In tlie spring of 187G, Mexico v;ns in a tumult, Lertlo, the Clrirf Justiop, suceocdiiig to the Presidency nt tbo death of Juarez, anil afterward elected for a second term, aunonnced himself as a candidate for Hie third. His politieid opponents, enraged nt tho thought of n third term, uprose iu nil directions and declared for Diaz. In March of this year only the rumblings of the rebellion ■were heard, but society wan daily becoming more and more disturbed.' Armed men were everywhere about, nnd miny bauds of lawless ruffians -were scouring tho outskirts of the cities and towns, oteoling from the farmers, and 'caving behind them desolation mid d>;p:iir— I uly a peculiarly daug.-rmw nud un- i 'ltuuate time for a foreigner to set out o.i ajourni'y. On a lovely morning in early March, a young American gentleman left the town of Matnnzas to travel to Jalnp:u The narrow road nt first winds up tlie side of the mountain, turning sharply nround sudden bends, where a fc'iiglc misstep of tho liorso or mule would liVirl "f * hn jMnr/aiwln^-ii into, gm^vnljjvv;hfilgg*, It is as lf tSe great mouutam baabecn hoUowad out, and the jagged sides lett standing, 'with a rndo path trending I from tho base to the summit. Tlie J American was accompanied by sin nn- j live horsemen mounted on mustangs j similar to his own, and four footmen. The whole party were armed. After | jiassing about half way up the mountain Bide the traveler halted, aud motioned to his followers to do the same. For a long time he sat motionless in his sad- j dlo gazing out nt the exquisite picture ! before him. In the distance, far below, I lay the wonderful valley of Matanzns, J tho " Garden of Mexico.'" Tlie rich, ev;-1 cessive vegetation could plainly b.« di <- j cerned, and a few light and graceful j clouds living drifted ngaiust the tower- , ing rocks. The beams of the lately-! risen sun were pouring over the hill- J tops and illuminating the vast plain be-! neath with a fresh and rosy light. Ho j must have been indeed a prosaic and unappreciativo man who would pass carelessly by such a wonder-work of no- | ttiro. J His reverie wns suddenly broken by n j nhout from nbove. Looking up he saw ! a single horseman picking his way care-1 fully toward him. He was soon recog-1 nized by the men as a resident of Mat- anzas. "When he drew near he spoke rapidly and excitedly to the. escort in their peculiar pa/ota, gesticulating violently all tlie while. The effect was immediate and startling. The entire body of native horsemen, with one exception, and all the footmen, turned sharply around and made their way rapidly down the mountain side, without a word of explanation or fnre- wetf to their employer. The only one who remained was Filomeno, who had been sent by his master, a friend of the traveler, to accompany him to Jnlnpn, nnd who understood English after a fashion. Ho sat motionless in his saddle, gitzing after Ins countrymen, now fast disappearing around the curves of the pathway. "Whnt's the matter, Filomeno ?" asked . the American at length, rising in his snddleas he spoke, and shading his eyes with his hand, ns he looked after tho de- f^MBxtu^..iiTshai did that fell aw Bay that has mado all thLS'fuss?" "He said," replied the Mexican slowly, '* that revolution had already broken out at Jalapa; that the terrible soldiers o£ the plains aro before us, and that it you proceed you will bo surrounded aud killed." "Stuff," said tho American, "I am not afraid. Filomeno; let us go on." Aud, as he spoke, ho tightened his hold on his horse's rein, and was about to Erocoed, when he saw that Filomeno ad not stirred. " Come, Filomeno," said ho, " timo is slipping by and wo must bo off. Surely you are not afraid to accompany me ?" "Nomatter," answered the Mexican, "but I cannot go as I am. All theso robbers know Filomeno, and would give a good, price for my head. If I go with you I must go disguised. Wait;" and, turning around, he scrambled lightly and quickly back from the road toward a- little lint near by, whence a thin wreath of smoke was curling lazily up tiirough the clear morning air. Ho was gone fcni'cely fifteen, minutes, and when lie again drew near tho Amenoan hardly knew him. Filomeno had disappeared under tho guise of a charcoal-burner, "Now I am ready j I have left my horso where it Will be taken care of," ho said, and now on foot he fell into his old place closo behind the American's mustang. Aud so they journeyed on, up into tho clouds and then down again, over the . rich breasts of valleys which are only found in the tropics, and along the tracks of old watercourses, and through brooks and little rivers of a peculiar greenish hue. Afotind them was nature in all her wasteful Inxuriance, bat no eign of anything luimnn to help or hinder them. That ni£ •]$ they encamped in a small Vfdley, and yesnmed their journey" at daybreak. At 11 o'clook on the morning of this day they wero drawing near Jalapa, Tho sun was beating down out of a cloudless sky; tho heat was intense; and a df ep stillness soemed to havo settled over tho groat plain. Before them was the Valley of Jalapa; on the right Ihe "Volcano of Orizaba, its cono white with snow and ice, its sides covered with that luxuriance of foliage only known where eternal summer reigns. The American, too tired even to no- tieo this, was nodding in his saddle, and for n long time had not spoken to his companion. Ho was aroused by a low .•ry from Filomeno. Turning toward him and followim? the direction of his eyes, he saw a large body of horsemen galloping toward him. He could see at once that thoy wero not Tegular soldiers. They advanced in confusion, and no two men seemed dressed alike. It wrs a squad of tlio dreadedguerrillas on a f or- tt'gtog expedition: ~ Wttii -u terMBIo*meTi" ing of despair the American againlooked around for Filomeno. He had fled. Tlio American was alone, with a hundred wild and lawless Mexican robbers bearing down on him, like a nulling wind across a placid lake. In a moment, as it seemed, thoy were upon liim and nround him. Eesistanco "Now," said the offloer, "take this horso nnd como to my quarters." Then, turning around, ho shouted out, in Spanish, to tho chief of tho guorrillas: '' Franoisco, if I hear of another prank like tins. I shall send my orderly to blow out your brains." At the officer's quarters, in the city, our countryman received every possible attention, and as soon as he was rested and refreshed ho was furnished with horses and money and escorted safely to Vera Oraz.

He was pulled off his horso in a twinkling, stripped naked in tho midst of a dense circle of howling savages, who were cursing and fighting for his various articles of dress. At length his clothing, arms aud valuables wero divided. Tlie lender of the hand, with tho American's watch dangling from his bolt, shouted out an order to his men. Two troopers armed with malehczies rode up to the prisoner nnd commanded him to walk j lieforo them. before them.

Angry, faint and sore, and half blinded by the fierce rays of tho sun, tho American wheeled around and upbraided tlie lender for these indignities, and ospeeially for depriving him of his clothes. In reply, one of the soldiers pulled out fromunderhis saddlo a piece of coarso and filthy matting which he carelessly tossed to the prisoner. " Take this," he said; " it is too small for you, but the fleas in it will keep yon warm." And so, WTapping this dirty covering about his shoulders, our eonntrymaii started on his painful ranreh to Jalapa. At 3 o'clock iu tlie afternoon they reached th'o town.

He moved his bench under the window of the hut, and stretching himself under it listened carelessly to thi< iiUe conversation of the soldiers outside.

What ho had heard wa3 this: The soldiers were talking about a fair that was ti) open in Jalapa on the morrow, nnd they were detailing to a new-comer some of tho amusements that had been planned for the occasion. " We are going to have a shooting match at noon," said one; "we havogot au American spy in that box yonder, and we tiro going to tio him to a stake and shoot at him with our revolvers. Whoever kills him will get five silver dollars. Tho dog's hours aro numbered." These were the words which had fallen on tho American liko a pall. It was probably much less than a hour that the prisoner lay insensible. Then he roused himself, and, like the brave man that ho was, looked his doom in the face. So he was to die, and die the death of a miserable cur; he, tho inhabitant of a pleasant Northern city, with youth, health, kind friends and fortune.

He could not mark the hours, but at length he know by tho cool wind that crept in through the bars, that day—his last day—was not far away. Then ho heard a cock crow; and then he saw a bright ray of sunlight come flashing into his miserable hut, and he was sure that he had but a few hours moretolive. He made up bis mind that ho would die bravely. Ho rose to his full height, stretched his limbs, and raised his head proudly. As he did so ho heard a sound of horses galloping toward him. Ho rushed to the window and looked out. A cavalry officer, in a fine uniform, with flashing arras and equipments, and followed by a squad of men, was coming every moment nearer and nearer. The lounging guerrillas around his prison started up and stood respectfully aside; several who lingered were knocked over by tho hurrying hoofs of tho horsemen. The officer rode close up to the hut, and, pulling his horse almost on to his haunches, ho leaped to the ground, With a qnick and angry enmmand to the guard at tho door tlio bolt was drawn back, Tho American, entirely naked, was standing in the middle of the room. trollable disease.

We should never.hear tho birds sing any mora, and never more hear mamma's voice. And then came tho nose. What was that for? Somehow the little ones seemed puzzled at tliis point. About the eyes and ears there had been no question—but tho nose? Thoy looked up into the lady's face curiously, evidently with au answer ready, but not quite sure of being right.' Finally the questioner saw an intelligent smile upon ono chubby little face—one of tho four-year-olds— and she said to the child: "Ah, Miss Dot, you can tell me what the nose is for, can't you ?

Ho used for seed an eight-rowed oorn which he has improved by careful selection, and bo- liovts it to bo a good variety to raise, anywhere between Virgiria and tlie Canada line. The ground selected for planting was a good pie-? of gravelly loam. It was well plowed about the first of May, harrowed, treated to a broadcast application of nine hundred pounds fertilizer to the acre; again harrowed faithfully, rendering tho land fine nnd mellow; rows marked threo foet apart, a small amount of fertilizer scattered to each row. May 10th, threo kernels of corn planted in each hill, two feet apart in tho rows; cultivated and hoed four times, allowing no weeds to grow; passed through the entire r>iece, cutting each hill down, to two stalksj . every sucker in each hill out throughout the field. During the entire peried- of * growth through the season the field was closely watched, every weed pulled and every ear of smut cut out. At the proper time, after the corn had become hard, it was cut, bound in bundles, andstooked. When dry it was drawn into the barn, whore, with the assistance of a hired man, tho corn was husked, weighed as husked, and found to yield one hundred and ten bushels of shelled corn to the aore, allowing soyenty-five pounds of ears to equal one bushel pf shelled corn.

One view seems possible, the other absurd. —Boston Journal of Chemistry. A Donbtfiii Apology* Not many years ago, in the village of Eatonton, Ga., a man made his appearance and stopped at the tavern. Ho was possessed of a remarkable nose, one which almost monopolized his entire face—red, Koman, enormous. So great a show was it, that it attracted universal attention. The glances cast at it, and the remarks made about it, had rendered its owner somewhat sensitive upon ihe subject. A half-grown negro boy was summoned by the proprietor to carry his baggage to his room. Cuffee was much taken with the noso. As ho came out of the room, unable to contain himself longer, he exclaimed: "Golly, what a nose!" Our traveler overheard him, and went to his master with a demand for punishment. Cuffee was called up, and, at the sug- fidelity to the King, and expressed his determination to stay the progress of Napoleon. Arriving at Besancon Ney found the whole country hastening to meet tho coming Emperor, and at Lyons the Dukes d'Artois and d'Angouleme acknowledged the fruitleBsness of the endeavor to check the popular enthusiasm of Napoleon which had seized the troops of Ney's command. Impelled by tin's popular current, Ney and his army joined Napoleon, and fought under his banners until Waterloo was lost. After tlio conclusion of that eventful day, Noy was advised to leave France, bat refused, and "retired to his country seat to await his fate. He was soon arrested and brought to trial, but, his colleagues and companions in arms having declared themselves incompetent to form a court martial whereby to judge him, the affair was carried to the House of Peers, by whom he was tried and condemned for treason. On the 7th of December, 1.815, Marshal Ney, one of the most brilliant officers the world has ever seen, who had fought and won many desperate battles for France, but never one against her, was shot as a traitor Bobby and tlio Plaster.

Walking to the room where our traveler was, and toucliing ■his hat and humbly bowing, ho said: "Massa, I was talkin' nonsense. You ain't got no nose 1" Anecdote of Bryant. Mr. Bryant was peculiarly considerate of tho feelings of others. An associate editor relates tho following incident: Mr. Bryant, who wns reading a review of a little book of wretched verse, said to me: "I wish yon woidd deal very gently with poets, especially with the weaker ones." Later, I had n bad case of poetio idiocy to deal with, and, as I wns debating the matter in my mind, Mr, Bryant happened to como into my room. I said to him that I tvas embarrassed by his injunction to deal gently with poets, nnd pointed out to him the writhing about the bed from an improvised stomach-ache. "All right," said the ol dlady. "I'll apply a mustard plaster," and in a few minutes a hot mustard plaster containing two sqUaro feet oi motive power was spread Upon the boy's abdomen. "Mother, how long must ^his thing stay on?"

Features Overview: The Russound TBL-75 is a free-standing, 126-watt tabletop volume control with a headphone jack and built-in impedance-matching options. It connects between the speaker outputs of an amplifier or receiver and a pair of speakers and can just provide volume control for a pair of headphones. The TBL-75 adjusts the volume of the speakers connected to it by adjusting the signal from the amplifier to the speakers. Connecting headphones disconnects the speakers in the room for private listening. Precision Autoformers: The Russound tabletop volume controls is made with precision autoformers for high-fidelity sound, excellent frequency response, no heat buildup, and maximum power transfer from the amplifier to the speakers. UltraMatch Impedance Switching: An impedance switch on the TBL-75 allows installers to easily match the load of multiple speaker pairs to the amplifier impedance without the need for a speaker selector or other impedance-matching equipment. When using the TBL-75 in installations with more than one pair of speakers or additional volume controls, the TBL-75 has a rear panel impedance selector switch to be set at 1x, 2x, 4x, or 8x. The 1x setting allows the TBL-75 to be used as a standard volume control. The 2x, 4x and 8x settings allows it to used a an UltrMatch impedance matching volume control.

The volume control worked exactly as advertised and as desired. Pros: Compact design and easy installation Cons: No IR control and instructions re. the impedance switch were a bit confusing Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Very Good Written By Anonymous, Sun City West, AZ on Friday, June 15, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Works very well and is easy to install. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Does what it is supposed to do Written By Old Mosquito Man, North Brunswick, NJ on Tuesday, January 31, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) There really isn't much to say. The Russound TBL-75 sits quietly doing its job of reducing sound levels. For people who have stereo amplifiers with provision for A and B speakers but no volume control for the rear speakers and who want to use those speakers as front and rear speakers in the same room, the Russound is a handy piece of equipment, particularly if your listening position is closer to the rear speakers. The sound level can be adjusted so there is a harmonious whole without being made unpleasantly aware of the rear speakers. Pros: Easy to set up; does its job Cons: None that I could hear.

StraightDC Moore Tue 27 Nov - Sat 22 Dec, 2012
A Sheffield Theatres Production in association with the Bush Theatre
Lewis and Waldorf were inseparable at university. Ten years on and a lot has changed. In the middle of a drunken night out, they make a bet that will take their friendship to whole new level.
Adapted for the stage by award-winning writer DC Moore and directed by Richard Wilson, this is the world première of Straight, a razor-sharp new comedy.
You'll never look at your best friend in the same way again…
Based on the motion picture Humpday, written & directed by Lynn Shelton. Contains adult content and scenes of a sexual nature.

What the papers say
"In short, Straight is a gregarious, flirtatious romp. As corny as it sounds, I have kept thinking about the characters today; such is their vivacity and colour. I might have to visit them again…"
"Director Richard Wilson (whose acting credits include the television crosspatch, Victor Meldrew) honours every thought-provoking nuance of Moore's sharp-witted comedy, and draws virtuoso performances from his young cast in a production that is funny and humane in equal measure"
