A WoMAN's CURIOSITY A New
York paper says: "Two ladies called at
the house OF one Of our well known ply
sicians. While one Of them was consult
ing the physician in his private Office,
the other, prompted by curiosity, or some
kindred impulse, proceeded 10 invosti-
gate the contents of a large case Of bottles,
jars, ETC., in the outer Office. Between
the two apartments was a glass door,
over which was a paper shade, which,
was torn across one corner so that it was
possible to see from one room into the
other. Hearing Il rattling among the
bottles, the physician stepped to the glass
door and looked through to see what was
going on. He discovered the lady in the
act Of taking down one bottle after an
other, and smelling of the contents there
Of. AT length she got hold of something
that evidently pleased her ollactories.
She continued smelling, and each time
it was more apparent that she was more
lltNStu lllull uclOIt. Nlle NlGn poured
some of the liquid into her hand and
smelled again. This time her entire sat
islaction with the result of her investiga-
tions was evident, and she hastily rub
bed the liquid upon her nose and por-
ton Of her face contiguous thereto, re-
placed the bottle and took her seat, rs
she heard a rustling in the inner room,
indicating that the consultation was at
an end, and that the consulting parties
were returning. The physician knowing
what the result would be, detained the
ladies in conversation for several minutes.
Before the end Of that time, as the lady
sat near the stove, her nose and portions
Of her face began to turn deep olive
color, and before she departed they had
assumed a beautiful dark brown. She
had mistaken the doctors fayoritc hair
dye for pertumery. She will be an in
valid, and will not receive calls for n
week to come"

The WRoNG SuoEs.-A Nashville pa
per gives tho following sample Of social
amenities In that section: A Nashville
youth asked bis sweetness to go out TO
somo entertainment with him last week,
but sho declined, on the ground that her
shoes were ont Of repair whereupon the
young man offered TO have them mended
il she would send them around next day.
A lady friend who overheard the conver-
sation secured wcll-worn pair Of bro
gans belonging to her colorcd cook and
had them conveyed to the enamored
young man early the next morning. The
latter was astounded, as he had been un-
der the impression that this Dulcina was
the possossor Of the neatest foot in Nash
Vile (or n pair Of them for that matter)
but brayely concealing his feelings OF
disappointment he took them to the near
est shoemaker and left them, with re-
quest that they should be mendcd. After
the shoes had been repaired, tho young
fellow escorted them to the home OF the
dear one Of his heart, expecting to be
overwhelmed with thanks. On the con-
trarv, haitian hour of glib talking on his
part was required in order to convince
the young lady that he had no intention
ofinsutiug her.

a STUDY FOR BRET HARTE.-Passing
over one Of the elevations, my compan-
ion pointed out on our left n narrow val
ley, through which a elussish strrHm
among the thick willow brush. "That
is place." said he, 60 shall never for
get, for there it was we fit the Injuns in
the biggest kind Of fight. They am
bushed us in them willows. Every shot
Of 'em ted on some of us, and we could
not git at 'cm, they was slowed away so
close in the brush. We lost twenty men,
but we finally drove 'cm. / tell you it
was worse than fighting wish bars ! just
AS the scrimmage was about over, poor
Gus Mellish was shot down close by me.
l knowcd Gus well. Wed been part
ners in Calilorny. lie was one Of the
best lelers | ever knowcd, and we was
always gettn' sells on one another. But
Gus got the heaviest thing on me when
he died AS soon rs he was shot, | see
he was a goner. ! helped him up on the
bank, and eascd him of all | could, say
in over all the Bible | knowed, and
promisin to give his watch and his gun
to bis folks. But Gus wanted me to
agree to send him 70 Frisco, whore his
folks lived. 50 l promised, and he died
happy. Well, buried him on the spot
temporary. Three years after, when |
ca'alated he was about eat up, went
for his bones. Now, what do you think
Gus had been and gone and done? Why
as he was buried in alkali, he'd gone and
turned himself into solid stone, and then
he expected me TO pay freight on him all
the way to Frisco did it, though, bat
that was the last load Gus ever got on
me ~ When JEFF. had concluded this
touching reminisccnce Of his departed
friend, he stopped his horse and took a
drink to his memory.-1raCeis in Utah

A SEA ABOVE THE SKY.-This belief
is curiously illustrated by two legendary
stories, preserved by Gervase of Tlbury.
Ono Sunday, rs the people of village
in England were coming out of church,
on thick, cloudy day, they saw the an
chor of a ship hooked to one of the tomb
stones, the cable, which was tightly
stretched, hanging down from the air
The people wero astonishcd, and whilo
they were consulting about it, suddenly
they saw the rope move, as though some
one were pulling at the anchor.
The anchor, however, still held fast to
the stone, and a great noiso was suddenly
heard in the air like the shouting Of sail
ors. Presently n sailor was seen sliding
down the cable for the purpose Of unix-
ing the anchor, and when he had just
loosened it the villagers seized hold Of
him, ard, while in their hands, he quick
ly died, just o- though he had been
drowned About an hour after, the sail
rade, cut thccablc and ,aicd away. In
memory of this extraordinary event, the
people OF the village made the hinges Of
the church doors out Of the iron of the
anchor and they are still to be seen.
At another time II merchant Of Bristol
set sail with II cargo for Ireland. Some
time after this, while the family were Mt
supper, knife suddenly fell in the win
dow on the table. When the husband
returned he saw the knife, declared it to
be his own, and said that on certain
day, at such an hour, while sailing in an
unknown part Of the sen, he dropped the
knife overheard. and the day and ho"'
were known to be exactly the time when
the knife fell through the window.
These incidents, Gervnsc thinks, arc a
proof Of there being IA seaaboyc, hanging
over us.

A MoNsTRoUs RuINocEpos.-Thc N.
Y. SIM, Of recent date, says: son Wed
day the largest black rhinoceros ever ex-
hbitcd in the world was added to the
collection Of wild beasts in Bnrnum's
IIippodromr. This enormous mountain
Of flesh weighs $500 pounds. This is
2,20O pounds more than the largest rhi-
noccros in the Geological Gardens in
London. His body is encascd in heavy
lcather-liIl hide, which ovcrIaps at the
joints, making folds nearly two inches
thick. His legs are short and stumpy,
and his tail resembles Tie backsnakcs
used By team tors in the Western coun-
try. lIi- head covered with the same
thcli hide which ouvcop- his body, and
upon his forehead and about his eyes and
ears it is piled up like plates. The ami
NAL had a large sharp horn, which pro-
jectcd from bis nout just above his nos
trils, but the monsters head was chained
down, and, in spite Of his angry snorts
and cndeayors TO get away, this horn
was sawed off close TO his snout. A cage
upon wheels was made on purpose for
the rhinoccros' accommodation. 1t is
heavily barred with steel upon the sides
and front. His head is chained to stout
beam, and heavy oak plank prevents his
backing. There is barely room for the
rhnoceros to stand and lie in. If he wa.
given more space his immense strength
would enable him 70 break from all re.
straint, and the havoc he would make j
loose may be imagined but cannot be cs
timated. His immense weight may b,
realize from the fact that when the cago
containing him was drawn into the Hip
pdromo, the wheels crushed through th,
flooring ;nmany places to the depth o
from TWO to three inches"

the boy answered that he took to it tC
