He Mixed Those Bottles Up.

A gentleman, returning home from
the Gilroy Hot Springs by coach, was
asked that riding inside disagreed with
her. AS he wac making his way to
the inside berth, she babe him take
especial care of two bottles of Gilroy
wator which she was carrying to her
husband. AS it happened, the lady
the lady had contrived to make her
self very disagreeable to her fellow
visitors at the springs and the pas
sengor she had ousted from his seat
determined to have his revenge. Open
ing each of the bottles he poured out
half the contents, and filled them up
with whisky. Before many days elapsed
the proprietors of the Gilroy Springs
received the following elegant epistle,
dated San Francisco, August 30th,
1869: "Sirs--You are a precious lot
of scamps-you are! My wife raid a
visit to your confounded place, and
brought back some spring water. |

stuff, and went to the Good Templars.

Volume XXXVIII.---No. 28.

1t seems that she was sitting in the
front seat in the gallery, and slid
straight forward on to the floor, thrust.
ing her unconscious ! feet right
through the gallery rail.
They must have been a startling
pair of feet to view, for the moment
they were observed by the congrega-
ton the panic stricken worshipers
raised the cry that the gallery was
giving way, evidently mistaking the
swaying feet for displaced columns or
bracket braces. In the most worldly
manner the congregation made rush
for the doors and in the panicthe
saints trod the sinners under foot, and
the sinners walked along on the backs
of the saints, according to the respec-
tive size of saint and sinner, all being
animated by the desire to get out from
under the threatening shadow of those
oyerhanging feet. In the midst of
the confusion and terror, one of those
unconhned lunatics whose mission is
to say and do the most idiotic things
under the guise of sanity, sprung
through the window and shouted fire,
and unfortunately escaped alive.
That brought the fire department and
3mlscellaneous crowd of a few thous-
and men and boys swarming around
the church, and although Chaplain
McCabe began singing hymn at the
top of his rather penetrating voice the
panic could not be stayed and the
people got out, but there wasn't fall
bonnet in the congregation fit to look
at.
And how badly this woman must
have felt when she realized how great
ruin she had wrought by fainting in
that ridiculous manner, sticking
through the gallery rail like saw
buck on picket-fence. And how the
women with ruined hats will glare at
her, especially those women who can't
afford to buy new ones. A woman
who is given to fainting ought always
to pick out suitable place before she
lets go; and no woman whose feet is
sufficiently startling in their develop
ment to throw a congregation Of wor-
shippers into panic, has any right to
faint at all .-Burdette.

A Cool Detective.

AS IL rule, highwaymen in the min
ing States seldom operate upon u stage
coach with "U. S. NJ" on it. They
know that these initials stand for the
United States mail, and are pledge
that the whole poser of the Govern
ment will be us d to capture tenn.
The detectives in the Government
service are quiet men, courteous in
manner and gentle in speech. Mr..
Hayes tells, in his book on 'New Col
orada," of one whom he met, who wore
gold spectacles, and looked like
German professor. Yet this man
alone took two mail robbers from the
north to Texas.-At one place their
friends planned rescue. He quietly
informed his prisoners that, while
their friends could undoubtedly kill
him, they might be sure, that the
first motion would send them both
into eternity. Not man in the
crowd moved finger.
On one occasion celebrated detec-
tive was on the stage which was at
tackled by two masked men. The first
he knew was that two revolvers were
thrust into the coach's windows, with
the command GLANDS up gentlemen ~
The highwaymen had "the DROP on
the passengers, which, in their vocab-
ulary, meant the certainty of being
able to kill before being harmed them
selves. TO his disgust, the detective
was compelled to give up his watch
and money.
AS the robbers left, he put his hand
down in the "boot," and to his de-
light it touched carbine. Asking
the driver to 60 on little farther and
wait for him, went back alone.
The two men, unsuspicious of dam
ger were "divvying up the spoils in
the middle of the road. This was
just what the detective had calculated
on.
''Now, you scoundrels, it's my turn"
he shouted, covering them with the
carbine. ''Throw up your
hands, or I'll shoot"
The robbers, at his command, step
ped one side, holding up their hands,
while he picked up their revolvers. 1t
was not many minutes before the as
passengers saw the two high
waylnen walking meekly down the
road with the cool detective following.
They were taken in the coach and f.
nally lodged in Jail.
The hero was Gen. Charles Adams,
who su subsequently, went alone among
the Utes and secured the release of
the women captives from the White
River Agency.

Wind and w Gather,

At recent meeting of the Farmers
club Of the American Institute, Mr..
\. J. De Voc, of Hackensack, n. j.,
sent the following ten short rules by
the use Of which person can stand
beneath his own vine or tree in any
part of the Northern Hemisphere
(north of latitude ffteen). and for
hundreds of miles around him he can
form an accurate opinion how the
wind and weather are progressing:
l. When the temperature falls sud.
denly there is = storm forming south
.. Wn-rrnr temperature rises sud-
denly there is a storm forming north
of you.
3. The wind always blows from a
region Of fair weather toward a re-
gion where a storm is forming.
/. Circus clouds always move from
region where storm is in progress
toward Il region of fair weather.
). Cumulus clouds always move
from a region of fair weather, toward
region where storm is forming.
6. When cirrus clouds are moving g
rapidly from the north or northwest
there will be rain in less than twenty
four hours, no matter how cold it
may be.
:. When cirrus clouds are moving
rapidly from the south or southwest
there will be cold rain storm on the
morrow if it be summer, and if it be
winter there will be snow storm.
s. The wind blows in a circle
around storm, and when it blows
from the north the heaviest rain is
east of you: from the south, the heav.
lest rain is west; from the east, the
heaviest rain is south; from the west
the heaviest rain is north of you.
9. The wind never blows unless
rain or snow is falling within one
thousand miles of you.
10. Whenever heavy white frost
occurs storm is forming within one
thousand miles north or northwest O
you.

The Newspaper of To-day.

But the newspaper of to-day bears
little or no resemblance to the per-
sonal organ of olden times. Tele-
graphy, fast mails, the march Of edu-
cation and thirst for knowledge have
built up the press, modern institu-
ton, profession and craft in one,
which overshadows the small strifes
of place. e.hunters, and is the superior,
not the servant, of politicians, because
it typifes the people. The Journal
ism of to-day offers within its own
limits all possible opportunities for
advancement, all proper incentives to
ambition, all worthy rewards to those
who deserve them. 1t embraces in its
rank--thanks perhaps to the absence
of protection for other forms of Amer
lean literary industry-the best heads,
the clearest minds and the most facils
pens in the land. AS an instructor
and mentor it has dwarfed the school
room, the pulpit and the rostrum. AS
and interpreter and guide of public
opinion, it has power which no tri-
bune like Cicero nor premier like Pitt
ever swayed in ante-journal days. lis
service is one upon which young men
of brain and industry can enter with
devotion to their task, a command.
ing sense of its dignity and response
5ility and a certainty of appreciation
for good work which belongs tosno,
other profession.

An Awkward Faint.

Some women never can faint in the
proper manner nor at the right time.
And if woman cannot bring about
this happy combination OF time and
swoon, she had better get along with
ont swooning. Now, here about two
weeks ago, one Sabbath evening, at
Bradford. Pennsylvania, the best be-
haved and most Thoroughly moral
town in the oil country, a city not
given to fainting or other unsecnly
displays during religious services, the
Methodist Episcopal Conference was
in session and its ministers were con-
Quoting service, Just after the ordina-
ton of deacons woman in the gallery
tainted. Now, while the ordination
of deacons is most holy, solemn and
deeply impressive ceremony, it is not
widely thrilling and exciting
like the initiation scenes il
the Sons Of Malta, and it is nothing
to faint over. But, this woman tainted
and beautiful faint she made of it
