Crisis Last "Casta Diva" !"

Nine Grisi made sad mistakes in her
declining years. Unlike Jenny Lind,
she never knew when to leave off. She
retired, but found life insupportablc.
The fact is. unlike Mario, she was quite
an empty headed person, with 10 pur
suits Or Interests apart frCm the stage
or any power Of occupying herself.
Grisi came back to the concert room
when far too lame to attempt the stage.
I heard her sing at the Crystal Palace
somewhere in the sixties. She was born
in 1912 and died in 1869. She impru-
IDENTIFY tried "Casta Diva" her great
song in Norma, but reached her high
notes with painful effort The old
men who fiocked to h2"r her and re-
membered her triumphs in the thirties
and forties sat crying like children.
They fancied they still heard the god
dess of the stage when Rubini, Taglia-
fico, Mario and Lablachc had lifted the
italian school under Rossinl, Bellini,
Donizetti and Verdi to the highest
pitch of Intoxicating popularity, but to
my taste poor Grisi "Casta Diva" was
a piteous exhibition. n.-Contemporary

The Yoan. England Party.

Largely under Disraeli's inspiration
the Young England party was formed.
He was on terms OF close friendship
with its leading members, who were
young men of the highest rank and dis
tinction. 1t was at taeir wish, not less
than in pursuance of his own impulse,
that Distraeli gave literary expression
to their common views and aspirations
in the trilosy Of political romances, of
which, though "Tancred" is said to
have been the most highly esteemed by
the author, the teaching of "Ccningsby"
and "Sybil" is by f2r the more direct
and impressive Its rurport has already
been indicated. Il was to recall the
English aristocracy to q realization of
the true splcndor OF :hcir position and
the immcnsity Of thcir responsibilities.
It was to imbue them with passion of
pity for the wrctchcGncss and degrada-
ton in which mulsitudes Of their fellow
countrymcn were riurgcd and to con-
vince them that their power, as the
natural leaders Of the people, to discover
and apply remedies for the prevailing
evils had not been lost, had not indeed
been essentially impaired, either by
the reform bill or ~ the circumstances
Of its ultimate passage into law
It would be quite inaccurate to say
that these Books skctched out policy.
They endeavored to create, or rather to
revive, a temper. And they conveyed
the confident belief that if that temper
were revived and took worthy manifes-
tations in the lives of the aristocracy it
would awaken grateful recognition and
secure all needful forms Of practical
support on the part of the masses of the
ople.-Quarterly Review.

minded those VINO saw MIN rlde OF the
tabled Centaur. He rode far forward
and bent over, so that he and his horse
appeared to be one animal. No horse,
however rugged, wild and woolly, had
ever been able to unseat him. This Az
tee had been to the little brandy runlet
too often and had filed and emptied his
tin cup with surreptitious intoxicants,
so that his usual excellent Judgment
went awry. When be succeeded in get
ting mounted, after having fumbled
with his bride good deal. he was far
in tho rear, and the stampede had gone
past him, so that when he overlook the
rear end he passed to the front on the
other side and rode on the wrong flank.
"When he reached the head of the
herd, he was just in time to defeat the
maneuver, then under execution, of bend
ing the moving mass from straight
line to semicircle. Revolver in hand,
disregarding the other men, he began
shooting in the faces of the wild steers,
and the effect Of this was to straighten
the run and bring the advance straight
toward precipice. This precipice was
q wash in the prairie, forming deep
ravine fully so yards wide, and in a
shorter time than it takes to tell Of this
contretemps the head Of the column was
pouring over, horrible cascade of beef,
plunging madly into destruction while
fleeing from an imaginary danger.
"When Mr.. Wilson and his lieutenants
saw that it was impossible to save their
cattle, they saved themselves by dexter
ously turning at right angles at full
speed and riding out Of the way. They
next returned to the flank and held
council Of war. A few seconds decided
them, and all hands commenced shoot
ing into the herd, the object now being
to build DreastWoTk Of carcasses and
save the rear end from the destruction
that had o7ertaken the front. The gull
ly was nearly full Of cattle by this
time They were snorting and below
ing, crashing and tearing, and still
heaping up, and when the firing began
the wounded ones tumbled over on the
others, and in short time the gully,
like the sunken road at Waterloo, was
bridged by carcasses- The herd surged
up in pillows, like an ocean, and bent
now because it could not do otherwise.
The semicircle was formed, and Will
son and his men crossed the gully be-
low and rode around the opposite side
and recrossed, and in short time they
had the cattle halted, forming an ill.,
complete letter O, and there they stood,
blowing, believing, shivering AL
hands remained on watch all night, and
IN the morning, when count was made,
1t was asceStained that 2, 700 head were
missing. There were afterward 2,700
pairs Of horns taken from that gully.
It was called Stampede gully for many
years afterward, and perhaps will al

, STAMPEDE GULLY.
HOW A WELL KNOWN RAVINE IN
TEXAS GOT ITS NAME.

Herd OF $4,000 Cattle ssampeded at
Night, and Before They Were Stopped
1900 OF Them Were Killed-Costly
BIuuder Made by Mexican Cowboy.
One of the most desperate stampedes
of cattle ever witnessed by Texas COW
boy, says Rev. J. B. Cranfll of Waco,
! Tex, occurred in 1876 on the prairie in
the center of which now stands the
town Of McGregor. Fifteen thousand
cattle and 25 cowboys participated in
the exciting event Mr.. CraAfll was not
participant, but he tells the story as
he got it from an eyewitness in The
independent Late in the afternoon of
July there had been a lively thunder
stofm that made the cattle nervous. At
10 O'Clock at night, however, they
seemed to be sleeping profoundly. Then
the narrative proceeds as follows:
"The stars were all shining and
there was no cause at all for the arous-
ing Of the herd. They appeared to get
up all at once, with a single purpose,
and the roar that was heard seemed to
come from single throat. The Wilson
brothers and their cowboys who were
sleeping in their camp rushed to their
ponies, who were grazing with the SAD
dies and brides on, and as fast as the
! bits could be replaced in their mouths
they mounted and galloped to the danks
Of the now disappearing mass headed
in the direction of the Brazos river. "
The usual course on such occasions is
to get in front of the herd-a risky
piece Of work-and start it to running
in circle. This attempt was made in
this case.
"Some cattle can outrun others, and
in this case there was a bunch Of about
90 fully 20 yards in advance, and to-
ward this leading group the two rescu-
ers rode. Of the leading group, also,
some were faster than others, aud this
group ran in diamond shape, with two
immense steers leading all. When Mr..
Wilson and his companion reached the
tvo leading steers, they began shooting
their revolvers close to them, and in
that way the bunch was made to oblique,
and as the leading bunch Of cattle
obliQued the main stampede obliqued,
and the first step in milling had been
taken. By this time the cattle were get
ting tired. Nearly five miles had been
covered, and the breath Of the leaders
was coming short and painfully, but
they were rushing on because the front
cattle at this time knew as matter Of
fact their only safety was in keeping up
the run. Those behind were coming,
and they were in the majority, and the
leaders were compelled to run. There
was real danger for the forward mem
bers Of the stampede.
"In the invoice of articles contained
in the regulation outfit there is always
some kind Of stimulants, and but for
the stimulants contained in Mr.. Will
sons outfit it is possible that the stam-
pede wonId have been halted without
disaster. He had Mexican along, one
Of the best cowboys in the southwest.
This Mexican and his horse ALWAYS re-

Record of the Clubs.
A LONG BASE BALL CAREER.
Fourteen Years Arthur Irwin Has
Been on the Diamond.


Been on the Diamond.
Mr.. Arthur A. Irwin, who resumes the
management Of the Washington base ball
club after break of six years, has been in
base ball for fourteen years. and Is still
young man. In 1884 he played shortstop
on the champion nine of Providence. his
associates being players who afterward
played here-Gilligan, Start, Farrell, Car
roll, Hines and Radford. Then he went to
Philadelphia, where h3 maintained his rep
utation as an able and intelligent fielder
second only to John Ward. In 1889 he came
to this city and covered short for the Sena-
tors when they were playing on the North
Capitol street grounds. The Players
League strike Of 1890 broke up that excel
lent team. and Irwin went to Boston. where
he played short on the champion players
league team in that city. The following
year, 1891. he was manager of the very
strong team that represented Boston in the
American Association, and won the cham
deck. Burlington, Daley. Griffith and
O'Brien as pitchers; Murphy, Farrell and
Mike Kelly as catchers; Brouthers, Strick-
er. Joyce and Radford, infelders, and Har-
dy Richardson, Tom Brown and Duffy, out
f1elders. What a team!
Barnie had engaged the Washington team
in 1892, and began the season as it's mana
ger, but he was soon succeeded by Irwin.
The team finished the first half of the dou-
BILE season in seventh place, but a weakness
in the infield that was not rem edied caused
the team to drop into last place. where it
rested when Irwin left, and Dan Richard
son, the captain, was put in charge. Mr..
Irwin was given the management of the
Philadelphia team, succ eeding the late Har-
ry Wright, but not doing very well with
the Phillies, subsequently he took charge
of the Toronto club, where he was very
successful

six and Baltimore five. OF the last eight
games played Baltimore has won but two.
The first three games were easy for the
Orioles. OF the last eight games Wash
ington won four by a margin of one run
in each. and one by two runs. On the
other hand, the Orioles have generally
won, when they did win. by big scores,
such as 16 to o. to o. 10 to 3. 3 to 3, etc.
In the eleven games Baltimore has made
6S runs. exactly twice as many as Wash
ington made, and yet the Senators have
won the majority of the games.
The figures show that the Baltimore
pitchers were not to blame for the loss
of those six games. as they held down
their opponents to just a trife over three
runs to a game. The Senators have play
ed excellent ball against Baltimore, a
rule, but they have won most of their
games through the overconfidence of the
Orioles, and consequent carelessness and
lack of ginger.
