Another man killed!" exclaimed Captain Duval. "The devil take those Mexican brigands. Why their mode of warfare is worse than anything I ever saw in Algiers!" Captain Duval had won a medal as a gallant officer in the foreign legion, and liad been transferred at his own request to Bazaine's command in Mexico. But in this new field of service he had won few laurels. Maximilian's ill-starred reign was nearing its end, (and Captain Duval found himself fighting against overwhelming odds. What galled the chivalric Frenchman more than anything else was the fact that this military education was worth little to him in this semi-barbarous land, where the people resorted to a bush whacking warfare. On this scouting ex pedition into Sonera he had lost half of his men without once seeing the enemy. On the march, and around the camp-lire at night, the soldiers were picked off one by one by unseen sharpshooters, who seemed to defy discovery and pursuit. And now another man had been killed. What was to be done ? ".Send Corporal John to me," said the captain, coming to the door of his tent. In a few moments Corporal John ap peared. He was a stalwart young fellow, with an honest American face. His soldierly bearing was that of a veteran. Although a mere youth, he had been trained in war's roughest school. At the downfall of the confederacy he had made bis way across the Rio Grande, still wearing His faded gray jacket, and had joined Maximilian's army. Corporal John wore his French uni form gracefully, but the lingo of his comrades was too much for him, and this made him a little uneasy in the presence of his captain. "My American friend," said Duval, "you have fought bushwhackers?" "Yes, eaptain." "And sharpshooters?" "Yes, captain." "And brigands?" "Yes, Captain." "And all sorts of devils, I doubt not. Well, then, Corporal John, what did you do with them when vou caught them?" "Click!" This significant sound, made by a pe culiar workidg of the corporal's mouth, arrested the Frenchman's attention. "Good!" lie ejaculated. "You shoot them on the spot?" "We led them out in the bushes," said the corporal, "and lost them. And they were never found again. Click!" "Very well," said Duval, with a satis fied look. "On the principle of setting a thief to catch a thief, I propose to turn these assassins over to you. On the march to-morrow take a few picked men and watch every suspicious place. If you find any human being in ambush with arms in his bands, shoot him. If the case calls for investigation, it will be looked into later. Our first duty is self preservation." "It shall be done," replied Corporal John, as he retired. It was nearly sundown the next day ' when Corporal John and two cf his men -plunged into a dense and tangled thicket, a little off their line of march. The cor poral was sure he had seen something run to cover and he found he was not mistaken. But this prisoner, with his arm around - the neck of his little mustang, was no or dinary bushwhacker. When the two twldiers seized him, Corporal John saw before him a boy of about 18, a hand eorne, spirited-looking youngster, in citi xen's dress and armed with a light rifle. 'Trembling and flushing by turns, the prisoner flashed his black eyes defiantly, and cried out : "Unhand me, senors ! I will not sub mit to this outrage." He spoke in Spanish, and the corporal understood the language much better than he did French. "Who are you, and what are you do ing here?" he asked sternly. The little Mexican drew himself up haughtily. "It is no crime to hunt," he replied, "I am not a soldier. Hee, I wear no uni--form. Why am I treated in this way? Restore my rifle and my mustang and let me proceed on my way." It was a wonderfully sweet voice and it had an imperious ring in it. Corporal John wavered a moment, but one of the men spoke up : "A cursed brigand and caught with arms in his hands in ambush, liemein ier the captain's orders." "I will take him down to the river and finish him myself," said the corporal, grimly. "I can't take two from the road at present. Keep your eyes open." There was a protest from the others, "Tratthe corporal silenced them. "I won't have any useless noise," he explained. "I'll take him to the river, cut his throat and throw him in. That will be the safest plan." Tying the hands of the prisoners he Ted him through the thick undergrowth down to the muddy stream a hundred yards from the road. 0 "Senor." Corporal John looked down relent lessly into the youthful face. "Well," he answered gruffly. "Henor, this is a brave deed for a soldier, to murder an unarmed prisoner." "You and your friemln have been mur dering our men," replied the corporal, "and we must get even and set an ex ample." "Senor, let me speak. Less than a month ago a band oi your soldiers burned oar haciends. They stabbed my fattier, a harmless old man, with their bayonet, until he was dead. My mother fled into the swamps, where she died of fright and exposure. Well, I tell the truth. Since then my brother and I have been with the guerrillas, and we have done some good work. Do you blame me?" Corporal John thought of a similar ex perience in his own case, when he was fighting for the confederacy. "No, I don't" he blurted out; "but I don't know whether you are telling the truth or a lie. I must obey orders." "But, senor, would you kill a woman a girl?" "Senorita," stammered the rough soldier, "I am sorry that you are in this trouble. You may rest assured, how ever, that I am not going to kill vou." "1 knew it!" and the girl smiled tri umphantly. "But you ought to be sent to head quarters." "And would mv life be safe there?" "No, I don't believe it would," was the corporal s thoughtful replv. "Then set me free!" "Hev?" "Set me free!" "Hang me if I don't !" said the cor poral. "Whv, of course I will." He cut the prisoner's bonds and gave an inquiring look. "It is all right," responded the seno rita. "The stream is not so deep at this point. 1 am going to ford it, and on the other side of yonder hill my brother and his companions await me. When vou return to your comrades, tell them that you did your duty. God bless you, senor, and farewell. Befere he could speak the senorita was half-way across the river. As she disap peared in the forest on the other side she waved her hand, and the corporal heart ily responded. "I am a ereat fool to fiirht a duel." said John Conway, as he finished his toilet and viewed his face in the glass "but when a fellow is in Paris he must do as the Parisians do." Conway gave an extra twist to his mustache, and continued talking to him self: "It is strange. I fought through our war and was mixed up in the Maxim ilian business. I have done my share of shooting and being shot at, hut I never yet stood up in cold blood to exchange shots with a man. I don't like it." So many years had elapsed since Con way's military experience that the pros pect of a fight no longer stirred his blood. He was not an old man, but the fiery ardor of youth was a thing of the past. After years of adventurous speculation in the mining regions of the west, fortune had favored him, and for the first time in his life he was realizing one of the dreams of his youth, a visit to Paris. Unfortunately, he had been drawn into a political controversy in a cafe with a member of the Mexican Legation, Senor Gomez, a gentleman whose great wealth and beautiful wife were at that time the talk of Paris. In the heat of the discussion Conway had given mortal offense to the Mexican. The result was a challenge, and the American had ac cepted, selecting pistols and fixing the hour for 5 o'clock that afternoon, the place chosen being a suburban forest, notorious for its affairs of honor. While the American was wondering whether he had sulhcient appetite for breakfast, there was a tap at his door. Opening it he saw to his surprise Senor Gomez, who advanced into the room with a grave countenance, in which vari ous emotions were struggling for ex pression. John Conway involuntarily 'fell back in amazement at beholding this unex pected visitor. "Senor Conway," said Gomeze, "this visit under the circumstances is unheard of. It is irregular, but you Americans are always prepared fof the unexpected. I am here, Senor, to apologize lor my conduct, and to withdraw my challenge. I deeply regret my offensive language and hasten to retract it. It is my pur pose to inform the gentlemen, who know something of the affair between us, that we have no quarrel, and that I regard you as one of the bravest and noblest of men." Conway looked into the Mexican's eyes and saw sincerity there. "Senor Gomez," he said, "I am at a loss to understand all this." "Listen!" exclaimed the other im patiently. "Iast night at the opera my wife saw a face that recalled the greatest peril of her life. She studied it through tier glass and became convinced that she was right. When she met me at our ho tel, after ray return from the cafe where we had our unfortunate difference, she told tan all and begged me to search out her preservnr. So, corporal John, I thank you in the name of my wife." Then seeing that the American was more mystified than1 ever, Gomez con tinued : "Have you forgotten your capture of a young Mexican in Sonora when you were with Bazaine ? Instead of obeying orders and executing the prisoner, her sex and her wrongs excited your sympa thy and you released her." "It all comes hack to me," said Con way, excitedly. "Yes, it is ini))ossible for me to forget it. And the senorita made good her escape and is now your wife? You are to be congratulated, Senor, upon securing such a heroine." The two were now unconsciously clasi ing hands. "You see that we cannot fight," laughed Gomez, with a tear in his eye. "Ridiculous," said Conway. "Very well," remarked the other. "I take it for granted I may tell the senora" that you will spend the evening with us. You cannot refuse." Corporal John did not refuse, hut when the brilliant Mexican beauty overwhelm ed him that evening with her thanks he grew very thoughtful. When his visit was over and he was on his way home ward the American several times broke out with : "Confound it all, when she was my prisoner why the devil didn't I keep her?" And yet Corporal John was not alto gether unhappy. fAtlauta, Ga., Con stitution.

Washington, D. C, March 1. Ed. Statbbman: To the philosophic individual, nothing is more amusing than the efforts of the avemge Waahing tonian in behalf of a good time. And though their "decollity" dresses are con ducive of bad morals and typhoid-pneumonia, the "sessiety" shakes hands and grins after the approved fashion. The fact that many Washington "banquets are spiced with the dust of death" does not seem to deter the people from their feasts. The festivities of one young lady, who was visiting the capital, began with Senator Logan's funeral and closed with (hat of Mrs. Yoorhees, and yet she had a "perfectly lovely" time.. Senator Dawes, who is an enthusiast on the Indian ques tion, must have been a good deal dis gusted at ttie fact that a delegation of Sacs, Foxes, and Choctaws visited "Gro ver," and others, to oppose the land-in-severalty bill. Some of the department clerks seemed a good deal astonished at the Indian costume, but I doubt if any one was half so surprised as the Indians were themselves. A "Siwash" in war paint and feathers is a valuable partisan for the sagacious stockman. Mr. H. H. Gilfry maintains his even and philosophic way, undtsturbedjhy the tocsins of Senator Ingalls, or the war whoops of Canada. Judge Lamon, formerly well known in Salem; is a tine, dignified gentleman of unusual discrimination unit rare judicial ability. Miss Mitchell, daughter of Senator Mitchell, is one of the most popular young ladies in the "court circle." It is rattier pleasing to see mossy Oregon rej resented by one of the ablest men in the senate, when older states send "potent, grave, and reverend seniors" who wear swallow-tail coats to breakfast, and, like Wordsworth's "little maid," have a "rus tic woodland air" and frequently arts "wildly clad." Senator Kvarts is a thin, distinguished looking man, whose none and chin meet, and who fully believes in the riaht of a congressman to practice in the supreme court. It was very droll to hear the dis cussion between him and "the gentleman from Mississippi" upon ttie subject. The last named person, arrayed in snuff colored clothes, and adorned with a shaggy head and whiskers, suggested a common "yaller pup" holding his right ful bone against the attacks of a delicate thoroughbred greyhound. I heard a "cuttin' " remark the other day about a very decollete society lady. Stie was "receiving'' and her little six year old cousin had called with his "ma." As they were going out, he whiftiiered "Muzzer, cousin Mamie is bu'erful, but she's forgot the waist-part of tier dress"! I went through the treasury building the ether day, and saw where old bills are .returned to pulp by a cutting and grinding process. The characters of some of the women and men come out eventually in a good deal the same con dition. A very clever take-off on Washington "sessiety" is the experience of ".ledge Waxem, the member from Wayback." People don't go to the opera here to hear the music but to wear low-necked dresses. One youth during the overture of the "Flying Dutchman" counted 471 freckles on a pair of shoulders in front of him. It is a great thing to live in a place where the women are so "decol lity." Still Boston has its advantages. Kay. THE BIG GOLD NUGGETS. Louis Blanding says the generally ac cepted statement that the largest nugget ever found in California was worth a lit tle more than $Ul,0OO is an erroneous one. lie says that J. J. Finney, "Old Virginia," found a piece of gold about six miles from Downieville, Sierra county, on Aug. 21, lSSo, that weighed 5,000 ounces, lhe gold of that vicinity was worth $18 per ounce, which would make the value of the nugttet i?!)0,OOO. This would make the Finney nugget ttie largest piece of pure gold ever discovered, so far as accounts go. Heretofore ttie .Australian nugget, found in the Ballarat gold fields, has been considered the largest. It was valued at $150,000. Fin ney, or, "Old Virginia," as he was familiarly called in those days, after wards went to Washoe when the great silver discoveries were made there and from him the town of Virginia City took its name. The man who discovered the largest nugget in the California' mines and gave his name lo the richest mining camp in the world died in extreme pov erty. Grass Valley (Cal.) Union. PAYING OFF A BILL. A woman who was owing her grocer $16 was at the Third street depot yester day to take a train out of town. He heard that she was going away and made all haste down there to try and collect ttie bill. He found her calmly waiting on a seat and approached her in a quiet manner. "I shan't pay!" she boldly replied. "But madam, you had the goods." "That doesn't make any difference." "I don't like to proceed to extreme measures, madam." "Now, look here!" she said, as she wheeled around at him, "if you i n't get up and skip I'll call out that you are my divorced husband and trying to rob trie of part of my money! There are 200 people in this room and a policeman at the door, and there is a rexjrter talking to the ticket agent. Just imagine the sensation !" "I can, madam." "Arid you want those sixteen dollars?" "Oh, no, madam. I'll be only tooliati py to make you a present of the bill. Wish you a happy journey, and if you stiould return to Detroit please favor me with your patronage. Good-day, mad am." Detroit Free Press.

"How many men in jail to-day?" we thus to the sheriff said, and he turned to his book with a trouble! look and a shake of liiB manly lietad. "There's thirty-five, if they're allalive, down there (or various crimen, and some for murder, and some fur rax, but moot for begging dimes. There's Richard Iioe and John ny Doe, too numerous to name. There's Hob O'llafl'erty, Tim MuCaHerty, besides old Jim MeOune ; and lotw of bums from all the slums of Colton, far away, who come bv stealth to this land of wealth, from tlie city on the hay. And everv cell, the tanks aa well, are crowded full of men ; and when they go, we treat them no, they come rifclit back again, And every day, do all they may, it gets no better fast; for all our work they firmly shirk, and the trouble's growing vast when our wine men meet in their pen, and give us leave to do it, we'll make them moil, we'll make them toil, or else we'll make them rue it. We'll make them rue it. We'll tie them to a bull and chain, and put them on ttie street, and then aa sure as you're born, they'll work or get nothiiifj to eat!" llere the sheriff's emotion overcame him, and h subsided into a congress chair.
