Benny’s Adventure.

1 “Have you heard of the lion which has latelv been prowling about-the country breaking into corrals, and carrying off pigs and poultry?” asked one pioneer of another, as ne took a seat by the cheerful fireside In his neighbor’s cabin, in the Green River Valley ofWyoming, “Yefi. He broke Into our corral last night and carried off* a calf. It was one that Benny claimed, and he can scarcely becon soled for its loss,” replied the host, glancing toward a bright little boy of four years, who stood near. The child’s eyes filled with tears, and he said, “Papa, I’ll go and find it; I won’t let the big lion eat my poor little pet.” The men laughed. “Pet would Ik? glad to sec you coming, but you look like a small specimen to fight a lion,” said the father. The.neighbor remained a couple of hours, recounting marvelous ,j and thrilling adventures amid the rugged scenes in which the greater part of his life and been passed; and absorbed in hi» conversation, no one noticed the child when he took his little cap and mittens, and quietly left the house. The winter had been severe. The snow lay deep upon the plains, and the howling of the wolves were nightly heard as they searched for prey under cover of darkness, and retreated to their dens with the approach of daylight. The lion had apparently descended from ids home in the mountains to feast upon the tempting Herds which constituted the principal wealth of the settlers, and repeated depredations were rendering lii&i a terror to the neighborhood. “Where is Benny ? asked the mother, as she looked up from her sewing and missed the pleasant face from the group around the fireside. “He must Be out at the stable with John,” said the father; but inquiry revealed the fact that he had not been there. One place after another was searched without finding any trace of the little one. The • last recollections that any one had of him was when he had announced his intention of finding his pet. “Oh, the lion has carried off my child!” exclaimed the mother in terror and alarm, as she reflected that at least two hours had elapsed since he had been noticed by any of the family. “He may have followed after Mr. Brown,” said the father, seizing his rifle; “I will look in that direction, and John and Thomas can go in another.”

The two brothers, aged respectively eighteen and twenty, nastily grasped their rifles, and hastened away, lea\> ingthe mother in an agony of fear and suspense terrible to endure. "Which way shall wego, John?”asked the younger brother, as they stepped out side the door. “Let us walk out beyond all the places where the snow has been: trampled; and then strike a circle around tHe premises until we find his track,” replied the other. This plan was quickly acted upon, and in a short time they were rewarded by finding a little footprint, which scarely indented the snow which had settled compactly to the earth, yet' distinct enough to be easily followed. “All right,” said Thomas, cheerfnliy; “We will soon find him now.”

“He has gone straight to the river. If he does not fall through an opening in the ice, we will overtake him • shortly,” replied the elder brother. They had traveled a mile or more, when they discovered a track recently made in the snow by some large and powerful animal. The long and sharp claws were plainly imprinted, and ft needed no second glance to tell the brothers that it was the track of the ravenous mountain lion. It came up at nearly right angles, then turned and followed straight on after the little footprints of the cherished brother. For an instant they looked Bilently into each other’s faces, and read the terrible fear that sent the life current back upon their hearts, and blanched their cheeks to ashy paleness, and then sped rapidly over the snow-cov-ered ground toward the river. Not a word passed between the brothers until they stood upon the bank, with nothing intervening save the growth of the willows which fringed the stream, when Thomas exclaimed, “Oh, John, I never can bear It! I dare not look down upon the ice. If I should see —Hark! what was that?” For a moment the brothers listened intently. It was a child’s voice in an agony of grief aud terror, pleading Slaintively with some threatened anger, “Oh, please go ’way, you big, naughty dog; Benny’s so’fraid! Ido wish my brother Johnny’d come and take me!” , The touching voice broke down in 'childish sobs, and in another moment the brothers had pressed through the willows, and stood upon the brink, gazing down upon the scene before them. Scarcely a hundred feet distant the child was standing on the ice, and walking round and round him, as if uncertain of the nature of his prey, was that savage mountain lion. The child had heard him coming down the bank, and turned and faced him. That act alone had delayed the fatal spring; but now, as if tired of his trifling, and unwilling longer to delay the promised feast, he crouched low upon the ice, in a catlike attitude, with his fierce eyes fixed upon the trembling innocent before him. “Quick, Tom! God help us!” said the elder brother, in a husky whisper, as he raised his rifle to his A rapid glance along the glistening barrels, a rimultaneous report of two rifles, and the savage beast sprang upward into the air, then fell hack upon the ioe, and rolled over and over in the agonies of death. With the discharge or their rifles,.the brothers bounded to the spot, and the little one reached his hands toward the elder brother, saying, “Take me, Johnny; I’se so coid?^ “I did come, you poor little lambi” i said the great strong fellow, lifting the i tiny form in his arms, while the tears ' streamed down his cheeks. He un- J buttoned the warm wolf-skin over- : coat, and holding the shivering child j i against his manly breast, rebuttoned 1

it over him, then turned to his other brother, who had dropped upon his knees on the lee, “Come, Tom, let ns hasten and relieve the anxiety at home.” But the intense strain upon the boy’s nerves had been too much tor his endurance, and it was several moments before he was able to rise. “Don’t tell mother bow near the Hon came getting Benny; it will be like a nightmare to her for weeks to come.” said the thoughtful boy, as they climbed up the bank, after Thomas’ strength had been somewhat recovered.

After Benny had been placed in his mother’s arms, amid the general reoicingof the family, and the boys lad partially rested from their rapid walk, they privately informed their father that tney had seen the mountain lion, and requested him to go with them to find It. He readily complied, and they were soon on the way to the river.. this is the direction in which you found Ifcnny!” said the father in a startled tone, as they neared the stream.

“Yes, father; and if the mere thoughtr of it frightens you, imagine our feelings when we had to shoot the lion to save him,” replied John. “Thomas came as near fainting as great strong boys ever do; and how we ever steadied our nerves enough to take a sure aim at him is more than I can tell.” “God surely helped you,” said the father, as he paused upon the bank, and turned white at the thought of his child’s peril, as he beheld the carcass of the beast lying upon the ice where they had left him. It was an animal of unusual size, and made a soft and beautiful robe, which was presented to Benny in remembrance of his providential deliverance. —Home Magazine.

Military Drill.

Wendell Phillips, who is on the off side of every subject, has now devoted hiluseif to the question of military drill in schools, and embodies his views in a contribution to the Boston Advertiser, wherein he pronounces it to be a harmful and unchristian innovation. “Exercise is one thing; training every child for military service and inoculating him with military taste and longings is entirely another,” says the dyspeptic Mr. Phillips. As Mr. Phillips’ utterances are apt to carry great weight with them, notwithstanding that ho usually enrolls himself on the contrary ‘ side of tiuestions, his declarations are worthy of some consideration.

It has always been the policy of this Government to maintain a standing army. At present, through the prejudices and hatred of the democratic party, the standing army is so insignificant in size that it barely avails to keep the strggling bands of Indians on the western plains in anything liko order. Tke littlo band is broken up into so many small detachments, and so widely scattered, that in case of anything like a dangerous riot In tlio larger cities or a general uprising of the turbulent classes where the militia is powerless, it would take days, if not weeks, to accumulate a sufficient force at a given point to have auy effect. In case of war with any foreign Power or another civil outbreak like the war of the rebellion, their numbers would be ludicrously insignificant. The main reliance *of the country, therefore, in trouble at home or In case of a foreign complication, is the National Guard or militia composed of the young men of the country and increased sufficiently to cope with the trouble. Every man, under certain conditions, is liable to be called upon to do his duty in the militia service. A well-trained militia is the safety of the country. As this is a duty which every man owes ids country, and as in a volunteer militia system, so radically differing from the system in foreign countries, where service is compulsory, drill and training are rarely attained, what better place is there in which to commence the system than the public school? Very few scholars may ever be called to put their training to practical use, but the elementary knowledge of military science will stand them in good stead should such atime come. In that emergency we should have skilled men instead of awkward squads and raw recruits. Mr. Phillips has little occasion to fear that because scholars in publio schools are drilled in the evolutions of infantry and the manuel of arms therefore they are all to become soldiers and lose tli ir relish for the practical duties of life. In cose of danger, the Americas people have always been ready to spring to arms, bilt this is due to their patriotic impulses and not to their love of military life. They are not a military people but a commercial people. Their predilection is for business, literature, and the professions, and were every scholar in the public schools to be compelled to drill, not one in a hundrea of them would choose the-career of the soldier, even if it were open to him.

There is another view of military training which is of the highest importance. The great defect of our public school system is the systdln of cramming knowledge i into pupils’ heads without paying sufficient attention to their physical development The mens sanci in corpore sano is a maxim rarely heeded in our schools. All sorts of studies, are crammed into them with such rapidity that it becomes difficult to find room for new ones without ejecting the old, so that no one thing is loarned thoroughly. Meanwhile, as the mind develops the body dwindles, and pale faces, disordered stomachs, ana stooping forms are common attributes of our scnolars. Military training is a splendid physical exercise. It gives the boy an upright carriage and firm step, strong arms and legs, and well-developed chest, besides enkindling in the boy a feeling of self-respect and personal honor. There is no branch of the public service that develops the gentleman more rapidly than the military, not alone in personal self-respect, but in respect for superiors, and in all the manly qualities. It would make the boy more healthy, more manly, and a better citizen every way. It is not too late for Mr. Phillips himself to test the truth of these remarks. Gentle exercise in evolutions and in carrying a musket would improvo his own health and unquestionably cure him of that dyspeptio tendency of stomach which makes him take the off side and regularly oppose every project which does not originate with himself. Mr. Phillips was a strenuous opposerof slavery, but where would the cause of anti-slavery .be now if it had been left to talk alone and the militia of the country had not rescued the negro from that servitude in which ho would still have remained if his rescue liad depended upon Mr. Phillips’ talking. —Chicago limes.

A Well-Filled Penny.

1 Not long ago I saw one of the old English pennies that was coined in the reign of George 111. It was very large and thick and heavy, and looking at this clumsy old coin reminded me of one that a shopkeeper near London once took at his counter.

It seemed to him so heavy that he looked at it closely and found it had been divided and fastened together by a fine screw. He unscrewed it and found inside a half-penny divided in the same way; he opened that, and there was a farthing; and inside of that a half-farthing. The date was 1799. Probably that curious old penny had been going on its travels for years, and boys and girls had had it in their pockets, little thinking that there were three colas Inside oiit.

Great Britain in South Africa.

The small wan of conquest which Great Britain has undertaken of late years have not, as any candid Briton will admit added to the national renown. Foreigners are entirely at a roes to find any motive at all, creditable or otherwise, for these assaults on u noffendl ng people. Bat foreigners do not sufficiently consider the necessities of the case. For many years now —in fact ever since cheap coal, cheap iron and cheap labor gave her the onchallenged lead of the world as a manufacturing nation—it has become more and more desirable for Great Britain to extend the markets for British manufacture. Of late years this object, so long desirable, has become an object of vital necessity. The British islands are thronged with people who have been encouraged to exist, as one may say. by the great prosperity which British manufactures nave given to the nation under, free trade. The soil of the British islands cannot feed the people who inhabit them.' A large proportion of the foodsupply of Great Britain is and must be imported, and most of this imported supply comes from the United States. A nation which cannot raise food for its people is already in a weak and perilous condition, as any extensive foreign war in which such a nation might engage would at onoe make manifest. But the inherent weakness and peril of such a position are In the

case of great Britain enhanced by the peculiarity of the relations with this countrv. By reason of our hostile tariff, as Englishmen maintain, we do not buy of Great Britain anything like what we sell to her. The balance of trade between .Great Britain and the United States has during five, years at least been steadily, and during tho most of these years, largely in favor of this country. This difference must somehow be made up, and the only way in which it can be made up is,to find new customers for that proportion of British products which would l>e needed to adjust the exchanges of Great Britain with the United states. It will be seen, we repeat, that the finding of new markets is an absolute necessity of the British situation. The dread of “over-pro-duction” and of its consequences, which at this time and in Englanc would be simply frightful, can only be allayed by stimulating “over-con-sumption.” The result is seen in the recent policy of Great Britain in the East, in India, in Afghanistan, in China and Japan as well as South Africa. There is scarcely any parallel in modern history to the* overbearing and unscrupulous policy which England has followed in her dealings with weak nations in tho East, compared with the feebleness and timidity of her European policy, if indeed, except in the theatrical appearance of Lord Beaconsfield at Berlin, England can be said to have had any European policy. But both the truculence of English viceroys and agents in the East and the humility of English statesmen inTJui’opo are not merely intelligible but pardonabio when wc oonsider that tho Asiatic and African policy of England presents itself as a course dictated by the instinct of selfpreservation. It belioovos us still more to bear this in mind, inasmuch as their sole excuse for their outrage upon peaceable neighbors is one wHich obviously neither British Ministers at Westminster nor the diplomatic and military representatives of Great Britain in tho east can plead for themselves. The necessities of tho case will not bear public presentation. These considerations explain, perhaps, what to foreigners need explanation—the almost complete apathy with which the stories of outrages committed under color of British authority in the east have been received in the British Parliament and by the British public in general. But these outrages have not lacked earnest and outspoken condemnation from Englishmen who felt them as a personal disgrace. Curious to say, the most effective censors of these usurpations have been British officers. The arraignment of Lord Lytton’s treacherous behavior to the Ameer of Afghanistan was most forcibly and most intelligently made by Colonel Osborne in the Contemporary Review. The clearest exposure of the bad faith and the tyranny of which England has been guilty towards the unfortunate Boers lias been made by Colonel Butler in the current number of the same periodical. Colonel Butler makes it clear that for more than a generation there has been a persistent persecution of the Boers by British authority, and that during the whole of this period the Boers have been actuated by the single motive of getting clear and keeping clear of British authority. It was in 1835 that a large number of the British farmers of Cape Colony moved from under the protecting aegis of tho British Constitution “over the then organized boundary of Britisli dominion,” avowedly in order to escape British rule. In the address which they made public at the time the leaders of the movement declared: “We quit this colony under the full assurance that the English Government lias nothing more to require of us, and will allow us to govern ourselves without its interference in future,” f

The British Attorney-general of Cape Colony gave it as his official opinion that the Colonial Government had no (power either to prevent the migration o 1 these men or to follow them to their new retreats. The emigrants sent to the Zulu chief of the barbarous region into which they had penetrated in order to arrange for a cession, but the Dutch envoys were “treacherously slain,” and It was not without hard fighting that they conquered their right to live away from British protection. Until they had established, themselves the Government of the colony had token no part in the struggle with the natives tor possession. “But now,” says Colonel Butler—

“But now, when all troubles were over, when foreign enemies had been vanquished, when the ‘Promised Land’ had been alloted. the towns laid out, the Volksraad established, a proclamation was issued declanng that it was necessary to protect everybody—the Zulus from the Boers and the Boers from the Zulus. This proclamation was followed by the movement of 100 regular troops and one field gun from the Cape to Natal.” This detachment .was withdrawn, however, after a few months, and the Boers cultivated their promised land in quiet until 1842, when a body of British troops took possession, in the queen’s name, of Port Natal. The Boers at once rose, but, finding] resistance hopeless, abandoned their country and pushed into a still remoter wilderness, alter the British commissioner had refused even to see their envoy. No sooner had they settled the new country to which the British had driven them than, in 1848, appeared a proclamation declaring the country between the Vaal and the Orange rivers to be British territory. That they rose again in revolt, says Colonel Butler, “can be matter to whom “faith is fiction and belief in the “justice of a cause is foolishness.” But they were outnumbered and beaten, and after a single fight they fled for the third time, and this time to the Transvaal. In 1852 the British government “guaranteed to the emigrant farmers beyond the Vaal river the right to manage their own affairs, to govern themselves according to their own laws without any interference on the part of.the British Govera-Twenty-five yeare lat *r, In 1877, the British government “annexed” the Transvaal. Is it any wonder that the public opinion of Europe should now be unanimous in sym-

pithy with the protest of Holland against this long continued persecution of the Dutch colonists, or that some Englishmen should be found to consider even the national necessity of extending markets for British goods less urgent than the necessity of abstaining from such a policy as that which has made the history of British rule in Sooth Africa a disgrace to the British nation ?—New York World.

Things by Wrong Names.

“Papa, what kind of wood do they make lead pencils of?” asked Charlie Greaves, as he looked from the paper upon which he was drawing an outline map. “From the wood of the red cedar,” replied Mr. Greaves, as he took a seat near his son. “It is principally obtained from Florida. It Is first thoroughly seasoned, sawed into strips, dried again, then cut to the proper size for pencils. They are grooved by machinery, the leads are glued into the grooves, and the other half bf the wood Sued on. It is a little odd that, tough we call them lead pencils, there is not a particle of lead in them.” Master Charlie looked keenly at his father, under a suspicion that he was quizzing him. “Why, papa, I can see the lead,”he affirmed. “And what else makes it mark?”

“Red lead is an oxide of lead, white lead is a carbonate of lead, but the black lead used in pencils is neither a metal nor a compound of metal. It is ? (lumbago, or graphite,—one of the brms of carbon. The graphite is ground fine, calcined, and mixed with pure clay, then baked in a crucible. The different proportions of graphite and clay produce the various grades of pencils. Leads intended for very fine work, such as architectural drawings, are reheated after the baking, and immersed In melted wax or suet.”

“Red cedar must be a very light wood,” surmised Charlie as he balanced his pencil on his fingers. “Where does rosewood get its name from ? Its color is not rose color.” “Older persons than you have been puzzled over the matter,” replied Mr. Greaves. ®Whcn the tree is first cut, tile fresh wood possesses a very strong rose-like fragrance. Hence the name was suggested by tire odor, and not by the color.” “Where are the trees found?” ‘.ln South America, and in the East Indies and neighboringislands. Borne of the trees grow so large that planks four feet broad and ten feet long are cut from them. These broad planks are principally used to make tops of {>iauo-fortes. When growing in the orests, the rose-tree is remarkable for its beauty.”— Ex. | .

Ypsilanti, Mich., Commercial.

Our representative lately learned the following from Mr. Carl Siegmund, corner * Congress and Washington streets: My daughter suffered from Rheumatism to such an extent that it crippled her, rendering her unable to walk at all. We consulted many physicians and used all kinds of medicines, hut in vain. At last Bt. Jacobs Oil effected the happiest results. It cured my daughter. In Oregon every man who drinks is required to take out a license costing five dollars. Unless armed with this document, he cannot get his bitters any hotel bar or saloon, since it is a penal offense for the proprietors of such establishments to sell to any person not so armed, as it were. Fancy a stylish young man, dry and thirsty, going into a saloon, and after calling for his lager, being met with the question, “Vere ish dot license vot you trinks by, eh?”

Auburn Inclined Plane Railroad, Cincinnati, Ohio, are among the myriads who have experienced the beneficial effects of that most remarkable remedy, St. Jacobs Oil, and who have testified to its efficacy in unqualified terms. A poor memory is a very inconvenient thing. So a man found it who lately called on a friend, and in the course of the conversation asked him how his good father was. “He is dead; did you not know it?” answered the friend. “Indeed! I am distressed to hear it,” said the visitor. “I had no idea of it;” and he gravely proceeded to express his sympathy. A year after he called again and forgetfully asked, “Andhow is your good father?” The clever reply was, “Still dead.”
