For, it Was not a tower, never had been al tower, and in sil probability never had been intended for:a timer: It was a cottage; one-storied, straggling ;in comfortable, with a semi-circular parlor ;in front, which, topped off with a comical imitation of wooden battlements, was .half covered with waving sprays of woodbine and dinging sheets of ivy. ; But "The Tower" it had always been en. titled, and after that lawsuit came up it ac quired a sort of celebrity under the old, hi• miliar name. Yes," said Miss Isidore - res, "The Tower is mine still, and I intend to keep it Everything. else they, ,have taken away froth 1120, because some logger -headed old anew ter of mine signed his,riame to a deed John B.

"I can't help that,"-'said MIS Pidara: " Hers I am, and here I mean to Stay, law or no law." Mrs. Milroy opened heir weak eyes. 'Fee ble as a kitten herself, she could.;scarcely comprehend such valiant resolution in anoth• er.

" Don't you'see!" Raid Miss Isidora, snap pishly. " BeeSase it will be full of law pa pers. Writs and summons, and alt that sort of thing." "Oh I"' said gra Milroy. Thus, acting upon the hint, Miss Isidore turned the, plumber's man away, and reso lutely declined to have anything to say to the book-agent and the tract-distributor. She considered herself in a state of siege, took tint Morning's bilk into the window with a tin-pan $l,l a chain, communicated with the trades'people from behind two' : equate inches of doorway, and took . every-, , body she did not know for an enemy.

And one pleasant October afternoon, when the air was all blue mist, and the settingsun shone as if through a medium of opaque gold, the landlord of the Toplady Arnie came,pulting up the hill with a stout, pleas% ant.faced gentlemen, and rang the bell, which echoed like a double chime through the. tiny Tower. - P "do away!" said DEss iddora, from the irindow f spying the tope of two hats.

Martin, according to his own letters, began to cultivate his gift of control over animals In the days when he was connected with a circus, by acquiring an extraordinary power over horses, which he taught, every trick known to, the profession, and semi; of which havehardly been exactly paralleled.

Martin' struck-, the animal over the nose for a second 'time, and then, feeling his strength exhausted,' gave himself up for lost,Ond turnedhis back to the beast, sothat at the next spring it might attack I the beck of his neck, and so - "make an end of the business."

Fi cree man and Barely - Escapee Death. •Charlie Boyer, Sheriff of Grand County, while hunting.in Egeria Park, had a 'close call from being captured - by a grizzly bear. The day before Charlie and his brother had tilled a couple of deer, and on going up from camp the next momaing to pack in the deer they found nearly a half of one of the deer eaten up and the remaining half and the while of the other hadbeen cached. Snow being on the ground they tracked the grizzly to his lair. The boys, on finding him, opened volley of shots from their rifles upon him,' Ilene of which prove.l fatal: The bear made tracks at a lively rate for a distance of three miles, his pursuers following , closely in i his wake. - When they first sawliim helatas not over ten or fifteen yards distant higher up the mountain, etting in a pool of\!water. Charlie immediately fired at but the shot took effect too low and';'ineceeded only in breaking his jaw, which 6 .under the circumstances that followed proved very for tunate and probably saved the hunter's life. As quick as he had fired, Charlie slipped another cartridge into . his rifle and at the same time the bear gave a terrible roai and bennded towards him. Three leaps brought him nearly within reach of the end of the rifle, which Clurlie bad again aimed, but the cartridge:wigged fire and the next 'sec ond the bear intuited on him and knocked him some eight or ten feet down the hill. While these:movements were being,ilreze =tea, the whole of which occupied but a fraction of a minute, Harry was . a short dia.. Lance away, and as Mr. Bruin jumped on: Charlie, after knocking him down, Harry drew his rifle and with a well-directed aim sent a bullet whizzing into the brain of the enraged . brrite, which immediately rolled over down the hill, kicking his last earthly kicks, while Charlie picked himself up and indulged in onwof the longest and sweetest' breaths on record.—Central City hegira r.

Let ns now look at another and very nu - merous class - of, patients—namely, those la boring under fixed or transitory delusions. Some patients, although quite able to do easy housework—able, iu fact, to perform the duties of everyday life, and to occupy themselves:or engage in games with appar int sanity and pnopriety—are; when ques tioned, foam:lto labor under the most ex traordinary fancies and ideas, which to any one not accustomed to the insane - 1 appeal preposterous and incredible. There is no end to the absurdity and variety of these perv: s erted imaginations. A man will con verse with you quite intelligently on the leading article of to-day's newspaper, on the last budget, or railway stock, and then sud denly inform you that his head is -made of brass, and that he has no inside—that it has been all .burni,ont ;f . and no amount of rea-. soning will convince this man to the con trary. Indeed,l there is no more hopeless 'task than to attempt to convince an insane person of the falsity , of his delusions. He believes as firmly i in the tenth of them as we do that we live . ; his ideas are the concomi tants of strange and altered feelings, which have a real existence; and until these fan cies pass 'away, - they are not to be removed by demonstration or argument. Some pa 4ients, though good circumstances. will 'imaginetliat they are financially ruined; others oil the most , blameless lives, that they lmv,e l committed sins for which there ks no pardon, and that they are eternally doomed. 'Delusions are not,lhowever, always of a gltuy nature; on the contrary, in one of the commonest and mbrst fatal forms of in atnity, exalted dehrtions aro the leading feature: There are rtatients exhibiting in countenance and manner a feeling of well being, ,a conviction that they were never better -in health, and never stronger, al though able to place food in their months on account of increasing iaralysis.

MARTYRS OP A FASHION. litUltima of Blvd* Slaughtered to Ornament the Usti of Faaldoirable Women', 'A reporter for the Mail and Express as. certained lateiy that fully a half a million iir4are imported in this min* in nsingte Month for tee purpose of Intim thetitten th • era toskicorate the Data which on -the' heads otwomen seem to,;the unsophisticated eye the Chief charm' of the (=tame. There are , about, half a dozen firms in this city whose average import of birds is a million,,a year. A well-known importer of feathers Said this morning that the great popularity Of birds' breasts for dicorating ladies' hats and, bon-. nets has made the feather business' one of the most profitable in the country.: "We can purchase," said he, " the feathers of the mat beautiful birds in Soitthern Europe for prices which to you would seem ridiculous. The only , expense we have are the custom Wage duties, whieh are very small:, The , ainofints we receive for a feather range from tw;lents to fifty dollars, and for breasts and ,wing's the same.. They come, to us in cases and are packed in salt. • " Yes, there is a fashion in leathers as well as a fashion of feathers. A few -years ago the long ostrich plumes were :Ea a pre mium and sold for almost fabulous prices ; now they are•comparatively cheap, although an exceptionally fine_ 'feather will always bring its value. Fashion now prescribes a multitude of smalyeathers, giving the effect in trimming of thn entire plumage. It thus that we utilize the The South American humming-bird, than which there is nothing more beautiful on earth, is the favorite. Oise tiny bird will bring us from $5 to $lO. 'Besides these there are the tou cans, the ariicaris, thrashes, ravens, wrens,- larks, alectors, curassows and _bluebirds. They all are killed for the same purpose— that of adorning women. In South z .and ; Central America the birds are usually shot by the natives and are purchased by our agents. In this case we.-are cOMpelled to prepare them for the market ouragves. "The manner in which we make them. marketable is very peculiar—too peculiar ,in fact for you to publish, because it is the se. scret of our trade. We are moio careful in dressing the American birds than they are in Europe, and in consequence there is some difference in price. A South American humming-bird' dressed in Jersey City 'is more valuable than a pheasant from Algiers. In this city we employ women to do all the work attending the dressing for market., It is sometimes with considerable difficulty that we can emt a sufficient number of girls to, rin the work, ler it is rot of - the pleasantest, and the smell from the birds is not 'particularly sweet.— It requires also ri - velry delicate sense of feeling to flay them. The flesh and skin are so close, together in a male bird that sometimes the most expert taxidermist de. stroys a really valuable specimen by not pay ing the proper attention to ' the strength (of the skin's resistance. - "Then ; there is also the cleaning of the feathers.%* we get the birds they are yeti often clotted with blood that•has dried ; upon theii plutoage after they have been killed. It requires the greatest care to remove these blood-stains without damaging the coler of the feather. I suppose you understand that the plumage of the most brilliantly-colored bird fades very easily and' quickly after its death. It is because of this that the fashion of dark shades has received so• much en couragement from us."—New York Nat and Express. • . SIX KICKING .MULE. AN Occurrence In Guateinals Folly Report ed by an Energetic Journalist In Oregon. A Btandard reporter yesterday heard the following story from the lips of , a well-known 'Adieu " While in GEtteraala recently 1 wai traveling from Esquinthi to the capithl city over one of the most rugged and villain ous roads to be found prebably the • wide world over. On neariog4he summit of a high range of hills, where a turn the road revealed an immenitniiiine or chasm some five hundred . feet deep, I overtook a Mexi-, can riding a mule, with a string of five more attached to the leader.' The custom of lead ing mules in that Country is as follows : Their tails are tied in knots, with a bunch ofni grass or cor talk leaves fastened to each -as a bait. A strip of cowhide is firmly tied from the tail of the leading mule around the neck of the one following, and so on to the last. The rider. mounts the leader and - ur ges him on by a vigorous application of whip and spur, the baited tails enticing the cast to follow. "The leading mule stumbling over a boulder, the rider commenced to yell, whip and spur. This unlcioked - for indignity made the mule lash out, reaching the head of No. 2 with a terrific whack. He, aroused •and insulted, did likewise, • with: like result to No. 3, who 'followed suit on to' No. 4. Ditto. from 4 to 5 and 6 to 6, who, being last, had to kick at vacancy. Here there were six mules all kicking behind,• as mules never kicked before. The Mexican swore,. spurred and whipped to his utmost. 'lt was soon evident they were . backing . down the hill with the sheer force of kicking. It was the most ludicrous sight I ever saw. I ex pected every moment something would give way, but rider, mules, tails and cowhide held together. "At last the edge of the precipice was reached by the bind mule, who tumbled Over, dragging the next after i him—still kicking. He pulled the one preceding over, still kicking, and so on until ,the Ark was reached—all still kicking. Look4g down the ravine, I could dimly discern ' the mass of mubmity all in a heap, still kicking, and, for aught:l know, are still kicking there to this day, as a'Guateicuda mule never tires Of kieking."—Portland /Standard.
