A most remarkable death-bed scene took E lace in Vienna three weeks ago. Tbe era of it was a soang professor at the nnivcreity there. He was a man of great brilliancy and learning. His lectures con corning the inner life of the soul were famous among tbe students, who visited them in crowds. He was regarded by his fellow professors is tho philosophical fac ulty as tbe coming man in the department cf psychology. So ially, also, he was a man of considerable prominence. He had married into a wealthy family and took eveiy opportunity to get for his wife aud threj children all the pleasure which the gay Australian capital affords. At the theater, on tbe promenade and at the great court balls he was one of the most familiar figures. Four years aKO be fell ill of an incurable disease, and his physician warned him that only a radical change from his gay mode of life could hinder for a short time the prog ress of tbe malady. The young rJrofessor answered quietly that he should die as a philosopher should die, without an effort to deter the last day. He ate, drank, studied, lectured and danced exactly as he did before the doctor warned him. A few weeks ago he lay down on his death bed. He read the same books and talked of the same frivolous amusements as usual up to one evening about three weeks ago. At 8 o'clock tbe doctor told bjm that he would die within a few hours. The young profes sor discussed many topics, entirely foreign to the subject of his fast approaching death with his wife till midnight. "I feel well, very well," he said to her finally, "so well that I would like to drink a bottle of champagne with you before L go. Kiss me for I may go while you are away and then have the wine put on ice." His wife obeyed. A few minutes later he took tbe bottlejfrom the servant's hand, poured out wine for bis wife and himself, emptied his glass to her health, flung it to the loor, and dropped back on his pillow dead. Tho Vienna dailies, which have a consti tutional prejudice against printing the full name of any man of high social standing, mention the hero of this strange scene only as Herr Prof. P . He was an infidel. New York Sun. Was "Stack" en the StJVe. The latest recipient at the Court of Con-, stantioople of the Turkish "medal for art, and of the Mejidieh Order is the mason' who lately put op a Russian stove in the sultan's palace. The sultan had fallen in love with the stove at the Bussian consul ate at Constantinople, and bad a similar structure of briok and tiles ordered from Odessa. The Russian laborer who was sent with it to put it up was a simple, moujik, but the sultan was so delighted with the man's skill, tBat besides a money present of $250, he conferred this "dis tinction."

CHASED BY INDIANS Ota Jim Bridger' Thrilling Ad venture, BY ERNEST IKGERSOIX Wonderful are the stories told about old Jim Bridger, one of the heroe3 of the early West Here are some note3 which I made at Fort Walla Walla, Washington, last summer, and I give them just as they are written down, be cause to rewrite them would be to risk spoiling them. Thursday. To-day a knot of the offi cers in Captain uL's quarters were tell ing stories of old Jim Bridger, whose exploits in this remote West half a cen tury ago placed him foremost among the wild trappers and frontiersmen of that time. He was a man of rather better educa tion than the average frontiersman of that date, and this fact, combined with his natural shrewdness and experienced courage, made him as much of a leader in tbe earlier days as Kit Carson be came in the South; and, like Carson, Bridger figured prominently later on as scout in the military service of the frontier. "In fact," remarked Major A., a griz zled veteran who remembers when there wasn't a railroad' west of the Missouri and Fort Riley, in Kansas, was a remote and dangerous post; "in fact, Bridger first became notorious in an exploit where Kit Carson was a companion. Carson, who was then a rising man in the Southern Rockies, and a good deal younger than old Jim, had joined Bridger in the year 1845, and thev had gathered around them in their camp on Green River, near where the Union Pacific now crosses, some seventy-five free trappers.'' Somebody had the temerity to inter rupt the Major to ask what was meant by free trappers, and was informed, rather brusquely, that they were fur hunters who were not under contract to any one of the fur-trading companies, nor in debt to them so much as practi cally to be their slave?; though, the speaker added, some were really free only because they had run away from their obligations. On the whole, how ever, the free trappers were a higher class of men than those in the employ of the companies. "Somebody in the camp," the Major resumed, "conceived the ideaof making a raid far southward, into the country of the Apaches and Xavajos, and gather ing in a herd of horses. This of course was to be sheer robbery, but as. Bridger and his men were allied to the Bannocks, in whose country they then were, and who regarded the Apaches as enemies, the robbing expedition was looked at as a military foray quite justifiable under the circumstances." The Major went on to say that, who ever proposed it, the captaincy of the raid was given to Bridger, whose Lieuten ants were Carson and an almost equally noted character called Pegleg Smith. They kept their plans as seoret as pos sible, scattered from the camp by twos and threes, as if to go on ordinary trap ping excursions, and thus deceived the Indians around them, so that no rumors could travel ahead and upset their pur pose. Then the party gradually assembled at a rendezvous down near the mouth of White River and made their way all together by night marches through the country of the Utes into that of the Apaches, where they collected no less than 700 horses, by good luck striking an unusually wealthy village the very first thing. Then the retreat was begun. They had to travel slowly, of course, with this large and unruly herd, and it was not long before a war party of Apaches were on their trail. But they were al ways in mountain defiles, where it was difficult for the savages to get around or ahead of them, and the pursuit was for the most part a stern chase. Bridger was equal to- it and fought the Indians in their own style. He would send twenty or thirty men ahead to urge on and hold together the horses while he kept the rest behind to form an ambush into which the pursuers would be entrapped, or to hold some narrow passage until the herdsman had a good start. Then these would ex change places with the advance. Moreover, the Apaches soon found themselves led far into ths territory of the Utes and therefore liable to have their retreat cut off by these traditional foes. So Bridger and Carson got away with 'the whole great band and actually drove 6,300 penies into his own camp. ''What could he do with so many horses ?" "Oh, trade them to the Indians for furs and buckskins and squaws and other needful articles, or sell- them to tbe whites, who were then beginning to travel to Oregon through South Pass." "I am aware that that adventure is a matter of history," remarked another officer, who - had been -listening in sileace, fcbatl have heard another story f Bndger, of which I am not so sure. J wil tell it to yoa as it was told to me by Lieut Bradley) of the Seventh In nutty, some years ago, and you may judge of its authenticity for yourself' This was the story: Even in those early days English sportsmen of title and means were wont now and then to penetrate the Rockies, hunting bear and buffalo and seeking adventure, and they had not only the bloodthirsty wastefulness in their sport which has characterized many of these foreign sportsmen since, but a credulity which was the delight of the old mountain men whom they often en listed as aids. On one occasion Bridger was thus engaged as guide to an English noble, man,, who was pleased with- everything about him except his modest reticence as to his adventures most of all when directly appealed to for an account of some of those experiences which Ids employer felt sure must have been filled with exciting adventures. Bridger persistently parried these requests, but at last the nobleman's urgency con quered, and one night the old mount aineer confessed at the campfire that possibly he had had an adventure or two with "Injuns," that might be enter taining to a stranger, though he doubted it "Trust us for that the party de clared in chorus, and settled dovn to listen to a soul-stirring tale. "Well, you see," Bridger began, "iny partner and I were trapping over to ward the headwaters of the Missouri, on Twenty-five Yard Cree'c, and after a season's work had get together as fine a line of beaver skins as ever went to market At last we made up our packs, tied them on our pack-horses, mounted, and rode off toward Pierre's Hole, where all tho trappers were accustomed to as semble every spring to meet each other and the buyers, who wou'd pur chase their pelts and return them a new outfit. We .ept a good lookout for Indians, for t'lero were plenty of Blackfeet war patties always stirring about; but for some time ye saw no sign, and as we were drawing near tho mountains we felt safer, and began to travel with loss ;;Mion. "That's the very time an Indian is waiting for, and when it conies he means to jump on you. Keep your eyes peeled, and you'll never see an Indian, but the minute you get careless, down they come, and away go your horses and perhaps your scalp, too. That was what happed to us, or at any rate, threatened to, for just as we broke camp one morning the Blackfeot hove in sight, about fifty of them. We were still out on the prairie, where tho cdd3 were greatly against us, but the mount ains were not for away, so we whipped up our horses and rode for them our level best, the Indians racing after at the top of their speed. "We soon found that they were gain ing on us, and finally we had to abandon our pack animals. They carried all our winter profit, and we hoped the plunder would satisfy them, for we had done the Blackfeet no harm and couldn't see what good it would do them to kill us. In fact, we had not then much fear for our lives, since we were well mountedand we might easily have got away from the band, but fresh redskins seemed to come out from every coule to join in the pursuit as fast as the tired fell out Before long, therefore, they began to overhaul us, and finally were within shooting distance. Their rifles made things lively, I tell you; but we joined in the fracas, firing back as we went, and pretty often an Indian fell; but it seemed as though the coun try was full of Blackfeet, and the more we killed the more there were of them, till we estimated them at nigh 200. "Our only hope was in reaching the mountains. There was a coule right ahead of us, but our pursuers saw what we were after, and as an Indian never spares his horse anyhow, now they whipped and yelled and kicked and got all the speed out of their ponies there was in them. At last we were close to the coule and with a yell of triumph each looked back and knocked an In dian off his horse just for. fun, when great Scott! what did we see but an other party of redskins dashing in ahead to cut us off!" "Good Heavens! Mr. Bridger," ex claimed the excited nobleman, 'audyet you say your story isn't worth telling. Why, I never heard anything equal to it But did yon reach the ravine?" "I am glad you like it," said Bndger modestly. "But wait a bit. The best . I AX IS coming, les, we reacneu we mouth of the canyon, for it was too big and rocky to be called a coule, but only by the skin of our teeth, for the Indians followed us in, only about a hundred yards in the rear. The sides were too steep to climb, our horses were becoming badly blown, but yet we galloped on, hoping for something favorable to turn up we hardly knew what. But the Indians kept gaining, the side-walls grew steeper and higher, and the bottom became so rough and narrow, that before long we had to leaveour horses and take it afoot The Indians followed suit, yelling like triumphant demons, for they felt so sure of us that they quit firing, evidently wishing to reserve us for torture. We began to think they would succeed, and strained every muscle to keep out of their clutches, until the blood rushed into our heads under our tremendous efforts, and burst out of our nostrils." "Wonderful!" "Awful!!" Amaz ing!!!" That went around the circle. "Yes," said Bridger, "it really was awful; and the canyon got deeper and narrower, and the sides got steeper, till only a ribbon of daylight was to be seen above us; but worse than all, just where the walls were as upright and smooth as the side of a house, and you could touch with your hands both sides of the canyon at once, the crevice sud denly came to an end, and we couldn't go a step further." "For heaven's sake, Mr. Bridger!" ex claimed the astounded Englishman; "how did you manage to escape?" "Escape !" quietly replied the old hero. "We didn't escape. They killed us right there!" "Do you see that man over there?' said our rural visitor, in the House gallery to another.- "The one who was jes speakin'? "Yes. He was once a famous Know-Nothing.

It is thirty years since she first put to sea from tbe Thames, aud her passage down the channel was marred by a shocking dis aster, the blow-up of her steam apparatus, which cost ten lives; but the laborious ef fects to launch this enormous leviathan, as she was at first called, in 1857, from Scott Russell's building yard at Milwaukee, had been ominous of ill success. Men were killed by the breaking of a gear attached to hydraulic engines that slowly pushed her, broadside on, into the comparatively nar row river, and Mr. Brunei, the eminent engineer, dying a few d tys afterward, was thought to be a victim of sore anxiety and severe disappointment. One service tb!e and honorable perform ance, the laying of an Atlantic telegraph cabta in 1SGG, is set down to the credit of the Great Eastern, but experience has shown that vessels of moderate size can do such work just as well. It is a sad chap ter in the history of marine architecture, and some people mast have lost at one time or another nearly $3,0(50,000 alto gether in this immense mistake. The Great Eastern might, perhaps, have been converted into a very commodious floating hotel, moored in some tranquil bay; she could never have been a good sea goicg ship or competed in speed, comfort or safety with the admirable line of recent construction. Her engines, indeed, were manifestly of insufficient power, and she rolled grievously for want of a. keel. The BlesaincorStrong Nerves Is recoverable, not by the use of mineral seda tives, hut by a recourse to effectual tonic treat ment. Opiates and tho like should only be used as auxiliaries, aud then as sparingly as possible. Vigorous nerves aro quiet ones, and tho most direct way to render tnem so is to re enforce the vital energies. That sterling invig orant, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, will be found all-sufficient for this purrose, since it entirely removes impediments to thorougn digestion and assimilation of the food, bo that the body is insured its due amount of nourishment, aud consequently of stamina. Rheumatic tenden cies and affections of the kidneys and bladder aro also counteracted by th Bitters, uhich is besides a pleasant medicinal stimulant, infin itely purer than tha raw excitants of com merce, which react injuriously upon the nerv ous system.

Some people thought there bad been a shower of worms, bnt none were visible except on the walks. By tho after noon they had all disappeared. The quantity of illnminatin? gas sold in Glasgow in 1803-70 was 1.02'J,000,000 feet, and tbe price was $1.11 per 1,000. In 1887-88 the amount sold was 2.427,f00,000 an increase of 140 per cent., while tho pop ulation had only increased 20 per cnt. The increase is explained by the fact that the piice was reduced in tho last named year to CtJ cents per 1,000.
