enlisted and served for many years
with these frontier troops, and it was
not long before he was known on the
border as one of the most daring and
desperate Indian fighters on the plains.
In one OF these dangerous cxpedl-
tions Wallace came near losing his ilie.
He was crawling along ledge of rock
by the side of bluff not far from
Austin. There was barely room for
him to walk along the ledge, which
was far above the stream that was
roaring and splashing below him. He
came to a projecting rock and peeped
cautiously around. 1t so happened
that a big Comanche warrior, who had
evidently been watching Wallace,
peeped from the other side of the pro-
lection at the same instant. The faces
of the two enemies, bitter with hatred
and kindled by two pairs of eyes burn
ing with rage, were not six inches
apart. Both men drew their weapons
for battle on that narrow ledge with
no witnesses but the eagles. Wallace
was the quicker OF the two, and just
as the Indians arrow appeared around
the rock the gun of the Texan cracked
in the warriors face and his body
rolled. bounding from ledge to ledge,
into the torrent below, while the les
shrieked requiem.
In September, 1872, when the Mexi-
can General Woll made a dash into
Jexas and surprised and captured San
Antonio, Wallace was serving with the
famous Jack Hayes. This company of
gallant horsemen were first in the
enemy's front and formed a railying
point for the army that almost instant
ly assembled under General Matthew
Caldwell Hayes was ordered to select
a battle-ground and he met the enc
my at Salado. Hero pitched battle
was fought between 300 Texans and
l.ho0 Mexicans, and the enemy were

BIG FOOT" WALLACE.
ADVENTURES OF A REMARK
ABLE AMERICAN CHARACTER.
Recalled by His Death, Which Has just
Been Recorded at Devine, Texas
Fighting Desreradoes and Indians His
Trade for Sixty Years.

'Bigfoot" Wallace is dead. When he
gave up the ghost on his ranch near
Devine the most remarkable man in
Texas had ceased to live. He was 81
years cid.
All the romance Of sixty years OF
Border life was crowded into his ad-
venturous career. At the age of 20 he
left his home at Lexington, Va, and
went to Texas for the express pur-
pose of avenging the death of his
brother, who was captured and slain
by MeXicans in 1886. He was par
ticipant in the remarkable struggles
on the Texas border before the war
with Mexico, and was everywhere
known as fearless fighter and an i'm
placable foe. His name was for more
Texas. In the gloomy dungeons OF
Perote it took seven giant Mexicans to
throw this struggling Texan to the
earth and bind him. After he had
lain fourteen days chained hand and
foot face downward to a rock, without
food Or water, when the thongs were
cut and the rivets forced apart his first
act was to spring at one of his toe
mentors and try to throttle him.
When Wallace arrived in Texas the
var Of independence had about ended,
Santa Anna was a prisoner and it was
believed that permanent peace would
soon be established between Texas and
Mexico. The army had been collected
in the eastern part of the republic
for the purpose of fighting the Mexi-
cans, and as consequence the frontier
| was very poorly protected. The Co
manches and other hostile tribes tool
advantage of this condition of affairs
and raided the settlements at theil
pleasure 1t was not long, however
before the commander of the army
who was no less important character
than Albert Sidney Johnston-coult
spare force to meet these red devils
and punish their audacity with swort
and fire. Big Foot Wallace at onc'

Funeral Customs in Switzerland.

Swiss funeral customs are most Pc
culiar. At the death of a person the
family inserts a black-edged announce
ment in the papers asking for sym
pathy and STANG that 1.-The mourning
urn" will be exhibited within certain
hours on a special day. In front Of
the house where the person died there
is placed a little black table, covered
with a little black cloth, on which
stands a black jar. Into this the
friends and acquaintance of the fam
lily drop little black-margined visiting
cards, sometimes with few words Of
sympathy on them. The urn is put on
the table on the day Of the funeral
Only men ever go to the churchyard,
and they generally follow the hearse

slaughter. This was one OF the great
est victories ea,r won by the army o.
Texas, and the republic was indebted
to the individual bravery Of the rank
and file for all the glory Of that memo
rable day. Big Foot Wallace was every
where, sometimes firing musket and
at others slashing the enemy with a
great bowie knife. The example OF
his valor among the whistling bullets
was worth whole regiment. After
the great victory Colonel Jack Hayes
put his hand on Wallace's shoulder
and said: Here's a soldier whom
Napoleon would have made marshal
of France
General Woll instantly commenced
hurried retreat towards Mexico
while the Texans hung on his rear
and gave him no time to rest. En-
barking in boats, they tl9ated down
the Rio Grande to the Mexican town

of Micr. The alcalde surrendered the
town and the Texans retired to their
camp to await supply of provisions
which the alcalde had promised to col
lect. On December rs the Texans dis
covered that General Ampudia, at the
head of an army of 1000 men, was in
possession of Mier. They at once pre-
pared to give him battle. "Big-foot
Wallace said this was the hardest
fought battle that he ever witnessed.
BY a clever ruse the Texans were
persuaded to surrender. The prisoners
were at once started on long march
towards the dungeons of Perote, where
they knew they would be tortured tc

A CHlNAMA ANS FATE.

In San Francisco, Cal, there's CHI
are as strict and unchanging as those
Of the Medes and Persians. San To,
one Of the members of this society,
told some of its secrets-an offense
punishable by death. He was to be
tried in the usual way before tribu-
nal of the society.
The night of the ordeal was fixed.
The culprit was represented by able
counsel, but the sentence was death
as was expected. An executioner was
called from an adjoining room. He
was a .trapping big Chinaman, and
wore one of those hideous wooden
masks that art critics think so beauti-
full. He carried a douhle-edged sword
fully five feet long. To test the edge
he folded a newspaper in eight parts,
and the knife went through these eight
thicknesses Of paper as if it were a
bit CT butter in summer time.
The culprit was put upon his knees,
and another Chinaman, also on his
knees, faced him and caught the trail
tor by the cue. He drew the culprit s
neck toward him. the smock was pulled
over the shoulders, and with one
mighty swing the double-edged sword
descended. Like flash it Glove the
air and then-stopped. A fractional
part of an inch separated the sword
from the victims neck. Very, very
gently the eXecutioner brought the
traitors neck; then, as it is a crime

Advice About the Ewes.

A clever woman who knows what
she is talking about has this to say on
the subject of eyes: Never rub your
eyes, nor allow your children to do so
from their infancy. Wells are bad for
the sight, especially those spotted or
covered with a pattern. So eschew
wells when you can, or wear the soft
est. clearest net when obliged to do
so. Never read in bed or when lying
on the sofa. Sit with your back to
the light when engaged in reading or
working Pale blues or greens are the
most restful wall papers for the eyes,
whereas red is exceedingly fatiguing.
Do not read, write or work longer than
two hours together without resting
your eyes and closing them fully five
minutes. Be most careful to live in q
dry house on dry soil. Attend to the
digestion for did not Milton declare
his blindness to proceed from the eff
fects of dyspepsia? If the eyes be
weak bathe them in a basin of soft
water, to which a pinch of table salt
and a desertspoonful of brandy have
been added.

1t is recalled that Gen. Miles Is not

martial for having said at a public
table that he never saw but two trait

that Gen. Wilkinson was a liar and a
scoundrel. He was found guilty, and
was suspended for a year, notwith
