Imprint Of a Bear on a Rock.
From the Denver, Col, News.

From the Denver, Col, News.
At Mr.. Guernsey's photograph
gallery, in Colorado Springs, there is
a photograph of the figure Of bear
on a rock. This curious impression
interestd the members ofthe Hayden
survey, and the subject came to the
attention of the Professors. Below
we reproduce a copy Of the note of
explanation in Mr.. Guernsey's posses
sion. The figure, as shown on the
rock, is called ga great natural curl
osity:''
"In the county Bent, on the Purga-
toire River, eighteen miles from Las
Animas, Colorado, on the smooth
face Of sandstone cliff, oyerhung
by a wall of rock hundred or more
feet high, there is life-size photo
graph, as it were, of grizzly bear.
The picture is not an accidental re-
semblance to bear, but picture
more perfect and life-like than any hu-
man art can supply. The short tail
standing straight out, the ears visible,
the eyes and teeth plainly to be seen,
the natural attitude, all demonstrate
beyoud the shadow of a doubt that
the picture is a photograph stroke of
lightning during the progress of a
Storm"
DR. Hayden, Judging from the pho
tograph, is of the opinion that it is
the work of some of our Indians.

Pistol Practice in Washoe.

Yesterday afternoon, at saloon
on the Divide, some men were dis
cussing the shooting atfray which oc-
cured duhng the morning between
the two brothers-in law, Fallman and
Ward, as mentioned in another col
umn. 1t was agreed on all hauds
that it was shocking bad shooting
a discredit to Washoe. At least a
Phoebe man banterd a Comstock man,
whom he knew to be good shot
with a pistol, to 60 out in his back
yard with him, and do some shooting,
just to show the 'boys" how it ought
to be done. In the saloon was box
of eggs, and what the Piocher pro-
posed was that each shoot two eggs
off the bare head of the other at the
distance often PAGES the one missing
to treat the croud. The Comstocker
was bound not to be bluffed by a man
from the other end of the State, so to
the backyard all hands adjourned.
Each man used his own six shooter.
The Comstocker first ''busted" his
egg on the top of the Piocher's heac.,
which exploit was loudly applauded
by all present. 1t was then the Pi-
ocher's turn to shoot, aud an egg
was produced to be placed upon the
head of the Comstocker' but when he
raised his hat there was great
laugh, for the top of his head was as
smooth as billiard-ball. For fullten
minuts all hands tried in vain to
make an egg stand on his head. 1t
douldn't be done. The Piodher then
taunted the Comstodker with having
gone into the arrangement, knowing
that he was safe The latter told
him to set up his egg and it was all
right-he was there. The Piocher
went into the saloon, and in mo
ment came out with a small handful
of flour, which he dabbed upon the
bald head of the Comstocker, and
then triumphantly planted in it his
egg, fell back ten steps, and then
Knocked it off. The Comstocker
then told him to set up his second
egg and shoot at it, as he didn't
want to have his head chalked twice
during the game. This was done,
and the wreck of Il second egg strea-
med over the Comstocker's pate.
The Piocher now stood out with his
last egg on his head. The Comstock-
er raised his pistol and fired. The
Piocher bounded yard into the air,
and the egg bounced whole from his
head. "I've lost!" said the Com
stocker. "Let all come up anddrink.
BY a slip I've put half the width of my
bullet through the top Of his left earl"
and so it proved upon measurement.

Saltwater loo.

The notion generally prevails, that,
when salt water freezes, the ice is
fresh, and, when melted, will produce
fresh water. Prof. Tyndall states
that such is the case, in his "Forms
of Water But DR.. Rae, the Arctic
explorer, declares that he was "never
able to find sea ice, in situ, either
eatable when solid, or drinkable when
thawed,-it being invariably too salt"
He adds, however, that, when his
party found ice projecting above the
water, and from its appearance indi-
eating that it was year or more old,
it was generally fresh, and made good
drinking water. His theory explain
ing the fact is, that the salt is not it.
self CONCEALED, but that concentrat-
ed brine, imprisoned in minute cells,
is retained in the solid ice. These
cells communicating with each other,
when the ice is lifted above the gen.
eral level, the brine is drained of,
leaving the mass fresh.

Max Adeler on Grape Culture.

have not been very successful
with my experiments in grape cul-
ture. bought vine sometime ago,
and the man who sold the cutting to
me enjoined me to be careful to water
it thoroughly every day; did SO, but
it didn't seem to thrive. One day l
asked my neighbor Pitman what he
thought was the matter with it, and
when | mentioned that watered it
daily, he said:
"Be gracious, Adcler, that'd kill
any one! A grape vine don't want
any artificial waterin'."
Then he advised me to discontinue
the process, and to wash the vines
with soapsuds, in order to kill the
bugs. My anxiety to know why it
still didn't thrive was relieved some
time afterward by overhearing a man
in the cars remark, that "some men
kill their grapevines by darned fool
cry i'll putting soapsuds on 'em." He
said that all grapevine wanted was
to have the earth around it loosened
now and then with a spade. Then l
began to dig around my vine every
morning; but, one day while engaged
in the exercise, Cooley came and
leaned over the fence, and said:
"Adeler, you'll kill that there vine
if you don't stop dlggin' at it. Moth
ing hurts a vine wuss than disturbin'
the soil around the roots, now mind
me. That vine don't want nothin'
but to be trained upon trellis and
fastened with wire"
l ordered trellis that afternoon,
and tied the tender shoots of the vine
to the cross piece. The job cost me
thirty-four dollars. On the following
Tuesday l read in my agricultural
paper that if man wants to ruin a
grape vine, the quickest way is to tie
it up with a wire, as the oxidation
destroys the bark. SO took off the
wire and replaced it with string. I
was talking about it to the man who
came over to bleed my horse for the
blind staggers, and he assured me
there was only one sure way to make
a grapevine utterly worthless, and
that was to run it up on trellis. In
France, he told me, the vineyard
owners all trained their vines on
poles, and that was the right way. l
got the axe and knocked the trcllis to
pieces, and then fixed the vine to a
bean pole. Still it didn't thrive very
well, and asked Il nursery man near
me to come and look at it. He said
he couldn't come, but he knew what
was the matter with the vine as well
as if he saw it. 1t wanted pruning.
l ought to cut it down within ten feet
of the ground, and manure it well,
| did cut it down, and emptied Il bag
of guano over it; but as it seemed
sort of slow, / insisted on the nur-
seryman coming over to examine it.
He said that his fee was ten dollars
in advance. Ipaid him and he come.
He looked at the vine a moment, then
he smiled, and then he said, 'by gosh,
Adeler, that isn't a grapevine at all!
It's Virginia creeper."
SO have kind of knocked off Oh
grape culture and am paying more
attention to my cabbage.

A Matrimonial Sensatiou.
Drrespondence Utica Herald.

Correspondence Utica Herald.
A singular story comes to us from
Westmoreland and / feel that no in
justice will be done the parties by
giving the facts as they have thus far
occurred:
There are two residents of West
morcland (whom we will consider
Jones and Smith) whose land 'joins.'
Jones is a farmer, and has daughter
who will be sixteen years old in
few weeks. His neighbor Smith (who
is in the employ of the Rome, Water
town & Ogdensburg Railroad Com
pany) has among his children boy
who will be sixteen years of age in
January, and to whom it was his in
tention to give a trade and educate
till he should attain his majority
Last April Mr. Smith indentured his
son to farmer Jones for period of
six Of seven months, and at the expi-
ration of that time the boy was to 60
to school. An attachment sprang up
between the young people, and a few
days ago young Smith asked his faith
er's consent to the union, saying that
farmer Jones favored it. Smith call
ed Jones a few days subsequently,
who denied giving his consent to the
matrimonial arrangement, and told
Smith, in plain English, that his son
had lied. After Smith left the house,
Jones is said to have told young
Smith that his father proposed lock
ing him up. in the morning. What
particularly followed is not known,
save that these two children were
packed off to the church in Lowell
and legally married, young Smith
wearing suit of clothes belonging
to Jones' oldest boy. AS soon as
Mr.. Smith was informed of the mar
riage, he saw his boy and made him
this proposition: To stay at the home
of farmer Jones three nights in the
week, and at his (Smith's) the re-
naming four nights, which would in.
sure going to school a trade, as a
start down the matrimonial stream.
Up to yesterday Young Smith had
