the nick of time, Winter interposed and
chained the Christinos to inaction. But I

ter Zumalacarreguy was indefatigable '
1 e had joined the war not to waste his
life harassing the Government as a mere
partisan, but to overthrow it as the lead
er of an army. And before the melting
of the snows that gave him the oppor
tunity he had moulded his followers
—hardly Silt) men all told—into the
nucleus of the instrument he de
sired. lie drilled them incessantly, and
he brought them into collision with the
Christinos under circumstances that
rendered success a certainty, thus giving
them the great essentials of soldiership
—consistence and confidence. He beat
up the Christino quarters here and there
and everywhere, quadrupling his force
by activity, all but sleepless and obi
quitons, and writing every error of his
opponents in their blood, until, in less
than a fortnight, he became their ter
ror. None of the smut ler posts were safe
from his swoop, and long before the frost
was over they were all withdrawn from
the inure distant valleys. Of these the
Carlists at once took possession, and
organized a government of their own in
the llastan, under the Presidency of the
priest Echeverria. And a very efficient
weapon it proved in his hands, its en
actment.; being obeyed everywhere,
save just on the spots occupied by the
Queen's troops: tor the people of the

of the revolt.
A fortnight after Zumalacarreguy
made a dash :it Estella--twenty-live
miles south-east of Pampeluna—and
was repulsed alter a sharp encounter.
" Never mind," said he to his fol
lowers as he withdrew; "better
luck next time." lour days after he
made a still more daring attack on
Vittoria, and all but took the
place. Ile had actually penetrated the
centre .f the city, when his Inou 0 tai 0-
eers, unable to resist the temptation,
seattered to plunder—especially the
%vine-cellars. While thus agreeably en
gaged, a panic seized them ; out they
'Haired from :mmHg, the casks ' and away
they ran in spite of their leader's efffirts
to rally them, leaving behind thirty of
their comrades who had achieved the
rather difficult feat of getting helplessly
drunk ill live minutes. Tlitis Vittoria
Was lost as quickly as it had been won.
Zunialacarreguy, however, carried Ml'
a good deal of plunder and 120 pri,
offers ; and as his own thirty stragglers
were immediately shot by the garrison,
he slaughtered every man of them. Nor
was this by any means the first instance
of the kind. From the outset of the
strife no quarter was the rule, and, fur
the first time since Religion had ceased
11/marshal armies, Europe saw the black
flag' with "the death's-head and cross
bones" wave over the ranks of battle,
and was horrified with a war of exter
mination. A few days liVer Zumalacar
reguy made his appearance with a shell;
der following under the walls of Pam pc
. lima. 'cite garrison took the bait. sallied
in strength, 11.1111 was decoyed several
marches 01l among the hills. Then, after
doing them as in uch mischief as he could,
the Earlist suddenly vanished. Tile Le
i wildered risti nos returned foot-sore to
the city, to find that the light-heeled
partisan had been there before them,
carrying, Mb a valuable convoy front the
very gates. A hundred similar feats
followed in quick succession. And
every Success strengthened his ranks,
ffir, on all occasions, his main ob
ject was the Christino tame. These
he gathered by tile score, and fur
every musket he captured he found
a dozen candidates among the moun
taineers. Indeed, his HO dispirited fu
gitives had multiplied by April to 7,01)0
daring soldiers ; and to a large extent
they were an army in eq.iipment as well
as in numbers and courage. It must be
allowed that in matters of dress they
presented rather a motley appearance.
Eniforms they had none, except the red
Itiscar cap and the hempen sandal.—
Along' with these some wore the provin
cial sheepskin jacket ; but the majority
were arrayed, as taste and fortune
willed, in thespoils of the enemy. There
was, however, up such variety in arm
ament. Each soldier carried musket
and bayonet, but neither cartridge
box our knapsack. Instead of the first
he sported a leather belt, buckling be
hind, and stowed in front with twenty
till tuLcs, each containing a single
charge ; and in place of the second he
Lure a canvas bag, holding a shirt, a pair
of sandals, and a day's provision, but
nothing else. Zumalacarraguy's arsenal
lying altogether in the enemy's ranks,
he was still, in spite of his successes,
short of many essentials. He had hardly
any cavalry. 'chat, however, consider
ing the character of the country, was of
very little consequence. A more serious
matter was that the strong places were
all in the hands of the enemy, while he
had no refuge but the hills. Nor could
he hope to Will one without a battering
trai n, and a, yet he possessed but a single
gull. This was an IS-pounder, at least
a century old, which had lain aban
dolled and rusting among the hills ever
Alice the War of Succession. It could
seldom be used for WantnialnlnUllitiOn
and then it was continually giving way
and undergoing amputation about the
muzzle ; so that it
-ccanw a by NVOI'd in
the army that the abusla, or grand
mother, as the piece was called, would
be no longer than a pistol lry the time
the war was over. On the other hand
the Christinos were well provided with
artillery, used it well, and frequently
owed their salvation to it Ilut the
Carlist chief was a man of infinite re
source, and having been joined by
Tomas Reyna, a young ollicer of engi
neers fresh from the military school,
he sent him up the Ilastan to cast a few
pieces out of pots, pans, and other such
articles. And after a world of trouble
and countless failures, Reyna succeeded
in producing four very serviceable mor
tars, to throw the shells which had been
taken from the enemy. These pieces
were buried among the hills until re
quired ; they were then dug up and
transported from village to village until
they reached the scene of action.—
This was the duty of the non-combat
anti, and as they, were responsible for
the safety of the guns as well as for their
transport, they took good care never to
be surprised at the work.
Finding the contest expand, the tiov
ernment organized a formidable body of
regulars for this especial service.—
'these, the Chapelgorras or Pesiteros,
being recruited for the most part iu Bis
cay and Navarre, were looked upon as
retiegades by the Carlists, and hated ac
cordingly. Nor were the Chapelgorras
slow to return the feeling, or to merit
it. Indeed, with their knowledge of
the country and' their animus, they
proved themselves by far the most
formidable enemies that the insurgents
had to encounter. Zumalacarreguy also
had his special battalions. The extraor-
•Phis was the favorite banner of the Carlists
and was occasionally adopted :by their oppo
nents
dinary fiscal system of old Spain ren
dering smuggling the most lucrative
employments in the kingdom, especially
along the French border, had trained
quite an army of desperadoes in habits
of cunning and daring unequalled, ex
cept perhaps among the Red Indians.
As the war had nearly destroyed their
occupation, most of these men took ser
vice with Zumalacarreguy, and he soon
utilized their special qualities. Dividing
them in parties (partidai) of twenty to
fifty each, he blockaded by their means
nearly every one of the Christino garri
sons, as follows : One of these parlidas
was placed within gunshot of each gate,
t with orders to shoot every man and shave
the head of every woman attempting to
enter the interdicted fortress. Thanks to
the bitter party-feeling of the mass of
the people, the partida4 were not very
; frequently required to carry out these
orders. But when circumstances de
:minded such severity, they shot or
shaved, as the case might be, without
compunction. As to the garrison, the
smugglers were mostly dead shots, and
every one that showed upon the ram
parts was pretty cute to be turned into
a target. Nor were these pests to be
driven off, except by a sally in force;
and then they retired lighting, to re
smile their posts the moment the pur
-1
suit relaxed. In this way Zumnlacarre
-1 guy had reduced Painpeluna itself to
the greatest straits by the time Val
dez laid down his command to become
War Minister at Madrid.
The beleaguered city received the
I rompt attention of Quesada, the new
chief. Ile gathered a convoy, selected
his battalions, and marched from Vitto
ria on the ggd of April, Under
his protection journeyed several hun
dred civilians—merchants and others—
having business al Pampeluna ; so that
this particular expedition bore consid
erable resemblance to the Mecca pil
grimage in the days of the \Vahabees.
Among the other noti•combatants, on
his way to wed an heiress of Pampelu
na, went the young Count O'Donnel,
the gallant scion of a gallant house,
which was almost annihilated in this
fearful contest. Qucsada made his first
notrell without event. Ile halted that
night at the entrance of the llorunda, a
very good European edition of the Khy
ber Pass. I lere his scouts warned him
that Zumalacarreguy lay ill force some
dislanee up the defile. Quesada at once
took pen, and indite,' a very Spanish
letter. '• You cannot withstand tile,''
wrote Le; the " thing is absurd to think
of. Lay downlyour arms then, and dis
band, while the night gives you the op
ity." This letter he addressed to
the " Chief of the Brigands," and des
patched with a flag of truce. "There
are no brigands here," said Zunialacar
reguy, with a grim smile, and the let
ter was returned unopened. Both ar
mies rose betimes; the Carlists main
tained their position, and Quesada re
sumed his course. A short live miles
brought him in sight of the foe. They
were posted near Alsassua, in an angle
111 the gorge. But ill spite a his vaunt
ing, the Christinochiefshrank from tile
assault, and took up a defensive post—
alma t the worst thing he could have
short of absolutely turning his
back. this tacit confession of inferior
ity Inv! its full effect upon his followers,
and Zumalacarreguy gave them little
time to recover their spirits. lie at
tacked fiercely in front, mid it
after I turalde came down on their
flank. 'This was more than the Chris
tinos could stand,so they turned and ran,
Quesada among the first. Now, Hight
through a defile is a tearful thing at the
best of times ; but doubly so when a
swarm of ferocious mountaineers, who
know every nook and turn, and who
.1111 leap and like goats, are thun
dering in pursuit. But there was one
good soldier among the Christinos—the
young Count O'Donnel. Rallying with
great exertion a. company of the Guards,
he threw them across the pass, and
stemmed the tide of battle until the
majority of the fugitives had escaped.
Then, surrounded on all sides, he laid
down his arms amid the admiration of
the Carlists. Quesada's military chest,
:ill his baggage, and many prisoners
were taken, :Old anal dead buried where
they had fallen, while enough of weap
ons were picked up on the field to arm
a new battallion of Carlists. And in
spite of O'Donnel's defence, the victory
would have been still more complete
had not another powerful Christino di
vision come up directly after.
Rallying the remnant of his host
under this cover, Quesada turned
sharp to the left, climbed the moun
tains into I lutpuscon, and march
ed upon Tolosa. There lie gathered
reinforcements from the neighboring
garrisons, and started once more for
Pampeluna, by way of Lecumberri.
Three miles north of this pass he was
net again by the Carlists, who gave
way before his artillery, after inflicting
a severer loss than they II:01 suffered.
By this roundabout way Quesada reach
ed Panipeluna without further opposi
tion, but, like a true coward, marking
every step of his track in blood and fire.
\Visiting much to save O'Donnel,
Zumalacarreguy wrote to the Christinos
proff•ring an exchange of prisoners.
Quesada replied by shooting the few
Carlists ill his hands. These were but
five in all, one being the alcalde of a
neighbouring hamlet. In return the
stern ('artist shot O'Donnel and the
'three other officers for the alcalde, and
twenty-four volunteers. 0' Donne' oiler
ed a large ransom for his life, but find
ing that inefffctual, he died as he had
fought, like a hero.
The news of this success spread like
wild-lire. Animated thereby, the Carl
ists resumed their arms in several other
provinces; and a number of gallant
spirits, some of them English, but most
of them French Legitimists, made their
way through the cordon, and threw
themselves heart and soul into the des
perate strife, generally to perish therein.
As for Zumalacarreguy, the open coun
try was now in his hands. :Nothing re
mained to the Liberals except the fort
resses. Nor did they dare to move, ex
cept in formidable masses and covered
by a powerful artillery.
Quesada found it as difficult to get out
of Pam peluna as to get into it Muster
ing s,oun men, lie made a dash up the
Bastan, gained the pass of Lecumberri
without opposition, entered puscoa,
and endeavoured to reach Vittoria by
the great northern road. But Zavalla
and the mountaineers of Biscay, fresh
from a recent victory, flung themselves
into a strong position right across his
path and, in spite of himself, he was
compelled to cross the ridge into the
dreaded Borunda, where Zumalacarre
guy lay in wait. Hearing of his chief's
extremity, Lorenzo, who commanded
iu Pampeluna, sallied out with 3,000
men, and encountered the Carlists at
t;oulinas, in the depths of the defile.
They were hourly expecting Q esada in
the other direction, but they snrank not
from the shock. The pass narrows at
Uoulinas to some ten yards, and winds
thus for more than a furlong between
t wo gigan tic roc ks called the :Sisters, that
rise perpendicul irly for hundreds of feet.
Lorenzo drew back from the tight with
the loss of iloo men, as many muskets,
and: great quantities of ammunition,
and returned to his hold. Thither Q.ue
sada followed him a few hours later, the
Carlists having unbarred the pass to his
comparatively fresh troops. Quesada,
it was evident, could not cope with the
mountain chief—so he was recalled, and
Rodil, esteemed the best captain of his
party, appointed in his stead.
Rod il came up from a very successful
campaign in Portugal with a great repu
tation and 10,000 fresh men. A power
ful reinforcement this; but hardly so
many as had been lost by disease, hard
ship, battle, and execution since the
commencement of this inconceivably
destructive war. Pampeluna was his
first object also, and leaving 4,000 of his
men in various posts between Vittoria
and Logrona, he entered the place on
the oth of July with the remainder, and
released Quesada. There he paused
long enough to issue a fer'ocious procla
mation, and then took the field. Rodil
was, in canting phrase, " a tower of
strength" to the Christinos. And, oddly
enough, the Carlists had just obtained a
similar object in the person of Don
Carlos. 'Phis very respectable, but

versing France, and crossing Zumala
carreguy's headquarters, where he arr i
rived on the 14th of July.
The main body of the Carlists were
now massed in the Amescoas. This
is a sort of Spanish Dartmoor. a sin- ,
gular maze of mountain and ravine,
covering an area of five hundred
square miles, between the Borunda, the
Ebro, and the Arga. A few villages,
connected by goat-paths. dot its surface.
and it is tenanted only by herdsmen and
hunters, flocks and wolves. Valueless
in an agricultural point of view, it was
of the highest importance as a military
position, lying as it did in the midst of
the principal fortresses, and command-
ing the two great roads to Pampeluna,
the key 01 the north. Round the Ames
coas, Rodil gathered his troops, 7.000 men 1
under Espartero and Jaureguy, occupied
the northern road ; white the General
issimo himself, with 10,000, held the
highway to the south, In th.s position
the hosts remained for some days. But
Zumalacarreguy felt that delay was his
worst foe, and since Rodil would not I
take the initiative, he assumed it
himself. Early on the :I`-ith, then, a
cloud of skirmishers issued front the
rocks and assailed Rodil's centre. The
latter met them vigorously, and the af
fair grew warmer as the day advanced,
until by noon 7,000 men were engaged
in it on the part of the Christi nos. Zu
malacarreguy gave way before this I
muss, Rodil pursued exulting, and the
light rolled back among the mountains,
until, without knowing exactly how the
thing had happened,the Liberal general
found himself involved in the narrow
gorge that communicates between the
upper Amescoas and the lower, and as
sailed on every side. But Rodil was a ,
different man to Quesada—an able, iron
veteran, who had the full confidence of
his soldiers, and he extricated himself
front the trap, thought not without
great exertion, and touch peril and
heavy loss. While smarting from
this defeat, Rodil heard that Zumala
carreguy's youngest child—not a year
old—was at nurse in the neighbor
hood of l'am peluna ; he seized the baby,
bud, as a military execution was here
out of the question, sent it to the found
ling hospital.
Don Carlos, who:proved no great as
, quisition to the army, now removed to
the seat of government in the Bastan.
Rodil,• hearing of this, determined to
drive the pretender over the frontier or
take him prisoner. With lids view, he
carried the mass of his army into the
Bastan. Zumalacarreguy took advan
tage of his abseiled to despatch a Ilying
column over the Ebro, and then follow-
ed hard on his track. Rodil hunted Don
Carlos out of the Bastan, followed him
to Guipuscoa, chased him back to the
Basta!' again, thence through the Am
escoas, and hither and thither through
Biscay and Amigo'', with the persist
ence of a bloodhound, for more than a
mouth. The Prince during this time
led sonic such life as the younger
z'tuart after Culloden. Ile hail a hun-
dred narrow escapes, and would infalli
bly have been taken but for the devo
tion of Eraso, another Carlisthero, and,
to our thinking, of a mould even supe
rior to Zumalacarreguy. The latter
conscious M . his high qualities, had not
long before proffered him the CUM mand.
But Eraso was wasting in the grasp of
a mortal disease, which carried hint off
a year later, and made that an excuse
for declining the honor. The most ro
bust health, however, could not have
been inure watchful and unwearying lu
charge of the Prince than Eraso, lilld
thanks to him,Rodil was always battled.
This, however, does not appear, to the
eye of cairn reason, to have been the
best thing for the Carlist cause. At
large Don Carlos proved its ruin. But
a prisoner, what could the Liberals
have done with hint? Would he nut
have been the source of contention
among them, the origin of divisions,
the centre of intrigue? And how
greatly these things would have aided
the exertions of the military chiefs need
not be told. Rod it took a fearful re
venge for his disappointment, burning
and destroying wherever he set foot,and
conducting his flying march with too
much skill to give his indefatigable pur
suer Matt chancy. A month without a
victory was a new thing to the Carlists,
and,w Lb Rodi I's ravages unavenged, de
pressed them like a defeat. Zuni alacar
reguy looked eagerly in all directions
for an opportunity of striking such a
stroke as should reserve his men, and
soon found exactly what lie wanted.
Thinking him sufficiently occupied in
another quarter, a convoy was got ready
by the Christinos, and dispatched by the
southern road to Painpeluna, in charge
often. Carotid olet and a sufficient escort.
But, as usual, the Carlist captain had
timely notice of themovement. Carondo
let gained Estella, more than half-way,
and passed two miles beyond without
interruption. There, however, the road
winds through the dense woods and
wild rocks of St. ( laustus, and in those
woods, and behind those rocks, close as
tigers by the jungle-path, lay the Car
lists. Not a banner waved, not a mus
ket gleamed, not a whisper breathed in
their ranks. 'rile Christitm van plunged
heedless into the puss; the main body
followed singing, and the rear-guard,
closing the careless march, disappeared
beneath the boughs. Half the green
arcade was passed. Then a bugle peal
ed up from the mountain fern, right and
left flashed a deafening volley and
fierce through the smoke rushed the
Carlists with the bayonet. Carondolet
escaped, but his column was destroyed
and his convoy captured. Among the
prisoners was the Urandee Via Manuel.
Won by his bearing, Zumalacarreguy
again attempted to arrest the cold-blood
ed slaughter of prisoners. But Rodil
had stringent orders to spare none, and
his iron heart was only too willing to
carry them out. Via Manuel, therefore,
perished, ;like ten thousand others, in
this terrible strife.
Giving up his fruitless chase, Itodil
adopted another plan, and set to work
vigorously fortifying the passes and
building block-houses through the
valleys, with the view of confin
ing the Carlists to the hill-trips,
and thus eventually starving them
into submission. It was a shrewd
device; but Rodil was not permitted to
profit by it. Meanwhile his opponent
was just as busy on his side. Carondo•
let, as we have seen, had escaped from
St. Faustus; but Zumalacar.eguy had
not done with him yet. The Franco•
Spaniard lay with :int( foot and 0110 horse,
in Liana, on the Ebro. There were'
fourteen miles of comparative plain
between this town and the Amescoas,
and the streets were trenched and barri
caded. Carondolet, therefore, thought
himself is full security, and kept cur ,
responding watch. Zumalacarreguy,
however, held a different opinion. Most
of his men were Christinos in dress,
and not to be distinguished from (hem
at a distance. So, on the 4th of Septem
ber, lie moved with four battalions and
his handful of horsemen on the town,
detaining every one he met by the way.
So skilfully did he manage, and so care
lessly did Carondolet watch, that the
surprise was complete. After a faint at
tempt at resistance, the Ch risti nos fled,
most of them to a convent too strong for
a coup do main; and Zumalacarreguy,
having killed 400 of the enemy, and cap
tured 200 horses, besides prisoners and
baggage, retired before the garrison of
Logrono, only three miles off, could
come up in relief.
The able and energetic Rodil had tax
ed Zumalacarreguy's resources to the
utmost, and repeatedly reduced the Car
list to great straits. He had ravaged to
a vast extent, sparing neither hovel, I
mill, convent, nor church. But, though
the divisions under his own immediate
control had escaped any:serious disaster,
his lieutenants had been ceaselessly
beaten. And, while lie had lost enor
mously—not less than 10,000 men—dur
ing his short tenure of command, lie
had not a single triumph to allege in
extenuation. He was, therefore, recall
ed, and Mina named to replace him
But Mina being in bad health, some
some time had to elapse before he could
appear on the scene, and Rodil deter
mined if possible to redeem his lost
fame in the interval. And well did he
bestir himself. In a week he had
thrown six strong columns round the
Amescoas, numbering 30,000 men in
all. As for Zumalacarreguy, he had
hardly a fifth of that number in hand.
He had fifty blockades to maintain, for
a great part of his strength depended on
the protection which he gave the peas
ants against the marauding garrisons.
And besides, the withering tactics of
Rodil had dispirited his men to such
an extent that, in spite of his victories,
they had fallen away of late by hun
dreds. Dissensions, too, that sure fore
runner of ruin, was beginning to appear
everywhere, except in hisown presence.
But the hero himself was far from des
pairing. And never did he display such
astonishing activity. To-day he was

and narrow gorges—the whole wilder
ness, for such it is, being known as the
A meseoas. Valdez entered the valley,
and the people took to the crags with all
they could carry Mr, for whatever was
left, behind was devoted to destruction.
Zumalacarreguy threw out some of his
battalions to worry the front and flank
of the invading column, while with
the others he closed up the rear.—
The Christinos moved on through the
valley in a single dense mass, burning
the villages and shooting the people and
the cattle indiscriminately as they pass
ed along, but not with impunity. tirey
boulders, gnarled roots, and thickets
covered the declivities, and every one of
them spouted tire and death on the de
stroyers. There were count less impedi
ments in the way, and every tulle took
an hour to cover; so the night fell long
before Valdez had cleared the lower
Amescoa. Ile dared not pass the hours
of darkness in the gorge; so he climbed
the ridge and bivouacked there mis
erably, for the wind was bitterly
cold, and in the confusion of the
ascent the Carlists had captured all
the sumpter mules. By daybreak the
column was again in motion, still burn
ing and destroying, add harassed, if
possible, even worse than yesterday.
Stragglers fell on' at every step from
weariness and wounds, for none dared
plunder, and every one died.
The second night came, and again the
Christi nos climbed the ridge, but not to
rest. The sleet fell ceaselessly on their
unsheltered heads, and a swami of busy
partidas compelled them to stand to
their arms till morning. Then the only
thought in their honishing ranks
was how to escape; Estella was
only live miles Mr; but five such
miles The I font nila, terrible as
it was, was a jest to the path that led
thither. That path, however, must
be attempted; for as to retracing the
march, another day in these uplands l i
would have destroyed the army. From
the heights where they stood a goat
path led down bet wren precipituusclill,
and Zumalacarreguy with WO men lined
a copse at the bottom. Behind the lat
ter tor half a nulls the narrow pass de
scended rapidly between a roaring tor
rent, un the one side and a wall of rock
500 feet high on the other. Valdez
brought his guns to the verge of the cliff,
and under coverof their tirellung his van
to the assault. But the Carlists kept
their ground relentlessly. Again and
again, and still again, the Christinos
rushed down the hill, but always to be
thrust bark by the fire and steel of the
foe. Thus four hours dragged along.—

followed and suspended the fire, and
before it could he renewed 4,000 men

saved by a hair's breadth, for at that

many leading Liberals, hut just in time
to stave oil the vengeance which some
of them had right well deserved.
The Christinos shut themselves up in
the fortresses, which were immediately
blockaded by the (farlists. Zumalacar

taken the necessary precautions. Ac-
)rilingly, while the Chri:itiries were
arching along the Desearga heights in

their column was suddenly assailed by
Eraso, and rolled back on the rear. All
was instantly confusion in their ranks,

It was not to be. The Prince shrank
from the daring march, and commanded
the hero to invest ltd boa. He obeyed ;
but from that instant the shadow of

I. Instead of " trimming up" trees,
according to the old fashion, to make
them long-legged and long-armed, trim
them loon, so as to make them even,
snug and symmetrical.
2. Instead of manuring heavily in a
small circle at the foot of the tree, spread
the manure, if needed at all, broadcast
over the whole surface.
3. Instead of spading a small circle
about the stem, cultivate the whole sur

4. Prefer a well pulverized clean sur

rich soil, to heavy manuring, and a sur
face covered with a hard crust and weeds
or grass.
5. Remember that it is better to set
out ten trees with all the necessary care
to make them live and nourish, than to
set out a hundred trees and have them
all die from carelessness.
G. Remember that tobacco is a poison

NUMBER 21
A Man Hurled In n Well-7111ritenInni
Escape front Death.
•
Mr. John Wentzel, pump-maker, resid
ing at No. 1.148 Perkiomen Avenue, had a
miraculous deliverance front what seemed
certain death, under circumstances of the
most thrilling character, yesterday. Ile
had been employed to repair a pump and
clean a well, in a private alloy extending
front Elm to Buttonwood streets, and be
tween Eighth and Cedar. Having made
the necessary repairs to the pump, he de
scended the well, which Is about forty-two
feet deep, and which contained about two
feet of wa er, to replace the joints, when
he was struck in the head by a stone which
fell from above. Seeing the caving in of
the entire stone wall impending, he started
to ascend the rope, but, before he had gone
far, some twenty feet of the wall fell in,
burying him in the debris.
The death of the unfortunate man was
regarded as a foregone conclusion by the
workmen, who immediately commenced
to remove the immense mass of stone to
recover his body. About three feet of the
upper part of the wall remained, and these
had to be picked apart, the stone falling
upon the rest. As the news of the accident
spread, an immense number of people con
gregated at the scene, and the efforts of a
number of the police force, in charge of
Lieutenant Haggerty and Sergeant Grand,
had to be called into requisition to keep on .
[he crowd.
The accident ocourred shortly before
eleven o'clock. Rebels were furnished,
and by noon some progress had been made.
About this time one of the men asserted
that he heard the voice of the entombed
man below, but this was regarded as
imagination. About 3 o'clock, however,
therecould be no doubt that the man was
still alive, as lie was heard to call repeat
edly for help. At a fete minutes after
four, his head was uncovered, and his
tirst cry was fur water. Some stimulus
Was administered to him, and his body was
at length disengaged. Ile was discovered
to be compressed between the bottom see•
tics of we pump stock and the side of the
well, a couple of . Mot above the water. In
some peculiar manner the stone were arch
ed over his head, and the NM artn was fast
ened under the heavy mass, the other arm
being partially disengaged, and clutching
the rope. \Vhen drawn to the top the iii
jared arm was paralyzed, and it was Mond
that lie had suffered throe severe con melons
upon the head. Ile could stand alone, and
insisted on his ability to walk home, but
Was carried thither on a settee. The injury
to the arm is the only tine that appears
likely to prove serious, no bones having
been broken. Ile described his aw of
sit
uation in the Well, and fully realized the
peril he had been in. Despair seized him
at tirst, but after a long and horrible sus
pense, as the light began to appear above
him, lie discovered the effort, being made
for his deliverance and t o ok courage.
Brent hing was a matter of considerable dif
ficulty for a long period. 'rho escape is
one of the most wonderful narrated in the
category of casualties.--Reading

IVorshipping God Oace a Year
On Sunday last the annual June festival
of the tribes of Indians quartered in Shin
necock Hills, Long Island, was witnessed
by a vast concourse of whites. At It) o'clock
everything for the ceremony was in readi
ness, and King David Pharaoh, Chief of the
tribe, moved forth from his tent with a
large and dirty protocol in his hand. He
was followed by live Inert, who assisted him
to a stand decorated with forest flowers.
Front each of the many cabins came women
and children, all humming, an Indian song
of worship. When they had assembled be
fore the k i ng's throne, they sang in chorus
a hymn which the reporter was unable to
Interpret. This finished, all bent one knee,
and an old white man began to pray. This
man lives with the tribes, and is recognized
as the great medicine num. Ills prayer was
long and loud. After the prayer the lISSOIII
- began to shout another hymn, and
moved MT/Una the throne.
When this had been concluded, King
David, with his protocol, arose and made
divers motions in the air. Ile then began
to speak, and, becoming excited, the per
spiration rolled down his cheeks. Ile
talked about the (treat Spirit, the happy
hunting grounds, the departed braves, the
prosperity of the tribes, gave some advice
to the whites that he said might save their
scalps, and ended with a blessing upon the
assembled group.
Fires were then lighted. The aborigines
formed in procession and marched around
them, each one throwing in a piece of ever
green. This concluded the exercises. In
the afternoon the Indian sports were great
ly enjoyed by tine children. These Indians
worship but once a year, inn the first Sun
day in June, unless some itinerant preacher
'muss along. Many attempts have been
made to attach them to some church, hint
they: only mock the Christian preachers.
King David Pharaoh is an oddity. Ile is
tall, and stoops, though he is stout and
powerful. Ills eyes are peculiar, one being
a brown and the other a mixed gray, one
bright and the other dull. (hit of the gray
eye he sees imperfectly. Ile waiii stung by
a boo some time ago. The brown eye was
completely closed, and he had to be led
about by a child. Ile us about 9G years of
age. The protocol which he carried has
been handed down for three generations,
and was at one time in the possession a
the Iluron tribe.—N. Y. San.

which seems to have been the man. A

between Kate and the other woman. Kate
entertained an idea that Mrs. Murphy de
sired to cut her out in the affections of the
man. On Saturday evening, about half
past six o'clock, the neighborhood was
startled by the sharp, quick shots of a
revolver. A few minutes after a man was
observed to rush from the house indicated
and dash out of sight. Soon afterwards
Mrs. Murphy appeared streaming with

Terrible Storm to the Smith
A terrible storm began on Saturday at
Galveston, Texas. A strong southeast
wind forced the waters of the Gulf on the
island, and the southern part of the city
was flooded to the depth of several feet.—
A number of buildings were swept away,
but no loss of life is reported. The rain fall
since Saturday has been six inches. Two
miles of the t,alveston, Houston, and Hen
derson Railroad were washed away. Con
siderable damage was done by the storm
at Houston. The steamship Alabama with
a cargo of cattle for New Orleans went
ashore twenty miles west of Gelveston on
Sunday, and is expected to be a total wreck.

A Cyclone In Minot
CHICA(IO, Juno r—A cyclone occurrol
near Mason City, Illinois, last Friday
morning. An Inky-hued cloud, or smoke

the earth's surface on an open prairie six
miles from that place, and from this column
soon shot out throe narrower and spear

cloud above.
This frightful apparition moved slowly
toward Alason City, but finally changed
its course, touch to the roller of the people
of that place. A mile from its track an
odor much like that of burning sulphur
was inhaled by several persons. A gentle
man who stood out a hundred yards front
the cyclone when it passed, says that small
!lashes of electricity wore constantly visi
ble in the storm column passing front the
earth to the clouds above, and that rapid
popping, crackling reports were heard re
minding hint 'flout forcibly of an infantry
regiment in battle, tiring their lIIUSkOta as

The pathway of the cyclone was nearly
three miles in length and from twenty to
eighty feet in width, and lit that pathway
not a spear of grass, not a stalk or corn of
wheat, not a shrub, ton a particle of Vrgt!.
tation was left alive.
For sonic distance the earth was literally
ploughed up to t h e disnuu•e of six inches.
