California RedwOOds.

A new venture has been tried in the
shipping of California redwood to
England. Two British ships have
lately started on their homeward yoy-
age carrying cargoes of redwood.
This wood, which is used universally
and recklessly here in general build
ing, has in England attracted the at
tention of decorators and architects
It's rich reddish tint renders it adapt
able to interior decorations, panelling,
and wainscoting. The two ships just
started are taking their cargoes on
speculation. This is another menace
to the redwood forests, which, as it is,
are rapidly disappearing. Those in
terested in the preservation of the
Golden States beauty have unsuccess-
fully tried to stop the Wholesale dem
clifton of these famous forests-the
wonder and beauty of California.
Save in the few cases where the red
woods have gained the giant growth of
"Big Trees" no attempt has been
made to preseve them. As they only
grow in the foldings Of the Sierra, the
time is not far distant when the
canyons will be swept bare Of them,
and California Will wake to the realiz-
alton of the vandalism that has
robbed it Of its greatest scenic charm.

Fleet of Foot

Captain II. L. Scott, Of the famous
Seventh United States cavalry, re-
lates some marvellous tales Of the
powers Of endurance and Geetuess Of
foot Of the members OF L troop Of
bis regiment, which is composed Of
Chiricahua Apache indians from Arr
zonia, 10 a Sioux Falls Argus reporter.
He relates that on Que occasion a full
grown and able-bodied deer ran
through the cavalry camp and in
stantly with a series Of wild yells tho
Indians gave pursuit on foot, and by
exceeding swiftness aud skill they
actually ran it down, caught it about
nine miles from camp, and brought it
in unframed.
On one occasion nine Of them we're
returning TO camp, after full day of
hard work, riding upon q government
wagon drawn by q mule team. A
coyote was seen close by the trail,
pursuing a young calf. Instantly the
fatigues of the days labor were for
gotten, the dusky driver, in his wild
enthuoiasm, even forgetting the team,
and the whole gave chase, and after
wild yelling, scrambling chase Of two
hours, the wolf was captured, tied,
gagged and packed into camp. The
mules had meantime quietly and de-
corously wendell their way to camp.
This seems strange to the average
pale-iace, and the Sioux look upon
these wonderful feats as something
approaching the supernatural; this,
in short, indicates the difference which
different methods OF life, pursued
through generations, makes in people
Ct the same general race. The pale
face would fall by the wayside' in a
mile, the Sioux would shrug his
shoulders, grunt and lie down, or
would fly to his trusty pony, on which
he will do more work probably than
any other man living, without regard
to the character of his mount

TIE f: RESCUE.
By VICTOR LEaARE.

- -. --yssye-e~--(
Alb, monsieur Il Vas brave rescue. 4
Ny old grandpere told me the tale
many times in the evenings long ago
as we sat before the cottage door and
watched the shadows fall across the
bayou. Maybe you have heard of that
terrible time-I mean the time of the
rescue. 1t was in France, in Paris.
One Monsieur Robespierre was king
at that time, and not exactly king
either, my grandpere said, but the
same as king, for he cut off peoples
heads when he wished to, and he
wished to a great deal.
There were trials in the courts every
day, trials of men and trials of women.
And every day heads olmen and heads
of women were falling from their
necks. If any man had some poney,
peste his head must come of, for the
rich were tyrants and tyrants must
die. And if anyone thought to whisper
anything IN secret his head, too, must
fall, for it was not the day of the
Commune? And what right had a man
to withhold anything he knew from
the citizens? Exclusiveuess was aris-
tocratic and aristocracy must die. No,
no, good citizen, tell all you know
and what you do not know imagine.
Now it SO happened that in the Rue
de la---there lived q young girl
whom nobody knew and who would
allow no one to know her, that is, no
one whom anybody else knew or who
seemed to know anybody else. But
on several occasions persons whom
the citizens OF the Rue de Ia did
not know we're seen entering the
house where the girl lived with an
old woman who now and then APP
peared at the door. And one day the
old woman had been heard to call the
young woman "Mademolselle Clar
isse. Mademoisellel Think Of it

days of'the Commune when men were

It is curious to note how many Eu-
ropean sovereigns are without direct
heirs In the various states Of Ger
many, as also in Belgium, the Salic
law prevails, and women are barred
from the succession, Thus the crown
Of the King of Wurtemburg, a Prot
estant, will pass to a young cousin OF
his. who is a Catholic. The Grand
Duke of Oldenburg has no grandson
to succeed him, and the Grand Duchy
must therefore eventually go to the
distant Russian branch of the family.
The King and Queen of Saxony are
childless. In Austria, the Emperor
having lost his only son, the crown
will pass to his brother and to his
nephew. In Holland there is only
the delicate life of the young Queen
in the way Of the inheritance of the
kingdom by foreign branch Of the
house. The Grand Duke Of Hesse
hos nothing but daughter. The
Grand Duke Of Baden's only son is dy-
ing Of consumption and is childless
The line ofLippe Detmoldt will die Gus
with the present Prince Alexander,
who is insane. The King of Romania
has no son, but only q nephew to sue
coed to his honors. The crazy King
OF Bavaria, being unmarried, will be
succeeded by his uncle, now the prince
regent, while King Alexander Of Servia
enjoys the unique distinction of hav-
ing no heir at all, since he is without
a single living relative qualified to {
sufficient degree of kinmanship to sue
coed to his crown, his father, tht
reprobate ex-King Milan, being q
course out Of the question.
