with tL. action of Chief OCOnnOr and
some of the statements that have appeared
in the papers. They say they were not in
the way of the other engines, for there
were none there. That they told the chief
they would move as soon as an engine
came They were first at the fire and doing
their best to put it out. When the chief told
them % move they did move. They were
one hundred yards from the fire when two
of their men were arrested and the machine
taken t. the pound.
They further say they have never asked
the association for five cents. They have
offered the association $4,000 bonds for
the good behavior OF their members.
AS ar earnest OF what intention they
have Of maintaining their rights, they have
peti,oued Judge Hawkins tor an inJunc'

The petition acts forth that the com.

its objec, is the extinguishment OF

confined to the ninth fire ward,

and the engines of the association can
work with little advantage; that the asso.

True Heroism.

A Boston correspondent, who was
present, thus describes rare instance
OF true bravery which occurred on board
OF the Cunard steamship Russia, on
her last voyage from New York to
Liverpool. At hslf-pest two o'clock
on the afternoon OF April 3d., one OF
the sailors, while reefng sails, made a
misstep and fell overheard. 1t was in
mid ocean, and the sea running very
high, but the sailors comrade, Joseph
Webb, instantly ran to the stern Of the
ship and leaped into the water. Life
buoys were thrown out, steam shut of,
and in less than three minutes a life
boat was launched, with the third off,
Ger ani O volunteer crew. The sailor
who fell overheard could not be found.
and must have sunk when he first
struck the water. After half.hour's
search Webb was picked up by the boat
and brought on board. A person on
shore can hardly comprehend the true
bravery which inspired this man to
leap into the high waves from steamer
running at the rate of fourteen knots.
He was the recipient OF handsome
purse from the passengers, and will
receive gold me1al from the Royal
Humane Society

Brain Worry.

To most OF US, says writer in the
London Times, it is not given to choose
our lives, TO avoid the rough places, to
gently shoulder to one side disagreea-
bic facts. We must climb over the
rough places though they hurt us sore,
and the difficulties, however they may
annoy us, must be met with brain fret
and wear until they are conquered, or
we have passed them. They are as
real, living, annoying as any tangible
ache or pain could be; as bruisiug and
irritating as the peas in the shoes OF
the pilgrims OF old. Nervous health is
one thing, and moral health and purely
physica! health is quite another and
different thing. Calm and steady mer-
tai work is conducive to long life; but
nervous emotion, mental work that IS q
constant urging, and, at the came time,
is an unhangipg of the even terror OF
the mind, eats away the brain faster
than any mental labor, no matter how
hard, that is systematic. As men do
Lot really die Of heart disease as often
as is supposed, but Of apoplexy or con-
gestion OF the lungs, 30 they do not die
Of brain work, but brain worry. Scott
died OF it. Southey, Swift, Horace
Greeley, and probably Thackeray.

Bret Har.e'a Literary Career


In 1864 be was appointed Secretary
Of the United States Branch Mint in
San Francisco, a position which, dur
ing the six years he helix it, gave him
time and opportunity for more careful
work than any which he had hereto
fore accomplished. During this time
some o. the most famous OF his poems
and sketches were written. John
Burns Of Gettysburg" "The Pliocene
Skull" "The Society upon the ssanis-
low" How are you, Sanitary and
other little unique gems Of verse were
written about THE time and first appear
ed (for the most part) anonymously in
the San Francisco newspapers. In
July, 1868, the publication Of The Over
land Monthly was begun, with Bret
Harte as its organizer and editor. The
success OF the magazine was immediate
and decided. We cannot tell how
much OF it's renown was owing to the
series OF remarkable stories which im-
mediately tegan to flow from the pen
of the accomplished editor, nor how
much to the rare talent which he seems
to have had in awaking the
dormant energies OF those who cons
stituted his royal staff OF contributors.
Tile Overland became ct once unique,
piquaut and highly desired element in
tue current literature of the Republic
and it found o multitude OF readers on
both sides of the Atlantic. In its pages
August 1865, appeared "The Luck Of
Roaring Camp" 8 story which, what
ever may be the merits OF those which
have succeeded it, gave Harte the first
Of his great fame as proee-wrlter.
But it was not until January OF the
next year that the stimulated appetite
of the impatient public was appeased
by the production OF "Tbe Outcasts Of
Poker Flat" q dramatic tale which
probably contains more firmly drawn
and distinct characters than have ap-
peared in any one OF Hsrte's stories or
sketches. "Miggles' came next and,
marshaled in their long array, the in
imitable personages who figure in still
later stories emerged from their sbad.
owy realm and passed into the Ian
guage and familiar acquaintance Of the
English speaking world.
Hsrte's poems are more thickly scat'
tered through his latter work in Cali
fornia than elsewhere. Some Of the
best known we're written between 1865
and 1870; "Plsin language from truth.
ful James" popularity quoted as the
"Heathen Chiuee;;" appeared in TIE
Overland OF September, 1870. A more
ambitious work, "The Lost Galleon."
was an earlier production, and gave t.
tie to thin volume of fugitive bits Of
verse publishe ed in San Francisco year
or two before. Harte's first book was
the Condsnsed Novels, collection Of
| wonderful limitations, top real to be
| called parodies, first printed in the

ASuecessful Expedition.
General Sheridan telegraphed to
General Sherman that Colonel For
sythe reports that he arrived at Ed
winton on the 9th Of May. and that the
expedition to Powder river, via the
Yellowstone was q complete success.
The steamer Kriwest, the second largest
steamer on the Missouri rlver, went up
to within miles of the month OF the
Powder river, and if he be had had
the proper appliances to have
taken out two loose rocks in the chan
mel at Key West falls, the last rapids
on the river, be could have gone up
at least eighty miles further. At high
water she could have gone over these
rocks with ease. At the time OF the
expedition it was up to the spring rise,
and the water was lower than at any
time previous for the last three years.
The Yellowstone is a better river to
navigate than the upper Mis-
souri. The object OF the expedition
was to find out whether supplies could
be transported in safety from Fort
Buford to the north Of the Powder river
where it is proposed to establish q Tor.
midable military post under the act OF
the late Congress sppropriating $780,.
900 for to establish two additional mill
itary posts to aid in protecting work.
men on the survey and construction OF
the Northern Pacific Railroad.
The success Of the expedition
will prove OF the greatest benefit
to the War Department. They can
now carry supplies up the Missouri
river to Fort Buford, aud thence up Yels
lowstone to the new port at the mouth
of Powder river by steamer. and thus
avoid hauling them three hundred
miles, through q country occupied by a
lawless band OF Sioux Indians.
