a decp, dark ravine, the woman said:
IL am afraid to go through that dark
ravine with yon; it is a lonely place, and
you might overpowsr me and kiss me by

"lf you are afraid of that" said the

"Yes," replied the woman; "but if you

AN EASTERN SToRY.-When Alexan.
der had conquered the world, and pene
tratsd into the remosest reg ions of India
he heard of Paradise, and determined to
subdue that also. He was told that the
river Nithe6el led to it, and immed late
ly ordered feet to be equipped to carry
his troops thither, but previously dis
patched few vessels to procure infor-
matien. When they had reached the
Garden Of Paradise his people found the
gate shut, and before it an aged keeper
of singular appearance, and with an ex
traordinary beard, whom they com mand-
ed TO opea the gate Immediately for their
master was not far behind them. The
hoary keeper sm lied, and said he burst

with sent, when placed on the balance.
The messenger was astonished, for he
could not conceive how a small feather
(since it was only little, dowHy feather
could have such weight, and concluded
the old man was jsering him. He never
theless went and delivered the message.
Alexander directed a balance TO be
brought, and it soon appeared that all
the wood and stone, and silver and gold
that could be laid ON the scale was not
sufficient to counterpoise this little feather
which made everything that was brought
fly quickly up. Alexander sstonishsd at
this magical effect, sent once more to in
quire what was the meaning of it. The
man gravely answered that the feather
sgnifed Alexander's cupidty and am
bition, which were light as down, and
yet SO heavy that aothing could counter
bala nee them; but he would tell him how
that feather light be outwsigbed.
Let" said he, "a handful of earth be
laid upon it, and it will at once lose its
extraordinary power"
Alexander perceived tho meaning, and
was deeply detected. Soon afterwards he
died at Babylon, without having seen the
garden OF delight.

The Pacific Railways.

There are no less than four important
Pacific railway measures before con-
gress; two at least are of national i'm
portance, and should be understood by
every citizen of the United States. The
first in Importance is that Of securing
the government against loss in conse-
quence Of government bonds issued in
aid of the construction of the Union
and Central Pacific roads and branches.
The senate at present has this measure
before it, and to give clear understand
ing of the subject the following table
will be of interest in showing the extent
of this debt. BY acts of congress Of
1862 and 1864, the government issued
its bonds bearing 6 per cent. interest
and payable in 80 years from date, to
the amount of $G4 1923, $1,000 divided
ms follows:
Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1878-04-10
As security for these bonds. and the

AS security for these bonds. and the
interest due and to become due, the
government holds only second mort
gage upon the roads, the first mortgage
being about as large as that of the gov
eminent. The bill before congress
known as the judiciary committee bill,
or Thurman bill, provides for " sinking
fund of % per cent. of the net earnings
of the roads to be applied to the pay
ment of the government loan. This
fund would be sufficient to pay the gov
eminent Indebtedness; but, of course.
this measure is not satisfactory to the
railway companies; and to defeat it they
have bill also before the senate known
rs the railroad committee bill, or the
Mathews bill, which seems so have no
other purpose than that of delaying the
payment of this Indebtedness.
The next most important bill on the
subject of the Pacific railways is the
Texas Pacific bill, or the Scott subsidy
bill. This bill provides for further
loan Of the governments credit of some
$50, OO0, 900, secured ly first mortgage
on the road The third bill is that to
extend the time for the completion of
the Northern Pacific road As this bill
involves nothing except the land grant
to the road it is not of such general i'll
terest. The fourth bill is the Commits
sioner bill or pro rate which has for its
object the prevention of determinations
in the charges on the several branches
of the Union and Central Pacific roads,
and is also of a more or less local
nature.

SO far rs the general ability of the
people of nation to read and write is
a proof of their superior enlighten-
ment the Americans have no rivals in
all the world. As readers. we lead all
nations. We are 100000. The popu-
lation of England, Scotland, Wales and
Ireland is 33,OO4, 900; of France, 36,OOO,-
600; of Germany, S4,0OO,OOO. In 1870
there were published in the United
States 574 daily, 1926 weekly, and
1902 other papers, and periodicals. In
1877 the figures were: dailies, 709;
weeklies, 6.22l; all others, LOLA; total,
1914 England has but 3, 252, Germany
but 1885. France but !, $50 and Italy
but $50. The total for the four nations,
embracing an aggregate population OF
1S7 100000, is but 6,731, or 1,2l3 less
than supplies the American population
of 42,OOO,00O. The distribution Of our
daily and weekly papers among the sew
eral states is instructive.

water is drawn, it comes out as cold as

Beaver (Utah) Square. .dealer.]


An instance Of what an Apache
Indian will do in the way of cool dar-
ing, when the prize is worth the risk,
once occurred on a ranch in Arizona.
The owner of the ranch was an Amer
lean. To guard against the Apaches
he had built a blockhouse and adj
Joining it, a courtyard and corral, sur
rounded by an adobe wall eight feet
high and two feet thick. In the corral
the herd was nightly securd. He had
a contract to feed and guard 400 head
of beef cattle belonging to the United
States fort, some 80 miles away.
More than one attempt had been made
by the Apaches to capture the herd,
while feeding two or three miles from
the block house. But the vigilant
herdsmen had driven the cattle at a
gallop into the corral, before the In
uians could stampede them. One
night there came fearful storm. A
solitary Apache, unarmed, and with
nothing but blanket to protect him
from the cold rain, climbed over the
corral wall; crouching in the corner,
he waited for day. Early in the morn
ing, the storm having passed away,
eight herdsmen, mounted and armed,
waited at the corral gate for the herd
to be turned out. The gate was
opened. The stock poured out. Sud
denly up sprang the Apache; vaulting
on the nearest horse, he clutched his
= name with one hand. while with the
other he waived his red blanket and
yelled like demon. In an instant
every hoof made "A rush, and the STAN
pede began. The horse, frightened,
darted into the midst of the flying
cattle. As in frenzy they went
through the gateway, the Apache
clasped his arms around the horse
neck. and throwing his body on one
side of the maddened animal, disap-
peared from view \ thousand men
ranged in column could not stop that
rush of the crazed herd down the
valley. The herdsmen fired vollev
which wounded and killed some Of
the cattle. Two bands Of Apaches,
darling out from opposite sides ofthe
valley. closed up from behind the
herd. -Four hundred head of cattle
We're thus captured and thus run off
by the daring and cunning Of one
Apache.
