Have you ever seen Jone.9

1t was only two days ago Jones was ipjudi-
ciously full. Being painfully aware of bis in
ebrety, he endeavored to conceal it from the
public by buttoning his coat up very closely,
imparting an abnormal stiffness to his knees,
ana tripping over his own heels. He stalked
up to a street car, walked Driskly in, just as
the horse started forward-and instantly
tumbled out again backward without unbend-
ing a muscle. Straightway he recovered the
upright, splashed with mud, and re-entered,
seating himself beside an acq laintance, max
ing no sign OF his mishap. Presently he turn
ed to this individual md queried ~
'Klizshn P?
"yo."
He considered moment, and then again
asked:
''Offthetrack ?'
.'No."
More refection-sleepily, theu:
"Runoverap; espice?"
'Splozhn? ?"
"No."
Somnolent cogitation.
ANY acc'dnt?'

He took this piece Of information into bis
intellectual nav, aud, digesting it, concIud-
ed shat he must be very drunk indeed. Anx-
ious to cover up the dsgraceful ia It, and turn
the matter off respectfully, he shortly turned
again, with the bland observation, %

He bl'nked off into an unconsciou, state In
a little while. then "woke up with bis ewes
very wide open, to show everybody that he'd
only been thinking. He rode on about a
mile beyond his secret, and was finally taken
home in hack.

WILLING TO HELP MI, O'Clarepcs
aided Mrs. O'Clarence in the domestic ar
rangements for Thanksgiving by chopping
mnce meat and the turkey stufing. There
was enough of each of these delicacie., Mr..
OClarence thought, to supply hospital.
When he got them ready he signifed fur
ther willingness to aid her, but she, busy
elsewhere, gratefully acknowledged the kind
ness, but declined further help. But when
man feels his heart overfowing with love TO-
wards his lite partner, he does not stop in
any effort for her help. Mr.. O'Clarence i'm
mediately poured the two into one, and deft-
ly mixed them together with long-handled
spoon. Then he went down street. the end
CT his nose fairly shining with good inten-
tions towards everybody. 1t was near night
when Mrs. OClarence made the horrid dis
covery that the mince-meat and the turkey
stuffing-a half bushel in al-were locked in
each others embrace. All the work had 10
be doEe over again, but Mr.. OClarence did
not participate. He was beguiled into the
cellar and there tied to a beam until the in
gradients were secured against tampering
with. He says that 1t is plain to be seen
that there is an impression in the family that
he is responsible for the trouble.

Society Intelligence.

Next to @ press noser for news or nastiness, we bet on @ man who regards himself as entirely sure of the kingdom of heaven and spends much of his time in weeping because of his certainty that so many men and women are capering merrily on the road to perdition, as one who will find out and dish up the kitchen, parlor, bedroom and other similar "news ]" in plain but attractive style.
 Our exemplary friend and mission ary, Rev. G. A. Reeder, recently visited Cachise' reservation and there after considerably gave some of his choice observations to the press. Fol lowing is a reference to the women on the Chiricahua, to which we fear the ladies on other reservations may take exception, notwithstanding the good mans fearful apprehensions."
 As for their women, they excel every tribe have seen in Arizona in tastiness of attire, not excepting the Papagoes. They use needle quite we'll; many having neat dresses with flounce, and other ornamental work. Yet it must be presumed that they are quite as expert in making tizwin," as in dress-making; and the freedom with which all use it, am free to acknowledge look upon with fearful apprehensions. There is degree of chastity among them which is unexcelled. It is also stated, of fciallly, that there is not 8 case of " venereal" in the tribe.

Publications Received.

"Men and Memories of San Francisco in the Spring of '5O," is the title of a neatly printed book by A. L. Bancroft & Co.,, to whom we are indebted for copy. It consists of 296 pages of interesting mat ter prepared by Barry & Patsen-two gen. tlemen eminently qualified to treat of the subjects embraced in the title, they having been on the ground at the time and partic ipants in tho acts and with nearly all the men of whom they speak. Many of our readers were more or less familiar with the men and occurrences referred to, and to them the book is peculiarly interesting, and nearly every one will be amused and informed by perusal of it. The publish CTS advise us that Lord & Williams and M. I. Jacobs & Co. have it for sale.
 The Overland Monthly for July is also on our table. It is the first number of the eleventh volume and is fully up to the standard of that popular periodical. Of practical articles referring to the far West we note "Scraps of Modoc History |" Hetch- Hetchy Valley" called the Lower Tuolumne Yosemite, by John Muir "King Solomon's Footprints" by Therese Yelver- ton; "Our Relations with Mexico," timely contribution "Borax Deposits on the Pacific Coast;" and vivid account of the Lepers of Molokai," by Charles W. Stoddard. "Ju stifable Fiction" is a char acteristic little sketch by Prentice Mulford. In light reading we have the closing part of "An Old Fool," "My Grandmother's Legacy" and The Mountain Posy." Bret Harte's sister is represented by touching little poem entitled {" As One." Altogether creditable number. $4 per annum. J. H. Germany G Co.,, Publishers, 4O9 Wash ington St. San Francisco.
 We are indebted to Robert H. Lanborn, vice president of the Denver and Rio Grande Railway, for the first annual report of the company. It contains large amount of practical information regarding the country along the line of the road. and especially answers many objections urged against narrow-guage roads; also contains a map of Mexico, showing the railway sys- tenn of that country and connections of the D.
