Capt. Thomas Bryno, or “Old Tommy,” as he was affectionately called by all his associates, had at ono time charge of the Tlual- dais, a tribe of Indians settled in northwestern Arizona. Old Tommy, perhaps from his “dolud- horiu’ tongue,” had an almost miraeulous ascondanoy over the chiefs and the head men of this tribe, and though his native elo quence was seconded only by the scantiest allowances of rations from the subsistence stores of the camp, ho wits loved and trusted by these childlike allies. To hear him coaxing hack a sulky worrier to good humor was something to ho long remembered. “Como, now,” he has been hoard to say, “share, phut is do malther wid ye? Have yes iver axed me for anythin' that Oi didn’t promise it to ycz?” Yet Tommy’s promises were always kept. Suddenly one day the Ilualpuis, like a Hash of lighining out of a clear sky, went on the warpath and lived on the agency buildings before leaving for their old stoiig- hold in the Canon of the Colora do. No one knew the cause of their sudden treachery,- and Tommy Byrne was one of those who realized how much it would cost Undo Sam in blood and treasure if the outbreak were not stopped at once. Without waiting for his spirit ed little horse to ho saddled ho threw himself across its hack and swept, out into the lulls after the. fugitives.

The ninth district of Carroll county lies in the extrem nolh- western part of Carroll and bor ders on the Alabama line. A HOUGH REGION. Just over the line, in Alabama is Cleburne county, and the part of the county adjourning the state line is quite rough, and the ceni- zens of the mountains near the state line aic rougher than the country. Moonshine whisky by the thousands of gallons is made among these mountains and ped dled out to “boys of the little brown jug” of the adjacent towns of Bowden, Kdwaidsville, Talla- ! poosa, Buchanan, Waco and Car- W<; aru centrally located in tlie richest i r() m ())K w h(TO local option pro hibits the open vending of the ardent.

A Texas steer which would not weigh, more than 800 pounds stood at 1,700, and of course other articles followed in the same ratio.

Thus was a bitter war averted by the promt action of a plain unlettered man who had no ideas about managing savages be yond that of treating them with kindness and justice. AN AERIAL LAKE. There is in Missouri, a lake perched on top of a mountain, its surface from fifty to one hundred feet below the level of tlie earth surrounding it, fed by no surface streams untouched by wind, dead as the sea of Sodom. There is no point of equal altidude from which water could llow within 'hundreds of miles, and yet it has a periodical rise of thirty feet or over, which is in no way affected by the atmospheric conditions in the country adjacent. It, may rain for weeks in Webster county and tho return of fair weather will find Devils lake at its,lowest point, while it may reach its highest point during a protracted drought.

The sense of sight is ex tremely well developed in fishes, and years ago the Indi ans recog nized this and attracted fish at night, to tho point of their spears by flic glare of torches. AY hen used along with'tho electric light most kinds of nets become sim ply murleous in their effects, for the brilliancy of tho light, is an irresistible attraction to the fish. Salmon fishers and others who take and pack fish on a large scale arc resorting to the use of the electric liglij. for this purpose, and tho wholesale destruction of fish is likely to lead to the exter mination of certain species. The great injury arising from this cause consists in the fact that such quantities of fish are caught that a large propotion of them arc wasted, instead of being turn ed to their legitimate use of foed- the population of tho coun try, says Electricity. Tho in discriminate destruction, of fish in this way is almost criminal, and if prompt measures be not taken for placing it under some sort of restriction our fish supplies will in a few years be, if not exhaus ted, very seriously crippled. AFTER A BARGAIN. Tho following incident, related by the Minneapolis Times, would fend to show the susceptibility of tho feminine mind in catching on to tho “genuine bargains” of speeiij sale days. The other day a pretty, well- dressed little woman, wearing a soft brown marten cape, rushed into one of the leading fur stores on Nieollea avenue and hurriedly inquired for tho proprietor. Hav ing found him, she gracefully re moved the cape from her ; iimil- dors and blandly asked him what he would give for it. “Why,” said the old gentle man, somewhat taken aback by his unusual onslaught, “such dealings as this are not quite in lino with our way of doing busi ness.” “I paid sixty-five dollars for it only last month,” she continued in a flutter. “Will you givo mo thirty-seven dollars and fifty cents for it?” In a way that left the old gentleman rather ill at ease. AVith best, grace possible, he saw there was no other way oiitof it, ho called his cashier and instructed him to pay the money tnd ottered to send for the gar ment. “No,” she said, her eyes bright ening as she received the tliirtj- seven dollars and fifty cents. “I want you to bring me in a hurry that brown marten cape in your window marked down to twenty- seven dollars and fifty cents. I have passed and passed that win dow and the fact of so wonderful a bargain has lmuited me until I felt that I must have it at any cost. This leaves me ten dollars, which I intend to spend at tho special sale of trimmed hats this afternoon.” This remarkable specimen of womanly frankness left the store in ecstasy, also leaving the hearts of the clerks in a 11 utter.

Captain King, at one time gov ernor in an Australian colony, was noted for his cceentricitcs. 1 day ho was awaited on by two prisoners suing for pardon. The petition of the one was signed by all the leading meu of Sydney, that of the other boro but one name. “How comes it,” asked tho governor, “that you have only one name on your petition, while this man has so many?” “I have lived with ono mastro all my time, sir,” said tho mini, ‘T didn’t know anybody else.” Tho governor immediately gave him pardon, hut dismissed the other applicant with tho follow- g remark. “A’ou know so many rich peo ple that you don’t need anything more. BLEACHING HORSES. At Batesville, Ark., a recent shooting affray brought into no tice a woman known us “Sorrel Sue.” She lias always appeared in public, riding a sorrel horse. It was believed she belonged to a gang who stole horses, says the Spokane Spokesman. A surgeon who was summoned to attend ono of her admirers, who had been wouiidcd in the row, mistook his way and wand ered into Sue’s cabin. Before ho could he hustled out he saw things which roused suspicions. These he reported to Sheriff Timeoc, who, with a posse, man aged to surround the don of horse Ihieves, capturing Sue and two of her gang. He found that sue had applied the means of bleach ing her own lutir to that of her horses when the posse entered they found a horse enveloped in a jacket made of rubber coats, bo- treated to a sulphur vapor hath. The appliances were very ingenious, and worked very well. A black or ,bay horse would bo stolen and run into the bleachery. After its color was changed and its mane and tail trimmed, the disguise became so pro nounced that without any great risk the animal could be taken in daylight through the very district a from which it was stolen. It was 4j Sue’s busbies not only to super intend tho bleaching but to ride the animal out of the country. INDIVIDUAL DISLIKES.

Tho sea yields many precious things—coral, amber and pearls— but it is not generally known that in certain parts of the Meditera- nouu a species of mussel is found ot which tho shells contain ono of the most bciiutifultextilo materials known. These shells are about seven inches long and three inch es broad, and each of them con tains a piece of fiber weighing half a drachm, from which spun and woven goods are made.
