HANS AND TIE DocToR. The following
is one Of Ned Buntline's stories In the
Golden Era:
Everybody about Timhuctoo, up in Yu>
ba county, knows Hans Himmeltansen, or,
as he is usually called Dutch John, q
good hearted j1yial Teuton, once well of,
but now reduced to the position OF Fiume
Guard
Hans goes out hunting once in while.
He went after ducks not long since. I GU
cant get him to go after them again. The
reason is this. Some OF the boys played
him trick. They got couple of wooden
decoy ducks, and fastened them with a
string in the edge OF some bushes In lit
tie pond near the town, where they cou d
be seen as the wind waited them cut the
length of the string.
Hans was told that a couple of wild
ducks were in the pond, and hurrying to
his head quarters he got his gun, loaded 4:
heavily. and crept down within range OF
the ducks.
Taking good aim, he fred, and the ducks
were sent with rush back into the bushes
by the shot.
Hans thought, Of course, he had killed
them, but stopped to load, in case they
blowing through the bushes pretty sharp,
blew them out on the water to length OF
the string again.

said Hans, in astonishmen.. Now dey
schwi-ls out like as dey were never shot
with a gun, not at all! Duuder [ makes

And again he took deliberate aim, and
let fly
The force Of the shot instantly drove the
ducks in out of sight again, and Hans
dropped his gun To go after them. But,

establishment that the ducks were swini>

The ducks. He fired, and went end over

not a duck was in sight.

The Fcrce Of Circumstances.

That the best of men and women are of
ten led into trouble by the force of u train
Of unavoidable circumstances, was never
better ezamplltied than Ia the ease OF two
young men and young miss who were ar
raigued at the Police Court yesterday up,
a charge of being inmates of house OF
ill-fa,ne 1t appears that the young lady,
whose name is Augusta, hired out IN the
capacity OF servant girl to the keeper OF a
bagni0, whose establishment was under The
surveillance OF the police She was en-
tirely innocent Of the nature OF the place,
hose location pleased her, since she could
be near her sister, who resided In the
neiehborho0I.
Augusta was betrothed to a young man
employed III sailing upon the lakes. A
day or two after she had removed to her
new home he returned from trip and
while engaged in friendly chat with some
friends In a South Side saloon, was inform
ed that She had become an Inmate Of u
house of ili-iame His astoBishment can
better b. imagined than described. Con.
fidenc that their must be some mistake in
the matter, he, in company with an lnl
mate friend, visited the nagnlO last Tues
day evening, fer The purpose OF informing
himself ofthc truth or iaislty Of the report.
Calling her out upOn the sidewalk, the
anxious lover asked her il she was aware
If the reputation Of the house III which
she was employed She replied that her
suspicious had been aroused on the prevl
Gus day, and remarked that she had con
uded to leave the premises Us soon as
possible. " hile they were engaged IN con-
versatlCn, the woman of the house came
10 the door and informed Augusta, that
she would allow no conversation on the side
walk, advising her to cali her company IN
to house. This she did, the young men
following her into the kitchen.
The policemen, thinking that their hour
had come, made raid npon the premises,
and arrested the proprIetoTs, as we'll as the
young men and Augusta, who were en-
gagged in conversation In the kitchen. The
young men and Miss appeared IN court yes
terday, to answer to charge of being ln>
mates Of house Of Ill fame. Their down
cast looks gave evidence that they were
greatly Illuminated by the dlsgraceiul
charge After the examination Of NUN
ter Of witnesses, the city Attorney entered
a nolie pr9sequi, being fully convinced of
the innocence of the parties. They left

tainty OF human affairs, aud with lively
sense OF the Importance OF being Surround

respects was liberal enough, and triumph
antly demands which OF these PROPOSE

necessarily imply all abandonment OF belief
In opinions previously held but which The
Irresistible logic Of events has permanently

erroneous one, but with a sensible man it

action is based His opinions OF the merits
OF his case is the same as ever but his ac-
ton based upon results is something dit

the use Of kicking against it? Why not &C

Writing fer the Prest.

Have our readers any idea how much
writing it takes to fill every column
they look over ? This, OF course varies in
different sheets, ind each paper varies &C
cording to the type Ii is moderate
work comparatively to write column Tor
the New y ork Tribune in the large type
that paper usually employs. Ten pages
of square letter paper, the large kind,
written in small mercantile, or clear femi
nine hand, will average column To
write this, with materials collected and
clear in ones head, occupies an ordinary
press writer from two to three hours. 4
clever one will dash of hat amount in an
hour or much. Jess. 1t is a fact that the
fastest writer's show fewest erasures in
their copy" which is the printers term
for manuscript to be set in type, by no
means signfying that one word of the
matter has been re written. The New
York World fay0rs its best writer's by set
ting their articles in BREWER or large type
which easily fills column but the ordi
nary type requires close work to make cut
column article, and | don't believe any
one ever counted tie number Of pages it
takes fora column of paragraphs such as
appear in every morning issue. The para
graphists" usually sit down TO their work
and usually keep at it a. long as their
brains last, several days in a week, but It
is not on record that any one gentleman
ever found at the close Of the week, that
he had achieved more than one column of
these fine type morcpaux. The New York
Times j. the decdiest newspaper to It's
corps Of contributors. The sight of its
long closely filed sheets, printed in that
clear, rcm0rSeIess type that aSsImllates
copy as an elephant would celery, the solid
paragraphs running three sticks apiece,
casts a gloom over the press writers
mind, something ike that Of IN early
grave Men have to work Ike draymen
70 write those fine pages and that long
correspondence. It's easy work writing
for the Telegram which has such large
type that writers have scarcely room to say
what they wish in the staple article Ct
half a column. No wonder the writers,
as the editor says, never resign but only
die
In the weekly papers five square pages
usually fill a column Of BREWER, or large
type. Seven pages answer for that amount
of minion type, tie next in size. Five
pages of manuscript is the measure for
column in Harpers Buzaar, or the Weekly.
Twice as much must be alloEcd if note
paper is used. Tie agricultural papers
and the religious ones have about the same
limits. SO people who think to assay
newspaper writ z know nearly what they
have to do of purely mcdaniel labor, for
such it is when the idea is once clearly
fixed in ones head.

4 Determined Suicide A Little Prelim
mary Conversation.

Some two or three weeks ago, or more,
Patrick Purcell was seated on the track Of
tie Mount Carbon Railroad, overlooking
the turbid waters of the Mississippi. He
had been seated there but a few moments
when along came Matthias Schaefer, a Ger
man resident Of the place, who accosted
Pat III .hi, wise:
Mr. Purcell, I've a notion to drown
myself
Wei, if you went to drown Yourself,
cooly replied Pat, why don tyou go along
and do it?
III you don't come, reioined Schaeler,
III do it sure-you had better come say
ing which he proceeded to the edge CT the
water
Go on with the show was the answer,
it's none of my funeral.
Come quick il you are coming, ] tell
you again you'd better come was Schae>
fer's finaI appeal TO the impurturbable Pat
who maintained his seat on the railroad
track.
Proceed with your exhibition, came
from Pat again, whereupon the determined
Schacfer waded out into the stream, sat
down aud actually drowned himself
Pat mentioned the circumstance to a
passer by a lew moments after. and when
re proved for not rushing in and rescuing
the foolish man, retorted with some spirit,
that if he wanted to drown himself it would
go pretty hard with any man that might
attempt to interfere with his arrangements!
Aud so the matter dropped.
The BODY of Schaefer was taken out as
soon as possible, but too late to attempt
resusicitatlon with any hope Of success So
Ii was quietly put away IN the ground on
the margin Of the stream within whose
waters the life left it.

"the Canadians are actually agitating the
subject OF annexation to the United States,
\ meeting Tor the consideration of the
subject was held in Quebec recently, and
speeches were made by several prominent
men, all advocating annexation of the do
mnion ODe Of the speakers declared that
the commerce of their cities vas languish-
ing, and that farmers were daily leaving
Canaaa for the United States, and that
now there was 250, 900 Canadians in the
United States; that these were happy and
prosperous, while their c0untrymt n at

said that the trade of the Dominion with
the States for Elk months was $50, 900, 900
while with England Tor eighteen months 1t
was but $50, 600, 900. The whole tone OF
the meeting was that the true interests of
the country would be subserqed by annex
