The Sober Consequences of Practical
Joke. r,.. .....

JOHN SANDERS, the United States
mail-carrier between Ukiah and Cal
pella, Mendocino County, was stopped
on the 2Sth of last month, when on the
road about twenty miles from Ukiah
City. Columbus Harper, or "Tussy," as
he is nicknamed in those regions, was
the ''road agent" who pointed his dex-
ter finger aud hand at the mail-carrier
in the manner of a pistol and asked for
his money, which the carrier refused,
whereupon "Tussy' Harper commanded
him to surrender the horse, q demand
which Uncle Sans employee declined
with an oath, and then, squirting his
horse, rode off in haste. The carrier
lodged a complaint, and on the day fol.
lowing 'tTussy' was arrested by Sheriff
j. H. Donohue. Harper was lodged in
jail for few days, and the Marshal was
apprised of his Incarceration. But the
Marshal could not reach Ukiah in time,
on account of the condition of the roads,
and some influential friends interesting
themselves in behalf of "Tussy," he was
released from custody, which Deputy
Marshal Favor ascertained few days
ago when he reached the Jail. After a
hunt in the mountains the Marshal found
his man on Wiley English's ranch, Har-
per being sheep-shearer by occupa-
ton. The bogus road agent was brought
to this city on Tuesday, and was ac-
companied by some friends. The facts
of the case were represented by them to
the United States Attorney, who brought
Harper before Commissioner o Beirne.
Before him Harper claimed that the
whole thing was huge joke and was
done in pure fun, and being somewhat
under the influence of liquor at the time
he thought to flighten the carrier, whom
he had mistaken for friend, it being
the custom of the carrier to go on his
route in the morning instead of the even
ing, as on this occasion. He had no
pistol with him, and had only pointed
his right finger at the carrier. This
story was borne out by the carrier in all
particulars. The counterfeit road agent
presented a number of letters from per-
sons in Ukiah, testifying to his good
character. and in view of all circum
stances the charge was dismissed, and
"Tussy'' Harper was allowed to return
to his mountain home and sheep. San

Heaven.

1t is a suggestive fact that Heaven
takes its hue from our cherished desira
Robert Hall, who all his life was suf
ferer from physical pain, said his idea
of Heaven was REST, eternal restpi
A celebrated scholar, whose weak bodv
often obliged him to cease his studie:
expressed his idea of the Heayenlg
state by these words, Labor without
WEAKNESS"
But there never was a more pictur
esque compliment paid by child to a
Christian home than the one recorded
by Mrs. Peabody in her I" "Reminiscences
of DIR. Channing.''
The child was visitor, when nine
years old, at DIR. Channing's summer
home in Newport, K. /. The house
stood in the midst of an immense gar
den. In the morning, DR.. Claiming
would take the children and roam
through the garden. He would point
out to them the aspects of sky and
earth, the beauty of the flowers, and
the domestic life of the birds, some.
times aiding them in peering into the
nests among the bushes, in order that
they might note the progress of the
family.
At ten o'clock, when the hurry of the
morning work was over, little hand
bell called the family, servants and all.
to the family worship. Then with child
on each side of him, the good doctor
would read from the Bible in style
that made present, even to the children,
the sins and temptations of the
Israelites, or the teachings and works
of Christ. The prayer which followed
sympathized with the trials and tempta-
tons of children, and inspired them
with sense of their relation to the
good Father in Heaven.
''Oh, what beautiful time we are
havingn' said the little visitor, one
morning, after family prayers, enthused
by the freedom and joy BUSINESS OF the
family life.
One Sunday of the next winter, Miss
Peabody asked each of her Sunday
school class to think and tell her what
they would like Heaven to be.
''Good things to eat and drink" said
one, frankly. .... ....
"Piles and piles of books,' another
replied.
Thousands and thousands of flow.
ers," answered another.
But the little visitor of the previous
summer, whispering in her teachers
ear, said, Newport and all the folks"
and the picture in the child's mind Of
the beautiful garden, and the family
circle, with its rare fellowship, 'ne'a
reverent, earnest, happy life, was
delightful. and perhaps lifting, symbol
of the hereafter that God has revealed.
when life shall be swallowed up in i'm,

Shipping Live Hogs to Germany.

A CURIOUS experiment has been tried
in Germany for some months past with
success. 1t is the importation of live
hogs from the United States at the port
of Bremerhaven, from whence they are
shipped to Hanover, finding ready
market at Brunswick, Magdeburg, Cas-
sci and other North German cities. Last
June decree was issued forbidding the
importation of American chopped pork
and sausages into Germany, presumably
on trichinatous grounds, and some in
genious butchers hit upon this method
of evading the act, which said nothing
about live hogs, 1t was at first thought
that so may hogs would die upon the
voyage as to make the experiment rath-
er unremunerative, a loss of five per
cent. being the lowest that was thought
probable. Experience, however, has
proved that the loss is under two and
one-half per cent, which gave such an
impetus to the undertaking that a com.
pany has been formed for the purpose OF
building large lairs for the arrivals al
Bremerhaven, which is to be the hog
depot for Germany, the animals being
killed there and dispatched into the in.
terror by rail. The American hog has
more fat substance and less meat than
his German relative, and suggestion
has been made to import a number Of
German pigs into America for breeding
purposes. -Ne,o York San. TAP

The Blues.

When people are sick in body, they
usually want to do something for the
disease. They ought to be as wise
when mentally sick with that unnerV-
ing malady, the blues, and do some
thing, with an active emphasis on the
do. Too many, l fear, when in low
spirits. are tempted to "take some.
thing" A dose of morphine, q glass Of
wine. a good cigar, an exciting novel,
or an aimless holiday, seemsso pleasant
to take. But they do not cure, they
only aggravate the ailment. The har-
monious and simultaneous employment
of head, hands and heart is the avail
ing remedy. Plan some sensible work
and execute it. Take hold OF pillow or
hoe, saw or hammer, pen or yardstck,
needle or broom, and stir your bloody
stirring something to some purpose.
Where there is no positive bodily DIS
ease, one can do much toward dlspell'

Carlyle's Personal Appearance.

The Boston Home journal contains an
article on Carlyle, from the pen of Mr..
Geo. M. Towle, which derives additional
value from his having visited him twelve
years ago. Carlyle's appearance is thus
described:
A rather thick-set figure, of medium
height, somewhat bent, with rounded
shoulders awkwardly and heavily built;
ungainly and cumbrous in movement.
attired in clothes which only just escaped
the imputation of shabbiness, aud which
confessed themselves open to the charge
of being an execrable fit; unusually
large and ugly feet, incased in heavy
shoes; these were the first impressions
of the man as he slowly walked past, in
dreamy state which kept his eyes fixed
on vacancy. The movement of the
body was somewhat affected by age
sturdy pedestrian he must have once
been. The face, overshsdowed by big
SLOUGH hat, was :, certainly one never
to be forgotten. You thought you rec.
ognized a sort of Implication OF the
Scottish national traits; grim adherence
to opinion, the puritanic earnestness ane
| oDStlnacy; the strength and solldity am
searching force of the higher range of
Scottish intellect. The hair was thick,
knotty, gray, and grew far down on the
forehead in plenteous tufts. The FORE
head was low, broad, and projected
over the eyes. The eyes were very deep
and set in their large caverns, and were
shaded by heavy, 6ristling brows; they
were small, dull, and of a grayish blue
color. The nose was straight and bold,
but fine and sensitive-the only delicate
feature of the face. The almost shape
less mouth-with scarcely curve, the
neither lip slightly protruding beyond
the upper, was half hid beneath a short,
bristling gray mustache, and a rather
closely-cut gray beard, which seemed
all tangled and knotted, and covered
each cheek as well as the chin. The ex.
preston of the furrowed features, with
their strong deep lines crossing the
cheeks, was somber, thoughtful, and
wrapt. You could almost read the
troublous history of mind agitated
through long life, in the stern and re.
] polling force Of this expression.

lion must and will sue.

Stomach resection must and will sue
coed"
The cancer was very large one. The
Professor says he was s'ioyfully
amazed" at the rapidity with which his
patient began to recover. The form of
the stomach, he assures us, is scarcely
altered by the piece that was cut out.
He had expected much disturbance in
the stomach and local irritation; when,
therefore, everything went on in com;
paratively quiet way, without any of
these unfavorable symptoms, he scarce
ly dared believe it could continue. A
relapse into the patients former weak
condition might be looked for at any
time, he thought, and against this moth
ing could be done. But the relapse did
not occur. A few days after the opera
ton, at the, urgent entreaty of the
patient, he changed her to
large ward shared by number
of patients in common, because
she found herself SO lonesome in
an isolated room. At first after the
operation the patient was only given
milk for nonrishment. On the seventh
day tea and coffee were added to her
diet. No unpleasant effects followed.
Her temperature was almost normal,
and her pulse was stronger and quieter
than before the operation. She slept
well, and complained of no great pain.
At last accounts there was every reason
to look for her perfect recovery. The
story of the famous surgeons success
full operation is scarcely less interesting
to the general public than to the medi-
cal profession themselves. No wonder
the happy doctor is moved to say:
81 hope we have again made good
step forward in the work of healing
human beings hitherto regarded as in
durable, or, in case of return of the can
cerous affections, at least to relieve
them for period of time. You will,
perhaps, pardon me if feel certain
pride in the fact that through the labors
of my students this progress has become
possible" .i
