"Before I tell tell you my story,
gentlemen," Bald Capfaln Sheldon, to
a small party of ua whosataround the
festive board, "I will give give you a
toast. Fill up your glasses, and let it
be drank in silence."
As we all complied, the Captain rose
and said, with much solemnity
"To the memory of the brave hero
es who fell at Monterey."
An impressive silence of some mo
ments followed, during which we all
drank, aud the speaker resumed his
seat.
"I believe I promised you a some
what romantic story, in which I hap
pened to play a rather important
part," proceeded Captain Sheldon, as
one collecting his thoughts for a di
rect, straightforward narration.
"Well, here you have it, then ; and I
am inclined to think the facts will
Interest you, even if my manner of
telling them does not."
"It is needless," pursued the Cap
tain, to enter into any description of
the storming of Monterey, for with
the general facts you are all familiar ;
and it is also needless to tell you that,
as one of that glorious band of heroes,
known as the Texas Rangers or, as
General Worth was pleased to style
us, the Texas Dragoons I Baw some
pretty hard fighting during the mem
orable Biege.
"Wo had taken Fort Teneria, the
Bishop's Palace and some other strong
positions, and had concentrated our
forces upon the town, nnd were forc
ing our way as best we could to the
Cathedral Plaza, where the main body
of tho enemy were then stationed.
The conflict was terrible, and at its
height, and the roar of cannon
the Bharp rattle of musketry, the
thunder of dashing artillery, the bat
tering In of doors, the pecking thro'
thick walls, the loud commands of of
ficers, the shouts of theassailants.'the
groans of the wounded, and the
shrieks of terrified women and chil
drenall together, made a most hor
rid din, such as I never wish to hear
again.
"The streets being barricaded, and
each building turned Into a sort of
fortified castle from the flat roof of
which, behind breastworks of sand
bags, the enemy continually poured
down a most destructive fire it be
came necessary for some of the troops
to enter these buildings, force a pass
age through from one to the other,
dislodge the garrison of each, and use
them as safe covert from which "to
annoy the foe in return.
"In this hazardous occupation, I
had been engaged for several hours
and had witnessed some fearful scenes
as, in cutting ourway through from
one house to the other, we had occas
ionaly come in contact with men brave
enough to bar our passage with their
lives when suddenly, just as I had
thrown myself down on a seat to get
my breath and a few moments' rest, I
heard the wild shout that announced
the successful passage of our little
band into another adjoining build
ing. Fairly mingled with this shout,
were tho report of fire-arms, the clash
of steel, and the shrieks of women.
There was no time to be idle now ;
and starting-up I ran forward, with
my sword in one hand and a revolver
in the other. Making my way to the
operture which had been forced thro'
the two walls, I entered an apartment
dim with smoke, where all was excit
ment and confusion. Our party, still
victorious, were mostly grouped
around two wounded comrades ; while
near them lay two dead Mexicans,
theirjeomrades having lied ; and in
one corner several women were hud
dled together, greatly terrified aud
shrieking for mercy supposing us,
from all they had heard, to be no bet
ter than so many savages.
"As I could speak Spanish so as to
be readily understood, I stepped for
ward to the frightened females, and
bad just begun to utter a fe words
calculated to allay their fears, when I
fancied I heard a heavy jarring sound
in an adjoining room, and a wild cry
In Spanish of,
'"SpaFo him! Bpare him! he is my
father!'
Perceiving a door, which I thought
might lead to the room in question, I
sprung to it, tore it open, and, in the
centre of a small apartment, afc once
beheld three figures an old man
grepiing with a young one and a
beautiful female, with her arms part
ly thrown (around the elder, as if to
draw him away and shield him,
while a prayer for mercy was issuing
from her lips.
"Hold ."I shouted, in a tone that
instantly arrested the attention of all'
parties. 'Senor,' I. quickly added in
Spanish, addressing the old gentle
man, 'you must at once yield your
self prisoner.of -.waiyor X .cannot be
answerable -for the consequences!'
"He had already done -so, Senor
Caballero, when this fellow attempt
ed to rob him, and be grappled with
him to prevent himself from being
plundered,' said the female, turning
upon me a nost beautiful face, and
fixing upon me a pair of most be
witching black eyes.
11 'What! have we a common high
wayman and thief among us?' cried
I turning upon the Ranger, whose
now downcast and guilty look at once
convinced me -that the accusation was
just,
He began to stammer forth some ex
cuse, but I ordered him out of my
sight, with a threat of more severe
punishment in the event of my hear-
ing-'anything more of his disgrace.
" "'OH1 ttfanks,, noble sir!' inai
many,

many tha'nks!" cried the female,
springing forward, seizing my hand,
aud carrying it to her lips. 'Oh,
spare him !' she continued, fixing her
large, soft', lustrous eyes upon me, in
in the most faclnating manner in the
world; spare him !- spare my father!
and heaven will bless you, and Paula
will ever remember you' with grati
tude!' " 'Be assured, fair lady, he is only a
prisoner of war, and not a hair of his
head shall be injured!1 was my gal
lant reply, as I looked steadily into
the dark, soul-speaking eyes s'o near
to mine, and felt a strange, roma'ntio
facination stealing over me.
"'Father, do you hear that?' sal'd"
Paula, joyfully. 'See what It is to
meet with a noble officer! Pray step
into that closet there, and bring him
some refreshments.'
" 'Thanks, fair lady !" said I, as the
old gentleman opened a side door and
disappeared, as directed. 'Hard fight
ing and a long fast are truly calculat-,
ed to give a man an appetite, and I
flatter myself I shall beable to do jus
tice to your fare.'
'"Oh, this siege is terrible for all
parties!' said Paula; and sha contin
ued talking on the subject for a mo
ment or two, when ahe stopped sud
denly, and saying, "Pray excuse me
till I see what detains my father,' she
hurried out through the same door,
closing it after her.
"At this moment some of the men
came in from the other room, when I
informed them what had occurred,
and that shortly we were to have
something to break our long fast. But
when some five minutes had passed
away, without the reappearance of
either Paula or her father, we began
to grow impatient; and going to the
door, I opened it, and discovered that
it was a ruse of tho girl, to effect her
own and her father's escape for the
door merely opened into a vestibule,
which led into a garden the house it
self being built rather after the En
glish than the Spanish style.
"Well, the escape was a trivial
thing in itself, and after a few playful
compliments from my comrades, the
Bubjeot was dropped and the incident
was forgotten, wo having enough be
fore us of a more serious nature to oc
cupy our minds.
"I pass over the siege for that is a
matter of history. The American ar
my, as the world knows, was victor
ious ; and after three or four davs hard
fighting on both sides, the Mexicans
capitulated, and weve allowed to
.nrarch 6'a't of tho city, with the honors
of wsr.
"A few days after this event, the
Rangers were mustered out of service,
aud I wa"3 once more master of my
time and person. I lingered about
the town for a few days longer, and
then set off with a train for Camargo,
on my return to the United States.
"I pass over several little Incidents
which might or might not interest
you, but which, have
no bearing on
the story which it is my purpose to
relate. About twelve or fifteen miles
from Mier, the train halted late one
hot afternoon ; and being told that a
small parti' of our men had ridden on
to Mier, and might easily be overtak
en, I resolved to push on alone for
that purpose.
"The road, somewhat hilly, and
passiutt over an almost barren waste
of country, I knew to be dangerous,
from the prowling bands of guerrillas
that infested It; and had I not-felt
certain of overtaking the party in ad
vance before night-fall, I should not
have attempted it alone.
"But as fortune would have it.T got
benighted before oVertaklng'my com
rades ; and in one of the most gloomy
and dismal places on the route a deep
dark hollow between two steep hills
I found myself suddenly jerked
from my horse to the ground, by
means of a lasso, which had been
thrown over my head with unerring
aim, and which, falling over my arms
so completely pinioned them to my
body, as to prevent my drawing a
single weapon in my defence.
"Scarcely had I struck the" ground,
when two men snralicr upon me, and
I could see the bright blades of their
weapons gleam in the dim light.
1 " 'For God's sake gentlemen, do
not murder me!1 I orled in Spanish,
though with little hope that my pray
er would be heeded for I had seen
more than one cross on my route, to
note the spot where some solitary
traveller had fallen a victim to" the so
called knights of the road.
" 'Who are you ?' gruffly demanded
one of the two, as he determinedly
put his hand upon my throat aud
raised bis knife, as I believed, for the
fatal stroke.
"Wbyjdon'tyou finish him, Gui
do?' said a voice at a short distance
from me ; and glancing my eye in the
direction af.the speaker, I dimly per
ceived three or four figures grouped
together, one of whom had my hor6e
by the bit. 'Why don't you finish
him ? What is-it to you who or what
he is?'
"'Why, if he is a gentleman;' re
turned Guido, as he .deliberately
brought the point of the sharp weap
on down upon my naked throat, 'who
knowB but he might pay us -a hand
some ransom for4iis life?'
"I caught at the suggestion, and in
stantly replied :
4"I will Twill! I am a gentle
man of meane, and will pay yoa any
ransom that we may agree upon, at
any place convenient to both.'
" 'Fools! why do you dally? Dead
men tell no tales!' cried another voice
behind me, which not only sounded
like that of a: woman" but whlob,
not.
altogether unfamiliar to me.
" 'Can it be possible that one of tho
gentler sex deorees me to death?' said
I;while the ruffian whose hand and
knife were upon my throat, s'eemed to
wait for Bome reply before the com
pletion of his bloody work.
"'Hold, Guido stay your hand!'
said the same feminine voice. 'Who
are you, sir?' was next addressed to
me.
" 'If it Is Paula who asks that ques
tion, I am the officer who Baved her
father at the storming of Monterey,1
was my reply to the interrogation.
'"Ha! Is
s'a'tne voice.
it so indeed?' said the
'Back there, Pablo and
Guido!' and as the ruffians released
their hold of me, a woman's face was
brought close to mine, and that face I
could see was Paula's. Itis true!' Bhe
proceeded, aftera close scrutiny of my
features; 'this gentleman did save
father, and" for that act he is now free
Senor Cabellero,' she continued, ad
dressing me, 'accept my regrets for
tho trouble I have given you, and my
congratulations that nothing more
serious has occured! Arise, sir you
are free. Mount your horse and away,
with a God-speed and without ques
tion ! And when you relate this ad
venture to your friends, tell them you
found gratitude even in the breast of
Paula Mendolez, the Guerrilla Queen.
" 'Thanks, fair lady a thousand
thanks for my life !' said I, as I start
ed to my feet, though even then fear
ful of a treacherous stab from the sul
len and disappointed bandits.
" 'Away !' said Paula, sternly; 'and
let ua never meet again for though
we part as friends now, we should
next- meet as foes. We are at quits
now. You have saved my father's
life, aud I have saved yours. Adois!'
"It needed no special urging to get
me into the saddle; and finding nay
self clear of the robbers, and once
more under way, I drove the spurs
into my horse, and in less than an
hour, the foam-covered beast stood
panting beside my comrades in the
town of Mier.
"Such, gentlemen, is in brief the
history I promised you,'' concluded
the Captain, refilling his glass. "I
see you all look as if you would ask
for more facts but I have none to
give you. Who Paula Medolez really
was, and-what became of her, I know
no more than you. I only know that
wo met and parted in tho manner I
have stated, and that I still feel very
grateful to her for having my head on
my shoulder.a to-night, to tell you tho
story. Fill Up, gentlemen, and here
is to the very good health of the Guer
rilla Queen."
Health and Longevity.
It would seem, from the statistics
gathered b3' medical men, that inval
ids are more likely to attain a great
age than are the healthy and robust ;
aud that life-assurance companies
would be wise to accept them as pat
rons, instead of rejecting them as is
now the custom. In a recent lecture
by Dr. Southoy, it is declared that
"Health and longevity are not syn
onymous ; neither are health and
great muscularity. iMie most muscu
lar men, great prize-fighters, men who
could fell an ox with their fists, have
been known to be always ailing, and
complaining about themselves. The
state of perfect training, regarded by
those who know little of it as a con
dition of perfect health, is rather one
of morbid imminence. Longevity,
like height, is a race-attribute, bnt it
does not signify health. The .three
oldest people I ever knew women
who reached respectively 89, 9S, and
100 were valetudinarians, and had
been so nearly all their lives."
A Good Little Boy
In ward number 5, a few evening3
ego, a ran a mother undertook to teach
her little boy the Lord's prayer. The
little fellow repeated the words after
her until she came to: "Give us this
day our daily bread." Then he paus
ed, and seemed to be thinking very
bard. At last he said ;
"There ain't
no use asking God
for that bread.
You can't humbug God that way,
ma, for he Is everywhere, and he
knows we have done eat supper, and
he must have seen that big plate-full
of buiscuits In the safe, and if we try
to fool him he'll catoh us out on the
ily, first pop." San Antonio Herald.
A new work that is, a new signifi
cation of an old one has for some
time provoked our curiosity In the
streets of New York. Street-car con
ductors, policemen, porters, and wait
ers address a woman a3 a lady. For
example, "lady you have dropped
your purse." It seems to be exclus
ively a vocative. -Our first wonder is
why they do not say madam. Possi
bly because of a doubt whether the
woman is married, and a belief that
misses are not entitled to be called
madam. We are not clear about it.
It ia also possible that lady 13 an ef
fort tooar to a loftier region than can
be preached with madam. The next
wonder is by what mental process the
word "lady" was reached. Was it
an importation of the titled English
"My Lady"? Or is it a flower bloom
ing on that dirty stalk "Mr. Smith
and lady" for Mr. Smith and wife?

The Hebrew Brothers.
When our great Teacher told his
hearers, in the Sermon on the Mount,
that they ought to make up their
quarrels' and forget their mutual
hatreds before performing an act of
worship, probably many of them felt
their hearts respond to his words.
Any Jew who broughthls "gift to the
altar," could know from his own
Scripture, that the form of prayer Is
bothing without the right frame of
mind,
.There is a true story from the
Netherlands, that two Hebrew broth
ers, Joseph and Isaac, affectionate,
but naturally high-tempered, one day
had a difference, and parted fn hot
anger.
It was the day before the Sabbath,
and as evening drew near Joseph's
wife observed him walking to and
fro, looking uneasy and unhappy.
She finished and laid aside her week
ly work, and waited for him to come
in and rhako the usual preparation.
Tho Bun went down, but he still
moved about, and seemed to grow
more nervous nnd gloomy every
minute.;
She spoke to him. "Husband, It is
almost dark. Will you not light the
8abbath lamp?"
But Joseph paid no heed.
Presently she called him again.
"Dearhusband, why do you not come
in ? The Sabbath has nlready begun.
Behold ! overhead the Lord has lit
His stars. But our lamp is dark."
Then Joseph, looking more troubled
than ever, suddenly seized his staff
and walked awnj', leaving his wife iu
anxiety and wonder. He was gone,"
however, but a short time, and when
he returned his face nnd manner were
entirely changed'.
Calmly he offered the Sabbath
prayer, and then with a smile he lit
the Sabbath lamp. His wife', still
wondering, questioned him.
"Rebecca, my beloved," he said, 'I
could not worship till I was reconciled
with Isaac. It is dohe, and now I
am at peace."
"But," said she, "how could you
go to Isaac's house and come back so
soon ?"
"Ah, Rebecca, my brother could not
rest any more than I, aud he met me
on the way, and there we embraced
and wept together.
"Be angry and sin not. Let not the
sun go down upon your wrath," is a
Christian precepti But more primi
tive worshipers of God, who never
owasd that tlc7ewrlrirtfjamt is th
perfect blossom of the Old, nre found
to obey this as a pious obligation,
proving that the law of love is as an
cient as the Creation.
A grandson of Joseph and Rebecca
became a Christian minister, the emi
nent Dr. Capadose, of Holland, who,
while living, often related tho abovo
story with delight and gratitude.

Democratic party is intimately allied
to three things with which respecta
ble people have little or nothing in
sympathy, but which are themselves
very closely bound together. There
Is no question of politics, but they are
mere barnacles of the ship of State,
and I have no doubt my Democratic
reader Is as heartily ashamed of them
as wo are. It is because we see danger
in them, as well as disgrace, that wo
write as we do. You will recognize
them at once, a hideous sisterhood
Irish Catholicism, Rum aud Igno
rance, We say Irish Catholicism in
tentionally, as a political rather than
a religious faith, and do not refer in
the least to the great body of the
membership of the Roman Catholic
Church: On calling at tho office of a
friend this evening, chatting freely
upon matters and things, somehow
the conversation turned on President
Grant. To our surprise an attachee
of the office, also a friend, broke out
in language of abuse there is no oth
er word to express our meaning.
"He was an unmitigated brute; a
mere drunken sot; an ignorant, un
lettered boor."
We ventured mildly to suggest our
doubt, aud to urge that at least he
was a graduate of West Point; but
the tap. was turned on aud he had his
Bay, We were astonished at first, for
usually the gentleman is not so pro
nounced as all that came to. A mo
ment made it all clear. Although he
is an alien, he is a zealous Roman
Catholic, and has close affinity with
some of the magnates of the Irish
branch of the church. And whatev
er that branch may do it will never
forgive President Grant for his firm,
outspoken defense of our public
schools. You may set it down that
the whole weight of the Irish Catho
lics was thrown for Tilden. It is an
open secret that the rum Interest in
these cities goes the .same way. It
has alwaj-3 been so, here and every
where, in this country. And Igno
rance has always goue with these two
hand in hand. From the alums of
this great city, reeking with filth and
steeped In degradation and misery;
from the mm shops which haunt ev
ery corner, and in some streets so hold
possession that the very air is heavy
with the fumes of the poisonous li
quor; from the haunts of sin and
shame that Bhun the light; at such
an election time, comes the hordes
ibat swell the majority, which paral
yzes 11 efforts at good government,
puts to naught all attempts at reform,
and makes our city a by-word of re
proach. With no property at stake,
nor the disposition to acquire any,

Ear rJarks of a Butter Cow.
John Sliattuck,anoted butter dairy
man of Chenango County,Nk Y.,sald
at the late convention of the New
York State Dairyman's Association,
that he had found the color on the in
side the ear to be an' infallible guide
in the selection of a good butter cow.
If the skin on the Inside the ear Is'of
a rich yellow color1," the cow was" sure
to give a good quantity of milk; that
is, milk rich in butter. He said in all
his experience he fiad' never known
this sign to fall. J. W. North, fn the
Maine Farmer, gives some further In
formation concerning the subject. He
observes that cows producing very
high colored butter have a large
amount of the ear secretion, in mtjny
instances tho whole internal surface
being covered with a thick orange
oolored, oily matter ; on the other
hand, the light-colored batter makers
present a scanty, thin and pale yellow
secretion, in some caseB found only at
the bottom of the ear. His theory is
that every animal has the power of
secreting a certain amountof this yel
low pigment. If tho quantity be
sufficiently large, secretion will take
place freely. In .the mammary glands,'
the ear ah d skin'.

Dick Lazybones was tho owner of s
large dog, which cost as much to keep
as two pigs, and tho dog was worse
than useless", and' greatly annoyed
Dick's wife. ,
"Plague take tho dog," cried she.
"Mr. Lazybones, I wish you would
sell him or do something or other
with him.. I wonder you keep such a'
useless animal."
"Well, well, my dear," said' Dick,,
"pay no more about it. I will geYricT
of him one of these days."
This was intended as a mere evas
ion on tho part of Dick"; but as his
wife kept daily dinning in his ears
about the dog .he was, at last compell
ed to tako action in the matter.
"Well, wife," said he one' day,
"I've sold Jowler!"
"Have you, iudeed,"
"I'm dreadful glad of it.
she cried.
How much

"Five pounds."
"Fivepound8! What! five pounds
for one dog? How glad I am! But
where's the money,' my love?"
"Money?" repeated Diok, taking" a
long pipe lazily from his month, "I
didn't get any money; I took two
puppies at two pounds ten, apiece."

A priest was hearing 'confession,

"Well, me good boy, come cad wld
it," said his reverence.
"Augh, den, your rlverence, I do
be always sayiu 'Be the Holy Fath

"You do? that's very bad', me
boy. Now, how often do you be say
lug that?"
"Begor, more than forty times a"
day, your rivefeuce."
"Go home now," said tho, priest,
"and get your sister to make you a"
bag and hang it round your neok,, and'
every time you say 'Be the Holy
Father,' drop a little stone in it, and
dome this day week."
That day week his reverence was as
usual in his box, and he heard an aw
ful noise in the church, so he looked
out and saw lii3 penitent dragging a
aack.
"Tady Mulloy,,' Baid he, "what do'
you mean' by such conduct as that in
the church?"
"Shure, yer riverence," says the
fellow, "dose is all 'Be the Holy

Insist on yourself, never imitate.
Your own gift you can present every
moment with the cumulative force of
a whole life's cultivation, but of tlie
adopted talent of another you have
only an extemporaneous, half posses
sion. That which can do best, none
but his Maker can teach him. No
man yet knows, nor can, till that per
son has exhibited it. Where is tho
the master that could' have taught
Shakespeare? Where is the master
who could have instructed Franklin,
or Washington, or Bacon, orNewtoh ?
Every great man is a unique. Emer
son. The difference between the aotion
of the Returning Board of Louisiana
and the action of the Governor of
Oregon is that the latter entirely and
shamefully disregarded the law, while
the former, whatever else may be said
of them, are admitted to have kept'
inside the statutory powers bestowed"
upon them. The Republicans re
spect and obey the law, and ask no1'
victory except under its forms; their
opponents disregard it, and look for
triumph, only by trampling law be-'
neath their feet.
Raw recruits are sometimes fright-'
ened by yelis and wild shots and much
beating of the brush, but veteran sol
diers never. The Democratic gascon
ade and noisy threats count nothing
with veteran Republicans who know
their tricks. Go on with your shriek
