Gener a] Law ton in the morning took a battalion of the 11“. ur-teenth regiment and two companies of the Twenty-first regi- ment to locate the rebel battery and then two guns of the Sixth artillery and four mountain guns were planted against it at (1'00 y'aids distance. The rebels had :1 large gun, from which they were firing homemade (anister load- ed with 11. Ills. They also had two smaller guns. Their shooting was 1110st accurate. The first lot of canister burst directly in front of Scott’s guns. and another shattered the legs of. a private in the Fourteenth infantry. Several shots struck the edge of the town. The country tra versed was as bad as it is possible to imagine, being mainly la- goons, mud and water fringed with ham- boos. As soon as the fighting opened the, Americans were attacked by hidden rifle- mcn on all sides. even tho amigos, or “friendly natives,” in the houses of the town, shooting at them.

The soldiers withdrew to the water’s edge, finding what shelter they could, and were picked off rapidly. After their ammunition was nearly exhausted the two companies retreated, but General Lawton dashed down and rallied the men. A little group made a desperate stand. General.Lawton, Major Starr and Lion- tenants Donovan and Connolly taking rifles from the wounded men and firing at the enemy, the general officers bring— ing down some of the rebel sharpshoot- ers from a tree. Finally their cartridges were all gone. and they were forced to break through the enemy’ s flank, carr1ing the wounded to the main body of the t1 OU'h Lieutenant Donovan, whose leg was broken, floundercd for a mile' through a hog. leading his men in the face of a gr'eat11 supeiior force. General Lawton ceased fighting until re enf01 cements could be brought up. Two battalions of the Fourteenth regi- ment and one battalion of the Ninth reg- iment were hurried to the front. and in the afternoon the battle was resumed. General Lawton called out the whole force of 3,000 men, and at 5 o’clock he was only able to push the insurgents back 500 yards to the Zapote river, where they are intrcuchcd. The insurgents resisted desperately and aggressively. They attempted to turn the lcft flank of the American troops. The American loss is conservatively es- timated at 110. .

The India Riots. BOMBAY, June 14.—The riots which broke out last week in the Tinnevelly district of the Madras presidency be- tween the'Maravars and Kullars on the one hand and the Shamuri on the other are assuming alarming proportions. They have already spread over an area of 100 square miles. Several more large villages have been burned almost under the eyes of the troops who were sum- moned from Trichinopoly. The soldiers scarcely succeeded in saving the lives of the villagers. The risings and burnings continue. 1 Naval Movements. ‘VASHINGTON, June l4.-—The Peo- ria has gone out of commission at Bos-~ ton.

Little'vlllinol- Girl Possesscs All the Instincts and Cunning of :1 Sure- Enong'h Trapper. "’ Salem, 111., claims the youngest rabbit. hunter in the state; and a. girl at that. Helen McMackin, 51/2 years old, says Leslie’s Weekly, is certainly a. prodigy. To see her snugly nestled on the couch. in the library, looking intently at the pictures in some book, one would never imagine her either a hunter or a dog fancier; she is both, and the champion 'dog' catcher of the town. She can lasso any strange canine with the dexterity of a. cowboy lassoing a Texas stéer; and, 3323353)) ‘ urn-cyr-nrrnm-‘lem %\ H ///V /(111 WK (4/ Miss HELEN M'MACKIN.

She does not go in search of the small quad- ruped of the hare tribe as the Nimrod, with a. loaded gun, but takes only her dogs. From the time she was three years of age, and had a rabbit “trced” under a. little rustic bridge near her home, she has at intervals during the season trudged over hills and through fields with a bevy of- dogs in search of rabbits. And she gets them, too. Should she be unsuccessful during one of :her jaunts her imagination is so vivid that in her mind she has killed all sorts of wild animals, which is as ex- citing as a. sure-enough rabbit. Helen left. her cradle with her imagination at. fever heat, and has never £1110ch it to cool. .It goes without saying that Helen is a “tom-boy,” but. a. very lovable one, possesssing strong convictions as to the right, and adhering with astonishing tenacity thereto. Her peculiarities. combined with nobility of character, make Helen a very attractive little girl. INTENSIVE FKRMIIV G. A Few Acres Well Cultivated Are Better Than a. Large “rm . Snperficially Tilled. As sobn as we learn in this country that fewer acres better cultivated are better than many acres carelessly cul- tivated, the greater will be the profits original cheapness bf our farming lands have been a. detriment to us agricul- turally. Thousands got their farms at $1.25 an acre, and even less, added to the original claim as rapidly as possible, and engaged in farming “all out doors.” Almost necessarily such farming is loosely done. When there are but few acres under cultivation, they must be made to produce what we need, and they can be with less expenditure of time and effort. The English farmer compels his few acres to yield as much of our many acres do, because his sys- tem is more perfect. The forms of the future. will be smaller. The time will. come—after we are gone—when herds will not rove over great fields, but will be soiled; when the wheat-and corn 'crops will be made to more than double the present average yield, and when farming will be‘ k‘SS irksome because its operation will be more contracted in every respect. If these things will be profitable and desirable then, why would they not be profitable and de- sirable now ?—Western Plowman. Pickles Tye consume.
