How it Affected His Conscience.

A young man from the country, whose
ideas of milk had been perverted and
abused by contact with the COW in its
native haunts, recently engaged himsel,
with proprietor CT that animal engag:;
ed in supplying milk to customers in
San Francisco. The second day the
new hand resigned. He did not like
the business, SO he must go. AID inves-
tigation ended in showing that after
washing the cans the day before, the
water, as is usual, was left standing in
them. Instead of the cans which he
should have taken, he put these with
| their milky fluid into his wagon and
started on his route. On coming back
again, he learned his error. He resign
ed ut once rather than meet his custom
ers.
"Why, it was cheatin'," he said; "the
worst kind. I can go up to a cannon's
mouth and let 'em shoot me, but T never
want to set foot in them houses any
more where 1 carried round that water,
not if / know it."
His employer demonstrated. He had
no time to hire another mar, and ii
would greatly embarrass him to get one
in time. But the young man was in
flexible.
"No; I was brought up to be honest
and can't look EN- in the face again. ,
"Well, I'll tell you what I'll do" said
his employer, desperately. "I'll give
you a couple of dollars to go round
this once, and if you can't stand their
abuse you needn't try it again"
After much urging the young man
consented. He came back with q very
curious look Oh his honest face.
"Well," said his employer, "you came
out alive, after all, didn't you? Did you
have to stand very hard racket"
"No," said the boy; "they did not say
one word anywhere, except one old
woman, who told me she thought the
milk was improving; it was little bit
richer yesterday morning."
His employer was sad and silent, and
the young man is still in the business.

A TREMENDOUS UPHEAvAL.
Something Remarkable Happens to tn
Tennessee River, near Chattanooga.

Something Remarkable Happens to tn,
Tennessee River, near Chattanooga.
One of the strangest and most 1e.
markable incidents we have ever chron-
icled occurred near Chattanooga re-
Gently. Seven miles below the city the
river suddenly widens, forming circle,
and flows out into narrow stream, be-
tween high mountains. Mountains rise
on all sides of it, and the depth of the
stream in the eddy is known to be from
60 to rs feet, while the river at both
ends is not over 20 feet deep. 1t ap-
pears to be tremendous basin in the
mountains, twenty acres in area, and it's
surface conformation is such that the
water flows when it first enters in an
opposite direction from the current of
the main stream, finally encircles the
basin and flows in the regular current
down the center.
Monday afternoon, while man named
Lawson was near that point, he saw the
entire body of water in the basin up
lifted, as if by volcanic force, to a
height of six or eight feet, and, as soon
as it settled, the sediment that has acv
cumulated at the bottom arose to the
surface, as if thrown up by an explosion,
and was carried of. Lawson, when the
waters arose, became terrified and
screamed to Mr.. Baxter, who lived
near. The latter rushed to his door,
heard the roaring of the waters and saw
that they we're greatly disturbed and the
mass of vegetable matter floating off
Gentlemen of reliability also state that
they saw the debris and vegetation float
ing down the stream soon after the in
cident witnessed by Mr.. Lawson oc-
CURED. so there is scarcely question
of the truth of the phenomenon.
