A gentleman from the lower country
whore grizzly bears help the herders 10
10 take caro- of sheep, relates q curious
adventure which occurred TO an Indian
Aerdsman in his employ. lie sent tho
IMAM to distant portion Of large
rancho to look after . heard of sheep.
The Indian at nightfaIl got und r shed
with roof of branches, but open on all
sides, lay down on his blankets. After q
few honrs sieep-4,c seas awakened by
feeling tho hot breath of some animal
on his face. He moved his arms, and at
once understood the situation-a huge
bear was snuffing him. The man, With
great presence of mind, determined to
S..r rArfcctly still, for nc knew if he
moved or cried out, one blow Of those
hugo paws would break his skull like n
walnut Bruin snatched off his blank
cts and seized tho Indian by the leg.
ThOagh suffering terribly, tho brave fel-
low did not allow groan or cry to es-
cape him. The bear dragged him from
tho hut for some distance, aud then
commenced to dig hole to lay
tho Indian in and cover him up from
the coyotes. After the grave had been
dug deep enough, the bear (contenting
himself with about a pound Of flesh
from his victims thigh moved the body
to the hole and covered it up. The In
dian managed to keep the earth over his
face loose enough to allow him to breathe
and when the boar retired, he crawled
out toward the mustang, which was
pickcted some yards outside the hut.
With great difficulty he mounted, and
then rode toward the rancho house. A
doctor was then sent for, and pronounc-
cd the wounds, though severe and pain
full, not likely to prove fatal. The next
day q hunt was organized; and the
grizzly was killed in the ncighborhood
Of the spot where he had slowed away
his intended meal.

Some fifty years ago, one Lee, man.
ager of the Edinburg Theater, with q
view Of improving the thunder OF his
stage, yentured upon Q return to the
Efssabethan system Of representing q
storm. His enterprise was attended
with results at once ludicrous and disa-
tnous. He placed lodges here and there
along the back Of the stage, and, abtain-
ing 4 parcel of nine pound cannon balls,
packed these on u wheclbarrOw, which
the carpenter was instructed to wheel TO
and fro over lodges. The play was
NLear," and the jolting Of the heavy
barrow, as it was trundlcd along the I'M
even path over the hollow stage, and the
rambiings and rcverberations thus pro-
duced counterfeitcd most effectively the
raging of the tempest in the third act.
Unfortunately, however while the king
was Drawing, in front of the scene, the
pitiless storm at the back, the carpenter
missing his f. citing, tripped over one Of
che hedges and fell, wbeelbarrow cannon
balls and oil. The stage being on de-
clivity, the cannon balls came rolling
n,idiy and noisily down toward the
front, gathering force as they advanced,
and, overcoming the feeble resistance Of
tered by the scene, struck it down, pass
ed over II, prostrate form, and made
their way toward the foot lights and the
iidlers, amid the amusement and won
der Of the audience, and the amazement
and alarm Of the Lear of the night. As
the. ninc-pounders advanced toward
lin, and rolled about in all directions,
he was compelled to display an activity
in avoiding them singularly inapproate
TO the age and condition Of the charac-
fer be was persona,ing. He was even
said to resemble a dancer achieving tho
terpsichorean feat known as the egg
hornpipc. Presently, too, tho musicians
became alarmed far the saietyOf them
selves and their instruments, and deem
Cd it advisable to scale the spiked parti
ton which divided them from tho pit,
for the cannon balls were upon them,
smashing the lamps and falling heavily
into the orchestra. Meanwhile, exposed
TO the full gaze Of tho house, lay prone
beside his empty barrow, tho carpenter,
the innocent, provoher Of the storm he
had been unable to alIay or direct, not
ut all hurt, but exceedingly frightened
and bcwildercd. After the unlucky OK
pertinent the manager abandoned the
and cannon balls, and re-
vertcd to moro received meth
ods Of producing stage storms. !

into the silky masses. "And these, are
they false?" adds she, pressing his fingers
to her teeth. "Will you answer, sir? are
they falses" "No," cries NJ. Tartine, 81

"Well, then, sit down here and write a
handsome apology, to be printed this very
day." SAYS the actress, as she begins to do
up her hair half-laughing, half angry; and
seeing NJ. Tartine sit down, she adds with
coaxing peremptoriness: And, look
here; you can point out what a curmud-
geon my manager is in giving me such a
small salary, and warn him that the Rus
SLAMS will be bidding for me, or the En-
glish, and winning me, too, if he is not
more liberal"
The next day the editor returns, and
going down to the Office NJ. Tartine finds
him pale, but evidently resigned. A writ
has Just been brought in from the Gov
ernor of Paris interdicting the sale of the
Cigdre in the public streets in consequence

Notice of an action for libel has just been

and the Cigore has been accused of venality
by three morning papers because of

Become True Men and True Women.

Boys ant Girls. On you will soon rest
the work and responsibilities of men and
women. Before long you will be the
movers of society, the workers for hui
mainly, and the rulers of the nation.
Every boy should aim to reach true man
hood. Every girl should aim to reach
true womanhoOd. Not that You should
try to act like men and women now.
Hold on to your youth. 1t is sad to see
girls aping young ladyhood and boys try
ing to be manish But educate and pre-
pare yourselves to become true men and
true women.
You have bodies, minds and souls to
care for and educate. First, acquire a
strong constitutions; grow up as God
wants you to-strong, healthy, full of
life and endurance, supplemented, and
good for eighty years of activity. ENer-
else in the open air; action is the law of
the body; every nerve and muscle must
be used to he healthful. Play in the sun
shine; God approves healthy, hearty amuse-
ments Keep yourselves clean; eat plain,
nourishing food; go to bed carly-you
need nine hours sleep every night while
growing. Manage someway to subs cribe
for health,journal, and read it carefully.
Ii will teach you how to live, to eat and
to sleep. Girls, to be healthful, beautiful
women, dress warmly, exercise, and have
plenty Of brsothing-room. Boys, to be use
full, long lived men, you must let tobacco
alone. 1t Injuries the system, the eye-sight,
hearing and circulation; it leads to Ii
quor drinking, and is an expensive, use
less, filthy habit.
