The German steamer Tolosan, from Puget sound to Vladivostok, recently put into Honolulu battered almost into junk from the fierce lashing of wind and waves In her battle with a fright ful hurricane. The Tolosan carried one passenger, a Greek merchant who own ed a large shipment of fruit that form ed part of the Tolosan’s cargo. When the storm was at its height the Greek, with a razor gleaming in his hayd. fought his way against the gale to the bridge and signaled to the captain that he wished to speak with him. “Will the ship sink?” demanded the passenger. “Perhaps.” replied the skipper. “Are we going down now?” “No. We still have a chance.” “Will you send word to me when there is no longer hope?” “Get off the bridge!” screamed the Bkipper. “Why do you trouble me at a time like this? Go to your room!” “But will you let me know?” persist ed the Greek. ’Tin afraid of drown ing. and before the ship sinks I want tA cut my throat!” The gentleman from Greece arrived at Honolulu with Ids throat intact, hut would travel no more on tin* Tolosan and took passage for the orient on the liner China.- San Francisco Call, r c ■ This Is what Hon.

The Amherst Rangers were retained on horseback for such duty as might require speed, and were sta tioned close In the rear of Campbell’s own division, which now merely marched from behind the shelter of the knoll and halted in the view of the enemy, until sufficient delay should be afforded to the flanking di visions to attain their ground. Mildred, attended by Allen Mus- grove and his daughter, still main tained her position on the knoll, and i from this height surveyed the pre parations for combat with a beating heart. The scene within her view was one of intense occupation. The air of stern resolves that sat upon every brow; that silent but onward movement of the masses of men ad vancing to conflict; the few brief and quick words of command that fell from the distance upon her ear; ,jh e sullen heat of the hoof upon the sod, as an occasional horseman sped to and fro between the more remote bodies and the centre division, which yet stood in compact phalanx imme diately below her at the foot of the hill; then the breathless anxiety of her companions near at hand, and the short note of dread, and almost terror, that now and then escaped from the lips of Mary Musgrove, as the maiden looked eagerly and fear fully abroad over the plain; all these incidents wrought upon her feelings and caused her to tremble. Yet, amidst these novel emotions, she was not insensible to a certain lively and even pleasant interest, arising out of the picturesque character of the spectacle. The gay sunshine strik ing aslant these moving battalions, lighting up their fringed and mpy- ! colored huntings-skirts, and ca-stirig a golden hue upon their brown and weather-beaten faces, brought out in to warm relief the chief character istics of this peculiar woodland army.| And Mildred sometimes forgot her fears in the fleeting inspiration of the sight, as she watched the pro gress of an advancing column—at one time moving in close ranks, with the serried thickets of rifles above their heads, and at another deploying: into files to pass some narrow path along which with trolled arms and bodies bent, they sped the pace of hunters beating the hill-side for game. The tattered and service- stricken banner that shook its folds in the wind above these detached bodies, likewise lent its charm of as sociation to the field, the silence and steadfastness of the array an which it was borne, and its constant on ward motion; showing it to be encir cled by strong arms and stout hearts. Turning from these, the lady’s eye was raised, with a less joyous glance, towards the position of the enemy. On the most prominent point of the! mountain’s crest she could descry the standard of England fluttering above a concentrated body, whose scarlet! uniforms, as the sun glanced upon them through the forest, showed that here Ferguson had posted his corps of regulars, and held them ready to meet the attacks of the centre divis ion of the assailants; whilst the gllt-j tering of bayonets amidst the dark foliage, at Intervals, rearward along the line of the summit, Indicated that heavy detachments were stationed in this quarter to guard the flanks. The marching and countremarching of the frequent corps, from various pos itions on the summit; the speeding of officers on horseback, and the oc casional movement of small squad rons of dragoons, who were at one moment seen struggling along the sides of the mountain, and, at anoth er, descending towards the base or returning to the summit, disclosed the earnestness and activity of the preparation with which a courageous soldier may be supposed to make ready for his foe. It was with a look of sorrowful con cern which brought tears Into her eyes, that Mildred gazed upon this host, and strained her vision In the vain endeavor to catch some evi dences of the presence of Authur Butler. “We both look, perchance,” she said to herself, “at this very instant, up on yon hateful banner—and with the same aversion: but oh, with what more painful apprehension it is my fortune to behold it! Little does he thing that Mildred’s eyes are turned upon it. ’Tis well he docs not—his noble heart would chaU itself with tenfold anguish at the c uel thral dom that separates us. Yes, ’tis weM he does not dream that his Mildred Is here to witness this dreadful struggle,” she continued, musing over the’ subject of her grief, “it might tempt him to some rash endeavor to break his bondage. It Is better as it is; the misery of the thought of our afflictions should be mine only; the brave patience of a manly soldier Is his. and should not be embitted with sorrows that belong ndt to the perils of war.” “Sister,” said Henry, who had stolen up the hill unobserved, and now stood beside Mildred, “take courage and keep a good heart! The very day I often prayed to see has come—and It has come sooner than you promised It should. Here I am in the field, amongst men, and no play-game Is It, either, to keep us busy, but downright earnest battle. And then, dear sister, you are here to look on—Isn’t that a piece of good hick?” “Ah, brother, I could talk to you with a boastful tongue when all around us was peace and security. I cannot exhort you now. If I dare, I woud beg you to'stay by ray side. I have need of your comfort, and shudder with a chilly fear. Henry, that small hand of your can do no service to-day—and In truth, I can not stand to see you exposed to dan ger.” “In tears, sister! Come now, this Is not like you. Hasn’t Authur fought many a day and often? And didn’t you set him on, with good brave words for It?” “ I was not there to see him,” in terrupted Mildred. "Well, sister, I must get to my post,” said Henry. “I serve as aide- de-camp, and Horse Sho j Is to help me. By-the-way, Mildred, the ser geant is uncommonly silent and Dney to-day. He smells this battle like an | old soldier, and I heard him give a few hints to Campbell, concerning the marching np yonder hill:—he told him the-column should not dls* play until they got near the top, as Ferguson has no cannon; and the Colonel took it very gladly. Horse Shoe, moreover, thinks we will beat them—and the men have great de pendence on what he says. I shall: not lose sight of him to-day.” “For Heaven’s sake, Hefery,” ex-! claimed Mildred, “my dear brother,! do not think of following the ser-| geant! I,cannot part with you,” sfne added, with great earnestness; “it is an awful time for brother and sis- ter to separate—stay with me.” The cadet turned a look upon his sister of surprise, at the new light in which her present fears represented her. “I thought, Mildred.” he said, “you were brave. Haven’t we come all tnls way from home to assist Butler? : And are you now, for the first time—; just when we are going to pluck him from ihe midst of the w’olves upon that mountain—are you now to weep and play the coward, sister? “Go, go!” said Mildred, as she cov ered her eyes with her hand, “but, dear Henry, remember you have a weak arm and a slender frame, and are not expectea to take upon you the duties of a man.” “Besides,” said Mary Musgrove, Who had been in silent and perplexed witness of this scene, and who now put in her word of counsel, out of the fullness of her heart, “besides, Mis ter Henry Lindsay, what trouble would it give to sergeant Robinson, | and all the rest of them, if you should get lost scampering about the hills, and they shouldn’t know where to find you It would take up soi much of their precious time In look- 1 ing Tor you: and, I am sure, they haven’t much to spare!” “You are as valiant as a mouse,”; replied Henry, laughing, “and mon-1 strous wise, Mary Musgrove. Do you! take care of my sister, and speak a 1 word now and then to keep up her! spirits—that is, if your tongue doesn’t grow too thick with fright. Your teeth chatter now. A kiss, Mildred. There: God bless you! I must get to my post.” With these words. Henry bounded off towards the valley to rejoin his comrades. Half way, he met Allen Musgrove, who was now on his re turn to the top of the hill, whence he had withdrawn for a brief space to hold some converse with Robinson. “A word,” said Allen to Henry, as they met; “you are but a stripling. Remember that this day’s work is to be wrought by men of might—those who are keen of eye and steady of foot. In the tempest of battle your weight, Mister Henry, would be but as a feather in the gale. Yet in this fight none might be crushed whose fall would bring more anguish than yours. Let me beg you, as a rash and thoughtless youth, to think of that. The good lady, your sister—„ “ I cannot stay to hear you,” inter rupted Henry; “the column is begin ning to move.” And in a moment he was at the foot of the hill. THE TWO INVINCIBLES. Cod Liver Oil and Iron. Cod liver oil and iron in some form or other are prescribed by physicians the world over, more than any. other two remedies the world has ever known, for anemia or poor blood, weakness, convalescence, and all wasting and pulmonary diseases. Iron, because It is the bases of the blood and without a sufficient amount the blood Is impoverished, watery pale and impure. Cod Liver Oil, because it contains curative and reconstructive qualities greater than that possesed by any other one medicinal agent. In Vinol, modern science has given to the world a combination of these two world-famed tonics—Cod Liver Oil and Iron, but shorn of all useless oil or disagreeable features. Vinol is made by a scientific, ex tractive and concentrating process from fresh cods’ livers, combining with peptonate-of-iron all the medi cinal. healing, body building elements of cod liver oil, but no oil. As a body-builder and strength cre ator for old people, delicate children, weak, run-down persons, after sick ness, and for Chronic Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, and all throat and lung troubles, Vinol is unexcelled. , We ask Goffney people to give Vi nol a trial.

D. 1, March 16.—We have for years heard much talk of good roads. Every one seems agreed on this point, namely: We need, and should have, good roads. But now should we go about the matter? Cer tainly there Is some need of Improve ment with reference to the means now employed to attain this end. Therefore, I will venture to submit | this suggestion for what it may be, worth: Have it enacted into law, I that every ablebodied man, of a cer-| tain age limit, must work, say, four| days of every year on the roads of his township, unless prevented by illness or other lawful excuse from doing so. or pay a fine of at least four dollars a year for each and every year that he falls to do road duty And also see that the money thus paid into the county treasurey shall be iffeed to hire others to work in the place of those who relieve them selves of *oad duty by paying the flue, imposed for that purpose. And. fur thermore, see that the law be made very strict along this line. Such a law as this would. I am convinced ; give us up-to-date roads in every res pect, and be generally satisfactory.; I do not want to be considered nrfn-1 progressive, for I am not, but I am not in favor of extra taxation for the benefit of good roads. To judge from the liberality of the recent session of the legislature, I should think thal ( taxes are high enough. Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Land ran down to Hickory Grove Tuesday. “Life is no dream or thing of naught | But know you this, that life is thought, And to live is not life, if naught is wrought.” Girls, you shouldn't forget that it is leap year. It is said that the present queen of England once expressed the wish that she should one day come to be! loved by every one. And if some writers tell the truth, she has lived to realize her wish. She is enshrined in the hearts of all the English peo ple. They have always been accus tomed to kingly authority, therefore, the English people do not know what it is to live in a country and under a government such as we have. But we are Americans, and what pleases one people may not please another. Certainly the American people do no4 desire a king, at least, it is sincerely to be hoped that they do not. It is, however, not to be denied that those who live under the sway of England have some liberty of thought and action. But it is not my purpose to here write a treatise on politics and econo mies. That shall be left for some one more able to do it than I am. I only make the point that kings and queens can win the hearts of their subjects, if they will. So may writers, espe cially country writers like us, win the hearts of their readers, if they but try. The newspaper is one of the necessaries of life today, but what is a newspaper if the people don’t lend it a helping hand? Mr. J. L. S. says his work for The Ledger is. to him “a labor of love.” I think it is also one of much service, as he writes very newsy letters. I have several reasons for writing to The Ledger namely; First, I desire to exercise my literary talent, If I have any. Second. I wafit The Ledger. And third, there is nothing else for me to do. except to scribble my time away. The Farmers’ Union seems to be attracting some notice—more or less —over all the South.

Fear the Red!” The c-zar has issued an girder that several state buildings in St. Peters burg which In.d been painted red since the time of Nicholas I. must be re painted some other color. The fact is he dislikes tin* color red. Neither his wife, his daughters, the littlq grand duchesses nor the ladies of the court ever wear red in the czar’s presence. His abhorrence of the color is not due altogther to its associations with an archy and rebellion. When he was quite a boy lie was with his parents at Livadin. While walking with some companions one afternoon Nicholas came upon an old gypsy woman who was telling fortunes. There has al ways been a strain of the mystic in Czar Nicholas. He insisted that the woman should "read” his hand. Long sho gazed at ids palm and studied its lines; then, supposedly ignorant of his identity, she said. "Son of the czor, fear the red!" The incident deeply im pressed him. He described it to his father and mother, who. only laughed at him. But the impression remained in his mind and gradually has grown stronger. The czar’s fear of red has been increased by the events of recent years and by the knowledge that it is the color of the revolutionists.—Lon don P. T. O. Practicing For the Cotillon. “Nobody ever told me that I was a good dancer." declared Edward M. Greenway. leader of cotillons, “but I'll tell you a compliment a young woman did pay me once. She said. ‘You took me through that crowd without a col lision and without any one treading on my skirt’ “Well, I never had a dancing lesson in my life, but I used to practice danc ing in the days when women wore those great long trains and it was not considered good form to pick then up. Thev trailed along behind for several yards. Those were the days when you had to guide and keep moving with your partner so as to keep that train following gracefully.” “But how did you practice?” “Used to tie two sheets to an or dinary chair and then dance in and out among a dozen chairs scattered over a dance floor.”—San Francisco Chronicle. Precious Woods. Some woods are so precious that they sell by the pound instead of by board measurement French hurl brings from 15 cents a pound up, and a single log was sold in New York for $2,500. It is curious to note that the value of this wood depends upon the wart or knot which forms on the tree when young and that the protuberance Is supposed to be caused by the sting of an Insect. The twisted burl produces in time strange combinations of lines which take a high polish. A more ex pensive wood than the French burl Is a rare wood that comes from the coast of Africa and is commonly known as amboy. This frequently sells at 20 to 28 cents a pound. It is a reddish brown wood. Irregularly veined, and Is held In high esteem for Inlaying. Even ebony is sold by weight, commanding some thing like $70 a ton.—Chicago Record- Herald. The Twins. • “Two Mormon hoys went to school for the first time out In Utah.” relates Congressman J. Adam Bette, “and the teacher asked them their names. “ ‘John and William Smith.’ the boys replied. “ ‘Ah. then you are brothers! How old are you?’ “ ‘Each ten years old, ma’am.’ “‘Indeed! Then you are twins?’ “ ‘Please, ma’am,’ replied one of the boys, ‘only on our father’s side.’ ” Be careful about that little cough.
