Indifferent. When told him what I
wanted, his face glowed, his eyes
sparkled and he Strengthened him
self up like crested snake ready to
strike, rolled up his trousers up to
his tights, his sleeves to his shoulder
blades-to be as much OF a savage as
possible. He took his rifle, several
rounds OF ammunition, threw him
self on the grass before there was
any need Of it, and wound himself
along with the velocity and silence
OF a snake. Three shots brought the
sharp shooter down, when the scout
returned perfectly exhilerated.

mo plants should be watered when
the sun Is shining upon them.
This old saying is true, because it is
exceptional in nature. rather than the
rule, the evils being that the wetting
OF the foliage when the sun is power
full leaves drop or wet places upon
the leaves which being heated by
the runs rays cause the leaves to
spot or blister. and this more particu-
larly when the air is calm and the
water not dispersed by the move
ment OF the air. Further than this
its influences upon the plant Is not
good, as when the sun is powerful
the leaves are evaporating or exha-
ling, and the shock to this process by
the dashing over them OF cool water
is anything but salutary, as by
analogy, we may CLEAN from the seri-
Gus effects of cold shower on the
human body whilst perspiring freely.
Let IL be remembered that 1t Is i'm
possible 20 make the leaves inhale
when nature causes them to inhale
hence the watering Of plans over
head when the suns rays are power
ful is absurd: and as for watering
the ground during the middle OF the
day. it is like pouring it upon hot
plate so that it may the sooner be
evaporated, and every appearance OF
its use be the more speedily oblitera-

~One Of the most slovenly and dis
gusting practices that we know OF Is
chewing tobacco In church. and
places Of amusement, where ladies
are In attendance, yet there are
scores who do this week in and week
out. and at all times and places.
We have seen men and boys splitting
tobacco juice upon the carpet while
In church and during services, chew
ing their cud In such manner as to
forci bly, remind one OF cow al
eventide. We can go still farther
and point to those who sit in stores
and upon the dry goods boxes in the
streets, who squirt their tobacco all
over the floor and sidewalk in such q
quantity that ladies have to walk
clear around it or lift their dresses
in order to keep them from trailing
In this filth. Users OF the weed
think Of this. and see what an odious
practice this is, and be more careful

A miner, whom we will call Hughes
fell down Wine in one OF the Com
stock mines. several years ago and
was killed. His companions gathered
NY his remains and putting them in
an express wagon, started for his
home. Another miner, good heart
ed fellow. was sent on ahead to bear
the sad news to the bereaved family.
All the way along he was discussing
with himself as to how he should tell
the terrible story so as not TO crush
the unfortunate household; but he
reached the house before having set
tied definitely upon his plan. Meet
ing Mrs. Hughes at the door. Re ac-
costed her in the usual manner OF an
acquaintance, and then said:
where's George to-day, Mrs.
Hughes?"
Hes at work In the mine as usual,
thank you SIR" replied the woman.
"How is he feeling to-day?' was
the next question. The news-bearer
was becoming desperate. He was a
brave man, who would not have
feared a caving drift or delayed
blast, whose heart was so tender that
he did not know how to tell a woman
OF her husbands death.
With some show OF surprise, Mrs.
Hughes answered the last question,
About as well as he generally does,
/ believe.
The man was desperate and, not
knowing what to say, he blurted out;
I'll bet you ten dollars he's dead,
and here comes the body in a wagon.
He swallowed a big lump in his
throat and wiped piece OF porphyry
out OF his left eye with his shirt
sleeve. Afterward in talking the
matter over with his con- gaies, he
said ii was the greatest trial he had
ever experienced. and that hereafter
when a man was killed they might
call on somebody else to tell the
news.-Gold Hill (NeU9 Neacs.

An extraordinary case of juvenile
precocity has just come to light. A
lawyer of the city, returned yester-
day morning from q visit to Louis
vile, reports that at Terra Haute his
train took on a detective with two
little boys and two little girls in
charge. The boys appeared to be
abou: IL years old, and the girls
about year older. They are the
children of respectable parents re-
siding in this city, and were on their
way to New York for the purpose OF
getting married.
These two childish couples had
been Sparkling for some time, and
knowing the impossibility OF obtain
ing paternal consent to marry. con-
cluded to run away TO New York and
try their chances there. By hoard
ing their nickles for several weeks
they saved enough TO pay the fare OF
the party, and when everything was
in readiness. they boarded train at
the bridge on Friday afternoon, and
taking section OF sleeper. retired
when night came on. 1t was about
midnight when the train arrived at
Terre Haute, and then their slumbers
were rudely disturbed by an officer,
who took the quartette in charge and
putting them on the western bound
train escorted them to this city. The
boys were a good deal Disconnected
by the contratemps. but the girls
seemed rather Indifferent, and wil>

Hyt1rOullObia.

Another case was lately reported Of death
from the bite of dog but the attending
physician refused to call the disease hydro
phobia, although it was said all the symptoms
of hydrophobia were present except the dread
Of water. Cases of this sort naturally come
before the public in form in which the
nice distinctions of medical science may be
somewhat blurred; but if the statement
above made accurately represented the posi-
ticn of the doctor it cannot be thought
strange that the authorities were inclined
to require coroners inquest-to be dissat-

malady induced by the bite of dog, it is n

One Step Further, Mr.. Schurz.

Secretary Schurz is honest on the subject
of economy, and he proposes to commence
the work Of saving money at once. In April
and May the government contracts for sup
plies for the various departments of the
government and for the public services are
advertised, at cost of several hundred
thousand dollars annually. Secretary Schurz
proposes to establish au advertising bureau
attached to the Treasury or some other
department, whose business it shall be
to invite proposals for advertising from
the several newspapers, and contract
with the lowest bidders. But why adj
vertise in a newspaper Mt all? The
government contracts are taken by
persons who know just when they are
let and make o practice of bidding. There
are probably but few outside bidders, and
the most extensive advertising would only
