For woundln? ,oy, delicious pain,

Hearl ! heart !
Is it drank Willi bliss or woe thou art?
Then, when I saw the defied leaves, p

Au Incidental I.usM'linuco tar.
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."

funeral precession was not n grand
one, but all tlie saloons and stores
were closed and yery man, woman

across (he ereck and up the sloping
foothill of tlie big South mountain.
There among (lie tall pines, at the

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."

"You seem to be a little hoarse, my
love, " remarked Slinkhis to his spouse,
when she had a coldr "A little horse,
indeed !" she replied, mlstakhi;? the
personal allusion, "better be that than

his mother reprimanded lum one day

A Chicago gentleman says that be
once was so unfurl una te as to get
thoroughly fuddled. It was in Har
rison's "hard cider" campaign, and he
had been in attendance on one of the
most enthusiastic of the meetings, and
had wit enough at night to know that
be was in no condition to meet his
wite. He walked about the yard for
an limit or two. ami lbutlly crept h
and slipped cinictly into the lied, turn
ing his back to his wife, that she might
not smell his breath. lie was lift
beginning to congratulate himself that
she would not suspect bis condition,
when she broke oul : '-011 needn i
take so much pains, Joel. You are
drunk .ill through."
Kelaton.
The Great French Surgeon Nelaton
Has just died. He will be known to
the profession of future chiefly by
one very simple, hilt very neat inven
tion a s'ender probe of porcelain,
rough at the end. which 1 tilts a little
lead from a bullet hi a wound, 't was
made famous by il - demon- , ration that
a rifle ball was in Uaili a'di's foot.
Thanks to the skill of Nelaton the
hero of Aspremonte was Me. to give
bis services to France during the war
with Germany. They were not of
much value, but he sho ed bis good
will all the same; and iow we hear
that ho has offered his id to the Be
publicans of Spain. K was ticcliued
with thanks. 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." He
was performing an oieration on the
Prince liaperial. witting down to open
a deep seated abeess. The Eniieror,
in au agony for his child, tried to
stop If m, and even -a i zed his arm.
"Sire." said ih ' surg vai. "you are in
my way." and bfiHlilug him aside, he
finished the ojierttlou, ami possibly
saved the boy's lite.
