Saved By stampeded Horses.

II horses had the gift of human speech,
says a writer in Forest and Stream am sure
that thrilling history of the war could be
told from the equine standpoint They had
much to do with every part of the conflict.
in one OF the most exciting incidents OF my
part Of II, they had it all to do
We were at Is. on a scouting expedition
and, although we expected an attack, it was
so fierce and furious when il came that al
without struggle. Before we knew the
yanss were upon US, they came gaQoping into
town from all directions. Our men in charge
OF the horses turned them loose and STAN
peded them, and down the street they came
n panlc-stricken rush that nothing could
have stopped. A moment before I had
jumped on my own horse in front of head
quarters. thinking to do a little stamped
ing myself down that very street, but had
given II up on seeing squad Of buecOats ap-
prOaCh. knew they would never stop those
horses, though. and the instant they passed
ne dug in my spurs and took their dust and
followed. / was well past the yankS before
they discovered that there was johnny
Reb" on the side of one Of the horses and
opened fire. They missed me- but hit old Joe,
although he kept bravely on. Ahead of US
was u bayou which the flying herd Skirted,
but which joe and plunged into as our only
refuge. We were nearly over when he began
down the road behind US, l slipped of my side
arms and Slid off into the water and struck
out for shore, and was just / lie to scramble
up the bank and throw myself fat in the
bushes and swamp grass before the yanks
came In sight. Poor Joe made an heroic
effort to follow me and succeeded in getting
his fore feet on the bank where he hung for
moment with his noble face so close to me
that we looked INTO each others souls. After
moment, he sank back INTO the water.

It Never Happened.

"OUt in Missouri, says western congress
man. according to the New York Tribune,
they tell a good story on Senator David R.
Atchison of that state. who had the honor Of
being President for the duration of one sun
day by virtue OF his position as President pro
tempore of the Senate There was a good
deal Of discussion about bringing kosSuth TO
this country, and much talk about the great
Magyar A bill had been introduced in con
gresS to defray his expenses, and was then
before the senate. The word Magyar was
dinging in cverybodys ears. and it had not
escaped the attention Of Senator Atchison.
though he didn't know what it meant at that
time. There was talk one day in the CLOAK
rooms about the Magyar and the propriety
of voting for a bill to pay his expenses. no one
denying. thai he was great orator and a
friend of this country.
Wen said senator Atchison. after a
short reflection. if, as take it from his name.
he is related to the Maguires, of Kentucky,
he is a good fellow, and l shall vote for the
bill
There was some secret smiling, but no one
dared to correct the senator, and as soon as
they could make their escape that crowd Of
senators went into the chamber to have out
their laugh over Atchsons mistake in con
founding the word Magyar with Mcguire"

The Prendereast Case.

The courts and lawyers Of Chicago are
making a football of Patrick Eugene
Preudergast, the assassin OF Mayor Har-
rison. They kick him up to the gal.ows
goal and then kick him away again. They
promise that he shall pay the penalty Of
his crime on a certain day, and then they
stay the proceedings. Meantime the pub
lie sense of justice is outraged, and the
moral effect the speedy punishment Of
Prendergast for his crime would have had
upon the criminal and cranky element OF
Chicago has been lost
As the matter stands there is great
danger that a miscarriage of justice will
be the outcome of the case. Prendergast
was proved, upon fair trial, to be guilty
Of a dastardly murder, committed while
he was mentally responsible for his acts
His counsel appealed to the supreme
court for a supersedeas. In the appeal
there was no suggestion as TO the in
creased impairment of the murderer
intellect. But within a short while, it
has suited his convenience to get crazy"
This turn in his mental balance, how
ever, did not take place until his law
yers had unearthed an old statute
granting the right Of special inquiry
into a prisoners sanity subsequent
to his condemnation for capital Offense.
Under this old statute the lawyers are
now proceeding, in the hope Of saving his
life, and Judge Chetlain has authorized
the matter submitted to a special jury.
Should the jury decide the condemned
man lunaric, the death sentence would
be set aside and he would he placed in an
insane asylum. After undergoing treat
ment there for two or three years un
til the knowledge of his crime had grown
out Of the public mind, he might regain
his reason and be resentenced to a term
in the penitentiary Meantime, he would
have opportunities to exploit his murder
Gus bent, if he chose to do 50, or the law
yers might find some other loophole
through which they might draw him to
full personal liberty
It is revolving TO think of sending a
crazy person to the gallows : But it
would probably be for the good of society
If such crazy" murderers as Premier
CAST were hanged. His serious ALBERTA
ton was too sudden to be deep-seated.

A Famoua chestnut.

OF all Of the three or four hundred
thousand land claim bills that have come
before congress, the McGarrahan claim,
which the Senate on Thursday voted to
send to the court of private land claims, is
themost famous. 1t made its appearance
in 1883, and has ever since been either in
the courts or in congress. The claim has
passed congress Two or three times, and
1t is alleged that it was once approved by
President Lincoln after having passed
both house, but somebody mutilated the
record and cut out and destroyed two
pages, one of which contained the Presi-
dents signature. During President Har-
rison's term the claim was passed by
congress, but the President vetoed the
bill.
The claim arises out of an alleged
grant made to a Mexican by the name of
Gomez for four leagues of land in Califor-
mia, for colonization purposes, before that
state became part Of the United States.
Under the treaty with Spain all legal
grants were to be recognized by the
United States. McGarrahan purchased
the grant of Gomez. 1t is claimed the
grant to Gomez was illegal. Subsequent
TO McGarrahans purchase squatters
took possession of some of the land, a
rich quicksilver deposit was found on it,
a company TO operate the quicksilver
mine was formed, and il is this company
that is contesting McGarrahan's claim.
Congress and the courts seem never to
have been able to get together on the
matter. Congress has frequently ac-
knowledged the justice of McGarrahan's
claim, but the supreme court has several
times decided against him Chief Jus
tice Chase and Justices Field, Davis,
Miller and others-in all, fourteen-have
held McGarrahan's purchased patent
illegal
Leaving out of the question the merits
of the muddled case, it would probably
have been much cheaper had congress
voted McGarraLan $3.50, 600 on the condi-
ton that he. drop the claim. The case
has been before one tribunal or another
for nearly forty years, congress has
printed 5000 pages of records and the
courts as much more, and both congress
ana the courts have spent hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of time on it
without arriving at decision And as q
matter of fact, the claim is no nearer set
tied now chan it was nearly forty years
ago

The Free Coinage Sentiment.


The secret Of free coinage sentiment is

OF Virginia. that in tho eastern part of his
state, where 1t seems 10 be universal tho
Impression has gotten out that all that was
necessary was to have free silver, and some
how that would benefit them, without exactly
knowing how. There has never been a finan-

When you are old and gray and full of sleep.
And slowly read, and dream OF the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows
deep.
How many loved your moments of glad
grace,
And loved your beauty, with love false or
true:
But Que man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows OF your changing face
Then bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur the little sad: From US fed Love;
He paced upon the mountains far above
And hid his face amid crowd OF stars"

women claim to look out for number two--at
