And tingling blood, and mighty strength of ]

Stroke after stroke he swiftly cleaves apart j
The lambent emerald waters bearing him. j
Or diving through the vast, dim under- |
world,
Ho seeks the fabled mermaids hidden there, <
llising to shake his locks all spray-em- '

And draw a lone breath of tho summer air.
Again ho idly floats a little space,
Letting the lucent weight of each cool

Caressing as a kiss, his happy face
And all his outstretched length of body

Then from a height, with free, exultant
spring
lie dives again, and feels himself a king.

AT THE STAKE.
A STOItY Ol' T1IK MIDDLE ACF.S.
"To tl?estake with her! Away with
the sorceress! God's curse be on her
for her evil doings?" shouted the mob.
It was early morning, yet even at that
houi the judgment hall of the little
town of Bourdonnis was thronged with
the populace. Men, women and children,
old and young, the noble and the
burgher, priests, soldiers and common
people, crowded the spacious hall nnd
cried madly for her blood.
The evening before a lcniale, closely
veiled and attended by two servants,
whose dark countenances bespoke the
sons of Ethiopia, had arrived at lJourdonnis
and put up at one of the principal
hostelrics of the place, strange
rumors soon arose respecting her. Her
garb, her mien. ther language and her
complexion were said to be those of
a Saracen, against which accused
race the chivalry of Europe and the
church itself warred in vain. These rumors
gained additional strength when
the landlord of the inn where she had
stopped was heard to say that he had
seen her practising sorcery, a charge
easily credited in that age, nnd one
which few, especially in a case like this,
had the hardihood to disbelieve. In less
than an hour the whole population of
the town was about, surrounding the
hostelry, and crying out for vengeance
against the sorceress. Such commotions
were both frequent and sanguinary in
that superstitious age.
The soldiery, however, interfered by
arresting the unsuspecting victim 01
these rumors, and at an early hour the
prisoner had been brought into the
judgment hall to await the mockery of
trial.
"Answer me, daughter of IJclial!"
said the judge, as soon as the murmurs
of the mob allowed him to be heard.
"Will you confess your crime? Speak,
or you die! Know you that the rack,
aye! tire itself awaits jou if your obstinacy
continues?"
The prisoner was a slight girlish creature,
sitting with her face buried in her
hands, directly opposite to the judge.
She was apparently young and her tigurc,
so far as could be seen through the
thick veil which shrouded her form, was
light and agile as that of a sylph. To
the judge's question she* made no answer.
She only shook her head despondinglv,
and those nigh tier fancied they heard
her sob.
At these fearful words, repeated now
for the second time, and growled forth
with an ominous fierceness, appalling
even to the hearer, the prisoner was observed
to tremble, whether with fear or
otherwise, we know not, and lifting her
veil up with a sudden ellort, she rose to
her feet, turned hastily around to the
mob, and disclosed a countenance of
DUUU DUl 4V?CIUIV00 IV IIIVII jjUf'Vi
that cvca those who had cried out most
unrelentingly for her blood now shrank
abashed into silence, while others who
had been less eager for her condemnation
audibly murmured in her favor.
"What would ye have of mc.'" she
said-, addressing the judge, and for the
first time standing unveiled before him.
"As there is a God in whom we both
believe, 1 have told you only the truth. 1
am a stranger, a foreigner, a defenceless
woman, but not the less the affianced
bride of one of your proudest noblemen,
the count de Garonne."
The tone in which she spoke was low,
but oh! how touchingly sweet; aud her
words were uttered in broken French,
with a perceptible Oriental accent. Loud
murmurs rose in her favor as she ceased
speaking. The tide was turning. But
the judge now spoke.
''Out on thee for a base slanderer of a
noble of France and a ho'y crusader!
Thou the betrothed bride of Garonne!
As soon would tho eagle mate with the
vulture. I tell thco, woman, that thy
story of having been shipwrecked in
coming to France, and ol all thy train
having been lost except thy two Kthiopian
myrmidons, is a foul lie, and I am
almost minded to wring the truth from
thee on the rack."
'I have said it,said the prisoner, in
a firm voice, for she felt that her life depended
on her firmness, "and if you will
give but one week, one little week, and
I will prove it before man as well as Goil.
I caine from Syria in the same fleet with
my lord, but undercharge of his mother's
confessor?now a saint in heaven!?but
being separated by a storm, in which our
galley w as shipwrecked, I was thrown
unprotected on your shores. I am a
stranger here. My servants even have
deserted me. I do no one harm. 1 plot
no treason. All I ask is to pass on my
way. Oh'. " she continued in a burst of
emotion, "if you have a daughter, think
what would be your feelings if she was
thus to be set upon in a strange land,"
and she burst into tears. Again the
crowd murmured in her favor.
"Woman r" sternly interposed the
judge, unmoved by her emotion, "look
at the victim of your sorcery, and seek
no longer to deceive us by your lies.
Send forth I'hilin the Deformed!''
At the words of the judge, an official
bearing a white wand stepped into a side
room, and in a moment reappeared with
a cripple hideously deformed, whom the
populace recognized as the landlord of
the hostelry. When confronted with
the prisoner he glared at her with a look
of demoniacal hatred.
"Know you this woman?" asked the
judge.
"Ay, to my cost," answered the cripple.
"It is through her incantation that
i am the being I am. It was but yesterday
she came to my inn, attended by two
heathenish Ethiopians, whom I have
heard palmers from the Holy Land say
aire kept by the PaDims?God's ban be
theirs! 1 no sooner beheld her than I
Ttfcognizcd her to be the sorceress who,
three years a"0, brought on mc the dis
ease by which I am crippled. I could
tell her among a thousand. The curse
of God liirht on her for a child of the
evil one." and the witness ground his
teeth together and glanced tiercely at the
prisoner. A low murmur of approval,
at first faint and whispered, but gradually
swelling into a confused shout, rose on
the air as he ceased.
"He is a perjured wretch," exclaimed
the prisoner with energy, "whom my
servants detected in an attempt to rob
my poor ejects; hence his malice and
this charge."
"Silence, woman," sternly interposed
the judge, "or else confess. Will you,
ft child o[ Belial, malign a Christian
jnan ?"
The testimony for the publican had
worked a complete change in the flue
tuating feelings of the mob toward the
prisoner, and the words of the judge
were answered back by a shout of approval.
< The prisoner was seen to turn
deathly pale. She did not reply, however,
to the question, but shook her head
uespondingly, as if conscious that all
]ioi>c was over.
"Lead her away," hoarsely growled
the mob, while the dense mass of people
swayed to and fro in the excitement, as
if they would have rushed on the defenceless
victim.
"Again I ask thee, woman, wilt thou i
Confess:1" i
She shook her head despondingly,
Juried her face in her hands and mur- i
mured something: perhaps it was a 1
yraver. The mob burst oncc more into
commotion.
"Where arc the servants of this i
woman? let them be put on the rack," ]
8aid the judge.
"They have escaped," answered an
official. ]
"Vengeance for the sufferers by her j
^ incantations!" hoarsely growled a voice
f from the mob. <
The judge no longer hesitated, but \
yielding to the popular current us well
as his own prejudices, sentenced her to j
be burned at high noon of that very day. r
A wild shout of exultation rose from the t
frenzied mob as the sentence was pro- i
Bounced, but over the din swelled the }
fearful cry. "To the stake with her? c
away with the sorceress.'' (
It was a few hours earlier in the same
day when a noble knight sat in a hostlerv c
of the little seaport town of . He r
wak of singularly imposing cast of coun- a
tenance. His features were of the true d
S'orman outline, with a lofty intellectual '
)ro\v, shaded by locks of the richest
. hestnut hue. His check was embrowned
oy a Syrian sun until it was of the darkest
olivo color, but the clear white of his
forehead, which had been protected
From exposure by his helmet, betrayed
the original purity of his complexion,
[lis form was tall and commanding, lie
?at apparently absorbed in thought, but
was aroused from his roverie by the entrance
of a retainer.
"Are the horses ready?"
"Yes, my lord," said the man.
"We will mount into the saddle at
once then; how far did they say it was
to Bourdonnis?"
"Six leagues.-'
"We shall reach it before nightfall;
lead on."
The party which set forth from the inn
was a gallant sight to behold. Knights,
squires, men-at-arms and other retainers
swelled the escort of the young count to
the number of nearly four-scorc, while
the pennons waving in the air, and the
occasional sound of a trumpet <rave a
liveliness to the escort which attracted
the attention of the passers-by of every
rank and sex, and drew many a sigh of
envy from them. liuc who might pretend
to be the cuual of the renowned
Count Garonne, 11 crusader of untarnished
fame, a gallant still in the flower
of his youth and the lord of half a score
of castles scattered over the wide domain
of France.
At the head of the proud array rode
the count himself, conversing gaily with
a knight at his side, whom lie familiarly
called cousin.
"Ay, by St. Dennis!" said the count,
she is a divinity such as even our sunny
provence doth not afford. Such eyes,
such hair, and then, by my faith, such a
voice! It pained my heart to part from
my sweet Zilah?but she would have it
so?and so she comes in company with
Father Ambrose and a score of my best
knights. Her maidenly modesty dictated
this, and I was forced to submit.
We were separated, however, by that
heathenish storm, and I suppose her
galley put into Genoa."
"I long to see your princess, nor do I
wonder at your love, since she freed you
from a Moslem prison. I am all impatience
to behold her?but look at the
knave coming over yonder hill, lie rides
like the fiend himself."
"Ay! and by St. Dennis he is a blackamoor;
a scarcer thing here than in
Syria."
Even while they spoke the horseman
rapidly approached, and before many
minutes drew in the rein of his foaming
steed at the side of the count, whom he
appeared to know. The recognition was
mutual. The man instantly spoke in a
strange tongue, and with violent gestures,
while, with an agitated voice, the
count appeared to question him. But a
few minutes had elapsed, however, before
the count turned around to his
cousin, and exclaimed, in a voice trembling
with emotion, but with an attempt
at composure:
"Zilah has been wrecked, and only
she and two of her train, with a few
common sailors, have escaped. Her
strange companions, her foreign tongue,
but, more than all, the accursed perjuries
of a thieving innkeeper, have
brought on her the charge of sorcery, a
tumult has been raised, she has been
arrested, and?God of my fathers!?
may even now be suffering on the rack
or at the stake. Oh! why did 1 ever
leave her? liut, if a hair of her head is
harmed, 1 will han<: every knave of
IJourdonnis."
"Let us on at once, then; we may yet
arrive in time."
"Pass the word down the line," exclaimed
the count. "On. knights and
gentlemen; we must not draw rein until
we reach IJourdonnis."
After a few minutes of hurried consultation
with the servant, who stated
that he and his fellow had escaped in
the night of the tumult, and each, by
different roads, sought the port where
they supposed the count to be, the gallant
array set forward at a rapid pace,
and in a few moments nothing but a j
cloud of dust in the valley and on the '
hillside was left to tell of their lite pres- j
ence.
It was already high noon in Bourdona

valley, was the place chosen for the infliction
of the liorrid sentence. For
more than an hour?indeed ever since
the condemnation of the accused?the
populace had been pouring thither in
crowds, until now a vast multitude,
comprising nearly the whole population
of the town, surrounded the place of
execution and covered the encircling
hills like spectators in an amphitheatre.
At length the procession came in sight.
First marchcd a body of sotdicrs; then
followed the magistrates of the town;
directly after appeared several monks;
and then, clad in white, with her hands
tightly pressed together came the victim.
She made no answers, it was observed,
to the words of the monks on either
hand, but ever and anon she would
kiss a crucifix which she carried,
and raised her swimming eyes tc
heaven. In that hour of bitter agony,
what must have been her emotions'
She, the daughter of an emir and the
affianced bride of one of the proudest
nobles of France, to be hissed at by a
mob, and end her life in unheard of torments
at the stake! Oh! if her lover,
she thought, only knew her peril! But
alas! he was away. Well might she
her only hope, unci well might she turn
away from the ministers of religion who
sanctioned her sacrifice and trust only
in that cross which was her lover's gilft,
and the emblem of the suITerings of one
whom that lover had taught her was the
only true God.
At length they reached the fatal stake.
Hut if Zilah shuddered at its sight the
feeling was checked before it could be
seen by the populace. Calm and collected,
though pale as the driven snow,
she stood proudly up while the fatal
chain was affixed around her slender
waist, and with eyes upraised to heaven,
appeared to be only au iuditTeient. spectator.
instead of tbc chief person in the
fatal tragedy. Not a repining word
broke from her lips. The first agony of
death had passed away, and she steeled
her heart to her fate.
At length all was prepared. Over the
vast assembly gazing on her, hung tho
silence of the dead. Men's breath came
quick, and their hearts fluttered when
thev felt that in another minute the aw
ful tragedy would be begun. Every
eye was bent intently on the fatal
stake as the executioner approached
with the fiery brand. For the last time
Zilah opened her eyes to take a final look
on that earth to which she was soon to
bid farewell forever. Hut what sent
that sudden flush to licr cheek? "Why
that cry of thrilling joy, the first audible
sound which had left her lips t.incc

horsemen, covered with dust and foam,
thundering over the brow of the hill in
front of her, and in the very van of the
array she recognizes the pennon of the
count of (Jaronne waving in the noonday
sun.
Onward came the rescuers. Horse on

In vain the soldiery who guarded the
victim attempted to resist the rush of
the assailants. They might as well have
withstood the ocean surges in their
might. The shock of the horsemen was
irresistible. Foremost among them,
cleaving his way like a giant, rode the
count himself, his tall figure and powerful
charger rendering him conspicuous
over all. Nothing could resist him.
He seemed like an avenging spirit come
to the aid of the suffering victim, nor
were those wanting who saw in the sudden
appearance of the rescuers, and
their indomitable courage, proofs of
supernatural agency. A universal panic
seized on the crowd. Soldiers as well
as populace broke and tied. In a few
minutes the count had gained the stake,
when, springing from his steed he
rushes forward, and with one blow of
[lis huge sword, had severed the clu'.in
which bound the victim to the stake.
"Oh! Henri!'' hysterically said the
rescued girl, as she sprang forward and
fell fainting into her lover's arms.
"Zilah! Cod be praised that you arc

THE MULTICAULIS MANIA. ];
RISE AND FALL OF THE GREAT
SILK-CULTURE CRAZE.
A Year wlicn ITCulberr j* Trcrw AVcrc
i-iuuku in -.very >ime?DimunK
of ilie Itubblc.
The year 1820 marked the origin of
the Morns multicaulis mania, which raged s
as a fever from 1830 until it culminated
and collapsed in 1830. Congress had re- ^
ferrcd an inquiry ou silk culture, in
18*2."?, to the committee on agriculture,
which, in 182G, reported in favor of its
promotion, stating in the report that the
imports of silk goods in 1825 were nearly 1
double the exports of brcadstufls?a
fact scarcely credible now. The same i
year Gideon 15. Smith, of Baltimore,
planted there what is claimed to have ,
been the first .Morns multicaulis tree in
America. The secretary of the treasury,
Richard Rush, was directed to provide a
manual on silk culture, and the famous
''Rush Letter" was accordingly issued in
1828, together with several other treati- '
ses, and circulated broadcast. In 1830 (
an article by a Dr. Pascalis, on the Moms
multicaulis, in the American Journal of <
Science, directly started the mulberry :
fever. The Massachusetts legislature, in
1831, provided for a manual of silk- .
eulture, which was made by a manufac- i
turer of Dcdham, Mr. ('obb. and most of
the States began to offer bounties and j
premiums on trees, cocoons and reeled
silk?commonly ten cents a pound on
cocoons and fifty on silk. A report to
Congress in 1830 proposed a grant of
?4(>,0<l0 to one M. JVHomcrguc for the !
establishment of a normal school of fila- 1
turc at Philadelphia, where sixty young
men might have gratuitous instruction |
for two years, and for traveling about i
the country to tcach silk-growing to far- <
mcrs; and this "silk bill," though defeated
in 1832, and reported against as <
unconstitutional in'18*to,would not down j
till 1S37, when still another committee i
reported as a substitute a scheme to lease
public lands without rent for cultivation (
of the mulberry-tree or the sugar-beet.
The whole country now went wild.
The fever seemed only to get fresh fuel
of excitement from the panic of 1837. Or- ,
chards of the multicaulis were planted in
every State; farmers everywhere aet ,
their wives and children to feeding
worms; multitudinous books, public documents,periodicals
onsilk culture, constituted
the bulk of the reading of the day;
afni-k- rnmnnnifis for raisin<? and manu
facturing silk spraug up like }?ufF balls:
silk conventions were held, and a
L'uited States silk society was organized.
A thrifty nurseryman on Long Islaud
gave help to the excitement by a canny
plan. After selling a considerable supply
of trees to New England dealers, he
started oil one night by the Providence
boat, and with great pretense of eagerness
made the rounds of all his customers,
excitcdly ottering fifty cents apiece
for trees. Of course he didn't get them,
but he presently was able to sell all he
had for a dollar instead of fifty cents
apiece.
In Burlington, New Jersey, over 300,000
trees were raised; in December,
1838, offerings at one dollar per tree or per
twig were refused at Boston sales, and
five dollars was sometimes got for trees
one season old. It. was satisfactorily
proved?again on paper?that an acre
of trees was good for $1,000 worth of
silk, but the price of trees had no relation
to figures, even the most rosecolored.
One farmer sold $6,000 worth
of trcc3 from three quarters of an acre.
In a single week in Pennsylvania $300,OOo
worth were sold.
In 1831) the bubble burst, and the biters
were bitten. Among them was the
speculative Long Islander. He had
caught the diseuse by which ho had
m-otited. and had sent an aecnt to France
with $80,000 to buy a million more trees.
"When they came, they were worth apart
of a cent apiece for pea-brush. Some
speculators endeavored to get even with
fate by shipping n cargo from the Kast
to Indiana by way of New Orleans in an
unscaworthy ship heavily insured, but
the goods unfortunately reached their
destination. Multitudes of men were
ruined by the crash. But Americans

The Cotton Kat.
The cotton rat, says a correspondent j
of the Co'tnlrif Gentleman, is about the ,
size of the common ground squirrel. The ;
tail is shorter than the body, and the '
ears are broad and rounded. The color !
above is dark yellowish brown; beneath,
ashy. The head and body measure six
inches in length. This is the common j
wood and licld rat of the South, being j
found abundantly in all the States south i
of Virginia, and westward into Mexico. |
It is a nocturnal species, although seen j
abroad at all hours. It digs shallow bur- |
rows in the ground, often twenty-five
yards in length, each of which is inhabited
by a single family. This rat
builds a nest of grass, or at times of cotton?lience
its name?and brings forth
from four to six ycung several times
during the year. The young attain their
full growth in less than live months. It
runs rapidly, and is an excellent
swimmer and diver, like the
wood rats generally. This is a gregarious
specie5, large numbers being always '
found near together. They make beaten i
paths, which may be found leading in i
every direction in old fields where tho
rats are numerous. i
It docs little or no damage to the ! <
planter, being more of an inhabitant of 1
worn-out fields aud woods than of cul- i
tivated grounds, and it is rather a friend 11
than an enemy of the agriculturist. It j 1
feeds upon the seeds of various grasses. '
and also largely upon animal food. I i
Clay fish, various insects, wounded birds j I
n?i/l rofe on/1 mi on #.11 nnfor Inrmilir in fn I 1
its dietary. It will kill a Florida rat of j 1
twicc its size in a few seconds, nnd so j '<
pugnacious is it that in captivity it will f
destroy every rat and mouse put into its j <
cage, and even weaker individuals of its j
own species. It is also very fond of |
eggs, ^nd destroys numbers of nests of
the quail and other birds which build
their nests upon the ground.
The cotton rat has a host of crtcmies
to keep down itsnumbers.sevend species
of birds and mammals feeding almost exclusively
upon it in the States in which ]
it is common. All the carnivorous animals
prey upon it and all the weasels arc
its inveterate foes. Ilawks of many
species, especially the marsh hawk, feed
largely upon it, and it feeds the young
of a 1 the large owls found in the South- .
em States. This species is easily captured
in wire, steel or box traps; the '
traps should be baited with a piece of {
meat, or the head of a fowl, and be set j
overnight; but the destruction of this
rat, except in rare instances, ij worse
than useless, the animal doing far more .
good than harm to the farmer. It
breeds readily in captivity, and becomes )
tame in confinement, and familiar with
those who feed and caress it.
Climbing a Mast to Escape from a Fish.
A naturalist describes in the New
York Krcning Poxt, a ludicrous incident
which occurred while lishing oil the j
Florida Coast. lie says:
While the shark was being divided a !
slight breeze sprang up that carried the j
Mystic perhaps half a mile, leaving her |
again at the mercy of the Gulf Stream. :
The ilingy was towering astern, and the I J
lish not biting well from the smack, 1 t
jumped in and pulled away. There was t
a mast with a sail wound around it on .
lier, and to get it out of the way 1 r
stepped it, then tossed over a line with .1
a tempting crayfish bait. Almost as soon
as it struck bottom I had a bite that 0
almost tore it from my grasp. It was too f
lively for a snapper, and not licavv f
enough for a grouper, so I took in as t
fast as I could, and with a jerk landed v
in the ding}-?not a fish, in the common 0
acceptation of the word, but a sea-ser- a
pent, at least four feet long, spotted an y
ugly black and white, with a thick viper- jj
like body,asmall head,and a pairof snake 1
like jaws, with as vicious a pair of eyes /
as any fisherman ever looked at. As the
snake landed in the boat, it for a moment
enjoyed the surprise with its
captor; and tlieu, recovering, and with
the hook still in its jaws, and its mouth 0
wide open, it started in my direction, tl
The patent headachcr was at its end of ii
the boat, and before I could raise an oar s<
or lift the line, the creature wjis on dip li
There was no time to argue, and there tl
were only two courses open, to go over- o
hoard or climb. I took the latter, and ti
gracefully shinned the mast, leaving the tl
saake in full possession, while my friends c<
on the smack roared their advice and o
sympathies. The sea serpent gave out s<
first, and finally after wandering around 01
the craft, squirmed over the side into d
the water. I descended and rowed for tl
the smack, and for the second time h
pulled in the murry, for such it was. c.i
When placcd on deck it darted at the li
nen with all the ferocity of a snake, and tl
is its bite is very dangerous the natural ni

gratifying to find that I was not the first bi
vho had been mastheaded by a murry. &

Deer Hunting In Yneatan.
Those of our readers who think hunting
is tame sport unless tccompanicd by a
"spice of danger,"are advised to go to
Yucatan. Alice I). Le l'longcon says
that deer abound in the neigborhood of
Abala. In hunting them, several men
place themselves so as to form and extended
circle, within shooting distance
of each other. A few go within the circle
and make as many cliscordant sounds

to frighten nil living things under the
brush, startled, 1 he game seeks snfety
in flight. Tlien the men near whom the
game happens to pass, shoot, sometimes
wounding dangerously or killing a companion,
particularly when, as on sonic
occasions, the circlc closes in to bring
all the gnmc to one spot. Owing to the
danger incurred in the hunt, it has been
prohibited, but the Indians arc very loth
to give up the customs of their ancestors,
and in the villages no one interferes
with them. Ten, twelve, and even
more doer arc caught at once; then
the hunters cook them; otherwise the
meat would not keep fresh until sold.
The cooking is done iu the following
manner: A hole two or three feet deep is
made in the ground, and large stones
placed in the botton; on them a fire is
built. When the stones are very hot some
ire taken out. Plaintain leaves , nrc
spread over those that remain, and the
tnimal having been stripped of its skin,
is laid thereon. Other plantain leaves
ire put over it, the hot stones that have
been taken out, and over all, earth. In
two or three hours the deer is thoroughly
;ookcd, and is very tender and juicy.
Hie deer skin when tanned is worth
three or four dollars. It is used for
making boots, large numbers being exported
to the United States.?Forest,

The limn Crap.
This is ;i great gum year in Maine,
especially on the Penobscot. The logs,
\necs and bark are not the only valuable
parts of the great timber tree, for the
;um is worth considerable even in its
oiigh state, just as it is hacked from
the crotches of tnc old trees.
There arc two or three firms in Maine
which buy large quantities of it from
umbcrmen and gum hunters for the
purpose of refining it, as they say. Hut
is a general thing the refining consists
11 adulteration with resin. They throw
t into a big kettle, bark and all, and
>oil it into about the consistency of
hick molasses, skimming the impurities
)fF as thev rise to the surface. Then, if
he purpose be to adulterate, some lard
)r grease and a lot of resin is added, and '
11 some cases a little sutrar. The mix- i
.urc then bccuncs tliicker, and after
norc stirring is poured out on a slab, i
vhcrc, while it is vet hot it is rolled out I
n a sheet about a quarter of an inch :

lie into pieces half an inch wide and i :
hrec-ijiiarters of an inch long. These | t
tieccs are wrapped in tissue paper and 1
(asked in wooden boxes. There are 1
!00 pieces in a box. *
Some gum is treated intlrswny with- i
nit adulteration. The best gum comes i
rom no particular locality, but always 1
rom the biggest trees. The loggers, in
heirmauy idle hours by the camp lire, '
whittle out miniature barrels from blocks

HOW "BILLY TEX KID" WASSBAWH

Career of a Noted Outlaw In the <
Southwest ? How I lie Slayer of c
iriany IWen !*Ict Ilia Death.
Billy the Kid, the notorious outlaw, 1
was passionately fond of women, and y
they idolized him. lie smoked cigarettes,
never drank, and had the physique 1
of an Apollo, with the eyes of a god e
flashing as the stars on tho darkest
night. As a horseman he was daring (
and graceful, aua Witn 111s umcncsrcr, i (
or self-cocking Smith & Wesson, a man j
who never missed his aim. The winter
of 1879 he spent at Sascaso, on the (
Canadian river. lie considered himself f
greatly wronged by the confiscation of j
his cattlo and the price set upon his
head by the government, while John (
Chiselm, for whom he had lost all, J
turned a cold shoulder upon him. That t
soured Billy's disposition. Advised
by his best friends to emigrate
to Old Mexico, and turn over a new 1
leaf, he swore that lie would not, but '
would return to New Mexico and make '
good his losses in a financed sense. lie ,
did return, and from that time on his
hand was raised against those who had
betrayed him and the authorities. lie '
and his party were coralled in a ranch in J
Central New Mexico in the winter of 1
1882 by their enemies, and besieged till '
famine brought a council of war. All I
were in favor of surrendering but the 1
Kid; but to save their lives, and on the (
promise of fair treatment by their cap- '

time he lmd killed twenty-two men?one :
for each year of his life. lie asserted 1
that his conscience was clear, and that '
he had not killed any one except, in self- j
defence. After their capture he and his
friends were taken to Las Vegas and
placed on board of a passenger train of
the Santa Fc and Topeka road.
There was terrible excitcrncnt in the
town, and a mob had been formed to
lynch them. All but Hilly of the prisoners
cowered under the car scats, filled
with fear; but lie, with shackled hands,
threw up the car window and laughed in
the faces of his would-be slayers, and
told the sheriff that if he would give him
back his Winchester he would stand the
whole mob off. The sheriff?a cool and
nervy man?finally told the mob that if
they did not cease he would strike the
shackles from them, give them back
their arms and let the people suffer the
consequenccs. He had given his word
to his prisonere that he would protect
them, and the mob would only reach
them over his dead body. At this the
crowd withdrew, and the train took
these noted men to Santa Fc, where they
wero kept iu jail till the court convened,
and then taken to Las Cruces, in the valley
of the Iiio Grande for trial. Billy
was convicted of murder and sentc need
to be hanged in Lincoln county, and his
escort to the callows was Deputy United
States Marshal Bob Ollinger and one
guard. Owing to Billy's reputation
United States Marshal John Sherman,
Jr., had caused to be made a special
kind of shackles of steel rings and
Yale locks, and weighing thirty pounds.
Theso were placed on the prisoner.
When half of their journey had been
traversed they stopped at a ranch for dinner,
Biily b:ing left alone in the room
with the guard, while Ollinger crossed
the placita to get his dinner. Just what
happened will never be known. In some
way or other the Kid got near enough to
the guard to crush his skull witSi his
shackles, ana tbcn, to complete nisworK,
drew the man's revolver and shot him
twice. Ollinger, hearing the shots, came
running back, but Billy met him at the
door with a gun in his hands that had
been left there, saying, "Look out for
yourself, Iiob!" shot him dead. Billy
then gathered up tneir weipons, forced
the people at the hacienda to cut the
shackles from him, which was done at a
blacksmith shop, and compclcd them to
lasso and saddle the finest horse in the
corral. Tne animal was a bronca, and
Billy, being stiffened from his shackles
and captivity, on attempting to mount
was thrown. He came down on his feet,
however, had the animal caught again,
and the second attempt was a success,
lie flew away.
Bob Ollinger was one of the nerviest
deputies and best shots in the country,
and was selected as Billy's escort on this
account and he made his boasts to Billy
when he started that lie would "stay"
with him till he swung him from the

swcrcd, "There's many a slip 'twixt cup
and lip." Twenty-four hours after Billy
made his celebrated escape from the ha
cienda he was met by two men who had
been prominent in the Lincoln county
war, in opposition to Billy. Just -what
occurred there was never known either,
but the dead bodies were found, pierced
with bullets, by the pursuing party that
had organized and gone after Billy. For
several months nothing was heard of
him, and it was supposed that he had
gone to South America or Mexico. If
he had, the last tragic scenc in his eventful
life would in all probability never
have been written. On the banks of the
Bio Pecos, in one of the most beautiful
spots in the valley, Fort Stunner was
built. It was for a long time an important
post, and was at one period the reservation
for the exploits of Kit Carson
and his old comrade hunter, Indian
fighter and trapper Maxwell.
The post, with its magnificent orchards,
vineyards, grand avenues of alamedas
(coitonwoods) lining its approaches,
line buildings, etc., was finally
abandoned by the government, and was
purchased by Maxwell, who had married
a wealthy Spanish lady, obtaining bv
the union possession of the celebrated
Maxwell land grant. llcrc he lived,
surrounded by his family, peons, retainers
and vast herds. lie died, leaving a 1

In cases of heat or sunstroke lay the 0

('arc of the Piano. I
Any hard substance, no matter how '
small, dropped inside a piano, will causc I
a rattling, jarring noise. It is, in every <
case, desirable that an India rubber or i
clolh covcr should protcct the instru- i
mcnt from bruises and ^scratches. The '
piano should not be placed in a damp i
room or left open in a draught of cold i
air. Dampness is its most dangerous I
enemy, causing its strings and tuning
pipes to rust, the cloth used in construe- j
tion of the kejs and action to swell, I
whereby the mechanism will move slug- ]
gishly or often stick altogether. This
occurs chiefly in the summer season, and j
the best pianos are necessarily alTccted i
by dampness, the absorption being rapid. 1
Extreme heat being scarcely less in iu- i
rious. ths piano should not be placed
very near an open fire or heated stove,
nor over or close, to the hot air furnace. 1
Moths are very destructive to the cloth 1
and felt used iu the piano, and may be
kept out of it by placing a lump of cam- 1
phor, wrapped in soft paper, in the inside
of it, care being taken to renew it '
from time to time. Many persons arc J
aware of the great importance of hnvins 1
their pianos kept :n order, and tuned '
only by a competent tuner. A new piano ]
should be tuned at least once every three 1
or four months during the first year, and '
at longer intervals afterward.

Dhurchlll, who was one of the brightest 1

af the attractive features at a recent

hot-headed but generous, was one of the

was executing some brilliant dash on

Lord Churchill. In a feminine lisp the
tall 3'oung man remarked for his lordship's
ears: "Deuced fine music, you
know; but it lacks the weal soul, it lacks
the weal soul!" Churchill gave him a
half contemptuous glance. The tall
young man still dispensed his lisp, lie had
nothing original to say, but his criticisms
made up for what they lacked in
that direction by silly personality. lie
was in delightful ignorance of the identity
of his listener, and seemed amazed
by the spirit of a low phrase that finally
flew into his cars sounding very like
this: "For a shilling I'd wallop the life
out of you here on the spot." A soothing
panacea to wounded feelings came
to the tall young man on the following
day, when a card unexpectedly invited
him to the Churchill drawing room. lie
wasn't long in responding. Neither was
he long in departing, lie got no further
than the hall. A burly young
man met him there. It was the same

his lispings last night?Lord Kandolph

In October, 1787, af'cr his return to
Vienna, Mozart produced his greatest
opera, "Don Giovanni." As late as the
night before the performance the overture
had not been copied. Mozart wrote
on until late into the night, and his wife
could only keep him awake by telling
him the old fairy talcs, such as he loved
when a child; at times he would break
from laughter to tears, until, growing
more and more weary, he fell asleep. At
7 the next morning he arose and finished
the score, the ink in some paris being
scarcely dry when the copies wero placed
on the musicians' desks. The musicians
had to play the overture at sight,
but its beauties aroused the greatest enthusiasm
both in the players and in the

lisorders ever discovered. We have testinjolials
from ladies of the highest rank, but it
would be indelicate to publish them. Likewise
many statesmen, lawyers, clergymen,
loctors ot worldwide fame have been cured,
}ut we can only refer to such persons in tho
uost guarded terms, as we do in our reading
irticles."
"Are thes j reading articles successful?"
"When read they make such an impression
lhat when the 'evil dayB' of ill health draw
ligh they are remembered, and Warner's safe
:ure is used."
"No, sir, it is not necessary ttotir, as at first,
to do cucli constant and extensive advertising.
A meritorious medicine sells Itself after Its
merits aro known. We present jilst evidence
mough io disarm skeptics and to impress the
norits of tho remedies upon now consumers.
We feel it to bo our duty to do this. Hence,
best to accomplish our mission of healing the
sick, we have to use the readlng-ftrtlcle style.
People won't read plain testimonials"
"Yes, sir, thousands admit that had they
not learned of Warner's safe cure through
this clever style they would still be ailing
ind still impoverishing themselves in fee? to
unsuccessful 'practitioners.' It would do
pour soul good to read the letters of thanksjiving
we get from mothers grateful for the
porfect success which attends Warner's safe
:ure when used for children, aui tho surprised
gratification which men and women of
alder years and Impaired vigor, testify to the
youthful feelings restored to them by the
same mean*."
"Aro those good efforts permanent?"
"Of all the eases of kidney, liver, urinary
ind female diseases we have cured, not two
per cent, of them report a return of their
disorders. Who else can show such a record?"
"Wlmt Is the secret of Warner's safe curs
permanently reaching so many serious diaDrilers:"
"I will explain by an illustration: The
little town of Plymouth, I'a., has been
plague stricken for soveral months because
its water supply was carelessly poisoned.
I'ho kidnevs and liver aro the sources of
physical well-being. If polluted by disease,
all tlio blood b?comes poisoned and every
argan is affected and (his (/rent danger
threatens overt/ one, who neglects to treat
himself promptly. I was nearly dead myself
of oxtreini kidney disease, but what is
now Warner's safe cure cured me, and I
know it is the only remedy in the world that
can cure suck disorders, for I tried everything
else in vain. Cured by it myself, I
bought it and, from a sense of duty, presented
it to the world. Only by restoring tho kidneys
and liver can disease leave the blood
md the svstem."
A celebrated sanitarian physician onca
said to me: "Tho secret of the wonderful
success of Warner's safe cure is that it is sovprign
over all kidney, liver and urinary diabases,
which primarily or secondarily make
up tho majority of human ailments. Like all
great discoveries it is remarkably simple."
The house of H. H. Warner & Co. stands
ieservedly high in Rochester, and it is corbainly
inattsr of congratulation that merit
lias boon recognized all over the world, and
that this success has been unqualifiedly deserved.
Pen Point.
Not a Poetical riant.
On most English peaty patches there
2rows a little reddish-leaved, odd looking
plant known as sundew. It is but
in inconspicuous small weed, and yet
literary and scientific honors have bccu
heaped upon its head to an extent almost
unknown in the case of almost any other
member of tho British floral commonwealth.
Mr. Swiuburne has addressed
in ode to it, find Mr. Darwin has written
i learned book about it. Its portrait has
Km innnmorohln nrficfra
UUl'U OlVClVHttU K/J luuuiiiviuu.u ? k|W?w
ind its biography narrated by innumerable
authors. And all this attention has
l>ccn showered upon it not because it is
beautiful, or good, ormodest, orretiring,
but simply and solely because it is atrocious
and deliberately wicked. Like the
late .Mr. Pcaco. and the heroes of the
Newgate calendar, it owes its vosfue entirely
to its murderous propensities. SunSew,
in fact, is the best known and most
easily accessible of the carnivorous and
iuscctivorou3 plants. The leaf of the sundew
is round and flat, and is covcrcd by
a number of small red glands; which
act as the attractive advertisement
to the misguided midge3.
Their knobby ends are covered with a
glutinous secretion which glistens like
lioney in the sunlight, and so gains for
Ihe plant its common English name.
But the moment a hap'ess fly, attracted
by hopes of meat or nectar, settles quietly
in its midst, on hospitable thoughts intent,
the viscid liquid holds him tight
immediately, and clog3 his legs and
wings, so that he is snared exactly as a
peregrine is snared with bird liine. Then
the leaf with all its "rcdlipped mouths"
(I will own up that the expression is Mr.
Swinburne's, ubi supra) closes over him
s'owly but surely, and crushes him by
folding its edgas inward gradually toward
the center. The fly often lingers
long with ineffectual struggles, while the
cruel, crawling leaf pours forth a digestive
fluid?a vegetable gastric juice as it
were?and dissolves him alive piecemeal
in its hundred clutching suckers. I have
;een this mute tragedy enacted a thousmd
times over 011 the bogs and moorlands;
and though I often try to release
:hc fresh flies from their ghastly living
)ut inaniiLitc prison, it is impossible to

ECZEMA!
My wife has hern sorely afflicted with Eczema or
Salt Rheum from infancy. Wo tried every known
remedy, but to no avail. She was also afflicted with
a periodical nervous headache, sometimes followed
by on Intermittent fever, so that her life became a
burden to her. Finally I determined to trvS. S. S.
She commenced seven weeks ago. After the third
bottle the Inflammation disappeared, And sore spots
dried up and turned white and scaly, ami finally she
brushed them ofT In an Imptdpable white powder resembling
pure salt. She Is now Inking the sixth bottle;
evi-ry appearance of the disease Is cone and her
flesh Is soft and white as a child's. Iter headaches
have disappeared and she enjots the only good heallh
she has known In 40 years. No wonder she deems
every bottle of S. S. S. Is worth a thousand times its
weight In gold. JOHN F. BRADI.EY.
