A Lunatic After Mr. Itlaine.
Washington, July 5. Daniel McNa
niara, supposed to be insane, appeared
at police headquarters to-day, and said
he was from King William county,
Ya., but hud been living in Phila
delphia. He announced that he had
been inpired by Clod to come here
and kill Secretary Blaine. He asked
where the secretary lived, and exhibited
a revolver, He is not clear whether
his mission is to assassinate Secretary
Ulaino or General Arthur, ne has been
sent to the insane asylum. He stated
when examined that he had been in
spired by the spirit to kill General
Grant during the latter's administra
tion, but was defeated in that object,
and eaid that if an opportunity were
given him he would explain the manner
in which Guitoau was prompted to as
sail the President.
Philadelphia, July 5. Daniel Mc
Namara, who was arrested to-day in
Washington, lives in Philadelphia at
Sixth and Catharine streets. He came
from Ireland when he wa3 fourteeen
years old. He served through the re
bellion and afterward for live years
served in the regular army. On the
twenty-second of last October he was
sent to the Philadelphia almshouse,
but left there on the follow
ing day. Last January he
was arrested for throwing a brick
through a back window, his purpose
being to secure a commitment to jail.
The authorities disappointed him by
sending him to the insane asylum,
where he remained for several months.
Recently he has been employed at the
Baldwin locomotive works, but lost his
place a week ago. Then he conceived
the idea of going to Washington to
get a pension, and spoke to his
relatives of-visiting Secretary Blaine to
secure that gentleman's influence in his
behalf. He left Philadelphia on Mon
day afternoon to go to the capital, and
before going spoke in strong terms in
denunciation of Guiteau's crime. Mc
Naniara always had extravagant ideas of
his own importance, and when dis
cussing politics always became greatly
excited.
A Village of Terrors,
A Detroiter who had business in a
village in Washtenaw county drove out
there in a buggy, and of course went to
the inn for his dinner. The landlord
made no inquiries until after the meal
was eaten and paid for and he then
found opportunity to inquire :
"Were you going out to 'Squire
Brown's place ?"
"No."
" I didn't know but you were a light

that the 'Squire had threatened to
shoot the next one on sight. We don't

" No."

"No."

"No."

GRACE'S DESK.
Margaret looked up from her sewing
machine for a minute to glance across
the room at the quiet little figure sit
ting at the window a round, graceful
little figure, whose attitude of thought
ful gravity was full of suggestion.
And then Margaret, always more or
less crusty, but kind-hearted, gave an
impatient sigh and increased the speed
of her machine by a savago motion of
her slippered feet, and compressed her
lips and puckered her fcrehead all up
in a perfect nest of wrinkles ; while
Grace, unconscious of it, sat looking
out of the window at the gloomy pros
pect half-melted, dirty, slushy-brown
snow that was rapidly growing slushier
and more melted under the drizzling
rain that was falling ; and, of course.
thinking about Laurie Marcellus.
lor several months Grace had not
thought of much else but him, and yet
there had not been an hoar or a mo
ment of that time that she had not tried
not to think of him and grieve for him.
It had been very similar to the same
old story. Laurie Marcellus, handsome,
elegant, aristocratic, fairly well-to-do in
the world's estimation of riches, had
been Grace Warrener's most devoted for
several months, until by one of those
venomous waves of fortune's wand social
position and wealth had suddenly van
ished, and the Warrener girls found
themselves obliged to take in dress
making for a living.
Friends who had always been friends,
who redeemed the dear name, who knew
them for what they were worth, did not
desert them ; but first and foremost in
the ranks of those who so conveniently
preferred to dispense with the society
of the two dressmakers who lived in
Appledore row was Mr. Laurie Marcel
lus. He had dropped out of Grace's life as
a brilliant comet disappears from the
6ky. He had called one evening, the
same as ever, with thasweet, caressing
tenderness in his voice the glad, eager
light in his handsome eyes that made
the girl's heart spring within her; and
she had never seen him since nor
heard from him.
That very next day the crash came,
through which the great spice house of
Warrener & Gray suspended; and a
month later Caleb Warrener died with
apoplexy, and as soon as decency per
mitted the splendid mansion and furni
ture, the horses and carriages, the sil
ver and jewels, all were sold under the
red flag.
Margaret came grandly to the fore in
those dark days, when hex keenest grief
was to witness little Grace's dismay and
astonishment and suffering at Laurie
Marcellus defection; and yet her words
were usually more bitter and sarcastio
than gentle it was Margaret Warren
er 8 way to use heroic treatment.
" He's not worth the everlasting fuss
you make about him, Grace. I'm
ashamed of you downright ashamed;
and he not your betrothed, either !
That was true, so far as formal words
went. Laurie Marcellus had never
asked Grace Warrener to be his wife;
he had never in so many words told her
he loved her; but he had known just as
well as he had known ho was alive how
the girl's heart was all his own how
she loved him dearly and truly, for all
her sweet reserve.
Grace smiled faintly when Margaret
spoke of the "fuss" she made about
him. She knew well enongh that the
"fuss was only her grave, sad face,
her quiet ways, her listless manner,
that she tried desperately hard to con
quer, and in all the months that had
passed had not suoceeded, and seemed
no nearer succeeding than in the be
ginning so nearly hopeless a task is it
for a woman to coiquer thoughts and
heartsick longings for the man she
loves. Tride and shame may do valiant
battle for tho victory, but pride and
shame are baby foes in comparison with
the giant they oppose woman's strong,
enduring love for her chosen beloved.
Aud so tho dreary time went on for
Grace, aud by steady, persistent effort
she disallowed herself to be dull or
complaining, or a kill-joy. She reso
lutely determined to at least be cheer
ful and patient outwardly, no matter
what the inward commotion. And to
day this cheerless January day she
had only given a momentary rein to her
thought, enough to make her lay down
her sewing and lean her head against
the window, and wish she might never
have known the sweetness of Laurie
Marcellus" love.
Until tho unusual whirring of the
sowini? machine wheel mule her aware
that Margaret had ooserved her aud was
displeased. So, with a little, desperate
effort, she forced herself back to the
basting of tlm satin fold in her work.
"I was thinking ab'tfit that auction
iMrcl
lit a
desk, you sai l, and Martin Kirh
there's a very gewd one to be vol.1 t'
icrn.
I'll go mid bid on it for von, I think, if
1 ever under the sun got those bunds
stitched ou 1 It seems to me that thoso
Rich girls nro not happy .unless their
dresses aro absolutely loaded with trim
ming." Grace looked rip, with such sweot,
sweet eyes- it was no wonder handsome
Marcellus had liked to look into tho
pure brown wells of limpid light.
"You nro so good, Margaret! I do
want a desk, if you are sure you can
afford it."
"You needn't say if I can afford it,
Grace. You have as much right to the
money as I have. I'm going to buy
myself a cashmero polonaise you cuu
have the desk if it is reasonablo in
price."
So that was how MissW'arrener came
to bo at the auction sale at tho big
house on the hill that evening Demp
sey's grand mansion, whoso prince had
taken a whim to sell out aud spend a
few years abroad.
And the next day the desk was deliv
ered at the cottage in Appledore row,
and Grace put it in her room a small,
beautiful article, standing nicely in a
cozy corner, and just tho very thing for
Grace's few books and her stationery.
It was very handsome, and Grace
cried a little over it, because it brought
back so many thoughts of the dear old
days when she was surrounded by just
such elegancies of furniture, and when
everything seemed, somehow, to lead
to that 6ne pivotal thought when Lau
rie Marcellus had been her friend.
So the months went on, aud tho two
sisters led their busy life, and Grace was'
growing sweeter and paler, and more
patiently thoughtful, with every day
that widened the distance between her
and her memories.
New friends gathered around them
true friends and there was more than
one opportunity for Grace to have
accepted a lover, ouly she had no love,
to give, no heart to win.
Her happiest and her saddest hours
were spent at her desk, or it seemed to
her that it was like a link to the past ;
and one windy, wildly-stormy night,
five years after she liad taken up her
cross, for Laurie Marcellus' sake, she
was sitting , before her desk making
out a score of bills to the " Misses
Warrener, artist dressmakers," and going
bactt to one other stormy, snowy night,
when she had said the good-night that
mean good-bye, although she had not
known it.
She was leaning' her head on her
hands, her elbow resting on the slant of
her desk, when, with a little crushing
noise, it broke, revealing a shallow
aperture, of whose existence she had not
the slightest knowledge.
She looked in, and all the blood in
her body seemed to rush madly to her
brain ; for there, lying in the little
secret place, fresh and clean, as though
laid there an hour before, was a letter,
stamped for mailing, and directed
plainly to herself "Grace Warrener,
The Willows," and in Laurie Mar
cellus' handwriting.
She dared not touch it for a minute.
She feared she was in the midst of some
improbable dream ; she wondered if it
were possible she had gone suddenly
daft.
Wns it a letter to her from him?
But how how could it have got there,
when the desk had been locked, in her
room, for years?
Then she touched it, half expecting
to 6ee it vanish before her eyes. But
it did not vanish; it was all true
a letter, for her, from him, and it had
laid there all these years, so near, so
far I
She sank trembling on the chair and
opened it Laurie Marcellus' proposal
of marriage; his avowal of love; his
manly sympaihy and pitiful tenderness
because of her father's financial trou
ble ; his caressing pleading to be al
lowed to comfort and protect her as his
wife should be comforted and protected
and cherished. He begged for an inv
mediate answer, and he would come to
her at once if she loved him and did
not say him nay. But if if there was
no such blessed answer for him if he
had been presumptuously mistaken
her greatest kindness would be not to
answer him at all.
And she had just received it, after
five years.
Poor little Grace ! White and trem
bling, amazed and bewildered, she sat
there long- after Margaret had gone to
her own room," so unconscious of the
drama enacting so near her.
ne had loved her he had loved her
after all ; and Grace's heart thrilled at
that thought, slender though tho con
solation was.
But of what avail was it now ? Where
was he 1 What might have happened
in that long, fateful interim ?
She thought of it all, keeping virgil
with her thoughts that night. How the
letter had ever come in that desk she
had bought at Demp3ey's, she dated not
imagine. Grace only realized that some
tremendous fate had discovered it to
her.
She kept her strange, sweet, pitiful
secret in her own heart for days, won
dering with every hour if she could dare
take a step in the matter.
And then, one day, the auctioneer
who had sold the desk to Margaret War
rener went to her aud told her that a
gentleman who had just returned fiom
Europe desired to regaya possession of
the desk sold at Mr. Dempsey's auction,
as it had been a gift to Mr. Dempsey
from himself, on the eve of his depart
ure abroad, live years before. And
Grace listened with diluting eyes and
throbbinar heart, whose be.it almost
choked her utterance.
"Tell the gentleman to call here and
ho may have his property."
And that evening, when she went to
the door at the sound of the bell, and
opened it, with her face slightly paler
than usual, Laurie Marcellus stood
there.
" I expected you come in," she said,
gently, whilo mnazed and bewildered he
could only bow aud obey.
Then she explained ; then ho reme B

Texas Pasture Fields.
A correspondent in tho Baltimore
American, who is visiting the immenso
cattle pastures, describes a visit to the
one of these, the Fulton and Coleman
Companies' grazing lands in Texas.
"We left lulton after an early break
fast, on the moraing of tho 31st of May,
and were soon out on tho open prairie,
approaching the lands of the Peninsula
Pasture Company, which are but a short
distance from Bockport. There were
but six in our party, four of whom were
ladies, with Col. Georcro W. Fulton as
pilot. Eight miles from Jiockport we
passed through tho gates of tho Big
Pasture of the Coleman-Fulton Pasture
Company, and entered on its broad
domain ot 108,000 acros, or 206 square
miles, of what is retarded as tho very
best pasture land in Texas. WTe were
to st.m at the ranch, tho herdsmen's
headquarters, ten miles from the gate,
for dinner, and to rest horsos, aud after
wards to continue our journev to Mr.
Coleman's mansion, eleven miles fur
ther on making twenty-one miles from
tno gate to tlio bouse.
" W hen fairly on our lournev inside of
the Big Pasture, on casting the eye
around, the horizon was seen to be as
sharply defined iu every direction as it
is at sea. Thero were a few small motts
of live-oak treos, and somo scattered
cattle browsing on the plain, but noth
ing else, not even fences, obstructed the
view. By the nnpracticed eye there
was really no road to be seen, but dur
ing this and subsequent drives both
Colonel Fulton and Mr. Coleman
seemed to know every cowpath. These
cowpaths are made by the cattle going
to tne lakes lor water, as on such occa
sions they always walk in single file.
and pursue the same course day after
day. This was the case before the new
pasture system was adopted, whon an
instinct seemed to guide the cattle in
the pursuit of water. Then there were
no artificial lakes, with the winter rains
stored in them for the use of the cattle,
as is now the case, and it often hap
pened that the distance between water
and the grazing grounds was twenty
miles or more. In a dry season thou
sands of them would die from burning
thirst, and leave their bones along the
cow-tracks, or, on reaching the water,
drink to such excess that death was
sure to follow. Now there are five or
six of these lakes on this great pasture,
one of them three miles in length and
from fifty to five hundred yards in width,
wnile tne Cliiltopin river forma its
northern boundary.
"The Coleman-Fulton Pasture Com
pany's lands are by careful estimate
capable of sustaining at all seasons of
the year about 35,000 head of cattle
aud htrsee, though at the present time
there is not more than half this number
there. Duriog the past year the stock
of cattle was reduced to about one-half
tne mu complement, ana tne grass
allowed to renew itself by seeding. The
pastures are consequently now covered
witn a heavy coat of niesquite grass
and the company are filling up the
pastures with cattle purchased from
Texas and largely from Mexico. During
our sojourn a lot of 2,000 head arrived
from Mexico, and a despatch announced
that 4,000 head more, purehasod by
their agents at (5, 8'J and Sl"2 per he:id,

their delivery in good order in the pas

cows will be driven to the Barada pas.

graded stock, aud the male yearlings
driven to the Big Pasture of 105,000
acres, which is devoted to beeves and
stock for the market. The sorting and
separating of the cattle require experi
ence and good judgment, and a vast
force of men and horses. The prospects
of the company were never so good as
at present, they having just declared a
cash dividend of 4 per cent, for the past
six months, while they are very confi
dent of increasing it to 12 per cent, per
annum.
1 Viper Men aud Women."
At Guadalajara there exists an indi
vidual having a scaly skin exactly like
that of a viper, even to the green color.
He has, , besides, the viper habit of
changing or shedding his skin every
year. Tho skin comes off' in a single
piece, and not, as might be supposed,
in parts. On the man's head there is
not a single hair. A sister of this man,
who died a short time ago, manifested
the same phenomenon, and toward the
close of her life began slowly to grow
blind, owing to the viper's skin en
croaching on the eyes to such an extent
that she could only see through a narrow
aperture at each eye. Tho same thing
is now happening to the brother. He
can scarcely see any object, and the
head presents the repulsive aspect of a
viper. In Cuantla these unhappy beings
have been known as the " viper men
aud women," and the phenomenon is at
tributed to the fact that their mother
ate an excess of vipei'a meat to cure a
disease of the blood. In Cuba it is a
common practice for people to eat
vijHtr's flesh as ia remedy for blocd dis
eases. Siuitti Fe Naip At'.i icttu.

It is as yet apointof dispute whether

approving of light woolens. For women.
nothing is sweeter in summer than a

ronise linens more for adults ; for
children, cottons for workingmon,

ho also the headgear.
Infants, if at all d Jieate. should not
bo allowed to go with bare feet ; it often
produces diarrhea, and they shorn!
alwayR wear a flannel band round the
stomach. Another important matter is
the changing of night and day linen
among tho poorer classes. It is terrible
to think that a workingmnn should lio
down in the shirt in which he has per
spired all day at his hot work. Lot men
accustom themselves to good washeB
every evening before they sit down to
their meals, and to chancres at niffht.
that they may take np a dry shirt when
going to their hard day's work.
Irequent changos of linen is abso
lutely necessary -anyhow, a night and
day change. This change alone would
help to Btay mortality among children,
if accompanied with other healthy
measures, such as sponging the body
with a little salt and water. Where
tenements are very close wet shoots
placed against walls will aid to revivify
the air and absorb bad vapor in rooms.
All children s hair should be cut short;
boys' hair may be cropped, and girls'
hair so arranged by nets or plaits that
air passes freely round the neck.
Light head coverings are essential m
summer, lor tho head must be kept
cool. The most serviceable dress is
that which allows air to pass freely
around your limbs and Btops neither the
evaporation of the body nor the circula
tion of the refreshing atmosphere In
summer you must breathe freely and
lightly; you cannot do bo with your
stomach full of undigested food, your
blood lull or overheated alcohol, your
lungs full of vitiated air, your smell
disgusted with nauseous scents, your
system unable to carry out the natural
process of digestion. All the Banitary
arrangements in the world will do no
good if we eat and drink in such a
fashion that we are constantly putting
on fuel where it is not needed, and stuff
ing up our bodily draught, as we would
that of a heating appliance. Our ig
norance and our bad habits spoil the
summer, thai delightful season of the
year nothing else.
Activity, rest and recreation are
weighty matters in influencing our
health in summer. WTe are not bo well
inclined for activity, and yet nothing
will bo much assist us as a healthy em
ployment of our energies, without over
exertion.' Pity those who must exert
themselves to the utmost iu this horrid
weather, and feel gratified if you need
only moderately use your strength.
Activity keeps tho system going, the
blood in healthy circulation, the digest
ive process fiee from costiveness, the
skin open for evaporation, and prevents
all clogging of the machine. If not
forced to work in some way or other
be active anyhow; occupy your mind
and exercise your limbs. Stagnation
will bring about lethargy and allow the
atmosphere a greater influence upon
you.
Un tne other hand, lull rest is as
necessary. The exhausted frame wants
more recuperation, the brain less strain,
the system more gentle treatment.
Things look often darker in hot
weather; heat weighs upon the upper
portion of the head, communicating it
self to the perceptive powers, and in
fluences the senses. We see pictures
before us, and fancy we have not the
power to combat difficulties. It is said
that more suicides are committed in
hot than cold weather. A healthy
sleep in this hot season is worth a
great deal to us; try to court it, and
never play with your life and health by
wylfnlly neglecting it.
And what shall we say ot that precious,
and, as yet, so little understood phase
of life, our recreation 1 If there is one
thing mere than another to be encou
raged in summer, it is reasonable recre
ation ; that exercise between body and
mind which brings about harmony
between both ; that periodical abstain
ing from incessant labor which renders
us fresher for it ; that intercourse with
beautiful Mother Ef rth. which leads us
to value natural aspirations.
Never pass a day in summsr without
somo calm half-hour for quiet and enjoy
ment ; life has only so many years, and
during their space we should live, not
vegetate. The time will come when
sanitary measures and means for enjoy
ing a higher phase of life will be thought
of more than laying up things that rust.
We cannot here enter upon the mean
ing of recreation in a wider sense ; but
it is not recreation to rush out of town
and stop at some place to drink beer
and smoke all the time ; it is not recre
ation to push on in crowds for excite
ment out of doors ; it is not recreation
to overheat yourself and feel more
fatigued the day after than the day
before. For recreation you want leisure,
moderate movement, happy thoughts,
kindly company, some pleasant talk,
cheerful music, refreshing food and
drink, and, above all, a thankful heart
that you are able to enjoy these ; then
no one could say that such recreation
would be against the highest religious
rules of living. Food, drink, dwelling,
clothing, activity, rest and recreation,
all are modified by the social circum

'Don't you think we ought to separate
our husbands?" said a lady to her lriecd.
"Do you not see how excited they have
become.' 1 hey are beginning to call
each other 'ox and 'ass and all soiis uf
dis-agreoable things." "Oh? no,'' was
the ealru reply. "Le1; them co on

A IVspcrado's Tiij!e "lunl-vr.
A correspondent of Urn Denver (Vol.)
:,TLli,:n tells hnw " Billy tho Kid," a
notorious desperado, killed tlooo cow
boys in Lincoln county, New T,i v -.
The esenped desperado, says tlio corre
spondent, rodo up to a "cow camp f
John ChisumV, tho well-known cn(!l'
man, in the Panhandle, in which thero
were four cowboys. Three of these were,
seated around a fire looking supper,
whilo the fourth, Bennett Howell, "wa
hobbling liis home, about twenty yards
from tho lire. Hiding np to the' latter, .
"Kid" inquired: "Are you working for
old John Chisnm?"
" Yes," was the reply.
Then here's your pay," a bullet from
tho "Kid's" pistol piercing his brain at
the same time. Seeing the murder of
their comrade the other cowboys sprang
to their foct, but before they could iraw
their six-shooters', that of the killer had
exploded twice again, aud two tuoio of
the cowboys fell. Pulling down on tho
T - . I , . .
ono remaining, mo murderer shouted:
"Hold up!" Tho command was promptly
obeyed. "Now," continued Billv, I
want you to take a message to ohf John
Chisum for me. Tell him that during
the war ho promised to pay me five dol
lars a day for fighting for him. I fought
for him and never got a cent. Now I in
tend to kill his men wherever I meet
them, giving him credit for five dollars
every time I drop ono, until the debt is
squared, or, if I happen to meet him be
fore, I'll kill him and call the whole ac
count settled. , All I'm living for now is
to get oven with my enemies, and I ex
pect to bo in this country until I do
that."
The ' Kid " then rode away toward
tho Pecos, and the cowboy, after seeing
that Lis friends were dead, .made all
haste to the nearest camp, whore he
told his story and secured assistance to
bury the bodies of tho murdered men.
While this story may be, and probably
is, somewhat exaggerated, still it is cer
tainly time in its main facts, so far as
your correspondent, by close investiga
tion, is able to ascertain. It seems to
bo generally thought in this county
that Billy is hiding at the present time
somewhere between this place and
Puerto de Luna, watching the move- .
ments of 1 at Garrett, who, it is said, is
about the only man in the county with
nerve enough to follow him alone and
waiting his opportunity to get in a .
blow at his real or supposed enemies.
This makes sixteen men that are known
to have died at the hands of the " Kid."
Chisum, it will be remembered, was
the leader of one of the sides in the
bloody warbotween the Lincoln county
cattle men in 1878. When this trouble
broke out Chisum hired tho ' Kid " as
a sort of lieutenant, promising to pay
him $5 a day, as stated. The "Kid"
did valiant work, if you could denom
mate success as a murderer by such a
term, killing several men, it is claimed,
on the opposite side.
The Mustang of Australia.
The mustang of the Americau.conti-
nent has its counterpar t in at he ' Jbrum -bio"
of Australia, large herds bl which
exist in the interior parts of Queensland
and Newoouth wales. These animals
are bo numerous that they have often
been destroyed and boiled down for the
sake of their tallow and Indies ; and in
some of the newly-settled districts they
swarm in such numbers that the squat
ters have to protect themselves and the
pasturage against thir inroads. Brumbie-
stalking is a recognized pastime, the
destruction of the wild horses being as
necessary as the destruction of kangaroos
or rabbits. Tho sport of capturing and
taming these animals, however, has
attracted a good many adventurous
spirits, who adopt tactics somewhat simi
lar to those adopted bv the inhabitants
of Mexico and South America. The
hardiness and size and strength of these
brumbies are remarkable, and when
trained they aro of considerable value.
Their progeny, when crossed with Euro
pean horses, possess excellent qualities.
It is recorded that in one year no less
than seven thousand wild horses have
been shot on a single station in New
South Wales.
