Every Jay the bull trains, male team, And stage, roll into the Black Hills with their loads of "fresh fish," a the vet erans call the new arrivals from the East. Theae fresh fish" rush for hotels, boarding-nooses and saloons, get a meal or a lnneh, and are presently eeu walking np and down the streets of the frontier city or collecting on the corners to hear the latest news from the diggings and the prospects of striking job. The other day, when a wagon load of boll-heads was damped oat in Custer City, as wagon loads had been dumped out every day before since grass sUrted, I the first man to welcome them to the m- fant city was a chap five feet high, and weighing accordingly. There was a blood-stain on his left cheek, a scar on bis right, and he had fierce eyes, a voice like a roaring lion, and a bad limp in one of his-legs. He was whittling out a ten pin with a big bowie-knife as the wagon drove up, and pushing the knife down the back of his neck he lifted up a Henry rine, ran his eye over the crowd, and, called out in an'awful voice: - "Is there anybody in that crowd look ing for Terror No. I? Kane if there is, here I am ; and I'm just aching to be shot full of bullets weighing about a pound piece I". . .' No one was looking for him. Some looked at him, and some looked across the street on purpose not to see him, while there was a uniform movement toward hip pockets. "I didn't know but that some of you might have come out here from New York or Boston to plant me under the sweet jessamine or the climbing morn ing glory," chuckled the terror, as he rested the butt of his riile ou the ground and flirted up a six-shooter from his boot- leg-' i , ; . - There were men from New York and Boston nn the party, "but they didn't want to bury anybody just then. "I don't own this town," continued the Terror, as he laid his infant armory across the head of a barrel. "I don't own a foot of ground or a share in any of the public buildings erected at the ex pense of taxpayers, but when I stand on Washington square and utter one yell this whole town quakes. I'm Terror No. 1. There's one or two other Terrors around here, but I'm the boas I'm the reg'lar death's head and cross bones of the Black Hills region 1" . Before he had ceased speaking most of the new oomers had disappeared, some looking pale and anxious, and others feeling shivers race up and down their backs. An hour later, when party of five strangers from 'ew England were mak ing the acquaintance of the infernal bev erages on sale in one of the shanty saloons, and at the same time pumping the proprietor about prospects, : in walked the Terror. He looked as fierce as a catamount cheated ont of her des sert, and there was an awful growl in his voice as he called ont: "Five o'clock by Omaha time, and I ftWkXkiHed or been killed this whole day longi urn loose your pet grizzlies, unhitch vour whirlwinds, and let a dozea wild lion's come for me at once! "Take something to drink, my good friend," mildly replied the saloon int. , "You are always welcome here, but you ' don't drop in half Often enough. Don't be afraid to pour out all you want." "To tell the honest truth, Steve," said the Terror, as he poured out nearly half a pint of the meanest whixky ever made, "1 came jn here to kill some one; but you are a white man clear down to your toe nails, and ;I won't raise no row. That's good whisky, that is, and if you want any one in Custer City put under ground, just give me his name. Can you think of any one?" Thealoon keeper reflected for a mo ment, as he. slowly wiped off his bar rith an old calico apron, and finally he , replied: . v '.'No; I don't think of any one just now, but something will probably turn up in day or two. Any time you feel thirsty come in and help yourself." One of the five men had formerly been a moulder in Troy stove foundry, and be had been closely watching the Terror. All of a sudden he held ont his hand for-; shake, cheerfully observing: "I'll bet one hundred to one that we used to work, board and room together." The Terror reached ont his hand, . olosely scanned the moulder's face, aud after moment he said to the whole five: "Gentlemen, come out doors and take seats on the bench. I begin to know ' this man, and I don't want to answer any questions in here." "Well, but I am surprised to find you out here and rigged up in this style," remarked the moulder as the men found scats. "So yon may be,'. slowly replied the Terror. "When I worked in Troy there wasn't a man or boy about the shop who couldn't make me eat dirt. I was one of the biggest eowards "east of Chi cago, and now I'm one of the biggest west of that town. I own right up, be cause I know you won't go back on me. I might fight if I was cornered, bnt if there was chance to run or crawl out I wouldn't strike a blow.? "But yon talk very 1 brave," said one. "And it's all tolk." replied the Terror, M be picked liis teeth with his bowie knife. "1 floated out here from Chicago, - poor as a rat, and the biggest coward in the whole train. If luck hadn't favored me I should have been under the sod long ago. I've got an awful voice, and I an look as ugly as a bear in a trap; but oomehow or other the story got afloat that I killed two men in Chicago, was rescued from the gallows by a mob, and that I - had come out here to. escape justice. Men gTew afraid of me, and I soon got . the cue. : I determined to become a Ter ror in order to' make an honest living, and I've got the tiling right down fine." "Are yon not a fighter and a shooter and slasher?" . "Gentlemen, it's kind o' mean for a mau to run his own character down, but to b honest about it, I dou't suppose there is man in Custer City who couldn't wollop ma inside of fifteen min ute by the watch. I go around simply to make a show. If that saloon keeper bad reached out for me you'd have seen me dig out mighty lively. But these weapous, the name I've got, and my anx ious look for gore frightened him half to death." , "es, everyboSy seems afraid of yon," observed the man from Troy. "Afraid? I guess they are! When I . walk into a place everybody begins to quake and shiver, though I have never ' drawn blood in this town. There comes the chap who acts as Marshal, Sheriff, Chief of Police, or whatever you may call him. He's six feet high and weigh over two hundred pounds, and yet see how I can bluff him." The official referred to was coming up the street at leisurely gait, and when ' be came along epposite the group the Terror leaped out with a wild yell and shouted; V "Jjookwg for me. are youl Want to aee me bad, lo yon!" "i'or ito jtmM doa't raise row with lacf" jVpSW1 the KUanff as he looked atcttf J f oi ootsr. "I don't Want yon, you don . want luel' " T . ' ' "Yon see how it works,'' continued the little man as the official moved on. "That man eonld make my heels break my neck, and yet he is afraid of me. Here are some drizzly bear claws which I bought in Omaha for two dollars. Every? body around here thinks I pulled the beast ont of a hole in the bill, held him by the ears with one hand, and cut theae claws off with the other. There are twenty notches in the stock of this rifle. These folks around here have got an idea that I hare killed twenty men in rows or fair fights, but I never even shot at one." There was a period of silence, and then the Terror continued: . "There, money in it, and it's rather pleasant to be top of the heap, but this thing can't last Ion a;. Home day before long I shall light down on the wrong man and he'll dress me down and drive me to the hills. I hope you- boys will have lots of lnck. I've been square and honest with you, and now don't give me away." . ?.?:' - . At that moment three men on horse back came down the street, and the Ter ror jumped out with a screech and shouted: ,. ' "Here's the holyhock you are looking for. Here's the modest violet who wants to be carved up and fed to the wolves!" They weren t looking for him, and ' they got away on a gallop. The party I from the East went ont among the dig gings and were absent a whole week. When they returned to Custer City, they inquired for the Terror, and a hotel keeper replied: F "Yes; they did use to call him the Terror, I believe, but they didn't know him. He was whooping around here in his usual awful style three or four days ago, swearing that he must kill some body, when a tinsmith from Dayton, Ohio,, took his rifle and bowie knife a t va1 eVrtiuasiiK-h intwi An Ilia Kat. n1 thelJ kiked him tbo wUole length of this Tha Tarro, wnJt -n .wflli coward. , gentlemen regular rag-baby under the bed, and hell never be seen in Cus ter again." A Shadow that Would Sot Out. . When, in the early days of July, John Abbott was brought from the steaming depths of the Union, his head crushed by falling wall plate, he was laid on the. floor of the office and medical aid sum moned to minister to his wants, although it was plain that he must die. Next morning Superintendent Rooney noticed whore the clvinir man had been placed that his outline lay like a shadow on the floor. He ordered the janitor to clean the boards whioh was done. Before Roooov went to dinner the shadow rear peared. He ordered the floor thoroughly scrubbed and went to bis family. The next morning the floor showed that vigorous application of soap and brush had been made and the floor was white aud clean. But during the day that shadow returned and at night there it lay as though the man was still waiting death on that floor. Next day Rooney ordered tho floor painted. With the coming of the paint pot the Bhadow vanished, but after a day or two returned and once more limned itself on that office floor. Rooney then again sent for the painter and had a second and a heavy coat of paint put on, not only where the shadow lay but over we enure noor. This was his last command of "Out, damned spot;" bnt it wonld not out. In a few days there it was again, and with each day it grew more and more distinct. Even strangers at lemrth began to notice it and to comment on its resemblance to human form. ' . Its presence at length became intolera ble and Rooney had all the boards of the floor on which this heavy and terrible shadow rested, taken out and replaced - with new. The paint brush then follow ed, and now that outlined figure from the floor has disappeared. Qold Hill News. How She Kept an Expense Acconnt. "My dear fellow," said Lavender, "it's all very nioe about economizing, and keeping a right rigid account of expenses and all that sort of thing, but I've tried it. Two weeks ago I stopped on my way home, Saturday night, and I bought just the gayest little Russia-leather, cream laid paper account book you ever saw, and a silver pencil to match it. I said to my wife,' after supper: 'My dear, it seems to me that it costs us lot of money to keep honne.' "She sighed and Baid: 'I know it does, Ldtvvy, but I'm sure I can't help it. I'm just an economical as I can be. I don't spend half as much money for candy a you do for cigars.' "I never take any notice of personali ties, so I sailed right ahead. I believe, my dear, that if we were to keep a strict account of everything we spend we could tell just whoro to cut down. I've bought yon a little account book, and every Monday morning I'll give you some money, and you can set it down on one side, and then, during the week, you can set down on the other side everything yon spend; and then, on Saturday night, we can go over it and see just where the money goes, and how we can boil things down a little.' t "Well, sir, she was just delighted thought it was a first rate plan, and the pocket account book was lovely. Well, the next Saturday night we got through supper, and she brought out the account book as proud as possible, and handed it over for inspection. On one side was, 'Received from Larry $20.' That was all right. Then I looked on the other page, and what do you think was there? 'Spent it all!' Then I laughed, and, of course, we gave np the account book on the spot, by mutual consent.' Yes, sir, I've been there, and I know what domes tic economy means, I tell you.'f Hat Weather Sympathy. It is a minister. He is quite preached out. lie wants a rest this hot weather.

"No, sir " she replied, "pa is not in at present. Did you want to see him personally?" "Yes,4 was the bluff response, feeling that she was yielding, "and very particular personal business," and he turned proudly to go away. "I beg your pardon," she called after him, as he struck the lower step, "but who h all I say called ?". He never smiled gain. This was too cruel. . . ' ' " The W. Ultm; w -' On s hot day in July, 1850, A nerihv man was moving bis cattle to ranch farther north, near Helena, Texas, audi while passing ' down the banks of a stream, other cattle that were grazing in the valley became mixed with his herd, and some of them failed to be separated. The next day about noon band of mounted "rangers" overtook the herds man and demanded their cattle, whioh they said had been stolen. It was before the day of law and courthouses in Texas, and one had better kill five men than steal a mule worth five dollars, and the herdsman knew it. He tried to explain, bnt they told him to "cut it short.'1 He offered to turn over all the cattle not his own, but they laughed at the proposi tion, and hinted that they usually confis cated, the whole herd, and left the thief hanging on a tree as warning to others . in like oases. The poor fellow was com pletely overcome. The Texans consulted apart for a few moments, and then told him if he hod any explanations to make, or business matters to attend to, they wonld allow him ten minutes time. He turned to the rough faces and com menced: i "How many of you have wives?" Two or three nodded. "How many of you have children?" They nodded again. "Then I know who I am talking to. and you'll hear me;'' and he continued: "I never stole any cattle. I have lived in these parts about three years. I j came from JNew Hampshire. X failed in the fall of 1847, during the panic. I have been saving. I have no home here; my family remain in the East, and I go from place to place. These clothes I wear are rough, and I am a hard-looking customer; bnt this is a hard oountry. Days seem like months to me, and months like years. Married men, you know that. Bnt for the letters from home (here he pulled out handful of well worn envelopes and letters from his wife) I should get discouraged. I have paid part of my debts. Here are the re ceipts," and he unfolded the letter of ac knowledgment. I expeoted to soil out and go home in November. Here is my little girl's picture." He kissed it ten derly, and continued: ; "Now, men, if you have decided to kill me for what I am innocent of, send these home, and send as much as you can from the cattle when I'm dead. Can't you send half the value? My family will need it." ; "Hold on, now; stop right thar!" said a rough ranger. "Now, I say, boys," he oontinncd, "1 say, let him go. Give us your hand, old boy; them letters and that picture did the business. You cau go free, but you're lucky, mind ye!" "We'll do more than that," said a man with a biir heart, and carrrinar the cus tomary revolvers and bowie knive in his belt; "Let s buy the cattle, and let him go home! They . did. and when the money was paid over, and the man about to start, he was too weak to stand. The long strain of houes aud fears, and the sudden de liveranoe from death, had combined to render him helpless as a child. He sank to the ground completely overcome. An hour later, however, he left on horseback for the nearest staging route, and as the rancrers shook hands and bade him good-bye, thev looked the happiest band of men in all Texas. The Theory of Daltonism. The diHchromia theory renders it easy to state what the sensations of color blindness are, although it is not easy for a normal-eyed person to imagine the appearance- and impressions so utterly strange to him which they lead to. The color-blind person has only two sensa' tions of color. One of them is excited most strongly by rays which the world call yellow, the other by rays which the world call blue; and hence all color-blind persons concur in giving these names re spectively to their two visible colors. Bnt their power of vision do not end here; they receive a vast number of sensations differing materially from pure yellow and pure blue, and which give great variety to their impressions of ma terial objects. In the first place, they have great varieties in the intensity or degree of saturation of the two colors themselves. In some cases the yellow is intense and full, as if the buttercup or tho pigment chromo yellow, at other bmes it is weak and palo as in the prim rose. And similarly in some cases the blue is very full and intense, as the color of the sky. But further, independently of these two colors, they have a white and a black prominent and as distinot to them as the normal-eyed. Whether the sensations correspond in the two cases is a matter of controversy; but this much is certain namely, that all objects which convey to the normal-eyed sensations of white and block, also convey to the color-blind person his sensations of white and black, for which reason he is per fectly justified in using, for such sensa tions, the same terms. Further, the color-blind person is quite incapable of appreciating the immense varieties of shade caused by the mixture of white and black in different proportions, form ing an almost infinite series of shades of gray. Then, lastly, all these varieties of gray may be combined with the various intensities of either of their two colors, forming different nuances of them, and so, still further, vastly increasing the varieties of sensation. Contemporary Jierieic. i Oatmeal as an Article of Diet. i It is surprising how enormously the consumption of oatmeal has increased in our cities within the past few years; bnt we suspect that its merits as a cheap and highly nutritious food are not so gener ally appreciated in the country. Every one knows how generally it is eaten in Scotland, and in some parts of England it is equally popular as an article of diet. A correspondent of an English exchange says: In West Cumberland, Westmore land and North Lancashire, especially in the rural parts, it forms the staple of our food, not only amongst the laboring classes, but also in the families of trades men and the well-to-do; the children of most of them have porridge at least once a day. For the past forty years 1 have made my breakfast of a pint of oatmeal porridge, with very rare exceptions, and and nothing else, fasting for hours after ward. If, however, I take any other form of breakfast, I find myself very hungry before the . next meal, which is never the case when I have hod my por ridge. I feel assured that if the laborers of the southern counties, with their chil dren, would but take a basin of oatmeal and mild porridge night and morning, with such other food as they can procure in the interval, we should have a much stronger and healthier race of men and women than now exist. A few years ago I had a Devonshire girl living with me as a servant. The girl was willing enough to work, but had not the stamina to per form it. This, I found, on questioning her, arose from the deficient and ill-advised diet on which she had been reared. She shortly began to take her porridge night and morning, and this, with a daily mid-day meal of meat, enabled her to perform her duties with ease. Gratitude of Elephants. A story comes from Tenbnry, England, where a menagerie has been paying a visit, which illustrates the well Known character of the elephant for humane feelings in a re markable degree. Among the animals was a fine female elephant, called Lizzie, which was attacked with a violent fit of colic and suffered intensely. A local chemist, whose success as an animal doc tor is well known, treated Lizzie and saved the animal's life. On the proces sion passing the chemists' shop on Fri day, the elephant immediately recognized her benefactor, who was standing at the door of his shop, and on going to him, gracefully placed (her trunk in his hand. The chemist visited the exhibition at night and met with an unexpected re ception from bis former patient. Gently seizing the "doctor" with her trunk, the elephant encircled him with it to the terror of the audience, who expected to, see him crushed to death ; but Lizzie had no such intention, and after having thus demonstrated her gratitude by acts more eloquent than words, she released the doctor from her embrace and proceeded with her appointed tank. - That elephant seems to possess a holier sense - of grati tude than some people do. . . ti we look over the pages of the direc tories of West Yorkshire and East Lan cashire, and strike out. the surnames, we could imagine we were consulting an ciently inscribed registers of Joppa or Jericho.

Heber Holdsworth on one page is faced by Er Hlingworth on the other. Asa and Joab are extremely popular, while Abner, Adna, Ashael, Erastus, Eunice, Benaiah, Aquila, Elihu and Philemon enjoy a fair amount of patronage. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, having been rescued from Chaldiean fire, have been deluged with baptismal water. I have lighted upon name after name that I did not know ex isted in the Bible at all till I looked into the .Lancashire and Yorkshire direc toriea. The Bible has decided the nomencla ture of the North of Entrland. - In towns use uidham, iiolton, Ashton and Black burn, the clergyman's baptismal register is but a record of Bible names. A cleri cal friend of mine christened twins Cain and Abel, only the other day. much against his own wishes. Another person on the Derbyshire border was gravely informed, at the proper moment, that the name of baptism was Ramoth-Gilead "Boy or girl, eh ?" he asked, in a some what agitated voice. The parents had opened the Bible haphazard, according to the village tradition, and selected the first name the eye fell on. It was but a year ago a little child was christened Tellno in a town within six miles of Manchester, at the suggestion of a cotton -spinner, the father. workman of the name of Lees, having askod his advice. ' 1 suppose it must be a Scrip ture name, said his master. "Oh, yes, that's of course." "Suppose you choose Tellno," said his employer. "That'll do," replied the other, who had never heard it before, and liked it the better on that account. The child is now Tell no Lees ("Lees being the Lancashire way of pronouncing "Lies") the father, too late, finding that he had been hoaxed. "Sirs," was the answer given to a be wildered curate, after the usual demand to name the child. He objected, but was informed that it was a scripture name, ana tue verse "Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" was triumphantly appealed to. This reminds one of the Puritan who styled his dog "Moreover," after the dog in the Gospel: "Moreover the dog came and licked his sores." There is, again, a story of a clergyman mailing tue customary demand as to the name from a knot of women round the font. "Ax her," said one. Turning to the woman who appeared to be indicated, he again askod, "What name?" "Ax her, she replied. The third woman, ieing questioned, gave the same reply At last he discovered the name to be the Scriptural Achsah, Caleb's daughter- nama, by the way, somewhat popular witli.our leretatners. Vurutnties of Tu ritan Nomenclature, Tub Scnday Sohooi. System. Robert Kaikes biotrrapher. Alfred Grecrorv. states that the Sunday school system, of wuicn ue was tue rounder, may be said to have originated in the Gloucester iails. one of which consisted of apart of Glon ceeter castle, a portion built in the reign of William the Conqueror. Long before John Howard began his work for the improvement of prisons, Kaikes had been laboring among the inmates of the castle, the condition of v,-uich was most wretched, and hod been accustomed there to teach gospel truths. These nhilan thropic lalwrs led directly, Mr. Gregory says, to the Sunday school work. He gives a letter from Raikes in which Raikes remarks that the utility of the Sunday school work was first suggested to him "by a group of miserable little wretches whom I observed one day in the streets where many people employed in the pin manufactory reside." He was told that if he were to pass through that street on a bnnday it would shock him indeed "to see the crowds of children who were spending that sacred day in noise and riot, to the extreme annoyance of all decent people." He immediately determined to make some little effort to remedy the evil. "Having found four persons," he says, "who had been accus tomed to instruct children in reading, I engaged to wav the sum reouired for re ceiving and instructing such children as I should send to them every Sunday. The children were to come soon after lu in the morning and stay till 12 they were then to go home and return at 1, and after reading a lesson they were to be con ducted to church. After church thev were to be employed in repeating the catechism until half after 6, and then to be dismissed with an injunction to go home without making a noise, and by no means to play in the streets." The tisrt school was opened at Gloucester in July 1780 A Quarter-Deck Chat "I must tell you," said a skipper, as he took a fresh cigar, "about Stues, ship mate of mine on one of my early voy ages. Stiles was a . simple-hearted, transparent young fellow, and, when we sailed, had been 'payin' attention' to a young lady, whom he had reason to think did not fully reciprocate his ardent feel ings. At all events, the parting on her side was not so affectionate as he could wish, and he was impressed with the lie lief that she only kept him as a standby, in default of a better offer. 'I don't believe,' Stiles would say with a despondent shake of his head. don't believe Ann Jones'!! have me any how.' "When we had been out a fewmontlis, and had met with fuir success. Stiles tone was modified. ' The burden of his monologue changed to "Well, I don'no but what Ann Jones 11 have me after all.' " With a thousand barrels under hatches he became still more hopeful. 'Chance is pretty good for Ann Jones," he would say. 'Pretty good now.' " - "At fifteen hundred barrels, he had assumed a self-satisfied manner, and thus soliloquized, 'I guess there's no danger but what Ann Jones U have me now. "At two thousand barrels 'Ann Jones 11 be glad enongh to get me now. know.' . "When we cut the last whale that was to fill the Rose, and squared away for home, Stiles threw his hat in the air, with a yell of triumph 'I'll be blowed if i-ll have Ann Jones, anyhow! "And he didn't." The Stovepipe Hat.

In the "Picnic Polka" the noise of the wind among the trees and the joyous carols of the "birds are repro duced, the finale being a thunder shower which disturbed the svlvan revellers. - It happens that a country . cousin is in towni jus now, ana the young lady tnougm bus wouia . piay the piece to mm ana hear his comment. He is a plain, Sim ple minded youth, and although he u not very bright.-is very appreciative. She told him what the piece was and then proceeded to give him the "Pionio Polka." The first notes are rather slow and hesitating, the idea Sought to be conveyed being tha solemn- solitude of the forest, through which" the gentle zephyr (not heifer) sighs. After she got through with this preface, she asked him if he did not almost imagine himself in a lodge in some vast wilderness." He re plied that he thought all that slowness meant the delay in getting off. Said he, "mere is always: some darned fellow that oversleeps himself and keeps every body else. waiting." , , . She did not care to discuss the point with the ignorant fellow, so to conceal her emotions, she once more let herself out on the piano. The bird whistled as if his throat would split, the cuckoo filled the sylvan bowers with bis repeated cry, while eyer and anon the mournful cooing of the dove interrupted the matin song of the lark. - "There, now, I guess you know what that sounds like," she said as she paused. "You mean that "'tootle, tootle, tootle, chug, chug, chug?' You just bet I un derstand that. . Many , is the time at a picnic I've heard it from the mouth of a demijohn or the bunghole of a beer keg." - -:'- -; Her first impulse was to hurl the piano stool at him, but it passed off, and once more she wont for the piano as if it was the young man's head and was insured for double its value. The thunder growled, the lightning flashed (from her eyes), and the first heavy drops are heard upon the leaves. She banged and mauled the keys at a fearful rate; peal after peal of deafening thunder perturbed the atmosphere and' re-echoed iu still louder reverbations until it wound up in one appalling clap as a grand finale. Then turning to the awe struck youth, she said: "I suppose you have heard something like that before?" "Yes, that's what the fellow with the linen pants said when he sat down on the custard pie." The audience found himself alone, but he picked up his hat aud sauntered out into the street, densely unconscious that be had said anything ont of the way. Galveston News. A Trlbste to Woman. The following beautiful tribute to woman was written several years ago. It occurs in a tale of touching interest en titled "Broken Heart" its author Dr. F. J. Stratton: : : Oh, the priceless value of the love of a pure woman! Gold can not purchase a gem so precious! Titles and honor con fer upon the heart no such serene haopi ness. In our darkest moments, when disappointment and ingratitude, with corroding care gathering thick around, and even the gaunt form of poverty men aces with his skeleton fingers, it gleams around the soul with an angel's smile. Time cannot mar its brilliancy; distance but strengthens its influence; bolts and bars cannot limit its progress; it fellows the prisoner into his dark cell, and sweetens the home morsel that appeases his hunger, and in the silence of mid night it plays around his heart, and in his dreams he folds to his bosom the form Of her who loves on still, though the world has turned coldly from him. The couch made by the hand of the loved one is soft to the weary limbs of the sick sufferer, and the potion admin istered by the same hand loses half its bitterness. The pillow carefully adjusted by her brings repose to the fevered brain and her words of kind encouragement survive the sinking spirit. It would al most seem that God, compassionating woman's first great frailty, had planted this jewel in her breast, whose heaven like influence should cast into forgetful -ness man's remembrance of the fall, by building up in his heart another Eden where perennial flowers forever bloom and crystal waters gush from exhaustless fountains. Gould's Stabt n Life. The million aire started as a self-made surveyor. He put his few rude instrument in a wheel barrow, and trundled it from point to point, very much as Fisk peddled alout the country in a wagon. One of the best maps of Delaware county has on the margin, "Surveyed by Jay Gould.", He had quite a nack for trading, was very sharp as a cattle dealer, and one time he got a lesson that lasted for a life. A far mer had a herd of cattle, and Jay went to look at them. In the midst of the bartering a woman apxeared who had a talk with the old farmer, and Jay catch ing a word or two, heard her imploring him not to sell her cow. "I shall die if you do," she cried. "What's the matter with that woman ?" asked Gould in his ?uietway. "Oh, nothing ; she's afraid am going to sell her favorite cow, old Pailful." Gould thought ho bad found a prize: Ho demanded that- the cow le brought out, and insisted when he saw her that she must go with the lot. The cattle were driven home, and Jay's father sent him to see what kind of a milker old Pailful was. Jay had hardly seated him self before the cow kicked him, pail and stool sky high, tore around tho pasture, leaped the fence, and started toward home. Jay has neyer bought anything from that day to this that a woman wanted to keep. South American Glacikbs. By let ters recently received in England from Mr. Whymper, we learn that his last as cents in Ecuador have been those of Cayambe, Saraurcu and Cotocaohi. . He has found very extensive glaciers on all these mountains, besides having previ ously discovored others on Chimborazo, Sinc'holagua, Antiaana, Cotopaxi, Illin iza, Barahuairazo and Qnilindana. How little is at present known of the" Andes of Ecuador may be judged from the fact that in the edition of "Encyclopaedia Britannica" now appearing, in the article on Ecuador it is stated that the crater of the mountain Altar is remarkable as con taining "the bed of the only real glacier known to exist in the Ecuadorian Andes." Mr. Whymper says that there are no gla ciers upon Corazon, Imbabura, or Pin chincha, but that among those upon the mountains which , we have enumerated above there are many glaciers which are as large as the largest Alpine ones, and that the upper 4,000 feet of Cayambe, Aatisana and Chimborazo are almost oompletelv enveloped by them. f Pall MaUGazetto. ; :l4 ,', The Rioht Kind of Pbide. The Giboa (New York) Monitor makes the following sensible remarks for the bene fit of young people; who are working their way. A young man "that works for his board," no matter- what honest work he does, has no reason for shame. A young man who eats the bread of idle ness,, no matter how much he has, is dis graced. All men starting in life ought to aim, first of all to find a place where they can earn their bread and nutter, with hoe, axe, spade, wheelbarrow, curry comb, blacking brushno matter how. Independence first. The bread and but, ter settled, let the young man perform bis duty so faithfully as to attract attention, and let him constantly keep his eye open for a chance to do better. About half the poor, proud young men, and two-thirds of the poor discouraged young men, are always out of work. The young man who pockets -his pride, and carries a stiff upper-lip, need not starve, and he stands a chance to become rich. ix he cares to, ardette tells about bis trip oh the sound, on the way to Nantucket. Says he: It is summer time: and the stars, the eternal, changeless, beautiful stars, just sit down a minute and let me tell you about those stars. : Very near us sat two young people. They sat up and looked at the stars, and they didn't care for any solitary thing, any nearer to this earth. ."Mortimer," she murmured softly, "Mortimer" hia name appeared to be Mortimer, , though I couldn't learn whether it was his front name or his after name "Mortimer dear ." she said, "if we could only live apart- from this busy and sordid, unsympathetic world, in one of yon glittering orbs of golden radiance. living apart from all else, only for each other, forgetting the base things of earthly life, the coarse greed of the world and its animal inBtincts, that would be our heaven, would it not, dear?" And Mortimer he said that it would. "There, heart of my own," he said, and his voice trembled with earnestness, "my own darling Ethel, through all the soft radiance of the day and all the shimmering tenderness of night, our lives would pas away iu an exalted at mosphere, above the base-born wants of earthly mortals, and far beyond the chattering crowd that lives but for to day, our lives refined beyond the com mon ken v- And just then the! man with the gong came out. Mortimer, be made a grab at the back of Ethel's hand and plunged for the cabin door. Down the stairs they rushed, collared a couple of chairs at the nearest table, feed A waiter and opened the action without skirmishing.

I have, during my wanderings, met several people who wanted to live in a star, where earth born people with ani mal appetites couldn't trouble them, and I always found the safest place for an earth born man, when the star born soul started for the dinner table, was behind a large rock. Distrust the aspiring mor tal who lives in a plain so elevated that he requires the use of a telescope when lie wnts to look down at the rest of us. And if he ever wants board at your hum ble table charge him $15 a week and feed him lots of soup, or you 11 lose money on mm. Lady Smokers. That a great many ladies in New York City indulge in the fragrant cigarette is an open secret. Indeed, the custom has become so universal that it can hardly oe caiiett a secret at all. It used to be very common for girls. when a party of them met in some quiet place, where there were no men, to take a few puffs at a cigarette for the sake of the forbidden fruit sensation. But now they are more bold about it, and I will venture to say that the majority of New York girls smoke cigarettes. A number of gentlemen have told me that their wives would take a cigarette after dinner when they took their cigar, and they ap proved of the custom. I knew one lady. one of the highest born in the land, who was an inveterate smoker until forbidden by her physician. , -' Spanish, Russian and Polish ladies smoke, almost as much as the men, arid no one thinks the worse of them for it. I should not like to see ladies smoke ci gars or pipes, bnt I see no impropriety in an occasional cigarette. mere is greas ninerence in tue way they are smoked. I have seen some women smoke a eigrrette so daintily that it was a beautiful sight to wateh tho delicate smoke curling np from their rosy lips. while others puff away in such a mascu line manner that one becomes thoroughly uisgusieu. a nave been at a. number of (tinner parties wuere cigarettes were paused around to the ladies when cigars were brought to the gentlemen. I am talking about the best people now, not .Bonemians. If the waiters of Delmonico's or the Brunswick would tell you, you would be surprised at the number of private par. ties where cigarettes are smoked by la dies. If you ask a lady plump out whether she smokes, she will evade the question until she has sounded your opinions, and it they are favorable, she will generally confess in the affirmative. I have heard some people say that they would ratuer see a woman drink than smoke; that they thought thelatter more masculine. I do not think so, and the cnects of a cigarette are certainly more innocent than of. champagne or whisky. jsmion courier. Popular Ideas op the Cross. In the west of England there is a tradition that the cross was formed of the mistle toe, which before that event used to be a fine forest tree, but has since been doomed to lead a parasitical existence. The gypsies believe that it was made of the ash tree. The nails used at the cru cifixion, said to have been found by Helena, are reported to liave worked many miracles. One of them was thrown by her into the Adriatio during a storm, and produced a perfect calm. Another. placed in the crown or helm of Constan tino, was found in a mutilated state in the church of Santa Crooe. The third is said to be in the possession of the Duemo of Milan, while that of Treves claims the fourth. In the time of Charlemange a new relic was discovered in the shapo of a sponge soaked in the blood of Christ. In Cheshire the Arum macula tum is called "Gethsemane," because it is said to have been growing at the foot of the cross, and to have received some drops of blood on its petals. "Christ's thorn" is a very common plant in Pales tine. -In Scotland it was formerly be lieved that the dwarf birch is stunted in growth because the rods with which Christ was sorourged were made from it. These are the popular ideas of the ma terial of tho cross, some of which will, perhaps, never be entirely obliterated until the last great day, when "all things shall be mode plain.' HOW THE PlUTES PUNISH THE Un- FArrHFun. From a party just in from Prospect mountain we learn that one week ago last Saturday, late at night, there was a terrible din in the vicinity of the Idaho mine, occasioned by whoop ing, yelling, daring savages. Mr. Thomas, foreman at the Idaho, con cluded it was a fandango, as did others who heard the racket and saw the flames. The other day Mr. Thomas happened to pass the spot where the remnants Of the fire were still smoking and fragments of the barbecue were scattered around. A close inspection showed that the fire had been built to wipe out a aqnaw. The skull, fragments of bones and a brass finger-ring were picked up. M. H. Joseph now has the ring, a cheap affair, such as is often worn by the squaws about these parts. It is smoked up and bears the evidence of having been sub jected to great heat. It is getting to be a serious matter for dusky maidens in these parts to flirt with white trash, and the Shoshone lords propose to squelch that business as in days gone by by cremating them on. the spot. Efureki (Key.) Sentinel. Queen Maboaebt at Napias. Queen Margaret is in Naples at the palaic of Capodimonte, and a story is related of her which explains the secret of her pop ularity among the people. A favorite eatable with the Neapolitans is the pizza, a sort of cake beaten flat in round form, and seasoned with various condi ments. The Queen sent for apizzainolo, who isiamoos for his skill in making these cakes, as she said "she wanted to eat like the poor people." ; The man went to the palace, was receive, and having shown a list of thirty-five varie ties of pizza, was sent to the royal kitchen to' make the kind which the Queen had selected. He made eight, which were the ideals of their kind, and the little Prince and his mother found them excellent, but to eat as the poor people in Naples eat that is often not all, and is more than, oould be expected. But she has visited the poor quarter of Naples, and sympathizes with tha misery she sees there. mi ASDMl'XOH Dairy fair The milkmaid. The ulster covers" a"multitud of shins.

"Gentlemen," said an amateur farmer just from the city, writing to the cliair man of an agricultural society, "put me down on yonr list of cattle for a calf." " During the six months ending July 1st, 177,000 immigrants from Europe," "of a better class than over before, landed at New York, most of them coming West. The failures in the United States for tho first six months of 1880 foot np 2,497, with liabilities of $32,888,763 against 4,058 failures, with liabilities of $05,779,300, for the corresponding period in 1879.

The best physicians are coming more to acknowledge that tubercular consump tion can be cured. Dr. Carl Booth of New York, a man eminent in the regular profession, claims that he is able to cure sixty per cent, of consumptives at all stages; and that it is easy to arrest the disease in its early stages. His aim is to secure live points: 1. To get the muscles which control the action of the lungs into such a con dition that they can draw the air forcibly into the finest passages, thus clearing the lungs of all phlegm and pus, and re establishing capillary circulation and res piration in the activity of the air-cells generally. 2. To establish perfect digestion, as similation and excretion. In this he does not seek what to people generally is the most nutritious and most easily- digested food, but such as the particular patient can most readily digt st and as similate. 3. To heal the tubercles by transform ing them into a cretaceous (chalk-like) mass. He secures this (1) with food rich in salts of lime; (2) certain miner als, such as lime and silica; (3) certain acids, such as citric, which promote the oxidation of effete matter. 4. To increase the activity of the air cells. This is accomplished by bringing the patients under the influence, as much as possible, of sunlight, ozone, fresh air, and bodily exercise. He says: "They sleep with open windows iu summer and winter, and go out every day. So im portant is out-door exerciMO that I insiat that my patients go out in the rtin, snow, dampness, and even in night air aud dew. I have had no instance for twenty years where a patient caught cold from such exposure. I only guard against strong head winds and extreme hot weather." 5. To prevent all unnecessary waste of the nervous force, and to employ the lat ter, as far as possible, in promoting tho nutrition of the system. Youth Com panion. The Stuvid Man. They were com plementing Francois Arogo once upon a time upon a scientific lecture which he had delivered, but the remark was made that he elaborated his explanations almost to prolixity. "Oh, yes, I know," replied Arago,"but that is not surprising. You see when I am lecturing I always make it a point of selecting the stupidest looking man in the audience and lectnring to him," ex- tilaining and re-explaining till I see that le understands me. Now, to-day the man I lectured at was the stup -" Enter a gentleman, who rushes up to the astronomer and shakes his hand warmly. "My dear Mr. Arago, what a splendid lecture yours was to-day not a word of it that a child could not understand. Y'ou saw how interested I was, I hope, becanse I noticed you were looking over in my direction from first to last." Unwritten History. In the life of every one there is an unwritten history. It may be better that this book is a book sealed to the world, and open to him only whose experiences are recorded therein. But sometimes a glimpse is had of the contents of this volume. The rec ord is of life experiences of the aspira tions of youth and their subsequent destruction, of the selfish friendships of the world and of the ultimate overthrow of all the early plans of life. Somehow or other, we seldom if ever attain the ends and purpose we desire, but after a struggle we drift helpless upon life's treacherous ocean. We pass away, and the little grave-mounds beneath which we slumber are oblitered by the tread of untold millions. After all we are not so important to this world as we sometimes imagine.
