such proof eau bo produced. City tax salos, and
all proceedings regarding them, wero carried out
ut tho instance aud under tho control of tho COL

WHERE DID THE RICH MAN GO.

Little Johnny was preparing for Sunday
school, situated some distance away, when
his mother saw one Of her neighbors az
preaching in his vehicle. This neighbor,
by the way, was called the Rich Man, be-
ing both wealthy, kind-hearted, and liberal
to the poor. Johnny ran out and the rich
man took him into bis vehicle, as he was
going right past the Sunday school. 1t was
very hot day and so Johnny took off his
shoes and stockings to keep himself cool.
When they arrived the exercises had al
ready begun, and as the man was going TO
church about q mile beyond, and he agreed
10 call for Johnny on his return, be conclud-
ed not to put on his shoes and stockings
again, but leave them in the vehicle. So he
tripped lightly into school and the man
drove away toward church.
His teacher was just hearing the lesson,
which, by the by, Johnny was not acquain
ted with, which was the fate of the rich
man and Lazir Soon after Johnny
took bis seat, it came to his turn to answer
a question.
"Johnny, can you tell me where the rich
man VENT"
she went TO the Baptist meeting" repli-
ed the little lad, thinking only Of his late
companion.
mo, no, my son, the rich man went to
he'll" said The teacher, with great impress
iveness, while the other scholars were litter
ing with laughter.
"Did he?" exclaimed the lad, in all hon.
esty. "Then ne has taken my shoes and
stockings with him." aud up he jumped,
and seizing his hat, he put out of the school
room and down the road, to overtake the
rich man, and recover his property.

AREAL ROMANCE.

A plot fora yellow back novel was re-
! Gently laid in Denver, Colorado. Though
| the hero was an unwilling ore-nos court

Of dramatic inteuseness. Sha was one Of a
pleasure party to the Middle Park, and lite
one afternoon wandered from camp % gath
er some specimens" About du * As she
was returning, a-cat like grOwl started her.
Looking in the direction from whence it
came, on the bank of the stream . few feet
above her, she saw the crouched form q q
puma, or q Rocky Mountain Lon. Lying
fiat upon the ground, with his tail mogicg
uneasily from side to side, with the bristles
on his back raised ike tt ose of A gray cat,
and with shining eyeballs, he was watching
his fair prey. The situation vas o6e which
the stoutest-hearted hunter would not have
enVied, for the lion when it win ighk IL a
fearful enemy. His motions showed too
plainly that he meant mischief She was
too far from camp for her voice 70 be heard
if she should shout, which she did not dare
to do, for fear her cries would precjpitate
the attack. Nor dare she run for the same
reason. She thought Of what she read Of
the power Of the human eye. over
animals, and then she stared him in
the eyes. But the lien commenced creep
ing toward her, his eye glazing. The
young lady sank to the ground, hopeless
Of escaping. But delivsrer was At hand.
A mile or two down the stream band Of
Utes were encsmped, and it appears that
the lion few hours before had attempted
to make q meal Of one Of their ponies, but
was drivenof. Two or three Indians had
followed him with dogs and guns, and just
as the young lady sank swooning to the
ground, the dogs dashed upon the scene,
distracting the animals attention. A mo-
ment later and the crack ola rifle ended the
affair in true dramatic style.

NEAT TMING IN WAY

The Washington Capitol has this: Talk
ing about heels, rather ludicrous incident
connected Herewith occurred at the Illinois
reception the other night. The ballroom
floor at Wizards was newly waxed, and
badly done at that, so that the fair ladies'
aud the gallant beaux found their feet stick
in1 to the floor. While the weaker were
held fast, the stronger aud more energetic
produced noise like unto shoOting-crsck-
ers, as they moved about or attempted to
dance. This got to be such nuisance that
the proprietor was called in and active meas
ures taken to remedy the trouble Meal
from the kit hen was procured and spIink-
led over the floor. Young ladies had TO be
lifted bodily out Of their tracks, in some 10
stances leaving their heels on the floor,
while others were pried up with pokers, ut
tering little shrieks as If hurt Several ell
terprising Illinois bsaux went 10 Miiburn's
and purchased pieces Of chalk, which they
rubbed on the soles Of the young ladies'
shoes. 1t presented a beautiful picture to
see an Illinois gentlemen with his knees
stuck fast to the floor while be whitened
the soles of his love, she balanced most
gracefully on one foot and smiling audibly-
to the tickling process. One maiden lady
went into Mysteries, and from that into q
hack. She has not been heard Of since"

AMERICAN SMILES,

From Report of Mr.. Weiss Lectures.
Some of the SMILES which Americans
derive from their professions, and apply to
persons, have all the character of wit. A
farmer says of meager and unequal
speech, that it was "pretty scattering" al
luding to ground crops that grow unevenly.
An iron founder will say of a speech that
was all passion, that, notwithstanding, it
''didn't make weld" Miners in the West
use the word 'color" for the purest gold in
the ground. One of them remarked of a
man that had been tried and found worth.

ed horse they ever saw" as the ears hang
to jaded horse; and Nantucket captain,
when asked his opinion of very rhetorical
preacher, said "he's good sailor, but

pany or had refrained from voting.
Mr.. Butler suggested that the discussion
of the subject should be fixed for Tuesday
next.
Mr.. Poland had no objection to that. As
to the question of the date of the owner
ship of stock, it was not commended at all
that 1t stood in Nelson's name until the
dates of the certificates. AS to Brooks
votes in Congress he (Poland) would mere
ly remark that at one time the Union Pa

were divided in interest, and that Brooks
acton and vote had been on the side rep
resented by Durant, from whom he re-
ceived the stock.

BATHING IN COLD wATRR.

Nothing is more common than custom
Of many persons TO have cold water bath
Immediately afser leaving their beds, as a
daily habit. Delicltely organized ladies'
not unfrequently have established the same
course, considering it conductive to health.
There is an impression that it invigorates
the individual, hardens the muscles, and
strengthens the constitution. The sudden
abstraction Of cAloric or Vit4l warmth In
that way has not only injured but destroy
ed more than were ever benefited thereby.
A reaction, as it Is called, glow Of wamth
that subsequen ly follows, is q direct draft
upon the system 10 meet q sudden loss Of
vitality, and is by no means 50 beneficial as
theoretically imagined. A tepid bath
makes no such Injurious demands, ard
therefore, Is not injurious or periloRs for
those Of frail Structure

Democrats that when the report shall be
taken up for consideration separate Ieso-
lutions will be introduced for the expulsion
of all the members who had dealings with
Mr.. Ames, on the ground that Ames and
Brooks only should not have been selected
for punishment. Many gentlemen on both
sides are preparing speeches, and it is ex-
pected there will be an excited debate on
Tuesday, to which time the consideration
of the report has been postponed. No one
believes the necessary vote of two-third5 for
expulsion can be secured.
