& E MILL-WHEELS SONG.
»nd and round the mill wheel goes
From early morn till night:
The mill-stream turns itas-it flows,
And then'runs out of sight.
m But there the old mill-wheel remain
j Arid lets the mill-stream run,
And if it shines, or if it rains,
It sings, at set of sun:
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip,
Many a wave from off of me will bear a gal"
lant ship!
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip,
But for me the miller in the tavern could not
sip!
Round and round I cannot go
When the bleak winter comes,
And wind and snow do bravely bio
And when the brown bee hums,
I hear the children laugh and play,
I hear the crackling corn.
And merrily, all through the day.
The gay wind blows his horn:
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn,
I make the fires in the cots upon the hill side
burn!
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn,
When man is older than the world he need
not live to learn!
Round and round I gaily turn
From spring till autum (lies;
My humble role I do not spurn,
Ivor pass my life in sighs.
I do the very best I can,
And try to be content;
And, since my modest life began,
I’ve sung, when day was spent:
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish,
swish,
I clothe the good wives’ children and fill the
good wives’ dish!
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish,
swish,
The corn I crack pays for the good wives’
meat and bread and fish!
Round and round I do not pass
M hen long days go to sleep;
Not when the lads have each a lass,
As down the road they creep!
I sometimes catch the whispers low,
And sometimes catch a kiss,
As by the old red mill they go—
Next day I sing like this:
Dash, dash, dash, dash, dash, dash, dash,
Gayly now I turn the yellow corn to yellow
cash!
Dash, dash, dash, dash, dash, dash, dash,
Just listen to the song I sing as waters from
me splash!
—John E. McCann, in Once a Week.
WHITE AGAINST RED.
Directly following the close of the
Indian campaign in which the gallant
Custer lost his life, there was a year ot
dangerous peace on the frontiers. I
mean by that that while the redskins
were supposed to have been thrashed
into submission, and while they were
apparently at peace, they lost no oppor
tunity to murder helpless people. The
whites were bound by honor to observe
tho peace and to trust them to a certain
limit, and, knowing this, the more dis
satisfied bucks took every advantage.
I was .still in the employ of the Gov
ernment as a scout and rider, and it was
my luck »to bring about the capture of
four bucks who were guilty of murder
ing an old man. They were awaiting
trial, when a young warrior named j
Black Serpent, who was the sen of
one of the arrested men, sent me
word that he would have my
life in revenge. I was stationed
at Fort Hays, and he sent word in bv a
trader. Black Serpent was an Apache,
and was described to me as being about
twenty-three years of age, strong, fleet,
and as cunning as a fox. I did not
know him by sight, while he doubtless
had the advantage of knowing me. In
two or three instances when sm-h mes
sages have been brought in they were
accompanied by the further information
that the sender would be at a certain
place at a certain hour. The recipient
bad his choice to show up and kill or be
killed in a fair exchange of shots, or rec
tum the message in contempt, and take
his chances of being assassinated. Black
Serpent gave me no alternative. He
meant to catch me o'.l my guard and kill
me. _
While it wasn’t very pleasant to have
such a threat hanging over a man, I did
not worry much about it. Indeed, it
was the habit of every scout to take all
possible precautions anyhow. I simply
felt that I had the right, he having sent
me the message, to shoot the young buck
on sight, and as for what he was goin« T
to do, I left that all to him.
About a week later I was called upon
to make a ride of about seventy miles to
a camp on the t moky Hill stage route, i
and as I was ready to set out several of
my friends came to me and cautioned me
to look out for Black Serpent, who had
been seen the day before about ten miles
from the fort and directly on the route I I
should travel. According to the terms
of surrender he shou d have been under
supervision at the agency, dishorsed and
disarmed, but here he was, galloping
about on a war pony, armed with a Win” (
Chester and a navy revolver, and lying |
jn wait to do murder. I was as ready as
I could be to encounter him. I had the
same, firearms and a splendid horse, and
unless he ambushed me he would have
no odds in his favor.
So far as animal cunning goes the
American Indian has no superior on
earth. He is quick of ear and vision,
keen to take in a situation, and he
reasons pretty well up to a certain
point. .Novelists have, however, ele
vated him too high. A white man who
has been trained in the Indian country
can see, hear or smell just as keenly, run
just as fast, shoot better, go without
food and water just as long, and when
it comes to “liguring” he can beat the
sharpest redskin by a length. I don’t
say this because I had to figure against
Black Serpent, but because I have seen
it proved in fifty instances. When an
Indian plots against a white man he
plots something to be executed under
cover of darkness; While nty route lay
over a lonely and broken couutry, small
of soldiers were shifting
about, and I reasoned that Black Ser
pent would hardly take the chances of
an ambush. The report of his gun might
bo heard, or he m ght miss me in shoot
ing, or he might be seen in the locality
of the deed and suspected of it. While
Jie would have an opportunity at every
mile of the journey to shoot at me from
behind rock, or bush, or ridge, I rode
along without special vigilance, arguing
for reasons above given, that he would
not dare to do it.
It was 1 o’clock in the afternoon be
fore I knew that he was on my trail. As
I rose a ridge I caught sight of him
about a mile away, but my observation
was so slyly made that he could not say
I had detected him. He had been con
cealed in a gully about five miles back.
I learned afterward that a half breed
who hung about the fort had told him
that I would probably be sent off in that
direction, and that he had been en
camped in the gully for three days and
watching for me. Black Serpent was
doing just as 1 reasoned he would—
waiting for night. I intended to
make an easy journey of it by riding
about forty miles and camping for the
night. He knew this would be the way
of it, and he had no intention of attack
ing me during daylight.
I kept on at the same steady pace dur
ing the afternoon, halting twice to water
my horse. Three times during the after
noon I got sly peeps of my pursuer, who
kept at a respectful distance, and doubt
less chuckled to himself at the thought
of being on my trail and unsuspected. I
had to make what is called a “dry
camp.” That is, with no water at hand.
There was scant herbage for my horse,
but I knew he would not wander far,
and that no Indian living could stampede
him or ride him away. I knew from the
actions of the animal as soon as I dis
mounted that there was another horse
near by, but I built a lire and toasted
my meat, and had enough water in my
canteen to make a cup of coffee.
Black Serpent would not be in a hurry.
When an Indian is trailing you he likes
to en joy his triumph. lie plays with
you as a cat does with a mouse. Ten
o’clock would be soon enough for him,
and I sat in plain view of my fire smok
infi until after 9. Then I smothered the
blaze for five minutes, and during this
interval rigged up my blankets to make
a “dummy.” When I retreated into the
darkness and looked back, the figure was
good enough to deceive anybody. Black
Serpent would not approach on my trail
but from exactly the opposite direction,
and I crept away in the darkness until I
was fifty feet from the fire.
It was, as near as I could figure it
about an hour when the young bu c k
came creeping up from the direction
anticipated. I’ll give him credit lor
passing over the ground as noiselessly as
a rabbit could have moved. He had left
his rifie behind, calculating to use his
knife on me. He was all of twenty
minutes ere tping his last twenty feet,
and I sometimes doubted if my eyesight
had not deceived me. He was within
six feet of the dummy before he detected
it, and then he sprang high in the air and
uttered his death-whoop, knowing that
I was laying for him. He came down
in a heap at the crack of my rifie,and he
was dead when I got to him. I kept
his entire outfit, sending word to his
friends what had happened, and that I
held myself answerable to them, but no
one troubled me about it, even to lay
claim to any of the property.
A year later, when things generally
were more settled, but with dissatisfied
bucks breaking away from the agencies
at intervals to make raids, an Indian
quarter breed stole some things from
Fort Larned, and I run him down and
captured him. He was imprisoned for
several weeks, and some of his buck
friends declared that I should pay for
the “indignity” with my life. It was
honorable enough in their eyes to steal,
but a great indignity to pay the penalty
of thieving. The three bucks whom I
had to fear were called Bed Earth, Half
Moon, and Cloudy Day. They drew ra
tions at the agency, and were supposed
to live within the limits, but as a matter
of fact were prowling over the country
most of the time aud ripe for any mis
chief.
I was then riding between two posts
about eighty miles apart. I took two
days to go and tvro to return, and, then,
after a rest of two days, I made the trip
again. This had been the programme
for two months, and the Indians knew
it and could count on my wherabouts at
a certain date. For twenty-five miles of
the journey I had a stage road and was
sure of company. For tw’enty miles
further the country was fairly sale,there
being many hunters and trappers and
scouts out. The dangerous part of the
country was confined to about twenty
five miles. The route lay along the base
of a mountain—up a valley—over a sharp
rise, and across several gulches. I
selected the spot where the Indians
would attack me if they held to their
threat, .lust as the trail left the base of
the mountain to take to the valley there
was a canon making into the gjeat
mound, and the trail ran within thirty
feet of its mouth before turning to the
left. If the weal her was good I always
passed this point in going West at a 1 out
u o'clock in the morning. In going
the other way 1 ;Mved about sundown,
and made my camp in the bushes grow
ing around a spring.
I figured that the Indians would sho.ot
me down as I rode up to the spring, pr
very soon after 1 had di-mouuted. They
would then drag my body up the canon
and conceal iL and li ad my horse as far
up as possible and then kill him. I
would bo missed and searched for, but
it might he a week before any trace was
discovered. By that time the wolves
aud vultures would have left nothing to
identify, and the assassins would have
been conspicuously present at the
agency. It is still the unwritten law of
the frontier that when a man threatens
your life, even if he is drunk at the time,
you are.expected to protect yourself by
shooting him first. I had witnesses that
these Indians had threatened to w pe me
out. I was expected to shoot any one of
them on sight. I’d have been called a
fool or a coward to take any other course.
It was the cunning of the rod man
against the wisdom of the white. If I
was wrong in my conclusions then my
life would pay the penalty. I knew they
would not act upon their threat at once,
as they would expect me to be on my
guard and perhaps have an escort, and
I waited until my second trip before
carrying out my plans. The Indians
would reach the canon in the afternoon.
A lookout could see me rive miles away.
Half a mile from the spot, however, there
was a wooded ridge to hide my imme
diate approach, and this ridge ran
around to the canon.
I moderated the pace of my horse to
suit my plans, and approached the valley
half an hour ahead of my usual time.
When three miles away I dismounted,
tied a string tightly about my horse’s
right knee, and then advanced leading
him. The cord caused him to limp as if
ho had gone lame, through accident, 1
felt that I was under the eyes of one of
the Indians, and that before I reached
the timbered ridge he would rejoin his
two companions in the canon. I
slouched along as carelessly as possible
until I reached the ridge. Then I seni
my horse forward alone, knowing that
he would halt at the spring and wait for
me. As soon as he wa3 gone I struck
into the timber and circled around to get
as close to the mouth of the canon as
possible. The last 200 feet of the dis
tance I crawled upon my hands and
knees.
My horse had stopped by the way to
catch up a mouthful of grass here and
there, and 1 got my first look into the
mouth of the canon just as he approached
the spring. For a moment I was ready
to acknowledge that I was beaten at my
line of reasoning, I could see nothing
of the redskins, while the horse was
drinking, the woald-be assassins, who
were the semi-darkness,
moved. hjto view. Yes, the
three of rbejh ' there, and each had
his rifle, ar.-T' •s-jjj&ad come to kill me.
Their actlorj proved it. They waited
three of four minutes to see w-hy I did
not come up, and were then about to
move forward when I opened fire. I
dropped Half Moon in his tracks, tumbled
Cloudy Day over as he sprang for shel
ter, and fired upon, but missed, Bed
Earth as he dodged behind a great boul
der. Had he jumped backward into the
canon he would have had all the advan
tage, but in his sudden surprise he made
three or four leaps, and took shelter be
tween me and the spring.
I should not have fired upon him had
he run off, and if he had asked fora
truce I should have granted it. But he
was determined to have my life. He had
a good Winchester, and he got such se
cure cover that I was obliged to lie low
and let him do all the shooting. He
yelled out to me that he had me dead to
rights and he would soon lift my scalp,
aud he called out, as if to other Indians,
to get in behind me. He did this to
rattle me and make me expose myself to
his aim, but I saw though Ins game. I
do not know how I would have come
out had we been left undisturbed, but
my horse presently came to my aid. The
firing had excited him, and he had been
trained to look upon an Indian as an
enemy. He saw the red skin down be
hind the rock and charged him savagely.
The fellow sprang up and exposed him
self, and I was waiting for the oppor
tunity.
The three Indians had come to the
ambush on horseback. I took their
ponies, rifles, and other truck to the post
with me and turned them over to the
commandant. He sent word to the head
men of the tribe at the agency of what
had happened, and a chief named
Lame Deer, accompanied by three Ducks,
came after the things. It was explained
to him that the men bad threatened my
life and were in ambush to shoot me
down, and Lame Deer took a pull at his
w’hisky bottle, looked me over wdth a
grunt of approval, and said:
“Man-Who-Bides-Fast do just right.
Injun must let him alone. Who got
smoke tooack for Lame Deer?”— New

Telegraphers Who Make Fortunts.
I don't.know how it happens, says a
writer in the New York S ar, but it
sceaJa to me that mere telegraphers drift
into all street and achieve riches them
than at\y class I # am acquainted with. A
few evenings ago I was at an uptown
club with some gentlemen, when one cf
the .party had a telegram delivered to
him. He opened it, looked at it doubt -
fully, and then said that it was unintel
ligible. The operator, in fact, had
“bulled” it badly, and as it was about a
subject of importance to him, he was
somewhat anuoyed. Another member of
the party, a prominent stock exchange
man, quietly took it, and without a word
jotted down the message as it was writ
ten in the Morse alphabet. He then
ferently from the bungling operator who
had received it, wnd gave the other gen
tleman what was evidently the correct
t wording of the message. “Where did
you jearn anything about telegraphy?”
asked some one. He looked up and
laughed. “'Why, fifteen )ears ago 1
was a working operator at sls a month.’'

Willfulness is no mark of grace or
wisdom.
It is the very reason some people are
not happy, because they thick others are

Public opinion is the strongest factor
in putting down any evil, and it is made
up of private opin on, openly expressed
aud heartily followed.
Be cheerful; do not brood over fond
hopes unrealized until a chain,link after

you to be the fountain-spring of cheer
fulness and social life, and not the

Horsemanship ofMexican Youngsters,
One of the finest and most inspiriting
sights of small-town life in Mexico is the
horsemanship of the biys from eight to
seventeen—perfect young Centaurs, as
much at home in the saddle as Arabs.
How they go thundering through the
streets, what marvelously short turns
they make, and how instantaneously
they come to a short stop in a headlong
gallop! These country towns of Mexico
are the nurseries, so to speak, of the na
tional cavalry, an arm of the service in
which Mexico excels. The finest sight
in the world, one on which the gods
must look down approvingly, is a high
spirited lad astride a good horse. A
Mexican boy takes to the back of a horse
as a Cape Cod boy does to a boat. At
no age is a rider bolder than in that en
chanted period of existence lying be
tween childhood and manhood.
A Mexican lad, in default of a saddle,
will enjoy himself hugely bareback. He
early learns to use the rope or riata, and,
beginning with lassoing dogs and pigs,
he advances to mules and cows, and
finally essays the roping of a lively bull.
So expert do they become that in war
they frequently drag their enemies from
their saddles by a skilful cast of the rope.
Some of my younger friends there seem
to me to live an horseback. They come
home at noontime to snatch a bite, as
most boys will, but off they are again
on their tireless horses. They have the
good fortune to live in a country which
enjoys a climate which makes out-of
door life possible all the year round, and
the country lad, continually on horse
back, grows up straight, robust, and
daring.— Boston Herald.
Tlie Horse Knew the Drill.
The following story is told by Fred
Grant: In his last year at West Point
he held the position of captain of artil
lery. One day the visiting officer, who
happened to be his father, General
Grant, held an inspection and drill.
After the cadets had assembled on the
parade ground it was decided to give the
commands by bugle call. The officers
wouldthen deliver them by wot d of mouth
to the men. Fred Grant had a notoriously
bad car for music. He had never been
able to master a single tune, and, worse
still, had no idea of time. When the
announcement of the mode of giving the
orders was made he rushed up to a com
rade and sa ; d:
“Great goodness! what shall I do? I
can't tell the difference between the
‘charge’ and the ‘retreat.’”
His friend advised him to change his
horse for Mazeppa, a horse of one of the
sergeants. She would carry him through.
He hastily did so, and watched every
moment of his animal during the ensuing
evolutions. When the bugle sounded
“forward,” the knowing animal ad
vanced ; and the compaaud was accord
ingly given to the men. When the call
»f "halt” came, Mazeppa stood like a
rock, and the proper order was issued
by the officer. In this way the horse, by
its ear for music, told its rider the or
ders for the day and carried him safely
through the complicated movements of
the drill.
Alaska Garnets.
It will be of interest to persons who
are fond of collecting mineral specimens
to learn says the Youth's Companion, that
garnets, of fine size and good color, are
found at Fort Wrangel, Alaska, and that
specimens can be obtained by mail from
that place at very moderate expense.
These Fort Wrangel garnets occur in
a tough, gray slate near the mouth of the
Stickecn River, ittew miles distant from
the Indian village at Wrangel postoffice.
They vary in size from a pea to a hen’s
egg, and with care, can be separated
from the slate matrix, in which they lie
like plums in a pudding, unbroken and
showing their peculiar polyhedral form
of crystalization quite perfect. Many of
these garnets display a very considerable
depth of a rich color, approaching the
ruby, and are hence of some value as
precious stones. In quantity they ap
pear to be inexhaustible At the village
store the writer procured half a dozen of
good si e, embedded in a fragment of
the slate in which they occur, along
with a dozen detached ones of medium
size, though not all quite perfect, for the
small sum cf sixty cents. *
Murders In Poland for Paltry Sums.
Crime appears now' to he very preva
lent in Poland. A young girl 17 years
old, made up her mind to go to Amer
ica, and started across the frontier with
two friends, peasants and neighbors,
who agreed to help her get out of Rus
sia. On the road they robbed her of
nil her clothes, with the assistance of
some other friendly peasants took from
her her little fortune of $75, which she
bad saved for her journey across the
ocean, and hanged her in sad plight to
a tree after cutting some veins in her
feet in order to make death more cer
tain. They then ran away. Luckily
the rope broke the girl lived, and lier
peasant friends are in jail awaiting to
be sentenced. . Numerous murders
have occurred simply for purposes of
robbery, in which the most wanton
cruelty has been displayed. An old
man butchered in a little village proved
to have but 75 cents, and the disgusted
murderer left upou his victim a card ori
which was written:
“I regret to say that this undertaking
has not realized my expectations.” —

First Principle} of Macadamizing.
Seventy-second street, in New York
city, is one of the smoothest pieces of
macadam in the United States. “A
good macadamized road,” says an old
contractor to a Tribune reporter, “is as
smooth as ashpaltand as durable ns Bel
gian pavement. We’ve continued to
the method of constructing such a road
ever since Mac Adam showed us the first
principles. You remember how ho used
to do ? It i 3 important that the stones
should be as nea*ly as. possible of one
size. Ho hi<%d men to break them with
hammers and made it a rule that no
stone should be used that could not go
into the mouth of the man that broke it,
One day his foreman discharged an Irish
man for refusing to break stone to a
proper size. The Irishman complained
to Mac Adam, w r ho, on investigation,
found that the man had conformed to
the regulations in every respect. The
trouble was with his mouth, which was
twice the ordinary size. We do the
breaking better in these days and don’t
use mouths for gauges.”
A Massive Dam for a Reservoir.
A largo dam has just been completed
by the Quincy Water Company in the
town of Braintree, Mass. It is thrown
across the valley of a small brook, and
forms a reservoir covering sixty acres of
land, and it is supplied by a watershed
having an estimated unnual capacity of
300,000,000 gallons of water. The dam
is 100 feet long, 35 feet high for a dis
tance of 250 feet across the deepest por
tion of the valley, 100 feet thick at the
bottom and 20 feet thick at the top.
From end to end of the dam, in the cen
tre, is a core wall. The wall is seven
feet thick at the bottom aud tapers to
two feet at the top, and rests on a mas
sive concrete foundation, built between
two lines of sheet piling. The water
slope of the dam is paved with stone to
an average depth of eighteen inch's.
The gate-house is a massive granite
structure, forty-nine feet high from the
top of the foundation to the top of the
coping-stone, and is twenty feet square
at the bottom and fourteen feet square
at the top. There is now twenty-nine
feet depth of water at the gate-house.—

Mother’s Bread.
To show how closely the loaf is allied
to home and comfort, we will relate a
story told by a lady of Asheville, N. C.,
soon after the civil War. She said: “We
were—all that wss left of us—seated
around the tea-table one evening. The
all was the little mother, the aged and
feeble grand parents and the young, w ho
were unable to carry a musket, ff’he tea
was w r arm, but had never known China;
the cattle had gone far afield—to the
commissary—there was no butter, and
little of anything else. A carefully
wrapped package was laid on a napkin
near the center of the table, and the lit
tle mother came in and, unfolding, dis
closed a loaf of white bread, such as we
had not seen for weary months. Hastily
and nervously she divided it. The little
ones clutched and ate their share quickly.
Wc, the older ones, touched, but could
not taste nor swallow’. There was a
lump in the throat, you know,” she said,
sobbing.
Why is it so many suffer from rheumatism,
aches, pains, kidney diseases,liver complaints,
heart affections, etc.? It is simply because
they will not come and be healed. All diseases
begin from a want of iron in tho blood. This
want of iron makes the blood thin, watery and
impure, impure blood carries weakness and
distress to every part of the body. Supply this

] raudulent schemes mil appear successful in
the start, but it don’t pay u the long run. A
remedy that has no real mq-it, will more than
eat up its profit in advertising, for people learn
it is not as represented, and those who give it
one trial, will never give it another, therefore
its proprietors’ only hope is to catch fresh
“suckers’ by extraordinary lying advertise
ments. There is. however, one remedy that
speaks for itself, and its best advertisement is the
use of one bottle, for a care bejins from the
very lir-t dose. It is called t. B. 13., or liotanic
Blood Balm, and can be obtaiqj through any
enterprising druggist. It has dvred more cases
of contagious blood diseases, atq with a less
quantity of medicine, than any oher known
remedy. It is not of Indian (?) orijjn, but the
famous prescription of an old Atlautai..y aician.
