John demurred a good deal to the
plan, but Cleve was masterful, and the
note was written, Cleve himself
putting it in the post office.
That was Monday night. On Wed

was quite aware that John Selden had
regarded himself for many years as bis
cousins heir, and that her marriage
with the late Thomas Glare had serl-
ouslY altered his prospects. Women
easily see through best.laid plans OF
men, and this plan was transparent
enough to the shrewd little widow.
John would scarcely have liked
the half coutemptuous shrug and
smile which terminated her private
thoughts on the matter.
"Clementine, ifyou could spare a
moment from your fashion paper, l
want to consult you, dear, about a
visitor"
CIementine raised her blue eyes,
dropped her paper, and said, "who is

Indian Horse Races.

A correspondent who dates his letter
from the Southern Ute agency, Pine
River Postoflice, La Plata county, Col,
says: Learning from Charlie and lagler.
chiefs of the Menache and Capote bands
ofUte Indians, that they were going to run
their horses against the Weimanuches
of the same tribe, l accepted their invi-
tation and rode out to their track one
pleasant afternoon about three weeks
ago and became aspectator of some of the
fairest and most quietly conducted horse
racing | ever witnessed. No grand
stand, no Judges stand, no fence to keep
intruders from the course, no police force
to drive enthusiastic hackers from the
quartcr-stretch,a and yet everything was
conducted with order and decorum.
The track is straight stretch of per-
haps mile in length. On opposite
sides ofthe come-out the head men ofthe
opposing bands seat themselves upon
the ground in a circle, pass from hand to
hand the pipe, from which each in sue
cession puffs blue wreath of smoke.
And while this is going on a horse is rid
den from one side by a nearly naked In
dian boy and slowly guided down the
track, and as he leaves the stand one of
his hackers rises from the group in coun-
Gil and brings forward close to the track
such articles as he desires to wager on
his horse-blankets, skins, ftlrs, fancy
clothing and ornaments, guns, saddles
and silver dollars-throwing all together
on the ground in plain view of the other
side, who at once advance like number
of articles in pile on their side of the
track. Another bare-legged Indian boy
is mounted and started at a point desig-
mated by the owners at the head of the
track, and without any one to give the
word the start is made, and if both are
satisfied the race is run, otherwise both
go back, and when both are satisfied the
first out is the winner. No claim OF
foul; no words of dispute; the man of
the winning side walks across the track,
gathers the stakes and returns unques-
toned. Four times saw the Weimanu-
che man walk to the side of the Mena-
ches and CapOtes and bear off their most
valued prizes, while no word of com
plant arose from the losers. and but few
signs of eXultation were exhibited by
the winners. These contests have been
renewed every week since, until the
Menaches and Capotes have lost nearly
all their valuables, and they are now
looking for horse with which to win
back their goods and chattels.

Beggars that Ride.

In San Antonio, a queer-looking old
town in Texas, the streets are narrow, wind
ing, unpaved and lined with low, thick
walled stone houses, having earthen floors
and fiat roofs. On some of the roofs bright
flowers and feathery grasses wave. Along
the streets ride beggars mounted on shaggy
little donkeys, and looking around for some
body to give them aims. These fellows are
great brawny Mexicans, with fiery black
eyes, which have a guilty look in them,
and are very quick to catch sight Of money.
II you toss Il coin to one of the beggars-
nothing less than fve-cent piece will do
he is sure to catch it in his hat, and from
there it will be slipped into some pocket in
his ragged clothes. Then he will grin,
touch his replaced hat, and ride staidly on.
His home, which probably is in the out
skirts of the town, is called "a jackal," and
is built with upright posts, stray boards,
bits of cloth, and all sorts of materials,
and thatched with straw. 1t contains but
little furniture, yet shelters heaps of sweet
potatoes, garlic and red peppers.

The Humming Bird.

One of the most remarkable feats per-
formed by birds of passage is instanced by
the tiny ruby-throated humming-bird Of
North America. This beautiful little
creature finds its way annually from Mexi-
co, and even South America, to the United
States, Canada and Newfoundland, return
ing to its winter home in autumn. This
long Journey is not performed in hocks, but
singly, over no less than twenty degrees of
latitude, over immense forests tracts, wild
prairies, high mountains and broad rivers.
One wonders why this, of many species OF
humming- should form one of very
ew exceptions, and abandon the eternal
summers of the South, to run the risks of
two hazardous journeys, for a short sojourn
in lands where it has barely time to rear its
offspring before the cold of autumn COM
pels retrograde movement. We can sup
pose that the united intelligences of flock
Of sparrows are more likely to assure a
safer passage than the skill of single in
dividual; nevertheless this tiny creature
pursues its course year by year for thou
sands of miles, and with great regularity as
to the seasons of arrival and departure,
performing the double journey and rearingits
offspring within four months. How the little
bird manages to subsist during its spring
migration, especially in Canada, seems a
wonder, for scarcely flower excepting the
May flower, the trillium, and a few other
vernal plants are in bloom.
