The next man on whom Hickok got I the drop was Bill Mulvev a notorious! i rough iroui St. Joseph, Missouri, ho i got drunk one day, ran the 'squire I and constable out of Hays City, caused the citizens to scatter aud finally met Wild Bill with the remark that he had lived long enough. Although a pistol was leveled at Hickok's head, and he knew it would talk in half a second, he did not lose his presence mind tor an instant, but reuiarkud as it to a third party, iu a very quiet tone, "Don't hit him. He is only fooling." Mulvey turn ed his head to see who was about to strike him, as lid BUI pistols were out instantaneously, and the St.

Joe des- perado dropped like a stone, a bullet having entered jut back ot the right ear. This settled Mulvey, and Sheritl' Hickok received a vote of thanks from the citizens for killing him. TWO SUI.UIKKS CROAKED. Wild Bill's next difficulty was with eight or ten soldiers of the 7th cavalry, who invited him into a bar-room at Hays to take a drink. While standing at the bar he was knocked down by one ot the blue coats.

The minute he struck the floor his pistol was out. and, unfortunately he killed a man who was trying to make peace, and also another who participated in the attack. The fellow who caused the row succeeded in escaping with a bullet in the broadest part ol him exposed to fire while running away. Twe companies of cavelry were sent in pursuit ol Hickok, but they failed to catch him. He footed it sixty-six miles to Ellsworth, and subsequently turned up as marshal of Abiline, Kansas.

Here it was that he killed a brother of the man who murdered him, if he killed him at all, which is very doubtful, it being thought by many that McCall's assertion to that effect was merely made to save his neck after his cowardly crime. BILL KILLS 1'lllL. COLE, THE TEXAS. It was at Abiline, in lSH'J or 170, that Hickok killed Phil. Cole, an influential cattle trader.

The marshal had arrested three or four ot Cole's men, and the Texans threatened to "kill the long haired They roped him into a saloon for that purpose. The bar was lined with men, Hickok being at one end and Cole at tho other. Bill knew what was up, and kept his eye on the enemy. He saw him go for his gun, and both men drew simultaneously. Wild Bill's aim was as acurate as ever, and while he remained unscatheJ, the Texan tell dead his tracks without uttering a the bullet from Hickok's derringer hav ing hit him between the eyes, spattering his brains on the clothes of his friends.

The Texans tried to run him out of Abiline, hut he wouldn't scare worth a nickle, and didn't leave that section until the fall after the Texans bad gone home.

Jack says that in lscti Wild Bii! killed his brother in Kansas without cause or provocation. Jack's statement is that his brother and Wild Bill had a little misunderstanding in a saloon in Kansas about some trilling matter, and Wild Bill proposed to tight it out. McCall said it was no fighting matter and did not want to tirht. and that he was not armed, when Wild Bill, having two pistols, threw McCall one ol them, and said "DAMN YOr, YOl KSEI.F." McCall took the pistol, but before he could raise it Wi Bill shot him dead. Young Jack McCall, hearing the particulars of his brother's death, registered an oath that he would kill Wild Bill on sight, and faithfully kept his word.

The Wyandotte County Central Com mittee of the Independent Reform party of Kansas, on Saturday, passed a resolution emphatically repudiating the action of their State Central Committeo in mutilating the Independent State ticket by chopping oft" its head and substituting the Democratic skull and cross-bones in its stead. In 1861, Governor Hendricks wag a member of the First Presbyterian Church of Indianapolis. Dr. Nixon, the pastor, having preached a sermon declaring it "the duty of loyal and Christian peo-to statu! by the Government," Hendricks accepted the sermon as a personal affront, and promptly severed his connection with the church. It is stated that the Republican State Central Committee of New York propose to offer a reward of $3,000 for the production of any evidence that during the late civil war Mr.

While the appropriation bills of this year, as patsed by the House of Representatives, are in the aggregate $29,594,187. 3VS less than for the same branches of the ser vice last year, the actual "saving" to the Treasury, as is conclusively shown by Senator Windon in his speech in the United States Senate August 12th, is not one-fith of the suqi. Senator Windon's figures are ofticial, and they are conclu sive on that point.

HOW TO STOP BLEEDING AT THE NOSK. There are many remedies recommended, such as putting a large key down thv patient's back, and so on, but the mot effectual, based upon scientific principles, so effectual as to be infallible. The entire blood supply of the face comes trom two little arteries, each sunitl vinir one siue the face, and each i passes over the outside of the jawbone, ajout WO-thirds of the WaY back from the chin to the angle of the jaw under the ear. These arteries can be found by the finger, and in case of bleeding at the nose can be pressed against the jawbone, thus stopping the flow of blood from the nostril, one of the arteries supplies the right nostril, and the other the lelt. It can therefore be easily determined on which side to apply the pressure, which should be continued long enough to allow of contraction in the liner arteries of the nose.

A MAKRIAUK IN THE SUKF. Last winter an elderly Baltimore gentleman, proud ol his wealth, discovered that his daughter had dared to love a young man lar beneath her in the estimation of society. A week later the Baltimore mansion was closed for the season, and the names of father and daughter soon after appeared on the register of one of the Xarragausett Pier hotels. There was with them a companion, outwardly treated as an equal, but in reality a paid spy over the young lady's movements and correspondence. But belore a lortnight had elapsed the young lover at Baltimore received one morning a big envelope containing a dainty note which filled him with joy unspeakable.

lie had a friend who was a clergyman, and before the sun had set that night the two had a long, earnest conlerence, which resulted next morning in the departure ot the train for Xarragausett Pier. The old gentleman was forbidden by his physician to bathe in the surf, and the spy bated tna sea as the devil is said to hate holy water. The young lady enjoyed her bath exceedingly, and as the most intatuated lover is apt to be temporarily disenchanted by the appearance of his idea! in a bathing dress, the lather and the spy concluded that no possible harm could come to the "dear child'' in the water, and so the spy only sat upon the bank and watched, The lover and minister reached Providence in due time, and speedily won a young lawyer over to their cause. The lover then went to the pier, and, keeping out of the way of the spy, suddenly appeared before the happy girl in the water. A few minutes sufficed for him to propose that they be married the next day in the water, and the lady promptly consented.

Back flew the enraptured lover to Providence, legal formalities were quietly arranged, the lawyer invited a confidential friend as a wituess, and the next day, when the water was lull of people, a party ot five might have been seen a littie apart from the other bathers. The marriage ceremony had to be suspended every lew seconds on account of the breakers. Then the foam leaped to claim the first kiss from the lips of the bride, but the rest of the little party relinquished their privalege on ac-count of the attention such a preceeding might attract. The late Dr. one of the moderators, did not satisfy by hi preaching the Calvinistic portion of his flock.

"Why, sir," said they, "we think you dlnna tell us enough about renouncing our ain righteousness." Renouncing your ain righteousness vocierated the astonished doctor, "I never saw any ye had to renounce An "able seaman" from Ardamurchan was at tiller of his sloop one night shortly after the introduction of colored signal lights on ships, A steamer was approaching, and Archy saw the srreen in a at I And Peace had folded her pinions there.

And a smile came over his features grim, "I'll take the tyrant under my care: Watch what my hour-glass does to him.

Old Time is doing his work full well- Much less of might does the tyrant wield But ah I with sorrow my heart will swell And sad tears fall as I see him yield. Could I stay the touch of the shriveled hand.

I would keep the bald-head from No-man's laud.

Louis Gtoite-liemocrut. WILD BILL THE Ml'KDEKED SCOCT. Interesting I.cldent.H Connected with hi Wild Li'e, Death and Burial. The tragic fate of James B. Hickok, better known as "Wild hill," a title given him by Texans during the war, has been already published, the noted scout having been murdered in the most cowardly manner by Jack McCall, who was subsequently acquitted, alter a mock trial, by the miners ol Deadwood.

Hickok was a native ol Illinois, his mother aud sister residing near Galena in that state. It was customary lor linn to visit his relatives every two or three years, and he never did so without brin ins somethiug substantial with him. His brother is a wagon boss in New Mexico. and strange to say his brother's name is Bill. Wild Bill was generous to a tault, swore like a trooper at certain stages, aud would rather indulge in puker than eat, on one occasion having played in his hist earthly possession a black and tan terrier.

"Poor Bill it is too bad to think ol him being shot down without a show," remarked Mr. John Malone to a Globe-Democrat reporter yesterday. Knowing that Jack had been intimately associated with the deceased for several years, he was asked to enumerate a lew of the shooting scrapes that had made his friend so much teared throughout the Western country, and the following very interesting tacts were gleaned during the interview You may say this to commence with, remarked Malone. Bill was the only frontiersman who would take his pistoU off aud FIHHT A S'lfAKK FIGHT with anyone who wanted to settle a dispute in that way. lie was always anxious to avoid a quarrel, but if he found he was going to be forced into one, took good care to get the drop on the enemy, and he wa9 a sure shot.

It was in 1SG0 that I first knew him. He was then driving a bull team at Leavenworth, but afterwards took a train to Denver, Colorado. One of his first tights was with a gang in Dovertown, two miles above Fort Kearney. He and Bill Story killed three men there. Shortly aiterwards he and the notorious desperado Slade were 9tage driving tor the Overland, with their "lay over" at Julesburg, on the Platte.

He was next heard of at Virginia City, where great rivalry existed between two sets of road agents, anil it was there that Bill made the ene mies who forced him snto THE BIGGEST FIUHT OF HIS LIFK. He came across the plains as a Union scout with the Second Colorado in '(J3. While they were encamped on Walnut Creek, near Marysville, Kansas, Hickok called on a Mrs. Walter-, having been a great friend ot her husband. She begged him, for God's sake, to leave, saying that ten men from Virginia City had arranged to come and kill him.

"Well little woman, don't be trightened. Get behind the chimney, and we'll stop "em," was the scout's reply. The gang finally surrounded the house and the leader shouted, "Is Wild Bill here?" "Yes, Come and get him," was the answer, and two of the invading party were shot dead as they endeavored to enter. The others turned and ran. Bill stepped to the door, rifle in hand, and at a distance of 250 yards shot and instantly killed a third one of the party.

He always considered this the best shot he ever made. HOW HE KII.I.ED JOE TCTT. In 1J5 Bill Wis keeping a livery stable Springfield, Missouri. One night in game oi Hiker, with i'utt as an opponent, Hickok overplai.l himself thirty or thirty-five dollar. There was nothing unusual in this as they were friends.

The next day Wild Biil was playing, Tutt, ho by the way. was a rebel scout during the war, came in, demanded his money, picked up Hickok's watch, which was lying on the table, and boasted that noon he would walk with it across the public square. Bill made no reply. At midday a large crowd, hearing of the affair, had congregated all of Tutt's iriends being in the southwest corner ot the square. Tutt started on hia foolish mission, when Hickok at once sulked through the crowd of his enemie supporters, aud when about thirty yards apart the men drew their pistols and fired.

Wild Bill nev.r waited to see the effect of his shot, but wheeled on Tutt's friends, and asked if any more shooting was wanted by them. They appeared to satisfied, however, for their champion was dead shot through the heart. In '67 Bill turned up as a scout for Col. Bradley, at Fort Riley. One night a Sang of vigilantes were amusing themselves by hanging a teamster between Junction City and Fort Eiley.

Hickok, happening to ride along at the time, made a rush for the lynchers, and away they went, their victim being rescued. 8AM STRAWHAN SHOT DEAD. A Hickok wr.s sheriJ of Ellis Counfr. Kan-as. with headquar- rers at Havs Citv.

The divides between the vallevs are a high rolling prairie free Iruui any sloughs or marshes ot any description, so that flocks iu grazing from hill to hill are not compelled to pass over any wet or marshy place whatever. Kansas in this respect has a great advantage over nearly every other western state, nor is it subject to those cold storms in sp-ing and fall Jamb killers: as are the eastern stales. It is a very rare thing to have a long cold storm in spring. nave but little rain until the weather is warm enough lor showers, and almost any Iamb, though it is very young, will go through a dashing show er without perishing.

It is the long, cold storms which cause shepherds so much trouble during lambing season in other states. In Wisconsin I have known these cold storms to come on as late as May and la-t for several days, and although shepherds would employ all the men, women and children in tho neighborhood to assist in saving the lambs, yet it was not an uncommon thing that frem to per cent, ot the Iambs would perish. In Wisconsin in one storm I saw more lambs perish in a flock of 250 sheep than I have lost Iroui my tlock of over a 1,000 in nine years. 1 can truly say I know of no eoiiHtry so favorably to the sht-cp i ai-cr, during lambing season, as this. I doubt if Texas with all its boasted advantages, can offer dmi.ig lambing soaMiii pleasanter weather than we almost always have here.

I have my lambs dropped about the last of April and the first of May. Although the lambs are not quite so large to start in ttie winter yet I have never had any trouble in wintering lambs at this age, and 1 think it more profitable than to have them dropped earlier. By the la.t of April the grass is well started, theertes have plenty of milk, and the lambs soon get strong, and are able in a few days to take care ol themselves. Another advantage this country oilers, is its winter grasses sheep can be kept on the range in the tall until about the first week in December. Last winter 1 kept my tlock on the range until the first of January, and they did splendidly.
