THE SKELETON’S STORY- What is it on the grass ?'a skull hereâ€"a rib thereâ€"bones scattered about as the wild beasts left them after the horrible feast. The clean-picked skull grins and stares-â€" every bone and scattered lock of hair has its story of tragedy. And what besides these relics? More bonesâ€"not scattered, but lying in heapsâ€"a. vertebrae with ribs attached â€"- a fleshless skull bleaching under the summer sun. Wolves? Yes. Count the heaps ofbones and you mi 1 find nearly a score. Open boats have been picked up at sea. with nei- ther life nor sign to betray their secret. Skeletons are found upon the prairie, but they tell a. plain story to those who halt beside them. Let us listen : Ride closer! It is two miles ahead to the footâ€"hillsâ€" two miles of parched turf and rocky space. To the rightâ€"the leftâ€"behind, is the roll- ing prairie. This broad valley strikes the Sierra Nevades and stops as if a wall had been built across it. It; is only for a moment : then the circle narrows. Each disabled beast is replaced by three which hunger to‘r blood. There is a rushâ€"& swxrl~and the cry of despair is drowned in the chorus of snarls as the pack fight over the feast. L .m ; The gray of morningâ€"the aunlighh of noon-dayâ€"the stars of evening will look down upon grinning skull and whitening bones, and the wolf will return to crunch them again. Men will not bury them. They Will look down upon them as we look, read the story as we read it, and ride away Away off to the right you can ace tree- tops. Away off to the left you can see the same sight. The skeleton is in line between the two points. He left one grove to ride ta the other. To ride ! Certainly ; a mile away is the skeleton of a horse or mule. The beast fell and was left there. If he left the grove at noon he would havd been with- in a. mile of this spot at dusk. It is there- fore plain that he did not leave until mid afternoon, or possibly at dusk. Signs of Indians may have driven him from his trap- ping-ground, or mayhap he had exhausted the game and was shi‘fting‘t‘o new fields. Men IJidC thus only when life is the stake. A horse puts forth such speed only when terror follows close behind and causes every nerve to tighten like a. wire drawn until the scratch of a finger makes it chord with a, wail of despair. A pigeon could not skim this valley with such swiltness, and yet the wings of fate are abroad, and long and tire- less. The line is thereâ€"aye ! it is gaining ! Inch by inch it creeps up. and the red eyes take on a more savage gleam as the hunter cries out to his horse and opens fire from his revolvers. A wolf falls on the right~a sec end on the left. Does the “ind cease blow- ing because it meets a forest? The fall of oneman in a mad mob simply increases the determination of the rest. â€"a. secondâ€"a. thirdâ€"and a fourth, and they give way before the man they had looked upon as their certain prey. But it is only {or amoment. He sees them gathering ior the rush, and firing his remaining bullets among them he mixes his long rifle by the ba.rel and braces to meet the shock. Even a. savage would have admired the heroic fight he made for life. He sounds the war- cry and whirls his weapon around him, and “all after wolf falls disabled. He feels a. strange exultation over the desperate com- bat, and as the pack give way before his mighty blows a gleam of hope springs up in his heart. Itais months since that ride, and the trail has been obliterated. Were it otherwise, and you took it up from the spot where the skeleton horse now lies, you would find the last three or four miles made at a tremend- ous pace. “Step I step 1 step 1” What is it? Darkness has gathered over mountain and prairie as the hunter jogs along over the broken ground. Overhead the countless stars look down upon himâ€" around him is the pall of night. There was the patter of footsteps on the dry grass. He halts and peers around him, but the darkness is too deep for him to discover any cause for alarm. “ Patter! patter ! patter !” There it is again! It is not fifty yards from where he has last halted. The steps are too light for those of an Indian. A grizzly would rush upon his victim with a. roar of defiance and anger. A panther would hurl himself through thirty feet of space with a scream to unnerve the hardiest hunt- Now the race h=gins.

Towns Leveued, Lives Lost, and Ships Blown Out of the Sea. Capt. G. 0. Davis, who went so San Do- mingo last March from New York, had some remarkable experiences in the recent hurri- cane. He was in the port of Azua on a small schooner, which he had chartered and loaded with salt. "At 7 A. M.,” he says, “the wind changed to south by east, blowing about sixty to eighty miles an hour. The sea rolled in with huge waves, breaking everything before it. We had two anchors out, which held us fast. A vessel that was near us was at last blown over. The Captain then called to me to come on deck. 1 had the barometer in my hand. It then marked 29.3. and was falling. I stood in the com- panionway, and the Captain and crew crouched under the railing, the wind being too strong for them to stand up. We were all waiting, when suddenly the Captain and crew plunged over the stern and into the sea. I clung to the tiller ropes and saw some of the crew struggling in the water, but only for a. minute, when they were car- ried out of my sight, I saw the Captain and two sailors clinging to the standin rig- ging. Then a huge wave came and {was jerked from my position and pitched into the sea. The wind seemed to blow from all quarters. I was almost strangled and could not getfinto a osition to strike out. Though I had heavy s oes on, I could not keep my feet down, but was whirled around on every crest of the waves. After a. long struggle I at last reached land. The brigantine Dauntless of Bangor. Me., Capt. Williams which had brought out a cargo 0! ice, and which had reloaded with sugar, honey, and wood, was destroyed and her crew of six men all drowned. Capt. William's life was saved by a. remarkable accident. ()u the Saturday before the storm he went ashore, and upon starting to return to his vessel in a, small boat the wind and current carried him below her. For three days he floated down the coast, finally mak- ing a landing and then crossing over to Barahona. He returned to S «n Domingo city by the English steamer to find that his vessel had been lost. “ A Dutch \‘(Siel was also driven ashore and destroyed. Three of her crew climbed up the foremast, and when she struck the shore they were thrown on land. The others were drowned. ’l‘he hen has in her ovaries. in round numbers, more than 600 egg germs, which develop gradually and are successfully laid. Of these (500 the hen will lay twenty in her first year ; 135 in her second, and 114 in the third. In each one of the following four years the number of eggs will be diminished by 20, and in her ninth year she will lay at most 10 eggs. In order to obtain from them sufficient product to cover the expense of alimentation, they should not be allowed to live over four years.â€"â€"A7malesde la Sociedad Odontologica. Havana. “ A‘Vspanish vessel whlch had recently anived slipped her cables and managed to get out a. xew miles to sea, but this storm drove her back upon the coast, and her crew of (en men were lost. “An English steamer unloading sugar machinery at Palinca hoisted her anchor when the gale commenced and put to tea. The vessel labored so heavily that it was impossxble to pick the anchor up, and it knocked two holes in her bow before the crew could cut the chem cable and let her go. The forward compartments filling with water, the hatches were blown off and the fire room was flooded. For two hours she lay in the trough of the sea, but finally the fire-hold was cleared and steam ag 1in raised. She was then kept with her head to the sea and was finally saved, though badly damag- ed. The machinery which the steamer had landed, together with thirty lighters was destroyed. _ “The Aherican schooner Henry Som- mers, from Scarboro’, Me., which was loud- mg down the coast, was dashed to pieces and her crew drowned. “ I grabbed the roots of the trees at the water’s edge and hung on with a. death grip. It was impossible to stand, the wind was so strong ; but, after lying where I was, about two hours, I managed to crawl under» a cover, where I lay about six hours, too much exhausted to move. Toward evening some persons came with a. mule to where I was lying. They placed me on the mule. We had six miles to go, and for three miles we waded through a lake of water up to the mule’s back, with the rain pouring down in torrents. We at last reached the village of Azua, but what was oncea dry brook was now a raging river. I was compelled to lie in an old building containing about thirty families whose homes had been blown to pieces. Out of our crew of seven the Cap- tain, mate, and stew ard were drowned. All that remained of the schooner was a few pieces of timber that were washed ashore. . At least one-half of the village of Azua. which has a population of 6,000. was in ruins. All the small vessels off the coast had been destroyed, and there was no way of getting to the city of San Domingo, except by the use of horses. After delxy I pro- cured horses and a guide and started for the city, a ride of 100 miles. The first night we stopped at Acre. Here the sea had destroy- ed plantations, torn up the docks, and swept away every building in the place. Cattle were killed in large numbers, and the shore was strewn with dead fish. From Acre to Savana la Grande 30 miles, twenty-three bodies were washed ashore. “ Three days afterwards I arrived at San Domingo, and learned that all the ship- ping there had suffered severely. 0f three brigantines which were laying outside on the fatal evening, nothing remained the following morning save a few spars and pieces 0t wrecka. e. The vessels had found- ered and the cre 3 had been drowned. RAVAGED BY A HURRICANE.

Her husband, Captain Thomas Chanter, who changed his own name in order to preserve the distinguished name of his wife, prefixine his mother’s name, Scott, is reported to be insane in an Austra- lian asylum. Samuel G. Rogers, who did the shooting, says that his brothers reached for their pis- tols before he began to shoot, but their at- torney denies this, and says that they made no attempt to draw their pistols. Samuel Rogers was the only man 'who fired a shot, and he emptied his pistol. Each of the four Rogers brothers has a wite and children, and neither of them is under 40 years old. Sam- uel has the reputation of being a quiet man until aroused. and then it is unsafe to trifle with him. Great bitterness has been en- genderd between the brothers in this strife over the will of their father. The two who were cut off charged that the old man was in ' dotage and had been unduly influenced. H ied less than a. year ago. Efforts to settle the case amicably have failed, and from the day of the funeral to the day of the tragedy the fewd between the brothers has increased. Between seventeen and twenty~threo there are tens of thousands of young men damag- ing themselves irretrievably by tobacco. You ether use very good tobacco or cheap tobacco. If you use cheap tobacco, I Want to tell you why it is cheap. It is a mixture of burdock, lampblmck, sawdust, colt’s-foot, plantain leaves, fullers’ earth, lime, salt, slum and a little tobacco. You can’t afford, my good brother, to take such a mess as that between your lips. If. on the other hand, you use costly tobacco, let me say I do not think you can afford it. You take that which you expend and will expend, if you keep the habit all your life, and put it aside, and it will buy you a house, and. it will buy you a farm, to make you comfortable in the afternoon of life. A merchant of New York gave this testimony : “ In early life I smok- ed six cigarsa. day at six and a half cents each ; they averaged that. I thought to my- self one day, ‘ 111 just put aside all the money I am consuming in cigars, and all I would consume if I kept on in the habit, and I will see what it will come to by compound interest.’ ” And he gives this tremendous statistic : “ Last July completed thirty-nine years since, by the grace of God, I was em- ancipated from the filthy habit, and the sav- ing amounted to the enormous sum of .9929,- 102.03 by compound interest. We lived in the city, but the children, who had learned something of the enjoyment of country life from their annual visits to their grand- parents, longed for a home among the green fiells. I found a very pleasant place in the country for sale. The cigar money now came into rcquisition, and. I found that it amounted to a sufficient sum to purchase the place, and it is mine. I Wish all American boys could see how my ch ldren eany their home as they watch the vessels With their white sails that course along the Sound.

De Witt Talmage. «901......»â€" At noon, when seated in the old residence where some of the boys were born, Samuel drew his pistol in a. wordy encounter and firedn shot which penetrated the clothing of one of the attorneys. In an instant every- body except the contestants rushed out of the room. The firing Went on until Samuel‘s pistol was emptied. He then stepped out of the room and returned to Carlisle, where he was arrested. Dr. French of Cincinnati and Dr. Dill of Carlisle were called to the scene. The room in which the tragedy oc- cured was small and uncarpeted. \Villiam 0. Rogers lay on the floor, near the front door. The bone of his right leg: was shiver- ed. and there was a. bullet hole through his abdomen from right to left. He died at 11 at night. Thomas Rogers received a shot in the right temple, which came out above the left eye, near the hair, and another shot in the left arm. He is still conscious, but his condition is very critical. Dreadiul Tragedy In the Mansion of an Old Kentucky Family. At the old Rogers mansion on Indian Creek, near Blue Lick Springs. Robinson County. Kv., where 101 years ago ancestors of the family fought a bloody battle with the Indians, one of that old family shot two of his brothers, one of whom died, and the other, it was feared, after a few hours could not survive. The three brothers were Samuel 9n, William 0., and Thomas. William 0. Rogers is an attorney of St. Louis. Thomas is a farmer, and lived near the scene of the shooting, and Samuel who did the shooting, is Presideut of the Farmers' Bank, in Car- lisle. The father of these men, who died at an advanced age, willed his entire estate, which is large, and consists of lands, to Samuel G. and Robert Rogers, and cut off \Villiam and Thomas Rogers without a cent. Samuel Gr. Rogers was made administrator of the estate. The two brothers who were disinherited took legal measures to break the will, and to that end have been engaged several days in taking depositions. Their counsel was the County Common-wealth At- torney. Samuel and Robert employed as counsel Mr. Lytlo of Carlisle. During these legal proceedings there have been frequent recriminations between the brothers leading almost to a conflict. ” \Vill you please tell me why you are standing on my 12085 ‘3" asked a very polite gentleman of a. colored citizen as they stood in a crowd listening to a, humorous vender of patent soap. “ Sah T” remarked the negro. “I ask will you please tell me why you are standing on my foot '2" "Yas, 35b, certainly, sah. ’Cause yo’ foot's un'er mine.

SHOOTING BIS BROTHERS. “ Your present appearance, Mr. Curtin. does not indicate much physical debility,” said the interviewer as he looked at the 220 .pounda of bones and muacie standingmarly. five feet eleven inches in height: before ‘ him. “HEW did you come to recover :0 com- Plately?”_ ’ “ That is just what I want to tell you, for I believe it may be of great service to many others in my profession. who may possibly hear of it. I began the use of a popular remedy at the earnest solicitation of a. num- ber of friends in this city, and found to my great gratification that I began feeling bet- ter. This feeling continued and I gained in strength and vigor until now I am perfectly wellâ€".and wholly through the instrumental- ity of Warner’s Safe Cure which I believe to be the best medicine for policemen, firemen, railroad men or any other class of people ex- posed to danger or a change of weather, ever discovered. Since my recovery I have re- commended it everywhere, and never knew a. case where it failed either to cure or ben- efit. I would not be without it under any cmsideration, and I am positive it is it won- derfully valuable and at the same entirely harmless remedy. Indeed, I see that Dr. Gunn, dean of the United States Medical College of Raw York, indorses it in the highestt erms.” 7‘ So you experience little difficulty in the (xscution of your duties now, Mr. Curtil, do ygy ‘2” “ At time when I was on duty I would feel an unaccountable weariness and lack of energy. My appetite was also uncertain and my head seemed dull and heavy. I did not fully understand those troubles, but sup- posed, as most people suppose, that I was suffering from malaria. I tried to throw off the feeling, but it would not go. I thought I might overcome it, but found I was mis- taken, and I finally beggme so badly off that "011, no; that is altogether a. thing of the past, and I am happy to say that for more than a. year I have enjoyed almost per- fect health, although I now realize that I was on the road to certain death by Bright’s disease of the kidney; sand travellingvata very rapid pace.” ‘V‘ None whatever.

He married win, and now wants to be separated from hiaecoud charmer on ac- count of her proclivit for snoring in church. The c{nan who accomplished this task was Mr. Thomas Curtin, the present superinten- dent of city police of Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. Curtin is a man who is known by every prominent detective and policeman in Amer- lca, and he stands preeminently in the (rout rank of his profession. Quiet and gentle- manly in appearance and manners, he pos- sesses a. courage, combined with marked physical powers, that make hizn the terror of evxl-doers and the pride of law-abiding citizens. Few people can realize, however, the trials, exposures, and even privations, to which the members of every municipal pol- ice and fire department are exposed. Com- pelled to be on duty at uncertain hours, sub- jected :o the most inclement weather, and often necessitated by the nature of their duties to protracted undertakings, they en- dure a nervous and physical strain that is terrible. Such was the experience of Mr. Curtin in former days; and it is not surpris- ing that he found himself suffering from a, mysterious physical trouble. In relating his experience to a representative of this paper he said 2 it was almost impossible to attend to my duties. I have known any number of men in the police and fire departments of this country who have been afflicted as Iwas, and I doubt not there are today hundreds similarly troubled who, like myself, did not know the cause, or really what ailed them.” " Not in the least. Such men do not try to retaliate, partially because they have not the courage, but ofmner because they re- speqt an officer who ices his d_uty.” -The policemen, f'remen, letter carriers and other public emlloyea in this country have a particularly trying life. When, therefore, a simple Ind pure remedy that can resto: o and susta'n the health is found, it should be cause forgreat congratulation, especially when recmmended by such a man as Superintendut Thomas Curtin of Buffalo.

One morning several years ago just as the dull gray light was beginning to show.» itself in the east, as small band of men might have been seen deployed about a house on Ferry street, in Buffalo. There was noth- ing special either in the dress or appearance of the men to indicate their intention, but it was plain that they had business of impor- tance on hand. Suddenly a man appeared at one of the windows, took in the situation at a glance, and swinging himself outward with wonderful quickness, scaled the roof of the house. This man was Tom Ballard, the notorious counterfeiter; and, armed to the teeth and fully realizing his situation, he defied justice and the officials below him. Some of the officers knowing the desperate character of the man, proposed to shoot him until he was killed, but one of the number promptly protested, and declared that if his brother officers would assist him to ascend he would capture the man alive. Accord- ingly he began the difficult and dangerous ta‘é’k: and au‘éceeded in bringing his pfisouer tojhe ground_in safety." ‘ 1....1 A DETECTIVE’S EXPERIENCE. Matrimowmanlacs. (Bi/flak), N. Y. News.)
