Powerful Arguments.

A few days ago tall, rough looking
mountaineer entered the Union railroad
ticket Office at Denver, and, through
mistake purchased ticket for New
York via the Kansas Pacific line, when
he wanted to go over the Union Pacific.
He did not discover this fact until after
the ticket had been paid for, and on
asking the agent to change it, the latter
refused to do so.
You won't change this ticket, then
wont you ?"
NO, sir" replied the agent; ''you
have your ticket and | have the money
for it, and if you want ticket over the
other route, you will have to buy it."
Very quietly the stranger twisted his
ticket into il small roll very serenely
he drew from under his right coat tail a
six shooter about the dimensions of Il
mountain howitzer; cOolly and deliber-
ately he stuck the twisted ticket into
the muzzle of that six shooter, and
sticking the ugly looking thing through
the little square window of the ticket
office, and almost in the agents face
and speaking i'll the tone that left nc
doubt of his determination, said:
stranger, thar's that ticket take il
yourself and change it, or by = I'll
blow it clean through YOU"
The ticket was changed Immediately
and without any more words from the
agent, and the mountaineer walked
away. saying:
Il .jes thought | could induce him t.
change his mind a leetle.'

Group.

This disease has two varieties the
true or membranous and the false or
SpaSmodic Group. The tendency of the
first form of the disease is towards
death. if left to itself. while the second
is scarcely ii dangerous affection. al
though it causes great alarm because
people fail To distinguish one form of
the diseaS" from the other.
McmhranouS Group is 50 slow and IN
>diouS in its development that il does
not generally give rise to any serious
apprehension, until it has progressed
81 far a. to cause obstruction of the air
passages, while false or >pasmodic Group
comes on without giving any warning
in the night oftencr than otherwise.
The former variety may he known by
the obstruction in the throat being pre-
coded hy alteration of the voice, cough
and teverishness. while i'll the latter
form of the disease these symptoms are
wanting Many mothers congratulate
themselves. because. as they suppose,
they have saved their children from
death through the application of snuff
and oil. onions, etc. when. actually.
their children never had the true Group,
and would have recovered just ;is soon
with no treatment at all.
As to the causes of such diseases if
children were fed upon nothing but
plain. nutritious food, at regular inter
walls. and were so dressed (girls especial
ly.) that the lower eXtremities would he
lis well protected as the rest of the
body, We venture to say that such
diseases a> Group and diptheria would
never he heard of as far aS they are
concerned.
In mcmbranous Group as i'll diptheria,
the true condition TO he treated is severe
congestion of the throat. which if not
arrested. will produce diSorganiZation
of the blood in the part, and the formal
tion of Il Sutfocating membrane. AS n
natural consequence the eXtremities are
cold and bloodless.
In both Group and diptheria the in
dicatuns are to direct the blood from
the throat and cause it to flow to the
skin and eXtrrmitieS. To this end let
the child he immersed in very warm
water from its feet to its neck until it
shall become thoroughly warm III the
eXtrcmticS and Oh the surface, and then
put it To bed with cold applications to
the throat. II necessary repeat the
warm bath. Although this treatment
is simple, it is nevertheless mighty in
it, RESULTS.
SpaSmodic Group is attended with
little or no danger. still it CAUSES great
anxiety on the part of parents and
friends, because of the difficulty of
breathing which it occasions. verging
on sutfocatiou. Let the patients feet
he placed in warm water and hot APP
plications be made to the throat. This
will relieve any ordinary case in fifteen
minutes. y light and spare diet for
two or three days will prevent Il recur-
renee of the disease.

But the adventures of MessrS. La
throp and Crump were not Yet over
Scarcely were they ''thawed out" and
before they had removed their wrap
pings, they, i'll company with Lathrop's
brother. started to carry clothing and
food to the scholars who were
IMPRISONED IN THE SCHOOL HOUSE.
This editice is not over fifteen rods
from the store aforementioned, and vet
such was the binding, bewllderlng ma
ture of the storm, these gentlemen, two
of them perfectly conversant with the
way, wandered around for an hour and
4 half us totally lost as if they were III
thc rcccSSes of the Rocky Mountains.
At length. when almost dishcartened
and tagged out they stumbled over the
steps of the store building from which
they started. Waiting only to get
breath. they made another attempt.
This time they took coil of rope, fast
rncd one end to the door handle of the
store and went out into the darkness.
\ blacksmith shop was the first build
ing they found, and to this they at
tached the rope. a few rods further
on they came to ii house, and hitched
their rope to that, and finally they
found the school house, and to this, al
50, the rope was made fast. For
THREE DAYS AND TWO NIGHTS
the scholars remained close prisoners.
and their food was carried to them by
the rope walk
