young lady and a friend of hers joined in
ono of these round ups. The were the
only ladies in the run, and were in charge
of the boys of our ranch. No more respect
could be shown to them if they had been

One came out with seven gray wolf scalps
and six coyotes, and the other four gray and
ten coyotes and a polecat. There is a
bounty on wolf scalps -25 cents for coyotes
and 75 cents or $1 for grays—so the girls
did pretty well.
"Who were the girls ? Well, I wouldn't
like to give their names. They are daugh-
ters of wealthy Cleveland gentlemen, prom-
inent merchants, and they might object.
You see, people of the North know little of

are a lot of low -lived fellows, always ready
to shoot and ecalp somebody, whereas they
are a gentlemanly class of boys. Many of
them are just trom college. The study

Railway Ps sses.
President Cleveland always insists upon
paying his way when he travels either by
land or sea. He could get any amount of free
pastes if he pleased. indeed such "eourtes-
es" are being continually pressed on him by
those engaged in the railroad business but
he steadily puts the offers from him as de-
vices of the wicked one. He knows that
however such "courtesies" may be disguised
they are one and. all of them of the nature
of bribes intended to shut mouths or to open
them only in puffery and false praise. No
man who takes railway passes can hence-
forth be a disinterested and honest protectcr
of the public interest. He may say what
he pleases, but he has been bought and
bribed. A member of Parliament gets a
pass either regularly or occasionally. Can
he henceforth speak his mind about the
management of those railroads? Of course
he cannot. A public man is "honored" by
having the " Directors' car" put at his dis-
posal. Is he henceforth a free man? Of
course not A clergymen gets a ye.a.r-
ly or a perpetual ticket, what then? Why
then he dons the railway's livery and
cannot help feeling prejudiced in its
favor. . He may think that he is still inde-
pendent and that if necessary he would
speak out in condemnation. He thinks, so,
but would he? He may not praise against
his conscience, but his conscience and judg-
ment are alike debauched aril he cannot
see or understand. He has received his
gift and as in former days with others he,
fends his eyes blinded.

Carew./ it is said, was a man of great
ablity and of winning manners; hence,
when he came in contact with men of his
own class, they aoknowledged him as still
their equal. His cousin, Lord &ten, once
laid a wager with him that he could not
deceive him as a beggar. Carew approach-
ed him an hour later as a decrepit old sol-
dier, and received a Foam].; and the next
day, as a widow with a babe in her arms,
induced him to give him three guineas,
Ile undertook a voyage to America "to
see what could be made out ot the Quakers,
and made a begging tour among the P ari tans
of New England, the Dutch in New York
and the Cavaliers in Virginia.
He travelled thousands of mileon foot,
actually begging from the sevugos as he
went. He returned triumphing in his petty
gains, strings of wampum and furs.
All this time, a manor -house and settled
income waited his acceptance.
Carew was neither deunken nor vicious.
He was possessed by a spirit of adventure,
which made the tame, decorous life of an
English squire intolerable to him.
Many boys, between the ages of twelve
and twenty, show the same spirit of unrest,
which, being arbitrarily curbed, leads to the
failure and ruin of their lives.
A wise engineer does not put a weight on
the safety valve of a boiler under high
steam pressure; he directs and US 34 the
steam so that, instead of being a messenger
of death, it becomes man's most helpful
servant.
At the present time there are countless
outlets for the energy al d superfluous f re
of a young man, which were unkaown to
the age in which Carew lived. A man need
not now join the gypsies, or take to beggar v,
or go among India,ns and desperadoes, to
gratify his love of novelty aud adventure.
All quarters of the globe are brought near
to him in his closet; while the life of a
scientific man, a journalist, an artist, a
rancher, or an engineer is tilled with incident
and is provocative of new ideas. Carew's
career becomes dull, as well as mean, beside
them.
Leaping From the Clouds.
There is little merit in that kind of cour-
age that prompts a man to risk his life for
the purpose of securing notoriety or a little
money. At Quincy, Ill., Thomas Baldwin
leaped from a balloon when it had reached
the height of nearly a mile, and descended
safely by means of a parachute. Twenty
thousand people assembled to witness the
feat, which had been widely advertised.
Baldwin's first purpose was to have the
balloon anchored by a rope, but it swayed
too much, and he cut the rope, and let the
balloon float upward. It mounted into the
air, and became, to the view of those below,
no larger than a Mit/VB hand. No one
thought the man would dare jump from such
a height, but suddenly a tiny speck, descend-
ing from the balloon, told that he had leap-
ed.
He fell like a shot, until the parachute
caught the air, and inflated; then his descent
was gradual. Swift teams followed him, and
soon reappeared with him, and the crowd
shouted itself leoaree. He had fallen easily
and without any hurt. The balloon came
down safely at Perry Springs, fifty miles
away from Quincy.
Baldwin's experience in this renste-kable
feat was related to a reporter, soon after he
reached the earth.
"1 felt no fear," said he, "and knew
just what would happen and how it would
happen. When the badloon was at the pro-
per height, as I thought, I looked below
and saw I was higher than I had calculated
to be, and I quickly arranged the parachute.
I intended to open the balloon -valve, but re-
membering my advertising matter I thre v
it out, and in a few seconds 1 swung from
the balloon, grasping the parachute, and
dropped.
"1 went down like a flash, and as the bal-
loon leaped upward, I looked at it and said
aloud, Good -by, City of Quiney.' I thiek I
went down at the rate of twenty miles an
hour for a time.
"When the paraeshute filled, it jerked me
so hard I thought my arms 'were broken. I
never lost perfect consciousness. When
near the m ound, the parachute swung from
• side to side, and when I struck, it carried
me over with such force, that I turned a
summersault. I was not hurt, and at once
gathered up the parachute, and got out cf
the field where I fell. I was about forty-five
hundred feet above the earth when I left
the balloon.

Arlea, lute long beme little more than a
suzerainty of Uganda's sovereign. Rut now
the army of luvincible Uganda has been
beaten by Kebba Sega, who, Sir Samuel
Baker sats, was despised by Altesa, ite'
father of Mwanga, as a person worthy only
of oontempt. There seems to be much trut
in the seying that it is the unexpected that
Deewys. happens in Africe,
The " wonderful fertile country of Un.
yoro," as, Baker calls it, lies east of Albert
Nyanza, and a wide strip of it extending
ear southwest touches the northern coast
of Muta Nzige. It was through this corner
of Unyoro that Stanley passed when he
diacovered the still almost unknown Lake
Mute Nzige, and it is this region sail the
district north of it between Mute Nzige
and Albert .Nyarize that was devastated
by lest spring's bloody contest. It is not
likely 'that the war interfered with Stan-
ley's progress, for it was carried on in re-
gions that lie south and east of his line
of march, •
We•r between two suoh native empires
as Uganda aud Unyoro is no petty quarrel,
but is always sure to cost heavily in hu -
men life and treasure. Both countries
have well-organizecl Governments and dia.
ciplined armies, and huuslreds of their
soldiers are erased with muskets. Uganda's
army of 125,000 men, and the machinery
by which the King's will is promptly car-
ried into effect in all parts of his dominions,
have often been described' but leas has been
heard of Kebba-Raga's country, which has
been ruled for fifteen generations by the
ancestors of the present sovereign. 13n -
is divided lute many districts, each
of whieh is governed by a chief who is
held strictly responsible to the King for
the state of his province. It was Kabba.-
Rega who said to Baker when the latter was
:
was urging him to open his country to
commerce
" Oh, bother trade !Don't talk
of merchandise, but let us talk of guns and
gunpowder. When you have helped me defeat
altesa, who invades our lands and carries
off our herds and women and children, it
will be time enough to talk of trade." It
was never Kabba-Rega.'s good fortune to
triumph over Mtesa in war, but he has now
gained at least a temporary triumph over
the son of the great King whom Speke dis-
covered.
The world will not be sorry that the
butcher of Uganda has received a severe
drubbing at the hands of Ke.bba-Rega, ,for
while Mwanga has shown himeelf to be the ,
enemy of the white races, Kabba-Reaa liar
recently done many a good turn to t'Emin
Pasha and his beleagnesed comrades. " 1
have nothing but hearty. praises for liabba-
Rega," wrote Dr. Emenslast year. " He
invited me and my comrades to take re-
fuge in his town, and when my soldiers
needed cloth he twice sent me a considerable
supply." One cause of the recent hostilities
between Uganda a,nd Unyoro was the fact
that Mwanga was greatly incensed because
Kabba-Rega had befriended the white pris-
oners of the Sondem. The past seventeen
years seem to have greatly improved the
character of this ruler, for the young Ring,
20 years old, whom Baker described ak ,
incorrigible rascal, a great dandy, a terrible
coward, and a shameless murderer is the
same person whose praises Emin Pasha
has been sounding and who has just de-
feated his greatest enemy, Mwanga, King
of Uganda.

eign missions to the Christian Leadrr as fol-
lows :—" The offer which I make toward
raising a permanent fund of $500,000 for for-
eign miesions was meant also to include
home missions. This large sum ca.n soon be
raised in the manner indicated if one will
not foolishly wait for another, and thus
prove that ' shat is everybody a business is

STATISTICS.
The quantity of milk required to supply
London within a. radius of 15 miles from
Charing Cross is, according to the estimate
of Professor Sheldon, about 1,250,000 quarts
per day, which at 5d. per quart, is worth
£26,000. The value of the butter amounts
to something like 245,000 per day, or £16,-
000,000 per annum.
The world's loan issues of all kinds during
the years 1871-85 inclusive amounted to
£40,l 83,800,000. Of these, somewhat over
a half were loans raised by states, and
somewhat less than a •hall were capitals or
loans raised by establishments of credit and
industrial societies. By far the largest
amount was raised by Americe, Its issues
of all kinds amounted to £3,349,520,000.
Next comes France, with something more
than a quarter of Anierica. Its total issues
of all kinds amounted to £1,07,300,000.
Russia comes next to France, with £120,
000,000 of issues of all kinds ; then Germany,
and then Spain.
The tonnage of fish received in London
during 1886 was as follows: At Billingsgate
Market, 149,010 tons • Shadwell, 17,186
tone; and ,Columbia, 2,58—total, 168,351.
The quantity seized as unfit for food during
the year was—wet fish, 795 tons, and shell-
fish, 305 tons, thus givieg the percentage of .
fish condemned against fish delivered as 0 65
per cent. As much as 58 per cent. of the
weight of fish condemned was composed of
shell -fish, whose then in most cases contri-
buted very largely towards the weight in •
questio The condemned fish also includ-
ed. 137 n. of foreign herriegs and 75 tons
of immtonsh, useless to the trade. Very
little of the best kind offish was seized, the
weigbt ot soles and turbots condemned not
amounting to two tons for the whole year.

The Georgia Legislature cannot agree as
to the way in which anything like friendly
inSeecourse between the coloured and wh te
raaes can be prevented. The one branch
proposes one thing and the other something
-"different. The Senate would discourage all
cneducation of the races by making it
impossible for any pupil thus taught ever
b coming a teacher of any of the public
s :Imola of the State. Thia, one might
think, was bad enough, but the Lower
Iffoase, under the leadership of the foolish
fellow celled Glenn, will be satisfied wilh
nothing but sending both pupils and teach-
ers of !such institutions to work in chain
gange on the public roads, And so it is
