IHE TEIALS OP A LADI OS BOBSEBACK.
We couldn't attend McAllister's ball;
tit couldn't swell the numbe of those who
Teoeirvd with Mrs. McKeej we didn't be
long to the Duquense Club, and bow wonld
we celebrate New Tear's Day?
About noon, Tuesday, we decided we
would go camping. Accordingly, with
snpre haste than elegance, we made onr ar
rangements and at 3 o'clock the entire
Ttarty was ready to start for the foothills of
the AlleghenTS. Ourparty consisted of five
married couples, three young ladies and a
corresponding number of young gentlemen,
besides Xee Hop, the chef, and Jack, the
teamster. TVe formed quite a Fourth of
July procession as we lelt the city. "Dis
tinguished citizens in carriages. Officers of
the Bay on horseback," etc., etc
The married people all preferred car
riages and the young folks rode horseback.
The belle of the party (did anyone ever
hear of a party without a belle) was a beau
tiful young girl with tresses like Patti's
latest. She was arrayed, in an exquisite
golden brown riding habit that made her
the envy of all the rest of the ladies, but
she had a serious time mounting her horse.
We congregated at -No. -.North iuland
avenue lor oar start It was the most gor
geous day; grass so green and sun so bright.
The only drawback was the intense beat,
but that did not affect any of us materially.
"We were glad to be alive, and as onr horses
were led up to the stone, we all mounted in
turn until the belie alone remained.
IXTO THE SADDLE.
All eyes were turned upon her, and she,
conscious of the admiration ana attention oi
which she was tire center, was inclined to
think the world looked very bright, as with
a Delsartian spring he bounded into her
saddle. It looked dazzling to her, she
afterward affirmed, as with anything else
but a Delsartian fall, she struck terra firms
onthe opposite side of her horse. Surprise
and mortification held full sway in her
lovely lace tor a moment, but she arranged
her hat and prepared for another interview
withhei ladyship. The second time, with
decidedly less spring and enthusiasm, did
she mount, and with the same neatness and
dispatch tid she dismount
"We all 1-ecame anxious and alarmed. The
young lady herseli looked as if she was half
inclined f think that "discretion was the
better pan of valor." To admit deleat, be
sides being very humiliating, would disar
range the plans ol the whole party. She
displayed admirable nerve and determina
tion and said: "I will ride that horse."
After taking the precaution to have the
saddle girth loosened, minus all enthusiasm,
very cautiously she climbed into the saddle.
"With a firm grip on the bridle rein and
secure footing in the stirrup, she awaited
the aerial flight, hoping to avoid the descent
Her precautions were unnecessary; the
horse bad no idea of repeating the perform
ance, but cantered off in fine style, and we
equestrians all followed.
Our destination was a delightiully ro
mantic place above ilcKecsport, on the
clear mountain stream called the Youghio
gheny. It was rather a long ride but the
recent showern had settled the dust and the
evening was entertainingly balmy. A
sweet peace and joy stole over us all "as we
left the heat and noise of the city and trav
ersed the oool. ouiet roads of the ronntrv.
The snnset was radiantly beautiful and in
rapt, ecstatic bliss we viewed it and the
ever beautiful scenery along our path. "We
reached the camping ground about 6 o'clock
and the gentlemen immediately proceeded
to pilch the tent Lee Hop built a fire and
commenced the preparations for dinner,
while Jack took the horses off to picket
FLOWEES Iir FULIi BLOOIT.
The ladies investigated and found our
surroundings far surpassed our most san
guine expectations. Flowers were in lull
bloom, birds were singing, and down at the
edge of the river we could get glimpses of
the pretty little fish as they sportedgleefully
in the clear crystal waters. The fumes of
the rapidly cooking dinner were quite a
magnet, and we did not tray far from the
busy camp scene. "With a promptness that
would delight the heart oi an average board
ing house landlady, we all responded to the
dinner calL And what a jolly dinner it
was. xee Mop, besides being on amiable
Celestial, was an artist in his line, and
nothing was lacking in the way of pro-
just as sbe was-eajoying her third fish, as if
to prove her-claim to the belle cognomen,
she managed to get a fish bone either
"stuck on" or in ter throat. "What a
commotion she did create, almost
as much as if it had been a
giddy benedict who had been the victim
oi her charms. Each member of the crowd
had a remedy for a tenacions fishbone. All
were tried in turn, while vigorous friends
practiced gymnastics'on her back and chest,
but
THE FISHBONE SXH.Ii BEMADf ED.
The poor, dear girl, with a vermilion
colored Dose, swollen eyes and a slightly
aroused temper, commenced to write her
"last will and testament" The prospects
were-that the enjoyment of the tnp would
be annulled by a great tragedy that wonld
break the hearts ot a number of friends and
relatives and furnish startling head lines
for the daljy papers, when a bright ides,
occurred to one of the younger men.
Having a toy snaae in his pocket, with
which he had intended terrorizing the young
ladies, he managed to have it, in an artist
ically natural manner, crawl near the rest
ing place of the suffering maiden. The
fright sent the offending bone and the heart
of the fair damsel down far enough to re
lieve her suffering and make it necessary
for her to recline upon the manly bosom of
the wise young man who was hovering sus
piciously near in tne Direction in wmen na
thought she wonld spring. He now claims
the gratitude ot the numerous relatives and
immediate family of the young lady tor
saving her life. It is hinted that solitaire
will grace the third finger of her left hand
as soon as the young man strikes a natural
gas well or matures a plan for the cheap
transportation of ice from the North Pole,
upon which his inventive brain is now oc
cupied. The excitement of the startling event
abated, we began to prepare for the break
ing up of camp and the return to the city.
And as the tents were quietly folded, and
we said goodbyto the scene of -so much
happiness, r great deal of sentiment was
wasted on the desert air, instead of the pro
verbial sweetness of the blushing rose. ,
A delightful ride, without any special in
cident of interest, landed us here in the city
as the shades of eve were falling, and we en
joyed the greatest pleasure of the whole
event in telling our less lavorea lrienas
what a delightfully, entrancingly good time
our party had enjoyed.

Being Perforated.
When the night detail of patrolmen were
waiting in the Allegheny police station,
shortly before 8 o'clock last evening, Officer
Durkin began to examine bis revolver, It
is a double-action, hammerless gun of S3
caliber. Some of his brother officers, who
knew bis weakness for letting his revolver
go off at odd moments, begged him to Dutit
in his pocket until they had time to get out
side. Durkin only laughed, aad contin
ued to handle the weapon. It was dis
charged. The bullet buried itself in the
wall not four inches from the head of an
other policeman who was sitting on a
bench in front of Durkin.

DAKOTA'S DESTITUTION.
The Governor Slakes an Official Statement
na to Its Came and Extent Tiro Suc
cessive Poor Craps In the
Northern Counties.
St. PattIi, January 1, The joint com
mittee of the Chamber of Commerce and
Jobbers' Union met Governor Miller, Sen
ator Dodds and Commissioner Helgeson, of
North Dakota, yesterday, and discussed the
situation, in the destitute sections of that
State. Action was decided upon by the
committee calculated to prevent indiscrim
inate bestowal of sympathy in the future.
In view of the conflicting reports regarding
destitution among settlers on the new State,
Governor Miller made the following official
statement:
In my official capacity I have been subjected
to two influences. Being engaged with other
affairs I was perhaps not at first fully Informed
as to the actual extent ot the destitution, but
after being relieved from these duties I beean
receiving Information from different localities
in regard to tneir wants. I also received com
munications from other portions of Dakota
manifesting no little uneasiness at the reports
which were getting out as to our condition. 1
think it is true thatbere has been a certain
decree of exaggeration as to onr wants and
needs, but there has been no disposition on my
part, nor on the part of those associated with
me, to in any way cover np the facts or prevent
necessary aid being furnished to the people ab
solutely in need ot it
At my suggestion the Legislature confirmed
the appointment ot Mr. Helgeson as special
representative of the State to Investigate.
Conflicting reports have been abroad every
where, some Dortlons of the community claim.
lng there was not much destitution, others that
there was a great deal. There is much suffer
ing in some or tne nortnern counties. The

visions upon which to exercise his still.
After dinner, as we were all slightly fa
tigued and stupid, we decided to suspend
operations for the day and retire. The un
married men suspended immediately by
climbing into the hammocks prepared for
them, and the rest of the partv meandered
toward the tent, which was partitioned in
the center, making two apartments. "We
had a gay time locating for the night, and
in a very short time were reposing in the
arms of Morpheus when.horror upon horror!
Could it be possible? Did our ears deceive?
No, the noise was becoming more and more
distinct, and we realized to our chagrin and
dismay that we had a snorer in camp, who,
in spite of our feelings, continued to snore,
and rivaled the guns, cannons and whistles
with which folks in the city were about that
time welcoming thenewyear. Duringthere
aainderof the nighr the gentlemen relieved
each other (and the feelings of the entire
party) in throwing boots and shoes at the
offender, but all to no purpose. To our
agonizing entreaties that he discon
tinue his sheet music he would murmur
lnaudibly and continue the solo with
variations. If any and varied were the dire
threats which threatened his safety, bnt as
he was a man of family, none were carried
into execution. At last morning dawned,
m nch to our delight Never was New Year's
.uay more serenely beautiful. The gentle
shower that annoyed the people in the city
did not visit our camp. After washing our
Sices and hands in real primitive style and
enjoying the results of Lee Hop's labor in a
truly delicious breakfast, we held a consulta
tion of war, for the lords of creation de
clared we should not go fishing with them,
but must content ourselves gathering wild
. roses and Dlaving at Little Bed Riding
-Hood and the Babes in the Wood.
ANGLING POE THE FISH.
"We insisted upon going, and ignored, in
a true Christian spirit, the many hints
thrown out about therequiremenUand mum
ness of a successfnl angler. Under protest
they allowed us to 50. When we arrived at the
river bank, the gentlemen with undue haste
put flies on our lines and then flew, figur
atively speaking, to a safe distance, tor fear
we would indulge in conversation. The
jueai xney eiiner selected the best place or
had the prettiest flies, for they just pulled in
the fish, while their faces fairly beamed with
delight! and we well, we consoled each
other when we found the fish were not in
clined to give us the ballot or the bite. We
moralized on the wickedness and depravity
of men to so deceive the poor, dear little
fish. All too soon it was time to start lor
camp; and regardless of the sly "I told voa
so's" and the pitying glances thatthe sterner
sex favored us with, we enjoyed the ascent
ever so mncb. The gentlemen were in a
decidedly good humor. A splendid re
ceipt, by the by, for sweetening a husband's
temper would be to send him fishing about
vjjace "week. If there is a possibility of

While Officer Daniel Kroll. of Alle

on North avenue near East street, a bomb
made out of a long section ot gas pipe was
hurled out of an alley and shot past him,
within a few inches of his legs. It exploded
with a terrific report not over 20 feet from
him, but be luckily escaped injury. The
officer searched the neighborhood, but could
not find any person whom he thought had
thrown the bomb. He thinks it was in

Indigestion
IS sot only a distressing complaint, ot
itself, bat, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en
feebled, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayer's Sarsaparllla
is the best core for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
ia proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, ot BrockwUj
Centre, Mich.:
"Liver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years I suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to a skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
aii. Within the time mentioned several
Envsicians treated me without giving re
el. Nothing that I took seemed to do
any permanent good until I commenced
the use of Ayer's Sarsaparllla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa
rilla I could see an Improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
und with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength im
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, I found myself a well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me a
new lease of life."
