£ '■ j — - ' LITTLE TEXAS HILL. f (Mil Hrr.c, nnrt (hr IVciiUar nmnnrr In Whlrh Ho Looked Alter n Kltl’a Inter, eats. A Texnn correspondent tells the fol lowing story of (i Western desperado,_ known ns “Old Ueisef” who lthd killed liis score of men, nnd,was known ns n desperado, Tho writer/says; Sturgis is n gnmbler, tuid wlioti ho first enme here everybody wns nfrnid of him, n1id lio sorter rim tho settlement. . Old Reese wns nwny then. Ho enmo back v here nbont two montliR ago. Tito dny lie returned he wns passing along when he met n little boy crying. Old Rceso is very fond of children, nnd they nil like him. Ho picked tho little follow up, dried his tears, and inquired tho cause of his trouble. Between his sobs tho boy told his story. He wns tho only son of a ’■ poor widow womnn who lives down by \ ltho fiver, nnd does washing for tho ( gamblers. Early, in tho spring Sam thurgiS ehiployod' him to attend to his ^ hatpo promising 'to.pay him two dollars a week for his services. Glad to bo able to help his mothor, tho little fellow took charge of tho gambler's cnballo, and groomed and fed him, for sixteen weeks. Then Sturgis sold tho animal, nnd the boy's services werd -no longer required. Ho had just been in'lo nsk Hturgis for liis pay, and the gambler had not only not paid hint, but had kicked him out of tho casino. “lie kickod you, did ho ?” said Rceso, nnd those bluo eyes of his snapped, “Yes, sir,’’ faltered tho boy. “And ho won't pay yon votir money ?" "No, sir," whimpered tho boy; “and mother needs it.” “I think lie'll pay," answered Rooso. “You run right home, how, and I’ll be right down to seo you presently, nnd bring tho money." Hturgis was pretty flush then and wAs running a big game. Old Reeso weTd.*(lown to son him. Well, sir it’s only about a week ngo that ho recovered from that interview and was able to bo about. Old Reeso walked into tho saloon, fail'd fur pen and pnpor, and mndu out the following bill: . Haw Htuuoir : To TMK Wnmw WtllTS's Km, Dr. To herding- pony tfl weeks, < at *2 per Anfk :.... if,'12 no ■ To lurking Huld Kid whun ho asked fur his in any no on To oA8 of colieetidii 1. v........ 00 titia 00 Itec'd payment. llo walked up to tiro lahlo \vher Sturgis was dealing monte ami laid this bill beforo him. “Sturgis,” ho said, "pfl^ tltis : little bill, atm I'll roooipt it.” Tho gambler glanced at the paper, jltmpod to bis feet, jerked out his six- shooter, and said: "I'll*o hanged if I do I" “i think yon will,” said IteeRp, and - lie knocked tho fellow down.V* ' Be [ora ho could regain liiH foot old Reese was upon him. Ho jerked the six shooter out of Sturgis’s hand, and heat him over tire bead with it until ho cried for mercy. “WillKou pay tho bill?” nsltedReeso, raising the six-shooter to hit liiiiAtgain. “Yes.” And lie paid it. *■ • - • But Riposo was not through with him yet. Tlioro was a .lustieo of tlitxIVaou in Laredo at the time, a reCerri'dntftitTi- tion. Old lleese knew Unit the* gainljiy would have him arrested for tho AssMilt, and compel him to p.ay a flno.

A letter from Morohead, N. 0., says; — At the still hour of midnight, hnd the tramp of Gabriel summoned us all to n final worldly reckoning, moro excite ment, consternation and woeping could not havo come over the many good peo ple who wero present and witnessed the most wonderful and miraculous escape that ever happened in this or any other country. Mrs. Robert Elliott, of’Texas, bos been here for tho post ten days or more, to restore tho health of her child Birdie, a bright and sweet little cliorub, less than three yonrs old, who is much emaciated from a spell of Texas foyer. This morniDg about ten o’clock a stroll ing Italian modo his appearance in front of the hotel, with a largo cluster of those red bladders like toy balloons, Major Hawkins, of Alabama, to amuse little Birdie, who ho hod at that timo in his arms, tied tho cord around her waist and then oe is often done to amuse chil dren, gave her a toss of five or six foot into the air and held out his hands for her return. “Great God I Bheisgono.” cried the Major, ns ho saw her rapidly going up, up, until slio had passed tho housetops. Floating in tho clouds, with outstretched hands, tho litllo angel could be heard distinctly calling: “Mamma, momma, mamma,” until her voice beenmo drowned by tho whistling of the winds, for the littlo ono was drift ing to sea By an act of Divino Frovidonco, Mr. Charles J. VoorlieeB, of the Southern Express Company, with a party of gen tlemen, wnB'out taking n sail. Mr. Voorhees is one of the most expert rifle men in the country, nnd ns God hnd ordnined it, he hod on board bis Smith & Wesson rifle. He nt once took in tho situation, remarking, “Six miles out nt sea, and going at the rate-of ten miles an hour, and now 400 yards high, and every minute going higher, higher, .'higher. I can cut those balloons, and will do it or die.” “Bang!” went tho rifle—but no cbnnge in position. Again, again and again—the fifth shot- -ono balloon dis appeared amidst 1 lie shouts of the bont- men. At the eight shot it became evi dent that the balloons could no longer oarry the weight of tho little floating angel, as she wns gradually descending, not in a straight line, but in a southeast direction, toward Harker’s Island, but whether dead or alive, none could tell. Down, down, down site comes—ns gen tle as if handled by human hands—and to fall in a cradle of sand. With fear and trembling, all ran up—Ben Piver in front. “Gentlemen,” says he, “I will be dinged, if she ain’t live nnd kicking.” There sat little Birdie playing with a lot of shells, and ns she was picked up she dung on to a handful, saying, “Dcso sels for mamma.” With the prize they all returned to the boats. There snt Mr. Voorhees, with a death-like pallor on his counte nance, and when told that he had saved the babe unhurt, his tender heart gave way, and he wept like a child. Tho little darling came out as bright ns a new pin, nnd seemed to look upon the whole matter as fun gotten up for her amusement. Thus ended a day of the most intense exeitement that the oldest inhabitant nt this old North Carolina resort ever dreamed or thought of, and may the ^ writer never again witness its like. REPAIR SHOP, 85 Decatur 6t., - AT^kNTA, GA. Some folks would say (BEt the above is n little t» much mixed up to be very good in either of its departments, and that Mr. Cunningham cannot be a very good watchmaVei if he works on guns sewing machines, and anything else that comes along.

Saved By a “Madstone.” William Pylo, a book agent residing with his wife and two children nt Dela ware, Ohio, was bitten by a mad dog on Saturday last. He was soon nfter taken with hydrophobia and was kept under control only by the use of strong opiates. Sunday he gTew worse rapidly, nnd it Was feared he would die. Monday a madstone was applied. This peculiar stone was found iu the possession of a man named Lepp, whose father brought it from Virginia seventy years ago. The stone is of a lead-color and is shaped like a honey comb. It gave the ufllieted man instant relief. Tiie attending phy sicians, while placing very little confi dence in the efficacy of the madstone, now declare that there is strong hope of the man’s recovery. Recently, while stocks were selling at npish figures, a woman who visited Bchnlz's market was asked what she wished. She replied : “Let me look at the stock quotations first. ” After glanc ing over them a moment she remarked: “Well, you may send the nicest roast you have to the house.” On Saturday last she again visited the market, and after looking over the list she ordered a soup bone.—Carson Appeal,
