IN THIS CITY.

Yesterday afternoon Mrs. Heyman,
the wife OF the jeweler, appeared be.
fore Justice Philips and demanded q
warrant for her husband, alleging that
she feared he would kill her. The Jus.
tice, learning that Heyman was under
arrest in Bellaire, declined to issue the
warrant Later on. however, Heymsn
was released on bail and came to this
city. The warrant was then issued and
he was arrested and taken to the Juf-
tees Office, where he gave bond in the
sum Of 500 for his appearance at 10
o'clock this morning.
II seems that Heyman has sworn out
warrants for Stevens charging him with
adultery. OF this, there are many sto-
ries afloat, some OF which are quite
thrilling. When the cases come to trial
there will doubtless be some interesting
developments.

Without knowing who the child was,
he plunged into the river, and after
some trouble saved her. The child
turned out to be his own sister. Not
content with having rescued her from
death, Genin, like good hearted little
boy, wanted to shield her from the pun

too near the river. contrary to her par

her disobedience on himself and re-
ceived beating from his father. The
little girl, however, could not bear to
see him suffer in this way. and after

corroborated by the evidence OF an eye

How Andrew jackson Felt About His
Nomination.

Bishop Paine, in the Nashville Chris
tian Advocate, saws: Upon one occa-
sion l called at the Hermitage, and
soon perceived there was trouble there
Mrs. Jackson was in tears, and the
General unusually silent and sad. Pri-
.vately the cause soon leaked out. A
committee of the Tennessee Legisla-
ture, then sitting in Murfreesboro. had
just left the Hermitage; they had come
to inform the General that the Legisla-
ture would nominate him for President
of the United States. unless he should
forbid it. Mrs. Jackson was exceed
ingly distressed. She loved home and
retirement, and had no taste or ambi-
ton to be gratilied elsewhere; but her
greatest objection was that she feared
the political strife incident to the NOM
inatiOn would divert the attention of
her husband from the subject of reli-
gion, and imperil his salvation.
He. too. shared in these feelings, Say
ing: II have been looking forward to

more anxious for his salvation than his

A Horse Attacked by a Weasel.

A remarkable incident occurred re-
Gently upon a farm in Scotland. A
farmer was plOwing in one of his fields,
which was nearly completed, and was
passing to within a foot OF two of the
fence wall. when suddenly and tc the
surprise of tho farmer, one of the
horses became restive and wild, and
refused to proceed in his work. This
was an unusual circumstance, and the
farmer was puzzled to make out the
cause of it. Srizing the reins in his
hands, he walked toward the horses
head, when, to his astonishment. he
found that large weasel had attacked
the horse by springing upon it and
fastening it's teeth in the frightened an
mails neck. It was moment of excite
ment and alarm. but the farmer was
equal to the emergency. With we'll
directed stroke of the reins tho weasel
was dislodged and killed. The horse
soon recovered from his fright. and in
due course plowing was resumed. The
cause of the daring attack upon the
horse was explained upon the return
Journey, with the plow breadth near
er the YkllS where at the place of at
tack the stock turned over nest OF
young weasels, the object of anxious
solicitude to the parent weasel. 1t was
the well-grounded fear of harm to her
young that had inspired tho heart OF
the parent weasel to perform an act of
daring that one could almost regret
should have been so disastrous to itself

How Thew Salt a Claim

Il wish you would explain to me all
about this sailing of claims that hear
so much about" said meek-eyed ten
derfoot to a grizzly old miner who was
panning about six ounces of pulverized
quartz. 81 don't see what they want
to salt claim for, and don't under
stand how they do it.
''Well, you see, a hot season like this
they have to salt a claim lots of times
to keep it. A fresh claim is good
enough for fresh tenderfoot, but old
timers won't look at anything but q
picked claim. You know what quartz
is, probablyp"
s.No."
..Well, every claim has quartz. Some
more or less. You find out how many
quartz there arc. and then put in so
many pounds of salt to the quart.
Wild cat claims require more salt, be-
cause the wild cat spoils quicker than
anything else.
..Sometimes you catch sucker, too,
and you have to put him in brine pret-
ty plenty or you will lose him. That 5
one reason why they salt claim.
''Then. again, you often grub stake
q man"
But what is a grub stake?'
Weli, q giuD stake Is stake LDat
the boys hang their grub on SO they
can carry it. Lots of mining men have
been knocked cold by blow from a
grub stake.
'.What wanted to say, though, was
this: You will probably at first strike
free-miliing poverty, with indications
of something else. Then you will no
doubt sink till you strike bedrock. or a
true fissure gopher hole. with traces of
disappointment.
That's the time to put in your salt.
You can shoot it into the shaft with a
double-barreled shotgun, or wet it and
apply it with n whitewash brush. If
people turn up their noses at your
claim then. and say it is a snide, and
that they think there is something rot
ten in Denmark, you can tell them that
they are clear of, and that you have
salted your claim and that you know it
is all right
The last seen of the tenderfoot he
was buying double-barreled shotgun
and ten pounds of rock salt.
There's no doubt but mining camp
is the place to send o young man who
wants to acquire knowledge and fill his
system full of information that will be
useful to him SO long as he lives.-BiU

Garfield as a Senator.

Jay Charlton wrote thus of President
Garfield, Jan. %, 1880:
This man, who at an age which has
not yet touched the fifties, will be one
of the strongest republicans in the
United States senate when he takes his
scat. He is both scholarly and practi-
cal, perhaps too greatly devoted to
books instead of to men, but one who
can handle his knowledge in masterly
manner, and who needs no preparation.
as he certainly never needed a second
challenge. to enter into the hottest de-
bate. His keen inqpisitiveness leads
him to seek knowledge under the mid
night lamp, and makes him keen in
quisitor in the practical trays which oc-
cur under the midday sun. He is one
of the best parliamentarians in the
country. Every rule of debate and of
legislation is at the tip of his tongue.
His life as canal boatnan is probably
SO well remembered that his scholarly
habits will not destroy his democratic
feelings. He is not eloquent in the
sense that Phillips and Conkling are.
He is powerful, nevertheless, and he
will be one of the four or five republic
can leaders in the Senate.

An Engineers Race for Life,

At Pantano, saws the Tucson (Ar.)
Journal, the brakes of fiat car, loaded
with ties, became looseued in some mex
plicable manner, and the car began to
move down the steep grade toward Gle
naga. A bystander jumped aboard and
endeavored to tighten the brakes. He,
however, found them unmanae cable.
Another tried and failed. A regular
brakeman then boarded the car and
quickly discovered that the brakes were
out of order. The car by that time had
increased its speed to fully twenty
miles an hour, and TO remain upon it
would be almost sure death when the
first washout was reached. He there
fore called to the other two men on the
car TO jump, and this they did.
Engineer Frank Shaw at this time
was sitting on his engine at Pantano,
and attached to his locomotive was a
car filed with Cinnamon. He at once
realized the terrible result, if this rum
away flat car was all ,wed to proceed
unchecked on its way, for a score OF
more of laborers were engaged far down
deep gulch in Tire Cienega pass
Strengthening the braces of a broken
bridge that spanned ii. They would
not be able to hear the approaching car.
weakened timbers. probably crush many
beneath its weight. AS these thougts
flushed through his mind, he pulled
wide open the throttle-valve and started
in pursuit of the faSt-receding car. 1t
was a race for life, and Shaw was soon
laundering down the track at sixty
miles an hour with the carload of ter
rified Cinnamon behind him. The flat
car ahead was increasing in speed at
every turn of the wheels, and the grade
there is very steep. The locomotive.
however, kept gaining, and finally
Shaw placed the lever in charge of his
fireman, criwled to the cow-catcher.
and, taking the heavy coupling rod in
his hand, stood in the perilous position
until the car was reached.
The chasm where the men were
working came in sight, and still the
fugitive car was two hundred yards
away. He called to his fireman to
open wider the valve, and the laboring
engine made lurch that showed she
had felt the increased volume of stea M.
They sped on with lightning rapidity.
The space between them gradually less
ened. Shaw stood with the rod in one
hand and the coupling-pin in the other.
Finally the few feet disappeared. and
with dexterous hand, that comes from
practice and q cool brain, the coupling
was made. The locomotive was re-
versed, and the train came to stand
still within fifty feet of the bridge. This
is the way one man saved many lives.
