| Pj From the Atlantic Constitution.
IE This strnngo story comes from
IE Liuvreneeville. A few dnys ago a
m Georgian died in Hot Springs , Ar-
M kansas. Ho 1iad been for some
h years a trusted and honored citizen
g ! | * of that place , no had married
| | i tliere , and become rich , holding vnri-
W ous pobitions of honor and trust ,
Hi * and enjoyed the confidence and ca
ll teem of all who knew him. Yet that
Hi man was living in a shadow of a
I crime was an outlaw from the state
Fj of his birth. It was Charles Clinton
Ambrose. The mention of his name
L will recall to the older citizens of
In Georgia , and especially of Gwinnett
t- % county , the particulars of a sensn-
J tional tragedy' . It was in the winter
r * ! of 'Gl ' 05 that Bill Orr , a prosper-
| | : . ous farmer near Lawarenceville , was
ifa shot and killed by Charles Ambrose.
r * * > Both stood high in the community
' ? and the killing aroused a strong feel-
t ing. The cause of the killing was
| t > understood to be an insult offered
'i \ by Orr to Ambrose's sister and this ,
I i of courho , tended to counter-
' I balance the fact that the shooting
' ,1 1 was in cold blood. Orr had been
\ I shot down in the streets of Lawrence-
\ I vill < in broad daylight. The weapon
I' I was a gun heavily loaded Avith buck-
\ I shot , found subsequently just Avhere
J it had been lired , and leaningagainst
I the tree. Ambrose , then a young
man of 18 or 120 , immediately fled
the state , The story goes that the
young man went , immediately after
the shooting , to a friend , and hurried-
I ly explained to him what had been
I done.
I I "I need money , " he said , "and I
I I have no time to go back home after
I J it. Will you let me have money now
l1 and risk the chances ? "
I A minute later the young man ,
I already' mounted on a ileot horse ,
Ms , \ was handed a cloth bag containing
K I § 1,000 in gold. "With a last back-
§ ward glance towards the old home-
I stead the young man dashed off , and
I I from that day to this he never saw
B. I Lawrenceville again. At least so
' I everybody thought. A reward was
W ' \ offered by the governor and this sup-
I I plemented by rewards from other
I sources. .Search was made . far and
m I near , but no trace was ever
I found. The story of the shooting
became a war-time tradition and de
ft ccmied as such to a new generation.
I Eighteen or twenty months after the
I killing the father of the boy left for
Louisville , Ky. , carrying his wife
with him on a business trip. Six
I months later another trip was made ,
I and four months later another. Up-
on these visits the father and mother
saw their son. And the son returned
the visits ; at least the story goes
B that he had made frequent visits to
B nis old home visits of which none
V Diit his immediatefamily were aware.
B But'the visits have ended. A few days
B ago Charles Clinton , a wealthy and
B highly respected citizen of Hot
M Springs , breathed his last. He died
I surrounded by a loving family. This
m was Charles Clinton Ambrose. The
B t Arkansas side oftiie story is briefly
told. A man of excellent address ,
young and energetic , came to Hot
' Springs at the close of the Avar. He
V ' developed into a highly successful
, citizen , acquired property , and after
B I. a useful life , died at the age of-12 ,
R I 'earing ' his wife and children a snug

I Rather Cheerful for the Doctor.
B.Jfc F * rom the Pittsburg Dispatch.
iff A eountry doctor's life is not over-
_ g laid with eider-doAvn nor eternally
I j sprinkled with fresh rose leaves. A
V'l rew week's ago Dr. Blank Avas smn-
B 1 moned at midnight to a house that
B stands some distance from any other ,
B n a rural district near this city. A
M • stable hand had been kicked by a
B liorse and lay in a critical condition.
B The doctor flung on his clothes ,
B unnped into a buggy and drove as
B fast as he could through a rainstorm
B over heavy roads to the house Avhere
B the injured man lay. He had never
B. • I oeen to the house , but he had heard
B of its owner ' s predilection for savage
dogs and he was not surprised there-
B ; fore Avhen he drove up to the door to
B [ " . * iear the baying and barking in several
B * ' keys Avithin the house. After con-
H * siderable knocking a Avoman came to
B 1 the door and opened it about an inch
I I to inform the doctor that he'd have
B I to be careful about entering , for she
B 1 2ould hardly keep the dogs back.
B The doctor is a plucky man ,
B and he resisted a strong desire
B he felt to get back into his
B Duggv. The door Avas opened enough
B 'or him to slide through , and he en-
B tered a dimly-lighted hall. In front
B of him were arrayed tAVO large mas-
B tiffs , a bull dog , and a grey-hound ,
B • and between him and them stood the
fl A'oman who had let him in. She was
B the housekeeper , and she carried in
B one hand a lamp and in the other a
B chick cudgel.Vs he entered the hall

B of cheap and poor material , and the

How tho West was Save\
"W. P. Poolo on "Winaon'fl America.
A noAV interpretation is giAren to
tho raid made on the Spanish post
of St. Louis , in May 1780 , by fifteen
hundred Sioux and other northern
Indians , accompanied by some Eng
lish and Canadian traders. The
affair has been the occasion of many
conflicting statements as to tho time
it occurred , the number of persons
killed and captured , and A\iiy it Avas
that so large a body of Indians came
so far and did so little which Avas
war-like. It has often been asserted ,
and as often denied , that George
Ilogers Clark was on the opposite
side of the river , near Cahokia , ready
to giA'o aid to tho Spanish Governor
at St. Louis. It Avas here shown that
Clark and his men Averenear at hand ,
having hurried up from the Falls of
the Ohio for that purpose , and that
tho St. Louis raid Avas a part of a
much larger scheme , devised in Lon
don by Lord George Germain , Secre
tary for the Colonies , for the com
plete capture of the AVcst from the
Spaniards and the Virginians. Tho
scheme Avas early discoA'ered through
captured dispatches by Clark , and
by Gahrez , the Spanish GoA'ernor at
New Orleans ; and Gah'ez responded
by capturing all the English posts on
the Mississisppi.und later Mobile. He
made prepamtion also for attacking
Pensacola. This energetic action pre
vented Gen. Campbell , at Pensacola ,
from carrying out his part of the
Germain scheme ; that is , of bringing
an English fleet and army up the
Mississippi to co-operate Avith the
Indian expeditions coming down
from the North. The Indians , when
they arrived before St. Louis , probab
ly heard for tho first time of the failure
of Gen. Campbell's plans , and hence
their undecisive attack and speedy
return homo. The proximity of Col.
Clark , for whom the Indians had a
mortal dread , doubtless contributed
to their demoralization. The feeble
raid on St. Louis , therefore , AA'as an
event of historical importance as it
the of well-con
was outcropping a -
structed and dangerous project Avhich
has hitherto escaped the notice of
historical Avriter ; and if it had been
successfully carried out , Avould have
been disastrous to the United States.
The Avriter says :
"The scheme advised by Lord
George Germain for the complete
conquest of the AVest of bringing
down a large party of NortliAvestern
Indians upon St. Louis ; of sending
an expedition from Detroit to invade
Kentucky and keep Col. Stark busy ;
of bringing up the Mississippi to
Natchez , under Gen. Campbell , a fleet
and army , there to unite Avith the
Northern expeditions , and from
thence to capture the Illinois country ,
and all the Spanish settlements on
the river was from a military point
of vieAV an excellent one
and had every promise of suc
cess. St. Louis Avas in no condition
to resist an assault , and rank coav-
ardice marked the conduct of the
Governor and the feAV soldiers sta
tioned at the post Avhen the Indian
raiders appeared. The Illinois coun
try Avas very feebly garrisoned , and
not a soldier or a shilling had been
contributed by the Continental Con
gress for its conquest or defense. The
scheme failed because of the prompt
ness and exceptional activity of the
Spaniards under GoaGah'ez and
the watchfulness and energy of Col.
Clark. It AA'as the last concerted ef
fort of Great Britain to regain pos
session of the AVest ; as the campaign
of Clinton and Cormvallis , the ca
pitulation of the latter one year later
at YorktoAvn , Avas her expiring effort
on the Atlantic coast. If the AVevt-
ern scheme of Germain had been suc
cessful , the country north ofthe Ohio
river Avould have been apart ofthe
proA'ince of Quebec , and might haA'e
remained Canadian territory until
this day. In negotiating two or
three years later the treaty of peace
with Great Britain under such cir
cumstances , it is difficult to see
AA-hat boundaries the United States
could have secured. Spain therefore
rendered an hwaluable sen'ice to the
United States by enabling George
Rogers Clark to hold Avith his Alr-
ginia troops the country he had con
quered from the British , until the
treaty of peace confirmed to the na
tion the Mississippi river as its west
ern boundary. "

A Lake Serpent.
Alpena , Mich. , Special to N.Y. Herald.
Thunder Bay people are much ex
ercised over the story ofthe appear
ance of a monster lake serpent there.
Near and partly bordering on the
bay is the farm of Isaac Isaacson.
Not long ago he found a track
through his ploughed field about a
foot Avide , the appearance of which
led him to believe it Avas made by a
monstrous snake.
Mr. Isaacson's boy Grant Avas
planting potatoes in a field near the
house recently Avhen he saAV a huge
snake moving to\Aard him. The boy
hadadouble-barelledshotgunhaAiig
taken the precaution to carry the
gun Avith him AA'hen he A\"ent in the
fields since the snake track w as dis-
coA'ered. The boy fired twice at the
monster. He saysitAA'entoA-erstones
and sticks as lh'ely as a horse , and
glided doAvn to the bay AA'ater.
The boy ' s father then came along.
haA'ing been attracted by the gun re
ports , and they folloA\-ed the tracks
to the Avater. The boy described the
snake as about 25 feet long and OA'er
a foot thick , the body as black , Avith
yelloAV spots , and a j'elloAV tail. The
head A\'as covered Avith long black
hair. AA'here the snake Avent under a
board fence there Avas found some
dark hair about eight inches long.

3Irs. Blaine Took a Hand.
"If every man was cut and trimmed under
tho eye of his wife , like Jim Blaine , I would
quit the bubiness. " said Frank Rosenau of
the Continental hotel , as he related a pers-on-
al anecdote in which James G. Blaine ' s beard
cut a prominent figure. Bosenau went on to
affirm that a few years ago he was called to
Mr. Blaine's room at the Continental hotel.
Tho magnetic statesman's beard needed op
eration upon , and just as the distinguished
gentleman was comfortably seated Mrs.
Blaine drew near and proceeded to boss the
job."With
"With an eagle eye slio watched each hair

" A Rnnaway Train *
• The other day , says a writer , I
heard a story of unusual presence of
Tnind. It Avas told mo by one who
had himself receh'ed it from an officer
of ono of the great railroads that
cross tho Alleghany Mountains.
"There , " said the officer to my in
formant , as they Avere both going
about a great central station AA'here
cars and locomotives were made , re
paired and kept ; "there is the very
man. If he wants any favor ofthe
road he has only to ask for it. The
rest of us come and go ; but he he
stays and may stay , sen'ice or no
service , till death removes him. The
road is grateful to him and Avill al-
Avays hold him in honor. "
Many years haAre elapsed since the
incident happened ; many more since
the telling ofthe tale to my friends.
The details and the coloring vary
somewhat as they pass from mouth
to mouth. No doubt , when you have
finished the story , you Avill say , "Why ,
that AA'as the very thing I would
have done myself. " But Avould you
have done it ? Here is the story :
Puff ! Puff ! Puff ! It was hard work ;
for the grade Avas steep and the train
long and heavy. The engine panted
as if its strength AA'as failing. And
no Avonder. For miles and miles up
the slopes ofthe Alleghany Moun
tains it had been tugging its precious
burdens , and there Avere many more
miles before it should reach the sum
mit and tarry aAvhilo to regain its
strength.
Much ofthe Avay Avas little more
than a shelf cut into the mountain
sides , Avith rising Avails of rock on one
hand and deep ravines on the other.
And far up amongthe mountains , of
ten on the opposite sides of huge and
gloomy chasms , the obsenrant travel
er Avould catch glimpses of AA'hat
seemed to be the curves and embank
ments of another road. Later he
Avould be himself borne OArer these
very chasms and whirled around these
very curves.
These changing scenes kept the
passengers in a tremor of half joyful ,
half anxious excitement.
"Hoav beautiful that Avooded slope ! "
"Shall AA'e eA-er get to the top ofthe
ridge ? "
"IoA\'n ) here among the trees ! See
this silvery cascade ! "
"Ah , here A\e go through atunnel ! "
"That great boulder looks as
if the slightest jar would bring it
doAvn upon us ! "
"AVhat if the roadbed should give
way hero like an avalanch ? "
"Oh , here comes some trestle-Avork !
Hoav frail it looks ! And AA'hat a diz
zy height ! If it should break under
us oh , dear ! "
Just then a quick , sharp whistle
was heard. To those who heard it ,
it said imperatively , "Doavii brakes
and be quick about it , too ! " in
stantly the brakemen AA'ere straining
at their posts as if eA'ery life Avere
threatened. Indeed , it AA'as stheir
duty on these hard , treacherous
grades to stand by the brakes and
use them at a moment's warning.
People thrust their heads out ofthe
car AA'indoAvs , and some hurried to
the platforms , and there Avas a deal
ofnerA'ous questioning. AVhat A\as
the matter ? Had an accident hap
pened ? AVas there anjT danger ? No
body seemed to knoAv. Not even the
brakemen Avere informed. And it
Avas the gift of blessed Providence
that the cause AA'as not re\'ealed , else
that moment of uncertainty and
subdued alarm Avould have been one
of anguish and disaster.
"Free the engine from the train ! "
he shouted to the fireman. The en
gine Avas uncoupled , and the train
Avas left behind. ' "Noav jump for
your life ! " There Avas no time for
parley. The fireman leaped , fell and
scrambled to his feet again. Then
the engineer put on full steam. Freed
from its burden of coaches the loco-
moth'e responded at once.
"Noav fight the battle for us5 ! ex
claimed the engineer as he sprang
from the steps. His quick eye had
chosen a fa\rorable spot on Avhich to
alight. Though throAvn headlong
with some force , he Avas on his feet
promptly enough to see his train roll
by a lessening speed , under the full
control ofthe faithful brakemen.
That something , serious had hap
pened or was about to occur began
to be clear to the passengers. One
or tAVo had seen the firemen jump ,
two or three , the engineer ; and larger
numbers from the soiled and bruised
and dazed , Avere trying to raise to
their feet by the side ofthe track. All
was excitement and tumult. Some
began to leap from the cars. Fortu
nately there Avas little danger noAV , or
the motion ofthe train had nearly
ceased.
Up the track , meanAA'hile , went the
iron monster to meet the foe alone.
Doavii the track , into full sight , came
the Avild freight cars Avith a speed so
great that they almost rose from the
rail as they rounded the curve. Near
er and nearer , the speed of each in
creasing. AAThen they flew at each
other in a mighty , tiger-like rage , as if
there AA'ere blood to be shed and nei-A-es
to be torn asunder. The crash shook
the hills. A great , roaring cloud of
steam burst in the airwhile anothef
of dust and debris boiled up and
mingled confusedly .vith it. Then
the shattered ends ofthe cars shot out
here and there through the smoke ,
and a grinding , cracking mass rose
up. Quivering in the air a moment ,
it reeled , and then AA'ent crashing
down the embankment into the
ravine beloAV. When the steam and
dust cleared aAvay there AA'ere the deep ,
ugly furrows in the roadbed , the
splintered ties , and the bent and
broken rails , and the nameless frag
ments of an utter Avreck to mark the
scene ofthe fierce encounter.
The gallant engine was a hopeless
ruin ; but it had done a noble service.
It had fought a battle inwhich hun
dreds of lives and untold interests
were at stake , and it had won it. Not
a life of that precious company was
lost , not a member of it hurt by so
much as a scratch. Before they saAV
their peril they were rescued from it ;
and yet their rescue had hardly been
completed before the full and aAvful
nature of their peril burst upon them
and stirred them in their inmost be
ing.AVith

A Dog Turns Toper ,
Poor Nellie is dead !
Nellie was a dog , a fine specimen of
the Itussinn fox terrier breed. Sho
had one fault , says the Noav York
Herald , and that AA'as her loA'e for
lager beer. Nellie Avas an inA'eterato
tippler , and Avhile "crazy drunk" re
cently met Avith a terrible death by
being run over and killed by a hea\'y
laden truck.
There Avere probably feAV such smart
dogs as Nellie. She Avas the property
of AndreAV Beardon , a bartender in
Lynch's saloon , at No. 175 Grand
street , Williamsburg , ne became tho
possessor ofthe animal a little less
than three years ago AA'hen she Avas a
puppy of about three Aveeks old. As
she greAV up she became a hnndsomo
dog. She was a great faA'orite Avith
the customers of the place , and they
AA'ere in the habit of teaching Nellie
all kinds of tricks.
Last summer Nellie , who had made
the saloon her headquarters , became
addicted to the use of lager. It Avas
nothing unusual to see the animal go
ing to the trough and sipping the
drippings. The customers rather en
joyed this , and for hours sometimes
watched the antics ofthe young dog.
During the AA'inter months she limited
her consumption of the beA-erage , and
appeared resolved to drink moder
ately. As the warm weather came on ,
hoAveA'er , Nellie drank more than ever ,
and on account of her intemperate
habits and foolish actions became a
scandal to the neighborhood. Not
until recently did Nellie show symp
toms of having become a complete
sla\Te to drink , howeA'er. Her owner
observed it also , and kept her secure
ly chained in the rear of the store ,
furnishing her with a moderate allow
ance of lager.
Tavo weeks ago Nellie gave birth to
pups , and she was released from her
imprisonment. She Avas chased aAvay
from the beer troughs several times ,
but when not observed Avould tackle
the lager again. She began to drink
to excess , and would stagger when in
that condition to her bunk and sleep
off the effects of her debauch. It
was no uncommon occurrence , after
a nap of a feAV hours , for her to go
straightway ngain to the trough and
quench her thirst.
Since the birth of her puppies she
had become more dissipated than
eA'er before. A few days ago she be
gan to sip the lager at an unusally
early hour. She slept during the fore
noon , and in the afternoon again
imbibed to such an extent 1 hat she
became tipsy , and staggered around
the rear room. Nellie finally reached
the street , AA'here she wandered into
the gutter. In trying to dod < i-e a car
she accidently got under the Avheels
ofthe truck , and Avas killed outright.
The mangled remains ofthe favorite
animal Avere gathered together and
buried in a vacant lot not far
aAvay.

Poivcr of the Eye.
From the Xcw Yoik Star.
The poAver exerted by the human
eye OA'er man and animals is Aveil
knoAvn , and the evil use of such in
fluence is AAidely recognized. Tlfs
maleficient poAver is called the "eA'il
eye , " and the belief in its operation
seems never to haA-e been absent in
'any land. This does not mean the
undoubted influence exerted by the
eye , as in mesmerism , but a sort of
noxious influence proceeding from
the eye , Avith or Avithout the conni
vance ofthe oAA'ner ofthe organ. In
telligence of a belief in this strange
poAver comes to us from the cradle
lands of the East at an unknoAvn
period of history. Chaldean cylin
ders of clay , dug up on the banks of
the Euphrates , contain magical
formula against it. In Ass3ria ,
eight centuries before Christ , men ap
pealed to their Gods in long formu
lated prayers against possessors of
the eA'il eye , Avho are declared the
Avorst of men. Egyptian incanta
tions against the sorcerer , of an
early date , haAe come doAvn to us.
In one of these the sun is addressed
thus : " 0 thou AA'hose soul is the
pupil bf the eye. " An ancient Nedaic
hymn to Agni inA'okes Indra against
the eA'il eye. The eye ofthe Brahmin
was thought so poAverful that he Avas
forbidden , AA'hen satisfying the wants ,
ofnaturetolook at the sun , the moon
the stars , Avater or trees , lest he.
thould bewitch them. The Persian
Vendidad contains prayers and rites
to ward off the effects ofthe evil eye.
Ahriman subdued eA'il spirits by the
poAver of his glance. The Apocryphal
books of the Bible allude to the
same eA'il influence , and Ave find a
universal belief in its effects through
out antiquity ,
A Fool Joker Pa'S for His .Toke.
A modern instance of the punish
ment inflicted upon mockers occurred
recently , or at least the victim full-
believes that such is the case. James '
O'Meara is a young , robust man.
some twenty-five years of age. and
about eleven o ' clock the other even
ing he was in BoAvdoin Square Avait-
ing for a Somerville car. AVhilethere
a wooden legged man passed along ,
and James created considerate mer
riment by his imitation of the crip
ple ' s gait. James , however , Avas soon
brought to grief , for the leg corre
sponding with the lame leg of the
man whom he mocked immediately
became rigid and the joker was
obliged to lean up against a building ,
as locomotion was impossible for
him. Patrolman Connery assisted
him to Station 3 and Dr. Cilley Avas
summoned , who pronounced it a case
of spasmodic contraction ofthe mus
cles. All that was possible was done
to relieve him and he was conveyed
to his home. He Avept copiously and
declared his misfortune to be a judg
ment for his mockerv.

To nay I'nt wonderfully bettor ;

Who Haw me ju t ono month ago
Thin , nervoiie , fretful , whlto an chalk ,
AlmoHt too weak to breathu or talk ;
Head throbbing , an if fit for breaking ,
A weary , ever-present aching.
Hut novr life nee inn a differeut thing ;
I feel nti glad n bird on triug !
1 xny , and fear no contradiction ,
That I'ierco'it Favorito Prescription
la grand ! Why , I'd have died without it !
Ma Ihlnku there's no mistakeubout it.
It'ti driven all my illn away ;
Juat come and nee ! Youra ever , May.

What a Dtiiier.
I suffered with fever , hot head and foul
breath ,
With stomach disordered ituk eick unto
death.
I bore it u week Btirely I wna a dunce
Then I took a few "Pellela" they cured
me at once.
What a dunce , indeed , to neglect nuch a
remedy nnd suffer u week , when quick re
lief could have been found iu Dr. Pierce'H
Pleasant Purgative Pellets.

feeds almost entirely on this Moxie Nerv >
Food , uliich nervous , weakly women use

coutiuue a cevere effort a long time.
