Mark Twain and the Piutes.

The Eureka Republican tells about
Mark Twain's lecture in Dayton, Ne
vada, some years ago. His agent used
to get up an excitement about the lee
ture by building bonfire before the
hall and sending fife and drum through
the streets half hour before the be-
ginning of the entertainment. He did
tits in Dayton, then atiourishing camp
and the Piutes naturally got the impress
sion that some kind of an exciting show
was to be given, so the chief tackled the
enterprising agent on the subject of half
price admissions, and some 30 bucks
paid their half dollars and filed into the
hall. Presently Mark made his appear
ance on the stage and began drawing
away in his usual style. The white peo-
pie laughed boisterously, but the Indians
looked puzzled, and after standing it for
10 minutes they began whispering and
grunting among themselves, and finally
the chief got up and went out to the
box-office and inquired when the
tumbling was going to commence, and
that /" heap big fool" was going to quit
talking. Upon learning that the per-
Torrance was going to be all talk, and
conveying this horrid information to the
other Indians, they rose in a body, left
the hall and swarmed to the box-otice
and demanded their money back. The
agent couldn't think of such thing, and
the Piutes went out on the street and
gave vent to their feelings in war
whoops. 1t looked for few minutes as
if the disguised warriors would start IN
to wreck the hall and murder the lee
turer. A crowd of whites, attracted by
the loud, angry yells of the red men,
gathered, however, and Mark Twain
was saved to an admiring world.

A Hydrophobia stery from Down East.

A correspondent of the Littleton On.
H. Republic says that many years ago
Noah Hatch, of Northumberland, a
wealthy farmer, had three or four chill
dren bitten by rabid dog. On the first
symptoms of rabies in the children he
started for the ocean. Portland was
the nearest point and 125 miles distant,
but he reached it in about twenty hours
by a frequent change of horses, and
Immediately put the children on board
a sailing craft and took them out short
distance, and, fastening weights to
them, three times sank them in the
ocean, keeping them under as long as
was safe without extinguishingsfife.
The effect of the submerging was the
cure OF the children. Alpha, one OF the
bittenso children, had hydrophohia
spasms, and would snap her teeth, froth
at the mouth, and bark ike a dog before
reaching Portland This individual,
now nearly 20 years old, resides in
Bethlehem, and Mrs Charlotte Waters,
now living in Stratford, was one of the
bitten children. The dog that bit the
children bit several animals that suisse
auently became rahid and were killed.
