Seventeth Thousand. Published by Charles
Foster, Philadelphia. 16mo. PIP 704
The object of this work is to give for the use
of Sunday Schools, and the young, "a simple
version of the main portions of the Bible, which
would not only give its stories its precepts
and its doctrines in continuous form, but
would also show the connection and unity be
tween the Old and New Testaments." The
popularity of the book is shown by its having
reached the enormous sale of 10000 copies.

The most precise and thorough census
enumerator is Just now passing through a
mining camp 10 Southern Nevada, and be
is having hard time of it.
As an iIlustration, he called at an old
prospector's cabin the other morning, and
taking out his big blank book, proceeded
to put the miner through the entire cate
CORY of questions about as follows -
"What street do you live on 7"
"Don't live on no street; live yer in
the rocks"

asked the interrogation, still adhering to
the text of the blank form.
"The number of my cabin ?" quizzed
the miner; it's No. l. reckon"

"Bill Lamar"

and rising, a don't know what yer driv-

inquired the questioner.
"Me?-me ?' shouted Bill, taking a
step nearer his visitor, and starting to roll
M his sleeves-" Me Pm man, every

Still pursuing his duty, the govern
mental agent continued:
"A Are you sick or temporarily disabled?"
"Sick? disabled 2" roared Bill, dancing
wildly before the young man with the big

man at this question, Bill shook his fist
under the agents nose Just as the latter
looked mildly up, and innocently followed
ND his queries with
T" Insane, crippled, bed-ridden !?
This was too much. Bills fist came
down on the census-taker's unfortunate
head like rock-hammer, while at the same
time his number fourteen brogans sought
such leverage under the poor fellow S
coat-tails as lifted him clean out of doors,
book and all.
The amazed enumerator gave one glance
back at the advancing form of the most
dangerous-looking human being his eyes
had ever rested on, and started for gulch
a hundred yards away, where he rubbed
down his bruises, and, seating himself on
rock, opened his book, and after the name
of " Bill Lamar wrote the words:

abled ?"
"No ~

Advertising That Paid.

Johnny Manning, the Sheriff of Dead.
wood, Dakota Territory, was in St
Louis on business, and he remembered
tnat the year before st. Louis man
had been up to Deadwood and left ow-
ing a man several hundred dollars.
which was to be paid as soon as he cot
nome. Manning met the man in st,
Louis, and he said he would hand him
the money the next day, but the DAYS
passed and the money did not come
though the man was amply able to paw,
30 one morning Manning inserted per-
sonal In newspaper to the effect that II
the man who left Deadwood between two
days did not pay the money he forgot

stal'ces would be published the next

Manning, Sheriff of Deadwood." Be-
fore 9 o'clock, young man called al
Mannngs hotel, and said he had seen
the notice and had come to pay $500 he
had borrowed to get out of Deadwood.
Manning found out who the money was
borrowed Of, and took it to carry to the
Deadwood citizen, remarking that he
was not the man the Sheriff referred to-
nut It was a mighty mean Sheriff that
would not carry money to friend. The
next man to call was the one he wanted.
and he paid the money, and apologized,
and begged the Sheriff to say nothing
about it. During the day seven citizens
OF Stl Louis called on Manning and paid
INN money for citizens of Deadwood
believing the Sheriff had reference 10
them in. his notice, and, after he had
gone away, another citizen called and
asked the clerk for Manning, but the
clerk said the other fellows had all been

Worse than Prize FIGHTING.

Since the decline of the art Of self lie.
Tense in England it has been replaced by
more deadly if not more brutal methods
OF settling little difficulties. Each sec
ton Of the country has its special meth.
cd OF fighting. In the West Of England.
where the love of wrestling still prevails
a good deal of the old chivalrous feeling
which scons to strike man when he Is
down is still to be found. In the North.
especially among the mill operatives,
such fastidiousness is not fashionable.
and i, in rough-and-tumble fight, a
combatant is unlucky enough to lose his
feet, he has small chance OF getting up
again without being seriously damaged
by the heayy-soled, iron-tipped boots of
his opponent. A case Of this kind has
recently occurred in Lancashire, where
perhaps the most brutal Of all the brutes
In creation are found. Two young fel-
lows were i'll treating a woman. A young
man, stranger to the customs Of the
natives, interfered He was overpow-
cred, knocked down and kicked to death.

tack. The worst feature Of the case is
