it a few miles above our: camp, engaged
principally in picking them. .Jane and
her. mother were' with this party, and
almost everyday some of' the squaws
"would bring down berries in variety to
sell to the miners. One night soon after
Jane made her first appearance at tho
bar it rained very hard,; causing Beaver
creek, from which we took our water
i for mining purposes, to rh:o minimally
high and flood our main flume to such
an extent that it broke. This stopped
Work until the break could be repaired.
Part of tho men, thai of ure, -went up
early in tho morning' to mead tho Hume,
while the others ' lounged about the1
camp and the bar, talking, snioking
and doing odd chores, Waiting to. begin
work as soon as thy could get water for
"their sluieebcxes. ' ; f
Dublin Dan and four or five others
were sitting on a largo hemlock log near
tho camp, talking and smoking to kill
time, when Jane came along the path
by the log with a basket of berries. As
she came in front of a fellow known in
camp as Jack of Clubs, because of a. sup
posed resemblance to that rather no
torious knave, he suddenly put out his
foot. As she was walking pretty fast
she tripped and fell headlong down a
steep bank seven or eight feet ! on to
some rocks below, spilling the jberries
and slashing the basket in the fall J
Now, I do not think that Jack in4
tended to throw the girl down the bankj
but he did not havo that, quality of
manhood which prompts a. noblei nature
to admit a wrong, and he was inclined
to make a joke of the matter. 1 But as
Jano lay whero she fell Dan Quickly
leaped down and picked her up with
gentle han,ds. Ho wrapped his silk hand
kerchief around hor hand, which.was
bleeding freely from a cut made by the
sharp rocks. J' He picked up her jbnsket,
spoko kindly to her qfid gavo her $1 to
pay for the spilled berries. Fortunately
she was not seriously hurt, and after
thanking Dan .and giving ' him ' grate
ful look she-went down to tho river and
joined her mother. !. i
When Dan came back to where the
men were, ho looked ancrrv andisaid to
Jack, "Ye blackguard, ye ought to be
ashamed to do a thing loike that!" j
Jack said ho bad no thought of hurt
ing tho girl, but just meant to scare her
a little, and to turn it off tried to joke
Dim for the interest betook in her. See
ing that Jack was not disposed jto have
any quarrel, Dan's good humor oon as
sorted itself and tlic affair ended ivithout
further trouble. ' f j
V In a short time afterward the men
went to work n3 nsual, audi in! the ex
citement of mining life this little inci
dent was forgotten by all but Dan. As
several days passed and tho girl did not
cekne there any more, ho began to won
der if. her absence was' duo to injuries
received by her fall, and he resolved in
his own mind if such were tho case he
would tako tho first opportunity to pick
a quarrel -and wiiip Jack for it. After
about a week, however, ono morning
Jano appeared again at the 'camp. - But
how changed in appearance ! At first no
one recognized lwr. Sho was very neatly
dressed in every way, and the gnnr boots
were replaced by a nice pair of shoes ;
hor black hair hang down her back in
two heavy plaita, the ends being joined
with aTiow of pink ribbon. In) her new
suit she was quite picturesque and pleas
ing, and it was not surprising that she
was not at first recognised as "Gum
boots Jane." 1 !
But what had wrought this wondrous
change in so short a time? Had that
6trange magic called love, which can
suddenly transform the girl into a worn--
an and .the woman into a heroine, ready
to do and dare anything for her lover,
touched her heart? Perhaps so. At any
rate it js certain that Dan's kind actions
and words of hy?pathy made a deep im
pression upon this nimplo girl. Still,
he was more bashful and shy toward
him than she had been before sho was
hurt, for, while she came down to our
camp almort &vpry day, she hardly ever
ventured within speaking-distance of
Dan, though she would often en or stand,
where she could seo him and anxiously
watch him as long as she was nnob
. Berved or timo would permit But after
this had been going on for a week or
two ho was much surprised ono day by
her walking straight up to him, and
withoulVhcsitatiou saying: "I liko you.
Bad Indian want to kill .white man.
Look out !" Before ho recovered from
his surprise or could say .a word, she
turned and walked rapidly away.
Dan thought over tho matter and
tried to reach some conclusion as to
what she meant, without; any definite
result. But ho decided that, unless the
girl knew of some danger! cither to him
or his companions blwj would j not have
given this warning, and thai! it, would
bo proper to telJ thera about it That
game day, however, a mam called Sootty,
from Nevada, was down at Buck's sta
tion on some business, and on his return
brought news that caused considerable
excitement at the bar and explained
what Jane meant by her warning. He
said there had been trouble , between
some Cassir packers and Indians work
ing for them, which had resulted in the
packers killing one of tho Indians. Now
the natives of Alask and the adjacent
territory havo a law, running back as
far as their traditions roach, that; when
a member of ono tribe kills a member of ,
a different tribo tho killing must be
paid ,fpr with blankets or pther prop
erty, tr, if not, tlu it must be settled by
Jmmab blood, and a lifo for a life is de
fpanded. The tribe of the deceased will
l6n kill one of the other tri be at tho
first opportunity. They do not s.eek the
jierson who committed ihe homicide,
brit take the life of. any member of his
tribe that falls into their power. ,
Vbe'n white men came into this coun
try, the natives applied this sanguinary
law to them, and it was well understood
: by all in our camp. We knew that oae
of our lives might have to pay for the
native killed by the packers, and! we
therefore agrbed to keep: a vigilant
watch for such ganger. .' i . .
For awhile wearried our guns with
us down to the aines, and no man
would go away fioithe camp any con
siderable distance alon. , But as nothing
more was heard of tl matter our vig
ilance rapidly relaxed, Ind it was soon
almost foreotten.
; One morning Dan was work on his
claim. His partner had Yione up , thi

Special St&r Correspondence
x Raleigh, N. C, July 15.
The Populists are the only class of
people in the State who do not know
how they will vote in November. The
leature of news in the Caucasian's edi
torial this week was that it did not come
out against Bryan. A loop hole was
left so that the paper can advise its
readers to place themselves on the
Bryan wagon in case the St. Louis con
vention declares for the Nebraikian.
Another it stance of Butler's cunning.
He decrys the Democratic party, and
savs it is in a hole, but still he is in a
position to holler as loud as any one lor
the Democratic nominees.
A leading Populist says a great fight
is going on in the party, and those in this
State are fearful of ' the result. If the
Pops fail to put foith a candidate at St.
Louis it will mean that their organiza
tion goes out of existence. There-is
little doubt but that a great many mem
bers of the party would go over to the
Republican ranks. They have been
taught to distrust everything Demo
cratic, and thek' hatred for the Demo
crats is so intense that they cannot for-,
get it. The truth is a, great many pre
fer the Republican party.
North Carolina Populists have a larger
representation at' St. Louis than any
otber State. They are entitled to ninety-five
delegates and Texas comes next
with a representation of ninety-four. -
A mad dog went through the town a
few days ago and bit as many as a dozen

to kill him after being bitten by a mad

over what they term the, uncalled for

Baltimore, July 15 The war be
tween the Baltimore Steam Packet Com
pany and the Seaboard Air Line on one
side and the Baltimore. Chesapeake &
Richmond Steamboat Company and the
Southern Railway Company on the other
is becoming hot. The latter company re
cently put on a line "of steamers, between
Baltimore and Norfolk, invading the
Steam Packet Company's (old Bay Line)
exclusive territory. Some slight cuts in
rates are also alleged to have been
made. To-day the Steam Packet
Company retaliated. In connection
with its ally the Seaboard Air Line, it
announced a sweeping reduction in all
rates, extending to all the principal
Southern cities. In addition to the cut
q rates the Steam Packet Company will,
beginning next Friday, run steamers be
tween Biltimore and Richmond, Va.,
by way of Chesapeake Bay and James
river, thereby invading the territory
heretofore exclusively controlled by the
Southern Railway Company.
Baltimoreans are large holders -in the
Seaboard Air Line and the Steam Facket
Company, and they state, with their
officers, that thev will drive the South
ern Railway Company out' cf their ter
ritory or force them to carry passengers
and freight. lor nothing. Some of the
cuts made to-day were in the neighbor
hood cf 40 per cent.

water. The water revived her a litjlo,
and she lay there calmly looking at the
helpless , men about her, but gave no
signs of pain. She spoke the name of
her mother, though hot as if to call her.
Perhaps sho know her mother was too
far away to come iu time. But she look-,
id up at Dan as ho stdod at the bedside
almost blinded by tears and strange
light was in her face. She kvas not
beantifnJ in life, but as. she lay there in
the very jjrasp of death she had'a beauty
not of earth. She put out her poor little
brown ,hand to Dan. L Ho took it and
folded it caressingly in both of his.
Love is stronger than death. She looked
intently at him with a soft smile on her
'lips and a tender light in her eyes as
she whispered to him in her native
tongue r 'Yekeahway 'hafct kookanah

Thou tho light faded from her face, and
the little brown hand lay limp and
nerveless in Dan's. She was dead.

by tho drops falling on tho innumerable,
leaves of , the forest as very remarkable
and says tho noise was like the rushing
of a great body of water and could be
heard r.t.a distance of a quarter of a
taile., Baihplcr gives a lively picture of
the rain f.t Gorgoiiia, off the coast ! of
Panama, yhPM?, lie snjs, when he. and
his men ivere drinking choeolfttG in the
ppen air, it raiurd .so heavily that some
of them (ec!ured they could not empty
their calabashes, for they could not
drink up the water as fasifit fell into
Ahem. In many paitsjofuio tropics rain
is a remarkably regular phenomenorn.
At Rio de Janeif o it is said that it used
Sto be the faiHon in invitations for the
afternoon'' to state-, vhether ) the: guests
werota; nssemblo before or .after the
Jthundorstorm which came on regularly
every day at a particular hour,
j At tho government cinchona planta
tions in Jamaica, on Dec. 21, 1885,
11.80 inches of rain fell in 24 hours,
"but this measurement docs not indicate'
the total fall, as a gauge when read at
the usual hour of ? a. m.j was found
jfnll and overflow ing. It is pjobablothat
unless pare is taken to prevent this oc
curing many very heavy jialls are hot
fully measured. On tho rest of the
Blue mouutains, on tho same planta
tions, 81.50 inches fell in one week, of
which three days were fine. Gentle

Poen Duck Make You Selfish?
"Talking of game,." said a diner at
an up town cafe, "did you j ever notice
that a duck has a weird effect on a
man's selfish inst incts? A tender canvas
back, cooked to a turn, will arouse a pei
culiar gluttony in the average good fel- I
low's nature. I vo watched this curious
development for years among my friends
and acquaintances. ' Just drop into a
fclub or a swell restaurant about tho time
the shooting season opens. If t you see a
fellow hiding oyer in a coriier, his eye-,
balls gleaming like a cannibal's over a
young missionary on the firis why, he's
got a duck. Fellows of warm, social
qualities, addicted to . table fellowship
and liberality, become possessed of a
solitaire gastronomic mania totally out
of their line when they strike duck.
They steal off like a dog with a fresh
lone, and you can almost hear a growl
from the .greedy beast if you go too close'
to that bird. Take that fellow 300 daya
in tho year and you'll find him angling
for some other good fellow to share a
dinner with him says he hates to eat
alone. .JTdw, I want to know why the
succulent duck should arouse this un-:
canny instinct in a social specimen of
tho man. Think it out if you can. !'

The Princess Metteraich.
In tho days when a black skirt looped
up over a short colored petticoat -was as
daring a costnmo for a lady of position
as tho divided garment of j the cycleuse
is today, tho Princess Metternich cager
ly urged the empress to wear the new
fashion on a public occasion. One of the
ladies ot the court who knew that the
advice, if adopted would bring censure
on her mistress, asked pointedly, "But
would yon, give tho same advico to your
own emjres?3 (of Austria)?' ''t)h, no!'
was the unswer. "But the Empress
Elizabeth is a "real empress. " j
The other anecdote, though hot more
creditably to the princessl taste, has a
racy humor about it which " puts tis, in
spite of ourselves, on better terms with J
her. Having lost patience in an argu
ment with Mme. de Persignyj she ap
pealed to the empress, who begged her
to give in, saying of Mmeide Persigny
' 'Remember that her mother is mad. " j
, "So her mother is mad?' retorted the
princess. ' 'Well, madame, my father is
mad. So, why should I give in to her?V,

Of course there is no deficiency of lo

Gladness Comes
lllith a better undierstandipg of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper ef

rightly directed. There is .comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
: sickness are not due t6 any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is-the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. . Its beneficial
effects are due to the! fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
' all important, in ordter to get its bene
ficial effects, to note! when you pur
chase, that yon have the genuine arti
cle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig1 Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoymemti of good health,
andhe system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actjiral disease, one
may be commended to :the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere. SvruD of
Figs stands highest and is most largelVn
