HUNTING WITH BAKING row
DER.
Sacramento Reconciliation.

A few days since couple of Uni
versity chaps came up from the Bay
on visit to Sacramento frieras.
Hearing that there was good duck
shooting at a lake short distance
from the city, they borrowed a couple
of muzzle-losding shotguus and be-
gan making preparations for a grand
hunt yesterday. Monday evening
they took account of stock, and
found they had everything complete
to their outfit except powder. They
stopped at store on 10th street, and
asked for a can of the best powder
10 the chop. The merchant took a
can from large pyramid stacked in
the window, and said it was a new
brand that gave universal satisfaction.
He would like to have them try it,
and if it was not as represented to
bring it back and their money would
be refunded. The next evening, just
at dusk, two very tired looking chaps
sauntered into the store, guns on
their shoulders and detected and
woe begone. expression on their elon-
gated faces. One of them stepped
up to the proprietor, and depoSiting
the can very heavily upon the couu
ter, said: "See here, boss, your
powder amt worth d. We
used up three boxes Of caps and did
not succeed in dischargiDg the guns
a single time" The proprietor han
ded over the silver dollar, set the can
of baking powder back on bis shelf,
remarkiDg, why did you not say
you were going hunting Then we
would have given yon an entirely
different article"

TWO BROTHERS FIGHT A DUEL.


Two brothers, sons of q prominent
Russian family, were students at the
best college in st Petersburg, and
on graduation became officers in the
same crack regiment. The young
men differed greatly in their mode of
life from their comrades, and only
seldom joined in the customary rev.
elries of the jeuuesse doree. Three
years after leaving the regiment the
elder brother married young and
beautiful girl of excellent family.
Gradually, however, the newly
wooded pair became estrauged in
affection, so much 80 that after three
years of married life they occupied
separate rooms. Ia the meantime
the younger brother fell in love
with bis sister 10 law. At first, the
young wife surrounded by a host of
admirers, was not aware of the pas
sion she had kindled in her brother
in>law's heart, but soon she, in turn,
experienced toward her adorer
love so passionate that she was una
BILE to struggle against it. The
young husbands jealousy was rights
fully aroused Terrible scenes en-
sued, followed by mutual recrimina
ton, a challenge, and finally a duel
between the brothers. The elder
the outraged husband-wss wound
ed in the side; the younger, who
had wronged his brother, remained
untouched by the latter's bullet
The last act of this life's drama, be-
gun so tragicslly, was that of a farce
After the duel, the wounded man
was brought into the city and then
taken abroad, where the combined
care of wife and brother snatched
him from the jaws of death. Dat of
gratitude for this be allowed his
wife to secure divorce from him,
taking all the blame on his shout

ried her lover = London Echo.

EXPLAINED AT LAST.

The strange noises of late at Bald
Mountain, North Carolina, are thus
explained by the Knoxville Tribune ::
Convicts in excavating a tunnel
in the Weststone Mountains, on the
Ducktown braaoh of the Western
North Carolina railroad, twenty two
miles wsst of Webster, broke through
a shell rock and found themselves in
an immepse cavern. 1t is asserted
that tho cave has the beauty of the
famous Luray caverns, with much
greater size. Not g great distance
from the cave is Bald Mountain,
from whence strange noises and rum
blings proceed at times, whose origin
has been so much discussed. The
causes Of these noises is simply the
falling of enormous masses OF llme>
stone rock from the roof of the nigh
ty cavern. We hope this settles the
question and that we'll never hear
the Bald Mountain volcano mentioned
again. The newly discovered cave
is about forty miles from Knoxville
and only a few miles from the line
of the proposed Rabun Gap railroad.

HOW TO BE a GENTLEMAN.

You see | AN a gentleman = said
will Thompson. 1 will not take an
insult
And the little fellow strutted up
and down with rage. He had been
throwing stones at Peter Jones, aud
thought his anger proved him to be
a gentleman.
IF you want to be gentleman, |
should think you would be gentle
boy first said his teacher. Gen
tlemeD do not throw stones at their
neighbors. Peter Jones did not
throw stones at you, and | think be
ia much more likely to prove gen.
tleman.
But he has got patches on his
knees, said Will.
Bad pantaIoons do not keep boy
from being a gentleman; but bad
temper does. Now, William, if you
want to be a gentleman, you must
first be gentle boy
A little further on the teacher met
Peter Jones.
well, Peter, what is the matter
between you and Will this morning 2
be asked.
! was throwing ball at one of
the boys in play, sir, and | missed
him and bit Will Thompson's dog
Then, when he threw stones at
you, why did you not throw back =
Because, sir, mother says to be a
gentleman must be gentle boy
aud thought it best to keep out OF
his way until he cooled off little.'-

DON'T SCoLD.

Avoid the scolding tone. A tired
mother may find it hard to do this;
but it is she who will get most good
by observing this rule, The tone of
scolding wears upon the throat, just
where a woman who is not over
strong is apt to feel the ache of ex-
treme fatigue. The children, too
who are great imitators, will be sure
to catch the scolding tone, and will
talk to their dolls, to one another
by and by, to their own children,
very much as their mothers are
talking to them. By all means
avoid this bad tone all you who
govern others.

WAITING TWENTY YEARS.

A romantic episode 10 the lives q
two lovers 10 now exciting grea
interest at Coslton, Penn. William
Craig, young farmer, and Mary
Barker, the eighteen year old dsugh
ter of William Barker, also a farm
or, were to have been married on
Christmas day, 1868. On the even
ing of the 9TH of December, in the
above named year, there was a So
cial party at Farmer Bsrker's house
and among the guests was a young
man from the village of Coalton Miss
Barker danced with him twice 10
succession, and young Craig reprov-
ed her for such marked attention to
another, told her that he did not
wish her to dance again with the
young man in question. This arous
ed the spirit of the young lady, and
she replied that she would dance
with him or any one else she chose
and as many times as she liked.
Craig then informed her that she
might do so, but that she wouldn't
see him again for twenty years TO
this she tauntiogly replied that she
couldn't stay away from her twenty
hours if he tried ever so hard."-
Craig went home, aud the next day
he was missing. He lived with his
parents. who we're unable to tind
any trace of him Miss Barker VOW
ed she never would go into or re-
ceive company again until be re.
turned. As years passed by and no
traces of the missing son were re-
ceived, his parents came to look up.
on him as dead. Miss Barker, how
ever, had singular faith that be
would come back some day. She
kept her vow as to living q secluded
life, aud few people ever saw her
after the night abe had qusrreled
with her lover.
Last Friday evening a stranger
knocked at the door OF old Mr. Bar
ker's house aud asked to see Miss
Barker. He was large, foe look
ing man about 40 years of age. He
wae admitted, ADD when Miss Barker
appeared he held out his hand and
said:
"Mary Barker, didn't | tell you
that you wouldn't see me again in
twenty years 7"
1t was William Craig. He had
returned to his parents home in the
afternoon. Both bis father and moth
err we're still living. The secret of
his arrival vas kept, and when he
appeared 10 so dramatic a manner
in the presence of his old sweet
heart she tainted in his arms.
Craig's story of the disappearance
aud long absence was that be had
gone straight to Philadelphia after
leaving home, and there enlisted IN
the army under an assumed name.
He served until the end of the war
and was mustered out at Philadel-
phia. He longed very much to re-
turn home but he permitted his de-
termin atien to remain away 20 years
to control him, and he went directly
to Nebraska. There he took up
tract of land and went to farming,
remaining there until the 20 years
were Up He resolved to time his
return and the meeting of his sweet~
heart, if she was still alive and un.
married, at as near the hour of his
leaving her as it was possible to do.
He came back with an ample for
tune, and found matters much as he
had left them. The wedding that
did not come off 20 years ago will be
celebrated at the approaching Christ
mas.
