The Reason why.

A good many years ago, when a cer-
tain place in Texas was. very small
town, quite number of prominent citi-
zens were out on an expedition. One
night, when they were all gathered
around the camp fire, one of the party
suggested that each man should give the
time and reason for his leaving his ma
tive State and coming to Texas, where
upon each one IN turn told his expert
ence. Judge Blank had killed man in
self defense, in Arkansaw. General
Soandso had forged another mans sig
nature to check, while another came to
Texas on account of his having two
wives. The only man who did not make
any disclosures was o sanctimonious.

fessicnal gambler, was usually called

A Lightning Shot Gun.

Mr.. G. NJ. Spencer, of this city, the
inventor of the famous 'sSpencer rifle, !"
which made such havoc in the late war,
has just perfected the invention of an
other gun, which promises great results
for sporting purposes. The new weapon
is a repeating, single barrel shot gun,
which is capable Of firing ten shots in
five seconds, or two second. The gun
shown to us, which is nearly completed,
is II guage, 28-inch barrel and weighs
II pounds, while ordinary double
breach-loaders Of the same calibre weigh
from one to two pounds more. The in
vention is an ingenius one, by which the
weapon can be operated by two single
motions of instantaneous effect. A tube
of sufficient size to hold ten short cart
ridges runs along underside the barrel:
and, as stated above, these ten cartridges
can be discharged in five seconds
Bringing the gun to the shoulder with
the left hand, as it is usually placed un
der the barrel of an ordinary gun, it is in
position to operate the leading mechan-
ism. With the left hand placed upon
the wooden support attached to the tube
containing the cartridges and gently
grasping it, simply bringing the hand
back opens the breech, throws out the
discharged shell and cocks the gun;
while the forward motion of the same
hand loads the barrel and brings the
breech back into place. The two mo-
tions which accomplish all this can so
easily and rapidly be made with the gun
at the shoulder as to scarcely disturb the
aim. The rapidity of loading and firing
is marvellous, and this new invention
must be set down as the most rapid sport
ing gun in the world-so rapid indeed as
to make it almost one continuous req ort.

10 Frisco and Back.

81 came in to give you an item of
my arrival in town, said hairy man,
yesterday, who wandered into the
Boomerang office, wearing an old-fash-
ioned Seymour coat, split down the
back, and a pair of low-necked pants
draped about him and daintily secured
in front with tenpenny nail.
s.I passed through your town last
May, and you noticed in your paper
that I was West-bound passenger on
the overland train. / have called to tell
you that am on my way back.
Had a pleasant trip9'
Well, only partially so. enjoyed
the journey out to San Francisco very
much. Went out in section No. III Of
Pullman to take position as cashier of a
Frisco bank, but when got there I
found an old man holding the job who
had given good satisfaction for nine
years.
II hadn't the heart to take the place
from him, and the President seemed to
feel the same about it.
$50 you didn't get the job?"
mo, not very much. I couldn't get
confirmed by the Senate. The President
told me that perhaps could get posi-
tion as sergeant-at-arms of hen-raneh
up the gulch, but I embezzled four
dozen eggs to take me into the circus,
and while was looking at the black
something of that kind, came along and
called me down.
81 am now returning to my native
town on L.y own recogniEance, or on leg
bail as the common heard would call il. !"
Are you going by special carp"
mot exactly. / got chance to walk
part of the way, and from here to Omaha
{ shall take position of steer inspector
extraordinary on q stock train.
1t is quite a change to go West
in Pullman, and then work your
passage home by punching cattle
at the station. However, wanted you
to say simply that passed through on
my way East one day, and will send
the paper home. Make it as full of
glittering pomp and ornamental scollops
as possible, and will pay you for it.
You see I'll get pretty nearly home, and
I'll take a bath and fix up little, and
come into town in pretty good shape;
and now all want is the aid and en-
couragement of the press. Do you seem
to grasp my meaning?
'.Yes, sir; we tumble. !"
.sAll right. just say that Mr. yelling
Kersikis passed East the other day, in
his special car, Boise City, having been
on visit to the Pacific Coast, with a
view of purchasing the State of Cali
fornia as country seat. This is de-
composed ie,of course; but you just say
how much the strain on your conscience
will be, and I'll go down in my oyeralls
and make it all right
This is why we have charged this ar
ticle at ten cents a line on the company's
books-Bill Nye in Laramie Boone

A vnIsge Postmaster.

A village postmaster wrote to the post
master-general: :" A mans wife dropped
letter in this Office addressed to another
man. The husband suspects something
wrong. Shall / deliver tue letter TO
him ?" The postmaster general answered
that the husband could not get the letter
In that way.
Nowhere is vigilance so eternal as in
the village postoffice. The postmaster
carries the epistolary affairs of his con-
stituency in his head. He scents clan
destine correspondence as readily as
rat scents roast cheese. He knows ex
actly who drops every letter in the box
and when woman sends one adj
dressed to another man." in the interest
of morality he does something. Practice
and concentration of mind enable him
to keep posted, not only as to who writes
the letters which pass through his hands,
but what they write about. He excels
any mind-reader or ciairvoyant in the
remarkable art of reading letter with
out breaking the SEAL The size, style.
weight and general appearance of a
missive help him to determine its
contents. He makes study of his
patrons faces when they receive and de-
posit letters, and goes about puffed up
like balloon with secret knowledge of
his neighbor's affairs. A chirography
he is unfamiliar with is subject of
speculation and sometimes uneasiness to
the village postmaster. He feels in
jured when q stranger sends a letter
through his office. He enjoys the
embarrassment of the lovers whose pre-
cious exchange of endearments pass
through his hands. When he meets one
of them he throws into his eyes look of
knowing all things and telling nothing,
so long as he is treated with proper re-
spect. He is the marplot who
illustrates many elopements by drop
ping a significant word into the
ear of the girls father. He precipitates
many scandal by intimating that there
are things which had better not be told; !;
and when it comes to wisdom in cardiac
affairs, the recording angels book can
hardly keep pace with him. He is
always on the side of high morality.
When it comes to the question of mans
wife writing to another man. the post
master shirks nothing which will bring
the guilty parties to grief and incite q
fuss. He will telegraph the Postmaster
General, detain the letter, or do any
thing except keep still and send the letter
on its way. In his observing eye indi-
vidual rights are of no consequence, and
public morality everything. He is a
feature OF individual life both terrible
and reprehensib.le. Indianapolis Re-

An ENGLISH RoBBER IN RoME.--A gen

in one of the showy arcades of the Coils
scum of Rome, when he was somewhat
brusquely hustled by passing figure.

to his watch-pocket. His watch was
gone. He darted after the thief, and

his CONSERVATION, on entering his bed

had forgotten to put on, staring him in
the face from the mantlepiecel He had
been the thief and the other wretched
man had stumbled over him in the dark,
and when overtaken was merely clutch

nerve to rescue from the tourist. That
tourist is now known to wide and adj

The merchant 20 busy,
The briak walking clerk,
The pretty young shop girl,

The friend Of lifetime,
The friend Of q year,
On the thoroughfare common
You see them all here.
The young married couple
Just welded last week,
The emigrants many
Who fortunes would seek,
This sire and his helpmeet,
With heads white as snow,
Who were welded to happiness
Long years ago.
On cold winter evenings
They hurry along
TO churches and concerts,
A bright, moving throng.
To parties and weddings
Their way they pursue,
Dressed In garments Of beauty
OF every known hue.
The poor, homeless wanderer,
Him, also, / meet
Among the great highways,
Or on the grand street.
Yet be Is my neighbor--
/ know not his name
And so is the halt, and the blind,
And the lame.
And set me TO thinking,
In my room TO night,
As take up NV vaper,
And turn up my light,
That 'tis pleasant to feel,
when the day is complete,
That we've made some heart glad
or the people we meet.
