AX EVEXIXU CAUi.
Wc lived in the far. far West, in a
little Mittlemcnt calle I Siam Town.
My gmndfather was named O.ias
Steele, nu d um hn was a deacon in the
church, he generally received that title.
1 was called tho deacon's little Iiecky.
I I nd been born in Maine, b t when my
parents tiled my grandf.it her crossed
tho continent, and bn tight mo back
with him. I !o carried 1110 all tho way
in a Hat basket, filled with cotton bat
ting, which he held on his knees. He
often told me how he walked into the
hotels or taverns where he slopped with
me for lug.ae, and how much interest
I o cited. 1 w:n only three months
ohl, and I found a mother at every
re? ing place. Since then he had been
nil to 1110, and as I remembered nothing
j!kc, I was perfectly happy. At siv
teen I had had my .chool ng. and had
settled down to lo his I ousekeeper,
under the tuition of our one servant,
S.tlly Wells.
It was a still night, following 11 beau
tiful day. As I sat at my window I
could hear all tho insect voices hard at
work cricket, katydid and locust and
the queer little tree-toad. Away in the
heart of the old wooth a screech-owl
was hooting. Down in the toun the
bells were ringing for evening meeting,
which thev hoal on Wednesday.
(Grandfather was gone to chur h. Ho
bad taken old Widow (Slenn ng and her
daughter with him, ami tho buggv
would hold no more. So I staid :it
home. J-ally had gone to get some
yea t cakes nt the store, and I was
alone. 1 dit'tf t mind it. I had never
known what it was to be a 'raid o" soli-
tude. though a crow I won'.d have fright-
vtied me.
Tho room was our sitting-room It
was early in October, and the windows
.w. re open,-but there was a littlo log
lire on the hearth.
A lam), with a, green paper shade,
decorated by a design icpreseiiting three
little kittens eating a pound cake, s'ood
on tho table; near it my work-basket.
. Thechai's had rush-bottoms, with the
exception of two lloslou rocking-chairs
with chiuU cushions; an engraving of
the battle of Hunker IIiII, a portrait of
Washington, ami .-01110 family photo
graphs hung on the wall, wlrch was
covered with a pale-gray paper with a
pink flower upon it. A clock and two
vases stood on the mantel p'ecc, a rag
carpet was on the tloor, and a .secretary
and book-case combined filled one ro
cess. We had a be-t pa lor, which was
lusted every Saturday, but wo never
thought of using it.
I felt very lazy that evening, and
though 1 had 1 egun a very pretty sort
of tape trimm "ng. hail no desire to take
it tin. I looked at the star; that
twinkled and shone so brightly; at the
splendid planet shining over tho distant
mountain peak. I hoard a brook bab
bling in the hollow, and 1 fancied after
awhile, when tho church bells had done
ringing, that I heard some unusual
sounds men's voices calling to each
other far away, and saw lights now and
then in the fringe of woods that covered
tho hill. Isolated drovers, perhaps,
urging their cattle on to a safe stopping
place, or wo xl-cutters who mteniied to
camp out, to be ready for their woik
in " the morning. As I looked at tho
bright dots moving to and fro, I hoard
another sound near at hand a crunch
in'of feet on the stony road, and look
ing toward tho gate I saw a man opon
it and hurry in, and come up to tho
door. I was not surprised that ho
opened it without knocking, for people'
were not ceremonious thcro. but 1 felt
a little startled when I saw that ho was
a stranger. He was out of breath, as
though he had been running. His faco
was damp with perspiration; his
clothes, which were good otherwise,
were torn, as though ho had made his
way through thorny bushes, and it was
evident that ho was listening intently.
I. too, heard something; what, I hardly
knew.
As soon as ho cotfld do so ho spoke.
"Are von alone in tho houso, vounjr
lad.?" he said.
'"Yes," 1 answered.
1 uFor God's sake, tell mo where I can
hide!" ho said. "Tho lynchers are
after me."
I knew whit he meant. I knew. too.
that, men were only lynched for fearful
.crimes; but I had a woman's heart.
Whatever he had done, he asked mv
help.
Yet where could he h:do? There f,
were live rooms iu tho house; each had
n small cupboard. There was no exit
to the roof no secret closets no larjro
liumtuic, aud I heard them

Go into that room," I said
'Do
not shut the door. Get into the bed
you see there, and tie tho handkerchief
on tho bedpost over your head. Turn
your faco to the wait It's your only
chance."
Ue obeyed me. I sat down bv the
table, dragged nry work-basket toward
me; -and began to sew an d sing. I heanl
maay steps upon tho road. The gato
clanged. I knew that men came up tho
path ami peeped in at the window Then

leader? ut we're after a man a

,We rather reckoned he'd got you to

"Try not to wake grandfather," I
said. "He's not welL You can look
unSer his bed, if you choose. There's
.no other place to hide in in that reom,

One of the men went on tiptoe into
the room, and looked under the bed,
laughed softly, and came out.
"Youmay'go over the bouse, if yon
like." said J, "and see if you can find

Historical Egyptian Mound.
It is a fact that n'i Egynt'an mound
has ever been hj'stematiaclly excavated
excavated, thai is to say.in the careful,
thorough, .scientific way in which the
(Ternrins have g no to w rk at OJympia
and Dr. Sihliemanu at Hissarlik." Yet
a well-ch sen Egyptian m und w tdd
yield result? mote varie 1 and more uni
versally interesting than any Greek, or
Trjan, or even A.ss3'rian site. Not
many of even those who are iu a gen
eral way acquainted with Egyptian an
tiquity have probably any clear idea of
the constituent parts tho jrcologie.il
strata, so to speak of the typicnl
Egypt'an mound. Yet that mound, as
we will endeavor to sketch it. is in it-o f
an epitome of "the Egypt of the past."
We may .suppose it t- be situate iu the
Delta possibly in the old laud of Go
shen, where there are man' .suchand
t have been founded about tho lime of
tho Twelfth Dynasty. S mo natural
elevation having been c'iosimi for its
site, a temple would liist be erected to
tho 'ocal divinity; and round tho enclos
ing wall ot this temple tho houses of
the first inhabitants would spring tip.
Like the h uses of the modern Egyp
tians, these were constructed of mud
bricks dried in the sun; but the temple
was of enduring stone. Easily built
and easily replaced, tho emtio brick
dwellings were constantly falling out of
repair, oeing leveieu to mo ground,
trodden upon, and rebuilt with the same
material; whereby a bijfher elevation
was each time obta.ncd "for tho new
foundations. In a country sub'ect lo
annual inundation, this would bo re
garded as an advantage. Thus, in the
course of ages, what was originally a
rising ground was converted into a lofty
hill; and tho houses of the townsfolk
uplifted, as it were, upon a toral reef
made by human hands ro.;o so high
that the temple stood in a hollow
in the middle of the city, ns if built in
tho crater of an extinct volcano.
Such was the eon bt'on of llubastis
when visited by Herodotus in the fifth
century H. C. As t me went on, and
the bust native d nast.es expired, and
the period of Greek ru'e arrived, our
town still increased as to size and
height, and threw out new Miburbs.
Tho Ptolemies probably added to the
temple, and perhaps built two or throe
subsidiary chapels. Then came tho
Roman period, and the i itrodu tiou of
Christianitv ; and. by and by. when tho
old national religion was finally pro
scribed, the I optic priests then called
mono hv.sil-s, converted the j ortieo of
tho toinplo into a Christian 1 hurcli. The
town now quickly overflowed into the
old i-acmlotal j ro incts. Mud huts
were plastered against sculptured walls.
and between painted columns; and the
ground began to rise in and about the
temple, just as it had previously risen
on side the enclosure. Ere long tlm
priests, tired of living in a pit, decided
to build a dayr. or convent, with a
many-domed "church, in ono of the
suburbs. So the temple was partly
pulled down to provide materials for
this dayr, anditsiuins (now tho poor
est and most crowded quarter of the
town) became gradually choked within
and without. At last it was altogether
buried, and its cry sito forgotten. A
few centuries later tho town is -devastated
by some calamity of plague or
war. and a'ter an existence of, perhaps,
SlOO years, is deserted. In course of
time even tho crude brick ruins of its
latest habitations crumble awa or are
demolished for "top d.cssing" by tho
husbandmen round about. So the town
ends by becoming a mere congeries of
brown mounds, desolate, unsightlv, and
strewn with innumerable potsherds.
. Such being the hitory of our mound,
nothing :s easier than to predict what
mav bo found in it. The excavator
sinks a vertical trench in tho 1 keliest
part of tho mass, and this irench uts
through the relics of 120 generations of
men. It is not one town that is thus laid
open, but an immense succession of
towns in superimposed strata a Coptic
town at the top, a town of the Twelfth
Duiasty (that is, of the timo of Abra
ham or thereabout) at tho bottom.

An cxtraor linary battle occurred in
Charlotte, the other night, between a
citizen, aidetl bj- two policsmcn, and a
gang of muskrats. Charlie tox was
going to hs homo, and, when feeling
ibr llio gato in the dark, something
jumped at his leg and nabbed his
bree-hes. Looking down, he saw a
number of small eyes sparkling like
diamonds. He could not imagine xvhat
they were, and. kicking them from his
legs, hopped over tho fence, hurried to
tho house and came backxvithalisrhtcd
lamp and a stick, l'ardly had he
reached tho spot before the. hungry
animals once more attacked his legs.
Ho knocked one, and as ho did so his
light went out, aud ho beat a hasty re
treat and hunted for tho police. Trc
officers got a lamp and proceeded to
the scene, and when they reached tho
place they had to do battle. One big
follow, who was evidently president of
tho body, as his immense size would
indicate, mado a jump at Officer Black
welder, who struck at it xvith his club,
but missed Irs aim. The same one then
jumped on OH'cer Boyte. who was more
successful in the use of his club, and
killed it by a blow on tho head. The
officers knocked right and left, and
finally thcrats, for some cause or an
other, ceased fighting and scampered
oft, taking refuge under the culvert
near. A careful search of tho field
failed to show but one dead rat, a re
markably large one that weighed ten
pounds. Mr. Fox eaw only three -when
he came out with the lamp, but about
ten or fifteen in all attacked the
police. They were exceedingly vora
cious in their attack en Mr. Fox!! as the

The next aspirant for popular favor
was the b'i.ard. This came in mid

supposed to hare its home omcwhcrc

oned a purely American production, al
though it may occasionally spread over
the line into the d .-L-int regions of tho
loin nion. The bli.anl travels to tho

lauds aud people that lie iu it path.
There has on some occasions in tho
pa.st been a prevailing ide i that the
bli..ard, being iu its nature pronged
mil dtishlo, has separated when it
'cached tho western idioro of Lako
Michigan and gone around the State in
stead of passing oer it, one fork of the
dorm finding its way a'ong the track of
navigation and jumping from Mackinac
over into Canada, and the other veering
irotiud through the northern portions
of Indiana and hio, lea ing the happy
lower peninsula en irely unto died.
Itecent experience however, leads us to
believe that the theory of biturcatcd
bli..ards which, .so to speak, M addled
Michigan without touching it. is an er
roneous one Since Sunday last tho
lilt zard has been felt, even here, and
iu tho future no well-infoimed cilicu
hereabouts will maintain, as many of us
have done in the past, thai this State is

Explosive as nifro gh'ccrlno is known

d tions to the materia met! ca are sev
eral which, though harmless when un
m Aod with anjth'ng -l-e. may form
frightfully exp osivc w nip unil.s when
mixed with onto other remedy. 1 or
example, chlorate of potash and gh cer
iue form an explosive in co.iiparioii
with which nitro-glycor "no is tame and
harmless. Now, it o'ton happens that
a pu son, a'ter gargling his throat w th
g veer tie, swallows a chlorate of potash
lo.engo 1 1 is then only necessary for
him to experience a .slight concussion.
mi h as is produced w hen a man acci
dentally stumbles and strikes a lamp
post, tor an explosion to follow. Tinct
ure of iodine is also fro iiently applied
lo the interior of the throat of a patient,
who j-oon nf to: ward gargles his throat
with :i .solution of ammonia. This forms
a compound even more explosive than
that formed by chlorate ot potash an I
glycerine, -o e.xp'o-ivo. in fact, thatthu
mere vibration of the t ureal caused by
an effort to speak will result in an ex
plosion. As to hypophrsphite of limo
and ox-Itle of silver, either of those will
occasionally explode spontaneously and
when i. unfixed with anything elseJ And
c it is probable that hundreds of peo-
pie swallow thc-e explosives e cry day
in the year.
Any ono of the explosives just men
tioned explodes with such x'iolcncc as
to ro 'uce the receptacle in which it is
exploded to an impa'pablo powder.
Curiously enotigh, such explosions aro
rarely accompanied with any great
noise, unless the explosives are placed
in contact w'th some substance as rigid
as iron or granite. A single scrup'e of
oxide of silver placed in tho waistcoat
of a fat man. and exploded by percus
sion, makes a report no louder than that
caused by clapping the hands, but it de
stroys the fat man so completely that
not the slightest particle of him can ev r
be discovered e ccpt by a e'emical
analysis of the atmosphere. TIfs s:mp'o
experiment, which can be tried by an'
person who has a fat friend, will bo
more c ncluslve as to the effect of oxide
of silver when exploded than any
amount of cxp'nnation could be.
We now sei what becomes of the men
who mysteriously disappear. They aro
men who have taken some explosive
med.eine. A sPght shock, such as a
collision vrith a .-ma 1 boy, or an um
brella carried under the "arm of some
heedless icdetrian. causes the medi
cine to explode, and tho report is so
sPght and the disappearance of the vic
tim so instantaneous and complc'c that
the whole affair passes unnotice I.
Let the doctors Io.k into this matter.
It is one which closely concerns their
prosperity. If tho; are to have tho
good-will and assistance of undertakers
ami confidence ot" the public generally,
they must prescribe no more explosive
medicines. A. V. Time.

large in his thin, -allow face, and hi

like a door-mat.

Mabel had been linking wise ever
since valentines began to be mentioned;
she was planning a Mirprie. On the

cup ed all her leisure tin e for a week to
write, in a very s'ow and pan-taking
manner, on the blank pages "Miss
Mabel Lawrence presents her compli

spend the evening of 1 e'-ruary 1 1 ather

mother, she now added another pretty
valentine to the pile. It wax ad Ironed
to Master Placide Dc Ca-tro.
They were all sent out on the Ktth.
Itut it was nearly a week a tcr the
party when the post "i aster hailed Pla

him his invitation. It seemed a pity '
on the face of it. but no valentine ercr '
