" * * * ' London Life of Juno 1(5 ( makes the follow- 'Ing comment upon a beautiful reproduction of a full-length photograph of Mme.

' As hut one great planet rises upon thu hoi-iron in the coursu of a generation , so but ono Mmo. Pattl shines as the bright particular star in the firmament of music of our time. "Mmo. Pattl , for by that name the sub ject of our pictorial supplement is still best Known , ri'shles cbiclly at Craig-y-Nos castle in South Wales. In this 'lordly pleasure liouso' she nnd her husband , Slg. Nlcoliiii , delight in dispensing a hospitality which bellts their beautiful home. Those who have had tlio pleasure of vhiting Cralg- y-Nos , hardly know how to express - press their admiration of every thing to bo seen. The grounds are most exquisitely kept and laid out , while In the interior of the eastlo all thu arrange ments are carried on with a clockwork regu larity which leaves the comfort of no guest uncnred for , though everything goes with ruch case of routine that it seems as though the plaeo veritably managed Itself. In the midst of u scene of romantic clmrni and beauty ono is surrounded by all thu luxuries nnd conveniences which modern science can afford. Ono llnds , for instance , artificial lish ponds full of varied sport for any angler , while gas and electric power g oratcu on the spot give light ami warmth at the word Df command.

M , Thnmton' * Hrccnt AddrcM In Till * Clly. Oscnot.A , Nob. , July 8.-To the Kdltor of Tun BUR : I see tn Tun Br.n of July 1 , nn extract of a lecture by Hon. J , M. Thurston , Which I shall nttortTpl to criticise through ' your paper. " * Drydensays : ITbtng a layman , I ought not to have coneo'ntel myself with specula tions which bcloiigto the profession. " But It seems Urrfft ? If n lawyer has a Heht to preach , n layman has tha right to criticise his sermon. T f As n lawyer anl | m-ator , Brother Thuraton , you are hold In vcry > hlgh esteem , but ns n preacher you are a decided failure. You first try to prove that our secular laws are based on the dlvlnn law of Christianity by asserting that "Jurisprudence is the scloncoof law ; religion is the Jurisprudence ofdtvinoluw , ThodivmoluwofChristianity Is based upon three essential beliefs , etc. " Now wo utlder.staml science Is true knowl edge. Then Jurisprudence would be n true knowledge of law. While you truly say , "Tlio divine law of Christianity is based on bolicf , etc. " any ono can see nt a glaneo from your own showing that our human law is based on truth , knowledge , fact , while the so-callrd dlvlno law of Christianity Is based on faith , or belief. Now wo understand , in speaking of the "dlvlno law , " you have reference to the blblo , for tlioro Is where the Christians got their evidence for tholr bcllofi Now wo un derstand that human law is based on truth , knowledge , fact ; the so-called dlvlno lav Is based on belief. Thcro is a great difference between knowl edge and faith. You say "from the earliest history of thn common law down to the present day not only has the law itself boon based upon the law of God , but all legal forms nnd proceed ings have been so constituted and devised as to continually assert and keep before the public eye his power , etc. " Now to show how untenable this assertion In , lot us compare the two laws. Wo road in God's law , the blblo , that there nro no de grees in tlio punishment for crime. The man that picks up u bundle ot sticks to warm himself on tlio Sabbath has to suffer death , the same ns the man who willfully and deliberately takes tbollfoof his follow being. Human law has degrees in punishment ; dl- vine law says It is lawful to take usury from a stranger , sno Dout. xxlii. , 20. Human law snys it is unlawful to take usury ; divlno law punishes the Innocent with the guilty. Head Gun. vi , 7. What crimes had little prattling babes committed that they should bo pun- ishcd ? Human law considers every man In nocent till ho is proven guilty ; dlvino law says "If any man will sue thco at the law and take away coat , lot him have thy cloak also. Matt , v10. . Human law demands nothing but Justice ; divine law law says "tako no thought for your llfo , what ye shall cat , or what ye shall drink , etc. " Matt , vi , 25. Human law punishes vagrants who won't provide lor themselves ; divine law accepts thu sacrifice of innocent blood us uu atonement for thu guilty. Human law de mands a Just retribution from the guilty , and lets thu innocent go freo. Human law Is based on justice and equity ; where dlvino coincides with Justice and equity it coincides with human law. But again , my dear sir , you enter into tlio arena of debate and ty | to defend the "bo licf" on which you | say the dlvlno law Is based by assorting that "there are two un answerable , conclusive proofs of the exist ence of a God. " " Yimr llrst proof is "Tho routed is proof positiVe of a creator. " Now thu question I arises. What is the meaning of the woud "create ? " Webster defines it thus : "T ) bring into bning ; to form out of nothing ; o cause to exist. " The church gave this delii ition to the word long before Webster's timo. Ho only reiterated the current definition Now , my friend , f you will prove that this is the correct < oHnitlon , then wo will concede ttint your proof is unanswerable. For nothing short of "a creator could create or maku something from nothing. But will you dare defend that definition ? Unless you do your watch theory fulls to tbo ground , from the fact thutihero is a vast differouco between making or forming something out of material already on hand and forming it out of nothing" ' " But for argument's aako suppose wo admit that there is a creator , und that ho created the uni- vcrso of worlds out of nothing. Then in that case there must have been a beginning , ns the bible says "In the beginning God orcatod the heaven ami the earth. " Then the questions como up : vVhat was the Cre ator doing before the beginning , nnd what caused him to commence the mighty plan of creating suns and worlds und planets ? Mil ton foresaw this difllculty when ho asked tho.solemn question , "What cause moved the Creator , in His holy rest through all eternity , so late to build in chaosl" Wo have no doubt but this thought stirred the great mind of Milton to its very depths. Now reason teaches us that the cause is greater than the effect produced. Then wo KIIOW if the unl- verse of matter was crouton by u creator , there must have been a cause to produce that effect. Then if that bo a fact , there must have boon a creator , greater than tlio creator , that created the universe out of nothing. Don't you see you would have an infinite number of creators ? My dear sir , you will have to como to the conclusion the old woman did when she said tlio earth stood on u reck , She got to think ing wlmt that rock stood on , and she came to the conclusion that there was rock all the way down. You pronounce the saying of nn "elcg-int Ingcrsoll" untrue , nnd maku the assertion that "all forms of sun worship , the earliest idolatry of nearly ull races , arose from the adoration of tlio sun , not as u god itself , but thu most glorious representation und adora tion of God. " Now , my dear sir , I presume the Christians will not thank you for tills expression , from the fact that if man has always believed In the existence of God , and all idolaters and sun worshiper..aro adoring their idols as tlio most glorious representation and creation of u God , why Is not the worship of u true God through the Him and other idols just as ac ceptable to Him as the worship of a true God through the Virgin Mary or her Son ? Why do people spend so much money try ing to convert the heathen If they are wor shipping the true and living God , through the sun , otc.t If tlio children of Israel were worshiping the true God through the golden calf , why were U.IXK ) of God's , chosen people put to death ? If the prophets of Baal were wor shiping thu true God through Baal , why did good old Elijah slay 450 of Baal's prophotsr { You make thu broad assertion that "law yors hiivo always boun , nnd are today , ilrn believers in and supporters of the great doe- trine of the Christian religion , " ami then assort that "Judges , attorneys , etc , , are swori in thu name of Cod to do their duty.1' True , my friend , you do tills in the face of a positive command from your I ord und Mus ter to "swear not , ut all.

"It is not the rattlesnake or tarantula whoso hlto IH most dreaded by campers- out on the far western plains. .Tho hunters and cowboys nro far moro afraid of the skunk , and that for a reason that might astonish a great many people who do not know the plains uountrv. " The land surveyor from Now Me.xieo wan talking. A Now York Sun reporter , who was one of the group sitting with him at a table In the Murray Hill eafe , at llrst thought he was "queering" the party , but the surveyor went on in per fect seriousness. "Like the prairie dog aud badger , the bkunk of the plains make * its hole In thn open prairie. In size and markings and characteristics , moans of defense and offense , it closely resembles its' rela tives In the east. Like them , It Is car nivorous , nnd prowls about at night for small birds and mice and insects , and , when occasion nerves , is nn inveterate robber of poultry yarda. If a person comes upon It away from its hole the skunk doesn't ' waste its energies In tryIng - Ing to run away , but impolitely turns its face from the intruder and stands its ground with conlldonco that no ono will oo tempted to approach too near. It is its fearlessness of man that makes this wretched little boast such a terror , for It will boldly enter - tor a tent or come anywhere that per sons are asleep on the ground , and If it finds nothing about that bettor suits its taste , will begin without hesitation to cat at the hand , face , or any other part of a sleeper's person that chances to bo oxpiHcd. This would bo bud enough of itself , for the creature's weasel tooth are ihart ) as knives , and a man man lind ' lilms'elf badly lacerated when ho fully wakes to wiiat is going on. But the mastering horror of the skunk's bite comes from the fact that It almost in- . uriably results in hydrophobia to the , 'ictim. "Wny this should'oe I can't pro- .end to explain , and probably nobody else can toll ; but every plainsman knows It , and the cowboys dread the beast worse than they do the rattlesnake. ' 'Tho period shown by the army rec ords in which the greatest number of tooplodiod from this cause on the plains was between the years 1871 and 1875. During this time many persons were 'ritton. most of them fatally. Colonel II. .T. Dodge of the regular army , who died the other day , know by report of sixteen cases , every ono of which proved "atal. Ono army doctor , Assistant Sur geon Janoway , stationed at Fort Hugo , reported in the Medical Journal cloven cases that ho treated or know of , in ton of which tbo patient died of hydro phobia. It wus in these yours that the bulTalo practically was exterminated , and the hunters and tholr outfits of , helpers , living upon the open prairie nnd sleeping in the open air , were peculiarly exposed to the attaaks of those vicious night prowlers. For four years the plains country was noisome with the carcasses of bulTalo killed for their skins and tongues and loft on the prairie. Gray wolves and coyotes and foxes had unwonted feasting in this vast slaughter yard , and that "ciroum- Btancu may have had something to do with the fact that many of these beasts ran mud , sometimes dashing into settle ments and encampments , attacking every living thing they mot and causing great havoc of human as well as brute life. As to whether skunks run mad , which some plainsmen hold to bo tlio cause of their frequent Invasion of sleeping people - plo , or at least of the venom of their bite , has never been fully determined. But the expectation of nnding incut ready at hand to feast on , with no trouble to themselves , which condition existed twenty years ago wherever a bulTalo hunter had been shooting , might naturally have made them unusually fearless , and made them unwilling to hunt for their natural food when they could find so good a chunco as would bo olTorcd by a sleeping man. "Still , every year numbers of persons are bitten by skunks on the plains east of the Rooky .mountains and west of the ninety-seventh meridian , and some cases prove fatal , but I am inclined to think that there are fewer deaths from skunk bites now than there used to be. Since the country has practically boon turned into 0110 vast cattle range tlio poisonous little beasts have boon killed oil' to some extent for their skins , and the fuct that they are hunted may have made thorn whyor. Perhaps , also , tholr bite is less venomous than in tlio days of indis criminate bull'alo slaughter. "It is now about twenty years sineo the cowboy of the Texas Panhandle made his famous ride for llfo. Hu was bitten by a skunk while sleeping by his camp lire , and reali/.ed all his danger. Some of his companions rumomburud to have heard that 500 miles away , in a town of eastern Kansas , there lived the owner of a famous "madstono , " reputed to possess the DOWOIof drawing thu poison from wounds made by snakes or rabid animals. Night and day the cow boy rode at full Hpee.d for this town and siifoty. At every ranch where ho halted ho found a willing exchange of a fresh horse for his. tired animal , and his journey noy was tireless. It was a race for llfo , and ho won. Ho rcuchod his destination on the third day , the "nmdisioiio" was applied to thu wound , and , after adher ing for days , at luit fell oil and'would stick no longer , und the owner of the Htono pronounced him cured. Whether through this treatment or from natural causes , the wound healed with no further trouble , and he returned to liis herding in the Panhandle with tlriu faith in the madstono und the thunkfulno.ss of ono who 1ms escaped a horrible death , " Balloon ascension and parachute jump this afternoon at Courtland Beach.

BATTIKWITHA DEAR , . m fruntt'i-o r. < f It VIM almost Hundown and two pros- ppotor.i , named Charles Wilson nnd Hurry l'itsonvoro , returning to their Dump with provisions. They hail boon twenty-live inllos to obtain what they hud on tholr horses' backs ami wore Kind they were Hearing camp , where they could rust after tlio hot journey across tlio pining of the Santa Cruz valley - loy In Arl/.onti. f ho sun wa * ] ii3t sinking bohtiul the mountains when they cnmo in night of their touts. Suddenly both howa * stopped and throw up tholr ears nnd commenced to pant , The two mon know in an Instant , that there must bo some sort of wild boast in wight , and btralnod tholr oyoa to HOD what it was. They couldn't see anything , but. their dog ran ahead burking and disappeared behind a tout. A moment later they heard growls and squeals , and hastily tying tholr horses , ran ahead to take part in the fun. But they were too lute , for the beast heard them coining , and when they got to thn plaeo It had gene crashing through the woods with the dog after It. The men both know that it was too late to follow with safety , and , besides , they were exhausted trom their long rldo , so they culled the dog buck , but made up tholr minds to go after their visitor early in the morning. This was all well enough , but they didn't know just what that visitor was , nor where ho hud gono. But It made no dllToroneo anyhow , because the visitor eamo hack before morning and they had all they wanted and only by a streak of luck escaped with tholr lives. It did not take long to cook supper and smoke a pipe full of tobacco , after which both retired to tholr tents , whloli were only a few feet apart. Charley wont to sloop in a few minutes , but woke up a few hours later. What dis turbed him ho nould not toll , and ho lis tened intently , but alt was silent. Ho turned ever to go to sleep again , but somehow felt nervous nnd restless , and at last got up and went to the door of his tent and looked out. The moon was shining brightly and a gentle breath of air moved the branches of the trees , so that the light through the leaves danced and quivered. It looked peaceful and there was not tlio slightest suggestion that such a thing as danger was no"ar. Charley was about turning to go back into his tent when it struck him as.qucor that the tlog was not around , as that member of the parly was always on the watch at night. Ho listened awhile and then gave a low whistle. The dog did not come , and ho knew at once that Koniuthlng must be wrong. Ho then called loudly , and at the same time culled Harry , but only the soft wind moving among the leaves answered him. Now a feeling of fear came ever him and ho felt sure that something had happened that awakened him , but not , soon enough for him to realize it. Ho ran to Harry's tent to awaken him , but found his bed empty. There was no doubt now but there had been trouble and possibly a tragedy. Charley went back to his tent anil got , into liis clothes as quickly as possible , and grabbing his rille went out to look for signs of a light. There was none visible , so ho started in the direction ho had heard the animal go through the brush the night before. Silence was never moro profound and Charley stopped every few minutes to listen for some sound that would guido him in the direction of his missing friend. Ho then commenced to call as. loudly as he .could , but'no answering voice came back. And so ho climbed over the hills in all directions , strainintf his eyes in the hope of seeing something through tlio faint moonlight. Ho had returned to the camp twice in tlio hope that Harry might have come back. On the lust trip there ho looked through his partner's tout and was surprised to sco all his clothes and weapons in their ac customed places. It was plain now that something strange had happened , and he started over tlio hills again with his riilo cocked. Ho felt sure that tlio animal that came to the camp in the evening had something to do with the disappearance of Harry and the dog. This time ho kept in the same direc tion , and had traveled ever an hour when ho heard the bark of a dog. Ho was not sure that it was their dog , but ho hoped that it was , and at any rate ho started in the direction from which the sound seemed to come. The bark grow louder all the time , and it sepmod as if tlio dog was amrry and furious. There were snaps and snaps , and then it seemed to stop , as if ho was chewing something. As Charley got nearer ho could hear tlio growl of some largo boast mingle with tno dog's bark , and ho quickened his stops. Ho stumbled ever rocks and fallen trees and at last came to an open space at the foot of a hill , whore the barking seemed"Co bo. Ho strained his eyes several moments before hu distin guished any moving ( Iguro in the dim moonlight , although the growling and barking sounded very near. At last ho made out a dark jlguro that moved slowly , and ho wont in that direction on a run. A fewhundred yards and ho was in the thick ot the disturbance. Ho saw a grizzly she bear at least eight foot high standing on its hind legs and carrying the limn body of a man in its fore paws. His dog was snapping at the buar'ti'hams , and a well grown cub was near by doing all it could to keep away from the dog. Charley know in an instant that it must bo Harry and that the bear had gene into his tent and carried him elf , and that the dog followed do all it could to nave its master. At lirat ho thought that Harry must bo dead , but ho called to him and got u low moan for an answer. The bear also found out that It had another antagonist and for a moinont stood still , us if making up her mind what to do. U'ho dog saw that hulp was near and in creased the fury of his attacks on tlio boar , while the cub cumo In close to Its mother. Charley was watching his chance to got in a shot with his rillo so as not to put Harry in danger , but it was very dilllcult and ho moved about from ono place to another. At last the old bear dropped Harry on the ground , when the cub jumped on him to hold him down , and wont for Charley , who llred almost at random , us ho was a little surprised at the sudden change in alTalrs. Hut tlio shot took olTcct , for the old bear fell to the ground a moinont , but got up and came to the attack with great fury. Charlie looked ever toward Harry and MIW that ho was attempting to rise to bin foot , but appeared too wonk to do HO. The dog had attacked the cub and kept It from doing any harm. It was too largo for the dog to kill , but ho could "pull its trousers , " a * hunters say , and that Is something a hour will not stand , Ho soon got the cub quite a dlstunco from Harry , when Churlio looked ever und HUW that ho was safe. It was only a momentary glunco , us ho hud all ho could do with the old bear , and know that if uho ever got hold oi him U was all up with him , as bho was in u terrible state of fury. .She had lxoa ; hunod in some way by the iirst shot , and Hurry was looking for a chance to put a bullet where il would do thu most good , but ho did not have much time to select a spot , as the old boar was boon jumping for him , Ho also rommcmood to jump to hoop out o her way , but managed to end sovcrni bulbls Into her Indy , all of which fallod to roach any vital spot. Five times ha liri'd , and the clumsy creature was drip ping with blood , hut It uld not foom nt all Inclined to Mop tint proooedlngs. The moon was now getting low and a black veil was coming ever the landscape - scape , so that Charley could not dlstln- gulsh his friend , but could hoar the s-ninu old sounds of { 'fowling and fltfht- Ing.When When Charley pulled the lever of his rlllo for thonixthsnota fooling of horror came ooihim br-caine it "stunk and would not close. It was too dark to t > co what the dlllleulty wa ? , so ho pulled and jerked at it in the hope that ho might jar It tn o a condition ot working ; but his olTorts failed and the old boar was in ferocious us ovor. But what wai to bo -4 donn ? 7 Ho had neither knlfonor .revolvcrand it would not do to save his own Hfo by running away and leaving his frhmds to certain death. In fact such an tdoii was not In his head for an Instant before ho had clubbed his rlllo and commenced to beat the bear ever the ribs when ho could manage to got in u blow. But ho might us well have struck at a halo of hay. HO IHHo effect did his blows have on the monster. It was hot work and soon his arms got weak , and when ho struck a blow that missed the creature his rlllo How from his bunds and ho was defenseless. The grizzly saw her advantage and made a terrific rush , which Charley could only avoid by lllght. Hut ho did not run any farther than the nearest tree , which ho climbed just in time to escape the ferocious animal's clnws. Things now looked serious , and for several moment * Charley wondered what ho would have to do next , lie know that , ho was wife from the ocar. as she could not climb the tree , and that when daylight came ho would possibly have a chance to escape by running. Hut his partner was in as great danger as over if the old boar took a notion to attack him. But Charley made up his mind that if tiho did this ho would get down and go for Ills rillo and renew the light. But the bear had no intention of leav ing the man that had wounded her and commenced clawing the tree as If she wanted to tear it to pieces. She run around the tree In a frenzy and then , putting her forelegs about it , com menced to shake it as hard as she could. The tieo was ( load and rotten , and Charley could feel it givo. Little by little it trembled and then commenced to shako from top to bottom. . It did not seem possible that one would bo able to move it , but there was a sudden forward - _ j N ward movement , then came a cracking * "C of wood , followed by a crash and Ixsforo Charley could jump in any way to save himself ho had fallen to the ground with the tree. Ho fell from the branches and struck the ground hard , so that he was stunned for moment . , and when ho came to ho expected to find the boar on top of him. That he didn't ' was something of a sur- iriso , but when ho looked around hu ilimly saw his antagonist u few foot oft" , struggling to free herself from the trunk of the tree , which HIO hid ; pulled on top of herself. It was not verv heavy , and she would liavo succeeded In her cllort had not Jharloy picked himself up and got hold of a largo atone that ho held in his hands and struck the bear ever the heud with It. The blow only stunned her for a moment , but ho struck her sev eral times and soon she lay quiet. Ho knew that she would bo uncon scious for several minutes , so he run for liis rille and then went to see how Harry was getting along. Ho found tilings just as ho loft thorn , and wont for the cub , which was still keeping the dog busy. A few blows with the rillo soon put the little follow to sleep for good , as the heavy barrel crushed his thin skull as if it was a china bowl. When the cub lay still the dog did not neom the least exhausted , but went to where the old bear was under the tree to see how she was getting along. She 'was still unconscious , to ho lay down near by to wait until she came to , as ho could toll that she was not dead. Hut this novel- happened , because Charley , as soon as ho saw that Harry wus all right , managed to tix his rille ho that he could shoot with it , and put a couple of bullets into the bear's heart us she lay under the trunk of the tree. This on.dcd the light , and Charley and the dog wont to where Harry was lying and sat down for a moment to breathe. Hurry was very weak , but there woru no bones broken. Ho was scratched about the arms and face , but the terri ble squeezing ho received had bruised his chest and crushed his lungs until ho could hardly breathe. Ho said that hu didn't know what had happened to him tlll ho felt the boar dragging him out of bed and carrying him olT. Ho struggled , but of course it did no good , and had it not been for Charley waking up hu would , no doubt , have been devoured. While they were talking the dog had gene to sleep , but suddenly pricked up his oars and listened. Ho hoard a nolsu and started for a pile of rocks a few hundred foot away , where it was evident that ho found something from the way , ho commenced to bark. \ Ju Charley did not fool much like doing any moro hunting , but ho took his rillo in a moment and ran to the spot. Uut it didn't amount to much. Only a lame bear cub in a very deep rilt in the rocks. Tlio little follow iust about hud room to turn around and could hardly Jiuvo got out by himself , even if ho hud not boon hum * . Charley could have killed him. but concluded to lot him llvo and como after him mmio time. When ho wont back and talked with Harry about it they both agreed that the cub was a brother to the one that had been killed. It was also clear that tlio old she bear had intended Harry as a meal for the youngster and would have thrown him down to bo oaten. Charley obtained HOIIIO water at a water hole near by , and In an hour Hurry wus strong enough to stand on his foot and bo helped homo. Ho Is still siok in bed from the olToct of his hug ging , but is getting better all the timo. Charley wont after the cub the next day , and hois now ohuinod up in front of Harry's tent.
