with a cool, ttbfcff veranda, a long, low
front, painted «•Ik.tul bttiaad win.
dows, a «pacióos cojífrt, añil a flat roof
provided with a parapet which gave
the strnctnre the semblance of a fort.
Many acres of cultivated land showed
long lines of sngur-cane and tall trees
laden with liananos. in surprising con-
trast to the dark impenetrable mass of
wild bush land which snrronnded the
settlement in the fnrther distance.
Señora Diaz was one of the tropical
beauties of whom Morillo dreamed.
"I am going to test your gallantry,"
she said, coming out on the veranda
where I sat, "by asking you to help me
water my flowers, for, with my lame
hand, it is not easy for me to lift the
heavy watering pot."
"I am at your service, but allow me
—am I wrong?—to remind you that
you promised me the story of how
vour hand was lamed."
"Certainly. As soon a" the flowers
are watered we will have coffee on the
veranda, and von shall hear fell aliont
it."
Accordingly, I was shortly sip-
ping coffee with the little Lolita, my
host's only daughter and my pet, beside
in , while her mother rolled a cigarette,
lighted it, and liegan as follows:
"When flrst we can.e here, years ago,
it was a different looking.place. The
wild bnsli land reached the edge of tho
water, and was such a dark wilderness
of thorns, liraiatles, ptlms, wild fig
trees and other vegetation that I did
not dare ventnre in its depths. But
my husland and his workmen went
manfully to work, felled trees, uproot-
ed stnm)w, made hedges and ditches, all
day long, except in the severe d. heat,
and I '..ave often seen them vtfmc home
so wearied that they would fall asleep
where they Btood, anil first think of
food three or four himrs later when
they awoke!"
"After a while we got a portion of
the ground under subjection, but after
the, ocrea were cleared, and we began
to plant, we had a throng of foes to
CQQibat. The , worst were the ants,
of making underground passages nntiT
they undermine t'm -k.t ——
field, anil it fulL in like the crusf of a
cake. Just north of ns i a jery large
gap in the ground, full of bushes and
wild graos, with here and there some
rotten timber, where a whole settle-
ment snnk from the ants nndesmininir
the foundations. From this comes the
saying we have in Paraguay that our
worst enemies are the Indian hraves
and the Indian ants."
"Luckily, tho only Indians were
friendly ones,.who exchanged all kinds
of provisions, esjiecially dried meats,
for knives and brandy. We poisoned
the ants, dug up their nests, flooded
their passage ways with toiling water,
and, so in a great measure, were free
from them although thev now soue-
tinies come from the woods to at-
tack the plantation."
"Hut after them cjuno another plague
—snakes. For a lonff time I thought
it was hopeless. My hnsliand used to
call tliem tax collectors, and they did
come just as regularly. No day passed
without our finding one or more in the
honse. And once—Oh, heaven! what
a fright I had! When Lolita was a ba-
by my iiusband aud his men had goue
off one morning to their labor as nsual,
and the child was asleep on a mat at
the end of the room. Suddenly I saw
on the floor the skin of a mouse from
which the whole body had lieen drawn
as from an orange. 1 knew at once that
a reptile mnst lie near, for they feed on
mice and eat them in this manner; bnt,
as much as I searched around I could
not find it, till all at once it occurred
to me, perhaps it was under the baby's
mat. 1 snatched the child np and
placed Iter in safety, then I softly lifted
a part of the mat, there it was, the
long, slimy green and gold reptile, coil-
ed up and fast asleep. Ah how I jumped!
I ran out in the court to call help. For-
tunately onr man Jose was there and he
killed it. But as we cleared more acres
they left ns to lude in the forest. I
bogan to hope our carea were ended,
lrat theywere only just begnn. Wild
beasts now first appeared on the scene.
"One morning just ai we were eating,
one of our herdsmen brought the news
that onr cattle, which had grazed la
the tall graaa on the other side of the
river, had lieen pounced upon by a ja-
guar, that had killed one of the balls.
The man who told ns escaped with his
life, yet he would hnve scarcely done
no had he not misled the beaat, or had
there not been a fat ox there.
"Several days passed without a new
alarm, when suddenly three or foUr
Indians rushed to tell ns how a great
jaguar had ran into their camp, and
killed a woman and (me of their di
When my husland heard the story

husband called his people together to
go out «ad hunt it.
"I remember that
They went away
each man with his gun and huntiñg-
knife, and Moro, the bloodhound, was
with them. My husband tamed around
just as ha entered the wood «ad kissed
ids hand to Me. Then they vanished
in the forest.
When I found myself with Lolita
and thought ^ what

Anxious and nervous an awasj started
np with a cry, although I had no pre-
sentiment what it was. The next mo-
ment I heard ii
which-1 could
passionate roar, that I often heard
from the woods at night, and never
without feeling as if my heart stood
still. The thought rushed through my
mind, 'O heaven, tho jaguar P
"I shall never forget that moment.
One minute I was quite rigid and help-
less, as if life had departed, and then a
thought fUsh.d upon me—the jaguar
was not to lie kepUoff if he penetrated
here through the roof, for the moat of
the inner doorways had only drapperies.
In my dininng-room was a great wood-
en meal-chest, nearly empty, and large
enough to hold six or seven persons at
once. If Lolita and I can get there,
thought L we are saved.
"I seised the child, ran with her into
tho dining-room and crept into the
chest. Unfortunately, it liada spring
lock, so that 1 was forced to hold the
lid op,-.n. with my left hand to guard
against its locking and immediately
stifling us; but it had more than an
inch of outer rim, which completely
hid my fingers.
"I was not a moment too soon. We
were scarcely hidden when I heard the
great claws scratching along the floor,
and the hungry sniffling of the jaguar
Hhowed me that he was in search of
food. He come straight to the chest,
and paused a moment, as if he feared a
trap. Then he put his head close to
the small opening, so that I could feel
liis hot breath. He sniffed a while. ""1
then trio<l to raise the lid with his paw.
"How I trembled! Bit the great
paw would not go in the narrow crevice,
and I hold the cover fast by clinging
to the inner part of the fastening with
all tho strength of despeaation. All he
eonld do was to stretch out his tongue
and lick njy fingers until they b'ed, as
if they had been, scratched by a saw.
Anil then as lie tuxtcd blood, and heard
Lolita cry—for my po r darling was
just as frightened as I was—his eager-
ness increased, and he begaiv to make
piercing yells, which sent icy chills
over me.
"I wonder that I didn't die with the
fright; bnt the touch of Lolita's little
arm around me seemed to keep up "my
courage.
"Still, the worst was yet to oome.
When the jaguar fonnd that ho could
not reach me from below he sprang
upon the chest. Bis hnge weight
crushed my fingers between the two
parts of the lock. Then I thought all
was over and shrioked so that it ran
through tho whole house.
"But my cries were answered by a
sonnil which made my heart throb with
joy—answered by the baying of our
bloodhound. The jaguar heard it, too,
for lie sprang down, and stood a mo-
ment listeniug, and then ran to the
doors as if to flee.
"Again came the sound of the dog's
hark—this time nearer—and at the
same time voices of men calling to
each other. Contrary to expectation,
tliey were already returning. Mean-
while the jaguar seemed to lie bewilder-
ed, and ran wildly to and fro. Sud-
denly a loud cry came from one of the
windows, and then two shots and a
fearful howl; then my husband's voice
auxiensly called:
" 'Cachito, where are you ?"
"I could just get out of the chest,
drag myself to the door, and let my hus
band in.Then I swooned away.
"They told me afterward that our
bloodhound found the jaguar's trail
leading straight buck to the house, and
they all hurried home, fearing that
harm would come to me.
- *Mv husband and Jose came ahead,

"I could not move a joint of the
hand until long afterwards. The In-
dians gave me medicine to heal it, and
they say that after awhile I can use it
again. I did no^ need this injury to
make me rememlicr that day. If I
were to live a thousand years I could
not forget tho terrible moments I spent
in "that chest."

It is evening, and the landscape
Rtretches out before one in virgin love-
liness. The snn god, ere ho liids adieu
to this scene, kisses the sinuous bayous
and streaks their mirrored tops with
silver, brightens up the moss that
streams from the heads and limbs of
trees, and throws one blood red gleam
through vistas of evergreeu dying
away into blue dreaminess. Then the
twilight comes on, and soon the pale
creeeent flings ita mystic beams upon
the earth. The giant oaks, bedecked
with moss, seem to assume fantastic
shapes. They create suggestions of
gibbets and otfprpses, of rotting rig-
ging and of the tottered sails of ships
drifting to the unknown shore. How
Dore could have painted every form,
of goblincy, every fancy of ghostliness,
every grimness of witchcraft, -«(very
horror of death suggested by them!

Saturday afternoon Colonel Jack
Haya, the Texan ranger, died at hie
residence near Piedmont He had been
for a long while, and his death
not unexpected. Colonel John
Coffer Hays was a native of Wilson
county, Ten ., where be waa born in
1S17. He was Iwed on a farm but at
the early age of 18 years he struck out
for Texas ami enlisted under General
Sam Houston. When Texas was made
independent by Houston, the rangers
were organised. Afterward when the
state wai admitted to the Union, a
small regular army was organized from
this well-tried land, and ColonelJSays
was placed in command. At the out-
break of the Mexiean war he led the
rangers, who did very effective work,
especially at the battle of Monterey.
When the war ended with the surren-
der of the Mexican commander, Gener-
al Santa Anna, the latter was intrusted
to the charge of Colonel Hays. The
California gold fever followed hard
upon the close of tho Mexican war, and
Colonel Hays was one of the first to set
hi? face toward the promised land of
fortune. He reached San Francisco in
1849, and was at once nominated by the
people's party as the flrst sheriff of the
young city. His reputation in Texas
stood him in good stead, and he was
elected by a large majority and served
for four years. After retiring from the
office he bought, with others, a large
tract of land, on which Oaklsnd now
stands. He had great faith in the fu-
ture city which would be established on
the eastern shore of the bay, and he
proceeded with Caperton,his partner,
to map out the site of the city of Oak-
land and to dispose of many of the
town lots. President Pierce, in 1863,
appointed Colonel Hayes United States
surveyor-general: For many years he
has lived with his family on a farm near
Piedmont. He has been actively en-
gaged in business in Oakland, and has
been a prominent democrat. In person
he waa of slender figure and medium
height, and his appearance gave little
indications of the adventurous life he
)iad led.—Sacramento Union.
Seeing a Battle-Field.
frruna tbeDet oit Ktm-Pnm,
He was from Syracuse, and he said
he'd give almost anything to see a
battle-field. It was therefore arranged
that we should go up to Fort Pillow in
company. I never saw such an enthu-
siast on the subject of war and fields
of carnage. He went out and bought
three war histories before we left
Memphis, and on the way up he talked
war to every man who would listen to
him. I warned him not to expect to
see too ninch, and not to be disappoint-
ed if Greeley, Heodley and Abliott had
made some errors in describing the lay
of fields which none of them had seen
within 000 miles.
Of conrse not," he replied. "I
don't expect to see more than a fort,
five or six bursted cannon, a few skull,
half a dozen cannon-wheels and a lot
of musket barrels. I shall bring, away
about a dozen swords and revolvers as
relics, and I wonder what it would cost
to get one of the old cannon up to
Syracuse ?"
When the boat swung in at Fort
Pillow I saw my friend's chin begin to
fall. The landing was a steep slide for
a distance of a hundred feet, and the
mud was a foot deep. We dropped off
the gang-plank, and the steamer went
her way.
"W-what's this?" inquired the
Syracuse man as he looked up the
grade.
"This is a historic bluff. Prepare to
see a battle-field."
We tugged and strained and swore,
button cfow¿ *
"Now, then," said I, after we had
scraped off a part of our loads, "over
there is the fort. Yon- can see where
all the big guns were mounted.
After it mnst be the citadel. Over tq
the right is the 'ravine up which For-
rest's men advanced, and—"
"See here,' interrupted the gentle-
man from New York, "do you call this
a battle-field?'
"Certainly."
- "This infernal sand—those thickets
—that swamp—them two nigger cabins
are a battle-field, eh V
"Of course."
"Well, sir, it's on infernal fraud—a
dead swindle on Ijonest men, and I've
a good mind to punch yonr head for
bringing me up here! Battle-field, t>h!
Why, sir if I couldn't take ten acres of
Northern tamarack swamp and make a
a better battle-field than this Pd never
look a decent man in the face again I
Go on with yon! Yon are a liar and a
deceiver 1"
And he went off and sat down on 'a
log and snlked and growled and
grumbled for six long lionra, and when'
I showed him bullets and breast-plates
and otli?r relics, he charged me with
having brought them np from Memphis

which he had lived alone for many long
years was locked np by his executor.
Not long after the old man's í ~
executor fonnd $600 in cash
was known the old man had,
ed everything oat of the hoi
an old cupboard that stood in a
of the room. As it was-not in II
and was not a bad-looking ptote
furniture, it was permitted to ftaúia! „
undisturbed. The house was reatad to ly_
a family who moved into it tost week,! ^
and to whom the golden secret of the ¡
old cupboard was unexpectedly reveal-
ed. The wife did not like the" looks of
the old cupboard and proposed to her
husband that they should move it to
another part of the room. Ihis
husband consented to, and thecu
accordingly moved ont of the
where it had remained for perh
a quarter of a century. As it '
moved away a small tin box, such
business men use to keep papers in, was
fouad on the floor covered with dust.
The man gave it a kick and was sur-
prised to find that it waa z
move, and on pioking it up i
surprised at its weight. A

Milwaukee, Wis., April, 20.—-Mr. L.
B. Benton, of this city, of the Arm of
Benton,-Waldo & Co., type founders,,
to-day inadsr public an invention of his
own at which he has' been at work for
two years, which promises to complete-
ly revolutionise the type-setting bosi-
Among printers here to-day the
report of the invention lias aroused a
great deal of interest. Tho invention
is the producing of a self-spacing type,
which will not only facilitate all kind* .
of composition, bnt will make correct"
spacing in all kinds of work. Exper-
iments made with a number of compoe-
itors show that they can set np as much
matter in seven and a half hqurs an can
be set in ten with common type. In
other words the invention will at the
start reduce the cost of composition 25
per cent. The principal of the inven-
tion is this: Every character in the
alphabet in each of the different fonts
is made on a body which is a' certain
nnit of space. For instanoe let. the
lower case "I" be this unit of
Tho lower case "a" will then be equal
to twoef these spaces or twice as wide;
