Mrs. McWilliams and Lightning
"Well, sir,".continued Mr. McWll-
Hams, for this wvs not the beginning
of his talk, the fear of lightning:AS
one of the most distressing infirmities
a human being can . be aillicted with.
IC is - mostly eißififdd to women, but
now and then y6u find it in a little
dog, and sometimes in a man: It is
a particularly distressing infirmity,
for the reason that it tat es the sand
out of a person to, an extent which
no other fi ar Can;
' and it can't be
reasoned with, and . neither can it he
shamed out of a person:. A woman
who would flee a mouse loses her
grip and goes all to pieces in front of
a flash of lightning. Per fright
is something pitiful to See;
Well, I woke up; with - a S;noilier
ed fend unlocated ery•of."Mortimer!
Mortimer !" wailing in my ears, and
.us soon as I could serape my faculties
.together I reached over in the dark,
and then said : , .
"Evangeline, is that you calling ?
-What is the Matter? Where- are
You ?"
[novll-75
•Shut Op in the hont'elbset. You
ought to be 'ashamed to lie there and

"Why, how can one beashamed
when lie is asleep.? It is rinteason

he is asleep, Evangeline "
"You .never try, Mortimer; you
•
know very well you never try."
I caught the sourid of muffled sobs.
That sound smote dead the_sharp
speech that watt On my lips, and'
changed it to ;

I got the book, at.a cost of a vase

the madame shut herself up with her

When 1, mounted on the chair, had
been clanging a-dreadfui. bell a mat
ter of seven or eight minutes, our skit
ters were suddenly torn open - from
without, and a brilliant : bull's-eye
lantern thrust in at the window, fol
lowed by a hoarse inquiry.:- -
"What in the nation is the matter
in here ?" • •
The window was all of men's
heads, and the beads were. full of
eyes that stared wildly :at my night
dress and my warlike accoutrements;
I skipped down pow the chair in
confusion, and said : "
"There . is nothing the matter,
friends, only a little discomfort on
account of the thunder-storm.",
"Thunder-storm ? lightning? Why.
Mr. McWilliams, have you lost.your
mind ? It is a beautiful star-light
night, there has been no storm."
I looked out, and I was so aston
ished I could hardly speak for ".a
while. Then I said:
" I do not understand' this. We
distineAlk - saw the glow of the flashes
through.-the curtains and shutters,
.and heard the thunder."
'One after another these people lay
down on the ground to laugh, and
two of them died. One of the sur,
vivers remarked :
'"Pitty you didn't think to open

lie was in the habit of prowling
around the office of the linsu 4 rance
company of which he
.was r 4 Dire?tor.
One morning as he was finis inlcsti ,
gating,;' he happened - to come across
the dinner-pail of the office' boy. Ills
curiosity led. him to take ,otfl the
cover. A slice of home-Made-bread,
two doughnuts and a - piece .of apple
pie tempted the millionaire's appetite.
Ile became a boy again, ar.d the din
ner-pail seemed the pite he had car
ried sixty years ago.
.14st - then ithe office-boy came in
and surprised the eld , man eating the
pie—lie had. finished the bread lied
doughnuts.
"That's my dinner ynu're eating
exclaimed the boy. indignantly.".
"Yes, sonny, I suapept it may be ;.
but it's a first-rate, one, for all that.
I've not :eaten

sixty years."
"There,"'be added, as he finished
the pie, "take that 'and go out and
buy yourself a dinner, but you won't
get'as:good -a one," and' he banded
the boy a $5,bM. .
For days after the old man kept
referring to the first-class dinner he
bad•caten from the boy's pail.
Zabdiel Adams, a Congregational
clergyman, of Massachusetts, in the
last century, was noted tor sharp wit
and pithy sayings. Ile was apt .to
qay pungent things in the pulpit, if
matters went badly in the parish,
and adjoining parishts hall learned
to fear his sharp tongue.
A. neighboring clergyman noted
for his mildness and timidity, once
proposed an 'exchange of pulpits.
Mr. Adarni accepted the proposal ea.
gerly, for he was itching to tell the
people some plain truths about their
niigardliness 'in neglecting their
meeting-house.. There were broken
panes in the. pylpito 'window, a rag
ged cushion onl the deals, and a gener
al forlornness about the sanctuary.,
'Mr. Adams bad prepared a sting
ing rebuke for parsimony ,} whin his
timid neighbor, suspecting some
such purpose, 'rode over on Sunday
and expected a promise thaelte
would say nothing unkindly to
. .he
people. Mr. Adams reluctantly 'con
sented, but a new idea occurred to
him. ' Taking a little bag into the
pulpit, he waited till• the congrega
tion gathe:ed. Then, looking around,
as if teeling . a draught, he examined
the open panes, and opening his bag,
took ow, a bundle of rags, stuffed
them -slowly into the openings, and
surveyed his work with great aatis
`faction. Theri , wu a sensation be

soul by giving it to, the following et- ,

'So man ever; had kinder cornpli

Garfield has tiad from !Thomas A.
Hendricks. Hendricks has gone out
of way to testify :to the excel
lence of Garfield's private character
and his ability as a publicman. Since;
however, what he has said `bas begun
to be used .as Democratic testimony
in Garfield's favor in this canvass,
th;3 Democratic party seems to have
got after Hendricks, and he is now
going about . villifying Garfield like a
slanderer. General Harrison of In

and interpreted the public sentiment
correctly when , he said in a late

it to be 'injured in the least by a com

'lndian Foot Ball' and Wresting.
• The Washoe Indians bave.a pecu
liar game of foot-bali which they play
very much after the mtnbet• of the En
glish. game.. Whether it - originated
with them or was learned &alai 'the
whites, and how long it 14as been Prac
ticed by them, are questions for Wore
investigation. The Indians may be
seen . enaaged in thiesport on antfine
day at/this season. The level ground
on the . southern side of the river, .
above the dam and below the buff, is
theirfavorite pleasure ground. The
spectator frOm la distance, who does
not know what is going forivard, id
struck by the novelty. of the 'spec
tacle when one of the games- is in
progress. Looking on from the op
posite side of the river he will see a
number Of Indians at times run as if
a foot race were going on, and then
pair. off, stand still and appear to be
embracing. each other. Other Indians
may be seen. liquatted on.the ground - .
looking on, and seated higher upon
t.hebluff, and , watching Ole proceed
ings, 'are „always a number of squaws,
conspicuous-by the 'bright colors of
their dress. • The presence_ of the lat
ter no doubt' serves to tire the hearts
of the struggling braves and: induce
them to put .forth their best efforts to.
win .the Match. The ball used Ily the
Italians is tn_ade of. pieces of oveol
en stockings ! or any similantaub
stance, incased in leather. It is about
the size of. tb4/ ordinary cricket ball.
•A level . ' piece of clear ground is
selected, and two goals fixed, distant,
from each other 410itt one'hundred
yards'. - ' ~" !.- '. 1.
The gOal , is mile btt setting . two
saplings upright in te ground, - tied
about five \ feet apart. ' The garee is
played by six Indians at a time, three
to a side. The game consists in each
side tiying to kick the ball through
• the goal'of the other. This must be
'done from, the space - between the
'goal ; *if "Ole
.ball is kicked through
from the rear it does , not count.
When the ball been forced through
one or the other . of . the goals the
game 45 won. 'lt must be kicked .
through, not tbrown,3„ ' The Indian's

with the ball of the i . foot. '
As the
ground is always mote or lees stony,,
and the tall not' soft, it may be infer:'
red that the Indians' . feet are tough.
11l being ready, the' players form a
ring tnuiw - y between the two` goals,.
One side is ' Called the Reno, the
other - the Cali& rnia. .Tbe two sides
are thus -named by the Indians them
selves.. The game opens by one.of

into the air , so that it will fall in the

.! THE INDIANS AS' WUESTLERS.
The •Indians display wonderful
skill as wrestlers. Their wreat3ing is
after the Lancashire fashion; any
bold is allowable. It ,is collar-and
elbow, side.hold, Grlea-R'0132211 and
all other styles combined.' .Thus
Kruggling the contest is..exciting...
The physical development of these
Indians is superb. Their muscles in
action may be seen to glide beneath
the skin like serpents. They resem
ble snakes themselves as they twine
and twist about each other in every
conceivable fashion. Wildly , pictur
esque they look, too, with their long
black hair Hying in the wind. What
strength and agility they exhibit!
One will lift his advereary_ by, the
belt clear of the groimd.and throw
him. Down they go together. In
the dirt the struggle continues: There
they interlock and wind about,each
other, twisting ind 'turning , catching
a fresh bold every moment, now one,
now the other uppermost, until their
identity 'gloat in the cloud of dint
which surrounds them. 'This. tone
