A man sprang up before each Of us,
too, greeting our appearance merely
by grunt of surprise. For it was no
time to ask or answer. The mob was
recovering itself. and each moment
brought it reinforcements. while its
fury was augmented by the trick we
had played it, and the prospect Of our
escape.
We were under 40, all told; and some
men were riding double. Beers eye
glanced hastily over his array and lit
on us three. He turned and gave some
order to his lieutenant. The fellow
spurred his horse, splendid gray, as
powerful as his masters, alongside Of
Croisette, threw his arm round the lad
and dragged him dexterously on to his
own crupper. did not understand the
action, but l saw Croisette settle him
self behind Blaise Bure-for he it was
and supposed no harm was intended.
The next moment we had surged for
ward and were swaying to and fro in
the midst of the crowd.
What ensued cannot tell. The out.
look, so far as ] was concerned, was
limited to wildly-plunging horses-we
were in the center of the band--and
riders swaying in the saddle-with a
glimpse here and there of fringe Of
white scOwling faces and tossing arms.
Once, a lane opening, I saw the vidame's
charger-he was in the van stumble
and fall among the crowd and heard a
great shout go up. But Beers by a
mighty effort lifted It to its legs again.
And once, too, minute later, those
riding on my right swerved outwards
and saw something never afterwards

How Georgia Town Came to Get Its
Queer Title.


j, r. Shepard, a prominent citizen OF
Nameless, Laurens county, Ca, was in
the city recently and while here told
how his town got its queer name.
After the post office authorities at
Washington decided to give us post

day that same name would be known
all over the country and that the town
would grow and blossom as rose, for

while the name had suggested was a
good one, it was too similar to another

Disappointment.

AWashington paper says that a young
lady of the capital met gentleman
from far western state at a party in
Washington. "You are not from the
far west, sir" she said, doubtfully.
"Yes; have lived there all my life"
"0h, I'm SO glad to meet you!"
Thank you"
"But-excuse me-you see, I've read
all the western stories, and it seems to
me that you've forgotten something"
Nothing that can call to mind"
why, you don't say thar and look
hyar, stranger and use all sorts Of bad
grammar, and wear pistol so that it
bulges out your coat"
II have never done those things"

GRANDMOTHER,

Slowly, upon the Kitchen floor
And In the firelight's glow,
Grandmothers step would CO.
On winter evenings long and cold,
With her right hand she turned the wheel
The other held the wool,
While to q merry, humming song
My heart beat fast and full.
And as she spun, her mellow voice
Was ringing clear and sweet,
And in her tread heard the tramp
OF soldiers marching feet,
For she outpoured in measured tones
Great Homers lofty line
That told of mighty Priam's fall
And Helen's face divine.
Or she would quote from Pollok's lay
How Byron's lonely soul
Was brother to the rocks and storms
And oceans wintry roll;
Or yet Of Hohenlinden's field
Or drums that beat at night,
And how the pure, untrodden snow
Grew crimson with the fight,
TIL, listening, enraptured grew
An aspen to her voice,
And chilled OF glowed as she essayed
The poem of her choice.
All. those were days Of wonderment,
OF youthful hope and fire,
When all the 1rbers Of my soul
Were tense as Sappho's Tyre.
Oh. this, all this. was years ago,
When was but boy,
Yet often now my pulses leap
With that remembered Joy;
Again ! see, again / hear
Grandmother at her wheel,
And to her magic numbers thrill
And all her powers feel
Her rhythmic voice.. her kindling eye.
Arouse me here tonight,
And her sweet face In halo shines
And fills me with delight.
For me she lives, although the years
Are piled upon her tomb,
And still hear her measured step
In that old kitchen room.
She is part Of me and mine,
And every song ] sing
feel that | should credit her
As rivers do their spring,
And If there be, in time to come.
= Some laurel for my lays,
Oh, place 1t gently where she sleeps,
And give her all tAe praise.

Some very rich free milling rock

The performance of Uucle Dan'l
last Saturday night, was well at

in the title role of Uncle Dan'l,
surpassed his previous reportoir;
while Walter Bunnel as Sandy
a Boston tough, was inimitable.
The balance of the cast were all
good, in fact it was the best anna
teur performance ever produced in

work now on the new scenery, and
as soon as it is complete the same
cast will put on the famous COM

Those who have saw this piece
will need no recon m ndation. 1t
will be staged here just the sama
as in the cities; real saw mill,
live calf, "Rising Sun Rovers,"
and all. The exact date will be
announced later, and from the way
in which the last performance
went off there will be no doubt a
still larger attendance.

Pretty Bold Talk

For some reason or other adj

a spade. If they have any griev-
ances against rival, they usually
talk about it in general terms.
But A. Schilling & Co. Of San
Francisco are coming right out in
the plainest kind of talk. They
say that the teas most largely con-
sumed in the United States ara
adulturated and falsely colored.
One cant very we'll accuse this
firm of Misrepresentation; for they
have the highest possible standing
in the trade, aud what is more,
their statements revert not only
upon teas sold by their rivals, but
upon cheaper tea sold by them-
selves. IL
We guess they will be believed.
