Sam Tally nuil Caleb White were trapping in the Snake river region. They were m? n of desperate courage, who had taken their lives in their hands too often to care for the dangers of the life they led. Caleb?or Calo? White was a man who stood six feot two in Ins moccasins; a man whom you would hardly cure to meet in the cloee tug of a desperate battle. His hard brown face was seamed with scars from bullet, knife and claws of wild beasts; and his muscular body showed the marks of many a desperate struggle. Sam Tally was the bean ideal of a mountaineer. Although not so powerful as Cule, he was a mau of great personal strength and desperate courage. For many a yt ar these two had roamed the . trapping grounds together, lighting Indians, grizzlies and wolves; chased, by night ovor the burning prairit ; defending their camp against the s idden attack of red fiends, or spending recklessly, at the stations, the muucy wnicn iney naa earned bo hardly on the trapping ground. Tin v liail beeu out all winter, and as spring approached tho last cache was covered, and tho trappers begun to think of returning homo. Tho camp was built up near the river, a tributary of the Snake, which flowed through dismal canyons, in which tho light of day never shone; under the shadow of giant cliffs upon which human boings never yet set foot, and only spreading out at places where the cunning beaver had built his dam. The river was broken by great rapids and abounded in rare fish, upon which they had feasted royally for many days. There was not a partiole of ioe in the chanuel now, for tho rushing torrent had swept it down to the great river. They had a canoe, and had been discussing the chances of going down the stream in that, in order to save time. "I'm ready to take the chances, if you are, Calo." "I don't like to give myself away," said Caleb White. " What do we know about the river, after we get down to the big canyon, and who ever passed throng h it?" "That's the fun of tho thing, Oale; we do what no one else ever dared to do." " I don't like it," replied Whito, who was by far tho most prudent of the two. "I?ha! what is that ?" They seized their weapons and ran to the door of the hut, just in time to see a dozen Indians running down through tho grass, blocking up the only way of escape. The moment the ropeating rifles began to play ^ipon them they went out of sight among the rocks and begnn their gradual approach, whioh could only end in one way?the white U 1 * * 9 tu.c*|si'uxn wuum ut? ovorwueimea. "There ia only one chance, Cale," cried Sam Tully. "And that?" " The canoc." "I'm vonr man," cried the giant trapper. " You pnsh the canoe into the water, and throw in the woapons, while I keep these fellows in play. Ah I would you? Take that!" An Indian had raised his tufted head, to get a better shot at the trappers, but before ho oould get back the unfailing eyes of the trapper had looked through the double sights and the rifle crooked. The Indian sprung suddenly to his feet, spun sharp round upon his heel, and foil dead in his tracks. The next moment tho canoe shot out from the bank, and headed down through the boiling flood, plunging in the canyon below so rapidly that the Indians bad scarcely time *to recover from their amazement at the sudden exodus before they wfire out of sight. One of the In dians bounded to his feet, and uttered a low signal whoop, and two large canoes, containing in all about fifteen men, rounded a point in the river above ami came flying down under tbo strokes of the paddles. The Indians on the shore' simply pointed down the stream, and thecanoes dashed by at a furious speed, the wild yell of tho paddlers announcing to tho white men that they wero pursued. Tho first rapid passed, tney entered a long stretch of water, where the current was only four or five miles an hour; and hero the propelling foroe in the other canoes begun to tell, and they gained rapidly. On eaoh Ride of the canoes the canyon rone like a wall, two hnndred feet in height, and they oonld only put all their strength in the paddles and dash on as fast as they could. Two miles further, and the canoes wero scarcely a hundred yards behind, the Indiaus yelling like demons, as they saw the foe almost in their grasp. Cale White shook his head, as ho looked over his shoulder, when his canoe was suddenly seized by a mighty force and hurled downward, like a bullet from a rifle. They had struck another rapid, more powerful than the first, and the rocks absolutely seemed to fly past them. " This is something liko it," oriod tho daring Sam Tully. "How we do move ?" " I should say that we did, old boy," replied Cale. " I am only afraid that we are moving a trifle too fast." " Don't you believe it. Those fellows seem to be standing still." " They will get it in a moment. Look at that." The headmost canoe appeared upon tho crest of the rapid, and came fljing down after them at furious speed. Tho Indians no longer used their paddles, with the exception of the man who sat in the stern, and by a touch on the water, now on this side then od tho other, regulated tho course of the canoe. The second canoe followed in a mo menc, a little mrther in shore. As they gazed, the bow of the last canoe was suddenly lifted into the air, as it strnck a brown rock in the channel, which the occupants had tried in vain to avoid. The fierce current caught the stern, and in an iustant there wa-* noth ing left of the light craft save broken fragments, while the occupants, with loud shrieks of terror, were borne swiftly on by the resistless tide. "That ends them," said Oale White. "Be careful, Sam ; for your life." On, on, borne by the power which they could not resist, the two canoes ?ero hurried. There was a sense of wild exultation in tho hearts of the white men, for they could see that their enemies would have gladly escaped, if they could, from the perils which surrounded them. Their mad desire for scalps and plimder had led them into a trap, and they no longer thought of the canoe before them. They knew, as the whites did not, the terrible danger before them ; for they hod explored the bauks of the stream on foot many times. The river suddenly narrowed, and they rushed into a canyon barely twenty feet wide, nearly roofed over by the cliff upon each side. The current was not quite so rapid here, and they guided the canoe more easily. "This gets interesting, Cale," said Sam Tnlly, as they went on through the narrow pass. " We are going "? " To our death I" replied Cale White, in a solemn voice. " Do you bear the falls?" Through the splash of water and the dip of the paddles they heard a low, ueau, tremulous roar, wmen was tlio sound of falling water. For a moment the bronzed face of Sam Tully blenched, and then he drew his figure up proudly. " Better than the scalping knife or the stake, old friend. As the Frenchman says: ' Vive la mort!' " Long live death ! It was before them, for, as they shot out of the narrow pass, the}' saw the fall before them, how high they could not tell; but the smoke which aroso showed that it was not a small one. "Keep her head to it," cried Cale. "If we don't get through it, good-bye forever." The swift current caught them, and the canoe, hurled forward with terrible force, went flying toward the verge. A moment more and it shot out iuto the mi>t, and went down into the unknown depths. Eich man clung to his paddle, as ho went down, held by an invisible power, whirled to and fro, as in a maelstrom, aud then shot up into the light, below the falls. Far below them the canoe floated, and as the rapid current swept them down, the two men looked back, in time to see the other canoe come over the fall, sideways, without an occupant. It was hurled far ont, and fell lightly on the water, only to be arrested by the strong hand of Cale White. The Indians, appalled by their danger, had upset the eanoo in their frantic effoits to escape. What became of them the trappers never know, for when they reached the foot of the rapid, far below the falls, and righted the canoe, they made no pause, but hurried down the stream, and before night were safely floating in the waters of Snake river. Two days later they reached a fort in safety. A Heartrending Disclosure, Very reoently, a gentleman giving a dinnor party was persuaded, much against his wishes, to allow his yonng hopeful, a spoiled child, to join the oompany. Thinking that many of the rich dishes wero not good for the boy, he objected to his partaking of them, but eventually gave way on the child threatening : " If I am not allowed to havo it, I'll tell 1" This went on for some time, until the father made a stand, refusing firmly to lot the boy have any wine, adding : "And you may tell, if you like." Amidst roars of laughter, the child at onoo called out with glee : "My new kniokert>ooker8 are made out of a pair of ma's old curtains!" A Louisiana wife tried to poison herself because her husband, in a prayer meeting, had fervently said amen to the petition of a girl of whom she was joal ous. llespectable St. Louis lawyers have begun an effort to disbar the divorce operators. The Opossum. On the table before ns, in a bottle, are some strange looking specimens that ninety-nine persons out of a hundred would pronounce very young field mioe. There are eleven specimens in all, and they could all be packed away in a receptacle the sizo of a walnut. There are but two opinions as to their identity ; mice first, then if the guesser is bold he will say young rats, only to take it back, adding that they are hardly large enough. The truth is that they are the young cf the opossum, one of the strangest animals we have. The bulk of fifty such infants would not equal in size one newly born kitten or rabbit, yet the mothers are nearly equal in size. When the young opossums are born thoy are about ns largo as a small cherry, and resemble for all the world a young terrier pup. They are as innocent of any covering but a pinkish white skin as the palm of an infant's hand. The pouch in the mother's belly contains the teats, and on them stick the young ones?like wax, would be the orthodox comparison, but really harder aud closer than a pup to an old boot. Care must bo tak* n when they are loosened, or the head will divorce itself from iue ooay ana remain banging to tbo maternal fount, so closely do they adhere. How they got to the teats is not known to us, and we doubt very much if there are many who have ever witnessed the modus operandi of the transfer. Being a nocturnal animal, and having ' passed into a proverb for shamming, we doubt very much if any one ever saw just how these poor little fellows, with their bull pup heads and pin tails, got hold of the teats to hold on so bravely. 1 It is probably the case that the mother places them there. When once fastened they have to do coifeiderable tumbling before being able to shift for themselves. Where the mother is traveling abont 1 or lying down, her family must 1 ok out for them-elves, and they are squarely on 1 their feet only when she is lying on her 1 back, from which we infer that they do 1 not get many diversions of the kind. The only leading business of the first of their lives is to get a good hold and then hang on. W ?? 1 1- A- > ** uuu uucj (ilD l(U^O UUUU^ll Mi ItJL loose thoy are then on their own hook, which is, in their case, the tail. Wo have noticed an old one hanging by her i fore feet from a limb on a summer's night, with a double handful of well grown opossums, with their tails twined around hers, while she was swaying to and fro, evidently giving the children a swing. The opossum is omnivorous, and though having a decided preference for birds and their eggs, will take kindly to constructing a homo inside a dead horse. Iu confinement it will eat anything, and would sooner be in the dark than not. Being a good digger, an expert climber, and skillful at playing 'possum when overtaken by an enemy, the question might arise as to why wo are not overrun with them when thoy are so prolific? The answer is, that the woods are full i of them, and they are commoner than cats, but being of no value as an article of commerce, nocturnal, and not often eaten, we do not see much of them.? Hod end Gwi. IIow to Treat Sunstroke. Sunstroke is caused by excessive heat, and especially if the weather is " muggy." It is moie apt to occur in the second, third, or fourth day of a heated term than on the first. Loss of sleep, worry, excitement, close sleeping rooms, debility, and abuse of stimulants predispose. It is much more apt to attack those working iu the sun, and especially between the hours of eleven o'clock in the morning and four o'clock in the afternoon. On hot days wear thin clothing. Have as cool sleeping rooms as ( possible. Avoid los3 of sleep and all unnecessary fatigue. If working iudoors aud where there is artificial heat, see thut the room is well ventilated. If working in the sun wear n light hat (not black, as it absorbs heat) and put j inside of it on the head a wet cloth or a , largo green leaf ; frequently lift the hat from the head and see that the cloth is wet. Do not check perspiration, but drink what water you need to keep it up, as perspiration prevents the body from being overheated. Have wherever possiblo an additional shade, as a thin umbrella, when walkiDg, a canvas or board cover when working in the sun. When , much fatigued do not go to work, or be excused from work, especially after eleven o'clock in the morning on very , hot days, especially if the work is in the sun. If a feeling of fatigue, dizziness, headache or exhaustion occurs cease work immediately, lie down in a shady and oool place, apply cold cloths to and pour cold water over bead and neck. If any one is overoomo by the heat give j the person oool drinks of water or cold , black tea or cold coffee, if able to swallow. If the skin is hot and dry, sponge with or pour cold water over the body and limbs, and apply to the head pounded icewranned in a r>r r?fh?r cloth. If there in no ice at band keep a cold cloth on the head, and ponr cold , water on it as well as on the body. , If the person is pale, very faint, and pnlse feeble, let him inhalo ammonia for a few seconds, or give him a teaspoonfnl of aromatio spirits of ammonia (hartshorn) in two tablespoonfnls of water with a little sugar.

An Intcrrntinc Dearrlptlon of lafc on llio Frontier?Setting Out In Life by u Texnn t'onple. A iSnn correspondent, writing from Golem an county, Texas, fifty miles from Fort Worth, gives the details of a wedding in Texas. The bride was, as the correspondent was informed, Old Jaquette's daughter. Wo call him Don ' for short. The girl's name is Myreeu. We call her ' Reenie,' and that chap that's goin' to git her is old Uvalde's son 'Mig,' 'tlio blood* that saved her from a pack of Mexican hounds up the valley of the Rio Pecos about six months ago." Guests from far and wide arrived in wagons and on horseback. Backwoods maidens and stalwart cattle keepers in staid and gay colors, sunbounets and buckskins, were chatting and gossiping under the trees, the same as church audiences in civilization. Everybody Beemed to have clusters of flowers, and for a time those rough and sturdy men of tho plains suffered their broad sombreros to be ornamented with wreaths and orows bound with gay handkerchiefs by fair and gentle hauds. The brido was dark as her father, and her eyes were moist with silvery tears, shadowed by heavy brows and lashes. Her raven black hair hung- in curly ringlets down her back, and two white upni)m <u urungo oiossoms were worn among them. Her dress was of white satin, trimmed with gold, reaching just to her ankles ; white satin boots covered her small feet, and a necklace of pearls encircled her white round neck. She stood about live feet eight inches in height, yet looked small by the side of the tali and well shaped man who was to be her husband. He was dressed in a buckskin suit, richly ornamented. The suit came Irom the Cherokee country. Ho had long, brown hair, sharp gray eyes, regular features, and was a handsome man, standing six feet three inches and weighing two hundred and eighty pounds. The wedding ring was of heavy gold, and in return the bride presented her husband with a brcastpi* When tho benediction was pronounced tho young Texan rangers crowded out the old people, nnd with their broad palms they Bhook the happy pair heartily by the bands. " Make way," said the groom, " give the boys a chance. Every one of you come forward, right hero, I want to see you all have a good time." The brawny arms of the cattle drovers were extended in joyous congratulations, the music of the violin, banjo, and tambourine struck up, and in a few minutes the grove resembled a beautiful ballroom. Anion# tno company were four or five beautiful octoroons in red dressos, lownecked waists, red slippers, black hair red roses as their only ornaments. Tiny formed a set with as many wild looking cattle owners, and they danced a cotillion with tho ease and graco of Mexican dancers. In another group were several guitar players, all women, who woro singing and playing. A pretty young maiden and a lad were executing a double "Toxau fling," an uncouth, fantastic turn and twist, that requires plenty of action and strength in the limbs. Bashful young men retired and iudulged in a mustang race; others had a quoiting match, and still others threw knives, jumped, ran, elevated heavy weights, and tlio rest of the men stood and talked of the sports of the chase, politics, and the cattle trade. Refreshments followt d iu close order. Songs were sung, and tho violin, guitar, aecor deon, tambourine, aud flute sounded louder aud louder. . . The grove was the scene of joy and hilarity at noon when the horn was sounded and the announcement for dinner was mado. The repast was plain but substantial. All there was to eat was piled upon the tables. Enough had been prepared to feed fivo hundred people. Two young oxen had been roasted, aud vegetables had been provided in the same lavish manner. While they were at dinner, opportunity was given to look at some of the presents. The groom had received a flue Mexican saddle, a pair of heavy pistols, a bridle made of plaited hair, a beautiful silver mounted rifle, a plaited hair lasso, silver flask, long dagger, Dair Of hich toil boots of ftili?ntnr or, set of rifle accouterments, silver tobacco box, silvor plated spurn and many o:hor articles that are used by drovers aud hunters. Not a single article of jewelry was given to him. The only thing that approached household goods was a n.uguiticont panther skin to be used as a robe. The brido received a magnificent little mustang of fine proportions, cream colorod mane and toil aud high bred; then she had a beautiful saddle and bridle; a cago of beautiful tropical birds; a Quo St. Bernard dog; a pair of twin calves, as white and as beautiful as the driven snow; a pet fawn; a globe of beautiful gold fish, that were brought all the way from New Orleans by an agent of that city; together with a variety of bracelets, eardrops, rings and two beautiful coral _>.i _ J ?:?u J: uckanux.n, tituuueu wiiu umuiuiiuH, U targe gold cross, and a diamond studded wateh and chain. After dinner there was a wild time. Such examples of reckless riding had rarely if ever been seen in this section of Texas. Th? racing was exciting, yet fraught with danger. The maidens ap plauded and shonted at the tops of their voices, as the herders dashed by on their fiery mustangs. Then there was more music and dancing, and thus the sport was continued until four o'clock, when they departed, after wishing the couple long life, happiness and prosperity. When the parents of the bride were ready to depart, the groom mounted his horse, and the young wife vaulted in her own saddle by the aid of the strong a?*m of her husband, and the party rapidly fc< galloped away to their home, where the young couple were to spend a week and b then return, to commenoe lifo in earnest* f< Dom Pedro's Father. o Apropos of Dom Pedro's visit to this country, au interesting story is told. It . will be remembered that in 1822 the Brazilians rebelled against Portugal under the oppressive acts of the Cortes, 0 proclaimed their independence, and conferred the imperial crown on Dom Pe- k dro, the sou of John VI. of Portugal, then regent during his father's absence, a This was the father of the present Dom Pedro. He ruled till 1831, when forced _ to it by growing dissatisfaction, which f( culminated in a short but violent revo lution, ho abdicated in favor of his son. , Popular feeling against him was bitter, and his personal safety was threatened a so that ho was forced to conceal himself. It was at this juncture that a Stoning- tl ton vessel put into Rio Janeiro with a ? cargo consigned to the British consul at that place. Her master was Capt. tl Thomas Dunbar, of Btonington, an old ti sailor, with the courage of a lion and the heart of a child. He lay in port u some days, discharging and receiving b cargo, and was at length ready to sail. The night before his departure the British consul sent for him to come to ? the consulate, and after a long preliminary conversation, told him that the emperor was in hiding in his house, and 3 asked Capt. Dunbar to aid in his escape. .. This the latter at once consented to do. The question then arose how it shonld be ellectod. The wharves and water J* fronts were lined with police and soldiers, T watching for the royal fugitive, and es- b capo seemed impossible. A plan was tinally agreed upon, and in the end tl proved successful. L The ship, which lay at one of the w wharves, was got ready for sea the next morning, and was on the point of get- ft ting under way when the captain snd- b denly recollected that he had forgotten f( to take his ship bread aboard. A mes- y seuger was accordingly dispatched, and in some way it was procured at the oon- w aula to. A wagon load of biscuit in bar- a) rola was sent down and rolled acrots tl\o e wharf and into the vessel's hold. In ^ one cf them was Pedro I. The ship got under Way, and when safe from pursuit the cask was opened and he was liber- ' ated, nearly exhausted by his position. The ship came to Stonington, where he " lande d unrecognized, and whence ho left a for Europe. He made Capt. Dunbar a 01 present of 8200 for his service, which at tho time was considered a munificent w reward. Capt. Dunbar frequently re- C] lated tho story in later years, and in an ri exceedingly graphic manner. He lived ei to bo over eighty, and died a few years d ago at the residence of his son-in-law, Capt. Hall, near Westerly, R. I. n ei The Indian Question. & Referring to the war with the Sioux ^ Indians, tho New York Herald says : flj We shall have to fight out of this as best we can?as we have before?with triumph in tho end, but with humiliation all the same, with a loss of money and, perhaps, of life. But now, when we are mourning the death of brave men, and what looks like a reverse to our arms, why can we not take up the Indian question again and solve it ? Can wo not deal ju&tly with the Indian ? Of tl course Sheridan will reinforce Crook and of course there will be another battle o: and a terrible punishment of the In- tl diaiis. But is this all ? Why not end the whole question now? Why not make one job of the Indian business? a' Why not march against the Indians with force enough to make every one a w prisoner i Then why not give them t? some one place to inhabit and keep w them within its limits ? There are not as many Indians in tho whole country n as there are inhabitants in the lower ei wards of New York, and we certainly " could handle them without this constant '< drain of blood and treasure. We might take Arizona or New Mexico, or we tl might purchase Liower California and 11 have a territory under military rule st where every Indian could live. It is inconsistent with our civilization and with bi common sense to allow the Indian to A rove over a country as fine as that tl around the Black mils, preventing its uevolopement in order that he may m shoot game and scalp his neighbors. k< That can never be. This region must la be taken from the Indian even as we ti took Pennsylvania and Illiuois. But p< while we build empires on his plains we BP should not kill him, we should not rob him, we should not treat him as a pan- w ther or n grfezlv bear. If the exoiting ci news from the Sioux region only awakens in us a sense of duty neglect- BP cd, of opportunities wasted, of uunec- w cessary losses in money and life, if it only compels us to do justice to the In- tc dian, it will, in the end, be a blessing to el him and an honor to ourselves. A " Strike " Question. A curious and novel point in law affect- ^ ing trade unions has been raised in a ^ Canadian court. A stonecutter at Mon- ^ treal named Valiu, who did not belong to the union, accepted work from a firm j at rates less than the nnion exacted, ^ whereupon tho union, by threatening a strike, compelled his employers to dis- ^ charge him. He now ruos the union, a regularly incorporated l>ody, for actual and prospective Iohh, fixing his dumages at 81,000, and will make a very hard fight for it. The Canadian law is very il stringer t on the subject of strikes and h all the relations of labor. t Fashion Notes. Hats for summer -wear are large. Ooetames still govern the feminine >ilet.

To Restore Drowning Persons. 1. Lose no time. Carry out these dictions on the spot. 2. Remove the froth and mucus from le mouth and nostrils. 3. Hold .the body, for a few seoonds aly, with the head hanging down, so lat the water may run out of the lungs ad windpipe. 4. Loosen all tight articles of olothing bout the neck aud chest 5. See that the tongue is pulled forard if it falls back into the throat By iking hold of it with a handkerchief it ill not slip. 6 If the breathing has ceased, or early so, it must be stimulated by preslro of the chest with the hands, in nitation of the natural breathing; >rcibly expelling the air from the lungs, ad allowing it to re-enter and expand lem by the elasticity of the ribs. " Betember that this is the most important ep of all. To do it readily, lay the person on his ack, with a cushion, pillow, or some rm substance under the shoulders; ten press with the flat of the hands rer the lower part of the breast bone id the tipper part of the abdomen, seping up a regular repetition and relation of pressure twenty or thirty mi's a minute. A pressure of thirty ouuds may be applied with safety to a rown person. 7. Rub the limbs with the hands, or ith dry oloths, constantly, to aid the rculation and keep the body warm. 8. As soon as the person can swallow ive a tablespooafnl of spirits in hot ater, or some warm tea or ooffee. 9. Work deliberately. Do not give up k> quickly. Success has rewarded the Bforta ol hours.
