In regard to the importance of the question of rank and precedence in Washington, the late governor and United States senator, E. 1). Morgan used to tell a story that perfectly il lustrates the strict puctillio of the dip lomatic circles here, and also how much the new senator has to learn, no matter how well acquainted with the usages of the grande rnonde he f*ay he else where. Gov. Morgan, by the way, was born to the purple, had sceu much of good society before his elevation to the chief magistracy of his own state of New York and the United States senate. ' The matter o f etiquette embarrassed ate a good deal when I first went to Washington as a senator,” said he. “It was in the early days of the war, and Mr. Seward, who was an old friend, was secretary of state. There was a good deal of dinner giving that winter (1863) and I did as the others were doing. During the holidays in 18G3, I Invited the members of the diplomatic corps to mefct the secretaiy of state at dinner. The times were squally, and Seward bad told me privately that he wanted all the social aid he could get, especially' with the foreign min- ¡iters in Washington. Sir Frederick Bruce was the English minister then. He was a special friend of my wife and myself, and had often visited at our home in Now York. Senor Tassara, the 8pnnish minister, was the dean or aoaor of the diplomatic corps. At the congress of Vienna in 1810 the rule was adopted and is still in existence, that diplomatists' precedence at a court is regulated b y ‘ the term of service at that court. So, as my dinner was to diplomat* things bad to be regulated according to diplomatic usage. . “Sir Frederick Bruce was my oldest acquaintance among them, and I asked him to take Mrs. Morgan out to dinner. ‘My dear sir, I can’t do that,’ said Bruce. 'Tassara'a the dean. It’s his right’ ‘Oh, the d— 1,’ said I. ‘Eng land is a bigger country than Spain. Besides, you’re an old friend'of ours. Let the etiquette go.’ ‘But I daren’t,’ •aid Bruce. Just then Seward came up. Healing what was going on he called me to one side and said: ‘This may not seem of any importance to you, Morgan, but it is of immense conse quence to me and the country. Spain to friendly to us. Tassara. being a Spaniard, is extremely punctilious. If, at a diplomatic dinner, bis light of pre cedence is disregarded, he would take It as a deliberate insult to his nation. So, for heaven’s sake, let him take Mrs. Morgan out; otherwise be will write to hla government, and we will have YOU OET S T R O N G , if you’re a tired- out or “ run-down” woman, with Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.

On these terms, what else can be “ just os good” for you to buy? The “ Prescription ” regulates and pro motes all the natural functions, never con flict^ with them, and is perfectly harmless in •'-ijr condition of the female system.

Cam T e ll the Dnys of Hie W e e k and D ifferent Itnilroiul Train», Those people who do not believe in dog stories are really subjects for heart felt commiseration; they have either been unfortunate in their canine ac quaintances or have not the penetration requisite for proper interpretation of dog characteristics. A Louisville •ail- road man has a dog that distinguishes the days of the week and different railroad trains. On days when Midget’s owner made his regular trips the dog accompanies him to the station, but never attempts to board the train—just stays on the platform, an Interested spectator, and wags his tail cheerfully ns the train moves out. On other days and other trains—suburban trains to Parkland or Pewee Valley—he hops aboard without hesitation, evidently aware that the ride in prospect is one that he may share. Midget swears, too; swears like a pirate. The family understands him, but they report that his language is too terrible to be repeated. When tilings don’t go to suit him he retires under a lied or sofa and lies there rolling off oaths of fearful description for hours. A young man who was attentive to Midget’s young mistress unintentionally offended him, but the dog got even. He actually broke off the match. He knew the reg ular nights on which the youth ap peared, and nfc an early hour would en sconce himself under the parlor sofa, from which coign of vantage he would growl forth such volleys of personal and profane remarks that the prospec tive lover became intimidated and ceased his a Item ions. In recognition of which services Midget's master gave him a beautiful collar. —Louisville Courier-Journal. M u k lcff a Dlawnosl«. “Your husband.

A Sailor** Terrible Tuasie with an African Bovine. Americans who remember the buffa lo as one of the most majestic and restless of wild beasts forget that he has a cousin in Africa that is even a more dangerous foe to meet face to face. What he is like may be seen in the following story, told in the Phila delphia Press, by the first mate of a s hooner that in, September, 1889, was bound up the western coast oi Africa from Port Natal and Cape Town. The ship, needtngrepairs, was lain to in Woolfish Bay at the mouth of the river Swakop, where live a few poor natives whose dream of happi ness and greatest evil is Medford rum. Wishing game, the teller of this story and two others went ashore to hunt. What happened he thus describes: We kept pretty close together, we three, until we came to what appeared to bo a natural opening o r clearing in the forest. Half' an hour’s walk brought us to this, which was at least twenty acres in extent and covered with a light brushwood. “ L ook,” said Bostwick, catciting my arm as he turned around—lie was in the lead—“ yonder is a blooming shot, my lad; can you make it. Thunder,” he ejuclated in the same breath, “ There’s three of them.” Almost before I knew it. Captain Warner and Bostwick had dropped to a knee and fired. Two browu bodie-i sprang into the air and then, with a convulsed twist, dropped back into the brush, while a third body went bounding as if it had been shot from a catapult. I had missed my . shot. ( The game secured proved to be a pair of koo-doos, or twisted-horn an telopes. They are about the size of a Shetland pony, with -white streaks runningyebra-fashion over their backs and sides on. a reddish-gray back ground. It is the choicest gamefound anywhere in South Africa. I felt greatly provoked over my lack of luck, and while the captain and his passengers were trying to secure vegetable wythes, with which to tio the feet ot the animals together for slinging over a pole, to transport back to the coast, I wandered along the western side of the clearing, in search of something to kill. I had just about concluded to return when 1 caught a- gleam of water through the trees, a little further on, and, think ing it might furnish some water fowl, plunged through the forest toward it. It proved to be only a narrow creek, which broadened out into a shallow pool, and which evidently emptied in to the S tvakop. There was no sign of bird or beast 'anywhere near it, and, pretty well disgusted, I turned to go back. In that instant I heard a fierce snort, the rush of a huge body, and the next moment I felt myself flying through the air, my gun knock ed from my hand and everything hovering in chaos around me. The instant T struck the ground J was on my feet. I had an instinctive feeling that my life was at stake. As [ raised myself there came rush ing upon me again ihat biedark body, but this time it was no indistinct image; it was tin huge form, the curl ing horns, the glaring eyes and thrash ing tail of a Cape buffalo. asolitairev an old bull driven from the herd and rendered desperate by isolation. Despite my critical condition I al most laughed at mys -If. I felt that I was the vicb’.m of an hallucination: that [ was only dreaming, ‘.and that pretty soon I would waken from the horrible nightmare and all would be well. This feeling was the instantane ous outgrowth of an idea which swept on me. like a (lash. It could not be a C'apd buffalo, because this point was at least 000 miles from the.Cape, and how could the dreaded buffalo—and in its wild state, a solitaire, an isolated bull, especially, nothing is more dreaded by the Boers and Bushmen— have strayed away thus far? if this was a Cape buffalo, lie must be at least 250 miles from his favorite haunts. This was my idea, but the reality dispelled it, for there was the great, brute with his horns forming a bone helmet on its forehead, making forme-with its head down, and bent on my destruction. I had no time to dwell on the rapid ity of thought; how, after tl.ie first at tack and in the few seconds interval before the second, all these things had come into my mind, had been duly discussed and then dismissed; what I had then to do was to escape that snorting monster, which had rushed upon me from his slimy burrow or wash on the edge of the creek. With out giving me a respite, the enraged brute was upon me once more, but I managed to leap aside just as the awful front, with its gleaming eyes, like gems in velvet, swept past me in impotent rage. It was at this juncture that I made the mistake which came nearly cost ing me my life. I endeavored to re cover my shotgun. It had been knock ed from my hand at the first on slaught of the buffalo. Thelatter had been lying in its lair on that bank of the stream, a characteristic of the brute, and* sprang at me as I turned. Dazed by the attack, I bad mis calculated the distance of my weap on. I had reached it, but at that in stant the buffalo was on me again, and, dropping the gun, I had only time to **ize one of it# long curved and bare-liko hornq to save myself from being gored. In the ensuing two minutes I lived an age. T o re lease my hold on the horn of the maddened animal was to precipitate myself to death. T o hang on meant that sooner or later I would be trampled to death. 1 had already experienced Iwhat this meant, for, ly ing with my shoulders to the ground and with the horn held close against my breast, my teefc and legs were dragging along the side of the buffalo, and in this fashion one of the hoofs of the brute had been planted on my right foot with a force that made ine scream with pain, and led me to be lieve that mv foot had been crushed. My weight fortunately kept the buf- fjilo’s muzzle close to the ground. I was a dead weight dragging him down, but how long could i sustain this un equal struggle? Then I began to scream and cry aloud for help. It seemed almost useless, for the dis tance was so great that-1 did not even then believe—and all these thoughts passed through my brain like fire— that Warner and Bostwick could reach me in time. But I made the for est ring with my shouts; they even as tonished the buffalo, for he halted with lowered head, blazing eyes, and frothing muzzle, nnd for'at least a moment remained motionless, save for a slight vacillating movement of the head, and with the forefeet plant ed wide apart. < If you ask me to' explain how it was that all these immue details stood out so conspicuously in my seeming death hour, I mint reply that I do not know. Possibly my brain was cleared by the impending presence of death. I have heard that in drown ing persons see everything of moment in their past liyes moving before them like a panorama with awful distinct ness of detail. In my case the present was intensifi ed. My brain was clearer, my thoughts and ideas and sensations were intensified, and 1 believe that if I had been called upon to speak, my language, describing all this, could have been more comprehensi re, more lucid, perhaps more scholarly than it ever was before or since. The plunging and snorting of the buffalo begau the instant I ceased shouting from exhaustion. He swung his head and tried to plunge his horns into my body. I almost grinned to myself at the spectacle I must have presented to an outsider. That of a wet house floor-cloth on the end of a mop stick swung to and fro by achild. Round and round, up and down the narrow, grass-grown space between the trees, the demon-like brute raced, dragging one after him and seeking at every opportunity ‘ to pin one to the earth with his long, curved, but lance like horns. My face and right shoul der were covered with the hot foam in his lolling jaws, while his hot breath burned like a furnace fire on my cheek. At the end of five minutes, when my left leg stung as if a thousand bees had buried their little poignards in it, and which was owing to the flesh being torn off the calf in great strips six inches long, laying' the bone bare, an inspiration came tome. I had borrowed a sheath knife from one of the men on the Shoop before I came away. It was hanging at my right side. Mastering every bit of re maining strength I released the hold of my .right hand on the buffalo’s horn and reached for the sheath knife. I got it loo«e, and then with a feeling of revenge which I cun not describe, but with inconceiveable pain I threw my self a little more to the .right, nev er releasing the hold of m y left hand on the buffalo’s horn, I plunged the knife almost up to the hilt in the right eye of the beast. The next in stant I was lying prone on. the grass, while the most terrible roar I ever heard was making the forest ring. I had been thrown aside like a bit of cork by the brute, which was charging to and fro and tossing its head in an agony of pain, while a thin stream of blood ran down and dripped from its muzzle. To save my life I knew that I must getaway, bub exhaustion, the rending pain in my left leg, and a placid sort of acquiescence in what seemed to be my unavoidable death, held me down. In one of his turns the buffalo caught sight of me with his remaining eye. The knife, like my gun, lay ten feet away from me, and I was absolutely helples*. I saw the great head lower ed for the attack that would end my existencewhen I heard a voice—it was Bostwick’s, and he seemed to whisper the words, although he assorted after ward that it was a ringing shout—' say: “ Keep cool ana shut your eyes.” I did as I was bidden. In a dreamy sort of way I closed my eyes; there was the roar of a gun, the sound of voices in my ears, and then I dropped off to sleep. When I awakened Bostwick and the captain were bending over me; my neck-cloth was all wet and clammy where they had been dashing water over me to revive me. I was unable to walk back to the mouth of the river, so four of the ship’s crew who were summoned by Captain Warner carried me back. The rest of the story is _ soon told. Bostwick had heard m y cries and ar rived just in time to put an end to the Cape Buffalo before his final charge on me. I will carry the scars of 'that encounter on my right leg for life. Bostwick has been my brother- in-law for two years. He doesn’t talk much about that scrape, but when he docs he always betrays# liis South African experience by adding: “ I don’t see how that bloody brute ewer got so far north as the Swakop.” “ Neither do I.” \ l a m Post Master here and keep, a Store.
