I never "member to huvo seen oneof his race who so forcibly rcmindv-l no of the imminnry Indian of ('lmpcr's novels M did Janamum. or the Red Buf hlo. He. was a Lipan chief whnm I once met in the wilds of Texas. An unerting marksman. a perfect nth lete in riding, running. and in hurling the spear, Junumutn was the ideal of an Indian warrior. He was breveand daring, and his hnte of the Comiinehes made him a friend to their enemies, the whites. As an illustration of his daring, let me relate the incident by which he wen the uobn‘quet of Red Buffalo. Being once out with his band, engaged in procuring their winter supply of ment, he encountered a savage bufi'nlo bull, who “ripped up" his horse. Instead of retiring from the contest; as he might have done with honor to himself, Jenn mata attacked the buffalo on foot. Throwing away his bow and arrows, he calmly awaited the animal's charge. As he approached, he dexterously leaped over its bowed head. and landing upon the animal's baék, plunged his knife sev eral times into his body, than, jumping off behind, he seized it by the tail, and before the animal could turn upon him, novel-edits ham-strings by the cut of his knife. 7 In company with an old Texan, named John Worth, I had started on a hunting expedition up the Gusdalou pe. One day, upon reaching the little settlement of Queue, about noon, we found the in habitants excited over an outrage just committed by the Comanches. A young girl, of great beauty, only seventeen years of age, the daughter of an old settler named Lockhart, had gone, out upon the plain that morning to gath- 1 or flowers. While there, within sight of her father‘s house, a Comanche rode rap-j idly out of the woods near her. ‘ She saw him, and ran, screaming, to-\ wards the house. But the Indian over took her, and, without checking the speed of his horse, stooped in his saddle and throwing his arms about her waist, lifted her before him, and galloped fu riously away. Her shrieks for help were heard. Before assistance could reach her, however, the savage was far on the road to the mountain with his prize. ‘ The whole population was out, and the settlement was the scene of the wildest confusion. It seemed as if they had lost their senses. Half a dozen men had their horses snddled,but no one bad start ed in pursuit. They stood listening to old Andy,tllegirl's father,who,withdishev elled gray locks, red, swollen eyes, and broken voice, appealed to every one to aid in recapturing his daughter. . Two or three messengers had gone up the river to arouse the settlers, and it was expected that at least fifteen would re— spond to the call. At the old man‘s sug gestion, another had also been dispatched to a Lipan camp, about two miles below to request their chief, Janamata, to join in the pursuit. The Indian soon appeared, but still the party were not ready to start. They seemed ignorant of the fact that every moment‘s delay made the chance of euc ceee more uncertain. Finally, my com panion. John Worth, rode into the circle or] odd: . “Boys, I'm John Worthmne of Hayea's Rangers. I'm antranger to you. but if you‘ [follow me. I'll bring back the old man‘s daunhter, or I won't come back Inna". Who‘llgol" Thirteen men responded to the call. and. wilh a hearty Tens yell. we started. We soon struck the Comanche'u trail. The Lipan followed it like a hound on a mat. It.

He had reen his daughter. but liml been re strained h, the “the” from attempting to rescue her. The Indian hall reuvlwd a large ctuup of his tribe. The lodged numbered twenty, and there were at least thirty wurrioru in the party. The question now was whether we should attack with our small numhcm or send back for reinforcements. At one moment. old Andy declured that we were not strong enough to [nuke the attempt, and in the next. he urged in the most beseeching tones to attack at once. What should we do: The Indians out numbered us two to one, and also had the advantage in point of position. Someot' us might not see the sun rise in the morning; yet not a man hesitated. All deelared‘themselves willing to take the risk. Their faces told, l'ar‘better than words, their stern resolution. The question was settled, and we wait ed for the hour that was to bring victory or defeat. With the first faint. streak of light, we saddled our horses, examined our arms, and then rode slowly forth to meet our fate. Many a brave fellow, during that short, silent ride through the chill morning air, thought of his wife and little ones, and \\ondered if he would ever look upon their faces again. But no one wavered, and‘ when the order, “Clutrge!” rang out on the still air, with a hearty Texan yell, we dashed like a thunderbolt upon the enemy’s camp. It was a complete surprise. For an in stant, the camp was a scene of terrible confusion. But. the Indians quickly ral lied, and fought like demons. But their only weapons being bow and arrow spears, our rifles and pistols gave us a great advantage. Each man fought on his “own hook," dealing his shots wherever they would do the most injury. Our little party fought desperately, and as only men can light who tight for life. Old Andy‘s gray hairs could be seen in the thickest ot‘ the fight. He fought like a crazed man, and was the mark tor a hundred arrowa. . Three times we forced our way nearly to the cuptive’a lodge, and three times were We beaten back. “Once more!" cried old Andy, and once more aunited eli'urt was mnde to gain the lodge. ' At thedour stood a snvnge, using his bow constantly, and evidently with the design of killing his captive rntller than allow her to fall into our hands. Just then we heard the girl’s shrill voice cry ing. “Courage, courage! Suva mc, save me!" ’l‘he cry reached he with thrillingefl'ect, and, filled with . new life, seven of our men dashed furiously forward. Oid Andy was in advance, nnd, with a you and a hound, threw himself upon the guurd with such impethosity that the Indian was home to the ground. The two were struggling on the ground, when one 01' our men jumped from his horse and shot the Indian. The Lipan first entered the lodge, seized the girl and lifted her to his and dle. Before he had gone ten feet, an ar row pierced his body, and he fell heud long to the ground. ‘ Worth caught the girl as she was full ing. and bore her away unharmed. Then we retreated, bearing the dead bodies of four ofour cmnmdesdncludingtho Lipan. The Indians made no attempt to follow us, and we crossed the river in safety. When again upon Texan soil. we halted, and buried the bodies of our comrades. There mu but. one mnn in the party who did not bear upon his body some mark of Cnmanche prowess, and he was the (mambo had the most recklessly ex posed his life. Old Andy, and he alone, had escaped unharmed. We had the satisfaction of maturing the daughter unharmed to her mother‘s arms. With that mother's blessing fol lowing us. we proceeded on our way and finished our hunt, none the worse for our “Texan epiwdc.“- Yuuth'n Compam'un.

It is a curious circumstance of the war in the east, and of interest in connection with the capture of l’levua. that prior to its occupation by (Moon l’a-dm'a army. Plevua was never heard of outside of its own immediate neighborhood. it had no commercial prominence, and was entire ly without military defences save such as nature provided. l’levna is twenty-seven miles southwest of Nicopolis, and when the latter was captured by the Russians on the 16th of July by General lirudener, many Turkish refugees lled to l’levnn. Osman Pasha with a strong corps was within a day‘s march of Ntcopolis when it fell. and after that disaster wandered into l’levna in a purposeless way, as if waiting to see what would turn up next. It was General lt'rudener who turned up very quickly after the but of Nicopolin and occupied l’levnn without resistance. but incautiously marched beyond and into ()smau l’aaha's army, and was de feated. ()eruan was quick to seize the advantage he had secured by chance, and, marching up his main body, he occupied [’levna with 50,000 men. This was on the 18th of July. Following their tra ditional tactics, the Turks, as soon as they took possession of the town, began to use the spade. lt‘ortiticutions were erected, and strongr earthworks and stronger redoubts were thrown up. and there he stayed, repulsing every ell'ort of the Russian and ltoumuuian armies to dislodge him until finally, after a long siege, he was starved out and compelled to surrender. All these fateful events grew out of the purposeless movements that characterized the first part of the campaign. The great fortified towns of Shumla, Rustchuk, Widden and other notable Turkish fortresses have had no conspicuous place thus far in the war, while an insignificant 'l'nrkish town, to tally devoid ot’ artificial means of de fense, has played the most important part of any point on the scene ofmilitary oper atiuua, and whose downfall is probably the death knell of an empire of several centuries of history.~- Ilawlc-lt'ya.

The attention of horticulturists is now being uttrncted to this-now and valuable fruit that Ins recently been introduced into this country. This variety ditl'ei's mnteriully from the persimmon of the ‘ Southern States, as it ripens without trust and is equally palatahie whether fresh or dried. The tree is highly orna mental. a prelillc bearer and as hardy an the pear. Its season is from October in March, coming in when tine fruits are scarce, The fruit is of a bright yellew,., orange or reddish eelor, and is pro nounced equal to the pear er peach. It is also sullicientlysnlid to be packed and shipped with safety. It grows to a large size, attaining in some cases a peumt each in weight. The Japanese persim mon is perfectly adapted to the soil and climate of this country, and may be cul tivated precisely as the apple. The grafted trees hear in aboutl'onr years; seedlings require double that time and are not reliable. Colonel liolli-iter, qf Santa Barbara, Cal” writes as t'olluws of the diespyros of kaki: “This fruit is, i think, the must beau til'ul of all fruits I have ever seen, and is the most deliciuus to the taste. [car ried four of them to San Francisco last fall which weighed three-quarters of a puu‘d’ each. The fruit is’er' a rich yel lew ealer, and Hnells more like a ball of wax than a fruit.

Ltnmo makes the statement that rain water filtered through field or garden soil does not dissolve out a trace of pot ash, uilicic acid, ammonia, or phosphoric “PM. The soil does not give up to the water one particle of the food of plants which it contains. The most continuous rain can not remove from the fluid, except mechanically, any of the essential con stituents ol' lts fertility. 'l'he soil not only retains firmly all the food of plants which is actually in it, but its power to preserve all that may be useful to them also extends to withdrawing from rain or other water all the ammonia. potash, phosphoric and silieio acids held in so— lution. .
