And it was just as singular that they didn't say "Joe,''' instead of "Joseph" when speaking of or to the man, The two had a wagon in the band, drag' ging itself towards the Black Hills, day by day and milo by mile. They messed by them selves, scarcely spoke except to each other, and their lives anil their actions wero n sort of mystery to tlio rest, who were a jolly set drinking, carousing, fishing, playing cards, and wishing for a brush with tho Indians, Some said that Joseph was a fugitive from justice, and that b: wouldn t fraternize with them for fear of betraying himself when in terrogated. Others thought he felt too proud to mix with such society, and between the two theories ho had nearly all the men think ing of him before tho wagon tiain was four day's travel from Cheyenne. "He keeps his brother hidden away in the wagon ns if a little Bunshlno would kill the boy," growled ono of a dozen gold hunters sitting around tlieir camp fire in the twi light.

As the crowd came near the boy sprang up and climbed into the covered wagon, and Joseph Blowly rose up and looked at them anxiously and inquiring' "See hero, Mister Joseph what s your oth er name ?" began tho Texan, as he halted before tho lone inau, "we have come to the conclusion that you and that booby brother of yours don't like our style 1 Aro we kerect I" "I havo nothing against any of you," vuietly replied Joseph.

Tliero was a full mlnuto In which no ono moved. Joseph's face looked ghastly whlto In tho gloom, and they could sco hlin trem ble. "lie's a coward, just as I thought," said the Texan, as ho moved away. The others followed him, some feeling ashamed and oth ers surprised nnd gratified, and by and by tho wortl had reached every wagon that Joseph and Joseph's brother wero cow ards. Next morning when tho wagon train was ready to move, tho Captain passed near Jo seph's wagon on purpose to say : "If there is any cownrds In this train, they needn't travel with us any further." It was a cruel thrust. Joseph was harness ing his horses, and tho brother was stowing away the cooking utensils. The strange man's face grew white again, and his hand went down for a revolver, but just then a voice called out "Don't mind it. Joseph: we'll go on alone. i ue train moved on without tncin, some of the goltl hunters taunting and iokine and others fearful that the two would be butch ered by tho Indians before tho day was over. When tho white-topped wagons wero so far away that they seemed no larger than his hand, Joseph moved along on tho trail, his face stern and dark, nnd so busy with his thoughts that he did not hear the consoling words : "Never mind, Joseph j wo aro trying to do right." That night, when the wagon train of tho gold hunters went into camp, they could not see the lono vagon,thotigh many of the men, ashamed of tlieir conduct, looked long and earnestly for it. They had seen Indians fur off, and they knew that tho rod devils would pounce down upon a single team as soon as they sighted it.. Darkness came, midnight came, and the sentinels heard nothing hut tho stamping of the horses and the howls of the coyotes. At two o'clock tho reports of rifles and the fierce yells of Indians floated up through the valley and the camp was aroused in a mo ment. "The devils have jumped in on Joseph and his brother !" whispered one of the men as ho stood on a knoll and bent his head to listen. Good 'nuff 1 Cowards havo no business out hero 1" growled tho Texan, The first speaker wheeled, struck the ruf fian a sledge-hammer blow in the face, and then, rushing for tho horses, cried out Come on 1 come on ! a dozen of us can be spared for the rescue Sixteen men swept down the valley like tho wind. The firing and yelling continued proving that the man who had been called a coward was making a heroic fight. In ten minutes they camo upon the lono camp. made light as day by tho buruiug wagon, Fifty feet from the bonfire, and hemmed in by a circle of dancing, leaping, howling say ages, was Joseph's brother, standing over Joseph s dead body. Thegold hunters heatd tho pop 1 pop! pop! of tho boy's revolver as they burst into view, and tho next moment they were charging down upon tho demons, using riflo and revolver with terrible efl'ect. In two minutes not a livo Indian was in sight. Joseph's brother stood over tho body, and empty revolver in his band. The men cheered wildly as they looked around, but tho boy looked up into their faces without signs of exultation, surprise, or gladness. Thero wero three dead Indians beside the wagon, killed where the fight commenced, and the corpses in front of Joseph's brother numbered more than tho victims of the six teen men. ''Is Joseph badly hurt?" asked one of the men, as lie halted his tiorso beside the boy. "He is dead 1" whispered tho whitefaced defender. He isl May I be forgiven for the part I took last night?" You called him a coward 1" cried Jo seph's brother, "and you are to blame for this 1 Was he a coward ? Look there ! and there ! and there ! We drove them back from the wagon drove them clear out herel Joseph is dead. You aro his murderers 1 Every man was near enough to hear his voice and note his action as lie picked up tho riflo of an Indian and sent a bullet through hia own head. With exclamations of grief and alarm trembling on their lips, the men sprang from their Baddies. The boy waa dead dead as Joseph and both corpses wero bleeding from a dozen wounds. "We'll carry 'em up to tho train, and have a burial in the morning," said one of the men, and the bodies wero taken up be hind two of the horsemen. They did have a burial, and men looked into the grave with tears in their eyes, for they had discovered that Joseph s brother was a womau, yes, a woman, with whitest throat and softest hands. It might havo been Joseph's wife, or sister,or sweetheart. No one could tell that j but they could tell how they had wronged him, and tbey said, as they stood around tho grave Wo hope tho Lord won't lay It up agin us!" A. Y.Sun A gentleman has just died in Paris who owed most of his celebrity to tho quaint manner in which he managed to disembar rass himself of his creditors. No sooner did a dun present himself thau ho was ushered into a room hung round with a variety of mirrors, some-convex, others concave, Ac. In one the unfortunate creditor beheld him' self with a head as flat as a flounder, in an other his features were nearly aa sharp as a knife, in a third ho had several heads, and n a fourth he was upside down. Here ho had tho broad grin of a clown, there the long-drawn visago of an undertaker.

If you will look at the map of Florida. away down tho eastern coast of tho finger- like peninsula, you may sco n spot marked "Jupiter" or "Jupiter Inlet." Some maps mako il "Juniper." This is wrong, Its namesake was old Jupiter, the slavo of an army officer, who was stationed at this point during tho first Scminolo war. Jupi ter is between latitude 20 and 27. Al though only 120 miles north of Key West, it bulges to the cast nearly a degree of Ion- gitudo beyond Cape Canaveral. It Is proba bly tho most inaccesslblo and barren nook on tho whole Floridlan coast, and can bo reached only in light-draught boats, sailing the whole length of tho Indian rivtr. Sharp coral reefs fringo itsshoro.and high hillocks of white sand sprinkled with thick clumps of scrub and cactus, rear their heads above the inlet. The lively sand-crab catches fireflies on tho beach, and huge turtles de posit their eggs in tho sand. This attracts scores of bears from tho swamps and ham mocks bordering tho everglades; for to them tho turtle and its eggs are a toothsome delicacy. Spotted tiger-cats play amng tho sand-hills by moonlight, and the fierce puma prowls along the shore in quest of king crabs or more substantial diet. The largest puma ever seen in the State was shot in this region by the keeper of tho light house. It was ns formidable as a roval Ben- gal tiger, and measured over thirteen feet from snout to tip. Tho shallow salt water swarms with fish, Schools of mullet and pompino flash in the sunlight, and cavallo, lionefish, bluefish, red bass, drum, snappers nnd groupers aro hero in myriads. Jcwfish have been caught weighing over COO pounds. Sawfish the size of young whales surge through the narrow cnanneis, ana ravenous sharks trom 12 to lil) feet in length keep a rigid blockade outside As tho title rises they come within the inlet in search of prey. The bass and other fish that have been feeding upon the mullet be- como in turn the victims of the shark. The smaller fish dart to and fro, making the water boil in their efforts tn escape. Mil- lions aro slowly but surely driven into a small bay by the sharks, who whip tho waves into foam in theirhungry fury. Pen ned at last, the doomed fish leap into tho air with terror, and shoals of them run ashore, Tho sharks charge with a rush. Tlieir jaws snap like pistol shots, and mutilated fish aro scattered over the water. Schools of porpoises join in the slaughter, and oc casionally an old alligator shoves oft" from the shore, sinks himself like a submarine battery, and steals a bounteous meal. Nor is an alligator the only free-feeder. Tho air is filled with thousands of lilac- feathered terns and gulls. Full well do they understand tho situation. The rush of their wings is liko a breeze in the forest of pines, and their screams are deafening. By pla toons they dash into the agitated water, and soar off above the roaring surf, each with a fish in its bill. The very air sparkles with fish, for the gulls toss their victims up until they catch them by the head. Then they aro easily bolted. High abovo the tern float flocks nf grey pelicans, larger than geese, and grnvo and formal as judges. The wind whistles beneath I heir great wings, but they make no audible expression of satisfac tlon. Dropping into the waves with a great splash, after a few lubberly manoeuvres they fill their pouches, and sail away as though the whole affair was arranged for their own exclusive benefit. A party of stalwart herons pace the strand In their Austrian uniforms and pick up tho tiny silver fish slopping ashore during tho general commotion. And last and least, nur little Northern kingfisher, clad in a sky-blue suit, springs hia little rat- tie and hangs on the outskirts of tho battle, picking up the choicest tid-bits. Such is an everv day scene at Jupiter during the uumer and fall. The inlet is very shallow. Its bed is de-1 tached coral rocks, covered with sea.green moss. This moss hides that peculiar shell known as "bleeding teeth." At low tide the water rushes over these rocks, forming rapids like those on some Canadian streams. Banks f sand appear at tho foot ot the raplda, and aro washed by tho breakers of the Atlantic. Tbo tide sets in with wonderful force. The current la very strong, and the banks and flats inside are quickly flooded. Immense eddies are formed, and, strange as it may seem, these eddies offer some of the finest fly-fishing in the world. The bone or lady sh, bluefish, snapper, and cavallo take a fly with the voracity of a brook trout. Gam- cy as is the bluefish the ladyfish is his supe- rior. The latter is very long and slender, covered with small silvery scales. It has a broad head, a large and expressive eye, fine sharp teeth, and a mouth like that of a trout, It reaches ten pounds in weight. Tho lady fish snaps tho Uy In the air and darts away When struck it is a marvel of nerve and elasticity. Swerving in a circle, it repeated ly leaps from tho water and dashes away, Alter a hard fight It either jumps ashore or givea up gracefully, and Is easily netted, Tho cavallo, a strong, active fish, la frequent ly taken at fifteen pounds weight. It lacks the dash of tho ladyfish, but is much harder to kill, While fishiug these eddies a salmon rod aud reel ia 'preferable Tbo common trout rod ia altogether too light. Only two New Yorkers, it ia believed, have cast a fly at Jupiter, namely, a brother of ex-Alderman Mnnl,otmr nmt II,. If, Tl,nn,.. T.nl-ln.

About fif teen years ago a storm closed the gap, Ilil lions of salt water fish were dammed in, Tdeu a long rainy season followed. The Jupiter, North, Allekohatchie, and Lake Worth rivcra, which empty into the Indian river within a mile of the Inlet, poured out volumes of fresh water, but the ocean had douo its work well, nnd tbo dam remained intact.

They came down tho Allokchatchto nnd Lako Worth creek In scores, and attacked the fish dam med in the bight. Tho slaughter was aston ishing. The water turned to blood and was car- peted with dead fish. The alligators were reinforced until their number was estimated at five hundred. They gorged themselves with fish, and dozed away their days on the hot sand beneath tho scorching rays of the sun. The beach was black with their mailed bodies. At night their muttered thunder fairly shook the foundations of tho light house. Ono day a north wind arose. It gathered in strength day by day until its fury was that of a gale. It began to back up the waters in tho 'inlet.. Rain fell, and the water in- creased in depth. The wind shifted to the northwest. A high neap tide followed. As It began to fall, a thread of fresh water found its way over tho 'Sandy barrier. With in twenty minutes tho dam was burst, and tho pent-up waters were roaring and rushing to tho sea. Tho army of alligators was caught In tho flood and carried outside. A terrific fight ensued. Tho neap tide had brought hundreds of enormous sharks to tho coat. They scented tho fresh water and made for the inlet. Frantic after their en forced fasting during the storm, they attack ed the alligators. Tho noise of tho combat was heard above the roar of tho ocean. A son of Judge Paine, of Fort Capron, who was an eye-witness of the scene, tella mo that ho saw sharks and alligators rise on the crest of the waves nnd fight like dsgs. Many of tho killed floated belly upward, and were afterward rocked ashore by tho waves. For days their bodies drifted to the beach. Tho dead alligators had lost their legs and tails. The sh arts In some cases were nearly bitten into two pieces. The current of the Gulf Stream strewed tho shore as far north as Cape Malabar with their car cases. Clouds of buzzards, and oven tho Ba hama vultures were drawn to the beach by the off.il, Mr. Paino fancies that the sharks were too active for the alligators, but others say that the percentage of bodies on the beach indicated that tho weight of metal was in favor ot tho iron clad reptiles. A. .S'kii. Stago Costumes. HOW CLARA MOr.KIS WAS AnrtAYKn AS "CA' iltLLi:" IN A BOSTON TIIEATRll. Clara Morris appeared as Camille, in Bos ton, recently. In tho first act she appeared in a dress of heavy creamy silk with a long train, the basquo of the same being cut low in tho neck and with short sleeves. The most striking featuro of this costume was tho overskirt, which was formed of a very cle gant China crepe shawl of creamy white, to match the silk beneath, and very heavily embroidered : it opened up the left side, but the entire space was filled in by over lapping rows of the deep Bilken fringe which had been cut from the shawl's edges, limbroi dered white silken hose and white satin slippers completed the toilet. In her blonde wig and at her throat wero singlewhite cam elias, and she carried a magnificent bouquet of tho same. Her jewelry comprised a pearl necklace, tho Btringa of which were confined with turquoise clasps, brilliant earrings aud broad gold bracelets. In tho second act her dress was equally elegant, being of heaviest black satin, with long fan train, and the over-dress was of rich black Spanish lac, thrrugh tho meshes of which the satin gleamed with wonderful effectiveness. Upon a black velvet ribbon at her throat waa a jet locket, set with diamonds. Solitaires of the same brilliant stones wero in her ears, and her feet wero encased m scarlet hoso and sandal shoes, each strap caught by steel buckles The third costume, worn in tho beautiful country scene, was of simple whlto dotted muslin, with blue ribbons at throat, waist, sleeves and slippers, and at tho throat was also a cluster of dark-hued pan- sies. I he ball dress in the lourth act was most brilliantly beautiful of all. It was of apple green satin of a lovely shade, cut prin' cess, around tho bottom being a deep flounce cut in blocks at the edgo with a pleating of white crepe lisse peeping beneath. Tho overdress was a low necked polonaise of magnificent white point lace, very long be. hind and draped with long garnitures of wa ter lilllea in all stages of bloom, from tbo tluiest bud to the full blossom, relieved by rich-hued pads. A garland of the blossoms outlined the neck of the dress, and a cluster was in the long tresses of golden hair. Her jewelry was very valuable, consisting of a locket of diamonds surrounding a monster emerald ; diamond ear rings, and a glitter ing band of diamonds worn as a shoulder bracelet thero being no sleeves in the dress and a butierflyof diamonda and emo- ralda quivering in her hair. In the final act Miss Morris wore a wrapper of fine cam- brie simply trimmed with tucks and bands of embroidery. Geii. Jneksou Made Hint Pay.

Mr. Oscan- yan, In his book The Sultan and hit People, tells tho following anccdoto ot a Turkish physician, whoso prescriptions and method of treatment will Interest practitioners In New York : A. person exceedingly ill of typhus fever called in ono of theso medical gentlemen, who, although he considered the case quite hopeless, prescribed for his patient, and took hia leave. The next day, In passing by, ho inquired of a servant at tho door If his muster was not dead. "Dead 1 No; ho is much better." Whereupon the doctor proceeded up stalra to obtain the solution of this miracle. "Why," said tho convalescent "I was consumed with thirst, and I drauk a pailful of tho juice of pickled cabbage." "Wonderfull" quoth tho doctor. And out camo the tablets, on which tho physician made this inscription, "Cured of typhus fever, Mehemed Aghaan, upholsterer, by drinkiug a pailful of pickled cabbago juice," Soon after, tho doctor was called to an other patient, a yaghllkgce, or dealer In em broidered handkerchiefs, suffering from tho same malady. He forthwith prescribed "a pailful of pickled cabbage juice." On calling the next day to congratulate his patient on his recovery, ho was aston ished to bo told tho man was dead. Tho Oriental JKsculaplus, in his bewilderment at these phenomena, came to the Bato con clusion, and duly noted it in his memoran da, that "although incases of typhus fover pickled cabbage juke is an efficient remedy, it la not, however, to bo used unlets the pa tient be by profession an vpltolstercr." En rroii's Drawer, in Harncrs's Mayazinc for June. Somo twelve or fiteen years ago a queer character, nicknamed "Jersey Bill," lived at Otisville, N. Y. During the races at Goshen or Middletown ho used to visit tho coursea for tiio purpose of peddliug whips, which were made of reeds, and which ho sold for five or six cents apiece. When Bill had ac- cumlated a little money he abandoned hia itinerant pursuits, settled down at Hamp ton, and became proprietor of the tavern there. He had many acquaintances among tho farmers in Sussex county, N. J., and when business was slack he would take a run across the line to visit them. Oil ono of these occasions Bill chanced to seee a mare which ho admired greatly, ?nd which, after some dickering, ho purchased for $150 and brought her back with .him to Hampton. She stood about fifteen hands high, was a sprightly, neat-limbed creature,and attracted considerable attention from tho connoisseurs iu horseflesh who frequented Bill's tavern. Not long after ho received an offer of $750 and finally accepted it. The maro waa taken in charge by her new owner, removed to Newburgh, placed in the care of a careful trainer, and In due time regularly introduced upon the trotting turf. Her history from that time forward was marked by a series of triumphs. Last week she made the fast est time on record (2:14) ever known on the trotting course in the State of California, The gentleman who purchased her from Jersey Bill waa Mr. Alexander Goldsmith, and the mare's name is Goldsmith Maid. "Henry V."was played in Atlanta recent ly, and one fiddler constituted the entire or chestra. "In tho furious battle scencs,"says the Constitution, "his bow flashed across the strings like shining strokes of swords." Tho climax of the lone orchestra's performance is thus described : "Then when tho charge rested and the King stopped for breath,, the fiddler stood by his post. Tho wounded groaned on the A string, begged for water on the K catgut, and cursed their luck on the G cord. Andante and adagio, piano and pianissimo, all tbo confused, pathetic and terrible scenes of tho fight were produc ed by the orchestra with painstaking labor, sudorific suffering and sublime skill. He crescended on the crescendo with crescend- ing crescendation, and diminished on the diminuendo with diminishing diminution." Paradise for Lazy Men. Senator Jones, of Florida, says an orange grove or a fig plantation ia the greatest richea a man can possess.

From theso times they commence, aud tor a century tbey bear their crops without nuy more ex pense for the old groves, except tho gather ing of the fruit, and in the meantimo new acres can be planted each year.

The Frenchman had with him ita counterpart in paste, and ho proposed to Bell the genuine necklace for $50,000 francs and let hia wife still think she had the real diamonds. The jew eller then asked for a few hours' time. He then called on tbo wife's grandmother who gavehira the 50,000 francs for tho husband. The money and the necklace wero h,.
