ONLY FIT FOR TIE LAw.-An old
lady walked into lawyers Office late
iy, when the following conversation
took place:
Lady-Squirc, I called to sec if you
would like to take this boy and make
lawyer of him.
Lawyer-Thc boy appears to be ra-
ther young madam; how old is he?
Lady-Scvcn years, sir.
Lawyer-IIc is too young, decidedly
too young; have you no older boys?
Lady-Oh. yes, have several,
but We have concluded to make far
mers of the others. | told the old
man thought this little fellow would
make first rate lawyer, SO called to
see if you would take him.
Lawyer-No madam; he is too
young yet to commence the study of
the profession. But why do you think
this boy better calculated for lawyer
than your other sons.
Lady-Why, you see: sir: hcis just
seven years old to-day. When he
was only five, he'd lie like all natur' :;
when he rot to be six, he was saussy
and impudent as any crittcr could be,
and now he'll steal everything he can
lay hands on.

WHO IS GUILTY?

"rhe man waits outside" said
Mr.. Spencer Fenton's servant, as
he stepped in front Of the low Of:
flee table, piled with books and
law papers.
Mr.. Fenton's servant was man
Of penetration, and knew where
to draw the dividing line between
the commonplace ''man" and the
higher order Of being known as
the "sentlemen.'
"Iet him come in," said Mr..
Fenton, qui~Jly, as he took q pis-
tol from . drawer, laid it on the
table and dropped newspaper
over 1t.
Mr.. Fenton was alawyer in good
practice in u large city, and was
known as widely among the class
of customers for whom he prac-
ticed as q celebrated lawyer OF
"Great Expectation" and fame.
The man was admitted, and
proved to be sullen-looking,
british parsonage.
Mr.. Fcnton looked once at this
square. iawcd savage face, and
Judged his man.
"You may 50, John," he said to
his servant.
"Tallc an hour or two for your
self, if you like"
John went oat, and the lawyer
then took seat at the table op-
posite his client, looking ut nm
sternly.
"Now, my man." he said quietly,
"we are together, and | want to
know exactly how this matter
stands"
I'm going to tell you how 1t
stands, honest Injun, l am
Very we'll. Now, as to this
bank robbery. You say that you
can give intormation--tor 4 con-
sileration, OF course.
"For five hundred dollars.

The PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.-
At last we hear something def
mite Of the plan and purposes Of
the mysterious "Order of Husband
ry" that has so suddenly become .
power in the West. It is q secret,
cooperative, industrial, beneficial,
and literary institution, with va
rious rites borrowed from the secret
societies. Apparently it has no.
thing do with politics. Men and
women arc alike admitted. but
the latter are limited to the fourth
degree. The members Of the first
degree are designated respectively
as Laborer and Maid IN the second
degree as Cultivator and Shcp-
hcrdess; in the third degree as
Harvester and Cleaner, and in tho
fourth degree as Husbandman
and Matron. The memk kcrship
Of the organization at this time is
estimated at 100000, and if does
60 into politics, it will certainly
be powerful influence.

LOVE tsY WIRE.
ROMANTIC MARRIAGE OF TELE-
GRAPH OPERATORS.

The report Of Mr.. Scudamorc,
the director Of Postal Tclcgraphs
III Great Britain, contains a 70
nance Of the most original descrip-
ton. After saying how Success
ful he has found the system Of en-
pIoylng male and females clerk TO-
gcthrr, and how much the tone Of
men has been ralscl by the asSo-
ciation, ana how well the women
perform the checking or fault
finding branches OF the work, he
goes on to speak Of Friendships
formed between clerks at either
end Of L telegraph wire. They be-
gin by chattingati intervals Of their
work. and very soon become fast
friends. 1T is I fact" continues
Scudamore, "that 4 telegraph
clerk iii London: who was engaged
on wire to Berlin, formed an ac-
quaintance with, and an attach
mcnt for,-mark the officials style
Of the language-"a female clerk
who worked on the same wire IL

marriage to her, and that She ac-
ccptcd him without having ever
seen him. They were married.
and the marriage; which resulted
from the electric atiinitieS, is sup
posed 10 have turned out rs we'll
as those in which the senses are
more apparently concerned" Nor
must the prudent reader run away
with idea that these young per
sons were very rash, or that they
married without due acquaintance.
For it is fact that q clerk at one
end ofa wire can readily tell by
the way in which the clerk at the
other end does his work "whethcr
he is passionate or sulky, cheer
tul Or dull, sanguinc OF phlcgma-
tic, ill-natured or good-natured."

A THRILLING GADyENTURE.-Thc

A THRILLING ADvENTURE.-Thc
following is from q California pa
per: Nillic Coyan: aged about ten
years, and daughter of George NJ.
Coyan, general manager Of all the
mines in and about Lost Camp.
was assisting some Of her younger
sisters over the sluice boxes, in
the mine known as Woods Ra.
vine, when she missed her footing
and tell into the boxes, through
which was running at the time
about five hundred inches Of wa
ter. She was swept for i distance
Of sixteen hundred feet through
the sluiccs as though she had been
4 feather. 1t appears that she
passed through the boxes in .
sitting position, and during her
terrible race tried repeatedly to
rescue herself from what in nine
ty nine cases out Of one hundred
would have proved fatal to she
strongest man. Even while going
at the rate Of q railroad train the
exhibited presence Of mind enough
to let her head fall back in the
water, to escape 4 piece Of wood
that is nailed over the boxes. and
against which: but for the prccau-
tion taken, her brains would GER
tainly have been dashed out. Afte.
beingc arrieda 4 distance Of 900 feet,
she was washed over a "dump" -
feet high, falling into another
sluice-boN. 700 feet long. Passing
through the latter, she was swept
over another "dump," 20fect high,
falling among rough Jagged rocks.
Here she managed to crawl out q
few feet from under the heavy
body Of falling water, and was
shortly after rescued by Mr.. Bart
lett, foreman of the mine. 1t was
found that she sustained severe in.
jurics on theleft knee, hip and side.
Her face was also scratched and
swelled. but fortunately neither
will permanently disfgure her.

the biggest book in the world. 1t
is now in process Of manufacture
in Paris, and will contain the
names of all inhabitants Of Alsace
and Lorraine who have formally
proclaimed their wish to remain
French subjects. The list is said
to comprise 100000. One hundred
and twenty-five compositors have
been employed on the work dur.
ing the last three months, it is
printing on seven presses, and the
volume will include l3, i63 PIP. A
valuable work, no doubt, but not
one which we would wish TO read

From the Central City (Coorado) Coach.
A TERRIBLE BOAT RIDE.
SHOOTING RAPIDS-0NE HUNDRED
AND FORTY MILES IN TWO HOURS.


AND FORTY MILES IN TWO HOURS.
Clear creek is a miniature river
that runs through the canon Of
the same name. 1t descends upon
4 down grade Of four hundred feet
per mile, with here and there .
fall over q rocky precipice fifteen
or twenty feet in height. Large
bouldcrs, forty and fifty feet in
diameter, and Weighing thousands
oftons impede it's dashing progress
every two or three hundred yards,
while its curves are SO sharp and
so frequent that the stream can
nowhere be seen for q distance of q
thousand feet. Granite cliffs, two or
three miles high, project over it
on either side, and give a frightful,
romantic and dangerous appear
;.nco to the rushing torrent be-
meath.
Just below Black Hawk, on the
side Of the strcam,a a small reservoir
has been constructed in which is
kept an ordinary sliiff. Last Sunday
two little sons of Martin +. Walk
er, aged respectively ten and
twelve years, got into the boat,
and were splashing the water with
4 stick, when the tastenings gave
way and the boat went drifting
towards the rapidly running cur
rent. The little boys soon dis
covered their danger, but were
powcrlcss to avert it; so they
clutchcd hold of the side Of the
boat, and with pallid countcnances
awaited their doom. Soon the
boat was caught by the current and
began descending at Il fearful rate.
Over Black Hawk rapids they
went like an arrow, clearing a
distance Of sixty feet at a single
dash. Lighting again on the tor
rent surface, the boat seemed TO
have gained q new impetus, and
shot by the boulders and around
the rocky points with the CELEBRITY
Of a sunbeam.
At a distance Of about six miles
below the starting point, Conduc-
tor Gibbons, who was standing on
the rear Platform Of the down G..
C. train, saw the boat coming and
Immediately stopped the train.
All hands repaired to the waters

CURIOUS ANTIPATNIES.

1t SEEM certain that, in some
cases, the dislike to particular OBJ
jects, and even sounds, which we
arc wont to ascribe to affectation,
are very genuine and deep.scared.
A certain clergyman, We are So
berly informed, always tainted
when he heard a particular verse
in Jeremiah read; and another case
was even still more unfortunate,
being that of an officer who could
not stand the beating of a drum
and eventually died Of it; one man
would fail down at the smell of
mutton, as though deprived Of life:
another could not eat q single
strawberry, and anothers' head be-
came frightfulIy swollen if be
touched the smallest particale Of
hare. ,OrfIa speaks Of a painter:
named Vincent who was seized
with vertigo Whenever there were
roses in the room. Hippocratcs
instances one Nicanor who swoon-
cd whenever he heard tho flute.
Boyle himsclf,in spite Of his philo-
sophy, fell into syncope whenever
he heard the splashing Of water.
The Duke d'Epcrnay swooned at
seeing a levcrct, though hare
took no effect upon him, which is
as much as to say that he was
frightened at u pony, but not at a
horse. Tycho Brahe tainted at
the sight Of a fox, Henry III. at 4
cat, and Marshal d'Albret at q pig.

SINGLE BEDs.-Thc large double
bed, which has held it's own for
centuries, is fast falling into dis
favor, to be superseded by the
single bed. The fact is pretty
vel! established that wherever
two persons sleep together, one
abstracts from the other some
amount Of vital force. This is
especially the case where old and
young persons share the same
bed. Besides, in a room where
there is no decided current Of air,
the emanations from the lungs
and skin ola sleeper poisons the
atmosphere for 4 considerable dis
tancc. In the public wards OF
great hospitals, never less than
two and half feet is allowed be-
tween each bed for this reason.
In the sleeping apartments OF
royalty and nobility single beds
are everywhere the rule, and nc
exception. The Emperor of Ger
many sleeps upon q narrow bed
and hard mattress. The single bed
covering is a waddcd silk quilt
The Emperor and Empress ot
Austria take their royal sIumbers
on similar beds, with the same
description Of coverlet. One o.
the principal advantages Of these
barrow beds is that the mattresses
are easily aired, and that, in tho
opinion Of all housewives, mus
be u very important consideration

WHAT NEXT:

\ New York correspondent who
has had the pleasure of seeing the
latest style of French made dresses,
cScIaim<: "no waists: no corsets: no
gloves ~ lie describes the fashion
as follows:
The latest ErcnclI-male dresses are
no more; they arc mere drapings with
the l.artully low neckS, absence ofall
sleeves. strap goin= over the naked
shoulder. joining the dress at the
>m.;:ll Of the back and the pit Of the
s;oN.ach. The skirt is strangely and
"'@d"rful hung. 1t caps and fold; it
is caught high at the hip, or in the
back: and is shaped tightly about the
entire iisurc. From beneath this drap-
cry streams Gut 4 two-yarl train. Ont
door COSTUMES "rc made. as far as the
drapcry Is c"mc2rmed. in the same style.
These fashions demand revolving pc
dcStais and what dancers turn the
''>loW movements" No dress of this
kind could be taken on its owners
back in 4 hurry anywhere. Ofcoursc
corscts, and a good many other articles
Of underwear hitherto deemed indiSpen-
sable, will have to be taken off for the
''Empirc" waist. At very swell
wedding reception lately the high-ton-
ed bellies held their arms like trusscd
fowls, to prevent the silk and lace sus-
penders that did duty as dress-wai>ts,
from falling off their shoulders. The
same bridal party were, TO the number
Of q dozen: photographed, and if l
were to send a copy up to Connecticut
I'd not only be prayed for in the
churches as one lost. but I'd be liable
to indictment for sending indecent
pictures by mail. No gloves. That's
dreadful for nice looks. No corscts
That's bad for comfort; and no waists
to our dresses. and that's going to be
cool for summer: if it possesses no
other decided advantage
