CHAPTER LXXXUIL. | CAPTURING A COMANCHE. It

Tue savage did up without resistance. an Indiau is instinctive, wild animal. He flung his horse, and drawing his knife, a single cut severed the thong that bound | him.

In another instant he would have been off among the bushes, but before he could move from the spot, half a dozen strong arms were around him, and in spite of his aud the dangerous thrusts of | ' his long Spanish knife, he was ‘*choked ” down and held fast.

My followers were for making short | work with him. More than one had | bared their blades te finieh him uoon the | spot—and would san dove so had I not | interfered. I was averse to spilling his blood, and at my command, or entreatly, his life was spared.

To prevent him from giving us farther | trouble, however, we tied him to a tree, } in such a maover that he could not possi- bly free himself.

The mode of securing him was gested by Staufield. the Back woodsman. It was simple and A tree was chosen whose trunk was large enong) to

fill the embrace of the savage, so that the ends of his finger scarce met when

bis arms were drawn to their full stretch

around it ; apon his wrists thongs of raw

hide were firmly kno‘ted, and then tied together. His ankles were also bound

by similar cords, the ends of which were staked, so as to hioder him from worm- ing around the tree, aud perchance wear- | ing off his fastenings, or chafing them so they might break.

The ligature was perfect. The most expert jai!-breaker could not have freed himself from such a binding.

It was our intention to leave him thus, and perhaps set him free upoo oar returo, if we should returu by that way—a doubtful hypothesis.

I thought not at the time of the cruelly

we were committing. We had spared the Indian’s life—a mercy at the mo- ment, and [ was too much concerned

about the future of others to waste re- flection ov this. We had taken the pre- caution to place him at some distance from the trail. Others of his pariy might come atier aud discover him soon enough to interfere with our plans. His prison had been chosen far off in the depth of the woods. Even his could not have been heard by any passiug along the trail.

He was not to be left entirely alone. A horse was to be his companion —not his own, for one of the rangers had fancied an exchange. Stanfield, not well mounted proposed a * swap” as he jocosely term- ed it, to which the savage had no alter- native but cousent; and the Kentuckian, having ** hitched” his worn out vag to a tree, led off the skew bald mustasg 10

one

triumph, declaring that he was now *“squar wi’ the Indyens.’ Stanfield would have liked it better had the “swap” been made with the reuegade

who robbed him.

We were about to leave the place and move on, when a bright idea suddenly came into my head. It occurred to me that I too, might affect a profitable ex- change with our new made captive —a swap not of horses, but of mea—in short, an exchange of persons—of indeutities.

In tru h, a bright idea it was, and one that promised well.

I have saidthat I had already con- ceived a plan tor the rescue of my be-

trethed. I had done so during the night, andallaloug the route io my mind I had been maturing it.

The incident that had just transpired had given rise to a host of new ideas one above ali that promised to aid me in facili- tating the execution of my design. The capture of the savage, which had at first given me uneasiness, I now regarded in avery different light—as a “fortunate cirenmstance. I could not help thivk- ing that | recognized in it the finger of Providence, aud the thought iospired me with hepe. I felt that 1 was net for- saken,

The plan I had proposed to myself was simple enonzh. It would require more of courage than stratagem ; but to the former I was sufliciently nerved by the desperate circumstances tn which we had become involved. I proposed to enter the lndian camp in the night—ot course by stealth and under cover of darkness—to find the captive, set her limbs free, aud then trust to chauce for the after escapo of both of us.

If once inside the encampment, and within reach of her, a sudden coup might accomplish all this. Success was not beyoud possibility, nor probability neither —aud the circumstances admitted of no plan that promised so fairly.

Wrinkles in Starching and Iron- ing.

Haviug had expel ience

ried many diferent ways, 1 will tell you During the cold season, thus :—Monday eveving.(if ‘the clothes are dry), 1 take a quart howl, putin my starch, fillup with tepid water until about two-thirds full. I han see that the starch is dissolved ithoroughly by a little stirring. I com- mence by starching collars and cutis, ‘then the white shirts, and lastly the colored ones. Roll each shirt up sep- arately, and collars and cults in atowel and piace them in the basket with the rest ef the clothes. Tuesday morning as soon as | van, I go ubout the ironing. Afterhaving ironed a while, which seems to smooth the iron after standiag a week, I take a bowl of tepid water,

and as I take each shirt from the basket to iron, (I dip the bosom into

the water te rinse off the starch that Is

to be seen on the surface. After hav- ing ironed the sleeves, the body of the shirt, and the neck band, (l place the

bosom-board, spread a cloth over the bosom, take a bot flutand iron briskly two or three times, then remove the cleth and iron until dried through as quickly as possible, and bang out singly by the stove.

in the summer, when starched clothes

ow limp by prespiestion, I manage a itt! lo ditferently. In the first place I ake in the clothes as as they are

Phrases About Women.

(From the Parisian.)

Wrinkles disfigare a woman less than ill-nature.—Dupuy.

Woman is an idol that man worships, until he throws it down. Women are always ; when earth ships from them, they take refuge in heaven The whisper of a beautiful woman. can be heard further than the loudest eall ef duty.

There is no torture that a woman would not sutier to enhance her beauty.

— Montaigne. Of all chings that man _ possesses, women alone tuke pleasure in being

possessed.—Mat!herbe.

Before promising a weman to love only her, One should have seen them ail, or should see only her.—A. Dupuy.

We censure the inconstancy of women-when we are the victims; we find iteharming when we are the ob- jects. —L. Desnoyers.

The highest mark of esteem a woman can giveaman is to ask his friendship ; and the most signal proof of her indifference is to offer him hers.

At twenty, a man is less a lover of woman than of women; he is more in leve with the sex than with the indivi- dual, however charming she may be.— Retif de la Breionne.

Men areso fearful of wounding a woman's vanity that they rarely re- member that she may by some _ possi- bility possess a grain ef common senee, — Miss Braddeo.

Women among savages is a beast of burden ; in Asia she is a piece of furni- ture; in Europe she is a spoiled child. Senuc de Meilhan.

A Rapssit Doa.—A very indignant man marched up to a neighber’s house and exclaimed :—

‘‘ Here, Tom, you rascal, here’s your

dog; I'll trouble you to give me back the V I gave you ‘for it. “What's the matter with the deg?”

said ‘Tom, calm and unrufiled.

‘* You warranted him to hunt rabbits didn’t you?”

“ And doesn’t he?”

“ No; he isn’t worth anything atit,” replied the visitor.

“Have you tried the dog?’

“Ceriaisly I have, and he’s a downright swindle. ”

** How were the rabbits cooked?”

“Cooked?”

“Yes. Were they boiled?”

‘Of course not.”

“ Did you roast them?”

“Why, you old idiot, ulive—wild rabbits.”’

** Oh, that makes all the difference,”’ said Tom. ‘* 1 thought there was symethiag wrong. You cook the rab- bits and give the dog half a chance, and thea you'll see bow he'll hunt for them.”

C.S., F. 1. C. E., showed that Bray’s Burner’s yielded the greatest amount of light of all the two or three score of Burners reported upon. which included all he Burners of repute in the market.

Ia a pampi.Jet upon Light and Heat, pub- | lished by R. B. Taver, A. M., he says: “ The | cost of Gas as comp ared with other illumin- | ants is much more economical when rightly

used, than many suppose, From experiments made for this purpose, the following resulte i|have been obtained, They were made by urning sauples of Devoe’s Brilliant Oil ane ordinary Oils, and testing their illuminating power, It was found that Coa! Gas costing

ue cent at $3 per thousand feet, gave a light equal to 18 candles, while Devoe’s Brilliant Oil consuming 27.4 grammes Ccost- ing halfa cent, gave a light equal to 9 candles,

“A good Argand or Johnson’s Burner, the Burner’s used in the Jast experiment, will therefore give the light of 2 ordinary Oil Burners in direct comparison, at no greater expense in the cas: of the finer and safer yrades of Oil. Lights,however, on the author- ity of Scientists, are not to be compared in direct proportion, but in proportion to the equares of their powers, and such a com- parison with the case of the use of Gas, its cleanliness, freedom from odor and dangers, renders its use desirable wherever it can be introduced,”

As the above experiments were made with Gas at $3 per 1000 feet, end bem consumed through Bray’ 3 Burners, it will readily be seen how wuch more sctedetcal it is to con- sume Gas instead of Oil, when its price is only $2.63 per 10:0 feet as now charged here when consumed, more especially through Brey’s Burners.

Messrs, Goodwin & Co., of Philadelphia, the well-known manufacturers of Scientific in- struments for testing the illuminating power of Coal Gas, etc., say in their Circular to Gas Companies : “In presenting the Bray’s Stapd- ard Patent Slit Union Burners and Lanterns, for which we are the sole Agents in the United states, to the attention of the public, we are convinced that we are filling a want long felt.’ They further add; ** The yield ot light from these Burners is 12 to 20 per cent, greater per cabic foot of Gas consumed than that from any flat flame Burner hitherto in- troduced, {no 4 eod

1882.

To the Electors of the Second District of King’s County.

G = NTLEMEN,—tThe first act of the

present Government on assuming the adminstration of aflairs was to appeal to the Electorate of the Province fer an in- dorsation of the persownel and policy of the

Ministry. A programme was then for- mulated, which received the cordial ap- proval of the people, and to which the

Government have faithfully adhered

The usual number of legislative sessions constituting a General Assembly, having terminated, the Government take the earliest op; ortunity of again consuliing the constituene es, and of soliciting at the polis aw renewal of public coufidence.

On assuming oflice, the ministry found that the recklessness and extravagance of their immediate predecessors hed resulted in imposing upon Province a large amount of indebtedness. By amaigamat- ing some of the Departments, reducing the officials, diminishing the cost of legislation of administration, as well as b, improved tmanagement in every branch of the public service, the Gov erniment have enabled to remove the legacy of debt bequeathed to them by their opponents, and there is pow a con- siderable surplas to the credit of the Pro- vince. In view of this state of things, and knowing that they shall have sufficient revenue, for some time to come, to meet

} Loe

galaries of wr

been

the public requirements and amply provide for ieee interest, the Adniunistration, in pursuance of their policy of lightening the burdens of the people, have felt justified

in repealing the Assessment Act. The Government have, by every means in

their power, fostered agriculiure and stock-

raising, as the leading indusiries of the Proviuce, and they intend to continne increased encouragement in the same

direction.

It is much to be regretted that the measures framed by the Ministry for the abolition of the Legislative Council, failed to meet the approval of a majority of that body. The Government have done every- thing they could accomplish to give effect to the wishes of the people as expressed at the last Generai Election ; and it is their in tention to submit to the Legislaturenext Scs- sion measures providing for the constitution of one legislative body, and otherwise calculated to reduce the cost of legisiation.

The Minisiry are now engaged in endeav. oring to secure for this Province a portion of the » Fishery Award, with other compen- e ee respecting the use of our fisheries by

sited States’ citizens, and the business g ball be diligently prosecuted to its ter- riinatien.

The attention of the Dominion Govern- ment has been called to the failure of Canada to carry out the Terms of Confed- eration with this Province, by providing efficient communication, winter and summer, between the Island and the msin land. The question is now under the consideration of the Prnvy Council, and it

steam

will be the duty of the Provincial Admin- istration to adopt such mexsures as shal] secre to Prince F Edward Isla es compete

and catisfactory fulfilment of the Sertes of Union.

On the subjects to which i have alluded, as well as on ali other public questions, the policy which the Government submitted to the people at the last general election, remains unchanged, and shall be pursued.

During the term of office of the present Ministry, the blessings of contentment, happiness ard peace have prev ated through- out the Province, and it is the desire and determination of the Government to con- tribute towards a continuance of this pleas- ing state of things, by the practice of economy and retrenchment in every de partment, and by an honest and faithful administration of public affairs.

I have the huenor to be, Your obedient servant, W. W. SULLIVAN.

¥ ENTLEMEN,—I have been requested by

a number of the Electors of this District

to offer myself as a candidaie for your suf-

frages at the coming Election for the Local

Legislature in opposition to pominees of the

present Government, and have accepted the nomination

The most important question at present affecting your iuterests, and the interests of the whole Island, is that of the proper prose- cution of our undoubtedly just claim to a share of the Fishery Awa:d, In my opinion the Government heve not taken adequate measures to press our demand, If elected I shall use every constitutional means to ob- tain a proper recognition of our rights on this question,

Wiih regard to the administration of the finances of this Province, my views are that the strictest economy should be practised ia every department, but at the same time due regard should be hed to the efficiency ofall branches of the public services,

Another question which must soon be settled is thet of the reduction of the now excessive cost of legislation, and, if elected by you, my best efforts will be directed to- wards ¢fiecting such a reform as will best check the lavish expenditure in this respect,

Owing to the suddennes with which this Election has been forced upon the country, it will be impossible for me to make a thorough personal canvass of the City and Royalty, and I therefore take this means o asking you for your votes
