CHEERFUL HARRY.
How He
ImpoMd upon a Yery Bad Man.
BY K. H. CLOTJGH.
See Srsncuco ArganauU ' - "Whenever Eel River Dan went on a "tear" consternation reigned in Pilot City. As soon as his strident whoop began to resound through the redwoods surrounding the village the citizens hushed their murmuring at lesser evils and silently skulked to their cabins, there to listen, with bated breath, for fm first, sounds of warfare sure to follow,
Dan's arrival in the town.Often times the guileless stranger unacquainted with the truculent ruffian's "record" was the victim; but as
rnlfi it was some obstinate lumber-
who sacrificed himself for more timid
men. It was a singular fact, and no matter how peaceably inclined Pilot City might be t. tliA moment Eel River Dan came down
from his mountain home "on a time" somebody had to sutler.' He was "bad" in the most literal sense of the word, and there were but few who dared approach him after T,Q had declared himself, "and turned
himself loose." But on this par
ticular occasion this bleak, windy w in TVhruarv. when the principal
inhabitants 01 mot uy uu s.iiu--icvi iUUUu the glowing stove that warmed the somewhat contracted limits of the Raftman's Home the- gaily chattering congregation had received no intimation of the approach of the mountain desperado. Kot a single whoop had he uttered as he strode through the sighing pines, not a yell announcing his coming had been heard by the peacesul residents of Pilot City, and when the gigantic frame of the "terror" darkened the -door of the Home a thunderbolt would not have pro" duced as much genuine surprise, not to call it astonished apprehension, in the breasts of those present as did the appearance of Eel River Dan. For an instant the assemblage sat petrified. Thefl there was a fluttering movement, and Big Mike, the boom hand, made a break for the rear door. The others only waited to satisfy themselves that Dan was "on it." This important doubt having been dissipated, and the conclusion arrived at that the mountaineer was in an unusual disagreeable frame of mind, the remainder of the company withdrew rather precipitately it must be confessed, but with sufficient order and regularity to escape injury in the crush at the side door. As soon as the last boot heel had passed over the threshold Dan smiled it was not a very seraphic smile, to be sure, but, notwithstanding its sardonic character, there could be no mistaking it for a frown or a scowl of displeasure. With a grimace still irradiating his bloated features, the desperado passed behind the bar, and with a free4wiu peculiar tc his loose habits, grasped the demiiohn containing an unusually
ardent article of lumberman' solace. Throw
ing the jug deftly into the hollow of his right arm, he povred the yellow distillment into a glass which he held in his left hand, allowing the liquid to mark four fingers before he threw the muzzle up and
returned tile demiiohn to its shelf
beneath the bar. He contemplat
ed the contents of the glass for a moment, held it up to the light, smacked his lips in anticiDation of the iov it was about to con
fer upon him, and then placed the edge of 1 . , t . 1 . 1. . : i' 1. .
tne tumoier gingeny 10 111s uiuuiu, as u uc would prolong .the delight of feeling it trickle down his copper-plated throat into his sheet-iron stomach. Inch by inch his ruby nose went upward, and dn; by drop, the whiskey flowed downward. The last slobule had iust passed between his teeth
when his fiery-red eye, glancing through the bottom of the glass, fell upon an object, the sio-ht of which seemed to paralyze him. He
could not believe his senses. He imagined
that some defect in the glass through which
he was taking his observations must have produced the vision that ereeted his gaze. It
could not possibly! be the form of a man
standing there beside the stove! What an
idea! "What mortal individual would have the hardihood to remain when he, Eel River Dan, the terror of the entire lumber region,
from 3Ien4ocino to Trinity, saw fit to enter a place of resort! Ah! no, it certainly mild not be a real, livinsr. flesh-and-bloood.
human being; it was probably a straw dummy set up by those confounded hulks that had justleft,and the insult thus offered would afford an excuse for a general cleaning out of the whole town. So he placed the glass on the bar, and, leaning upon his elbows, leveled his gaze still more intently upon that "dummy." Great Cesar's ghost! it moved.
"Was it the wind swaying a bundle of clothes stuffed with straw? " Or was it By the
great boom that swings over the river Jordan! it rubs its hands. It is a manl Never before, during a career checkerfd by almost
dailv surprises, had Eel Kiver Dan ever ex
perienced such a sudden shock of astonish
ment. Eor 10 Seconds by the bar-room clock he was powerless, speechless, wellnigh
lifeless. Then he raised his hands to his face and leaned his cheeks upon them while
he studied the apparition beside the stove.
It was a little man, a hollow-chested, cav
ern-cheeked, mild-eyed, meek-looking man
Pitv had never been a distingu'i'.ang trait in
the composition of Dan's nature, but as he
gazed upon this ragged, forlorn looking being a feeling akin to sympathy began to usurp the place of surprise in his breast, and it was in a tone almost tinged with kindness that he addressed the sickiy vagrant. "Bin var long?"
"Eh?" , The reply sounded like the gurgling of Hood through the sink pipes of a dissecting room. "Aint bin loafin' 'round thet yar stove mor'n a minute or two, hev ye?" Dan's tone was so insinuating, and his intention -to avoid hurting the poor fellow's feelings so evident, that a man with perceptive faculties developed to any degree whatever would have understood the kindly motive. But the rash man at the stove must have been abnormally obtuse, for he gurgled forth the exasperating reply: "Ever sence those other roosters lit out." "What!" Dan's eyes were dilated with the intensity of his emotion. Wrath was taking the place of pity. The little man made no reply, but rubbed his hands and held them, palms outward, in front of the warm stove. "Mebbe you wasn's payin' pertickler 'tention to w'at made 'em git up. an' dust." It was a forced calmness thas permeated Dan's manner as he made this last remark.
"Didn't know but w'at ther was a dog
fizht or somethin' down the street."
"Dog fight or somethin'," sueered Dun, Teaching for a glass; mebbe yer not acquainted 'ith me." . 1 "Who're vou?" The man at the stove did
not make this inquiry as if he had any par
ticular desire to ascertain the identity of his
interlocutor, but gurgled it in a. mechanical
way like a phonograph or an automatic
talking machine. -
"I'm Eel River Dan, stranger, an' I'm
bad."
If Dan imagined that this announcement would discompose the vagrant, he was mistaken. It had no more effect than so much
wind, and the stranger did not even appear
to notice the remark. "D'ye hear, vou cadaverous galoot? I'm
Eel River Dan, an' Im on it bigger'n a WOlf." - . -,., .
"Thet's all right I ain't objectinV "You ain't eh? . Well I don't s'pose ve

"Somethin o triet Kind j. wasn t penwKlerly anxious to hustle 'round and find out

"1 b lieve yer lyin stranger; out aiore a perceed any father 'ith your case, I'll give ye the true bizness; them huskies slid out 'o this var place a 'cause they saw me comin' in thet door over thar see the door?" "Its thar, I reckon," answered the little man, who had turned his back to the stove, but who did not take the trouble to resume his former position for the purpose of verifying the bad man's assertion that a door absolutely existed in that particular side of the apartment. J
"Well, mv eosumptive friend, 'taint to late

Don't kecr how it come out," answered the hollow-cheeked individual, in his most woebegone tone of voice. ' . "Don't, eh? Yer sure ye don't want to know w'ich dog licked?" "Ain't bettin' a continental red on nary

There was a ehost ot emphasis in tne
latter portion of this speech, but it was almost wholly choked by the gloomy sad
ness ot the tone in which it wasutterea.
It's purtv rough, blamed ef it am t, So
liloquized Dan, edging around toward the end of the bar. "I d as soon tackle a raft o'
nieasley babies, but it's got down to a ground hog case, an' ef I don't do somethin' purty soon, the boys '11 be kickin' mo from one end of the county to the other. It's got to be did. Ther's no help for it. I say, sickly, mebbe ye'd like to say a word or two afore it happens.
"What happens. "Why, w'ats goin' to happen w'en I turn

"Aint got not nuthin' to say." "Any place, partickler, ve'd like to be
hauled to, arter the matinee?"
" VV hat matinee? "W'at matinee! The matinee thet's goin'
to open up in one minute by thet yar clock."
"Don t know nuthin about it. "You'll know mor'n you want to afore I

"Cheertul Marry. "Age?" "Forty-four." "Born anywhar?" "Massouri." "Bizness?" "Herdin' sheep."
"Cheerful Harrv forty-tour born in
Missouri sheep herder. Is thet kerrect?:
"Jverrect.
"Mebbe you'd like ter hev a verse or two

kind."
"Nary varse." "Don't feel like lightin' out I s'pose?" "I'm comf table." "Are, are ye?" "Never felt more comf table in m'life."
By this time Dan had approached very
close to the little man, and he appeared to be
attempting to stir up latent wrath sufficient
to "open the matinee. Je hesitated tor tne
last time as he remarked:
"Sav, Cheerful, youd feel a mighty sight
cheerfuller ef vou was out hunting up the
perticklers o' thet dog flsht."
The reply came laaen witn tne very quint
essence ot contempt:
"lou be !
There was a sudden out-reaching of Eel River Dan's Ions arm a ringing crash as
the stove-pipe came down a gleam of steel
a bending of two forms a hoarse howl of
rage and pain another crash as the blended
forms reeled over upon the card table, ana
through that frail piece of furniture to the floor more gleaming steel more hoarse howls of despair and pain and Cheerful
Harry quietly returned to his position be
side the stove, unconcernedly wiping a
frightful looking knife on his coat sleeve.
Dr. Squills was of the opinion that if Dan eould survive the wound under the fourth rib he might, in the course of four or five
months, be able to leave his room. Dan did
survive the wound under the fourth rib, but
nobody saw him leave his room. Dr. Squills
was again appealed to, and he gave it as his
opinion that Eel river Dan, no longer the
redoubtable Eel River Dan of yore, had left in the night. Be that as it may, he never troubled Pilot City again, although he must have been aware of the fact that Cheerful Harry had
returned to his pastorial pursuits in the
mountains of Trinity.

A Model Minister Hear Him. New York Herald.J
' 'Tis not often that we find a minister describing himself and bia style and pulpit
abilitv as this one did recently to a church
in Indiana that needed a pastor and was
looking around for the right man. He bailed
from rew York, and thus described mm
self: "I am a Princeton Presbyterian of the sainted Dr. Hodge type, a little past middle
life, with constitution and health 01 tne very best: not married: have been preaching
over 15 years; am of Scotch stock, with a

others because I treat them kindly. As read

using five or six languages, most of the mathmematical signs and -many arbitrary
characters, a language of my own making.
I write the thoughts, not the words. None
can read them but myseu. men, 11 tne mind trips I have the certain help before me to recover myself by the glance of the eye, and also to keep my sermons (the tbonghts), to reproduce them at will. While I have perfect freedom in speaking, I try to strike 30 minutes, but to do so have to watch my watch. I seldom see much sleeping in sermon time, and when exchanging with brother Methodists in their churches often hear from the "amen" corner. As to salary, fix it the most you can give and pay it on the day promised."
"I hear a whisper," said the minister. He was soaring a little in his sermon, imagining an angel to be hover near and speaking. The deacon was just dt wsy enough to be startled by the remark . and to reply, hastily, "I guess it's the.boyi in the gallery." .
London Correspondence of the New York Tribune. There is a report I really can not say at this moment whether well or ill founded that Mrs. Langtry is going to America in the autumn. If it be true, then you will be able to test for yourself the English standard of beauty. For Mrs. Langtry, though subjected during two seasons to the severest competition, remains the acknowledged queen among those ladies to whom society pays homage for their good looks. She is still at the head of the professional beauties, as people choose to call them. The name is convenient and has pat sed into general use. . It must not be understood as conveying any
reproach whatever. It is to be said 01 Airs. Langtry but for the word "professional' it would not require saying that her name has been for two years" or more, on everybody's lips and" in every gossiping paper without being
ASSOCIATED WITH ANT SCANDAL.
This is true, absolutely true, although it was
the Prince of Wales who first took .note of
her attractions, and who first brought her
into notice and made her the most famous
woman in London. I don't scruple to write
thus freelv about a lady whose life is, in the - . . 1 1 ,
proper sense 01 the wora, passea wnony in private society, I don't scruple, I say, because she has "herself borne a great deal of publicity without objection ; and even with some appearance to liking the kind of celebrity to which she has been exposed. For that matter, I have seen her name often
in American papers, and it she goes to tne
United States, she will be sure to nna tniu
her fame has preceded her. Nor does Mr.
Langtry seem to dislike tne renown wnicn connects itself with his wife's beauty. The renown has long since spread all over the
United Kingdom. 1 heard a siriKing prooi 01 it last summer. I had been staving nt a
countrv-house in Scotland, and on my way
to another part of the Scottish world was passing through Inverness. Mrs. Langtry had been there the day before. Inverness
is pretty well in the extreme North of Scot
land, and is its last considerable town in
that direction. A friend whom 1 met at the hotel told me then that Mrs. Langtry's arrival had been announced in the local paper.
an that she had been met at the railway station by a great company of curious spectators. She had ventured into the street a little later, and had been mobbed in true
Londonj fashion. A. crowd followed her wherever she went. She made the journey
next dav down the Caledonian canal and
had been mobbed in the boat. She had
stopped, as most people do, to see the Falls of Towers if I recollect the name rightly
and had been followed by a multitude up the steep path which leads to them. I stopped
there myself a day later, and the beggars
who line the road had still something to say
of Mrs. Langtry. On the steamboat itself,
passengers appear to have sj-ant their whole
time in adoration beiore me iangiry snnne
to the utter neglect of the wonderful scen

nearlv the whole length of tne canal, in

MRS. LANGTRY'S REIGN
has lasted, the curiosity to see her has never subsided. The occasions for gratifying it
are, nevertheless, 'many. You may see her
riding in the Row from VI to z in the morn
ing; remarkable always for the faultless fitting of her habit and for the throng of cavaliers about her. If not riding, she may be met walking in the promenade by the side of the Row. Later in the day you may see
her at a flower show, a picture exhibition, or
a bazaar. Her services are in request for
charitable purposes, and the stall over which
she presides is a fountain of wealth to the poor. At the last performance of this kind, held in the Duke of Wellington's riding
school, she appeared as a flower girl, and

It was darkly hinted that one elderly ornament of the social world enhanced the Drofits of this particular charity by the sale
of introductions (good for five seconds) to
Mrs. Langtry. But this is pronaoiy no more true than' that the Church of Rome in for
mer ages sold indulgences. And yet there
have been eve-witnesses to both, and even
the names of those who paid for the privi
lege. If it be a Sunday you have a chance
of finding her in the afternoon at the Zoo

to contemplate her in a carriage, slowly ad

drawn upon no knowledge I may have acnuired within anv four walls where the
sanctity of private life is or once was pre

do so. But I may mention that I once met this wonderful creature at a breakfast which had so much of a non-private character that my host assured nie that I was quite at

handkerchief to a gentleman who was skeptical on this point, and asked him to try. The modeling of tho temples is singularly
fine, the arch of tho brow delicate; the eyes are sapphire blue, set in an orb of tender curve; the hair, which is soft brown, is worn low enough over the forehead to mark the contrast of color with the eyes:

of it as a whole is bevond denial. It is of

A Cantata, In Texas. Bradford Era.
We are prone to form a bad opinion of
the morals of Texas bv the reports that aro
conveyed to our ears throughthe venal press. One would be led to believe that every citi
zen carries from six to ten revolvers, to say
nothing of a few dirks and several torpedoes
in his coat tail pocket, isow, 1 am pleased
to correct this false impression, having but
recently returned from that Mate, where 1
attended a cantata of "Queen Esther." Will
you let me tell the gossipers how the affair
passed off I St. Jwilliad is a pleasant town
near the Mexican line. It is noted for its docility. No one is allowed to carry more
than six pistols at once there, and tne magis
trate recently lined a dead nigger ior carry
mg a shot-gun concealed about his person
The Sunday-school scholars are made to do-
posit their pistols in the vestibule before
school opens, and no minister is permitted
to keep more than two shot-guns in the
pulpit.
The cantata, the first ever gotten up at
St. Killiad, was a sublime affair. Hobson
Hall was filled at an early hour. During the opening chorus a strange noise was
heard behind the stage, and tne manager said that their Haman"had accidentally shot
himself while practicing with Mordccai and
Bill Biggs was substituted, uiu lonnwun
made His appearance, with pants stuck in
boots, in the most nochalant manner, and began to call Mordecai a second-hand clothing store and other pet names. 1 saw at once
that Bui had the heart ot the audience, lor
cries of "Go in Bill!" Give 'em!" came from every part of the house. I really think
that Bill actually believed himself to be Ha
inan; but ho was linally coaxed irom the stage by the muzzles of several shot-guns, that were poked at him from the wings, and
Ahasueras came on.
"Bully for Ahaz!" yelled a boy in the gal
lery.
Tho Assyrian king stopped suddenly and
looked ud at the enthusiastic youth.
"See here," he said, "this is a religious Elay, and decency has to be observed. That ov forgets that this is the State of Texas,
and we are agoing to have order if weve to
p-et it with the pistol. I'm plaving Ahasuerus
just now, but after the show I'll be Sam Tur
ner again, and it any man wants to see me then !ie can make his wants known."
The cantata proceeded but I felt uneasy.
I thought that, for an Assyrian, Ahasuerus handled his revolver in a very careless manner, but somebody said it was natural. The king hardly got seated on his throne when Haman rushed from one - of the wings and said that he understood that two Mexicans
were in the house, and that he "would n t
play until they were put out. ' A sacred concert shouldn't be spoiled by the. presence of a couple of lousy Mexicans. His remarks were greeted with tumultuous applause, and a sudden tussle near the door followed. The
next day the coroner held an inquest on the bodies of Rive Golaid and San Jose Migneh two Mexicans who had displayed bad sense
in attending a sacred concert in bt, Jvilliad.
After the tussle just referred to the cantata
proceeded.
Mordecai wasn't the meek-looking fellow
I had expected to see. He was a six foot chap, with a piratical moustache, who remarked to Hainan in hearing of one-half the audience that he was the "man eatin' alligator of Texas." - He' certainly in appearance
bore out his remarks. Ho and Ahasuerus had several spirited interviews, and once
while Esther was singing for the king. Mor-
deeaf s revolver was accidentally discharged
killing the boy who was overhead helping
to manipulate tho scenery. As the
hanging of Haman approached I moved to
ward the door, t rom some side remarks which I heard Haman drop on his downfall, I expected a lively time. I knew that Bill Biggs would not be seized without a desperate resistance, so I sloped'. It came just as I expected. The king and his body-guard
made a rush lor ilaman. anu me iun ueirau.
Bill irot tho drop everywhere. Bullets
whistled through the auditorium, but not a
man moved except one reu-suin u-uuw
from Galveston, who jumped on tho stage
and kocked Ahasuerus down.
The next , morning I heard all this
summed up as follows: Haman shot in tho mouth and cut in the groin; Mordecai killed;.
Ahashuerus nose broken and snoi in me thigh; two Assyrian officers badly wounded; Oueen Esther badly bruised. The St Kil
liad Weekly Buckshot called it one of "the liveliest cantatas ever witnessed in the State and hoped it would be repeated at some future day."
"Billy, didn't I have a bally Fourth o'
July, though?"
Billy -Kill anybody?"Tommy "Yes; shot a man dead from the garret window. Hush! Keep it dark!" Billy "I shot a girl In the arm, too. Keep
it dark! Let it go no further!"
Tommy "Less K J buy sum more ball car
tridges."
Thousands suffer without knowing the na
ture of this almost universal complaint. It

first stages, but more commonly in its advanced stages, attendedwith peinsln chest or left side, and under the sdoulder blades. Indigna
tion usually attends Catarrh ; a hacking cough and colds are very common, some have all
these symptoms, others only a part. Very lit
tie pain attends Catarrh until the liver an the lungs are attacked in consequence of stream of pollution running from the head
the stomach.
All persons thus affected take oold easily and
have frequently a running at the nostrils; the
breatb sometimes reveals to all aronnd tne corruption within, while the patient has frequently lost all sense of smell.1 The disease
advances covertly, until pain in the chest, lungs or bowels startles blm; be hacks and ooughs, has dyspepsia, liver complaint, and Is
urged by bis doctor to take this or that; perhaps cod liver oil is prescribed. Perfectly ridiculous! The foul ulcers In the head cannot be reached by pouring such stuff into
the poor, laded stomach. The patient becomes nervous, the voice Is harsh and unnatural, he feels disheartened, memory loses ber power Judgment ber seal, gloomy forebodings bang overhead; hundreds, yes, thousands In such
Circumstances, feel that to die would be a relief, and many even do cut the thread of lire to end their sorrows.

grave all caused by And the results of. Nasal

Now I can speak for hours with no difficulty, and can breathe freely in any atmosphere. Mtr enm is certain, thorough and perfect, and
is indorsed by every physician who has ex

FROM THE CHANCELLOR OF THE UNI
VERSITY OF NEBRASKA.
T. P. CHiLTje Dear Sir: I tmnk you have tne true theory and practice for the cure of Nasal Catarrh, and also for the treatment of the reBDiratory organs. My throat Is now so well
restored that I lecture daily without difficulty, &nrf I find no difficulty wnatever In preach
ing. You are at full liberty to use mj name
for the benefit of others. Yours very truly, . E. B. FAmnxLD, D. D LL. D., Lincoln. Neb.

Many surprising incidents of peculiarly dis
tressing cases, cured, wui De aent on application. CONCLUSION. It Is now a well established fact that Chllds' Catarrh 8peclflo,for thoroughness, completeness and efficiency, has no equal
in the world. Everything known to tie good for Nasal Catarrh In ail its horrid forms, in the head, throat and bronchial tubes, arranged
into one complete eynwjiii w mwuuobi. Do not trifle with some cheap thing, which at best can not afford but temporarary relief, while the roots of the vile disease are left to strike deeper and deeper. Be in barftbst and thorough, or do nothing! Circulars, price lists and all necessary information for self-treatment at home, can be had by addressing (with return stamp),
