could not fail to perceive that it was a true
narrative of the events Of the preceding

A Mystery Solved.

A church in Prussia was used as a maga-
zine for provisions for soldiers, but great
care was taken Of the high altar on ac-
count of the beauty of its construction. A.
rumor spread that the altar was mysterious
ly illuminated every night, and throngs of
people gathered about the church. The
commandant ordered the key and with
lantern explored the church, but nothing
was found to clear up the mystery, but as
soon as the church was empty the altar
and whole church were again Illuminated.
The commandant issued proclamation
offering a reward to any one who could un-
rayel the mystery.
For two days no one claimed the reward,
but on the third common soldier beloug-
ing to the fortress requested private au-
dience with the commandant, and explain
ed to him that he was occasionally en-
ployed to put frames to mirrors and burning
glasses, and one evening when at work at
a large concave glass it happened to be SO
placed as to throw light into the church,
when finding public curiosity excited he
often threw the light from the attic to the
altar. The commandant explained to the
public and gave the promised reward to
the joker. ~.

dreaming, perhaps, of the wicked temp
tress that had come between him and
his fond wife. Presently reaction took
place, and the wretched woman sank
into chair and found relief in that
blessed panacea for female ills--a flood of
tears.
Growing calmer after while, she picked
up the rumpled letter, smoothed out the
creases, and, with an air of mingled de-
spair and resignation, looked for the sigma
ture. it

ulous actions had been witnessed by her
husband. Burning with shame, the foolish
woman flew to her room, and locked her

as when she felt that she was a wronped

Pawnee Rock.

N western annals, certain places, unim-
IL portant in themselves, have gained a
large Importance and wide celebrity from
their associations. Such place was Paw
nee Rock. Though only landmark of the
plains, cluster of reddish-colored rocks in
bluff on the north side of the Arkansas,
it was a famous place SO lately as three or
four years ago. ALI frontiersmen and In
dians knew it well. 1t had witnessed many
a council, many treaty and "swap,"
many gathering Of the clans while yet the
encroachments of the white man were far
to the eastward. 1t occupied the same
necessary place in Indian and frontier
affairs which a country town or commercial
centre might in civilization, and finally be-
came endowed with semi-sacredness in
savage eyes. AS a place where momentous
negotiations were carried on, and solemn
compacts made, this red landmark on the
western plains is entitled to more consider
alton than Penn's Oak, and probably has a
stranger history, almost forgotten.
1t is strange to reflect that the history of
Pawnee Rock is now merged in the stran-
ger history of the wonderful advance of
civilization. Only a few days since, the
quarter section upon which it stands was
turned into farm. Not by frontiers
man who knows anything of its history,
but as though the extremes of birth and
education should meet upon the scene of
savage camps and councils, by Swedish
gentleman named Eric Norburg, one of the
old Bishop Hill colony, of Illinois, who
purchased it from the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe r. r. Company. Barton
county, in which it is, is one of the richest
in western Kansas. People are gathering
around it upon all sides, and soon it will
likely be the nearest neighbor to church
or a school-house.
| People who are fond of associations, and
who have some regard for that strange
history of a race which is rapidly passing
away without record, except such as this,
will be glad to reflect that the famous land
mark is not tree, or q mound, liable to
waste and decay, but a rock, whose very
ponderous uselessness may perpetuate ira
dition in the midst of the wheat-flelds and
vineyards which are destined soon to come.

A WOman's Curiosity.

A TIRED husband went home from his
IN work one night recently, and, taking
off his coat, requested his wife to mend
rent in the sleeve, then sank upon the sofa
behind the evening paper. Wife-like she
took up the coat; woman-like she diyed
into the pockets. From the inside pocket
she drew forth letter, directed, in delicate
chirography, to her husband. With dark
ening brow, she quickly took the suspic-
ious looking missive from the envelope,
and, without noticing the date, began to
read
"DEAR GEORGE am lonely, oh so
lonely since you left me last Thursday
night" ....
"Ah, ha! that was lodge night he told
me-" said the now thoroughly interested
woman, as she glanced viciously over at
her husband, who appeared to be just
falling asleep. ooh, how can you sleep
with the weight of this deep sin upon
you? But I'll see what more the brazen
huzzy has to say, if it kills me-" With
one hand pressed to her throbbing heart,
she read on
~ know / am foolish, darling, but
when you are away there seems to be a
barrier between me and all that is bright
and lovely. The sun does not shine half
so bright the moon is but white spot in
the sky, and the stars stare coldly down,
when you are not with me, lord of my life
and heart.n
"Was it for thisp was it for this ?"
moaned the unhappy wife,
"Fortune speed the day when we may
be united in those indissoluble bonds.t that
are sacred in the eyes of Heaven and
earth-" iplrl rH .lt.1 glHu
"What mockeryl Does he or she con-
slider that his VOWS made to me are not
sacred? What are they going to do with
me, any way, wonderP Poison, perhaps.
Oh, false, perhdious man Oh wicked,
hellish, designing wanton p Still the suf-
fering woman read the letter, though each
word burned to ashes a thousand hopes
and joys. ...,,.. .g,.t,a.. ..,
"when we need meet no more clan
destinely and trembled in each others en-
brace-"
"I'd make you tremble if / had you in
my embrace minute p

"and our lips smother the tender words

''Oh, the sirenic shs-devil l'' hissed the
woman, as she tried TO keep down the
boiling rage within her. She crushed tho
letter in her hands, then threw 1t upon the
floor and sprang upon it with her heels, as
though it were snake, aud ground 1t Into
the carpet. Then, with clenohed hands
and compressed lips, she strobe rapidly
back and forth across the room, ever and
anon making move as if to spring like a
fury upon her husband, who with paper
over his face, was apparently sound asleep

AHIIi Oh SuIphur.

One Of the most remarkable deposits of
native sulphur, as yet discovered, is a great
hill composed Of the almost pure article,
found some two years ago at distance of
thirty miles south Of the Union Pacific rail-
way and nine hundred miles west Of Oma-
ha. This marvellous deposit is found to
consist almost wholly Of sulpher, contain
ing only 10 per cent. of Impurities. The
best deposits heretofore available are those
found in Sicily. The principal supplies for
the manufactufe Of sulphuric acid come
from there the deposits contain 35 per
cent. Of Impurities and GA per cent. of sui
phup Our western sulphur hill, therefore,
is much the most valuable, and promises to
become ere long Of great Importance to the
country. 31rir'.e ~ .,,.,,a.
