I DOES THINGS through a commercial school while employed as a shoemaker's apprentice and later as a grocery delivery boy. He became a bookkeeper and then a stockholder in an KvansviJle foundry firm. Hissplcndkl executive and administrative ability soon won recognition and he became known as "the man who docs things." In the face of a heavy Republican majority he was elected councilman-at-Inrge of Evansvillc. His splendid service in this capacity coupled with his esecutiv ability and his faculty of securing vote from all classes of citizenskip regardle of party affiliations caused his nomination for Mayor of Evansvillc on the Democratic ticket, and his election. His record as the chief exccuiK-o of Evansville is known all over Indiana and his administration of the affairs of that city has set a now standard for those that follow. In the face of largo Republics majorities he has twice been elected to Congress. Mr. Bochno's friends arc lotting it be known that he is in the race for Governor to tho finish and are pressing the claims of their candidate at every opportunity.

A white man ono evening tried to explain to some members of an African tribe, the Mobunghi, the wondera of the steam engine and steamship. He drew diagrams on Jhe 6and, and tho audience listened and looked with apparently intense interest. At last he asked his hearers whethkr they understood. "Yes," they replied; they thought they did.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

r$ence of Mind In tho Fact ef a Terrible Danger. , One of the strangest incidents o tho sepoy rebellion is told by William VorltiM Mitchell in his "Reminiscences of the Great Mutiny." Mr. M. '' !, who was pcrgcant of a higlihi '. n- Anient, had the misfortune ' ' i -. battle to loso tho greatiou; !:;ch every soldier carried o. liii in what was known m a "Criir :.n roll" and strapped to the shot ;..!c. ä in such manner that it crossed the breast: Many a man owed his life to tho fact that bullets became spent in passing through these rolls. It happened that in the heat of the light my roll was cut right tbr mgh where the two ends were fastened together by the stroke of a keen edged tulwar, which wa3 intended to cut me. As the day was warm, I was rather glad to get rid of it, but by 10 o'clock at night there was a difference in temperature, and when I was relieved from patrol duty and wanted to lio down to clccp felt the cold, wet grass anything but comfortable, for a kilt is not tho most suitable article of dress on & cold Xovember night in upper India. My company was encamped in and about the tomb of tho first king of Oudh. A large inclosuro surrounded tho building of the tomb itself, and on the inside of this were small rooms built for the accommodation of pilgrims. WTien I entered thö inclosure I noticed theso apartments and asked permission to sleep in one of ihem, but was refused. I had to mako the best of my position, but wa3 too uncorafortablo to sleep. It struck me that some of the seCoys might havo dropped their lankets m their hurried departure With this hepo I went into one of tho rooms where a lamp was burn-. ing, took it off tho shelf and walked to the door of the great domed mosque or tomb. I peered into tho dark, but could see nothing, so I adranced slowly, holding tho lamp over my head, looking cautiously around until I was in the center of the great vault, where my progress was obstructed by a big black heap about four or five feet high, which felt to my feet Like looso sand. I lowered my lamp and discovered I was standing ankle deep in loos TunpoTder. About "forty hunurcuv. .1 under my nose, and ; L. uie twen! same su' p around showed thirtv barrels of the : . iKor a hundred !.' !-. r'l loaded and; eight-inc!; with fmcs :..cd, und a profusion of snare fuses and slow matches lvinsr about. 1 tk in my danger at a glance. There I was, up to my knees nearly ui gunpowder, with a naked light in my hand. My hair literally stood on end, and my knees knocked together. Cold perspiration broka out all over me. I had neither,cloth nor handkerchief in my pocket with which to extinguish my light, and the next moment might be my last, for tho overhanging wick already threatened to send tho smoldering red top to my feet, with consequences too dreadful to contemplate. Quick as thought I put my, left hand under the down dropping flame and, clasping it firmly, slowly turned to tho door. Fear so overcarao all other sensation that I felt no pain of the burn until I was outside. Then, it wns sharp enough. I poured tho oil from the lamp into my burned hand. Then 1 knelt down and thanked God. Kcxt I slnggercd to Captain Dawson and told him. He did not believe me md told me I had waked up from a dream. I showed him the powder Etill sticking on my wet feet. Ho instAntlyirouied the sleeping men and quenched" every spark of fire on the premises. Willie, you are Just as bad as ye can be."
