Sad story.

Baltimore, 81 A CHASTITY discovery
was made here 10 house on West Pratt
street. Isidor Ferdinand Flatau and his
wife, an aged couple, we're found dead,
and bottle labelled prussia acid, which
lay between them, told the sad story.
One month sgo they rented rooms in the
house of George Gollingherst, and the
latter describes the Old man as q peculiar
person. He did not pay his rent
promptly. and last Saturday Golling-
herst told him he must either pay up or
move. he heard nothing more from
either of them until this morning, when
becoming alarmed at their long silence,
and hearing dog barking furiously IN
their apartments Gollingherst sum-
moned the police. The door was broken
down, and the dead bodies were discov-
cred in state of decomposition. They
had been dead about two days. The
following letter addressed to the coroner
of the city OF Baltimore was found in the
death grasp of the old mans hand;
Dear Sir:

that l and my wife were compelled to
commit suicide by taking laudanum.

very lowest class Of Dutchmen TO whom
they belong, who has been shipped as
paupers to this country, / begged both to

most earnest requests. I hope the few
effects left will pay for our funeral ex-

leave watch, four pawn broker tickets.

in the rooms, excepting some old mohog-

GOing Into Winter Quarter.

''The marmot passes into a sound
winter sleep, though they are liable to
awaken, and in view of this a large
storehouse, six or eight feet in diameter,
is erected or cxcaVated and slowed with
provisions. They enter it generally. in
September and remain until the ensuing
April-eight months. During this time
the young are born. The bears have a
similar habit. If you have been in the
mountains late in the season you will
notice that the common black bear is
always extremely fat late in the autumn;
in fact, they are gorging themselves for
a special purpose, storing up fat upon
which to live during the winter You
see, they live upon berries and are too
clumsy to catch live game if they wished;
and as they can't go South it's a case of
root hog or die, and they do literally
root. Early in winter a spot is selected,
under some root or rock, and provided
with grass and leaves. Here the bear
places herself and is soon showed in;
her breath meltS out the snow immedi-
ately around her and often chimney is
formed by the same means. The stom-
ach is empty and soon the intestines be-
come clogged by what the Indians called
tappen, a substance formed of some
vegetable matter the animal eats i'm
mediately previous to entering her
house. They seem to live upon their fat,
the tappen being a sort of safety valve
preventing its too rapid consump-
ton. However, it lasts them about

are born towards spring. The brown
and polar bears have the same habit,
| the latter forming a nest in the snow,
their breath following it out. During
their sleep the blood is reduced to the
same temperature as the surrounding
air. Their will power over the muscles
seems to be lost and all their vital
| functions are apparently at a standsti1l.
''The grizzly does not hibernate. The
male roves about the year round, while
the female and young build sort of a
nest some of which are ten feet high
and seven feet long.
Information is very universal among
reptiles, - continued the naturalist, land
in the South they enter upon what is
called a summer sleep to avoid the dry
weather, that is just as fatal to them as
the cold is to their Northern cousins.
At the approach of winter all the mud
turtles that we see take to the mud and
penetrate it as deeply as possible. The
same is true of the frogs. The latter,
like the bats, seem to like company even
when asleep, and burrow in groups OF
companies, great balls of them having
been dug up, composed of over hun
dred frogs, all wound in and out in a
compact mass, often partly frozen. The
same is true of snakes, also, the water
snake taking to the mud, while the land
varieties burrow and wind themselves
up in balls for mutual protection, and
sleep right through the cold season

the little-used door Of the back room,
chased him, with many expressions Of
animosity, down the softly carpeted
staircase, and with cry Of s.Shoo cati''
finally let him out of the front door.
When she returned to the drawing
room, General Lirripip gave vent to
some angry expressions of hostility
toward the entire feline tribe, and when
he had thus delivered himself, went of
to bed.
How the story ended may easily be
guessed. When Lydia's father was in
a cooler mood Horace found no diff
cultyi in obtaining his consent to the mar
riage, which took place three months
afterward; and to the end of their days,
neither Sir Pertinax Popinjay nor Mr.
Merton Murley had any idea that a third
person was present, when they pro-
posed to Miss Lirripip in Bruton street,

The Legend of Browns Ledge.

Some eighteen years ago, just after
the close of the rebellion, a negro hunter
known as ''Nigger Brown" brought
three or four pounds of very rich ore to
the drug store of Judge G. H. Meyer,
in this city. Mr.. Ehrenberg, who was
then in Tucson, assayed it and found it
went twelve dollars to the pound. The
ore was soft and black, and cut like
plumbago. Brown explained that he
found the ledge sticking above the
ground on the hillside of canyon, in
the Milestone Mountains. 1t was at
time when Indians were extremely bad,
and prospectOrs were not over venture
some There was q soldiers relay sta
ton in the Milestone Mountains 1t
consisted of a stone house and corral
near some springs. The house yet
stands. The water made it an impor-
tant watering-place for the soldiers on
the trail from Fort Buchanan, where
Crittenden now is, to New Mexico.
Brown supplied the soldiers at the
Milestone station with game. One day
while up a canyon that trended south
easterly from the station, he found the
ledge, and knocked off a few pounds of
the ore. He marked the spot by cut
ting down a mesquite tree about SIX
inches in diameter, and leaving the
stump. The news of Browns find made an
intense excitement, spark of which yet
fingers in the imagination of some who
would like to rediscover the lost ledge.
Brown was known as a man of the
strictest integrity and uprightness, and
no one ever knew any reason to doubt
his word. Afterward Judge Meyer, ac-
eompanied by friend. with Brown for
a guide. started to explore the canyon.
Shortly after leaving the Milestone sta
ton they saw fresh Indian tracks, and
the $4,000 ledge lost all charms.
Brown died soon afterward of small
pox, and with him died the secret of the
/ location OF that mesquite stump and the
rich ore ledge. Prospectors have
searched in vain. Numerous locations
have been made, and in some instances
mines have been well developed in this
canyon, but Browns ledge refused to
disclose its whereabouts. Judge Meyer

DENVER. COL, No

DENVER, COL, Nov. 8.
Ex-senator Chaffee won a notable triumph
over his rival Senator Hill, to-day. The en-
tire Republican ticket in this county is elected
by majorities ranging from 200 to 1000 The
fight centered on Sheriff. Graham, the success
full candidate was selected to make the race
by Mr.. Chaffee, who backed him with great
ability and plenty of money. Senator Hills
organ. the Denver Republican, openly bolted
the nomination of Graham and did everything
in its power to defeat him 1t is
reported, and generally believed, that
Senator Hill spent several thousand dollars
to compass Graham'S defeat, for
the sake of downing Chaffee. Hills friends
bet $4,000 on Monday night that ShackelfOrd,
the Democratic nominee, would be elected.
Chaffee took all their bets and offered to take
$685. 600 more the same way. He used the.
money he bet to buy Democratic votes, and he
succeeded so well that the heaviest majOrities
cast for Graham were in strongly Democratic
wards. 1t is generally understood here to-
night that this victory makes Chaffee again
what he was for so many years, the leader of
the Republican party in Colorado and the
next United States Senator from this State.

BIZ THE WASHES.

We stood for a little together, :.
The water kissing our feet;
Around us glowed glad bright weather;
The morning and you were sweet.
I thought, as you stood there dreaming,
Twas you that lighted the day;
And the water, glancing and cleaning
And hurry1ng ever away,
Vocal with brief light laughter,
AS past you it fed to the sea,
Seemed to linger little, and after
think 1t agreed with me.
Flushed with the wind and glowing,
Silent you stood awhile,
Hair in the sunlight blowing
Smiling dreamy smile.
The water sang: "'Love is a treasure"
"a treasure" my soul feplied;
And the pain of it and the pleasure.
SWeeter than all beside"
And saw the wavelets glitter,
Glad but to kiss your feet;
And the wind sang: Life may be bitter,
But loving can make it sweet"
And she laughed and loitered around you.
Surely finding you fair;
And the merry sun kissed and crowned you
Queen of the morning there.
Everything fair seemed to love you,
Seemed proud at your feet to fall;
And the lark, singing high above you,
Sang you were the fairest of all.
And scarcely a word was spoken,
But our souls to each other spoke,
Till the dreamy spell was broken,
And we started and smiled and woke.
And so in the glorious weather,
In the morning blithe and gay,
Happy in being together,
Happily wandered away.

The ''B'hOy'' Forty Years Ago.

The ''b'hoy'' of New York was fea-
tUre forty years ago. His hair was
closely cropped behind, but allowed to
grow long in front. To these front ends
perfumed BEARS grease was applied in
generous quantities. They were care
fully and laboriously brushed and the
ends tucked under.
His face was closely shaver and he
wore black plug hat, pitched promi-
nently forward over his brow and also
inclined slightly to one side.
A large shirt-collar was turned loosely
down and so fastened as to expose a
bull-like neck. The skirts of his black
frock coat extended below the knee.
His vest was of highly colored or figured
satin or velvet, and so cut as to expose
his entire shirt bosom. Pantaloons
sailor fashion-tight to the knee, and
from thence to the ankle growing larger
as does a blunderbus from chamber to
muZzle.
His jewelrY was often varied, profuse
and snowy. He walked with a roll and
a swagger. In the street he preferred
to lean against lamp-post.
In his mouth his cigar was cooked up
at about the same angle the brim of his
hat was cooked down.
In voice his information wavered be-
tween falsetto and growl. He was
in his element at fires and balls. He
fought at both. He belonged or ''run
with some volunteer fire company, the
number of which was embroidered on his
red flannel shirt. He always wore red,
for it was the color of blood and in
blood he delighted.
His browning ambition was to get the
first water from his ''masheen" on the
fire He fought with his fists, but was
not averse in emergencies to the use of
''spanner'' or fire trumpet.
Unlike the ruffians of to-day, he
scorned the use of knife and pistol. He
was rough, but also had good deal of
rough chivalry in his composition. His
generic name was 'tMose." That of his
girl was 'Lize."
In early life the b'hoy was generally
apprenticed to some boss butcher. In
| the labor peculiar to his calling he spent
his DAYS. To run to fires at night was
his recreation. To become a ''boss
butcher was the summit of his ambi-
ton.
He worked, and worked hard, for a
living. Chanfrau made a great hit
when he put him on the stage in COM
pany with '.Lize."
LIA0 0GsAS was an oSSIesrS OOe-
and exaggerated copy of that of the
Broadway belle of the period. The skirt
was shorter and fuller, the handkerchief
larger and more ostentatiously carried,
the corkscrew curls longer, Simmer
and sitter; but her gait resembled as
nearly as possible that of the man who
ruled her affections and everything else.
The BOwery ssb'hoy" is now extinct.
The war extinguished him.-Pre7stice
