sLanu u..oorrected ~ When he went
to "the front" in the Waikato cam
paign of 1863 as special war cor
respondent for his journal, the
Southern Cross, he attached him
self temporarily to the mounted
Troop, commanded by Lieutenant
Raft, of MERGERS battery. He went
into the Drury hotel en- route, to
have refresher, and through some
inadvertence the revolver in his belt
went off. An officer rushed into
the room from an adjacent apart
ment, and peremptorily inquired
what was the trouble and what the
cause of the explosion. Raft, who
was at the other side of the table,
putting himself outside an imperial
pint in a pewter, wittily replied, in
his devil-may-care style, ooh, it's
only reporter !" A chaplain of
the imperial forces took occasion to
send home an article to one of the
religious journals, in which he re-
fected upon Auckland and its
colonists; but he got such troun-
cling from Mr.. Creighton that he
was glad to retire from the cores
pondence. Mr.. Creighton's four
column dispatch to the Southern
Cross, descriptive of the engage
ment of the Gate Pa, was repub-
lished in the London Times, and
was not unworthy even of the pen
of its own war correspondent, DR..
Russell. Creighton afterwards con-
fidentially informed me that it was

Horses Wearing Wells.

The oldest things to be seen in the
streets Of Colorado Springs are horses
decked with wells. We have grown
accustomed to the juinty little hats
worn by many horses in our town to
protect them from the heat Of the sun.
We can even see an umbrella fastened
over their heads without surprise. but
a veil gives to,the noble beast a dandy.
ish look that is very droll. Some Of
these wells, belonging TO fine saddles.
are mere fringes Of fine strips Of leath-
er that hang before the eyes; others
are mosquito netting drawn tightly
back and fastened like a woman's nose
veil. but the most stylish and alto
gether effective are Of netting drawn
over a loop which hold II away from
the eyes, yet completely protects them.
These exaggerated goggles give the
gravest horse a waggish look. The
wells are not worn for fashions sake.
They are indeed q Stern necessity. ard
the comfort Of it not even the life Of
the horse demands il. Colorado, with
all its great attractions. has u
plague--the plague Of flies. Flies OF
all sizes, from the least up to the
enormous blueblottle, are every.
where. Most parts OF his body the
horse can himself protect il not de-
prived OF his tail, but his eyes he can.
not, and these delicate organs are
special objects Of attack by the fly
tribe. II Is the least a man a do TO
provide a protecting veil for his most
faithful servant. -Natioadi Issue.

how the BuHalOes Died.

A story teller Of half a century ago
gave an account Of a terrible method
which the western Indians used in
destroying the buffalo, and one which
must have been the means of smiling
out an incalculable number Of lives.
The red hunters. he said, were wont
10 lie concealed in the vicinity Of some
high prccipice. aud when a herd OF
bisons came roaming thither in search
of food they would send one or two
braves out among th.m, concealed in
the efigy OF a buffalo and covered
with its head, hide, and horns. The
false buffalo being stationed between
the herd and the precipicc, the In
diaus would surround the herd, as
nearly as possible, and then rush from
their conccalment shouting like de-
mons. The animals being alarmed,
and seeing no way open but in the di-
"rection of the false buffalo, would run
toward it., and the false buffalo NOV
ing quickly to the edge ofthe clitr went
over, but Icy some preconcciyed ar
rangcmcnt took refuge in cave, cleft,
or shelf. The leaders Of the herd
would pause on the brink, seeing
death before them, but those behind
could not see the abyss. and would
press madly forward, so that those in
front were forced to leap TO the rocky
ground hundreds of feet below. while
those behind were goaded forward by
the hunters until they became mad
with fear and followed in 10 the same
end. The Indians then selected as
much meat as they wished and left the
rest to the wolyes.-Detr0n Free Press.

MARsHFIELD, Wis, Sept. Il. Another
night of terror has passed and the stu
alton is not in the least improved, ex.
cept that the wind has somewhat sub
sided from the gale that blew the
ashes and smoke in binding sheets all
night long.
No lives are reported lost, but reports
are hourly coming in of the burning OF
dwellings in other sections.
The village of Mcmillan is still there,
but has only been saved from de-
struction by fighting that has never
been equalled. From 200 to 300
men, cheered on by Is. f. Mcmillan.
have worked the past three days and
nights; singed and smoked, they look
more like avage than men. The
heavens last night were lurid and the
bowling wilma and falling trees made n
hideous night that turned many a
check pale. The needy are being cared
for by citizens. The estimat
cd loss to property, bust
ness, etc. will reach millions.
There is no sign OF rain, and as the
forest leaves have commenced flying,
it is a gloomy prospect that confronts
the inhabitants of northern Wisconsin.
J COLBY, Wis. Sept. l7.-This city has
had Il serious time with fire since
Thursday noon; the wind blew a gale
and drove the forest fire ut a fearful rate
up to the city limits, but by hard work
the town has been saved and is now
practically out of danger.

State Tax Levy Difficulty.

Sioux FALLS, 5. D., Sept. l6.-A
point has been raised with reference to
the recent state tax levy Of 4 40 mills
which is likely to cause somebody not
Ii little embarrassment. The constitu-
ton limits the maximum levy to . mills
hut empowers the Legislature to levy an
additional deficiency tax. This the
Legislature did not do at lis last session
but it did levy a sinking fund AK of
40 mill. The state board took the
bull by the horns and put the state
levy at 44-1O mills which is claimed to
be . mills higher than they
had any authority to do.
Some of the county boards
in the state have refused to recognize
the state levy in excess Of the constitu-
tional limit and are excluding from
their levies the . mill excess. Other
boards are making the levy in accord
with the order Of the state board, but
freely declare that any taxpayer who
sees fit to contest the payment of the
tax will he able to resist 1t success
fully. In this county there is some
talk of enjoining the county auditor
from entering up the levy made by the
county board in accordance with the
state / mill levy. All around the stu
alton seems to be very much mixed
with an excellent chance for much
confusion later on.

An Arid Desert.

KIowA, Kas., Sept. l7.-"God pity
the man who in the wild race for homes
attempts TO locate in the Cherokee strip
northwest Of here" said an old Fort
Supply stage driver to q correspondent
this morning.
"While there is a little fairly good
land just south of here, the great bulk
of the western third of the strip is
wholly unfit for human habitation.
The soil is unproductive, and for six
months in the year the country is abso-
lutely devoid of water, while the hills
are covered with cr~ystalized sand and
particles of gypsum that glitter in the
sur like bits of glass, almost binding
the beholder. The two principal
streams, the Salt Fork and the CHINA
mon, are salt water, bitter and unfit
for man or beast"
The words of this old timer are only
to- true. for there are a million or
more acres of land in the western end
of the strip that are as valueless and
uninhabitable as the Colorado desert,
yet there were gathered in this vicinity
this morning several thousand people
who rushed into this land when the
hour of noon arrived, and attempted To
open farms. Over on the west end al
Canadian, Tex, were a thousand cow
boys with horses saddled and bridled
and themselves booted and spurred
ready TO start in a wild race
for Woodward, the county seat
of n. county, which embraces all this
western end of the Cherokee strip. BE
fore the start they had organized
town government, elected officers anc
proposed to run things, and will prob
ably have no opposition, as very few
business men will venture to locate in
a town. in such a section of country
The town will be lively for a few
weeks, but at the end of that time tn,
whole site will not be worth as mucl
as the occupants could have earned
elsewhere in the time spent there.
