A SAND STORM IN COLORADO. Last
Monday, two Mexican boys, Jesus Maria
and Juan do la Cruz Limbustery, were
taking herd Of 700 sheep across the
sand hills Of the ''Lomns del Arreno,' ~
about twenty-fonr miles Northerly from
Fort Garland. These sand hills extend
out into the San Luis Valley, about
fifteen miles opposite the Mosco Pass.
The herders undertook to make "short
cut" across the hills, instead OF going
around, as directed by their father. At
first, everything moved gaily; tho boys
and sheep md dogs only sank few
Inches in the light, white sand, and they
t lought how foolish it was Of old fogies
t,go around twenty miles, when it was
only four across; but before they got
half across. one Of those sudden storms
arose; up came q gentle breeze, the
breeze became wind, and the wind an
awfu! hurricane; the sand moved about
in binding clouds, hills changed to
holes, and every hole was seething
caldrcn. The poor boys struggled hard
to avert their doom, and Jesus Maria
managed by drawing lis serape over his
head and keeping his feet and climbing
as the sand piled up around him to sur
vive tho tornado, but his younger
brother, Juan lie la Cruz, sucoumbed to
tile snitocating blast, and as ship goes
down n: sea SO sank the brave boy, su:-
rounded by his bleating sheep and
whining dogs; and when the storm
ceased Us suddenly as it had commenced,
little Jesus found himself all alone with
quiet mounds Of glistening sand all
around him, and not trace Of the
cruel storm nor wreck Of tho sad dis.
as!er conld be seen. He hurried home,
where he arrived the next day, and told
bis tale Of terror. The whole plaza
turned out III search for the loet body
and to dig out the missing sheep. Cp
to the succeeding afternoon they had
not recovered over 400 sheep, most Of
them being found about six feet below
the surface; end the natives from
neighboring pluzas had Hocked to the
scene, and were busily engaged in dig
e'ng out sheep, saving tho wool and
feastinS on mutton.

That miserable aud insignificant non
entity, the bridegroom, is, of course, of
no account whatever during the we'd
ding ceremony. Nobody looks at him,
nobody thinks of him. There nrc no
fears for lis immolation, no smelling
bottles for his agitation. He is. for d
time, black. coated back ground to a
picture Of radiant beauty. What is he
that lie should interrupt with his foolish
nervousness the even course of the
ceremony which fixes lis fate forever2
No censure, therefore, can be too harsh
for that wretchcd man who, being mar.
ried in Cleveland, the other duy, put
the welding ring into bis mouth, when
the service began. that lie might find it
at the proper moment. The moment
arrived; the minister winked for the
ring. The trembling bridegroom gave
an obedient start, ~ Sudden gnlp. and
the ring ha1 Iisarpeard down his un-
lucky throat.

A BUFFALO CLERGYMAN GOES TO THE
RACES AND breaches ON THEM.-Rey.
J. Fletcher, Uniyersalist clergy man in
Buffalo, preached on Sunday upon the
recent horse races in that city, taking as
his text, know ye not that those who
run in O race run all, but one obtuineth
the prize. So run that ye may obtain :"
The Commercial A!rertissr, Of Buffalo,
says that after some introductory re-
marks, the reverend gentleman said that
he went to the races personally, that he
might see the finest specimens Of the
noblest animals that God has given to
the human family. and he thought it
should be c]ergyman's S duty to see such
creatures, since he cannot own and must
not drive them. The horses, he said,
prepare to DO their utmost, and if any
man can use such knowledge to advan.
tage, and bless the world BY ministry
Of good to be derived from it, the clcr-
gyman can, whose duty bids him to use
the best illustrations Of human effort as
an inspiration to the highest possibilities
OF his people. He also went to the races
for the purpose Of knowing the com
parative good and evil resulting from
them. Second hand information, lie re-
marked, does not generally result in
first class knowledge.

It is not wholly impossible to con-
ceive OF circumstances in which gentle
man might sit down to table without his
coat. The Scotch Highlandcrs, who are
very proud race of men, sit at table
without pantaloors, md even Queen
Eictosia's "gillie," the famous John
Brown, cats his dinner frequently in
presence Of her Majesty with not IL bit
Of covering between the top of his hose
and the tail Of his kilt. Such thing
would be considered qni;e shocking in
this country, but the Scotch consider it
quite stylish. With regard to the prac-
tice Of using tho fork rs q toothpick,
there is no doubt that it should be seGu-
lousy avoided; but it is not impossible
for tho human intellect to imagine o
case in which such a thing would be JUS
tiiable. Forks were introduced into
England in the reign of Elizabeth, aud
tho Virgin Queen, who never liked q
fork, would often lay it to one side, con.
vcy her meat to her royal mouth with
her royal fingers, and then use it rs 4
pick for her royal teeth.

a NOTE OF DESPAIR lone of our
Northern Republican exchanges, after
speaking in doleful nun bers, of the
wretchedly low standard OF morality in
Administration circles and the country
generally, thus despairingly cries out
for saviour:
"Who and where is the clear thinking
statesman-no, not statesman, common
man-every day n.an--hard.fstea,
rough and hearty, but honest way
down, true to wife and family ana his
own manhood, who will roll away the
stone from the sepulchre Of public vir
tue? The time calls out for him. The
country waits his coming. a nation
bowed down with the shame brought on
1t by its trusted servants, with its face
IN the dust, prays in its ane dish for
some convulsion that shall rcpd the
heavens and purify the mir, and elect to
the chief magistracy Of the nation o
clever, honest, talented and whole
souled Southern northumberland
who would put stop 10 the stealing,
and teach Radical officials better man
ners-who would appoint trustworthy
und efficient officers to the public places,
and set the country, rs several Southern
Presidents have done before, an exam
pie OF honor, integrity and patriotism
and then the face Of things would be
changed and the moral atmosphere puri-
fed once more"
