others ran in search of healing
leaves of different sorts. Bruis-
ing these in stone mortar. they
rubbed him from. head to foot
with the wet fiber. All his pain
and WEAKNESS vanished as by
magic. His wounds healed. and
IN a day he was ready to set off for
nome. There was but one pony in
the old women's camp. This was
old, vicious, blind of one eve. and
with one ear cropped short; but il
looked to Don Antonio far more
beautiful than the gay steed on
which he he'd ridden away from
I1t Los Angeles three days before.
There was one pair OF ragged
shoes OF enormoas size among the
old women's possession. These
were strapped on his feet by
leather thongs and bit OF old
sheepskin was tied around the DO
ny's body. Thus aceoutered and
mounted, shivering in his draw
ers under his single blanket, the
captain and fag-bearer turned
ms face homeward. At the first
friends house he reached he stop-
ped and begged for food. Some
dried meat was given him and a
stool on the porch offered to him.
1t was the house of dear friend
and the friends sister was his
sweetheart. As he sat there eat-
ing his meat the women eyed him
curiously. One said to the other:
How much he looks like Anto-
Mo-"
"At last the sweetheart, coming
nearer, asked him if he were any
relation Of Don Antonio?"
NO" he said. Just at that mo-
ment his friend rode up, gave one
glace at the pitiful beggar sitting
on his porch, shouted his name
and seized him in his arms Then
was a great laughing and half
weeping, for it had been rumored
that he had been taken prisoner
by the Americans.
From a friend he received
welcome gift of pair of trows-
ers, many inches too short for his
legs. At the next house his friend
was as much too tall, and his sec
ond pair Of trowsershad to be roll
ed up in thick folds around his
ankles.
Finally, he reached Los Angeles
IN safety. Hating in a grove out
side the town, he waited till twi-
light before entering. Having
disguised himself in the rags he
had worn from the Indian village,
ne rode boldly up to the porch of
OF his fathers house, and in an
lmpudent tone called for brandy.
The terrified women began to
scream; but his youngest sister,
fixing one piercing glance on his
face, laughed out gladly, and
cried:
"You can't fool me; you are
Antonio"

Why Rich Wan is Like Fat

IN which the negro is at all interest
ed by reason Of direct taxation is the
poll tax, and, without copy Of the

safely be stated that $40,U0O will

The Smallest of the States.

A Nevada man in speaking about
Senator Jones's candidacy for re-elec-
ton says that very peculiar condition
OF affairs exists in Nevada at the present
time, which is certain to attract public
attention sooner or later. The popula-
ton of the state has dwindled since the
census in 1880. when it was put down
at about $4,000, to about $4,000, of
whom probably one-third are voters.
The mines no longer produce as of old;
and as there is but little arabic land in
the state the inhabitants have been
leaving in large numbers for new min
ing fields, until it is not uncommon
to see places which were once
populous now almost en-
tirely deserted. The result of all this
is that very few persons have to pay
all the expenses of maintaining state
government, and there is much grum-
bling in consequence. Outside of the
oficeholders and some few who are in
an attitude of expectancy, there is hard
~ q property owner in the state who
would not gladly welcome return to
territorial condition, were such thing
possible and thus throw upon the gem
eral government the expenses now
borne by the people. But "once state
always state is the doctrince of this
union, and Nevada must stand up the
rack as long as there is a voter left
within her borders. No matter how
small her population may become, she
will continue to have one representative
and two senator's in congress-

Palmistry In Fashion.

Lent, this year, will be season. for
study and meditation. The last craze,
which will reach its zenith this coming
summer, is the passion for palmistry and
fortune-telling. It is one which requires
a little reading and trifle of thought.
During the solemn hours in the Lent
just at hand, our society bellies will
"cram" on these subjects for the summer
campaign. In auld lang syne the for.
tune-telling witch was wrinkled, and
barefoot. She had bleary eyes and
skinny hands, and sent unpleasant
shivers up and down your body. We
are improving on these things. The
fortune-telling witch of to-day has red
lips and bright eyes, soft, little, white
hand. with rosy polished nails, and an
electric battery in every finger-tip.
She wears dainty French slippers and
a coquettish smile, and carries lace
umbrella with rose-pink lining big
enough to tint a whole afternoon for two.
Besides all this, I have heard it said
that the modern witch is twice as likely
to reveal to you the true image of your
temporarily loved one as was ever the
ancient article. And then, too, with
this change, men have grown more self
sacrificing and humane. Instead of
burning witches at the stake, as they
used to do in olden time, men now lead
them to the altar, and mayhap, most
likely, dance sort of witches dance"
for them forever after.

Raynor was native Of North Carolina. His
home was in Raleigh, until called to Washing
ton by President Hayes, who appointed him to
the position lie had since held. Politically, he
was al old line-Whig before the war, but for
many years past he had been identified with

idas Polk, Of the confederate army, who was
killed in front Of Atlanta. Mr.. Kaynor was
wealthy before the war. owning an extensive
plantation in Mississippi and large number of
slaves. 1t is related that soon after his inau-
guration, President Garfield was importuned
TO remove Raynor to make room for somebody
who coveted the place. 'No," said the presi-
dent. Il used to read Raynor's speeches when
was a young man at college, and I was
charmed with the eioquence. Now, in the ml-
tation of events, I am president and he is poor,
holding subordinate treasury position: h
am president"

ty-one years. Judge Waite was born in Wind

Scientific Notes,

1t is asserted that passengers perceive
difference in the ease of riding in cars
having the larger or smaller wheels, and
that they prefer those with the large
ones. This, SAYS the National Gar
Builder, is significant if not conclusive.
1t is very significant fact indicative
of the closing of the gulf between the
distant East and the far West, in quite
an unexpected direction, that the ap-
pointment of Japanese student as as
sistant to the Professor of Anatomy at
Berlin has received the approval of the
Minister of Public Worship.
Dwellings for artisans are at present
built on All improved plan at Hornsey,
England. They are erected on plots Is
feet 6 inches wide by eighty feet in
depth, and differ from the first class
merely in having one bedroom less and
one water-closet only on the groun d
floor. The rental is not more than So q
week.
On distilling sodic chloride with the
selenized, as in the manufacture of n.y.
drochoric acid, DR.. Drinkwater found
that all the selemum distilled over and
was dissolved in the acid, the saline res
idue being practically free from the i'm
purity. The results were independent
of either temperature or quantity of acid
employed.
Gen. Berdan is said to have invented
new fuse for shell projectiles, which
cannot fail to effect explosion at the
right moment. The principle involved
consists in utilizing the rotary motion
of the projectile to ignite fuse after
the former has made certain number
of revolutions. The rifing of the gun
determines the space passed over in
each revolution, thus permitting the adj
justment.

The Greatest Religious Edifice in
America.

The great building at Salt Lake,
which the saints have been twenty-eight
years in constructing, is approaching
completion. The main walls are done.
It is built of granite, which is hauled
from the mountains back of Salt Lake
on wagons Or trucks with wheels twelve
feet high. The walls are ten feet in
thickness, and eighty-five feet high.
It has cost up to this time $4,000, 900
which has been collected by the tithine
tax. 1t will require six years more to
finish the work. Probably no other
church building in the United States ha7
been constructed in a way to secure sucl
durability as is possible to this. Some
of those who predict the early rain o,
the Mormon hierarchy are wondering
what use they can make of this temple.
But such calculations are rather prema-
ture. The sect may endure longer thar

An Independent Engine.


Concord Monitor:
A singular freak Of train at Mont
peler one night this week is reported.
The train leaves that station at 3 80 a.
M, and stands on tho track for two
hours or so before that time, with no
employees on it. A Waterman calls the
engineer at three o'clock, and was just
returning from that errand on the night
in question when to his surprise he saw
the train draw >lowly out of the station.
Help was at once summoned, and pur-
suit was begun with teams. The run
away was found standing just on a
curve some five miles from Montpelier.
Why the train started
is a mystery. When found there was
but thirty pounds of steam on, and the
lever was only one notch ahead of the
''center." The only person on board
was a passenger, man who sat reading
in one of the passenger cars. He had
no intimation that anything was wrong
until the train came to stand-still,
when he fastened forward to a cab and
found it deserted. He then sought the
nearest farm house for lantern, end
was just returning when the pursuers
came up. No person is known to have
been near the train save the passenger,
and he is known to have had nothing to
do with the runaway.

way, seemingly passive and yet positive
withal, that she guided Ernest.

She led the way into the room. Mir

OF those closed lids were lying like a
shadow upon her fair cheek. Ernest
came up to her and took her hand.
"Well," he said kindly, chow is my
little blind wife,"

He started at the significance of the
words-b but more so when pair of
sweet brown eyes flashed their radiance
into his face. They were yelling in

darkness.

Ernest knelt at her feet he took her

cheeks and lips with kisses.
"All I know is, that whereas was

Ernest.

The Wages of Sin Promptly Paid.


At Rochester. N. Y, beautiful face
white in death, relieved by locks of "a
ven hair saturated with blood, was the
startling sight that met the proprietor
of the New Osborne house Saturday
morning. He was hastily summoned
by q chambermaid to the room in which
on the previous evening guest named
Mrs. John T. Virgins Of Rome, N. Y.
had retired. She reached the hotel last
Saturday night without a trunk. She
was very richly attired in sealskin sacque
and silk dress and she wore fine iewelry.
She said she was ON her way west and
intended to remain few days in Roch-
ester. The sensation produced by find
ing her dead, with the revolver still
clinched in her hand, was intense. It
was discovered that physician had at
tended her the previous evening. He
stated that he found her suffering from
acute mania and that she had
told him that she had desire to die on
account of domestic difficulties. The
physician told the hotel proprietor to
have her watched, and the chamber
maid had remained with her until Mrs.
Virgins aimed the revolver at her head,
when she ran and gave the alarm by
shrieking. Mrs. Virgins was the wife
of John T. Virgins, a prominent furni-
ture dealer of Rome, N. Y. She was o
dashing young girl, and was married to
John T. Virgins four years ago. It is
said she had the reputation of being fast
before marriage. Her husband had the
greatest confidence in her until year
ago, when he became suspicious of her
intimacy with several prominent men,
including lawyers and merchants. He
set watch, and became convinced of
her unfaithfulness. He instituted di-
vorce proceedings last Augsut and ceased
living with her.
