Many hours I have spent prac­ticing with :t pistol before my father was killed, and after 1 got father's pistol 1 became more than ever Infatuated with it. How I made such good shooting Mint night I can't say, for I am not what is known ns a good pistol-shot. After I got the mail I started home that night, aud turned into the next building, where, they said, I laid in wait for Dukes, for an entirely different purpose. Coming out. I saw Dukes pass, and the time from the moment I began to shoot till I quit is now, and always has been, a blank to me. 1 did not know how often I fired till I heard from others,. None of my relations ever advised mo to shoot Dukes. On tho contrary, they always wished ho would go where none of us would see him. Boys have advised me to kill him. and I have received letters saying to kill him, hut all my relations advised me not to think of doing such a thing. I don’t know yet what I shall do. I am a great homo boy, and would like to get work where I could be home. I will advise with Mr. Breckenridge, and he may find me something to do."

plosion occurred lu a coal mine of the Col­orado Coal and Iron Company at Created Butte at eight o’clock Thursday morning. Owing to the remoteness of the qilue and the very deep suow no details have arrived at Denver-.

The cause of the explosion Is not definite­ly know, but it Is supposed to be from fire­damp.

The explosion occurred either In chamber one or two, just half an hour after the day forco of sixty-seven men had gone to work.

There were fifty-seven men at work In chambers one and two. All are thought to be killed. Ten men were In chamber four. All escaped except John Angus, who was In the passageway, and was badly burned about the face and body. He will, perhaps, recover.

The explosion was of such forco as to block up the main entry. The fan neat' the main entrance was badly Injured, ami about twenty-five feet of the roof of the tramway lu front of tho main entrance was blown down by the force of the exploslou.

The men at work on the Anthracite Mesa Mine, the night force of tiro Colorado Coal and Iron Company, and citizens generally, have been working hard all day to rescue the men In the mine, although it is thought none can escape alive. As soon as possible the fan was repaired and put to work pumping air into the mine and men were set to work with a well removing the ob­structions, so as to reach the chamber where the men are, and it Is hoped to get the bodies out to-night.

The following are the names of fifty-five of the unfortunates. The other two names have not been learned:

Henry Anderson, John Williams, M.J. Stew­art, John Martin, Thomas Rogers, James O'Nell, Jacob Lunx, John Anderson, James Walsh, Peter Buker, William DavldBon. Rich­ard Janies, David Hughes, P. McManus. W. J. King. John Crcolman, John Hular, Thomas Williams, John Shun, Pat Barrett, John Mc­Gregor, John Myers. F. W. Smith, G- B. Nich­olson, William Maroney, Nick Prohst, Thomas Luffy, John Pricey James Driscoll, James Coughlin, Henry Stewart, B. Heffron, L. P. Heffron, W. L. Jones, John Donnelly, Karl Radwald, Charles Sterling, Thomas Roberts, Jim McCourt, Fred Becht, Jber King, Joseph Wolssnberg. H. Donegan and Joseph Kranst, all miners.

The drivers are James T. Stewart, Jr. Will­iam Neath, Morgan Neath, Thomas Glanoy, John Rutherford, William McCourtt, A. M. Godfrey, Dan McDonald, William Aubrey, Ben Jeffries and Thomas 8tewart.

A great many of the injured men are married, which renders It doubly heart­rending.

A special train benring surgeons and vol­unteers for work left Gunnison for Crested Butte at two o’clock. They have not yel returned, to Gunnison.

The whole town of Crested Butte Is Ip mourning, and crowds of women aud chil­dren cluster about the mine entrance.

It is reported that at the time of the ex plosion there were ten kegs of black powdei in chambers 1 and 2, where the explosion is supposed to have taken place. The mine has three miles of drifting, aud it is there­fore difficult to locate the accident exactly until the rescuing parties can gain admit­tance.

At a late hour Thursday night word was received that there is no hope of rescuing the miners alive.

Wnen the neighbors entered the humble dwelling a terrible spectacle met their eyas. The mother was Insensible, and her children all helpless from tho effects of the deadly drug. Not a morsel of food could be found in the house, and the family were scantily clothed. Tho mother was too proud to beg, and preferred death to poverty. No one m the neighbor­hood knew such a case existed, and, as soon as the facts were made pnblic, help was liberally extended. The physicians say the arsenic was administered in water. Tha mother had not enough to kill all the fami­ly, and in dividing it did not give four of the children a full dose.

the qul vlve yesterday morning to know U there had been a verdict In the Nutt oase. The court met at 9:30 o’clock, and half an hour later It was announced that the jury were ready with their verdict In the court-room there were as many spectator* m ever, and outside as many as ever who could not get In. At ten o’dook sharp the Jury filled in, and when they wer6 seated Judge Stowe sternly warned the audience that, no matter what the verdict might be, there should be no demonstrations of approval or disapproval. Thoae disregarding this Injunction would, he said, be arrested. The prisoner, who was In the dock, was told to stand up. He did so, standing as rigid as a statue, his llpa ap­parently thinner and more colorless than Usual, and hla heavy eyes more heavy. "Gentlemen, have you agreed upon • verdict?” asked Clerk Rowland. “ Wo have,” answered the Jurors. “ Whal say you, guilty or not guilty?”was the next interrogation. “ Not guilty,” replied tbs foreman, and such • shout as went up from the thousand t i voices In the court-room never was heard before, in this county at least The shout entered the mouths of those In wafting, and they proclaimed It as they ran down-stairs, yelling at the top of their voices: "Acquit­ted 1 Acquitted 1” The crowd in waiting upon the street took up the re­frain, and yelled out with might and main: “Acquitted 1” Shop men ran to their doors and joined in the shouting. Judge Stowe was to all appearances as hap py as the happiest A hearty smile illum­inated his face as he left tho bench and shook hands In greeting with a number ed those who had worked aud prayed for ths deliverance of the boy. He never seemed to think once about enforcing the penalty for disobedience of his injunction about or­der.

Nutt was removed to prison to undergo examination which shall establish his pres­ent sanity. He will probably be discharged to-day. Mrs. Nutt and her daughter heard the news as they were alighting from a car­riage in front of the office of their counsel. They were deeply affected. The Jury called on them in a body, and some of the juror* mingled tears with the widow.

Judge Stowe says if the verdict had beeu different he would have been the first to sign a petition for pardon. Everybody In­dorses the result When released, the pris­oner will be taken to the farm of an uncle In Fayette County, and there kept until the excitement has passed away.

They all then began beating Colby, knocking him down and kicking him brutally. A small boy confined in a cell raised an alarm, when Cass threatened to shoot him. The boy hid in a comer under the bed, and kept up the yelling, which attracted the attention of a domestic In the jailer’s family and she closed and locked the outer door. The ten prisoners then climbed through a skylight upon the roof, but the girl had given the alarm and the citizens had gath­ered. Promiscuous firing was begun at the prisoners, and they retreated Into the Jail and were secured In cells.

And mentioned that her aunt was dead.Where did your aunt reside, my dear?

“ Over to Marlbory,” she replied.M She bad been feeble more'n a year,

And last Thanksgiving Day she died;And she died of the shocanum* palsy."My heart within began to melt—

A sudden teardrop forced its way.' You say your a m t in Marlborough dwelt,

And died u{>ou Thanksgiving Day;But what your aunt died of, my dear,

1 did not fully understand.** Well, she was slok about a year—

She had the ringworm on her hand;But sho died of tne shocanum palsy."What sort of palsy, love? said I,

That name I never heard before.This was mv little maid's reply:

More than this ohlld of dying— liamb-llke to see your kin laid low,

Without a thought of sight ogl This creature knew no more of grief

But the black ribbon on her head;Nor of paralysis—in brief.

Sho only knew her aunt was dead,And died of the "shocanum palsy."

One of that adventurous class known as “ prospectors” had, in the'fall of 1881, wandered through thatcountry, following a burro which bore upon its back all his worldly wealth, and had brought into winter quarters in the valley of the Arkansas such promising specimens of brittle and ruby silver that many, seeing them, were in­duced to go in the spring to spy out the land. And so it happened, on a March night in 1882, that a dozen camp-fires were brightly burning, a dozen tents were dimly outlined in the shadows and openings of the stunted pines, and forty or fifty men, in groups of from three to six. were gathered around the fires smoking their eveninj pipes and relating their experiences an wonderful finds of the year before.

Among fifty men brought together from every part of the world, in a wild country, by a purpose born, to some ex­tent at least, of selfishness' and greed, some are likely to be found in whom brutishness predominates. There were several such in the camp at Half-Moon.

The poets say that communion with nature refines and elevates the soul, and leads men onward and upward toward nature’s God. The poets are somewhat •wrong. The kindly spirit born and reared amid the best influences of a city home, where all the surroundings are of a refining character, will become kindlier and better as the years go on; while the dull man will become duller, and the mean man meaner, in the very

firesence and hush of nature. At least t is sometimes so; and it was so with

Bill Lewis.He had seen nature in all her majesty,

moods and aspects far more than thirty years; had traversed the country from the Missouri to the Pacific shore: lunched on the highest summits and camped in the deepest gorges. And yet his depravity was immense! He had been convicted of a dozen crimes, and committed an hundred others with­out conviotion. Each succeeding fall had found him worse in every way than the preceding spring, and those who knew him best frequently remarked upon the new and ever-lnoreasing capabilities for sin which he was constant!}' unfold­ing.

But he was not wholly bad. Perhaps no man ever was. There was a rumor among the miners, credited by a few, that once or twice during his career his rongh voice had become gentler, and the light in his fierce eye softer, when be had been surprised into speaking of his mother. Where he had come from, “ what made him leave,’ ’where his moth­er lived, or whether she lived at all, no one knew or had the hardihood to ask.

There was another man—or rather boy—in that camp; but he could not be seen that evening around any of the fires. He had come into the gulch in a crowd of seven who had been on the trail some twenty days together, and Bill Lewis was another of the seven. His name was Zeno Brown. His com­rades had failed to catoh or compre­hend his first name, and he had come to be called “ L ittle john .”

He would have been remarked any­where in a mining region as one wholly ou t of place, lie was light, delioate and fragile—though seemingly in good health before coming to the gulch—and was illy fitted to meet the vioissitudes of a mountain life. He might Jiave " been bom for an artist or poet, or both; he certainly was never intended for a miner. Everybody except Bill Lewis liked and pitied him. Bill apparently did not hate him; but he despised him for his soft, tender nature; was in the habit of oallUig him “Susie” and “Nel­lie,” and other feminine diminutives, »nd never let pass an oportunlty to hu­miliate and wound him.

In coming into the gulch the party serous trip. Thehad An unusual!

tra il was illy the snow was

deep and soft: they had been compelled to unpaok their animals a score oftimes, and to sleep in wet olothes and wet snow. For all this, however, most of them oared but Uttle. They were not invalid tourists, and they bad orossed the range Jtoo many times in bad weather to be much troubled by one trip more.

Bqt with Little John the oase was different He had never before been thus exposed, and was evidently not sustained to any considerable extent by a hopeful spirit, and he had succumbed. He lay in his tent in his rough blanket bed, sick, prostratod, exhausted. There was no physician there, although most of those men knew something of sick­ness, and in discussing his case, while none could say that he had this or that disease, all agreed that he was “clean gone an’ likely to croak.”

They had been talking of him around the fire when some one, coming from a tent in a grove near by, said:

“ I think Little John ’ll go up to­night. *He’s crazy now, an’ thinks he’s in Ohio; an’ keeps talkin’ of his moth­er.”

Bill Lewis, before silent and sullen, started up at once. “ I ’ll go see the kid.” he said.

He went, and all followed in wonder. Tbfl^bed was warm enough, and soft enough. But it and its surroundings were terribly rough for one like him in his condition The pale face amid the shaggy blankets, lit up by a tallow candle burning in a can; the saddles, ropes, kettles and tools scattered around among the bushes upon the earth floor—all together formed a scene weird and impressive.

As the m tn had said, Little John was delirious and talking of his home and associates away back in Ohio, but most of all his mother, piteously begging her to forgive him for deserting her, and never to believe hhn guilty.

Beyond this brief hint there was noth­ing Intelligible in his sayings. Now and then a word of pity or sorrow was spoken by some one, but not a word of hope, until suddenly Bill Lewis quietly, but firmly and confidentially, re­marked:

“ Pards! that yer kid must be saved. If you fellers have a mind to turn in and help—well an’ good; but, anyhow, that kid's goin’ to be saved for his mother!”

It was thirteen miles east over the range to the nearest cabin. The sum­mit was nearly fourteen thousand feet in height, ana upon it a storm was rag­ing. The spurs to the north and west were utterly impassable. The only way out was down the gulch by the same route over which they had recently come in. Although by this trail there would be no storm, there was worse. There were slides, precipices and diffi­culties innumerable. Besides, it would only lead into the broad valley of the Gunnison. The range must yet be crossed to the east before a railroad town could be reached, or the advan­tages of shelter and medical attendance secured. They believed the boy would die before morning. How, then, could he be saved?

Bill, seeing their questioning looks^ answered them:

“ See here, pards; the boy ain’t near so sick as ye think he is. He's tired, wore out, an’ teetotnlly discouraged; but he's young, ain’t burnt out with whisky!—an’ in my opinion’s more homesick than sick. I ’ve seen ttiem fellers before. If we kin make him un­derstand there’s a chance of his giftin’ home, he’ll hang on so we kin git him home. I ’ll rig a litter on Balaam (Balaam was Bill’s burro), an’ we’ll take him down the valley to Taylor Creek. A couple o’ you fellers kin then cross the range by Brush Creek trail to Copper Creek, an’ git moie fel­lers thar’, an’ meet me an’ the kid on the summit o’ Red Mountain. Ther’s an empty cabin at timber-line on the west o’ Red Mountain, an’ meet me thar’ an hour by sun to-morrow. If yer hustle yer’11 git thar. Yer ought to fetch up by midnight on the sum­mit.”

I t is useless to attempt to convey an idea of what this plan involved.

None but those who have seen these vast stretches of rock and snow—save, perhaps, those who have contemplated for an hour Bromley’s “ Evedasting Snows of Colorado” —qpn appreciate the magnitude of the undertaking. But they knew the boy must die if he re­mained where he was, and as the plan offered a possible chance of success, they adopted i t

They were ready in an hour. Bill rigged a litter upon his burro, as Indians do, and in it placed Little John. At eleven o’clock the procession started down the gulch. There were two men besides Bill. While these went forward and picked out the trail, Bill attended to the litter. Their progress was slow, and their mishaps many, but without serious accident they reached the valley at daylight, and at twelve o’clock were at Taylor Creek.

Little John was no worse. He was partly conscious, and had been made to understand that he was going towards home. Bill’s assist­ants were to leave him at this point, and he delivered a last injunction.

“ Now, pards, let’s have no hitohef.I kin make the cabin in five or six hours easy enough, an' shall stop thar an hour to rest an' warm. If I kin make the next two miles over the sum­mit the thing’s done. If it’s quiet-like, mebbe I km make it. If it storms, God help us! You must be thar at the summit at midnight. If the snow's drifted bad, Balaam can’t make it, an’ we’ll have to carry the boy. When you git thar, if it storms, hunt ’round, an’ yer’U find me an’ Balaam an’ the kid somewhar in the n o w . Now, git; an’— an’—if you ever loved yer m others-- don't you fa ilf’*

The two departed: reached and passedthe summit before daylight had faded; and at six o’clock were in the timber of Copper Creek on the eastern slope. In A few minutes more they were in a *nug oabin by a glowing fire, telling their story to four fearless, big-hearted miners.

Thev all knew Bill Lewis, and thought he could win if any man could; but they had little hope of finding Little John alive. They all, however, willingly made ready to set out. They had eight miles of comparatively easy trail, which they could do in three hours, leaving them two hours in which to climb the two miles from timber-line to Red Mountain summit. Without great dif­ficulty they reached the foot of the slide in the time proposed. But discourag­ing, indeed, was the prospect upon ar­riving there. That dreary waste of snow, snow, nothing but snow, stretch­ing up, up, up, at an angle of seventy degrees, until it laded in the uncertain hgl it; tho wind roaring far above theirheads as it came sweeping over from the other side; all brought a swift sense of their own powerlessness as against the appalling forces of nature, which weighed down and discouraged them drearily.

bne by one they crawled up the fear­ful winding way. Not one had heart to speak or breath to spare. Even min­utes seem long in a time and place like this, and it seemed an age before they saw the top, and, oh, how long before they reached it.

They had hitherto been warm enough. But when they turned the summit the cold west wind chilled them through. There was no snow falling, but the wind was driving and swirling the recent snow in small cyclones of arctic horror around their shrinking forms. In a moment they had abandoned every hope.

There was no Bill Lewis there.There was no council held; there was

no time for that; but instinctively every man rushed forward for some slight shelter. Onward they went, 't i t times easily and rapidly over the hard, old snow, and then straggling through deep drifts, until, some half a mile from the summit, they saw something dark in the snow ahead.

It could be nothing else. But were they alive or dead?

Good, faithft|l Balaam! no man shall abuse thee more! Brave Bill Lewis! Thy sins be forgiven thee!

Bill had worked his way up from the cabin by tramping the snow in front of Balaam, a hundred feet at a time, and going over the ground several times, un­til the animal could pass through, and then repeating for another hundred feet. This he iiad done in biting blast and blinding snow, never faltering, never despairing, for six long hours!

Bill’s greeting was characteristic:“ Well done, pards! 1 know’d you’d

come. The kid was better at the cabin; but whether alive or dead now / don’t know. Look an’ see.”

Little John was alive and warm.“Now, pards, there’s six o’ you.

Balaam’s pretty nigh played out. Shoulder the ends o’ them ’ere poles an’ strike for Caspar’s cabin—first trail to the left after ye strike timber. Balaam an’ I’ll go back to the cabin, an’ come over in the mornin’. You kin wait for me. I ’ll come—for I ’ve learnt sumthin’ at that tirar cabin, an’ I 'm goin’ to see this thing through!”

The six men took up the litter, and Bill and Balaam went back to the cabin at timber-line. They had packed the trail pretty well coming down in line, and so, without special dllliculty, though slowly and wearily, they gained tne summit, and the dreadful and critical fifty feet once passed, they felt that their troubles were ended.

Tlie next morning was a bright one on the eastern slope of the main range. Low clown in the big timber, nestled in a warm nook, with an eastern and southern exposure, was a miner's cabin. Already the water was dripping from the roof-logs which overhung the front; the pile of mineral specimens on the rude shelf beside the aoor sparkled in

“Ther’ ain’t been many nights since, pards, when I wuz sober, that 1 ain’t seen her; au’ pards, so help me God! that night on Red Mountain, she went with me from the cabin a t timber-line, an’ all the while, baok’arde and for- ’ords, she walked beside tne, an’ helped me pack that ther’ trail, until ye came. Then she went away. I could never done it alone, pards—never!

“ Well, this kid wuz clear-headed at the cabin on t ’other side, au’ him an’ me talked an’ talked. We’vo talked here. An’, you see, he was a clerk or somethin’ in a bank, back in Ohio; an’ there was money stole! They took him up for stealin’ it; but somehow they couldn’t prove it on him, an’ had to turn him loose. But many people said he stole it all the same, an’ he couldn't bear the disgrace, an’ so come to the mountains. His mother’s poor. What he got in the durned bank wuz all both on ’em had. Since he come to P’eblo he’s foun’ out who did steal that money. But he hain’t got a shiner to go back with an’ set himself right. That’s how he’s here.

“ Now, pards, I’ve got nineteen thousand oad in the Leadville Bank, paid in on my Beiden sale I hain’t

blow it in. So I’m goin’ to send that kid home, an’ give ten thousan’ to his mother. The balance is a big enough stake fur me; an’ then, ye see, if I do a good thing for his mother may be it’ll count agin the infernal meanness I did mine! So we’ll take him down to Hay­den's, an’ one o’ you can stay with him an’ t ’other go up with me to Leadville an’ get some money an’ a draft—I’ve

S>t her name an’ vvliar she lives—an’ en we’ll come back an’ send him

home, an’ send the draft to his mother. D’ye see?”

Three days afterwards they put Little John in a sleeping-car, with a ticket1 and fifty dollars in~his pocket, and on the same day a draft for ten thousand dollars was mailed to his mother in a letter of remittance signed: “ A n U n­k n o w n F r ie n d . ”

Two hours afterwards Bill Lewis in­sulted a respectable stranger and pro­voked a light at the railroad station, and before morning was arrested for Cutting a man in a gambling house.— William B. Parsons, in ’Lne Current (Chicago).

Little John had already made his way to these stranger’s hearts.

He was not delirious now. But he was pale, and wore a hopeless look that was pitiful. No one of them thought he had yet come oi»t from the dark shadow, and there was a sadness in their faces and a hush in their voices.

After a few hours Bill came. The miners proposed to go to the railroad station for a physician and such deli­cacies as mining camps do not af­ford. Bill accepted the proposition in regard to the delicacies, but insisted^ that be kimself would be nurse and

boy rapidly improved, and at the end of the week Bill called the two Half-Moon men ont for a little talk.

“ H evyer got any plans ’bout this kid?”

On the floor in one of the rooms of the Norwalk Iron-Works Company is a long, heavy cylinder. Its length is about twenty-eight feet and the diameter of the bore is about four inches. In another department men are at work constructing an air- compressor. When the latter is com­pleted it will be connected with the tube mentioned above, and what the inventor confidently believes will be a most tremendous engine of war will be completed and ready for trial. Several years ago, while in Washington, a gen­tleman from Ohio heard a naval officer say that if a gun could be constructed that would throw dynamite it would thoroughly revolutionize modern war­fare. Mr. Mitfin—that was the gentle­man’s name—proceeded at once to in­vent such a gun, and he has reason to be­lieve that it will be a perfect success. It would not do to use powder as a pro­pelling power, for its sudden action would explode the dynamite cartridge at the start and blow the gun to atoms. Compressed air at a pressure of about three hundred pounds to the square inch will take the place of powder, and the gun now in South Norwalk is ex­pected to throw a three-pound cartridge a distance of two miles, imagine tne effect of a cartridge of even so small a weight striking the side or deck of a vessel or the ramparts of a fort. The explosion would be terrible in its re­sults. If the gun is a success, others of Bize sufficient to throw one hundred pounds of dynamite ten miles will be constructed. The gun, loaded with sand instead of dynamite, will be tested in South Norwalk at an early day in the presence of naval officers, scientific men and others.— Norwalk (Conn.) Hour.

“ Mining is an exciting business,” said an old prospector. “ There is a sort of hopeful inspiration about it, that when a miner ‘ puts in a shot’ his hopes may be forever blasted as well as the rock, or it may be the result of disclos­ing riches that will encourage him to still pursue the downward course with bright expectations of striking rich pay. While the various other occupations man may follow arc different, there is a chance in the dim future that the miner may revel-in all the luxuries that wealth can give. The illustrations that have been given us in the past prove that any man who follows mining continuously may at some time make a strike.

“ The history of the bonanza kings for the last thirty years is that they were oqe day poor, and they did not get their riches because they were smarter than others, but simply through what is sometimes called • dumb luck.’ There is a fascination about mining that when a man once gets started he never likes to stop until he makes a ‘ raise,’ and even then some will not stop until tlioy either double their money or lose it all. Mining is a business in which more money can be mode in a shorter time than any other. A roan will mako when he least expects, and will lose in the same manner. A man should know something of the business, and by being careful, using good judgment, the chances are not so great to lose, but every ohanco to gain.” —Denver Tribune. -■ ■ - --- ■

T he French Figaro publishes the fol­lowing amusing incident, which is said to have taken place during oner ol the state dinners at Berlin, and at which the late Lord Beaoonsfield and the Marquis

-of Salisbury were present:Prince Bismarck, who is well known

to be a great eater, filled his plate with •cherries; the Marquis of Salisbury ob­served i t

“ Prince,” said he, suddenly, “ what yon are doing is very unhealthy."

‘•W hat?” said Frinoe Bismarck, in •astonishment .

“ You have just swallowed two oher- ry-s tones "

“ You are mistaken,” said the Prince, w ith marked coldness.

“ Never!” .replied Salisbury, with that ^hauteur which characterises the proud English aristocracy.

“ Monsieur le Marquis!” said Bis­marck, his eyes shooting fire.

I t was at this moment that Lord Bea- -consfield came to the rescue.

“ Perhaps,” he insinuated, in his seft- •est voice, “ you are both right; your Highness must be so occupied with se­rious thoughts that you might inad­vertently have swallowed a tiny stone.”

“ Two!" interrupted Salisbury, in a decided tone.

“ Or two," continued Lord Beacons­field. as calmly as possible; “ and you, any dear Lord and colleague, enjoy such

Wedding Fashions Among Canadian Peasants.

goodNow,

L sight that nothing escapes you. ow, Prince and Marquis, will yon

allow me to decide this difficult ques Hon?"

“ How?” murmured Bismarck.“ Your plate,Highness, if you please."This last was in English, the corre­

spondent adding that Lord Beacons- field was the only diplomatist at Berlin who never talked French. The plate w as sent to Lord Beaconsfield, who at •once emptied the contents on the table. All eyes were now fixed on him. With his long, bony, agile fingers, covered with precious stones, he began to ar­range what looked more like a ohild’sgame than an occupation worthy of such a distinguished Minister. He put all the stones in a line, and placed astem on each stone. Then, in that clear, piercing voice that has so often moved the House of Commons, the English Prime Minister began to count one, two, three, and so on to forty-seven stones, and likewise with the stems, till he had

•countedforty-nine. The proof was there —two stones were wanting.

Bismarck rose and said, in an agitated voice: “ Marquis, you are right!” then, turning, said in a loud voice: “ Lord Beaconsfield, you are a great man!”

Bronco Sam.Speaking about cow-noys, Sam Stew­

art, known from Montana to Old Mex­ico as “ Bronco Sam,” was the chief. His special delight was to break the warlike heart of the vicious wild pony «of the plains, and mfcke him the servant of man.

There may be joy in a wild gallop across the boundless plains, in the crisp morning, on the back of a fleet bronco; but when you return with your ribs .sticking through vour vest, and find •that your nimble steed has returned to town two hours ahead of you, there is a tinge of sadness about it all.

Bronco Sam, however, made a spec­ialty of doing all the riding himself. He wouldn’t enter into any compromise and allow the horse to ride him.

In a reckless moment he offered to bet ten dollars that he could mount and ride a wild Texan steer. The money w as put up. That settled it. Sam 'never took water. This was true in a -double sense. Well, he climbed the• cross-bar of the corral-gate, aud asked the other boys to turn out their best

. steer, Marquis of Queensbury rules.As the steer passed out, Sam slid

• down and wrapped those parenthetical (legs of his around that nigh-beaded, ‘'broad-horned brute, and he rode him till the fleet-footed animal fell down on the buffalo grass, ran his hot red tougue out across the blue horizon, shook his tail convulsively, swelled up sadly and died.

I t took Sam four days to walk back.A ten-dollar bill looks as large to me

as the star-spangled banner, sometimes; but that is an avenue of wealth that had

“ Mile, me; I’m candle-li, dren, an Will you

The chief social event of thei* lives ie a wedding—almas: the only set occa­sion of festivities. The priest then per­mits dancing among relatives, ana al­lows unusual expenses to be incurred. But, to begin at the beginning, bo/f and girls generally see but little of one another, separated as they are in col­leges and convents, and subsequently having but formal meetings, closely supervised by parents. The priest di­rects that courtship shall bo very short and civ u inspect. I t generally lasts hut a few months; engagements are made very much after the pecuniary interests followed in France, and the marriages generally ocour at from eighteen to twenty-two years of age.

A widower of this place recently went to spend the evening with a neighbor, whose sister was an old maid whom no one had thought of marrying. When he left the house her brother suggested that he should marry her. They re­turned to the house and went together to her bed, in one corner of the room, and woke her up. Holding the candle up to his face he said:

G----- , take a good look atrather worse than 1 seem by ht, and I ’ve nine small ohil-

not a great deal of land, marry m e?"

She rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, looked him over a moment, and said:

“ Yes.”“ Then be ready next Tuesday."In another case, the day after the

banns of marriage had been published here, the intended found his betrothed crying by the window.

“ What’s the matter, MariaP”“Well, Baptist, my sister Louise

wants very much to marry, because Bhe’s older, and it’s her turn first. And it makes me sad to see her disappointed. Now if you would only marry her! Ev­erything is ready, you know, and it wouldbe such a relief.”

“Well, well, don’t cry about that,” said ho, with a moment’s surprise. “I don’t mind if I do. Go and tell her to get ready.”

The Church forbids the union of blood-relations, but it sells for a moder­ate price permits for even first cousins to marry, so that consanguineous unions are very common in these old parishes, where families have kept increasing and settling near the old homestead till they form clans sometimes numbering several hundred of one name. More­over, the priest permits such marriages sometimes in consideration of certain circumstances, such as the needs of a family for a step-mother, or step-father, the lack of beauty reducing the chances of a woman to get another offer, or the advance of age, or the poverty of a woman. — C. H. Farnham, in Harper's Magazine.

Going Back to the Floating Chip.

One of the earliest English poets has a stanza like this:

Ye lodeatone on ye little ohtppe Doth serve to guide ye mighty shippe By ever pointing to ye pole:Thus conscience serves to guide th ‘ soul.“Is it true that the original ship’s

compass was made of * lodestone ?’ ” was asked of a dealer in compasses and chronometers’.

“ Yes. Magnetic iron ore on a bit of wood floating in a bowl of water is said to have been the original compass. There are old sailors living now who can remember when the needle was at­tached to a piece of wood floating m a bowl. The first attempt at improve­ment was to attach the needle to a card on which the thirty-two points of the compass were marked. The card was balanced at its center on a hardened steel point or pivot, the cap that rested on the point being made of agate, gar­net or sapphire, to reduce friotion. The pivot was erected from the center of the bottom of a bowl that was sus­pended in what are called gimbals, an arrangement of rings and pivots which kept tue top of the bowl, and therefore the compass card, always horizontal, whatever the ship’s position. The

reat point at which the manufacturer oped to arrive was such an arrange­

ment of the. various parts of the com­pass as would leave the needle in its position undisturbed when the ship •swung around. The most perfect con­struction of the pivot and its cap was found faulty in that the point eventually wore down a collar, so that the card moved with the ship.

“The latest device for a compass is a return to the old ‘lodestone’ and chip principle. Instead of a single bit ol steel, there are six ribbons of cast steel secured to a card that is made of tin with air compartments in it. This card is floated on a bowl of water tinctured with spirits. The spirits are to prevent freezing. The card revolves on a pivot of tue best construction. The .pivot is to keep the card from touching the sides of the bowl. The water supports all the weight of the card, except a few grains, so that no wear comes on the pivot. If you ever whirled a pail of water with a stick in it you noticed that the stick remained stationary while the pail went round. The card in the bowl remains on the meridian while the ship jibes about or opines up into the wind.’’—N. T. Sun.

House Dresses, Collar.-, Etc.House dresses of fine soft wool stuff-

are made up without crosswLo draper, in the straight lines, and when worn over a large touroure these are uuite ample enough to look well under a long dolman, or redingote, or gathered pe­lisse, when the wearer goes out to walk. Chuddah, oamel’s-hair or oashmere of dark red, golden brown, gray, bronze or blue Is ahosen for such a dress, with bauds of two-inch velvet ribbon of a darker shade across the front, and wider bias velvet for the sides, cuffs and ooUar. A pretty design for such a dress has the front in princesse style, with the middle part representing a Breton vest that extends from neck to foot, and is crossed with bands of vel­vet ribbon. On each side of this vest the wool stuff is gathered in at the neck and waist, and arranged in three organ plaits in the space between. Be­low the waist these plaits spread out like a fan to the foot of the skirt. The sides of the front extend plainly over the hips, and fall thence without trim­ming to the floor. The baok is out off just Below the ourve of the waist line, and a breadth and a half of straight ma­terial is gathered in a full roll, and tails without drapery, but is tacked into graceful folas by stitches underneath that attach it to a foundation skirt of silk. The only semblance of drapery (and that is often omitted) is a baud of velvet ten inches wide, which is sewed in the side seams low on the hips, and falls diagonally toward the front, where it is folded in loops, and has two short ends that hang as low os the knees. This band crosses the fronts, and the loops are placed on the right side, where they are ornamented by a large old silver bnckle.

The only ornament on i be waist is the high standing oollar of velvet and the deep turned-over cuffs. A dress similar to this has been made of white chuddah shawls, aud the velvet is of the brightest shade of golden brown. The same design is also used for mourning dresses of Henrietta cloth or of luster­less armure silk, and bands of crape were employed instead of velvet trim­mings.

Very high standing collars are now added to dresses instead of the* narrow inch-wide collars lately worn; high ruffs and flaring Medicis collars are re­stored to favor with high coiffures. It is no unusual thing to see a standing velvet band two inches wide added to wool dresses that are trimmed with velvet. These bands meet at their lower edge, but flare open elightly above, and are square-cornered a t the top. A very narrow linen co’lar, lisse frill or Fedora puff is worn above these velvet collars on plain dresses, but lace frills an<l beaded Medicis col­lars of rich toilets are again worn very high. —Harper's Bazar.

HOME, FARM AND

A Bill Against Wrecking.

There has long been a tradition in and about IV all street that the average stockholder exists chieliy for the pur pose of paying assessments and enabling speculative railroad and other corpora­tions to phlebotomize him ad libitum^ but it is true, nevertheless, that the stockholders, if pressed too severely, will turn as quickly as the rat in a cor­ner. When Governor Cleveland was in this city some weeks ago, studying the eddies and currents of spet ulation in order to get material for his annual message, he obtained som« light on this subject, and lie did not i lil to util­ize it in that document, in urging such legislative a tion as will prevent unlim­ited breaches of trust by railroad cor­porations which, as he alleges, have, in many cases, grown to be great specu­lative bodies, whose directors make money while • the stockholders lose jt. He thinks it is a hollow mockery to Tu- rect the owner of a small amount of stock in one of these institutions to seek a remedy in the courts, inasmuch as, under existing statutes, the law’s delay leads but to despair. Hence he inti­mated his readiness to sign a bill which would provide a simple, easy Way for the people whose money is invested in the stock of such corporations to dis- oover (1) how the funds are spent, and (2) to indicate some process whereby, if these have been squandered by misuse of corporate powers, the deficit will be made good to the parties injured thereby.

Pursuant to this recommendation it is ascertained that during the recess of the Legislature a bill has been drawn up by eminent counsel well skilled in the'sinuosities of railroad law and rail­road stock wreckage which will meet the case and, with a powerful public op­inion behind it, there is a fair prospect of itsfpassage at this session. It will tnen beimpossible to repeat, for instance, Erie bankruptcies, “freezing” the stockhold­ers out of their property, or compelling them to pay sweeping assessments for the benefit of other persons, aud it will likewise be a less easy matter than it is at present for Wall street magnates to make a business of purposely driving corporations into insolvency, in order that they may profit by the wreck. The unhappy stockholder thus far has a fair chance of having some rights which these gentlemen will be obliged to re- speot As things Btand at present they are aocustomed to look upon 1dm sim­ply as an eel to be skinned.—Philadel­phia Ledger.

A Corner in Small-Pox.There is a physician in Washington,

D. C., who, at tne moment of penning these lines, is in a badly demoralized condition. He has been speculating in small-pox and the deal has gone against him. He has been toying with small­pox options, and has had to put up too many margins, so many, in fact, tha t he Is now pretty thoroughly cleaned out, financially, and the neighborhood in which he resides is terror-stricken for fear that he will go to practicing again.

To stoop from dizzy, high-flown metaphor, and come down among the barnyard fowls of rhetoric, this Wash­ington doctor has lost six thousand dol­lars in the small-pox business. The Washington doctor reasoned that for the past three consecutive years the United Statos had been singularly free from any virulent visitations of small­pox, and after figuring with some Wash­ington weather prophets, who occasional, ly have time to dabble a little with a few extraneous falsehoods outside of their regular profession, he made up his mind that this winter would witness a small-pox epidemic which would bore pits into the arms of the gnarled oaks of the forest like a red-headed wood­pecker. .

The Washington doctor resolved to corner it. So he drew his little six thou­sand dollars out of the bank, purchased a small farm up the Potomac, and stocked the small-pox ranch with cows and geese, the cows to breed virus, and the geese to grow quills with which to can it for family use. All last season the doctor was as busy as a bee tapping bis oows for virus, and plucking ins geese for quills. He filled up his barn with loaded quills, and it was only when he was down to his last one hundred dol­lars that he commenoed to look around for the visible supply of small-pox.

But it was not visible. To any alarm ­ing extent small-pox had not reared its horrid front on the horizon of any com­munity in the United States. On the contrary, the various answers which he has invariably received from local Boards of Health with whom he has communicated have tall been in one strain: “No small-pox in sight. Town perfectly healthy.’f

Accordingly the Washington small­pox specialist begins to look down i n . the month, his heart sinks liice a plum­met, and hope and his one hundrea dol­lars are ebbing fast away. He find8 that he is on the wrong side of the market, that the small-pox has gone back on him, and that, so far from be­ing a regular visitor who can be de­pended on to drop in a t stated intervals, it,is inclined to be variable and erratio in its movements. ,

If a small-pox wave should eventual­ly sweep over the land, and any parties are axious to go prospecting for virus, we have no doubt that the Washington doctor will willingly grab-stake them and let them sink sh u ts all over his farm on the Potomac fiats. In the meantime his new sign reads: “Going out to do day’s work taken in here.” — Texas Stylings.

Beaaarkable Oaaarranca Ha Daaarlbaa.Sr. Albans, Vt., Jan. 10,1084.

M etert. E ditors: Tba uppar portion of Verm ont is one of the p leasantest regions In Am erica d u rin g Jh e sum m er and one of the bleakest during th s w inter. I t affords am ple opportun ity for the tourist, provid­ing he chooses the p roper season, but th s present time la no t th a t season. Still them are men and women hem who not only en­dure the clim ste, but praise It unstin ting- ly , and th a t, too, in the faoe of physical hardships the m ost intense. The w rite r heard of a strik ing illu stra tion of th is a tew days since which Is glveii herew ith:

Joseph Jacques is connected w ith th e V erm ont C entral R ailroad in the capaolty of M aster Mason. He is well advanoed in

bearing is

Lungs were it aid not

y^prs, with a ruddy com plexion and hale appearance, while nis general bearing is such as to In stan tly im press one w ith his s tr ic t honor and in tegrity . Several yearn ago he became afflicted w ith most d istress­ing troubles, which prevented the prosecu­tion of his duties. He was languid and y e t restless, w hile a t tim es a d is iln e s . would oome over him which seemed alm ost blinding. His w ill power w as strong, and he determ ined not to give w ay to the m ys­terious influence whicn seemed underm in­ing his life. B nt the pain an d annoying sym ptom s were stronger than his w ill, ana he kept grow ing g radually worse. About th a t tim e he began to notice a difficulty in d raw ing on bis boots, and it was by the g reatest effort th a t he was able to force bis feet into them. In this m anper several weeks passed by, until finally one night, while in g reat agony, he discovered th a t his feet had, in a short while, swollen to enormous proportions. The balance of the n arra tiv e cap best be described in his own words. He sa id :

“ W hen m y wife discovered the fact th a t I was so bloated, she sent for the doctor im m ediately. He made a most careful ex ­am ination and pronounced me In a very serious condition. N otw ithstanding h u care, I grew worse, and the swelling of m y feet g radually extended upw ard in m y body. The top of m y head pained me te r­rib ly ; Indeed, so badly th a t a t times i t seemed alm ost us if it would burst. My feet were pain fully cold, and even when surrounded w ith hot flannels and Irons felt as if a strong w ind were blowing on them. N ext m y righ t leg became paralysed. This gave me no pain, but it was exceedingly annoying. A bout th is tim e I began to sp it blooa most freely, although m y luni In perfect condition, and 1 knew come from them . My physicians were careful and un tiring in their atten tions, but unable to relieve m y suffer­ings. My neighbors and friends thought I was dying and m any called to see me, fu lly twenty-five on a single Sunday th a t I now recall. A t last my agony seemed to culm inate in the m ost intense, sharp pains I have ever know n or heard of. If red hot knives sharpened to the highest degree had been run through m y body constantly they could no t have hu rt me worse. I would spring up in bed, sometimes as much as three feet, cry out in my agony and long for death. One night the misery was so intense th p t I arose and attem pted

•to go into the nex t room, but was unable to lift m y swollen feet above the little threshold th a t obstructed them. 1 fell back upon the bed and gasped In my agony, but felt unable even to breathe. I t seemed like death.

“ Several years ago Rev. Dr. J. E. R an­kin, now of W ashington, w as stationed here as pastor of tne C ongregational Church. We all adm ired an a respected him, and m y wife rem em bered seeing somewhere th a t he had spoken in the high­est term s of a prepara tion which had cured some of his in tim ate friends. We de­term ined to t ry this rem edy, accordingly sen t for it, and, to make a long story short, it com pletely restored ray health, brought me back from the grave, and 1 owe all I have in the way of health and strength to W arner’s Bsfe Cure, better known as W arner’s Safe K idney and Liv­e r Cure. I am positive th a t if I had taken th is medicine when I felt the first sym p­toms above described, I m ight have avoid­ed all the agony I a fte rw ard endured, to say noth ing of the narrow escape I had from death .’’

in order th a t a ll possible facts bearing upon the subject m ight be known, I called on Dr. Oscar F. Fassett, who was for nine­teen years United S ta tes Exam ining Sur­geon and who attended Mr. Jacnues during his sickness. He stated th a t Mr. Jacques had a most pronounced case of A lbum in­uria or B right’s disease of the kidneys. That an analysis showed the presence of albumen and casts in g reat abundance and th a t he was in a condition where few, If any , ever recover. His recovery was due to W arner’s Safe Cure.

Mr. John W. H obart, General M anager of the V erm ont C entral R ailroad, s ta ted th a t Mr. Jacques was one of the best and m ost faithful of his employes, th a t his sickness had been an exceedingly severe one and the com pany were not only g lad to again have his services, but grateful to the rem edy th a t hud cured so valuable a man. -

Mr. Jam es M. Foss, A ssistant Superin­tendent and M aster Mechanic of the Ver-

. m ont Central R ailroad, is also able to con firm this.

I do not claim to be a gr eat d i. -overer, but I do think I have found in the a Dove a most rem arkable case and knowing the unusual increase of B righi’s disease feel tha t the public should nave the benefit of it. I t seems to me a rem edy that can accomplish so much in the last stages ought to do even more for the first approach 'of th is decep­tive yo t terrib le trouble. F. B.

Ten days before his death Lincoln- dream ed th a t “ the P resident” lay dead to the W hite House, “ killed by the hand o f an assassin.” W hen his wife heard of tha- tragedy she exclaim ed: “ His dream w as prophetic!” The m ajority of dream s, how­ever, a re never lulfllied—they are too fan­tastic , or they are solved by contrary ' events. People are often possessed of th e idea th a t they shall soon die. They find- themselves the subject of strange feelings. They know they are not what ihey ono*- were, and as they approach ceriain ages th ey are quite sure they will not “ be long of earth .” These im pressions as a rule a re the resu lt of an im agination disordered by disease, bat th ey can be shaken off by

Srom pt and thorough measures. \ \ e are- )ld th a t very m any diseases can be p re ­

vented; indeed, half the deaths are said to- be preventable l Hence the im portanco o f alw ays ac ting prom ptly in every personal emergency.

These thoughts find ap t illustration in th e ease of Justice W illiam Moul, of W est Bandlake, N. Y ., so well known in T roy- For years he was plagued by forebodtogs-- that he was doomed to an early death. H e - had dull and flitting pains in various p a r t s - of the body, his com plexion was b aa , h is appetite was variab le ; he fe lt w eary w ith ­out known cause, was constan tly consti­pated, his tongue w as heavily coated, a n d frequent feverish disorders appeared. H e struggled m anfully but in vain ag a in s t w hat seemed to be a certain doom. Then followed extrem e tenderness and pain in the back, g reat lassitude, g ravelly aeposito , in w ater, which was dark, fro thy and odor­ous, all indicating liver and kidney d iso r­ders. These developments alarm ed him , especially since physicians did him no good. About giving up in despair, he fol­lowed the counsel of one of the Suprem e • Court Justices to use Dr. David K ennedy 's < Favorite Remedy (of Rondout, N. Y .,) as an experim ent. He did so and the fore­bodings vanished 1 I t scattered all his bad feelings, revived his appetite, restored bis liver and kidneys, renewed his blood, in­creased his weight by tw enty pounds, and to it alone he gives the cred it of saving h is life.

Dreams and w arnings and forebodings o f ' early death need not alw ays be fulfilled i f proper measures are prom ptly taken to de­feat them.

The fact is well understood that the MEXI CAN MUS­TANG LINIMENT is by far the best external known for man or beast. The reason why becomes an “ open secret” when we explain that “ Mustang” penetrates skin, flesh and muscle to the very bone, removing all disease and soreness. No other lini­ment does this, hence none other is so largely used or does snch worlds of good.

Au Eastern p u b lic a t io n n o t lo n g ago printed a most d e l ig h tf u l a r t ic le fro m the pen of President Porter, its s u b je c t being the “ N ew E n g la n d M ee tin g - House,” which the author considers to be the s y m b o l o f much that is charac­te r is t ic of N ew England life, as it has been the rallying point for nearly every­thing distinctive m the New England communities. Out of the church grew the to w n , or, rather, the town was e v o lv ed or developed along with the church. The church was the germ and the meeting-house the center of the s e lf -'governed commonwealth. The name “meeting-house” is significant. The edifice was used for religious and civic transactions, and, to the early New Englander both were equally solemn and sacred. There was no warrant in. scripture for calling au edifice a church.

President Porter gives au extremely interesting account of the way in which the original structures werd built, and of the gradual variations of the original type as years went on. The erection o f the Old South Church in 17*29-30 was the most important advance in the evolution of the New Engla.id meeting-, house, and became the typ.oal model of j

'all such places of worship for nearly a century. Among the best of the edifices | of this type which survive are the sanot- uaries in Farmington ayd Westfield, j (The latter has just now lost many of its quaint features by “restoration.)”

With the present century and its ad­vance in wealth and culture, the meet­ing-house began to assume a form more like that of London church architect­ure, pnd of this sort of work we have admirable specimens in Park Street Church, Boston, the Center and North churches in New Haven, and those in Guilford, Springfield, and elsewhere.

The first steeple in Connecticut was erected in Guilford in 1720,

The interior of the meeting-houses was bare and unattractive. Pews were | of slow growth. There were no means j of lighting them until singing schools made it necessary to introduce candles and rude chandeliers. Nignt meetings in riiese snnnfcnaries were not approved. There were no stoves fo /^ long time, | and at first no foot-stones* , The New England meeting-house was not cially warmed until from 1810 to 1820. President Porter remembers such scenes as, he says, “makes us shiver as we | think of them. Of a cold winter morn­ing the breath of the worshipers notun- frequt ntly would seem like smoke from au hundred furnaces as it came in con­tact with the frosty atmosphere.” These severities were mitigated by the free hospitality of the houses near the meeting-hoqge. Enormous kitchen fires were kept blazing, around which scores of people gathered to thaw themselves out and eat their luncheons. At sum­mer noous the farmers would gather in knots here and there, and the wbmen would get together in groups, amb-thev had a very cozy and gossipy tiifie t?

In some families there was a day house erected near the sanctuary, with ample fireplaces for the comfort of worshipers.

The meeting-house usually was the central building in the village, as being the most important. I t stood within or fronting the ‘‘green.” Roads radiated from it. Tt was n<d until a later ilr.te that the sanctuary was placed uj>on the high hill, where it could he seen afar, and so that several of these meeting­houses were within range of vision, guarding, like sentinels, the hill coun­try. President Porter gives a faithful and charming description of the spirit­ual churches that had their homes in thesi "plain meeting-houses. They, at first, had no written creed, though their views of truth lacked neither definite­ness nor positiveness. Their pastors were settled for life, and when meeting­house was built and pastor settled, “a golden candlestick was set up” in that place.

The meeting-house must needs be “seated”—places assigned to each mem­ber of the community! In N©w Haven’s first meeting-house the sexes were sep­arated, and the seating was according to rank and dignity. The doctrine of equality in place, station and honor in church and Btate was no p art of the Puritan creed. In the first generations attendance on worship was enforced. There was then compulsory publio worship as now we have compulsory education of children. Until the year 1818, in Connecticut, and till some years later in Massachusetts, every citi­zen was compelled to support some religions organization by a tax on his estate. Thus was formed the excellent habit of regular attendance at the sanctuary on the Lord’s day.
