Arg:lmentum an Hominen

The style of puIsusian that OBJ
tiains in the outlying settlements Of
our beloved country may be infer
red from the following scene that
occurred recently at the Union
Railway ticket-otfice at Denver-
A rough looking man purchased
through mistake a ticket for New
York VIA the Kansas Pacific line
when he wanted to 90 over the
Union Pacific. He did not discov-
er the mistake until after the ticket
had been raid for, and on asking
the agent to change it the latter
refused to do so.
"You won't change this ticket,
then, won't YOU 2"
no." replied the agent; "you
have your ticket, and | have the
money for it, and if you want a
ticket over the route you will have
to buy it,
Very quietly the stranger twis-
ted his ticket into a small roll, very
serenely drew from under his coat
tail a six-shooter, coolly stuck the
twisted ticket into the muzzle there
ofand sticking the pleasant-looking
thing through the littls square VIM
dow of the ticket-ofice almost in
the agents face, and speaking in a
tone that left nc doubt of his de-
termination, said, stranger, thar's
that ticket ; take it yourself and
change it, or by the great horn
spoon I'll blow it clean through
you" 1t was changed with cheer
full alacrity, and the traveller per
Union Pacific walked away, say
ing, 81 Jest thought l could induce
him TO change his mind a little. y

How Tell Pare Water.

An English technical periodical
points out an easy way Of testing
whether water is good and ft for gen
cral use. IL says:
Good water should he free from col
or, unpleasant ordor and taste, and
should quickly afford lather with a
small portion of soap. If half a pint
of the water be placed in a perfect
clean, colerless glass-stoppered bottle,
Il few grains of the best white lump
sugar added, and the bottle freely eX
posed TO the daylight in the window of
u warm room, the liquid should not
become turbid, even after exposure
fora week or ten days. If the water
becomes turbid, it is open to the grave
suspicion of sewerage contamination (;
hut if it remains clear, it is almost GER
tainly safe. We owe to Heisch this
simple. valuable. but hitherto strange
ly Neglected, test.

customs of his day and of the present.

Nelson. "Ies, you do, my Lord, F"
said the matter-oi- fact man. Now If it
were possible that such thing could
happen to a post captain Of the present
day, he would have had the quarter
master in irons at once. Not so Mel

with the Frenchman, when he gave
him-as he always did every enemy

a Sad Picture.

It was an old man. seventy years
of age. being accosted as TO where he
was going-an old man with snow
white locks, trembling limbs. and a
voice like chiid's who said-'I'm
jogging along to the poor house; I'm
old, weak and sick, and no one wants
me. I've been rich, always had a
good name. aud have read my Bible
but I'm going to The poor-house after
all" He tried to speak lightly of the
affair, but lac broke down before he
had finished, and there could not have
been sadder sight than to see him
with the tears falling down his wrin-
kled cheeks. Fortune plays strange
freaks with the wealth which men
strive to accumulate, ana of which
they never have enough, but she ought
to be gentle with those to whom age
hath brought gray hairs and bitter
sorrows.

The Sharks Victim.

James Green, the fisherman who
was bitten by shark, as noticed
yesterday, still remains at the Ma
ryland University Hospital, and is
improving. The calf of the right
leg was caught between the outer
row Of the teeth of the shark and
tsrIibly lacerated, the bone being
shattered to pieces. The amputa-
amputed justbelow the knee, and the
patient is in a fair way of recovery.
Had the second row Of teeth caught
the leg it would have been snapped
off as easily as if ithad been a pipe
stem.
