A Pitiful Object.

One of the most forlorn and pitiful objects in life, says the New York Her, ald, is the man who once did 8 good business, failed, became dissipated, lost heart and object, and, having no other place of resort, seeks 8 mean barroom, where, without money to pay his foot ing, he is tolerated by the landlord on account of the little odd jobs that he does. He is there on sufferance, yet he tries to make himself, as we'll as others, believe that he is a sort of attache of the place, his pay for his menial and humiliating services being given in oc- casional drinks at the landlords ex- pense. He washes windows in the early morning for his sup of gin; he washes cuspidores, sweeps out and runs on errands, is treated with disrespect and is in everybody's way. A few men moved by compassion, or remembering that he was once a gentlemen in goot circumstances, ask him to drink, giv' him 8 bit of clothes, and finally con tribute toward his cheap coffin.

The Country School House.

It seems to be the fate of country school houses that they shall not only be painted glaring and unsightly white, and be allowed to grow sickly gray, but that they shall be erected in wretched waste places. Light may be desirable, but it seems to be hard on children that when the school house might have background of woods it is built on some barren, unshaded spot,
 where in Summer the heat beats upon it piteously. and no huge tree at "play- spell" affords protection. The trustees, usually because they are economical or because they have no idea of comfort or picturesqueness, manage to select some bare, open meadow, or stretch of use less sand waste. Anything they think is good enough for school house. How much influence the wretchedness has o1 the souls of the children is incalculable.

A City Founded in Four Days.

Some time ago an old prospector named Redpath found some float rock on the hills about ten miles from Dead wood, which he thought was pure car bonate. He took it to the city, had it assayed, and found that it went up to the thousands of ounces of silver to the ton. He also showed it to old Colorado miners, who pronounced it the pure stuff, and were very anxious to discover where it came from. There was great deal of mystery at first, but the. secret finally leaked out, and the excitement commenced. It was mild at first, but in a short time it took possession of everybody, and the stampede of the season was inaugurated. The ground on which the discovery was made was in a wild portion of the country that had never been prospected. There were no roads to the point, and the first crowo of treasure hunters made their way there on horseback or afoot. They come back with specimens of rich rock, ant in day or two Deadwood, Central City and Lead City were almost depopulated A town was laid out, lots drawn for b. all present, rules of government agreed to, and the place named "West Virgins City" In forty-eight hours the tow contained nearly one thousand inhaei tants, and nine saloons were in opera tion. On the third day two faro bank were opened, restaurants were started and, to cap the climax, on the fourt day the first copy of daily newspaper called the Carbonate Reporter, wa issued. Fifty buildings were erected i one week, and as high as $500 has bee
 paid for building lots. The town prom ises to be permanent, as there has bee
 many rich finds.

PREVARICATION IN CHINA. A Military Proclamation Prescribing
 Punishment for IIyinS

They don't stand on ceremony in the Celestial Empire. When the govern ment has anything to say, it says it, as witness the following proclamation of En, Chung and Wen, the chief military authorities of Pekin, which is on file in our State Department :-
 "Let all you people clearly under stand this :-
 "A communication has been received from the Teung-i Yamen reciting as follows :-s China and foreign nations have always been on terms of peace since commercial relations were estab- lished long ago. The government has thesame considerate regard for strangers as for her own subjects, and treats all alike with the same rule of conduct. Now, it has recently come to our ears that many extraordinary stories are going the rounds in the streets and by-lanes. There must be some discontented, med dlesome fellows who invent stories among themselves and go about spread ing them in such way that it is really to be apprehended that falsehood upon falsehood will foment some real trouble. We have no request that strict procla- nation will be issued to put stop to this, so that virtuous, law-abiding peo' pie may not be deceived by these stories, etc.
 Having received the above, it is right that we should issue a public notification. Wherefore this proclama. tion. We expect you officers and sol diers of the local guard stations to take careful note that if there be lawless, discontented vagabonds and loafers, as aforesaid, who labricate stories with z view to creating disturbance you are to arrest them on the spot and send then in chains to this office to be severely punished. On no account will any in diligence be shown. And you, soldiers and people, we hereby admonish you on the issuance of this proclamation, to go about your respective duties and no to give ear to false stories, whereby yot may involve yourselves in trouble. Le all concerned tremble and obey thi special proclamation.

Advice to Young Men.

My son. enjoy yourself. Have good time; pleasure is eminently right and proper, but good time isn't secured by 8 headache that lasts all the next day. The simplest pleasures are the most lasting. After you have spent two years in Europe, you will come back and sit down by your freside and think of 8 picnic you went to down at the cascade one afternoon in June that cost you just sixty-fve cents.
 The "good times" that you daren't take your wife to, my son, that you would lie about them, the "goodness of them never comes back to refresh you and gladden. your years, as does the memory of the sixty-fve cent picnic when you chattered nonsense with the girl you loved, and laughed just as the Leaves rustled because you couldn't help it.
 The "good time" that wakes in the morning, and wonders where he was and who saw 1t and where all his money gone the good time that tails itsel off with 8 headache, there is precious little fun in that.
