NORTHERN TRIBUNE. SATURDAY. AUGUST 4, 1877. A NARROW ESCAPE. Offo aveninsr. late in the fall of 18. T was rented in my rude quarters at the B. post, in Paraguay, reviewing me events of the past few years of my life, as pre sented in a memorandum book before me, when a knock at the door caused me to close up my book and invite the person seeking entrance 10 cumc m. For two years I had been surgeon-gen era I of that portion of the army of Buen Ayres which was stationed at B., und the command ot ben. Juan ernido, in connection with which office I was pri vate physician of the commander him self, who, at the time I speak of, was suf fering from a severe attack of fever. Tiie insurgent army, headed by a law less desperado calling himself Sandsivo, had taken advantage of the sickness of Fernido, and annoyed our army by fre quently shooting the scouts and making attacks upon the weaker portion of the camp. The encampment of the rebels was sup posed to be about five miles north of us. and divided iuto small parties. I waa rather surprised when, as the door opened, a figure, closely muffled in a long cloak, entered the room. His whole bearing and dress showed that he had come on some mysterious business; and, as I caught a gleam in one of his eyes which indicated uneasy restlessness, I looked sharply at him, vainly attempt ing to pierce his disguise. Removing his hat, and exposing to my view a well-featured and apparently hon est face, he returned to the door, locked it auickly, and, returning to the place where I sat, seated himself directly oppo site me, placing, as he did so, a small leathern bag upon the table. 1 looked at him with mystified air, not altogether devoid of suspicion. kYou need not be alarmed," he said. smilingly, as if he read my thoughts. slmnly closed the door and locked it to Drevent interruption." 4You have something of importance to communicate to me?" I asked, looking curiously at the little bag. "No. a small matter. That bag con tains a few ounces of gold your fee, if vou will favor me with your advice and assistance for a few hours. I had the misfortune to let a small globule of lead -drop into a tiiend's body, and wish it re moved. Accidents are unavoidable, you know, senor, and a man must resent an insult. "A duel ?" I inquired. He smiled affirmatively. 'And where does this friend of yours live, senor?" Four miles to the north," he replied. So near the rebel camp !" You need have no fear on that score, doctor. Whe wounded man has been re moved to a hense near by, and you are safe in your professional capacity. Will you accompany me ?" I replied by going to my little surgery in the next room, and returning with my case of surgical instruments. "A guide and two mules await us out side the camp," he said, as we left the room and passed the sentinels. We jogged on at a rapid pace, my com panion managing to fall behind me.while the guide led the way. Little or no con versation was carried on, the stranger seeming to have lost his vivacity of man ner. Suddenly, as he turned a sharp rock, beyond which point the broad spreading llano stretched, my eyes were dazzled by an unexpected burst of light. Not ten feet before me lay the rebel encampment. So sudden wa3 the dis covery, that I sat on my mule dumb founded. The stringer placed his hand on my shoulder, and said : -You understand the affair now, senor f1 -Yes," I reioined, stung by the tone in which he spoke, and roused from my stunor bv the anger I felt at being thus pvsilv led into the lion's den. "You have brought me here under false pretenses. I regarded you as a man of honor." All means are fair in love and war. von know, doctor;" and, with a light laugh, he dismounted and led my mule nearer the camp. Around the camp fire were stretched perhaos fifty or seventy-five men, who withdrew to a short distance at a sign from a man who wore the officer's garb of the insurgents, and who came forward as I dismounted, and extended his hand. -Welcome, doctor, 1 hope you will par don the motive which leads us to cause you the trouble of a journey over yonder rugged hills, but I wished to see you on government business ;" and he led the way to the fire, where we seated our selves, ''Do you not recongize me ?" he asked, after he had lighted a cigarette. "X no. I think I have seen your face before, but I cannot recall the time and place." "I am Sandsivo F I looked at him curiously for a mo ment. And this was the man who had murdered a hundred innocent children, and pillaged and sacked every available village on the Rossiero. Involuntairly my eyes wandered over his face and body. "You are looking for claws and the forked tail, I suppose Senor Doctor ?" he said, laughing lightly. "No," I said, boldly ; I have not the superstition of the ignorant I thought to see the mark of Cain !" He started forward angrily, but the fire in his eye cooled as he said : That is trifling. You have been brought here to-night on a matter which affects materially the future interests of the Argentine Confederation. On my word of honor, you shall leave here to night safely if you accede to our wishes ; ifeot " 1 He gave a significant glance. I knew its meaning too well. "Your word of honor 1 I have had a practical illustration of its value in the conduct of my guide hither." "We will not speak of that, Senor Doc tor. You are aware that we are a brave band of persecuted " "Ruffians and assassins," I added calmly- "Diablc ! I am almost inclined to end this thing," he exclaimed, maddening in stantly as he spoke. "But to proceed : our object is to free ourselves from the servitude imposed upon us by J uan Fer nido and his followers. To do this, it is necessary that he should be put out of the way. You understand ?" "Perfectly, my worthy captain ; but how does that affect me T "I am coming to that presently. We require you to give to Juan Fernido, who is under your care at present, a little drug, which will put him beyond the power of seeking us again." "That is killing him." The bandit took his cigarette from his mouth and nodded. "Secondly, you are to give us the exact position, strength, aud weak points of the camp, auu, lastly, you are request ed to take an oath never to divulge what transpired to-night." And what do you propose to give me to do this humane and loyal thing for you ?" I spoke in a sarcastic tone but he mis took my meaning, and eagerly replied : "Fifty ounces of gold, and the promise of lieutenant-commander, it we succeed." "And if I decline your offer ?" "Yon will be tied hand and foot, bound to a log, and set floating down the Ros ciero yonder, which, two miles below, flows through a rocky mountain gorge. Death, terrible, inevitable death, is cer tain."' "I reject your offer." "What !" He leaped to the ground as he spoke with a fierce oath ot doubt and anger, i calmly repeated that I scorned his offer, and was willinar to meet my fate. He placed a whistle to his lips, and a halt dozen of his followers came up. They were ordered to take me to the bank of the river, which flowed a few rods beh.w on the llano, and, after a short course, flowed through the rocks near the edge of the hills. They obeyed by leading me to the place where I was securely bound to a log, my right arm alone being free. "Once more, will you accede to my re quest ?" demanded the ruffian. "I have decided," I replied, calmly. Then launch him, and Dios tcde!" I was lifted and placed whhiu ihe cold waters of the Roseiero. A moment later the swift Current was bearing me onward toward the rocky gorge. lor about half an hour, perhaps, I ex perienced no painful sensation, save com. uuu leeling oi numbness and inca pacity to move. I seemed to be dream ing, and was being borne through the air gently, for the current, though swift, moved smoothly. At last I was aroused from from my stupor Dy a keen, cold leeling ot pain near my heart. It was that ot death; toi suddenly my whole frame became racked with shooting pains, which caused my limbs to become almost convulsed, aud strain thegstrong withes with which was bound. But wnat was the sound which now greeted mv agitated hearing that dull, halt-subdued falling of water ? A mo ment later I was borne round a sharp curve in the stream into a still hercer current, and the full consciousness ot my fearful position suddenly broke upon me l had entered the monntam gorge, and was fast hearing the falls. I closed my lips firmly in mute resig nation and despair. Death, fearful en evitable death, stared me in the face! Suddenly a sharp pain shot through my left limb, as if a sword's point had entered it. That member becaine free, and swung with the motion of the log now to the right, now to the left, strik ing against the rocky bottom of the river, and mangling it badly. Apparently, some sharp-pointed rock had severed the rope, and now 1 felt the blood once more circulate through my veins. Unbinding the rope by a severe effort, by means of my left hand I had the sat isfaction of feeling that I was free, and a wild gleam of hope shot through my soul : but 1 still retained my hold on the log, which was rapidly rearing the cat aract whose deafening roar was now to be distinctly heard. Every moment brought me nearer the falls, so near indeed that I could see. even in the darkness, the surface of the water flecked withj frothy foam. The course became more irregular and rocky, and the sides of the gor-e more shelv ing. Suddenly the log shot ahead with fear ful velocity, and struck on a huge boul der that projected above the water with a stunning shock; then shot from its course upwards. 1 lost my hold, seemed carried upward with great lorce, and un oonscious on the hard rocks at the side of tht stream; while the log shot over the prtcipice, down, down, sheer titty feet. It was broad daylight when I recover ed my senses. 1 opened my eyes and stared vacantly about me, at the same time attempting to rise. My every bone and muscle seemed bruised and broken; yet I succeeded in gaining a straight position. Four feet below was the still roaring river, hastening to the falls be neath. I had been landed on a level shelf on the shore ot the stream, and found but little difficulty, severe as were my in juries, in scaling the slight elevation and reaching the more level llano beyond. Here 1 rested lor a few moments, bind ing my wounds and ascertaining my whereabouts; then I started in a north westerly direction for post of B. Four hours afterward, ragged, and so lame that I could scarcely walk, I en tered the encampment. The sentinel stared at me mutely, assisting me to my quarters, whence, after a death-like sleep of a few hours, I repaired to head-quar ters. General Fernido greeted me warmly expressing no little astonishment at my pale face and swollen hands. He had missed me, and, fearing that I had prob ably wandered from the camp and been captured by the insurgents, had sent out scouts, who had iust returned with no tidings ot me. Astonishment gave way to gratefulness when I related my strange experience. which, one year afterward, when I left for New York, the rebellion having been crushed, assumed a substantial evidence ot sincerity in the shape or a splendid medal and seventy ounces of gold. How a Newsboy Saved a Bank. From the Philadelphia Record. And now let me tell you how "Did ley," the newsboy, stopped a panic. It was soon after the failure of the Bank of Pennsylvania, and public confidence in all moneyed institutions was badly shaken. Well, a rumor had gone abroad about the Savings fund, then lo cated in the building at the southeast corner of Third and Chestnut streets, where the Western Union telegraph of fice is now situated. The depositors were mostly Germans, in small amounts. Didley had told me he had $800 deposit ed there, and so when a rush was made on the bank I called on the President as a newspaper man to make inquiries. Didley hadn't got down town yet, but some of the newsboys started for his house to notify him, while others gather ed in the crowd. All were as much in terested as himself in bis finances. A failure of the bank meant a stoppage of theatre tickets. I soon learned that the savings fund was in a condition to go through if the rush was checked. --But we can't stand this panic. I'll see that Didley shan't lose a cent, if I have to pay it out of my own pocket," said the Pres ident. Thhoucbed me, and I resolved to help hirrrF "I'll send Didley over here when he arrives," I suggested to) the President, "and when he comes yu give him full liberty to look at the books, etc., you have given me. Then trust to his tact. I found Didley waiting for me at the office, and told him the facts. Over he walked, with the careless air of a capital ist,! through the ciowd into the bank, followed by a yelling mass of newsboys. "I want to see the President," de manded Didley. "Iam here; what can I do for yon. Mr. " (calling him by his proper name. "Well, Mr. President, I want to know the exact state of affairs. I have $ 800 de posited here, and I can't afford to lose it. But I don't want to trouble vou bv drawing it out if it is safe. 1 ask you, on your word ol honor, is it safe ?" "I assure you that it is, on my word ot honor. But as you have acted so gen tlemanly, walk in and examine the books." With one of his little hands thrust nnder his short coat tails and the other placed on his breast, Didley walked into the directors' room with all the style of a Rothschild. The lush for money was temporarily stopped by the crowd gazing on this little man. Soon Didley appeared, hjs face show- PVor whh ir, then-lotting tlvem dry Ihor- ' nig evident, satisfaction. -Did you get ough'.r in the wrffin air and then paek your money? was the srtlntaiicfti rf the j ti; .m av;iv ia wooden h.;kets for ci own oi 003. as he reicueuttie step. use.

The older folks sto m! awe-tricken. The ooutidetica of the newsboys asserted itself nmdlig them, and by noon the panic was stopped and the. crowd had disappeared. The Presi dent told me afterward thai Did ley saved the bank, as a continuance of the rush would have embanas-ctl them beyond redemption before they had time l dis pose of their assets at a proper price. Hard Timet. The Popular Science Monthly says: Production and consumption do not have that i'Miinate rclat.on to men other they once had. In old times the weaver, for instance, was m contact with his custo mers; be wove tbeclotti as he discovered the need: he e:uiiioulv set tin the second loom when it became fully evi dent that it could be kept employed; and thus supply and demand went, as it were, hand in hand. But now gigantic mills filled with many spindles have little ac curate relation to consumption. The power of production by means of im proved machinery is something immense, and it is exercised with no very watchful or cautious regard to the immediate needs of the community. Goods are piled up in vast quantities in waiting for a future market, or for an anticipated change in price, or they are pressed upon the market at such low rates or on such long credits that buyers are seduced into over purchases. In favorable times these establishments are run at high pressure. The old-fashioned nice relation between producer and consumer disappears. Spec ulation takes the helm. Much more is produced than there is corn, leather or other goods, to exchange for it. The re sources ot the mills are great; they can borrow from banks wliile they pile up their fabrics in their warerooms; they can by means ot their concentrated capita i keep their machinery running, even at a loss, if by so doing they can crush out a rival or manipulate the market. But in the height ot this prosperous run there i a check no matter for what cause and suddenly the work stops. There is little sale for goods produced; the fin s must be put out, the doors closed, and thous ands of operatives are deprived of em ployment. This would not be so un fortunate if this over-production had been diffused among the work-people. But it had not. -Notwithstanding the pressure and the excessive manufacture. wages -have been kept down; while pro ducing in six months as much as could be exehanged in a year, the workmen have not been paid iu this way their wages have been upon the basis of a whole year s work as a result, they are turned empty-handed upon the street. And, what is particularly unfortunate, they are reduced as consumers to the minimum point. Here the evil works both ways. The excessive prod m t on which has shut up the mill has weakened the powers of the community to absorb this production the goose that laid the egg has been slain. Inevitably the recovery of hard times brought about in this way must be slow. The spindles cannot be set in mo tion until the stock of goods on hand is reduced and a fresh dem.iul revive-; thi detn?nd cannot reyive because the great bodv of consumers are iu a state ot im- poverishmeu This condition of thing- is entirely mi (Ik tent to explain the gen esis and the prolongation ot ousitiess prostration.

Some time in lS'il or 13G2 Saunders en listed in the Fourth West Virginia Vol unteers. For several years he had not slept at ill, so he says. But it becom ing known directly in camp that he made such pretensions, it aroused the curiosity of many of the men and officers, and they set a watch upon him. 1 am told by a colonel that he and m any others lost a great many nights' sleep In en deavoring to entrap Saunders, but. dur ing the whole time that he remained a member of the Fourth he was never caught asleep. He stood guard night after night, and week after week, paid by sleepy-headed soldiers to take their turn, but never was caught napping. He haiiled coal several weeks in succes sion, enly stopping long enough to cat and change horses, and plowed 111 the fields with five or six stafwa t men until he'wore them out completely, but never seemed to tire. During the year 1SG3, 1 think it was.he went to Philadelphia and was examined by the leading physicians of the country. They sat up w ith him in relays of five, night aud day. and kept up an almost constant stre; m ot conver sation with him, and at the terminal ion of 29 days discharged him with a ccrtiri cate.but'eould give no explanation of this freak of nature. Many stories of the un tiring energy and activity of this man are told, and all agree who know him that this antipodes of Rip Van Winkle is the most sleepless man they ever met. Mr Saunders is now about 56 years of age, and says that he has not known what sleep is for 18 years. He himself can not account for it. as he says the change in his physical organization oc curred within three days, and that he never was sick In his life, and took medicine but once,aml that was when he had a catarrh, about three years ago. He is a hale, hearty man, and bids tair to nVe-Hianv years vet. He is consci- ennoWffy opposed to making a display of himself, or no doubt would long ago have been before the public as one ot the human curiosities of the world. Cincinnati Commercial, How to Preserve Eg?rs. At this season of the year the egg har vest is at its greatest height, and prices now rule lower than later in the season, so it is incumbent on the city house keeper, as well as upon her country cous in, to lay in a large supply, against a time of need: for eggs enter so largely into the composition of all kinds of food, and are such excellent articles of diet when cooked as omelette or plainly boil ed or baked, that they have become quite as needful an accessory of the table as is the never failing loaf of bread or plate of biscuit. Some of the scientific journals ot France aud Germany have given direc tions lately concern ing the preservation of eggs taken from the experiments ot some savants who had tried many metn ods before they found what they now consider the right one. They have kept the eggs in milk of lime or lime water until they had contracted an unpleasant taste also in salt brine until the eggs wre too salt for use ; and had packed them in bran and oats, only to find them spoiled. But those who had been cover ed with the white of egg they found kept perfectly. Yet as this was rather an ex pensive method they substituted linseed oil, which was rubbed into the shells un til they were thoroughly saturated, and they were then spread out upon a layer of sand, and left exposed to the air for six months, and when opened were found to be fresh and well flavored. It can be easily done by buying a halt a pint of lin seed oil and making a little swab with a bit of cotton twisted or tied around a small stick, and smearing the eggs all --.- i-r- . . . 1 : ter of the ero A Card to the Public. For many years we have made two medicines suited to the ailments of a vast class of sufferers. Thousands of cures have been made by them, and, in fact, the word failure could not be coupled with them. But within the last two years counterfeits of our medicines have sprung up, dangerQUS in their close imi tation of our Trade Mark. To secure the people we have placed upon each genu ine box of llolluuay's Ointment the lac similie of the signature ot our agent. Mr. Jos. fiaydock. To counterfeit is felony. We shah relentlessly pursue any one who imitates this with the utmost vigor ol the law. We most earnestly bog that the great mas ot American people will aid us in our efforts to protect their health, and help us iu our task ot bringing these most unprincipled men to the bar of jus tice. Uniformly refuse to purchase Medicines purporting to be ours unless Mr. Jos. llaydock's signature is attached to each box of Pills or pot of Ointment, and the end will soon be reached.
