THE WHIRLIeIG OF TDaE-When the
war OF the rebellion broke out, Lieut.. Beale
was an officer in the second regiment of dra-
goons, and was stationed at Fort Leayen-
worth. He was graduate of West Point,
aud the future was bright with promise of
promotion. The war changed everything.
This officer cast his fortunes with the confed-
eracy, lett the Union army and served in the
cause of secession. With his change of senti-
mert he lost not only caste of position, Off
cially, but he saw what fortune he had ac-
cumulated rapidly diminish, his friends leave
him, and. himself left, like many others, os-
tracised politically and socially, Since the
war Lieut.. Beale-who by the way Is a son of
the government official who made su vey OF
the Arizona-has found himself buffeted hith-
er and thither by the waves of ofadversity. A few
day, ago Capt E. L. Berthoud, who has
charge of engineering parties on the extern
sions of the Colorado Central railway, and
who knew Beale in his better days before the
war, accidentally discovered this man shovel
ing dirt amongst gang of workmen on the
railroad grade in the mountains. Greatly
changed, though he was, Berthoud at once
recognized him, and was greatly astonished
at finding man who had before occupied so
high position, and who at one time had
every avenue of success and rapid elevation
open to him, laboring with shovel to earn
his daily bread. After the recognition, Mr.
Beale told Berthoud the story of his yicissi-
tudes, and the latter, who knew the mans
superior capacities, at once took him to
Golden and secured him responsible posi-
tion in the engineer corps of the Julesburg
road.-R0cky Mountain Ne,cs.

HOW TO CURE Ir-wHAT DIo LEWIS SAYS.
DR.. Dio Lewis, writing in the Philadelphia
To-Day, says:
Some years ago, famous professor came
to town where we were then residing, and
announced that he could ''cure the worst
cases of suffering in ten minutes, without a
surgical operation A friend Of ours was an
inveterate case, and we advised him to call
upon the wonderful magician. He called,
was convinced by the testimonials exhibited,
struck up bargain, paid the fifty dollars, and
soon came up to our Office, talking as straight
as railroad track.
We were greatly astonished, and asked our
friend by what miracle he had been SO
strangely and suddenly relieved of his life
long trouble. He most provokingly in ormed
us that he had made solemn pledge not to
reveal the process of cure.
We knew two other bad cases-ladies-and
calling upon them, reported what had come
to pass.
They were soon at the professors rooms.
came away greatly elated, raised the hundred
dollars, went the next day, paid the cash,
and in half an hour were ready, had the ques-
tion been popped, to say ''Yes" without
jerk!
We were soon made acquainted with sew
eral other cures quite as remarkable, and re-
solved to put on our sharpest wits and wait
upon the magician ourselves.
He seemed an honest man, and In two DAYS
we had made up our mind to pay him large
fee and learn the strange art, with the privi-
lege of using it to cure whomsoever we
would.
Those who had been been cured by the pro-
fessor were solemnly bound not to reveal the
secret to any one, but our contract gave us
the privilege of using the knowledge as we
pleased.
And now we propose to give the readers of
this Journal simple art which has enabled
us to make very happy many unhappy stam-
mcrers. In our own hands it has often failed
to effect the desired result, but in three
fourths of the cases which we have treated
the cure has been complete.
The sesret is simply this: The stammerer is
made to mark theltime in his speech, just as it
is ordinarily done in singing. Heis at first to
beat on every syllable. 1t is best at the first
lesson to read some simple composition, like
one of Dayid's Psalms, striking the finger on
the knee at every word; then read in a news
paper, beating each syllable.
You can beat time by striking the finger
on the knee, by simply hitting the thumb
against the forefinger or moving the large toe
in the boot.
We doubt if the worst case of suffering
could CONSUME long, provided the sufferer
would read an hour or two every day, with
thorough practice of this simple art, observ-
ing the same in his conversation.

Mr.. Dos Passos, of counsel for Stokes, will
never reach the ''heaven-kissing heights of
Fame" without imperiling his identity. A
man born to a name like that could scarcely
expect it. Already the Western papers have
grappled his patronymic and twisted it into
fearful shapes. They call him 'Dos Pianos,"
''Do Pannos," "Dus Piano." &C., &c. But
'fame is avapor;' so what matters it?
