A WILD ADVENTURE.
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

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.

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.?

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.

A TEXAS WEDDING.
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

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
