Jo:irnr.y'r.s wf st'.vitrd on The Atchison,
Tn; kn .t Sartn I e the nther day two old
w!terner -it together siiinkin'n chat
tinir. Ih'i" cni !y 1 he .-ondtit tor cnine itlohg,
hit llie etui ot! a b:.ir, HliU'd it, and join
ed t i.etii. One of ' lie men v a a Ttimcr
and the tit Jut a cut: 'e nd ier. Tliey were
full of aiR' dote, and after both had told
several stoi ii tlu rondtsctortook his turn.
The miner first sot his feet upon the back
of '.he font .alt cad of him and remarked,
s'mvly : '"Seven yenr a.o this winter wai
a itiihty dull eason in our camp. The
weather was col h-r'n tisnal, there wasn't
any water, wewerrsboyt of crnli, and the
I':diai w. re very tronhlr-sonie. We had
n'a.ttt t'.ftcrn or site. n in the camp. I be
lieve. (U:d we had to jro pretty eaoy on our
e. itah?e, tn jib to make them last. I had
l.eenkeepinta; -.everal men there, thinking
every day that we'd strike something rich,
and when they trot more and more dissat is
fled I premised them bitjtrer ami biiiccer
shares. I coi.id ?eo that tiie men were pet
ting about r.-nily to jump me, and that
Uk-v had hcxnn to ii.ok upon me as some
thiiiii f a lunatic. They would hold long
conferences toe-ether, speaking in low
tones, and when I came around they
would pretend to be talkinsi about tho
weather or Fomethino of that kind. I had
used them all pretty well, and they hated
to leave me, but they were getting un
tasv. "One day toward sundown, when I was
a" out reaily to give up myself, a young
Mexican couple, who were bound for
P'.ir.o. a, st railed into our disjuinps a Rood
deal the worse for wear. They had been
up in Colorado, and had started for home
with a team and driver, but the Indians
hail fci t on their trail, killed tho driver,
and stolen the hor-os and wagon.- The
travelers managed to pet away while the
driver was holding the s -iv;..pe at bay, and,
lying in hiding until nightfall, they had
w rVcd their way on foot into our camp.
The young wt man was one of the prettiest
). i; I ever &aw. She was about sick abed
when she arrive!, but the next day she
nn? ar'uti.'I as chipper as enybody, and
the K .ys were n. ahing themselves very
nrreeb!t. Pays I to myself : 'This Is a
special dispensation of Providence : if can
ketp the Kirl here for awhile there will he
no trouble about the boys: they'll stay
ten.' T never heard a word of grumbling
from them that day or the next.
' I was a little r.fraid the greaser would
f. 'et jal us and knife somebody : but then
I thought if he does the rest of the boys
will linish him, and then we will have th
pirl anyway. The Mexican seemed
rnxioiis to get away, but I made one ex
cise and another for not helping him right
away, and one morning he was missing,
lie had sloped durimr the night, leaving
the girl to us. Well, she was pretty well
cast down for awhile, but I explained to
her that probably her husband had gone
o: to cet horses and an escort, and that
he had taken this cour-e because he.
knew she would have objected to his
poing alone. 'I his faint hone seemed to
'ive her some comfort, and tne rest of the
boys f. 'l in with me, and if became the
settled conviit on about the camp that
he would be b: rk presently. She livened
up some, m d the lioys made themselves
Very agree.ihle. WI.e.n two weeks had
gone by and iiothintr had be n heard of
Iter husband she insisted on being taken
home, and offered us a nv amount of money,
which she said her father would pay, if
we would escort her over the border. I
be'an to fear that her husband was never
coining back, and, to tell the truth. I had
a still stronger suspicion of something
el-ie ; so I agreed to start witli her the
next morning at sunrise, and told tho
boys to be in readiness. That afternoon
we heard unearthly screams up one of the
fiuii hes a ways, and several of the boys,
running up with blanched faces to ee
what the matter was, found the little
woman besides new-made and very shal
low grave, into which she had dux far
enough to discover the body of her hus
band. As the boys stood there aghast
she stirang up quickly, and. drawing a
revolx or, shot two of them dead before
nny of ns could find voice. 1 threw up
hit hands: and beirued of her to desist,
and w lien some of the boys grabbed t heir
icr.i.g I pulled mine and made them put
them up Then I .ot her back to the
cabin, disarmed her, set one trusty fellow
to watch her, and called the ot tiers up
into the gulch. We uncovered the ticad
man and found two bullet holes in his
back.
" ' Who put them there ?' s.nid I sternly
to the men.
"'The two men whom she tshot,' they
answered."
Impossible!' says I. MTow could
she know ? ' "
" "She didn't know. She just hit them
by chance.' said one of the party. We
knew v hen they did It. but we didn't
want to say anything about it. They
thought to rob him and run off with her,
but she seemed to he afraid of them more
than of the others.'
" Well, I got kind of tired of that place
after that, and when I got things ready
to take her home I packed up my own
things also, and ns we set out I says to
the boys: ' uMd -by, old men. Voii can
work t he claim or not, just as yon please.
It ain't likely that I'll ever be here again.'
And I never did go back. They .slunk
away after awhile, too, and I've heard
thst nobody has ever worked there since.
1 took the girl home to her latherj and left
her there. She's there now. es, I see
her occasionally. In fact, I don't mind
tellinsi you she's my wife, and lias been
for In. or three years.''
The stock raiser pulled a quart bottle, (
with an outlineof Pike's peak blown in on .
one side of if. from his overcoat pocket,
took a drink, passed it. on. and when it j
came back to him took auoi her drink and j
said : "I'm prettv much a new-comer in j
this country. Most i.f my lif- a a cattle
man lias been pass d iu western Kansas i
and Nebraska, whe-e I know every inch of j
the land Irom M.licine J.odge to port .
Hobinson. Yonrstorv reminds me of some
thing that happened "in northwestern Ne- j
braika about, four years ago. Old Man j
Norris owned a big ranch es t there, and
when he got his house built he made his
two daimhters go out. and live in it. They i
were delicate girls, and it was a tvrrible j
place to tint them. Indians were roaming ,
around freely, and the white men they saw j
were a good deal more savage than the
Indians. The girls had Iwen fairly ednca- t
ted, and they had tastes which made their t
life on the ranch extremely irksome. One
of them was a romantic girl." who saw a
possible lover or knight in every man who j
carue along, white ir red: but the other ,
refused to be interested in any! hing, and !
before verv long sickened and died. It so j
happened that a jouiig Indian from Port
Kobinson. named Pone Crow, was at the i
house on the day of The funeral, and, see- .
ing the voting girl in tears, he spoke to her j
pleasantly and sympathetically. He was
a pretty good-looking fellow, if he was a .

Th.it late Thuvlow Weed one told me an
interesting incident of his life which has
beeu inadvertently omitted from his
Memoirs. It wt-p during the war of lSi'2,
when he was living in Cooperstown, X.
Y., the home of the nnrledt.-ed novelist,
and was setting type as a jourueyman
printer. " I was nineteen years old and
fell in love with Catherine Ostrander.
my landlady's daughter, two years younger
than I was. Her folks objected, very
properly, to her marrying a strolling
printer, without money or anything else,
and I agreed to wait.
" About this time I got into a bad
scrape. I. with three other young fellows,
who were rat her a hard lot, was arrested
on complaint of four girls whom we met
at a prayer-meeting. I had never seen
them before, but we walked home with
them, and they made achargeof improper
conduct against us all. The others got
bail, but I had no rich relatives and pre
pared to go to jaii. At the examination I
told the justice that I had no lawyer and
liO mopay '.9 psy one, when, to my great
surprise, a leading attorney of the town,
whom I had never spoken with and did
not know, stepped forward and gave bad
for me ard offered to defend T.ieT I'. was
Ambrose P. Jordan. I was delighted. '
did not go to jail, and at the trial the trirls
voluntarily declared that I was not a party
to the offensive transaction. I left town
for awhile, but came back in a year or
two and Catherine Ostrander accepted
me and we were married 1 never for

"Some fifteen years after that, when I
was in Albany in a position of some intln
e.nce, we were making up the Whig state
ticket in convention. The principal officers
had been placed in nomination, when s ime
liody said. ' Now for attorney general.'
We must have a man down in 'the middle
of the state."
" I named Ambrose P. Jordon, and he
was made our candidate and elected.
"When he came up to Albany he said
to mo: 'I have some conscientious
scruples about accepting this otlice. You
gave it to me because I defended you in
Cooperstown when you wanted a friend.'
"' Not entirely or exactly,' I said. 'I
merely reasoned that a man who would
come to the roscue of an unknown and
penniless youth fur the sake of seeing jus
tice done hud the right ideas to make a good
attorney general."
"Well,' he answered, "lam not en
titled to the credit you give me for either
sagacity or right feeling. I gave bail for
you and defended you because Cathorine
Ostrander came and made a fuss about

in the matter." She had never told me

Xlie Prisoner's Pet.
Michael Davitt has written a pnthctlo
description of the liberation of a pet black
bird which had shared with him his prison
life. For many months the feathered com-
F anion had relieved the tedium of his soli
ude, but he felt at last that he owed his
little friend the right of liberty. He savs :
" It was a day which would fill one's
whole being with a yearning to be libera
ted a day of sunshine and warmth aud
bauty, and the moment had arrived when
my resolution to jtive freedom to mv little
feathered 'chum' could no longer be sel
fishly postponed. I opined his door with a
trembling hand, when quick as a flash of
lightning he rushed from the cage with a
wild ser(am of delight, and in a moment
was beyond the walls of the prison ! The
instinct, of freedom was too powerful to be
resisted, though I had indulged the fond
hepe that he woidd have remained with
me. Hut he tancht me the lesson, which
ran never be unlearned by either country,
prison or bird that nature will not be
denied, and that liberty is more to be de
sired that fetters of goitl."

HAGAE'S ITJSHVE.
He Was Almost Tempted to t.et Tiirt
at .lack.
" I saw an exhibition of what you might
call nerve the other day up in Delaware
County," said Deacon Charles N. Hcan of
the pnblio stores. " 1 waa up there on
business last week, near Harpersfield, and
an acquaintance took ne out to fish
for pickerel thron rh the ice. On our way
to the pond we met a couplet of nien choj
ping in the woods. My friend knew one
of the men, and slopped to talk to him.
The other man kept chopping. He had
made but two or throe strokes with his
axe when it flew off the handle. The sharp
blade whizzed through the air, pas-ied close
to my friend's head. and, striking the
other rhopi er. whose name was Hagar,
cut his nose off close to his fice as clean
as if it had been done with a ra.or. Thn
man who had lost it put his hand np to
his f ace iu a startled sort of way, and
looked down at the severed nose as if he
could hardly believe his eyes. When the
full force of the situation struck him he
looked at his fellow-chopper with Rn ex
pression of surprise and deep injury on
Lis face, and said :
" ' Well, Jack, you're a d nice fellow,
ain't ye '
" Haear then stooped and picked up his
nose and pressing his handkerchief to his
bleeding face, astounded both my friend
and myself by resuming the subject upon
which they had been talking which was
the making of a contract for some chop
ping as if nothing of consequence had
occurred to interrupt it. My friend, how
ever, started the other chap to the village
after a doctor, and wanted to take Hagar
home at. once 011 his huckboard. Hagar
wouldn't hoar to this and he said he would
cut across to his cabin through the woods
and wait for the doctor, and he started ofT
without any apparent hnrry, carrying
his nose in his hand.
"When we returned at night we went
out of our way two miles to lnquiro after
Hagar. We found him chopping up fire
wood in front of the cabin. There was a
bandage around his face When we asked
if the doctor had seen him he said :
" ' Yes, hit's been here. He stuck the
nose on in its old place and bound it there,
and said he believed it would grow fast
again, as he had known of such things
happening. Say, 1 came blame near get
ting mad at Jack when that axe Hew off
to-day. He's always cutting up some dido
or other.'
"Then we drovo back to Harpersfield.
I had a letter to-day from my friend. He
hid just come from a visit to Hagar. He
says the man isgetting along, and that the
nose will grow fast again, sum Now, these
are facts, and I tell you that Hagar struck
me as giving an exhibition of What you
might call uerve." A'eic I'ork Sun.
Sowing With Hair.
It often happens that there is a small,
cleanly cut place in a bolt of goods. It
may not be known until after a garment
has been cut out. But when it is discov
ered the tailor cannot afTord to throw the
piece away. He simply calls on his wife
for several strauds of hair, hands them to
the best skilled workmen in the shop, and
bids him mend the rent. He uses & very
fine needle, and daes his work so per
fectly that it is never known that the
cloth was cnt. I once knew a tailor who
got in a peck of trouble from having cut
the button holes on the wrong side of a
costly coat. He finally overcame the difli
culty bv mending them with his wife's
hair. Once, upon a time I cut out and
had made a tine cloth coat, which was
discovered before beitu sent home to
have a defect in it which could not be
remedied without sticking in piece of
cloth the size of a ten-cent siiver piece.
After puzzling over it for half a nay, I
secired a sharp turbutar steel instrument,
used in cutting gun-wads. With this I
cutout the defect in the cloth, fitted a
piece in the hole taken from a scran of the
same material, and sewed it with hair. Of
course, I was careful to have the nap run
right. It was so perfectly done t hat no
one ever discovered it. Baltimore .Sttn..

A CUTE CAT.
She Showed Herself Possessed of Re
markable Reasoning l'oncr.
We had adjoining our house a vegeta
ble garden much infested with moles,
that did a great deal of mischief to the
garden produce and could not be got rid
of. One morning, while the family were
at breakfast, the cat, a beautiful tortoise
shell tabby, brought into the room a
dead mole "in her mouth, and laid it down
by the table. Her appearance as a mole
catcher was hailed with delight, and she
was rewarded with a fine piece of tish otf
the breakfast tahle.
The mole was carried out and thrown a
Utile distance from the house, on the
following mornmg, while the family were
again at breakfast, the same scene was
enacted, and excessive praise was awarded
to the cat, which it waa hoped was in a
fair wav of ridding the garden of the
pest. The same thing was repeated on
the third and fourth mornings, and tabby
on ench occasion being suitaoly rewarded.
On the fifth morning,w hen siie ma le her
appearance as usual.- the fsmiiy were
' taken by the nose," a most offensive
smell arising from the mole just brought
in. On examination, it was discovered
that the mole was in a state of decomposi
tion, and further investigation disci sed
the fact that tabby had been palming the
" orignal and only mole" as a fresh one
every morning, and thus fraudulently ob
taining the toothsome reward so freely
given for her supposed clever mole-catching
propensities.
Wotidcrv of the Depp Sea.
The United States i !m mission engaged
in deep-sea soundings are making many
and valuable discoveries. They show that
animal life is ripe and active at a depth of
0,000 and 2. aOO fathoms. At 1 . COO fat horns
large crabs have been collected, at 2,574
fat horns a huge lobster was captured. The
character of the soil and minerals is
another study. In the gulf stream
bowlders, pebbles, rare crystals, and pieces
of iron were collected. In other places a
strong clay and minerals of various kinds
were fathered up. These soundings bid
fair to reveal many long hidden secrets
which scientific men have longed to know.

ONE Of LINCOLN'S SI0EIE3.
Told to a tiovertior In the Darkixl
Hour of the Rebellion.
Just befo. e the bat t 'enf Fredcricksburgh.
knowing that a large numlier of Pennsylva
nia troops were with Deinside and that a
general cng tge nent between the two
armies was imminent. I went to Wash
ington and asked for transportation to
the front. A tug was placed at my dis
posal, and I reached t he army in time to
witness the battle. The terrible slaughter
of our tr. ops on th-.t day we all know.
"When our defeat was beyond ques
tion, I boarded the tug and hastened to
Washington, hopiiej, as railroad commu
nication was imii'jsible, to forestall the
exaggerated rumors that might lie ex
pected, and to alleviate even in only a
slight decree the slunk of unwelcome
tidings. It v.-as considerably past mid
night when I reached Washington, but I
proceeded directly to the White House.
It was no surprise to learn that the Presi
dent had not retired. I was Immediately
ushered into his presence. As he accosted
me and read in my fare the character of
the news T had to communicate he sank
into a chair with a sirh of distress."
What news. Cn ernor ? " said he.
" Bad ! very bad."
"Tell me all" He rested his head on
his hands while I gave the outline anil
the results of the battle. He heaved a
heavy sigh and looked et me witn an ex
pression of intense suffering, and I re
marked :
" I heartily wish I might 1m a welcome
messenger of go.vd news, instead that I
could tell vim how to conquer or get rid of
these rebellions States."
LtHiking up quickly with a marked
change of expression, Lincoln said:
"That reminds me of two 1iys in
Illinois who took a short cut across an
orchard and did not become aware of the
presence of avicioti-i dog until it was too
late to reach either fence, tine was spry
enough to escape the attack bv climbing a
tree, but the other started around a
tree with the dog in hot pursuit, until by
making a smaller circle than it was possi
ble for his pursuer to mnke. he gained
sufficient lv to grasp the dog's tail, anil
held with despei ate grip until nearly ex
hausted, when he hailed his companion
and called him to come down."
" What for," said the boy.
" I want yon to help me let this dog go."
"If I could only lei them go." Rani the
President, in conclusion : "but that is the
trouble. 1 am compelled to hold on to
them and make them stay." A" etc
York Tih'ijrmn.
" Did you kill anybody while von wer
in the army. Sergeant Smoker f'' " Y'ou
bet vour life I did," said the sergeant
" Whom did you kill " " Killed time. 51
"Ah!" replied the questioner; "I knew
that sol.iici s often marked time, but I did
not know- thev killed him.""
