JUilge StouliV .iui.etiu I'tni. Rather an interestiti; contest is in progress at tho Santa Fc Laud office, en titled the United States against O. P. Perry, and involving the latter's entry of 100 acres, which includes Monument rock, and is said to cover tho Brecnden mine, upon which .1 M. Breeden has been tit work for the jKist sis years. It is the old conflict between agricultural and mineral lauds. Judge Sloan on tho witness statu! said lie originally located the Breeden mine in 1SS2, anil afterward it was located by Breeden in ISSo, who has since worked it almost continuously Attorney Seward wanted to know if tho judge rode his "old roan pony" when he first discovered the mine, and was an swered in the ufHrmutive. The case will be on for Severn! days yet and is being warmly contested on both sides. Reference to the "old roan pony" is of local interest becauso of tho "magnetic influence" as frequently in times past claimed by Judge Sloan for this humble- repiv.-eiitative of the equine family , now supposed to be dead. It is related that this pony was n veri table magnet for the discovery of gold, silver, lead or copper deposits; in fiict.it is said that whenever, in going along tiny street, road or mountain path, hu crossed ground beneath which was pay mineral, his hair would immediately stand erect, quite on end. "like the quills of the fretful porcupine," and that his rider, Judge Sloan, would receivo a shock which warned him of tho pres ence, of mineral wealth beneath that ground, and this, it ii said, is the secret of tho judge's numerous mineral loca tions all over northern New Mexico. Santa Fe (N. M.) Special. Curious Instinct ot the Home. It is not an uncommon thing in the Ai-gentino pampas I have on two occa sions witnessed it myself for a riding horse to come home or to the gate of its owner's hoti.se to die I am speaking of riding horses that aro never doctored nor treated mercifully, that look on their masters as an enemy rather than a friend: horses that live out in the open, and have to be hunted to the corral orin closure, or roughly captured with a las so tis they run. when their services aro required. 1 retain a very vivid recollection of the first occasion of witnessing an action of this kind in a horse, although 1 was only it boy at the lime. On going out one summer evening 1 saw one of tho horses of the establishment standing un saddled and unbridled, leaning his head over the gate. Going to tho spot, 1 stroked his nose, and then, turning to an old native who happened to bo near, asked him what could bo the meaning of such a thing "1 think he is going to die," ho an swered, "horses often come to tho houso to die." And next morning tho poor beast was found lying dead not twenty yards from the gate, although he had not appeared ill when 1 stroked his nose on the previous evening, but when 1 saw him lying there dead ami remembered the old native's words it seemed to mo tis marvelous ami inexplicable that a horse should act in that way as if some wild creature a rhea, a fawn or dilo chotes had conto to exhale his last breath tit the gules ot his enemy and constant persecutor man. Longmau's Magazine. An Ifuliapiiy 1'aiiiily. John Regan has among iiis collection of animals two most remarkable speci mens, viz. ii cat and a dog. Tho latter is a .small fox terrier, and some six months ago gave bit lb to a litter of pups which are now well grown. Puss somo five days ago gave birth to three kittens. All went well the first day, but on the second Nellie, the dog, seemed to take an unaccountable fancy to the kittens and very calmly took possession of them, driving puss away Nellie watches over the kittens with jealous care, and snaps aud snarls at their mother wheianer she approaches. The dog is taken aa from tho kittens in tho evening to give pii&s a chance to become acquainted with iier offspring. Nellie keeps up a constant howling dur ing the night, and when released in tho moruing is with the kittens in an in stant, and puss is obliged to vacate tho cherished post of wet nurse and betake herself to a chair, which she occupies all day with the air of a policeman olT duty.

It is reported that tlio observers at Mount Hamilton have lately kept a sharp eye turned ujwti the shadow of one of the moons of Jupiter. This shadow teemed double, indicating that the tiny moon which cast it is also double.

Tltey Surprlno The rnglMimiMt hy th Rap idity or Their Work. Opposite to this house is a boarding thirteen feet high by over one hundred feet long, and in a few minutes 1 was to see a feat in bill posting such as seems hardly credible, now that 1 sit calmly down to write of it. A wagon having driven up, five men got out of it: one I recognized tis Mart Ready, Barnmn's boss poster, two were Americans in their neat duck overalls, and two were Hug lish bill stickers whoso appearance 1 would rather not describe. In two min utes sifter their arrival the duck over nllcd men bad out their tin cans full of paste and their eight foot long poles with brushes at the end. and were hard at it covering tho hoarding with paste from top to liottoni, from end to end. The Knglifihtiieii stood by with something like sneers on their faces, as who should say: "Well, there ain't much in that; wo can cover a boarding with paste, too." Another minute passed and Ready began handing out some carefully folded posters. The (Englishmen's faces relaxed a little, as who should say: "What aro they goin' to do now?" and they lcgan to whisper together. The two Americans seized one of tho folded posters, gave it a shake, ran the brush end of the long poles under It, raised it, gave a sweep and another sweep, and there on the boarding was a sixteen sheet poster, containing a fac simile of an open letter from P. T. Bar nuin, headed ".My Greatest Venture." Then followed a twelve sheet poster portrait of Bariiittn, a forty-eight sheet depicting the show tents tis they travel in America, a twenty-four sheet picture of Jumbo, a forty-eight sheet representa tion of the gallery of human freaks of nature, a thirty-six sheet portrait of the fair Indian snake charmer from tho Bowery, New York, a forty-eight sheet picture of tho menagerie, a thirty-six sheet portrait of the Mexican rider, a forty-eight sheet representation of tho elephants performing, a twenty-four sheet picture of the clownsanda twenty four sheet portrait of MissCIara O'Brien, tho Roman knife thrower. All along the tops and the bottoms of tho pictures "streamers" were pasted. Tho most remarkable fact, however, was that every one of these huge posters was slung up into position whole they had been pasted together befoto starting. The 100 by 1!1 feet was coveted in exactly fourteen minutes aud thirty seconds! There! That is something like bill stick ing. You ought to have seen tho faces of those linglishiiien. They were a study for Dickens. Of course a crowd gath ered, and, as the omnibuses stop at tho Cedars, you may guess there were some quaint remarks from the drivers aud conductors. Pull Mall Gazette. Almost as Good it .11 an us Her Itnilliei. There is living at a point on East bay, near Pensacohi. a remarkable family of four bovs at.d one young woman. The I boys consider their sister to be ono of themselves, she being in nearly every ro spect as handy as a boy should be, and sharing the labot s of her brothers. They can draw the lines of a ship, hew tho I timbers, build and launch her, and then I sail her around tho world. The sclioon i or Axel, a line little vessel which they have built, is at present somewhere- on the gulf under command of Capt. O., ono of the brothers, who is a most expert navigator. The other brothers and sister aro now engaged in building another and a larger vessel, which is well under way, and which, when completed and launched, will bo one of the stanchest crafts sailing tho Mexic sea. The draughtsman who furnished the lines upon which she is being constructed is one of tho brothers, the carpenters who are building her aro the draughtsman and his brothers and sister, and the master who will sail her will bo one of the boys, who will take tho remainderof the family for the crow. For miles and miles in all directions from the homo the hoys have scoured the for ests looking for natural crooks to bo used as timbers, a great many of which they have found and used its such. Tho work has so lar progressed that the stem will bo put in in a few days, when plank ing will bo in order. The vessel will be fashioned after the most approved pat tern, and she will measure, when finish ed, 80 feet over all, have a beam of 21 feet, and has now a keel of 71 feet in length.

Emperor Ego is tlio nickname Will iam II has won for himself here, writes a Paris correspondent, "1, me, my, mine," being pronouns that crop up con stantly in his speech and letters. His telegrams to Prince Bismarck, published us soon as they arrive, are models of the egotisticti I style. There's nothing pleases him more than to find himself repeated in print. The first Emperor William iiad served up to him in his old age, along with his breakfast every morning, two papers, of which special editions were cooked up exclusively for him. He was not aware of this. No journal was ever u cause of sharper cab inent bickerings than this one. Each minister wanted the lion's share of space, thus to influence the august read er. Bismarck eventually managed this special issue himself. The copy which met with his apptoval was known as "pap for tho emperor," who, long before his death, hud fallen farther into second childhood than any one suspected.

City children are undoubtedly happy in their play, but 1 cannot watch them without sadness and a regret that tho fuller pleasures of a country life will never lie theirs at tho time they aro best itted to enjoy them. The earnest plead ing for a leaf or blossom from the flower laden tourist as, returning from his out ing, ho passes up tho street; the eager band of merry children in pursuit of a wandering butterily fairylike visitor from a strange land tell of a formless longing for the unknown freedom of the woods and fields. What can wo do to add to the joys of a youth which is nil too brier' As you enter your high school, , these boys and girls enter on the serious duties of life Then follows tho strug gle for existence, and a severe ono it usually is. We cannot give all theso children homes in this country, we cannot give them till even an outing there; but wo i can give them playgrounds in the city: a very little plot hero and thero will do. Wo have reserved great parks and (squares which wo permit them to look at and sometimes to venture on. But as playgrounds theso aro practically use I less; they are accessible to eomparative I ly few. A vacant building lot in tho 1 proper district is far more to tho pur , pose. Happy is tlio boy who lives near one! Notice the evidences of constant use it shows, the small baseball "dia j mond" clearly outlined, every smooth place pitted with marble holes. What better investment could our cities make than to purchase small plots like this at intervals throughout tho city, tear down tho buildings, fill up tho cel lars, and leave them, with no forbidding sign, open to the children. Their little feet would soon grade and harden tho ground.

Frank M. Chapman iu St. Nich olas. Honest Now York Shop Girls. A gentleman who lives in Cincinnati returned homo a day or two ago after a fortnight's sojourn hero deeply impressed with the honesty of the Now York shop girl, On the day af ter his arrival in town ho went into a largo retail shop in Four teenth street and made somo trilling pur chase. The next day he missed a pockot bosk containing fifty dollars in currency. Ho thought that he had mislaid it iu his room at the hotel, and a diligent search was made for it. He gave it up us lost, and would have dismissed the matter from his mind had not the clerk of the hotel suggested that ho might possibly have left the pocketboolc in somo storo. Tho gentleman attached little impor tance to the suggestion, but about a week afterward he stepped into tho Fourteenth street shop and laughingly asked one of the floor walkers if a pocketbook coti- , mining fifty dollars had beeu found .there. Much to his surprise, an affirma tive answer was given, and in ti few seo- I mds his property was restored to him, Ho learned that the saleswoman from whom he had made his purchase found tho pocketbook on tho counter after ho had departed and promptly turned it in at tho office. "Are all your clerks as honest as that?" , jikod the Cincinnati man, "Certainly." replied tho superintend prt of the store. "We have never yet failed to return property lost in this storo to claimants who could provo their right to it." "Well, that beats souio towns." said tho westerner. "Hero's a 'V for tho saleswoman."
