A boy drove Into the city, hH wagon loaded down
With food to feed the poo plo of tbo nrltlsh-governf d
town
And the little black-eyed rebel, so cunning and so
sly,
Was watching for his coming from tbo corner of her
cjo.
Ills faeo looked broad and honest, his bands were
brown and tough,
Tho clothes be wore upon him wcro homcsrun,
coarso and rough ;
But one there was who watched him, wh long time
lingered nigh,
And cast at him sweet glances from tho corner of
hereje.
He drove up to tho market, he waited In the llno
Ills apples nd potatoes were fresh and fair and fine;
nut long and long ho waited, and no onu came to

TALE OF THE FltO.NTIEl!.
Tliero liuel been a murder at Red Fox
Run, one of lhe tributaries of tbo Smoky
Hill River, in Western Kansas.
A murder was not a novel thing in those
days, for of the eighteen men bleeping in
tho unfenced graveyaitl on lop of the mi-
duluting tight bank of Reel Fox Run, not
one of them had died n natural death.
Eleven hnd been killed in the minnicr of
'G7, by tho combined band of Saiitanter
and Roman Xose, when all the tribes on
tho plains united against tho whites four
had been killed iu her bar-room rows, erne
in u duel, and two by Wild Horse Smith,
one of the most noliel desperadoes that had
ever coino to Red Fox.
Rut Willi llorso Smith was tried by a
jury, tach time, at but a few heJtrrs after tho
crimes, and it was proved to the satistuction
of his peers, that tho dead men pulled first,
but tMnith.with his usual luck and dexterity,
got iu .tho firi-t shot,
In view of theso facts, no jury of that
kind, and in Unit day, could do otherwise!
than to bring iu a verdict of justlfiablu
homicide, so Wild Hoiso Smith was ae
ijuitleil, and became lhe model of tho many
bad men, and tho terror of tho few good
ones.
Ho was ft tall, bony njan of thirty-live,
with giuy eyes, long, dark hair, and long,
leuthery cheeks, as devoid of beard as tbo
plains about Red Fox Run were of trees.
Eonr or live families had moved into this
part of theSlute, to a farm in tho rich bot
tom. Among them was "Ztichary" Jlow
inau, who had n family consisting of Ids
wifo and children, tho oldest, Sarah,
a hnndtouie, healthy-looking girl of twen
ty. As there wcro very few young ladies in
Red Fox compared to tho number of men,
and as there was not ono who at all e.ei it ullcel
Sarah Ruwman in personal churnn, sho at
onco becamo tho belle of the tettlcmcntuid,
was besieged by u dozen marriageable men,
among whom Wild llorso Smith stood llrst
iu his own opiuloiL J
Tliero was another young man, named
Hcnzy, who wbh very devoted, and still
another, Frank Colton, it sturdy, steady
young fellow of some five or six and
twenty.
So prudent was Sarah Ilnwman, that nt
one of her admirers felt himself to bu the
favond one. Hut it must not bo imagined
from tills that sho had not a preference.
Tliero was ono whoso foot-lull was very wel
come, whose picpeneo shortened the hours,
nnd whoo volco was music, and this was
Frank Colton. IIo did not know his good
fortune, for he never, being a bnshlul fellow,
told bis love.
The people often discussed the chances of
the rivals, und the shrewd ones "reckoned
it lay between Wild Horse Smith, Hcnzy,
and Frank Colton," willi the chances of
winning in favor of tho first, as It wasn't
thought to he safe to run against Smith for
ntiytliin;?, and more than one was afraid the
rivalry would enii in trouble.
hethcr Sarah ISowniau was the cnu'e
or not, there was a man murdered at Red
Fox Run,
The body was found about two miles
from the settlement, up tho stream, and
when it was brought in, lying across a
hor-c, everybody that saw the body, ami
that was everybody lu thu settlement, re
cognized it at once as thu remains of young
Henzv.
lie had not been killed by tho Indians
the most unpractical eyo could see th.it
at a glance, lor apart Irom tho bullet hole iu
his head nud two in his breast, the body had
not been mutilated. The long hair and the
clothing was as intact as when, on the day
hclore, he had been seen to tide awav witli
Frank Colton.
The news of tho murder and tho fact that
S.irah Rowman was dangerously tick with a
fever, that rendered her unconscious, came
to the people together; and, of course, the
girl's illness was attributed to the shuck
llenzy's death gave her, and from this the
pen plo reasoned that the murdered man was
the favorite.
Ilcfore Hcnzy was buried on the hill above
Red Fox Run, making the number nineteen,
twelve of the enlightened 'cttlers be id an
inquest, and Wild llorso Smith n mud
foreman. To be sure it was hardly a legal
body, as there was not a coroner within one
hundred miles j but tho settlers were de
termined to go through the legal forms, as
they had when they tried their foreman, nnd
so they examined all the wounds, made all
the inquiry they could as to who had been
withllenzy, and although no information
was given them that they were not aware of
the twelve men with all legal solemnity,
locked themselves up in the faro room of the
Coyote Saloon, and with some spiritual re
freshments on the table, sat down to solve
the ni) story of Henzy's murder.
Frank Colton hnd a great many friends
iu the settlement, for he was honest, tem
perate, nnd industrious ; but as the foreman
of that jury put the ca-e, the warme-t friend
of the young man was forced to think
"things looked bad agin Frank, and his
sliiyin' away is a powerful strong p'int."
The people were not therefore surprised
when the jury asserted, as their verdict
first, that Hcnzy was murdered with some
fire arm, and second, that all the evidence
pointed to Frank Colton as the man who
fired the shots.
One, two weeks passed, and still Franlj
Colton, as if dreading to come near the
-eene of his crime, remained away, though
his crops needed his attention.
All they wanted now to perfect the trial
was the culprit, whom they were prepared
to hang the moment ho put in an appear
a nee.
Tliero was a considerable flutter in Red
Fox Run, when, on the fifteenth morning,
smoke was seen rushing from Frank Col
ton's house, and an examination of the
premises developed tho fact that the owner
of the house wasnt home.
A few hours from this time the twelve
jurors, with Wild Horso Smith at their
head, nnd rifles on their shoulders, walked
down in military order, surrounded tho
house, and called em Frank Colton to come
out.
There was not a little surprise on their
pint when Frank walked boldly out wilh
his left arm iu a sling, and looked nt his
neighbors villi such astonishment in his
faro, that if it wero not genuine, showed
that he was an actor of no ordinary type.
As foreman of that jury, it becamo Wild
llorso Smith's duty (lie did it with a won
derful amount of cheerfulness, however,)
to inform Frank bo was a prisoner, anil
why.
Tho twiWe men saw Frank Ceilton's faco
turn ashy palc.and he staggered to the houso
for support, as bopa"ped :
"Hcnzy murdered?"
"lie's number nineteen, up (bar on tho
hill," replied Smith, nodding iu that di
rection. "We'll give ye a fair trial, Frank,
but you motit nsvull know that everything's
agin ye, an' everybody on Red Fox Run has
made up their mind that you killed Henry,"
s.iid onu of the men who was a great stickler
fur law and order.
Frank Colton denied it then, but it was
too late. Ho was made a prisoner and
marched down to the Coyote Saloon, where
u court was nt onco e-tnblislud, and Wild
Horse Smith, having shewn unexpected le
gal acumen as foreman of the coroner's jury,
was silected as judge.
Everybody was tliero but Sarah llowman.
ho was in bed, worn down wilh her fever
and barely over her delirium.
The trial went on with a rapidity that
would slartle an Eastern Court of justice,
and it was shown that Frank Colton was the
last person seen witli tho murdered man ;
that be was himself wounded, as by the re
sistance ofl'eied by tho wounded man ; that
he fled and remained nway two weeks ; und
finally, that tliero was a motive for the act,
as they were both utitors for tho s.imo girl's
hand, and for sumo time an ill feeling was
supposed to exist between them,
Thu jury camo to thu conclusion without
leaving thu chairs, which had been brought
from tho Coyote Saloon for their accommo
dation. They found Frank Colton guilty
of tho murder wilh which ho was charged,
Then Wild llorso Smith, who had reason
to know something of tho judicial form of
proceeding in tuch cases, asked Frank if ho
could offer any icason why sentence of death
should not be passed.
In reply, Frank acknowlulged that when
ho left tho settlement Hcnzy was lu Ids
company, and that they had ever been
friends. Ho parted with Hcnzy up tho run,
and continued himself toward Fort Harker,
whero he expected money from his friends
in tho Fust. That when ho ivus about Im
miles from tho pctllemciit, ho was hlmcif
shot by some person or persons socrolcd near
hi route. That his arm was broken, and
ho would have come back at once, but fell
In w ith an armv train returning from Fond
Creek, and tho surgeon gave hlin all Atten
tion, and took him ou to Hurkcr, where
he had been for ten days under attend
ance This was all said in a plain fearless way
that accounted for everything, and should
have carried conviction with it ; but thu
judge had mtxlc up Ids mind, nnd with well
alfected solemnity, passed the sentence ol
death, and then pointed to a tree back of
the Coyote Saloon as a very suitable place
for the execution.
There was no want of ropes, and Frank
Colton was ut once seized, and the jury,
with wonderful zeal, were about to pick him
up nnd carry hlin to the tree, when they
wcro startled by a piercing cry, and the next
instant, Sarah liowiiian,, pule us u spectre,
with her hair disheveled, and her brown
eyes twice their usual size, milled in and
threw her arms about Frank Colton.
".Men you aro about to become murder
ers?" she shrieked, and the bravest started
back iu affright.
'Do you want tho murderer of Henzy?"
she asked, fastening her eyes ou Wild Ilorsu
Smith.
"Yes ! Yes 1" cried the crowd.
"Then seize him ! 1 saw him do the deed,
ind there he Mauds I'
Her lung white linger was pointed at
Smith, who now turned livid, fiuined at the
mouth, and finally hissed,
'It's a lie!"
'Seize him before he escapes, and hear me
out."
There was a ring of coniiuiind iu her
voice, and some of the party drew their
pistol", and laid their hands on the judge.
Then Sarah Hnwiuau fold h"W sho had
been up the run, gathering flowers, the
morning of the murder ; how "he :iw Henzy
and Fr.ink Colton shaking hands when tliev

soon after which she he aid thr.'f hot ; and
then iw Smith galloping mhiiv n if in
pur-uit ol (Vlton.
"Wild Hor.-o Smith is lhe only man in
this part of tho country who has a Spencer
rillrt ; and here are three hells I found
near Henzy's body. Whose gun will lliey
fit?"
The shells were passed from hand to hand:
they were Smith's, the b idv wu- exhumed,
and tho balls found to lit tli shells, and
Frank Colton showed a similar ball that had
been taken fiom his arm.
How quick the current of public opinion
changed, and how bravely they resisted
Smith's efiorts to get away I They mnv
through all and felt that the brave girl's
illne-s was the result of the shock the niur
eler gave her. Ho ennfe-sed, defiantly, mid
was hanged back of the Coyote Saloon, with
thu rope that was prepared for Colton. Then
another grave was add.-d to those on the
hank of Red Fox Run -number twenty
and the bit of board at lhe head had rudely
carved on it "Wild llor-e Smith, banged for
the murder of Henzy."
Red Fox Run is a well to-eln, law-abiding
place now, within sound of the locomotive
whistle. Sarah Row man is Mrs. Colton, and
while Frank thinks her the best woman in
the world, everybody iu th.it region thinks
her the bravest.

It has been lately mentioned that the
competition of the United Slates witli Rus
sia in tlio wheat supply has produced a great
depression at Odessa, the principal grain
market of tho Illack Sea. Tho Unitd
States arc evidently destined to do much to

Europe, is sparsely settled, so that the pro
duction is far ahead of the consumption, to

and of machinery for cutting and marketing
and greater facilities for tr.in-portation.
Wheat, however, is only one of the articles
of food which we can export to advantage.
American cheese, fish and oysters are now
found in most of the English and Continen

which have been made of American heef are
a great triumph, and if they lead to a large

OlAKT'S CAUSF.WAY.
A most remarkable fight was witnessed n
few mornings ago nt tho Giant's Causeway,
between a fox and two ravens. The circum
stances, as witnessed by several persons, are
that Reynard wished to breakfast oil the ra
vens. To clu'ct his purpose It was necessary
for Reynard to have rccourso to strategy ,and
thereby to make up for tlio want of a pair of
wings. Ho, therefore, witli his provcrbla1
cunning, feigned himself asleep convenient
to putrid carrion lying on tlio rocks, nml
much to the annoyance of the ravens, who,
doubtless, would have thought ills absence a
cordial one. Tho ravens, notwithstanding
thu iissiinieil innocence of the fox, watched
his actions with grave suspicions, iu conse
quence of which he was unsuccessful, In sev
eral of las preparatory movements, to cap
ture one of them. Rut ids intentions being
su manifest, the anger of the ravens was fair
ly aroueil at the selfi-hness displayed, and
they seemed, by their thieatcning attitude,
determined to contest tho matter inch by
inch.
Waiving, therefore, their claims to the
carrion, one of them swept round to his head
and the other to his tall. The fox, suspect
ing nothing, was sleeping ns belore, but the
r.iven at his tail smartened him with a pow
ful dab. Ho (thu fox) took as little notice
of it in possible, and was again beginning to
enjoy his nap, when another thundering
d.ih was administered to him by the raven at
his head. This time the fox was observed
to winco as if ho felt uncomfortable sensa
tions in his cerebellum, hut, after moving a
little, he resumed ids recumbent position,
apparently in peaceful slumber. Xordid ho
give up his little game till five or six exper
iments had been tried upon him. At last,
however, lie awoke wilh a roar of agony, and
it wis thought by the onlookers that tho ra
ven, in its vivisecting operations, had pected
the eyu out of him. Thu fox, now realizing
his position and the true state of affairs, was
forced to act on thu defensive, and to give
battlo in real earnest. At this stage the
anxiety of the spectators became intense,
and the Nuno of the combat was looked fur
wilh more than ordinary interest. The r.i
veils held to the position they had .it firM
taken up, and while one was flaying his tail
with a rapid succession of keen strokes, the
one at the head was doing its utmost to pig'
eon-hole that organ. Of course, as the fox
snapped lit the onu that tormented him last,
the ravens acted the heller pArt of valor and
rtt rented alternately.
In this muiiner tho warfare was carried on
for over two hours with varying success, at
one lime on the side of the ravens, and anon
iu favor of "the fox. Rut, ou the w'uo'o, the
balance was in favor of the ravens, us the
fox was much dragged and weakened. Xev
erlhi'less it was still a matter of uncertainty
which would gain tin? victory. The ravcus
eluiiiig tills time had continued to carry on
tlie fight with a tact that would hav e done
credit to mora rational beings. The couse
quoiit confusion and worry told plainly em
the fox, seeing that he became more reckless
as the fight w.ixcd hotter, and, as a necessa
ry consiqueuce, weaker ;md weaker from re
peated blows. At this juncture they hud
worked or fought up to the rock on which
the carrion had been deposited. The raven
at the enemy's tail had again tickled hlin
and, after doing so, the one nt the head gave
him a fearful punch, upon whie i the fox
turned alter him in great fury. The nno at
his tuil again performed, and, during the
passage of the fox after the other raven.gave
him a sound onward thud, accelerating his
speed so much that lie lost his balance, and
tumbled headlong into the water, amid the
plaudits of tho spectators and tho exulting
croak of the ravens. Dcrry (Inland) Stan

Tho Xcw York Herald publishes ft deS'
patch from I'oughkeepsie, Xew York, giv
mg an account ol a recent eruption or up
heaval iu tho highlands at the base of Su
gar l.oal .Mountain. 1 lie eruption ap ears
to have taken place ou Wednesday last.
when there was a violent upheaving of the
earth, accompanied by a loud report and
great quantities of dirt wero thrown down
tho mountain. Tliero were two upheavals
on Wednesday night and one on Thursday
morning, each followed by tlio fall of ad
ditional quantities of earth, so that the
amount of debris has greatly increased since
Wednesday noon. A large white wood tree,
about a foot iu diameter and fifty feet high,
was hurled a thousand feet, from the top of
the hill to the railroad track below where it
struck a boulder and was split in half. A
gardener living near the scene of the up
heaval, says that tho land was saturated
witli water, several streams running through
tbo grounds, and that theso streams have re
cently disappeared. On this statement the
theory is put forth that an immense quantity
of water percolating through the sandy soil
met nt ono point and formed an undeigrouiid
lake, which having filled up the cavern iu
which it had formed, at length found a vent
for its growing volume of water by lifting
tho earth nbovo it and hurling it down the
hillside. The water released from its prison
rudicd down the mountain side, cutting deep
ravines and carrying everything before it.
(Ircat throngs of people visit tho sceno of
tho upheaval daily to see tho embankments
of tho ravines anil cavern crumblo nway and
fall into tho chasms left by the streams of
water.

when ho entered n whole-sale house on

Attic Salt.
Thackeray, on sitting down to one of Del-
monico's consummate spreads, exclaimed,
"Xow, boys, don't let us say a word." This
showed, undoubtedly, a nice appreciation
ot the good things before hiin, nnd ft general
uiitwn dt'tlin renulrpments for the satisfactory.
disposition of a choice feast. Though se
rious discourse of any kind, involving tho
wrangle of argument or the tcdiousness of
long narrative and stolid sermonizing, should
lie banished from the table and be relegated
to tho political hall, the bar, tho newspa-per-ofilce,
and tho pulpit, whence they usu
ally come, entire bilence while eating is by
no means desirable. "Chatting food," says
the old proverb, "is half diverted," and there
is no doubt that quiet and agreeftbic con
versation at meals increases enjoyment and
facilitates digestion. The crisp remark, the
brisk banter, the tart gassip, tho spicy an
ecdote, tho sparkling wit and bubbling hu
mor, when served up iu the intervals be
tween the various courses of a meal, have all
the exhilarating effect of wine without its
danger, prevent dull pauses, and sustain that
lively llow of the animal spirits so favor
able to the duo performance of every func
tion, especially that of the stomach and its
associated organs. The intrusion, however,
of serious discourse nud topics of business
requiring deep thought and awakening grave
reflection or anxious emo'.ioti is fatal to good
digestion.
Tlio reputation of many nwit, humorist,
and philosopher is greatly duo to their say
ings at the dinner or supper. From Rabelais
down to Charles Lamb, eating and drink
ing have ever been associated with wit and
humor ; and they and Johnson, Uurke, Sher
idan, Rogers, Sydney Smith, Hook, and
many others would without their table-talk
Irwn half their fame. Hen .Tousnn wa3 in
Ids best aril merriest mood over his sack or
ale, and is it not Shr.ksprare himself who
speaks of "setting thu table in a roar :"
These were all, for tho most part, hearty and
thriving feeders, and who can doubt that
the Attic salt with which they seasoned
their fea-t stimulated tho taste, excited de
sire, and strengthened tho digestion which
waits ou appetite? Dr. Roult.t Tomf.s, iu

A Xr.v "What is it? 'The "man bug"

cious lool'lug eyes nud two horny mandibles
of ii like color and a decidedly snappish ap
pearance. It has no nppcr.iuce of wings.
