There was one woman. youn.

There was one woman, young and
very demure, among the passengers in
an Arizona stage coach, and when a
gang of masked robbers appeared, she
told the five men in the vehicle to hand
their watches and money to her. They
did so, and she hastily hid the articles
under her clothing. When the high
waymen came to her in their search, She
blushingly begged them to be content
with examining her pockets, vowina
with upturned eyes and solemn toues
that she had nothing concealed. They
gallantly complied, and went away with
only few stray dollars, missing thirgI
worth about S10.00O.-N. Y. Mail.

THE COL. BILL WILLIAMS MINE.

They had struck it at Boulder. The
"Col. Bill Williams Mine" up Boulder
Canyon was said to be richer than the
Comstock. Californians forsook ranches,
mines and vineyards, and poured like
q torrent from the West into Denver
At Denver this tide met like stream
from the East. These streams united
and flowed on together into Boulder
Canyon.
The writer was borne in on the crest
of this flood tide and reached the famous
ssCol Bill Williams Mine" at twilight,
when the Colonel had gone to his sup
per, and his men were busy, lighting
the pine torches and knots that hung
about the mine, preparatory to setting
the miners at work in the shaft for the
night.
The mine was situated on little flat
in the great canyon, just under the no.
tel and the few other houses that made
up the town, on one side of the canyon,
the savage cliffs that looked down from
from the other.
An hour later, when the new famous
mine was in operation, there were to be
seen a creaking derrick, with ropes
enough to rig ship, a shaft, with men
passing up and down, dripping and mud
dy,and talking mysteriously and wagging
their heads at each other, as if down
there they had come upon the hidden
and awful secrets of the earth; while
over all the blazing pine-knots shed a
wild and gorgeous light.
Close by the side of this shaft an en-
terprising red-headed man, called "Gin-
ger" had established a bar for the
benefit of the dripping and mysterious
men who kept climbing up and down
the shaft. An awning of canvas COW
cred the few bottles that stood on the
rough boards constituting this "bar;''
and behind the derrick, which was kept
busy hosting rocks and buckets of
earth from out the shaft, there was
piled up as high as mans head ragged
wall Of quartz and granite. Through
this there was an open pass or gate
wished to see the new discovery, the
great "Col. Bill Williams Mine"
Standing there, and out a little from
the light Of the flaming torches, a thou
sand camp-fires could be seen. The
whole face of the Rockies seemed to be
illuminated. The host that had poured
in from the four parts of the world were
camped before the mighty citadel OF
Fortune as in siege. Looking up this
canyon and on and up the mountains
into heaven, it was difficult to say where
the camp-fres left off and the stars be-
gan.
The men kept coming up and going
down this shaft so busily that stranger,
or one not used to mines and miners,
would have said there were at least a
thousand brave and stalwart men down
there. But an old Californian would at
once have detected that there was some
thing singularly superficial in this, and,
indeed, in all the appointments of the
place. He would have noticed, too,
that the men saluted the barkeeper

regularity.

"Oh, no, Johnnie; Paul was very

In an article in Our Continent, Pres
ident Eliot, of Harvard University, says:
"It is plain that by the steady expansion
and Improvement of the electric system
the American college Is to be gradually
converted into a university of new
kind; not an English university, because
it will not subordinate teaching to exam
ming, or enforce any regulations by the
means of bars, gates and fines. and not a
German university, because the elective
system does not mean ikerty to do moth
ing, and no American university has
absolved itself, as the German univer-
sity has done, from all responsibility for
the moral training and conduct of stu
dents; bat university of native growth,
which shall secure to its teachers an in
spring liberty and an unlimited scope in
teaching, offer its students free choice
among studies of the utmost variety,
maintain . discipline adequate to the
support of good manners and good NOR
ais, but determined by the quality of the
best students rather than 81 the worst,

Stories About Blind Men.

Three men, two Of them blind, we're
drinking together one night, in the
room of public house, and, as is too
often the result of such convivial meet
ings, one of the blind men quarreled,
and came to blows with the man that
could see. Here was likely to be bat
tie not by any means on equal terms.
But the other blind man was equal to
the occasion. That the man who could
see should have no undue advantage
over his less fortunate opponent, up
jumped the blind friend and turned off
the gas, and so they pommeled each
other in harmless way for a time. We
have given an illustration of the warlike
passion. AS an Offset, we could give
many illustrations of that gentler pas
sion, love, for the blind are eminent dis
ciples of Cupid and Hymen. AS rule,
respectable blind man has no difficulty
in getting seeing wife, and very often
with good looks, to boot. And when
finger tips of the blind, the latter is not
to be wondered at. Blind men, how
ever, do not always marry wives who
see. We know OF many instances
in which both husband and wife
dI0 Oliuu auQ nave IndIluReu W
rear families without the occurrence of
any serious mishap to either themselves
or their children. And the cases are
rare in which the latter are defective in
sight. Only lately the marriage took
place of blind couple somewhat ad-
vanced in years, she being his second
wife, and he her third husband. The
marriage was not wanting in the ele-
ments of romance, for in their young
days they had courted and parted, blind
in double sense. We will conclude with
courtship, but in this case will not
vouch for its truth. A blind man on sew
eral occasions met widow, who was not,
however, like himself, blind, and latterly
concluded that she would make him a
good wife. He resolved that he would
pop the question without loss of time.
Accordingly one evening found him in
the widows house for that purpose,
when his suit was entirely successful.
But so elated was he with his success that
on leaving her door, he forgot he was up
a flight of stairs. The staircase window
being very low, and happening to be
open, he felt the air on his heated brow,
and at once stepped out without think
ing where he was, and so fell into the
court below. The widow hearing the
noise, ran down, greatly alarmed, but
was fully treasured that no bones were
broken by his remark: maggie, We bae
big step to your door. ~ Chambers
Journal.
