It was but sehlom that .'ltiytlilng oc curred to nilllc t lie placM course of events in Last Chance Btu', but one bright summer morning in 71 the little population was in a lever of ex citement. Big Jake, the gambler, and I.iiL-ky Joe, who wiis working a bill claim" up Bear Hun Gnlch, bail (jn.tr reletl over tbeir tups and winnings the night bciore aal had vowcil they would commence hostilities at sight. Accordingly, when Big .Take, who was sunning hinv-df in front of the saloon on this irticularly pleasant morning, saw Jo strolling down the street towards t!ie saloon, lie rose, stretched hiinsch, crossed lazily over to the other side and walked slowly towards bis man. Doth lielligerenU were divested of all tin necessary cloth ing and each was gli ded with a belt which supported a large army revol ver. As nobody cured to be in the line of tins (he two men bad the street to themselves, and as they approached each other on ophite sides, each kept bis eye riveted 011 every motiou of the other, and when they were just even, (topped, uieduiiiieally drew his pistol IraA) bis side and tired a hasty shot at bis opponent. Joe seemed to be a little the quicker, and tlie few specta tors who occupied positions ol com parative satety thought that. Jake was bit. He stood still however, and tried to cock Ills pistol lor another shot. Somehow or other it wouldn't work, the cylinder wouldn't revolve, and there be stood fooling with I he worth less thing whiti Joe was sending ill his leaden compliments as fast as he could shoot. Joe saw the situation, and lifter tic: tccoiid shot he called out to Jake to 1 irow away Ids weapon and he would unit, but Jake kept try ing to fix the cylinder and never moved from 'lis tracks. Joe bad fired lour times, a nil 'with his pistol raised for the fifth sl ot be called out in agony, 'Threw the thing away, Jake, you hain't got no show and 1 don't want to shoot ye (his way." lie waited a minute, but Jake never sxike nor looked away from that wretched re volver which wouldn't revolve. He probably thought he could still fix it 111 time to ihiisb his friend over the way. Joe was loth to kill so brave yet so helpless a man, but he knew that it would not. do to take any chan ces, as Jake might get his weapon in trim aud.Hi ordmgiy. taking deliberate aim he fired Ills liith shot. Jake slow ly settled down to his knees and tlien tell forward on bis face, dropping his pistol and gasping lor breath. Joe ran quickly over to him and gave him bis last bullet in the head, just as a safe guard agait. J any Inline difficulty, and then the people rushed forward to examine the scene. They found Jot; uninjured and Jake was quite dead, having been hit no less than four times. Upon examin ing Jake's revolver it was discovered that the exploded cap had become so firmly w edged in at tlie base of the cylinder as to defy all bis efforts to turn it. "He thought a heap of that same gun," remarked one of the In vestigating committee, "he used to say it was as sure as a knife, but it beat him at last." "I tell ye boys,'' said Joe. "I never hated to do auyv tliiug so it) my life when 1 drawed bead and 111 1 1 a staudiu' there so cool, not even lookln' for a chance to dodge, but 1 hapicui'd to think what such a feller might do if ho shou'd get his iixins in workin' order, and that made me desperate. 1 felt my linger press pn the trigger. Ugh! Give me soiiie lieker." -He was the pluckiest and coolest chap I ever see" said one. "And the biggest fool," put in an old Scotchman, "not to run when he couldn't light." l'hey burled lihn thencxt day. The funeral precession was not n grand one, but all tlie saloons and stores were closed and yery man, woman ami child, tor miles around was pres ent. TIkj procession passed slowly across (he ereck and up the sloping foothill of tlie big South mountain. There among (lie tall pines, at the lse,ot the giant, snow-capped senti nel which frowns upon the living and the dc;!i), they burled him. There was no funeral service, fliey laid him at rest lieside some old comrades of his, men who had been unfortunate, like him. He had cast his lot in the mountains and bravely met liU fate 011 Last Chance Bar. i "Oil CoitMistency, Tlurn art a JewelP The frequent use of this phrase dur ing the last Presidential campaign, when there was too often occasion to criticise the aberrations and contradic tions of politicians, led to inquiry asto its origin. Thorough search by 'many scholars of ouraciuaintaiice failed 1o discover tlie source of a saying so com mon ; yet while traveling last winter in Wisconsin, among il few old books constituting tlie library of a farmer, we aeeiilently discovered the volume containing it. The nook is A collection 01 An cient English and Scotch Ballads," published yi 1731. by one Mitrtagb, (perhaps an amiestor of the proprietor of the WashingtotrZWy llupvidtiw ) The line Occurs in li ballad entitled '.roily Bobyn Roughhead,'' where the poet bcwiiils the extravagance in dress which, in hisesiiination, was the grand enormity of his own times. Tlie oet makes Robin Boughhead address bis wife as follows: 'Tnsb, tuh, my lassie, such thought re sume, Comparisons nrc crnell. Fine pictures suit in frames as fine, CoNSlbTEM'lh'S A JKWt Ml '. For tin and me coarse clothes are best, liude folks in homlye raiment drest. Wife Joan and Uiiodamn Kobyn." If the newspa)ers now abound in Phillipios and invectlvesagainst female extravagance, the Natalie is by no means a new one. hut may lie traced back to tlie first existence of woman "That dear, delightful, coaxing, costly sex." The Rev. Dr. Thomas Fuller. In 1839, hi lib old fiMlo entitled "The History of the Worthies of England." says: "The jwl wif? It none of our dain ty dames, who love to appear in a varieiy of suits every day new. as it a good gown, like a stratagem in war, were to lie used hut once. But our good Wesets up a ail according to the keel of her htwband's estate, and It of high parentage, she doth not o remember what she was by oitth, that she forgets what she is by match." The Bev. John Tabor, in a curious volume of laienw, published in London 1UJ7, entitled "Seasonable Thoughts in Sad Times," has likewise his tried at the pestilent excess ( t female a- parel. and with tile extinct from htm we close our citations upon a topic which would iudefiuitelv fund di them. The Bev. John, hi the bitterness of bis soul, cries out: "Our horrid fashions make us English (trance ncTi as know us, and our women Change Their shape with each new moon, an :1 sonic do show, llvtheloo-ie wanton giitfiin which theygo, hat ware thev sell ; mid some do strive by paint To make I lie ugly devil seam a saint ; Some, have their laws wi;h b.uok patches drest, As thinking ilapnlc 1 ladies will sell bosl ; And now our ladles' unity and pride, And Ihelr neglect of housewifery lieside, Affright all so:or men, who fear to woo, l.est they slunild rnurt thuir woe in doing so: Or with their wives must now sonic thou sands Imvo To keep them in the fashion fine and brave." The Republic. Tlie Anusricin SpwtsuMH Is trying bard to teach people how to Handle guns. It gives four rules. Tlk! sub stance of the first three rules is never handle a gun unless you know how ; always handle a gun as if it were load ed ; always carry a gun at hiilf-oock. The fourth rule we give entire. "If von know of no other way of ascertain ing whether a gun is loaded or not than by putting the muzzle to your mouth and blowing, 01 if you feel In clined to draw tlie cap, retire to a safe distance and at-Wice blow out your brains If you litive any belore you kill or malm other people by your stupidity or carelessness."

When Artlmr was a very small lioy his mother reprimanded lum one day for some misdemeanor. Not knowing it. bis lather began talking to him on the same a object. Looking up in bis lace, Arthur said solemnly.

Nelaton was a great man, very decided, very linn, and never in a hurry. "If you have the misfortune to wit. off a inan's carotid artery." he said to liN students, "you have plenty of time to save his life, provided yon are not in a hurry."
