RIO GRANDE CITY.
Brave Seminole Scout Prevents
a Fire in Fort Ringgold.
The Free Zone.

l7-District court should con
vene here tomorrow, but at this
writing neither the judge, dis
trlct attorney, nor sheriff are
here. They are all expected to
arrive today, however.
There came near being a dis
astrous fire in Fort Ringgold
last week. A large lamp in the
post canteen in some way fell
and exploded. Some of the
boys began to remove the fur
niture and other movables.
Others ran to start the fire
alarm. But one of the Semi
mole Indian scouts, 81 Clayton.
remarked to an officer who had
been attracted to the scene by
the blaze:
"Cap'n, guess, | dun bettah
put dat ar ting outen heah.
befo' hit bun up any of dis
good like'ir!" And suiting the
action to the words, 81 seized
the blazing lamp, now the size
of a hogshead, and keeping it
to the leeward of his body,
steered clear of the building
and deposited the cause of all
the commotion on the parade
ground outside. He was unin-
jured by the burning oil, and
his GOODNESS and grit undoubt-
edly sa 7ed Uncle Sam several
thousand dollars worth of build
ings.
One of the scouts stationed
here already has a medal for
individual bravery in action.
81 will also probably receive
some fitting testimonial for his
daring deed,
The iona Libre, just across
the Rio Grande, is probably
the only real free trade belt in
the world. A democratic con-
gress by an overwhelming ma
jority has declared war on any
such anti-protection institu
ton. Some of our Mexican
friends over the border seem to
think the national democracy
has attained the pinnacle of
political qualification. When
they breach the matter to your
correspondent, he always
changes the subject.
Whatever hampers commerce
and increases the cost of living
on the Mexican frontier reacts
on the Texas side of the bound
airy. Heretofore the American
manufactures has successfully
competed with all Europe in
this free belt. He had it to do,
and yet he thrived on his re-
duced profits.
Protection worked the wrong
way on the Rio Grande-it pro
tected the wrong mantle for
eign laborcr. The records Of
the Z. s. commissioners courts
on this frontier and the federal
court dockets show that Amer
lean goods are continually be
ing Struggled back into the
United States. At times it is
claimed that the American man
ufacturer would be unable,
without his wide margins at
home to compete in the IONA
Libre with the European man

chief, had been a white man, he would

"Sitting Bull was not a real chief
that is, he wasn't a war chief. He was
a medicine man, what the Indians cal

have been called a great achievement il

nv lADY'S HAT.

Through many a seasons cloud n u
And wind and rain
I've watched the sands of fashion run
And loved you, Jane,
And never has my firm belief
In your fair fancies caused me grief.
NV deep devotion has been sound
When you've elected
To trail your skirts upon the ground,
And quite protected
My mind has been from hagSard doubt
When you've essayed to do without.
In strange and devious paths where you
Have sought for beauty
I've followed, and a rosy view
Has been sweet duty
Determined ever to admire
The fashion Of my James attire.
But now, ah, now, that roseate hue
TooSurcly dies.
A hostile and electric blue"
Corrupts my eyes,
And all around, injecting me,

magenta" shot with every shade
Which errirg man
Has in his widest moments made
Since shades began
Such shades as make the blood run cold
And blanch the cheek Of young and old.

And pale, l send
My cheerful resignation in
And "office" end.

perhaps upward Of 90 years Of age.

Wooster, widow of General Wooster,
killed in the last wal (American Revo-
l~ution). This lady was between 20 and
80 years old. She said she had not been
at a ball before since the middle Of the
eighteenth century, which was fifty
years ago. She was, notwithstanding
her age, very lively and cheerful in the
ballroom, but could not be prevailed
upon to dance.
Suffer me here to mention one in
| stance to illustrate her mirth on the
occasion, which I think worth noticing,
considering her age. All the musicians
except the drummer boy, happened t.
be absent from the room. The drummel
began to beat to call them up. This ven

The Missing Birds,

The bluebirtls, yellow birds and black
birds seem to have disappeared from
western New York this year Reports
from careful ornithologists in many
counties show that these birds have not
appeared this spring as usual Walter
Burke of Batavia writes: Where are
the blackbirds? These birds in past
years congregated i'll large numbers i'll u

the air with their melodious singing,
but now it is all hushed and still. -
The Livingston Republican says
The absence of blucbirds has been
commented on by several papers, and,
come to think of it, we haven't noticed
any bluebirds or yellow birds either,
but the orioles are flashing through tho
foliage i'll considerable numbers and &C.
