The MuIe-Shoe Curve.

A Denver correspondent describes the
famous Veta pass and its /" Mule-Shoe :"
curve, Rocky Mountains, as follows:
" We told the conductor to drop us ON
a side track. This done, the train went.
swinging around the curve of 80 7e-
grees, and over the bridge which stands
at the toe of the shoe, doubling on its
own length, rs if bent to the course Of
the track. Then, with a hoarse painting
and grinding of tortured wheels and
rails, the two powerful locomotives began
to force their way up the hillside right
opposite us (across the gulch), the slant
ing line of bright windows showing how
amazingly steep grade of 217 feet to
the mile really is. The brow of the
headlight thrust itself forward, not level,
as Is It's wont, but aimed at a planet that
glimmered Just above distant ghostly
peak. 1t was mysterious, uncanny.
Only when the stokers opened the doors
OF the laboring furnaces and volumes of
red light suddenly illumined the over
hanging masses of smoke, and touched
into strange prominence for an instant
the rocks aud the trees beside the en-
glne, could we perceive that the train
stood upon anything solid or was NOV
ing other than as sort of slow meteor.
But it was real and tine sight for the
eyes of practical man, as we'll as fan
ciful woman, to watch those great ma
chimes walk up that hill, spouting two
geysers of smoke and sparks and drag
elng the ponderous train AS if another
pounds weight would stop lis course.
Now and again it would be obscured be-
hind the fringe of woods through which
the track passed, and then we would see
the rugged spruces sharply outlined
against the illuminated volume of

A Dentist Tells a Queer story

From the New York Morning Journal.l
"M hy," said prominent dentist to a
Journal reporter, "a beautiful young
lady came to me and insisted on having
her really fine teeth pulled out and false
ones put in their place. protested that
it would be foolish, silly, senseless; but
she said no, she would have them out,
and if Iwould not do it some other dem
tist would. my teeth are not fashion
able, she said, they are too long, and
short little broad teeth like corn kernels
are all the fashion now, and no one ad-
mires my mouth, and 1 will have them.
SO made her the teeth, and they cost
her just $500. She couldn't see anyone
for tgo weeks after pulled out her own.
They were the upper ones only, and 1
made them up with gold plates for a
handsome young fellow who had his own
teeth knocked out in base ball game.
The worst Of it is that he is in love with
this very girl whose teeth he wears, and
she knows they are hers. just pond er

A Case of Mistaken Identity,
From the Detroit post.l


A young society gentleman of this
city, who is very short-sighted, recently
made call on family on Sproat Street
and spent very pleasant evening with
some young ladies who reside there. 1t
happened that lie passed the house every
day to go to his meals, and naturally,
after passing an agreeable evening there,
he looked that way as he passed in the
morning. AS he did SO he saw the ro-
tund form of the lady of the house on
the front steps and he made ap agoniz-
ingly polite bow. At noon she happened
to be there again, and this time Re lifted
his hat clearly off his head in Difference
to the mother of the charming young
ladies. At nightfall, as he hurried by.
she was again on the front steps and he
stopped to speak.
"Good evening, Mrs. -" he said,
blandly. "The air is delightful this
evening""
No answer.
81 hope you are quite well, and the
young ladies also."
Not syllable.
''Do you intend to have garden this
year 2"
The same unbroken silence. Then the
young gentleman extended his hand and
touched the sitting-room coal-stove,
which had been set out early in the morn.

base burner remarks, and now he is
looking for the man who said: "Excuse
me, madam, when he ran against COW.

Indeed, her hungering heart suddenly
became quite unmanageable, and enter.
ing the carriage poor, melted Jane
sobbed out: ~ I'm sure it is very good
Of you, Samuel, to come back for me this
rainy day" and then the tears flowed
SO fast that further words were impos-
sible.
Completely taken by surprise, Mr..
Tucker exclaimed: 81 declare! / hadn't
no idea you'd care SO much about it."
ri wouldn't mind the walk" re-
sponded the wife, " but, Samuel, Pm so
happy to have you-care enough about
me to come.
The strong man was brushing away a
tear from his own cheek now; bis ten
derer, better nature WAS mastering the
hard, selfish spirit which had long pos.
sessed him, and with some cou ching and
choking, he said: "Jane, I see I've
made an awful botch of our married life;
if you're mind to forgive me, I'll see
if l can't treat you from to-day as wo.
man ought to be treated"
This confession was all too much for
the weeping wife, and she answered
quickly: "You're not bit more to
blame than am; I've been proud and
obstinate; but tell you what it is, we'll
begin all over again.
the ice was now thoroughly broken
and that afternoon Farmer Tucker; and
his wife had long talk over the past
and the future. And in the ,evenipg,
when they were about to start for prayer
meeting to be held in neighboripg
school house, the renewed husband
stopped and kissed his wife, saying:
Jane, I've been a-thinking that mar
ried life amt so very different from
farming or any other occupation. Now,
l amt such fool ac to think o field

eff l hadn't changed any maybe you
would always have been as tender as you
used to be, pleaded the happy wife.
Perhaps SO, and perhaps not; but
don It mean to leave you to try no such
plan; tell you what it is Jane, feel as
if we hadn't never been really married
till to-day. 1t most seems as if we
ought to take wedding tower"
Pm afraid we'll have to wait till next
summer for that, was the smiling re-
sponse.
"I suppose we shall. but we'll take it
then, certain; and I'll tell you where
We'll go, wife-that's to Chautauquy!"

The Son of a Good Mother.

lFrom the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.)
The death of the mother of Gen. Grant
suggests thoughtfulness upon the pa
rentage of the man who is unquestion-
ably the most notable figure in the most
memorable chapter of our history as
people. Gen. Grant was the son of a
strong man and good woman. His
father was known for remarkable ener-
gies and inflexible will. He was re-.
marked among mis- neighbors for his
rugged power, and in the affairs in which
he mingled se naturally asserted leader
ship. The generals mother was an un.
assuming, serenely faithful Methodist
lady, model of sweet, old-fashioned,
genuine simplicity and piety, whose
deepest consciousness was that il was
the part of man to be dutiful, and that
all the glory should be given to God.

The Shadows of Real Life.


A gentleman witnessed the following
piteous little drama in market in this
city last week. A lady richly dressed
stood before stall, and as she received
package from the pale, care-worn little
woman, said kindly:
"How is your lu:le glrl to-day ?"
"She is Dead" the woman answered.
"Oh, how sorry I am," with still
greater gentleness; "when did she
die ?"
"This morning."
