ANEoDoTE OF GARRIcK. When Gar
rick was in Paris, Preville, the colebrat-
ed French actor invited him to his villa,
and, being in gay humor, he proposed
to go in one of the hired coaches that
regularly piled between Paris and Yer
sailles, on which road Preville's villa
was situated. Wnen they got in, Gar
rick ordered the coachman TO drive on,
but the driver answered that he could
not until he had got his complement of
passengers. A caprice Immediately
seized Garrick. He determined to give
his brother player specimen of his art
While the coachman was attentively
looking out for passengers, Garrick
slipped out at the opposite door, went
round the coach, and BY his wonderful
command of facial expression, palmed
himself off upon the coachman as o
stranger. This he did twice, and was
admitted into the coach each time as a
fresh passenger, TO the astonishment
and admiration Of Prcville. Garrick
slipped out third time and addressed
himself to the coachman who said in q
surly tone, that he had 'got his compile
ment." He would have driven of with
out Garrick, had not PreYille called out
that as the stranger appeared to be q
very little man, they would accommo-
date the gentleman and make room for
him.-Once Week.

posei crime was even hooted in his ears
a. he passed through the public streets.
Thus he passed eleven years OF his life,
waiting patiently for his vindica'ion.
His loss sf character hal brought with
1t loss Of property. and he became re-
duced almost TO beggary.
Thus matters stood until the early
part Of October. 1867, when n man.
clothed in the garb Of a sailor. made his
appearance in the village Of Plattsburg
and inquired for Captain John Weather
wax. The latter was just then entering
the post-ofiicc. where considerable
crowd had collected, and was pointed
out to the inquiring stranger. He
made his way toward him, laid his
hand familiarity upon his shoulder, and
exclaimed:
How are you, John
John looked at him for moment in
bewilderment, gave easuppressed scream,
and replied:
Great Heaven! has it come at last ,"
Turning to the crowd, he said:
Gentlemen, my vindication has at
last come. For eleven years 1 have
borne your reproaches in silence, hop
ing and praying for this hour. This is
my cousin Andrew, for whose supposed
murder / have suffered punishment
many times worse than death
For short time there was a disposi
ton to regard the newcomer as an i'm
postor who had been brought forward
to relieve Captain Weatherwax of the
disgrace that had attacked to him. But
his identity was soon established beyond
question.
The account which Andrew gave of
himself was that he left the boat on that
eventful evening after the quarrel, wan
dered into q rum shop q short distance
from the landing, became engaged in a
fight, and was arrested. In the morn
ing he was brought before a magistrate
and fined, but having no money, and be-
ing still angry with his cousin, he would
not go to him for aid, and was on the
point Of being taken to Jail, when a
stranger came forward and offered to
pay his fine if he would engage to sail
with him, his vessel then lying at Mon
treal. He consented, and the next day
they sailed for China; for eleven years
he had followed the sea. and never once
communicated with his relatives. He
now heard for the first time that one of
them had suffered on his account.
The matter of the blood and his hat,
which, it will be remembered, was found
on the deck, he explained by saying
that he had had the nose-bleed during
the day, and that some of the blood had
probably fallen on the deck; the hat he
tossed upon the deck when he decided
to go out in the evening, taking better
one in its stead.
The Identification of the body found,
the quarrel, the blow, and the voice of
Weatherwax heard during the alterca-
ton, are mysteries never explained.

ONE Coon TURN DESERVES ANOTHER.
"A tinker was travelling in a country
town, and, having trayersed many miles
without finding anything to do, he
stopped, weary and hungry, at a tavern.
Here he got into conversation with a
glazier, to whom he related his troub-
les. The latter sympathized with him
deeply, and, telling him he should have
q job before long, advised him to go to
his dinner and eat heartily. The tink-
er took his advice, ate heartily, and,
when he returned to the bar-room, be
was overioyed to hear that the landlord
required his services to mend lot of
pans and kettles which had suddenly
g sprung a leak" The tinker was at
once set to work, accomplished the task,
received liberal sum in payment, and
started on his way rejoicing. Upon
reaching the outside OF the house he
found the glazier, who said . Well,
you see told you the truth. I pro-
cured you q job and how do you think
not tell, " replied the tinker. will
tell you, reioined the glazier You
told me you were weary, hungry and
dinnerless. knew the landlord was
well off, and doing good business,
and SO 7 watched the opportunity and
started leak in. every utensil 1 could
get hold Of" The tinker, with many
thanks and a heart full Of gratitude,
resumed his journey. But he had not
proceeded many yards before he reached
the village church, when brilliant
idea struck him-the Qlaz;er had be-
friended him /; he would befriend the
glazier. The church, he thought, could
afford to bear slight loss in a good
cause so, taking up a position where
he could not be seen, he riddled most
of the windows in the edifice with
stones, and then, highly elated with his
exploit, he retraced his steps to notify
the glazier he would speedily have a
very important job. Glaler," said
he, / am happy to inform you that for

How so ?" asked the glazier, pleasant

tinker, "and you, of course, will be
employed to put them in again" The
glazier's jaw fell. and his face assumed

tremulous tone, You don't mean that,

tinker there's not whole pane of

about three inches of earth, then layer OF
cedar bark, then another layer of dirt,
then o carpet of some kind Of coarse grass.
The rooms that have been protected from
exposure are whitew ashed, and the walls
are ornamented with drawings and writ
ings. In one of these rooms the impress
sion of hand dipped IN whitewesh on q
joist is as plain as If it had been done only
yesterday. In another room there are
drawings Of tarantulas, centipedes, horses,
and men.
In some of the rooms have been found
human bonea, bones of sheep, corn cobs,
goods, raw hides, and all colors and varie-
ties of pottery ware. These two large
buildings are exactly the same in every
respect. Portions of the bnildings plainly
show that they were destroyed by fire, the
timbers being burned off and the roofs
caved in, leaving the lower rooms entirely
protected. The rock that these buildings
were built of must have been brought
long way, as nothing to compare With 1t
can be found within q radius of twenty
miles. All the timber used is cedar, and
has been brought at least twenty five
miles. Old bitches and roads are to be
seen in every direction.
The Navajo Indians say, in regard to
these ruins, that their fOrefathers came
there fl We old mems ages ago 500 years,) and
that these ruins were here, and the same
then as now, and there is no record what
ever of their origin.

HEROIC ORIGIN OF THE NAME Of SMITH -
Referring to MIR, Hoods article in the Leisure
Hour on "the Great Smith Family" "One of
the Family" observes that Mr.. Hood errc-
neously assumes that the innumerable Smiths
are descended from workers in metal, the fact
being that the great majority of the vast mnl-
titudes of Smiths are descended from soldiers,
or. in Saxon phrase, 'smiters," on men rather
than metals This fact, it ia argued, accounts
for their numbers nexplicable on any other
theory.

Lake City, Col, May Prof. Hayden
has given southwestern Colorado new in
terest by discovering and describing the
ancient ruins in that section, and in south
western Utah. The stories told aboat
these ruins are very interesting. The fer
tile valley of the Animas was deneely in
habited and highly cultivated by an en-
lightened race Ofpsople centuries ago. The
ruins of the houses, corrals, towns, fortii-
cations, bitches, pottery ware, drawiDgs,
non-interpretable writings, Sc, show that
many arts were cultivated by these prehis
| torio people which are now entirely lost.
Their houses were built of most every
kind of stone, from small boulders to the
| finest sandstone.
The finest of these ruins, and the nearest
perfect, are situated about thirty five
miles below Animas City, in large valley
| fifteen miles long by seven wide, on the
west side Of the river. This valley mas
been covered with buildings of every size,
the two largest being 300 by 600 feet,
and about 800 feet apart. They are built
of small blocks of sandstone, laid in adobe
mud, the outside walls being four feet,
and the inside walls from foot and a half
to three feet thick. In the lower story are
found portfolios foot square. There are
rooms now left and walls for about four
stories high still standing. About the
second story, on the west side, there was
cnce balcony along tie length of the
building. No sigas of door are visible in
the outer walls, and the ingress must have
been from the top, in the inside there
being passages from room to room. Most
of them are email, from s by 10 to IL by IA
feet, the doors being2 by 4 feet. The
arches over the doors and portfolios are
made of small cedar poles two inches wide,
placed across, on which the masonry ia
placed. The sleepers supporting the floors
are of cedar, about eight inches thick, and
from 90 to so feet long, and about three
feet dpart. A layer OF small round poles
