Good Reading.

The Christian Union is now publish
ing Edward Eggleston's new story
(Which he himself considers to be his
besO. "The Circuit Rider \ Tale of
the Heroic Age" Mr.. Eggleston is one
of our freshest and most vivid story
writer's, and his sketches of Western life
and character are superior to anything
we have. The Union shows as much
tact and enterprise as any daily journal
in the country. 1t has a corps of the
best contributors of all shades of recog-
nized Christian opinion, and gets the
best thought out of all of them. 1t
shows more plainly than any other
religious family paper in the United
States the evidences of careful,
thorough editorial work. It's col
umns, always full of interesting mat
ter, contain q greater variety than those
of any paper of similar nature. 1t has
been very readable paper for years,
and has steadily improved upon its own
excellence. Itadvocates unity in spirit
of Cancellation ratherth of dogmatism,
and seeks to draw by fairness when it
would not drive by pugnacity. In this
respect it is a model Christian paper,
and its temper and spirit are beautiful
illustration of the ripened character and
mellowed experience of its editor. It's
pages give ample evidence that Mr..
Beechers heart and hand are thorough
ly enlisted in the great work the Chris
tan Union is defined to fulfill.
The chromos "The dinner" and
"The Nap" which Messrs. Ford & Co.
are now presenting to all subscribers to
the Christian Union for 1S74-genu-
inely beautiful Paris printed oleographs
are even superior, in conception
and execution, to the famous pair
"Wide Awake" and Fast Asleep"
whose issue, by the same firm, caused
so great an excitement two years ago.
The subjects of the new pictures are
boys-real boys-and the accessories
are very natural, suggestive and anus
ing. They are really artistic pictures,
and quite as pleasing to refined taste
as they are to the popular eye and the
hearts of the children.
"The Lord is Risen is the title of
an exquisite telegraph presented by the
same firm to subscribers to Plymouth
PuIpit, which is weekl; pamphlet,
containing each Ntth u itcN.
Henry Ward Beecher, and is eagerly
read, alike by the admirers and oppo-
nents of that distinguished divine. The
subject of the picture is cross, old and
moss-grown, and wreathed with violets
and lilies of the valley. We have rarely
seen the central sentiment of the New
Testament so beautifully expressed by
a picture as in this tender but striking
sketch. It's value may be guessed from
the fact that in the picture stores it fire.

The canvassing agents for these two

JOHN SCRANTON,S HAT.

The other day writes a." Ziska from
Salt Lake City to the New York Sun
| ran against Mr. Charles Yeomans, an
old Californian, who is keeping res
taurant here. After listening to his
stories of the early days of San Francis
co, / said
Mr.. Yeomans, do you ever remem-
Der of meeting man named John X.
Hackett in San Francisco"
"John X. Hackett ?" repeated Mr..
Yeomans, Oh yes, [ recollect Hack
EFT, and George Barnard, and George
Wilkes, and George Butler, and John
Scranton of New Haven, and that whole
crowd. They were mighty lively fell
lows, all of them. Lem-me-see Tin a
musing way }? Lem-me-see Why,
Hackett S a Judge, or something of
that kind, i'll New York now. l seen a
fellow about six months ago that told
me he made first rate Judge-50 per
cent. gold, 40 per cent. silver, and 10
per cent. copper, Hackett was a won
derful shot-wonderful I've seen him
drive tacks in door-post at thirty feet,
and never miss a tack. All the BOYS
took off their hats to him. He could
shoot the toes eff of fly. That was a
great crowd-that crowd in California in
those days.
Here Mr.. Yeomans showed up his
shirt sleeves, and mixed a cocktail for
Major Gordon and Capt. Dinwiddle, of
Camp Douglas. After the cocktails had
disappeared, he continued
In those days, you see used to
keep place just outside of San Francis
co, called the Ocean House. 1 had a
partner. His name was Barnard-not
the Judge. 1t was-lem-me-see Pit
must have been, yes it was, in 1857
All the boys used to ride out and see us,
and the thing, first and last, PANIED out
a good deal of coin. 1t used to be a
great place for the high toned sports to
come out and shoot pigeon-matches
and eat these big California shrimp, and
play little draw, drink wine, and such
things"
Here Mr.. Yeomans showed up his
shirt sleeves, and mixed a cocktail for
Major Wheeler and the Hon. Sam Mer-
rift, ex-Delegate to Congress from
Idaho. After the cocktails had disap-
peared he continued
"Well, the Ocean House used to be a
great place of resort for the boys. They
were always playing practical Jokes on
each other and having good time gen
orally. / remember one morning there
was Cook and Schenck, the greatmarket-
men, Ward Eaton, and Ira Eaton in the
saloon and having ahigh old time, laugh
ing, drinking, and telling stories. Ira
Eaton had one of these here fancy
double barrelled shot guns under his
arm, and was Dragging about the game
he was going to shoot before night,
when who should come in but John
Hackett and John Scranton. You
oughter have knowed Scranton, for he
was one of the best fellows that ever
scratched gravel.
Here Mr.. Yeomans showed up his
shirt sleeves and mixed cocktails for the
Hon. Oscar G.. Sawyer, Mr.. Sloan, the
fve-wifededitoro of the Salt Lake Herald,
and Major Howell of Camp Douglas.

"Not quite. The internal muscle

AS the last rays of the setting sun
lighted up the face of that battered vet
eran, they shone upon two big tears
that slowly trickled down either cheek,
making miniature canals through the
dust that coated his epidermis. He
walked up the road until he was joined
by several more battered veterans, who
came out of corner of the fence. Two
of them bore a key, others carried
tin bucket, others had their arms full of
bottles.
"Have you got it, boys? % asked the
veteran to whom the Bible had been pre-
scented.
"All right. Ten gallons of peach
brandy, keg of apple jack, and ever
