For when old Black Sal was too weak for tbe tide, lie fetefced ber out with a stroke that was fine, nd when Cowboy Jimmy lay Baton the floor. And Billy Niles had bis kmle at bis throat, pick f ho wed his shooter a loot or more, Aud made two air notes in William's coat. Ye, Dick is a jewel every Inch, iom the crown of his Jell to the soles of bis socks. CDe never from dancer or death to flinch, But who oft in l tie lace ol misfortune mocks! For ence he wu out on the prairie land 'ouDtinx tbe cattle with Samm v Spears, AYl.cn, jot i as the evening was close at hand, An oinicous yelping fell on their ears. What is that? Wolves? Why. blast my eyes, Tt.ey are running; ahtad on railroad time! And now 1 see 'em as thick ss Hies, Their suouts all sooty with blood and crime. And only six-shooters to keep 'em clear! Well ! We must make the doby but Fefoie the Termin are on our rear. And get inside with the hatches shut." Ch er the plain they flew as the rail Trampling gramma era down like weeds. With a pack ol a thousand upon their trail And the sweat starting out in icy beads. They reached the ranch at a breakneck speed, They rushed for tbe door and burst right in; Swore ach rider and winched each steed. For cIom: at their heels was the deadly din! VI at do they find üben they're all inside And bolt the door with au iron bar? A broken panel almost ? wide As the window pane '.! a railway car.

The howling pack can find nothing to do Hut scalier and scamper away in au boar. A will laugh follows their rude rebuff With a parting powderless pistol's click, Tho' a gash in bis bosom tells plain enough Of the recent peril ol Di'mond Dick. Yep.

Women kise each other when they meet, . and prize lighters shake hands. Very few men are so stingy that they will not sLare a kiss with a pretty cirl. Long courtships are to be avoided especially when they last until 3 o'clock in the morning. A case is on record where a barber and his victim were botn happy. The barber talked rn without interruption, and the latter was deaf. Toledo American. How can a woman ex pect to write poetry, it ben she is herself a poem? How can the lily produce anything lovlier than itself, or the rose a perfume sweeter than its own? Dr. Moore. No, indeed; there's no place like home," signed the married man who tripped over the coal shuttle and fell into , wash tab while fumbling around for a match to light the kitchen lire. "Whither departs the perfume of the rose? Into what life does music's golden sound?" asks Celia Thaxter in a poem. Presume they go the same way as the odor of Limburger cheese and a blast on a fog horn, "Do you ever gamble?" she asked, as they sat together, her hand in his He replied "No, but if I wanted to now would be my time." "How so?" "Because I hold a beautiful hand." The engagement is announced. She was a sweetly inexperienced young housekeeper as one may gather from her remark when some one suggested that she s-l.ould purchase spring mattresses. "Yes," she replied, "if they are in season we'd better Lave some." A Scotchman standing by the family grave, faid: "There lie my grau'father and my gran'mither, and my ain father and roither, and there lies my brither Uob, and my puir jrirl Jennie, and there lies my wife; and, if J'm spared, here I'll lie too."

"Ah, well," said the cynical gentleman, "don't worry yourself about her beginning. She'll doubtless know bow to talk many years before she kEOwshow to stop. Arkansas Traveler. Statistics state that there are two million widows in tbe (ierraan Km pi re. ' It lias heretofore been understood that young men leave (Germany for this country in order to escape compulsory military service, but after reading the foregoing statement we are in possession of a much better reason for their emiration. A Ciiia go man wanted a divorce because Iiis wife persisted in singing hymns. The court just laughed at him, and he would Lave lost his case had not bis lawyer summoned the wife to the witness stand and started her singing; At the end of the fifth verse the court threw up the sponge and the divorce was granted. A rural young lady visited the Philadelphia Zoological Garden, and when she returned borne bbe told her mother that one of tbe monkeys spoke to her. A girl who can't distinguish a dude from a monkey should be given a few lessons in natural history. The monkey is the most intelligent looking, but doesn't wear such ridiculous clothes. Norrietown Herald. "ilary," said a Philadelphia mother, the other morning, "Mary, I heard you coax young Mr. Blank to remain as he arose to go when the clock struck ten last evening. Alary, it was wrong in you; why did yon do o7" "Why, now," artlessly replied the luaiden, "Mr. Blank is very good company, and you Know you have always taught me to keep good company, and I have kept him." A New England lady was asking her cook. tbe other day. about a waitress she proposed to hire, and said: "Mary, is she Irish'.'" "No ma'am," said Mary'she's American." "What is her name, Alarv?" Uridelt O Conner, ma'am." "Why, then of coarse she is Irish, Iary." ''No, ma'am she was born in Lynn.' "Ob, but that makes no difference, Mary; ahe is not an American." "Well, in faith, erhaps she ain't ma'am. The tell me tbe real one s is red.' A mral Tiaptist minister in Hawkins Coun ty, Tennessee, just before the war of the clump sucker vanity somewhere in his ser mon entertained his congregation as follows: ".My dear brethren, ah, as I was coming to church, ah. J met a skeptic, ah. He asked me if 1 believed the Bible, ah. I told him I 'did, ah. If I believed that story about tbe Ark, all, and about the raven sent out of the Ark that never came came back. ah. J told Iii id I believed it all, ah. Well, said the Peptic, I have one question to ask. ah; if that raven never came back, (pointin? up to the sky ) he asked where did all these ravens

Beauty to Ute Hand. Two charming younj women were discussing one day what it is which constitutes beauty in the baud. The1 differed in opinion as nicch as in the shape ol the beautiful member whose merits they were discussing. A young gentleman presented himself, and by common consent the matter was referred to him. It was a delicate matter. He thought of I'aris and the three poddessc s. Glancing from cne to the other of the beautiful white hands presented to him. which, by the way, he had the cunning to hold for some time in his own for the purpose of examination, be replied at last: "I give it up; tbe question is tcohard for inejtmt ask the poor, and they will tell you that tbe most beautiful hand in the world is the hand which gives." Ber Experience. "Yes," said Mrs. Brownsraith, "I want a good girl, and possibly you might do; but have you had any experience?" "Ixparience is it?" replied the damel, resting her hands on her lips and tossing her head in the air; "ixparience, is it? Faith, and haven't Oi been in no less than twinty families during the past month?" A Fearful Apprehension. (Texas Sittings. "I expect your busband will just coin money during the fair," said a neighbor to Mrs. Schaumburg. "I hepe so," was the reply, "but I vash not sure " "Why, there will be thousands of people in Austin, and he can't help selling a great many Ofds." "Yes, 1 know dot, but I vas afraid Mose gets one of his honest spells again. Every vonce in a great vile he vas afflicted mit one of his honest spells again, and den he makes no monies, and it vas sach a long time since he had one of dose honest spells dot I vash afraid it comes upon him shoost ve'n de fair vash going on, and den ve makes no monies."

RELIGIOUS IMTKiaaOEMOJB AND IROIDENT. The next Triennial Congregational Council will be held in Chicago in The week of prayer for 1881, according to the recommendation of the Committee of the Evangelical Alliance, will be from Jan. G to Jan. 15, "Fear God and take your own part" is inscribed on north Dakota's coat of arms. This entitles every citizen to a Church pew and a navy six. Tbe God of the Bedstead, the chief idol of the Chinese women, consists of a rice bowl, with two pieces of red ribbon on the bottom of it, two cakes of yeast and twelve leaves culled from as many different trees. - It is casually mentioned that there Jare at leat one clergyman who consider themselves fully qualified to succeed to tbe rectorship of Grsce Church in New York. The salary is $10,000 with a charming rectory rent. Like the American Board, the American Missionary Association closes the year without debt, having received gJl'J.öoT during the twelvemonths. Dr. Withrow will preach its anniversary sermon in the Central Congregational Church, Brooklyn, Tuesday evening. A conceited young country parson, walking home from Church with one of the ladies of his congregation, said, in allusion to his rustic audience, ("1 preached this morning to a congregation of asses" "I thought of that," observed the lady, "when you called them beloved brethren." The church of England shows signs of increasing activity and prosperity. According to a statement made by Mr. 11 W. Henneker, ot Sherbrook, Canada, before the Episcopal Convention, England has, duriug the past thirty years, increased her clergy to the number of 2,000, and her churches to O.OX) She has raised ?i"iO,COO,000 for the building and repairing of Churches and Cathedrals, and $500,000.000 for endowments. In the city of Jerusalem three Sundays are observed in every week. The Mohammedans observe Friday, not by closing their shops and resting, but but by going to the Mosque at certain hours and reciting prayers. The Jews observe Saturday, being very strict as to their conformity to ancient custom and ordinance. They close their shops and are not often seen on the streets until afternoon. Then they appear in their best clöthes. Sunday is observed by the Christians of various denominations, On that day the flass ny vv?uiic3 vi wie vnnsuan na tions. The committee appointed several years ago to formulate a creed for the Congrega tional Churches made no report to tbe National Council held last week, and it is said that the committee learned that the Churches were in no wise disposed to make a change from the present plan of each one making its own creed. This is one of the privileges" öl being a ConcrecationalisL and the Churches do not care to be bound down to any creed not auoptea oy tnemseives. lliey are opposed to a Calvinistic creed, and fear that a committee will get too much Calvinism into their doctrine. With this disposit on the part of the Churches, the committee have let the matter drop. Dr. Charles C. Beatty, of Steubenville.Ohio, bad a peculiar way of disposing of his wealth. At first he prayerfully set apart one-tenth of bis income'for the cause ot Christianity; but when tbe financial revulsion of 1837 wrought widespread distress he resolved that onefourth should g to religion and charity. After this, in view of tbe fact that, as he says in the written pledge found since his recent death, the Lord had blessed him pecuniarily "beyond what be had ever expected or desired," he made a covenant never to allow the principal of his fortune to exceed $70, 000. and that al! above this should be given away. Accordingly, the value of the estate is $m;.000. and the aggregate gifts, amounted to $500,000 Herbert Spencer says, that a man's conversation is a sure index to his mental capacity; we therefore account for the numerous flatteriug commendations made by our most learned men of the merits of Dr. Bull' Cough Syrup. Trying to Say Cockroach. It is said to be difficult to teach a Spaniard to say cockroach. A tutor says that it is one of the hardest words the Spaniards have to learn. To illustrate, he called upon a youiiR Spaniard, who is struggling with the mysteries of the language, to pronounce tbe word. An expression of sadness passed over the olive tinged countenance of the Spaniard as he thought a moment, nd then hesitatingly said, "Crockarocha." "No; cock roach," repeated' the tutor. "t'okarocba," said the Spaniard. "Try now: C o-c-k-r-o-a-c-n. cockroach." "Kokrocha." said the Spaniard. "Say cock." "Croka." "Now roach." . "Kocha." "Now cockroach.' "Cockarocha," "Now tell what it u " "Smalla bugga." tb, no! Old Ben will hardly do for the Democratic Presidential nomination. The Michigan Citv Dispatch sava: ten Butler may do for a cluo to break the back ol the la-publican party In Massachusetts. where no oilier man could !o it. but tbe talk from feeble Democrats about nominating him for the Presidency is sufficient to ruake Andrew Jackson turn in his tomb and every living Lemorrat curse the day that old spoons left the hepublican party. Tewksbary ihht be a pretty pood rampaign cry In tbe old liay State, but there is not cnougn ot u to spread over the entire United States. Mr. C.

TABLE GOSSIP. A coquette is a woman 'thoubt any heart that makes a fool o' a man tnat ain't got any head. There are two sides to a liquor-drinking question, and it's best to keep the liquor on the outside. Gray and dark green and blue and amber are Worth's latest freaks in the combination of colors. A firm faith is the best divinity; a good life the best philosophy; a clear conscience the best law; honesty the best policy, and temperance tbe best physic Charron. It is a grand good thing when a man gives up his course of dissipation and seriously settles down, but it is an equally grand thing when a man has a stroke of conscientiousness and honestly settles up. Teople who have dealings with the new fledged graduate sometimes do come to believe there is truth as well as terseness in the Persian proverb One pound of learning requires ten pounds of common sense 03upply it. We have come across an expression which ought to be perpetuated. An old stage driver wben speaking of those bank defaulters and other rogues who were once members in good standing of some Church, called them "ex-praying men." Jist because the widow's mite, was so highly praised, there are lots of people who pride themselves upon never putting more than a penny into the contribution box. They think that the offering is greater than tbe most liberal gifts of the free givers; and so it is, no doubt, if you are to judge by the effort it takes on tbe part of the giver. It is not strange to the mind of the philosopher of tbe Philadelphia Call, that pretty widows have so many more suitors than equally pretty maidens. Men know that a widow is not looking for a beautiful prince on a milk-white steed, and consequently will not be quite so hard to suit. In matrimony as in other things, time is a great consideration nowadays. Themistocles was an old (Jretk fogy, and it's extremely fortunate that he died outside the city limits of New -Tfork. When two young men sued for his daughter's hand be gave his preference to the poor youth, saying that in his opinion a man without riches is better than riches without a man. Such conservatism has long since been outgrown, and it even seems queer that any person of common sense could have used his reasoning powers to eo little purpose. On a train two gentlemen were discussing the nativity of a third who sat near them. "I'll bet he's a Southern man." "No, he looks more like a Westerner." "We can tell by asking him a question, can't we?" "All right, for the cigars, now he's a Westerner, and I'll at k him tbe question." So be went across the car and politely said : "I beg your pardon, sir, but what time is it?" "Well sah," be replied. looking at his watch, "it is fo' minutes befo' fo" That settled it. Few of our readers, while engaged in strengthening their nerves with a cup of tea, imagine they are swallowing pulverized charcoal, bone-black, clay, terra alba, pulverized soap stone, talc Prussian blue, gravel, and other undesirable commodities, buch is the stuff scientific experts employed by tbe New York Board of Health have found in the green teas sold in that city. The best grades of black teas are pronounced the safest, and the verdict is rendered that "none of the creen teas are pure." - - ' v a - The man who acts" ör in-esses eddl v for the i sake oi oddity must feel himself deficient in any quality that will arrest public notice or challenge criticism. But the eccentricities of the man who forgets tbe keen scrutiny of the throng from absorption in the duties of life deserve respect and not not ridicule. The oddity in the multitude is often its choicest character. As in dress or manners, so is it in mind, Remember what Emerson says: "It is easy in the -world to live after the world's Opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own ; but tbe great man is he who, in the midsl of the crowd, keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude." It is easy to reconcile one to the belief that he has discharged an unfulfilled task, no matter bow well aware be is of bis remissness. The world is ever willing to creep through any pretext that enables it to escape a responsibility. Duncan Gonn, a Highland idiot, has a great many imitators. Once he was sent with a fine hare as a present to a minister, but having carelessly laid it down by tbe road a shepherd's dog made off with it. Duncan, failing to rind it, went on his way and presented the letter he carried to tbe minister without making any reference to the lost bare. The minister read the note and remarked. "Oh, Duncan, I see there's a hare here." "Gosh, then, that's a' rieht," said Duncan, "I tocbt I had lost it, but if it's there it's a rieht. I'll just say that ye got the hare a' safe and ye' re muckle obleeged for iu" A Washington correspondent speaking of Ben. Butterworth, says: "I remember coming with him one stormy night down F street, wben we were met by a little bare headed match girl. The rain was pouring down, and as she turned her streaming face under our umbrella, lighted up rathej weirdly by the bright windows of the cigar stand next to the Baltimore Sun ofbee, ber eyes were red and swollen. "Please buy some matches," she said, half crying. "I am so cold, and 1 am so hungry. They are only two cents. Please buy! Please buy!" Butterworth reached for a box of matches, and handed her some silver, enough to iav for many matches, and we hurried on. For a moment he (said noth ing, but went on with his big head banging down. Finally he began in a half soliloquy, "My God! My God! How some people live; Suppose my little daughter should be out on luch a work on such a night. Think of that child in the wet and cold, and think of her home as it probably is. And still they call this a Christian country! Bab!" A ghost always gets us at a disadvantage. He cornea unexpectedly and disappears very suddenly. Tbe other night some gentlemen who bad been indulging in convivial picas urea pleasures which partook of a bibulous character lay down to sleep. Just as the clock struck one of the wee sina hours a cry was heard. "A ghost!" Kvery man's hair stood on end ot course, for right in front of them was their dead friend Kein hard t. clothed in flames apiarcntly, as though he bad come up instead of down. They all recognized him, but they were bo frightened that they did not approach tbe apparition, and in a minute more it vanished. Ot course it was not a trick or a practical joke, and. therefore, it must have been a real ami gen uine ghost. There is one aspect of the event which ought not to be lost sight of. Rein hardt was also of bibulous propensities alive. and when he returned to his former ha.inti the smell of lire was very strong about him Tliat's the rub. It's that smell ot tire that gives us pause and makes us prefer to hear

the we have than fly to others that we kiiow rot of. but of which we nave a pretty

strong, suspicion, if that poor rhost was all ablaze wben he came back to see his friends once more. UCBIOTJS, CdEfVL NO HOICNTIF1C. An ingenious apparatus called a "firedamp indicator" bas been invented in Geneva. Kvery hour or half hour the air of the mine is forced into the burner by a bellows, and tbe result is registered iu the central office. Mr. G. K. Gilbert, in a recent publication of tbe United States Geolgical Survey, declares that tbe Wahsatch range, the greatest mountain mats in Utah, has recently increated in height, and the presumption is that it is still growing higher. Electrical omnibusesreceutly traveled from Tarls to Versailles, about fourteen miles. There was no serious hitch on the trials. Only one time there was a stoppage owing to tbe heating of a coil by excess of current, but the delay did not take up much time. In Swedan the enormous accumulation of bleached and blanched mosses is being utalized in making paper. A large manufactory bas been begun, and all kinds are being turned out from tissue paper to sheets three inches in thickness. The latter is harder than wood. A writer in the Journal of Science, in an article on "Cram and its Amenities," claims that brain work is not per se physically ini'urious, but that, v!ieu within reasonable ounds, it is distinctly favorable to long life; and be enforces his argument with some happy illustrations. Germany has 500 mills for the manufacture of wood-pulp. Such a degree of perfection has been attained in tbe treatment that even for the better qualities of paper tbe woodpulp is substantiated for pulp made from rags. It constitutes 75 per cent of the paper stock used throughout Germany. The difficulty ot aealmg effectively with leprosy in India is that it is hereditary, and it was not until late years that a rational system of treatment was adopted with the lower order of natives. Now the isolation which had been practiced with this terrible disease since the days of Moses and proper hospital care may .in a generation abate the evil. A work containing Tetrarch's sougs, printed in Venice about the end of the fifteenth century, and of which a single copy does sot exist in this country, was sold in London not long ago for not less than $9,750, the highest price paid for a single volume within the last decade. Of course, it was the scarcity of the book and not its intrinsic merit which gave it its value. Carrier pigeons are sometimes attacked and destroyed by birds of prey. Lately it was resolved to try how well rave us would fcrform the same functions as the pigeons, he test was made at Coblenz with young birds. The point of arrival was asmall place on the Moselle, near Travcs, distant from Coblenz about forty miles. The sable mesEengers did their work admirably. Tbe deepest sea-sounding ever made, says the Scientific American, was made in the Pacific Ocean near the entrance to Behring's Fea. Bottom was struck at 4.G55 fathoms. Tbe cast was made from the United States school ship Tuscarora. The shallowest water in the middle of tbe Atlantic, 731 fathoms, shows the subsidence of mountains 10,550 feet. Tbe electric railroad from Tortrush to the Giant's Causeway, Ireland, seems to have been opened very auspiciously. The power to work the dynamo-electric machines costs little besides tear and wearof the machinery, a water-fall with a head of 24 feet in the River Bush setting in motion turbines which gave an effective energy of about DO-horse power. The line is only about six miles long and has but a three-feet gauge. An underground cable conveys the electricity to the ends of tbe rails. What defects exist on the road are two sharp curves and two steep grades. One foot in 3-" will tell eventually on the rails and the rolling stock. A scientific commission fs to pass on the question whether the manufacture of gas in I'aris can not supply their illuminaut cheaper. The report can not fail to be of wide interest the world over. The probability is that it will be against the company and in favor of the citizens, from what every chemist knows of the commercial value of tbe incidental products of the industry. From the 1 'regress making in the manufacture of appliances for producing, distributing, and using electricity gas as a source of light appears to be doomed. But the production of gas will go on, nevertheless, and on a grander scale. If electricity is to give humanity light in the future, gas will take the place of coal ;n heating homes and for cooking pur poses. OLD TIME BACIKG. How tbe Jockeys Were Ulaed Onto Their Horses Instead of Using: Saddles The Great Gray Eagle-Wagner Race la 1889. (Louisville Commercial.) "I guess 1 am about the oldest turfman in America," said Henry Farns to a Commercial reporter recently. The speaker was an old man of seventy-four years, with a frank, open face, and pleasant address. "l attended tue erst race tnat was run on a regular course iu Kentucky. It took place in the fall of the year 1817, on a track near Crab Orchard, Ky . which afterward beeame famous as the Spring mil course, i was a mere lad then, and attended with my father. There were several entries, but tbe race was clearly between the horse uained Yellow Jacket and a big bav mare. People had clus tered from all parts of tee state to witness the event. There was but little betting, the novelty of the contest being the attraction. From tbat day to tnis i nave always maue it a point to be present and witness tbe races. I liave oeen on every course in America, owned some of tbe fastest horses of the day, acd the strangest thing of all is. that I never gambled a cent on a horse race." "1 remember how the jockeys used to ride in tbe olden days. They had no saddles, and each man who mounted a horse was required to wear home-made linen pants A vial of honey was poured on the back of the borse, and the honey coming in contact with the raw linen, formed an adhesion sufficiently strong to keep the rider in his position and enable him to ride with safety." "1 trained the borse which won the stakes in the first exciting race in Kentucky. I sueak of the famous horse Josh Bell, who ran three heats in 1:50 over the course in Lexington. This was in 1837. I alterwards sold Josh Bell for $4,000, a fabulous price for a race horse in tboso days. 1 also trained Jim Bell, full brother to Josh Bell He was the first horse that ever cleared a mile in 1:46 in America. In the fall of 183.S be beat the celebrated Sarah Bladen.after an exciting race at New Orleans, for a purse of $5,010. Tbat day 1 sold him to D. II. Kin ner for 15.000. Jim Bell subseqaently be came tbe greatest three-year-old racer of his dav. "I also trained and owned Denmark. He ran TrfX) miles in public races, tbe majority of which he won. In 1838 he came in winner of a sixteen-mile race over the old Oakland track at Louisville. "Forty-four years ago I saw the Gray Eagle and Wagner race, undoubtedly tne most ex citing contest ever run in the world. . Every state in the Union vias represented. There were no railroads or other transportation ae commodatious in those days, but people Hocked from everywhere, ana the attendance on that day easily numbered 13.000. Ken tuckv was represented by the great Gray Eagle and Virginia by Wagner. From tbe first it was evident that Gray Eagle or Wag ner would win the race. They took the lead, and as they rounded into the quarter stretch Gray Eagle led the way by an open length. Both iockevs rlicd the whin vigorously Wanner gradually closed the gap aud landed at the stand half a length ahead of the great Kentucky steed. The stakes were $30,000, and. in addition to this. Camrfbell, the own er of Wagner, told me that he bad won more than $18.100 on side bets. In thoic days pool selling or a regulated system of betting was unknown. "The man who wished to gamble generally

proclaimed from a box. An agent always accompanied the capitalist to make a report of tbe bets bis employer made. An instance wbich tended to increase tbe excitement of the day was the death of a man named Peck. He was a Ker tuckian, and had bet every cent be r assessed, amounting, 1 believe, to $15,000, cn Gray Eagle. He stationed himself ne&r the spot which marked the finish, and when be saw that be had lost be dropped dead on ,the spot. I have witnessed every event of importance in the way of racing since that memorable day, and have never seen, nor do I expect to see, a contest so exciting or full of general interest. A barrel of money changed hands on the result. Although 1 am past seventy-four years of age, I am still training bones. My headquarters are at Spring Hill course, near Crab Orchard, and I expect to turn out many a winner before I die." This is the kind of a man tbat the Massachusetts Bepublicans are running for Governor. The description appeared first in the Boston Herald, a paper that is supporting him (Robinson) in the fight against Butler: "Well, the first I ever knew of Mr. Robinson around here, be appeared as a collector or trustee lawyer, and be did more of tbat kind of business than any other lawyer in Hampden County. In settling be always took tbe last cnt, no matter bow poor or unfortunate the employer inisht be; always looked out for bis own costs first, and, if there was anything left, his clients got it.
