Panic. In the spring of 185G I received, a commission ns inspector of customs for the port of Paso del Norte under Caleb Sherman, of Kalnmazoo, ns col- leoor during the administration of President Pierce says a writer in the I'hil- 1 adelphia Times. El Paso was then, as it is today, the important point on. the Rio Grande between Laredo, Texas, and Santa Pe, New I had frequent opportunities to meet and form the acquaintance of the most noted men of frontier, and not the least among them was the redoubtable Kit Carson. One of the most interesting stories ran as Kit was at the time engaged in scout- and prospecting for the military, jnd often scouted in company with a igle companion, being furnished by be government with a horse, arms and provisions.

It was while on one of his trips across the desolute and trackless solltud aqj 10 SHBO.TQ Suoru mountains, in company with a second lieutenant by the name of Lazelle, a fresh recruit from West Point, that he experienced one of the most perilous adventures of his whole frontier life. They had provided themselves with supplies for a week's ecout for the purpose of locating the rendezvous of a roving band of Apache marauders. After bein out three days they had xeached a point probably 100 miles from Santa Fe, and in one of the most deso- lute and inhospitable parts of that uninviting wilderness. They rode along the breaks of the mountains that wall In the canyon in they were then confined, In of water, which, from certain in- they had great hope of find- having been without it the whole 'day. It was during an unusually dry time, even for that country, and all the little reservoirs had dried up, and consequently wild beasts were frequently found in considerable bands near these infrequent watering places of the moun- itain foottulls.

After being out three days they had discovered a small spring, Mie stream from which soon lost itsolf in a small pool twenty feet away. They came suddenly upon a small band of antelope among the cacti near the spring, and killing one, thctv soon prepared a sumptuous supper off tho broiled steaks, and having secured their horses by their strong forty-foot stake ropes, they turned in quite comfortable ior the night. Lieut. Lnzelle, being wholly inoxperi- enced in such a life and unacquainted with 12ie nature and habits of wild beasts, seemed to feel quite a.t! ease and unconcerned about the night disturbances. Many of the most ferocious animals of the wilderness do not venture out for water till dark.

Carson, well acquainted with tHic dangers of their position, that one should stand guard while the other slept, each two hours alternately, and Informed Lazelle that they would probably witness Uhe most stirring scenes of their lives toward the middle of the night, as that seemed to bo a great rt 1 sort for ferocious beasts for water and prey. They had cut their antelope up in quarters and tied the best of it to the stalk of a largo Spanish bayonet, or cactus tree, which Carson well knew would attract the ravenous jaquor and panther, and perhaps the proud mpnaralii of those canyons, the grizzly, as this was the home of that dreaded monster. Lazelle readily consented to stand sentinel on the first watch, and not realizing the true nature of the danger of the situation, he was anxious, and in fact eager, for something to "turn to drive away the monotony of the dull tramp they had had so far. But the arduous ride of twelve hours without! water or food was too much for -his untutored nerves, and he had unconsciously fallen asleep soon after entering upon his watch, and was harder to arouse than the Indomitable Carson, who had been so accustomed to sleep with. 1 one eye open that the un- usunl sounds which soon broke in upon their slumbers aroused him to a full realization of their peril.

The full moon was just peering over the opposite wall of the canyon and lit up the whole valley. Kit's practiced eye was quick to take in the situation, and, as forewarned is forearmed, he was always ready upon a moment's warning to enter upon the most deadly fray. flie horses were In a state of perfect frenzy, snorting and lunging in the greatest desperation to free themselves their fastenings and the hungry Januars which had beset them in force.

Carson told him no, but lie would soon be compelled to kill something or be killed as he had heard the roar of an approaching grizzly, and the safest place for him was on the ground, as the solemn mien and an unsmiling face.

Lazelle was soon at his side, performing the nhnrod act in flue style. The approach of the grizzly seemed to be the signal for the departure of all other beasts, and tho, field was soon cleared of all other dangers and left to the monster of the canyon.

He was not long in putting in an appearance, to the great consternation of the' lieutenant, and Kit said he felt crowded closer to the wall than ever before. It so happened that they had placed themselves between their horses and the approaching bear which somewhat quieted the poor beasts' apprehensions and they became less The lieutenant seemed thoroughly panic seeing no chance to escape, he suddenly braced up to the inevitable contest and actually advanced to meet tli)i monster. This maneuver had the effect of stopping the advance of the bear, and he seemed about to change bis tactics when a rattier hasty shot from Lnzelle brought on on immediate engagement. The shot took effect hi the forearm of the bear, shivering the bone and crippling him in such a'manner that Carson was quick to perceive the advantage, and, aiming at) the other forearm, at close quarters, he placed, his ball so well that the animal was made powerless and lunged and rolled about on the grass in a furious rage. He was then in their power and it was an easy matter to finish their work.

Writer Itucom'inemlH tho itt'iidlng of Situie Children. I am glad to see that what the lui- derstapding would stigmatize as useless Is coming back Into books written for children, Avhich at one time threatened to become more and more dreadfully practical, says James Russel Flower in Harper's Magazine.

The fairies are permitted once more to imprint their rings on the tender sward of the child's fancy, and it; is the child's fancy that ofteu lives obscurely on minister solace to tho lonelier and less sociable mind of man. Our nature resents the closing up of the windows on its emotional and imaginative side, and revenges itself as it can. I have observed that many who deny the inspiration of Scripture hasten to redress their balance by giving a reverent credit to the revelations of inspired tables and campstools. In a last analysis it may be said that it is to the sense of wonder that all literature of the fancy and of the Imagination appeals. I am told that this sense is tho survival iu us of some savage ancestor of the age of flint.

If so, I am thankful to him for his longevity, or his transmitted nature, whichever it may be. But I have my own suspicion sometimes that the true age of flint is before and not behind us, an age hardening itself more and more to those subtle influences which ransom our lives from the captivity of the actual, from that dungeon Avhose wardter is the giant despair. Yet I am consoled by thinking that the siege of Troy will be remembered when those of Vicksburg and Paris are forgotten. One of the old dramatists, Thomas Heywood, has, without meaulng it, set down for us the uses of the poet: "They cover us with counsel to defend us From storms without; they polish us With learning, knowlege, arts, and dis- ci pllnes; All that is nought and vicious they sweep from us Like dust and cobwebs; our rooms concealed Hang with the costliest hangings 'bout the walls, Emblems and beauteous symbols pictured round." do him justice, he conscientiously lived; plote freedom; seeing the gay, busy A beautiful woman with perfumed hair up to that conviction, and, a's far as was crowd passing on to their pleasures ami had hung on my arm; she had accepted of an ant-hill. the mate of the Providence told because the negroes get out warrants and delay tho boat.

An only son, motherless from my cradle, I had accepted with the submission and possibly with the contentment of ignorance the code of morals and mode of life which it had pleased my father to impose upon me, and which would have seemed better suited to the most shrinking and delicate girl than to a healthy, stoutly grown and active lad. Perhaps the real secret of my passive and unresisting acquiescence lay in the act that I was constitutionally averse to society of any kind, and that especially the presence of any member of the other sex tilled me with an unreasoning awe that amounted to actual pain.

A feminine girl or made fifty times more awkward than I naturally was; she elicited an unbecoming shyness which at other times was quite foreign to my nature, and which impressed the cause of these emotions with a contemptuous dislike of me. "Harry Millner is a perfect gawk!" I once heanl the pretty daughter of one of our nearest neighbors say to an elder sister, when, my school days being finally over, I had been sent by my father to walk with her in the vicarage garden, and had ignominiously ended the interview by running away and hiding myself in an arbor, whence I could hear her comments on my conduct. "Harry Millner is a poor, miserable creature," calmly remarked tills dispassionate maiden. "But you know, Helen, that he is as poor as a rat, so ho will never have to make love to any girl, thank God!" she added piously. Yes I was gawk at twenty, as I had been at any other period of my life.

Yes, I was a miserable creature, in spite of my live feet ten Inches and my broad shoulders.

One 1 night after the NOAV Year I heard some, men at a cafe -talking of the Bal do 'Opera. I wondered how sensible, honest, moral men could show themselves in such a place. Then I speculated ou what that place was really like, and later on, to my own incredulous astouisluneut, found myself in my dress clothes walking, dazed and inexpressibly shocked, in the corridor of tiie first tier of boxes, gazing stupidly on the scene below every time I came to one of tiie openings affording ingress or egress to the seats in front. I believe I was meditating on the-way of escape, leaning against the side of one of the boxes, when I became aware of a female figure Avho had stopped beside me.

She wore a sky blue satiu domino, elegantly trimmed with white lace, a loup of the same color and material, with a crsdeep fall of blond, concealed her features, and she slowly waved a fan of blue feathers. A strong perfume of heliotrope seemed to emanate from her person or her dress as she drew closer to mo. Presently she placed a small, pulnip hand on my arm, and said in a high-pitched, artificial but very silvery voice: "I know thoe!" How could she know meV Yet she evidently did, or else sho would not singled me out of tho crowd and plainly told me so. I tried to solve the mystery by ransacking my memory, but in vain. As If to reproach me with my silence, the voice repeated, in exactly the same tone.

"I know thce!" Curiosity got the better of my shamc- faceduoss or perhaps the fact that the unknown was closely masked gave me unusual for I not only entered into conversation with, the blue domino, but began to question her, begging her to refresh my dulled souvenirs, and When 1 undressed at last, I discovered that my AVI! tch was large, new keyless repeater, that fitted somewhat tightly in my pocket. I was in no mood to dwell on this disappearance then. Worn, out by such novel emotions I fell asleep. When I awoke, after a couple of hours of troubled slumbers, I seemed to hear the silvery voice saying softly, "I know thee!" AVlio can the blue domino be? And who can have stolen my watch?
