Looking for Himself.

The ludicrous spectacle of man look.
ing for himself and suffering the kecncst
chagrin at failing to find himself was
exhibited on the Union Pacific Railroad
not long ago. An Eastern bound emil
grant train stopped at Rock Greek Sta
ton for breakfast. One cmigrant strayed
away, and the first section of the train
started without him. He reached the
second on time and managed to get
away. His friends in the first section
of the train missed him and were seized
with a dread that he had been killed.
The conductor telegraphed to the second
section to look for him and bring him or
his body to Laramie. The passengers
turned out readily to aid in the search.
Foremost among them and displaying a
terrible anxiety was the man for whom
they were looking. He hunted for the
missing emigrant with zeal which could
only be accounted for by the fact-un-
known to him-that he was looking for
himself. During the whole day and fol-
lowing night the search was continued,
the unconscious cause of it suffering
deeply to think that he had been lost
When he reached Laramie the idea never
occurred to his friends, and the railroad
employees might still be looking for the
missing emigrant, when one bright indi-
vidual startled the crowd with the re-
mark that our hero had been looking for
and had failed to find himself.

communication to Gen. Emory protesting
against the action of Maj. Louis Merrill, of the

Der of citizens. The committee claim that the
offense charged is one strictly cognizable
by the civil courts and appertains in no
manner to the military service. They charac-
terizc his actions as being "unmilitary and
intimidating, and in conflict with the spirit of
our Institutions" Several other arrests have
occurred in different parts of the State.

Washington Associated Press dispatch of
u recent date says intimate friends of the
President had stated that he had made no
allusion whatever to them concerning the
question of third term, nor was it known
that any one had mentioned the subject to
him, and neither had he in any way expressed
himself in such manner as to incline them
to believe he had aspirations in that dircc
ton. They further remark that, although
much had been said and written upon the sub
tect, the question had not come to him in a
form requiring reply, and therefore any ut

gratuitous and intrusive but contrary to
usage.

The Solemn Book Agent.

He was tall and solemn and dignified.
One would have thought him Roman
Senator on his way to make a speech on
finance, but he wasn't-singularly enough
he wasn't. He was book agent. He wore
linen buster and his brow was furrowcd
with care-lines as if he had to tumble
out of bed every other night of his life
to dose sick child. He called into a
tailor shop on Randolph street, removed
his hat, took his "Lives of Eminent
Philosophers" from it's cambria bag, and
approached the tailor with: "I'd like
to have you look at this rare work."
II hat no time," replied the tailor.
1T is work which every thinking
man should delight to peruse," continued
the agent.
"Yes, it is work on which q great
deal of deep thought has been expended,
and it is pronounced by such men as
Wendell Phillips to be work without a
rival in modern literature"
"Makes anybody laugh when he ices
it?" asked the tailor.
"No, my friend, this is a deep, pro-
found work, as have already said. 1t
deals with such characters as Theocritus,
Socrates, Plato and Ralph Waldo Emer
son. If you desire work on which the
most eminent author of the day has
spent years of study and research. you
can find nothing to compare with this. :"
Does it speak about how to CLEAN
gloze?" anxiously asked the man of the
goose.
my friend, this no receipt book, but
an eminent work on philosophy, as
have told you. Years were consumed in
preparing this volume for the press, and
none but the clearest mind could have
grasped the subjects herein discussed.
If you desire food for deep meditation
you have it here"
"Does dis pook say sumding about
der Prussian war;" asked the tailor, as
he threaded his needle.
my friend, this is not an everyday
book, but work on philosopy-a work
which will soon be in the hands of every
profound thinker in the country. What
is the art of philosophy? This book tells
you. Who were and are our philoso-
piers! Turn to these pages for reply.

As said before, I don't see how you
can do without it,"
"Und he don't hat anydings about some
fun, eh?" inquired the tailor, as the book
was held out to him.
My friend, must l again inform you
that this is not an ephemeral work-not
collection of nauseous trash, but a rare,
deep work on philosophy. Here, see the
name OF the author That name alone,
sir, should be proof enough to your
mind that the work cannot be surpassed
for profundity of thought. Why, sir,
Gerrlt Smith testifies to the greatness of
this volume!'
II not knows Mr. Schmidt make no
clothes nit him." returned the tailor in a
doubling voice.
"Thcn you will let me leave your
place without having secured your name
to this volume! l cannot believe it!
Behold what research! Turn these
leaves and see these gems of richest
thought Ah!if we only had such minds
and could WELD such pen! But we can
read, and in measure we can be like

ble work. Let me put your name down;

Hanging the Heavy Villain.

The moral effect of the sensational
drama was perhaps never better illus
trated than in theater at Cambridge,
England, recently, where the perform
ance wound up with tragedy founded
upon local murder, the details of which
were mimicked with sickening precision.
The curtain fell after the murderer had
been brought to the scatfold, and with
rope dangling above his head had i'm
proved the occasion" The audience re-
fused to leave, and when the orchestra
played the national anthem it was re-
ceived with Kisses and clamor, and the
crowded audience remained in their
places. At length the manager presented
himself and apologized for being unable
to crafty his patrons by actually hang
ing the actor who represented the MUIR
deer unless with his own consent, which
he was hardly likely to give. The
gods" shouted furiously: Bring him
out with the rope around his neck" OF
course the demand was complied with,
and after more demonstrations of their
desire to see the representative of the
murderer actually hanged the crowded
audience slowly, and with manifest re-
luctance. left the house.

The profit of the barley crop to the
acre in California is found to be fully
one-half more than that of the wheat
crop, to say nothing of it being better
adapted to some soils and climates where
wheat is subject to rust and drawbacks.
The export of barley SO far is entirely
experimental, and does not constitute
any considerable trade. There are two
certain markets in the future, however,
the American and the English. Canada
now supplies us, and England is already
discussing the near approach OF the time
when she must import her beer stock
and horse food from somewhere.
