A DEMOCRATIC Mark Tapley.

Dear, charming Pulitzer! Dear, cheeky
Joe! Submerged by the returning wave of
republicanism in New York state, lifted from
his feet, and thrown high up among the sea-
weed and shells that indicate the old high,
water mark, as soon as he can free his mouth
of the salt water forced into it he makes
the following cheerful remarks to the
drowned democratic rats around him:
Tho democratic party achieved de-
cisive and significant victory" Then he looks
out upon the flood and, shivering in the cold
and wet, he raises his voice and indulges in
German mysticism like this: % 1t was moro
rises higher than a mere victory of democrats
over republicans. 1t means 1884. 1t means
a change in Washington. 1t means that the
people are tired of the ruling party" Here
Joseph took n brief rest, and gazed mourn.
fully upon his defeated fellow-democrats as
if to see if one heart could be heard to beat in
response to his. Then he gently hummed tho
words:
"But the beating of me own heart
Was oil the sound heard"
Then he went on declaiming about the
imaginary victory of his party and what it
meant with as much vim and earnestness as
that with which Dick Swiveler and the mar
chioness eat imaginary viauds of from
imaginary plates. He mentioned casually
the triumph of the cause of self government
in the Empire State" as though that were
cause for democratic congratulation, and as
his drenched garments made him grow
colder and his teeth to chatter he discoursed
pleasantly of the great things which the
democracy would do with tho victory
which he was praying they had won.
Perhaps the most realistic paragraph of
this phantasy of our great journalistic
droll was that in which, with mock
seriousness, he declared that como marked
feature of the democratic victory in New
York is the evidence it affords of the total
failure of the republican attempt to hoodwink
the people on the tariff ISSUE" The republi-
can majority in New York on the head of
the ticket being from 5000 to 10000, and both
branches Of the legislature being republican,
tho cake must be awarded to Happy Joe, who
in all this sees cause for jubilation by the
greatest two cent democratic organ in the
world. We shall propose Joseph's name for
admission to our party.

A Bin, Grass Belle.

Our Kentucky belle is handsome and.
attircd in modest white gown, pre-
sents no mcrctricious attractions. She
is accompanied by companion, whom
she is heard to address by the title Of
mother and who is only slightly older
and slightly less attractive than herself,
but VINO is more conspicuous in the
general brilliant makeup of her face
and personal paraphcrnalia. She hands
her money 10 Il mohgrel type of masCu-
line nature, the olf,prlng of u combined
dude and jockey, VINO is soon in the
whirl!ng current of quartcr-Strctch and
drifting straight TO the pool section.
While he is taking stock for her in the
fast flyers Of the turf she has turred
her attention 10 another market, where
speculation is equally Intoxicating and
hazardous. she has allowed Il noted
beau to perceive her languishing dark
eyes resting intcrcStcdly upon him. Her
gaze has been purposely fastened upon
him, until he, by u well known physi-
cal and psychological law, turns rs
naturally toward her aS the Suntlower

repeat it until she is satisfied it is Of

glance toward him she ascends tier by
tier of the grand stand until she has
reached the topmost rail, over which
she leans. looking down on the great
dusty entrance park to the course. If
the gentleman does not follow immedi-
atcly there are evidences of impaticnce
in her frequent nervous backward
glances. He approaches her locality
and assuming similar attitude, is also
deeply interested in the arid, dusty
stretch beneath. Several covert and
ilccting looks are exchanged as he
draws nearer, and without alteration of
position they fall into conversation and
talk about the weather, the inadvisa-

How Towns arr Built up Among Moun-
tains Whor, no Roa1 May Come.

Any one who travels through the
countrywcs, of the RocSymorntains,w VIII
find cause for wonderat seeing, in places
most difficult off access, towns of sub
stantial buildings, OF winch the mrtcriai
could not have come from anywhere in
the nci4hborhood. And yet they may
be hundreds of miles from n railroad.
The whole Of that town has been car
ricd there, and most OF it on the backs
of horses and mules. In what are call
ed pack-trainS they have carried the
bricks that made the houses and all
that the houses contain over journeys
that may have taken weeks to make,
and through places whore the chances
were that, before The train got pas,
some OF the animals would 90 over u
precipice.
a regular freight train will sometimes
have iilty animals. generally all mules,
although horses are used. Mules are 10
be preferred, not because of greater
sureness of foot, but for the reason that
their backs are more level, so that they
are not liable to be chafed by their loads.
A mule can carry from 200 to 600
pounds, but those who bear the greater
weight are exceptional animals.
There are two styles of apparatus for
n mules back To which his burden is
fastened. One is called Il pack saddle,
and resembles very closely slwbuck,
or the contrivancc used on the backs OF
unbrokcn colts. The other is much
more often seen, and it is called by its
Spanish name, dpparCi0 This consists
of two great saddle-bags. each about
two feet wide and three feet long, stuff:
cd with hay until they become three or
four inches thick, and also with half Il
dozen willow rods running lcngthwiso
inside to make them keep tacir shape
and hold their load better.
These two bags are joined ut the top
by leather of their own width, so that
when flung across the back they hang
down the sides and reach the belly. Ii
the load consists of several small pack
ages. they are made up into two bundles
each one OF which is cure.y la,hcd so
that it will not come apart. Vuen Il
double rope. called the swing rOpc. is
thrown over the appareio, and the bum
dies are lifted up on the beasts back
and the ends of The rope joined over
them, SO that they hang suspended, one
counterbalancing the other. After these
have been shifted aud adjusted so that
the weight is rightly distributed. they
are ready to be fastened securely to the
apparejo; and TO do this rope is used
longer and heavier than the swing rope
called the lash rope.
When this is finally tied, it has the
appearance of 4 cats cradle. 1t seems
to have twice passed straight around
the animal and twice around him di-
agonally, that is in the direction from
the near shoulder to his off hip. and
from his near hip to his off shoulder. In
reality it has only gone once under his
belly. and then has been caught on the
corners of the apparejo. and has had q

The Fear of Death.

The difference OF courage in men OF
different races and religions are curl
ouSly illustrated by the behavior OF the
Egyptians and of Europeans in times OF
war and in times of pestilence. 1t is re-
ported that the Egyptians are inditfer-
ent TO death if it comes on them in the
shape of cholera. The natives take no
sanitary precautions at all. except when
they are compelled. They do not even
run away. They would crowd like
flies around the body of one of their own
saints or holy men who had just died of
cholera without the slightest dread of
infection. They wear the clothes left
by relations whom the malady has just
carried off, showing even more courage
than the merchants who are so anxious
to bring Egyptian rags into this country.
In the matter of food and drink the ma
tives make no difference when cholera
is among them. Perhaps they have not
much choice. They still devour the
flesh of animals which have perished
by q natural death. and what they cam
not eat they throw into canals of which
they then drink the water. When plague
