Did you ever meet Lieutenant Colonel Nat Koss of ours? Well , ho is a siileu- tliil fellow, every inch a soldier , and , at tho samo time llio incident eiecurreil whieh I am abou t to relate , was the senior captain of tho regiment. Ho was in command of a company at Old Man ' s (iiile-h . whi n: thero was a miserable , squalid town, boasting of but one street , along wliich the hastily constructed huts and shanties of the inhabitants had been erected. An unusual crowd had congre- gated in front of a groggery, attracting the officer ' s attention, composes! of gam- bh'rs , miners, tlesperadsj es , grousers , sol- diers ami a Bprinlcling of camp follow- ers common to such localities. The cajitain . who was in frontiersman ri ^—slouched hat , flannel shirt and pants tui'keil in his boots—forced his way through lho thron g to ascertain what was tho occasion of the crowd. Two half drunken cattlo tenders , armed with stout formidable btillthongs , had edged into an angle of a building tho tall , lithe but masculine figure uf a young ISioux Indian . Ilo was barely eighteen years of ngo apparently, and, from (hn eag le ' s feather (wistesl in his shirk scalp loeli , was evidently tho son of n chief. His blanket was draw,, tightly around him , 1*13 eyes, black as a raven ' s wing, blazes! with excitement and suppressed passion 11s, silent , erect and motionless, lis- fnceel lho two brutes who, with knives and the keen , cutting (hongs of bull- lii.lt- . had brought tho Indian stripling to buy. much to tho delight of tho low, depraved denizens of llio jilace , who were eternally on the lookout cither for rum or a general row. "Whin ' s the trouble here?" demanded tho cajitain as be strode between tho bullies and their chosen victim. "What are you eloing with the Indian latl?*' ••Wliul ' s that to you ' : *" muttered one of them , who failed lo recognize tho ollicer, so intent was ho upon worrying tin* "durned redskin. " •¦It is this much to me, " replied the soldier iii clear , liu-usuved tones. "Let tho lad alone. Ho is but ono against you all. And as for you , men , retire to your quarters at once. Do you hear?" •¦(li t out of tho way, you rawbonod tenderfoot , or I'll givo you a taste of this," and ono tif them flourished his bullhide in swooping eireles about the officer ' s head. Now, Koss . at the academy and in tho regiment, W;: J * accounted one of the be-st nil around gymnasts and boxers belong- ing to the corps , and his training, with muscles developed liko springs of steel . collided with a stature of six feet in his seeks, mads' him a fos-man worthy of the best borderer that ever handled pick or rule. Like a Hash of lightning tho captain' s arm shot out straight from lho shoulder, line , two antl biff , bang, a yell , and two awkward , clumsy forms suddenly rolled in the alkali dust. Seizing one of the billlthonga tho irate soldier njijilied it vigorously to the writhing forms of tho two ruffians , who howled and cursed alternately as the lash stung their ilesh. The mob howled its approval. The taj)- tain east the bullthong from him , and , motioning to tho Indian tt* follow him. strode toward his quarters without once glancing over his shoulder. During tho entire scene tho youug liulian had not attempted to leave the spot, lh' had watched keenly erery motion of his champ ion , and his swarthy cheek assumed a bri ghter and more vivid tinge. Tcuilering the Sioiuc a silver dollar . tilt - soldier added a few wordsof friendl y advice, bideling liim leave the te-wn , which with its vices was 110 place for him. I' .tit with a rapid gesture tho In- dian s*A- eiit the coin aside and seized tho broad hand of tue surprised captain . whicli he j daced over his heart. Tho lar^e , lustrous eyes t f tho Indian spoke volumes as they gazed straight into the captain' s , nii-1 with the guttural words , "We urn brothers—I shall remember ," turned and stalked rap idly away with- out further -lemoustration. A year rol ' eel by. and the cajitain with his regimen! was on duty in the Yellow- stone valley whero tho Sioux were re- ported as a* **nj" suspiciously, the young bucks OSJH - : -. - 'ly showing a restless spir- it, with al" ¦ ¦ ' ¦. * ¦ indications of their earl y appearand un the warpath. Tho captain had always been fond of the pleasures of the chas. - . and it was while on s trip after frame that he found himself hopelessly entangled and coui- pletely los t amid the towering crests and lofty bills of a spur forming a portion ol tin* Belt range. Debouching upon tho banks of a broad but shallow stream, lie came suddenly ujion an Indian encampment that was on the opposite side. From bis point ol observation the soldier could make out r. number of braves w-ilkin:' . ¦I ' x'- . - . ' . -" , ' . * .Uu> r1_ -it. __ _. __._ f _ ¦ ,__ 11 ni j occasitjnal squaw engag ' c 'l In her *7ur**"* s about thn camp. Hungry , tired and cold , for it was getting late in the sea- son, Koss re solved to secure the fiiendi y offices of a guide, if possible , and return to his command , from which ho h::d al- ready absented himself longer than pru- dence or regulations warranted. Riding down to a jjoint directly oppo- site tho camp ho hailed repeatedly, but no ono within the limits of the array of tents took tho sli ghtest notice of him. Nettled , as well as impatient , at such cool indifference , tho captain foreletl the stream and rode into the camp. No ono sjioke to tho soldier ; not a buck condescended to pay tho slightest atten- tion to Ids inquiries relative to the loca- tion ho was in or tho chances of obtain- ing a guide. Griml y silent and sullen , they turned their backs or retreated within i he smoky recesses of their tepees Ross had been ou tin: frontier for many years, was wel l acquainted with the habits of the savages, understood a vari- ety of the Indian dialects , and was looked upon ns ono of tho most accom- plished scouts and li ghters "in the serv- ice. It diil not require a second glance to convince tho officer that ho was in gravo danger. Ho realized that his jires- enco it, that camp was not welcome, and ho would gave given much to have b een safely back on tho other side of tho broad running stream. But pride ar.d his reputation would scarcely permit his turning hastily from them or at- tempting any movement that could be construed by tho redskins into a confes- sion of alarm or a retreat. Reining tip his roan in tho shadow of a largo tent , ho deliberated for a moment upon the best course to pursue. Bro he had formed any plan an Indian warrior, in full warpaint ansl regalia , suddenl y issued from the folds of tho tepee, con- fronting tho officer with a stern , forbid- ding aspect, "What seeks tho paleface who has como here unbidden?" '•.Shelter , food antl a guide to lho white man ':. Camp," was tho response. Tho Sioux motioned for him to slis- uiount, and , throwing his bridle rein over a projecting bough of a tree , Ross jiasset * into tlic interior uf lho council tent and was immediately made a prisoner , but not bound. Surrounded by numbers of well armed warriors, ho realized that tho slightest attempt on his jiart to effect an escape would result at onco in tbo loss of bis lil ':*. Sitting amid tiie elusky throng he lis- tened to the talk of the council. Iiis fato waa soon elecitlefl. He was to die the next morning at sunrise—tied to a stake anil burned to death , tho lirst offering sledicated to tho opening campai gn , and esteemed particularly propitious as an indication of their success on the war- path , inasmuch as the victim was ono of the despised and hated "Long Knives." Ono by ono the warriors filed out o£ the council , leaving tho captain solitary and alone. No attempt to binel him was made. It was impossible for him to es- capofrom tho limits o£ th camp. Throw- ing himself on :i jii' io of buffalo skins tho prisoner gave himself up to reflection and thought. To dio at tho hands of such miscreants, to fill a nameless grave, his fate enshrouded in mystery—what an ending to his brilliant hopes and aspira- tions! What a finale to his military career! Tho soft patter of 11 moccasin foot and a dark shadow falling athwart tbo rude seat upon which ho reclined attracted tho captain 's attention. Glancing up, ho behold standing beside him a well projiortioned warrior, arrayed in full warpaint , with his tawny locks bedecked with feathers. Silent and motionlossjis a statue, (ho Indian gazed at the office;* for full y a minute , and Ross, unable lo subdue a feeling of extreme nervousness, roso to his feet. "Does the Long Knife remember me?" tho Indian demanded. The captain shook his bead , glancing- hastily at tho hideously painted face be- foro him. His thoughts wero not ujj im bedecked braves just at that time; he was brooding over tho horrible fato which in a few hours would litaro him ill tho face. "The red man never forgets. Listen , for my words aro few. " And jilacing the ri _. ht band of Ross upon bis broad chest , he continued: "Twelve moons ago I said wc wero brothers—ugh—good!" for with a start the incident of the Sioux youth and the two cattle herders flashed across his brain. "1 am the brave—you re- menibcr now; well , liulian remember too. Tonig ht vvhciutho new moon comes out above high peak the best horso of tbe Sioux shall bo outside lodge. Jump through opening and ride for your life. Indian never forgets. " And ero Ross could recover from his surprise ho was alouo with the deepening shadows of aj>- proaching ni ght , all closing rapidl y about him. J Y wiM llui-h cf hope , a rekindling of the old spirit t>f recklessness , took j ,os- session of the soldier, driving from bis heart the dull feeling of despair which had required a tremendous effort, on his part to conceal from his wily foe. Al- though tho chances might bo against him. thi-r. * vi *. -ml,l at least remain a fight- ing prospect—a forlorn hope—that suc- cess might crown tho effort. Ho could at least die struggling for bis lifo, while , bound to the stake, there eould bo 1ml ono termination to it ail* JUS eyes bri ghtened , tbe blood coursed rapidl j through his veins , and he stopped oc- casionally to peer through tho opening, the Haps of which had been carelessly thrown t ogether. One by one tho stars made their ap pearance in tho clear blue heavens, a gainst whieh tho bold , jagged outlines of the mountain ranges wero sharply outlined. Within the camp comparative quiet and stillness rei gned , unbroken save by the occasional yelp of an Inelian dog skulking about the outskirts. Cau- tiously reconnoitering from his point of observation , the cajitain glancetl about him . but could detect no inmate of the camp stirring within range of his vision. His prospects for making a bold slash for liberty were good, and his spirits kejit pace to the fewer of excitement which coursed through his veins like so much liquid ' .ire. Liko a g leam of silver silhouetted against the scintillating background , the thin crescent m oon suddenly shot into view from behind tho shaggy peak. It caught tho eyo of the expectant soldier as ho loite-red closo to the opening, and his heart gave a bound as his highly strung ear detected a slight scraping sound at tho rear of tho tepee. Tht gleam of a keen kni fo glittered for a moment iu the uncertain li ght as it silentl y but rajriell y cut its way through the buffalo skins, and Ross realized that tl.e Sioux had kept his faith—had per- formed all that was possible for him to accomplish, aud the balauee remained with himself. His nerves were brncsj d liko steel as ho prepares! for the supreme effort. Delay- ing a moment to enable tho Inelian to make good his escape , tho captain , with his heart beating fast and furious, sprang lightly through tho slot , found himsel f beside a magnificent specimen of horseflesh , vaulted onto his back, plied tho spurs , and with tho speed of a whirlwind rushed from between the tents, through tho encampment , scatter- ing tho countless Indian slogs right _and left as ho galloped stralgnt for the river ford. Thero was a savage yell of astonish- ment and alarm, a ringing shot , a pack of howling dogs snapping at his mettle- some charger ' s heels, followed by a few straggling rifle shots as tho startled braves sprang forth, scarcely realizing that their victim had eluded their grasp. In a trice the entire camp was aroused; each tepeo had been emptietl of its occu- pants, whilo a score of dusky figures , shouting liko demons, leaped on to their horses , starting in hot pursuit of the prisoner, who had disappeared in the dark shadows of the overhanging hills. Giving his steed the rein , ho reached (ho opposite sido of tho river unscathed. Then for the first time , in tho excitement and hurry attcneling his flig ht , tho sol- dieT noticed strappctl to tho neck of his horse was a Winchester repeating rifle. One glance sufficed to assure him that it was reatl y for use, for fortunately, per- haps, ho had no occasion to uso it ujion his pursuers. It required no urging from him for tho noble animal to put forth its best ef- forts , anil with tho speed of a bird the sjiirited horse (low onward , easily dis- tancing tho hordo of yelling pursuers. Across tho sand y, level plain, through sagebrush and stinging nettles, winding about tho base of outlying hills, the caji- tain pursued his way, anel ero daylight dawned all sound of pursuit hael died away, leaving tho fugitive surrounded by the valleys and risings of tho lofty mountain range. It v. -as three days beforo ho strack a familiar trail leading to Gomez pass , and both horso cud rider were well ni gh ex- hausted beforo they finally succeeded in gaining camp. It was a joy ful reunion , for Ross hail been given up as dead by his companions , with whom ho was de- servedl y popular. Thero was no timo lost by tho com- mand in following up tho war band of Sioux , but tho wily, subtle game had fled , and when tho river ford was reached by tho cavalrymen tho Indians had dis- ajiper.red. But Ross still retains that horse , and I doubt if thero is gold enough in tho bowels of tho Black Hills to win him from his owner.—Captain,H. D. Smith in Truo Flag.

Copyright , 1803 , by American Press Associa- tion. Book richts reserved. ! FhW minutes aft- er sunset on June 30 , 1853 , the people of San Juan del Sur, the Pacific port of the Transit route across Nio- aragua, beheld a party of forty-five men in American costume , somo bareheaded , others barefooted, many of them wounded and all of them travel worn and battle stained , with smoko begrimed rifles slung at their hips, file through the streets and toko up quarters in an old barrack on tho beach. Without halting a meager de- tail took possession of all sailing craft in the harbor, even to a schooner under the Costa Rican flag that hnd just cast anchor. The soldiers—for such they were—who thus took liberty with whatever could serve their purpose in San Juan constituted the American phalanx in the service of the pro- visional Democratic government of Nica- ragua. They hail just marchedaday' s jour- ney from the battlcfieltl of Rivas, a town near tho west shore of Nicaragua lake, where they alone had battlesl nearly four hours against 000 Legitimists. Originally mustering 50—an army no larger than is often marshaled on tho mimic stage—0 had been killed and 5 disabled antl captured. The battle of Rivas was the opening trag- edy in the bloody drama of Walker ' s Nica- raguan campaign. Walker and 55 com- panions liinsie** t from California June 11, and ten days later enlisted in tho Demo- cratic or revolutionary service. Walker was colonel of tho phalanx , Achilles Keiren lieutenant colonel nnsl Timothy Crocker major. The attack on Rivas had been ordereel by the provisional government as the first step in the renewal of hostilities in the civil war just then languishing for lack of " sand" in tho Democratic camps. Rivas coutr. -illetl tho Transit route where Walker expected to gather recruits from travelers crossing llie isthmus. It held the enemy's treasure box , for there a tax on Transit fares was paid to the strongest claimant , ami an attack made there carrisj d the- war away from the impoverished dis- tricts of llie I)t-ineci-;ii.!*. The hitter held only a few towns in tho narrow coast s' .ri p on the* northern border of the state adjoining Honduras , the de- partment whero the revolution start etl . two years before Walker' s arrival. Nicaragua , as a whole , was Legitimist by musket rule. The Democrats had neither soldiers, money nor heart for t he stru*^flo, A contingent s-r * 100 natives bad marches! on Rivas tvitli the Americans and stampedcsl at the first, fire , leaving the fifty-six aliens alone to cope with odsj s of ten to ' one. Tho p halanx fought its way into Rivas. Jveivcn sniil Crocker and 4 others were killed aud 1(5 woundesl , of whom II escaped, when the survivors cut s * path of retreat to San Juan. Tho rifles of tho Americans knocked over 180 Legitimists, and almost to a man the victims were shot through the head. Tho Americans liad sailed to San Juan originally in theirown schooner, the Vesta. Sho disappeared sluring tho fight at Rivas. and the San Jose wns impressed to trans- port them back to Leon , the seat of the Democrats in tho north. The Costa Ricans, whose flig tho San Jose sailed under, favored tho Legitimists, and defiance of their colors boded no good to the aliens. The revolutionary populace of Leon was astounded nnel overjoyed at the prowess of the phalanx. But tho admiration was a trifle ono sidetl. The Democrats had an army—on paper—and a general in chief— one Munoz. A report reached the Ameri- cans to the effect that the Legitimist com- mander at Rivas had been warned of the attack of June 20 by a German who left the Democratic camp shortly before under a passport si gned by Munoz. Walker In- sisted that Munoz be called to account for treachery, but tho Democratic director hadn't the nerve to break with Munoz. GEN. WILLIAM WALKER Just at the time there was a reign of tei* *- ror in the Democratic cities, owing to the approach of a bosl y of Legitimists under *t Costa Rican general names! Guardiola , who was knoivn as the "Butcher of Central America. " Munoz marched out with GOO Democrats to engage Guardiola, Walker and his tnen refusing to serve under him. The director and people chuckled in secrecy over the mutiny of the aliens because they preferred to have the American rifles on hand to protect their homes and persons. Munoz met Guanliolasuid defeated him , but was broug ht home on a bier. Two obstacles being removed, the Americans started once morsj for the southern department to re- gain the Transit route and revenues. The phalanx had gained but two Ameri- s»n recruits in Nicaragua , nnd though little was expected of native Democrats in way of fi ghting Walker asked for a detachment with a competent leader. A volunteer came forward who had not only shouted but actually smelted powder nnd shed the blood In the revolutionary cause—one Cs,l. V-iUe. VaJlcdrummed tip 1SG native vol- unteers — Walker would have no con- scri pts—nr.tl as soon as the party was out of sigh t of the Democratic capital , although he was a warm personal friend of the in- cumbent tlireetor , he proposesl to set up an- other government with Walker at tho head Walker declined. The force reach ed San Juan and marched to tlio lake port of Rivus, Virgin Bay, Sept. 8. Guardiola was at Rivas with 000 men and attacked Walker , completely surround- ing his camp with superior numbt-rs. The phalanx wns divided into squads, with ten natives to each , and in st two hours' battle Guardiola was routcsl with a loss of 100 men. The Democrats lost 14 wounded. The long range marksmanship of the phalanx had again astonished tho natives , and G uardiola 's followers scattered to the moun- tains. After Walker ' s victory over Guardiola he decided to attack Granada, the I*egiti- mist stronahold in the center of the coast stri p and midway between Walker' s posi- tion at Virgin Bay and the Democratic stronghold at Leon. In a military pom' of view Granada was tho Sevastajj ol of Nicaragua, nnd a year liefore had stood a siege of six moiaths by Democratic forces. It contained 15 , 000 inhabitants and waa the finest city in Central America , a creation of the old Spanish settlers. Tho phalanx was recruited up to 250 men by companies of tho same stamp as tho original 06. CoL Voile' s natives also increased to about 300. Granada was near tbe lake and was guarded by a fort on the water aide. The Democrats sailed to the point at night , landed nnder cover of elirkness and picked their way stealthily, tbe phalanx marching ,In front, as usual. Tho outskirts at the city were reached about sunrise, and a peal p. ! bens ourst trom tne towers of the gray old cathedral and the churches here and there: The assailants supposed that sentinels were ringing alarm bells calling to arms and quickened their steps, the phalanx scaling a barricade in front of the chief plaza with their thrilling western worwhoop. But the garrison of the town was trifling; a few were killed , and the rest ran away. The fort beyond the town mounted three cannon and was mantled by 40 men. A charge by 25 Americans drove the garrison to their boats; and in a twinkling Granada —venerable, haughty, aristocratic Granada —was revolutionized. A decidedly new role was then forced upon the Americans by the conduct of their allies. To kill and rob tho enemy is tho time honoretl privilege of tho victors in Central America , and Or? O' KEAL' S CnATCE. Valle' s men set out to sack the town. Even Vallo lost his head when ho saw a couple of his bitter enemies, who wero high in tho Legitimist councils, walking about under the safeguard of the phalanx. The result of the takinu of Granada was a treaty between the Legitimists and Dem- ocrats. jVll of the Legitimist forces marched to Granada and grounded arms in the pres- enceof tho Americans. Anew government was formetl untler President Rivas, a Lcon- ese, with Walker as commander in chief. The star of the Americans went up to zen- ith; thanksgivings and jubilees were cele- brated; the conservative church party hailesl the new order of things, nnd tho Americans were everywhere treated as the liberators ot the people. Every steamer from San Francisco car- ried out adventurers to swell the phalanx, and tho end of 1833 found 2, 000 of tho best fighting men in tho world under arms in Nicaragua. jVnd they wero soon put to the test. The Legitimist commander . Gen. Corral , broke the solemn oath he hatl mado with Walker in the old cathedral of Gran- ada when tho treaty was signed nnd in- vited foreign soldiers into the country to oust tho Americans. Ho was promptly tried and put to death. Tho charter of tho Nicaragua!! Canal company, which was owned in New York city, was annulled by tho Rlras-Walker governmen t , and tho United States refused to recognize tho new regime. Costa Rica jilucked up courage to follow suit , snubbeil the Nicaraguan em- bassador and put 0, 000 men untler arms "to slrive tho foreign invader " from the soil of Nicaragua. The Costa Ricans cnteresl the department so recently subjugated by American arms, sacked the towns of San Juan nnd Virgin Bay, robhctl and murdered many helpless ulient* nnd seized tho town of Rivas. Wnlk- er was at Granatin with 400 Americans and 100 natives. Under pretext of invad- ing Costa Rica ho sailed to tho port off Rivas in the ni ght , surrounded the town , and at daylight the phalanx with a whoop and a yell rushed Into grand plaza. Four hours of slcsperat e street fi ghting resulted in a draw, and Walker callesl off his men. The Costa Ricans lost nearl y 000 killed aud wounded and Walker ' s force 110. Although boasting of victory, tho Costa Ricans left the country, and the United States recognized the young republic. The next step was a revolution by native* against the Americans. Walker was elected president of the government party, aud tho seceders, combining «with tho soldiers of Guatemala, Costa Rica and San Salvador, made war upon the dominant aliens. Tho Americans mustered 1 ,000 men nt Granada. After four desperate battles In October nnd November , 1850, Walker gnve orders to de- stroy the place and retreat. In tho midst of the confusion the allies sprung an attack and rushed into tho burning streets from three directions. At one point a body of 500 burst into view of tho Americans at tho head of a street occupied by Maj . Calvin O'Neal' s rifles. O'Neal called around him thirty- two of his best men , leaped on Ids horse sans coat , sans shoes, antl rode at the host In front of him. His followers, its mad ns himself , closed in and in a few minutes lit- erally blocked tho street with tho dead , who fell by scores in front of the American rifles. The next day nnd tho next, equally daring feats were many times repeated , but the odds were enormous, antl the Americans, who ut tho start numbered only 419, were hemmed in. A siege of twenty days followed, ("holcra broke out and carried off 120 of tho aliens , 110 fell in battle nnd 42 were captured. So fierce wero the Americans in pushing an attack that the nllies gave up position after position without a blow, anil finally Walk- er' s men carried the fort , cut a road through the lake shore and reached Rivas. Skir- mishes, actions and battles then took place almost weekly on sea anil land. The Amer- icans were virtuall y surrountled and fight- ing for dear life. The slaughter of the nllies was appalling. Their soldiers were made drunk und urged upon the American barri- cades with the lash. One dead Americnn mennt CO or 70 dead enemies, it soon became only a question of extermination for both parties , ansl about the middle of April , 1857, the seventh month of stssuly fi ghting , the United States ansl British naval officers prevailed upon the Americans to leave Nicaragua under a safe consluct to Panama. The garrison of Rivas then mustered 337 Americans, of whom one-half wero wounded , and 40 na- tives. GEOHG E L. KILMER. ffft , glaiJora Bttb gfatirt. *' Do Fairs Fay !

"What now!' " I asked. "I bail a friend , a physician from Con- necticut , call on ine tho other day. On one of his tramjia about town he hatl strayed down in the Tenth ward , wliich is boundeel by Division , Rivingtou and Norfolk streets and the Bowery.

There may be a dozen houses in which less than three families live, but most of tho dwellings are double decked tenements, holding from twenty to sixty families to the house. Children swarm liko bees , and it is jirobably the most densely populated spot in the United States , perhaps tho globe. My friend thought that tho mortuary record must bo frightful. ' 'When I toll! him that it was about tho most healthful district in New Y'ork , " and with nearly tho lowest sleath rate of any ward , ho would scarcely belie vo me. Tako tho Nineteenth ward , between For- tieth and Ei ghty-sixth streets , east of Sixth avenue, which is mamly filled with tho homes of the rich and well to do, the death rate is 21.83, while in tho Tenth it but 18.73.

It is said that whilo in Mexico, at Vera Cruz , they arranged to Bail north along tho Atlantic coast to New York. Whilo waiting for tho steamer Mr. Haggard took a small coasting boat and made several voyages np and down tho Mexi- can seaboare! in search of curiosities anel traditions, antl became so interestesl that he forgot tho fli ght of time and the sail- ing day of his vessel. Mrs. Haggard thought her husband hael been captured for a ransom , but with the courage so characteristic of her felt certain that ho would turn up all right somewhere; so when the steam- er was rt-adj' to sail for New York she went aboard and proceeded on her waj- . When Mr. Haggard reached Vera Cruz antl found neither steamer nor wife hc took tho railroad , and as fast as steam coul d tako him returned to New York.

They took domestic animals Ij&nd birds of various kinels along with - them for the purpose of taking notes on the effect which tho extreme cold and rarified air would have on such creatures. ' •They were also well provided with various scientific instruments and other suitable apparatus.

Tho powerful Tartar and "Mongol hordes, whoso sudden raids and invasions it was built to resist , are , 'HO more to be feared.

Archibald Price, ono of the pioneer settlers of Kanawha valley, West Vir- ginia, was making maple sugar in a grove across tho river from his house, when he caugh t sight of threo Insjuans i>j £ulking in the vicinity. "The var- mints!" he said to himself. "So they mean to pounce on me when I' ve two pails o ' sap aboard. " He was just starting for some of the more distant trees. Of course he changed his purpose on the instant , but he was quick witted enough to give no sign of the fact , and for a few moments busied himself about the boiling place, whistling merrily. If he set off aerosss tho river in Itis canoe, the Indians would pursue and shoot him. He had a brother who was a sea diver. From him he had learned something about diving bells, and he now took a sndden resolve to make his kettle serve him in that capacity. Ho emptied it , but in such a way that an observer at a little distance would have supposed he was filling it frc m a tub standing near. As soon as it was emptied he lifted it quickly, and hurris-d down the river bank, where he raised it, in an inverts-d position, over his head, the rim resting on his shoulders, and walked into tho water. The bank was steep, and the water was soon up to his shoulders. Keeping a firm hold of the kettle, he proceeded. The water got deeper and deeper until it was several feet over the top of tho kettle. Tho foprovised diving bell answered its purpose excellently, supplying air for him to breathe until he emerged on the home side of the river. So Mr. Price saved himself and his iron kettle from falling into the hands of the savages. —Youth's Companion. A Novel Diving Boll.

Did you ever meet Lieutenant ColonelNat Koss of ours? Well, ho is a siileu-tlii l fellow, every inch a soldier, and, attho samo time llio incident eiecurreilwhieh I am abou t to relate, was thesenior captain of tho regiment. Ho wasin command of a company at Old Man's(i i i le-h . whi n: thero was a miserable,squalid town, boasting of but one street,alongwliich the hastily constructed hutsand shanties of the inhabitants had beenerected. An unusual crowd had congre-gated in front of a groggery, attractingthe officer 's attention, composes! of gam-bh'rs , miners, tlesperadsjes, grousers, sol-diers ami a Bprinlcling of camp follow-ers common to such localities.

The cajitain . who was in frontiersmanri ^—slouched hat, flannel shirt and pantstui'keil in his boots—forced his waythrough lho thron g to ascertain whatwas tho occasion of the crowd.

Two half drunken cattlo tenders,armed with stout formidable btillthongs,had edged into an angle of a buildingtho tall, l i the but masculine figure uf ayoung ISioux Indian . Ilo was barelyeighteen years of ngo apparently, and,from (hn eagle's feather (wistesl in hisshirk scalp loeli, was evidently tho sonof n chief.

His blanket was draw,, tightly aroundhim , 1*13 eyes, black as a raven's wing,blazes! with excitement and suppressedpassion 11s, silent , erect and motionless,lis- fnceel lho two brutes who, with knivesand the keen, cutting (hongs of bull-lii.lt- . had brought tho Indian striplingto buy. much to tho delight of tho low,depraved denizens of llio jilace , who wereeternally on the lookout cither for rumor a general row.

"Whin 's the trouble here?" demandedtho cajitain as be strode between thobullies and their chosen victim. "Whatare you eloing with the Indian latl?*'

••Wliu l 's that to you':*" muttered oneof them , who failed lo recognize thoollicer, so intent was ho upon worryingtin* "durned redskin."

• ¦I t is th is much to me," replied thesoldier iii clear , liu-usuved tones. "Lettho lad alone. Ho is but ono against youall. And as for you , men , retire to yourquarters at once. Do you hear?"

•¦( li t out of tho way, you rawbonodtenderfoot, or I'll givo you a taste ofthis," and ono tif them flourished hisbullhide in swooping eireles about theofficer 's head.

Now, Koss. at the academy and in thoregiment, W;:J* accounted one of the be-stni l around gymnasts and boxers belong-ing to the corps, and his training, withmuscles developed liko springs of steel.collided with a stature of six feet in hisseeks, mads' him a fos-man worthy of thebest borderer that ever handled pick orrule.

Like a Hash of lightning tho captain'sarm shot out straight from lho shoulder,l ine , two antl biff , bang, a yell, and twoawkward , clumsy forms suddenly rolledin the alkali dust. Seizing one of thebilllthonga tho irate soldier njijilied itvigorously to the writhing forms of thotwo ruffians, who howled and cursedalternately as the lash stung their ilesh.The mob howled its approval. The taj)-tain east the bullthong from him , and ,motioning to tho Indian tt * follow him.strode toward his quarters without onceglancing over his shoulder.

During tho entire scene tho youugliulian had not attempted to leave thespot, lh' had watched keenly ererymotion of his champion, and his swarthycheek assumed a brighter and moreviv id tinge.

Tcuilering the Sioiuc a silver dollar .tilt-soldier added a few wordsof friendlyadvice, bideling liim leave the te-wn ,which with its vices was 110 place forhim. I'.tit w i t h a rapid gesture tho In-dian s*A-eiit the coin aside and seized thobroad hand of tue surprised captain .whicli he jdaced over his heart. Tholar^e , lustrous eyes t f tho Indian spokevolumes as they gazed straight into thecaptain's, nii-1 with the guttural words,"We urn brothers—I shall remember,"turned and stalked rapidly away with-out further -lemoustration.

A year rol 'eel by. and the cajitain withhis regimen! was on duty in the Yellow-stone valley whero tho Sioux were re-ported as a* **nj" suspiciously, the youngbucks OSJH- : -.-'ly showing a restless spir-it, with al" ¦ ¦'¦.*¦ indications of their earlyappearand un the warpath.

Tho captain had always been fond ofthe pleasures of the chas.-. and it waswhile on s trip after frame that he foundhimself hopelessly entangled and coui-pletely lost amid the towering crests andlof ty bills of a spur forming a portion oltin* Belt range.

Debouching upon tho banks of a broadbut shallow stream, lie came suddenlyujion an Indian encampment that wason the opposite side. From bis point olobservation the soldier could make out r.number of braves w-ilkin:' .¦I 'x'-.-.'. -",'.*.Uu>

occasitjnal squaw engag'c'l In her *7ur**"*sabout thn camp. Hungry, tired andcold , for it was getting late in the sea-son, Koss re solved to secure the fiiendiyoffices of a guide, if possible , and returnto his command, from which ho h::d al-ready absented himself longer than pru-dence or regulations warranted.

Riding down to a jjoint directly oppo-site tho camp ho hailed repeatedly, butno ono within the limits of the array oftents took tho slightest notice of him.Nettled , as well as impatient, at suchcool indifference, tho captain foreletl thestream and rode into the camp.

No ono sjioke to tho soldier ; not a buckcondescended to pay tho slightest atten-tion to Ids inquiries relative to the loca-tion ho was in or tho chances of obtain-ing a guide. Grimly silent and sullen,they turned their backs or retreatedwithin i he smoky recesses of their tepees

Ross had been ou tin: frontier for manyyears, was well acquainted with thehabits of the savages, understood a vari-ety of the Indian dialects, and waslooked upon ns ono of tho most accom-plished scouts and lighters "in the serv-ice. It diil not require a second glanceto convince tho officer that ho was ingravo danger. Ho realized that his jires-enco it, that camp was not welcome,and ho would gave given much to havebeen safely back on tho other side of thobroad running stream. But pride ar.dhis reputation would scarcely permithis turning hastily from them or at-tempting any movement that could beconstrued by tho redskins into a confes-sion of alarm or a retreat.

Reining tip his roan in tho shadow ofa largo tent , ho deliberated for a momentupon the best course to pursue. Bro hehad formed any plan an Indian warrior,in full warpaint ansl regalia , suddenlyissued from the folds of tho tepee, con-fronting tho officer with a stern , forbid-ding aspect,

"What seeks tho paleface who hascomo here unbidden?"

'•.Shelter, food antl a guide to lho whiteman ':. Camp," was tho response.

Tho Sioux motioned for him to slis-uiount, and, throwing his bridle rein overa projecting bough of a tree, Ross jiasset *into tlic interior uf lho council tent andwas immediately made a prisoner, butnot bound. Surrounded by numbers ofwell armed warriors, ho realized thattho slightest attempt on his jiart to effectan escape would result at onco in tbo lossof bis lil ':*.

Sitting amid tiie elusky throng he lis-tened to the talk of the council. Iiis fatowaa soon elecitlefl. He was to die thenext morning at sunrise—tied to a stakeanil burned to death , tho lirst offeringsledicated to tho opening campaign, andesteemed particularly propitious as anindication of their success on the war-path , inasmuch as the victim was ono ofthe despised and hated "Long Knives."

Ono by ono the warriors filed out o£the council, leaving tho captain solitaryand alone. No attempt to binel him wasmade. It was impossible for him to es-capofrom tho limits o£ th camp. Throw-ing himself on :i j ii'io of buffalo skins thoprisoner gave himself up to reflectionand thought. To dio at tho hands ofsuch miscreants, to fill a nameless grave,his fate enshrouded in mystery—what anending to his brilliant hopes and aspira-tions! What a finale to his militarycareer!

Tho soft patter of 11 moccasin foot anda dark shadow falling athwart tbo rudeseat upon which ho reclined attractedtho captain's attention. Glancing up,ho behold standing beside him a wellprojiortioned warrior, arrayed in fullwarpaint, with his tawny locks bedeckedwith feathers. Silent and motionlossjisa statue, (ho Indian gazed at the office;*for fully a minute, and Ross, unable losubdue a feeling of extreme nervousness,roso to his feet.

"Does the Long Knife remember me?"tho Indian demanded.

The captain shook his bead , glancing-hastily at tho hideously painted face be-foro him. His thoughts wero not ujj imbedecked braves just at that time; hewas brooding over tho horrible fatowhich in a few hours would litaro him illtho face.

"The red man never forgets. Listen,for my words aro few. " And jilacing theri_ . ht band of Ross upon bis broad chest ,he continued: "Twelve moons ago I saidwc wero brothers—ugh—good!" for witha start the incident of the Sioux youthand the two cattle herders flashed acrosshis brain. "1 am the brave—you re-menibcr now; well, liulian remembertoo. Tonight vvhciutho new moon comesout above high peak the best horso oftbe Sioux shall bo outside lodge. Jumpthrough opening and ride for your life.Indian never forgets." And ero Rosscould recover from his surprise ho wasalouo with the deepening shadows of aj>-proaching night , all closing rapidly abouthim.

JY wiM llui-h cf hope, a rekindling ofthe old spirit t>f recklessness, took j ,os-session of the soldier, driving from bisheart the dull feeling of despair whichhad required a tremendous effort, on hispart to conceal from his wily foe. Al-though tho chances might bo againsthim. thi-r. * vi*.-ml,l at least remain a fight-ing prospect—a forlorn hope—that suc-cess might crown tho effort. Ho couldat least die struggling for bis lifo, while,bound to the stake, there eould bo 1mlono termination to it ail* JUS eyesbrightened , tbe blood coursed rapidljthrough his veins, and he stopped oc-casionally to peer through tho opening,the Haps of which had been carelesslythrown together.

One by one tho stars made their appearance in tho clear blue heavens,against whieh tho bold , jagged outlinesof the mountain ranges wero sharplyoutlined. Within the camp comparativequiet and stillness reigned, unbrokensave by the occasional yelp of an Ineliandog skulking about the outskirts. Cau-tiously reconnoitering from his point ofobservation , the cajitain glancetl abouthim. but could detect no inmate of thecamp stirring within range of his vision.His prospects for making a bold slashfor liberty were good, and his spiritskejit pace to the fewer of excitementwhich coursed through his veins like somuch liquid '.ire.

Liko a gleam of silver silhouettedagainst the scintillating background, thethin crescent moon suddenly shot intoview from behind tho shaggy peak. Itcaught tho eyo of the expectant soldieras ho loite-red closo to the opening, andhis heart gave a bound as his highlystrung ear detected a slight scrapingsound at tho rear of tho tepee. Thtgleam of a keen knifo glittered for amoment iu the uncertain light as itsilently but rajrielly cut its way throughthe buffalo skins, and Ross realized thattl.e Sioux had kept his faith—had per-formed all that was possible for him toaccomplish, aud the balauee remainedwith himself.

His nerves were brncsjd liko steel as hoprepares! for the supreme effort. Delay-ing a moment to enable tho Inelian tomake good his escape, tho captain, withhis heart beating fast and furious,sprang lightly through tho slot, foundhimself beside a magnificent specimenof horseflesh, vaulted onto his back,plied tho spurs , and with tho speed of awhirlwind rushed from between thetents, through tho encampment, scatter-ing tho countless Indian slogs right_and

left as ho galloped stralgnt for the riverford.

Thero was a savage yell of astonish-ment and alarm, a ringing shot, a packof howling dogs snapping at his mettle-some charger's heels, followed by a fewstraggling rifle shots as tho startledbraves sprang forth, scarcely realizingthat their victim had eluded their grasp.

In a trice the entire camp was aroused;each tepeo had been emptietl of its occu-pants, whilo a score of dusky figures ,shouting liko demons, leaped on to theirhorses, starting in hot pursuit of theprisoner, who had disappeared in thedark shadows of the overhanging hills.

Giving his steed the rein , ho reached(ho opposite sido of tho river unscathed.Then for the first time, in tho excitementand hurry attcneling his flight , tho sol-dieT noticed strappctl to tho neck of hishorse was a Winchester repeating rifle.One glance sufficed to assure him that itwas reatly for use, for fortunately, per-haps, ho had no occasion to uso it ujionhis pursuers.

It required no urging from him fortho noble animal to put forth its best ef-forts , anil with tho speed of a bird thesjiirited horse (low onward, easily dis-tancing tho hordo of yelling pursuers.Across tho sandy, level plain, throughsagebrush and stinging nettles, windingabout tho base of outlying hills, the caji-tain pursued his way, anel ero daylightdawned all sound of pursuit hael diedaway, leaving tho fugitive surroundedby the valleys and risings of tho loftymountain range.

It v.-as three days beforo ho strack afamiliar trail leading to Gomez pass, andboth horso cud rider were well nigh ex-hausted beforo they finally succeeded ingaining camp. It was a joyful reunion ,for Ross hail been given up as dead byhis companions, with whom ho was de-servedly popular.

Thero was no timo lost by tho com-mand in following up tho war band ofSioux , but tho wily, subtle game hadfled , and when tho river ford was reachedby tho cavalrymen tho Indians had dis-ajiper.red. But Ross still retains thathorse, and I doubt if thero is gold enoughin tho bowels of tho Black Hills to winhim from his owner.—Captain,H. D.Smith in Truo Flag.

FOR AN ALIEN FLAG,THE AMERICAN PHALANX IN THE

WARS OF NICARAGUA.f A Hand of Flfty-sli Biacmen Created a

New Era on tlio Isthmus—Odds of Tento One Faced by General Walker's Des-perate Soldiers.

.Copyright, 1803, by American Press Associa-tion. Book richts reserved. !

FhW minutes aft-er sunset on June30, 1853, the peopleof San Juan delSur, the Pacificport of the Transitroute across Nio-aragua, beheld aparty of forty-fivemen in Americanc o s t u m e, somobareheaded, othersbarefooted, manyof them woundedand all of themtravel worn and

battle stained , with smoko begrimed riflesslung at their hips, file through the streetsand toko up quarters in an old barrack ontho beach. Without halting a meager de-tail took possession of all sailing craft inthe harbor, even to a schooner under theCosta Rican flag that hnd just cast anchor.

The soldiers—for such they were—whothus took liberty with whatever could servetheir purpose in San Juan constituted theAmerican phalanx in the service of the pro-visional Democratic government of Nica-ragua. They hail just marchedaday's jour-ney from the battlcfieltl of Rivas, a townnear tho west shore of Nicaragua lake,where they alone had battlesl nearly fourhours against 000 Legitimists. Originallymustering 50—an army no larger than isoften marshaled on tho mimic stage—0 hadbeen killed and 5 disabled antl captured.

The battle of Rivas was the opening trag-edy in the bloody drama of Walker's Nica-raguan campaign. Walker and 55 com-panions liinsie**t from California June 11,and ten days later enlisted in tho Demo-cratic or revolutionary service. Walkerwas colonel of tho phalanx, AchillesKeiren lieutenant colonel nnsl TimothyCrocker major. The attack on Rivas hadbeen ordereel by the provisional governmentas the first step in the renewal of hostilitiesin the civil war just then languishing forlack of "sand" in tho Democratic camps.Rivas coutr.-illetl tho Transit route whereWalker expected to gather recruits fromtravelers crossing llie isthmus. It held theenemy's treasure box , for there a tax onTransit fares was paid to the strongestclaimant , ami an attack made there carrisjdthe-war away from the impoverished dis-tricts of l l ie I)t-ineci- ;ii.!*.

The hitter held only a few towns in thonarrow coast s'.ri p on the* northern borderof the state adjoining Honduras, the de-partment whero the revolution start etl.twoyears before Walker's arrival. Nicaragua,as a whole, was Legitimist by musket rule.The Democrats had neither soldiers, moneynor heart for t he stru*^flo, A contingent s-r*100 natives bad marches! on Rivas tvitli theAmericans and stampedcsl at the first, fire ,leaving the fifty-six aliens alone to copewith odsjs of ten to 'one. Tho phalanxfought its way into Rivas. Jveivcn sniilCrocker and 4 others were killed aud 1(5woundesl, of whom II escaped, when thesurvivors cut s* path of retreat to San Juan.Tho rifles of tho Americans knocked over180 Legitimists, and almost to a man thevictims were shot through the head.

Tho Americans liad sailed to San Juanoriginally in theirown schooner, the Vesta.Sho disappeared sluring tho fight at Rivas.and the San Jose wns impressed to trans-port them back to Leon, the seat of theDemocrats in tho north. The Costa Ricans,whose flig tho San Jose sailed under,favored tho Legitimists, and defiance oftheir colors boded no good to the aliens.

The revolutionary populace of Leon wasastounded nnel overjoyed at the prowess ofthe phalanx. But tho admiration was atrifle ono sidetl. The Democrats had anarmy—on paper—and a general in chief—one Munoz. A report reached the Ameri-cans to the effect that the Legitimist com-mander at Rivas had been warned of theattack of June 20 by a German who leftthe Democratic camp shortly before undera passport signed by Munoz. Walker In-sisted that Munoz be called to account fortreachery, but tho Democratic directorhadn't the nerve to break with Munoz.

GEN. WILLIAM WALKERJust at the time there was a reign of tei**-

ror in the Democratic cities, owing to theapproach of a bosly of Legitimists under *tCosta Rican general names! Guardiola , whowas knoivn as the "Butcher of CentralAmerica." Munoz marched out with GOODemocrats to engage Guardiola, Walkerand his tnen refusing to serve under him.The director and people chuckled in secrecyover the mutiny of the aliens because theypreferred to have the American rifles onhand to protect their homes and persons.Munoz met Guanliolasuid defeated him, butwas brought home on a bier. Two obstaclesbeing removed, the Americans started oncemorsj for the southern department to re-gain the Transit route and revenues.

The phalanx had gained but two Ameri-s»n recruits in Nicaragua, nnd though littlewas expected of native Democrats in wayof fighting Walker asked for a detachmentwith a competent leader. A volunteercame forward who had not only shoutedbut actually smelted powder nnd shed theblood In the revolutionary cause—one Cs,l.V-iUe. VaJlcdrummed tip 1SG native vol-unteers — Walker would have no con-scripts—nr.tl as soon as the party was out ofsigh t of the Democratic capital , althoughhe was a warm personal friend of the in-cumbent tlireetor, he proposesl to set up an-other government with Walker at tho headWalker declined.

The force reached San Juan and marchedto tlio lake port of Rivus, Virgin Bay, Sept.8. Guardiola was at Rivas with 000 menand attacked Walker, completely surround-ing his camp with superior numbt-rs. Thephalanx wns divided into squads, with tennatives to each , and in st two hours' battleGuardiola was routcsl with a loss of 100men. The Democrats lost 14 wounded. Thelong range marksmanship of the phalanxhad again astonished tho natives, andG uardiola 's followers scattered to the moun-tains.

After Walker's victory over Guardiolahe decided to attack Granada, the I*egiti-mist stronahold in the center of the coaststrip and midway between Walker's posi-tion at Virgin Bay and the Democraticstronghold at Leon. In a military pom'of view Granada was tho Sevastajjol ofNicaragua, nnd a year liefore had stood asiege of six moiaths by Democratic forces.It contained 15,000 inhabitants and waa thefinest city in Central America, a creationof the old Spanish settlers. Tho phalanxwas recruited up to 250 men by companiesof tho same stamp as tho original 06. CoLVoile's natives also increased to about 300.

Granada was near tbe lake and wasguarded by a fort on the water aide. TheDemocrats sailed to the point at night,landed nnder cover of elirkness and pickedtheir way stealthily, tbe phalanx marching,In front, as usual. Tho outskirts at the citywere reached about sunrise, and a peal p.!

bens ourst trom tne towers of the gray oldcathedral and the churches here and there:The assailants supposed that sentinels wereringing alarm bells calling to arms andquickened their steps, the phalanx scalinga barricade in front of the chief plaza withtheir thrilling western worwhoop. But thegarrison of the town was trifling; a fewwere killed, and the rest ran away.

The fort beyond the town mounted threecannon and was mantled by 40 men. Acharge by 25 Americans drove the garrisonto their boats; and in a twinkling Granada—venerable, haughty, aristocratic Granada—was revolutionized. A decidedly newrole was then forced upon the Americansby the conduct of their allies. To kill androb tho enemy is tho time honoretl privilegeof tho victors in Central America, and

Or?

O'KEAL'S CnATCE.Valle's men set out to sack the town. EvenVallo lost his head when ho saw a coupleof his bitter enemies, who wero high in thoLegitimist councils, walking about underthe safeguard of the phalanx.

The result of the takinu of Granada wasa treaty between the Legitimists and Dem-ocrats. j Vll of the Legitimist forces marchedto Granada and grounded arms in the pres-enceof tho Americans. Anew governmentwas formetl untler President Rivas, a Lcon-ese, with Walker as commander in chief.The star of the Americans went up to zen-ith; thanksgivings and jubilees were cele-brated; the conservative church partyhailesl the new order of things, nnd thoAmericans were everywhere treated as theliberators ot the people.

Every steamer from San Francisco car-ried out adventurers to swell the phalanx,and tho end of 1833 found 2,000 of tho bestfighting men in tho world under arms inNicaragua. jVnd they wero soon put to thetest. The Legitimist commander. Gen.Corral , broke the solemn oath he hatl madowith Walker in the old cathedral of Gran-ada when tho treaty was signed nnd in-vited foreign soldiers into the country tooust tho Americans. Ho was promptlytried and put to death. Tho charter of thoNicaragua!! Canal company, which wasowned in New York city, was annulled bytho Rlras-Walker government , and thoUnited States refused to recognize tho newregime. Costa Rica jilucked up courage tofollow suit, snubbeil the Nicaraguan em-bassador and put 0,000 men untler arms "toslrive tho foreign invader" from the soil ofNicaragua.

The Costa Ricans cnteresl the departmentso recently subjugated by American arms,sacked the towns of San Juan nnd VirginBay, robhctl and murdered many helplessulient * nnd seized tho town of Rivas. Wnlk-er was at Granatin with 400 Americansand 100 natives. Under pretext of invad-ing Costa Rica ho sailed to tho port offRivas in the night, surrounded the town,and at daylight the phalanx with a whoopand a yell rushed Into grand plaza. Fourhours of slcsperat e street fighting resultedin a draw, and Walker callesl off his men.The Costa Ricans lost nearly 000 killed audwounded and Walker's force 110.

Although boasting of victory, tho CostaRicans left the country, and the UnitedStates recognized the young republic. Thenext step was a revolution by native*against the Americans. Walker was electedpresident of the government party, aud thoseceders, combining «with tho soldiers ofGuatemala, Costa Rica and San Salvador,made war upon the dominant aliens. ThoAmericans mustered 1,000 men nt Granada.After four desperate battles In October nndNovember, 1850, Walker gnve orders to de-stroy the place and retreat. In tho midstof the confusion the allies sprung an attackand rushed into tho burning streets fromthree directions.

At one point a body of 500 burst intoview of tho Americans at tho head of astreet occupied by Maj. Calvin O'Neal'srifles. O'Neal called around him thirty-two of his best men, leaped on Ids horsesans coat, sans shoes, antl rode at the hostIn front of him. His followers, its mad nshimself, closed in and in a few minutes lit-erally blocked tho street with tho dead,who fell by scores in front of the Americanrifles. The next day nnd tho next, equallydaring feats were many times repeated , butthe odds were enormous, antl the Americans,who ut tho start numbered only 419, werehemmed in.

A siege of twenty days followed, ("holcrabroke out and carried off 120 of tho aliens,110 fell in battle nnd 42 were captured. Sofierce wero the Americans in pushing anattack that the nllies gave up position afterposition without a blow, anil finally Walk-er's men carried the fort , cut a road throughthe lake shore and reached Rivas. Skir-mishes, actions and battles then took placealmost weekly on sea anil land. The Amer-icans were virtuall y surrountled and fight-ing for dear life. The slaughter of the nllieswas appalling. Their soldiers were madedrunk und urged upon the American barri-cades with the lash.

One dead Americnn mennt CO or 70 deadenemies, it soon became only a questionof extermination for both parties, anslabout the middle of April , 1857, the seventhmonth of stssuly fi ghting, the United Statesansl British naval officers prevailed uponthe Americans to leave Nicaragua under asafe consluct to Panama. The garrison ofRivas then mustered 337 Americans, ofwhom one-half wero wounded, and 40 na-tives. GEOHG E L. KILMER.

"Appearances are sometimes deceptiveand popular impressions erroneous," saielDr. Tracy, of the health department.

"What now!'" I asked."I bail a friend , a physician from Con-

necticut, call on ine tho other day. Onone of his tramjia about town he hatlstrayed down in the Tenth ward , wliichis boundeel by Division , Rivingtou andNorfolk streets and the Bowery. Itisthe banner tenement houso ward of thocity. There may be a dozen houses inwhich less than three families live, butmost of tho dwellings are double deckedtenements, holding from twenty to sixtyfamilies to the house. Children swarmliko bees, and it is jirobably the mostdensely populated spot in the UnitedStates, perhaps tho globe. My friendthought that tho mortuary record mustbo frightful.

' 'When I toll! him that it was abouttho most healthful district in New Y'ork,"and with nearly tho lowest sleath rate ofany ward , ho would scarcely belie vo me.Tako tho Nineteenth ward, between For-tieth and Eighty-sixth streets, east ofSixth avenue, which is mamly filled withtho homes of the rich and well to do, thedeath rate is 21.83, while in tho Tenth itbut 18.73. The deatii rate in tho oldNinth , or tho 'village,' which containsbut comparatively few tenements, is23.34. Tho First , Fourth and Fourteenthare the three most unhealthful warels intho city, the rate being 85.02, 30.80 anel30.84 respectively. In tho Twelfth ward,which comprises all of Manhattan Islandnorth of Eightj--sixth street, and whichcontains tho largest population , havingwithin its borders about 225,000 souls,the rate is 19.28.

"As I saiel, a casual observer wouldconsider tho Tenth ward the most un-healthful in the city, owing to its crowdedtenements and its geographical situation.The Twenty-first ward, bounded byTwenty-sixth street, Fortieth street,Sixth avenue and tho East river, con-tains much of the aristocratic quarter ofthe town, but tho death rate is 26.00. Iufact , tho Tenth ward, with its 00,000Russian Jews and Germans, has tho low-est death rate of any ward except thoThird—a small ward, containing but1,300 population , antl whoso death rateis 10.95."—New Y'ork Eeralel.

HEALTH AND CQUALOR.

Au interesting story is tolel of Mr. ant!Mrs. Haggard whilo thej' were travelingin this country in tho spring of 1891. Itis said that whilo in Mexico, at VeraCruz, they arranged to Bail north alongtho Atlantic coast to New York. Whilowaiting for tho steamer Mr. Haggardtook a small coasting boat and madeseveral voyages np and down tho Mexi-can seaboare! in search of curiosities aneltraditions, antl became so interestesl thathe forgot tho flight of time and the sail-ing day of his vessel.

Mrs. Haggard thought her husbandhael been captured for a ransom, butwith the courage so characteristic ofher felt certain that ho would turn upall right somewhere; so when the steam-er was rt-adj' to sail for New York shewent aboard and proceeded on her waj-.When Mr. Haggard reached Vera Cruzantl found neither steamer nor wife hctook tho railroad , and as fast as steamcould tako him returned to New York.There in tho corridor of a hotel husbandansl wife wero reunited.—Ladies' HomoJournal.

Sailed Without Her Husband.

They loaded the lower deck inside andout; they loaded her upper deck wherethe chairs for the passengers had seemedto be supreme, anel then they loadeel theroof over that deck and tho sido spacesuntil her sides were sunk low down nearthe river's surface, and she bristled atevery point with boxes, bales, agricul-tural imi>lements, brooms, carriages,bags, antl, as tho captain remarked.•'Heaven only knows what sho ain't gotaboarel her."

Tho mates roared; tho negroes talkedall tho timo or sung forest their mouths;the boat kejit settling in the water, andthe mountains of freight swelled at everypoint. It was well said that twenty or-dinary freight trains on a railroad wouldnot carry as much freight as was stowedaboarsl of her, and I die! not doubt thomau who remarked to mo that whensuch a boat , so laden , discharged hercargo loosely at ono placo it often madea pile bigger than the boat itself.—JulianRalph in Harper's.

¦ nearly 100 years ago, ia 1794, M. Boitnnd t3ay-Lussac, the pioneer balloonists,conducted the most remarkable series ofhigh air experiments ever known. Al-though ballooning was in its infancy atjthe time, the facts proved by those in-trepid navigators of the air have been

-of inestimable value to all later investi-gators. They took domestic animals

Ij&nd birds of various kinels along with- them for the purpose of taking notes onthe effect which tho extreme cold andrarified air would have on such creatures.'•They were also well provided withvarious scientific instruments and othersuitable apparatus. The first experi-mental ascension carried them and theircargo to a height of 13,000 feet.- rAt 8,000 feet tho animals and birdsseemed to all be in normal condition ; at10,000 all were breathing very rapislly.When the barometer showed that aheight of 11,000 feet had been attaineda pigeon was liberated, or rather thrownJfrom the basket, for it fell like a lumpof lead, being utterly unable to flap a'¦Wing on account of tho rarified stato ofthe air at that altitude. Gay-LussacJiad a normal pulse beat of 02 per min-:ttte; at 11,000 feet this had increased toBO. When on terra firma Boit's beat at.li ps3r minute and 111 when the 11,000-foot level was reached.—St. Louis Re-public.

¦ "itany thieves go down Red lane" is ahomely saying, but within its proverb-like garb there lurks an idea which is

'Worth brief consideration. The red lane'til the throat, and it was purposed by theCreator as tho pathway by which thosethings that aro good for food might sup-jj ily the strength and repair the waste of.the human machine. But, alas! how.-Many thieves that rob the power, un--as-trvo the strength and increase the waste:<rf vitality come in—somo boldlj -, with\*9Ur knowledge, and others slj'ly and nn-._*""*are.

Archibald Price, ono of the pioneersettlers of Kanawha valley, West Vir-ginia, was making maple sugar in agrove across tho river from his house,when he caught sight of threo Insjuansi>j£ulking in the vicinity. "The var-mints!" he said to himself. "So theymean to pounce on me when I've twopails o' sap aboard."

He was just starting for some of themore distant trees. Of course he changedhis purpose on the instant, but he wasquick witted enough to give no sign ofthe fact, and for a few moments busiedhimself about the boiling place, whistlingmerrily.

If he set off aerosss tho river in Itiscanoe, the Indians would pursue andshoot him. He had a brother who wasa sea diver. From him he had learnedsomething about diving bells, and henow took a sndden resolve to make hiskettle serve him in that capacity. Hoemptied it, but in such a way that anobserver at a little distance would havesupposed he was filling it frcm a tubstanding near.

As soon as it was emptied he lifted itquickly, and hurris-d down the riverbank, where he raised it, in an inverts-dposition, over his head, the rim restingon his shoulders, and walked into thowater. The bank was steep, and thewater was soon up to his shoulders.

Keeping a firm hold of the kettle, heproceeded. The water got deeper anddeeper until it was several feet over thetop of tho kettle.

Tho foprovised diving bell answeredits purpose excellently, supplying air forhim to breathe until he emerged on thehome side of the river.

So Mr. Price saved himself and hisiron kettle from falling into the handsof the savages.—Youth's Companion.
