it well, too; his clear, deep voice went
down to the lowest note with an ease and

he was in the act Of carrying himself chair

away down in the corner shouted Forty

every part of the house. Charley was an
old hand at the business and the author of
the DAYS Of Forty-nine' heroic old bal
lad that has been heard in every mining
camp of the great west. Back he came
and poured out to willing ears the famil-
lar old tale Of Monte Pete, Rackensack
Jack, Old Lame Jess and all the rest
"Who in their bloom
Went up the t1ume
In the days OF forty-nine."
Charley had the house, and kept it, till
regard for the remainder of the bill forced
him TO retire. Extravaganza jig dancing,
a stump speech and burlesque completed
the programme. and though the greater
part of the audience knew as they arose
from their seats that the performance had
not been up to the printed and lavishly
circulated promises, yet no one grumbled,

One thing however had marred the eve

On one of the wings, the scenic artist
had pictured a charred and broken tree,
which soon grew to resemble in my eyes
the cedar miles away. Often did my gaze
revert from it to the players, and as often
did it return. At last from out the indis-
tinct splotches of dim color did my imag-
ination trace a blurred picture of a mans
face. There was the broad black slouched

nose, then a big beard, wen shoulders and

Mineral Belt Railroad.

The Mineral Belt road will begin at point at or near Flagstaff and run almost directly south, a distance of IFS miles to Globe. Two routes from the summit of the Mogollons to Wild Rye valley are under consideration, to be determined after actual survey by distance and practicability of route. One is Strawberry valley, supposed to be shortest, which avoids the worst features of the Rim Rock and necessi- ty of tunneling The other is King s route which comes off the Mcgollon mountains at the head of East Verd,, and by way of Payson to the head of Wild Rye. The road will run for a distance of 100 miles through one of the finest timber belts on the Pacific Slope, and supply Central Arizona with umher for al purposes at great- ly reduced prices. IL will also bring 10 our doors an abundant supply ot coal from the mines at Gallup, N. M. Globe will begin to be benefited when the Mineral Belt R, R. reaches the head of Wild Rye, as there is a good wagon road from that point to Globe, and supplies of all kinds can be laid down here much cheaper than by the Southern Pacific route, on ac. count of the shorter hauls by iail and wagon. There Is every reason 10 be- lievc that another year will witness the commencement of a substantial growth and improvement in our to VII. Silver Belt.

A Vermont Bridegroom.

The story about the Vermonter who proposed to add half dollar to the amount which the Claw allowed" the parson for marrying him, has brought to the historian a brand new story ot another wedding fee transaction in Vermont. It IS from a glen village away back from the Connecticut, in the hills, where money is scarce and the ways are primitive, and the peo- pie frequently prefer 10 pay for their purchases in kind. One day a young couple came to the parson at the vll- lage to be married. They hadn't d cent of money, and 1t had been ar ranged that the bridegroom shou!d bring specified quantity of bees-wax with which to pay the minister. The parson was thrifty-they have to be thrifty up that way--and took good care. before he performed the cere- mony, to weigh out the bees-wsx and see whether there was enough to pay his fee. There wasn't.
 "Why haven't you brought all the bees-wax you agreed tof" asked the minister.
 "All had, parson."
 "And you haven't got any more1"
 Mot another ounce"
 "Have you got any money at allS"
 "Not mite, parson."
 There was period of uncomforta- ble silence, during which the young farmer began to grow very much alarmed. He was afraid the parson wouldn't marry him unless he pro- duCed his uttermost ounce of bees wax, and the prospect struck terror to his soul. The parson was inclined to lei hm "stew. "
 Look a-here, parsonl' said the countryman finally, "I tell ye what ye do; you take the bees wax and marry n as fur as IL goes! "-Boston Rec Syd.

Hot Trails.

New Mexico and Arizona are run ming over with molten trails and dead men. For months the troops have been only few hours behind the hos tiles, and find no difficulty in remain ing there. Upon the ragged edge Of dispair from time immemorial we are tossed the we'll polished bone of solace that the approaching rains will melt the mocassin of the Apache and that he will be caught, We want no proof that a wet mocassin becomes useless rag, but 1t will require more than Herculean logic to convince us that the Apaches will be caught by the troops, though we freely admit the probable capture of the warllke relic itself being inanimate the pedal en- closure may find difficulty in escape. Far beyond the intense heat of the trail the Indian rests tranquilly on a bed of scalps, his feet encased in gov ernment boots that do not melt, with in his hand the latest make of field glasses. stoically gazing at the beauties of nature, with an occasional glance at the enemy observing. the usual dis tance. Yes, the trails are hot, so would you be if so long sat upon. Military discipline is necessary. It is positively essential in civilized war fare. Don't work, however, Tn hunt ing Indians. The Apache knows no bugle sound; he loses no precious mo- ments Tn salutes, he "carries arms to suit himself and shoots at will. He dimes in the saddle, if necessary, while travelling at the rate of twelve miles an hour. He pops the pale face hrst and later in the year receives per mission 10 exercise the same good judgment. The Apache has a charm ed life. Hunted since childhood by a powerful and indignant government he has never been injured. At times he voluntarily becomes prisoner to satisfy few wants, or as motive Of sympathy for the pale faced warrior, lest his long absence tend to dim the soldiers recollection of himself and obliterate the motives of the war. The Apache listens not to the martial strains; he has no use for "wind jam mers"; he mounts no guard, on the contrary, he dismounts them, secur- ing their availables. "Taps" at even tide effect him not. He extinguishes his light at pleasure-yours too. The gun he fires at sundown hurts some body. He calls no roll, not necess. ary. He is good risk in any insur- ance company if the government will guarantee the premiums. It has been said as a solution to this perplexlng question that a choice selection of the most business like Apaches, turned loose in the halls of Congress with in . structions to operate would go far to- wards bringing this question promi- nently before the members; besides coat tails as card tables would be numerous and cheap. We cannot hurrah for the Apache. He is no friend of ours. We drop a tear for our slaughtered kinsman. The army as "under dog" has our sympathy. Who mourns for the government? Not one.-By Ramrod in Marta New Era.

MAKING A SALE.
How . Dakota Man Deceived an Honest
 Citizen About . Horse.

Citizen About Horse.
 A man was driving across the coun- try in Dakota when he came to house with a man hobbling around in the yard on a crutch. A fne-looking horse was tied to post near and the traveller stopped and said;
 "Is that horse for salef"
 "Well, now, I'll tell you jest how 'tis'bo that air hoss; you see it's the one my wife drives, and l don't know as she'd want to part with it. It's a very gentle hoss, very gentle"
 "That's what want, horse that is gentle and kind"
 "That jest hits that horse precisely, pardner, no easier horse to handle in the country"
 "Never kicks, suppose?"
 "Never knew him ter histe his feet Cept ter Wdlk'
 "What Is it worth?"
 "That's jest it-don't b'lieve l can sell him-my wife would miss him SO, Tell you what I I'll, do though; you give me SIS fer that hoss, and I'll try and break in one of the colts fer her to drive. Don't b'lieve l can ever get 'em as gentle as he is; but seein' you want him, I'll let you have him for that.
 "Well, I'll take it. What makes you so lamef"
 "Oh, rheumatic got holt uv me agin-je;t bout used me up. I'll tie the hoss behind the wagon for you. IAN right. Your barn seems to Le scatteaed around somewhat. Cy- clone strike it?"
 "Well, now, l should say there did -regl lar twister uv a tornado jest spread it all round. There you'll find that hossll lead up all right and be jest as gentle as kitten. Good day stranger, very got a mighty fine barg'in there; that hoss is sound and wouldn't hurt fly"
 The man drove off and a boy crawled out from under the house and said:
 "Dad, it's a mighty good thing that old Bill stopped kicking fore he come 'long."
 .'You bet 1t was, my son. He had jest sent the last board of the barn flyn' over in the garden and the dust was a settlin' when the feller drove up. l guess he busted two uv my ribs and put my leg sorter out uv j'lnt the first kick he made, but I reckon SITS will fix 'em up. l wus afraid he'd back up and begin on the barb-wire while the man was here, but he didn't happen to. Bout the time he planted his off foot in my ribs I'd took 90 cents fer him, but s'pose it's jest as we'll to get fair price. Always re- member, my son, in future life eff ye're sellin' yer wife's favorite buggy horse jest own right up to it and put on a good price to soothe your wounded feelin's at seein' it go. Never forget that .the straight truth is the best in a time like this"

THE FouR-LEAvEo GLOVER.

By E1IzABErH,y. HYATT.
1862
Deep In the grass maiden knelt,
Turning the green blades over,
With fluttering heart and anxious eye,
Hunting four-leaVed clover.
No treasure rare Of jewel or gem
Seemed half so fair to her vision =
As that slender wand Of palest green,
Prophetic of lands elysian.
With joyful cry she held the prize,
ooh darling four-leaved clover
Wilt bring my lover back to me,
When this cruel war is overf
wilt thou give him sword, and shoulder
straps
Honor, and fame oh, clover,
Giyetriches, and health, and bring him back
When this cruel war is over u
A faded woman with streaks OF gray Il
Her scanty brown locks threading,
In sorrow and loneliness took the way
Which many feet were treading.
To honor the brave and noble dead p
With chaplet and wreath and emblem,
With roses, and daisies, and yiolets fair,
And lily-bells nodaing aud trembling
In narrow grave, flag at his head
Meath simple stone she found him,
No honors, no fame, no riches were there,
No tokens of rank around him.
No, none Of the gifts she had asked that morl
OF the treacheIsus four-leayed clover
Had come to th~ man who lay at her feet,
Her youthful and beautiful lover.
\
No cross, no crown, no wreath of bay,
Did she place on the grave of her lover,
But tied with ribbon of blue and gray
bunch of four-leayed clover
