Sounds Very Much Like Snake Story.
IEtchangs.1


The Confederate cayalryman was often puz-
zled rs TO how to provide himself with horse.
The authorities gave him the choice to keep
mounted or go into the ranks with his musket,
IS horses were not furnished by the Govern
nent. 10 be dismounted and become foot
soldier was worse to him than a court-martial,
and he would risk much in mis- efforts to get a
horse FROM tho enemy. In the Fall of 1868 a
rebel csyalryman had his horse killed in a
skirmish Gear Warrenton, and IS his best
chance then to capture one from the
enemy, ie put his wits to work to devise the
ways and means.
He was with the outside pickets, and not far
Off on the pike were the cavalry pickets of the
enemy. He procured piece of telegraph wire
from. the railroad, and when twilight came on
stretched this across the road, fastening one
end to the fence and the other end to conve-
nient tree inst high enough to catch cavalry
man about the belt. When matters were thus
arranged to mis- liking he started down the
pike and stopped in plain view of the enemy.
1t was not long before three of them gave
chase mounted on good horses. 1t was now
too dark for them to see the wires, and on they
came, determined to have a prisoner The
chase was sharp, and quickly over, so that by
the time the rebel schemer had passed through
and under his trap, the enemy was upon him.
The sequel is not hard to guess. I wo OF the
pursuers were quickly and most unceremoni-
ously endorsed, the third being so much as
tonished and frightened at their fate az to turn
and beat a hasty retreat. The two horses with
out their riders continued down the road, and
were easily captured by the Confederate, who,
by his clevor ruse, became their owner, and
kept his place in the cavalry.
The two pickets left to themselves hurriedly
made their way back to their comrades as crest
fallen and astonished as two men could we'll be.
The hero Of this incident tells the tale himself,
and adds be rode one of these horses to Apo
mattox and from there to his home, and that it
was one OF the best he ever owned.

The Disaster at Nautilus.

Later advices from Mauritius say that the
streets in Port Louis are literally filed with
debris, and dead and injured persons are con-
tinually being found under the ruins of houses.
The burial of the 600 persons killed in Port
Louis occupied six days. In many cases the
lahorers employed on plantations deserted the
fields upon the approach of the storm and took
refuge in large outbuildings. These buildings
soon Collapsed and hundreds were crushed to
death. Out OF 62 churches, 80 were completely
ra;ned and the remaining IL badly damaged.
Not single house in the Tranquebar section of
Port Louis was left standing.

country is fat and much of it below sea level.
The district is threaded with elevated water
courses into which the surface water is elevated
by those long-armed windmills which add such
picturesque feature to the land scape, especi-
ally when seen at a distance. After heavy
rains the appearance of the county is decidedly
"watery," for the water is slow in being car
ried away. The land has been well worth re-

ICEBERGS AT SEA.
Incoming Steamships Report the Ocean
Full Of Them.
TEe,u FogE Uor'd

The reports of incoming steamers during the
past week show an unusually large number of
lcebeFgs drifting about the Atlantic These
icy monsters are becoming a great menace to
the transatlantic liners, for they are directly
in the path usually followed by the big liners
at this season OF the year. As a consequence
OF this prevalence Of ice tho cautious naviga-
tors are making unusually long trips, FOR they
steer avery southeTly course TO avoid bum ping
into one of the derelicts from the Polar
regions.
The log Of the Inman liner City of Berlin,
which arrived yesterday evening, shows how

ers themselves. The cities have become SO
crowded The quest on of mere existence Is
difficult one TO solve for thousands. One who
has never seen a European city can hardly con-
ceive of tho wrcichedness which exists on this
side the Atlantic. The misery to be found
there only in tho metropolis can be counter
parted here in ciles OF from 80 600 10 100000.
Country wages are extremely low-in many
cases insufficient TO support family upon. Such
laborers, not possessing sufficient TO emlgrate,
crowd into the alread y-oyerfowing cities This
rush cityward has become such National qnes-
tion that it has engaged the attention of Par
lament. As yet no efiicacious remedy has been
brought forward. In my opinion, it is doubt
ful if there can be much improvement without
a radical alteration Of the present landholding
system.
These aristocratic landlords care more for
their pleasure than the veal or wo of few

1t is alleged that as the tariff now

an opening for established timed

deluge the American market at a

While our Democratic friends have

still higher duty on MS rice. they have
attempted 10 do nothing more favorable
for him than 20 put him in open and un-
restricted competition with the wool
growers Of foreign countries, where
both land and labor are much cheaper
than they are here.
The Mckinley bill. on the contrary.
protects the farmer all along the line.
