5 AS HE HAD LIVED. TSo Grand Wind Up of a Mighty Huu ter. .V. Quc:t in Detroit Free Dress, Dry luu> finally broken, and there is a red dening of the eastern sky. The faint flushes deepen, the purple fades to gold, the gold turns to fire and the topmost rim of the sun rises from the plain and burnishes the crags and peaks of the Powder River Moun tains ns if preparing thole for temples of worship. Five minutes later and a great continent is beamed upon by the full sun of a glorious morning in Indian summer. You have seen a grand old horse—almost Wind —almost ready to die from old age, rise from his grassy lied of a summer morn ing! The morn seemed to put new life into him. There is fire in his eyes as he flings his head about and sniffs at the sunshine, and for the moment he is voting and strong again. So on this morn, irom his camp in the foot-hills, rises a grand old man, and, as he draws himself up to his full height and faces the glorious east, his eyes grow bright, jus muscles quiver, and the strength comes buck to every limb. But it is not for long. Tlte sun is scarcetly a foot above the plain when the tall form stoops, the limbs begin to weaken, and the tire dies out of the eyes and is replaced by a dull stare. It is the wreck of a man—a mighty hunter and fighter. These plains and mountains and valleys have been his home for a score of years. Face —chest —limbs —everywhere about him, are scars of wounds dealt by savage or beast. The going down of the sun has found him alone; the dawn of day has found him solitary. Break a man’s heart and he turns from the world and hates vice and virtue alike. lie is ohl and his strength lias waned. Peal h has been long incoming, but it has drawn nigh at last. The chill of death drives some men back to the world, to die with tender hands about them. Others defy the grim monster to the last, and they die alone, upwopt, uneared for. ‘Tt is my last day on earth! - ’ So says the grand old man as he slowly turns on his heel to look about him. Tho vision that could once discern a moving buffalo half a score of miles away can now scarcely make out tho ragged trees across the little valley. Tho arms which could have once lifted the most powerful warrior high in tho air for a dash to death, can now scarcely bring the rifle to an aim. Ho has run his face and his time has come. Tiie sun climbs up and up, and the day bursts forth into full strength. The moun tains stand out with such ruggedness and grandness as never before. The valleys and hillsides nevei held the sunshine as to day. Nature ia to give the old man a grand funeral. And the sun dinibs higher, and it is mid day. And liow shou'd he die—one whose sum mers and winters—whose months and years —have been passed in the sunshine of tho sterile plains—in the shadows of the rugged mountains —with the growl of the grizzly and the shout of thx red warrior in his ears? In the dramas of tie stage men die as they have lived; who no; in real life? The old man is ready. Rifle in hand— his grizzly locks hiif hidden by his fur cap —his strength coning back as if he had been born again, !e seats himself upon a great rock and scais the winding valley at his feet God give iiim back his sight once more, and no craping tning escapes his vision. To the 'ight all is well. To •he left —wait! Hi half rises for a better lock. Enemies —warrl'rs! Have they got ,lo word that to-day is the old man’s last day >n earth, and are they to sit in front and apilaud as the curtain goes down! It is well. That long rifle has sent more than one arrior to death. That great frame, nov so rapidly wasting, bears the scar of Ullet and tomahawk and knife. A dozen warrias—a war party bent on rapine and murder—come galloping swiftly up the vaioy. Tin old fighter grows young in years as he waChes the advance. The thrill of eveitemat brought the blood to his cheek—the vuisper of danger strings every nerve, Fae has been kind to him; as he has Used soßhall he die. Would you have the her> of. score of battles die in his bed, alone aad mseen, or in front of his foes, fighting gllantly to the last, and his death ajplau.ed even by those w ho slew him? Ah! they mveeaught sight r * him. The gaunt figui * outined against sky is a familiar one II lias been 1 cared for its strength, hard for the destruction it has wrought. Erape is cut off to the right—to the left— in mnt. The background is rug ged hillside, h which the warriors are more ut home that he hunter. Ami so shouts of defiance amfxultation fill the air as the warriors di fount and advance. Make real now! The drama of life is near its cloi The life and strength which excitemontlrought are beginning to die away. Th shouts come faintly to his cars; there a blur liefore his eyes; the 1 c ids wim hold tho rifle tremble with r*‘'akness. tenth is sweeping up from the valley in i .var plumes—death is creeping down froi lie hillside with swift step but invisible t n. And no lie shouts of the warriors are nearer aniouder, and their rifles are blaz ing death! the hunter, and lie turns his face to lufcn and pleads: “A fmSst seconds of strength and sight and I ontadv to go!” They .-(given liim—hist eyes clear —his form Kixf erect—he is the grand old fighter once mol Up comes the rifle—up—up — his eye Jam the sights— the weaptm is held as firm * rock, a:;tl when the red flame leaps oil chief flings up his arms and utters his denary.

Here I aril again, ami ■ don’t know how rest.,si I feel already. I mt want to go to Newport or Long ■neh, hut want to stay quietly at home ■l the season opens. Well, where shall I Bn M have traveled so many t housand B and seen so strawto things and nice people that I could never tell you ail about them. I’m an American citizen now, you know, and very rxroud of it you may oe sure. Of course I’ve only filed myiuteu tions, but that’s the same tiling. “I celebrated the Fourth in San Francisco by sending boxes of crackers into tb street, and it was great fun to soe the urchins set them off. I was to have recited something patriot*c in a stars and stripes costume and under the old flag, but had not the strength to do my part. I was suffering from malaria. It is so foggy and cold out there at times. Somebody has said that I cannot become a citizen according to the California laws, because I left my residence in San Francisco after taking the oath. But my lawyer says everything was regular.” “Why didn’t you become a citizen of Now York f” ‘‘Oh, it takes five years to qualify, as you might say. Two years are enough in Cali fornia, and you know I am in a hurry to become an American woman. I shall ho afraid to go back to England, for 1 have tempted all my servants away from their allegiance. The butler and the footman have both filed their intentions. Why, I'm an awful rebel. A reporter who interviewed me in San Francisco was an Englishman, and I told him it was a shame to stay in the country and not be a citizen. He "was persuaded and took the with. I am con verting everybody, and can never show my face in London again.” “To be a thorough Californian you should have a ranch,” suggested the re porter. “Oh, you should see the beautiful ranch 1 have in California,” said the Lily. “A good 7,000 acres in Lake and Napa counties. Doesn’t that look as if I were in earnest V' The reporter added where the little Chinese page was. “You might think because I wear this costume that the dear little fellow is with me. It was what you might eall the dress apparel of Prince Ko Ko. You can see his arms here ou the shoulder. But the little page 1 His papa claimed him in San Fran cisco and he was lost to me. But now I’m going to have an Indian boy; I left an order for a pretty fellow-at Ogden.” “Did you have any adventures in the West, Mrs. Langtry 1” “I should say I did,” clasping her hands at the memory; “the stage ride from Carson to Nevada City. A week, before the coach had been robbed. I had all the lamps lighted, and huddled up in the corner in a panic. I was going to be so nice and polite to the robbers if they came.” “Did you see the wild West?” “I should think I did. You see, I bought a lot of Indian trinkets at Laramie. I gave a performance—“ Pygmalion and Galatea" —and got all my money back from the Indians who came to see me. They be haved beautifully. Then there were the Indians who came in the car to see me. I used to make them presents. A handsome bravo at Ogden I took for a woman. Oh, it was so funny. I gave him fans and little things that please a woman, and he would have none of them. My butler took a fancy to his embroidered leggings. The brave took them off, and lo! he bared a leg all swarthy—not smooth and round, like a woman's.” “Did you have a good season out therel” “Yes, I was delighted with the people. In some places they broke down the doors to see me. Do you know,” (confidentially) “I never had such a year before, even when Mr. Abbey brought me out.” And then Mrs. Langtry drew a deep breath, half closed her eyes dreamily and mumured in her soft voice: “You don’t know how pleasant it feels for a poor woman to grow rich all by her own efforts and lie able to surround herself with so many little luxuries. I really be lieve,” she added, with a merry laugh, as if she thought her hearer would take her too seriously, “I like being a star.” “Of course,” she was asked, “you are going to bring all your pretty Indian things to this house to decorate it?” “Oh, no; you see I haye lost the house. Somebody has bought it, and my lease expires at the end of the year. I have made up my mind to get another on Stuy vesant Square. There I hope to make my permanent home. Not very fashionable perhaps, hut I like the quarter for the trees and fine old houses.” Mrs. Laugtry said she would probably rest in New York until her season opened on Sept. 18. “I am going to produce anew piece by Charles Coghlan. He will play the villain’s part. Iu one act I shall wear a boy’s costume of the sixteenth century, and havo a tremendous combat with tho sw r ord with Mr. Coghlan. Of course I shall kill him. I have practiced fencing for a year or more, and I think it will be an effective scene. If the play is a success I shall keep it on the boards as long as the public lilies it. My plans are quite extensive for next season; before it ends I hojie to play in Texas.” Mrs. Langtry seemed to think she would have a good deal of competition in this city during the winter. “Henry Irving is com ing over,” she said, “Jane Hading, too, jK'i'liaps Wilton Barret and other stars of great magnitude, but perhaps the rivalry will be the better for ns.” Tho Lily sweetly evaded an inquiry about certain legal proceedings which, rumor says, will make her a v.oman free from marital bonds.

A man came to me and said that his pocket had been picked of s!i and that his brother-in-law wit; off iu tho crowd with his eye on the man who did it. We started to hunt the brother in-law. I asked him if he had his eye on those two men and ho said lie did. He wouldn’t tell me at first. He looked on me with suspicion and thought I was an accom plice or something of 1 hut sort, but I reas sured hint and he [robiced them cut.

THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, AUGUST 16, 1887. CUTTING A WATERMELON. Tvyenty-stx New York Pickaninnies Made Happy. From the Xew York Eveninr; Sun. A reporter stopped at a fruit stand at the corner of Houston anti Thompson streets this morning. Tho stand was laden with luscious wedges of watermelon, out, of which peeped partially encysted black seeds resembling pieces of jet in a bed of coral. “How much*” said the reporter. “One centa,” replied tho Italian proprie tor with nn anticipatory grin. The reporter had taken one melting mouthful when he saw standing close bv a very small relic of “those agonizing, cruel slavery days.” She wore but a single gar ment. Her chin had dropped and a water melon longing was in her eyes. “Would you like to have a piece of water melon?” said the reporter. The dusky maiden put her thumb in her mouth and twisted bashfully around on one foot. Then she replied: “I hain’t got no penny.” The largest, juiciest, mellowest piece of fruit on the stand was handed to her. She grabbed it ns a hawk grabs a chicken and whisked out of sight around the corner. A minute later she reappeared with t hreo other equally dusky maidens, who looked sheepish and hungry" The Italian's stock was depleted to the extent of three more pieces, and the little Africans ran into the door of a big tenement. Like magic from tho win dows of the tenement woolly heads were thrust out. “Wha’ Is he?” came from a pair of thick lips in a hoarse, constrained whisper. “Dar he is behind do lam’ pus’. Dat ar’ little feller. Don’t ye see hijn, wid do big mouf? Now lie’s Citin’ de watermillion. Oh, you fool nigga, 3-011 can’t see nuffen’l” There was a scamper of hurrying feet and black expectant faces peered arpmui the corner and from behind telegraph poles. A good deal of whispering went on and at last a copper-colored tittle scamp mustered up enough courage to say: “Mister, will ye bu> r me a piece, too?” The scribe contracted with the dealer for a whole melon, and hud it cut up into thirty pieces. Then lie sent out scouts to gather in all the children of Ham that could he found. A grinning ravenous horde of twenty-six they proved to be. They w-ere ranged around the stand in a circle, and at a given signal they began to eat. The Italian be came alarmed for the whole neighborhood was drawing near. Just as tho little dar keys begun to get, near the rind the repor ter stole away, but not so quickly but that he heard the Italian say: “Now nigga-a, go home. Had watermel on. Shoo!” The black battalion scattered like chaff before the east wind. Probabably in no locality in this city is there as much watermelon retailed as in Mulberry street. The reporter counted twenty-eight places within three blocks of the Bowery this morning where watermelon could be bought for lc. a slice. The larger dealers had push carts upon which two or three melons were cut up awaiting custom ers, while the smaller dealers sat behind ta bles close to the curb. Eac h one of these re tailei-s sat behind tables close to the club. Each one of these retailers used a piece of broom handle upon which were tacked rushes to keep away the flies, which insects buzzed around in swarms. A brisk business was going on at each of these stands. Big, murderous-looking knives were used to cut up the fruit. The pavement was covered with melon rinds and the air was heavy with the odor of stale vegetables and fruit. Babies in arms were chewing watermelon, and little sons of Italy were fishing seeds from the gutters. At the corner of Bayard and Mott streets a venerable, crippled irishman has a stand. He said there was no money in a water melon cut up into 1-ceut pieces, because the fruit was liable to fall to pieces if a little too ripe when cut so thin. An ordinary- melon could be cut into from thirty- five to forty pieces of the 1-cent size. He bought his melons by the hundred. Tho price of the melons was $lB per hundred on the dock, but it cost him an dollar for delivery. If the fruit was all good and business was brisk, he could make a decent living, but the competition of the “dagos” had injured his trade materially of late years. There was a time when he had a stand on the op posite side of the street; even then he had to pay sls a month rent for his stand; that there was money in the watermelon busi ness, hut not now, he said, as he shook his head sadly. Beside the outlook was poor Peaches had been injured by the excessive rains, and altogether he didn’t know what a poor man was going to do in this country if “th" Europeans an’ th’ Ey-talians was goin’t’ be brought over here by th’ shipload.” THE PUMP SNAKE. Dakotans Discover a Reptile They Can Train and Use to Advantage. A dispatch from Mount Vernon. Dak., to tho Chicago Tribune says: In Central Dakota, 011 the “Missouri bottoms,” there exists one of nature’s strangest freaks. The settlei-s term it the “pump snake.” How it came there and where it came from is yet unknown. It first made its appearance in Emmons county in the spring of 18Sfi. A full grown pump snake measures about sixteen feet in length and about three inches in diameter. They are of gregarious habits, roaming the prai ries in large herds, as many as 300 having been counted in a single flock. 111 dissect ing one of these reptiles there is found a tube which extends from the roof of tho jaw to the extremity of the tail and termi nating in an opening This tulie is about two inches in diameter and lined with a tough, yielding substance similar to rubber. The pump snake is easily trained to answer to the call of man. The inhabitants in this section trap them in large number*. A farmer on Cat Tail creek lias u flock of twenty pump-snakes trained to a remark able degree of proficiency. At the blast of a whistle the snakes assemble on the banks of tho creek. The leader (there is always a leader to a herd of these makes, who is electee! by two thirds majority), dashes into the water of the creek, leav ing only' the extremities of it-, tail on the bank. Another snake imme diately gras|is the end of the leader’s tail in his jaws, a third snake takes hold of the second snake’s tail in a similar manner, and so on until there is a continuous line of snakes joined end on, extending to the water troughs in the cattle yards, tJO J feet away-. TIIO leading snake eommen-es to swallow or pump the waters of the creek, which passes through the long line of snake? r.s it would through a hose, and falls in a heavy stream into the trough. This agriculturist tol'l of an extraordinary circumstance which occurred a short time ago. While working in the field neat- his homo be observed fi-imes issuing from the roof of bis barn. Wild with ;-item-nt he hurried to tho blindpg building 1 nly to see that it was a hopeless lack fo- himself alone to attempt to extinguish the flames. In despair ho gnzeil on tho work of de struction; suddenly lie heard a loud rust ling in the tall g'-as.:, whence issued Ms herd of pump-Miul-.es ou I lie, run. Tin* lender hurled himself into tho creek, the rest instantly adjusting them selves, heads and tails from the creek to the burning building The last snake, standing on its head, waved it long a-id flexible lusly, from the tail end of which itaued u stream of water that was thrown with terrific force on f ho burning building. Beck and forth dashed the tiif end or that living hose, squirting the water where it would do the most good, while tie* loud pumping of the leader i-ouhl Is* heard 'above the roar of the conflagration. With in fifteen minute* the l ist, quirk ivu.*- out. Then, and not until then, did th" pump snakes quit work. They wen* completely exhausted, the lo.nler having fainted awav. The main part of the b'liUlbig and its con tents were vaved, thanks to the prose new of mind of these wonderful makes. The Territorial government i* becoming awakened to tint extreme usefulness of these interesting creatures, and laws are to be enacted to protect the pump make.
