A Romantic Story.

Loring, the Boston bookseller, tells a very romantic story as follows: "At one time had prepared boxes of fancy paper with fancy initial or pet name embossed in it, and put this up at $1 a box, and advertised it widely. One day I had an order from California, from a Miss Susie -. The box was done up, addressed to her and lay about here, when 8 young Englishman came in and wanted to write letter. I gave him the materials and @ place, when his eye caught the address on this box.
 "'Have you the order that came for that box of paper? he asked.
 "'Yes,' I replied, ''tis about some where.'
 "' Would you mind sending it up to my hotel? If it is what think, shall leave for California tonight
 "I found it and sent around and heard no more about it for perhaps three months, when one day the young man, with lady on his arm, walked in. MT. Loling, I want to present you to my wife, he said. We could not leave this country till we had thanked you for your part in bringing us together The denouement was quite romance The young man was the son of an aristocra- tic family and the girl the daughter of the gardener. But love levels all dis functions, and the young man felt this girl to be the chosen companion of his life. To break off the attachment his father had sent him to the Continent and despatched the gardener and his pretty daughter to America, where the young man had followed them, ignorant of their address, and at last finding it through the chance of the box of paper

Desperate Fight With a Wild Cat.

A letter from Hainesville, N. j., to n
New York paper says: Wilhelmus
Westfall, a farmer, accompanied by his
son Alexander, went fox-hunting a few
days ago in the woods along the New
Jersey bank of the Delaware river.
While passing through the woods, the
hunters separated. Wilhelmus accom-
panied by hound, kept close along the
river. Having gone short distance,
the dog was heard barking fercely.
Wilhelmus thought he had come upon a
fox track, and was in close pursuit. He
went in the direction of the barking.
and soon came upon the dog, which was
engaged in a fierce encounter with a
monster wild cat. He took his rifle
from his shoulder, and, taking deliber-
ate aim, pulled the trigger. The cap ex-
ploded, but the gun failed to discharge
He placed another cap on the tube, and
again pulled the trigger, with the same
result; the gun would not 20 off. By
this time the dog was badly whipped,
ard, whining and limping, it made its
thicket. The cat then sneaked SLOWLY
through the bushes toward the river :,
Wilhelmus was determined to CAPTURE
IIiO dLlindl, dH, IHOuSuJ lie COulQ con-
quer it by beating out it's brains with
the butt of his gun. He started in pur-
suit, and soon overlook the animal
which stopped when the hunter had ap.
preached within a few feet of it. Tie
plucky hunter cautiously took enc step
after another, when suddenly, and with
eyes glaring like balls of fire, the animal
turned, and made q spring, landing upon
the shoulders of the hunter, and soon
succeeded in intiicting several CHASTITY
wounds upon his face. His body was
also lacerated in terrible manner, and
his clothes were torn into shreds. Aftel
a fierce struggle, the old man succeede {
in loosening the cats hold, when his son
who had heard his fathers cries, ar
rived. Seeing that his father was il
great danger of Icing killed by the ami
NAL, Alexander took deliberate aim, anC
discharged the rifle. The ball had thu
desired effect, for the animal gave an up
ward spring and fell to the ground dead
The ball pierced the animals heart, ant
missed the wounded hunter by only
few inches. The animal measured
nearly six feet in length and weighe,
fifty pounds. 1t was the only one tina
had been killed in this region for severa
years.

He Was There.

Among a number Of oil paintings by
Mcclellan, displayed yesterday in front
of the auction store of j. G. Currie &
Co, was one representing the Mountain
Meadows massacre. The teams and
wagons Of the emigrants are seen wind
ing down into the valley in which the
horrible tragedy is soon to be enacted,
while behind rocks and trees in the fore
ground are visible the crouching In
dians and Mormons, all in feathers and
war paint.
A crowd of men were standing about
the picture commenting upon It and
talking Of the horrible butchery it<rep-
resented, among the rest an Enterprise
reporter.
Observing a stalwart Piute brave
standing on the street at the distance of
a few PAGES, the reporter said to the
whites present:
Hold on and we'll have some fun.
III get yon Indian and confront him
with the scene
The Piute, a huge, sleepy-looking fell
low, tattooed on the point of the chin
and cheek. bones, was soon brought in
front of the picture.
The reporter pointed out the horses
and wagons, the men, women and chill
into the valley, and armed and painted
Indians, with "blood in their eyes, :"
peering out from their hiding places.
You see the white men, the horses
and the wagons?' said the reporter.
Yash, me see UNI, said the Indian.
You see the Injuns behind the rocks
and behind the trees?' .a
Yash, me see um.'
You see the Injuns have all got gunsP'
Yash, me see UNI gum
Now, pretty soon Injun shoot all the
white men, shoot all the white women,
cut throat of all little children - you
sabep'
'Yash, me sabe.'
You sabep
'Yash, heap sabe,' said the Indian,
earnestly, his eyes glistening.
The reporter was somewhat disap-
pointed, as hehad expected the Indians
feelings would be somewhat worked
upon by the picture of wholesale slaugh-
ter he had drawn, particularly when it
came to cutting the throats of the chill
dren. However, the untutored child OF
the desert gazed innocently in his face
with a look which seemed to say:
We'll, proceed with the lesson
The red man seemed utterly free from
guile, and willing to test him further
the reporter said:
When all men dead, all women dead,
and all children dead, Injun take all
horses, all blanket, all money-all every.
thing in wagOn-you sabe?'
Yash, me sabe.'
Turning to the reporter the guileless
and untutored fellow pointed out n par.
ticularly fierce-looking Indian peering
out from. behind rock.

How the Ute Indians Live.

The Utes, who massacred Agent
Meeker in Colorado. live principally on
bread and meat When they can't get
bread they live on meat, and when they
can't get meat they live on bread g.
When they have a great quantity of pro-
visions ON hand they eat it all up before
getting any more. The same is true
when they have small quantity on
hand. They are dirty. They are even
very dirty. Their meat is general y
airy place. Each Indian family pos
sesses any number of dogs, from eight
to fifteen, and these animals help them
selves TO the meat. After they have
satisfied themselves. and when the In
dams become hungry, they cut out ofthis
same piece ON which the dogs feed.
They generally boil their meat, but
sometimes they broijt. They put it in
water and let it remain only few
minutes, just long enough to heat, when
they take it out and begin to eat. They
use the same water and same pail for
boiling over and over again until the
water becomes a perfect slime Of filth
One pot generally does service for the
entire family. This particular pot is a
frying pan. When the Utes get out Of
bed they wash their faces and battle the
baby in it. after which they bake the
bread and boil the meat. Then they
eat out of the vessel, and then THE dog
lick up the leavings. They clothe them
selves with the skins of animals or will
blankets. They generally take blanke
or skin and cut hole in the MIDI e o

arm-holes and fastening the garment a
the waist with wide belt, while the,
close up the neck with buckskil
string. When the garment wears GU
they cut the string and let it drop, bu

wear as many as five of these garment
at time, always keeping the cleanes
