him in locating new route from
Mammoth Hot Springs to Tower Falls,
and over Mount Washburn; also a
road on the western shore of the Lake
and through to the Upper Geyser Ba.
sin; and another from Norris Basin to
the Grand Canyon, which will shorten
the distance between those points over
40 miles. During Mr.. Hofer's expert.
ence Of six years as guide and packer
an accident has never occurred to any
one under his care.
1t is fact worthy of note that dur.
ing the entire season of 1884 not
single complaint has been made, to my
knowledge, against any Of the Park
guides by parties who employed them.
In many instances the guides received
handsome presents for their care and
courtesy toward their employees. There
has also been commendable activity
on the part of teamsters, guides, and
tourists to prevent the mutilation of
objects Of interest and the spread of
forest fires. LIBERTY CAP.

The Professional Grumbler.

Your regular professional grumbler
is generally gentleman inclined to be
stout, and partial to snooze after din
ner. He affects ample folds of broad
cloth; is curious in the matter of
worsted comforters for keeping his
throat warm, and small India rubber
boots for keeping his feet dry. He is a
comfortable man-very precise and reg
ular in his habits has comforta-
BILE house, with everything in it as pre-
else and regular as himself. He has no
great misfortunesto bewail. consequently
he grumbles at the smallest miseries.
His very comfort turns into the SER
pent that stings him. He is perpetu-
ally finding out subjects for pathetic
complaint. If he is not eloquent upon
the dust in the street he will be over
powering on the mud. The weather al
ways seems to be engaged in conspir-
acy against him. The east wind he
holds to be the ringleader He is per-
suaded that it was only created to
watt rheumatism on its wings and keep
up the average supply of sciatica. If,
however. the weather be still and close
and hot, he knows very well that fever
is brewing-he is sure of it, mark his
words nothing else can be expected
from this confounded choky day. If he
goes out without his umbrella and the
clouds gather and the rain falls he is
almost speechless with indignation. X
is always SO, always his luck-were he
to have incumbered himself with great
awkward umbrella the rain would never
have thought Of coming on, never. To
hear him you would suppose that the
clerk of the weather signal Office was a
real parsonage; that he and the grum-
bier had quarreled in their youth and
that the official in question being of a
spiteful turn of mind had never forgot
ten the old grudge.-Brookly,a Eagle.

A Robins Theft.

Two ladies at the house of Mr.. We'll
come Allen, at actory Point, Yer
mont, wishing to bleach three pieces Of
la e. placed them out on the grass in
the front yard. The lace wa, LETT out
all ght. and on the following morning
only two of the pieces could be seen.
by nightfall only one piece remained.
T.. ladies talked the matter over t. at
evening, and decided 10 keep watch the
next day, which they did, and in about
an hour the watcher caught the culprit
in the act. Sh- saw a robin fly down
from tree in the yard, pick up the
remaining bit of lace, and carry it
back with it among the branches.
Search then disclosed the nest, and
it was seen that the missing piece,
of lace had been used in adding to
the comfort OF red breasts mate. i be
asst pie OF lace was a yard and three
quarters long, and 1t was amusing to
see the robin work it around and
weave it into the costly and co y
home. The ladies decided to let the
birds have the lace, and brood of
young robins was reared III very styl-
ish manner,-Golden DAYS.

Pretenders and Their Dupes.

The ..unfortunate nobleman," now
waiting deliverance from one of Her
Msjesty's jails, is by no means solitary
specimen Of his kind. Hardly decade
passes but some fool or rogue does not
claim to be an heir defrauded of his in
heritance, an unrecognized Prince or an
uncrowned King. The mysterious
death of the unfortunate son of Louis
XVI. afforded imposters of this class an
opportunity of which they were not slow
to avail themselves. Only last year the
President of the French Chamber had
10 order the expulsion of an individual
who asserted that he was Louis XVII,
and demanded to be restored to the
throne of his ancestors. This gentle
man did not appear to be in the least
discouraged by two fatal and obvious
objections to his claims-that by this time
Louis XVII. would be nearly hundred
years old, and that if he were ever so
much alive France would not make him
her King. It is said, however, that he
found simpletons credulous enough to
accept his pretensions, and believe that
q man who could not be more than fifty
was ninety-eight London Spectator.

A Burning Bush Of This Day.

There is q remarkable tree or shrub
in . small gulch near some springs
about twelve miles north of Tuscarura.
1t is about six or seven feet in height,
with trunk which at its base is about
three times the size Of a mans wrist. 1t
has innumerahle branches and twigs
and resembles somewhat the barberry
tree. kIt its remarkable character
lstic 10 its foliage, which at certain
season of the year is 80 luminous that it
en- be plainly distinguished in the
darkest night for distance of more
than mile, while in its Immediate Vi
cinity it emits sufficient light to enable
a person to read the finest print. Its
foliage is extremely rank, and its
leaves resemble somewhat in size, shape
and color those of the aromatic bay
tree of California. The luminous prop
erty is evidently parasitic, and consists
of . sort of gummy substance, which,
upon being transferred by rubbing to a
PcrsOn's hand, imparts to it the same
apparently phosphorescent light, while
that on the leaf entirely disappears.
The Indians regard it with supersti-
ton. and will not approach it even in
the day time If they can possibly avoid
it. They have name for it, which lit
orally interpreted, signifies witch
tree" An old Shoshone informed tho
writer that there were only two others
