BlAKB's WIDOW.

Jem Blake was shot dead in bis own
doorway by Antonio Gueldo, and the trial
was to come off directly.
The extraordinary interest in the affair
was less due to the murder and its peculiar
circumstances, than to the fact that this
was the first case tried at San Saba in any
more formal court than the -honored
institution of Judge Lynch. Jem had been
a quiet man and good neighbor, with a
hand always ready to help one who was out
of luck, so public sentiment ran pretty
high against Antonio. If the general in
time it always had-the last named gen.
tleman would have found very scaLt OPP
portunity to make any remarks IN his own
behalf. However. things were advancing
at San Saba as well as elsewhere, and it
wouldn't do to hang Antonio without a
regular trial, no matter how agreeable such
a proceeding might be to the people at
large. So ran the opinion expressed by
Judge Pilbaldo, whose ideas on such sub
jects were usually accepted without COM
ment. Nevertheless there was more than
one dissenter in the present instance, to
whom it was by no means clear that there
could be any sense or profit in thus beat
ing about the bush.
"Ef Antonio's goin ter be hung, why
don t we hang him?'
This was the pertinent query of Jake
Smith. the leader of the opposing faction,
and his view Of the question put it in Sc
clear light that the judge had great diff
Guilty IN impressing people with his con-
viction. He said that things had gone on
in an irregular way long enough; and here
was way to start the law in properly
and give it a fair show. Besides, it didn't
make any kind of differences; Antonio
had shot Jem. hadn't he? Well, then
what was the use of talking! All the jury
would have to do now was to return Their
verdict of guilty in the first degree, and
there you were all comfortable. It was
just the same thing in the end-exactly.
81 tell yer" said the judge, who felt the
weight of his title. albeit the same was al
together one of courtesy; II tell yer there's
nothin like dom a thing regular; partik
erlally when yer know just how it's com
in out"
J So the judges argument. supported by
his influence, and increasing bias at San
Saba in favor of mere civilized views, set
tied the matter and it was decided thai
Antonio Gueldo should be tried before HI
was hanged. AS there was no place spec
tally arranged for such ceremonies, Judge
Pilbaldo Hospitality offered the nss of hi
shed. Here rough table and chair wer'
placed for the judge, the other necessar,
furniture intended to represent the dock

On the Stairway.

On the Stairway.
The guests had gone. Upon the quiet street
The unlit windows gittered blank and cold,
The tread was lost Of late delaying feet.
And the last carriage from the door had rolled.
She leaned upon the carven stairway rail,
Beneath the dimly burning entrance light,
Whose jet was borne by brazen arms in mail
A Lady guarded by watchful Knight.
How fair She was As she stood blushing there,
Her glowing beauties yelled in jealous shade
That despened the dark eyes and darker hair,
She half recalled the Oft-Sung Attic maid.
There were the jetty tresses unconfned,
There was the dainty zone encircled waist,
And on the swelling bosom, pearl entwined,
The token flowers by happy station graccd.
The color in her blooming cheeks and lips
Mocked the pale halo of the curious light );
And the pink blossom of her fnger-tips
Onher black velvet grew to lily white.
Upon the downmost stairs her lover stopped,
(The watchful knight seemed careless of the
tryst.)
No word was said, but when the soft eyes dropped
They saw the lily by the lover kissed.

RUNNING Down A DEER When Suf-
ficiently near, the Apache hunter takes his
aim, and making slight noise with his
foot on the ground, which causes the deer
to turn toward him, has good chance to
hit it IN the middle of the forehead. But
if he misses the mark, or his gun misses
fire, then the fun begins in earnest, and
one Of the finest races in the world can he
witnessed-a naked Indian and fright
ened deer at full speed. If the deer should
happen to be more than year old, it is of
no use following it, as it will then outrun
any Indian. and run longer without giving
out, but if two or three years old, or older,
good runner will bring it down in a few,
hours, or certainly within fifty or sixty
miles The deer starts at full speed, max
ing long leaps of from ten to thirty feet.
AT first he gains rapidly on the Indian,
but the latter follows, every now and then
uttering frightful yells, but never for q
moment halting or losing the trail. The
deer, when out of sight, halts and looks
back, but soon his pursuer comes in sight,
when he bounds on with longer leaps than
at FIRST; finally he makes for water, a spring
or stream and when he gets there halts
and drinks all he wants. Now there is no
hope for him, for after he drinks he can
not run so fast or leap or far. Pretty
soon the Indian comes in sight again,
while the tired deer rests moment, but
the tired man never halts to drink, not if
his mouth is as dry as ashes, for by so do
ing he not only loses time, but cannot run
so fast afterward.

WE ALL HAVE IT Now.-.Spring fever!
How it settles down OIL US. The rays of
the sun come to us at just the right slant
warming our system into delicious de-
sire for repose; the soil, easily yielding to
to the pressure of our foot, frost all out of
it, and the summers heat nat having bak-
ed it into hardness, tempts US to stroll; the
green, CHEEKY appearance of the short
blades Of young grass is 80 restful to the
eye; to be inside four walls is such a bore
when the birds are striking up their over
ture to natures divine opera of summer
that we feel as though we should like to
lean against the south side Of fence, pull
our hat over our eyes, and white and
stretch and yawn all day long. Oh! The
spring fever is the LATEST. incest disease
ever Invented by man, and medicine, thank
heaven can't cure it.

Laziness the Foundation Of Socialism.

Socialism is a disease of a state OF civil
zation in which true science OF society
scarcely exists, in which false notions OF
life, OF the relation of the individual to
the society and the state, are widespread,
and in which all ranks are honeycombed
by sentimental notions of what ought to be-,
in this world. Since Rosseau, certain
set of doctrines has been permeating mod
ern society, which have no truth in histo-
ry or fact at all, but which fatter human
nature and are sure to be popular. because
they make light of education, culture, cap
ital, breeding, and all the excellencies,
which being all very hard to get, raise him
who has them above him who has them
not. The same doctrines teach, per contra,
that the unframed man is the normal type,
and standard, so that men, instead OF be-
ing urged to seek the excellencies are Gu
couraged to believe themselves superior,
without them, to those who have them.
Such lis the outcome of the doctrine of
equality, and as it has spread, it has only
growRsmere popular, has propagated more
and more fallacies, and shifted more and
more distinctly into thirst and demand for
equal enjoyment Of material luxury.
Socialism is an effort to crafty this thirst
in some other way than by using it as an
incentive to industry and economy. Oh
viously, there is no other way, unless it
consists in taking away the means of ma
terial enjoyment from those who have
produced and saved them, and giving them
to those who have not PRODUCED and saved
them. Every step in that direction is a
step towards universal impeverishment
and barbarism, and every step will have to
be won by war. The Socialists assume
that their victory in that war is certain,
but it is certain that they are entirely mis-
taken.-Scribner for March.

A Warning for Parents and Children.

DR.. Peck of the Surgical Institute, has
just performed surgical operation on the
leg of young girl by the name of Jordan,
from Illinois, sent here for treatment
The bones of both her legs will have to be
partly removed, and the little sufferer will
have to submit TO two painful operations.
The cause of her affection is from Jump
ing the rope,' pastime engaged in gen.
orally by young girls, resulting in necrosis.
or death of the bone. The doctor stated
to reporter, in this connection, that SIM
liar cases were constantly occurring from
this same cause, but more frequently re-
sulting in necrosis of the spine, and that
not month passes but more or fewer Ca.
ses of this character come to the Institute
for treatment. He says that rope jumping
produces continuous conclusions on the
joints which impinge upon the bone, caus-
ing at the first stage periostetis, and final
ly resulting in the death of the bone. He
thinks that parents and teachers should be
warned of this dangerous sport, and Grad
icaJe it entirely from the play grounds Of
the children, as it is ruinous in its effects,
and is the prime cause Of more cripples
among the female portion of the commu-
nifty than probably any one cause. He al
so added that during the practice of his
profession deaths had been occurring, COM
ing under his observation, which were the
result of this injurious pastime.- In con-
clusion he said II would warn children
against rope jumping, and would advise
parents and teachers to prohibit it under
all circumstances"
