Selecting a Guide.

From Hunting the Rocky Mountain
Goat by William A. Baillie-G -Grohman,
in the December Century, we quote the
following: 1.-The first was known as
the fellow who could stand more rest
than any other man in the territory or
in other words, was supposed to be the
LATEST man in Montana. The second
was reputed to be a decidedly bad
man, an old-time Virginia City vigi-
lante, known throughout the country
as Judge Neversweat,' on account Of
the equanimity of mind exhibited by
him at q certain most critical moment
of his life, when he held at bay, with an
anloG0ed revolver, four doomed and
desperate men, thirsting for his life and
their liberty. Judge Neversweat evinc-
ed a desire TO act as our guide across
the Bitter Root Mountains. every foot

mere idea of good time without I'M

an insult to frontier manhood. He was
too angry to give vent to the usual un
brided flow of bad language: his other
wise loud voice toned down to an angry
snarl, his eyes glittered, his form grew
erect. his whole being assumed an aus
terely dignitied air; in one word, Judge
Neversweat became polite. 1t was a
mood the half-dozen mountaineers, si-

understand and to fear, for they all

Well Supplied With Brass.

A good story in which brass is min
gled with brains to some purpose,
is told by the Americus (Ga.) Record
er:
The hero is George Parker. for many
years a conductor on South Carolina
railroads. He was smart, but of a
fiery disposition, and was continually
getting into trouble and being moved
from one railroad to another. At last
he had gone the rounds of the railroads
in that state, and through some of his
friends got place on the Brunswick,
Ga, road, through the wire-grass re-
gion. where they board the trains in
gangs and refuse to pay fare. He
tackled party of three one day who
refused to pay fare, and nearly got
killed. When he recovered he was dis
charged, and went back to his old
home in Augusta. One day he met
Gen. Wade Hampton, and asked him
for a job. Hampton said: George, l
don't know as | can do anything for
you but give you a letter to President
Hayes" George took the letter, pawn
ed his watch, went to Washington, and
presented his letter Mr. Hayes said:
'.Mr. Parker, what do you want?"
George answered that he would like to
be consul to --. Hayes said he
had just promised that, but as this was
the first request from Gen. Hampton
he would give him place as consul to
another eastern port. George thanked
him, went out and managed to get
back to Augusta, where his friends
helped him to funds, and he left for
his consulate. He promptly repaid the
loan out of his salary, eventually mar
ried countess, and has his old posi-

Cooking a Girl.

Earle, who wrote a very readable, In
telligent, and but little known account
OF the Maoris very early in the present
century, speaks of the gentle manners
and kindly ways of New Zealand
chief, whom afterward he discovered
to be an inveterate cannibal. He re-
lates that he visited the place where
was cooking the body of d young slave
girl that his friend had killed for the
purpose The head was severed from
the body; the four quarters, with the
principal bones removed, were com
pressed and packed into a small oven
in the ground, and covered with earth.
1t was case of unjustitiablc cannibal-
ism. No revenge was gratited by the
deed, and no excuse could be made
that the body was eaten to perfect their
triumph. Earle SAYS that he learned
that the ilesh takes many hours to cook.
that 1t IS very tough if not thoroughly
cooked, but that it pulls in pieces, like
a bit Of blotting-paper, il well done.
lie continues that the victim was a
handsome. pleasant-looking girl of six
teen, and one that he used frequently TO
see about the pah. To quote his own
words:
while listening to this frightful de
tail, we felt sick almost to fainting.
We LETT Atoi'' (the chief who had kill
ed the girD, land again strolled
toward the spot where this disgusting
feast was cooking. Not native was
now near it; a hot steam kept occasion
ally bursting from the smothered mass,
and the same dog that we had seen take
the head of the girl now crept from be-
meath the bushes and sneaked toward
the village; to add to the gloominess of
the whole, large hawk rose heavily
from the very spot where the poor VIC
tim had been cut in pieces. My friend
and | sat gazing in this melancholy
place; it was a lowering, gusty day,
and the moaning of the wind through
the bushes, as it swept round the hill
on which we We're, seemed in unison
with our feelings"
Earle goes on to relate how he, and
three otIer compatriots whom he sum-
moned from the beach for the purpose,
with the Englishman' usual imperti-
nent interference and intolerance of
customs differing from his own, de-
termined to frusrate Atoi's intention.
They together visited the hiil where the
flesh was cooking. and, destroying the
oven, buried the remains in the earth.
They found the heart put on one side
for the special delectation of their con-
stant friend and companion, Atoi.
Earle was afterward good-humoredly
told by the chief that their interference
had been of no avail, as they had found
the grave where the flesh had been
buried, and opening it, soon after he
and his friends had left, had finished
cooking 1t and eaten it all.-Fr0n

A Devil to Think.

This reminds me of the story of the
mana great ornithologist-who ad-
vertised that he had got the clever
est parrot in the world. and that he
would sell it to buyer for $500. This
bird began TO create most sensible eX-
element, and it was sold-not to the
kensington museum, for it was not in
existence at the time, but | believe if it
had it would have been eagerly pur-
chased by it-but to a respectable old
lady,who gave the required $500 for the
bird. She kept ii for a season, but still
it did not talk single word. and if she
had kept it for hundred years it would
not have by that time uttered anything.
She kept it for about a year, and vet
it had not spoken anything. About this
time she met the man. the famous orni-
biologist and former owner of the
bird, and asked him the reason that it
had not spoken, at the same time eX-
pressing surprise att, when he answer
ed: No, but it devil to think" l
think that is very much the case with
the domestic policy of the ministry.

One Kind of Christianity.

On holy-day not long since a lady
belonging to our ''upper ten'' went to
Trinity church, and seeing lady alone
in a favorable pew went forward and
entered the pew. The occupant look
ed up from her prayer-book and said:
''This is my pew; and if others come
there will be no room for you ! he
lady in question bowed and left, and on
seeing only one person directly in front
of the seat she had just left stepped in
to the pew. At the same moment the
first Christian (?) leaned forward and
spoke few words to the second, who
said to the stranger; Il think friends
may come, who will require these
seats" Upon which the stranger left
the secoLd pew; and while standing for
d moment in the aisle, wondering if she
could have made a mistake in the
church, an old friend and one of the
most distinguished members of the con-
gregation opened his door, inviting her
to enter. After the service he told her
that she ''would be welcome to a seat
there at any and all times"
The two Christian women were evil
IDENTIFY surprised at the strangers
friendly reception, and afterward ex-
pressed their chagrin, particularly as
their not recognizing the thought-to-be
intruder was reflection upon them
selves. Should this meet the eye of
either of those ladies it is to be hoped
at another time they may consent to be
more courteous and more worthy TO be
numbered among Phillips Brooks
flock.-BOstO12 Courier.

A Racy Rat Story.

A large number of rats established
themselves in a hay-loft. about midway
between the floor and the top of the
hay. The owner of the premises,
hearing continuous squealing noise
in the loft, tooa a fork and removed
the hay from the place whence the
noise proceeded and uncovered nest
of about twenty rats. Several of them
ran and Wee caught by the dog, but
bundle of sixteen full-grown animals
remained on the spot; their tails were
plated together, something after the
fashion of whip-cord. By picking up
one of them the rest adhered and could
not be shaken apart. 1t was supposed
by persons who saw them that in order
to avoid the cold the rat occupying the
top of the pile sought warmer place
by creeping underneath, but not hav-
ing room to draw his tail after him 1t
was left sticking out; the next rat did
the same, and so on until all had
changed their position and every indl-
vidual rats tail was entwined into the
curious knot that held them together.
If they had not been discovered and
killed they must have starved, as they
could not have separated.

A Sunday Joke Played by Bad Boys.

Pittsburg Commercial.
Half dozen sharp boys played a joke on the
congregation of the North-avenue NJ E. Church,
last evening, and by no means for the first time,
either. AS soon as the services were over these
boys hurried to the door, and though the moon
was shining and the sky almost clear, they raised
their umbrellas and huddled around the door as
if the rain was pouring AS the people descend
ed to the door they saw these umbrellas raised
Blinded by the light in the church, they could
not see out upon the street.
The remark passed along the line, ooh,
it's just pouring down." Ladies stopped in the
hallway to arrange their skirts so as to keep
them from tho wet, gentlemen raised their um
brelas, and all the usual preparations that go
on in place of that sort when it ia raining were
made The people finally ventured out, snugly
ensconced under their umbrellas, and some
travelled several squares before they Noticed
that the moon was shining Those same boys
frightened the ladies of the congregation nearly
distracted one Sunday evening by playing the
same trick a bright, pleasant evening, when
no one but the jokers were provided with rain
coats and umbrellas.
