Midges in the Sunshine.
If I could see with a midge's eye,
Or think with a midge's brain,
I wonder what I'd say of the world,
With all its joy and pain ?
Would my seven brief hours of mortal life
Seem long as seventy years,
As I danced in the flickering sunshine
Amid my tiny peers ?
Should I feel the slightest hope or care
For the midge vet to be,
Or think I died before my time
If I died at half-past three,
Instead of living till set sun
On the breath of the summer wiud,
Or deem that the world was made for me
And all my little kind?

Latest Styles and Fabrics.
A beneficent result of the Centennial
was to popularize goods of American
manufacture. Wash fabrics of every
conceivable style and finish are in high
vogue. Ladies of this section, instead
of sweltering in summer silks, pongees,
poplins, or even silk-lined grenadines,
have taken refuge in the airy muslins,
chambres, cambrics, percales, and even
bunting cloths, in short, to dress comfortably,
just as they do in New Orleans
ami Paris.
These materials are frequently made
Tip iii the princesse fashion, which is
really a prominent feature in the constitution
of existing styles, and quite as
suitable for these simple fabrics as for
the more costly ones, and likely to continue
iii favor for many seasons.
The primitive form is much like the
Gabrielle of past seasons, only, to secure
the long, slender, glove-fitting effect,
plaits are omitted, as in the Marguerite
back, and the seams prolonged over the
hips, and considerably below the waistline,
back and front, following the center
of the figure with scrupulous exactness.
An opening at the side, separating the
back from the front, simulating a polonaise,
is a very pretty arrangement for
the street.
A pretty walking prince^se, just clearing
the ground, as is the latest style, is
finished with a succession of narrow
ruffles put in straight around the depth
of the knee, some with a French 6ack,
or a small fichu cape at the back, and
crossed in front, the ends prolonged and
knotted at the back into graceful sashes.
The dolman bearing the same name is at
all times a stylish and fitting accessory
a fl?ft lAvinnaccn
Nothing could be more desirable for
general service than a costume of bunting
made after this fashion, trimmed
with narrow box-plaited flounces cut
crosswise, fringed out one-fourth of an
inch at the bottom. Sleeves, revers and
pockets are trimmed en suite, and worn
with a Corday cape, or triangular fichu.
Nothing could be more exquisitely
elegant for midsummer than a princesse
of Mexicaine grenadine, finished with
full plaitings of French lace. Many
ladies have ou hand a half-worn black
silk, no matter if the cashmere finish
be worn to a satiny luster; all the better,
so it be strong enough to cut a princesse,
and over an entirely new lining, will
last quite well, and look as nice as
new under a profusion of narrow boxplaited,
lace-trimmed grenadine ruffles,
supplemented by a diagonal scarf ar- j
rangement, and be ar immense saving i
in the matter of material cost. If desira- I
ble, the throat may be cut square, and j
filled in with transparent pullings and i
the sleeves puffed over a thin lining,
showing the whiteness of neck and arms.
A French muslin, cambric or thin silk
of delicate tint, pale pink, buff, blue or
lavender, made into a princesse slip,
may serve as a beautiful groundwork for
- V A-M A X. I .1 I
a uouse ioiiei;f 10 oe wurii uuuer wuitc
or black fabrics which have not enough
body to sustain themselves.
Tnese pretty, inexpensive suits can be
so easily contrived at home, usually
from the odds and ends of lace, silk or
muslin one ha3 on hand. One pleasing j
thing about the styles is that they favor
the utilization of materials which would j
otherwise be considered insufficient and j
useless.
The princesse, for reception and I
evening wear, is called the Farreur j
dress, and is the special favorite in four \
continents.
Kobes de chambre, in the princesse |
style, having shirter trains, are orna- i
mented with fancy pockets, and a jabot !
of luce and ribbons extending from neck
to toe. Indian cashmere, striped with j
various colors, forming an irregular pat- j
tern, trimmed with bands of Indian em- ;
broidery, are used for making these >
dresses.
A lovely prmcesse for the house may ;
be made of the summer silks, with hairliue
stripes of self color, or some prettily !
contrasting shade trimmed with a profu- I
sion of pinked out ruffles, which impart j
an aerial effect to the simplest toilet. i
Morning robes of tinted chambre, 1
braided or embroidered with white j
thread or floss, or trimmed with bands J
of Hamburg embroidery, are desirable
for lady mothers, whose* duties involve |
frequent changes.
THE PLASTROX.
This is a feature of the latest styles of
trimmings, characteristic and yet dis- I
tinctive. There are plastron backs and
plastrons square, heart-shaped, round, {
cornered and pointed; short, defining ;
the curve of the chest and lung, like ,
vests. They are made of all manner of
materials, and worn with all manner of i
dresses. Few models seem complete
without them. A new fancy is that of |
p tting plastrons and cuffs of cardinal
red in tilluel silk in black silk sacks,
white the richest dresses have a plastron
of fine lace laid over u brilliantly contrasting
color.
THE BRETON COSTUME.
A distinguishing feature peculiar to
this costume is the plastron vest, fastened
underneath the buttons of the jacket
011 the right side*; buttoned by invisible
buttons and buttonholes.
Sequin buttons having eyes only in I
one edge are very convenient for trimming
these dresses ; though ordinary j
buttons of silver and steel filagree, i
Japanese lacquer, vegetable, ivory and
mother-of-pearl, set in like scales, one
above another, are used.
The broad pocket-flaps, the distinguishing
straps on the back of both the
jacket and the tunic, are trimmed with
galloons of self-colored grounds, embroidered
in white floral patterns. The
bottom of the tunic is trimmed with a
large cord or piping covered with the
distinctive contrasting color of the galloon.
A princesse with Breton vest of velvet
embroidered in gold is a novelty for
full dress. These Breton vests are
made as if molded to fit the figure.
The most desirable Breton suits are
made of black silk and cashmere, trimmed
with buttons, in clusters, and embroidered
bands, all black or else in
fancy colors. Indian designs are rich
beyond compare, and the da8h of color
is a great relief to the sombre uniformity
of its absence.

WRAPS.
This term seems to characterize every
variety of outer garments now-a-davs,
large or small, heavy or light. The
new shapes, however, fall naturally into
classes.
First, come those designed to wear
with the princesse dress, which are much
smaller than wraps for general service.
The new dolman, of which much has
been written, and th? Charlotte Corday
fichu, round at the back, the fronts
crossed and knotted into graceful sash
ends, are particularly adapted to the
princesse, or even to I he polonaise for
the street. They are pretty, of silk, drap
d'cte, or sicilienne, hice or grenadine, of
muslin, or crcpe de chines, made of
black or cream color, or a tint to match
the costume.
French sacks are being worn close
over the toumure with double-breasted
fronts, that button their whole length.
A broad facing of silk is set on down the
front to make a substantial rest for buttons
and buttonholes.
Shawls, folded triangularly, are once
more fashionably worn.
Those who have lace mantillas sometimes
drape them as an overdress tor full
toilet, or bunch them in the shoulders
to simulate a fichu, leaving the back to
fall into a graceful Arab and crossing the
tabs under a cluster of flowers in front.
Flowers of all kinds, both natural and
artificial constitutes a principle feature
in garnitures as well as in millinery.
Fans, panires, brooches, pendants and
all sorts of exquisite trifles are made of
them, to say nothing of hats formed
entirely of birds and blossoms of the
most striking contrasts of color.
Latma.
Turkish Cavalry in Armenia.
The Russian army in Armenia had a
force of 15,000 regular cavalry covering
its advance. Mukhtar Pasha, during the
first month of his campaign, could
scarcely conduct a respectable reconnoissance
to ascertain where the enemy was
massed, for he had no cavalry. A regiment
of 500 mounted Circassians and
fifty Kurd horsemen, under the command
of 5loussa Passha, were sent from Erzerum
to Soughanlu. A correspondent
describes their entry into camp. They
came filing two deep in a long column,
over the hill side, each of the five squadrons
having a crimson or parti-colored
red-and-white banner at its head, blazoned
with a white crescent and star. The
men wore tlie long Circassian tunic,
reaching to the middle calf, and confined
at the waist by an embroidered belt,
supporting the usual gnardless cimeter
and long dagger with primitive leafshaped
blade, beside the accustomed
supply of highly ornamented pistols,
pipes and silver mounted bozes. The
tunics were mostly black or dark olive,
though there was a sprinkling of bright
saffron, green and crimson, especially
among the chiefs and princes. They
wore the usual Circassian head-dress, a
red or white ' all cap surrounded by a
mop-like covering of black or brown
Astrachan fur, concealing all but the top
of the inner cap. Both sides of the breast
are covered by double horizontal rows of
wooden or silver cartridge tubes, according
to the social position of the individual.
Each man carried at his back a sixteenshooting
Winchester rifle, and many,
loth to part with their ancestral weapons,
carried in addition the quaint-looking,
straight stocked, eilver-ringed, flint-lock
of his native mountains. Next day came
the Kurds, still more nicturesnue than
the Circassians, with their huge bright
tinted turbans, and crimson and blue
flowing garments showing through light
muslin and silk mantles. Extravagantly
wide trowsers and red leather boots
turned up at the toe completed the attire.
The armament consisted of the Winchester
rifle, curved cimeter, and long leedlike
lance, which they shook and
brauished till it quivered like a vibrating
string. These troops were subsequently
defeated by the Russians, between^ the
mountains and Kars.
Poetical Lynchers iu the Black Hills.
A correspondent sojourning in the
Black Hills writes as follows from Bapid
City, D. T.: When we came to this
town everything seemed quiet and peaceful,
but upon the ridge, a mile west of
town, near a large pine tree, were the
bodies of three young men with ghastly
blackened faces turned upward toward
the clear blue sky, the ropes dangling
from the limbs of the pine tree, and the
iloati mil. in tlmir nonl-a olirm-iiiiT Vinf fnn
plainly how they died. During the day
two or three men went out northwest
from town to get some ]#gs, and were
surprised, when about four miles out,
by people whom they supposed to be
Indians, judging by the way they rode
their horses. Being with an ox team
the men left it and run for the woods,
and by taking a circuitous route came
into Rapid nearly scared to death. A
party of fifteen well armed men immediately
started out, and found, seven or
eight miles out, three white men asleep,
with four horses picketed near them.
They surrounded them, covered them
with their rifles, and awoke them. They
were taken to town, and when examined
confessed that the liases were stolen at
Crook. They were \ placed in a log
cabin for the nighl^; but about three
o'clock in the morning a band of twenty
vigilants -took them out, and when'the
people tof the town arose there they
were hanging dead, in plain sight of
town. They were buried in the evening.
The following is to be their epitaph :
A. J. Allen, Louis Curry, Jas. Hall,
Age 35 years. Age 29 years. Ago 19 years.
HOUSE THIEVES BEWAEE.
Here lies the body of Curry, Allen and Hall,
LOKe otner tmeves, tnoy nau uieir rise, aecune
and fall ;
On von pine treo they hung till dead.
And here they found a lonely bed.
Then be a little cautious how you gobble horses
up,
For every horse you pick up here adds sorrow
to your cup;
We're bound to stop this business, or hang you
to a man,
For we've hemp and hands enough in town to
Bwing the whole clan.
War's Strange Inventions.
The present war, slow though it is in
its progress, will have the effect of
quickening inventive minds. It is very
clear that a most serious addition to the
perils of Daval warfare has been made
by the invention of the torpedo, and it
has become essentially necessary for a
great maritime power to guard against
this invention. Several schemes have
beq^ suggested, such as surrounding
iron-clads with nets, giving them a convoy
of small gunboats, and so forth. But
these would so encumber the movements
of the vessels, and diminish their speed,
that they would be practically unavailable.
The latest proposal is to meet explosive
force by light. There are two sorts
x t - - n l i
wi wrpfuuua, biiuiiuw-wuier iuiuc? ium
down for defense upon the ground in
| deptliB varying from three to forty
fatlioins, and the torpedo launch and
locomotive mine for deep sea attack. It
is the latter which is so formidable. It
is launched by skilled engineers, under
cover of darkness, and if successfully
laid may prove the destruction of the
most powerful monitor afloat. It is now
i proposed to have a cordon of light
around ships, which, while the surrounding
water would be illuminated, would
keep the ships themselves in darkness.
It is stated that within the last, few
weeks an adaptation of Holmes' distress
| signal has been iuvented, which will answer
the required purpose. It is tired
from mortars at ranges varying from live
hundred to two thousand live hundred
J yards. It emits a very powerful white
light directly it comes into contact with
J the water, and when once ignited is ab|
solutely inextinguishable either by wind
! or water, and burns with an extraordi.
nary persistency for thirty or forty
I minutes. Half a dozen of these shots
| would surround a vessel with a zone of
j light that would render it impossible for
an enemy to approach without the cer:
tainty of detection and destruction.
TORPEDO BOATS REPULSED.
A Daring Enterprise that Reunited In Din* 1
iiNtcr Tor the ItuHniunH.
A war correspondent, writing from
Pera, says: The adinirality commission
lifts just closed its examination of the
seven Russian prisoners who arrived
here in the Ismail from Sulina. These
are the net proceeds of the torpedo affair
which took place off that port. It had
beon stated here that the commander of
the torpedo expedition was an Englishman,
and the unlucky officer was hardly
in the harbor before the specials marked
him for their own. Interest faded somewhat
when it turned out that he was only
a Russian after all, though he proved to
be well informed, gentlemanly and frank,
and equally interviewable in English,
French or Russian. His name is Puschin,
and he lias been sixteen years in the
Russian navy. At the examination he
gave an interesting account of hiB flotilla
and of the unsuccessful attack upon the
Turkish fleet. The flotilla is composed
of sixteen steam barges, built to steam
at great speed and to draw little water.
The mode of using them is to approach
to within a few yards of the object of
attack, and then launch the torpedo at
it, steaming away in an opposite direction
to avoid being buried undvr the
mass of water thrown Tip by the explosion.
For the attack at Sulina mouth five
boats were used, which were towed down
from Odessa to within eight miles distance
of anchorage of the Turkish squadron,
and then were turned adrift in the
.darkness of the night to work out their
deadly scheme. They made direct for
Snlina, and when the hulls of the Turkish
irou-clads loomed in the black distance
they steered straight down upon
them. They were already within a few
yards of their prey when a sudden check
was felt, which the men on board the
\ 1? 1.1 ?a. i J. i A ri.? ?

second or two the boat which Puschin
commanded, and which led the way,
struggled over the hidden obstacle, and
Puschin was just preparing to launch his
torpedo against the iron-clad corvette
[jadie, when that vessel opened such an
infernal fire that Puschin said it surpassed
anything ho could have imagined.
What became of the other boats Puschin
has no idea. He saw their progress
checked like that of his own boat, and
Ihea he saw the other iron-clads pouring
out thunder and lightning upon them.
Just at that moment, when he had his
torpedo in the water, and was on the very
poiut of propelling it against the Ijadie,
a shot from that vessel struck it and it
exploded. High aloft in the air rose a
column of water, which as it sank bacl?
nearly swamped his boat, and put his fires
almost out. He tried to steam away, but
his machinery was damaged and the boat
would not go. There and then accordingly
Puschin scuttled her, and he and
his crew, gilt with cork belts, threw
themselves into the stream amid a hailstorm
of shot, both small and great.
When the launch sank the firing ceased,
and boats were put off from the fleet and
picked up Puschin and his crew, and conveyed
them on board the Ijadie, whence
they were transferred to the Ismail and
sent to Constantinople.
The check which defeated the Russian
scheme was due to a precaution of Hobart
Pasha's device. Sentinel boats
were placed round the fleet, and between
each of these hung a slack rope, forming
a cordon all round the squadron. These
j'opes caught the launches, gave the
alarm, and enabled the fleet to open fire
in time. In the course of his examination
Puschin remarked several times upon
the excellent lookout kept on board the
Turkish men-of-war, but for which, as
he justly observed, the whole squadron
would now have been at thebottom of
the sea.
Hospital Scenes.
Behind the Russian army there are
j fifty-four temporary hospitals, with over
] GOO beds in each. To each hospital
eleven surgeons are attached. Every
army division has its own field hospital,
with three surgeons in addition to the
j regimental surgeon. These lield hospiI
tals will iirst. take charge of the sufferer,
j carrying him from the ground where he
j has fought and fallen, on a stretcher, or
: in an ambulance. His wounds will be
' dressed and he will then be sent to the
tempory hospital in the rear to be cared
; fur and cured if cure can be found for
him. The Red Cross Society is more
luxurious in its arrangements, and lucky
will be the man who falls into its handsOn
June 23, the Turkish batteries at
Rustclmk fired upou a hospitnl iu Giurgevo
over which the flag of the Red Cross
j was flying. The shells dropped thick
j and fast, and finally the hospital was
j struck. A surgeon and several Sisters
j of Charity were within at the time, but
there were few, if any, patients in the
wards.
Among the officers who were killed on
the heights opposite Galatz, when the
: Russians crossed the river, was Capt.
Piskiewitcli, a descendant of the famous
commander whose brilliant campaign in
Caucasus is one of the greatest achievements
of the Russian army.
While the Turks were bombarding
Giurgevo, Dr. Garrick, physician to the
embassy at St. Petersburg, stood at the
window of a high tower in the market
place, and watched the shells as they
burst above and below him. When the
whole town was under fire aud'the former
was a conspicuous mark for the Turkish
gunners, the reckless Scotch surgeon
insisted upon "seeing the thing out,"
and his friends fairly had to drag him
away. At the bottom of the town, a
I soldier was struck in tul head by a fragment
of a shell. The doctor ran up to
him and bandaged hi % wounds, working
as coolly and quietly, under the terrible
fire, as he would have done in a hospital,
miles in the rear.
A Severe Goat*
It seems goats are "all the rage " at
I Reading, Pa., and that goat owners are
j daily arrested for violenco done by these
auimals. Under the caption " The Boss
of All the Goats," the Reading Eagle
j describes one who has had the hair
scalded off his hind parts. Says the
Eagle:
Among the number of meu who were
before the mayor last night to answer
I the charge of keeping disorderly and
i maliciously inclined goats, was Thomas
I McNara, residing in East Reading. Mr.
I McNara owns an animal that he considers
j one of the boss goats of the country,
j When quite young the goat begau the
habit of roosting on the housetops, and
this practice has been kept up ever Bince.
It goes by the name of "Harmony."
Harmony does not like children, and a
few weeks ago a little girl was caught be!
tween liis horns nnd rushed down the
j hill about a half square. She was picked
] up nearly frightened to death. Harmony
I has butted three of the neighbors' dogs
j to death, and has shattered as many
; front doors. Mrs. McNara had several
i pots of milk standing on a bench in the
yard, aud the goat gave them "hoodoo"
I and sent them to grass. When she tried
! to beat him, he turned upon her and
hutted her so hard that she raised from
her feet. She scalded him so badly that
considerable hair on the hind end of the
I body dropped off. Mr. McNara said he
tried several times to kill the animal, but
could not. Once he shot at him so close
! that he thought sure he'd drop, but the
i goat held his own. "Then," said the
! owner, " I took pity on him. He has
made so many narrow escapes that I
j determined never to offer him any more
harm. Once a big bulldog attacked him
i and the bulldog dropped. He butted
rlnwn two TKilicemen and escaped their
j revolvers; iu North Heading he was poij
soued, but the old woman gave him salt,
! mustard and warm water, and he got
! over it. It is hard to keep him penned
I up, for he will tear down any kind of a
fence. If somebody gives uk an iron-dad
cell we can hold him."

DiBpatche8 from Lewiston, via Portland,
Oregon, give details of the encoun- 1
ters -with the Indians on the third, fourth '
and fifth of July, near Cottonwood. On !
Tuesday, the third, Col. Whipple sent 1
out Foster and Baird Bcouting for Indians
in the direction of Gen. Howard's camp 1
on Salmon river. They had not gone far
when they met three or four Indians,
who ran them back toward camp. Baird *
was unhorsed, but escaped; Foster I
reached camp. Whipple ordered his
command in readiness to move, and in
the meantime Lieut. Bains, with Foster
and eleven men, were sent in advance to

over the first rise this side of Cottonwood
and down into a side ravine where
the road crosses before the ascent of
Craig's mountain, nnd were attacked before
Whipple could get to him after he
heard the f ring. Raius and his whole
party were killed, including Foster.
Whipple's command came forward and
formed in line of battle on the east side
of the ravine, aud the Indians on the
west, all in open ground, about 1,000
yards apart, and with only the ravine
between them. Here they remained i
menacing each other for about two
hours, until darkness came. Whipple
retired to his camp, aud the Indians
passed over to a point on the Cottonwood
trails to Craig's Crossing. No more was
done that night.
The next morning Whipple, with his
men, started this way to meet Col. Terry,
who was expected with a supply
train from Lapwai, aud kept out his
skirmish lines along the route. They
met Col. Perry with his train near Board
House and escorted him to the camp on
rutt/inmnftil /ti-aolr "Rilird nrul txvn men
arrived from Mouut Idaho Boon after,
and about five p. M. rifle-pits were manned
and two Gatlings placed in position.
The Indians made several attempts to
storm the rifle-pits, but were kept at a
distance. About nine r. M. firing ceased
for the night.
On the morning of the' fifth two
couriers arrived from Howard, chased
into the camp by Indians. Soon after
the Iudians moved their camp with
about 1,GOO head of stock across the
prairie in the direction of the Cottonwood.
No movement was made to interj
cept them. Soon after, Capt. Randall
I and sixteen volunteers from Mouut
Idaho appeared. About 150 Indians intercepted
them at the junction of the
Elk City trail with the stage road. At
this crisis, they being seen from Perry's
position on the hill at the rifle-pits, the
colonel was urged to go with the troops
to their rescue, to which he replied that
it was no use, they were gone and he
would not order his men to the rescue.
The volunteers say that their captaiu,
seeing his position, ordered them to
charge and break the lines of the Indians,
dash over toward the creek bottom,
dismount, and return the Indian
lire, and hold their position,partly under
I cover of a small liill, until the force at
i the Cottonwood could reach them. The
command was no sooner given than Capt.
Randall and his sixteen men made the
charge, broke through the Indian line,
reached the position named, dismounted,
and returned fire. In the charge Capt.
Randall was mortally wounded,Benjamin
Evans killed, and three of the others
wounded. They fought there for nearly
an hour, and kept the'Indians at bay.
In about half an hour after it wus known
j that the Indians had the volunteets in a
j tight place, Col. Perry gave orders for
' fifty men to go to their relief. It was
j quickly obeyed, and they were relieved
i in about an hour. After the charge no
j pursuit of the Indians was ordered, but
j a retreat was made to camp, and no
l pursuit had been made since up to the
j time of Morrill's leaving on the night of
I the sixth.

A Brave Young Officer.
The Queen of England has conferred
! the Albert medal of the second class on
j Acting Sub-lientcmant Arthur James
j Archibald Montgomerie, R. N., of her
i majesty's ship Immortalite. un tue
j morning of the 6th of April, the Immortalite
being under plain sail, making
four and a half knote, the lookout reported
a man overboard, who proved to
be Thomas Hocken. Mr. Montgomerie,
who was on the bridge, on hearing the
cry, jumped after him. He made for
! Hocken, csking if he could swim, to
j which Hocken answered: "Yes, sir,"
j but he did not seem to be moving vigor!
ously. Mr. Montgomerie tlicn got held
I of him, hauled him on his back, and
! towed him to where he, Montgomerie,
1 suppose^the life buoy would be, but
' seeing 110 relief he told Hocken to keep
; himself afloat while he took his clothes
i off. While he was in the act of doing so, i
Hocken, evidently sinking, caught hold j
i of him by the legs, and dragged him
dt^n a considerable depth. Mr. Mont- j
j gomerie, however, succeeded in getting i
| clear and swam to the surface, bringing |
j the drowning man with him. Hocken >
was now insensible, and too great a
' weight to support any longer ; and findi
ing that liis only chance of saving him'
self wss to leave Hocken, Mr. Mont
gomerie relucantly pave up the hope of
i saving him and struck out for the ship.
J In the meantime the ship's course was
' stopped, and two boats were lowered, by \.
! one of which Mr. Montgomerie was j
, picked up. Had not Mr. Montgomerie (
1 been a powerful swimmer, he would ]

One Sunday recently several of the j
j employees in the Niagara Falls paper I
! mill formed a chowder party to enjoy j
I tlie day near the mouth of Gill creek, i
j about two miles above tlie cataract. '
. The chowder was served on the main j
: land near Parson's island, and during I
! tho afternoon short trips were made by [
, several of the party in a small boat to j
I Navy island. Three men (Pierce, liell'
ingcr and Flay) finally attempted the i
' passage when the wind was very fresh, j
. When they were half way across, the 1
i boat, being in the trough of tho sea, i;
i capsized. The three men endeavored to j
! get upon the boat, but owing to the vi- :
j olence of the waves, failed, the boat roll- 11
j ing like a log in the water. Pierce and |

although Flay advised them not to at- I
tempt it. Flay watched them a short j!
j time, and then began to remove his j:
| clothing. He did not see them go down, i
I but thinks they did within half a dozen ]
rods of the boat. He remained grasping I
j the bow of the boat, his mind filled with :
j the direst apprehension, yet vaguely i
hoping for a. rescue. This happened :
! about five o'clock in the afternoon, and
! in about one hour, three brothers, i
named Anthony, William and Jack 1
Walker, who were in a small boat below, j
discovered him and went to his rescue, j
He was nearly exhausted. 1

EIowTIicy Were Foiled by a Brave Express
Messenger.
fit1
The sensation at Prairie City, 111., has w]
been the trial of the "Long Point" ic
masked and mailed villains, who attempt- ar
ed to rob the Adams Express car at that BC
point and murdered the engineer of the aa
train. The "Long Point robbery," as
it is called?though nothing was actually th
stolen?was, as an attempt, one of the la
most daring in the annals of crimes of 8t
this character. The affair occurred about
eighteen months ago. A correspondent ai
gives these facts concerning it: D

in a disreputable house. It was there n'
thj ringleaders were in the habit of ^
meeting. One of the leaders of the en- m
terprise was a well known monte man, W
and another was a former employee on in
the Yandalia road. This couple laid out
the work and were most active in the at- J
tempted execution of it. Long Point tt
was chosen as the place of attack. It is oi
a lively watering station on the Yandalia a<
road, in Illinois, between Terre Haute ^
and St. Louis. It was on a dark night
that the train came to a halt for a supply fa
of water. In a moment three men ii(
jumped on the locomotive, and, as a hi
preliminary, one of them shot the en- ti
gineer dead at the post of his duty.
Others in the meantime busied them- jj
selves by uncoupling the express car di
from the rest of the train, and in a
twinkling the locomotive, handled by ?
one of the robbers, started rapidly forward,
with only the tender nnd express jr
car attached. The fireman of the locomo- V,
tive was busy on the tender, adjusting tc
the water-spout, while all this occurred, }r
and was uot aware that anything unusual ni
was going until he heard a shot fired,
and in the next moment the sudden for- E
ward plunge of the locomotime threw
him over the side of the tender, and thus 0
probably saved his life, for had he re- q
inained at his post the robbers would no C1
doubt have made as short work of him tl
as they did of the engineer.
Having heard the shot, and surmising In
that there was something wrong when he
saw the locomotive rush into the dark- w
ness without the passenger complement hi
of the train, he made his way as quickly tl
as he could to the conductor and informed
him of what had happened.
All was excitement on board the train a,
as soon as the truth became known; but ai
in spite of a pretty general demoraliza- w
tion, the conductor succeeded in making b<
up a party to folio .v the locomotive on
foot. j;
The robbers ran the engine a couplo at
of miles, and then brought what there si
was of the train to a halt. The only X'
person on board, except the robbers, was te
the express messenger, an old employee ii
of the company, named Burke. He heard 0
the shot fired, and when immediately ni
afterward he found the train in motion, ~
he suspected that there was some sort ]e
of a plot on foot to capture the treasure hi
in his charge, and he immediately set $'
himself to work to frustrate any such
design as best as he could, by barricad- j>"
ing the entrances to the car. When the
train came to a halt, a demand was made tj,
upon him to open the doors. He stoutly 0i
refused to comply, and informed the at- fij
tacking purty that vioience would be met 'rt
by violence, as he was fully armed. ^
At first the robbers confined them- ^
selves to threats. They told him that if u]
he gave up without further resistance ni
his life would be spared, but if lie per- J>
sisted in his foolish course until they ?
dislodged him by force they would make
short work of him. Next they threaten- at
ed to roast him out, and when that failed ni
of its desired effect they began a regular
fusillade, firing into the car from every
point, in the hope that one or another of C:
the bullets thus shot at random would co

ger had a comparatively secure place ?'
between some large boxes, and their
bullets penetrated the car without doing hi
any other damage than such as was sus- pt
tained by the unconscious timber. ot
The robbers in the meantime, between _
Bhots, swore and raved at a great rate, q{
and yet were afraid to bring matters to
a crisis by forcing the doors, well know- at
ing that one or more would surely be ci
cailed upon to bite the dust before the
messenger could be overpowered. Thus "J
time flew rapidly, and when, at last, the
conductor and his companions were 8c
heard to approach at a distance, the rob- tb
bers fired a final volley into the car and
hastily departed. A few minutes later
tho rescuers were on the scene, the engine ar
was backed to the train, and thus, after tb
a couple of hours of delay, the train G
once more moved forward as it was m
originally made up. It may be remarked
here that the express company so fully ?]
appreciated the conduct of their messen- la
ger that they presented him with $1,000 ri

John Smith. ^
Disguised the name may sometimes
be, but it is the commonest name nj
throughout all European countries. It y(
does sometimes affect a spelling above ei
the common, and appears as Smyth, A
Smythe, or De Smythe. It also in Eng- ^
laud assumes a Latin guise (from f- r- fs
rum), and becomes Ferrier and Ferrary u
one of the noble names of England, f?
associate also with a tragedy aot noble a
in its character or its consequences. In
Germany we ha^e the Schmidt; in Italy cj
the Fabri, Fabricia, or Fabbroni; in oi
France the Le Febres or Lefevrem h
Alfhnnorli mnsfc nf flip. "F!iirr>npnn Innrm- u'
ages adhere more closely to old Northern "!
names, even in Latin we have volumes in 0
our ibrary by Johannes Smithus.and we ai
have seen in Italy Giovanni Smitti. The ti
Spaniard's version of John Smith is Juan
Sinithus; the Dutchmen adopt it ns
Hans Schmidt; the French soften it into
Jeun Srneets; the Russians roughen it
into Jouloff Smittowski. John Smith
goes into the tea trade with China, aud j,
then ho becomes Jahon Schimmit.
Among the Icelanders he is Jaime Smith- j.j
son; ainoug the Tuscaroras he is Som ^
Qu Smittia; iu Poland, Iv.in Schmittia- a

A IJiilI-dog Kills an Alligator. j
The Georgetown Comet says: One : t(
day last week an alligator was seen |
9wimminft in tlio Sanipit river, near tho i
wharf. Capt. David Steele's bull-dog i u
was soon brought forward, and, upon , H
viewing the enemy, plunged off the 1 oi
wharf to-meet it. The 'gator saw what J w
was up, anil made for the dug. "While | ^
they approached each other, not ft sound ; p,
couM be heard from the spectators, who 01
were expecting, the moment they met, j fi.v
to see the dog submerged, never to rise
dgftin; but the dog got the first hold, L,
plunged his ugly teeth in the head of; n<
the ferocious monster, and caused it to ! bi
sink. It soon reappeared, looking as | 0<
fierce as ever. The dog and the alliga- j
tar were soon mouth and mouth, nip and
tuck, until it tviis thought that the dog
liod conquered, the alligator disappear- gi
ing. The dog, being exhausted, was j 0II
then picked up by a boat. The 'gator, c0
however, soon appeared, and made for : ^
the opposite shore. Several persons got !
in boats and pursued him until he got bo
under the wharf, when one of the party I ?
fired a pistol, and as soon as the report j 1
was heard the dog leaped from the boat
mid under the wharf. It was nip and
tuck again for awhile, but;the dog, soon ! ^
gaining the advantage, brought ont his j
Foe dead. The reptile measured live ! to:

Tun Srv continues to bo tho strenuous advocate of
cfnrm nml retrenchment, and of the substitution o(
tatesmanship, wisdom, ami integrity for hollow pre- "*
ence, imbecility, and fraud in tno administration of &
iu'j|ic affairs. It contends for the government of the Jih
ioi>ple by tile people and for tho pecplo. as opposed to
ovcrnment by irauds in the ballot-box und in the counttig
of votes, enforced by military violence. It ondeavors
[i supply its readers?a body now not far from a million
f souls?with the most careful, complete, and trustroithy
accounts of cm rent events, and einplojs for this
mrposo a numerous and carefully selected staff of re- A
orters and correspondents. Its reports from Washing.
dh, especially, are full, accurate, and fearless: and it
oubtless oontinues to deserve and enjoy the hatred of
hose who thrive by plundering thoTreasury or by usurpig
what tho law does not give them, while it endeavors
5 merit the confidence of the public by defending the
ightsof tho people against the encroachments of unistifled
power.
