& 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 York Sun. Ho Suved the Czar. “Brock” McYickar, one of the charac ters of Chicafcfco ust dead, once savc J d the life of Alexander, the late Czar ot Russia. “Brock” was in Paris, and on the grand fete day was in the street gmong the throngs of people watching Czar and his magnificent retinue as passed otf|eir way to the Tuil eirc Maidenly an anarchist or nihilist in th'i’rowd pulled a gun, and poking the muzzle under the arm of a man in front oi him, blazed away at the Czar. “Brock” McYickar was the man in front of the would-be assassin. He turned and grabbed him, and, despite his desperate struggles to get away and lose his identity in the crowd, hung on until the officers arrived and hurried the man to prison. The Czar inquired who had stopped the murderous nihilist. He was told that the individual was “Brock” Me- Vickar, of Chicago. He sent for him, and “Brock” brushed up a little and went. The Czar thanked “Brock” foi the service he had rendered and deco rated him with various orders as a re ward.— Ntto York Herald. 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.’' axints of Great Warriors. . rieon laid it down as a special ruf Aat professional study in some form is tue first condition of practical success.

WISE WORDS. Guard against quarrelsomeness. Home is the dearest place on earth. A guilty conscience makes cowards of us all. Willfulness is no mark of grace or wisdom. It is the very reason some people are not happy, because they thick others are happier. No person need make a great effort in the affectation of manners, it i 3 notice able enough. It is a good thing to possess confidence in others, but much safer to depend upon yourself. One oi the causes that leads us to mis fortune is that we live according to the example of others. Everybody is hacking and hewing each other, trying to make a man Jaotter than he was born. Your goodness must have some edge to it, else it is none. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. 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 link, is fastened on each thought and wound about the heart. Nature intended you to be the fountain-spring of cheer fulness and social life, and not the traveling monument of despair and melancholy. As it is the manly inau who wins and satisfies a good woman, so it is the womanly wernan who pleases and re tains the desirable man. She need not be soft or silly, or weak or nervous —she maybe strong, vigorous, resolu - - and brave; but, whatever she is, she must be womanly in order to pleas . He who amasses wealth, not as an equitable return for value given, but by underhand dealing or oppression of the Eoor, or gambling on a high or low scale, as been engaged in no honorabfe com petition. He who climbs into power, not by proving himself the fittest man to wield it, but by pushing others down and crowding them out, desecrates the name of emulation. 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.” — New York Sun. % 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.— N. Y, Tribune. 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.
