DROWNED.

Down upon the beach Of sand,
When the nights fierce storm was DER,
And the mornings tender hand
Touched with light the wreck strew
shore,
Fishers in their suits OF gray
Foupd her holy where it lay
CSA aIi ~llIsl.xS on the shore.
Beautiful was she, and fair;
Pale as marble; and her hair
Seemed like golden threads Just spun
From a summer MONDAY sun;
And the curtains OF her eyes
Fastened down by fringe Of gold
Hid the tiny azure skies
Underneath their velvet fold
Scarce a dozen ummers old
Was this little maid they found,
Cold and ~lifeless on the ground
So the fishers sadly spread
On the beach . ragged coat;
Laidupon it Beauiy's dead,
Lifted her into their boat.
Tesrfuliy, these fishers brown
Rowed in silence 10 the town.
Where the busy, busting lhronS,
Half in sorrow, half in song,
On its way moves up and down
In the holy chapel place,
With a smile upon her face,
Like an angel did she seem
Smiling in q happy dream!
Now the fishers hear the peal
or the solemn music steal
Through the chapels scented air;
Now with heavy hearts they kneel
While the good priest Its his prayer
For their little maiden there;
God OF Heaven, earth and love,
Look upon u from above
In Thy mercy while We pray!
Doth a mother far away
Long 10 see her child asain'
Heal, 0 God her grief with love,
Comfort with Thy blessed grace
All who miss this little face.
Bless, o God these fishermen
Fill their hearts With love: and vtsa
They like this fair child shall sleep
When LIES rugged hill and steep
Shall be climbed-we pray thee, take
Them to Thee. for Jesus sake,
For His sake kind Goi. Amen"
Then the fishers said; Amen"

defied the ducking stool.
After the first 'sousing'' in the village
horse pond, her husband exclaimed
"MollieI Mollie! Woot thee promise |
never to scold at again?"

Molly had another souse and the hus-
band met with the same acrimonious re-
sponse to his anxious interrouations.
The sousing was repeated, but Molly
continued 20 be obdurate and contulna-
cious.
"You may drown T." shouted Molly.

Molly, but released her, for the husband

critical punishment, the Lord of Manor

a good story is going the rounds of a

full instructions as to his duties, sent
him to canvass in New England.
''Of course" said the manager, 'we

The youth accomplished his Journey,
and on his return presented to the man

manager glanced over it and said:

the captain and his thirty-six men are

when it was seen that the vessel had no
chance. In the sea and the storm that
have been raging for the last week the
boats could have hardly lived.
a later dispatch to this city, from

HORRIBLE Punfsh1nenn-

Once when General Sheridan, Tom
Ochiltree and Mexican gentleman were
at San Antonio, the conversation fell on
the possibility of another war with
Mexico.
'.Do you think we could whip Mex
ico?'i asked the redoubtable Tom.
'sCan a ton crush pound?'' senten-
tiously replied Sheridan; and then it
was discussed what terms the victor
might demand, whether there would be
partition of Mexico, etc.
Sheridan grew impatient, for he was
always warm friend of the Mexican
people, and a war with them would not
at all have suited him, so he blazed out !:
Gentlemen, in case of war with
Mexico, which God forbid, and in case
we were victorious, / would not spare
Mexico; no, sir! / would impose condi-
tions of the most onerous sort; 1 would
inflict fearful penalty OH Mexico; some-
thing to arouse the horror of mankind"
What would that be?' demanded his
excited listeners.

his most solemn manner, Il would de-
mand of Mexico that she take back

WASHINGTON, Oct. r. -Brigadier- Gen
eral Kautz, commanding the Department
of the Columbia, in his annual report
speaks Of the repeated troubles between
Indians and white settlers in the Koote-
mai River country. The Indians in that
section are unprovided with an agent,
and seem to have no one to look to for aid
or counsel. General Kautz says that in
the near future q great increase in the
number ofsettlers will precede the build
ing Of the Great Northern Railroad, and
trouble will follow unless some provision
is made i'll anticipation.
In closing his report General Kautz
says he regards the highest duty of our
small army in time Of peace to be the ac-
QUESTION and dissemination of military
knowledge among the people, Recruits
for the army should be obtained from
young, ambitious and energetic sons of
patriotic citizens, and the army should
cease to be the refuge of an inefficient, in
dolent and wandering element of the
country.
Recruits should be furnished from all
parts OF the Union in proportion to the
population, to serve, as a rule, only one
enlistment, and then be returned to their
homes TO serve as officers in the event of
war and instructors for State military or
CARNATIONS in time of peace. The sup
port OF the Government to this end would
raise the standing of enlisted men at once
to one of responsibility, and secure the
enlistment ofproper material, which can
not now be obtained, in view of the low
| estimate the average civilian entertains
for a soldier in time of peace.
''It would also," says General Kantz,
give distinctive and republican char
acter to oar army, which regard as very
| essential under cur form of government.
We cannot hope to popularize the army
so long as we ape the methods and details
of European armies, and there is no
| necessity for SO doing"

Two suspected revolutionists, captured

been shot under peculiar Mexican law
permitting the shooting of prisoners who
attempt TO escape" BY its warrant
hundreds of men have been executed in
Mexico the past five years. A political
prisoner is given to understand that no
must make break for liberty, and If he
does not he will be shot anyhow. Tho
victim is allowed to put some ten yards
OF space between himself and his captors,
and is then tumbled ON his face with
bullets through his back.
IL is noticeable that these Escapes"
never occur in thickly wooded or
bushy country, where the prisoner would
nave some chance to dodge. The mill
tary rule instituted by the Mexican Gem
eral along the Rio Grande since tho
Garcia outbreak is an exceedingly strict
one, and people are afraid to be seen in

NAMING A TOWN
The Father of Seven Red-Headed Sis
tiers Started the Town.

The town of Auburndale, Wis, re-
ceived its name in a peculiar manner.
Years ago, when that section was COM
paratively undeveloped and land was
cheap, man named King located there
and built mill.
The place had good shipping facilities
and the mill soon became nucleus of
quite thriving, hustling little town.
Then arose the question of name
for the embryo city, and by common
consent the right of naming it was con-
ceded to the first settler, Mr.. King.
The citizens wanted to call the place
Kings Mills, but the old gentleman OBJ
jected. He said he didn't want his name
tackled on to any one-horse or two-horse
village.
Now, says the New York Continent,
the old man was the happy father of
seven bouncing daughters. and the vii
layers suggested that the name of one of
them should be given to the new town.
This idea pleased the father as much as
it pleased the seven daughters, but which
one of the seven fair ones should he ho-r.
ored above her six sisters? The town
could not be handicapped with all the
seven names.
Finally happy thought struck the old
man. Every one of his seven daughters
was red-headed. He decided to honor
them all by christening the town Auburn
dale, and AuburndaIe it remains to this
day.
