THE ONLY WHITE BUFFALO. Seen and Chased by Indians and Hunters, but Never Caught. During the summer of 1875 bands of Indians returning from'" a hunt far out on the plains brought in stories of hav- ing seen at different times and in differ- ent places, and always in the center of a large herd, a white buffalo. They had used their best horses in the effort to overtake it to no purpose, never being able to get anywhere near the animal. t.t first we did not pay muoh attention to these stories, but still it kept crop- ping up from different camps, and at last, in the fall of 1875, I myself had a chance to verify the truth of the report. I had been sent on duty north along the Red Deer river and was camped near a large band of Blaokfeet, who were hunt- ing south of that river. The buffaloes had moved north in vast numbers, and the prairie vas black with them. I had gone out one morning with a party of Blackfeet to see one of their hunts, and also to try and kill for my- self. My horse was a good one and much faster than any belonging to the Iridian hunters. I had got detached from the party, becoming tired of the slaughter, and must have been at least 20 miles from camp, when I made for a small clump of timber not far off, intending to build a fire and roast a portion of some buffalo meat I had on the saddle with inc. As I approached the wood a band of about 100 animals burst out of the brush and made off to the south, and, yes, most certainly, in the middle of them was a white buffalo. Although they were a quarter of a mile away, there could be no mistake about it. He was there as large as life and quite white and running like a deer. There was no time to much more than take in the scene, but I gathered up the reins and was after him, determined to bag that buffalo or kill my horse. Oh, what a race it was, inile after mile! And, although all the band, with the exception of about a dozen, had split off and gone in different direc- tions, the white animal, with his body- guard of about a dozen kept at about the same distance ahead. I could catch a glimpse of him now and then, and there was no doubt he was snow white. Get within shot I could not for many miles. At last they began to tire, end, although my horse tired also, I had good hopes of coming up and getting a shot. Alas, for such a chancel Of a sudden, my horse lurched forward on his nose, sending me over his ]ieacl on to the prairie and turning a somersault himself, missing me by only a few feet. He bad put his foot into a badger hole d an'brought my hopes of a white .hole to a sudden end.—Forest and Stream. A Brazen Girl. Miss Highup-It's perfectly scandal Dns.

'Sive Children Perish --Other Persons Miss- ing—Three Thousand Iionieless--Loss is a Million and a ;;alt --A General Jail Delivery. Halifax, Oct. 17.—Disaster overtook the town of Windsor to -day. A fire started at 2 o'clock this horning, and at 9 seven -eighths of the town laid been wiped out. The direct financial loss is a million and a half dollars, with but half a million insurance. Two lives were lost • —11'liohaol Whalen and his wife,' an aged couple. Two children, a boy of twelve and a girl of nine, children of Walter Mosher, were badly burned, Two chil- dren of Jesse Smith's are missing, but will likely turn up all right, Several others were reported missing, but one of thorn, Miss Drillio,telephone operator, has already been found. William Cleve- land, telephone operator, was dangerous- ly hurt, and several others were more or less injured. Windsor is an historic town in the ]and of Evangeline, about 50 miles froin Halifax, and is famous as a seat of learning, containing a ladies' seminary and the King's College, one of the oldest Universities in America. -It was one of the wealthiest towns for its size in Canada, and contained about 4,000 inhabitants, 3,000 of whom are now homeless. A colored man named (leo, Pletcher kept a billiard room and barroom combined. Yesterday a paper was served upon him for selling liquor contrary to the provisions of the Scott act. Last night be celebrated the circum- stance by getting gloriously drum; and setting fire to his place Then he rushed out. The flames followed hila out of the door, and in less time than it takes to tell it the town was ablaze. A genuine hurricane from the northwest was blow- ing at the time, and the rapidity with which the fire spread was dumbfounding. Practically nothing was saved. A few people got seine of their possessions out of their houses, only to see th:m oon- sumed in the street. Many families, however, were glad to escape with their lives, and there were more than a few (lose calls. Nearly Everything Earned, During the seven hours that the fire raged every wholesale and retail store and every shop, in fact every place of business in the whole town, was swept out of existence with all they contained. Five out of the six hotels were burned, all three banks, the post -office and cus- toms house, the court house and jail (the prisoners being liberated by the jailor). The electric light station, telegraph and telephone buildings, every foundry, mill and factory, five of the sir churches, Methodist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic and Salvation Army, the Epis- copal only escaping; all the Public School buildings and 400 of the 500 or 000 residences and dwellings. In brief, all that remains of what was a beautiful and busy town are about 150 dwellings, a hotel, a church, the railway station and the University buildings, which are outside the town proper. The area burned over is about tl square mile. The fire took a peculiar course. the buildings left being small groups here and there, the flames destroying everything about them, yet leaving them unscathed. The fire burned to the water's edge on one side the banks of the river Avon, and a number of people who removed their possessions to boats on the river eventually lost them through burning cinders being carried thither. Powder and dynamite were used to blow up the buildings, in the hope of staying the progress of the destruction, but the efforts were 'fruitless. The fire swept everything before it The town has no steam fire engine, though there is an excellent water system, but the local fire- men could do but little, all their hose being destroyed in the streets while in use. - Help ,'Tro,n .Halifax. At 6 o'clock Halifax was telegraphed to for assistance, and at 7 a special train left with a section of the city's fire de- pertinent with three hose wagons and two steamers. They reached the scene an hour later and did good work in subdu- ing the conflagration. Another train went at 11 o'clock, and at 2 n special containing canvas tents for a thousand or more people and a couple of days' provisions for several thousands left This was accompanied by the Mayor of Halifax, the Lieut. -Governor of the Province, the ooinhnander of the British forces at this station and other dignitar- ies, and in addition 100 soldiers to guard the provisions and preserve order and 200 Royal Engineers to erect tents. o Is He an Allen ? Vancouver, B.C., Oct. 18.—A new phase of the United States Alien Labor law has just cropped up here. A boy arrived from Honolulu on the steamer Miowera, en route to Philadelphia, where he was apprenticed to a lithographing Erin at $3 per week wages. The Ameri can Consul hero has detained the boy, claiming that his entry into the United States will violate the law, and has sent to Washington for instructions. In view of the proposed annexation of Hawaii, this treatment of Hawaiian residents has caused some comment here. United States Immigration Agent Rice has received word from Washington to allow the boy from Honolulu, detained by him ander alleged violation of the alien labor law, to proceed to Philadel• phia. Colonel Benson Dead. Colborne, Oct. 18. °Colonel Benson, an English gentleman, disappeared from his boarding-house here on September 14. Search was made for him in the sur- rounding woods, but as nothing was discovered the excitement gradually sub- sided. Some children who were beech nutting in the woods noticed a peculiar odor, and, search being made, the body of Col. Benson was found on Saturday morning at ten o'clock by Mr: Ira .Ben- son in a marsh along the lake shore, about three miles from. the village. The body was badly ' decomposed. Deceased was sixty years of age, and eccentric. He had no intimate friends and no relatives in this country. Forgery Case Adjourned. Shelburne, Ont., Oct. 18.—By an -ar- rangement between the Crown and de- fence, the celebrated Hamilton • forgery case was adjourned till Saturday, the 23rd inst. Bail was given by each of the accused, John 'Hamilton, Adam Loudon, on, Robert Twibble, James Sammons, and Thomas Gallagher. The Crown has not intimated reasons for the adournlnent, John Lyle, the well-known Cauadian Express agent at Harrisburg, was found dead, lying face downwards on the floor of his house Wednesday night. Mr. Lyle had been unwellfor some time. He was able to be about, how- ever, and in the morning was walking upon the railway Station platform. Abou: 5 o'clock Mr. Lyle's housekeeper went out upon some errand, and re- turning. shortly after was horrified to find him lying_ upon the floor face downward. Medical aid was summon- ed, but he was quite dead, however, be- fore any assistance reached hien. De- ceased was about 00 years of age, and had been for a great many years in the employ of the Canadian Express Company. It Made No Difference.. There hacl been a little family jar and she was sulking. "You have no right to refuse me," she said. "When I promised to marry you, I told you that I always wanted my own way, and you said that made no difference." "Well, it doesn't, does it?" he retort- ed. "You don't get it, do yon?"

Two Agonizing Diseases. Quickly Banished By Paine's Celery Compound. Two Thankful Letters that Should be Read by Suffer- ing Men and Women. For the effectual banishment of rheu matism, sciatica and neuralgia, Paine's Celery Compound is without doubt the best medicine that human science has ever produced. This marvellous rem- edy, devised by Professor Edward Phelps. M. D., one of the ablest physic- ians that ever lived, has won the hearty praise of millions of people for the won- derous cures it has wrought in all lands. Itis only a medicine with such a record of cures that can attain a world-wide reputation. It has saved men, women and children,. many of whom had been given up by the doc- tors. It does its work quiekly and well; it eradicates every trace of the disease; it builds up, fortifies and makes active every mortal whose limbs have been crippled and deformed by rheumatism, and drives away the terrors of neuralgia. To day the ablest doctors are freely prescribing Paine's Celery Compound for tortured rheumatic and neuralgic people. The thankful letters received each year from the cured in every section of Canada would, if publised in book form, make a large and in- teresting volume. The following letters will surely in- spire all rheumatic and neuralgic suf- ferers with a new and lively hope of a better and happier life. Mrs. F. Mc- Mann, of Thorold, Out, says: "I think it my duty to let you know what Paine's Celery Compound has for my husband. For two years he suffer- ed very much with rheumatism in the back, and became so bad that he could not bend, stoop, or sit in a chair at table, and I was obliged to take his meals to him while he lay in bed. He was treated by various physicians, but received ho benefit uutil he used Paine's Celery Compound. The first bottle have him relief, and after he had used six bottles he was free from rheumatism. He was troubled with piles forfourteen years, and found great relief from the Compound. He says he feels like a new man just now. We think chore is no medicine like Paine's Celery Compound." Mrs. A, Acheson, of Montreal, says: " Two years ago I suffered intensely from neuralgia in the head, face and shoulders. I was in a terrible con- dition, and often so tortued that I could not rest or sleep. I became very weak. and feeble, had giddy and faint spells, and often could not attempt to go out on the street. My appetite became poor and digestion very weak. At night, when in bed, I often had oppres- sive and smothering feelings; my whole nervous system was run down and very weak. I had been under the care of a medical man and used various medi- cines, but no relief Came to me from these sources. I fortunately heard of your P'ine's Celery Compound; I de- cided to give it a trial, and, I bless the day I commenced with it. I used ,t for several months, and now feel as well as Ieyer did, All my pains have been vanished, IsleeP andeat well,l new roman: I n findmyself a t, t and , heartily reccommend Paine's Celery Compound to all who are in need of an Inmost and true curing medicine."
