How the savaRes Live. j.

The Utes live principally on bread

they have small quantity on on hand.
They are dirty. They are even very

these animals help themselves to the
meat. After they have satisfied them.
selves, and whom the Indians become
hungry, they cut from the same piece on
which the dogs feed. They generally
boil their meat, but sometimes they
broil it: 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 the same pail for boiling over

The WaxwlnR.

The Bohemian waxwing has this win
ter made it's appearance in Minnesota in
very large numbers. This beautiful
bird resembles our well.known cedar
bird 60 closely that it il generally con.
founded with it by all but practiced
ornithologists. It is somewhat larger,
has more conspicuous carmine tinges at
the end of its secondaries, and bright
yellow margins at the end of the prima-
ries. They generally arrive in our lati-
tude in great focks from their high
northern breeding grounds, and, have
been occasionally noticed about Buffalo
although no specimens Of them have
been thus far obtained for our Society of
Natural Sciences. The large tempting
branches Of the mountain ash are their
favorite food, and on these trees they
are often perched in great locks. When.
ever they arrive in midwinter in our
neighborhood it may be taken for
granted that they are really waxwings,
and not cedar birds, as people generally
suppose them to be. The latter arrive
at the earliest towards the latter end of
March. .zz5

United in Death.

-f = ~ =
From the Houston, Texas, Telegram.
Twelve years or more ago, back in tho
states, NJ. Koran and the girl of his
choice were welded, and for time lived
in the full enjoyment of their bliss.
Anon, however, cloud began to gather
in their domestic sky, no larger than q
speck at first, but with the feeting days
it increased, until the pent up storm
burst and severed them in twain.
Koran was no rich mans son, educat.
ed, blue. FLOODED, and big h.strung, but
he was man for all that, and he Lowell
his wife with love as warm and true
As ever loved the more favored of our
kind luis chosen mate in life. But the
cup OF Joy was not for him then, and he
wandered away, strolling after devil
may.care fashion around, until the fates
brought him to Texas. Here, as else.
where, he was sorry dog, until two
years ago he obtained employment on
the Columbus division of the I. and G..
N. road. Finding himself settled, and
yearning for the old days, he put himself
in communication with the wife from
whom he had strayed 10 long years be-
fore.
The affection of her earlier days she
cherished still, nor did she hesitate when
he called, but answered quickly, and in
August last, the two currents of life
which had drifted apart were once more
joined. Koran was placed by the COM
pany at Arcola in charge of section OF
the road. With his wife he went to his
duty and discharged it, winning thereby
the confidence of his employers and the
respect of his co-laborers. Thus their
lives sped on peacefully and quietly
until last Wednesday, when the husband
was taken ill. He paid little heed to
the malady until Thursday night, when
he became worse, attributable perhaps
to the fact that his wife was also Sim
ilarly attacked. Neither of them would
take medicine, albeit they grew worse
each day. 1t seemed that they recog-
died the inevitable and were prepared
for it. At lOo'clock Sunday night Mrs.
Koran sank into the slumber from which
there is no awakening, and at 10 o'clock
Monday her husband followed her into
the dreamless land. A short time
previous to his death he arose from his
bed, went to her trunk, took out a few
trinklets which she owned, placed them
upon her person, reclined himself upon
the couch beside her, and kissing the
cold face dropped into a gentle, peace.
full sleep from which he never arose.
Two collins were sent down on the Mon
day morning train, and it is fact that
at the time they left here one of those
for whom they were intended was yet in
the land of the living.

senting the beautiful society drama entitled

self, on this occasion, to be an artistic If tai

In the affecting portions of the fourth and
fifth acts her admirable acting brought tears
to the eyes of many present, and the whole
audience we're In sympathy with her seem
ingly wretched position.

STOCKS.

The market yesterday was not i'll very
enthused condition. The leading cause of a
damper was the collapse of the Lady Bryan
bubble which puts a bl .ck eye on the Flowery
District for some time to come. :" Who put
up the job is the inquiry which is on every
ones lips. OF course the general public think
it was Superintendent Kelly, bat those who
claim to know him best say he is incapable Of
such cold bloodsd vilany There is some
comfort found in the fact that the heaviest
losers are those who can stand it best, but
the rascality of the operation is universally
denounced. The stock ran down to Is cents
this morning, but afterwards rose to 80.
Aside from Lady Bryan's drop and Beleh
er's strength, the principal feature of the
early Board was the sale Of nearly 5000 shares
of Ward, without any particular change of
price. Chollar and Potosi were active. The
north-end stocks were heavy and dull
There were small sales of Mono at and

The late Governor Bradleys signature had
peculiar characteristics and there is no mis-
taking it.
DEED ws ALL EFpORsk.
The most skeptieal person on earth cannot
deny that the spirits are capable of doing some
good. While the Governor was present at
the seance, DIR. Slade took small accordion
and held it under the table with one hand. 1t
played few tunes quite correctly, and sud
denly there was terrible connection. The
accordion was ripped to pieces and the frag-
Inents scattered all over the foor. Some Of
the keys were scattered to the four corners #
the room and 1t is safe to say that the instru
ment will never again be used to play tunes
on. The satisfaction of those present at this
happy termination of the seapce was IN
bounded. If spirits will only keep up the
good work of disintegrating accordians
there are few people on earth who will refuse
to join the ranks of the spirituaists.
