The clerical-looking gentleman and the bearded borderer were the only pas senders on the Carson stage, seven hours out, en route to Bodie. They occupied the upper seat behind the driver, and the tenor of their conversation indicated that there was a slight misunderstand ing between them a misunderstanding that neither et thera seemed capable of gathering up the threads ot a 6kein that was momentarily becoming mdrc and more tangled as pome new phase of the' subject under discussion was broached. "When I was there," the clerical gentleman was remarking, "the vine yard was in a deplorable state." "The vineyard!" interrupted his bearded companion. "Yes ; the Lord's vineyard, I mean ; the weeds were " "Hold on a minute, siranger,'vex ehiimed the other, hitching in hid seat, and turning so as to lace his coman ion "hold yer bosses. I ain't much on this parable palaver, an' I come mighty near giving ye the lie on that vineyard bizainess cause, ye see, there ain't no sech 'ithin five mile o' the camp. Maybe there's a few down to Salt Lake, but nobody wss ever fool enough . o' speculating in vireyan'a round my neighborhood. But it's all right now ; I've cottoned to the right o' the case, an I'm drawiu' my sights on to Lord's vineyards." "As I was saying," resumed the oth er outside," "I found the field ot labor in a deplorable condition. The weeds had long since choked the wheat, and tares were flourishing with a luxuriance that might well sadden tbe heart ot tbe husbandman. Human sac rifices were frequent in the interior, and barbarous executions for the most trivial offenses were ot weekly occur rence along the coast. I attended one pt those executions, and it I am not too tedious in my narration 1 will relate the circumstances in connection with the horrible affair. Are you agreeable ?" "Go ahead, ol' man, I'm listenin.' I like to hear a man tell a good one while he's at it," and the bearded passenger bitched backto his former position and asked the driver tor "a chaw o' that nigger" heel " "Well, it appears that the unfortunate man was condemned to death for poach ing on the King's preserves. They had adjudged him gnilty, and sentenced him to be beheaded, and a more pitiable wretch it ha3 never been my misfortune to contemplate as be passed out of the prison into the open court where he was to be executed. He was made to kneel and bend his neck, after - which the ex- ecutkuier dipped his hand in a tub of Watr, 'and drawing bis middle and forefinger through the sand upon which the doomed man was kneeling, applied them to the naked neck of the shivering wretch, .leaving a broad and distinct mark at which to strike. lie . then raised his great double-edged sword, and ; with one blow the head tell from the trunk, while the great stream of blood crimsoned the sand." " The clerical gentleman paused in as tonishmctit. Ilia fellow-passenger was taring at him with a strange expres sion upon his sun-browned features, which the narrator at first imagined was the result of intense interest, but which he gradually observed was pro ducedby a disgusting disbelief in the j statements which he had just beeu mak ing. He cut himself short for the pur-' pose ot allowing his hearer an opportu tnty of relieving his overcharged mind, knowing full well that if he did not the' bearded man would explode, and render tho situation decidedly unpleasant, to ay -the least. The man of the border made a great effort to control himself, and in a tone plaiuly indicating that he lorced .a calmness he was far from feel ing, simply to, "clinch" the man who sat beside Lim, and prove to the grin. " ning driver thst no -man could with impunity "put up a josh on him." 'That's the. frozen truth, is it, stran. gcrT'hVasked.- 'J,, , '.v .''"', "Every word I have uttered is the truth. . I witnessed the sickening spec tacle ib 'the broad " glare "4 a tropical sun, and I did not lose a single move ment in the barbarous tragedy," answer el the other ."outside." "What's your line ?" abruptly asked the man with a beard. "My profession ?" "The same." "I am an evangelist a missionary." "Ob, you're preacher, eh ?", "A minister of the gospel yes." "What shop?" "Shop?" "Yes ; which track are ye travelin' how's yer baggage checked ?"- "I don't believe I understand you " "No? Well, what church are you swearin' by ?" "I am a Baptist." "Good enough ; Baptist goes. You say you was on the missionary racket ! we'en you saw all this ?" "I was engaged in the task of at tempting to convert the heathen from ; blindness, and teaching him the path be should foMow to obtain everlasting glory." f "Heathen is good, too, but wait a minute, an' I'll tackle a remark. What I want to know, was yon givin' these heathens, ez you call 'era, the true biz ness on the ten comman'ments ?" "I was inculcating the -divine law which Moses received amid the thunders of Sinai.' "Rerrect ; an' miybe ye give 'em the bizness about lifliu' a mau we'en he call? ye a liar ?" "I don't counsel violence under any pretext whatever : on the other hand, I taught them that fighting was sinful." "Kerrect again,stranger ; yer workin' 'round to my side o the shanty, au' I guess I'll fetch ye iuto camp purty 60on. Ye told 'em lying wasn't a squar game ?" "I told, them that a liar could not hope to be saved." "Tol 'em a liar couldn't hope to be saved ? Yon saw that duck git down on his marrer bones ?" "I saw the criminal kneel down yes. "Ye saw the other 'ith a two-edged sword made mud, an' plaster the back o' the doomed wretch's neck ?" "I did." "Ye saw the sword-sharp chop his .ead off?" "Yes." "Say, stranger, look here. I reckon I've got you tighter'n a Mexican cinch. I'm thinkin' you've tangled yourself up in yer own lariat. What year was you out thar, anyhow ?" "I went out in 1874 ; but, my friend, I can't see what yon are endeavoring to accomplish by this question and cross-question." "I'll show ye afore I git through 'ith ye. I'm agoin' to prove to this yer driver o' this yer stage that you can't show down the hand yer clnimin' ye hold. I'm goin' to show that yer givin me a game " "I don't understand you, sir." "No ? Well, s'pose I give ye dead away on the sword racket, fust? S'pose I was to say that ther' ain't nothiu' bigger'n a sixteen-inch bowie io the hulpamp ? S'pose I was to come down to cases, an' said ye lied about that mud bizness? S'pose I was to bring proof that no man in the camp ever lied his cabesa cut off below the ears? S'pose I was to bring a huudred men to back me in the statement that hangin' was all the go, w'eu it was a vigilante racket, an' that nobody ever died out thar 'ceptin' from hot lead an' col steel ? S'pose I was to do all this, what kind of a game would ye gi' me then ? I tell ye, stranger, I've been thar, an' I'm posted, I am. I'm the best posted man this side o' Deuvei,au ye can't play it very low down on me, much " "Do you doubt my word, sir ?' "No, I don't doubt yer word ; but of ye'd put a little more solid stuff into what yer s?yiu' I'd be more likely to take slock in yer yarns." "My friend, I fear you are attempt ing to beguile me. I fear that yon are imposing upon a stranger in a strange laud. I am not accustomed to yon r peculiar manners and customs; -and you should not take advantage of me in this abrupt and unceremonious way." "I thought ye 'lowed ye'd been thar." "Where?" "In Shyami." "Clieyem e ! Not at all. I never saw the place. I thought you under stood from the first that I was a mis sronary to Siam." " What ! Siam ? Well, I swear, I take it all back, stranger ; I throw up my hand. Shake, stranger, an, we'll call it squar'. Shynn Siam. They do sound alike., don't they ?" At An ounaiiiif Discovery. If the latent discoveries which the emiiut philologist, Dr. Rudolf Falb, claims to have made during bis-Tin. guirtic researches in South America should prove to be well founded, we shall have to interchange the titles which we are gi?ing at present to th two be mispheTefV America, according to Dr. Falb's hypothesis, is the "Old World;" Europe, Africa and Asia really constitute the "New World." We learn from his own summary of his researches, communicated to the Nem Ju-ete Ire&e of Vienna, that the lan guages spoken by the Indians in Peru and Bolivia (especially in Quichua and Adraara) exhibit the most astounding affinities with the Semitic languages, and particularly with the Arabic in which tongue Dr. Falb himself has been skilled from his boyhood. Fol lowing up the lines ot this discovery, Dr. Falb has found (1) a connecting link with the Aryan roots, and (2) has ultimately arrived face to face with the surprising revelation that "the Sematic roots are uuivcrsally Aryau." The common stems ot all the variants are found in their purest condition in Vuichua and Almara, from which fact Dr. Falb derives the conclusion that high plains of Peru and Bolivia must be regarded as the point of exit of the present human race. So Adam was an American Globe. Driving; 1 Rats Away Without P.tson. We know of three methods. First, the old French plan. This is followed, chiefly in Paris, by men who make it a special business. They take a deep tub, with water on the bottom and a little elevation in the middle like an island, on which is only a place for just one rat to sit. This trap is covered, and has a large balance valve opening downwards. On the middle ; of this valve a piece of fried pork or cheese is placed, and when the rat walks on to it to get the cheese the valve goes down, drops the rat into the water aud moves back iuto position. A road is made by means of pieces ot board rubbed with cheese, so as to make the walk more attractive for the rats. In the course of the night some ten, twenty, or even more Tats may go down, and it the island was licit there, they would be alive in the morning, quietly swimming around ; but the provision ot the little island saves the trouble of killing them, because their egot:tical insti iiCt of preservation causes for the exclusive posses id, on which in the morn si rat is found in solitary he others being killed them to tight sion of the isla ing the stronod possession, all aud drowned around him Second, the by one ot the the rat-hole is New York plan, invented Friends The floor near covered with a thin layer ot the most caustic potassa. When tlie rats walk on 1 his it makes their feet sore ; these tin y lick with their tongues, which makes their mouths sore, and the result fs that they shun the locality, not alone, but in the neigl appear to tell all the rats borhood about it, aud eventually the house is entirely aban doned by thqm, notwithstanding the houses around are full of rats. Third, the tutch method. This is said to be used successfully in Holland. We have, however, never tried it. A number of rats are left to themselves in a very large tiap or cage, with no food whatever. Their craving hunger will cause them to fight, and the weakest will be eaten by the strongest. Atter a short time (he fiatht is renewed, and the next weal est is the vict'm, and so it gofs on uniil one strong rat is left. When this one has eaten the last re mains of the ol hers it is set loose. The animal has m;w acquired such a taste tor rat flesh that he is the terror ot all ratdom, going about seeking what rat he may devou '. In an incredible short time the prein sea are abandoned by all other rats, wl ich will not come back before the cannibal rat has left or died. At a recent dinner paity at St. Peters burg at winch) the Tin-Wish ambasador was present, in! the course of the conversa tion a young Russian diplomatist ventured somewhat rashly in an attempt at pleasan try upon tlie sitbject of Turkish harems, assuming in ajjoenlsir manner that in the Ottoman eye they might he accepted a evidences olT mlorslity while to tli outer world they werb not. To the hot-blooded Ottoman thU tdunt at the sacred teaching oi a Molmmmotliin was sufficient to im mediately arouje hi ire, and began a fear ful tirade against Christian immorality, concluding .hi remarks with more earn estness than grace, confessed that he had four wives but iind never paid any attention to anj otbers.aiui challenged the company to produce Ironi among them a single ex ample vhodard to tell liim that his rela tions with the niir sex had been similarly restricted. Anjt the poor husbands felt ex ceedingly troubled, hut considering the source from whence the challenge came, did not regard jt worthy ot notice. Oh ! the bad Kiw-siaiis !
