How Two Negroes in Slavery Days Tried
to Settle Trifing Dispute.
Zone of the most novel conflicts 1
ever saw between two belligerents of
the human race said Milo Stafford, of
New Orleans. to a writer for the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat, ''took place be-
tween two negroes on my plantation
few years before the war. A dispute
had arisen between them over the pos
session of an old pair of trousers, and
they were just on the point of begin
ming hostilities when 1 arrived at a
point where could take in the scene
without being observed by them. I
suppose most people would call it
brutal, but determined to let them go
ahead and pound one another for
awhile, thinking the matter might just
as well be settled between them then
and there, as 1 knew if I interfered
they would have it out at some future
time I was not prepared, however,
for the mode of warfare they selected.
Immediately they clasped their arms
around each other and began butting
their heads togetherlilze pair of sheep.
That they were in dead earnest was
evinced by the terrific force of the
blows, which sounded as loud as well

and SO effectually was it performed
that in very short time the heads of
both antagonists were covered with
blood. After continuing the fight for
about five minutes both broke away
and sat down to rest and recover their
breath preparatory to renewing the en-
counter, as neither signifed his willing
ness to give up. Thinking that the af-
fair had gone far enough 1 stepped
from where had been concealed and
demanded that they patch up their diff
ferences in a more peaceable way, and
warned them that if any renewal of
hostilities occurred they would be sum-
marily dealt with. This warning had
the desired effect and half an hour
later saw them working side by side,
chatting with each other cordially, as
if their recent fight had no place even

ExpensIve Carefulness.

An unusual summons was received
over the telephone not long ago by DIR.
David Birney, of the University of
Pennsylvania, from wealthy man in
New York, who wished him to go to
Long Island. DIR. Birney endeavored
to find out something about the nature
of the case he was expected to treat,
but the man, after securing his promise
to go, refused to talk further over the
phone. The doctor packed case of
instruments at random, and met the
man in New York. After taking din
ner at the Waldorf they took the train
for Long Island, but not a word was
said about the operation. When they
arrived the man thanked the doctor
and paid him fifty dollars; then, in re-
sponse to the look of wonder from the
astonished surgeon, he said: 81 saw
my sister bleed to death in a railroad
accident for want of a physician, and
since that day 1 have never travelled
without Oue.''

A Plunger,s Fad.

1t is told of Arthur Cartwright, a
notable of London, who ran through
three million seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollars in the course of three
years, in the days of the late duke of
Newcastle, that he invariably travelled
with his coffin. It was his habit to
keep it on trestle in his sitting-room
in Pail Mall, and he used to store
cigars, packs of cards and bottles con-
tanning divers kinds of spirits and min
eral waters. He was wont to say he
wanted his box thoroughly well aired
before he required it.

HIghest Gross in Amerlca.

The Two Republics (Mexico) notes
the erection on the summit of Mount
Orizaba, or, as the Mexicans call it.
Citlaltepetl (Star Noun tain), of an iron
cross seven yards high in place of the
wooden one erected there a long time
ago. The Two Republics asserts that
this cross is the highest one in Amer
lea. It has been supposed, it says, that
the volcano Mistes, in Guatemala, was
higher than Orizaba, but recent meas
urements make it appear that the lat
ter mountain is the highest one north
of the isthmus of Panama, and it is the
highest one on the western continent
on which cross has been erected.
Probably it is the highest one in the
world.

a poe.s QUEER FRIENDSHIP.
The Animal Deserts His Master for One
WHOM He Had Defended.

The Animal Deserts His Master for One
Whom He Had Defended.
It is often said that benefit con-
ferred does more to promote friendship
than a favor received. If you would
cultivate friendly feeling toward an
other, do him kindness; if you would
secure his lasting friendship, get him
to-do You a kindness. There is some;
truth, at any rate, in this viewsof the
case; and it applies even to dogs, as is
shown strikingly bya story related in
''Gold, Sport and&s &sCoffee-Planting In
Mysore,'' by Mr.. R. IA. Elliot.
Mr.. A. told me that he once wound
ed tiger which afterward sprang on
him, knocked him down and seized him
by the hand and arm. With Mr.. A.
was a large dog, which at once at
tackled the tiger, and diverted him
from Mr.. A. After driving off the dog,
the tiger returned to Mr.. A, and COM
menced worrying him, but was again
attacked by the dog.
The dog was driven off three or four
times, but the tiger was all the while
losing strength, and finally died. The
dog was uninjured. Now comes the
curious part of the story.
The dog, which was not affectionate,
belonged to Mr.. A. IS brother, and pre-
viously had taken no interest in any
one but his master. Now, however, he
refused to go home with his master,
but stuck closely to the wounded man,
and when some carbolic acid, which
caused pain, was applied by Mr.. AS
brother to the wound, the dog began
to growl and show other signs of dis
pleasure.
He would not allow anyone to come
near Mr.. A. except his own special
servant, and lay under the bed with
his nose sticking out, keeping close
guard.
When Mr.. A. was carried to the doc
tor, some thirty-fve miles away, the
dog went, too, and on the doctors ap-
plying carbolic acid and setting the
bones. which caused the patient to cry
out, the dog at once seized the doctor
by the leg.
In about three months Mr.. A. was
quite cured. After that the dog lost
all interest in him, and returned to his
master; and if he met Mr.. A. by
chance merely acknowledged his
recognition of him by the faintest wag
of his tail.
year afterward, happening to meet
the doctor, whom he had not seen in
the meantime, he at once flew at him
and seized him by the trousers.

DANGEROUS COURAGE.
Trainers Who Arc Rashly Venturesom
with Wild Animals.

Beside the regular tanners of wild
beasts, of whom the public know from
having seen them at their work, there
are some more obscure heroes in wild
beast show, namely, the grooms.
These are the men who live among the
wild beasts; who go into their cages
every day, and sleep within few feet
of the iron bars in order to be ready for
any emergency. Cleveland Moffett, in
McClure's magazine, says that from
living thus in an atmosphere of perpet-
ua1 danger the grooms come to have a
curious indifference TO claws and tangs.
Every one must admire man who
can bear pain and face danger. The
lion tanner, William Philadelphia, is
such man. Many times had / watched
him in his ''act" with Black FRINGE,
and wondered whether the lion was
really in earnest as he struck
and roared with such apparent
vicicushess, or whether he had simply
been trained to play part. Certainly
the lion looked as if his ono desire was
to kill the little man who teased him
SO with rod and whip, smiling all the
time under mis- yellow lnustache.
One night Black Prince sprang
ten feet through the air straight at
1nlIauclpNlt1, VINO saved MS lie Dy
lodging. but did not escape the sweep
of the lions forearm.
No one knew that, however, for the
tanner showed no sign of injury, but
brought his heavy whip down with a
stinging cut over the lions head, and
went through the ''act," holding a
handkerchief to his face now and then,
but smiling as before.
When he left the ring it was found
that one of the lions claws had laid his
cheek open almost from eye to lip; and
yet the man was smiling
''He meant to kill me-" said Philadel-
phia, as his face was being bound up.
'We will never show that lion
again. said the manager, much excited.
''Oh yes, we will,'' answered the
wounded tanner. 81 will make him
work tomorrow as usual
And he did, teasing and prodding
him that day as never before, as if dar-
ing him to do his worst.

ratine oath ID Hlndoostan.

The Hindoos have a curious way of
emphasizing what they say. In most
villages is a sacred tree, pipal tree,
and the gods are supposed to delight to
sit among its leaves and listen to the
music of their rustIing. The deponent
takes one of these leaves in his hands
and invokes the gods who sit about
him to crush him and those dear to
him as he crushes the leaf in his hand
if he speaks anything but the truth.
He then plucks and crushes the leaf
and states what he has to say.

A Kentuckian'S Story of Political Cam
paign in the Blue Grass State.
John c. Underwood, who was elected
lieutenant governor of Kentucky on
the same ticket with Luke Blackburn,
is an amusing story teller, particularly
when he is started on the subject of
political stumping in Kentucky. ''Our
people," said he to New York Even
ing Post man not long ago, s'don't like
snobbishness. remember one time
when was stumping one of the noun
tain counties bought twenty-five dol
lars worth of niclzels and carried them
in my saddle bags. At every log cabin
would ride up and ask for drink of
water. Out would come little boy or
girl with a gourd dipper of warm
water. would take a swallow, then
drop nickel in the dipper. The little
one would run in and 1 would go on.
The childs mother would come out and
have the generous gentleman pointed
out. The consequence was that I got
the vote of that house. Well, one
morning 1 rode up to a house and lit
tie girl brought me out a dipper of
water. 1 felt in my pocket and discov-
cred that I hadn't a copper.
"'Little girl said I, L generally
have nickel somewhere about me, but
1 haven't to-day, SO I'll give you what's
the next best thing for girl, and that's
a kiss, and 1 got down off my horse
and kissed her for my own little blue
eyed girl at home. Another little black
eyed girl here showed up, and I had to
kiss her for niece of mine she looked
like. BY this time, another little girl
showed up, half head taller than the
rest, and, not to be impartial, kissed
her; when I found that four or five
other girls had gathered, and l was in
for it. So, beginning with the smallest,
l kissed each one. The change in
stature was so gradual that / didn't
notice that the last one was full
grown young woman-and right hand
some at that-until 1 had kissed her.
Looking up, saw that there were two
or three old ladies laughing at me, and,
thinking I had made a bad break, 1
lifted my hat to the young lady and
begged her pardon and explained how
it was. She didn't seem to mind it
much, but the old ladies kept laughing,
and one of them said: why, durn it,
she's Bills wife
"'Well,' I thought, I'm in for it.
That knocks out all my votes in this
neighborhood.' 1 inquired ut the next
house who Bill was, and was told that
it was Buck Holiness the hardest citi-
zen in Carter county. Next day had
to speak at the court house, and when
I came up I noticed gang of about
twenty-five rough looking fellows off
at one side, and big six-footer talk
ing to them and gesticula ting with both
hands.
Who's that?' I inquired.
That's ''Buclx" Holmes and. his
gang was the reply. Cold chills ran
down my back and I shifted my re-
volver around to where 1 could reach
it without trouble, and then sauntered
up to overhear what he was saying
"'Well, I'm blankety blanked,' I
heard him say, 'if he don't catch my
vote. No snob thar, gentlemen. Jest
as soon kiss Door mans wife as rich
onesP That settled it, and I got one
hundred and fifty more votes in that
county than any other man on the
ticket"
