FIGHTING ON HORSEBACK. A Desperate Encounter in Wdch Two Outlaws are Fatally Hurt. LLCOLN, Neb.. October 25.-During the summer a L".unig of ilor.mthieves have infested Howardi ad ujoiniig cotunties:Ld succeeded in running off several vaiuablie horses. Their methods of steting were so ably exceuted that the succ'deti its eluding the officers for several months. They had established statlio:ls, and would run their horses from station to station during the night until the. were safely out of reach in the Indian Territory and Texas. Finally the officers' suspicions were fastened upon Nooh Strohl, a cowboy, who has made himself notorious wn the frontier by his reckless and daring teeds. and .; im Taylor and Charles Smith. who do a great deal of traveling about the country without any visible occupation. Last Sunday the banditti learned tha:t the officers were on their trail and they skipped out in a north-westerly d i:ection through the sandhilis and canvuns of Northwestern Nebraska, with the Niieer; and their posse in close pursuit. Late last night the oiliecrs cane upon the thieves, vihO hald taken shelter with a settler who lives in a dug out. They were sleeping on their blankets by their horses in a stable. When sur rounded they soon realized the situation and determined to die rather than be taken alive. They mounted their horses and made a terrific rush for liberty, amid a volley of bullets from the posse. The thieves kept up a steady fire at the off ces Smith's horse was shot from under him and he received several bullet wounds, any one of which would prove fatal. Strohl at full speed, plunged his horse into a rav ine twenty feet deep and was almost in stantly killed. Taylor's horse was shot from under him and he gave iimse lf up. One of the filicers ieceiv-d a tiesh wound in the arm. There are several others con nected with this band of outlaws whom the officers think they will apprehend soon. FATHER McGLINjN. Probable Reinstatement of a renitent Priest. PlrosuCR(, Pa., October 2.-Rev. Father Brennen, pastor of the principal Catholic Church of Ne'o rh, N. J.. passed through here tonight on 1 v. ay to Joliet, Ills. in an interview he:,.d: "The probabilities ate .t T'e George party may lose one of its s-:a.: aaUlhrents before long." "Who is that?" "Father McGlynn. TLe re; of ihe mat ter is that Father 31cGlynn, iter. Dr. Bert zel, Bishop Moore, of St. Augug:ine. Fla., and myself, were all classmatesia the American College at Rome, and we have, ever since his fall from grace, taken a deep interest in him. We consulted with Arch bishop Corrigan, and he sanctioned a course we had determined upon 'pursuing. That course was to send for zDr. McGlynn and inform him that we had interceded for him with Archbishop Corrigan, and that if he wgs willing to ask forgiveness for his offenses, there might be some hope of his being restored to his church again. Dr. McG.'ynn met us soon afterward, and ex pressed himself as being willing to repent. The case will have to be adjudged by higher church authority than any in the country. but I feel safe in saying that Dr. McGlynn will shortly be taken back into the fold. He will become a priest once more, but will not be given a parish, of course." Southern Cotton Mlls. The Mianufacturers' Recrd shows that a rapid and marked development is going on in this great industry. In regard to the fnancial results, the Record says: "Among the earnings of different mills recently re Ported, the Crown Cotton Mill of Dalton, Ga., after allowing a part of earnings for improvements, have just declared an an nual dividend of 25 per cent.: the Trion - 31i11 of Trion, Ga., earned for its fiscal year just ended 16$ per ent.: the Udell Manufacturing Company of Concord, N. C ., have declared 10) per cent. for six months; the Griffin Manufacturing Comn .ayof'Griffin, Ga., for the year ended Agut1 made a net prolit of '24 per cent., adare so well pleased that they contem i6 a:biilding another mill. The Yacoa --llof Water Valley. Miss., made 17 per cent. on spinning operations, putting in 150 looms." The proof of the pudding is in eating it. People may talk interminably about manu facturing, but it is only when experiments have proved successfnl that the arguments are 'worthy anything. In view of this sue cesful experience the Record closes its re port with the statement that its faith re cerves the best practical indorsemnent by the Slong-array of new mills that are being put -up by the most experienced cotton null mnef of the South. They have tried the business through times of adversity as wc1l as through periods of prosperity, and they show their experience by building addi tional mils. It closes as follows: "We are in favor of building cotton mills, (1) because the South ought to manu facture its own raw material into finished 9products; (2) because the greater the num b er the greater will be the prosperity of all the mills; (3) because they furnish employ -ment to thousands of hands that would -otherwise be campelled to remain in idle ness; and (4) because we bl~tieve that the record of the past shows that with as few -exceptions as can be found in almost any line of industry, well mianagzed Southern mmll have yielded good profits to their owners." Girls Fight for Bights. State Arbitration Cormissioner F. F. *Donovan has discovered a sculiar state of things in the factory of the Pacitic Tuck ing and Manufacturing Ctompany at 471 Eighteenth street, Brook;y:'. A man named Fisher runs the establishm~ent. He employs twenty girls who wot k at irim muing ladies' garments. The~ girls had been getting $5 a wee~k. They regaurded thi- in suflicient and asked for an increase of $1 a week each. Fisher was compel<:d to grant this, but he did not propose to keep up the payment very long, ie began by dis charging the girls and tiring inexperienced help in their places. The girls have an *organization, and they went on a strike. Commissioner Donovan tried to arbitrate, and failed, as neither side would concede anything. .He will report the matter to the Commission. The girls claim, in addi tion to the small pay they receive, bad treatment in other ways. A gas engine is used, and they allege that the air is very often T-oisonous with gras. A girl nmunedl Gertie died not long ago, and it is thought the bad air hastened her death. Another grievance was that they were allowed only half an hour at noon. The girls claim that Fisher makes about $40O a week from the labor of each girl.-e' Er'k ~Sar'.

The Impetus Which Has Borne It Through successive stages of rth-erly Now, we don't mean the great busi ness bustle which belongs to the early fall and winter trade, nor the great bustle of the humming and whirling marts of manufacturing energy. We mean the great bustle of modern fash 1o:. Nothing has outstripped the bustle in its gig-ntic stride for prodigious excel lence.' It is paradoxical that this "out ward form" of fashion, which has never been literally in front, has still left all mo'listic rivals behind. We can recall when this startlingly reproductive fruit received the distinct impetus which has borne it through successive stages to the present extraor dinrv condition of development. The bustle got a wondrous impetus from an accident and alarm of the war. We have intently observed its onward march toward immensity for more than twenty years; and, now that it has ,rown iar;e enough to comprehend this commentnry, we pay to its historic origin our respectful compliments. The bustle of the war period in the south was cut crescent-shaped, was hand-sewed, and was then padded through an open end with cotton or sawdust. It was a modest, unobtrusive bustle in its manners and when proper ly adjusted was quite invisible to the wearer and nearly so to the world. Like certain lunar eclipses, it could be viewed only from a very limited area. When Sherman's Christian battalions were beaten through the backways of Georgia and the Carolinas it w s deemed, for prudential reasons, best deposit domestic treasure, such as money and valuables, where they would not confront these patriots. It was not at first suspected that the soldiers would appropriate these effects, but it was feared that the gilt bric-a-brac, and brooch, and bracelet jewelry might at tract their admiration and impede their march by tempting them to stop and examine the precious wares. When brought into full relief by pow criul field lenses it was at last seen that Sherman's Christian battalions were an army of incontinent kleptomaniacs, and'that new ingenuities would be in constant need to escape their keen and acute methods of detecting the secret places of hidden treasures. Biding places were numerous in truth, but their instincts for stealage were quite as diverse and quite as many. At this crisis the bustle played a his. tone part. It became a safe-despoiit for imperil ed jewelry possessions. Both cotton and sawdust bustles were now brought into a new use. They were ripped and rid of their waste, and then were rewadded, but this time with small wares and valued gems. Two abnormal effects followed, the first being a disturbance of the symmetry and gravity of the former bustle, the second being a marked increase in its uroportions. This made it the more observable, and this, too, led to its eventual detection by certian of the sol diers, which discovery culminated in the theft of many bustles,gtogether [with their precious and highly-prized con tents. What was next to do? Shrewd and resourceful maidens soon fell upon another device. There was continual peril of loss while the bustles were worn in their allotted places upon the person, but there was hope of escape for themn if they could be successfully ecucealed elsewhere. But where, ob where? In the house? No! for Sher man eutered with lurid fagots. In the wvoods' No! for his marauders roosted upou the boughs. So the noble women resolved to bury their trinkets in the fields. The broad acres thus became the depository of their charms and treasures and the carth covered up their-bustles. See yonder dune where the tasseled stlk is nodding to the breeze and you couli hear the rustle of the corn-blade? Well, once von could hear the rustle of the bustle. 'See those tiny hills whence the hopeful germ of the happy potato is looking toward the sun? Well, those little hills were once sown broadcast with those beautiful suggestions of dromedarial architecture kniown in the parlance of worldly fashion ae-bus ties. What became of them? We can not answer for them all. Nor can we repress the thought that had they all taken root and ripened and risen in luxuriant loveliness what a harvest of bustles there would have have been! But, like other tender and precarious vegetation, bustles had to take their chances-and more, too., Some of them, as before, fell to the cupidity of Sherman's Christian sol diers, who relentlessly uprooted them; other, after the passage of military peril, were resurrected to be trasns planted elsewhere, and others still, be ing unmarked, were never found by those who had hastily and hopefully en tombed them. But a great an unexpected day had dawned for bustles. Ofthe number that were left in the earth a vast pro portion of those which had been filled with sawdust in time took root, and ex uberantly blossomed and flourished. Those which had contained cotton, however, wen~t generally to seed. We would say here that from this startling botanic phenomenon and the imressive date and situation we have been enabled to locate unmistakably the rise and progress of the American bustle; and we been convinced, too, that nothing short of the most pertina cous and painstaking care and watch fulness could have brought this indis pensale appurtenance of modern fe male beauty to ita present extraordi nary size, vigor, and variety. We have not space to fully present our deductions from the important cir cumstances that surround the bustle or from the beautiful physiological female creations that stand immediately in front of it. We can not contrast the early amd almost unnoticeable product we saw platnted in the past with the prodgius and illimitable fruit of our d:'s without the encroachment of won dei- upon our thoughts and sublime and poetic indency toward blank verse. If we view the matter in a practical and dispassionate vein, we are forced to the conviction t at hustles make a better cron for orolitable or ornamental farming than breadstutrs. We believe there is no known abridgement to its dimensions, and that faithful and as siduous tillage will produce hustles of good quality quite as large at least as not air balloons. There must be more money in a crop of bustles of this size than in several bales of cotton. When the bustle has been developed to its probable limit we think the lady who wears one will escape recognition if not, indeed, observation. On a re cent visit to Augusta our attention was called to a buslde of the "pneumatic" speces. This is a graft of the bulb va ret', and is filled with atmospheric oxy ~enI aspoe nnllinga a yong lady be tore it much as a peramoutator is engi neered by a nurse. The bustle was the admiration of one of the main thor oughfares of Augusta. The lady turned to gaze upon the elegant stationary in the Chronicle windowr. Being then on a profile the effect was at its best. She wore a terra cotta chimney of hat and with the prolongation of her body growing out of the new "pueumatic" bustle resembled very closely a rural summer cottage with a stove flue fLed at on. end. Modisticiar has indeed trenched closely on anatomical perfec tion when an exquisite female form can be made to counterfeit a farm shanty with a ventilating shaft at the gable. The department of agriculture will confer a national blessing by distribut ing the seed of this bustle free. We should like to alternate the pneumatic variety of adjustable bustle with Ber muda grass or Bermuda onions. Greensboro (Ga.) lomne Journa. The Bee's Sting a Uaal Tool. A new champion has arisen to defend the honey bee from the obloquy under which it has always rested. Mr. Wm. F. Clarke, of Canada, claims to have discovered, from repeated observations, that the most important function of the bee's sting is not stinging. In a recent article he says: My observations and reflections have convinced me that the most important office of the bee sting is that which is performed in doing the artistic cell work, capping the comb, and infusing the formic acid by means of which honey receives its keeping qualities. A.i I said at Detroit, the sting is really a skillfully contrived little trowel, whit which the bee finishes off and caps the cells when they are filled brimful of honey. This explains why honey ex tracted before it is capped over does not keep well. The formic acid has not been injected into it. This is done in the very act of putting the last touches on the cell work. As the little pliant trowel is worked to and fro with such dexterity, the darts, of which there are two, pierce the plastic cell surface and leave the nectar beneath its tiny drons of the fluid which makes it keep weil. This is the "art preservative" of honey. A most wonderful provision of nature, truly! Herein we see that the sting and the poison bag, with which so many of us would like to dispense, are essential to the storage of our coveted product, and that without them the beautiful comb honey of commerce would be a thing unknown. If these things are so, how mistaken those people are who suppose that a bee is, like the Prince of Evil, always going about prowling in search of a victim. The fact is that the bee atte-.ds to its own business very diligently, and has no time to waste in unnecessary quar rels. A bee is like a farmer working with a fork in his hay field. le is fully occupied, and very busy. if molested or meddled with, he will be very apt to defend himself with the implement he is working with. This is what the bee does; and man, by means of his knowl edge of the nature and habits of this wondrous littlo insect, is enabled, in most cases, to ward off or evade attack. It is proof of their natural quietness, industry, and peaceableness that so many thousands of them will go through a summer of ceaseless activity close. to your dwelling house, and perhaps not half a dozen stings be indlicted during a whole season.

"It is impossible," he said, "to speak too strorgly of thelosses which have been incurred in connection with hlad. I believo a depreciation of 30 per cent. would fairly represent the change that has taken place."

Each O.her. CmV ..", -U.. Oct. 25.--The jcaiousihs wiich have cexs:cd betwcea Governor l'on:kie(r -ad Senator Sherman, growing out of the espirations of each to a place on the National Republican ticket, bid fair now to break out in open hostility. Notling but policy on the part of each will prevent it. Each is conscious of the other's power to crush the hopes of both, if he so desires, and each knows how des perate the other is. The adoption of the resolution endorsing Mr. Sherman as Ohio's choice for the Presidency, which was dole by the Republicta State Convention at Toledo, and to which the Foraker men racefully submitted, instead of ending a quurrel etwen party leaders, was really the entering wedge which threatens to tadiy split the Republican forces in this campaign. Tlii election of Foraker and the loss to the Repaiicans of the State Legislature would ilh Mr. Foraker of Mr. Sherman as a rival far a place on the national ticket. That is easy to see. It would give the young Governor special prominence and leprivt; the Senator of that lever he relies so much upon to raise himself into notice -a legi-lative resolution from his own State. The State Committee is a Foraker committee decidedly. Its chairman is the Governor's sppointce as Railroad Commis stoner, and its chief secretary his appointee as State Librarian. It is natural, there fore, that this committee should manage things in the intere:t of Mr. Foraker. In his speech at Belfontaine last week Senator Sherman laid special emphasis on the statement that ihe main object in this campaign was the election of a R-epublican General Assembly. This ignoring of Mr. Foralker resulted in a conclave here of iea ing Foraker and Sherman men, the re sult or which seems to be that the State Republican Cgmnittee is paying a little more attention to the General Assembly elections and devoting its time less exclu sively to the election of Mr. Foraker.

About eighteen months ago she became sickly and had a cough and was conined to bed, and it was thought tat she ha~d consumption. The treat ment by physicians failed to give relief. In D~ecember, I884, a node or knot the size of a goose egg formed just above the pit of the stomach, which, when lanced, diseharged matter for eight or nine months. One of these also fonr~ed under her arm, and three on her back, which discharged matter for a consider able timc. For six months of this time she coitined to the. htouse, and most of the time in bed. The streh often re fused food, by rejee+5g what she had eaten. She used a great deal of medi cine, but failed to be cured. I bought one bottle of your 13. B. B. (made in Atlanta, Ga.) and gave it to her and she commenced to improve. I then bought and~ave her three bottles more, and she contmnued to improve, and in two mnths' time her cough had ceased, her constitution strengthened, appetite and digestion good, all discharges ceased, noes or knots uisappeared and she went to work apparently healthy and fattened up greatly. This woman had a married sister of near the same age who was affectd in precisely the same way and about the same time. 'The had nodes or knots on pit of her stomach, back, etc. She did not take any B. B. B. and the node on her stomach ate through to the cavity. She continued on the decline and wasted away, and finally died. These were two terriblcecases of blood poison-ono used B. B. B. and wasl speedily cured-4he other did not use it and died. It is mest assuredly a most wonderful blood pi: rifler. I refer to merchants of this town. Yours truly, W. T. RomLSoz. Tishabeo, Ala., May 1, 1880. A SEIERIF2a RELEASED.
