News of Major NIontandnn.

The following clipped from the Seattle Post-Intelliencer of Nov. 1st, will be of interest to many Nogales people, as MT. Montandon is we'll known in Nogales, as the man who built the N. M. & A. railroad:
 "Defnite news of the schooner Crys- tai, who went ashore in Yakutat bay, Alaska. reached this city yesterday by the mail steamer Dora, which arrived in port yesterday shortly after noon. George E. Montandon, the well known enginer and yachtsman, who went north last summer on his yacht, the Dauntless, came down on the Dora as a guest of Capt. Hansen, and having rescued the crew Of the Crystal with his fleet sloop, was able to give the fullest particulars.
 "The Crystal encountered fearful storm on the night of September 2, said MT. MoDtandOn, and went ashore at ll:l5 p. m., and she was soon de- molished by the waves, but Capt. Nick Lamson and his crew of four men and seven miners from Cook Inlet, made the shore safely and had time to preserve their clothing, baggage and food. She grounded on rocky beach sixteen miles above Yucatat, at high tide. The party camped six days on the beach, and the Dauntless was anchored two miles away. On board the yacht the party was taken to Va kutat, and there camped two weeks, when the Dora arrived and took them all to Sitka.
 The Crystal was engaged in cod fish ing and had 3,50O salt cod aboard. Her owner and master, Nick Lamson, lives in Tacoma.
 Mir. Montandon went to Yulatat to engage in beach mining and partially for pleasure. He reports that kind of mining is unproftable generally, and that it is hard to gain much idea of locations. "As to pleasure, said he, 'these Seattle yachtsmen don't know what they are missing. There are the finest horbors on the whole route, and the hunting and fishing could not be better. The scenery is fine and there is every condition for enjoyment"
 The Dauntless has been laid up at Yukatat, and Mir. Montandon will re- turn there in the spring"

 with plenty of wool, the usual black sheep, the tail tipped with white, d spot of white wool on top of the head, and black face: but when it comes to horns the animal is strictly in 1t, and none of them are Of tue kind usually worn by sheep.

Like Washington, Paul Jones consid-

necessary officer and offered, if one
could be procured, to treat him with
distinction greater than any commanding
officer has since offered chaplain. He
wrote of this matter, HE (the chaplain)

No More SIashin..

It is It noteworthy fact that the rapid
ly increasing number of new books, not
of poetry only. at the present hour is
accompanied by a diminution. not an
increase, of critical severity Ono would
have supposed that at such period
when, to adapt the proverb Of the wood
and the trees, one can hardly SEQ liter
ature for the books-the critical stand
ard would rise; that the critic would
show himself more, not less, exacting
and would be more careful, in the in
terest of the reader, to emphasize the
distinction between the excellent and
the mediocre.
Yet no one can read much Of the cur
rent periodical criticism without noting
that it is rather the opposite that is
happening While it is an obvious and
undeniabIe fact that the manufacture
of books, as distinguished from author
ship, exists on an enormous scale, yet
apparently the average critic becomes
more easy to please, not less, than of
old, as if he cried in sheer despair to
the makers of books, "Well, if you can t
rise to my standard, / must come down
to yours, and hardly six months pass

with such chorus of welcome and such
hecatOmbs Of praise as Ito borrow Ma
caulay's phrase) would require some
modification if applied to the master
pieces Of Walter Scott-to ''OId Nor
tally" or 1.-THE Heart Of Midlothian. :"
Now, as I have said, no one wishes
for return Of the criticism called slash
ing, but what I do think the intelligent
reader often sighs for is some criticism
that may be called discriminating, and
if the value Of such in literature of
| whatever kind is great it is surely
greatest where the literature in question
is poetry, in which Horace has told us
and the cultivated sense of mankind has
ratified his words-''mediocrity is not
admissible. "-Macmillan' s Magazine.

Punch In ENGLAND,

Punch had certainly no reason to
complain Of any lack Of homage paid
him by the leading spirits Of the eight
zenith century. Addison, as a young
man, wrote Latin verses about him,
Swift used him as one of the engines of
his political SATIRE and Steele, in 1.-THE
Tatler," got mp q mock quarrel be-
tween Mr. Isaac Bickerstaff and George
Powell, Punch's most famous show
man. In the course Of this quarrel,
which is supposed to have been a par
ody of a controversy between Hoadly
and Blackall. bishop of Exeter, Mr..
Bickerstaff declares that he knows the
joiner who put Punch together, and
that the hero's head had actually once
been laid aside for nutcracker. More
over, his scolding wife is but a bit of
crabtree, his courtiers were all taken
out of quickest hedge near Islington,
and DR.. Faustus himself is supposed to
have learned his whole part from an
old woman whom he long served in the
figure of broomstaff.
Curran, as young man, was an
amateur of marionettes, and on one oc-
casion obtained permission from show
man to pull the strings that worked the
figures and to put words into their
mouths. So we'll did he acquit himself
of his task that the audience was il
raptures, and the money collected was
four times as much as usual. 1t is said
that his success in finding retorts and
arguments for his little clients showed
Curran his true vocation and led him
to choose the bar for his profession. -

But NOT Until He'd Added Chapter to tho
History of the War.
In the rotunda Of the Auditorium ho-
tel several veterans of the war OF the
rebellion were seated around in a circlet
telling Of some Of their war experiences.
one of them relating the following in
cident:
Our regiment was in camp at HGr-
per's Ferry, and one bright morning a
conIrade and / secured permission to
visit farmhouse some distance away,
where we knew there was some poultry.
We rode horses and had some money i'll
our pockets to purchase the chickens
and turkeys we desired, for on this &C.
casion we h2d made up our minds to
forego fOraging, but later circumstances
arose that made il necessary for us to
forget our good resolutions. Turning our
horses into a grassfeld which was but
short distance from the house, we left
them to Craze at will. On reaching the
house we met the farmer on an old fash
toned porch that ran the whole front Of
the quaint farmhouse. told he farmer
that we had come to bJly some Of his
poultry, at which his S0uthern blood be-
gan to boil He swore bed rather see
every chicken and turkey on tie place
rot before he would sell them to any

what they were worth.
''That settled it with us. We could
not stand such an insult and went
straightway to the barn, where a fine
lot of fowls were pecking grain. Tt did

AS was in the act Of tying up the legs

my dismay saw coming mp the lane a
small company of Confederate cavalry.
I took in the situation at a glance. 1
knew we had not time to reach our
horses, and to escape on foot was impos-
sible. In the barnyard were two fine,
sleek mules Throwing my string Of
fowls over the back of one and jumping
astride the animal, I shouted to Bill
that was the first name of my comrade
to follow my example. He did so,
and I took the lead for the camp. The
mule that was Oh had taken but few
jumps when I heard Bill shout:
"Holy smoke! He's baked, Jim. >
looked around, and sure enough the
mule had baked. The Confederates
were close at hand, and shouted hack
to Bill:
Crawl on his neck, Bill, and chew
his ear. "
Bill lost no time i'll trying the exper-
iment. He got the end of the animals
long ear into his mouth and began oper-
ations. The mule gave a squeal, like
that Of a stuck pig,and rushed madly
after it's mate, which was riding ON,
for dear life. Suddenly saw something
loom up and rush past me. 1t was Bill
and his mule. Bills teeth were i'm
bedded in the animals ear, and blood
trickled down the side Of its head. Bill
was all bumped up on the back of his
mad steed and presented a most ludi-
crous sight The turkeys Topped their
wings, and the chickens made a terrible
chatter, which only served to make the
mule go faster. l heard the Confeder-
ates behind us laugh. They fired at rs,

Hoods SarSapariIIa

PEELED to cut her hair, as she could not
bear the weight of it. AT first the change
for the better was very gradual; the pains
seemed to be less frequent and the swell
ing in some of the joints subsidized after
using about one bottle. Then improve
ment was more rapid and one night she
surprised us greatly by telling us that we
need not prop her up in bed as we had
one for several months, and next night
she surprised us still more by rolling
over across the bed. From that time on
Improvement was Very Rapid
and she soon began to creep about the
house and then to walk on crutches. Now
she generally uses but one crutch, the dis
ease having left one leg crooked, and fear
it will remain SO. We feel that to Hoods
Sarsaparilla we owe our child's life.
