In biiannon county, Ma, lives a man
k&a performed more real and marvelous
feats of marksman&hip than even those
wua wtucn Dr. Carver Las of late boon
aatouiEhing the world. The name of
this wonderful handler of the rifle is
Adam Gohtie,
Borne of the feats which he has per
formed nem imixilU He has
broken class balls out of 800 in
twelve minutes with a forty-four caliber
Winthefcter riflfj. Ho can break 100
glass balls five times out of six, without
a cubs, in throe minutes. These feats
&re unparalleled, and surpass Dr.
Carver's wonderful 6hootintr. A seem
ingy-incrediblo feat that ho performs is
as ' follows : A soda-water bottlo is
thrown into the air in a certain manner,
ana oeioro it tails uoidie will send a
bullet down the neck of a bottle and
make a hole iu the bottom. There are
ether feats that he performs with bot
tles. At fifty-yards' distance a bottle is
placed on a forked tong, and (ioldio
will send six bullets in rapid succession
down the neck and through the bottom,
only perforating the latter in one piace
At loner dibtances this marvelous
maiksman pei forms just as marvelous
leats.
At 1,000 yards he will hit the center
or tlie bull s-eye, and then send six bul
lets one after the other, hitting the
very indent mado by the first. A potato
thrown xn the air Goldio will perforate
with six bullet-holes before it reaches
the ground. Perhaps the most aston
iehing feat ia his breaking two balls at
once. This is done in the following
manner: Two balls are thrown cross
wise, and as they pass each other on
their course, with quick, unerring aim
and lightning-like rapidity, Goldie will
speed a bullet through both.
Some live vears ago Goldie left his
native county of Shannon, where he is
engaged in cattle-raising, for North
western Texas, where he passed two
years, and there one of the most excit
ing incidents of his career happened.
His fame as n maiksman among the
Texans eoon became notorious. In the
viciuitv of Goldie's ranche lived one
William Darrell, or. as he was more fa
miliarlv termed. Bloody Bill. This
Bloody Bill was a nofed ruffian and des
perado, a recklees dare-devil. His feats
in marksmanship were likewise astound
ing, and probably no man in the Lone
Star State excelled him in handling the
rifle. Bloody Bill had been engaged in
many deeds of daring, and was nearly
always mixed up in some row or squab
ble. He had already killed three 2ien,
and his numerous acts of ruffianism had
mado him the terror of the frontier. Few
cared to cross his path, as his dangerous
character and dexterity with a rilie were
well known. Goldie had met Bill on
several occasions, but had never been
involved in any difficulty with him.
Knowing his turbulent disposition, he
always sought to avoid, him,' On one
Sumtay, however, Goldie waa sitting in
company with a score of Texans, who
were spending a couvivial hour in a mild
carouse, when Bill rodo up and joined
the party. Of late he had become quite
jealous of Goldie's notoriety as a marks
man, and had frequently spoken dispar
agingly of the latter. For some time
the party passed the time convivially
enough, without anything happening
to mar the harmony of the sociability.
At last the Texans began to relate some
of their reminiscences, and Goldie com
menced relating, narrating an incident
that had occurred to him. Bill, who
had drunk heavily of the whisky, and
became rather moody in the midst of
the narration, suddenly jumped to his
feet and exclaimed, " Goldie, you are a
liar, and ," at the same
time striking a blow at him. All was
instantly commotion. The whole party
were on their feet, and revolvers were
drawn. Goldie demanded satisfaction
for the insult, and Bloody Bill, with a
hind ; tlo ' tree,-'endeavoring to get sight niMMi ln time for Conirreas to rnak n

again advance, and the former stepped
rapidly to the front and quickly brought
his rifle into position. Almost simul
taneously the clear, share retort of two
rifles rang on the air and both men fell.
Goldie managed to raise himself and
crawl behind the trunk of the tree. He
had been wounded in the left shoulder.
Presently he was joined by the Texans
who had been witnesses of this most ex
citing duel. They had already ridden
over to Bloody Bill and found him dead.
A bullet had penetrated his temple.
(Jen. Sherman's Domestic Troubles.
Gen. Sherman has not crone out into
New Mexico, with the border troubles in
his mind, but has sought novelty, and
tho excitement of traveling as a distrac
tion. Y lthm the last six months Gen.
Sherman has grown old very fast. Tho
attempt to reduce the army wore upon
him more than one would suppose it
would, but the crushing weight was the
departure of his favoiite son for a Eu
ropean monastery. Most people do not
know that the General is as much or a
foe to Catholicism as his wife is a friend,
and the reason that he lives apart from
his family ho in Washington and they
m bt. Louis is that he will not tolerate
the presence of a priest under the same
roof with him. .
Mrs. Sherman is the most ardent and
active lay worker that the Pope has in
America; she stands high in the counsels
of the church, both at home and abroad;
and her name is as laminar in lionie as
the name of St. Agatha, although she
was never there in her life. She Is the
trustee in this country of "Peter's
pence'' the offerings of devout Catho
lics to the Pope's private treasury and,
shortly before he died, on tho occasion
of the anniversary of his Pontificate, the
late Pius IX. sent her a rosary of eolid
cMd, with a fragment of "the true
cress set in the crucifix as a gem.
On the contrary, Gsn. Sherman hates
a priest with a profound hatred; but
Mrs. Sherman was a Catholic before ho
married her the Ewings are all Ctaho
lies and, while his married life has al
ways been a happy one, he has never
been able to abide with a priest, and
Mrs. Sherman has never beeu able to
abido without one.
Thomas Ewing Sherman, the oldest
son, was intended by the General for
the bar, and he was educated at George
town College, a Catholic institution,
chosen by Mrs. Sherman, and afterward
at the lale Law School, an institution
chosen by his father. After he gradu
ated at lale, he went to his mother's
house in, St. Louis, and entered the law
office of the Hon. Samuel Reber. The
second son Gen. Sherman wants to make
a soldier of, and the boy, now at the
age of 14 years, is well read in tho whole
library of 'military history, and can de
scribe in detail all the military opera
tions of the war. There are but two
sons, and Mrs. Sherman had fixed her
mother's heart on having one of them
for the church. To any suggestion of
this he would not listen, and she knew
him well enough to realize that an ar
gument on the subject would do no
good. But, while the eldest son has had
his eyes on his law-book3, his mother
has been inspiring in him an ambition
to distinguish himself in tho priesthood,
and not until his conviction was formed,
and his plans decided upon, did his
father have the slightest suspicion of a
change of intentions. When the decis
ion was announced to him, Gen. Sher
man is said to have groaned with sorrow,
and he has not fince seen his wife or
son. Washington Cor. Chicaao Inter

appropriation, still everything, la .'being

penditure of money.. Medical officers
are required to assist the civil health
authorities when requested to do so,
The Burgeon General says :
The weight of scientific evidence
seems to warrant the conclusion that yel
low fever is produced by an invisible
poison, capable or seii-muiu plication
outside of the human organism, which
it enters through the air passages. The
poison germ or miasma is a production
of the tropics. In this country yellow
fever has prevailed in most ox the Gulf
and Atlantic cities, and in many of the
towns along the JVlississippi river. In
some instances it has been carried in
land with the people fleeing from the
infected localities, but it has never
shown a disposition to spread epidern
ically at points remote from tho contin
uous water roads of commerce, or to
lodge in high, salubrious places. The
cities of the great lakes have always been
free from the disease, lellow fever
cannot be said to bo endemic in the
United States, lrom the fact that in
some years it does not appear, though
the imported germ undoubtedly sur
vives tho mud winters. It appears to
have as much resistance of cold as the
banana plant when the banana stalk is
killed down by frost. Tho jellow fever
does not recover until again imported.
The germ is transmissible. It is capa
ble of being transported in the clothing
or personal effects of passengers and
sailors, but its spread from one city to
another is chiefly aecomphsheu by ves
sels, their damp, filthy holds and bilge
water being its favorite lurking places.
Confinement, moisture and high tem
perature favor the multiplication or vir
ulence' of tho poison. When a wharf or
spot of ground or a house becomes in
fected, the poison at once commences to
spread, creeping slowly in all possiblo
directions, continually enlarging the
area around the center of infection un
less checked by disinfection, as has un
doubtedly been done by tho use of car
bolic acid in New Orleans in former out
breaks. Yellow fever is not communi
cated from the sick to the well, the 6ick
and well being dangerous only as possi
ble carriers of tho poison germ or
miasm. In support of this assertion it
may be stated that at quarantine hospi
tals, where the effects of yellow-fever
patients are burned or otherwise thor
oughly disinfected before the admission
of the patients, the attendants do not
contract the disease. This has been
demonstrated many times. All well per
sons whose effects have been disinfected
may be considered harmless after six or
seven days have elapsed from the time
of leaving an infected district or vessel.
as the period of incubation of the disease
lasts from two to six days."

scornful laugh, suggested that they had
better ma.ke it a trial oi tneir respective
skill with the rifle. The idea was caught
up by the Texans, and after a short con
sultation they decided that a duel should
be fought, but, in consequence of the
extraordinary skill of the pa;ties, at a
long distance. On the open prairies,
about two miles distant, grew two post
oak trees. They were 420 yards apart,
and were the only trees on that spot.
All around was open, timberless prairie.
It was decided that Goldie and Bill
should both take their rifles and each
tako up a position behind the respective
trecM, and then blaze away at each
othe?. The Texans hoped by these
means to prevent bloodshed, or at least
to prevent a fatal termination to the duel
The preliminaries being settled, the
whole party mounted their horses and
rode out on the prairio to the selected
spot. Goldie took up his position be
hind one of the trees, and Bill ensconsed
himself behind the other. The remain
xd g party of the crowd then rode to a slight
undulating eminence to the right, wher
they were to remain as spectators. One
of them was to give the signal for the
beginning of the combat by firing his
rifiWn the air, and the report was to be
the signal to the duelists to begin with
their bloody work. Goldie waited anx
iously the detonation of the rifle, which
suddenly sounded on the air.
Then commenced the dHel at the long

vanced from behind the tree in a hneel
ing posture, when, whiz 1 his sombrero
was perforated by a ball from Bloody
Bill's rifle. Quick as lightning he
dropped at full length on the ground in
time to escape the two other bullets
which came in rapid succession. He
lay still, brought his rifle into position,
as he was stntched upon the ground,
and then remained immovable. Pres
ently he-saw ft diminutive figure which
he knew to be Bill (who was nearly one
inch taller than Goldie) advancing can
tiouly from the shelter of the tree.
Quickly taking aim he fired twice in
succession and then retired behind the
sheltering trunk. One of the bullets he
afterwards discovered had' passed
through tho lobe of. Bill's left ear.
There was a cessation now of firing for

An Old 3Iau Kills Three Snakes.
Old "Uncle" Brown is a resident o
Jackson county, Mo., of long standing
and many acquaintances. He lives
about two miles south of Rosedale, and
although 78 years old is as active as a
man of CO. He was on Tuesday walk
ing about his farm when, in making his
way through some brush, he was startled
by the warning rattle of a snake. Look
ing down, he saw not only one but three
large rattlesnakes, erect and ready to
strike. Mr. Brown carried a stout stick
in his hand, and whirled it once around
his head and then struck the foremost
rattler such a swinging blow that he laid
him out on the spot, but before he could
again raise his hand the second snake
darted its fangs into the middle finger of
his left hand.
He then killed the second one in the
same manner, and the third glided be

You will find, if yoa carefully examino
a bird s wing, that all the bones and
muscles are placed along the front edge,
which is thus made very stiff and strong.
The quill feathers are fastened iu such n
way that they point backward, so that
the hind edge of the wiDgis not stiff like
the front edge, but is flexible and bends
at the least touch. As the air is not a
solid, but a gaff, it has a tendency to
slide out from under the wing when this
is driven downward, and of course it will
do this at the point where it can escape
most easily. Since tho front edge of
tho wing is stifT and strong, it retains its
hollow shape, and prevents tho air from
sliding out in this direction, but the
pressure of the air is enough to bend up
the thin, flexible ends of the feathers at
the hinder border of tho wing, so the air
makes its escape there, and slides out
backward and upward. The weight of
the bird is all the time pulling it down
toward the earth; so, at the tame time
that the air slides out upward and back
ward past the bent edge of the wing, tho
wing itself, and with it the bird, slides
forward and downward off from the con
fined air. It is really its weight which
causes it to do this, so that the statement
that a bird flies by its own weight is
strictly true.
This is true, also, of insects and bats.
They all have " wings with stiff front
edges, and flexible hind edges which
bend and allow the air to pass out, so
that flying is nothing but sliding down a
hill made of air. A. bird rises by flap
ping) its wings, and it flies by falling
back toward the earth and sliding for
ward at the same time. At the end of
each stroke of its wings it has raised it
self enough to make up for the distance
it has fallen since the last stroke, and
accordingly it stays at the same height
and mover forward in a seemingly
straight line. But if you watch the
flight of those birds which flap their
wings-slowly, such as the woodpecker.
you can eee them rise and fall, and will
nave no trouble in seeing that their path
is not really a straight line, but is mado
up of curves; although most birds flap
their wings so rapidly that they have no
time to fall through a space great
enough to be seen. Birds also make use
of the wind to aid them in flight, and by
holding their wings inclined like a kite,
so that tho wind shall slide out under
them, they can sail great distances with
out flapping their wings at alL They
are supported, as ft paper kite is, "by the
wind, which is continually pushing
against their wings, and sliding out
backward and downward, thus lifting or
holding up the bird, and at the same
time driving it forward.
The birds are not compelled to face
the wind while they are sading, but, by
changing the position of the wings a
little, they can go in whatever direction
they wish, much as a boy changes his
direction in skating by leaning a little
to one side or the other. Some birds
are very skillful at this kind of sailing,
and can even remain stationary in the
air for some minutes when there is a
strong " wind ; hd they do this without
Capping their wings at all. It is ft dif
ficult tning to do, and no birds except
the most skillful flyers can manage it.
Borne, hawks can do it, and gulls and
terns may often be seen practicing it

as follows : "I want to know what the
commission is to accomplish. The
gentleman to whom the dispatches were
sent then went to the White House for
information. He admits that he did not
see President Haves, but crot information
from some source which constrained him
to reply as follows : " The commission
is to be organized to accomplish bv diD-
lomacy that which otherwise would re

the statement." This, however, did not
seem to satisfy the Nicholls men, for it
was followed by another dimmtch of
eighty words or more, reciting that the
information wanted from tho President
was whether Nicholls claims were or
were not to be jeopardized, and that,

it was sent acrain went to the White
House and the telecrram was shown to

it should be answered, when he was re
minded that it was then after 8 o clock.
His attention was also called to the fact
that tho writer of the telegram at the
New Orleans end sicrned his name as
Adjutant General of the White League,
and that it was unmistakably official.

citing what the President told him, sent
the following reply : "I have authority

A new and successful mode of swin

county, Pa. A notion peddler named

to the spot The peddler pointed out a
large oak as the ono ho saw in his vision.
It was apparently sound'at the butt. but.
about twenty feet up, a limb had been
broken off. Mr. Logue did not feel like
humoring what ho supposed to be a su

such confidence in his vision that he
offered Mr. Logue one-half of the spoils
if ho would help him cut down the tree.
IIo did so. When the tree fell there
was a rattle cf coics near where the
limb had been broken off, and a email
hollow was found. Ensconsed therein
were loads of rilver. Both seemed to
be wild with delight, and, ou counting
up, found the pile amounted to Jo, 000.

How High Can Men Live I
" Mr. Webber states that in Thibet he
lias lived for mouths together at a height
of more than 15,000 feet above the level
of the sea, and that the result was as
follows : Ilis pulse, at norranl heights
only sixty-three per minute, seldom fell
below 100 per minute during tho, whole
time he was at that level.- Ilia respira
tions were often twice as numerous in
the minute as they nro at ordinary, lev
els. A run of 100 yards would quicken
both pulse and respiration more than
a run of 1,000 yards at the sea level,
and the higher the level the greater the
difficulty of walking or running fast.
lie crossed the shoulder of the Guria
Mandhata at a height of Home 20,000
feet, and found the greatest difficulty in
getting his breath quickly enough ; had
frequent and violent headaches, and
