Hidden Money Found BY Digging.
Brownsville Gazette.

During the war or some time after
a negro entered the house of a
wealthy Georgian residing IN the
western part of this country and
walked out with large sam of his
money. His wife thinking it I'M
safe to keep money in the house
after that, took the remainder,
amounting to several hundred dol
lars and dividing it in several par
GELS of 800 or $500 each buried them
in as many places, where no one but
herself could find it. Soon there
after she sickened and died before
telling where she had hid the money.
One of the parcels was buried in the
smOke-hOuse. A few weeks since
the old gentleman hired his son-in-
law to clean out the smoke-house
and he in turn, engaged a negro to
assist him. After removing the
surface for some distance a few half
dollars were shoveled up and soon
a sum of about $400 was dug up.

Father Tells HIS Daughter How to Treat
vrs Her Mother trTvr ra.y f.
Centeryille (Md.) Record.

A father talking to his careless
daughter, said I want to speak
to you of your mother. 1t may be
that you have noticed a careworn
look upon uU her face lately. OF
course, it has not been brought
there by any acts of yours, still it is
your duty to chase it away. /
want you to get up tomorrow
morning and get breakfast; and
when your mother comes and be-
gins to express her surprise go
right up to her and kiss her on The
mouth you can't imagine, how it
will brighten her dear face. Be
sides, you owe her d kiss or two.
Away back, when you were little
girl, she kissed you when no one
else was tempted by your fever
tainted breath and swollen face.
You were not as attractive then as
you are now: And through those
years of childish sunshine and
shadows she was always ready to
cure, by the magic of a mothers
kiss, the little, dirty chubby hands
whenever they were injured in
these first skirmishes with the
rough old world. And then the
midnight kiss with which she rou-
ted 50 many bad dreams rs she
leaned above your restless pillow
have all been on interest these long.
long years. OF course, she Is notso
pretty and kissable as you are; but
if you had done your share of work
during the last ten years the con-
trast would not be so marked. Her
face has more wrinkles than yours,
far more and yet if you were sick
that face would appear more beau
tiful than an angels as it lowered
over you watching every Opportu-
nifty to minister to your comfort,
and every one of those wrinkles
would seem to be bright wavelets
of sunshine chasing each other over
the dear face. She will leave you
one of these days. These burdens,
if not lifted from her shoulders, will
break her down. These rough
hard hands, that have done so many
necessary things for you, will be
crossed upon her hfeless breast.
Those neglected lips, that gave you
your first baby kiss, will be forever
closed, and those sad tired eyes will
have opened in eternity, and then
you will appreciate your mother;
but it will be too late.

Painters Career.

Stirnbrand, the veteran German
painter, whose death at the age OF
81 was recently announced at Stuff
CART, had a remarkable career.
When three years old he was res
cued from the waters o; the Danube,
into which his mother, u Croatian
soldiers wife, had, thrown him by
an Austrian officer, who brought
him up with his own children. He
was named Stirnbrand on account
of the scar of a burn on his fore
head. He began his artistic career
as a house painter, and then as q
painter of tea boards and other
facqured wares, which he decorated
with portraits of prominent persons
of the day. These portraits were
so good that they brought him in-
to public notice, and commissions
from princes and kings began to
come in. His house soon became a
artistic literary center He
never made fortune by his brush,
however, nor attempted anything
beside portrait painting, with the
exception OF a few altar peices and
genre pictures, .. .....-.

Not Sincere.

DIR Chalmers, in one of his dis
courses, says: "There is a set of peo-
pie whom L cannot bear-the pinks
of fashionable propriety-w whose
every word is precise, and whose
every movement is unexceptiona-
able, but who, though versed in all
the categories OF polite behavior,
have not particle of soul or Of
cordially about them. We allow
that their manners may be abund-
antly correct. There may be ele-
gance in every gesture and grace
fulness in every posture, not a
smile out of place, and not step
that would not bear the measure
ment of the severest scrutiny.
This is all very fine; but what /
want is the heart and gayety of
social intercourse, and frankness
that spreads ease and animation
around it, the eye that speaks affa-
bility to all, that chaseS tinidity
from every bosom, and tells every
man in the company to be confident
and happy"

A WILD MAN IN IDAHO.
How Two Cowboys Chased the Solitary
Savage of Snake River.
HALEY Times

----~-"
Two cowboys who just came in
from Camas Prairie relate an expe-
rience which will probably go
great way toward re-establishing
the popular faith i'm the wild mans
tradition. On the first day of this
month. two cowboys, searching for
cattle lost in a storm, passed over
some lava crags and were startled
by suddenly seeing before them the
form so often described to them.
They were so terrified that they sat
upon their horses looking at it in
dread, Mastering courage and
drawing their revolvers, they dis
mounted and gave chase, but the
strange being skipped from crag to
crag as nimbIy as mountain goat.
After an hours pursuit both young
men were so completely worn out
that they laid down, seeing which
the wild man gradually approached
them and stopped on the opposite
side of a gorge in the lava, from
which point he regarded them in
tently. #eF
The wild man was considerably
aver six feet in height. with great
muscular arms which reached to his
knees. The muscles stood out in
great knots, and his chest was as
broad as that of a bear. Skins were
twisted about his feet and ankles,
and wolf skin about his waist.
All parts of his body to be seen
were covered by long black hair,
while from his head the hair flowed
over his shoulders in coarse, tam
gled rolls, and mixed with a heavy
beard, His face was dark and |
swarthy, and his eyes shOne bright
~, while two tusks prOtruded from |
his mouth. His fingers were the |
shape of claws, with long, sharp |
nails. and he acted very much as u
wild animal unaccustomed to see
ing man. The boys made all
kinds of noises, at the sound of
which he twisted his head from
side to side and mOaned-apparent-
~ he could not give them any
back talk $50, wearytng of eye
ing him, the two boys fired their
revolvers, whereupon the wild man
turned double somersault, and
Jumped fifteen feet to a low bench
and disappeared, growing terribly
Is he went. Ks
1t is supposed that this is the
'ame apparition that has so often
been seen before. The man no
ioubt does as the Indians did for
and lives on camas
'oots, which grow wild by acres,
md he no doubt kills young stock, /
Is many yearlings and calves disap-
bear mysteriously, and nothing
)ut the skeletons of them are ever

for Suffering WOm-
AMI Something new Under
the Snml

By reason OF her peculiar relations,
and her peculiar ailments, woman has
been compelled to suffer, not only her
own ills, but those arising from the
want of knowledge, or of consideration
on the part OF those with whom she
stands connected in the social organi-
zatiOn. The frequent and distressing
irregularities peculiar to her sex have
thus been aggravated to a degree
which no language can express. In
the mansions O the rich and the hoYel
of the poor alike, women has been the
patient victim of ills unknown to man,
and which none but she could endure
and without a remedy. But now
the hour of her redemption has come.
