" ‘ >a ; Emins m the sixties,” , tf1e f or man. ’He did *“ ' not ok . but over .orty, he must have ‘‘ u mor0 *Hau fifty, for the tales f tend carried so much of the color th" country that one found it difK- ust to diso. liove them. He was nn :;-im r noer of the Colorado Legisla- ire, and had come to Washington to iort. ior the passage of a bill to re- lieve railway employes, and was now -cited vilii a party of friends at one ,1 the small tables in the House res- taurant. If is life had been varied and interesting. He Lad been a cowboy, an engineman, a railway postal clerk and politician.^ had just finished Ihe Spanish interesting gentle- man an account of a bull tight whichhad taken place at Barcelona, in which, by some accident, the bull had the best of it. “I saw a bull fight on the plains once,” said tbe short man, layinn- h, g tools down, “right out iu the open with nothing to hide behind,‘nowhere to stand but on, and nowhere to fall out off,’ as the deceased bard of St Jo would say. “It was while wc were locating tho me of tho Uuion Pacific—simply driving across tho country and mak¬ ing observations. A couple of Sioux fell in with our party aud wore riding along looking for a chance to steal something, when we came suddenly upon a small herd of buffalo. The -rear guard, a sturdy old bull, was feed¬ ing aloug in a sag between tho sand hills, and, tho wind blowing from him to ue. prevented him from scenting our party until the two Indians dashed ;»y, cutting him off from tho main herd. Lowering his head the great brute bounded away up the little hill, at the top of which the two Sioux sat waiting to receive him. Each of the Indians carried a rifle, but to our sur¬ prise they were left hanging at the -addles. The bull made straight for one of tbe horses, but just as he seemed about to collide tho bron¬ cho sprang to one side and au arrow from tbo Indian’s bow was driven deep into the back of the bull. We expected the animal to bolt now, but he was enraged and scorued to escape. Turning, he came straight for the other Sioux, only to plow tho a:r close—alarmingly close—to the agile horse, which carried his rider safely to the rear. The first. Indian had by this time lived another arrow, and wheu the charge was made planted it deep behind tho bull’s left shoulder. The fight had by this time become so exciting that our driver, forgetting the danger, had driven up to within a hundred yards of the scene of the battle. Having bounded by one of the Indians, carrying another arrow away with him, the infuriated animal caught, sight of our wagon aud drove straight for us. It was like standing on the track iu front of a locomotive, and every man of us, realizing the great danger, was seized with a fear that al¬ most froze his blood. The driver was no tilled with terror that he made no attempt to avoid the collision, which, from the moment the bull passed the Indian, seemed inevitable. On be came, snorting like a snowplow and looking as formidable, and not one of us had presence of mind enough to reach for a rifle. We were too badly scared to move, but not so with the Sioux. Seeing our danger the bravo fellows turned their horses aud came galloping past the bull, one on either side, and us they passed him each drove an arrow into the mad brute. These new wounds seemed only to in¬ crease bis rage, and on he came, tear¬ ing toward us, but bo lore they reached our wagon, the Indians whirled their horses, aud with arrows drawn stood between us and the approaching buffalo. Tho horses had barely time to turn before the bull was upon them. One of the broncos sprang away, his rider emitting a wild yell as he ft- nt another arrow into the bleed¬ ing buffalo. The other Iudian was not so fortunate. His horse failed to clear and one of the bull’s horns caugh^in its side just behind the girth and plowed a great furrow back to the flank. “Tbe buffalo appeared to appreci¬ and ate the advantage of this thrust, at once turned and charged the un¬ horsed Sioux. The Indian might have ended the light by taking up his rifle, but he did not. Standing erect at the side of his dead horse he faced the rapidly advancing foe and sent an arrow deep under the shoulder blade. As the arrow left the string the Indian dropped beside the bofiy of his horse and the buffalo passed over him with¬ out doing any damage, Now tho mounted Sioux claimed the attention of the wounded bull, and again the Sioux on foot. By this time the buf¬ falo fairly bristled with arrows and resembled a huge porcupine, We oould see that the animal was getting groggy, as they say of prize fighters, but his sand seemed never to leave him. With a roar that would send a ehill down your spine, with blood spurting from his nostrils, he would drive like a hurricane at his tormen¬ tors, who, with the exception noted, seemed to avoid him by about the breadth of two hairs. When they had fought five minutes the earth for space of fifty eet about resembled a plowed field. The one living horse flecked with the Iroth of battle and, like the buffalo, snowed unmistak¬ able signs of exhaustion. As the tion of the bull grew slower, horseless Sioux fought further cover. At times he would stand tn tho; very face of his lurious •ary and after discharging his leap brushed to one side while the monster “We by. ning were surprised at the begin¬ of the fight to see the Indians using their bows, allowing their rifles to remain at the saddle, but our sur- prise was still greater now, * wheu the mounted Sioux turned his horse about left the field, leaving his compan- ion to fight it out single-handed, f he bull seemed to take new courage, finding but one of his assailants, aod for a time fought desperately. Of a 811 dden he stopped, facing the Indian, With his front feet far apart he ap- peared id rest, perhaps to collect his i f a8 * failing strength. He was an ob- e ct now to excite one’s pity, aud, al- though it raay seem unchristian, I al- most wished hecould win, for in those ‘Iftys there were nearly as many In- diansas buffaloes and they were infi- oitely more dangerous. “An arrow bad destroyed one of the Bull’s eyes, blood was rushing from mouth and nostrils and trickling from a score of wounds along his s P*nc. His life blood was ebbing awa J* now, seeing his tormentor standing before him, he made a last desperate effort to reach him. With a hounded mighty roar the bleeding brute forward, and it seemed to us iie re ff ftinecl a11 his l^st strength, for he went with the speed and force of aa express train. The tlann g >Sioux drew another arrow and let ll drive into the buffdl °. raade a feint of dodging to the right, aud then, leaping far to the left, let fly another arrow as the baffled bull went by. “The buffalo was by this time ac¬ quainted with the Sioux’s tricks, aud tho moment he passed the Indian, whirled and came back at his adver¬ sary with renewed vigor. The Sioux, surprised perhaps by the suddenness of tho charge, leaned back, stumbled, and nearly fell backward over the body of bis dead horse. Before be could regain his feet the animal was upon him. It seemed that in another moment the Indian would bo tossed high in the air, but the new lease ol life the bull had was out, and in that moment iu which we had looked to see him triumph, the great beast stum¬ bled and fell in a heap at the Sioux’s feet.”—Cy Wurman, in New York Sun. Iit Which Teeth Figure. Hippocrates, 4.10 B. C.,was the first dentist on record. Gold-filled teeth are found iu the jawe of skeletons exhumed at Pompeii. Wetting a brush and dipping it in salt will be found efficacious in remov¬ ing tartar. Dental science was utterly lost to the world during the dark ages, or for about 1000 years, aud was ouly res¬ tored in 1700. Out of 100 teeth of adults that twenty-five years ago would have been ruthlessly diawn at least ninety-nine are saved to-day by the progress of dental science. In China while the dentist pulls a tooth an assistant stands by aud drowns the lamentations of the victim by beating a large gong. The ancient Greeks used false teeth of sycamore wood fastened to the ad¬ jacent sound teeth by ligatures of silver or gold iu the way bridge work is done to-day. In aucient Egypt the art of surgery and medicine was confined to the priesthood and every priest adopted a specialty. His proficiency was attained in tho dental art. TJuder the Mosaic law of an eye for an eye ana a tooth for a tooth the re¬ gime was practically carried out and the lord high executioner numbered forceps among his instruments of penalty and torture. Weight Before and After Meals. Why is it that a man does not weigh a pound more after tating a pound of food than he did before? A little re¬ flection wfill readily explain this ap¬ parent mystery. During the process of mastication, degiutation, etc., cer¬ tain muscles are brought into active play. Now, it is a well-established fact in physiology that tho exercise of any muscle or set of muscles necessi¬ tates a temporary waste of tissue, and that a certain amount of carbon is eliminated and passed off in the course of a meal. This loss, however, is tri¬ fling as compared with thatof respira¬ tion and perspiration, both of.which functions are increased during the operation of making a meal. The length of time one may take to consume a pound of foo l makes but little difference iu the losses. If it be eaten very leisurely.there is but slight increase of respiration or perspiration. Whereas, if it be hurried through both are abnormally accelerated. Hence by the time the meal is iinished the con- sumer has lost appreciably in both moisture and carbonic acid. The above explains, in a rough but olear manner, why it is that a man may eat a pound of food and yet not weigh but from one-third to live-eighths of a pound more than he did before the meal. A JuJge of Grand Opera. It is customary at the opera house in Mexico for a judge of the perform- anco to be appointed, whose duty it is to see that other artists are not sab stituted for those advertised ; that the waits between the. acts are not too long and that things generally are managed to the satisfaction of the pub¬ lic. It is said that on one occasion, when Patti wa* singing in a company managed by Mr. Grau, etrtet or lers had been given that no one was to he admitted behind the scenes. It hap¬ pened that the son iu law of President Diaz had beeu appointed juflare and he was refused admittance. On leav ug he gave orders to arrest the man who had opposed his entr m -e. Not find- i ing him the soldiers arrested another man, who, not being able to speak | Spanish, was marched off to prison, and j it was several hoars before the matter was explained. REV. DR. TALMAGE. THE NOTED DIVINE'S SUNDAY DISCOURSE. Subject: “Divine Cliirograpliy.” Text: “Rejoice Because your names are written in heaven.’ —Luke x., 2l>. Ch rography. or the are of handwriting, . like ihe science of acoustics, is in very un- satisfactory state. While constructing a churcb, aud told by some architects that the voice would uol be heard in a building shaped iike that proposed. I came in much anxiety to this city and consulted with Prof. Joseph Henry, of the Smithsonian Institution, about the iuw of acoustic®. He **Go ahead and build your church i:i the shape pro- posed, and I think it will be all right. I have studied the law's of souu i perhaps more thau any man of niv time, un i i have come so far as this - Two auditoriums may seem to le exactly alike, and in one the acou-ttcs may be good aud in the other bad. Iu tue same unsatisfacierv stage is chtrography, to although science. many There declare tney those have who reduces they it a are say can rea l character by handwriting. It is said that the wav one writes the letter T decides his egotism or modesty, and the way one writes the letter “0 decides the height and depth of his emotions, lt is declared a cramped hand means a cramped nature, and an easy, flowing hand a facile and lU.-eral spirit; but if there beanythingin thisscteuce, i here must be some rules not yet announced, for some oi the boldest and most aggressive men have a delicate and smud penmanship, while some oi the most timid sign their names with the height and width and scope of the name of Johu flaneococ on theirnmor- ta! document. Jiui wnile the clnrography or the earth is uncenain, our blessed Lord '■! ? Ur «n 'Yhuraddwasiugtlw Xt l’ re f entli currography celes- ua . seventy disciples * standing . before Him, He said: •'Rejoice be- cause your names are written in heaven. 0l course, tne Bible, for the most part, . speaking of the heavenly world speaks wnen flguraii\el> while talking anout books an t about trumpets and about wings and about gates and a *out golden pavements and nnout orchards with twelve crops of fruit—one crop each month s.-u n »o\u the hor*es of heaven <t cavalry; but we do well to fouow out these inspired metaphors and reap trom them courage and sublime expectation and consolation and victory. We .ore told J'l l n 'f, library ^ tuereisaBook of Lne. rerhap;: there aro many volumes in it. When we say a book, we mean all writ- ten by the author on that aubjeoi. I cannot tell how large those heaven v volumes are, nor the splendoi o. tlieir binding, nor the number o: their pages, nor whether they are pietorialized with some exciting scenes of this world. I only know that the words have not been impressed by type, but written out by some hand, and that all those who. like the seventy spoken, disciples to whom the Lord text was repent and trust llie for their eternal sal vat on. surely have their- names written m heaven. It nuj not be the same name that wo earned on earth. We may, tnrough tha inconsiderateuess of _ parents. liave a name that »s uncouth, or that was afterward dishonored bv one after whom we were called. I do not know that the seventy entrances of the names of tho seventy dis- tuples correspond with the record in the genealogical table. It may not be the name by which we were called on earth, but it will be the name by which heaven wih know us, an 1 we will have it announced to us as we pass in, and avo wnl know n so certainly that we w ill uot have to be called twice by it, as iu the Bible times the Lord called some peo¬ ple twice by name: “Saul! Saul!” "samue,. „!• Samuel!” “Martha! Martha!” In examination of your name in the heavenly all. archives, it you flu tit there at you will find it written with a bold han \ You have seen many a signature that because of sickness or old age ha i a tremor in it, vet it was as bold as the man who wrote it. Many an order written on the battlefield aud amid the thunder of the euunona te has ha t evidence of excitement in every word aud every letter and in the speed with v/hieh it; was folded and handed to the officer as he put his foot in tho swift stirrups, and yet th it commander, notwithstanding his trem¬ bling hanL gives a boldness of order that shows itself in every word written. You do not need to be told that a trembling hand does not always mean a cowardly hand. It was with a very trembling hand Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, signet his name to the Declaration of American Independence, but no signer had more courage and when some one said, “There are many Charles Carrolls, and it wil uot be known which one it is.” he resumed the pen and wrote Char es Carroll Carrollton. ~ Trembling of hand no sign of timidity. The daring and defiance seen in the way your name is written in heaven is a challenge to all earth and hell to come on if they can to defeat your ransomed sou!. Again, if according to the promise of tho text, you are permitte l to look into the volumes will of find eternity it written and in see lines, your in name words, Jh£re, iu you letters unmistakable. Some people have come to consider indistinct and almost un¬ readable penmanship a mark of geiiiu-!, and so they affect it. Because every paragraph that Thomas Chalmers, aud Dean Stanley, and Lord Byron, and Rufus Choate and other potent men wrote was a puzzle, imita¬ tors make their penmanship a puzzle. Alex¬ ander Dumas says that plain penmanship is the brevet of incapacity. Then there are some who, through too much demand upon their energies and through lack of time, lose the capacity ef making the pen intelligible, and much of the writing of this world i.s in¬ decipherable. We have seen piles of inex¬ plicable chirographv, and we ourselves have helped augment the magnitude. We have not been sure of the name signed, or the sentiment expressed, or whether the reply was affirmative or negative. Thr ugh in¬ distinct penmanship last wills and testa¬ ments have been defeated, widows and orphans robbed of their inheritance, railroad trains brought into collision through the dim words of a telegram put tuto the hand of a conductor, aud regiments, in this wise, mistaking their instructions, have been sacrified in battle. I asked Bishop Oowie, in Auckland, New Zealand, the Bishop having been in many of tne wars, what Tennyson, in his jmmortal poem. “Tne Charge of the Lig t Brigade,” meant by the wor s, “Some one had blundernd,” and the Bishop said that the awful carnage at Bulaklava was the result of an indistinctly-written and wrongly-read military erder, “Some one ha>t Plundered.” But your nanm-, once written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, will be so unmistakable that all heaven can read it at the first glance. lt will not be taken for the name of some other, so that in regard to it there shall come to be disputation. Not one of the mil ions and billions and quad- trillions of the llnady save t will doubt that it means you and only you. Od. the glorious the rapturous eertitu le of that cm ranee on the heavenly roll. NM saved in a promiscuous mob. No, way. No: put iuto a glorifie l no!

A religious me eiing was thrown open, and all those who could testify of the converting grace of Grod wero asked to speak. Silence reigned a tno- aud theu a man covered with the marks of dissipation arose and said: “You <>an gee f rorn m y looks‘what I have been, but j am now a saved man. When I left home a thousand miles from here 1 had so disgraced ra y father’s name that he said, ‘As you are K°ing away I have only two things to ask of you, first! That you will never come home again, and next, you will change your name.’ I promised. I have not heard my real name lor years. I went the whole round of sin, until there was no lower depth to fathom. But I am by the grace of God a changed mail. I wrote home asking forgiveness for my waywardness, and here are two letters, one from, my father and another from my sister. My mother (Hed of o broken heart.

If you have ever been in the thick woods and heard the sound of village bells you know tho sound is hin¬ dered and muffled by the foliage, though somewhat sweet, but as you come to the edge of the woods the sounds become clearer, and more charming and when you step out from the deep shadows into the sunlight you hear the full, round, mellifluous riuging of the bells. Oh! ye, down in the thick shadows of unbelief and who hear only the faint clear notes sunlight of this Gospel pardon bell, come out into the of and peace, andhear the full chime of eternal harmonies from all the l owers of heaven.

HOUSES OF REFUGE DISCONTINUED No Further t'ie lor Those oa the East Coa*t of Florida. Secretary Carlisle ordered the discontinn, anee of the houses of refuge on the eastern coast of Florida, at Chester Shoals, Bither Cree.c, and Orange Grove. These houses of refuge, ten in number, were established years a S° on that coast, when along its entire length of 250 miles there were not more than seventy-five inhabitants. Now there are 10.- 000 from tne la3t report of the District Su¬ perintendent. Six of these houses are stilt in operation. The distance between these houses averages tweDty-six mites, and at each mile along the coast are piaoed guide po-ts, indicating the distance and direction to the nearest station.
