They Would not Light.

They tell this story of Ralph Waldo
Emerson: His best thoughts were apt
to strike him after he had gone to bed.
Once calmly resigned to rest, ready for
dreams, sparkling notions began to fit
through his brain He knew if he did
not catch them then, they would vanish
never to return; so up he gets, strikes
a light, and makes his nocturnal notes.
One night the philosopher had risen
from, his bed, and was cropping around
in the dark for a card of misplaced
matches His hand at length came in
contact with his wife's clabOrately cary
ed tortoise-shell comb, which he mis-
took for a card of lucifers. One after
another ne snapped away the teeth, try
ing to light them on the wall, until not
one was left. His loud and emphatic
mutterings of disappointment aroused
Mrs. Emerson. .-..-
- What on earth, husband, are you
doing there in the dark?'
"Only thought that | had in my
mind, my love y
But the thought bad fled, and still in
the dark he went back TO bed.
In the morning Mrs. E. found that
her husbands fugitive thought had been
an expensive one for her-having cost
her her best comb, but she could not
find it in her heart to scOld.

Ole Bull on the Pyramids.


Ole Bull declined to be assisted in his
ascent of the Cheops Pyramid, but he
had his precious violin carried in its
case by two brawny Bedouins, who
went before him. Though 66 years old
Bull climbed to the top in less than 20
minutes. The company struggled up
to his side, and one of them writes alt
sounded like an outburst of Joy when
he suddenly began to play, as it were,
a solemn gratitude to the fates that had
vOuchsafed him TO stand there, and with
his own eyes behold this magnificent
picture, the goal of so many thousand
wishes. Then he turned toward the
north, his homes zone, and began to
execute his own mountain song.
Scarcely arrived at Cairo, he telegraph
ed to the King of Sweden, and the next
forenoon arrived the royal reply. The
kilograms were as. follows: $40 King
Oscar, Christiana: According to my
promise at Drottingholm, l played on
this, my Goth birthday, on the top of

YOU heartily for your telegram, and the
Queen and myself are rejoiced at all

How q Dog Interrupted a Prayer.

An amusing incident occurred in one
of our village churches or a recent
evening. The pastor is proprietor of a
large, bright-looking Newfoundland
dog, which, among other traits, has a
remarkable fondness for his master, and
occasionally comes around when he is
not wanted. On the evening in question
the dog followed his master to the church,
to which he was not admitted by the
minister, but sent home, as that gentle
man supposed. But if the dog went
home he did not stay there, for, after
the meeting had been begun some time,
late conner made his appearance, and
on his entry the dog, watching his op-
portunity, slipped in also and made at
once for his master, who at time was on
his knees, engaged in prayer. But the
dog, without any regard to the fitness
of things, at once leaped on his back,
much to the amusement of the worldly
minded who chanced to see the affair.
The good man jumped as though he
had discovered a hornets nest in the
floor beneath him. That dog was taken
by the long hair of the neck, and instead
of kicking him as no doubt many of the
spectators would have done under the
circumstances, he quietly led the "an-
imile " to the door and left him on the
outside. And, returning, the parsOn
resumed his prayer where he left off as
if nothing had happened to disturb the
gravity of the occasiOn.-GeneUd (OhiO)
Times.

A Warming TO Bathers.

1t has long been known that it is in
iudiciOus for any one to 90 into water
to bathe Just after eating a full meal,
but it is not so well known that the
practice may result in death. This lat
ter fact seems to have been demon
strated by the recent death in a bath in
Bristol, England, Of a boy thirteen years
old. He mad never had q fit, and is be-
lieyed to have been in perfect health.
When found in the water the crown Of
his head was just above the surface,
and he was standing in a STOPPING po-
sition, with his face. just under the
water At the place where he was the
water was only three feet four inches
deep, while the boys height was four
feet nine inches. The temperature Of
the water was 79 degrees. The medi-
cal testimony disclosed the fact that the
deceased had eaten heartily just before
entering the water, or at least he had
not given his food time to digest. He
had vomited large quantity of food,
and when found his mouth and throat
were full. The opinion was expressed
in the medical testimony, and indOrsed
by the verdict of the jury, that death
resulted from epilepsy, brought on by
the dangerous practice of entering the
water Immediately after eating meal.

A Wonderful Tree in Mexico.

About two miles from the City of
Mexico, at little place called La Cuba,
is the old tree known in history as No
che Triste. under the branches of which,
tradition has it, Cortes gathered togeth-
er his little remnant of men on the sad
night he was attacked by the Aztecs and
driven from the city. 1t is at least a
remarkable old tree, and worth the ride
to see for itself. 1t is a cypress, of a
variety that grows to an immense size
in this part of Mexico. 1t is more than
a thousand years old, and about 10 feet
through at its base, and is gnarled and
twisted in a wonderful way 1t en-
larges above, so at 10 feet from the earth
it is II feet in diameter. At 20 feet it
divides into two immense trunks. Fire
was put to Il few years since, and the
inner portion and largest upper trunk
mostly burned away. The lesser trunk
and shell will, however, live for ages.
Three years ago the Mexican Govern
ment put a handsome stone and iron
fence around it,so :hat- no Vandal hand
can now touch it. Perhaps no object
about the city has for the reader Of
Prescott a greater charm than the old
tree of Noche Triste.-CiHcinr1att En-

A Stewart Monument.

Mrs. A. T. Stewart and Judge Hilton
have arranged to build q splendid Epis-
copalian memorial church to Mr.. Stew
art in the finest quarter OF Garden City,
Long Island, the church to be both
tomb or mausoleum for, Mr.. Stewards
remains, and monument TO his MEM
ory. The structure is'to be church
for the parish and to be used as such
by all who wish to attend it. The re-
mains of Mr.. Stewart will be removed
to it, and buried in a vault connected
with it. The building. viii be sur
rounded by grounds some 200 feet
square, which will be ornamented with
trees, shrabbery, and flowers, and would
be as attractive as nature and art can
make them. A handsome parsonage
viii be built on the grounds.

Thrilling Experience Of a Returned
Black -Hillers

Says the Denver NeJCS: James F.
Butcher, one of Boulder's former mer-
chants, has just returned from the'Black
Hills, where he has been since the 1st
of March. He reports the Indian situ-
alton in that country as simply fearful.
Himself and party left DeadwOOd on
the last of April, bound for Custer City.
They encamped 20 miles the other side
of Custer, and the next morning, after
driving Ii miles, they found the rem
nants of two wagons, with the goods
they contained scattered over the
prairie, and three dead bodies lying
near by. One of the bodies his party
recognized as that of Ed. Gill, former
resident of Boulder. Five or six pas
sengers were with the Gill party, on
their way to Sand and Potato Greeks.
About three miles from where the train
was attacked, three more dead bodies
were found, horribly mutilated.
When they arrived at Custer 9 large
party was formed to come out, consist
ing of about 80 men and one woman.
On their first day out, some 10 miles
from Custer, they heard firing ahead
and Just over hill. Their arms were
prepared for instant use, and in few
moments they saw 10 teams on the dead
run, accompanied by a party of some
so men, under the leadership of Nelson
Sargent, formerly of Denver The first
fire from the Indians brought down
John Leggett, late of Pulaski County,
Ky, who was scalped and robbed with
in 10Oyards of Sargent'S gallant COM
mand of squaw men. Our informant
states that during the Sargent retreat
an Indian brave singled out loose horse
and gave him rapid chase, almost
abreast of the flying train, to which the
horse headed from fear of the Indian.
The brave finally gave up the task OF
turning the horse, but rendered him
useless to the whites by shooting him
dead. At the sight of the Custer party
the Indians scattered in the low timber
and among the gulches, so that pursuit
was not prudent, even if 1t were deslr-
able.
The route between Custer and the
Deadwood country is, according to
Butchers account, fairly swarming with
small bands of hostile Indians, who
have thoroughly broken up any attempts
at mining. The number of men report
ed killed is too Creator particular men
ton, but in a company of 40, on their
way from Custer. to the Bear Lodge
country, % deaths occurred. This num-
Der is given by a man who escaped the
party, and was making his way out Of
the Hills.
A dispatch from Fort Laramie, dated
May II, brings news of the killing Of j.
C.. Sanders, a prominent citizen OF
Cheyenne, few days before, on Sand
Greek. Two other men were Killed at
the same time and place, SO that our re-
turned Boulderite is not unsupported in
his statement of the dangers of the road
The telegraph has also informed us Of
Gen. Crooks close shave, and Of the
murder of Charles Clark, the maiI-car-
rier between Fort Fetterman and Red
Cloud. The killing of Leggett is attest
ed by dispatches from Cheyenne to the
Louisville press.

A Lady Who Was Not at Home.

A lady of this place was quietly at
her sewing one day last week, when she
observed a neighbor approaching the
house, whom she did not care to see.
She quietly dropped her work and
stepped into closet so as not "to be
at home" to her caller. The closet
door closed with a spring and imprisOn-
ed the lady. The caller, finding the
lady absent, did not stop, but when the
lady tried to open the door she diseov-
cred, alas, that she was prisoner.
The lady realized that she was consum-
ing the air very fast, yet she was pow
erless to release herself from her prison.
She remained in the closet about four
hours, and when her husband returned
home at supper time he missed his wife,
but thought nothing about it. Having
occasion to look into the closet, he dis
covered his wife lying insensible on the
floor de quickly withdrew her mani
mate form, when the air revived her,
and thus was prevented what few
hours longer might have proved sad

Feeding at the Centennial.

After the public official ceremonies
were over, there was a general stam-
pede. The next thing on the pro-
gramme was evidently the eating, and
that part of the programme was car
ried out with surprising unanimity OF
purpose. By ? O'Clock the American
restaurant had consumed $500 pounds
of butter, II whole sheep and coo
pounds of beef. No wonder there was
no butter left for me, or that the wait
ers were running about like hens with
their heads cut off. / hear that a gen.
tleman from Boston disputed a bill for
SS for chicken salad, alone, for six
people, but finally compromised with
the waiter for 81 so. Another one paid
$3.50 for an iee-cream.-COr. Ctnci''-

A Man Whose Heart is not in the Right
t5 Place. n 9 .t

A singular case has been developed
at Auburn, Ky. Young Grider Perkins,
son of l. 0. Perkins, of that place, has
been in feeble health for some time in
Louisville. Recently he came down to
his fathers, and, shortly after reaching
there, was taken sick and had several
hemorrhages of the lungs. DIR. Hatchet,
who was called on to attend him, found,
upon examination, that his heart had
left its natural abiding-place on the left
side of the thorax and was located on
the right. Its pulsations are most per-
ceptibly felt under the right nipple.
The case is not new one to the medi-
cal fraternity, but its occurrence is so
rare that but few ever see it, and the
causes which produce it are yet a mys-
tery.-Elkt0n Ky } Witness.

PUNGENT PARAGRAPHS.


AT thissseason, the question which
interests boy is not so much whether
his life will be crowned, with glory and
honor as whether his new summer vest
is going to be made out of his fathers

A GIRL should never be asked why
she does not marry. The "why'' is her
business. One young lady, hard press
ed by her mother, said, '' l am not un-
willing to be married; but where is the
proper man? You can not expect me to
go out and lasso a husband"

once used to compel from the men,

with a string.

THE original Declaration of Inde-
pendence was viewed in Philadelphia a
on Monday by not less than 5000 per-
sons. Many of the signatures have
been made almost illegible by the pro-
cess of taking fac SMILES. Hancock s
name is dim, but distinct. The sigma
lures of jefferson. Franklin, Morris and
others have entirely disappeared. The
best preserved signatures are those of
Sherman, Paine and Hopkins. 1t is
thought that the lost signatures might
be restored by some chemical process.
