we're driving down from Lake Bieler

were driving down from Lake Bigler
in private conveyance. They were
in Clear Creek Canyon, and were driv-
ing along leisurely, when Mr.. Balch
saw rock, whichweighed several tons,
coming down the steep mountain-side.
He called the attention of his comrades
to the fact, and an effort was made to
whip the horses up. At the same
instant the animals saw the danger
themselves, and became so frightened
that they simply backed on their
haunches and snorted with terror 1t
was only the work of few seconds
for the rock to reach the team, as it
struck them it swept them off the
road into the stream at the right, and
rent the wagon and it's occupants into
the bushes. The heavy growth of
willows broke the force Of their fall,
and aside from few scratches they
were uninjured. One of the horses
was completely obliterated, and the
driver, Townsend, was covered with
spattered blood. The other horse was
so badly mangled that he, was shot to
relieve him of misery.

Vampire Bats of Brazil.

Probably tno part of Brazil is more
afflicted than portion of the province
of Bahia with the scourge Of vampires.
Whole herds of cattle are sometimes de-
stroyed by this venomous bat. It was
long a matter of conjecture how the ami
NAL accomplished this insidious and
deadly work, but scientific men have
now decided that the tongue, which is
capable of considerable extension, is
furnished at its extremity with num-
Der of pipili@, which are SO arranged as
to form an organ Of suction, the lips
having also tubercles symmetrically ar
ranged. Fastening themselves upon cat
tie, these dreadful animals can draw the
blood from their victims. The wound,
made probably from the small needle
like teeth, IL afine round hole, the bleed
lug from which is very difficult to stop.
It is said that the wings Of this deadly
bat fly around during the operation Of
wounding and drawing the blood with
great velocity, thus tanning the victim
and lulling while the terrible work is in
progress. Some of these creatures
measure two feet between the tips of
their wings, and they are often found in
great numbers In deserted dwellings, in
the outskirts Of the city. The negroes
and Indians especially dread them, and
there are numerous superstitions among
the natives regarding them.

where the family live and the meals are
cooked and eaten, and the boys and girls
are as blithe as the sparrows in the
thatch overhead; and I see that it is
not so much wealth and learning, nor
clothing, nor servants, nor toll, nor idle
ness, nor town, nor country, nor station,
as tone and temper, that makes life joy
GUS OF miserable-that render home
happy or wretched. And I see, too,

A Queer Temperance Lecture.

G. T. Campbell, a noted temperance
advocate, in a lecture delivered in New
York, said Barkeepers in this city pay,
on an average, 81 per gallon for whisky.
One gallon contains an average of sixty
five drinks, and at 10 cents a drink the
poor man pays $3.50 per gallon for his
whisky; in other words, he paysf$2 for
the whisky and S. so to man for hand
ing it over the bar. Make your wife
barkeeper. Lend her So to buy gal
Ion of whisky for beginning, and every
time you want drink go to her and pay
10 cents for it. By the time you have
drunk gallon she will have Sc. 80, or
enough money to refund the 50 bor-
rowed of you, to pay for another gallon
of liquor, and have balance of So. so.
She will be able to conduct future opera
tions on her own capital, and when you
become an inebriate, unable to support
yourself, Stunned and despised by all
respectable people, your wife will have
enough money to keep you until you
get ready to fill a adrunkard's grave.
