AS LITTLE! AW AS POSSIBLE

Professor Garside Says Socialism Vpuld Make JIan the Sole Masterof Himself. There Is aGraveMistake in Society Under Present Conditions, He Thinks, for All Persons Are Drv Jekylls and Mr. llydes. Plymonth Clmrcli lectnre-room was fairly well filled, last night, with an audience that had come to hear "The Thilosophy of Socialism," as expounded by Prof. T. Hamilton Garside, of Baltimore, a Scotchman by birth, and an educator by profession. He -was introduced to the audience by Philip IZappaport, editor of tho German Daily Tribune. "There is probably no theory," said Mr. Kappaport, in his introduction, "about which there is leas underStanding and more misunderstanding than socialism. It is not a mere labor question, a question of higher wages or fewer hours of work. As I take it, there is no grander or nobler idea. It is an idea of general culture and civilization to elevate man to a higher degree of culture and civilization than the present, and to bring about happier conditions than now exist." Professor Garside is tall, stuaent-liko in appearance, with a clear, well-modulated voice, and a didactic manner. His subject was, naturally, to a considerable extent metaphysical. "To many of yon," he began, "it may seem strange that a subject so much, ridiculed and laughed at as socialism possesses a philosophy; and possibly the word philosophy has attached to it in your minds a higher and probably more aristocratic meaning than is in the minds of most men. But, whether true or not, socialism does possess a keen, clear, concise philosophy.' There is not only attached an economic side, but an ethical and metaphysical side, a deeper insight into tho relationship of mankind than men or women are willing to admit. Generally, those lersous who Know least about socialism declare it is not willing to submit itself to fkxxy logical examination or analysis." The professor, continuing, said that the philosophy of socialism asked investigation and courted the application of all the tests of truth. He held it to be cowardly and unwise not to examine these principles, and basic truths upon which socialism is founded, but that neglect is unjust to the truth itself, lie said that truth was never made stronger than when, men rebel against it; their very unwillingness to have existing errors taken away or demolished tends to establish the truth. "Men reject socialism," he said, "not so much because they had proved it to be untrue, but because tney have a prejudice against any preconceived ideas of social relationship." A considerable portion of his lecture was given to the subject of environment, and he held that theft and other crimes would not exist if society were properly constructed. Changes could be made, and natural government would produce the needed results. "Strange," said he, "that men are afraid of change, yet change is joining on. Socialism does not disavow constitutional authority. It recognizes the necessity of a constituted Authority and of a constituted form of government, but it says that just as individuals progress sqyaust governments and man's relationship. There are a number of persona who associate socialism with anarchism. The anarchist desires the total destruction of all forms of government and the existence of no law. believing as Paul has paid, that every inau should' be a law unto himself. Is it not possible, if there would be a total disruption of existing systems, thAo must also be a total change in the mental and moral conditions of the people? Socialism argues that there is a sphere for the individual and a sphere for tho state. That the individual is one and the state is another; that the rights of the individual are concentrated in himself and the rights of the state cannot interfere with his rights guaranteed by the common right of the state. The individual is born with rights, and like those of the slave, though not recognized, are not destroyed." The Professor contended that socialism would not destroy anything but privilege, a power that men have obtained that is not equity, and that equity should be the basis of existence. "Government to-day," he continued "is really the authority of force; nothing else. It is not the law the people need, but that which the government considers necessary in order to carry out its own demand. Socialists would destroy all law which conflicts with the natural requirements of man, as bad and immoral. We assert that any law, no matter what kind of law, whether it pertains to economics, morality or anything else which interferes with tho best development of nature, whether in the brute creation or in man, is bad and must have bad results. Consequently we are naturalists. Socialists are attacked by those who Bay we would destroy the very basis of the family life. But family life is not all good. The story of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is the common story of almost every man in the world. Men lead two lives, for they are bound, forced, and must set aside the very basis of their natural principles in order that they may live. "It is said that preservation is the first law of nature. If preservation is made of such a character that to obtain it the destruction of another is requisite, is not that preservation actually legal murder? True, it is not the cutting of a man's throat, but if it be by any power I possess over the necessities ot others am I not guilty in the 6ight of nature and nature's Godf Talk of bomelifel Two -thirds of the employes in Massachusetts factories are women and children. Marriages are decreasing in the country, aud the illegitimacy of children is cn the increase. The woman of to-day occupies a position in the ethics of life below what she did under the barbaric system. Civilized society is really worse as related to ethics than any other kind of society. We assert that women should be essentially upon the same platform as men, possessing the same moral, economic and physical rights. Is it not evident that socialism does not go bevond the home life? When we have touched the fireside we have done. We say, let the individual bo placed in such a position where he will be true to himself, aud there will be no possibility of a bad government or bad social relations. Progress cannot bo measured by wealth, education or refinement. True progress can only be where the man lias the right to develop all that is in him. We reason that if you restrict the individuality of tho person, the future must be full of trouble for somebody." In the spirit of prophesy, the speaker said that a change was coming in existiug social relations, aud likened the change to a cyclone. "It will begin," the Professor continued, "at San Francisco and run through this country to the State of Maine, and will go north, south, east and west And when the blizzard of socialism has run . it courso you will not rind ruin and bloodshed. You will simply find no poverty, no misery, no unhappy homes, but peace, justice aud equity, lo obtain that is not an easy matter, but this is not a labor -question. It attects the millionaire as much as the ditch-digger. If you desire to progress see to it that the conditions in which you are living are such as to lay the foundation of a condition for the future by which you will be guaranteed a safe and a good life." 1 Professor Garside will speak at tho Criminal Court room to-night on The Wage System." It is unnecessary to say there is no charge for admittance. The Indianapolis llolling-Mill. The stockholders of the Indianapolis Rolling-mill Company held a meeting yes terday to ee if they could agree upon some lau for btarting up the mill. The De'auws were represented by John W. Raw who stated that they were ready to givo their sharo of the money needed to put the mill iu operation, either to manntacture rails or heavy iron work. One or two other of the stockholders expressed themselves in favor of doing something. Others re disposed to sell if a favorable opportunity otters. After arranging for paving the company's taxes, the stockholders adjourned without taking any definite action as regards the future of the mill. Influx or Strolling Musicians. Nr.w Yokk. April 3.-The Musical Union of this city is endeavoring to prevent tho landing here of strolling bands from Kurope. Almost every in-coming German steamer has on board a score or more of CiiuicUnd, who have beea in the habit of

coming hero in the spring and returning in the fall with the money earned during the summer. It is urged that such immigrants come within the provisions of the foreign contract labor law.' but heretofore they have escaped detention by swearing that they came as individuals and not as bauds under leaders. When the steamer Westernland arrived this morning from Antwerp Superintendent Simpson, of the landing bureau at Castle Garden, discovered that there were no less than 400 musicians on board, nearly all of them having spent the summers hero for years past. Many of the leaders wtio recognized. Itepresentatives of the Musical Union learned of the influx, and at once urged that a strict investigation be made. The suggestion is made that they can be held under the pauper act if evidence is not forthcoming to warrant their return under the foreign contract labor law. A representative of the Knights of Labor is interesting himself in the matter. Murder and Riot at Xenla, O. Xenia. O., April 3. A riot and attempted lynching occurred here yesterday. At a dance early in the morning Sherman Jackson, goaded by jealousy, stabbed and killed Frank Lawrence, colored. The murder created great excitement among the colored people, and in the afternoon, when the police found Jackson secreted in the house of an old colored woman, a mob was at once organized to lynch the culprit. The mob was led by Thomas and William Lawrence, uncles of the murdered man. The officers opposed the mob. Finally a clash occurred in the heart of the city and but, a short distance from the jail. The officers refused the demand for the prisoner, and the excited crowd at once attacked them. Clubs were freely used, but the mob rushing on the officers in a body, after a short tussle, had the prisoner in their possession. The officers then drew their revolvers and, with reinforcements, charged on the mob. again securing their prisoner and landing him in the jaiL There is still great excitement, and the jail is being securely guarded.

A DAKOTA CJRCU3ISTANXE. Illustrating the Way in Which the Cheerful lioomer Booms. York Son. I met the man in Omaha who boomed Palestine City, D. T., and as I had been out there and found it a tract of land without a house or. an inhabitant I was naturally anxious for further particulars. I had received one of his circulars, and I asked him: You spoke of six railroads as certain to come to the place. What was to bring themT" "Geographical sitnation, sir. I couldn't see how they could possibly get by the town. I had the finest bed of gravel you ever saw; and railroads always want gravel. 1 put the number at six, but that was a low estimate." "In speaking of the climato you said a man could go in his shirt sleeves in January." 'So he could did it myself; it would have been more comfortable with two overcoats on, but I was experimenting with the climate." "You said yon gather! strawberries in December." "Exactly. Thev were in a can, but I forgot to state that fact. I write very carelessly when in a hurry." "And you said that ploughing was going on all winter." "So it was. Did I state the sort of ploughing?'' "I think not." "Very careless in me, 6ir. We begin snow-ploughing in November, and keep it up until April. I am always cheerfully willing to explain these little matters." "You had a thousand inhabitants, and were to have five times that number in a year!" "Certainly. Ilad a very large Indian camp thero at the time. An Indian is an inhabitant, I suppose. The laborers employed on the six railroads would havo made up the remainder. It was a very low estimate." "How about coal being found on the groundf" "I found it, sir. I scattered 200 pounds of it around there, and most of it can be found yet." "And you stated that the thermometer did not go below 35 above zero." "Fact, sir. I was there for several weeks in July and August and I can assure that I did not exaggerate in the least." I did not see anything of your gas and water-works." "No, sir. In shipping them from the East there was some mistake, and they went on to . some town in Arizona. Annoyed me very much, I can assure you. but mistakes often happen in a new country." "If I remember right, the town had two banks, three churches, a good school, a theater, tire department, police force, and a $20,000 court-house." "Exactly, sir. The statement was a little premature, but made in all candor." "And your terms were only $30 a lot, business or residentl" "Only SO. sir, whicbyou must admit was wonderfully cheap. Nothing like it ever offered the great American public. I sold over 900, sir?' "But what was the matter with the town!" "Circumstances, sir. It was suddenly discovered that my title to the land was defective in fact, that I had no title. Very annoying, I assure you. But for that I might have sold 2.000 lots. Great drawback to me, sir." "Hut what of the 900 purchasers of lots!" "I feel for them, sir feel for them; but this is a world of disappointment. I mav found another town further West, and if 1 do. my first move will be to sell everv one of the 000 a $200 lot for S100. I'll be clad to do it, sir very glad. Good day, sir?' SLICING TO DEATH. Shockingly Barbaric Method of Torturing' Condemned Murderers in China. Frank S. Carpenter's Chinese Letter. At the back of this execution ground stood half a dozen wooden crosses. If you will take a piece of telegraph pole eight feet long and set a similar pole five feet long into it at right angles two feet from the top you will have the Chinese cross. It is upon these crosses that the criminals are bound when they are to undergo the punishment of Ling Chi or slicing to death, which is tho sentence for all who murder a brother, a parent, a teacher, a husband or an uncle. The criminal is stripped and his feet are raised upon a brick or a stone. His cue is tied up to the cross and his arms are stretched out upon its arms. A British naval officer, whom I met at Hong Kong, described an execution of this kind which he witnessed a few weeks ago. "It made me feel verv green at first," said he, "but after it was begun I could not keep my eyes off it. I have had the experience over again three times in mv dreams, and I would not want to see it again. 1 had the best guide in Canton, and we saw the execution from the roof of one of the buildings beside the execution grounds. There were two criminals, and it took about thirty tainutes to cut each of them to pieces. The first cuts sliced off the cheeks and the second the eyebrows. After these a man held a fan before the faces of the prisoners, and all we could see of them was the blood running down upon their bodies. The next cut was of the ficsh between tho hand and the elbow, and the arteries were first bound above the places cut so that the man would not bleed, to death before the ceremony was completed. Then the shoulders were cut off. Then the flesh of the thighs, and after this the calves of the legs. The seventeenth and eighteenth cuts removed tho hands, and the last cut took the head from the body. . "In both cases the men did not faint away. Tho pain was too terrible. They could not cry out, as they were gagged, and their writhings were horrible. The last cut killed them." i Gentle Hint to Reporters. Troy (N. Y.) Times. Somehow there is wonderful unanimity of narrowness about escapes from casualties. Nobody yet, so far as records show, ever heard of a broad escape. The Xatioual Complaint. Thomas J. Riley, 524 West Sixty-first st,, New York, writes: 'I had very severe attacks of dyspepsia, accompanied with wind and pains in the side and stomach. Everything I ato disagreed with me, and I lost llcsh daily. Internal medicine only afforded mo temporary relief. I commenced applying Allcock's Porous Plasters, one on the pit of the stomach and one below, just above the navel. In a few hours my pains very much abated. Iu two days my food appeared to agree with me. At the end of a week I was nearly well, but continued wearing the plasters as a precaution. 1 have used altogether six plasters, and must pay they aro the cheapest and best medicine- ever invented

MORGAN'S RAID.

He Crowed the Ohio Against Orders Louisville the Supposed Destination. "Washington Special to St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Volume XXIII of the Rebellion Records is just out. A considerable portion of it is devoted to the Morgan raid into Indiana and Ohio. The most interesting document is the report of Maj.-gen. Joseph Wheeler, C. S. A., in reference to the instructions given General Morgan before he started North. This report was found among the confederate archives. General Wheeler was Mor?an's superior, lie is now a member of Congress from Alabama. Tho report is as follows: IlEAPQCARTEltS CAVALRT CORPS, CLEVELAND, Tenn.. Nov. 7, 18G3. Colonel I Lave the honor, in obedience to your Instructions, to state that, about J itno 13 last, I received a dispatch from Brigadier-general Morgan, etating that the enemy at Louisville, Ky., were but 300 strong, and asking permission to march upon said place, and take and destroy the public works, etc. I immediately presented the matter to the general commanding this army, who had also learned from other sources of the small garrison at Louisville, and he directed me to tend the following order to General Morgan: "IlEAPQUABTEItS CAVALRT CORTS, SHELBYville, Tenn., June 14, 1S63. General Your dispatch was received last night, and the facts communicated to General Bragp, and I visited him to-day on the subject. lie dh-ccts that you proceed to Kentucky with a sufficient number of regiments to make up 1,500 men, and that you uge your own discretion regarding the amount of artillery you take, lie directs that you take Kentucky troops, and those which will be most likely to get recruits. The remainder of your command will be left under command of the senior officer. Should you hear that the enemy is advancing for a general engagement, General Bragg wishes you to turn rapidly and fall upon his rear. "I regret exceedingly the circumstances which render it impossible for General Uragg to detach your entire division, but tho xrobability of an advance upon the part of the enemy makes it necessary for him to retain enough force to hold his position, should a general engagement take place, and he hopes, since the enemy's forces in Kentucky are so reduced, you may be able to accomplish much good with the proposed detachment, General IJragg wishes the movement to take place as soon as possible. With great respect, your obedient servant, "Joseph Wiieelkr, Major General. "Gen. John 1L Morgan, Commanding Cavalry Division." This was sent and its receipt acknowledged by General Morgan, with the request that he might take 2,000 men, stating that with these he could accomplish everything which ho proposed, viz.: The capture of Louisville, Ky. General Bragg acceded to this request, and sent the following order to General Morgan: "Headquarters Cavalry Corps, Near Shelbyville, June 18, 1863. Special Orders, No. 44 1. General Morgan will proceed to KentucRy with a force ot 2,000 officers and men, including such artillery as he may deem most ex1edient. In addition to accomplishing the work io has proposed, he will, as far as possible, break tip and destroy the Louisville & Nashville railroad, lie will, if practicable, destroy depots of supplies in the State of Kentucky, after which he will return to his present position. By order of Major-general Wheeler. "E. B. Bur ford, Assistant Adjutant-general. Prior to General Morgan's departure, I wrote him one or two lettfrs, in which I urged his rapid movement, stating that I hoped his movements would be so rapid that he could be on his return to our army before General Itosecrans could be certain he had left for Kentucky. The retained conies of these letters were unfortunately mislaid. In these letters to General Morgan and in General Morgan's letters to me, not one word was sail about his crossing tho Ohio riven but, on tue contrary, ho was urged by me to observe the importance of his returning to our army as rapidly as possible. I make this point apparent, as It was one to which my attention was particularly called. I am, Colonel, very respectfully your obedient servant, Josei'H Whkkler, Major General.

There has been a great affluence of portraits of George Washington lately in connection with the centcnaiy of tho tirst President's inauguration and the publication of the Sharoles papers, and the rellection cannot be escaped that if eo many unfamiliar portraits insist upon coming out and being authenticated, one by one, as accurate likenesses of the Father his Couu-. try, the people will presently be all at sea as to how he really looked. The Stuart portrait has so long been accepted as the Washington that when other portraits, showing almost a totally different man, turn up, we 6imply look at them with astonishment, and say to ourselves, "Can this be Washington?7' Iu view of this confusion, which the Listener has observed growing into a sort of standing perplexity on the part of some of his friends, he asks no apology for copying a remarkably realistic account of Washington, which was written by David Ackerson, of Alexandria, Va., in 1811, in answer to an inquiry from his son. Ackerson commanded a company in the revolutionary war, and had many opportunities of observing the commander-in-chief. Tho letter from which this account is taken is in tho possession of Dr. Joseph M. Toner, of Washington, D. C, who is engaged in editing Washington's diaries, and a correspondent of the New York Tribune has got hold of it. It describes Washington as ne looked three days before the crossing of the Delaware: "Washington had a large, thick nose, and it was very red that day, giving me the impression that he was not so moderate in the use of liquors as he was eupposed to be. I found afterward that this was a peculiarity. His nose was apt to turn, scarlet in a cold wind. He was standing near a small camp-lire, evidently lost in thought and making no ettort to keep warm. Ho seemed six and a half feet in height, was as erect as an Indian, and did not for a moment relax from a military attitude. Washington's exact height was six feet two inches in his boots. He was then a little lame from striking his knee against a tree. His eye was 60 gray that it looked almost white, and he had a troubled look on his colorless face. He had a piece of woolen tied around his throat, and was quite hoarse. Perhaps the throat trouble from which he finally died had its origin about then. Washington's boots were enormous. They were No. 13. His ordinary walking shoes were No. 11. His hands were largo in proportion, and he could not buy a glove to lit him, and had to have his gloves made to order. His month washis strong feature, the lips being always tightly compressed. That day they were compressed so tightly as to be painful to look at. At that time he weighed 200 pounds, and there was no surplns flesh abouf him. He was tremendouslj' muscled, and the fame of his great strength was everywhere. His large tent, when wrapped up with the poles, was so heavy that it required two men to place it in the camp wagon. Washington would lift it with one hand, and throw it in the wagon as easily as if it were a pair of saddle-bags. He could hold a musket with one hand and shoot with precission as easily an other men did with a horse-pistol. His lungs were his weak point, and his voice was never strontr. He was at tho time in the prime of life. His hair was a chestnut brown, his cheeks were prominent and his head was not largo in contrast to every other part of his body, which seemed largo and bony at all points. His fingei-joints and wrists were so largo as to be genuine curiosities. As to his habits at that period I found out much that might be interesting. He was an enormous eater, but was content with bread and meat, if he had plenty of it. But hunger 6eemed to put him in a rage. It was his custom to take a drink of rum or whisky on awakening in the morning. Of courso all this was cnangod when he grew old. I taw him at Alexandria a year before he died. His hair was verv gray and his form was slightly bent. His chest was verv thin. He had false teeth which did not lit and pushed his upper lip outward." TWO OMELETS ON FOOT. An Erring Husband and a Young Lady Plastered with Eggs and Flour. .Philadelphia Record. A walking omelet is an unusual sight, and nwo 6uch freaks are positive rarities, but liter John Donahue, a voung husband who met his inamorata in aaimly lighted street, and Miss Ida Voshell, the object of his affection, had passed through the hands of an indignant wife they both looked more like uncooked omlets than anything else. It was this way: John Donahue and his 'svife Mary lived an apparently happy married life at Front and Morris streets, iliss i'da Voshell. of Third and Siegel streets, is an attractive brunette whoso charms meant much for tho young husband. His wife suspected tho truth, and one night last week when her husband burned through his supper and out of tho .house, saying, "Important business; I'll be home early," she had her mind made up and followed him. She went armed and with weapons that even the most original would not have thought of. Thev were tour eggs and a big bag of Hoar. Hastily

following her husband down Moyamensing avenue, she saw him greet the pretty Ida and walk down the street. As thev passed the alley wherein the young wife was hiding she sprang out. Grabbing Miss Voshell by tho hair, she mashed a big egg over her eyes and nose. Another egg of doubtfrl freshness spread its contents over ber long hair, and a third coursed down her neck. This attack confounded Mr. Donahue, and he stood looking at the scene in amazement. All the while Mrs. Donahue was holding her captive by the hair, and with her loose hand drew the bag of Hour from her dress and emptied half its contents over her screaming captive, and then rolled her in the gutter. Then she rubbed the flour into her hair and the eggs into her eyes. When Miss Voshell began to cry "Murder!" the wife released her hold and sprang for her husband. He sutfered the same fate, and an additional compliment in the shape of a tweak of the nose. In response to Miss Voshell'8 cries of murder, olhcer Wilson appeared and arrested tho trio. As Mrs. Donahue -walked up the street and surveyed her victims she looked satisfied. "Oh! I did it well." said she. The crowd cheered Mrs. Donahue, and, flushed with her success, she preferred charges against her husband and Miss Voshell at the station-house. Magistrate Kisenbrown held them each in $500 bail. The wife was allowed to go home on promising to behave herself in future. A KENTUCKY ILEXEX.

A Woman and a rig at the Bottom of the Latest Mountain Feud Barbonrsville (Ky.) News. A little, dirty, runty pig was the first cause of trouble between the clans of John Slusher and William Smith, on Stinking creek, this county. Tho title to that pig was the dispute. Tip, Steeve, Frank and Kv Messer, one of thoMoores and one of the llakers enlisted in Slusher's company, while Smith numbered among his followers Jim Matt and Garrett Karnes, Frank Murphy and others. What became of tho pig we know not, nor has Dame Rumor kept the run of that swine. A controversy over a more important piece of f urniture4 between two of the friends o.f the principals in the pig case came on, and at onco took precedence as a causus belli. Frank Murphy's wife, said to be a very pretty woman, and Ev Messer developed a fondness for each other that left prudence behind, and, in fact, made no ellort to conceal their amours, and from this cause hostilities have continued. The woman in the case has been a bone of contention between the husband and the lover, the latter being most often in possession of that accommodating rib. As stood the forces in the war over the pig, so, we aro told, are they to be found when the charms of a pretty woman loomed up as a prize. No Kentucky gentleman could afiord to take water or a back seat now that the scene had shifted from the repulsive pig to the beauty of a Helen. No, indeed! We do not believe such men grow in Kentucky. If such there be, go mark him well, and hire him for a dime museum. Armed to the teeth, the Murphy men, not long ago. made a descent upon the Messer fortress, and, in the absence of that ruthless lover, bore Mrs. Murphy back to the headquarters of her liege lord. But three da3s after, the determined lover is again the victor. Special Judge Cull was appealed to by citizens to put the trouble down, and Slusher and Smith, who seemed to be yet the recognized head of the parties, were brought in and made to give a $.500 peace bond each. But such bonds seldom bind, and seems not to have done so in this case, as Smith made complaint to tho Judge in less than a week that Slusher had broken the truce by shooting at him. Judge Cull then sent Sherilf Hemphill after the Slusher men. The next morning that officer reported to the court that tho only communication ho bad with tho gentlemen wanted was through the medium of tho favorite Winchester. Immediately one hundred men were ordered to arm and report themselves for duty at once, and putting himself at their head, Judgo Cull and his one hundred took up their line of march into the hostile country. This expedition brought in a few of the "militia," nit tho "regulars'' with their Winchesters ;ook refuge in the hills. Up to this writing hero have been but two men killed, James iirch and Alvis Turner. It seems ridiculous that a whole neighbirhcad of men, many of whom are good people, should allow themselves to become involved in a feud over so trivial or unworthy an object. We do not pretend to say to what extent the amours of Ev Messer and Mrs. Murphy have influenced the parties mixed up in this war. nor do we condemn one party more than the other, as there are many circumstances that we know not which have a bearing. The pig case is too insignificant to command consideration, and an uuchaste wife is deserving of. little more respect. Tho belligerents should ask themselves "is the game worth the candle?" and we feel sure they can arrive at but one conclusion honestly. It is shameful. Bury tho hatchet, and let the report go out to the world that peace reigns and all's quiet on Stinking. A SAMPLE MONTANA STORY. Three Men Saved from Death by the Cleaving of a Rock by Electricity. Livingston (Mont) Letter. Cattle stampedes do not occur often, and there are not many individuals even among tho "cow-men" who have seen a real, gennine, downright tornado of hoofs and noras swooping along in a wild, mad rush to destruction and crushing or eliminating almost everything in their pathway save the naked earth itself. One of the most graphic accounts of such a thrilling incident was given to the writer by anoldsettlerof Montana, the stampede occurring near rhe Red Bntte some years since. Late one afternoon a ranchman and two companions started on foot to cross a wide, open range of prairie to secure some horses that had strayed away from the former's ranch. It was an unusual proceeding for the ranchman or any of his men to venture such a distance from their home on f ootj but their ponies having wandered off this time it was a matter of necessity. Within less than an hour after they had started, and when not over three miles from home, they were overtaken by a severe thunderstorm, a thing that is likely to occur in this climate within a short space of time during the rainy season. - Soon everything was enveloped'in almost complete darkness, and the ram poured down in torrents, while the lightning flashed and tne thunder roared with appalling grandeur. There was not a single spot near whe.ro shelter could be obtained, and the three men were compelled to undergo a severe drenching. Just before the darkness came on the three men had described in the distance an immense herd of cattle quietly grazing, and seemingly without any signs of frignt or danger. All at once, however, the men were startled by a heavy, rumbling, rushing tread in the distance that drowned even the heaviest peals of thunder. On turning around quickly they discerned through the darkness, by means of the binding flashes of electricity, an extended line of dark objects closely wedged together and moving down the valley upon them like an impending array threatening them with total destruction. "What's that, maun!" exclaimed one of the men. a Scotchman who was a newly arrived pilgrim from the States, of little experience with Western life. "Dinna can ye tell me!" "Them thar's cattle stampedin," responded the old-timer. 4TU tell ye, pards, we'd better be trampin mighty quick, too." "Howly murther! The bloody divils," exclaimed the third individual, a real, raw Hibernian, not a great while from the sod of the Emerald Isle. And away the three men fled down tho valley at their topmost speed in an opposite direction from that in which they had 6een the herd coming. But their chances of escape from that maddened mass of cattle, closing and encircling their pathway, seemed well-nigh impossible. Apparently nothing short of a miracle could at all save them from complete annihilaSo, realizing their awful, desperate situation, the three men strained every muscle, the old-timer keeping the lead, the other two men closely following. At every step it seemed that the roaring and the bellowing of the cattle grew louder and more terrihe, as if the crash of doom itself was at hand. The scene was majestically awful, the noise of the stampede actually drowning the thunder. On, on came the cattle, pell raell, with such a demoniacal mixture of hello wings and clattering of hoofs and horns that the trio of individuals in their flight half imagined themselves being tossed ortrampled into fragments. In all that broad stretch of prairie, forty or fifty miles in extent, the men remembered but one single object to break the monotony that was their own ranch.

being had ever attempted to climb to its summit, and it was probably by tho purest accident that the lieeincr individuals had started in the direction of the huge xnasa of stone, which was known as "Lot's Wife," it having in the minds of some a supposed resemblanee to that disobedient woman. Possibly the old settler remembered the rock, but evidently he had not the least assurance that it might aid them to escape from the cattle. However, the three men arrived at the rock, and discovered to their delight and astonishment that by some strange and unearthly power it had been rent asunder, so that they could easily climb to the top and bo perfectly eecuro from danger. As not a single person had ever known of the rent in the rock before, it is altogether probable that it had jnst been cleft in two by one of tho fearful discharges of electricity. It was certainly a most providential circumstance, and the means of saving the three men's lives, for only a moment after thoy had climbed to the ton of the rock there swept past them with tne roar of a cyclone one of the most confused masses of cattle that any human being had ever witnessed. In that horrid crush a score or more of them were killed or trampled to pieces at tho foot of the rock, and the remains were afterwards found of hundreds which had perished in the deep gullies, pulverized by the sharp hoofs of their comrades.

P., F. K. C. P., of the University of London. Eng., says: "Passive congestion of the kidneys may bo present in which the urine contains not a trace of albumen, while the symptoms of intense venous congestion, dropsy, orthonncea and pulsating jugulars are present. The urine becomes scanty, high-colored and dense." Warner's Safe Cure has cured thousands of these symptoms, often called diseases, by putting the kidneys in n healthy condition.
