ST. LOUIS, n @, Sept. 2.-Though
farmer and part OF my life spent
in isolation from the affects of dis
eliminating laws l yet know some
thing from my own observation from
the past. l have seen that NAM
moth height known as Drury's Bluff,
and that great gun planted there
and known as old "whistling Dick
which commanded the thoroughfare
leading into that once ill-fated city
of Richmond; and an eye witness
when she belched forth her missiles
of death, rendering the air with a
deep, laundering sound, causing the
very earth to quake and tremble.
The word was sent up along the
lines on both sides "lie down little
ones" Ali other guns stood awed
and apparently silent.
Little did l think that the little
old Alliance gun in the hands o1
and commanded by the Peoples Par
ty, loaded to the muzzle with true
Democracy and Republicanism, such
as was represented by Jefferson
jackson and Lincoln, fortified with
truth and justice, resting upon th'
eternal basis of personal liberty
"equal rights to all and special priv
ileges to none," would, at this mos
critical political period in the histor.
of American politics, belch forth it
missiles of destruction to all part,

Of the country predicts that the ma
tional Democratic convention will
split and the silverites will nomi-
nate ticket which will be support

ment generally. If that prediction
should prove correct, we do not be-
ieve that anyone can prophecy the

elect their ticket. There IS many a
slip between the cup and the lip.
The conditions, upon their face, are
plainly in favor of Republican sue.

change results. The silver men are
determined, even to the extent of
leaving any party that may oppose
them. The pockctboek is ruling with
most men. None Of the Republican
politicians are advising lis that they
mean to make money moro plenty.
None of them are telling us that the
debtor who contracted his debt OH a
paper and silver basis shall be as.
sured that he can pay his debt in the
same kind Of currency on whose bas
IS he originally contracted it. The
people want TO know where they are
at. The farmer wants to know if he
must continue to have his potatoes
retallcd at 10 cents per bushel and his
oats, corn, wheat and other products
at proportionate price. The people
want definite answers to the question
as to whether the masses are III hone.

ton to robbing stages and killing mln-
ers, Bouton's gang "did large business
in horses. The organization at one
time numbered many hundreds OF men,
and its field extended from the Missis-
sippi to the Pacific and from the plains
Of British Columbia to the plateaus OF
old Mexico
The horse thieves were held together
by awful oaths of fidelity and still more
awful penalties for treason. Their
camps were lodges, and one OF their
members could recognize q "pard" or
make himself known wherever he went
But the great bond that held them to-
gether was mutual protection for indi-
vidual gain. So perfect was this organ
ization-and, no doubt, some OF its
branches still exist-that horses could
be run through from Texas and sold in
Colorado or be taken from Montana to
Missouri without detection and with
the certainty Of finding market.
Bouton gave the prisoners into Font
Robb's charge, enjoining him to guard
chem as he valued his life, and then
turned to talk to the new arrivals His

Lons Fiishts Of Birds.

The distance which birds travel is
marvellous, the naturalists say, and lay
men are inclined to believe them. w.
Herbert Purvis writes to the London
Field that every spring great numbers
of golden and ringed plover arrive in
the Hawaiian Islands and leave the first
week Of May.
The nearest points Of the American
coast to which they go are in southern
California and the Alaska peninsula
respectively, about 2,oO0 geographical
miles, and there Is no intervening land
It may be that the birds drop into the
water to rest occasionally, as ducks do,
during such long flights, but it is not
probable. This is the longest regular
fight known Of shore birds over water,
but 1t is known pretty certainly that
some sea birds fly as regular thing
much farther than this during their
migrations. The brant geese, for in
stance, are said to nest in Siberia and
to fly north over the Arctic ocean and
south again to Cape Hatteras, or there
about and beyond, every year.

to avert the blow from my family" re-
piled Alice.
They had been talking for nearly two
hours, when Bouton, happening to pass
near where they were, ordered Louis
Kyle to be moved to another place.
IT do this" said Bouton to the
young ladies, "in order to appease the
feelings Of my men. They say: we
don't want Louis Kyle, who has been
fighting against us, to have q picnic
with the ladies' Wewant to teach him
manners. Of course they won't hurt
him If can help 1t, but I must say
they are hard crowd to manage I'll
do the best can"
Louis rose to accompany him, but
Nora threw her arms about him and
cried out:
"Oh, do not take my brother from
mel Do not part us We have done you
no wrong"
"Hush, sister," said Louis "These
towards know we have done them no
harm. Your prayers cannot change
them Be brave and defy them, for our
friends live and they will demand an
eye for an eye and a tooth for tooth. "
He caught his sister to his breast
then he took Alice's hands in his No
word passed between them. For few
seconds they stood looking into each
others eyes, and each saw there the
trust and faith and love and hope that
would never die, for it was Of the kind
that is older than time and as enduring
as eternity.
After conducting Louis Kyle to an:
other part Of the camp, Bouton went
over and talked to Patch. In order that
their conversation might not be heard,
he led the renegade to one side. They
had been there but a minute or two
when shot rang out and the degraded
Patch wheeled as If on pivot and fell
dead at Bouton' feet
Bouton felt that the shot was intend
ed for himself and that another would
follow with deadly effect 30 he turned
and ran, and as he ran he glanced back,
and away on the hills he saw Henry
Kyle and beside him the slender form
Of an Indian girl
Reaching his companions he ordered
them to arm and scout the surrounding
hills Nearly 80 men, all ON foot obey
ed his order, and soon the sound Of fir
ing was heard on the hills and more
than one wounded man came hmping
back to camp.
1t was after dark when Fairplay and
Font Robb returned, and they brought
the gratifying news that they had driv-
en- Captain Brandon from the hills
"And it cost us DEAR" said Fairplay
"mighty dear. Cause" " continued the
bearded outlaw, "we've lost more men
than Brandon had In his outfit"

s~ A little anecdote about Sarah
Bernhardt may throw some light on
the matter of stage kissing, or at least
demonstrate that there are kisses and
kisses on the stage as well as of. This
emotional actress was recently perform
ing in new play, and at the close of
the last act she had to rush upon the
stage, kneel down by her dead lover,
who had been shot by the villain, and
passionately kiss his forehead. 1t is
said that French noblemen, poets, au-
thors, and artists wrote to her, offer
ing to serve as the corpse and she,
not wishing to offend any one had
fresh person every night. The news
of the scheme got abroad, to the vast
advantage of the box Office.

THE EMBLEM OF PURITY.

The custom of wearing orange bios
SONS in the hair by bride upon her
wedding day is in France a matter OF
much pride and Importance, inasmuch
as it is testimonial of purity, not only
of the bride herself, but of the integri-
ty and morality in the character of her
relatives. In the province of Franche
Comte its adornment is considered q
sacred right, obtained by rectitude OF
character, and as such proudly main
tained. Should any act ofimprudence
in early life, implying even suspicion
of taint upon the chastity of the
maiden be known, the use of the or
ange blossom is sternly forbidden; in
deed, should the female attempt to
wear it on the day of her marriage, she
would be encountered at the church
door by the village lads, violently
seized, and the emblem of purity de-
gradingly torn from her hair; nor
would the ceremony be allowed to
proceed until all trace of the flower
thus profaned had disappeared from
her person. In almost every village
or small town in France the bride en-
titled to wear the crown of orange
blossoms has this beautiful certificate
of her purity either framed or placed
under glass shade !; and it is religious
|ly preserved, if possible, even through
generations, as an indisputable testi-
monial of undoubted morality. The
mother of q natural child never dares
assume, not only the orange blossom
crown, but even the white dress and
vail, upon her wedding day, these ha.
biliments being considered to belong
only to the pure. Should an attempt
be made, the most bitter ridicule, the
most unmerciful sarcasms would &C.
company her and her unfortunate hus'
band to the altar.
