"Yen know the Net Perce * . supple and slim
Sluggish o ! soul and limber of limb ;
Cruel of council ma nnd cald us KB
A tight of one of em will sulGco.
"Up In the Ycllowatono , illck and nrat ,
Near to the tieiers dwelt Paw me 1'eto.
His dam ft tqtiaw and his sire a Yank
Who passed in them | > rts for hall n crank.
"Now , Pete was a chap of the f'arson typr ,
J.Utlp.detcrmiiifd , for tightltif ' , ripe ,
Who seldom traveled without hi * Run ,
And from white man or red could never run.
"Ho had n hut In the Modoc p ss ,
A ledge of mica like colored glasp ,
And ho kept n rifle Ix-nido hif > bed ,
And a brace of pistols beneath hii head.
"Hr skinned lack rabbits for food in spring :
In summer , ho brought down game on the
wing ;
In autumn , Ret for thn moose his snare !
In winter , trapped for the gtinly boar.
"You bet hat chap was n nat'ral rough ,
Whoso L-r i/1 / made h n n wmtern tough ;
A 'brave. Jnrt ncont and part Injun buck ,
Well knd n to 'Kruco for craft and pluck.
"Well , " Jito heard something' of Canby'o
Of pale VJ3 trust nnd rul facr hate ,
And hn" t > re an oath that If o'er the hour
Came fo wventjo , he'd try his powci.
"Uncle tfiin't cavalry knows the wiles

" \V lido i IUK at Mipi > er a glittering eye
Was fixi ipon ' ( in , and Invorodnign
To see \ { , flrop in their wagon bed :
Hut one.i . guard with a charge of lead
"As clp' Ji the canyon crmichodnnd crept.
The bu.wore there , when the settkrs slept
To steal < lco snakes on the quiet rnmp
And kll1 nd scalp by the firelly's lamp ;
"But If it happened they never knew ,
A kettib ojn was watching the crew ,
And whr at midnight a wild wolf'd yell
Awork ti echoes like Bhroiko of hull ,
"A rifle tckod , and n rcdman sank
Downwi ru the blossoms his hot blood drank ;
And m .nd boy from the startled van
With t shooters out at the devils ran.
"Anothc shot , nnd another yet ,
And an ier still , till the flowers were wet
With tl crimson ( low of that Indian band ,
Cut off their prime by n vengeful hand ,
"Andf" hand Pete's , which ho next day
* *
To ono ft theglrli he helped to cave ;
Then * umped a ranch down In Wyoming
When Iw ttio v oiccs of children ring.
"Whon'ver , stranger , you go that way
You'll , r what the settlers have to say ;
'Nob.ror braver man is known
That "wnoo Pota of the Yellowstone. ' "

"Ti * Jo days to think of it ! " mused
Noll1 Jhymore , walking up and dowu
thonttjrow strip of grasi that skirted the
doctor a compact little dwelling. "Three
days before the garden party , nnd then I
shall have to decide whether I shall be
mistress ot nil Oikloigh or the wife of i
surgeon in ono of the poorest piactlces it :
Now York. "
Seeing her to charming in her browr
hollaud dress and nmplo garden hat , will
her golden hair rippling in the sunshine
little caufe for wonder that the heir of hal
the surrounding county bal lost hli
heart to her so far as to entreat her to be
come the lady of Oakloigh hall.

Thcsa who wuro forttmata enough to
be present at the whaif yestordny morn
ing hml the pleasure of witnessing a
etricgd and novel spectacle , n sight tt.i
was out of the usual routine of ovejj daj

his resided joy length of time in Snnti
Barbara knows him ) , the fisherman , ha
n 14-year old ton that manages a ( iehing
smack with BS much dexterity a * an oa
lar that had fol'otrcd ' the eeas all tbodavi
of his life ; and last summer a year ago
when his father owned the sloop Ocean
King , would always accompany him or
sea voyages to Huonemo for cargoes o
oil and grain , and take h s turn at the
wheel regularly with his father , by sc
doing filling the pUce of an iiblo sea
man , Ho can reef and furl sail am
manage a boat In a way that woulc
do credit to old hands at the bnsi
HUBS. Yesterday morning the boy jumpec
into ono of hta father t boa's bent on t
Cubing tour and before he got outsldo o
the kelp ho hooked on to n ten footsharl
that brought bis boat to a standstill
With the nerve of a hero he wont imme-
dutely to work to lucuro Mr. Fish , anc
it was plain ta bo seen that the lad had i
task of no little magnitude. To nsa him
self advantageously ha had to let the boi
dii't ' &t the mercy of Iho waves , and a
once commenced polling on the line ti
which the liah nai attached. Fora wlilli
It was a question In the minds cf roan ;
who were prcsintaa to wLo was iiuste
of tha situation , the boy or the fish. Thi
shark would frequently come to the sur
face , nad , with n sudden lash of its tai
that made the wiUn wild with coraun
tion , would go down into the depth
'if the cc an with lightning rap
Uity. evidently realizing hi
predicament from tha fuss h i
made ia lighting tifrro himself , am
while the line grew ( hotter the tharl
RTOW correspondingly larger in his np-
poirancs. In the course of a few minutes
utos the fish showed signs of becoming
wo&ry and tired , and the work of getting
him to the boat WAS not us creat as fir t
anticipated. The boy's exertions were
finally crowned with success , for when
the hugo monstct was finally within
reach of the lad ho struck him a severe
blow with n larga knife , crimsoning the
water for yards , proviDg that ho was hit
n good ono After receiving the firtt cut
ho fought all the fiercer for n short liui ? ,
but owing to the lojs of Mood ho soon
succumbed. On opening the shark ho
was found to contain nine good sired fish.
Ho was aftsrward thrown overboard , as
their moat is not good for eating pur
poses. They are very dlswtrous to fishing -
ing nets , once becoming ontinglod fre
quently teailng them into thrcds.

1820 , " the old man being ouo of the
participants in the duel that caused the
sensation. To settle n spat that cnmo
of hot blood Gen. Snm Houston , then n
member of Oongrees from Tennessee ,
ami Qcn. White , of Nashville , ngroed
that ou "Sept. 23 , 1820 , " they would
"fight a duel on the Tennessee Hue ;
time , sunrise ; distance , fifteen feet ;
weapons , holster pistols. " Houston got
out of bed nt 3 :40 : a. m. ou the 2d ! ! , anil ,
sitting in his night clothes , molded two
bullets. As the first fell from the
weld a dog named " Qon. Jackson"
raised n triumphant howl under the
window. When the second bullet
dropped a game cock crowed long nud
loud from a neighboring tree. Houston ,
who was superstitious , cut the figure of
a dog on ouo bullet , nud that of n cock
on the other. The principals stood nt
their posts on the second and to the
inch. White's lead cut a whistle
through the sharp air , but Houston
stood unhurt. At the same instant the
bullet with the dog mark passed clean
through White's body , so that a silk
handkerchief was drawn from ono side to
the other. After the duel Houston select
