PETER'S QUESTIONS. When Peter was ft sturdy lnd He moved from Orassvale with his dad; And left behind him Joe and John, And little Jake and JelTerson; Knur chums of his by day and night With whom ho used to play and fight; Now where Is Joe, and whero is John, And where is Jake and Jefferson? Ton years passed by and Pete eame I wick With these four questions iu his pack: "Now whoro is Joe, and where is John, And where is Jake and Jefferson?' "doe digs his llvln' with his pick; An' John keeps store down to the 'Crick, ' Jake is away to school I think; An' Jefferson has took to drink." And Pete eame back in ten years mors . With the same questions as before: Now where is Joe, and where is John, And where is Jake and JelTerson?' Joe caught cold diU'hiu' in the rain, An' we shan't see poor Joe again; John has got rich an' Jake got wise; Jeff is a scamp who all despise." In ten years Peter comes onee more And asking questions as before: "Now tell mo where is old friend John, And where is Jako and Jefferson?" "Why, John ho died a millionaire; Jake's gone to Congress, I declare. An' Jeff, the poor old worthless scamp, Is notion' but a common tramp." . And once more ten years later on Ho asks: "Where's Jake and Jefferson?' "Hain't heard how Governor Jacob died? lie was the Suite's especial pride. An' to his solemn funeral grand Tho great meu came from all the laud; But Jeff it's no good to bewail Why poor old Jeff has gone to jail." And once more ten years later on. Does Peter ask for Jefferson : "Why, hain't y.m heard the story yit? the pnjierg they was full of it. It filled the land from side to side, The way the poor old fellow died The Jeff who played with you when young. The worthless, gray -haired Jeff was hung." Ten years are gone with days that were, Gone questioner and answerer, And with his questions comes no more The gray-haired Peter as before; And people ask for him no more, And no one asks his questions four: "Now where is Joe, and where is John And where is Jake and Jefferson?' S. IT. Fusii, in Yankee Blade. THE BUSHRANGERS. After a voyage from Liverpool to Mel bourne I went up country with an Amer ican acquaintance named Shaw for a sort of vacation. I had sailed with Shaw while ho was Captain of a New Orleans ship, filling the berth of second mnto to his satisfaction, and, as I had saved his life on one occasion, there was a warm feeling between us. Ho was now the owner of a big sheep ranch on the Mur ray Kiver, and I was only too glad to get run ashore and see something ot a country noted lor its anomalies. This was before the days of railroads and while the penal colony was in full blast and the bushranger king of the road. We were five days riding out to Shaw s ranch, our vehicle being a wagou loaded with six yokes of bullocks, which were almost as wild as buffaloes. I heard very little about the bushrangers until we reached tlio ranch, and then Shaw gave mo such accounts of the fellows as made me hopo I should never be obliged to form their acquaintance. His immedi ate district had not been visited for two or three years, but they had come in to the north and west of him and indulged in many robberies and murders. There were three Englishmen and twelve natives on the range, which was an extent of country nine miles long by live broad. The force at the headquarters house, after our arrival, numbered three white men, a white woman, three natives, two black women, and four or five black children. No gang of bushrangers numbering less than six would dare to attack us, as the house was well armed and the black women could lire a musket as well as a man. Shaw had instructed his help to adopt a peace policy. In case a bush ranger applied at any of tho stations tor food or shelter he was to be accommo dated, and if they picked oil a sheep oc cassional!)' no notice was to be tuken of it. As I said before, he hail not been disturbed thus far, but while he deluded himself with the idea that it was an ac count of the policy pursued, events were about to occur to prove ttiat the gentle men of the bush had been waiting their own convenience. A bushranger was, in every instance, a desperate criminal w ho had made his es cape from prison or the penal settle incuts. There wasn't one of them who had not deserved tho gallows before he fled to the bush. A dozen or more of the most desperate characters sent to Tasma nia had escaped and reached the larger island and m-uetrated to the interior, and these men were particularly ferocious and and without mercy. Shuw seemed to rest easy, however, and so during the first week of my stay 1 did not bother my head about the rangers. Indeed a new comer had cuough to do to get accus tomed to the snakes, lizards, insects and other unnoyunees which kept him stirred up day and night. On the tenth day of my stay Mr. Shaw and 1 set out to visit oue of the outlying stations iu charge of an Englishman named Thomas. This man was about forty-five years old, and had deserted from an Eng lish man-of-war. Ho had three black men under his charge, and oue of them had been sent iu the day before with badly written note to tho effect that many sheep were being killed, aud that all signs went to show that a gang of rangers hud settled down in the neigh borhood. 'We were mounted on good horses aud w ell armed as wo rode away, and after au hour's ride we drew near tho station, widch consisted of a stout log hut for the keeper, another for the blacks, and pens for herding the sheep. We found the place silent aud apparently deserted, and leavit.g our horses in u thicket, we cautiously approached ou foot. The first iLcvr.y made was that the blacks had been killed, and we pushed on to the larger hut to find Thomas with in half an hour of breathing his Inst. Ho could speak in whispers, and he told us that seven bushrangers had appeared the evening before and committed the ntro- ities visible on every hand. Although he had made them welcome and prepared supper, they had come for a different pur pose. The blacks, one by one, had lieen tortured in the most horrible manner, and when tho last ono was dead they had turned on Thomas. They had sliced oft his ears, broken his fingers, cut off the end of his nose, hacked off his toes, and tortured him in other ways and had not left the place until about nn hour before our arrival. Everything of value which could be carried off was gono, and a bloody knife was left sticking in the door sill as a sort of deft to Shaw and the of ficers of the law. There was no Government patrol in that district at that time, and the only move we could make was to alarm the two nearest ranchmen and organize a pursuit on our own account. By noon next day wo had ten white men and about twenty faithful blacks in hand for a start, nnd the trail was taken up at the cabin. No one had any great hopes that we should overtake the rangers, but it was argued that pursuit must be made or they would soon terrorize the whole district. If wo did happen to un cover them there would be a hot fight. Every ranger had a price set on his head, nnd would light to the death, nnd the ranchmen were men who had faced death almost daily for years. The white men were mounted, while tho blacks were on foot, but they had no trouble iii keeping np with us. After running across the grazing lands for about a mile the trail entered the broken ground covered with thickets, and at tlio end of another mile we had to leave our horses and follow the trail on foot. It was quite evident that the fellows did not fear pursuit, for tlicy had gone at a leisurely pace, and the men best nc quuinted with the country predicted that the gang had headed for a rocky ravine in the midst of ft heavy growth, about six miles from the cabin. The predic tion was soon verified, nnd we went forward with greater caution, hoping the fellows would bo sound asleep after their night's carnival. ' They had taken two gallons of whisky from the cabin, and the chances were that they would be stupidly drunk. When within about two miles of the ravine we suddenly ran into an ambush and received a volley. One white mail was killed and another wounded, nud one black man was stretched dead. Shaw was acting as Captain of our troops, and he ordered us to deploy and advance iu open order. The rangers were in a thicket, and we soon drove them out and killed one. In pressing on after the others we became more and more sepa rated, aud after a bit I found myself alone to the right of the others. I kept advancing toward the ravine, supposing the others to be doing the same, and I had advanced a mile or more beyond tho point where we had been ambushed when it suddenly occurred to mc that I was actiug very rashly in separating myself by such a distance. I at once bore to tho left to join forces, but, unknown to me, all the others had halted half a mile iu the rear, held a brief council, and then decided to retreat. I was still bearing to tho left, and wondering why I did not discover any of the troop, when the whole gang of rangers suddenly rose up from the earth around me, and I was a prisoner. There were six of the wickedest-looking villains an honest, man ever clapped eyes ou. They were roughly dressed, their hair and whiskers long and unkempt, aud their clothing was mostly of sheep skins. I have seen some hard looking men in my time, but never anything to compare with this half dozen who were under the leadership ot tho notorious Joe Trimble. This man had been transported for murder, aud during the two years ho was in the colony ho killed two guards and led a revolt, lie escaped from Tasmania by floating out of the harbor on a plank, being loaded down with forty pounds of chain at the time, but whether he was picked up at sea or driven to Australian coast was not known to the authorities. He got there some how, and for two years previous to my story had been a veritable terror in a dis tnct 100 miles square. For a minute ufter the rangers rose up about me not a word was said. Each man wns heavily armed, and, though had a rifle in my hands, it would have been folly to move. "Well, whonreyou?" asked the leader, after we had all taken a good look at each other. I gave him all the information asked for, aud was honest in stating tho mini her of the party in pursuit. They did not know that the ranger whom had seen lying dead had fallen by our bullets, but supposed he had become separated from them as they retreated. When I admitted lus death their rage kuew no bounds. Hud I been an uu armed traveler they would doubtless have taken my life just the same, for this gang had never been known to spare any one. But when they knew that 1 was one of the party, aud was more or less respon sible for the death of their comrade, they would have cut me to pieces then am there had it not occurred to them that such a death was too merciful for me And, too, they were not aware of the fact that Shaw's party bad retreated After an outburst, lasting three or four minutes, I was disarmed, my pockets emptied, my hat appropriated by one and my jacket by another, and we set off for the ravine at a dog trot, two of the men going before and the others follow ing pftcr me and striking me at every opportunity. The ravine was a dark and dismal spot, reached by a well worn path, wind mg about aud making a gradual descent We went down in single file, and when we finally got to the bottom I found hut made of brush and liiubs aud rock with the numerous evidences that the place had long been occupied as head quarters. It had now come to be sun down, and as nothing had been heard from Shaw s iaru since my c&nture kiui outlaws reasoned that they had gjven -up the pursuit. I got a pretty good look at the surroundings, nnd, ns near as I could make out, the path was tho only way out of the ravine. As we came down one of the men took his seat on a rock, with his revolver in hand, to act as guard, nnd, ns I got no orders, I sat down on another rock near tho hut. One of tho men started a hre, artother cut some meat, and a third went down a ravine nnd got a can of water at a spring. While supper was preparing the leader of the gang took a long pull at the whisky jug nnd then came over and stood in front of me nnd indulged in a tirade of oaths, threats nnd ubuse. He swore he'd clean out every ranchman in the district, nnd that he would have twenty lives for the death of his comrade. He boasted of the number of his victims and the amount of his plunder, and ended up by declaring that I should bo skinned alive aud my head sent to Shuw ns a re minder of whnt wns in store for him. I made no answer, knowing that nnything I could say would only add to his fury. I was hopeless. I could not figure out the slightest chance to escape my impend ing fate. A primitive meal was soon ready and five of the outlaws sut down to devour it, while tho sixth kept his place on the rock. At this time I thought I heard a noise as of distant thunder, aud the air felt to me as if a storm was brewing. It had come to be fully dark now, nnd af ter an interval of three or four minutes there came a blinding flash of lightning, followed by a crash of thunder, which seemed to illuminate nnd shake the whole island. The men suspended their eating to look up, and the guard rose to his feet. There was a minute of perfect si lence, nnd then there cinie another flash, followed by n rush up the ravine. A drove of kangaroos, which must have numbered 300, dashed right into our camp, seemingly terrified by the storm, and as they readied us there was another flash, a crash, aud I heard the outlaws shouting. I opened my eyes to sec the guard lying on the earth and the path clear, aud guided by the instinct of self preservation I dashed up the path. Some of the beasts had gone ahead of me, nud some behind, each one squealing in alarm, and I huve no clear recollection of my trip out of the ravine. It came ou to rain at a tremendous rate, nnd by and by I found myself iu tho woods and com pelled to fall down iu n heap from ex haustion. 1 believe I was then two miles from the ravine. The storm lasted for two or three hours, and after recovering my breath nnd my wits I crept into a thicket and remained there until daylight. Two hours later I had the good fortune to come out of the woods in sight of tho ranch where Roberts had been killed, and before noon I was at Shaw's. Three days later after a new party was orga nized and descended to the bushrangers' hiding place. The fellows had departed bag and baggage, and none of their kid ney were seen iu that section again for a couple.of years. ATeu Yvrt Hun, Finish It. When Samuel F. B. Morse, afterwaro. famous as the inventor of the electric tele graph, was u young painter studying m London, he made a drawing from a small cast of the Farneso Hercules, intending to offer it to Benjamin West an an exam ple of his work. Being anxious tor tno lavoraine opin ion of his master, he spent a fortnight upon the drawing, und thought he hud made it perfect. When Mr. West saw the drawing, lie examined it critically, commended it in this and that particular, then handed it buck, saying: "Very well, sir, very well. Go on aud fluish it." -'But it is finished," said the young ar tist. "Oh, no!" said Mr. West; "look here, aud here, and here." And he put his finger upon various unfinished places. Mr. Morse saw tlio delects, now that they were poiuted out to him, and de voted another week to remedying them. Then he carried tho drawing ngaiu to the master. Mr. West was evidently much pleased, and lavished praises upon the work; but at the end he hauded it back, and said as before : "Very well indued, sir. Go on and finish it." "Is it not finished J" asked Mr. Morse, by this time all but discouraged. "Not yet; you have not uiurKeu mar, muscle, nor the articulations of the lin ger joiuts." The student once more toon tne uraw- . . .i .) mg Home, unu spent several uuy iu it-tout-him it. He would have it done this time. But the critic was not yet satisfied. The work was good, "very good indeed, remarkably clever," but it needed to be "finished." "I cannot finish it," said Mr. Morse, iu despair. "Well," answered Mr. West, "I have tried you long enough. You have learned more by this drawing than you would have accomplished in double the time by a dozen hulf-tiuished drawings." Yunkti Blade. The Hereditury Principle Illustrated. The principle of hereditury has received a most striking illustration iu the rase of the family and kinsmen of cx-l'resideut Theodore Dwight Woolscy, of Yale Col lege. Dr. Woolscy was a desceudent of James Pierrepout, the famous uuiivu of Boxbury, who having become dissatisfied with the liberal tendencies of Harvard College, induced Elilm Yule to found a more conservative school at New Haven. The present President of Yule, Timothy Dwight, is also a descendant of the same founder, aud with the history of the families of Dwight is iuterwoveu that of Edwards and Pierrepout, who have given many illustrious names to American his tory or letters. It is no more coincidence that both Woolscy and Dwight, nine teenth century Presidents of Yale, should both have been greut-great-graudsous of the priucipul founder of the college; for the high thinking and plain living of the early families who were closely associated with the institution, developing itself into a hereditary impetus or ability, was quite likely to supply the qualities needed i in future PosiduuLs. Act Yvrk &tnr, , HOUSEHOLD AFFAIUS. now to swki:p. Some persons advise scattering small bits of wet paper over the carpet, to take up the dust when sweeping. This may answer well where a broom is used, but if you use a carpet sweeper, you w ill find that the paper does not always come off the carpet readily. It hugs down so closely that the sweeper slides over it without being able to take hold of it. We have found nothing so satisfactory ns bran and salt well-moistened but not wet. The bran takes up the dust, and the salt seems to freshen up the colors in the carpet. The sweeper wifl take up every particle of dust without any trouble. Amerinin Ayncvlturirt. MOTHS IN CLOTHING. More ihau 150 veal's ngo Reaumur, ob serving t'lat clothing moths never at tacked the wool and hair of living uni mr.ls, inferred that the natural odor of the wool or of the oily matter in it was distasteful to them, consequently he rubbed various garments with the wool of fresh pelts, nnd also wet other gar ments with the water in which wool had been washed, and found that they were never attacked by moths. Experiments with tobacco smoke and the odors of spiiitsof turpentine showed that both were equally destructive, but it was nec essary to close the rooms very tightly and keep the fumes very dense iu them for twenty-four hours to obtain satisfactory results. Chests of cedar or sprigs of this tree are so disagreeable to them that they will not deposit their eggs where this odor is at all strong; but should the eggs be laid before the garments are packed away the odor will not prevent the hatching of the eggs nor the destruc tive work of the hirvie afterward. Clolhi.ig may also be protected from moths by packing it in stout cotton or paper bags made perfectly tight, but this mint be done before the moths appear on thu wing. BECIPKS. Carrots with White Sauce The small, French carrots, or larger ones sliced, are delicious if simmered until tender in salted water, and served in white sauce, made by adding n spoonful of fiour wet with cold milk to a cup of boiling milk. Stir iu a lump of butter, season to taste, lay in the carrots and let them get hot through. Deviled Fish Half a pound of mu coid, boiled, flaky fish; shred fine. Mix one tublespoonful of flour with a little milk und stir it into a gill ot boiliu milk ; add a descrtspoonful of butter and remove from the fire. Pour over the tisli; add also two yokes of hard-boiled eggs mashed fine, a tablespoon of finely-minced parslev, and salt nud cayenne pepper to taste. Fill clean scallop shells with the mixture, brush over with beaten egg, cover with crumbs and brown. Apple Pudding A very nice pudding is niudo from stale cake aud stewed apples either fresh or dried. Crumble the cake and put a thick layer in a but tercel pudding dish, ndd a layer of stewed apples and add another ot cake crumbs For u quart dish of this mixture, beat the yokes of two eggs aud the white of oue with a pint of milk and three table spoonfuls of sugar; pour over the cake and apples and hake thirty minutes Draw to the oven door and cover with a meriugue. made from the white of the egg beaten with sugar. Shoulder of Lamb A shoulder of lamb cooked as follows is u very cheap and excellent dinner: Have the butcher cut out the shoulder-blade, aud the first length aud half the second of the fore leg, taking care not to mangle the meat. Stuff with a forcemeat made of bread crumbs with one boiled and mashed onion, seasoned with salt, pepper aud sage. Truss it up something in the shape of a duck and sew shut. Lay iu a dripping-pan ou a few sliced vegetables, pour over a gill of hot w ater, aud bake twenty minutes to the pound. Garnish with new, small carrots, onions and new potatoes; strain and thicken the gruvy, pour it over all and serve. Rolled Beefstake Make a dressing of a cup of fine bread crumbs, au ounce of minced salt pork, sage, salt und pepper, and mix well with a tublespoonful of incited butter. Lay two pounds of round steak on a board, trim off the fat, und with a choppiug-knife gush the upper surface, but do not cut through. Spread the dressing on this side, roll up like jelly cake and fasten with skewers. Lay over a few thin slices of salt pork and lay in a saucepan a little copped onion und carrot, cover with a pint of water to which has been added salt and a little vinegar. Simmer until very tender, probably three hours. Lay in a baking pan, dredge with flower, and brown quickly. Strain and thicken the gravy and pour over the meat. Sweetbreads Farmers frequently kill their own calves and sell them to a country butcher, who does lot know the vulue of sweetbreads, for which a city customer must pay from forty to seventy five cents u pair. They are easily cooked, and iiuot delightful when prepared properly. Soak them iu a bowl of cold water for an hour; pull off the skin und fat ; parboil for twenty minutes in water with a little salt; throw in cold water for five minutes and then press between two plates with a weight on top until perfectly cold. Dip iu beaten egg und bread crumbs, uud fry iu hot drippings. They ure especially nice with green peas served in a circle around thcui. Aiiuri (an A'jrifullurinl. Edible 1 lowers.

Wolve and Coyotes Driven From Their Dens by Dynamite Clear ing the Country of Wild Animal. A correspondent of the New York World writing from Cheyenne, says: Although hunting parties have fre quently gone out in Wyoming for tho royal sport of wolf-hunting, yet the idea of a systematic drive, having for its scene of operations several hundred square miles of territory, was a novel one and attracted widespread attention among W yoming people. The rapid settling up of Nebraska has driven ninny wolves and coyotes across into Wyoming, i'he repeal of a scalp bounty law by the last Territorial Legis lature has removed much of the incentive, tokilliug the animals and has resulted in their increase to phenomenally large numbers. The stockmen have been heavy losers from this condition of affairs. Young calves and colts fall easy victims to a pack of hungry gray wolves or co votes. Even yearling calves were pulled lown nnd killed if they strayed away from the herd of cattle to which they belonged. Hundreds of dollars have been lost this season by the cattle and horse raisers of Southern Wyoming, aud a big wolf drive was the outcome. At daylight, from every ranch m the wolf-iufested region, stockmen, herders and cowboys, well armed anil mounted took the field against the wolves. They were reinforced from Cheyenne by over three hundred mounted men and boys. Stockmen and cowboys from other parts of the county joined the Cheyenne party and brought horses and dogs toniil iu the chase. A large number of ladies attended on horseback and in carriages to witness the drive. At 7 o'clock the long line of riders. under command of ten captains of the chase, spread out und moved forward. From the hills near the Organ ranch, where the extreme right whit of the line started, the scone was unique and stir ring. As far eastward as the eye could reach horsemen were riding to and fro in the tall grass of the creek bottoms. Mingling with the cornet culls of tho captains of the different divisions was the musical clamor of scores of yelping and barking dogs of every description, from the shapely hound to the yellow cur, who was present to go under horses' heels and take stray shots into his an atomy. All the haunts of the wolves und coyotes were ridden through and beaten. The occupants usually were scared by the din of the approaching chae and raced across tho prairie toward the shelter of the caves in Chalk Bluffs far in advance of thu line of hunters. Occasionally a slinking pair of coyotes or a snarling gray wolf was run down und a fusilade of shots from the hunters cut them down without mercy. Whenever a wolf came into sight a bunch of riders would nice after him iu true cowboy style, horses on a dead run, hats waving uud i very man yelling iu a style that would scare au Indian. A lively incident of the chase was when the hounds turned a big gray wolf und brought him at buy near the line of riders. Afraid to shoot at him for fear of killing some of the dogs, expert cow boys set out to rope him. A skillful roper threw his lariat fairly over lus wolfslup s head. J he other ropers missed him and the success ful cowboy had a lively time bringing his quarry to the death. The brute snapped uud snarled nud made n savage rush at his captor. Whirling his horse quickly to one side and then giving him the spurs the horseman rode at lull speed across the prairie, throwing the wolf off his feet and drugging him to death across the rough ground.
