Wbcre the Kentneky river cuts its
way through tba mountains, Laving
upon either bank bold, rugged cliffs,

he. above the ftreani, there lived in
car! v times a pettier by the name of
Kufus liranson, who, with Lis wire
and little child, a charming young
girl of some eight or nine years of
age, occupied the rude cabin at the '
l.ase of the precipice a little bark.
from the river.
Although rreatlv exposed to dan
rer. the Indians at that time being
very pleantiful throughout the regioa,
lie managed to live quietly for aever
al rears.
The Indians frequently visited the
rude home of the hunter.and being al
wavs welcomed andprovided with such
food as was in the larder, they main
tained a friendly attitutdc. Especial
ly were they fond of the child, Mag

front of the cabin, listening to the
childish prattle f the little one, or
else engaged in making her some
toy or plaything from wiliow twigs
or plant bark.
In this manner several years Lad
Ijeen passed, and Rufus Branson
came to fed as secure as though he
was within the walls of a frontier
fort One evening Branson and his
w ife were seated near the doorway,
when suddenly a shadow fell across
the threshold, and tl; next moment
a tall savage whose reeling step
and bloodsnot eyes told that he was
intoxicated appeared, and 6taggering
to the log steps, threw himself upon
them. Ilia first demand was for fire
water, which was, of course, refused,
on the ground that there was none in
the Louse. The Indian became cross
and uglr, and declared with terrible
oaths that if the liquor was not pro
duced, he would murder the whole
bonschold. Branson was a brave de
termined man, and altbough he dread
d the necessity, yet he 6a w he would
be compelled to take prompt steps to
prevent the Bavago from executing

Waiting until the warrior had
made a demonstration, which he soon
did by attempting to draw his toma
hawk, liranson sprang at him, knock
cd him down with a blow of his fist,
and then quietly disarmed and bound

rnents of furious ravings an! futile
efforts to free himself, the savage
rolled over and sank into a drunken
plccp. He did not wake, until the
next morning, but befire he did so
the settlor had quietly removed his
bands and restored the weapons,
which be laid bv the sleeper's side.
The savajre on awakening rose slow
ly to Lis feet, folt his wrists, as
though the thongs had left a feeling
there, took up his weapons, and with
out speaking a word, left and disap
peared in the timber near by.
"What do you think of that?"
asked bis wife, turning to Ler Lus
tiand with a frightened look.
'Pshaw! Don't troubla your Lead
about that drunken brute !" answered
the settler, lightly; but as he tared
away and stepped into the yard he
muttered
Like it? Weil, aot much. The
fellow must be watched. I was in
Lope that be would not have remem
bered, but that lump where my fist
landed was enough, if nothing else,
to recall the circumstance." j
The 6ummer passed, and they saw
their drunken guest no more. He
failed to make his appearance. But
as the leaves began to fall, the settler
one day, while returning from bant
ing on the bills, and passing through
a dense piece of timber not far from
the bouse, caught sight of a figure
lurking in the bushes, bnt quickly
disappeared when he advanced to
where it w as. The figure was that
of an Indian warrior, and BransoB
would have sworn that it wan the
Indian warrior whom he had knock
ed down and bound the previous
spring. The news was not in any
way comforting, and hence he did
not tell Lis wife of Lis discovery.
It would only alarm ber. he
thought, and withont, perhaps, any
good result. He 6imply told her he

and that she and the child must stay

Branson heard his dogs in the tim
ber down by the river, and, knowing
they never opened without good
cause, be caught up bis rifle and
hastened to where they were bark-
ing. They bad struck a fresh bear
trail, and, as be arrived in sight,
they fairly lifted it, going off in
straight line down the river.
The chase led him several miles,
and, when at last Le got a shot that
finished bruin's career, he found that
it was three or four o'clock in the
afternoon. Swinging his meat to

and return and fetch it that mirbt.
Taking a near cut, he reached the
cabin from the western side, where
the timber grew heavy up to within
a few yards of the building, and con
sequently be could not see the clear
ing, or what might be transpiring
there; until he had passed through
the woods.
tww ; i
i dub ii was inai, wuen within a
short distance of his home, he heard
a wild piercing shreak; but he could
only guess that something terrible
must be taking place bevond the
screen of bushes and leaves. Utter
ing a loud t-hout that bis presence
might soener be known, Branson
sprang forward like a wounded buck,
a great fear in his heart, for be had
only too clearly recognized in that
scream the agonized voice of bis wife.
It took but a moment for hira to
clear the intervening timber and un
dergrowth, and as be dashed out in
to the clearing, holding bis rifla ready
for instant use, be comprehended in
one swift glance all that had taken
place, and what was further to iear.
Near the end of the cabin facing
the cliff, of which I have spoken,
stood the mother, Ler face as pallid as
death, Ler arms out-stretched, her
staring eyes fixed upon the peeip
itous heights np which the figure
of the Indian was struggling.
"My child 1 my child !" was all the
woman said, and Branson saw that
the bundle in the Indian's arms was
the form of their only child, Mggie.
Firm of heart, and with nerves as
steady as the rocks around, the fath
er for a moment quailed and cowered
under what Lis quick senses told Lim,
the deadly peril of the little one.
But Le was quick to recover.
The Indian was drawing away;
pUy by step Le was increasing the
disiaace, an J as Le occasionally glanc

Suddenly a sharp report rang out;

To the many instances of private
muniGcence during the past few-
years there promises now to be add
ed another, as it has been announced
by Prof. Davidson to the California
Academy of Sciences that Mr. Jag.
Lick, of San Francisco, has promised
the means to build a telescope of the
largest eite in the world probably
not less than thirty-Eve or thirty-sii
inchea aperture. With this instru
ment will be combined every variety
ot apparatus cotuuensuraie there
with, and of the most perfect descrip
tion. Mr. Lick proposes to endow
his observatory with one million dol
lars. It is said that there are sum
mits of the Sierra Neradas of Cali
fornia that are accessible by railroad
through the whole winter, and that
offer unsurpassed inducements for
the establishment of an astronomical
observatory. Near Lake Tahoe
there are suitable peaks, whose ele
vations exceed 10,000 feet. I'rof.
Davidson, in communicating to the
California Academy the results of
his examination of these regions,
states that the proportion of clear
days and nights is unusually large,
amounting to 270 in a year, and the
clearness and optical steadiness of
the atmosphere is remarkable. 1 here
is an almost perfect immunity from
dust, the mountain flanks being cov
ered with lerdure iu summer, and
snow in winter, lie tstimates the
saving f time and labor to the as
tronomer to be in the ratio of six
months to one or two days. The
miHnessof the weather on the moun
tains of the I'acifie coast is generally
attributed to the great amount of
moisturo that is condensed in pass
ing over them, and in this respect
tbey offer a remarkable contrast to

A r..,: On his farm there was
a mole f
more than ordinary vocal
rw whose voice could be heard a
fiance of four miles in every direc
tion, when he one got warmed up to
his work. The owner computed that
if be could set in motion all the air in
a circle of eigbt'miles in diameter, or
tweaty-five miles in circumference, or
an area of Gfty square miles, or thirty-
two thousand acres, a hundred bor.se
power jackaas could, all olhor things
being equal, rival any other noisa yetpor the purpose. In this, remarkable
discovered. lie established the fact
that the power of an ordinary ass is
about one-twelfth of an indicated
steampower. A steam engine of one
thousand horse-power would there
fore bo equal to the power of 12,000
ordinary asses. t herefore, if one ass
can fill a circle eight miles in di a me
te, 12,000 jackasses or oue 1,000
horse-power jackass would fill a circle
of Dd.OOO miles in diameter,
The inventor thought this all over
carefully, arrived at the deduction
that if he could take nature's vocal
apparatus and apply it to a greater
power, he could produce a larger and
more satisfactory volume or sound.
Filled with this idea, he put the mule
to death, and carefully severed the
head from the bodv. lie thea injec
ted solu'ioiis of chloride of zinc and
arsenic into the veins and arteries of
the head and neck, to prevent decay
of the flesh. Indian rubber was d.s
solved in sulphuric ether and the so
lution forced through the trachea or
wind-pipe and through the larynx or
throat The ether evaporated, leav
ing a film of rubber on the membran
es, and the injection and evaporation
were continued until the rubber film
was found of sufficient thickness.
These organs were then subjected to
a vapor of sulphur, heated to 300 de
grees, by which process the rubber
was vulcanized, its elasticity in
creased, and the membrancsreodered
impervious to steam. These prepar
ations completed, a short piece of
rubber hose was attached to the wind
pipe and connected with a steam boil
er.
It was a moment of acrony to the
inventor, as he placed the ass-head in
the hands of nn assistant, and slowly
nulled the valve open: a moment of
thrilling interest. As the steam was
turned on, it parsed into the wind
pipe, expellingjthe air and producing a
sigh followed by a groan, a snort a
chuckling, then a violent coughing
and sneezinjr. As a full head of
steam was turned on, the most fearful
noise, the most frightful guffaw, the
most vociferous brav that ever assail
ed mortal ears, were produced. The
lips contracted, disclosing a terrible
array of teeth; the features developed
a satanic grin; the jaws raised and fell,
as the steam crowded the passages,
and the ear participated in the gener
al movement, giving to the head of
the ass an animated and excited ap
pearance. The man who was hold
ing the head gazed upon it a moment,
with dilated eyes, eolorbes checks,
knocking knees and protruding
tongue; then suddenly losing all inter
est in the prcformance, he emigrated.
As for the inventor, his suci'esg suc
ceeded his most santruine anticipa
tions. For an instant he contempla
ted the head, his countenance work
ing with every manifestation of in
tense delight, tlin he tco started, pro
bably to learn the greatest distance to
which that voice would penetrate,
leaving it still in operation, with all
steam on. The head had now got
fully warmed up to his work, and
that bray went hunting through the
universe. It was an acoustic earth
quake; a sky-shake; it wrs a donkey

It was the greatest success the world

Of course the papers on our side had

It was at first thought that the
two hoars could not be well spared
from the regular studies, but the re

needed rest to their miuds.
But as only their hands are occu

the time by reading aloud to the chil

Boston public schools, receives a
practical application, for the pupils
would be hardly able to receive their
instructions in cutting were it not for
their knowledge of industrial draw

dictation and geometrical drawing.
The pupils thus aot only receive ben
efit from an industrial standpoint, but
their perception is quickened and an
impetus is given to the other studies
for, as the teachers say, "it is practi

make a pilgrimage to the Holy Sep

penance for sundry unexpiated pec

he did, and, on arriving at bid det-ti-

warmth and moisture of his feet had
worked the soft hair into a eloth-like
