MURDER IN TIE AIR.
A Terrible Experience Among Blood
Thirsty and MerciIess Natives.

Terrible Experience Among BI0Od.
Thirsty and MerciIess Natives.
During the recent Mashona uprising
it was reported in England that w. L
Brand,a young prospectOr, had been muir
dered by the natives. He afterward ca
bled from Fort Salisbury that he was
safe. In letter to his parents, who lived
at the Instow, in North Devon, he mar
rates his experiences. Among other
things he writes:
Groves and myself started from Lo
MagunW on June 10, two days before
the war broke out, with seven boys,
two Mashonas and five Zembezis. met
two policemen on the road, As miles
from town; next morning both were
murdered. i reached the store on the
18th and met Groves there. We left the
store next morning and started for
Angwe, 30 miles off. As we passed
along we thoaght there was something
suspicious, as the niggers all had guns
and We're hiding in the long grass.
went up 20 1raal and asked for my
things which had left there five
months ago, but they refused to give
them up, so l cleared.
1--WE finished our work at Angwe and
came back. When we got to the store
we,saw four men who had been brutaliy
murdered, evidently by battle axes.
They were lying ON their stomachs,
and had been dragged out OF the, store
into the veldt. They were blown out
to tremendous size, and when we
turned them over their faces were eaten
away. We walked to Jameson's camp
TO see if we could find any more bodies.
'"Then we walked on to Ayres farm,
rs miles. where we thought we should
be safe, but had to shoot both nv
Maehonas for safety, and lucky for me |
that j did. We arrived at Ayres at seven |
a. m, where we thought we were going
TO have good breakfast, as we had had
nothing to eat for two days. I rushed
up to the huts like mad. and just as | |
reached the first the brutes Jumped up
aN round us, with battle axes and knob
Rerries, and yelled. They fired about
20 shots at us before we cleared. An
the boys were shot, and then thew
chased us. One gave me blow on the
back with a battle ak, but cut only
through my coat. We shot six and ran
across n place like the Burrows, bullets
tearing up the ground all around us,
but fortunately never hit us. One
bullet went through my hat. which was
not pleasant At last we got away.
There must have been 300 or 400 of the
brutes. We got into wood and lodged
and then my legs gave way, and could
go no further.

ASKING HER FATHER,
One Young Sui,or's Way Of Gaining
the Paternal Consent


One Young Suitor's Way Of Gaining
the Paternal Consent.
The older man was the father Of Tho
woman in the case; the younger was
the man who wanted to marry her.
The younger was the average young
man seeking a wife-no better, nc
worse.
Why the father did not want him
as his son-in-law must be answered
by other fathers who have felt as this
one did. Perhaps there is no answer
So, when the younger man came, the
older was prepared to meet him as
one who was by no means first in
his estimation. The younger man
was aware of the older's feeling, but
quite disregarded it.
Perhaps it is the only successful
method of treatment under the cir
cumstances.
That the young man was conceited
goes without saying, but he was not
an isolated example, as anyone may
know who knows young men.
"Well?" greeted the father, when
the sutton appeared in his presence.
81 fancy you know, sir, why | am
here" responded the caller GAS you
may be aware, it is to ask your con-
sent to the marriage Of your daugh-
ter to me-"
"Well?" said the father, with an
infection which did not bode well.
81 understand that you do not look
favorably upon me as the husband of
your daughter, and l want to assure
you that am not here on my own
behalf, but upon hers"
"Sir?" exclaimed the father, half
rising.
"On hers, sir, l said," the amazing
young man went on. "She loves me,
and to lose me would break her heart.
l love her, but not as she loves me.
You know one must love more strong
ly than the other, and it is her mis-
fortune to be the stronger in this
instance. Neither of us is to blame.
If / had loved her as she loves me,
my love would have made me afraid
to risk my hopes by asking your con-
sent AS it is, | come to you in con-
fidence, believing that you love your
daughter so much better than you do
me that you will sacrifice your own
feelings and wishes in the matter"
BY this time the father was in
dignant and violent.
"You are the most conceited ass
4 ever heard talk" he said, "and if
you are not out of here in two minutes
you will be kicked out"
"All of which may be as you say,"|
replied the suitor; "but / am tell
ing you the plain truth. If you will
kindly refer the matter to your daugh-
ter, you will greatly oblige her."
As the father rose from his chair
the young man walked out
The next day he called on the
young man.
81 have not changed my opinion
concerning you since yesterday" he
said, herpleasantly than otherwise,
"and l am sorry for the girl, but !
withdraw my opposition. L suppose
she's that way because she's a wom-
an"
81 wouldn't be surprised" replied
the young man. "Good morning.
Much obliged"
And so they were married, and lived
happily, too, to the end of their days
he never regretting, for she was rich
md beautiful, and she always happy.

TAUGHT HER A LESSON.
After That the Key Probably Found a
New Hiding Place.

The other day very estimable lady
came to town to do a little shopping
of course the key was put under the
doormat so that her son could get
in In her absence tramp, who had
been hanging around the place num-
Der of days and had caught on, boldly
went into the house, got some of the
choicest viands out of the pantry, put
them on the table and pitched in.
He also found a bottle of wine that
revived his spirits. He did not ex-
peet anyone there for a number of
hours, and'so he took it easy.
In the meantime the lady of the
house, having finished her shopping,
returned home, and seeing the front
door unlocked, expected to find her
son inside. Imagine her horror when |
she opened the dining-room door and |
saw sitting at her table the rustiest-
looking tramp that ever We'd with |
his companions in accommodating dirt |
on his epidermis. The lady was
dumbfounded. In the silence that
followed the tramp coolly remarked:
Madam, l shall become scarce now,
ez P1e eaten enuff. All kin give
yer back fer this good meal and wat
| want ter say ter yer is that yer ought
to find new hidin' place fer yer key.
| won't charge yer nothin' for this
advice" With that the tramp de-
oarted.-Atlanta Constitution.

In the last day it will be found that
Hugh Latimer. and John Knox, and
Huss, and Ridley were not the greatest
martyrs, but Christian men. who went
up incOrrupt from the COMMUNICATIONS
and perplexities of Pennsylvania ave-
nue., Broad street, State street and
Third street On earth they were
called brokers, or stock jobbers. or re-
tailers or importers; but in Heaven,
Christian heroes No faggots were
heaped about their feet; no inquisition
demanded from them recantation; no
soldier aimed a pike at their heart;
but they had mental tortures, COM
pared with which all physical consum-
ing is as the breath of spring morn

/ find in the community large class
of men who have been so cheated, so
lied about. so Outrageously wronged,
that they have lost their faith in every
thing. In a world where everything
seems so topsy-turvey, they do not see

COMPOUNDED, and frenZied. and misan-
thropic. Elaborate arguments to prove
TO them the truth of Christianity, or
the truth of anything else touch them
nowhere. Hear me, all such men.
preach to you no rounded periods,
no ornamental discourse; but put my
hand on your shoulder, and invite you
into the peace of the gospel. Here is
a rock on which you may stand
firm, though the waves dash against
it harder than the Atlantic, pitching
its surf clear above Eddystone light
house. Do not charge upon God all
these troubles of the world. As long
as the world stuck to God, God stuck
to the world; but the earth seeded
from His government, and hence all
these outrages and all these woes.
God is good For many hundreds of
years He has been coaxing the world
to come back to Him; but the more He
has cOaxed, the more violent have men
been in their resistance, and they have
stepped back, and stepped back until
they have dropped into ruin.
Try this God, We who have had the
bloodhounds after you, and who have
thought that God had forgotten you.
Try Him, and see if He will not help.
Try Him, and see if He will not par
don. Try Him, and see if He will not
save. The flowers of spring have no
bloom so sweet as the Towering of
Christ's affections. The sun hath no
warmth compared with the glow of
His heart. The waters have no re-
freshment like the fountain that will
Stake the thirst of thy soul.
