Put-up Job on the Passengers.
Omaha Herald.

Last Sunday, as the eastern-bound
Union Pacific express ran into the lit
tie mining town of Hillard, Wyo., there
was observed y man, who looked as if
he had all the bad elements of human
ity combined in him, bound tightly to
a telegraph pole near the depot, by a
rope, two or three armed sentinels
standing guard over him, while a
second rope dangled gracefully and
significantly from the cross-trees. A
short distance from this group was an
other party in the act of burrying a
dead man, who, they said had Just
been cut down from neighboring pole.
The body was almost covered with dirt
and only the dead mans boots and
head, which was covered by coarse
gunny sack, protFuded. OF course,
when it was fully understood that this
kind of procedure was going on the wild
est excitement prevailed throughout
the train, and disposition was mani
tested by some of the ssnerviest" pas
sengers to go out and rescue the poor
victim from the miners, and in fact an
expedition did go out and ask the
cause of this high-handed business.
They were informed that the men
were notorious horse thieves, and had
infested that region for a long time, but
had finally been captured, and were
simply undergoing the sentence pre-
scrlbed for such crime by Judge Lynch.
70 the philanthropic and humane pas
senger this seemed barbarism, and
they offered all the inducements in their
power to save the life of the remaining
culprit, and allow him at least trial
byjury. It was whispered confdentially
that the miners liberated their prison
er on good round sum of ransom
money, and their merciful mission end
ed the passengers put back to the train
with light hearts, and received the
hearty congratulations of the whole
train, who lamented nevertheless, the
sad fate Of the other thief, who passed
in his chips just few minutes before
the arrival of the express. The next
day when the eastbound express came
through the whole thing was given
away by the inhabitants of Hillard, who
pride themselves in having successfully
carried out one of the finest sells ever
perpetrated. The victim who had been
SO ruthlessly planted, was nothing but
overalls and shirt stuffed with straw
and pair of boots. The fellow who
came SO nearly being hung was nobody
but poor innocent tramp, whom the
miners intended to have little fun
with, and no intention whatever of
harming him. But report says that
Hillard resounded far into the night
with the unrestrained hilarity over the
success of their put-up job, until the
ransom money was exhausted. Here
after the conductor of the inveig led
train will not show his head in Hillard,
as he was one of the rescuing party,
and the worst duped Of all.

THE OLD SHIP.

In perilous ways. where oft with woful cry
We've heard the drowning sink to their ias

She has not failed Gs once through weary
years;
She's known my hand upon her helm for years
Some day, when great winds blow and tempesti
While every man stands at his post, wen sail
Unto that sea whence no man ever steers
The words rang in my heart and sleeping 50,

Thy mates in freest life are strong and green,
Their branches in the woods 70 fresh winds blow,
And ut their roots the sweet wild blossoms grow

Though oft the battles storm have withstood

The lannon's rage: the tempests wind and tide,
Grander such life than blowing in the wood.

Shall fluid me room below her lowest deep
and the noble hearts ! bear, some day,
Doing our very best shall pass away,
And men In honor shall our memory keep
The dream was but parable Dear heart,

IF death should walk with duty. DO not start

HindOO Saints Tricks.


When. lately returning from Bonn
with sanity old gentleman named
Jasawant Rao, of whoes miraculous
powers very strange tale are told. One
day the wife of wealthy native mer
chant dropped her nose-ring while in
the act of presenting cocoanut to a
man. In vain did he politely request
the lady to pick up her jewel; she vow.
ed that she could not be guilty of such
profanity after it had fallen of its own
accord at his feet. So Jasawant Rae
gave the ring to another woman who
happened to be standing by, and re-
turned the cocoanut to the merchants
home she was to battle, and then
break open the nut with her own
hands. These instructions being faith
fully carried out, the lady was reward
for her piety by finding her nose orna-
ment inside the cocoanut Such is the
tale as related by correspondent of a
leading native journal, who evidently
believes implicitly in its truth. No
doubt, a clever piece of jugglery.
These sanity personages are often
accomplished conjuors, and some OF
their Appliances show remarkable in
genuity. One of these is brass cup,
some three or four inches high, contain
ing an upright figure of Luchmee,
with her infant lying horizontally across
her bent arms. One foot of the brass
baby touches the upper edge of the
cup, Luchmee stands on the bottom.
On the water being poured in, the
cup fills gradually until the fluid reach
es the infants foot, when miracle
takes place. Out runs the water from
a hole in the bottom of the cup under
meath Luchmee's feet, but which does
not apparently penetrate to the inside,
and the stream never ceases for mo-
ment until every drop is drained out.
There is small hole in the side OF the
cup close where the infants foot touch
es the rim, but the odd thing is that al
though the water only commences to
run out of the bottom of the cup when
it reaches this orifce, the flowing con-
tinues after the surface of the fluid has
fallen below the only apparent exit
from the cup. We believe this in
genious apparatus is much used in
some parts of India to delude the ignor-
ant into belief in the miraculous powers
of wandering saints

Hearing Restored After Many Years.



Charles A. Cowles, compositor en-
pioyed in the Democrat and Chronicle
printing office, has been afflicted for 81
years with serious and increasing deaf
ness. Last evening, while eating his
supper, he suddenly began to hear
sounds which he had not heard before
since the fourth year of his age, when
he was rendered deaf by a severe at
tack of scarlet fever. The ticking oil
a clock, the ordinary conversation oil
people near him, and other like sounds
fell upon his hearing last evening
bringing with them grateful hope that
his years of deafness were drawing to a
close, if not already at an end. This
certainly appears to be one of the most
remarkable instances of complete re
storation on the part of nature herself
independent of medicinal or surgical
agencies. Mr.. Cowles is a man whose
mind is well stored with information
although it was impossible for him to
get even a common school education
when child He was too deaf to &C.
quire any benefit from from attending
an ordinary school He could not have
heard the teachers instructions unless
they were screamed in his ear. Con
sequently, when only II years of age,
he went into printing office to learn
his trade and acquire an education at
the same time.
A prominent citizen of Austin was
being propelled homeward by faith

Speaking by the Card !
Quincy tIll) Daily Herald.

C. H. Wood, Esq, of the C. & L
Ry., Port Huron, Michigan, favors our
correspondent with the following After
suffering for nearly year with rheu.
matism, receiving treatment from most
of the best physicians of Michigan and
the West, happened to try bottle Of
St. Jacobs Oil. Upon the first applica-
ton used fully half bottle, and its
effect was almost instantaneous / i'm
mediately dropped all other treatment,
and confined myself to its use alone.
After the use of three bottles, instead
of being driven to my business, OF
moving about on crutches, walked
from one to three miles daily about
business, and have been free from this
horrible disease for over year, not
having the slightest twinge of it.
Hence, I say that all medicines known
to me are useless when compared with
the Old German Remedy. Use this
statement when and where it suits.

A Lazy Woman.
Cincinnati Gazette.

A very peculiar case came up in
Justice Schwab's court yesterday after
noon. The case was one in which
J. S. Stokes had sworn out warrant
for the arrest of Mrs. Fenalson. the
wife of his partner in business which
they carry on at 688 West Sixth street.
The woman it is said, had threatened
to shoot Stokes, whom she accused OF
tampering with her husband in such a
manner that that individual refused to
give her any money. In court the facts
were brought out on the testimony OF
the woman herself to the effect that
she had done no work for eighteen
years past, and in ali that time has
sat in a chair, having woman wait on
her, and more thanthat, she did not in
tend to work for the simple reason that
she got married for the express purpose
of acquiring position in which she
would have nothing to do. The case
was decided against Mrs. Fenalson, and
when the justice told her that she must
give bonds to keep the peace, she re-
fused point blank to consent. Accord
ingly she was sent to the county jail
