That Awful Cow.

There probably isn't 4 woman in North
America who isn't afraid of cows, and
there is not Il COW in North America
which would harm one hair Of any wom-
ans head if it had the best chance in the
world and no other job on hand. We'd
nesday forenoon a stray cow, perhaps from
the country for a taste OF baled hay, found
a gate open and entered yard on Second
street. The woman came to the front
door dressed to 90 out, but seeing the
COW she uttered a scream and hurried
back. There wasn't a thing in the yard
for the COW to damage or cat, and oc1ng
tired she raised her cud, lay down and
began to chew away as if She had got
home from long visit to Europe. The
woman next appeared at i. side window
and called upon the COW to "gct out. "
A dog might have 'got," but the COW
didn't. Then the woman threw Il rag at
the COW and called for the dog. The
dog didn't como and the rag didn t
scare. Then the woman shook pill
low at the COW and peremptorily or
dercd her of the premises, but the bo
vine half closed her eyes and

AS tho COW wouldn't Ego, and as the wo
man couldn't 20 till tho COW did, stcrncr
measures were rcsorted to. A tin pan
was held out of the window and beaten
with Il spoon, but that COW couldn't bc
fooled into believing that the Fourth OF
July had conc. Then the woman went
into the back yard to throw clubs over
the fence and knock !. couple OF horns
off. The first one hit the window and
the next one banged the blinds on the
next house, and the cows horn stuck
tighter than ever. Cries of 'tgit out =
were again resortcd to without effect. and
then the woman watched at the front
door till she saw a boy come along and
she opened it and cried out, "Oh! boy
there's horrible COW in our yard! Pro|
the gate open and get all the boys yol
can and drive her out, and I'll give you ;
whole quarter of dollar. Hurry up, 70,
she looks as if she was getting ready tt

the dangerous animal out in thirty sec

gave up going down town for fear sh,
would have ''nervous spell.''

ONLY A LETTER.

Only letter that came last night,
a dear. little love bird, winged with white,
That whispered the words in a maiden's car
VI the sweetest song that maid could hear

Aye! the charmed din and the soft refrain.
And the burden was this-so old. so new,

Only letter, by Cupid sent,
That makcth the maiden's heart content,
That bringcth the bushes sweet aud shy,
And the tell-tale light to her azure eye!

And dearer far than the choicest book,

Only letter that came this morn
With the heaviest weight that could be borne
And yet it seemed to the man in gray
But tritie light as he passed his way,
A wife is stunned by the sudden blow,
A mothers heart Is filed with woe
For the bird Of omen tells tale
That would make the stoutest spirit quail,
Only letter, thin and white
That has robbed homo Of its iuy and light,
That has hung, by the cruel news it bore,

Ross Easily Beaten by Smith-FaIluro Of
the Effort to Bring Courtney and Hnnlan
Together.
BEDFORD BASIN, N, s., Sept. The weather
was lovely, to-day, for the boat raco in the
morning. Smith and Ross rowed over the
course, three milea with turn. Towards tine
afternoon the people began to gather along th.
shore" OF the Basin and by the time appointed
Tor the race there %as not an unOccupied eli
Riblc spot from which to view the contest. At
$3.50 the men were ordered out. Ross was the
hrst to make his appearance. He wore white
and blue striped shirt, blue breeches. and blue
and red cap. Smiths costume wa. white
trunks and blue cap. When the men were in
adrift, causing sonle delay. The betting at
this time Was even. At length the men got off,
and Smith, drawing ahead, turned the stake
boat in nine minutes. leading Roas by twenty
five seconds. Smith kept = lead of about two
lengths oil the way home, finishing length
and = half ahead. Time 2O:45.
The start took place about quarter to 6,
Ross took the lead, and in the first quarter of
q mile had An advantage Of about quarter of
length. Then Smith made squirt and soon
showed about two lengths clear water between
himself and opponent. Smith started with
about 36 strokes to the minute. which, after
passing Ross, he reduced to 80. Koss rowed
boats were neared Ross apurtcd and lcssene.l
the gap. Smith turned bis boat beautifully in
. minutes and IS seconds from the start. He
turned in seven strokes and scarcely seemed to
lose the least hesdway. Ross lost on the turn.
He rowed hard, however, and though Smith
was now five lengths ahead he decreased the
distance and pulled in toward Smith, probably
intending to foul him, as the latter was not in
his own water Smith put on a squirt and
| made foul out of the question: He slackcnetl

The'Verdant Plumber.

Plumbers are looked upon as the nat
ural subjects for jokes, doubtless from the
fact that only in that way can one get
even with their bills.
A plumbing establishment a few days
ago took on new hand, just arrived from
Wales. On the day after his arrival a
water-pipc in L downtown establishment
burst. He was told to go and attend to
it.
Seeing the owner Of the house in the
shop he went up to him and got the par
ticulars of the accident, and then made
ready his tools and started. The propri-
ctor shouted:
:sWhere arc you going:'
The new man told him.
''Do you mean to tell me that you arc
going down there to fix that pipe without
examining it?' he gasped.
"Why, am going to look at it when I
get there, said the man.
"Why," said the proprietor, catching
hold of the desk for support, ''can it be

True Character Of the ties.

From tho Colorado Springs Gazettee.
we suggested to Mr.. Joseph kenyon
yesterday that the Ute Indians wer,
cowardly fellows; that they had beer
peaceful towards the whites for twent,
years, and that the prospect of troubl,
with them was not at all alarming. w,
made these suggestions to MI. Kenyon
not so much because we were thorough
ly convinced their of accuracy, but be
cause we desired to draw from him the
expression Of his opinion on the matter
which from his long experience in front.
Ter life and his familiarity with the
tribe in question could not be Other
than valuable. Mr.. Kenyon took the
negative upon every proposition advanc.
ed by us.
Coward, !" said he, with some EN-
phasis, ''the Utes coward: why they are
the bravest Indians in the world. But
they've got sense, they've got intellect,
and as long as that willy old scoundrel
Ouray could control them they were
peaceable. Ouray knows when he is
well off. He owns plenty Of horses and
cattle; he's rich, and he knows that
war means poverty to himself and his
Indians. Old Colorow though is bad;
Is bad clear through, he's all Indian,
and he has been spelling for a fight. He
has now got control of the Utes, and he
means mischief.
"Now just to illustrate the dispose
tion Of the Utes. III 1868 I was ap-
pointed by Lincoln to conduct a dele
cation from five tribes of the plains In
dams to Washington for the purpose Of
making a treaty. While we were at
at the capital a party of eight Utes ar
rived and as soon as they learned of the
presence Of my party they could hardly
be restrained from attacking them.
There were twenty-five in my party
and yet these eight wild Utes would not
have hesitated a minute to attack them
If theyhad not been restrained.
81 believe that If the Utes once 90 on
the wal path in earnest, we shall have
one of the worst Indian wars on record.
There is no telling the number of war
riors they can muster. Idon't believe
there are regular soldiers enough in
our army to whip the Utes. They don't
love the whites, but their good sense
has kept them quiet, though they have
been dissatisfied for a long time. They
have been getting ready for a fight for
Ave years, and unless they retire from
the contest of their own accord, there
will be a bloody war;"

What Monsieur Thinks Of 1t.

What Monsieur Thinks Of 1t.
Denver Tribune.
Our transatlantic neighbors of the
United States are again, as usual, in 9
sea Of troubles According to the latest
reports, internescine and bloody strife
has broken out in the very heart of the
country, near the backbone Of the con-
tinent, " as the natives call it. 1t seems
that this fgurative vertebra is the divid-
ing line between two nationalities OF
tribes, which comprise representatives
OF numerous nationalities. On one
side they are a mixture of Mexican,
negroes, g~reenbackers and tender-feet
Ia ~ferocious set who call themselves
the Colorados-meaning men; while
across the range are the Utah or the
Utes, composed equally of Brighamites,
a peculiar people, Russians, Norweg-
ians, Chinese, Diggers, barnacles and
married men.
Thee latter tribes are very much adj
dicted to matrimony and when they can
not find all the wives they desire in
their own tribes they go Immediately
and search for them in another tribe,
taking them off without ceremony.
They recently made an incursion into
the Colorado country and carried OF all
the women to their own land and killed
all the men. Naturally enough the
Colorados became incensed and rose up
in their wrath for battle and blood.
Now, behold the cunning as well as the
the savagery of the Utahsl Having
taken the Colorado women from their
homes, and with their husbands
on the other side of this backbone ;,
they lay back In their tepees, or forts,
and put these same women forward and
made them fight their former country
men, friends and lovers. And they
were successful, too! These Colorado
women are, according to accounts, the
greatest stiategists in the world, and
in this case played u fine trick. upon
their former protectors. 1t seems that
they induced them to march bodily in
to q lannon's mouth, on the Aleck river, |
called in the dispatches the Milk river, |
mnen Vnes were ohce mus entrap-
pea' ~ was OIL course an easy matter
to blow them out.
