RUGGLES. A BRAVE KAFIR LAD. Among savages, as among civilized people, there seems to be all grades of courage and cowardice. Mr Montague, in his "Tales of a Nomad," after re- counting some examples of "Kafir cau- tion," hastens to add that he has known Kafirs to do "exceedingly bold things." A Kafir lad of about sixteen years came to our camp,and begged egged to be allowed, :to,hunt for -us Iate-rather doth to accept his aid, but as he was al- most tearful in his anxiety to be allow- ed to carry a gun, I lent"him the only one left in the camp -a single barreled smooth -bone. He was delighted, and went away with a small boy for companion. He managed to kill a buffalo somehow just at sundown, and there being no time to skin it before dark, he encamp- ed beside the carcass. 'He lit a fire and lay down to sleep. During the night he was wakened by the boy pulling at his arm. On sitting up he saw by,the dim light of the fire, that two lions were feeding on the car- cass, which was within ten yards of the fire. He quietly made up the fire and com- pelled the boy, who was quaking with fear, to hold up a lighted torch that he could see the suis of his gun, and sit- ting down to take a steady shot, put a ball through the head of the male lion, killing him stone dead. The lioness, roared and sprang away, but seeing that her mate remained there, in about ten minutes she return- edo on which the young fellow shot her in a similar manner.

Ayer tti Co., Lovell, Mose, very Dose Effective SHORT STORIES RETOLD. Brave old General Jim Steadman, during the thickest of the battle at Chickamaugua, dashed up to a retreat- ing brigade and shouted: "Face about, boys ! We must hold this point 1" "But, general," said a-briive officer, "we have done' everything that brave and patriotic men can do for their country—" "What! Everything ?" cried Steadman, "You, haven't died yet!" A lady who' has .recently returned from a :Mediterranean trip says that, as the ship was leavingthe, harbor of Athens a well dresselady passenger approached the captain, who was pac- :mg the 'deck,' and, pointing to the dis- taritrhills covered with snow, asked: - "What is that white ;stuff on the hills, captain?" "That is snow, madam," answered the captain. "Now is it really?" remarked the lady; "I thought so, but a gentleman just told me it was Greece." Streletzki, the pianist, tells the fol- lowing story of Liszt: II remember once a Miss M—playing a sonata, by Sterndale Bennett, a work of a very prosy type, and certainly lacking in anything like .pppontaneity or poetry. Liszt was evidelitly not familiar with it, so, ' after playing some six or seven pages, he gently tapped Miss M— on the arm and said: "Mademoiselle, would you kindly name the piece you are performing?" "Certainly, sir," she replied; "it is the sonata The Maid of Orleans, by William Sterndala Ben- nett." "Wm, said Liszt: "it's a pity the original nlannscript didn't meet the samg.fate :ae the "Maid," For some tune atter her marriage with Napoleon, ' the Empress Marie Louise was extremely ignorant of the French language. On one, occasion, seeing her husband look vexed over a letter he had received from the Court of Austria, she enquiredof him what was the matter. "Oh, nothing," re- plied Napoleon, "your father is an old anache,' that is all. Marie Louise did not know that this was French for fool, and took the first opportunity of asking a courtier what it meant, saying that the Emperor had applied the ex- pression to ner father. "It means someone very learned and wise," stam- mered the unfortunate courtier. The empress was perfectly satisfied with this explanation, and pleased to learn a new word. A day or two after she received the Archchancellor Camba- ceres in a crowded salon. Some ques- tion was being warmly discussed in the circle, and her opinion was asked. Wishing to be very gracious, Marie Louise turned to Cambaceres and said: 'We will refer that point to the arch- bishop, for we all know he is the great- est 'ganache' in Paris."

It was on June 1, 1794, that Admiral Lord Howe, with the British fleet, of twenty-five ships of the line, engaged in a conclusive struggle with the French' fleet under Villoret-Joyeuse, a capable commander. The French squadron numbered twenty-six and was much superior to the British in guns and tonnage. Lord Howe had been prowling the waters outside of Brest for two weeks, waiting for the enemy to put into open water, and at last they met. For several days the fighting continued, and several vessels were destroyed, leaving the opposing forces as above described on the morn- ing of June 1, one hundred years ago. That morning Lord Howe drew away and fell intat, inaction, sounding all over the fleet the call to breakfast. Captain Trowbridge was a prisoner on one of the French vessels, the Sans Pariel, and its commander, Captain Courand, noticing this action of the British, said sneeringly to the English prisoner: "Your Admiral is in no hurry to fight; he evidently does not intend it." "Not fight 1" retorted Trowbridge, smacking the Frenchman on the shoul- der. "Stop till they have had their breakfast. I know John Bull well, and when his belly is full you will get it." And get it they did. The French fleet was utterly demoralized, such vessels as were not sunk or captured escaping in very bad order. The residents of Staten Island, during its occupancy by the British in Revolu- tionary times, were prohibited from keeping fire -arms of any description in their houses. A few of them, never- theless, succeeded in concealing guns, and among these was a young man named Housman. One morning, after the fall of a light snow, the young man was out with his gun in quest of rab- bits, when a sudden turn in the path brought him in sight of two soldiers. The two parties saw each other simul- taneously, and each stopped. Hous- man thought of the loss of his gun, and ' possibly of his Life; but the sense of clanger was hut a stimulus to his cool- ness and daring. He suddenly turned his back on the soldiers, and, stepping around the turn, waved his hand as if beckoning to some one. "Hurry up 1" he shouted; "here are two Britishers. Three of you go round to the right three to the left, and the rest follow me. Hurry up, before they runawayl" The Britishers hearing these_ words, and fearing there might be a small army about to surround them, turned and fled. They even threw down their arms to facilitate their flight, What report they made when they reached their quarters is not known, but a de- tachment was at once sent out to cap - Children Cry for .Pitcher's Castoria. 77.77.7.7. i T E CLI ATTON ov*.

While' Thomas Campbell was prose- cuting his studies at the University of Glasgow, he occupied apartments with an elder brother, who, though no poet himself, was a most admirable critic, but a severe one. Mr Campbell had gone down to the breakfast room one morning, leavin the poet to follow at his leisure. He had nearly finished breakfast when his brother entered with a copy of verses in his hand,which he laid on the table as an excuse for his delay, at the same time requesting Mr Campbell's opinion of their merit. "Your lines are admirable, Tom, my boy," said the elder Campbell, after calmly perusing the verses, "but they appear to me to want fire," and the merciless critic committed the paper to the flames, The poet barely suc- ceeded in rescuing his effusion; but atter a little reflection he threw it into the fire for a second time, acknowledg- ing the justice of bis brother's criticism.

A strange dream so disturbed Mrs Samuel Buffing, of East Greenfield, Ohio, that she awoke with a start. She imagined that she had- beendrown- ng cats rn a well and there piteous wails aroused her.

What may result in a serious acci- dent occurred Thursday evening at the James Hay Manufacturing Company's works. A young man named John Smith was engaged running a piece of machinery, when the handle that reg- ulated the saw struck him a severe blow in the pit of the stomach. It is not known whether he sustained in- ternal injuries o not. '0,-.'-i -.. Auld, '181:' Rays of Light, Sometimes in the evening, some little ' time before and during twilight, and also sometiaieu - thlagh rarer - before .ug sunrise, a close observe. may detect peculiar fan-like streaks of darker and lighter shading across. the i sky. These etreaks, of which the plain- er ones may number from four to six, together form a triangle with its base on the horizon and extending out at varyiug altitudes, This appearance still holds a rank as an unexplained phenomenon in nature. It occurs only' occasionally. There may 1,0 a bite illustration on a given evening, and while there may be a week of clear sunsetseucceeding, not a trace of the streaks will be visible. From this it would seem that a parti- cular atmospheric condition must be one of the factors in its pruductiou. The assumption would be supported by numerous analogies not necessary to enumerate. In the proper atmosphere, thea, let it be assumed that the streaks are due to alternate lines of shade and ligut. Now, let something, to some extent, obstruct the rays of the sun which bee set, either an impedi. went in the distant landscape or an uu- aeeu cloud, the combination at the pro- per angle with the observer's Vision, and it is probable that lie may .appro+,ch a solution of the long-standing puzzle. The fan-like appearance is such for the eatue reason that the hues iu a brick ev ell leading away from the observer seem to focalize to a center, as do also railway tracks, Seemingly conte together in - tete distance. These zodiacal linea are undoubtedly parallels, as are lines of cloud streaks that to our vision ahem to point to a common starting point.
