TRAGIC EPISODE OF BRUSH.

THE SAGE

Ban Francisco Argonaut.

Battle Mountain, nearly the centre of the desert state of Nevada, is not a particularly attractive village. A railroad office and a freight depot, a row of business booses ana saloons, and a cluster of unpretentious dwellings comprise its extent. At the time of which I write, soma five years ago, it was a lively burg and a rough one. A small army of teamsters and miners, and a coterie of three card monte m^n, who made it their headquarters, kept the otherwise peaceful village in a ferment of wild excite meDt. The course of these reckless denizens was marked with periodii shooting scrapes, frequent fistic encounters and continuous drunken bouts.

Half dozing one day in a saloon, I was aroused by the remark moat emphatically delivered: "It's fourteen inches between toy eyes •d I smell like a wolf!" and

The speaker, a large, magnificently proportioned ruffian, supplemented the peculiar description of himself with: every

"Pards, come and drink." With the exception of myself. man in the room gatberea around the bar, addressing the powerful stander of treats as Joe. The glasses were filled and tipped when be turned and noticed me. I saw the quick, wicked Hash of anger in his eyes. After a momentar survey be broke the silence, and th! terse dialogue followed:

from the city, ain't yer?"

"I am." Yer don't know me, do yer?" "I don't." "Take a drink then and git acquainted." "Don't drink." 4 4 "Smoke, then." *'Don't smoke." "Do yer shoot?" "Not worth a continental."

My years of assurance acquired as correspondent, and my knowledge ol aggressive characters, did not prevent me from feeling some uneasiness as I observed my interrogator's dexterous fingers slide to his belt and grasp the bill of his "whistler."

An unpleasant termination of the con venation was avoided by the strange appearance of a woman, who stepped from the overland train, just then arrived, and directed her steps toward the saloon. She was rather a comely looking female, of thirty-eight or more, and evidently ill and suffering from the effects of an extended debauch. Joe stared at ber for a moment, as one looks at the arisen dead, then walked quietly to the door, threw himself into the saddle and rode away.

As he passed the woman, she lifted up ber hands imploringly towards him, and fell to the earth unconscious. She was borne to the hotel, and the kind women cf the village did what they could for her. She spoke no word when she recovered from her swoon, but lay quietly, unmindful of her life fast ebbing away.

During the day I inquired of Brokennosed Charley, who knew everybody and everything about the village, regarding the man Joe. Charley said that little was known of him, except that he mined some, gambled some, drank like mad, and altogether was a bad lot. lie bad killed two or three men, and had been shot and cut himself several times. He invariably preceded an invitation to Imbibe, or the shooting of a man, by the expression: "It's fourteen inches between my eyes and 1 smell like a wolf."

From t,bis idiosyncrasy and bis blood thirsty disposition, he was known and dreaded as "The Wolf." Prudent peo-

Soe.however,

The wolf returned to town the next day, and entering the saloon from which Jbe bad made his hurried exit quietly aaked: "Has that ar womau gone?"

He was told that she was sick, land could live but a very abort time. A

The poor, white face, scarred and deep* seamen by excesses and sin, grew radiant with gladness as Joe kneeled down aud kissed her. With a seal of forgiveness, with the pressure of his lips but the sank back dea half returned, si

Through the service at the simple burial tbe following day, Joe stood with uncovered head, bat nls bronzed and Immovable features betrayed uo emotion, nor vouchsafed any clew to the mystery that enshrouded the coffined outcast and himself.

The evening of tbe fuueral the Wolf called on me at my rooms. Seating himself, without preface he said: "As a man of sense an' no coward,

to die at his feet, freed from tbe burden of his curse. Strangely enough, another letter gave Information of Bill Arm strong, and stated that lie was livin near Boise City, in Idaho. These two read to the desperate man who sat before me, his burning eyes gleaming with pain and his lips mute with anguish. When I ceased, be grasped my hand with, "Thank yer, stranger," and left tbe room- I watched him mount his horae and ride out into tbe black night. The Wolf was again on tne trail.

Hie circumstances I have related were vividly recalled to my mind during my present visit to Battle mountain by casually overhearing an account of a fatal shooting affair between Bill Armstrong, a mining speculator, and Jo4 the Wolf, at Boise City, in 1878. Tbe detail* of the rencounter I give in tbe words of the narrator, who was an eye witness: "Joe met Armstrong on tbe street and with tbe single exclamitios, 'I'm Aggie's husband!' pulled and fired. From some unaccountable reason he missed. Armstrong returned the fire, shooting Joe plump through the heart. He fell on one knee and fox a second swqyed like a reed before the itoroa. in his physical strength. In the ffowftof his hate, he recovered himself. As from his ashen lips rang the old cry, 'It's fourteen incnes between my eyes and I smell like a wolf!' be fired killing Arm* strong instantly, abd Mil upon bis face

Thoughtfully, to-day, I sought the pauper's field, and stood before the rude jne headboard which bore tbe name of er whose weakness bad destroyed three lives. It was almost hidden by clumps of sage brush, which, unsigntly and pallid green, were fitting growths of unhallowed ground.

The old story of shame and sorrow, common in all the epochs of tbe world as the grains of sand that drifted over ber lonely, uncared for grave. Yet rarely is this recompense for sin so terribly meted out as in tbe tragic end and wayward, bitter lives of Joe and Aggie Garland.

WIDOWERS AND WIDOWS^ If our widowed friend shall mari widow, be will avoid tbe risk of flashing any romantic female Ideas 61 the bigh and noble character of man. Sue knows what man is, and the knowledge has driven from ber mind all this nonsense. She has found that man is a creature ot a narrow niud, of no high pursuits, of few ideas, of a generally dull composition, of small passions, ana largely governed by his own bodily wants that if be is made comfortable by supporting bis physical appetites, lie Is amiable Ima the anaconda ajjtto {jyffull meal. She looks for no hero, ana is iu no danger of being soured by that disappointment. Therefore he need not fear that when the halo of, the honeymoon has dissipated, tip will find & ber a far-away expression qf face apd a listless manner, as if ^xpflictariey- had failed. She knew tbe situation when she accepted it. He will find that she knows all tbe little habits and wants which go so far to make up manknows now to gratify them, and eke how to regulate them. And he will continually 1 stimulated to emulate tbe virtues of her sainted husband, which she will hold over his head. That these had no more real existence than Sarah Gamp's Mrs. Harris does not mitigate their moral influence. Some have been known to be so restive under this as to say that they would never do it again unless tbe previous one bad been banged. But there is no assurance that even this would avail. And besides, the banging of her husbands might be ibing. Some moralists have argi that although tbe husband may

catching. Some moralists have argued ave been taken off in a natural way, yet it is best not to encourage this by marrying a widow but man's nature is to dare.

RESPECT FOR PARENTS. If children could realize but a small portion of the anxiety their parents feel on their account, they would pay better respect to their parental wishes. A good child, and one in whom confidence can be placed, Is tbe one who does not allow himself to disobey his parents, cor do anything when his parents are absent, that he has reason to believe they would disapprove were they present. The „aod advice of parents is often so engraven on the heart of tbe child, that after years of care and toil do uot efface it and in the hour of temptation the thought of a parent has been tbe salvation of a child, though tbe parent may be sleeping in the grave, and tbe ocean may roil between that saered spot and the tempted child. A small token of parental affection, borne about tbe person, especially a parent's likeness, would frequently prove a talisman for good. A Polish prince was accustomed to carry tbe picture of his father always in his bosom, and on any particular occasion be would look upon it and say, "Let me do nothing unbecoming so excellent a father." Such repeet for father or mother is one of the best traits in the character of a son or daughter. "Honor thy father or thy mother, that it may be well thee, is the first commandment with promise," ays the sacred book, and happy is the bild that acts accordingly.

SOCIALIST UP TO A CERTAIN POINT I was traveling through the Departmerit of the South after the Revolution of February. I met one day a mayor of a village, proprietor of a mekurie. "Sir," said be to me, "what do they mean down there at Paris by that word 'Communism'? It is some sluggard's business is it not? So, at least, our curate says." "It is a system ot partition," re-

Sreamer."

that she had gone wron fine haired chap who had cotue town while I war away. I war a likely young feller then, but tbe blow turned me into a devil. I went for him, but he heard of it an' slid out fur Callforuy. I follered him, an' fur twenty years I've bin bunting him all over this coast. A voice of hell has urged me on, an' I've killed men that the taste of blood might keep fierce my hope of revenge. I vis never found blm. During theae years I've heard about her once in a while, an' how she war drinking and going to the dogs. I'd alius meant to see her when I'd settled with htm. His name war Bill Armstrong." ttThe letters talren from tbe dead worn* an, which I had been looking over, were mostly answers to inquiries regarding the whereabouts of her husband. An unfinished letter of her own to some friend in the east, and dated a few days previous to her death, showed that to this poor lost creature, with the gram of death upon her, there had oome oack to her the glory of her fim and only pure love, and the unconquerable desire

TALK AT MOMS.

Endeavor always to talk your best before your children. They hunger perpetually for new ideas. They will learn with pleasure from the lips of parents what they deem it drudgery to learn from hooka and, even if they have tbe misfortune to be deprived of msny educational advantages, they will grow np intelligent if they enjoy in childhood tbe privilege of listening dsily to tbe conversation of intelligent people. We sometimes see parents who are the life of every oompany whiob tbey enter, dull, silent, and uninteresting among their children. If they have not menta activity and mental stores sufficient for both, let them first use whst they have for their own household. A silent home is a dull place for young people, a place ta they will escape if they can. useful information, on the other hand, is often given in pleasant family conversation and what unconscious, but exoeilent mental training in lively social argument! Cultivate to the utmost tbe graoes of conversation. in ort.
