Why the Bay was -EeBBleeJ. . A big newsboy was yesterday don- bled over a bench at tbe City Hall Market, too sick to move and too dis couraged to care what became of him.

What other things, and how much ?" I inquired. Tbis seemed to stump him for a moment, but, after a pause, he said : Well, some lime ago, tbey put a new fence around the parsonage, and subscribed Cfty cents to it. and when tbe fence was finished they were five cents short, and I gave tbat too." After a good hearty laugh at the man's story, I said : Bat I have known mean minis ters, too," and cited the following case: A well-known publisher once told me tbat having issued tbe life or a celebrated divine, he invited the min isters of an ecclesiastical body- then in session to call at his place and re ceive a complimentary copy of the book. Nearly the whole number availed themselves of this kind offer. One clergyman, after getting bis book, turned to the gentleman who waited on him, and said : "I am greatlv obliged to yoa for this, bat, to tell the troth, I bought copy of this memoir the day before tbis kind offer was made ; now, I wish yoa woald exchange this copy for some other book." The exchange was made. "One of the closest men T ever knew," I continued, "was Mr. H., who made an arrangement with his milkman to receive one cent's worth of milk each morning. When this arrangement had been in operation for some time, Mr. M. met - the milk man one day, and said: : - - "I sm much obliged to yon for the arrangement about the milk, bat the fact is we hardly need a cent's worth of milk every day. If yoa woald leave as a half cent's worth every morning, snd collect one cent on al ternate days, it would suit as better." Tbe milkman declined splitting tbe cent , On another occasion Mr. M. wa in a railway train. By Lis side sat a stranger and both were reading the morning paper. After a time the stranger said : ' - "As we bsve read oar papers, sop pose we exchange." To which Mr. M. replied: "J woold be glad to exchange with yoa, bat tbe trade would hardly be a fair one, yoa baring paid only three cents for your paper while 1 paid fonr for mine." , The stranger took from his pocket a nickle, and depositing it on Mr. M.'s knee, the exchange was satisfactorily adjusted. "When a friend of mine, Mr. C waa at Saratoga, some years ago," said Dr. Smith, "a man cams in from the country to look for a preacher for the coming Sabbath. Mr. C. had two sons in the ministry, and so the nan naturally applied to him ; bat neither thst bs hoped no dsmsge was done He wss then asked wbst ha charged tor preaching, lie said be never made any charge.

' - ' On Tuesday last a scoat from Fort Steele came op with dispatches for a surveying party away above ns in the Medicine Bow Mountains. Being an old friend and chum of Jim Ad ams, the guide,, the latter saddled a broncho to accompauy bim a few miles juat for a cbat Jim's farorite hor30 was picketed in the grass near camp, and Miss Maggie Foreman remarked to her sister who is tbe wife of Mr. Ad am's brother that the horse was such a handsome one she bad a great desire to take a ride on him. Her sister replied that sb- bad often ta ken a ride on the animal, aod that he was perfectly safe. The horse was brought in, and tbe writer saddled bim and assisted Miss Foreman to mount- She galloped around the camp for a whireand was about to dismount, when a shot watt beard about 500 yardj op tbe river, and a moment la ter aa enormous biack elk came dash ing out of a ravine, with Jim a short distance behind in full chaw. The elk waa wounded, bat ji-wbW to run at great speed. Ice writer, in sport only, never dreaming she would undertake it, banded Miss Foreman a large army Colt's revolver, and told her to ro and catch the enormous animal. Miss Foreman took tbe weapon and start ed toward tbe elk. which was but a short distance away at that moment. And now began an exciting chase. The horse was thoroughly trained for such work by Mr. Adams, aod as soon aa started op the trail, dashed forward with frightful speed. Ad ams urged the horse forward ia a vain endeavor to overtake her, but the little broncho which be bestrode wss no match for his favorite steed. The elk started fcr the mouth of canon, about a mile distant, through waicn it coald reach the higher mountains. We felt greatly alarmed for Miss Foreman's safety, believing' that in tbe excitement of the chase her horse had become unmanageable, until sbe was seen to fire tbe revolv er at tbe elk, and then we knew ehe was after meat. Two, three, four shots were fired, and yet the speed of tbe elk was not e3seaed: but at the fifth shot it was observed to waver, stagger, and in a moment fall heavily to the ground. Then Miss Foreman was seen to halt and fire another &hot into tbe animal as it lay struggling near the horse's feet. We bitched op a wagon and drove to the scene, where we found Adams sitting opoD the body of the fallen monarch of tbe mountains, while Miss Feremao, flushed and triumph ant, stood near. When we praised her daring, Ad ams said : ' "These Iowa girls are business ev ery time. I'm from Iowa myself, and I know a few of 'em; but ehe can't peck off ail praise, for there ain't another horse ia the mountains that could have hugged up to that e'k like Billy did ; eh, old boy ?" And be caressed the noble animal in a very affectionato manner. We had no facilities for weighing tbe an imal, but Jim says it will crowd 900 or 1,000 pounds very closely.

The fire has continued without interruption, and tbe eoal bas been consumed for a half mile in every direction. The ground has cavrd in in many places, leaving great chasm that vary from fifty to one hundred feet in length. Travel over tbe burnt district is ex ceedingly dangeroos to any one not familiar with tbe country, for in many places great holes are only cov ered by a shell of burned earth three or four feet thick.

A bulldog that was stolen from Lord Dufferia, in Canada, a year ago, turned op lately in Terre Haute, where she killed a Texas steer in a street fight. Col.

The Evanaville Journal cf laat Wednesday, said : "Yesterday, while the colonel wa3 leading a horse worth $1000 past tbe dog. she leaped toward the tors? with Buca tremendous farce that tbe collar snapped like a string.
