A PuSillstic Preacher.

a clustering fellow recently undertook to
insult and intimidate a clergyman on the
cars near burlington, Iowa. lie sat i'll the
same seat with The clergyman, and, after sew
eral attempts to drag linn INTO conversation,
seized him by the ear, saying: 'See here,
mister. yere got to answer this question:"
Turning partly around, without the least
outward excitement, the clergyman remarked:
''You are a stranger to me, and l do not wish
10 be annoyed by you. Will you please let
60 my ear ?' "Not until l have ere mind o. -
insolently answered the fellow with a grin.
"Look here, my friend, l had much rather
pray for you than use bodily force. but yCIt

lister. 81 must, ell !" just then the minister
planted his fist in the fellows face and
knocked him down. The passengers mani
tested their pleasure at the turn things had
taken, while the scamp walked to the other
end of the car, and during the remainder OF
the trip conducted himself i'm a manner that

He'll Fire Rock.

Miners are not in the habit of throwing up
good contracts for nothing nowadays; but
the Ada mine, in Snake creek, is idle at pres
ent, and will be for some time to come. un-
less some of our rock sharps give a solution
to a geological phenomenon which still puz-
zles the miners of that section. In driving
the tunnel, which is now in over 100 feet, a
strange formation was encountered. At every
stroke of the pick the tunnel was filled with
a luminous vapor, and the wierd light made
the blood chill in the veins Of the supersti-
tious miner. 1t Is needless to say that the
contractors dropped their tools and left, and
the owners of the mine could not induce
them to resume their work. They call the
rock "hell fire rock" and give the tunnel a
wide berth. Some of the rock is being ma
lyzed and we shall give the result as soon as
ascertained. 1t is probably phosphuretic
rock.-Sdlt Lake Tribune.

How knights are Made.

In a recent volume Sir Stephen Lakeman
gives the following account of his knighting:
"After a few words had passed a cushion
was brought and laid before HE, and then an
other, on Which there was a heavy-loOklng
sword. Some one behind Inc whispered that
l was to kneel-an operation by no means
agreeable to a man before company. This l
somewhat awkwardly did, and so remained,
with my face bent toward her Majesty's feet,
expecting every moment to feel the weight of
the sword OIL my shoulder to indicate that the
ceremony had begun, but nothing came.
There was a dead silence, so l looked up and
saw the Queen holding up the sword aud di-
recling an inquiring glance at some one be-
hind my back. Whoever that person was he
was a long time in answering. II was the
Earl of Aberdeen. 1t was evident TO me That
her Majesty could not hold the sword over

came the sword, missing the shoulder ard
