''Come tomorrow" said the lawyer
'.and III have the papers ready tc
sign" ,,
The next day at noon Miss Morrir
had just seated herself to read a Maine
paper when there came a knock that
had grown familiar. Little Nan walked
IN quietly, and seating herself rocked
restlesly back and forth.
'Is your father rich?'' she asked.
suddenly.
INC" answered Miss Morrin. Hes
poor farmer. That's why I'm out
here teaching school"
Like to teach?"
Il get very tired sometimes" sighed
Miss Morrin. The childron are so
troublesome.
You know lot about figgers, don't
you?" said Nan. Three hundred
thousand dollars is pretty good pile,
haint it?''
well, yes" smiled Miss Morriu,
I've would call a man with as much
as that very rich out in Maine"
g 'Taint much fur here" said Nan a
little contemptuously. You don't cali
s25, 200 much, do youa"
''lt would be nice to have said
Miss Morrin. Then she sighed How
happy that modest sum would make
her and James!
do You git much fur teachin?"
asked Little Nan, abruptly.
'No, but | manage to get along and
send some money home. just as you
do"
Nan rocked back and forth-back
and forth.
I'm goin' home tonight" she said,
suddenly. Il reckon I'll take the l2
O'Clock train. / shan't never forget
YOU" she added softly. Il took a
shine to you the day you spoke to me
on the stairs. There haint many ladies
In this ere camp, and none of 'em
speaks to me. Old Billy liked you,
too"
She rose and crossed the room, then
paused. Thank you fur bein' kind to
me! and for the last time the door
closed upon Little Nan.
During the following day an envelope
bearing the stamp of the First National
Bank was handed Miss Morrin. She
hastily tore it open, and there fell out
a check for $25,00O.
But although she followed up every
cIew she could never discover the
whereabouts of the sender.
The interest of his wife's private
fortune is a great help to the Rev.
James Wetherill, who is still a Door
in Maine.

Home of the Cardiff Giants.

The city of NIoberly, Mo-, is stirred
up over wonderful buried city, which
was discovered at the bottom of a coal
shaft 300 feet deep, which was beng
sunk near MOberly. A hard and thick
stratum of lava arches in the buried
city, the streets of which are regularly
laid out and enclosed by walls of stone,
which is cut and dressed in fairly good,
although rude, style of masonry. A
hall 3ONlOU feet was discovered, where
IN We're stone benches and tools OF all
descriptions for mechanical service.
Further search disclosed statues and
images made of composition closely
resembling bronze, lacking luster.
A stone fountain was found in wide
court or street, and from ii a stream OF
perfectly pure water was flowing,
which, upon being tasted, was found to
be strongly impregnated with lime
Lying beside the fountain were por-
tions OF the skeleton of a human being.
The bones of the leg measured, the
femur four and one-ha1f feet, and the
tibla four feet and three inches, show
ing that when alive the figure was
three times the size of an ordinary
man, and possessed OF wonderful mus
cular power and qulckness. The head
bones had separated in two pieces, the.
sagittal and the coronal suture having
been destroyed The implements found
embrace bronze and flint knives, stone
and granite hammers, metallic saws Of
rude workmanship but proved metal.
and others of similar character. They
are not so highly polished nor so aecu-
rately made as those now finished by
our best mechanics, but they show skill
and an evidence of an advanced ciTiIi-l
cation.
The searching party spent twelve
hours in the depths, and only gave up
explorations because of the oil in their
lamps being low. These facts are
vouched for by Mr.. David Coates, tha
recorder OF the city of Moberly, and
Mr. George Heating, city marshal, who
were OF the exploring party. A further
extended search will be made in a day
or tWo-N Y San.

Booths Ride BY Night.

''Did you ever know how Booth
passed the pickets on the bridge of the
Potomac that fatal nightP" Said nv
friend. Il will tell you as it was told
me by the old sentinel who was that
night ON duty there. A half hour be-
fore the time agreed upon by Booth to
meet Harold the latter, who had lived
in the neighborhood of the bridge all
his life, and who was across the river
in the little village of UniontoWn then,
crossed the bridge to come over on the
Washington side. Who goes there?
said the sentinel on the bridge. A
friend, going for a doctor, replied
Harold. Pass, said the sentinel. He
quickly rode up Eleventh street to Penn
sylvania avenue and Eighth street, and
there in the darkness waited until the
laundering hoofs of Booths horse were
heard coming down Pennsylvania
avenue The two horsemen then start
ed down Eighth street toward the
bridge on that ride for their lives,
which ended in Garrett's burning barn
in Virginia, a hundred miles away.
Who goes there?' rang out on the air
from the startled sentry as the two
horses came rushing toward the bridge.
Harold was ahead and cried out. "A
friend. with the doctor The two men
passed over the bridge, and it was per-
haps several hours after the reverbera-
tions of the horses hoofs had died away
before the sentry knew who the men in
such a hurry really were. and when he
found it out he was nearly scared to
death for fear he had failed to do his
duty. ."--Philadelphid Times.

GREAT STOCK MEETING.
No Quorum Present and No Busi-
ness Transacted.
oepEN, April 10. 1885.

OGDEN, April IL, 1885.
70 the Editor of The HERALD:
Pursuant to a call of the Utah and
Idaho Consolidated Stock Association
a few of the members met at 10.3O to-
day, w. C. Rydalch. vice-president, in
the chair. Roll called. No quorum
present Six members from the south,
four from Ogden, none from Idaho. The
forenoon was occupied in speeches. One
was made by Mr.. A. T. Atwater, who,
in short. gave synopsis of his visit,
stating that be had heard much OF a
division existing among cattle men in
Salt Lake, but on arriving there found
nothing but what would be settled
amicably.
Mr.. II. J. Faust was called on. He
gave a short discourse on what had
been done i'll the way of organizing as
sociations, and that the good work
might still go on was his wish.
Some other minor speeches, all con-
tanning good advice, were made.
A recess was taken until o'clock, at
which hour there were just six mem
bers present, and after much telephon-
ing and waiting until 3 O'Clock, three of
the Ogden members came in; still no
quorum. Some more speeches from
the president and the Ogden members.
The last was in substance that they
could see what was the matter. Cold
water was thrown on the project, be-
cause Salt Lake wanted the headuuar-
tiers there, and wished to do all the
shipping. Consistency has always been
called jewel. 1t still is so. These
fellows stayed away from their own
meeting, and then laid the blame on
some one else. The same old story, if
you are ashamed of it, lay it On the
hens, will hold good here. Idaho mem
bers we're nonse0nlatibus.
The few adjourned without date. And
so ended meeting that should have
been largely attended. When Ogden
gets the southern members up here
again, simply to give the railroads "a,
and to witness the members walking
lazily around town, am sure it will be
hereafter. Yours,
A. MAVERICK.
w. G. Rydalch, vice-president of the
Utah and Idaho Stock Association,
who came down from Ogden on Mon
day night, says the adjournment of the
convention at Ogden without doing
anything, on Monday, was owing to the
absence in the east of President Her.
man, and that when he returned, the
stockmen would be again called together
and something done. One or two ether
gentlemen from the convention express
the utmost disgust at the outcome, and
of the manner in which Ogden and
Northern Utah and Idaho rallied" to
the convention.
