If you tand here and peer through
ihf darkness vou can ce it all. There
Js the wagon of the lone emigrant family,
it cover weither-wom and rent to prove
that the journey ha been long ami
weary. Ten feet away are the emberi of
the lire on which the evening meal wa
cooked. Belxvcen the wagon ami the
lire is the rude bed of robe and blankets
on which mother and children arc sleep
ing. On the other Hide of the vchiclo
stand the hordes, munching at the short,
sweet grans or listening to the far-off
voice of the wolf.
Thin is the back-ground. In the fore
ground a sentinel aits with Ills back to
the solitary cottonwood. At bin right
hand rutin a little brook at his left H
the boundless prairie o'er which night
has spread her mantle. Fori' feet awav
arc wlfo and children trusting in hf
vigilance. Overhead gray-white clouds
are drifing across the .Mar-lit heavens,
and the moan, of the wind has an uneasy,
nervous-round. Awnv out on the iirairie
ic wolf gallons from knoll to knoll
and snuffs the air, and the coyote gnaws
at the blenched bones of the buffalo, and
utters his short, sharp cries of hunger.
Is there danger? All day long as the
tired horos pulled the wagon at a slow
pace, the emigrant has rarefulh scanned
the circle ulmut him, but without cause
for uneasiness. Ho knows he is in the
Indian country, and for the last twenty
four hours his nerves have been braced
to henr their dreaded war-whoop and
to catch sight of :i band riding down
upon him.
It is midnight as we find him. Ills
ear has been as keen as a fox's and his
eye has not rested for a moment. Tho
Makes are human lives his life with
i no rest. ine onus aro ten to one
gainst him.
'Ah! if we were back at tho old
home in Ohio! You remember the old
farm-house hidden away among tho
cherry and pear trees? 'There is tho
highway, lined with dusty May-weeds.
Half a mile beyond is tho quaint little
Fchool-houso, where tho children
learned their A, It, C. Half mile
above is the bridgo across the '
The sentinel rouses up and ml" his
eyes. It was the creek talking to him.
As he listened to its monotonous babble
it suddenly began to converse in plain
tongue. For a moment he is thrilled
and alarmed. He looks keenly about,
and ho listens with bated breath.
There are the .same sounds the wail of
the eovote tho munching of tho horses
tho babbling of tho brook now and
then a half-groan from one of tho chil
dren sleeping an uneasy sleep. And
now tho brook talks again:
"Thoro was the big urown barn full
of sweet-smelling ha' tho pnsture lot
with its cows the pond in which the
bare-legged children used to wade the
orchard with its bunion of fruit. Don't
you remember how you used to sit on
the rtoop at evening-time and smoko
yourpipo and watch tho children at
jday on the grass? How peaceful every
thing was! There was a drowsy feel
ing m the summer air the lazy hum of
insects tho low songs of the good wife
as she rocked bab- to sleep who, you
sometimes fell asleep and let your pipe
drop from "
Ihe brook babbled and tho man slept,
Ayo! the sentinel who had live lives in
his keeping slept and dreamed, and in
his dreams wandered back to the old
homo and heard tho old familiarsounds.
"Sh!" It was a rustic in the grass!
Turn to tho left a littlo more. Thoro it
is! Thirty feet from the sleeping man a
rattlesnake rears its head abovo tho
grass and looks around. It's eyes gleam
jiko stars. Tho neck swells, tho tonguo
flashes in and out, and it coils and un
coils itself as if in fierco combat. Now
it is advancing now it swervos to the
right now to the left now it halts and
coils itself to strike. It might creep up
and bury its fangs in tho flesh of the
sleeping man, and it will! It creeps
again. It glides through the grass like
a gleam now to tho richt now to the
left now straight ahead.
"S-s-s-h!"
The serpent halts. Twenty feet more
and it could have stntck the sleeper, but
some movement of his has alarmed it,
:-nd it glides away for fifty feet as fast as
a shadow travels.
Now look beyond the'snake! Is it a
recontl serpent worming its way over the
ground to surround the sleeper with
Jenl? Is it a wolf or panther creeping
orward to make a victim? Now you
can see more clearly. There is tho
scalp-lock and feathers tho dark face
the gleaming eves the shut teeth and
tronzed throat ol a Blackfoot warrior.
A courier from one branch of his tribe
to another; he has discovered the equip
ment, circled around it twice, and is
now creeping upon the man, who sleeps
instead of watches.
How softly he moves! A panther
stealing upon a listening doe would not
exercise moro care. Almost inch by
inch, and vet he is slowly approaching.
He was a nundred feet away. Now he
is ninety eighty serenty sixtyl He
can see a dark mass at the foot of the
tree, and he knows that the sentinel
must be asleep or he wonld not be in
that position.
See the rattlesnake! It has faced
about. U it was davlizht vbu could see
a fiercer gleam in its eye a tightening
of the cords and muscles a fiercer flash
of the red tongue. A straight line of
leet drawn Irom tbe Indian to the

Mr. Jenr Enlhts as (.'.
Mr. Jones has hail quite an e.xperi-cnr-
lately. It came uddenly, like the
toothache, and it left the same sort i
indelible impression. The truth i. hi
has been acting as cook. At fimt he
thought he knew as much ns a hole in
telligence office, and he told Mr. .Joo-
fo when she informed him that Hridget
was going away for two weeks to viit
her sister at Kast Saginaw.
We must hare a supply, Jeptha."
she said in a mitii'trrial sort of way.
I hate all I can do with the children
and the fall sewing, without doing any
cooking."
Nonense,M retorted Jones; "etipply
be blamed! Who wants a strange jjifl
rummaging through the house? I'll do
the cooking, Maria! I can cook la-tter
than any woman I ever saw. Kvcr eat
any of niy gingerbread?'
"No, and I never want to,' snapped
Mr. Jono. "I never saw a man that
could cook anything decently yet."
"Well, 3-01111 ee suns now. Let me
;et tip in the morning and get the
ireakfast. I'll showyouabill of fare,"
boasted Jones.
The morning came and Jones got up
early and slipped sofl'v down stairs,
intending to got breakfast ready and
g.Vf
Maria a surprise.
And he did. When the hrcakfast-
b'dl ning she went down and Mopped
in the doorway to feast her eves. Jones
had laid the table with Hrids;et"M ironing-sheet,
and he was rushing about in
his shirt sleeve, with living -uspeuders
and a red and heated countenance,
piling up dishes wherever there was an
empty space on tin: scorched cotton
spread.
"Are we all left-handed," asked
Willie, as he called his ma's attention
to the knives and forks on the wrong
side of the plates.
. "Hush up!" nid the father, severely.
"Sit down, Maria, ami turn tin: eoflcc.
What are you staring at?"
"I was admiring the cook," said Mrs.
Jones, swallowing a pin in her attempt
not to laugh, and she gravely lurncd a
cup of clear hot water out of the coffee
pot.
"Must have forgot the coffine," mum
bled Jones; "accidents will happen in
the lM.t of families. Trv the oatmeal."
"Did vou nth? thrw tith -st boil
-ntli
Mi
it?" a-ked .Sirs. Jones, as she slowly
choked to death.
"Do you boil oatmeal porridge?'' in
quired Jones, an.iously; "I'm Mire my
mo: her never cooked hcr's."
"No!" .-aid Mrs. Jones, innocently;
"then sin' miit have had her throat lined
with porcelain. What are these things"
Jejtlia?"
"Saratoga chip1-'. Maria ; don't you
know potatoes when you see them?""
"Oh! I suppose these, are what you
call aw natural. I sve you forgot to
peel the potatoes before 3011 fried t hem,"
purred Mrs. J.
"When diil Itridget say .she would I e
back?" asked Jones, changing the con
versation. "Win, she has hardlvgot there yet,"
answered his wife. "Slie won't be'back
for two weeks unless her brother Tim
comes."
Jones sighed, and went down town,
where he dined at several restaurants.
It took Mrs. Jones all d.3 at hard work
to get the kitchen back to its norma
oondition, and at night there wa a ver
light supper. Jones announced that he
would have omelet an I hot biscuit for
breakfast, nnd retire 1 early.
In the morning he wasleeplngsweet
lv when Mrs. Jones delivered a red-hid
shot into his nearest ear.
" Jeptha,"' she whispered hoarsely,
"there's tlie lire!"
"Where?" shrieked Jones, sliding
out of bed nnd into his clot lies.
"In -the -kitchen," replied Mrs. J.,
rolling 01 er into a sound sleep.
Jones How to the nearest lox and
turned in an alarm, and by the time he
got back to the kitchen and had torn
up the whole interior ho discoered his
mistake and tried to appea-o the fury
of the disappointed lire department by
promising to set 'em up later. Then
ho took an arnica bath ami went to bed
for a week.
Br'dgot had just reached East Sagi

when a messenger appeared.

gasped, "phat's broken looe now?' It
read:
" Your brother Tim has arrived: hur

When Bridget had redeemed the kitch
en from its two d.ays' spree, she began
to look for Tim: she hasn't seen him
3et, but as she says: "there's the tally

"I havo just let the contract for the

mer hotel to a Journal reporter this
morning. "Tho price is very low, and
there seems to bo no reason whv the
contractor should not make $1,000 "clear
out of the deal."
"How can he treble his money?"
"Because the swill itself is worth ai
least $ 1,000, and then the dishes he
picks out, besides the marked ones, arc
good for foOO more, Whv, do von
know that at one of tbe Coney Island
hotels, where 1 was formerh- employed,
a man was hired for the express pur
pose of sorting over the swill and pick
ing out the dishes?"
"How do so many dishes get into the
swill?"
"You should get into the kitchen of a
large hotel when arush comes. Every
thing goes spoons, forks, knives and
dishes. Generally the silverware is
marked, and so is returned by the con
tractor. The waiters are very indiffer

"Hovr do the drhen work," further

queried the scrile, "bv the trip or bv

"Both ways. A man can git a dollar

git aiout twenty dollars a month. But
hn he works W the day he gets noth

"How long does it take to make a

than comin' back."
"How many trips can a boat make in

"About nine or ten."
"This boat 3011 are driving is loaded
with wheat. How ninny bushels does
it hold?"
" About eight thousand."
"Is the rate of j):itnnt larger this

"Oh, yes. They g't six cents a

" In pulling a canal buut ven hard

"A mule kin aland it better' n a boss.
Take a boss and it only takes a few sea
sons to wear him out. Now 3011 mayn't

been pullinga boat twentj'-thrre 3ears."
" But istt't a mule hanler to drive?"
Wal, 3es; the3 git kinder rambunc

suddenly .shouted to his mule, who was
nl tempting to execute a fandango upon

ca'c'late their age pretty close every

Take n 3'oung mule, and he twists 'cm

he quiets down, and holds 'em kinder

" Dr.vcrs sometimes have a cart be

likely to tumble in the canal. It's a

" Driving nights is pretty lonesome

" Now yer shouting. All alone in the

"Haul up at either end, and get what

" How many men are there on a

fort3 dollars a month. That's the

Then the mule began toclcvate his heel

Ilojal Routine What the Princess
Wales Has te P.
I
There must bo a good deal of same
ness in the nn-al routine, ef existence,
af'er ail. I was struck with this in tho
nark yesterday while observing the
Princess of Wa'es as she was driving
along the sweep which extends from the
.Marble Arch at the Oxford street en
trance to the nark to the gorgeous
statue of the I'linec Consort on the
Kens'ngton side. In response to the
bow aiid salutations of the assemblage
she bows her head, first to the right
and then to the left, continuously.
There is almost no cessation in the ex
en ie. It is part of her duty in life.
And the bow is a stutly a wonderful
medium between listlcssncss and cordi
ality. The features remain quite smile
less: there is no suspicion of the smirk
of the popular favorite of the footlights,
for instance. But the c3es are full of
interest as they light on every passing
face, and it is "impossible to entertain a
doubt that one ha been bowed to. dis
tinctly and directly, b- the Princess.
This :s what so enchants people not
onh- people of a certain position in life,
but the poor people, the hard tollers of
t"ie bus3- town, who stop on their way
to have'a look at the dear Pr'nee.
There seems almost as keen a look of
"merest in them upon her face as she
see in theirs concerning her. No one
can sec her without feeling an admira
tion for her.
But one who looks beneath the sur
face of things must know, although so
well dissemb'ed. that this is only acting
out the royal part. It can not be that
Alexindra realh feels the interest her
features indicate in every passing
stranger who bows to her in the park.
And ".t must be a considerable depriva
t'on to her in the way of talking with
thoc who accompany her this con
stant bowing. Yesterday her eldest

A there seems to be a jresera difpe
titloa to ssjuroe that CftiaeM treof
mut have had otscihlhf to do wkh
the recent-defeat of th French la To
quia, it may be as well to tat
sttch a view U oppened to the fada, aa
that the French hare thus far aa4 oalj
to encounter as oppoaeaU ia Tamqaji
the Annsmcwi aid tbe forces ef the
black and yellow dags. There will be
some curiosity to ascertain who these
latter are. and. a they are Chinese by
race and in appearance. It atay be well
to describe their political state before
thev aro confounded with the regular
Chfne arrav.
The Taeplnjr rebellion broke out ia
the Province of Kwanjrsl. and after ex
tending across China to within sight of
the Capital It was finally overcome by
the joint efforts of the Imperial com
manders and of General (tordon. Is
18-5A those of the rebels who bail either
remained in Kwangsl or who had had
thj good fortune to escaoe there were
exjvelled tbe Provinces by the Emperor
Lieutenants and driven acros the bor
der into Tonquln. They found a secure
plare of refuge in the mountains oa
cither sldo of trie Sangkoi valley, but
far from willing to exasperate the Chi
nese authorities, they .showed a disposi
tion to act in obedience to their behest,
and to carry out their projects. In
numbers their lighting men were
at this period computed at the
thousand. At first Wateong. laid to
have been one of the principal of Tae
ping Wang's followers, was the recog
nized chief of this band of exiles, who
were accompanied by their wItcs and
families. Tho Annamem: troops were
repeatediv ent against these trouble
some and selMorited guests, but oaly
to experience defeat, and In IU6& these
Chinese rebels were In unquestioned
possesion of the rljrht bank of the
Sangkoi above the capital. The assist
ance of the Chinese vicero- of the Two
Kwang was invoked and accorded with
such good results that thee assailants
were expelled from the low-lying coun
try and confined to the upper course of
the river. A division in the chiefship
of the band came almot at the same
moment to give Increased effect to the
interference of the Chinese authorities.
Watson died, and two chiefs wore elect
ed in his it end. one of the original fol
lowers of the Taeping, the others by
those who had joined Watsong in the
hope of plunder or from the iWire to
eludrt the pursuit of juice. The break
ing up of tho association was made the
more complete In the adoption of dif
ferent enigns. and. while those in favor
of an adventurous life retained "the
black llag." the reM. anxious for the
safety of their families, and williug to
como to terms with the authorities both
of Atinain and China, adopted "the
yellow llag" ns their token.
The divi-ion was of a more serious
character than the mere change of
name, for the black Hag were com
posed of the wor-t characters and

from which position it was an cay
passage for him to become the most
trusted officer of Wat song. Hut the
yellow flags were much more disposed
to sattle down, and to lead a peaceful
life. Some of them had neither sym
pathized with, nor taken part, in the
operation of tho Tnepings; and their
chief, Hwang Tsong In. had lwen a
soldier in tho'anm- of Kwangski. The
principal settlement of the black flag is
at Laokai, on the Sangkoi, while that
of the 3CII0W llag is at Haglang, some
distance east and inland of thai place.
Although the blac'c rings were tho
ficrcc.t, thc3ellow flags were the more
numerous, and enjin-ed a superiority
in tins respect which the foraior
could not ignore. By subsidiz
ing the latter the Annamese au
thorities wre able to feel that they
had done something toward insuring
the good behavior of tho former. They
did not refuse, howexer, to avail them
selves of the military service of tho one
or the other, as suited theirconvenience.
and when M. Garnier made himself
master of Hanoi in 187't, it was with an
army largely composed of the black flag
that the Anamese returned to attack
him. Tho French officer did not make
sufficient allowance for their superior
courage, and while making an attack on
the'r position was cut down nnd killrd.
The A una m eso have in the presence of
the same encny now appealed to tho
same allies, and both the black and yel
low flags are again arrayed under the
banner of Tudue in Tonquin. Their
number, it need onl- be stated in con
clusion, have vcr-considerably Increased
since their arrival in Annamese territory,
for whereas the whole band of Watsong
iiumncreu only live thousand warriors,
the black flags alone now muster that
numb r, and the yellow flags perhaps
twice as many more. London Times,

He wa not very big nor very old.
this N3" Jasper, atd it was getting prrt
tv dark, and Ja-per himself wa get
ting unctuumonh hungry. Hut, tnc
ay or other, he did not hurry home as
fast as you might think ho nould. un
der the circumstances.
Hut then he had a gixxl rravm for
not burning.
Ordinarily, he Mould have rushed
home and into the houv cll-mell, and
vociferously announced to his mother
that he was "nungry as a bear, and
wanted .-xjineth ng to eat." Hut ou
don't like to run in the cannon's mouth
to get the ball.
And when Jaer got home tinnlght.
he was pretty uru of gett.ug something
else b-.sidos something to eat. Tlie
truth Is, he expected to "catch it" when
he got home.
iV-rhaps you don't know what "catch
ing it" is. Jasper did, jMrfeclly well
He had had considerable experience in
"catching it," but had never enjoy el it.
This was tlie reason why he fell mi
solemn this evening, and whv he walked
so slow, and why his feet felt so heavy
as he walked.
Hut I must hurry and tell 3-011 hat it
was that Jasper had done, and uow
wished that he had not.
lie had been to the lire, flatly dis-ol-eyed
his mother, and scampered otlf
right before her very eyc.
It was dreadful In Jasper, for, besides

was a nervous woman, and he should
not have helped to make her more o.
She had just Im-cu telling .Mr. Cole
man that it would drive her to the verge
of distraction to havo hrr son running
around between lire-eng'nes, and under
horses' hoofs, and beneath blazing em
bers the w.ny tho.se Warren 1k did.
And la.sper" had heard her tell Mrs.
Coleman this, too or, at leat. he could
have heard if he had listened.
I am not sure, though, that he did
ILsten, for, at tho time, Mrs. Coleman
and Jasper's mother and ,Iasier himself
where all .standing on the sidewalk, try
ing t make out when? the tire wa.
The lire-bells wen; ringing and tlie
lire-engines were rushing by, and a
crowd of men and Ik3.h were tearing
along the road after the engine. So you
can sen there was considerable to take
Jasper's attention awiy from what his
mother was saying to Mrs. Coleman.
Another thing that may have attracted
Jasper was his overwhelming desire to
become a part of that moving mass of
men and lioys.
"Can't 1 go, mother?" he demand
ed, vehemently, clutching at his moth
er's dress. "I'll be sure and not get
killed."
"No!" sn'd his mother, with empha
sis. Let me catch 3011 going, -tr! '
Hut the excitement of the scene le
fore him was too much for Jasper. It
was perfectly maddening to havo to
stand there .stock still, an though he
hadn't any legs to run with, when erc-
ryboih' eNe all the other Inns, atmv.iy
were running as fast as their" leg's
would cany them.
Just here, a squad of little Ikivs, alout
Jasper's own'age, came .sercccning and
yelling down tho road in the rear of a
tardv engine, and then I really do not
think Jasper could have been personalty-
resjKin.siblc for what he did -he took
to his heels, joined the crowd of boys,
and was lost to sight, all in jut about
one .second.
And his mother was screaming after
him:
" Come back here! Ob, vou'H catch
ur
If it hadn't been that she had the baby
in her arms, I bcl'cve she would have
run along with the crowd herself in
pursuit of this rebellious son of hers.
But all this had happened several hours
ago.
Jasper was not excited now, and his
Ecrsonal responsibility ha1 all come
ack to him. It weighed him down
there was so much of it.
And the lire was all out, too. It had
not been such a very great Arc, anvway.
There was so much mokc and so little
blaze, and the firemen had been in such
a hurry to pnt it out.
And then a little short fellow like
Jasper did not havo half a chance to
sec anything, with so mam- grown men
in front of him.
It had not been at all a satisfactory
fire, and then just think of having to
come home in the end and "catchlnz
it!" Poor Jasper! 6
When he got into the yard he thou,
he would just see how the land lav oe
fore he ventured into the house. So he
peeped into the dining-room window
and if there were not the folks just sit
Ung down to a -piping hot" supper!
1 hey had poached eggs and toast, and
repentant Jasper, hanging on tbe window-sill,
thought:
"How good poached eggs and toast
do look when a fellow's Teen and run
away to the tire, and don't dare go In
when he's just a-starring!"
And then he deToutlv wished again

you see; but if he had studied "Mother
Goose' as thoroughly as I have done.
ie would know that
"If wishes were horses.
Begwars atffei rMc"
And that is only a poetical way of
saying: There's no use in wishing.
Jasper looked on hungrily until he
had seen the last egg dtsap'pear from
the platter, and then he feh more
angry than ever. Be noticed that his

Here Is a mysten. In the announce
ments of Sumlax- serxices in the Trav
crr Sat urda3-afternron as a notice
that Rev. Hrook Herford would preach
at the Arlington Street Church on Sun
day, and the text and the subject of the
discourse were given. At the church
on Sunday morning there was no ign
of life except the presence of a number
of persons who waited in vain for the
Church to be opened, and wcr not sat
isfied until it was proved to- them that
as Mr. Herford wonld not reach Boston
from Kuropc for nearly two weeks, his
preaching of the sermon announced in
the Arlington Street Church on Sun
day. September 9. would be an inwo-
ribility. All might have ended there
with the Terdict that the announcement '
was a mistake, but this morning a re-
port appears in the llrrald which be-
gns"
-
"At the Arlington Street Church. In
the forenoon. Rev Brooke Herford
preached upon tie -Christian Vain of
Business Life.' taking his text from
Proverbs xxii:29: -Seest thou a raan dili-
gent in bis busiaejs? He shaU stand
Eefore Kings.' The preacher began."
And then follows a halioluma
port of tie sermon. The advertisement
is easily accounted for. but what about
the report of the sermon? Here is the
