Mounting after dinner, we struck north- west across the broad prairie, where with the exception of the tall grass, there was not; :1 tree or shrub on all that vast expanse, except along the river bank. It was four o'clock in the afternoon, just as we were beginng to get discouraged, and we were thinking of turnng 0111' horses heads to- wards home, when we discovered the object of our search. There was two bull'aloes quietly feeding on a little rise in the prairie w-the first; r‘ ‘e we had discovered since leaving the river. “ Hullah, Fred. I" exclaimed RSI), putting spurs to his horse, and getting excited. “ Now for some sport, and buffaloes tongues for sup- per ;” and away he went at a reckless, ln‘cak- neck speed. \Ve agreed to separate as soon as we reach- 0d the top of the ridge, and each take our game, and charge down upon them, and capâ€" tum both if possible. 0111' game was a. long distance ofi‘ when first discovered, and had dlsuppearcd over the use in the pl‘mne, and was uut of Slght.

It Puemed as if there was nothingr hut death before me ; for how could I hope to escape from, 01' cope successfuly with :L wounded b11ff2du~~wm1nd- ed, as I knew, in 110 Vita] part, but sufficient- ]y to madden him. [could hear more plainly his half grunt and half snort close upon my lieelsrvcould feel his very breath upon my hackwin anoth- er instant he would be upon nier-â€"w0nld peirce me with his short, stumpy hornsâ€"would grind me to the earth with his monster head, and trample me beneath his feet. I indeed felt that my time 11ml come mthat 1m earthly power cunhl save me; and instinctively l breathed a prayer to heaven. At that ihstnnt my feet became entangled, and I fell; the maddened creature had just toucth me as I went dmvn, and was under such terrible headway that he passed directly over me without touching me. As his tail brushed over my face I grasped it, and was dragged to my feet, as the buffalo stopping usddenly, attempted to turn upon me. But lhatl a new lease of my life. 1 held on to his tail with a death-grasp, and was dragged round and round. You may smile, but the tail-hold was my best hold 110w, and my only hope of life ;and I held on with a grim determination, while the hull wheeled round and round, roared, snuffed, snorted and pawed the ground in his terrible rage, but could not shake me off. {0.11 His wound was bleeding profusely, and my hope was that he might become exhausted first ; but he seemed far from that now, while I seemed very near to it. I knew my strength could hold out but little longer ; and to let go was certain death. The bull would suddenly take a freak, and run and bellow with all his might, dragging me with velocity â€"then he would stop, and with a terriffie snort attempt to turn on me, and it was more than I could do, with my failing strength to keep out of his way, and several times his horns rent my clothes. Eut whgt' should 1 do now ‘2 I knew I could not hold to him long, as my strength was nearly exhausted, havmg run so before I 1 put my hand to my belt ; but my rm‘nlvâ€" or was gone, the smhbard was empty. It had probably fallen nut who“ I was tlmm‘n from my horse. This state of things could not continue : I was growing weaker, and felt my hold relax- ing. I was jerked hither and thither, my arms nearly pulled from their socketsâ€"worri- ed almost to death, and about to lose my hold‘when, as the mad creature paused an instant, the sharp crack of a rifle rang out upon the air, and the huge creature gave one plunge, and fell upon his side in the death- struggle. I thought of my revolver, and that I would sell my life as dearly as possible. 1 always carried it in my belt; and perhaps] could throw it over my shoulder and shoot the bull in the eye. I had no hope of the hall doing him any harm if it hit him anywhere else ; for those animals have a thick mass of hair on their forehead, that is so matted together with sand and dirt, that no ball from a. rifle will penetrate it. l know, if n. hall from my I‘uvol\'urst1‘ucl( his furt‘lieml, it would have no more vil'oct then the wiml blowing against 1t. I was safe, but it came not a moment too soon. I, too, fell to the ground, more dead than alive. The sequel is soon told. It was Bob who had saved me. He had been more fortunate than I, and after a. hard chase, had killed his game, and then looked round for me. The first thing he saw was my home without a. rider, and then he discovered me in the distance clinging to the bull’s tail for dear life ; and putting spurs to his horse, he came to my assistance. It was some time be- fore he could venture to shoot, for fear of hitting me ;1)ut he finally succeeded in plant ing a. bull directly in the animal‘s breast. "Faint very easy to stick me on a word in spellin'," said Elnathan Briggs, in McCor- mick‘s store the other evening, where the cus- tomary group of counter-fitters were asseml >1- ed. I Saw not the slightest chance for my life. Here I was, upon this broad ocean of prairie ; Bob was, ] knew not where, nor had time to 100k ; the grass tangling my feet, and tnklng away my strength, and a wounded buffalo \HLhin a few yards of me, and gaining upon x me at every bound. “ Let’s hear yer Spell ‘ knead,m said a red- headed man with his mouth full of hard bread that he had taken from a convenient barrel. “ Meanin’ to knead hread‘!” asked Briggs, in a tone of scorn. ’l‘he red-headed man nodded. “ K-n-ea-d," ‘ answered Briggs, in a tone that. implied that the red-headed man was wasting his time in putting such simple words to him. “ You’re wrong," said the red-headed man. “ [)0 you mean ter say,” said Briggs, grow- ing very red in the face, “ that k»n-e-a-d don’t spell kllead-t0 knead bread ‘1" All this happened in an instant. I had hoped the maddened creature would pursue my horse ; but not sovthe huifalo knows well who is his worst enemy. I was fleet on foot, for I had run for my life many times; but the tall grass impeded my progress, and I knew I could hold out but a few moments. I Ihad 110 tifne to think whether I fancied the situation or not, for the mad hull was upon me almost ; and with a look of dispair after my flying horse, I ran, I knew not whether, but with an instinct 0T selfâ€"prescr- vation. The fall aid not hurt me, and I was on my foot in an instant; but before I could reach my horse, he was up and bounding over the prairie, leaving me to my fate. “I neversmvno one knead bread," answer- ed the redâ€"headed man, w1th achucklu ; “ I’ve seen ,em knead dough, sometimes, though.” This maddeued him ; and turning quickly, he charged with a terrible half snort and half roar down upon me. My horse was taken by surprise and was frightened ; and, in springing partly to one side, as if to turn suddenly and fly away from the mad creature, his feet caught in the tangled grass, and he fell, throw- i] w me many fxet over his head. Briggs was so mad] because a gentle chBrus hearing the refrain “ Sold " was wafth to his mstonished ear, that he pranced out of the store and slamcd the door behind him with such emphasis to shutter :L pane of glass, which he refused to pay for the next day. After a hard chase, I came near enough I thought, to venture a shotâ€"~perhaps, if I did not kill him I could cripple him, and thus stop him somewhat in his mad career. I brought my rifle to my shoulder quickly ;hut us I fired, my horse stumbled slightly, his feet having become tangled in the grass, andI missed my aim, hut struck the beast in the shoulder instead of he heart; and the hall being large, made a terrible wound, from which the blood flowed in a stream. AN inquiring English tnurist walking along the streets of New York found his pro ress stopped by :L harn'cmle of timber. “ 'hat is that for 1’" he said to a person in the street. “ Oh, that‘s to stop the yellow fever. " “ Ah, I see,” said the Englishman ; “ it is the Amer- .zui Board of Health.” V “How sweet, but how b:le for one so young," 15 what a mm young lady I'mnurkcd about an infant. fore I came up with my game. I paid no at. tention t0 Bob ; his game had taken a diffeâ€" rent direction from mine, and Wu were soon widely separated. ’ Fact and Fiction. Nor is it astonishing that they (BXt‘IelSCil the fatal influence they did upon men. Their beauty was glorious. The youngest was the living type of the other two. As the writer saw her but a little over a year ago, she rises before his Vision now, a tall, graceful, slen- der woman, with a lithe willowy form of ex- quisite symmetry and splendid contour. The oval, tinted face glows with health, and is radiant with intelligence. Deep, slumberous black eyes, unfathomable in their depths, which a word can kindle with excitement or make aglow with passion ; a queenly woman, reguant in. youth, grace, and the empire of men’s hearts. The rich coils of hair, black and intense, were wound above the low, broad forehead, and formed a raven crown to the dusky splendor of the dark Egyptian fave. Men paused to look at her, and women sighed with envy as she passed. \Vhat she was in her youthful bridehood has been im~ perfectly described ; What her sisters were in their matured and splendid womanhood the enthusiast’s imagination alone can picture. And now for the story of their lives. The eldest sister was married to Dr. Sharp, of Tuscaloosa, Ala. , a polished, graceful gentleâ€" man, whose love and devotion might have contented any woman less prone to the al- lureinents of society and the admiration of men. It was in the first year of the war, and the most brilliant society of the South was gathered at Mobile and New Orleans. \Vith an appetite wlietted to fever heat by a few month’s abstinence from social pleasures, she plunged recklessly into a whirlpool of society. The married flirt wears no armor of inno- cence. Her love of admiration was pitted against man’s duplicity and cunning. She staked and lost. From folly there is but one step to iniprudcnce, and that step was taken, despite a. husband’s jealousy and sense of ho. nor. The end was inevitable ; a challenge and a due], and her husband fell, pierced to the heart by the bullet of her seducer. There was no pity for a woman like this ; society repelled her, friends discarded her, and she fled to New Orleans to lead the life of an ad- venturcss. The second sister shortly afterwards mar- ried to the son of a. distinguished journalist in Mobile. The fate of her elder sister was no bar to a. career of similar folly. Society received her with wide open arms. \Vealth, influential connections and alliances with a. distingmished family obscured for a time the recollections of a sister’s imprudence. But gossip soon grew busy with her name. From one folly to another she passed with fatal haste and seeming indifference, until in a fa- tal hour her husband learned that the woman he loved, the wife he idolized, was a thing to be scorned. It broke his heart. “’ith the downfall of his idol his reason wavered, and he perished by his own hand. For all his brilliant talents, and the promise of a splen- did woman, he died the victim of a. woman’s perfidy. The youngest sister became the wife of Bienvenue, a young broker of New Orleans. Rich, beautiful, and accomplished, she was at once a leader in society. Courted, flattered, and caressed she plunged headlong into the vortex. Men lavished praises upon heri women hated and smiled upon her. What cared she? beautiful, reckless, heartless, and indifl‘erent to all alike, she cared only for the social admiration which was the sunshine of her life. Her large fortune gave her an in- come in her individual right. This gave wings to her extravagance and enabled her to contract bills in her own name. One of themâ€"a milliner’s billâ€"became overdue, suit was brought and execution which Mr. Phil- lips, the lawyer, levied for satisfaction upon her carriage and horses. J11 an interview subsequently had with the lady regarding the settlement of the bill, words which she con- strued into an insult were charged upon the attorney. Her husband resented it-â€"a chal- lenge ensuedâ€"and then the fatal duel on that sad April morning, when a husband’s life ebbed away its purple tide upon the lonely beach, the last unhappy victim of the fatal sisters’ folly and extravagance. Born of reputable Creole parents, these sis- ters Were inheritors of vast wealth, and a stainless name, and distinguished for their personal beauty in a. land where the loveli‘ ness of women is proverbial. Tcnderly rear- ed and brilliantly educated, with possessions that rivalled in extent and excelled in value a German principality, it is not surprising that they became the flattered belles of soci- ety, and were the boast and pride of all the merchant and planter beaux in the wild coast country. That these brilliant proteges of the haughtiest aristocracy of the old regime should be destined to exercise the fatal influ- ence they exerted on the men who loved them and made them their wives is indeed surpris ing. b'ut they were flirts from their cradles. Born to admiration, their lives were spent from youth to maturity in an atmosphere of fictitious sentiment and unreal passion. They looked upon men as merely the ministers of pleasures, and as the mediums through which their flattered vanity might grow and expand, as the flower blooms in the warmth of the sunshine. All the aims and duties of life were bounded by the ambitions of society. Admiration to them was but appreciation, Taught to regard their individual pleasures as superior to all considerations of conven- ience to others, it is not surprising that sel. lishness, indifl’erence, and fully became the mainsprings to their actions. THE ARABS are very proud of Cairo, and give it the high sounding title of “ Mother of the world.” It is a city of nearly ($00,000 in- habitants, it is well lighted, and the new part or “ Grand Cairo ” reminds one of Paris, the streets are wide, lined with trees and well laid out. There is a theatre and opera house. There are several parks and gardens, the finest is called Esbekieh. Around this gain den are fine buildingsâ€"the Opera House, New Hotel, Egyptian Bourse, and many others are built around the square. The garden con- tains a fine collection of the rarest plants ; a military band plays every afternoon and even- ing. \Vhen lighted and filled with promenaâ€" ders, as it is every evening, and the band is playing, it is a rare sight; it seems like a great masquerade, for here you may see nearly all nations in their characteristic dressâ€" es.

Aside from the fatal termination of the meeting, the contest between Phillips and Blenvenuc would not have been unusually remarkable but for the fact that it was the final scene in the tragic wedded lives of three wmnansisterS»“whose husbands fell by the hand of violence, incited hy the evil course of their wives. Our readers may possibly recollect the circumstances of a. fatal duel, widely publish» ed at the time, which occurred on the 3rd of April, 1874, on the 01d (luelling ground on the sandy stretch of shore fronting Bay St. Louis. The participants were Artelle Blen- venue, a. broker, and Andrew Phillips, at law- yer, of New Orleans. It was on the same spot where the fatal bullet of Rhett 0f the Picayune sped to flight the gallant spirit of the intrepid Cooley ; the ground on which the rifle shots of Badger and Carter were ex. changed; where Scott and Campbell met; and where many a previous bloody episode had expiated a. real or imaginary fault.

A NEW steam-engine for street railroads has been introduced in London. It is en- tirely inelosed, and presents the appearance of a small street car. ’l,‘ he advantages claim- ed for this new pattern are a saving of £300 per annnin in the working expences of each car ; an increase of speed when desirable ; it more perfect control for stopping and start- ing than at present ; and that at each termin- us it can be disconnected and brought to the front of the ear in less time than that taken by horses. The trials were considered very satisfactory. This engine is to be brought into use immediately in Paris also. IT is a little over thirty years since the first camp meeting was held on Martha’s V incyard, under an old cedar still pointed out.

Do you unlicrsmml, Young,r men who are desirous to educate themselves, should select elementary treati- ses at first ; such as treat of their subjects in a familiar manner. Having thus selected, they should set ahout reading them with the stern determination not to let a single page, or line, or word, pass uncomprehended. Geographical names should he properly pro- nounced and the places they indicate careful- ly fixed in the mind. Allusions to men and events should he at once followed by research into the histories of the men and the events themselves. The habit of fixing attention is also of the utmost importance. A “endearing; mind is essentially a weak mind. if any- thing is unworthy of attention, renounce it altogether ; do not acquire that had habit of at once half listning, and half-pondering, so common and so encrvating to mental vigor. lenieniber always that to act is not so im. portant as the power to get.

Do not swallow facts whole any more than you would your food; chew and digest, overloading is as had for the mind as for the stomach, therefore avoid cramming- Scck to learn the general principles of soichee rather than the bare details ; the details Will come upon application of the principles. Cultivate the habit of closely observing every- thing you see ; every natural thing is worth the closest inspection. \Vorks of art and mechanical construction are good studies, whether meritorious or otherwise. If good. seek to know the elements of their worth ; it bad criticize their faults. If your tastes -in- cline to any particular field of study, let them run ; do not seek to stop them. You will succeed best in that field. Every sort of cooling drink can be had in perfection in the streets of M adn'd. \Vater, to begin with, is always quite fresh and cold, and this is more than a luxury it is an absoluteâ€" ly necessity in a country where one is litter- ally burnt up with thirst. In every town sturdy gallegoes carry it about, and it is re- freshing even to hear their monotonous long- drawn cry of“ Agua pura,” “Agua mas fresca que la nieve," for the east wind brings With it dust and burning fever, and the sun scorehes and dries the very blood and skin with its fiery heat. Those who are wise will, when travelling, provide themselves with one of the pretty little white porous jars that keep the water as fresh as if it had been just taken from the spring. Then in all the Cafes, and at the corners of the principal streets, may he had more iced beverages than could be named in a single pageâ€"deliâ€" cious orange and lemonade, the glass piled high with cool, white snow, with perhaps, half a ripe apricot, or a few strawberries thrown on it, to give still more flavor to the refreshing mixture. There is iced barley- water, or orgeat, mixed with the juice of fresh fruits or syrups, sometimes having also a soupcon of wild-thyme or herbs, that give a slight aromatic taste, inexpressibly re- freshing on a hot day. Besides all the various preparations of orgcats, there is thin beer and ginger-beer, and many more drinks of the same nature. To him we reply that our suggestions are not for him, at least till his tastes are radi- enlly changed.

Cornell, a. miller employed at the Hitna Mills, met with a very severe accident. At about midâ€" night some gearing in the extreme peak of the mill began to creek, and Mr. Cornell went up to oil it. It was in a low part' of the room, well under the eaves, and in ap- plying the oil, he was obliged to reach over the shaft. \Vhile he was steeping, a key on the shaft caught in the breast of his shirt, and by the time he had finished his work had taken up all the slack, and held him down and was drawing him still tighter. He was thrown over the shaft, his light went out, and then in the dark he coolly braced himself, and let the shaft slowly tear ofl'his clothing by strips; the undressing operation was not delicately performed. lt would not do for him to struggle much, as Above all must he placed the hochadas, made of pounded grapes, barley-sugar, and water, carefully strained and iced, with a few strawberries, or pieces of orange or pine- apple and perhaps flavored with a little van- illa 0r almonds, the whole making a mixture that it is worth going to Spain to taste. In other places it; might not, perhaps, be so much appreciated, for the hot sun gives not only the rich flavor to the fruit, but the thirst that makes it pleasant. In higher institutions of learning it is nat- ural to any one reads Latin or Greek, 01' mathematics, rather than he studies this 01- the other subject. The word “read” here is a, synonym for “study.” That is right; to read pmperly is to study in its highest sense. It is a much more difficult thing t6 fea'd than most peoplethink. For the most art,v.that which is called reading is mere 3 imming. It occupies an idle hour by placing a; variety of images before the mind in rapid successinn, like a kaleidoscope, but like .the images of that amusing toy, each is forgotten as a n’ew one is presented ; and after all is done, noth- ing remains but it dim recollection of a jum- hle of colors. Nothing definite, nothing valuable is retained. “ Bun”. says one, ;“l read for amusement, and as long as I' get that I Wish for nothng more.” A ' on both sides were gearing within a. few inches of him that seemed waiting to draw him into its embrace.
