On an Arizona STAGE Coach,

A six-horse Concord coach carried
US, not too speedily, over the twenty
five miles Of dusty road to Tombstone.
1t was called the "Grand Centre
after a prosperous mine. A rival line
was the "Sandy Bob," from its pro-
prietor, who preferred to be thus
known, instead of by conventional
family name, such as might be found
in directory. We should certainly
have taken the "Sandy Bob" for its
greater suggestiyeness, in the line Of
the Bret Harte romances, except that
it was just coming down when we
wanted to 60 up, and coming up when
we were going down. However, our
own proved to have good deal of
suggestiveness too. A guard got up
with Winchester rifle and posted
himself by the Wells-Fargo express
box. The driver began to relate rob-
Der stories. This stage had been
stopped and "gone through" twice
within the past SIX months. The ex-
perience was enlivened on one occa-
sion by runaway and turnover, and
on the other by the shooting and kill
ing of the driver. OF this last feature
his successor spoke with a disgust not
unnatural He would have the line
drawn at drivers. He respected
person who took the road and robbed
those who could afford it. At least he
considered it more honorable than bor-
rowing money Of friend which you
knew you could never repay, or gobbling
up the earnings Of the poor, received
on deposit, like certain large firm
lately suspended in Pima county. But
as to shooting a driver, even in mis-
take for somebody else, he had no
words to express hissense II the mean
ness of it.
He threw stones at his horses, as is
done in Mexico, that is, at the leaders,
which were beyond the reach of his
long lash. A single stone was madeto
s'carom,' such was his skill, and served
for both. Long teams of mules or of
Texas steers, sixteen to team, draw
ing ore wagons-three usually tackled
together-were strung interminably
along the road. The Mexican-looking
drivers trudged beside them in the
deep, yellow dust, cracking huge
"blacksnakes at the animals Mesquit
bushes and long grass dried to hay

rest was stony and bare. Hu,per's.

The Desert Lark.

An English traveller across the
upper Tigris was much interested in
the song of a bird seen only in the
deserts of Asia and Africa, and whose
voice seems in singular tune with the
solitude of nature and the atmosphere
of ancient ruins. When he heard for
the first time the sweet but sad whis-
tie Of the desert lark, bird with a
very curious song, he was surprised
that no fanciful traveller has ever
thought it worth while to romance
about it. 1t is little brown bird with
a speckled breast, that sits generally on
the top Of bush, and every now and
then makes a short flight, showing
some light feathers in its wings, and
then suddenly closes them and dives
down to its perch. While it does this
it sings a touching melody. The quail
ity of the tone is SO like the human
voice that he had some trouble in
tracing the song to its right owner

much when in Algeria, the Zouave re-
membered his infancy and how he had
played there for SO long between the
heat of the highway and the sparks of
the forge, brilliant amid the black coal
dust. A fit of tenderness took pos
session of him, great desire to obtain
his fathers pardon; but, on raising his
eyes, he encountered only an mex
orable look.
At last the blacksmith made up his
mind to speak.
"Son," said he, "you see the anvil.

full of sunlight and bees, surrounded,
as it were, by the smoky frame of the

you have sacrificed your honor for
these things, the least you can do is to

You owe five years to France; I shall

"Lory, Lory, where are you going"
cried his poor wife.

the blacksmith had already departed,
walking rapidly, without looking back.

The Gardeners Chronicle (London)
tells of the effects of the so-called
stinging tree. The sting Of a single
hair Of it On the hand Of a victim gave
rise to severe pain over the whole of
one side of the body, followed by
numbness and partial paralysis. A
sensation Of losing the senses or "be-
coming insane" was experienced, and
the severe symptoms lasted for two
hours. The punctured spot remained
painful for nearly month.
In one of the anti-vaccination tracts
written by H. D. Dudgeon, we read
that Jenner, the originator Of vaccin-
alton, praeticed the art upon his own
son, first with swine-pox when he was
a year and half old, and later with
other v.ruses. The son was always in
delicate health, had a defective under
standing and died when about twenty
one years old with pulmonary con-
sumption. It's also stated that King
George III. and the commons granted
Jenner 100000 after he had given
them the positive assurance that all

alton should be perfectly secure from
death by smallpox.-Dr. Foote's Health

80 WIND THAT BLOWS OUT OF
THE WEST"

o wind that blows out of the West,
Thou hast swept over mountain and sea
Dost thou bear on thy swift, glad wings
The breath of my love to me?
Hast thou kissed her warm, sweet lips?
Or tangled her soft, brown hair?
Or fiuttered the fragrant heart
Of the rose she loves to wear.
o sun that goes down in the West,
Hast thou seen my love to-day,
As she sits in her beautiful prime
Under skies so far away3
Hast thou gilded path for her feet,
Or deepened the glow on her cheeks,
Or bent from the skies to hear
The low, sweet words she speaks?
Ostars that are bright in the West
When the hush of the night is deep,
Do ye see my love as she lies
Like chaste, white flower asleep?
Does she smile as she walks with me
In the light of happy dream,
While the night winds rustic the leaves,
And the light waves ripple and CLEAN?
o birds that fly out of the West,
Do ye bring me message from her,
As sweet as your love-notes are,
When the warm spring breezes stir?
Did she whispera word of me
As your tremulous wings swept by,
Or utter my name, mayhap,
In single passionate cry.
Ovoices out of the West,
Ye are silent every one,
And never an answer comes
From wind, or stars, or sunl
And the blithe birds come af1ade
Through the boundless Raf Iose>Pace'
AS reckless of human prayers
As if earth were desert placel

The London LaHc5t says it is not much
use asserting that assemblies of sane
persons ought not to become victims
of panic, but, in truth, unless the ner-
vous system OF man could be recon-
structed on a principle which would
necessarily deprive it of some Of its
most excellent qualities. it is impossi-
bic that there will not always be a
tendency to impart and receive this i'm
preston, which so powerfully affects
the mind and body that Judgment is
for the time suspended, and the limbs
either refuse to act or act impulsively
OF under the control Of the emotional
part Of the being. Discipline is the
only remedy for a tendency To panic.
What is needed to cure the tendency
to panies in assemblies is the disci-
plina Of crowds.

with her cubs and attack the dog.
With a fierce cry, however, and fol
lowed by her cubs, she fastened on
after Jacobs. Owing to the steepness
Of the ridge, the Indian did not feel
that he could safely engage in hand
to-hand fight with the bear there, so he
concluded, if she pressed him, to drop
to the bottom Of the ledge, where, if
the bear leaped after him, he would be
on good footing, and could bring to his
service tactics that had never yet
failed to give him the victory in fights
of similar kind. The bear FOLLOWED
him closely, and as he turned near the
edge of the ledge to let himself down
and drop, his right foot caught in
under root, and the next instant he
was hanging head downward over the
rocks. The bear leaped to the ground
below, and before the Indian could
draw himself upward or release his
foot he saw with dismay that the She
bear had been joined by a huge mate,
evidently the bear Jacobs had set hi
watch for. The position Of the huntez
apparently nonplussed the bears
for a moment, for they both stood mo-
tionless looking up at him. Then sud-
denly they both started toward him.
As his head hung within easy reach of
them, the Indian saw at once that it
would be torn off in short meter un-
less he could disengage himself. By a
great effort he drew himself upward
by pressing his hands against the face
of the rocks, when suddenly the root
broke and he fell headlong into the
snow beneath. His unexpected ap-
pearance at their feet seemed to startle
the bears, and they both retreated sew
eral steps. AT that moment, also, the
two cubs appeared at the top of the
ledge, with Jacobs dogs fighting
them. Their cries were too much for
their mother to withstand, and she hur-
ried away to join and protect them.
BY this time the male had recovered
himself, and made a savage rush for
Jacobs. The Indian had also now re-
covered his equanimity, and stood with
his long hunting-knife drawn, waiting
the attack of Bruin. The bear grasped
Jacobs with a paw on each shoulder,
but the next second the knife was
buried to the hilt in the brute's heart,
and he fell in the snow and died. The
bears clutch on Jacobs shoulders,
however, was deep and severe, for the
Indian carries the scars to this day.
The strain on his leg and ankle, as he
hung over the ledge, he had not noticed
until after the excitement Of the fight
was over Then he found that he was
unable to walk. The she-bear had de-
feated the dog, and sought safety for
herself and cubs in fight. The Indian
remained two days in the dead bears
cave, subsisting on its carcass. Then
he was able to get about. After re
covering his gun he started in pursuit
of the she-bear and her cubs, and two
days afterward had all their skins.
