Th's.i a new view of tho r.att:r, nnd the i::--n were sr.enecd, if not c.m-vii.v-. -i. No one o; 'o.il Charlie Ilu-doc.-!":!, ami i.i a day or two lie c..t-"-ed upi.n his new duties. ilu was s :.t into tho mountain re-!oi4- to b.clp t-.ko trains o--r tho i.'.!'.et. jiass.-s in the Stato. Cntll one h.i- e-i s-i d t'.e It eky MoULtahij by 1 ! it is imt'ossibl f'..rii: r.a idea f th e a '.vfu'ai s of the-e pa.--es. The trai.i creeps sl iwiy up tho mountain, with labored breath, giving one a sen sntion of p-.I:ifi.I exertion. Tho road winds about to find tho easic-t grades, r.ow i ing bai-:: ? forth, now crossing iwlf by is: cans ct trestle work, or uriieHnL. under, but always going up'.varJ, slowly but surely. As tho train eihnbs hiv-her, far be low In s-onie abyss may bo seen the track already passed, while; high alnivo tower rows of snow sheds yet to bo gono through. In tho higher altitude tho feolitudo and stillness be como oppressive. One seem- lo-t in a sea cd mountain peaks, while above all tower mightier summits, eternally snow clad, whero foot of man has wver yet nod. ju tlio heat of raidsjaitrer belo it is alv.;:ys winter in theso p:iSses. Hugo ieie'ies hang uton tho roofs of these snow sheds, nnd deep snow lios on the ground. It w as at theentraneo to such a pass that Charlio and No. 147 were stationed. When the through express came, daily, it was divided into two sections, and each Section was given two eneines to pull it up the steep grade. Hut at the top it was coupled together again, ono loeomo time being quite enough to tako it over tho down grade, and tho remaining three wi re sent back again to help brintr the ii.-xt train up. Weil up i;i the pu-s stood i littlo Ctibia. '.vl.tT.i a few e' the section hand had ih dr ho,u. '1 hero w ere t.v 1 lii.t:,-chhilroa. a boy and a girl in this family, to whom Charlie camo much attached. Thev wrc pretty little creatures, but it secmod a lonely life for them. :-.hit,., entirely from playmates, frvm sohiM.l and all tho pleasant things which children love. A water-tank stood near the cubiu. where the loenmot; ves stopped to tako ia water, and in summer the cl.4.ure:i r;-.:i through the cars while tm-y '.ed jl.illiT 1 'jur.ches of the K-aiiti.f: l C 1 torado v. ild fluworb which biOasom in spite of discouragoLifciit under the shadows of tho cverlartine-s-nov banks. lh!s wn their only diversion and Charlie learned to watch for them as tho prettiest inci dent of the trip. Ho always had a pleasaut word and smile for them, and often something more An apple or an orang. a pretty card, which, sr.a'i as it wr..-, went far to brighten the. childrons' day. No. 1 7 Ixhaved herself perf.'tlv. As week aft-T w-.-k and month aftr month s.iftv'il l.v. ...v.i ipp d s'.o tild Iiot e on kill a si. en, tl j train men 1t--iii to breathe fro. r. and ever. Charlio v.-a., conscious of a s'n.-o of relief. It v. as generally believed that tho overhaul ing in the repair shops had changed her dNpc.rltlon. OlIj old Mlko was skeptical. There's no good ia hor," ho said. "Sne only bilin - her time, an" she'll do worse than she ever dhramed of be fore wan of these days." l.ut the other men laughed and called him a bird of ill omen. Ono warm, bunny day, in early July, the train had climbed to tho summit of the pass, and Charlio was rea.lv to retrace his course. The air was sultry; oppressively warm. Even at t.10 summit the scow was melting rapidly, and down by the cabin the heat was felt Pensibly. Charlie often said that his return trips reminded him of sliding down hill. Ho kept the fires low, and tho enrine slipped along of its own weight, gathering -momentum as it went, until it almost flew. To-day ho stood watching tho track before him, as No. 147 sped over the rails, admiring, naif unconscious ly, tho wonderful panorama 6prcad out beforo him. and thinking, quite, consciously, of a littlo blue-yed girl ha had left at tho East, wondering how soon ho might havo a home for her in tho West. Then ho thought of No. H7. with how much distrust ho had undertaken her. and how pleasantly sho had disappointed lam. lie. felt in perfect sympathy with her now sure that tho would respond to Lvia touch, confident that he could always guide her. "We un derstand each other, don't wo, my beauty," ho said, half aloud. Tho locoraotivo whizzed along. Looking up abovo hint, ho could 800 tho other engines, apparently not far away, but ho knew that miles of tort uous, twisting track lay between them. And bi.lovv v as tho most fat1 Qj'lnhTtj !:-. 'no .levia o'i t'roiu t;.o t ra k, a: i I.o wo' ld go i ."isliing down into its depths, to certain destruction. He was Hearing tho cabin now. Two more -hirp t'trr rnd it would come in'o view, and he would slacken his p ed for r moment that he might have a word with hi.s little gh-L She is a sweet. child," lie said half aloud to himself, ''-.liowitki'S mo think of Uessle." And now ha tuned tho first c urvii. Tlio turn was a sharp one. the gr.vdo very bleep and as ho came in sight of the track 1-eyor.d ho saw the li'.tle girl of whom ho had j ;-t been thinking. lying, apparently n-.c-p cm tho track, ocarcdy a stone's throw be fore him. To reverse his engine, to put on tho fall power of tho brakes, to A-. hist!e the danger signal loudly, nil this was bat tho work of an in-tant, but he knew only too well that it was usolesj, that before the engine could possibly bo stoppd ho would bo upon tho child. Tho noise awakened her. She raised her hi .iu, and turned a frightened. le Wii le:ed face toward Liu. JIo wa-so near ho could seo the wh" . .-s of In r eye. II thought ho hear i h r spe.-.k. He c'o- his eyes. Ho CO'l'd not see his en T'.i: : pass over and ln.'ingle that ilttle f..r:n. and even In that moment cf agony he was coiisc'lou-i of a hundred dilTerent things. Of wondering how bo could eri-r m t I the mother's eye. when he h-id killel her child. Of ho-.v edd Mike would exult, and say: -I told j'o so," ai.d then there camo a cra-h, and a thud, and he knew no more. When lie carno to himself ho v :.s lying on his own bed, in the board ing house, at the entrance to '-he pass. Ills mother sat besido hi:n, and Tommy lV.rn.s. ono of the firei.i. n, w as at tho window. Ho felt strange ly, ho tried to move his right arm, but it was useless. Then ho lilted his left arm to his head, and found it covered with bandages. His mother hastily in'ercept.-l his motions. 'TLei-c, there, dear," she said, -it's a.ir.ut. I am here, take thi-.," and she put a spoonful of something to hie lips. Ae:ikly obc-diont, ho obeyed, but gradually memory asserted itself, and he could not ktep Cjuiet- -What was it?" ho aaked. "I killed a child, didn't 1?" "No, dear," said his mother. "Tom my knows just how it happened; ho wid tell you, if you feel strong enough to hear iu" . Ho tua.io a gesturo o' a-ssent, and Tommy camo from tho window to the bousido with that sheepish air which strong, well men often wear, and lo gan: "The little kid is all right," he said, "though No 1 17 meant to kill h.-r fasl enough. You see, just before you got to her. there was a broken mil. Don't kuow how it hapjiened. funis about it. Track walker was over there not an hour before, an' says it was n-.l right. Wall, it was there, any how. and No. 117 wan't lookin' out for it, an' it was too much for her. Sho pitched orTn tho batik, and she rolled over nn' over, more'n a thou sand foet, clean to tho bottom of the cai.yoiu An' thcro she'll bo to tho day of judgment, for she's tore all to piocud. an' servo her right, too. . "You was pretty well bunged up. Ami broken and head cut i:p an' ho tie y fixed up a bed for von, an" j bronpht you rh;ht along on tho train. An wo leliygrufted for your mother to eomo an' take care of j-ou, an" shogot hero that liight. You've been purty sick.

T., near the Missouri river, and in ono cd the most sccp.iestered localities to 1m) found in t lie whole count-y, I aeeidontally ran ncross an "old-ti'iier" nam.-d Clark, who went there some time away back in the sixties, and ihero he has t.-iyed and r.tL-..-d a family c.f a half-oo.en or more sons ii;d daugh ters, who tiro so large that they really sei in to belong to Som j giant tribe, for not. a single one of them weighs h-ss than two hundred pounds, nnd th--y look every inch as healthy as their weight Indicates. This pioneer and liis family havo b.;cn so long shut o!f from civilization that they havo actjuirel a sort of mountaineer dialect poculi ir to themselves, and when they first gazo upon j-ou you almost imagine that their fierceness of looks somewhat resembles in aspect that very much dreaded monster of tho Western w ilds the grizzly, "'cr'. On a closer acquaintance, however, j ou soon discovered that tho fierceness of looks soon gave way to tho warm-e-t kindness, for their very heart strings freely go out to mako the stranger w ho may chance to bo their guest comfortable and happy, and v it'll tho wearing away of tho back wardness and modesty they seem to b. among tho cleverest people on tho giobe. Around their homo is yet to bo found plenty of game, and hunting is a favorite pa-timo with the Clarks, as ono readily observes tho walls of their rustic dwelling covered with tho skins of the bear, mountain lion, deer and many other animals. .. . In fact, theso Niinrods obtain quite a revenue from tho sale of furs, and in geueral don't mind attacking any kind of a "varmint" that comes in their way. Thi-, of course, has caused them to havo many ferocious and hand-to-hand encounters. As likewise they havo had many of tho narrowest escapes from death by tho rage of ani mals on record. Ono would naturally suppose that theso hunters, having destroyed so many wild animals, could scarcely bo CTjK-ctod to feel any way timid at tho presence of beasts, but on questioning the old pioneer I found him exceeding ly afraid of grizzlies. "Theiu are 1 esky critters; file and iito to beat all mitur," exclaimed ho. "I wud a" soon In chucked 'mong a hull pa.el of w elves nnd expect to wallop my way is to tackle a mad grizzly 'thout thlnkin' o' gettln' chawed up. Arter tha ar shot to pieces thar is more fite in ono to the squar inch than in all the wolves on airth piled together." I did not so much wonder at his expres sions afterward, for at tho very tim we were conversing there lay his sec ond son in a bedroom near by, badly mangled in nn encounter with ono of the gri.zlie- only two days previous. It was one of the most exciting nd Vi nlures willi a bear wo over heard of. and hapioj,cd in this wise: Tho son had taken his fire-arms and a scout ing along on tho side of tho table-land adjoining the premises, when suddenly ho heard bis dog givo tongue in a very peculiar manner only a few rods in front of him. Thinking that it might bo nothing more than some small ani mal ho endeavored to coax tho dog away, believing that tho barking of tho latter would frighten away game of moro importance. Tho dog, how over, btuck to the bushes, and the son was induced to attempt an exploration. Looking from the outside tho bushes were of such dense growth as tocntire ly conceal evory thing within, so Clark noticing a sort of pathway leading into the interior, with his gun in hand, stooped down and began to crawl to ward tho center of the thicket Scarce ly had ho entered tho bushes beforo an ugly snort, followed by a terrific growl, and then a huge grizzly camo tearing toward Clark, mad with rago, because ho had been disturbed in his winter retreat. Clark had just time to hurriedly crawfish out of the thicket and half raiso his gun to his shoulder before the bear sprung from tho thicket and stood erect in front of tho hunter, so closo to tho latter that, although ho fired, it was without taking aim, and the bullet only slightly wounded tho animal in the jaw. Tho next moment a blow from the grizzly's hugo paw knocked Clark, gun and all, over a stoop bank at least fifteen feet distant, among some shrubs and gravel. With open jaws, tho grizzly sprang after him, as if intending to finish up his foe, bhould the latter still exhibit any sign, of Ufa. As Clark lay almost un conscious, tho hugo beast grabbed him by tho side. and. after giving him a good shaking, threw Lim dowa and stood over his body growling savage ly. At this spectacle Clark's dog bo came enraged, and rushed to the res cue of his master, snapping at the bear furiously. ... The bear's anger increased, nnd ho sprang after tlio dog, which led him a chase up the l ;.i:k, when the bear di.-covcred fro-h enemies. Tito Clark Ihom! was not far distant, raid tho re maining memliers uf tho i.-.mi'y had heard Lho fight from tho beginning', and hurried to tho sor.'s ivsci .

It dazed the old hunter so that for a long time he could lift quit talking about the "bar's" big jump. Disappointed at cot catching its enemies tho grizzly whined and made a second charge, but man and borse lucki'y got out of his reach. Two more of Clark's sons had by this time come up and lired at tho grizzly from behind some bushes. He was badly wour.ded, but full of wrath, and thej ij young men had nn excit ing time "hustling" among tho bushes to keep themselves out of his reach, for, almost blind with rage, bedashed over every obstacle in his way in tho most reckless manner. Finally he discovered ono of the sons at a short distance nnd made a desperate rush AjfTward him. There was a steep bluff near at hand, at the foot of which lav huge piles of bowlders. After drop ping his gun tho young man ran with tho speed of a deer, exis ting to reach a clump of buches that sto. d at the odyo of the brink. The grizzly gainod on him every D'.Oir.ert, but the J'tHlflg innn sprang over Some villi's and was behind the busdies in a t vinkling. But tho grizzly was iu such has to to catch liis foe that ho either could not check his speed or else tripped, and the next moment was seen tumbling through the air like an immense ball straight for tho rocks at the bottom of i the precipice, a hundred feet below. As he struck with a heavy thud a howling roar rent the nttnosphere, for the very life v. as almost crushed out of him, mid ho was then at the mercy of t the Clark family, who immediately dispatehcd him. lho son, who was so badly injured in the beginning of tho light, was found with sjveral ribs broken and whs s"t -1 . 1 3 crushed and bitten.

HE GOT THE EARS. The- Mory of n Tim Faithful Servant ol an Irish s.iuirc'a l.a.ly. A queer episode, in Connaught life was tli'-case of Penis Bodkin vs. Pat rick French. The plaintiff and de fendant were neighbors. The latter was of the "ould slitock," fail of airs and possessed of an intolerable tem per. Ho .and his wife had conceived a deep dislike for Mr. Boili, w ho 1 n lertaincd an coital aversion to tho Frenches. Bodkin happened one day to give particular offense to the 'Squire and lady. Thai evening they entertained a large company at din ner, when Mrs. French launched out in abu-e of her enemy, concluding her wish "that Somebody would cut otT the fellow's cars, and that might quiet him." The subject was changed after awhile, aial all went on wel! till supper, at which time, when every body was happy, the old butler, one Ned Began,' who, according to custom, had drunk euough, came in. Joy .was in his eye, and, whisjiering something to his mis tress which she did not comprehend, he put a large snufT-box into her hand. Fancying it was some whim of her old servant, she opened the box and shook out its contents, when lo! a pair of bloody ears dropped out on the table. The horror of the. company was awak ened, upon which old Ned exclaimed: "Sure, my lady, you wished that Penis Bodkin's ears w;re cut o!T, so I tolti old Geoghegan, the gamekeeper, and he took a few handy boys, with him and brought back his ears, and here they are, and I hope you are pleased, my lady." The gamekeeper and the "boys" left the county. French and his wife were held in heavy bail at the Galway Assizes, but the guests proved that no such order was given; that it was a mistake on the part of the servant. They were acquitted. The "boys" and their leader never reapjMtared in the county until after the death of Bodkin, who lost his ears many years lieforc his death. Lnxrj'ool Courier.

Insects' eggs are not all of an oval form, like ilu.se of birds, but some are like a pear, some iiko an orange,' f . no like a p ran. id, raid some like a Cask. s-- The egg of the gnat, for instance, may be compared, in shape, to that of a powder-hade. ;:nd the mother gnat lays about three hi'ndrc.l jit a time. Now, each egg, by itself, would sink to the bottom of tho wtt. r; yet the gnat puts the whole, three hundred to gether in the form of a little boat, and in such a way that they will all swim on the surface of the water; and a very curious way she has of manag ing this. Like ot her insects, tho gnat nas six legs. Four of theso (the four foreleg-) sJ.e fastens to a floating leaf, ot to the side of a bucket, if she is 011 Hie w.-tb-r contained in a bucket. Her body is thus held level with the water, ece,t the last ring of her abdomen, which is n little raised. This being done, she ls-;iias1o make me of hel ot her two legs (or hind legs), and crosses them in the shape of the letter X. The open part of this X, next to her tail, serves as a kind of scaffold ing, to support the eggs she lays, un til the boat is formed. Each egg. w hen laid, is covered with a kind of glue; and the gnat hohhtho first laid egg in the angle, of tho X until the second egg is laid by its side, and glued to it; she then glues another egg to its other side. All those stick together thus: ' - - . making a kind of triangle, or figure of three, nnd this is the lv-ginningof the boat. Thus she goed on. piling egg upon egg, always keeping the Ixiat in proper shape by her useful hind legs. As the boat grows in size she pushes it from hor by degrees, still adding ta the unfinished end next to her body. When tho tmcit is half built her hind legs aro stretched out thus: The X, or cross form, is no longer wanted, and she holds up the bout as cleverly as If it wero done with two outstretched arms.g Tho boat is at length completed,' and an excellent Itoat it is, quit".: water-tight.
