Life i'm the Black Hills.

Item from the Deadwood Times :.
"Curley and Mack, two well-known
miners of this vicinity, returned from
the Big Horn country last night. They
report passing large party of prospec-
tors, probably Wastam's, who went out
from the Hills under the guidance of o
man whose name cannot be ascertained,
but who was known as Charley. He
claimed to have diggings on Rotten
Grass that would yield 80 cents per pan.
Arriving at the place, he confessed to the
falsity of his statement, whereupon the
irate miners hung him to tree"
Extract from a letter from Custer
City: "While Henry Myers freighting
outfit with six men was camped twelve
miles south of here, they were visitedby
three men who cooked their dinner at the
campfire and made themselves 80
agreeable that all of the freighters except
the son of Myers gathered about them.
Young Myers was suspicious, and went
to one of the wagons where he got his
shotgun and remained away from the
party. During the conversation around
the campfire one of the strangers adj
mired a shotgun belonging to the
freighters and took it to examine it.
Suddenly he cooked and leveled it,
stepped between the freighters and their
arms, and ordered them to throw up
their hands, saying they would take
what money there was in the outfit. AT
this young Myers stepped from behind
the wagon and fred, the shot striking
the robber in the face and breast. The
robber wheeled and fred at him, but
missed. The robber then dropped the
gun and ran, firing at the party with his
revolver. One of the freighters shot at
him with a rifle, the ball striking him in
the arm. He fell, and soon after died.
The other two road agents fed, and
have not yet been captured"

An Iowa Community.

An obscure communistic society,
called Amana, occupies tract of fertile
land near Iowa City, and has ], 624 men,
bers. There are seven villages, and in
each boarding-house sufficient to ac-
commodate the population of the vii
lage. To these all the people go to get
their meals, the hour for which is given
by bell from central tower. There
are also laundries, where all washing
and ironing are done; so that no house
keeping really is done in the families.
which leaves the members to other de-
partments of labor, and every member
of the society has something to do. Once
in every year the executive officers mark
an annuity apportionment to each family
or single individual, which is to be for
use for that year for personal expenses.
There is in every village a store, in
which all kinds of goods are kept, and
which are delivered to members of the
society without profit record of each
persons purchases is kept, and at the
end of the year the amount is deducted
from the annuity, so that very little
money is used. If member withdraws
from the society, what he put in is re-
turned, without interest or increase. II
a member dies, and is the head of fam
lily, his share or interest in the society is
divided among his legal heirs, and placed
to their credit on the books of the socie-
ty. There are three physicians, whose
duty it is to visit the sick. Their medi-
cines and teams are supplied by the
society. So, also, schools are main
tanned.

Military Railway Building.

An interesting experiment was carried
out last month by a detachment of the
German railway regiment in order
to determine the rapidity with which a
line of rails could be laid down over
ground presenting considerable difficult
ties, and also to ascertain the rate at
which the work could be continued during
the night by the aid of electric and other
artificial lights. The portion of railroad
constructed led from the station of
Klausdorf to the summit of some ada
cent heights, rising fifty or sixty feet
above the starting point. Its length
was about /, ZOO PAGES, and the gradients
were, therefore, necessarily steep, In
some places being as high as one in
twenty. The work was begun at z
o'clock in the morning, and by midday
the rails were laid on the lower and
more level half of the road. In the even
ing the workmen were relieved by other
companies of the regiment arriving from
Berlin, and, although there was no moon,
the work was steadily continued.
Torches were employed where excava-
tons or embankments had to be made;
but where more accurate work had to be
executed or more difficult operations had
to be performed-as, for instance, where
rails had to be laid or aljusted-the
scene was illuminated by electric lights
arranged upon an elevated platform.
Shortly after midnight all the heavy
work was finished. In two or three
hours more the rails were finally adjust
ed, and in the morning the regiment re-
turned to Berlin. Pail Mall Gazette.

Texas Cattle Fever.

A recent communication from a num-
Der of leading cattle-dealers in st.
Louis indicates that experience and in
vestigation prove that Texas and Indian
cattle are entirely free from the disease
called the Texas or Spanish fever. Ma
tive cattle from the Northern States, on
being taken to Texas, are subject to the
same kind of sickness that prevails in
the North. Texas cattle can be allowed
among natives at any time during the
cold months without any danger what
ever to the latter, and it is only in the
extreme warm weather that this sickness
appears also, that this same or SINH
lar sickness will be produced by bring

Interrupted Table Talk.

The other evening the Rev. Mr.. Phi
lacter sat down to the tea-table with O
very thoughtful air, and attended to the
wants of his brood in a very abstracted
manner. Presently he looked up at his
wife and said:
"The Apostle Paul -"
SCOT an awful lump on the head SAT-

son, "playing baseball. Bat flew out

expressive pantomime, as he tenderly

paused for the interruption, and re-
sumed:
"The Apostle Paul -"
"Saw Mrs. O'Gheminie down at Green

daughter, addressing her mother. "She

The good minister waited patiently,
and then, in tones just shade louder
than before, said

Henry and Ben, pop, and stepped on a

"cut my feet so can't wear my shoe;
and, please, can't stay home to-mor-

The pastor informed his son that he
might stay away from the river, land then
resumed his topic. He said:
"The Apostle Paul says"
"My teacher is an awful liar" shout
ed the second son; "he says the world is
as round as an orange, and it turns round
all the time faster than q circus man

The mother lifted warming finger
toward the boy and said, Ssh !" and the
father resumed:
"The Apostle Paul says"
Don't bite off twice as much as you
can chew" broke out the eldest boy, re-
proving the assault of his little brother
on a piece of cake. The pastors face
showed just trife of annoyance, as he
said in very firm, decided tones:
"The Apostle Paul says"
"There's a fly in the butter p
shrieked the youngest hopeful of the
family, and general laugh followed.
When silence was restored the eldest
daughter, with an air of CURIOSITY, said
"Well, but, pa, 1 really would like to
know what the Apostle Paul said"
"Pass me the mustard" said the pas
tor, absently.
Then the committee rose and the Sen
ate went into executive session, and
soon after adjourned. - Burlington

Hold On, Boys.

Hold on to your tongue when you are
just ready to swear, lie, or speak harsh
ly, or use an improper word.
Hold on to your hand when you are
about to pinch, strike, scratch, steal, or
do any improper act.
Hold on to your feet when you are on
the point of kicking, running away from
study, or pursuing the path of error or
crime.
Hold on to your temper when you are
angry, excited or imposed upon, or 9TH
ers are angry with you.
Hold on to your heart when evil asso-
ciates seek your company and invite
you to join their mirth, games and
revelry.
Hold on to your good name at all
times, for it is of more value than gold,
high places, or fashionable attire.
Hold ON to truth, for it will serve you
well, and do you throughout eternity.
Hold on to virtue-it is above all price
to you, in all times and places.
Hold on to your good character, for
it is and will ever be your best wealth.

it. The door stood open little on its
silken hinges, and he could see that it,
with the nest, was lined with the same
pale blue silk. "Ill look in and see If
my friends are at home," he said. He
lifted the trap-door with his stick, when
whew Out came old Lady Spider
with the whole family at her heels, who
ran in every direction. The old lady
jumped right at Roberts face, and if
he hadn't sprung away pretty lively he
would have been bitten. He screamed
as he did so. His mother, who was
near the top of the bill, heard him, and
came hurrying to see what was the
matter. Robert was brave little fell
low, and he didn't run away. Just
as the spider was going to give another
spring, his mother threw her veil over it
and made it prisoner The young spi-
ders had all disappeared in the loose
soil, but one wee bit of thing, which
didn't seem to know what to do with it
self. Robert took it up in his handker-
chief.
"Pve got the baby" he shouted in an
excited tone.

said his mother, sit is tarantula. They
often bite the sheep and cattle. Let us
see if we can't find some more of the
family" So they moved the stones and
gravel and found three others. Robert
wanted to find Mr.. Tarantula, but his
mother told him it was no use to hunt
for him, for Madam did not allow him
to live in the same nest with the rest
of her family, because he had an I'M
pleasant way of eating the young ones
when he was hungry. Then Robert
dug out the nest, which was large one.
He kept the tarantulas several weeks in
a glass jar, covered with netting. AS
the little ones grew larger they re-
quired great many flies and grass
hoppers, thus becoming troublesome
so Robert killed them all without pain,
using chloroform, and put them into a
cabinet with his other insects. -Ne,O

Is Life a Mode OF Motion !

1t can be demonstrated that motion is
all-pervading; that absolute rest is in
conceivable, and that in whatever form
motion may appear, whether as motion
or as light, heat, chemical affinity, mag
netism or electricity, all are but phases
of but one and the same great force
Science, however, does not stop with the
enunciation of this truth, but, following
the same pathway onward, isnow brought
face to face with the greatest problem
within the ken of human conception, the
question of the nature of life itself.
There is something startling and over
whelming in the recognition of the fact
that perhaps the greatest scientific minds
on earth are keenly pressing forward
toward the resolution of the mystery, not
as spectators or dogmatists, nor as meta
physical advancers of abstract hypothe-
ses but, progressing step by step, prov
ing and reproving, leaving no by-path
unexplored, no thread loose or weak in
the wonderful fabric of facts which are
slowly being interviewer. If Bastian
and the believers in spontaneous genera
ton are right, then life is the legitimate
consequence of chemical affinity, for they
claim to have substantiated by the clear
est experimental proof that organisms in
certain solutions previously free from life
are due wholly to the proper chemical
composition of such solutions. If this
be true, then life must stand in the same
category as heat and light and other Sc
quences of chemical affinity-it is mode
of motion into which other modes of mo-
ton are convertible, and reciprocally it
would follow that life itself is transform
able into other phases of the all-pervad-
ing force. -,Scientifc american.

Why We Won.

The controversy between breech-load-
ers and muzzle- leaders may be consid-
cred decided in favor of the former. The
British loaded in the Rigby style, never
wiping out their muzzle-loaders, but
pushing down upon the powder close
ly-fitting disk of tough felt, saturated
with oil, which is expected to take along
in going down and being fired out all the
residuum and foulness in the barrel.
That it cannot do 80 is evident to any
one who will make the experiment in a
breech loader. The American rifemen
wipe out the breech-loader after each
shot till the bore becomes as bright as
silver. In the second place, three of the
British team lie prone on their breasts
in firing. That attitude has been aban-
doned by the Americans, who have
proven that lying upon the back or side
gives a much firmer position. In the
third place, the British riflemen-or
English, Irish and Scotch-have not
trained together as much as the Ameri-
cans, and are not as well acquainted
with each others peculiarities, and are
not in the habit Of exchanging sugges-
tons, informations and opinions every
moment, or as freely and cordially as the
Americans do. The latter had better
coaches-the veteran rifemen Bodine,
Hepburn and Conlin, who sat close by
all day giving occasional advice with a
reassuring calmness and good judgment
that must have been useful. And, lastly,
American rifiemen believe that the I
have made and can make better rifles
than anybody in Great Britain, and
something is due to that. American
rifles have won four splendid victories in
four years-Gen. HaUley, in the
Hartford COurdnt.

Roberts Tarantulas.

On one of the tops of range of high
hills, which belong to the Coast noun
tains, is an old redwood tree, surround
ed by shrub-oak. At distance it looks
like an open umbrella standing on box.
1t is a noted landmark and can be seen
for many miles. About half way down
this hill was little house, built by
ranchmen, who herded sheep on the
hillsides. After while it was occupied
by gentleman and his family from the
neighboring city, who came to pass the
summer there. 1t waS mere shell,
built (after the fashion of the early Cali
fornia dwellings, of boards, lined with
cloth, the walls covered with paper, and
the cloth ceilings whitewashed, so
that it looked very much like
a plastered house. Such buildings are
sometimes called lighthouses" Rob-
ert mother hung muslin curtains at the
windows, and the straw mating, with
bright rugs, gave it a very pretty appear
ance. Climbing roses and other vines
covered the outside. so that it was
very sweet-looking little cottage to pass
the summer in. There is always breeze
sweeping over the hills, and the umbrella
tree was favorite resort on warm days.
Robert, who was about 8 years old,
passed the day with his mother, his
father and elder brother coming from
the city at night and returning
in the morning. One hot after
noon he went to the umbrella
tree, his mother telling him that she
would soon follow. He laid down on a
rock, shaded by the trees, watched the
ships, as they sailed in and out of the
Golden Gate, looked at Tamalpais loom
ing mp, on the other side of the bay, got
up and sat down several times; looked
at the ships again, at the landslide on
Tamalpais; which seemed to hang like a
thread of light from the top of the
mountain, and wished a great many
times that his mother would come.
Presently, he saw large spider carry
ing grasshopper in the two sharp hooks
that came out from each side of its
mouth. It passed very near Robert,
who kept perfectly still. II was covered
with hair; the back was grayish- brown,
and it had on whitish shirt-front. II
walked on eight legs, and in front of
these were two shorter ones, which the
spider used to hold the grasshopper
more firmly in carrying it over the
ground. The hair, covering its face, was
so long Robert could not see it's eyes,
but he knew that it must have ssverpl.
He had never seen so largea spider be-
fore; the body was nearly two inches
long. suppose it must seem strange
to some people that he should have
thought it pretty, but he had never
been taught to think that spiders were
"horrid and "hideous. The spider
went the whole length of strip of sand
then disappeared in hole under 9
large stone. Robert thought he would
dig it out, to put it with his collection Of
