Astonished Piutes.

THERE were yesterday lying upon the
sidewalk in front of this Office several
thousand pounds of new type, sill packed
away in small wooden boxes. These
were to be carried to the fourth story of
the Enterprise building, and some Piute
Indians who were loafng about in front
OF the business office were told that they
could have the job if they were on the
work" After being told all about where
the boxes were to be carried to the In
dams turned their attention to the boxes
themselves. These looked so small that
they thought the job would be mere
play. A strapping big buck at last
stepped up to one of the smaller boxes
and laid hold of it as though with the
intention of tossing it upon his shoulder
at the first pass. The box no more moved
than if it had been frozen to the side
walk. The self-complacent smile which
had moment before irradiated the red
mans countenance gave place to a look
of profound establishment. "Who-o-
oop," said he, as he backed away from
the box to the distance of some PAGES.
'Woo-oo-ee! one big little boxes" He
then jabbered awhile in his own native
lingo, and half dozen other Indians came
forward and one after another took hold
of and lifted Inc end of the box They
then tried all the other boxes, and finding
them all alike they gave it as their unan-
imous opinion that they were the "big-
gest little boxes" they had ever seen.
Masses of rock of various kinds being
the heaviest things they had ever seen,
and having no other idea of weight than
that gained by their experience with
these, such immense weight as they now
found in very small compass astonished
them. A large box filled with equals"
almost solid lead-they viewed with
great respect, walking around it and
eying it from all points The redskins
took the job, but never in their lives did
they get such sweat as they did before
they had landed those "little boxes" in
the fourth story of the building VSr-
qiniG (Ne0.) Enterprise.

LOVE AND LABOR.

We die not all: for our deeds remain
To crown with honor or mar with stain;
Through endless sequence of years to come
Our lives shall speak, when our lips are dumb
What though we perish, unknown to fame,
Our tomb forgotten, and lost our name,
Since naught is wasted in heaven or earth,
And nothing dies 70 which God gives birth.
Though life be joyless and death be cold,
And pleasures pail as the world grows old,
Yet God has granted our hearts relief,
For Love and Labor can conquer grief.
Love sheds light on the gloomy way.
And labor hurries the weary day;
Though death be fearful and life be hard,
Yet Love and Labor shall win reward.
If Love can dry up a single tear,
If lifelong Labor avail to clear
single web from before the true,
Then Love and Labor have won their due
What though we mourn we can comfort pain;
What if we die so the truth be plain;
A little spark from high desire
hall kindle others and grow fire.
We are not worthy to work the whole
We have no strength which may save soul;
Enough for us if our life begin
Successful struggle with grief and sin.
Labor is mortal and fades away,
But Love shall triumph in perfect day;
Labor may wither beneath the sod,
But Love lives ever, for Love is God.

The Darwinian Theory.

The Dundee Adoertiser says: L" 1t is
not generally known that series of
elaborate experiments intending to illus
trate the laws affecting the variation and
selection of species have been for some
years going on under the direction of
able and intelligent naturalists. These
experiments were begun soon after the
appearance of Mr.. Darwin's great work,
and their object is to discover the extent
to which, by persistent effort, species
may be varied, to what degree particular
organs may be changed by different
circumstance and condition, and how far
feeble and rudimentary development
may be increased and accelerated by
special conditions and wants. These ex-
periments are carried out with the utmost
care, and their results recorded with
accuracy; and they will no doubt in due
time throw much light on the doctrines
of development and natural selection.
The period during which they have been
conducted has, as yet, been too brief to
yield important results, and they may
possibly have to be carried ON for more
than half a century before their scientific
value is really ascertained- These ex-
periments are under the direct supervis-
ion of nearly all the more eminent natu-
ralists of the day, including Sir John Lub-
book, Mr.. Darwin, and Mr.. Wallace; and
they will be the first sustained scientific
test to which the laws affecting the varia-
ton and origin Of the species have been
subiected.n

/ l have never heard for certain what
actually ensued; but it seems that Rigolot
was awakened by the noise, faint as it was,
and seeing burglar-there was night
light on the chimney piece-leaped out
of bed, flew to drawer, and, extracting
revolver, thence let fly the whole six
barrels at futile without a word of
warning. In saying six barrels, however,
1t is fair to mention that futile did not
wait for any barrels after the first, for in
one bound he was on the balcony, and in
a second he had dropped headlong on to
the f1oWer-bed, twenty feet below, with
out so much as touching the ladder. The
gardener and l followed in state of
emotion which you may be left to inn
agine, for we heard the bullets crushing
with fearful bangs through one pane
after another; but possibly Rigolot did
not really aim at any of US, for it was
noticed afterward that the bullets wenC
through the upper panes.
Well, Rigolot had triumphed in two
trials, but the worst was set him just be-
fore luncheon that day. All the morn
ing there had been panic-stricken talk
among the city men about the presumed
burglary of the night, and Rigolot had
even given his version of that startling
episode to a couple of policemen who
were sent for from the village. He was
calm in his account, and strictly modest;
in fact, his attitude was such as would
have given any ordinary young lady the
highest opinion of him. And yet toward
one O'Clock Ruth Cumleigh, her face
sparkling with mischief, suddenly passed
through the room where | was, and,
reckoning to me with her finger, said:
Just stand behind the door, Mr.. Ire
foil, and you'll see."
Rigolot was seated, reading. He rose
and abruptly exclaimed: "Why, what is
the matter, Mademoiselle? You are cry
ing" The artful puss was, indeed, pass
ing her handkerchief over her eyes.
ooh, never mind me, Monsieur Rigo-
lot; it's only for poor papa care; he has
just received a letter announcing his
ruin"
Good heavens! ruinI'
eyes, complete ruin. 1t seems he will
not be able to save a shilling. Oh, dear!
TO think he should suffer like this!"

And neIeon I, behind my door, heard |
not unlike kisses; protests;
