Twe Illegal Dredgers Sunk and The flercest battle in the whole list of Maryland oyster wars has been fought, and the result was a victory for the State's oyster navy, Ever since the present season began the pirates have been “walloping’ the State authorities. They have gone Ko far as to capture a police sloop, cut her rigging, send her crew ashore, and throw her guns overboard, TI hey have depredated on tho best beds and terrorized the whole bay, Bo belligerent did they grow that they attacked a passenger steamer and fired upon her, which is now the sub Jeet of official investigation. About the only thing the oyster navy accomplished was to kill a dredger, wound two ot ers, and get defeated on all occasions, Two weeks ago Governor Jackson said the rebellionshould be put down at all hazard, Cannon were secured from the Federal Government, The largest steamer, the Robert M. McLane, named after the resent Minister to France, was equipped with the big guns, The McLane is about 10) feet long, and is a trim vessel of good speed and substantial design, Ble was placed under the command of Cap- tain Thomas Howard, who is the most deter. mined and most efficient man in the force, For several days he has been roving around the bay. Last night he directed the steamer up Chester River. Within the mouth of the ver are rich oyster beds, which are forbidden { through | taneous by law to all dredgers, The McLane proceeded furelully and uietly. Dredgers were heard at work along the bend of the river between Queenstown | Captain Creek and Carpenter's Island. Howard ordered the cannon loaded an pre- for hostilities, At first he tied high to frighten the dredgers away, There were least forty vessels, and refused then the pirates opened fire with their rifles The McLane guns were directed at the rig- ging of the oyster boats, and great damage was done, The pirates tried to surround the steamer, but the McLane wiggled out of the network of boats Then bolder plans were attempted. either side, the others holding back as the re. Captain Howard saw the design. He did not fire, but ordered full steam on and ahead. Forward the steamer plunged and, almost before the dredgers knew what had happened, the prow had struck the vessel Julia Jones amidships and left a gaping wound. The steamer turned quickly and charged for the other The collision was de cisive and the Mahoney went to the bottom. Cries for help arose from the crews on theses disabled boats and they were promptly res cued, Captain Rios, of the sloop Mahoney, one of the sunken vessels, tells a thrilling story He says that his crew of nine deck when the steamer bore down upon them. He declarss his vessol was not engaged in piracy, but was only seeking a harbor from the ugly night outside in the bay. All his crow were either drowned or crushed to death. Nine | men were drowned from the two boats By this toe the pirates had got enough. The cannonading was something new to them. | They were accustomed to rifle Lalls, but not | to Federal cannon. In the haste to escape several of the boats ran ashore, The McLane before Justice Goldsborough at Centreville and flued $100 and costa. jail.

A Drunken Montana Indian's Triple Murder and Suicide, A torrible tragedy, resulting in the dosth of four persons and the fatal wounding of a fitth, has occurred at Fort Epeck Indian Agency in Montana, For upward of a week “Protty Boy," one of the Yankton Sioux tribe, had been loaded with liquor, Agent Cowan endeavored to discover “Pretty Boy's,” source of supply, but in vain. The Indian not only managed to got all the whisky he wanted, tut had some to spare, and this he distributed among the younger bucks at the agency, This *“Protty Boy” made a murderous at- tack upon his squaw. Seizing a stick of fire wood he dealt the helpless creature n blow on the head which cut a deep gash in the scalp and fractured her skull Not satiafled with this, the bloodthirsty brute, crazed by the lguor he had imbibed, Jumped upon the prostrate body of the squaw, and taking a knife out of his belt made prepara tions to scalp her. By this time a crowd of nearly one hun. dred Indians had gathered around the two, In the crowd were a number of Indian police, who rushed upon “Protty Boy" and dragged him from the body of the squaw, This so enraged “Pretty oy” that, shaking off his captors, he ran to his tepee and secured a Winchester rifle and at once opened fire on eho Jorice, instantly killing two of them and fatally wounding a third. He then proceoded to where his BuUAW Was lying, and placing the muzzle of the rifle tween her lips, fired four shots, literally blowing the woman's head to pieces. This done, the red villian attempted to effect his escape, firing repeatedly at the Indians, who were in pursuit of him.

The book of uth, with its record of her devotion to the God of sree] and the great blessing He bestowed upon her, is a delight ful resting place after the book of Jus Wo with ita record of the many backslings of Israel and consequent oppression by their enemies. The first verse tells us that it was in the days of the judges that the events of this book transpired, and some think as early as the time of Gideon, 16. “And Ruth ssid, entreat me not to leave thee or to return from following after thee." Elimelech signifies “my God is king” and Bethlehem Judah signifies the house of bread and praise:” and it seme vary strange to soo these people of the trues God going ous to the Moabites (for the Monbites ware the encinles of Israel, Deut. xxiii. 4, 4), even though there was a famine in the land The God who fed Israel forty years in the wilder. ness could find some way to provide for His people even in time of famine Elimelech and Nsomi did not go into the land of Moab 1o glority God, nor to seek His honor among that people, nor to seek His wondrous works, Wedo not read of anything they did to honor God among the Moabites those ten yours; and now that Naomi is returning to the land | and people of the only living and true God, instead of encouraging Orpab and Ruth to forsake the land of idols an go with ber, we find her urging them both to remain in Moab, and in the case of Orpah she is successful. But Ruth, for some cause, is determined to forsake Monb and idolatry and cleave to the God and peop e of Israel. Perhaps the life of Naomi was better than her testimony, and Ruth had seen in her that which commended the God of Israel; or it may be that the prophecies of Falasam had come to her sars with power; or the tidings of the death of and mourning for Mows in the land of Moab; but whatever it was, we praise God for the turning from idols to serve the living and true God of this ( renitle woman, The clinging of Ittal, the (Fittite, to David the king, as be fled from Absalom, was some xv, 21; 11 Kings i, 24, be our words te Lord Jesus, and the Lord™ (Acts xi, 24, ! 17. *The Lord to so to me, and more also, | Tak- | Ing the words of these two ve rees together, | they certainly indicate on the part of Huth full identification with Naomi at any Cont and we are reminded of the testimony of Paul at Cosarea, on bis last ourney to Jery- | salem: 'l am rea iy, not to be bound only. | at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus Acts xxi, 15) “I count not my life dear unto myself, so that I | might finish my course with Joy, and | ved of the Both of theses | Lord Jesus Acts xx, 34 | testimonies, the latter one given at Miletus, Paul proved by his afterdife that be meant with his whole beart.
