The other day, at the Las Vegas
depot, l noticed tall EnglIshman,
with long, hooded ulster, tall stiff
hat, and goggles, walking up and
down the platform, taking in the
town. Right behind him for some
distance walked little Pueblo In
dian with his long, straight, black
hair hanging down the side of his
face and caught up at the back of
the neck in knot. He wore girt
about him and flung over one
shoulder striped blanket of vari-
GUS colors, looking much like
fancy piece of rag carpet, and over
the other shoulder was flung fold
cd black blanket with q broad red
border He held in his hand
piece of black topaz, which he was
trying to sell to every "tenderfoot"
who would notice him. Near by
stood grorp of Germans, and, not

William Leyerich, the driver Of
Thirty geight's engine, made the
most singular discovery that he had
been living in the same town with
his sister for three years, but all the
time unknown to him, and the ac-
cidental occurrence of his name in
a newspaper was the means of his
making the discovery. Leverich
left home about thirteen years ago,
and like 20 many other young men
in obeying Horace Greeley's precept
70 go West, he drifted West and e.
nally to California. He became
careless in his correspondence, and
for several years his folks did not
know where he was During this
time his sister married a gentleman
named ]. S. Hunt, and three years
ago they came to Los Angeles. As
Mrs. Hunt did not know of her
brothers whereabouts, and he did
not know she was married or i'm

THE WIFE OF A WEALTHY OHIO MER-
CHANT DIES IN A CELLAR,


DAYTON, April 23.-Last Tuesday
the body of a middle-aged woman
was found in dark, damp cellar on
Ludlow street, where she had evil
IDENTIFY laid for over q month. The
affair was shrouded in mystery un-
til last evening, when the remains
were identified as those of Mrs. Holl-
man, wife of the wealthy boot and
shoe merchant at Wilmington, this
State. She was of a wealthy, re-
spected family, and moved in the
best society until a few years ago,
when she manifested an uncontroll-
ed desire for cognac and laudanum.
She grew worse and worse, and was
often seen on the streets in an intox-
icated condition. She felt the deg
radiation keenly and often express
ed wish to die. Last February
she disappeared from home and no
trace was found of her until now.
She came directly to this city and
took up her abode in cellar where
her body was found, living on
whisky. The neighbors often heard
her moaning during the night as il
in pain, but no one ever ascertained
the cause

REC0NOHED.
A HUSBAND AND WIFE DECIDE To
SEPARATE BUT CHANGE THEIR

MINDS.
"Is married woman who separ-
ates from her husband entitled to
the household furniture?'' was the
question that started young law
yer, who acts as 'squire's clerk, out
of reverie yesterday afternoon.
The querist was young and quite
intelligent appearing man. He was
accompanied by a comely young
woman who seemed equally interest
ed in the expected answer.
An inquiry by the clerk as to the
status of affairs developed the fact
that the couple before him were
man and wife. They had been mar
ried several years, but had at last
concluded that 1t would be better to
separate. The trouble was an un-
fortunate habit of drinking which
the wife had contracted. The hus-
band said that he worked steadily,
and in the three years oftheir mar
ried life had carried home most of
his wages to his wife. Since she
began drinking most of the money
had gone for liquor, and she had
even run him into debt. She would
go upon continual spress, and not
only spend his money, but digrace
herself and him in the eyes of the
neighbors.
In answer to the mans first ques-
ton the young lawyer had said that
the husband was legally entitled to
the goods, but advised him to give
them to his wife. He was strong
and able to earn his own living,
while she was not When the real
cause of the intended separation
was learned the couple were advised
to compromise their differences and
endeavor to live happily together.
The man said he was only too will
ing TO do 80. He still loved his wife
dearly, and did net want to leave
her. If she would only stop drink
ing the past would all be forgiven.
The young wife was much affect
ed at this, and, with tears glistening
in her eyes, declared she would
never touch another drop. The
husband made the same promise,
and then, acting on the advice of
the clerk, each Of them signed and
swore to pledge of total abstinence.
The couple then left, apparently
very happy over their reconciliation,
after thanking their adyiser most
heartily. This was the only remun-
GRAFTON he would receive. The
names are withheld, in hope that
the troubles of the past may not be
repeated, and that the pair may
continue happy and contented.

WHERE WAS CARLYLE HARRIEDs

The Scottish ChristidR Leader
corrects an inaccurate statement
with respect to Carlyle's marriage
made in Mr.. Froude's "Life of
Thomas Carlyle" 1t is there as
serted that the ceremony took place
Gin the parish church of Templand." I"
There is . threefold reason why
this cannot be accepted. In the
first place, Carlyle and his wife
wished to be married as quickly and
unostentatiously as possible, but at
the date of his marriage nothing
could have been more ostentatious
or unheard- -of in Scotland than to
be married in a church, it being the
invariable practice to perform the
ceremony In the house of the brides
parents. Secondly, it seems utterly
diseordant with the avowed anec-
clesiasticai tendencies alike of Car
lyle and his wife for them, of all
people, to introduce aad innovation
in such matter. Thirdly, there is
no such parish as Templand. The
facts are that Templand. was the
name of . house, about one mile
from Thernhill, in the parish Of
Closeburn, Dumfriesshire, where
Mrs. Carlyle's mother resided; and
it was in this house that the marri-
age took place. Mr.. Froude seems
to haye fallen into q second mistake
when he says that after the marri-
age breakfast the young couple
"drove off, not in the coach but in
post-chaise," and that mo delays
or difficulties befell them on the
road" A correspondent of the
Christian Leader states that the
morning was very stormy, and that
"the young folks had to take shell
ter in cottage en- the Dumfl-ies
and Glasgow road, where they
! awaited the arrival of the coach"

Daring Escape.

A wonderfully daring escape was
made last week by a prisoner from
Millbank Prison. Theconvict, Low
EFT by name, contrived TO make a
hole through his cell by picking
away the mortar. This must have
been the work of several weeks, if
not months, andto conceal the signs
of his work chewed bread vas used
TO replace the mortar until he was
ready to make the attempt at escape.
While at work in the yard upon one
occasion he picked up and secreted
a piece of thick old rope, and this
he remade and heightened, adding
TO it strips torn from his clothes.
All being ready for the attempt, he
blackened his face with SCOT he had
procured from the workshop Chin
ney, the idea being to make himself
a chimney sweep. The SCOT, mixed
with water, was also used to rub into
his prison garments, which being
plentifully besprinkled with broad
arrows, would otherwise have looked
too conspicuous. In lowering him
self to the ground the convict fell a
distance of thirty feet, through his
rope breaking, and cnt his hand Sc
verely; but this circumstance mate
rally assisted his escape, as he re-
tanned part of the rope in his pos
session and finding in the yard two
pieces of plank, dashed them togeth-
er, placed them against the wall and
climbed up, then drawing his plank
after him he laid them on the other
side and slid down. So etfectual
was his disguise that he actually
passed a number of police without
exciting any remark. He was at
liberty a week, and but for the eff
forts of his friends in passing
around the hat" to raise a subscrip-
ton TO enable him to leave the coun-
try, he might still have been at large.

What Wild Beasts Cost.


The most expensive animal in New
York imported of wild beast deals
in is the hippopotamus. A good
hippopOtamus is worth Ito a man
who wants him. from $4,000 to
$4,000. They must be captured
when they are young and raised on
goats milk. A caravan of hunters
returning across the desert with
captured animals is a strange sight.
About 1000 goats are brought with
the caravan to furnish milk for the
antelopes, hippopotami aud other
milk-drinkers. AS the goats cease
giving milk they are killed and fed
to the hesh-eaters. The animals are
carried in bamboo cages, rugged with
ropes and slung across the backs of
the camels. From the coast they
are shipped to Hamburg, where they
are received by a member of the firm
and thence distributed according to
demand. Elephants are captured
when young, and usually by driving
them into immense traps that con-
verge rapidly until the beasts are
cribbed into reach of the ropes. A
fine elephant will bring from $1,000
to 5000. OF course, the prices of
animals vary with the demand.
You must get a man that wants a
beast before you can get any price
for him-then the price depends on
how much he wants him. You
see," said the man of beasts to a re-
porter, you wouldn't give SO for
that lion there for your own use, and
yet he is worth $500" A good
companionable tiger can be bought
for $1,000, and a nice leopard is
worth about $500. Monkeys sell in
punches by the dozen for about $50
each, and u rhinoceros brings about
$1,000. A giraffe is very expensive
and very delicate, and a zebra strip
ed up to the mark of ninety-nine and
one is worth about $1,000. Giraffes

quent victim to consumption, and
tie monkey dies of emotional lang
uor. The depot for sea lions is San
Francisco. They are taken to the
South California cost and bring about
s40O each. Polar bears come from
the Arctics, and are worth about
$1,000. They are kept in deep caves
that are damp and sunless or in dens
set in ice and with huge blocks
of ice dripping from the top. The
point at which they are bought is
HsmbpTg, very few being taken in
our Arctic regions. The ostrich has
less sense than any land animal, and
yet is worth $1,000. Their are caught
when young. Birds come from all
quarters. The most expensive is
the bird of paradise. which sells at
from $500 to $500, according to plu-
mage. Parrots, paroquets and mon
keys are brought in great numbers
by sailors who come in on foreign
ships.

The Chronic Caller.

The impotence of the young lady
over the long and fruitless visits OF
the chronic caller was pictured in
comic colors some years ago by "A
funny writer. II seems that it was
midnight. The young nan had
fareweiled himself out and Emeline
had locked the door and was UNITY
ing her shoes when her mother came
down stairs with a bed quilt around
her and said:
Wanted TO creep up stairs with
out my hearing you, Ell? Didn't
think il was an hour after midnigh
did vou?"
The girl made no reply, and the
mother continued:
did he propose this timer"
why, mother" exclaimed the
daughter.
"Iou can why mother all you
want to, but don't | know that he
has been coming here for the last
wear? Don't | know that you've
burned up at least four tons of coal
counting around here?"
The girl got her shoes off, and the
mother stood at the stair door and
asked:
"Emeline, have you gotany grit?"
81 guess So"
Il guess YOU haven't. j just wish
that fellow with false teeth and a
mole on his chin would come spark-
ing me. Do yeu know what would
happen, Emel;nes"
NO"
well, I'll tell you. He'd come
to time in sixty DAVIS or he'd get out
of this mansion like a goat jumping
for sunfiower Seeds
And Emel;ne went TO bed hug
ging this thought to her bosom.
Occasionally such visits become so
burdensome that the young lady
talks to the young man herself. At
least they had such ayoung girl out
in Colorado. She had been receiv-
ing the attentions of a young man
for about a year, but becoming i'm
patient at his failure to bring mat
tiers to q crisis, she resolved to ascer-
tain his intentions. When he next
called she took him gently by the
ear, led him to a seat, and said:
"Nobby, you've been foolin' round
this claim for mighty near a year,
an hev never yit shot off your mouth
on the marrying biz. I've cottoned
TO you on the square clear through,

Night shirts the Cause of
Among Men.

We cannot cure badness. as a bald
head is beyond help, but If those
who have hair and desire to retain
it will follow our advice they need
never show a clearing on the top OF
their heads. The cause OF badness
is the habit men have OF pulling
their shirts and night shirts oil over
their heads. There are some who
will laugh at this idea, but IL IS not
intended that they should. as this is
not a funny article. This is busl-
ness. The pulling of a shirt or night
shirt off over the head causes iric-
ton on the scalp, which in time
sears the roots of the hair and
leaves a barren plain, a Sahara, for
ever after. Suppose the night shirt
comes to a mans feet, there is from
five to six feet of tail to be drawn
over the tender hair, which, kept up
for a series of years, would wear out
any head of hair. Add to this the
friction from taking off the shirt,
and then the natural scrating of the
head for ideas, etc, and the hair has
no rest. and the wonder is that there
is a man left who has a spear of hair
in his head. Now the preventive is
for men to walk out of their night
shirts the front way. Women are
never bald, and some sneering men
account for the fact by claiming that
women do not have brains enough to
become bald. This is a campaign
lie. Women have more brain and a
better quality than any bald headed
man on earth. But they do not wear
their hair off by pulling their gar
ments over their head. They open
the storm door of their garments,
and walk out into the light OF day
and never disturb a hair. This we
state upon information and belief,
and if we are wrong We can easily
be corrected. 1t salleged that they
get out of their dry goods different
from men, and thereby make great
saving in hair. Taking all the facts
there is only one sensible way for
men who desire to retain their hair,
and that is to break off the destruc.
tive habit of pulling their garments
off over their heads. They may
have to he instructed in the best
manner of getting out of a night
shirt without using his head for a
pivot, but that can be arranged. Let
societies be formed, classes, if You
please. and secure a teacher to Illus
trate how to take off a night shirt
the front way. If our discovery is
acted upon, bald headed men will
be unknown in the next generation.
