Guppy's Daughter. Charles Howard Sbliin In Overland Monthly. "Thar goes old Guppy Butcher Gnppy. Camps over ran in the gulch with his family. Live like dogs.the hall caboodle. Ye won't set eyes on a slouch" ier crowd between Bedding Bar and Klanath." My host, who was one of the best known pioneers of the pretty mining vil lage of northern California to which a trip for business and pleasure hod called me, emptied his brier wood pipe on the flat stone that served as a door step to his cabin, and walked slowly down the path to the gate, which sagged quite to the ground on its leather hinges. I thrust a handful of litters and Eapers into my pocket, and urried out from the pleasant shade of the grape-vine arbor extend ing from the hoiiee to the well. The loungers in front of the saloon oppo site took their hands out of their pockets, hitched their tilted chairs back to a more scientific; angle, and turned fishy eyes in the same direction. Tho blacksmith suspended his task of put ting new steel points on a worn-out pick, and stood massively in the door way, shading his face with a red and hairy hand. Even the boys picking ap ples in the treetops in tho orchard by the gleaming mountain river saw the nearing cloud of dust, heard fnint sounds from beneath it, knocked oil work, and bogan to speculate as to who or what was approaching, for they conld hardly see through the bushes massed along the road. Doubtless the children droning over their books in the brown schoolhouse standing on the bed-rock of an exhausted gravel mine looked furtively out of tho windows, and reported to their companions by look and sign. Everybody at the Bar knew that "Old Guppy" was coming. Down the sloping trail rode a man and a boy, driving a drove of twenty five or thirty grunting and contrary minded hops. Their horses wero the shabbiest of mustangs. The man with his high check bones, Indian expres sion of stolidity, long grizzled locks, cap of fox skin, an old shot gun laid across his knee, and tho boy with his tow-colored hair and prematurely old expression, seemed to belong to the traditional backwoods of a 100 years ago. They kept their unruly charges well together, and rode through the town with averted faces, hardly casting a glance to left or right. "Guppy ,what's pork worth ?" shouted a sandy-haired, bare-legged urchin, who sat by the roadsido dabbling with hands and feet in the soft, brick-red dust. The boy on horseback struck viciously at him with the long w hip he carried, but the urchin rolled down the low bank and under a friendly bush, just in time to escapo the stinging rawhido tipped lash. Neither father nor son spoke a word, but they .looked at tho townspeople with undisguised animos ity, and went on, soon disappearing with their attendant dust cloud over a pine covered ridge toward the west. " Guppy's a queerosity," said the chatty pioneer. ." Buys his hogs and cattlo on the coast. Drives 'era here an' there, an' makes money every trip. That's all right. Nobody's down on him for not gamblin' nor settin' 'em up for the boy9, but look how he lives." .Here tho usnally'good-natured pioneer grew excited. "You go a matter of fifteen miles right north of here, an' you'll come on a littlo canyon, head ing out kinder circular. It's the breshicst place you ever set eyes on. Bresh all across the bottom an' up tho mountain side, bo you can walk on the top of the scrub oak "an, hazel bushes an' manzaiiita, an' stuff of that sort. It's tho all-rived wildest, fowaken section that lies outdoors. The only way up tbar is along a trail by the crick, an' it's so high in winter that unless you know just how ter take tho ford, whar to strike in an' how to bear, an' whar ter como out, down you go thirty miles into tho Klamath, like a bowlder in a flume. An' that's whar Guppy keeps his family. Been tlrnr five or six years. Packs in his grub, cuts wild hay on the flat, an the crowd live in a tent that boy an' two or three grown-up girls, an' several smaller chil dren, on' their mother. None of them ever wear shoes, an' as littlo else as they can help, an' tho women folks shoot deer an' other game. Once the dogs treed a California lion, an' one of the gals Sal, they call her tuk a rifle an walked up clost ter the tree an' dropped him the first shot." The old pioneer walked back to his cabin door, sat down, and began filling his pipe. "Redding Bar and the Gnppy family do not seem to be on very good terms, said I, remembering how different the scene of a few minutes before was from the usual free-hearted, genial good will of mining camps. "No, I guess not," was the reply. "There's sarcumstances, sicli as miss ing calves and hogs not that we ac cuso nobody. But my wife's sorry for the girls. The biggest one, Dosy, come over to onr town an' said bIio were goin' to school last summer, and had found a place to stop at. Trustee Ityan raised objections but Jack Mason and us voted them down. So the girl came. But land, there couldn't no one do a thing with her. She didn't know but just how to read them 'Webster spellin' book stories, an' she swore like a trooper; an' at recess one day squared off with her fists to whip the girl that spelled her down. She staid two days, an' it couldn't bo stood no, how. So 1 saw Mason, an' we both dropped in on Byan, tellin him we were not strenoos as regarded the Gnppy question. An' while we was a-talkin' it over in Billy's saloon cross the way school let out. an' down the street comes Dosy, with ten or a dozen boys hootin' after her. She ketches up a five-pound rqck, flung it right in among them, grabs np another and scatters the crowd, and marches sassilyout of sight. The next after noon we went np to school an' told her not to come any more. All at once she stood np in her seat an said very slow like: "Ihate yon alL I hate your infernal town. I'll come back some night and burn tout old houses.' Then she caught np her books, making a big racket, and flung out of the door, kicking over three or four dinner-pails in the entry. An' she v.ent along the hillsido so as not to go through the town, an' took tho straight trail for homo, though it was 3 o clock in the afUrnoon and fifteen hard miles to go. But my boy John he comes across tho hill cattle- hunting an hour later, a tees her set tin' on a log cryin', an' pullin' out the nf 1. ..- ...... .1 .... K...;..' Il,am ic-uvt-o vi iin icnuci) nu luivniu umm off in tho bushes. hen she see him, she stood up and dropped her books on the log, an' started on along the trail. John called after her ter get the books, but she whirled round au yelled out, 'Think I want them things any more?' And nobody over saw her over here again. Tho pioneer drew a long breath, ro- lapsed into silence, lit his pipe, curried a rawhido-bottomed chair from the kitchen to the shadyend of tho porch and there resigned' himself tc uneX' pressed meditations on tho varieties of human life aud character. It was a curious story ho had told The mountain world about us was forty miles from a railroad, and primitive enough in many of its ways; but fifteen miles deeper in the wilderness wore the true mountaineer, relapsing into news paperless barbarism. I looked down on the broad, dark river, Howing past red cliffs that crumbled fast under tho at tacks of hydraulic miners, ru-hing in gleaming 'foam over tlie bar wliero ad venturous Major Bedding and his In dians hud washed out gold in and hewing for itself, year by year, a wide gateway to the sea, through tho limestone burners of tho mountains toward the west. Two or three days were passed in this breezy summerland ; but ono morn' ing I was riding along a narrow mouu tuiu trail five miles or so north of the mountain village. Tho ascent was steep and long, ami I took an ill us trated magazine from my saddlo-bags, and glanced over it3 contents, letting tho rums lio on my horse s neck. Con ing upon a wayside spring under a clump of junipers, I dismounted, laid the magazine down on a ilut rock, flung tho bridle-rein over a bough, and knelt in boyish haste for a drink. The tiny pool was a luxuriance of reflected leaves and bloom, giving ouo a joyous feeling merely to look into its depths. and the clear cold water seemed to taste of spicy roots and fragrant herbs. A few minutes later I arose, and the scene had changed. A littlo gust of wind was lifting tho leaves of the mag azine, giving rapid glimpses of faces and landscapes. Only a few feet tlis taut, leaning forward and peering through the evergreen boughs, sat a young girl, looking intently on the flut tering picture. Sho must have been sitting thero in obscurity as I rode up. Only tho upper portion of her body could be seen, as her weight massed the thick boughs darkly across. Her face was round, full and fair, not notice ably freckled ; the light-colored hair was drawn back and fastened with a ribbon. She scorned about 15 or 16 years old, but large and strong for her age, and the dress she wore was of some coarse red material, plainly made, with little attempt at ornament. She was, as I have said, looking at the magazine with an expression of in tense curiosity, and slowly reached out a hand as if to take it, crouching for ward and pressing back the boughs with her other Jiand. The gesture aud movement wero the perfection of nn conscious graco and strength. The thought came to me that perhaps this mountain girl was ono of "the liuppy family," and also tho fear that she might seize tho coveted treasuro and escape without a word. "Would you like to have it for your own?'' I asked, as quietly as possible. She started aud looked at mo with doubt and surprise, and settled. buck a littlo further behind tho branches, gloomily knitting her brows, and evi dently making up her mind on tho sub ject. "Mister, yes, I would. Them's party pictures." Bising, sho tteppod partly out from her concealment, setting ono baro and soiled foot on the trail, and taking the magazine into a shapely hund disfigured by long and totally neglected linger nails. "I don't see sech things," sho re marked, with an explanatory air. "Pap says it's all truck. I told him once ter fotch me a book with pictures in. But ho noer did." "Your father is Mr. Gnppy?" "They don't call him that. It's '01' Gupp,' most like, an' 'Hog Driver Gupp.' They don't put handles on names round here." " How far is it to where your parents live?" " It's a good ten mile, stranger, an' a mighty rough trail." "I should think your mother would feel uneasy about you sometimes if you go so far from camp." Sho laughed, shrugged her shapely shoulders, set her arms akimbo, and stepped fairly out into the path. "Tho ol' woman? She wouldn't mind ef she didn't see me for a week at a time, ef she hod tcrbacca to smoke, an' coffee ter drink, and Bob to keep wood for her fire. Mara says I can whip my weight in wildcats, an needn't be afraid of anything in tho moun tains." As sho turned in addressing me, I now noticed that she carried a well worn army revolver hanging in a buck skin thong at her waist. A large ill favored deerhound came sliding and creeping out of the underbrush that thickly clothed the hillside, and dis played some symptoms of early hostili ties. "You, Jake!" cried the girl, and catching up a fragment of rock speed ily reduced him to abject submission, and he crouched at her feet. Evidently this young woman could take care of herself. Faint but clear, floating down from far up the brush covered mountain, came a wild call, sweet, deep and strange beyond the power of language to describe. The girl started, listened, and replied in the same rich, wierd, and far reaching strain, her chest heav ing, her throat swelling, her eyes flashing, her figure poised and trem bling with a picturesque awakening. "That's my sister. She wants me. Tin goin'." I hunted in my saddle-bags and found another illustrated magazine for her. She nodded with a "Thank ye, mister," and slipped into the chaparral and un dergrowth that lined the roadside. The hound followed, and I heard the rattle of the slaty pebbles under their feet as they climbed, but the bushes grew too closely to allow even a glimpse ol Uer red dress. Occasionally a tremulous quiver in tho boughs, as she caught hold of them to assist her ascent, showed her sinuous courso as she threaded her way onward. Half-way up tho mountain thore must havo been more open spaces, for, looking back as I rode on, I caught glimpses of her climbing over project ing masses of rock. "Old Guppy's dm ghtcr had returned to her wilder ness." I thonght of tho two girls sitting bo neath tho pines that clothed the summit of that mountain barrier which over looked threo counties, and rovealed a wido region from tho peaks of Shasta and Lassen to the Redwood lielts of Humboldt sitting on that vast and lonely height, and trying to understand the strange new world dimly revealed in tho pictures and articles of the maga zines I had given them. As I rodo on for hours without encountering any human being, tho sense of their isola tion grew stronger and stronger. They seemed lost in the firs and pines, like children shipwrecked in mid-Atlantic. Too Jinny .Nig. lumps. I 'or. lioston Herald. Captain W. H. Barker, in his "Recol lections of a Naval Ollicer," tells wifh some littlo detail tho events of the first day on board a government ship, some of which are rather amusing. When he went to bed in the evening, a sur prise awaited him for which he was totally uimrepared. "Up to this time," ho says, had suffered much with earache, and my mother had caused me to wear nightcaps. There was nothing strange to mo in this, as other boys wore them in my boarding school, but it seems it w as not a way they havo in tho navy. My caps were of many colors, blue, red, greon, etc., for they were nnulo of remnants of my sister's dresses. Now, as I made my final preparations for reposo, I opened my trunk ami put on a close fitting nightcap. It was the signal for indestribiihlo confusion. If I had put on a suit of mail, it could not have caused more astonishment among these light hearted reefers. They rushed at my trunk, seized the caps, put them on, and joined in a wild dance on the deck, in which wero mingled blue, caps and white caps and all colors of caps in pleasing variety. I had to take mine off before turning in, as it really did seem to be too much for their feelings, but I managed to smuggle it under my pillow, and when all was quiet, I put it on again. But, when the midshipman came down at night to call tho relief, he spied it and we had another sceno. This w as tho lost I ever saw of my caps. I have nover had one on since, and con sequently never had the earache." Madlxon Hujuare, Sew York. Joe Howard in Boston Herald. Tauso here for a moment and take in, be it day or night, a panorama of contemporaneous human interest, of physical beauty, of scientiflo develop ment, of natural grandeur and of U'sthetio beauty unequaled in this city. Why, what is there? In tho first place, ns you stand, you seo immediate ly fronting you a square of tremendous proportions, Madison square, lighted to-day by tho sun's magnirtconco, breathing a gentle and exhilarating warmth, shaded so as to bo entirely delightful. In this square are hundreds of trees, many of them old, stately and magnificent, nud fountains playing and sparkling in tho sunlight. Its gravel wulks are tempting to the old and young alike, its grass is green and wholesome), even its grotesque statuary is symbolical of the wealth and liberality and ii'ttliutie: advanco of the people of this city, l'ret-ffly-dressed children gambol hero and romp there, and even tho ono degraded blot.the presence of innumerable tramps, is suggistivoof what they might have been, rather than offensively obtrusive), as thev are. Beautiful as this is by day, at night it jumps from tho plane of material grandeur to the upper heights of fairyland. Hundreds of feet above tho topmost tree, burning with magnifi cent brilliancy, a score of electric lights illuminate this square, throwing dark shotlows on tho ground, imparting to the leavos through which they shine a weird and ghostly semblance. A Donkey' Nnlclde. Chicago Tribune. The Faris Paix gives particulars of the suicide of a donkey which was wit nessed recently by a dozen persons, who are one and all convinced that the ani mal's death was premeditated and inten tional. Tho unfortunate quadruped, which was reduced to a condition of skin and bones from eating too little and working too much, managed to escape from his stables in the Rue du Chardon neret, and made for tho Seine, into which ho entored near the Pont d'Aus terlitz. A man who happened to be mving a Newfoundland dog a bath close by, perceiving that the don key mado no effort to swim and was on the point of drowning, dispatohed the dog to his assistance. Seizing the drowning animal's ear in his month, the Newfoundland managed? to bring him to land. But to no purpose. The donkey looked round with his large, sad eve, and quietly walked back into the water. Tho dog was again sent after him; but this time the donkey kicked out so vigorously that his pre server could not approach. The donkey, once beyond Ins depth, re signed himself to the action of the cur rent, made no movomeut to sustain himself, and was speedily drowned. Aula In Margery.

' A TBAOIC EVENT. A Father's Itrnpalr and Melf-lnfllcted Iralh-llla Mon'a final Itrnrue Too Late to Have III 1'arrnt. The graphic occurrence that Is described below is one of the most rvmarkablu epi sodes In the domestic history of America. It is absolute truth which can readily be verified. The inhabitants of the pleasant town of Cortland, N. Y., were shocked one morn ing by the announcement that Mr. Clinton Kindle, one of their most prominent citi zens, had committed suicide. The news spread rapidly and roused the entire neighborhood where Mr. Kindle was so well and favorably known. At first it seemed impossible that any one so quiet and domestic could do so rash a deed, and the inquiry was heard on every sido as to the cause. The facts as developed on in vestigation proved to be as follows: Mr. Kludge was domestic In his tastes and took the greatest enjoyment in the society of his children and pride in their development. And indeed he had good reason to be proud for they gave promise of long lives of success and usefulness. Hut an evil day came. His youngest son, William, lie pun to show signs of an early decay, lie felt unusually tired each day, and would sometimes tleep the entire af ternoon it permitted to do so. His head pained him, not acutely, but with a dull, heavy feeling. There was a sinking sen sation at tlie jiit of his stomach, lie lost all relish fur food and much of his interest for things about him. He tried manfully to overcome these feelings, but thev seemed stronger than his will. He began to lose flesh rapidly. The father became alarmed and consulted physicians as to tlie cause of his son's illness, but they were unable to explain. Finally severe sores broke out on his arms and he was taken to Buffalo where a painful opera tion was performed resulting in the loss of much blood but affording little relief. The young man returned hmiie and a council of physicians was called. After an exhaustive examination they declared there was no hope of ileal recovery and that he must die w ithin a very few days. To describe the agony which this an nouncement caused the father would tie imnofesible. His mind failed to grasp its full meaning at first: then finallv svemed to comprehend It, but the load was too great. In an agony of frenzy he seized a knife and took his own life, preferring death rather than to survive his idolized son. At that time William ltindge was too weak to know what was transpiring. His face had turned black, his breath ceased entirely at times, and his friends waited for his death believing that the fiend Bright's disease of the kidneys, from which he was sutlcring, could not (e re moved. In this supreme moment William's sister came forward and declared she would make a final attempt to save her brother, llio doctors interposed, assur ing her it was useless and that she would only hasten tho end by the means she proposed to employ. But sho was firm nil f.iw.lr nll)iMD.Ii.ll 1,1,1- brother's side and administered a remedy which she fortunately had on hand. Within an hour he seemed more easy, and before the day was over he showed signs of decided improvement. These favora able signs continued, and to-day William B. ltindge Is well, having been virtually raised from the dead through the marvel ous power of Warner's Safe Cure, as can be readily verified by any citizen of Cort land. Any one who reflects upon the facts above described must have a fowling of sad ness. The father dead by his ow n hand, supposing his bou's recovery to be impos sible; the son restored to health to mourn the loss of his father and the agonized relatives with a memory of sadness to forever darken their lives. Had Clinton Kludge known that his son could recover he would to-dav be alive and happy, but the facts which turned his brain and caused him to commit suicide, were bucIi as any one would accept as true. However sad this case may be, the truth remains that thousands of people are at this moment in as great actual peril as William liintlire and in as great danger of causing misery if not death to their friends. J.tvcr and Kidney discuses are become tho most common and most dangerous of any or all modern com plaints, Thev are the most deceptive in their teginnlnp and horrible in their final stages. Tlicv are fur more deceptive than Consumption, ond can rarely Imj de tected even by skillful physicians unless a microscopic analysis be restored to, ond few doctors understand how to do this. Their slightest approach or possibility of approach should strike terror to the one who is threatened as well as to all his or her friends. These, diseases have no distinct svinptoms, but come in the form of lassitude, loss of appetite, lulling muscles and joints, dull headaches, jxiins in the back, stomach and chest, sour stomach, recurring signs of cold, irregu lar pulsations of the heart, and frequent dizziness. If neglected, these symptoms are certain to run into chronic kidney and liver or Bright's disease, from which there is sure to be a great amount of agony and only one means of escape, which is by the use of Warner's Safe Cure. The Import ance of taking this great remedy upon tlie slightest appearance of any of the above symptoms cannot be too strongly Impressed upon the minds of all readers who desire to escape ucaiii mm pm " prolong life with all its pleasures and blessings.
