Romance Of a summer Resort.

Among the visitors at asmall hotel
near Falling Springs, Greenbrier
county, West Virginia, was James S.
Porter, a young man whose wealthy
parents live in Boston. Porter had
been roughing it in the mountains
since the latter part Of May. One Of
the first objects to catch his eye was
mountain lass, who lived.two miles
from the hotel. The young people
became acquainted casually, but the
girls brown cheeks were too much
for Porter and he visited the house Of
his sweetheart time and again. I'm.
fortunately for the youth, his knowl-
edge in games led the girls mother,
an old lady, whose Bible and specta
Giles were her Sunday companions
year in and year out, to suspect that
he was a gambler. The girl refused
to believe anything bad of Porter,
and in the face Of her mothers oppo.
sition she continued to receive her
lovers attentions. Last week she
agreed to quit her home with Porter
and to accompany him as his wife TO
Boston. They left the girls house,
on foot, and took wagon quarter
Of mile down the road. When, a
few minutes after they had started,
the brides father missed his daugh,
ter, be set out in hot haste and in
anger to stop the runaways. He
came upon them at a point where
the road was steep and rocky, and
when they whipped up their horses
he gave his animal such furious
cut that he was thrown from his
wagon down the mountain side. The
mad horse ran past the lovers, and
they knew that their pursuer had
bee injured. They went back, found
him, took him home and restored
him to consciousness. Subsequently
the young man won the confidence
Of the mountaineer couple and they
gave their consent to the marriage.

Southern Hospitality.

Mr. E. J. Cotton, of Chicago, in a
letter to The Field, the leading sport.
ing paper Of the West, who has
spent the last two winters in the
South, writes enthusiastically over
Southern hospitality, as well as of
the abundance Of game in that sec,
ton worthy the attention of sports.
men. He says for the information
OF Northern sportsmen who have
never been South, "that they will
receive more hospitality and genu-
Inc freedom, with courteous, OPEN
hearted hand from the Southern
people than their most sanguine
hopes have anticipated" Mr.. Col.
ton adds that any one who is preiu-
diced against the South on account
OF political feeling, climate, ETC.,
should avail themselves of the first
opportunity to take a trip South, and
the longer they remain there the
better they will like it, and he guar
antees that their prejudices will be
numbered with the things of the
past. Mr.. Cotton took in Tennessee,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Alabama, Geor.
gia and Florida in his trip. Hence
his opportunities for observation
were abundant and his conclusions
doubtless correct.

The Horrors Of life Imprison.

Absolute isolation from humanity
for period Of years is SO terrible a
punishment that no man can con.
template it as happening to himself,
even though sustained by conscious
innocence, without feeling of posi-
tive horror, and the prospect trans
cends imagination when the impris-
onment is for life. To be inclosed
within four walls with no hope be-
yond them, and to feel that there you
must stay day after day till carried
out feet foremost, must be the near
est approach to final despair which
any combination of earthly circum-
stances can produce.

"A Chinese funeral occurred in New

"A Chinese funeral occurred in New
York the other day. With one excep-
ton the attendants were al male. The
pail bearers and mourners were clad in
white. The bearers were followed by a
coach containing a basket of wax can.
dies and joss-sticks for use at the burial.
Next came q band of musicians, who
made all the noise they could with
gongs, cymbals and horns. The master
of ceremonies rode on the hearse and
continually scattered to the wind small
bits of rice paper. When the grave was
reached the musicians made day hide
Gus while the coffin was lowered by the
eight white-robed bearers. When the
earth had been leveled, banner was
planted at each end of the mound. Then
the basket was brought and the wax
candles were lighted at the foot of the
mound. The joss-sticks were also light
ed upon the grave, burning with a pleas
ant Odor. At the same time little fire
was kindled at the side and paper money
was burned there. The remainder of
the rice paper was pinned to the grave.
Then the friends of the dead man
passed in turn around the grave and
made a low bow to it with clasped hands

Mortality in Different Pursuits.

The reports of the British Registrars
General show that the annual death
rate in the United Kingdom is about
one in forty-live of the entire population.
The larger, but not the largest. towns
lead in the rate of mortality, and the
rural mainland districts occupy an in
termediate place between them and the
insular districts, the. extremes varying
by about fifty per cent. As between
the three great classes into which the
population may be divided-the labor
ing. the trading and professional class
es, and the gentry and titled-the
chances of life are very nearly equal. al
though slight advantage appears to be
shown in favor of the frs: class. The
trades most unfavorable to long life are.
as rule, those which tend to expose
the operative to an atmosphere loaded
with dust, or compel him to deal in one
way or another with pOisons. Dry
grinding, as practiced on needles and
forks at Sheffield, is the worst; work
ing in coal mines is next in deadliness.
Gilders and silverers of glass are ex-
posed to vapors of mercury; workers
in brass are liable to diseases produced
by exposure to volatilized oxide
of lead; all who work in paints
are subject to great risks; soldiers
and sailors have their lives shortened
by the exposure they have to undergo.
or by diseases brought on by their hab-
its of living. Bakers, tailors and milli-
ners are liable to consumption; compos-
itors peculiarly so. Freshmen fare bet
ter than compositors, probably because
their work is more active. In the cOun-
try, farming appears to be the most
healthy of occupations. while that of the
innkeeper is the most fatal. Butchers
die comparatively early, as also do
brewers, draymen, and generally those
who have much to do with establish
ments for eating and drinking. The
over-exertion of those who follow ath-
letic pursuits appears to conduce quite
as much to short life as does the seden-
tary strain of the student. 1t seems to
make but little difference in the eek
pectation of life" of indoor workers
whether their labor is hard or not; but
those who are employed Out-of-doors
have a chance of living six years longer,
if their work keeps them busy and active,
than if it is a mere matter of routine
and standing around; and a "compari-
son of the tables leads us to the cOnclu-
sion that the life of the outdoor worker
with little exercise is worse than that of
the sedentary indoor worker, whether
with little or with great exercise" The
most curious fact brought out is that
the scavengers, dustmen and cleaners
of sewers in London are reckoned
among the healthiest of the population.

1t appears that every known trait
of the mound-builder was possessed al
so by the Indian at the time of the dis
covery of America. 1t hence becomes
unnecessary to appeal to any, other
agency than the Indian. 1t is poor
philosophy and poor science that resorts
to hypothetical causes when those al
ready known are sufficient to produce the
known effects. The Indian is q known
adequate cause. The assignment of the
mounds to any other dynasty was born
of that common reverence for the past,
and for the unexplainable, which not
only unconsciously augments the actual,
but revolts at the reduction of these
works to the level of the existing red
man.-Popular Science Monthly.

"A great discovery has been made on
the Mojaye Desert, says San Francisco
paper, which seems destined to revolu-
tionize vine-culture in Southern Califor-
mia. 1t has been found that grape cut
tiDgs, inserted in the trunk of the cacti
on the desert, grow and thrive as Wig
orously as in cultivated land. This fact
is of great importance to the people. BY
the use of a chisel man can plant a
large vineyard in day, and the vines
so planted will climb the cactus and
grow luxuriantly without cultivation or
irrigation. The dry, hot sands of the
desert will afford fine place for drying
raisins. In addition to grapes it has
been proved that melons, cucumbers
and tomatoes will grow from the cactus
stock.
