BLOWN FROM A GUN.

Experiences OF 8 Man I'm . Central Amer

/ 81 was once sentenced to be blown
from gum" said Maj. John Hitchcock,
4 to a st. Louis Globe Democrat man.
81 had long been a resident Of that
land of revolutions, Central America.
During one of the semi-annual political
hpheavals l was captured by a savage
mob known as the army of Salvador
! and sentenced to death In the camp
of my captors six-pound gun was
fired at high noon by means of a sun
glass, and to the muzzle Of this anti
quated smoothbore was strapped and
left in tho broiling sun to await my
fate.
} Now, have faced several kinds Of
death in my day, but that knocked all
the nerve out of me. could not see the
small, fiery spot made by the sun glass,
but l knew it was creeping slowly but
surely to the powder at the vent. 1
Imagined l could hear tho powder
kissing with the heat.
THE blazing sun beat down upon
my bare head, binding me and seeming
to boil the blood in my veins l became
hysterical and prayed and cursed by
turns The great clock in the cathedral
was on tho stroke of noon and knew
that the concentrated rays of the sun
were pouring directly upon the powder.
THE troops were DOING in the shade.
"a few, awakened by the bell, raised up
on their elbows and watched me with
lazy interest, expecting every moment
to see mo blown to shreds-

of tho bell, when suddenly a harsher

A LAPIDARY'S SHOP.

how the Cutting and Polishing OF Pre-
! cieus Stones Is Accomplished.
The actual work of cutting, drilling,
md polishing gems has ever been sur
bundled py an air Of mystery which the
Furious have only in very rare instances
been able to penetrate. Strange as it
ray seem, the hardest gems, and even
he diamond, are cut with rapidly-re-
volving disc Of tin, that has no teeth,
and is perfectly smooth on its edge.
There are number of these discs, says
he Philadelphia Press, varying IN size
rom the head of small pin up to
twenty inches or more in diameter. The
discs are placed On the mandril of an
ordinary foot lathe, and the surface of
the disc is kept running in a bath
Of turpentine and oil in which is placed
, quantity of emery or diamond dust,
recording 10 the character of the stone
to be cut By this process it has been
found that the hardest stones are the
easiest cut. The little disc of tin slips
throlgh piece of crocidolite dNiite as
rapidly as a buzz saw would through
piece of soft pine.
Much of the work that formerly was
accomplished by the slow process Of
grinding after chipping off as much as
could be done with safety and at enor-
Imous expense, is now done SO easily that
it is scarcely counted in the cost. After
the gems are cut on the tin wheel to
near their required shape they are
taken over to the polishing wheels,
where another surprise awaits the Wis
itor.
The polishing wheels are all made Of
Head and turned slowly by hand. The
gems, however, never touch the real
surface of the lead. They are smeared
with a mixture of water and tripoi or
diamond dust. The drilling is still per-
formed with the old-fashioned bow
and cord of the ancients, which for
many reasons has been found superior
TO the finest lathe drill. The gems be-
fore they can be polished are carefully
fastened on the end of stick about
four or five inches long by means of ce-
ment, which is first heated over gas
let.

FOR FlOGGiNG a REBEL.
An English Ofiicer Who Was Hanged FOL
Causing n Mutiueer's Death

An English Officer Who Was Hanged for
Causing "a Mutineer's Death
Once upon 4 time, about a hundred
years ago, there was colonel in the
English army whose name was Wall;
and Open Court says it was his unlucky
destiny to be governor and military
commandant OF one of the British West
india islanGs During his adnlinistra-
ton a mutiny broke ont, which he Wig
orously suppressed. Having conquered
the rebellion he arrested one of the
mutineers on the parade ground in
Afront of the BARRACKS and ordered him
10 be tried Immediately By drum head
court martial The court met, the pris-
pner being within sight of it but not
hear enough to hear the testimony. He
WAS found guilty and sentenced to be
logged Gov. Wall approved the sem
tence and the man died under the fog
ging. When the news reached England
Gov. Wall waS'indicted for murder He
nvaded arrest and made his way to
Franco, where he lived for about TWEEN
ty years, and then thinking that the az
fair was forgotten he returned to Eng
land. He was at once arrested and
brought TO trial, where his fate rested
on the following critical issue: Was or
was not the mutineer present before the
court martial? On this point the judges
instructed the jury that if the prisoner
was not near enough to hear the testi-
mony OF the witnesses against him SO
that he might cross examine them, he
was not present within the meaning
Of the Lave; and in that case his trial
and punishment were illegal. There
upon the jury found Governor Wall
guilty Of murder; and. in spite of his
rank and his influential friends, he was
hanged.

TRIBUTE TO A FRIEND.

From a column obituary in the Kan
sas City Gazette, written by its editor,
Hon. George w. Martin, we take the
subjoined paragraph in reference to the
personal relations that existed between
the writer and Hon. John S. Anderson:
''Our association with him, from the
moment we laid eyes on each other,
about March z, 1868, down to the present,
was as intimate as probably as ever ex-
listed between two men. He was royal,
tender hearted man, pure and clean IN
word, thought and deed, Of unfiinchlng
honor, and of thoughtful consideration
for all around him. We heard him
preach twice Sunday for five years.
He was solid, practical, strong man IN
the pulpit, very spiritual and touching
in his addresses, original and somewhat
out of the rut in his topics. He should
have remained in the pulpit, and we VIII
carry the regret TO our grave that we
ever had anything to do in encouraging
him to lie anything else than a
preacher"

AN ANNIVERSARY,

Last Saturday was the thirtieth ami
versary of the day when a mob of pro-
slavery men, acting under the authority
Of the United States court, sacked Law
renee, destroying the Free State hotel
and the printing offices and looting the
town. Referring to the event the Jour-
nal of that city says
During the past year several citizens
who were here then and took part in the
stirring scenes, have passed away. 1t
has been more than a century since the
day when Jones revenged himself upon
Lawrence; and only few years more
will pass before all who took part then
will have gone with the majority. The
bitterness engenQered then is known no
more, and it is difficult for this genera
ton to realize what it meant then to be a
citizen of Kansas.
within the year there has been COM
pleted and given to the world the first
real history of the struggle, of which the
sacking of Lawrence was part. Gov
ernor Robinson has published his Exam
sas Conflict" and it has had already the
effect of awakening renewed interest in
the history of the state, and is destined
to do great good. There is much more
that is still unwritten, but all will some
time be told, and not until it is, and not
until new generations have come upon
the scene will the world realize the full
importance of the history made by those
first settlers and be able to appreciate
the benefit they render to mankind.

A DISGRACEFUL seen E.

A Washington dispatch gives the fol-
lowing account CT a disgraceful scene
that occurred in the house one day last
week, the actors in which were Snod-
grass. Tennessee Democrat, and Jerry
Simpson. The former had the floor and
the latter Interrupted with some insult
ing questions. The report says:
This caused Snodgrass to reply by
saying that Simpson had been elected as
farmer and he was expected to favor
legislation insisted upon by the farmers,
but instead of this he had always voted
with the railroads, was even in the
hands of the New York and Chicago
grain gamblers, the acknowledged
enemies of the farmers, and to all this
had put on silk socks, wore diamonds,
and the first time he saw him he was
dressed out in this way and was gliding
down the avenue on a bicycle smoking
25 cent cigar He regarded this a great
metamorphosis for a sockless statesman.
Simpson replied by saying the sock
less story was started on him by fool
red headed editor in Kansas" and his
clothes now were no better than those
worn by Snodgrass. They might call
him sockleSs, but no one had called him
q fool.
This was responded to by jeers and
Kisses. Jerry then said he had heard
two members say Snodgrass was the
biggest fool in the house. He went on
in this line at some length, when Snod-
grass proposed to leave it 10 a vote of
the house which was the biggest fool.
He seemed in good humor, while Jerry
lost his temper and again replied. Thus
it went, turn about, until all were COM
petely disguised.
Representative Tarsney went to
Speaker Crisp and urged him to stop the
disgraceful scene if possible. The
speaker reluctantly replied that under
the rules he could see no way to do 1t,
but added that he would like to do So
