Her feet touched the ground but seldom. She would grab the underbrush with her long, bony hands and swing from bush to bush and limb to limb with wonderful ease. She seemed only endeavoring to keep just beyond her pur- suers, until, coming to a swamp, she disap- peared as suddenly and effectively as an extinguished light, and no searching served to ascertain her whereabouts.â€"â€" Chicago Times. ~...-â€"â€"â€"<s>â€"â€"â€"â€" Certainly a “'Ild [Jule Girl.

He endures hardships that would take the litres of most men, and is, there- fore,a perfect type of physical manhood. He is the finest horseman in the world, and excells in all the rude sports of the field. He aims to be a. dead shot, and universally is. Constantly during the herding season he rides seventy miles a day and a majority of the year sleeps in the open air. His life in the saddle makes him worship his horse, and it, with a rifle and a sixeshooter, com- plete his happiness. OE Vice in the ordin- ary sense he knows nothing. He is a rough, uncouth, brave and generous creature, who ncvcrlies or clients. It is a. mistake to imagine that they are a dangerous set. Any one is as safe with them as with any people in the world, unless he steals a horse or is hunting for alight. In their eyes death is mild punishment for horse stealing. Indeed it is the highest crime known to the unwritten law of the ranch. Their life, habits, education and necessities breed this feeling in them. But with all this disregard of human life there are less murderers and cut-throttle graduated from the cowboys than from among the better educated classes of the East who come out here for venture or gain. They delightiu appearing rougher than they are. To a tender-foot, as they call an Eastern man, they love to tell blood-curdling stories and impress him with the dangers on the frontier. But no man need get into a quarrel with them unless he seeks it, or get armed unless he commits some crime. They very often own an interest in the herd they are watching, and very fre- quently become owuers of ranches. The slang of the range they always use to perfection, and in season or out of season. Unless you want to insult them, never offer a cowboy pay for any little kindness he has done or for a share of his rude meal. If the changes that are coming to stock» raising should take the cowboy from the range, its most interesting feature will be gone.~ Kansas Letter. yllusbnnrl Determined to Get a Miss Keogh is the name of one of the most advanced heroines of the British Breach of Promise Court.

It is also unsafe to stand in an open field at a considerable distance from any prominent object which might serve asaprotcctor. If alone in such a place, it- were well in an electric battle to draw near, but not too near, to some rock. or tree. or body of water, which would be likely in your stead to take the bolt. Refuge in a. barn, especially when filled With bay and grain and cattle, should always be avoided. If in a house in a heavy thunderstorm. the doors and windows should be closed, for lightning tends to follow an atmos- pheric current, and hence so many persons are killed while standing in a doorway. or while sitting at an open window. When lightning strikes a dwelling house, it usually goes down the chimney, or a. corner of the building, runs along the walls, taking bellwnes, looking glasses, lamps, and other metallic articles in its course. Hence it is always dangerous, when the storm is near, to remain in the corner of aroom, or to rest against the walls, or near a stove, or lamp, or looking glass, or, indeed, any good conductor of electricity . A tall tree standing close’by a dwelling house serves as a. kind of lightning rod; yet, someâ€" times, the fluid leaves the tree as it does a rod, and enters the building, hence rooms thus exposed should be vacated till the danger ceases. Perhaps the safest place in a terrific thunderstorm is on a hair or feather bed in the centre of a room well closed, and without a fireplace or much metallic furniture, in the lowest division of the house. But if the room be carpeted, n. chair in a similar situation affords com- parative safety. The Greeks and Romans believed that Vulcan forged the thunderbolts for Jupiter, who hurled them against the heads of those he hated ; the Turk believes that whoever is to be struck by the lightning will be struck by lightning; but we believe in “the means of grace "â€"â€"that it is just as wise ,to use our reason to prevent being killed by the redhot bolt from heaven as to use it to have ourselvw from the flood, or fever, and thatif such precaution as here indicated he observed, the lives of for the Irish.

A Cleveland, 0 , telegram says : Charles Smith, of Chicago, and John H. Mitchel-l, of Boston, two champion butchers, are advertised to kill and dress two large bullockshere today for $1,000 a side and the championship of the Uniti d States. Over four thousand people went to Rocky River this afternoon to witness the match. Mitchell failed to show up, havmg cut off two of his fingers, and his money was forfeited. Smith. the Chicago champion. killed and dressed a bullock weighing 1,300 pounds in seven minutes and four seconds. It was pronounced one or the best pieces of ilqu on resort}.- 6 01180 spot, however, the captain was nowhere to be seen, nor did he appear afterwards. When in the small boat with McCloy, who rowed him to the point at which he went into the water, the captain talked freely. He said in answer to the boat- man’s questions that he made 325,000 out of his swim across the English Channel, and that $15,000 of it was gone. “Well,” said McCloy, “if I was youI would go ashore and keep the rest.” But the cap- tain would not be pursuaded to go back, and when the boatinan had gone as far as he dared,Webb stood up in the boat and went into the water. The “ lllnld of the rum. The Maid of the Mist was the appro- priate name of a. small steamer which in 1854 used to ply between a point just above the Railway Suspension Bridge and the foot or the Falls. She turned out an unprofit- able speculation, however, and was sold, the condition of sale being that she should be delivered at the mouth of the Niagara River, necessitating navigation through the tumultuous rapids and past the whirlpool. A daring river craftsman,Joel R. Robinson, undertook the hazardous task of piloting the boat down the river, and two men named McIntyre and Jones assisted him. An immense concourse of spectators assembled to witness the commencement of the voyage, which was described by an eye- witness thus: “ With a shriek from her whistle and a white puff from her escape pipe, the boat ran up uhe eddy a short dis- tance, then swung round to the right, cleared the smooth water, and shot like an arrow into the rapid under the bridge. She took the outside curve of the rapid,and when a third of the way down it a jet of water struck againrt her rudder, a column dashed up under her starboard side, keeled her over, carried away her smoke stack, started her over on that side, threw Robin- son flat on his back, and thrust McIntyre against her starboard wheel-house with such force as to break it through. Every eye was fixed, every tongue was ilent and every locker-on breathed freer as she emerged from the fearful baptism, shook her wounded sides, slid into the whirlpool, and for a. moment rode again on an even keel. Robinson rose at once, seized the helm, set her to the right of the large spot in the pool, and then turned her directly through the neck of it. Thence, after receiving another drenching from its comb- ing waves, she dashed on without further accident to the quiet bosom of the river below Lewiston.” Thus was accomplished the most remarkable and perilous voyage ever made. Captain Webb’s Cal-cor. Captain Webb belonged to an old and highly respected Salopian family. He was f twelve children and was born in Dawlev, in Shropshire, in the year 1838. He spent his childhood days on the banks of the Severn, where he learned to swim, and there, near the great iron bridge, he saved a younger member of his family d from drowning. This was his first aquatic feat. He was born withalove for the l water, and prisVailed upon his friends to let him go to sea. At a very early age he donned the blue frock and blanket trousers of a naval apprentice on board the train- ing ship Conway. Here he learned to hand, reef and steer, and was well trained in all that goes to make a thorough see.- man. On board this vessel he became famous by saving the life of a shipmate who fell overboard in the Mersey. After leaving the Conway Captain Webb “ served Captain Webb first Vitlftd this continent rewa’rd ? What provision had been made in July’ 1379, and on August 13511 he swam for his protection? He was struck dumb from Sandy Book to Manhattan Beach, and with astonishment when informed that be on August 23rd he was defeated by Captain would receive. no reward ; neither would Boyton at Newport, Boyton swimming in protection be extended to him ; and he hi dress and using paddles and giving could now make his choice-either togo to Webb five miles start in twenty-five.

He shortly authorities, his fury seemed to consume afterward left for England, but re-. him. and when the question was put turned in June, 1882, when he won several matches, defeating amongst others G. H. Wade and Thomas Riley. On October 14th of that year he performed the wonderful feat of remaining in the water 128; hours in a week in Boston, the task being accom- plised in s. tankin Agricultural Hall. Webb went back to England immediately after. ward, but once more returned about two months ago. He announced his determina- whether he would take his liberty or his passage to another clime he got overcome _w1th fear at the prospect of being turned out into the streets. Finally the news was imparted to him that his Wife and seven children were already aboard ship ready to sail, and unless be obese to join them, their passages having been paid, he would have but little chance of meeting them for a conciderable time. This last blow over- tion to attempt the swimming of the whelmeo him, and he sulkily bowed to the Niagara rapids, and prepared himself for it by a course of training at Nantasket Beach,where he could obtain plenty of practice amid the breakers. The Place of Death. The whirlpool, is a scene of extraordi- nary beauty and attraction. As the river approaches ”this place, its rapid descent, and the narrowness of its curved and rocky bed, force the stream, which here runs at the rate of 27 miles an hour, into the piled~up ridge of water, from which liquid jets and cones, often rising to the height of twenty feet, are thrown intot air. At the pool the river makes an abrupt turn to the ,right. while th‘ strength and violence of its current, as it sweeps round the cliff on the ‘American side, , produces so strong» a txeaotion as to press part of the stream intoa recess or basin on the Canadian shore, the struggling and counterworking currents, thus forming the great vertex of the whirlpool. But it is a hidden vortex ;, and the contrast between this lonely little lakelet, calm and smooth as a mirror, ex- cept for a few swirls of foam at its outer edges, as it lies in the embrace of its encir- cling and richvwooded cliffs, and the furious white-tossing rapids from which it seems so miraculously to have escaped, adds the charm of surprise and mystery to its great beauty. Peace after tumult. Strangely gyrating circles rise, and spread and van- ish, and reappear again, signs of the mysterious currents beneath. Everything which comes within the reach of these resistless currents is caught and dragged into the vortex below. Here bodies of animals that have gone over the Falls re- appear and circle around for days or weeks before they are recovered from the pool, after their weird dance of death. From the whirlpool to Queenstcn is seven miles of rolling, turbulent water. A London oablegram says : Capt.Webb's death in the unfortunate attempt to swim the Niagara whirlpool has created much. regret in this city, where he was well known. It has also caused much excite- ment at Trowbridge, in Shropshire. where his family reside. and where he has two brothers, one a physician and the other a. farmer. To the farmer Capt. Webb said before his departure that he intended to do a “ big thing ” in America, where he found more enthusiasm about athletic matters than at home. His English relations, knowing nis reckless daring, attempted to dissuade him, fearing some disaster, although he did not inform them'what feat- he intended to attempt. His earliest swxmming feat to attract attention was the saving of the life of one of his brothers. The Times says, concerning the death of Capt. Webb: “ It is impossible not to admire Webb‘s daring, but the wasting of a valuable life is to be regretted.” The News blames the death upon the men who tempted him to the feat, and upon the authorities who permitted the attempt, saying that be sacrificed his life for an American holiday. A Thrllnux nkpenence. Four officers sitting in a bungalow in India were deep in a game of whist. Suddenly one of them, turning deadly pale, made signs that no one should speak. In _ a hushed voice he exclaimed, “ Keep still, for God’s sake! I feela cobra crawling about my legs 1" He knew that timidity was one of the strongest characteristics of this snake, and that if not disturbed or alarmed it would in due time depart of its own accord. All present were acoustomesto the stealthy intruder, and did not, happily, lose their presence of mind. They very noiselessly bent down so as to take a survey beneath the table. when, sure enough, there was the unwelcomed visitor, a full-sized cobra, twming and gliding about the legs of their hapless friend! ,Literally death was at his feet. A move- ,‘ment, 8. noise, even an agitated tremble, " might have been fatal. Luckily one of the four was acquainted with the milk-loving habit of the cobra, and rising from his , seat with quiet and cautious movements, not daring to hasten, yet dreading delay, he managed to steal from the room while he signed the rest to remain motionless. Quickly he crept back with the saucer of milk in his hand, and still with noiseless movements set the cues: under the table as close to the terri le reptile as it was his time ” in the employ of the Rathbone safe to venture.

Personallng Womenâ€"Strange Revels-r donor At the Liverpool Police Court the other day the Stipendiary Magistrate, Mr. Raffles, was engaged for the greater part of the day bearing charges against four young men of being concerned in a number of robberies from the person. The charges are that some of the men were in the habit. of dressing as women, aooosting half drunk men in the streets, and then assaulting and robbing their victims of jewellery and cash. One of the prisoners was apprehended as a woman, and so clever was his makeup that he was actually taken into the female side of the jail.
