their shop, but the crowd who preferred
high meat followed them, smashed things
generally, and remained masters of the
situation. The roast beef of Old England

| "A correspondent writes as follows of
a celebrated place in Colorado Canon,
called Echo Park: "When q gun is dis
charged, total silence follows the report
for moment; then, with startling sud-
denness, the echo is heard, seeming at a
great distance-say FIVE miles to the
south-whence it comes back in separate
and distinct reverberatiOns, as if leaping
from glen to glen. Louder and quicker
grows the sound, until apparently directly
opposite, when full volume of sound is
returned; then once more the echo is
heard, like the swapping of cap, far to
the eastward"
The particulars of the death of young
Sutton, brakeman on the Pan. Handle
Railroad. show him to have been quite an
heroic fellow. He had been instructed by
the conductor of his train, Peter Wynn,
to 60 to the rear and flag another train.
While proceeding to comply with these
orders he fell upon the track and was run
over by five cars and the caboose. His
legs were completely cut off just above

bered his orders, and, with courage which
has no equal, cleared the track of the dis.

taking flag from his pocket, waved il

fast approaching. But for this heroism
other lives must certainly have been lost

Robert Clark, notorious New York
burglar, entered Fowler's house in Brook.
Ign, while the Fowlers were at dinner in
the basement, all but one, VIM. Fowler, q
boy of the family. He went upstairs on
some errand and saw q strange man going
through a bureau in the front room. He
stepped into another room and got q
double. barreled shotgun and stationed
himaelf at the frnnt-rnnm door. raised thn
gun to his shoulder, and, looking along
the barrel, said: "If you move I'll blow
your brains Quit" He looked as if he
meant business, too. The boy held the
burglar there with his eye until some of
the rest of the family came to see what
had become of him. They saw him in
his warlike attitude, discerned the cause
and went for policeman. The robber
was captured without bloodshed, and sew
eral articles that had been in the bureau
were found In his pockets. There was a
clear case against him. The boy had no
appetite for his dinner that day. His
presence of mind and pluck deserve hon.
orable mention.
The question whether q gentleman
walking with q lady should give her
his right or left arm is frequently dis
cussed. Custom and written etiquette are
rather in favor of the right, although
there are excellent reasons in behalf Of
the left arm. Either one or the other,
permanently retained, is vastly better than
the awkward and absurd habit of chang
ing arms so as to place the lady on the
inside of the promenade. One advantage
of giving the left arm is that the person
on the right naturally takes the lead, SO
that, in the country or city, in the street
or park, he thus readily directs the way,
instead of waiting to consult with his
companion or causing jostling by each
of them trying to move to opposite points.
Another advantage is, that in q crowded
thoroughfare, such as Broadway. for ex-
ample, where the sidewalk is invariably
encountered with merchandise and
thronged with people, gentleman needs
his right arm to remove distractions and
keep rude or careless folks out of the way,
