An Oregon Stage Held Up By One 31an-General 3Iaury's Fight Witb a Bull-A Coffin, But No Corpse. A LONE highwayman held up the stage from Ager to Kla. math Falls, Oregon,the other night, and two passengers, the driver, the mail pouch and Wells, Fargo and Co.'s box were robbed under circumstances that are almost without narallel for sheer nerve and bravado. The highwayman stood in ambush at the side of the road and did not once disclose his person, much less his identity to his victims. But they literally obeyed his every command, which was delivered in a firm voice. The stage left the railroad at Ager at three clock p. ]a., with Ed. Wal ters a; driver, and two passengers, John We!ls, a prominent and wealthy Klamaii stoekman and Populist Conuty Comnisioner of Klamath Cunty, and Emanuel Corra, a mer chant bound home to Picard, Cal. Aboat 10 o'clock, as the team slowed down to pull up the narrow Topsy grade, six miles long, a sudden com mand c.ae from ambush beside the road for the driver to hold up, and throw out the express box and letter pouches. The command was delivered in an imperious voice, and the driver did not stop to ask questions or wait for the robber to come from conceal ment. The express box and letter p.-onehes were promptly thrown ont. The hidden highwayman then di reuted his attention to Wells, the stockman, and he was told to cut open the letter pouches. Wells demurred, but obevel. He secured a pocket kuife and began slashing away at Uncle Sam's letter bags. When the robbei was satisfied that satisfactory progress was being made by the stockman he directed Corra, the other passenger, to break open the box supposed to contain Wells, Fargo & Co.'s treas ures. The merchant reluctantly went to work, but he seems not to have taken the proper implements of de struction, and made so much noise and confusion that the robber directed him to desist. Then he bade the driver to take an ax from the stage and make a more successful job and less noise. Walters did as required. When these things were done the highwayman preferred a firm request from his place of concealment in the brush for the driver and passengers to take off their coats ond, besides, leave the contents of their pockets with the other booty. Again the trio com plied, but it is believed that -they lost little in that manner. The plucked passengers and driver were then al lowed to get aboard the stage and drive on. It is not known whether any valuables were secured from the express box or letters. The robbery took phoce within a few hundred feet of a similar robbery hardly a month previously, and there is little doubt that it was executed by the same lone highwayman. It was carried out in almost the same man ner, the robber giving his orders from the darkness and not being seen by the driver and passengers, though his .resence close at hand was as firmly impressed upon them as if he had tood at the horses' heads and covered them with his gun. General Mlaury's Fight With a Bull. Around the Richmond camp-fires there is no cheerier face than that of General Dabrney H,. Maury, the vet eran. His favorite tale is this one, of his battle with a white bull: "It happened when we were stationed in Texas upon the banks of -the Rio Grande, and, being a little anxious one day regarding a small speck I saw moving in the distance, I determined to go softly forward to investigate it. I did not tell any one of my move ments, fearing to be laughed at as a false alarmist. As I1 crept through the brush toward the moving speck it sud denly grew much lar ger, and I saw it was coming straight toward me. I had no field glass but as I enjoyed an adventure I determined to meet thre enemy, no matter what it was. So]3 stood boldly up and waited. "In a minute it was in shooting dis tance of me. and then I saw it was a splendid white ball. Now, I was never f raid of Taurus, though I had had several experiences with him on the praree, ?c, star:ling my ground, I let (y at him~ with my rifie again and again. "I think I must hrte struck him, for he snorted and charged toward me. [ shot again, the shot taking effect in iis L-a1!. Ihnt my shot only angered him ankar:ie him fresh strength. With Sterrifie bellow, he lowered his head ani made for me. I took one look at his horms, rualized that there was no tme to fire again and dodged him. I umped to ons side into a pile of un de rbraish, and landed right ini the nist of a great cactus bush. Do you now~ what a cactus bush is? In its wild state it is a bundle of razors, ni'vy sharpened and turned blade to ard you, and I fell on top of twenty ''r ay there until I could find cour 'tc e rawl through the blades, and, trrily cut, I crept home. When I tl miy story my comrades did not believe me. 'Go over there hale a moile and you will find a white hull dead in the brush,' 1 said. He felt as isy on the cactus poinlt5, and if I had it to do over again i'd take my chance with the bull." A Coffin, But No Corpse. There could hardly be a more nue burial story than the account of an incident at Capdenac, France, recently. A boy ten years of age had ied in that little village, and after the services at the house the coffie was t aken in solemn state to the church where a further religious ceremony was held. After this the procession o mourners wended their way to the eLetery where the interment took 'lace with due forms. As the parents of the child returned o their home, where, all this time, the other chiliren had been left in cearge of an elderly relative, the youngest came running out of the house, and, without a trace of excite ment in his tone, in his natural con versational voice, said: "Papa, I have just seen Felix." Felix was the name ot the boy who buried in the little cemetery that la, over the hill. 'Be still! Be still !" sharpl, answered the father, the words of th child bringing up a gush of grief an' a flow of remembrance over the boy h had just lost. The youngster looked up wonder ingly at the agitated man. "I assur you, papa, that I have just seen hm and if you will follow me I will shol him to you; he is in the bedroom." Wondering, hesitating and hal frightened at the calm assurance o the child and his strange words, con vinced that there was some ghostl: visitant about the hcut, an ye, alt< gether disbelieving this, the man pu his hand into that of the child an went with hun. The boy pushe open the door of the small darkene sleeping room wherein the dead so had so recently lain. It was no ghos but what lie saw the father cvul scarcely believe, and be hid to P over to the bed himszlf before t1 evidence of his eyes would convinc him. There on the bed lay the bod exactly as it had been placed sow honrs before. In the excitement c the funeral ceremony they had foi gotten to place it in the coffin. Towed by a Big Catfish. Charles Thompsoa is a fisherma who feels equal to any fish that swim: He is proud of the strong fight I made with a ninety-pound catfish I (taught in the river near Tow Hen Island, says the Louisville Cou ier-Journal. He caught the fish on trout line that he set the night befo! thirty feet from shore. * When he went out to run be di not notice that anything unusual w: hooke3, but when he began to pu the line in he was not left long igioi ant of the fact that he had somethin of the nature of a whale. Flank Go don, who was also in the skifi, sa Thompson when ho made the fir. lurch forward. He "'lowed some thing was up," and spraag to Ii feet, thinking that his companion wa going overboard. He caught hold c Thompson's feet with a full determiu ation that if Thompson "went by tb board" he would go with him. In the meantime the boat was sP.: ning up the river at a wonderlul rat of speed, and Thompson was lying f on his stomach. with the line almo: cutting his hands in two. The fis carried the stziff about two miles u the river and then turned down strea: with so much suddenness as to almo: swamp the boat. The fish kept ti race up for about two miles down tb river, and finally darted in towar shore and toward a pile of brusl where it stoppeO. The skiff had bee going at such a high rate of speed thi it was run up on shore. The fish fe secure under the brush and "sulked, so the two men began to wrestle wit the problem of how to get it out. Finally Thompson managed tl thing by jumping into the river at seizing the fish around the body. F< awhile it was difficult to tell which wi the fish and which was Thompso: Gordon had in the meantime pulle out his scaling knife, and when ti fsh seemed to be on top Gordc reached out and cut the fish in ti gills. After that the struggle was u even and the fish soon yielded.

Josiah Flynt and a Companion Wind Up Their Stagy of Tramp Life In e England by a Visit to a "Spike." ~ OSIAH FLYNT, who has given r interesting studies on tramp life in Germany and in this country, has extended his in vestigations to England. He writes a paper entitled "Two Tramps in Eng I land." in the Century. He and his companion, a German student, com pleted a tour thrcugh the provinces with an experience in a "casual" at Notting Hill, London. Mr. Flynt writes: u We appeared at the door of the ward about half-past seven in the evening. A little window was raised, o and Istepped forward to state my business. "Unconsciously I leaned ai'nst the sill of the window, which 6 id-LndedI the in-pector in charge con siderabl1'. "Wha't's your naine?"he thandered. Still leaning on the sill, I gave him my nane honestly enough. He then rerwarkedl to some person inside that we were not accustomed to such places, evidently, and called out, "Stand back, will you!" Back I estood. He cried out again. "Take off 1 your bat !" My hat came off instanter. i Still again: "You come in here as if you was a meeleeonary. You're not; you're a casual." I was as meek as could well be. Byborg was itching to grab the inspector with his long arms. 1The next question was as to where we S had slept the night before. "Straw-stack," I replied. None of your impudence! You 1 slept out-why don't you say so? Have you got any money?" M "A ha'penny, sir." t "Hand it in.'" In it went. Then I had to tell my trade. which was that 3 of a sailor; and naturally the next 9 question was as to where I was bound. f "To Ameriky, sir, if I can ever get there." "You're goin' to tramp it, aren't you?" "Ye :, sir; that's my intention;" I but for the life of me I could not see t how I was to reach America that way. t I was so frightened that I would have h told him anything he wanted. P When he was through with us, g, 11 kind-hearted attendant took us in 1 hand, gave us some gruel and bread, .e a bath, clean night-shirtg. and then a e cell apiece, in which we slept very well. As there were only four inmates that morning, we were needed for the Lt cleaning up, and so escaped stone I breaking, which I dreaded exceeding' ly, and were put at various light oc. h cupations-or rather I was. Ryborg was the victim of his strength. Our e breakfast consisted of- the same dish as our supper of the night before. I was soon busy as general fireman, s~ scrubber, knife-cleaner, coal-carrier, 3. ish-washer, and helper of my sister d sufferer, Mrs. Murphy, as she washed e her task of towels and shirts. At noon awe had pea-soup and bread. I enjoyed Sit, but Ryborg did not. The pooi 'fellow was feeling badly ; he had had to scrub nearly twenty cells, and the bending over incident to such a feal had nearly broken his back. At din Sner he sa.id plaintively, "Flynt, I wani 5 to go home." "So do I," I replied ; e~ "but I fancy we're wanted here til - to-morrow morning." This proved tc s ba the case; but he felt better in the 4 afternoon, and got through comfort. ably, wheeing nearly a ton of stone Sfroin some of the cells to the general d pile. He earned his "keep" if ang Y poor prisoner did. g I 'fear I was more shiftless, for (1 about the middle of the afternoon the y attendant who was' with me at the > furnace said: "You might as wel 'd rest ; just keep your eye on the fires, that's all." It wae kind of him; an' y as! I ad at least earned my~ pea-souf 'e and grael, took his advice. He wai d kinder to me, I think, because I gave Y him a corn-cab pipe whieh lie had hac to take away from me the night be gfore. During the day he had asket -me several questions about it, and ? asaid, "It's a very'decent sort of pips .-coohin'-hike, you know." :' Doesn't Mark Twain always smoke one o' them pipes?" said he. 3 "Blest if I know" said I;' "but I cai a well think it." d "I'm a great friend of Marl -.

"Well," said I, "rmnit me, in thi t name of your respect, to present yer rY with my pipe; besides, yon've got it d anvhow." Ie thauked me profusely an'l promised to keep it forever Later in the day he reported it to b just as I had said, ":Sort o' coolin alike."

A peculiar custom prevails among the skippers and fishermen in Austra lian waters. These hardy marines are often for months at a time away from ?Ra THE SAILOR'S LETTEr-Box. their homes, cruising to and fro in search of fish, shells, coral or spongeq. Away from all communication with the civilized world, they have erected on points of vantage situated near much frequented ocean highways high stones, to which they attached an empty barrel at a convenient hight. Here they deposit all letters they wish to mail, with money for the postage, and a pearl or a bit of coral as a reward for the one collecting this mail. In fact, it is nothing less than a letter box on the corner cf the street. Regu lar steamers passing weekly call at those of the silent stations that are most patronized, and a system has been found to leave some mail there. All that is required is the previous annoucement at what mailpost letters are to be left, and the heart of the lonesome mariner may be gladdened with news from home every week. A special tax is now collected for call ing at such points.-Philadelphia Fiecord. In Memory of Unknown Dead.

The idea of erecting a monument to the memory of those who died on that awful night originated in the Knights of Pythias Lodge in Ashta bala, and a committee of the members brought it out before the people. It took three years to raise the amnount of money needed. The Lake Shore road gave $200. The monument is of New Hampshire granite and built in obelisk style. It is thirty-t wo feet in heig-ht and occupies a conspicuous location in the cemetery, where it can be seen miles away.
