HOW A GIRL DIFESDKD A FORT.
A STORY FOB GIBLS. I
Women are told if they would vote
they must light. To all Bach we com
mend the following story of the bravery
and sagacity of a girl of fourteen, who
defended a fort for a week, her garrison
consisting of two cowardly soldiers, one
of whom she prevented from blowing up
the fort; two boys of ten and twelve, an
old man of eighty, and a man who had
never fired a gun. For a week she held
the Iroquoii at bay; cheering the fright
ened women and children and still more
frightened soldiers, going without food
or sleep; always on the alert, and at last
delivering her charge in safety to a de
tachment of forty soldiers sent to her aid.
The history we copy, with the nsaal in
justice of history towards women, does
not give her fall name only Madeline,
although the lieutenant's name, who
came to her aid, is mentioned. j. -
This feat of Madeline is one of the
most courageous on record. It was not
a sadden spurt of enthusiasm, but a long
con testea battle with wily foes without
the fort and cowardly friends withiA.
From Brant ai d Red Ja-ke , ; Elward Eggie'on
and LiJle Kggieson ceelje. ;
There was a settlement called Ver
chires, some twenty miles below Mon
treal. Settlers n.ust always have a place
of refuge. Here was a fort connected by
a covered passage with a block j house.
One October morfling in 1672 tho inhab
itants were in the field at work, j There
were but two soldiers at the fort. The
commander and his wife were absent.
Their daughter, Madeline, a girl of f our
- teen, stood on the landing with a hired
man, when she heard tiring. .i
"Run, Mademoiselle, run f cried the
man; "here come the Iroquois."
Looking around the girl saw the In
dians near at hand. .She ran for the fort
And the Indians, seeing they could not
catch; her, fired at her. Their bul
lets whistled round her and "made
the time seem; very j long,"
as she afterward said. As soon as Made
line reached the fort she cried out: "To
arms! to arms!" hoping that she would
get assistance. - Bat the two soldiers
were so frightened that they had bidden
in the block house. When Madeline
reached the gate of the fort she found
two women there crying for- their has
bands, who were in the field and had
just been killed. ; Madeline forced them
in and Abut the gate. She instantly took
command of the fort and went to ex
amine her defenses. She found that
some of the palisades had fallen, down,
. leaving holes through which the ienemy
could easily enter. She ordered them
immediately set up and even helped
among them herself . When the little
commander repaired to the block-hoase,
where she found her garrison of two, one
was hiding in the corner, the other with
a lighted match in his hand.
"What are you going' to do with that
match?" said Madeline. : , j
"Light i the powder and blow; us all
up," answered the soldier, t !
. "You are a miserable coward," said the
girl. "Get out of this place." i
People always like to obey in time of
peril the .one person' of resolution and
coolness. ' The soldier did as Madeline
bid. "i She then flang aside her bonnet,
put on a hat and took a gun. Madeline's
whole force consisted of the above men
tioned soldiers, her two brothers of ten
and twelve years of age and an old man
of eighty with some women and chil
. dren. ' . ..' ' , ''..'.:"'
"Let us fight to the death," said Made
line to her brothers, j "We are fighting
for oilr couutry and our religion: lie
member our father has taught yon that
gentlemen are born to shed their blood
for the service of Qod and the king."
Madeline now placed her brothers and
the soldiers at the loopholes, where they
fired at the Indians, who were cautious
about attacking the fort, especially as
they did not know how large the gar
rison was. Besides, - they; were
yet occupied in chasing and i killing
the men whom they had surprised at
their-l work. " i Madeline i commanded
that a cannon should be fired to impress
the Indians the more, and withthe hope
to thus summon some of the Boldiers
who were out hunting. Meantime the
women and children uad kept up a con
tinual screaming. The girl now ordered
them to keap still for fear the Indians
should be encouraged by their fright to
make an attack. A effapo was soon seen
in the river arjorbaching the landing. It
contained .a settler and hia family, who
were trvinj? to make their escape; to the
f jrt. Madeline tried to get the soldiers
to cro to their assistance, but their new
found courage could not be brought up
1 1 thi point. The girl conceived the
c tthat if she went to the landing to
meet : the settler and his family the In
diana would believe it to be a ruse to
draw them near the fort that a sally
might be made upon them. She sta'
tioned the man servant at tbd crate to
watch it aud walking down to the land
ing alone escorted the settlers baik. The
Indians did not touch them. "We put
so bold a face oo it," she afterward said,
"that they thought they had more to fear
than we." ?.'-. -
She now ordered the Iroduoia to be
fired upon whenever they came in sight.
Toward evening a violent wind began to
oiow, snow and hail fell and a stormy
night . set in. The little commander
though to herself that this would be just
the time when the Indians would try to
enter the fort, under- cover of the dark
ness. "I assembled all my troops," said
Madeline, gravely; "that is my six per
sons."; tiod has saved us to-day from the
hands of our enemies," the young girl
said to them, "but we must take care not
to fall into their snares to-night. As for
me I want you to see that I m not
afraid. I will take charge of the fort
witn an old man of eighty and another
who never fired a gun, and you, Pierre
Tontine (the settler) will go to the block
house with the women and children, be
cause that is the strongest place; and if
I am taken don't surrender, even if I am
out to pieces and burned before your
eyes, "ine enemy cannot hurt you in
the block-house if you make the least
show of fight."
Madeline now stationed her brothers
on two of the bastions, while she and the
servant took charge of the other two.
This one girl, a man who did not know
how to fire a gun, and two little boys
kept guard over the fort as sentinels,
while Vail well" could be heard from time
to time answered back and forth from the
fort to the block-house. The night was
very stormy. About one o'clock the sen
tinel whose station was near the gate,
called out: "Mademoiselle, I hear some-
tning.
Madeline went to the gate, where she
coul l see, dimly defined upon the snow
covered ground, the outlines of what few
cattle the Iroquois had not butchered.
nil Al . i . . e m m i
me utuer seniineis were in iavor oi let
ting them into the fort.
"God forbidT exclaimed Madeline;
"lou don t know all the tricks of tne
savages. They are no doubt following
tne cattle, covered with skins of beasts.
so as to get into the fort if we are simple
enougn to open tne gate for them.
But Madeline at last concluded she
would let the animals in. She made her
brothers stand ready with their guns
cooked in case anything went wrong, and
so she and the man admitted the cattle
in safety. . The night passed without any
further incident.
The Indians afterward confessed that
they had hel1 a council and decided upon
a plan for taking the fort, but had not
carried it out because the garrison were
so much on their guard.
The anxious watchers were much
cheered when day dawned. Everybody
now felt courageous except Tontine's
wife. She was very timid, "as all
Parisian women are. remarked Made
line. She begged her husband to carry
her to a p'ace of safety.
"I will never abandon the fort while
Mademoiselle Madeline is here," said her
husband.
"I will never abandon it." said the
girl; "I had rather die than give it up to
the Iroquois. I think it very important
that they should never get possession of
any French fort, becaaSe if they do they
will think they can get others, and will
be -more bold and impudent than ever."
Madeline commanded her little garri
son for a week. Daring this time they
had f rjequent alarms, for the Iroquois
still moved all about them. ' "I may say
with truth," said the little heroine, "that
I did not eat or sleep for twice twenty
four hours. I did not go into my
father's house, bat kept always on the
bastion, or went to the blockhouse to see
how the people were behaving. I always
kept a cheerful and smiling face, and
encouraged my small company with the
hope that help wonld come quickly."
At last a detachment of forty men,
under a lieutenant named La Momerie,
was sent from Montreal to the relief of
the fort. They came up stealthily in the
night, not knowing whether tne Iroquois
had taken the fort or not. Bat one of
the alert sentinels thought he beard a
sound and called out: "Qui vive?" The
girl commander had just dropped into a
doza, with her head upon a table, and
her gan lying across her arms, when the
sentinel Bpoke to her telling her that be
had heard something from the river.
Madeline immediately mounted the bas
tion. "Who are you?" she cried.
" "We are Frenchmen; it is La Mo
merie, who comes to bring you help,"
was the answer.
Placing a sentinel at the gate Madeline
went down to the river to meet the rein
forcements. "Monsieur, I surrender my arms to
you," said the girl, with a military sa
lute to La Momerie. .
"Mademoiselle, they are in good
hands, gallantly answered the Lieu
tenant. "Better than you think," said Made
line. La Momerie accompanied her to the
fort, inspected it, and found all ia satis
factory order, with the sentinels at their
posts.
"it is time to relieve tuem, monsieur,
said Madeline: "we have not been off our
bastions for a week."
Wanted a Jub.
Yesterday a man came into the Boom
erang office with the air of a man who is
tired of this earth and wants to wing
his way to a laud of forgetfnlness and
plunge into the depths of oblivion.
After he had taken a seat on the tete a
tete and hung his hat on the escritoire,
he said:
"I'm a newspaper man myself. Didn't
know but you might want a good man
on the staff, somebody to write up the
sad features of life and fnrnish the tear
ful wail, as it were. Life is full of woe,
and in my estimation every paper should
have a woe editor. I am well fitted for
that position as you will see if I may be
allowed to go on and detail my own ex
perience to you. I went down into Kan
sas and started a small paper in a town
on the Santa Fe road, with the assurance
that I would meet with the cordial aid
and sympathy of the people there. I
didn't expect to do a big business, but I
just wanted to run a little modest paper
with patent telegraph news and elec
trotype editorials in it. The first week
my patent inside didn't get there, and I
had to print that issue on some paper
bags that I got from our leading grocer.
This '.ras an advantage, because his ad. i
was already printed on the first page and
it saved the wear and tear of display
type. 'Still, the paper looked meager,
and did not attract the attention I had
hoped for it. It did not influence the
administration nor boom up the town as
I bad anticipated.
"The next week I wrote up a little
social, party and gave the name of a
young man who .was drunk and frolic
some and shot out all the lights. - He also
shot an old man who was 'calling off the
dance.
"I thought the press ought to be fear
less and outspoken if the occasion re
quired and I wrote itf tip' carefully and as
I thought, fairly, out i the . young man
man came around the next day and con
vinced !" me that I was wrong. 1 was
writing a scathing article on agnosticism
when he came in and knocked me under
the job press with a chair. I didn't
know him at all and I thought it was
rather eccentric for a total stranger, so
when I got up again I told him so. Then
he jammed me into the wood box and
poured a keg of ink and a oan of coal oil
on me before I could have an under
standing with him.
Then he went away.
"That evening he came with some
friends and bought the good will of the
establishment, and the whole office and
subscription list of me. He had the ad
vantage of me, and bought it low. I
felt that I was making a sacrifice, but I
was afraid I might not have another op
portunity to sell, so I sold. The price,
of course, was nominal, but the induce
ments held out were not to be ignored.
"Sines then I have started three
papers, and had three large and hotly
contested fights. My collar-bone has
been broken in two places, and my doc
tor bills have alway been larger than the
other expenses of the office. The dentist
has pulled teeth out of my palate ever
since I entered the newspaper business.
As soon as I got so I could see with both
eyes one of them has been closed up on
me, and my nose has at different times
pointed around all over my face.
"What I want now is a chance to work
on some paper inoog., as I might say,
and where I will be by mvself. I can
take most any current event and tinge it
with sadness. I can give an air of hope
less melancholy to the occurrences of
every day life that will make your paper
known all over the world. I will admit
that this is an innovation in journalism,
Eerhaps, and I will take, I think, and I
now that if I can succeed in imbuing
into my work that settled air of gloom
that I feel, your paper will win for itself
in a short time the name of being the
most ghastly record of disappointment
and grief -stricken, horror-soaked re
morse in the world."
The manager stopped a few moments
and then said, while his voice was
choked with emotion, that the opaque
gloom department was ably filled at
present, and the stranger went out into
the cold, hard, nnsympathetio outer
world, taking with him his leaden bur
den of woe and a silk umbrella that
stood in the hall. Bill Nye.
A Carious Snuff Box.
Shortly after the breaking out of the
French revolution, its advocates de
nounced our Premier as "an enemy to
the human race" that man, "so easy to
live with," who sung the song about him
self, called, "Billy Pitt, the Tory." His
secretary one day told him that a for
eigner, who spoke English tolerably
well, had twice or thrice asked to see
him, but not looking like a proper ap
plicant, had been sent away, the great
man's time being too precious for him to
admit every stranger who, on frivolous
pretexts, might seek to gratify an idle
curiosity. This person, however, had
said he should return in an hour; the
secretary, therefore, thought it his duty
to inform Mr. Pitt of such intention,
and asked his further orders in the
affair.
"Have the goodness," said the minis
ter, "to open the top left-hand drawer in
that cabinet, and bring me its contents."
These were a pair of pistols and a
morocco case; opening the latter he pro
duced a snuff box, in which was set a por
trait. "Is that like our visitor?" asked Pitt.
"It is the man, sir," answered the sec
retary. "Ha, I have expected' him for some
days; be is sent over to assassinate me;
so, when he calls again let him be shown
up.
"Sir!" exclaimed the attached re
tainer, "will you expose to danger your
life on which'so much depends?"
"There will be no danger, I thank
you; but you may be within call, if you
please."
Accordingly the Frenchman, on his
return, was ushered into the room
where William Pitt sat alone a loaded
pistol in one hand, the miniature in the
other.
"Monsieur Mehee de la Touche," said
Pitt, calmly, "you see I am in every way
prepared for you, thanks to an agent
employed by this government. Attempt
my life and your own instantly pays the
forfeit. In any case, I shall have you
secured and given over to the law."
The intended assassin stood paralyzed
and dumb at this cool reception.
"But," continued Pitt, "there is
another alternative personal safety and
high rewards are in your power. Sell
your services to Great Britain; make
your market of whatever secret informa
tion you can procure that may guard us
against the machinations of yoar coun
try; be, in fact, one of the necessary
evils which policy forces us to use in
desperate cases; do what no honorable
man could do to save yourself from
speedy death. Your conscience is
stained by proposed murder; con ply,
perchance, with these conditions and you
shall be as liberally paid as you must,
by all parties, be justly despised."
The clever miscreant joyfully accepted
these terms, and for many years earned
the bribes of a spy. Chamber's Journal.

I invite the sick, no matter bat thcirdiseases may
be, to call and investigate for themselves before aban
doning all hopes, for it will cost you nothing. I rive
no encouragement unless there is a fair prospect of
making a cure. I will eudeavor to be candid m my
opinion and reasonable in my chstxt s. I clabn not to
cure everybody, hut to cure all that can tie cured. I
have had twenty years' succestiful nractice in the
treutment of both acute and chroulc dlseawea. I havo
located in Portland, and all I ask Is thtat you give me a .
fair, unbiased trial, by which I hope to merit your con
tidence, and give entire Hatiufaciton to -all 'snilertaig
humanity. My reputation baa been acquired by beiiut -candid
with my patients, through j ears of successful'
p-actice, both in Kuroe and in this countr-, and
studiously keeping up with the aire. I know the cause
and remedy needed, not by guesswork, but by years
ef experience. . :
In my treatment of many diseases I make use of a
new method of cure. The treatment is simple and the
most feasible of alL There is no unpleasant seusatton.-wlmt-vcr

afflicted to visit and freely convince themselves, leav

incurable, and of years standing, yield to its ml.d bus
