Just before on blood cnrdling cries and e fusillede of shots were heard and roused Ferry. He realized the situation, and crawling through the brush took re- fuge in the month of a sleeping ge oer. Here he heard the piteous greens and gging of the foreigners, mingled with the oils of the redsklns. The letter killed 01 Gent just as the sun was rising. The slaughter was most brutal, wound after wound being inflicted before the deethshot was given. No body contained less than ten bullets, and the body of Vincent, who made a desperate struggle for life, was completely riddled. 'l he savages passed the morning in further mntilating the bodies and pillag- ing the outfit. The women were nearly scalped, and their long trusses, matted with blood. dangled from the belt of the chief. The beads of the men were hacked, and their bodies frightfull disfigured. The Indians found a store of l quors carried by the Frenchmen. but the quantity was not sufficient to intoxicete them all, else they would doubtless have fought among them- selves. The clothes of the victims were donned by the fiends, who. as they ran from one wagon to the other.wcnld belt on instant to give one of the bodies a kick or e gash with a knife.

They then turned away and began whis- pering to each other. Amphlett listened, and overheard the girl Ward saying. “ We will tie ourselves together;" but at the time he could not understand what they meant. lbs girls then went down the street to. wards Hednesford station, and Amphlett went off in an opposite direction altogether. About an hour later Amphlett and Lloyd were returning to their home when they again met the two girls. Lloyd went home and Amphlett remained with the girls for a while, cndeevoring to persuade them to go home. but his attempts were fruitless. “ Why won’t you go 7" he asked. " Because the will begin rsprimanding us." expleined t 6 girls. “ Well, what do you mean to do 7” " Make away with ourselves in the canal," answered Elizabeth Wylde. with a laugh. and Amphlctt wont ewsy thinking the girls were only jesting.

A women is sewmg an hes' a pair of scissors in her lap. She also them, say, twice, end each time drops them in her lap. The third time she wishes to use them she cannot find them. Though she searches her lap. her dress, her hair and the floor there hly. she cennot find the all btest trace :5 the missing scissors, and t ereefter they are never again soon by mortal eyes. 0r let us. say that a woman. in the very act of using a pair of scissors, is called from her work. She places the scissors carefully in her work basket. goes out, looking the door of the room after her. and returns in 10 or l5 minutes to find her scissors gone. What is more remarkable about the disappear- ance of scissors is that. once having dis. Appeared, they are never ogein found. You may loeoe tack hammer or a comb. but sooner or later you find the missing article behind some piece of furniture, but the pair of scissors once lost is lost forever. There is source] a case on record of the final recovery 0 a pair of scissors that has been missed end has not been found within the next five minutes. An Elder- Down Evening Wrap. A pretty and expensive evening wrap is made of elder down. The colors in which this material comes afford a wide range for the fancy, and alight lining of lactic men‘llilloux south or taffeta silk of some contrasting color mskes such a scrti lie but any enough. The ribbons that tie at the throat should be of the color or colors of the elder-down flannel. for this fabric comes sometimes in stripes and figures of controstiug or harmonizing hues.

London dressmakcrs prefer kilt plaits, artfully gored at the top, and so made that only twice the Width of the skirtlining is needed for them. Early Spring Styles. Soft grey and shell pink will be a favor- ite combination for spring toilets. Spring mnfllers are handsomely made in combinations of black and steel grey. Among new ball dress fabrics are to be seen ribbon-striped nets and genres. Bonnet pins are larger than formerly and show many patterns of which many are floral in design. Novel boss in strawberry. old rose, resp- berry. mahogany and rosewood are pro- mised for the spring. Lenten toilets severely plain and cooler- siasticsl, but very becoming. are to be seen in the modestes’ shops. Golden brown will probably be the lead- ing fashionable color. Another stylish hue is golden torts. cotte or .. etrasque." Yachting shoes for ladies may be seen in meroon toolbar with white heels, or in white kid with scarlet heels. They are very smnrt in appearance. "for “second" mourning silver-shot block silks are novel and quite effective. They will be trimmed with jet and silver gelloons or cut-steel peesementeric.
