1IT* OF IIISTORV Taken From One ol Tulnmtf’* !■»•«'• In the troubled times of Scotland Sir John Cochrane was condemned to death by the king. The death war rant was on the way. Sir John Coch rane was bidding farewell to his daughter Grizellie at the prison door. He said: "Farewell, my dar ling child; I must die.” His daugh ter said: “No, father, you shall not die.” “But,” he said, "the king is against me, and tho law is after 08^ and tho death warrant is on its way, and I most die; do not deceivo your self, ray dear child.” Tho daughter said, “Father, yon shall not die !” as she left the prison gate. At night, on the moors of Scotland, a disguised wayfarer stood waiting for the horse- mnn carrying the mail bags contain ing the death-warrant. The, disguised wayfarer, as the horse came by, dlntch- ed the bridle and shouted to the rider —to tho man carrying the mail-bags: “Dismount 1" He felt for his weap ons, and was about to shoot, but the wayfarer jerked him from his saddle ami he fell flat The wayfarer picked >1]. the mail-bags, put them on his shoulder, and vanished in the dark- nei s, and fourteen days thus gained foi the prisoner's life, during which the father confessor was pleading for t lie pardon of Sir John Cochrane by the king. The second time the death warrant is on its way. The disguised wax fin er comes along and asks for a h tie bread and a little wine, starts on across the moor, and they say: “Poor mail, to have to go out such a Htormx higlii; it is dark, und yon will lose .•••nrself on the moors.” “O, no," he -axs, “I will not,” He trudged on no stopped amid the brambles and waited for tho horseman to eotne enr- rxing the mail-bags containing the death-warrant of Sir John Cochrane. '1 lie iimil-cnrrier spurted on bis steed —for he xvas fearful because of what had occurred in the former journey— when suddenly through the darkness there was a flash of tire-arms and the borso became unmanageable, and as tho mail-carrier discharged bis pistol in response tho horse threxv hint, and the disguised wayfarer put his foot on the breast of his overt hr. ovn rider and said, “Surrender! Give up your arms or die!” The mail-earner surrender ed his arms, and the disguised way farer put upon his shoulders the mail bags, leaped upon the horse and sped invay in the darkness, gaining fom- teen more days for ttir poor prisoner, •Sir John Cochrane, and beforo the fourteen days bad expired pardon bad come from tbe king. The door of the prison swuug opeu and Sir John Cochrane was free. One day when ho xvas standing amid bis frionds, re ceiving their congratulations, tho dis guised xvnyfaror appeared at tho gate, and ho said, "admit him at once."— The disguised wayfarer came ill tiud said, “Here aro two letters; read them, sir, and cast them into the tire." Sir John Cochrane read them. They xvcrc his txvo death warrants, and he threxv them into tbe file. Then said Sir John Cochrane^To whom aiu I indebted ? Who i^wj* poor xvayfar- er that savtfit* my We? Wtftt is it V” And tho wayfarer turned nsiae and pulled ofl’the jekin and the ctmk mid the hat, aud lo !> it xvas Grizelie, the daughter of Sir John Cocwttfie.— “Gracious /Heavens 1” he cridn, “my child, my saviour, my oxvn Grizellie.” Bat a more thrilling story. Tbe death xvurrant had come foith from the King of Heaven nml earth. The death xvuirant read: “The sopl that siiiueth, it shall die." The death warrant coming on the black horse of eternal night. We must die! We must die ! But breasting the storm and putting out through the darkness xvas a disguised wax furor who gripped by the bridle the oncoming doom and llung il back, aud put His xvoiiudcd aud bleeding foot uu the overthrown rider. Meanwhile, pardon flashed from the throne—go free ! Opeu the of Hit throne and tb# dis guise of the seamless robes, you find be is bone of your bone, flesh of your flesh, your brother, your Christ, your pardon, yoar eternal life. Let all earth and heaven break forth in vo ciferation. Victory through our Lord Jesus Christ 1 “A guilty, weak and helpless worm. On Thy kind arms I fall; Be Thou my strength and righteouaneaa.

Burs of railroad iron were cut up into foot lengths and fired from some of bis heaviest guns, uud tbe Doise these missiles made as they weut sailing through the air xvas a sort of a cross between the shriek of u wo man and the bray of a ninle. Tbe Federals listened with wonder at the first fexv which banged through the tree tops, and presently one of the pieces fell jnst in front of a Pennsyl vania regiment A Captain stepped forward f<> inspect it, and after tam ing it over be rtishen'to his colonel with tbe news: “Colonel, them infernal robs are tiring railroad iron at us!” "No!” "Tbey aye for a fact!" “Captain, advance your company to that ridge and deploy, and the miu- ute yon find Jackson is getting ready to tire freight cars at us send me word. I don't propose to have my regiment mashed in the ground when it can jnst us well be decently exter minated iu the regular way!” The Chinese have a strong liking for all countries where gold ininin; iB carried on. It was the gold mines that first took them to California, and they have flocked to the Australian gold regions in great numbers. In tbe province of Victoria they have been very prosperous, many of their merchants having amassed princely fortunes. Tho same prejudice exists agniust them there, however, us in America, and they nre accused of every crime. Not only petty thefts, but big frauds of quite a civilized character are laid to their account.— Smuggling, too, Inis been most sue- ceHsftilly curried on by them, :tml not long ago the customs officers seized $50,00(1 north of smuggled goods in the liuiniN of one Chim-se merchant. A theatrical man at Chicago thought it xvoilld he smart to make a friend who slept with him believe that be bnd smallpox.
