In June, 1878, three ruffians, one of whom was a half-breed Indian, rode up to the pioneer cabin of Henry Clark, situated near the state line between Kansas and Ne- braska, due north of Smith Center, and on the bask of the Republican river, It was about 10 o'clock in the forenoon, and Clark was in Marysville, Kan., on business, leav- ing his wife, who was a robust woman of 25, alone on the place. Hospitality is the rule in the west, and when the meri asked for breakfast she could not well refuse, al- though she made up her mind at first glance that they were bad men. They said that they were looking for stock, and seemed to be posted as to Clark's absence. All were heavily armed and rode good horses. While Mrs. Clark was very much frightened and annoyed at their presence, she made a pre- tence of being cool and brave, and this pro- bably put the climax off for some time. She prepared a good brea,kfast, and the men sat down to eat, but it was easy to see that they were not hungry. They only made a pre- tence of eating, and when they got up tWO of them seized her and rushed her out doors, and the third, who had already mounted, received her on his saddle. Itt speaking of this act, Mrs. Clark explains : "1 had been expecting just such a move, and was in a measure prepared for it. I knew they meant me evil, and I was glad when I saw they were to take me away. We had no neighbor nearer than three miles, and I felt that only in being taken away from the house was there any chance of rescue from their clutches. Men were constantly riding about the country looking for land and stray stock, and I had strong hopes of meeting some party before we had gene far. Therefore when they seized me I made but little resistance, and, apparently to their great surprise, I did not scream nor faint." The men rode off at a gallop up the river skirting the edges of the timber, and in about three-quarters of an hour reached a cabin which had been abandoned early in spring by a family named Miller. The sat - tier's wife had died, and he had removed to Red Cloud. The cebin was a small and snug affair, having a heavy door with a bar to it, and two windows provided with almost bullet-proof inside shutters. The men rode straight to the cabin and, dismounted, Mrs. Clark being assisted off the saddle before the man who rode the horse with her got down. As she struck the ground she grab- bed for the butt of a revolver which stuck out of the holster of the man who helped her down, and what happened in the next two or three minutes she relates herself : AGI and shot the man in the leg before he had &mil() cents postage taken his bands off me.

Two or three years of pioneer life give a woman courage and confidence, and I knew I had disabled one of the men and had five bullets left for the other two." The wounded man received the bullet in the left leg just at the knee, and made a serious matter of it, He fell to the ground and cursed and groaned in a terrible way, and vowed that tee woman should be burned alive at the stake to pay for his injury. His companions were at first inclined to ridicule him and to admire the pluck of the woman, but when they realized that he would proba- bly lose his limb, and that the trio had a peck of trouble on band, their anger became frightful. They made a rush for the door, evidently expecting to easily lay hands on the woman and drag her out, but they found it barred. When they turned to the win. dows they found them also well secured. It became plain to them that she meant deter. mined resistance, and they gave up their ef- forts and retired to consult. From what Mrs. Clarke overheard she was convinced that the two men wanted to help the wound- ed one off and leave at once, but he obsti- nately refused to move an Moll until he had been revenged on the woman. He called their attention to the fact that it was a lone- ly neighborhood, not likely to be visited by any strangers before eight, and that they should batter in the door and secure their victim. When they referred to his wound as evidence of her bravery, he fiercely shout- ed : D --n her, it was an accidental shot. She's got my revolver, hut the won't dare 1 fire it to save her life. Get a log mid bust in that door." The men hunted a,bout until they found a large limb which had been trimmed up, and they seized this and made a rush for the door. The woman knew just what they were preparing for, and she softly unbolted one ot the blinds and swung it back until she could see them. One of the panes of glass was gone, and ehe rested the revolver in this opening, took deliberate aim at the man nearest her, and when she pulled the trigger he fell &nen and expired with scarcely a kick, having been shot through the heart, The other immediately ran away, but took a circuit end came baek to the wotaided man. Then the cursing, raving, anti etorm, ing was renewed, and the wounded man propped himself up atisi emptied the (ontents of hie Winchester and his revolver into the door and window blind. Mrs. Clark had warning arid she eat down On the floor in a corner. Some of the bullete fell inaide, but she was in a safe place, 'When the wounded outlaw had exhausted bis ammunition he called Upon his companion to beat the door in with a rock lying nearby, and, threetened him with death if he did not. Mrs, Clark Wasieolthig out of the window and she says : "The roan:was thoroughly afraid of me, aaa:a thea Of WEI friend and he refused to obey, 1 sayIng there had been nonsepee enough ansi he would now 'help thc Qttuir away.

Tire three latter pursued the fugitive for miles, securing two of the horses and ex. - changing several shots, but he finally got safely away. DETACRED THOITGETS, oy Signor nix. The poiutof a joke is sometimes bl unted by contact:with thick skulls. Ohl youth, thou loveet greatly, belierest utterly aud knowest darkly. I used to be troubled with doubt whether the man of absolute content was fool or phil- osopher, but that was before I learned that absolute content is only another name for the normal stomach. The coming of death in a entail community ia an event of momentous import, iu whioh every survivor is profoundly concerned. That is one of the beauties of pastoral life, ad its highest value, I think. Whether man sits luxuriously batik in his easy chair, or pauses with uplifted pickaxe in the act of picking out a blue clay living, he thinks. There is blooded thought and there is "plug" thought. There was Bum- phalus and there was Rosinante. It is fitting to make the chapter of youth in the Book of Life a poem. The dull unexpressiveness of common plaraeo may serve the historian and the buyer of hogs, but he who would write the Epic of Youth must plume his wings for lofty flight. The most delightful poser I know is the beautiful young woman who has a pleasant suspicion of her beauty, but who loves life for its joys; who is at youth's period of careless irresponsibility, and who regards with squealing admiration everything that belongs to the category of good clothes.

Sometimes, course, they wished for things which would be of benefit to themselves and others, but generally they wiehed foolishly. One day, they were looking out of the window watehiog the fleecy clouds roll across the blue sky. Presently they saw a flock of birds fly by, " Oh I" said Lottie, I wish I were a bird,' do I," answered her sister. "What kind of a bird would you like to be ?" "1• should like to have a yellow body, green wings, pink feet, red beak am:thine tail." "Oh 1" said Cottie "1 should like the same as you, only, I lied rather have a blue beak and red tail, ' "How splendid it would be 1" exclaimed Lottie. Now it happened that a good fairy lived near these little girls, and, as she took an interest in all children, and espeoially in good ones, she often used to observe how .Lottie and Cottle acted. She did not know much, however, of that very bad habit of theirs—wishing. Now, she determined to grant them each a wish, but, as she could not go herself to ,give it, she sent her waiting maid, Rose -bud -bloom- ing. Now Rose -bud -blooming, being a rather lazy young fairy, delayed somewhat on the wey fo the house of our children. Ah ! Rose -bud -blooming, why did you not arrive a little sooner, and when Lottie was wishing to be happy, clever and rich, grant her those wishes? But Miss Rose -bud - blooming flew into the room just after that desire had been uttered, and sat her lazy little self clown upon a cushion and waited for the utterance of the next wish. It was that one regarding the birds, and the young fairy flew towards the little girls, touched them on their heads with her wand, and flew away again. The nexe moment two little girls felt themselves grow smaller and smaller and smaller, and then their arms grew into wings, and they found themselves turned into two little birds, one with a blue beak and red tail and the other with a red beak and blue tail. $14tVery in 13;441. razil. bats tbe unenYieble diegtretion being the only.

These slaves were brought over in great numbers without opposition, until Portugal acknowledged thi e ndependence of Brazil in 1825, Then, to the lasting honor of the new State, one of the first acts of its ruler was to sign a treaty with England for the suppression of the slave trade, The Government, however, had not the means to carry the treaty into effeet, and the importation of blacks accorcEngly con- tinued, notwithstanding the urgent and of t - repeated protests of England, aud the eft'orts of her cruisers. The disgrace to his country from this persistent violation of the treaty was keenly felt by Dom Pedro II., when Inc began to reign. But the remonstrances of the boy Emperor —he was only a lad of fifteen at this time— had little effect, The slave trade continued to flourish for more than ten years longer, when the extreme vigilanee of the English men-of-war, who pursued slavers into Bra- zilian harbors, and cut them out from under the guns of their forts, together with the outbreak of the yellow fever, attriouted by the terrified people to a freshly landed cargo of slaves, at last put an end to the traffic. By one of the provisions of the treaty, all negroes brought over after a certain year were to be free, and the English Minister at Rio de Jeneiro was now instructed to de- mand the release of those who were illegal- ly held in bondege. All his efforts were iu vain, although the Emperor again exerted his influence on the side of right and hu- nomity. Still, they were not wholly without effect, since the aaitation of this question aroused an opposition to, slavery in Brazil, which was greatly strengthened by various circumstances, The chief of these circumstances were the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln'and the necessities of the Para- guayan War, which led to the freeing of all slaves who joined the army. At this time, the Emperor gave his personal slaves their liberty, and many of his subjects followed his example. These acts awakened the wildest hopes in tne slaves, and to every remotest plantation the glad tidings of coming freedom penetrat- ed.

They won't know it's us," ", but natural that this should be their course. Ohdear me 1" Instead of that what is to be seen? Of course there is the standard Irish band, with its party tunes, processions and bravadoes, the old "Walls of Derry" and all the rest of it. Why should Canada be cursed with all that tomfoolery? Why should she have faction fights and foolish suspicions? and then why should all the other nationalities follow suit ? Ir is all very well to.get it so- cieties for the sake of charity hut the mischief is that the whole tendency of these national societies is to keep up differences and to pre- vent the people of the country becoming homogeneous and united. Whyshould lit- tle apes of young Canadians Inc rigged out in ridiculous toggery with Orange or Green favors to make them think of and remeinber wrongs and feuds with which they have nothing whatever to do, and which does not come within thousands of miles of their interests or their homes? Why should those who have left Ireland forever keep on botherine. themselves and all about them with Irish wrongs and Irish quarrels? Let them mind their own business and leave other people to mind theirs. If they are so zealous about Ireland and Ireland's interests why did they not stay there and fight it out on the spot? The fact is thare seem to be all ns tionalities in Canada except Canadians. If we wi// meddle with Irish or Scotch or English affairs why not do so as judges not as partizans? This everlasting babble about the "Old Country" and its ways and woes, its glories and its greatness, gets tiresome. It if: bad enough when it is half in joke'but it becomes utterly intolerable when it is really in earnest. If Canadians want to be respected by others it is about time they were themselves cultivating a little self- respect. They are so awfully "freeli" and provincial. They take it so much as a that they t be ready to do as they are bidden ' and must take the law about all things from the old land that no wonder they should be at once patronized and despised. If one or two of their number are made knights they are as much tickled and delighted as any little boy over a dozen glass "allies." Raw? Yes it is to be feared the great mass of Canadians: are still " raw " They dearly love to be patronized and encourage(' by "an Englishnran." Perhaps all thie is neceesar • ily connected with being " Colonists." If so the more's the pity. It is about time, in short, that Canadians were beginning to think for themselves.

At length, in 1871, the long -looked -for emancipation bill was passed; but bitter was the disappointment of the slaves and their friends to find that it only declared that the children of slaves born after this time should be free at twenty-one, and es- tablished a fund for the mud:Lase of the free- dom of slaves. Accordingly agitation was begun for a more radical measure, especially in the northern provinces, where the slaves are comparatively few in number, with such success that by 1883 emancipation had be- come the one absorbing national issue. Both parties were agreed in their desire to put an end to it, but were divided as to the means by which this should be brought about.

Sign -Language of Eastern Traders. In the customary open-air markets of Eastern countries—especially in those de- voted to transactions in hides, leather, wool, grain, and frnit—it is no uncommon thing to see a couple of sedate -looking traders seated on the ground, each with his right hand concealed in his neighbour's capacious sleeve, and engaged to all appearance in squeezing each other's fingers. For a few minutes they will remain in this position, one'hudging the other occasionally, but with- out exchanging a word; and then, rising, they will separate end go their way. Some times the performance is varied a little. A couple of merchants will stead in the middle of a brawling and gesticulating crowd by which they are surrounded and observed; one will raise the end of his long rope or un- roll the muslin veiling his turban, and under cover of this the pair will begin to clasp hands and fingers as before. The spectacle is extremely funny xi the Western traveller who does not understand what is going on ; but, in point of fact, Inc trades are simply engagedinwhat they call "fixing the price," or bargaining, by means of a code of manual signs almost universally used by Elstern merchants:, who are compelled to do much of their bosiness in the open air, surround- ed by people who are quite as curious about every affair in progress as' the principals themselves, What Edith Thought of It.

As soon as the elections were over, the Emperor called together both houses for the purpose of acting on this matter. Another emancipntion bill was introduced and, after some debate, passed, becoming a law Sep- tember 28, 1885. By its principal provisions all slaves over sixty-five years are unconditionally freed; the emancipation fund is largely increased; and a valuation of Claves according to ages is made, these values to diminish annually six per cent. The advocates of this measure assert that, by its action, slavery will cease in Brazil in 1892. Other careful observers, however, are not so hopeful, though none doubt the fin- al triumph of freedom. It is certain to be ar- dently desired that the day, when it does come, may find still on the throne the en- lightened ruler who, when a boy, struck the the first blow which loosened the shackles of his subjects. Prices in the Old Days. H Gedney, of White Plains, N. Y., who was born in 1801, tells what farmers had to pay for farming utensils before ,the war of 1812 and what they were paid for their pro- duce. He said: "Wheat in 1812 brought seventy-five ; cents a bushel. Now it is ninety cents, lower tha,n it has been since 1812. Beef brought $5 a hundred ; now it brings $10. Pork brought $3.50 to $4 a hundred; now it is worth $7. Butter was worth ten cents a pound, now it is worth fifteen cents. Cheese was worth six cents. Ordinary dress muslin used to cost three shillings and sixpence a yard—eighty-seven cents—now it costs ten :cents. Calico cost fifty and seventy-five cents a yard. Pins cost three shillings ana sixpence apa,per— eighty-seven cents—now they cost six cents. For an English spade we used to send three bushels of wheat to market, which brought $2. We can get a better one now for fif ty cents. A scythe cost $2, now a better one can be had for fifty cents. Nails were twenty-five cents a pound, they cost only eight cents. A cradling scythe used to cost $3,50. Wages were then fifty cents a day, or $10 a month for eights months, Now we pay $15 and $20 a menth." Query.
