iSM WITH ANGBY WOLVES MR. PIPER’S ESCAPE FROM A PACK OF HUNGRY CREATURES. Attacked by Half Starred Beaeta an a Lonely Foreet Bead, an Old Maa Finds a Case with Two Openings, One of Which the Wolves Didn't Know OL Benjamin Piper, an old pioneer of Jefferson comity, Wis., hod a thrilling adventnre with a pock of wolves. It woe one eveningevhiile he was making his way from Watertown on foot There was snow on the ground, and it hod last ed long enongh to make wolves nnusn- ally fierce and savage with hanger. Piper had been warned by friends in Watertown not to attempt the trip, bat he told them that he had not the slight est fear. Numerous large timlier wolves had been seen near these same forests through which Piper had to pass, but as they had not yet ventured to attack any one, little attention had been paid to their presence. But now, in their des perate hunger and while lurking about for something to prey upon, some of them had discovered Piper, and at once set up a howl for its companions. But Piper was utterly indifferent to their howls and walked boldly along. Suddenly, just as he turned a sharp corner of the road way among the dense timber, a large gray wolf walked across the road slowly and deliberately about two rods ahead of him and then turned and leisurely recrossed to the side from where it came, swinging its tail aloft, and with the hair raised on its neck. It also howled in a dismal manner, as if to hurry up its companions, whose answers now began to come from many direc tions. Piper marched straight ahead os if nothing had happened, save that he picked up a good sized club, intending to throw it at the animal should it a|e proach him again. A moment later the same wolf trotted out from the brush much nearer to him than before, and Piper hurled the club at the animal with tremendous force. But quickly stepping aside and dodging the weapon, the wolf planted itself in the middle of the road and was not disposed to move any farther, but showed its teeth savagely and uttered more howls for its companions. * DESHERATK SITUATIO*. Pi|«r now began to get frightened Hu gathered sticks and stones and hurled them at the wolf until it was glad to get out of his way and let him proceed. But he knew from the sounds still coming behind him that a pack of the animals was on his trail and he would need to make haste or they would soon overtake him. He was a strong man and very fleet of foot, but he had hud no expecta tion of winning against a lot of wolves in a foot race, should they determine to pursue him. So he concluded that he must at once bring all his wits into play and, if isissihle, deceive them. The for est trees around him were rather small to climb ami bo safe among their branches, and he did not relish the idea of being kept up in a tree all night in such cold weather. The desperateness of the situation called to his mind a singular cave con taining two narrow openings, and he concluded that it might afford him pro tection and give him a chance to defend himself. So away he hurried for the cave. It was now long after dusk, but the moon shone brightly, yet owing to the shadows of the trees Piper experi enced considerable difficulty in finding the entrance to the cavern. Before crawling into the narrow passageway he secured a large, heavy club to use should the wolves attempt to follow him into his retreat. He was scarcely half a dozen feet inside ere he heard their hor rible howls near the entrance, and saw their eyes like balls of tire glaring on bim from the outside. At first they seemed disinclined to follow after him, apparently fearing a trap, but finally the boldest one started inside, and then all squeezed themselves into the opening until it was jammed tight A BAD DALF HOUK. As the forward wolf came within his reach, Pijier pounded it with his club until it was utterly disabled, but the great pressure of those from behind con stantly brought the heads of others nearer and nearer. Pqier never stop[>ed fight ing, but whacked and beat and gouged and disabled wolf after wolf us they came within reach. But at length the entrance became so perfectly tilled with wolves that they could neither get for ward nor backward, while their savage howls resounded in the narrow place with such deafening effect that it made Piper tremble, and his sole thought was to get out and away from them. Groping around with his hands be found some good sized, loose stones, with which he hastily filled into the opening just in front of the wolves as tightly as he could pack it, and then, with club in hand, he crawled along and sought exit at the opposite entrance to the cavern. The dismal darkness prevented him from seeing anything, and it was some time before he found the way out. The wolves did not know, or else had forgot ten, this entrance, and Pqier left them still howling with fury crowded into the narrow mouth of the cave at least sixty yards away from where ho had emerged. He now made his way to the road again, and two hours later had reached home. A few days later he visited the cavern, but found nothing save a few bones, the dead and wounded wolves having been, as he supposed, eaten up by their raven ous companions.—Cor. Chicago Inter Ocean. Fetching Bonnet Pin*.

Herodotus says that when a cat died a natural death in an Egyptian house the occupants of the dwelling went into mourning and shaved off their eyebrows. When a lire occurred they were more anxious to save the cats than to extin guish the conflagration. Nevertheless, in some parts of the tame country cats were regarded as unclean animals—for a creature which was considered sacred in one town was often viewed with hor ror as impure in a neighboring city That was the case with the crocodile iu Egypt, which in some parts was ruth lessly hunted and destroyed, while in others it was made a pet of. laden with gold ornaments and waited upon by priests.—Washington Star. WHAT YOUNG MEN MAY DO. Instances In American History Where Men Became Famous While Young, | Youth's Companion.] The history of our own 1 country, as well as that of other | countries, furnishes many in stances in which young men have been entrusted with impor tant public functions; nor is it a new thing with us for young men to obtain office. It is pos sible that at the present time the average age of local or municipal officers is less than formerly; but that the high offi cers of the States and the nation have from the first often been held by young men is well shown by a recent article in the Washington Star. At the very beginning of the Republic, Thomas Jefferson, in the Con- tinential Congress, wrote the Declaration of Independence when he was ihiry-three. He had entered the Virginia Legis lature at twenty-six, and had obtained prominence there. Alexander Hamilton surpass ed his great opponent, Jefferson, in early advancement. He was a memberof Congressattwenty- five, and a member of President Washington’s Cabinet at thirty- two. [National Democrat.] The legitimate and logical sequence of the third party movement is to reconstruct the Southern States upon a line that means Democratic annihilation. It means the complete overthrow of Democratic traditions and gives domination to a hybrid political element, which means political anarchy. It becomes a serious and alarming question when applied to the conditions that must inevitably follow ks agitation in the Southern States. The masses, who are now want only mislead by reckless and desperate demagogues, must be made to see the peril that threatens their peace and wel fare. The Southern States have prospered and developed into a rich and powerful political and ' f industrial empire under Demo cratic rule. Only recently, as it were, has the South been res cued from political slavery and industrial bankrupey. Nothing can be more disastrous to its progress and the peace of its people than the third party agitation, which has been defi antly precipitated by the leader, whose semi-official utterances are elsewhere printed in The National Democrat. The re medy lies in immediate and courageous action. When thor oughly organized the Demo cratic party is invincible. When it deals honestly and courage ously with public questions”it tie commands the approval of the people. When it cowardly sub mits to senseless popular clamor it goes to the wall. The situ ation in the Southern States de mands wise and prompt action, and our intention now is only to sound the warning. Shiloh’* Consumption Cure.

Clay had previously won a great repu tation as a member of the Ken tucky Legislature. He was elected Speaker of the national House of Representatives at thirty-four. John C. Calhoun entered the South Carolina legislature at twenty-five, and Congress at twenty-nine At thirty-five he became Secretary of War and occupied the office seven years Andrew Jackson was a mar vel of precocity. He had car ried a flintlock musket, as a soldier of the Revolutionary Army, at the age of fourteen. At twenty-three he was appoint ed by Washington district at torney of Tennessee. He was a United States Senator at thirty. He did not reach the presidency until he was sixty-two. John C. Breckenridge was the youngest Vice President the country ever had.
