A Full Apology.?Rowland Hil was always annoyed when there bap pened any noise to divert the atten tion of his hearers from what he waf saying. On one occasion, some days before his death, be was preaching tc one of the largest congregations thai ever assembled to hear him. In tb< middle of bis discourse he observed t commotion in the gallery. For some time he took no notice of it, but find ing it increasing, he paused in his ser mon, and looking in the direction ii which the confusion prevailed, he ex claimed: "What's the matter there? Th< devil seems to be amoDg you." A plaiD, couDtry-looking roan im mediately started to his feet, and ad dressing will iD reply, said : "No, sir; it aren't the devil as it doing it; it's a fat lady wot's fainted and she is a very fat 'un, sir, as don't seem likely to come to again in a bur ry." "Oh, that's it, is it?" observed Mr Hill, drawing his band across his chin "then I beg the lady's pardon?anc the devil's, too." Veey Near-Sighted.?A certaii very near-sighted old lady could nevei be induced to admit the fact, but per sisted in declaring that her sight was excellent. One day xa waggish neigh bor stuck a darning-needle in the sid< of a barn, and placing heron theothei side of the road, asked her if she coulc see it. "Ob, yes," she replied, looking hard in the direction indicated, "I cat see the needle easy ; but whar's th? barn ?" visitor to Lancaster asylum t short time since encountered one o the lunatics (who doubtless bad beer told off for work of some description' pushing a wheelbarrow along one o the walks wrong side up. The visitoi inquired why he reversed the order o things in that fashion. "Why, yoi stupid, do you"think I'm road ?"-was the lunatic's reply. "If I turned thr right side up, they'd be putting some thing into it." 9&T A well-known vicar gives a cu rious experience. It was his custon: to point his sermons with either "Dear ly beloved brethren" or "Now, mj brothers," until one day a lady mem ber of bis congregation took excep tion to this, and asked him why be al ways preached to the gentlemen anc never to the ladies." "My dear lady,' said the vicar, "one embraces the oth er." "But not in the church!" was the reply of the astonished lady.

Iht StUw. | "KTT CARSON" ; e i j A Hunt With the Famous Nlmrod j e of Kentucky and the West. ( r I presume that almost every read- | ing person, and especially every read- i s ing boy, in these United States, writes I 1 William Thompson in the New York i 1 Sun, is more or less familiar with the | >' history of the world-renowned trap- < I per, scout, hunter, explorer, and In- I dian fighter, Christopher, or "Kit' I Carsou, who, bom in Kentucky id e 1809, died at Fort Lyon, Colorado, on i t May 23, 1868, leaving behind him the record of a spotless character, and a | reputation tor aeeas or cmvairouu i y daring and adventure which have 1 a made his name a household word. \ Although Carson was fifteen years < older than I, it was my privilege to t know him well, and I look back to c I the various periods passed with him t 1 as among the happiest of my life. I s first became acquainted with him < while crossing the great plains in 1849, i a and was then an eyewitness to his < 1 marvellous rescue of two white women?the sole survivors of their party t ?from a band of Apaches. g r From the time of this first meeting f i until the day of his death I never en- ( tirely lost track of this famous man. 1 In 1855 I shared many perilous adven- i ] tures with him, and in the fall of '57 1 . was for several weeks a guest at his i . home in the queer old village of Taos, i j N. M. His house there was an im- t j mense one-story building, covering { , more than a quarter acre, and was a t i favorite rendezvous for neighboring f ; Mexicans, half-breeds, and friendly j , Indians, among whom he was affec- g ; tionately known as Father Kit. There, ^ . too, used to come great numbers of 1 . travelers, many of whom had ridden \ , scores of miles off their direct route to i . visit one of whom they had heard so c much that was good and nothing that f . was bad. Carson laughingly called i this big house his "city residence," t . in contradistinction to his farmhouse . at Rezeda, where, in partnership with < bis old friend Maxwell, he bad a large e j and well-stocked ranch. i Mrs. Carson, a young and very at- I t tractive woman was alive at this time, t . She was Kit's second wife, devotedly < attached to him and her children, and t a charming hostess. She died in Colo- < . rado on April zu, loos, ana mere is i I no doubt that ber death basteDed that of ber husband, who loved her with all the strength of bis Dature. At the time of my visit Carson was 48 years old, and, though by no means a large r man, was phenomenally strong and active, a superb horseman, aDd capable of bearing any fatigue. He was the exact opposite Id person of what one who bad heard of his f wonderful exploits, but had never seen him, would naturally expect to find. ' Instead of being a truculent-looking, ' loud-voiced, violent-tempered giant, ' as some have pictured bim, he was of a singularly mild cast of countenance, a kindly, equable temper, and an ex1 ceediDgly benevolent disposition. His f voice was soft and low as that of a > cultured woman. But when aroused ) by wrong or oppression, particularly f toward the weak and defenceless, Car" son could be terrible. At such times F his gray eyes would flash, his lips > meet in stern resolve, and his whole 5 form dilate with righteous anger; and ' woe to the delinquents, white or red, few or many, upon whom that aDger should fall, for in the cause of right Kit never counted odds. Though seldom rashly imprudent, he i was fearless as an enraged grizzly and . inflexible as fate, while his skill in folr lowing a trail, and in avoiding traps . set for him, was so extraordinary that . any band of marauding savages dread. ed his single pursuit more thaD that of I a hundred ordinary foes. The bun' dred might fail in inflicting punishment, . but "Sure Kill Kit" Dever did ; yet, j throughout his whole career, he was the steadfast frieDd of all peaceable, well-disposed Indians. I have known . him to feed destitute families of such 5 Indians for months, wait personally f upon their sick, even when the dis emollrvnv T KQVO tnnwn | ruse wtxo ciuaii|/vAi * ?v f bim, at the risk of bis life, to defend t I and succor friendly Indians who, be- ( , cause of their friendship for bim, were t I in danger of immediate massacre by i I members of a hostile tribe. Once, in ) Arizona, I saw him, backed only by < ' my then inexperienced self, ride down t upon a w hole band of Apaches, and 1 , rescue a Pah-Ute prisoner whom tbey i t had tied to a stake, and were about to i torture to death. < On riding over the crest of a bluff i one morning, we came unexpectedly I I upon this band, and of course would I j have retreated at once had not Carson < j recognized in the prisoner an old 1 . friend. 1 g "It's a desperate venture," he said ; t "but we'll at least try to save that poor j fellow. See, the reds have discovered us, and are running off to get their t ponies in order to give chase. Now's i our time ! Keep close to me," i a Carson was riding a powerful stal- i j lion, and I bad an equally swift horse. 1 , Without another word we dashed i t down the slope at headlong speed, < reaching the prisoner's side in less s than five seconds. The man, already s singing his death song, was bound to the stake simply by rawhide lariats i passed around his waist, bis legs and < ' arms Demg ieu irtre su as iu auuru * greater sport to his torturers. i e Without dismounting, Carson cut < D these thongs with a single stroke of ( 3 his knife; then, he on one side and I \ '> on the other, we caught the prisoner i ? under the armpits, and bore him away < between us before'the savages bad got < half-way to the grove where their 1 ponies were concealed. < n Almost in a twinkling, amid a show; er of arrows, we had surmounted the i a hill, and by the time the first pursuing i a Indian appeared on its crest were half t i, a mile away. Then came the chose. Incumbered as we were, the Apaches t Stained on us steadily, aud by and by the foremost one, evidently the chief, came within long rifle range?a fatal mistake on bis part. Never slackening speed, Carson half turned in bis saddle, threw up his rifle with one band, and seemingly without taking aim, brought the warrior to the ground. This somewhat checked the ardor of pursuit, but still the redskins followed us mile after mile, until tbey and we caught sight of a long emigrant train coming slowly over the 3a8tern plain. Then the whole crew 9ed precipitately. We gained the train and were safe. "Wasn't that a close call, Kit? I ?i lOACU . "Nothing to speak of," he coolly replied. "With our repeating rides aod four revolvers we could have kept :hose hounds off all day; and help ivas sure to come before night, as we're >n the main line of emigrant travel." It was by such deeds that Kit Carion won the hearts of all worthy perions who knew him. No thought of self, no consideration of personal peril, iver had a feather's weight with him iv hen distress was to be relieved, or enlangered captives were to be rescued.] Within easy reach of Carson's home bere abounded great quantities oi game, from bufTaloes to jack rabbits, tnd we passed the greater part of each lay in bunting. On these occasions I lad ample opportunity of observing, iot only his thorough knowledge of voodcraft, but also his wonderful skill vith rifle aod revolver. I had thought nyself an expert in the use of these veapons, but soon found that, cotnlared with Carson, I was a tyro. At bis time he had among his retainers a green young Irishman, Barney O'Brien. 1b we killed a good deal of heavy game and supplied many Taos families vitb fresh meat, we generally took barney and one or two pack mules vith us on our more distant bunts, nuch to his gratification and our own mtertainment, for the fellow was chuck '..11 nf Am Ihnncrh in th? vav nf fthnnt og he could hardly have hit a barn at cd yards. One night a valuable thoroughbred :olt kept in a small pasture near Carion's house was killed, but not devoured, the killers probably having ieen scared away by the barking of be kennel dogs. On investigation ;arly next morniDg, Carson declared hat the deed bad been done by a pair >f mountain lions or cougars, whicb were known to haunt the distaut foothills. 80, without saying a word to tny of the neighbors, be and I, followed by Barney and old Jack, an uncomaonly wise mule, set off on horseback iirectly after breakfast to find the irutes. Although on the short grass if the plain and among the rocks and loulders I could see no signs of a trail, ihe old trapper followed it with such ;ase and certainty that O'Brien was noved to exclaim : "Bedad, thin, the naster's got the oiye av a hawk, an' ihe nose av a fox. Shure it's himself ean shmell out a thrack whin there's liver a wan at all, at all!" After penetrating some distance into he foothills, Carson declared that the ions must be concealed in a great gorge, lying immediately in front of is, and so densely overgrown with icrubwood that its exploration on horseback was impossible. We disnounted and prepared to proceed on oot. "Now, Barney," said Carson, stick, ;lose to the cattle until we come back, ind don't get scared out of your wits f you happen to see a lion or two. rbey're nothing hut big cats, and bardy ever attack a man in daylight." "Arrah, be aisy, sor; it's a rale D'Brien Oi am, wan av the ould stock, in' no mortal bastbe can froigbt me, et alone such tbrifles as cats. Faix, 3Pd blow a dozen ave tbim intil smithereens if they kern forninst me gun." "Well, watch the mule. He'll give fou warniog of daDger," cautioned 3arson; and we plunged into the hicket, which was interlined by so nany narrow, well-trodden paths that t seemed utterly impossible to select inyone as that followed by 'he cougars. Carson, however, was not led i moment astray. He at once fixed ipon an almost blind, sinuous trail vbich led close along the side wall of he canyon, through to me its slightly lusty surface seemed merely a blurred hreat of hopelessly mixed tracks of nany different kinds of animals. On some parts of this parth we could walk upright, but on other parts ;he overarching bushes obliged us, hrough the necessity of making no ustling, to creep forward on hands ind knees, thus not only rendering iur progress very slow, but placing us n a rather awkward position for de :ence in case any wild beast should ;ake a notion to attack us. But this consideration did not trouble us, as we jad seen no signs of grizzly bears, and cnew that no other wild creature ;bereabout would voluntarily face two ?rown men. For nearly an hour we toiled along :he dark, sweiiering, winaiess ravine without seeing a living creature. Then ive came to a little side gully which, it first sight, seemed so completely Mocked up by fragments of fallen ock that nothing larger than a rat ;ould harbor there. On coming opposite to its mouth, however, Carson suddenly sprang to his feet and said : "Lookout Will ! There's a grizzly ivitbin fifty feet of us. I smell him juite plainly." There was a small open space here, ind, though wondering where a bear ;ould be concealed, I ranged myself at Larson's side. I had barely done so ivhen from behind a great rock, whose ipper edge rested against the vertical ;lifF, an enormous silver-tip grizzly 'merged, and with blazing eyes and a loarse gurgling roar rushed at us >pen-mouthed. "Steady ! Just above the eyes," said ny comrade, and the next instant the nonster lay dead with two bullets hrough its brain. Ordinarily this kill would have been hougbt a piece of good luck, but now) it seemed just the reverse, for oo the report of our Bingle breechloaders a pair of full-grown cougars burst from cover not 30 feet away, and were out of sight before we could slip in fresh cartridges or draw our revolvers. "Confound the bear," said Carson ; "I'd rather have killed those lions than a dozen like him. But never mind ; we'll get tbem yet. Meantime we may as well peel old Epbraim." When this troublesome job was done, and the heavy pelt swung up on a sappling beyond the reach of wolves, we took different paths, and began to beat down the ravine again. We could not find the cougars, and bad come almost within sight of the cleared space where 1-A UrvMOfm An/) mule tt/Kon f.Kfl We I till l I1C UUISCO OUU uiuiV| nuvu vuv report or Barney's big smoothborefrang out like that of a six-pounder, and next moment he yelied : "Help! There's a couple of mutherin's basthes sneakin' ontil me, an' me gun's impty." "The lions!" cried Carson, as we rushed out iuto the open glade, to see the horses straining frantically on their lariots, the mule trotting homeward, and Barney cowering in abject terror, crossing himself and moaning. We could see no cause for his alarm. "But where are the lions, Barney ?" was asked. "Sorra wan av me knows, sor. But they was beyant thim bushes whin ould Jack got soight av thim, wavin their tails an' lickin' their chops loike they'd ate him, whoile all the time it was mesilf they was afther, because Oi'd gev thim a weenv sprinklin' ay shot." ' "Look out there," called Carson; "they are running under cover after the mule," pointing to a tremendous and swiftly advancing line of motion among the wayside bushes. Untying the horses, we sprang to saddle and were off in hot pursuit, but too late to save Jack; for, without having been previously seen by us, the two lions broke cover, and, one at bis throat and the other at his dank, pulled the beast down wnue we were 50 yards away. "Hold up," said Carson; "the mischiefs done. Let them settle down on their prey. Too much brush in the way to make a sure shot." So for a minute or two we sat quiet in our saddle, watching the brutes until they became wholly preoccupied with their feast. Then we rode forward to within 25 yards. "Now," whispered Carson," "you take the one on the right, and I'll drop the other." At the simultaneous crack of our rifles the cougar fired at by Carson, the male, stretched itself out in death with scarcely a quiver; but as I afterward found, the elevating leaf of my rifle's back sight bad got raised, and I entirely overshot my mark. Thereupon, the surviving cougar, maddened by the taste of blood, or by the loss of her mate, uttered a humanlike scream and came to me in prodigious leaps, the fourth of which would have brought her to my throat. But that leap was never completed, for while the creature was in midair, Carson fired two revolver shots quick as lightning, and she dropped, dying at my borse'B feet, both bullets having ati-iiMr the verv centre of her chest. "A rather neat performance," I said. "I'd hardly got my own pistol out of the holster." "Oh, that's nothing," said Carson; "practice makes perfect. I oughtn't to have taken the shot from you, but there was no time to lose, as the brute might have hurt your horse." Barney, panting and blowing like a stranded grampus, now came up on tbe run, and was sent off by Carson after the bearskin. After skinniug the cougars we set off for home, regulating our pace to Barney's speed in walking. Poor Barney did not long remain a greenhorn. Soon the old smoothbore gave place to a rifle, and tutored by his employer, he became a skillful hunter as well as a fearless Indian fighter. He died while trying to save his master's property. Carson himself told me the story about two years after our hunt. He had sent Barney out in charge of a large flock of sheep destined for the California market. On the way Barney and bis fellow herdsmen were attacked by a strong band of roving Indians, who, after a long battle, slaughtered all but one of the men. This one, getting back to the ranch, told him that Barney, after his ammunition was gone, bad continued to fight like a tiger, and with his heavy rifle barrel bad killed in a handto-hand combat six of the savages before he fell. What the Teeth Can Tell.?"It is possible," said an English dentist "for a medical man to tell more of the disposition and constitution of a person by the teeth than by any other part of the body. "The first thing that an army doctor does when a man is brought up for enlistment is to look at his teeth. If they show any signs of decay, it is evident that the man's constitution is delicate, and his services as a soldier are immediately declined, even though he be in every other respect a perfect specimen of manhood. If the teeth showed but little signs of decay, the man would be eligible for English service, but for foreign service perfectly useless. Men with irregular teeth? teeth uneven and imperfect?are declined by medical men where there are arduous duties to perform. It is said to be a sign of bodily weakness. "Another peculiarity noticeable in many persons is a spotted tooth. This is a tooth covered with dark specks, and is usually found among persons of ii/oat intpllpftt,; it is. in fact, a sicn of " 7 " ?7 1 w insanity. Large teeth show braininess, more especially if they be regular. A set of perfect teeth is the surest sign of a good constitution." Talking With His Mouth.? "Charleston, I hear," said a visitor from the interior yesterday, "has thousands of bales of cotton stored for higher prices. Now, I think if I bad any cotton and took a look over the cotton belt I would hurry up and unload my surplus in a lump. The cotton crop this year will, in my opinion, be the largest in many years." When asked further about the condition of the crop, this gentleman said that, particularly among the line of the South Carolina and Georgia railroad, cotton was looking splendidly. The acreage was unusually large, and the plants were in fine condition. "I believe this year will see a 12-, 000,000-bale crop. That is my estimate, and I base it on the fact that there are many more acres given to the plant this season and that there seems to have been no drawbacks dur iog the growing season."?News and Courier. | $&" Austin Huntly McCarthy was Once showing a young American woman over the houses of parliament. Escorting her through the library of commons, he casually mentioned, as a more or less interesting fact, that it was against the rules for a woman to sit down there. "Is that really a law of the place ?" asked the fair American. "That is so," answered McCarthy, gravely. "Then," said his visitor, "you just see me break it;" and, drawing up a chair, she sat resolutely down at the table. Arrested In Chester.
