UDSON. : URSWEEALES AiS THE FIELD OF ADVENTURE TF-P,ILLING INCIDENTS AND DARt 2NG DEEDS ON LAND AND SEA. -rvy Men on the Range-The Des perado and the indians-Cattlc Hold Up a Train. M0ME old plainsmen were sit ting in the smoking compart ment of a car on the North, ern Pacific when, just aftei suL:ci, it came in siaht of the dark dark red bou-e triwmed with black, with.- its broad piazza overlooking i tiny :treaim-, which the Marquis de 'Vor,s br ', on his headquarters ranch at - The view of that house -tartd Sone of the old plainsmen to ,e!!ing storit-s of the range. "wa; on a train coming out here o3 Jay," said one. '"Vhen ihe Mar 'ju:s hi his priva-e car hitched to tiie end of th.. train. It was at just aooit the ieight of the trouble he had with the rustlers, and if I hadn't known a>out it before, I would have icarned the fact sure that trip. I had met .the Marquis as a cattleman, and so when he h11ppened through the train und saw me, he invited me to have a czgar with him in his car. It was a good cigar, too. "Well, we sat there talking until we were about ifty or sixty miles from Melora, when the conductor came in with a telegram tLat said 300 men, all armiel. had gathered at "Medora to give the Marquis a reception that would end i killin; him. The con ductor wanted to know what he shoald do with the car of the "Marquis. 'Ob,' said the Marquis, 'I wouldn't bother about that now. Wait till we get there and I'l tell you what to do.' "So the conluctor went out feeling about -s nervous as he ha3 ever felt in his life, as he said afterward, for he knew some of the gang to be very much in earnest in their determina tion to kill the FrenChman. But the 1iarqiis was not disturbed a little,bit. He didn't ever mention the subject after the conductor went out. After a couple or hours or so the conductor came into the car again. "'Here's your station," he said,'and they are all waiting for you. "'That's all right,' said the .arquis, 'just set my car on th3 siding op posite the platform.' "We pulled up to the platfoia, and it was well covered with men, eveiy one of whom would have been glad to see the Iarquis strung up to a telegraph pole, but that Frenchman, as smiling and chipper as ever he was in a ball room, stepped off the car, nodded to the men here and there whom he knew by sight, and walking right through the gang, went up to his house on the hill there. It was his nerve that saved him. They were just tough enough to like it." "We had some lively times in those days," said another. "I remember being on the train about here one night. It was the east-bound train, any way, and about as dark as it is no~w, or a little later, perhaps. We'd stopped at a water tank and I was smoling here just as we are now, when one of my meni came into the car. It was a hundred miles from the ranch, and I was mightly surprised, for he was badly winded and could just talk in a whisper. "'Quick !' he said. 'Hide me some where. There's six of 'em after me. "'Get into the berth over mire,' 6aid I, telling him n.j number. "'It won't do. They'll be in here and search every berth,' he replied, and so I just put him in my own berth and got in in front of him. I hadn't got my head on the pillow when they came; and they looked into every~ berth, too, but when they saw ra3 they didn't reeagnize me, and that is all that saved both of us."-New York Sun. The Desperado anid the iadians. "It takes a special kind of courage to fight Indians," said iajor Edward Ragsdaie, of Topeka, recently. "They're pretty sure to surprise you and theyv're slippery as quicksilver rna as hard to catea. Their yelling nd whooping alone are enough to stampede men not trained to their style of figh3ing. Sometimes th'ey fight under cover and you catch a fire from an enemy you can't get sight of ; and again, where there hasn't been one to be seen, they seem all to spring out of the ground at once, and charge you as though nothing could stand their onset. Then there's the knowledge that if they ca tch you alive, you'll be skinned alive or burned or your life tortured out of you by slow degrees in i t'ousand other ways they can think up to make you suff'er. There's man; a stout-hearted desper ado, a terror an white settlements and not afraid to have a pistol or shotgun scrap any hour of the day or night with a man of his own color, who doesn't count for a row of pins in an Indian fight. "Take Sam Brown, of Nevada, for a ease in point. He wasn't afraid of any man that wore boots, and he was the terror of the mining camps every where he went. The Piute Indians got bad one time and a party was or ganized in +he camps to go against them. Sam joined the volunteers, and everybody in the party and all that stayed behind were talking about the big deeds Sam Brown would do, and chuckling to think of the way those redskins would be wiped out when they ran up against him. "Well, when they came upon the Indians things didn't turn out quite as they had expected. It was the whites that got licked out in short order, and those that weren't left on the ground stampeded for safety. Sam Brown was >ne of the first ones to run and the pace he set his horse as to gel away from those redskins was somet thing that beat quarter racing in the way of reckless riding. As t.hey stampeded d-)wn a canyon, every man trying to be "'emost to get away, Sam hailed Joe '"cMurtrie, who wvas ridmng a better horse than his - "'Oh, MIaec Pall your horse a little so I can come up. We'll ride safer ogether.' "MecMurtrie's answ. r to that friend!v invitation was to bend down to his horse's neck, set in the spurs andl get out of that canvon ahead of Sam su.! back to Bodie as fast as hoofs could carry him. He knew Sam Brown, and that if that worthy once got alongsik him he wouldn't hesitate to shoot him off his horse so as to get a better mount foe himel+' Mter the all ernt bak to the settlement he didan't go roun-, to places where he was likely to meet. Sam, lest it might stir k!im up to un pleasant recollections of their Indian campaign-people were that consider ate of others' feelings in those days when the other happened to be Sam Brown. Cattle Hold Up a Train. A fight between a locomctive and a wild bull was the spectacle thPt enter taiaed and delayed the passengers on a Spanish railway train the other day. Coming around a curve between the stations of Moravel and Canavare, near the Portuguese frontier, the en gineer saw a herd of wild cattle on the track ahead. He sounded the whistle and the surprised cattle-all but one -took to their heels. The one that remained was a huge bull. who low ered his head and with a hoarse bellow charged straight at the oncoming en: gine. The shock killed the bull and derailed the locomotive. While the trainmen and passengers were doing their best to get the en gine on track again-so the Spanish paper says which tells the story-the herd of savage cattle, having got over their fright, returned to the fray and charged the workers, who retired hastily to the cars, where they barri caded themselves. Then a veritable siege began. After the first few mo ments of stupetied surpri,se had passed the gen darmes, who always accompany Spanish trains, gathered courage and commenced an attack with stones upon their four-footed enemies. In reading the Spanish journalist's spirited ac count of the heroism of the military one becomes lost in a maze of conjec ture as to why they did nct use their guns. At any rate, the battle lastod E%wo long hours, and toward nightfall the wild cattle decided tc beat a re treat. The passengers and the train crew finally got the locomotive on the rails again and "cabin-caha" (which is French for "merrilly" it proceeded on its way. Deaten and uWhippe(l by a Snaket Homer Rodgers, of Ocala, Fla., whI is abont twelve years old, was bittei and whipped by a snake on a recent night. The boy's father has a sort of private "310," and among his iolle& tion are several large snakes of the -White Oak" variety. These srLakes are said to be non-poisonous, and Mr. Rodgers has allowed them to run at will. One night, as Homer was en tering the front gate, he was struck several violent blows in the face by some object that lashed out in the dark. Then the boy felt something twine itself about his arm and begio to lash him fiercely. The boy ran int( the house, screaming with pain and fright, and fou'd a monster "White Oak" snake wrapped about his arm. The snake was striking the boy in the face with its fangs and lashing him about the body with its tail. iMrs. Rodgers pulled the snake away from the boy and killed it. The boy he.d been bitten in several places about the face and neck, and the wounds~ were bleeding freely. His arm was black and blue where the snake had twined itself, and the lashes 'f the reptile's tail had striped his body. The bo' face was horribly swollen, but the doctors said he would recover unless blood poisoning set it. The snake was coiled on one of the gate posta and sprang on the boy as he passed. The Gun Hlad a Peculiar Click. Seeming trifles have hanged many a man. Clarke 3M1ler, of Dallas, prob ably realizes this. Miller was recently sentenced to the penitentiary for life for the assassination of Hagan Roberts, a wealthy farmer. Last March Roberts and his family were sittin~ by the fireside in his room when they were startled by a demand to throw up their hands and by the appearance of two masked men. One of the as sailants fired, striking Roberts, who died within a few hours. As the man who fired the shot brought down his gun a peculiar click was recognized by one of Roberts's sons, wvho had used the same gun a few days before. This click was due to the looseness of one barrel. Clarke Miller an-1 ELow ard Parton were arrested on the charge of murder. The gun with the peen liar click was found in Miller's posses sion. He had run to his home, and, in order to avoid suspicion, had him self rammed down two charges into the gn and had gone out to join in the search for the murderers. When the loads were withdrawn, it was found that he had neglected to put any piow der in the gun. Truth is stranger than detective stories-. A Fight With a Shark. A terrible fight with a shark took place at Vado, on the Ligurian coast, the other day. T be bathers were alarmed by the appearance of this "wolf cf the sea" swimming about sixty feet from the shore, and a naval officer who was sup erintending the demolition of a steamer got a gu from a Custom House officer and shot at the shark, wounding it in the head. Believing it to be hors de combat a sailor from a torpedo boat jumped into the sea to finish it and drag it to land. But the fish was quite capable, and tried to seize the sailor. Seeing : te man's peril the naval officer Uieutenant Ehto -jumped into the sea in his turn to assist the sailor. The ho brave fellows succeeded in killing the shark, amid the applause of the spectators, who hadanxiously watched the fight. The fish turned out to be about five feet long and weighe.l liht te over 11 cwt.- London Daily News.

BRYAN, iEE 11L"S BAR DECLARE9 ITS RNEGARD AND AD31[RATION For the Judge Who for "Fourteei Horrible Years stood the Principal Barrier Between Us and the Encroachments of Power." At a meeting of the Greenville Bar, xId in honor of the late Hon. Geo. i. Brvan, the following memorial and esoIttion. were unanimously adopted: In looking back upon the history of >ur Stete the most casual reader mtLst -ecoguize that to the members of thO egal profession belongs the credit of omc of our greatest and best reforms; md that to them we owe a debt of ratitude for the extrication of the olonv as well as the State from some >f hel greatest perils. In the early istory of the colony, for instance at 1, eriod when it seemed that the little :omnniuit.y, surrounded by savages mud rcm->tc from the mother country, xas about to be corrupted dnd lost iner the influence of the gold. 6 irates. it was Chief Justice Trott xhu, by his course upon the Bench, roused public sentiment and finally meceeded, with the aid of the Bar, in bringing the leaders to justice. Again, it the close of the war for indepen lence, when the victorious party was ent upon revenge and the State was rast drifting to civil war, it was the voice of Judge Burke, from the Cir mit Bench, that called a halt, and by :he fearlessness of his conduct and mpartiality of his rulings brought all ight thinking men to a realization of he ianger, and restored peace and rosperity to the country. These are )t two instances of the influence of the BeneL. Many more might be ited, bnut none more striking than the idicial career of the Rind, good man n honor of whom we are assembleA ere to-day. W6 say his judicial aree, for while other Judges i tiis 3tat! have been called upon to meet >articular emergencies. Judge Bryan or fcurteen horrible years stood the rincipal, and at times the only bar ier tetween us and the encroachments f power. Having been A consistent pponent of secession, he could with :ruth take the oath that he fel no ;ympathy with a war for secession, but is heart was ever and at all times in leepest sympathy with the sufferings > hi; people, and absolutely loyal to he cause of constitutional liberty and ;he rights of the citizens. When he took his seat upon the Bench there sat at his side a Circuit udge in full sympathy with the do ninant p,arty. At the door, we might ay, were the bayonets of the United states army. Near by was a military ribunal claiming jurisdiction in all ,riminal matters. In Washington a lngress determined to revolutionize he State Government. The questiont vas immediately presented whether he civil power had priority over the nilitary, and Judge Bryan met it in manner worthy of all praise. lthough prevented by brute forc rom enforcing the process of the Jourt, yet his course was such as to Lrrest the attention of the North, and .o set in motion those influences which nally broughtus relief. In opposing heC efforts made to drive the Bar out i the Courts, the infamous Enforce net Act, the attempts to deprive the ,it >ens of the State of the right of :ril by jury of the vicinage--in all .hese~ strugles (each of them of vital mportance' to the country) Judge 3rvan was a tower of strength in be iaff of the right. Not until the ee ion of a Democrat to the office of 'resient of the United States did hese eersecutionls come to an end, and mnlv then did Judge Bryan think of eti~rig. This he determined upon in 88s0. He had reached the age when -eos is the ruling desire of man. ['hough his mind was still sound, his ,nowv locks and slightly bent figure itested that he bore upon him the veight of years. He enjoyed the love na ;eneraition of his family and riens. He had the right by law to etire upon full pay, and amid the ,ladits of the entire State he stepped [own from the seat he had so long .dorned. After his retirement he re urned once more to the quiet, modest ife o which he was almost fond. nrroundd by a devoted family the lownward path of life, though accom anied by physical "labor and pain," he common inhertiance of all manhind vho r.ttained to four score years. was teW9 with many flowers. On the 28th day of September, at Lis simmer home, he passed away in he n.idst of those he loved. It is this ent that we have met to commemo nie. In doing so we do honor, no lv to him, but to ourselves, our pro ession of our State, of which he was a liutinguished native, and a worthy ex .mle to al11 men. Therefore, be it resolved by the Bar f Greenville County: First. That in the death of the Hon rade George S. B3ryan, late United ;tates District .Judge for the District if Soth Carolina, the State has lost ne of her most distinguisbed citizens, he value of whose service to the coun r cannot be over-estimated. Second. That we consider it due to tim and to ourselves that we put upon -ecord our admiration of his virtues .nd talents, our pride in him as a fel o Carolinian whose name must pass to history as one of the greatest men >f our State, and our sorrow at parting orver with one whose presence among s was always a pleasure. Third. That we offer to his widow nd children our sincere sympathy in his their bereavement. Fourth. That the Greenville news apers, the Charleston News and ourier and the Columbia State be re uested to publish this preamble and 'esolutins, and that the secretary of his meeting be instructed to send a opy of the same to the family of the f the deceased. Fifth. That the chairman of this eeting present these resolutions in pen Court at the next of the United ;tates District Court in Greenville,and equest that they be spread upon the cainutes of the Court.

Members of the Diplomatie corps seldom express their opinions for publication, and then they do they usually get into trouble either with this goveninent of their own: as was the case with the predecessors of tLc present Spanish and Hawaiian ministers. not to mention Lord Sackville West who has just bobbed up again, whose troubles are remem bered by most newspaper readers. In pri vate the diplomats often express very inter esting opinions upon international topiks. For instance, the following, which came from a well known European miuber of the crops and was given among personal friends with perfect freedom, and with no idea that it would ever be puilishvd. The conversa tion had been upon the present attack of jingoism which has seizol many of our news papers, and when the diplomat was quiz;zng ly informed by his hot "it's up to you," lie smiled and said: "Bah' there isn't the slight est danger of a war between the United St ztes and England. over Tenezaela; orany thing else. The two countries have too much in common. During a long staj in this country I have noticed that the newspa per talk of a war with England begins regu larly about a year before your Presidential campaign and ends on eleetion day. It is merely a way your politil:;an; h:tv. of e:eit lug public interzt. This year Spain has ben aldet to En;land, uw'ng to the reclu tivn in Cub)a. Whilt the Sp:znish talk may not be entirely for political purposes. it is practica'ly meaniugless. Spain neither has the m ney. nor the men to fight the U. S., whatever her ,eelination might b.. should this government take official notice of the continually increasing public sentiment in favor of the Cuban revolutionists. The U1. S. may, however, find itself engaged in war in the near future, not with a European na tion, bat wth Japan. Tue Japs think be vause they licked a lot of unorganiscd poor ly armed and worse fed Chinese that they can li(k the best army in the world. Theg also think that their country is destined to become a great maritime and mercantlle na tion. Having such thoughts it naturally follows that they should have a desire to spread out, as it were. They propose aus a starter to the spreading process to attempt to get possession of Hawaii, and if an excure can be found will not hesitate to us fofe0i If they should, what can this governtnet do but fight? It is true that your present id-: ministration has been unfriendly to the pres: ent government of Hawaii. but your Con gress has declared that no foreign cotintry should interfere with Hawaii and your con. stitution places the power to declare war solely in the hands of Congress. Mark the prediction; if your country has a tar in the near future it wil! be with Japan. Some talk has followed an address; advisL ing the Negroes to go to Liberia. which was delivered here this week by Bishop Henry M. Turner, of the African 3. E. Church. He declared that the Negro had no future in America. while in Liberia he might be -om e a great statesman, a great general, or a mil lionaire. After expatiating upon the num erous advantages of Liberia, which he called "the Negro's promised land." he made the astonishing statement that 2,000,000 thrifty and industrious American Negroes are ready and willing to go to Africa. b)ut lack the means to do so. He said this government ought to run a line of steamers to Liberi:a, crrying free the N,groes who wished to go there, and, on behalf of the government of Liberia lie promitsed th'.at_every family which went there should be given 25 acres of land for culti'ation. It seems difficeult to get at the real facts about Liberia. Notwithstand ing the statements of Bishop Tamner. others equally worthy of bel ief have declared that Liberia had no advantages to offer the Amer ican Negroes. and that those who have gone there would gla-dly retnn if they could.

Miss Cornwall's Wonderful itecovery e'2 Zclth:--Uecame Well in Two Months Alter an Ullness or Six Years. From te Ri.yfste'r. ewc Hfaren, Conn. In this rapid age of ours when so nmany men and women are old at fity. ore who has lived three-quarters of a century, and then, after debility and suffering, regains health and vigor, must be regarde I with a feeling akin to wonder. A New England lady has been found who has had this re markable experience. In the family of Clarence Williams. a Che shire farmer on the .Meriden road. Cheshire, Ct., lives Miss Cornelia Cornwal, a lady seventy-three years of ag". For several years Miss Cornwall's health has been de ining very rapidly, caused by a general de bilit y. Her friends feared that the resoecte.1 lady had not long to live; but a kind Provi dece directed the aged lady, and in a news papr advertisement Misa Cornwall read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills-a few boxes of which she procured at once, and w:th the result that is best told in her own words. "About six years ago.' Miss Cornwall be gan, "my health commnene. to fail. I suf - fered from loss of appetite and pains in dif ferent parts ef my body. My con,tition gradually grew worse until my limbs were apparently unable to bear my weight. and I could no longer go up stairs without the as sistmee of some one. "I consulted physicians who prescribed medienes for my blood. '.1 bes(e I continued to take for several months. but without any effect. The sense of feeling in my lowecr limbs seemed to be leav!ng ine. an.t I began to fear that it was hopeless to look for a cure. I was still suffering terrib ly from the pains through my body. when I chance.1 to read t'e story of a curo that had been efrected wth tnt use of Dr. Willhams' Pink Pi'lls for Pae People. I discovered that the town dru"gist here bad none on sale. so I sent immediately to ihe headquarters in Shlinec tdy. N. T. and secured two of the boxes of he oills. "Last December I commenced. using the pills regularly, anti a month after I had been taking them, I felt greatly benefited bsy t heir us.. The feeling in my limbs came back again. and ia two months I was abtle to go about the louse as I haid been aceustomedt to a year before. Now, as you canl see. I am enjoying good health. The pallor in my face was removed by the pills. A numbLer of my friends in the neighboarhood were comn eainin. of symotomw somnewhat aiar to iny Gwn. and'I recommended t hat they take D-.
