Self-Purifying Power Of Flown:
Water.

Some time ago experiments were
made to ascertain the proportion OF
oxygen in the River Thames, at low
water. It being found that as it run
through London the quantity OF oxy-
gen diminishes, as compared with the
proportion it contains at Richmond,
about twelve or thirteen tons of oxy-
gen being lost between Richmond bridge
and the Somerset House. Recent
tests of the Thames water show that
near the sewage outfall it contains
but about half 8 cubic inch of oxygen
per gallon, as above the city; but low
er down the proportion of oxygen ris-
es again until the water is within 10
per cent. Of its richness in oxygen at
Richmond Thus the considerable
power which flowing water possesses
of keeping itself sweet and clean is re-
garded as positively proved-though
the power, great as it is, may be and
often is overtaxed when the organic
matter is non-living AS to whether
it has the power of destroying those
minute living Organisms which are the
ger ms of certain diseases, different
opinions exist among scientists.

ears. The most frequent call was cal
limand" which translated, means all
men to the left. Swing pards, was
another frequent injunction, and the
boys did it with a will, fairly tax
ing the girls off their feet! AS little
outside refreshment the boys had six
bottles of Nixon's fire water out in the
barn.
AS the dance proceeded, and the
boys got warmed up by dancing and
whisky, the fun grew fast and furi-
Gus. Soon they could not go with
out their r'chaw." After supper, at
midnight, saw the four men in the
set squirting streams Of tobacco juice
right and left just as it happened,
and laying down to their sport with
infinite gusto. I danced four times,
once each with a Texas. widow, g.
Cherokee half-breed, and a girl who
herds bucks, and once with an Irish
rustler, "fair, fat and forty" and I
might add of the symmetrical pro-
portions of a hogshead We were
furnished three good meals; supper
when we arrived; supper again at mid
night, and a hot breakfast in the
morning.
At daylight, after eating heartily,
the boys mounted their horses and
rode home, distance varying from Is
to 40 miles. all declaring that they
had chad a hell-roaring good time"

NONE WILL MISS THEE.

Few will miss thee, friend, when thou
For a month in dust hath lain.
Skillful hand, and anxious brow,
Tongue OF wisdom, busy brain
All thou vert shall be forgot,
And thy place shall know thee not.
Shadows from the bending trees
Ger thy lowly head may pass,
Signs from every wandering breeze
Stir the long, thick churchyard grass.
Wilt thou heed them? No; thy sleep
Shall be dreamles calm, and deep.
Some sweet bird may sit and sing
On the marble OF thy tomb,
Soon to fit on joyous wing
From that place OF death and gloom,
On some bough to warble clear;
But these songs thou shalt not hear.
Some kind voice may sing thy praise,
Passing near thy place of rest,
Fondly talk of other days;
But no throb within thy breast
Shall respond to words of praise,
Or old thoughts of other days.
Since so feeting is thy name,
Talent, beauty, power and wit,
It were well that without shame
Thou in Gods great book vert wri :,
There in golden words to be
Craven for eternity.

What Becomes of the Pins?

NASSS
A London journal recently offered
prize OF. e2 2s for a reasonable solu-
tion of ''What becomes OF the pins?"
The following reply captured the du,
cats:
A surface ten miles square contains
10000, 900 square yards. Assume
this as the area of London. To in
clude the area of floor surface in
houses. it may safely be trebled-say
900, 900, 600 squarey ards. lfevery
five square yards contained one stray
pin, who would be aware oft? Here,
then, we have in London alone a. re-
ceptacle for 20o,OOO,0Oo of stray
pins unperceived by anybody. The
answer, therefore, is that thousands
OF millions Of lost pins can be, and are,
scattered about the land unn oticed.
Half OF these being out of doors, are
gradually destroyed by rust; the 9TH
er half pass out Of doors by degrees"

A Cowboy Dance.

promised to tell you something IS
the social event OF the season, a cow
boy dance, which took place the 25th
of last month on Shipman's S ranch on
the Mlzpah. 1t was the first Monta-
ma dance ever attended, and it prov
ed as good as a play. Nineteen COW
boys assembled to participate in the
,estlvities, and nineteen numbers were
sold for $3.50 each, this being thesum
necessary to defray expenses. Each
received as he paid his share num-
bered ticket, and when that number
was called by the master OF ceremo.
MES, he was expected to get partner
and dance. The available females
were seven, five single and two mar
ried. The dancing commenced at 6
o'clock in the evening and was kept
up without a moments respite un-
till seven o'clock the next morn
ing. One set only could dance at a
time, but the seven females were kept
on their feet about all night, as they
were obliged to keep the nineteen
males constantly supplied with part
ners from their number. They were
- ''danced plenty l assure you, though
they did not seem to mind, but rather
expected and enjoyed it. There were
three musicians, or as one cowboy
told me on my way down, "There is
to be one violin and two fddles."
However, only one fiddler played at
a time while the other two rested. On
account Of the excess of the masculine
sex, aud from the fact that but one
set could dance at a time did not
dance more than once an hour, though
the manager called my name with i'm
partiality ,and | took my place on the
floor as regularly as it was called out.
For this, however, I was not sorry, as
it gave me chance to look on, and
looking on was more entertaining
than the dancing The modus
cperandi of securing partner was
something as follows: A cowboy walk
ed up to a girl and said briefly "let's
dance and without further ado took
his place in the set, hands in his pock-
cts, leaving the girl to follow him.
Then the fiddler struck out and the
prompter called the changes singing a
ditty containing his directions, in tune
with the melody that the fiddler was
grinding out. When the tune and dit
ty were familiar, all hands joined in.
A great many of the changes and
terms were strange to my eastern

Wild Bill Hickok's Romance.

From the Chicago News.
"About a year before he died I met
wild Bill Hickok on train on this
road" said Luther Latin Mills, as
we were borne southwark over the
Chicago and Alton road one after
noon recently. "Of course talked to
him about himself I asked him how
many men he had killed. He replied
that he had killed thirty two in 'pri-
vate fights, and he didn't know how
many he had killed in the war OF the
rebellion and in frontier skirmishes.
l asked him if he had ever visited CHI
cago. He said he had, few years be-
fore our meeting, and then he told me
the one gentle romance OF his life.
"Gen. Phil Sheridan and party had
engaged Bill as q guide on buffalo
hunting expedition. Sheridan took a.
liking to Bill and insisted upon his re-
turning to Chicago with him and MAX
ing visit. Bill came, and renamed
for some time at Sheridan's house.
"The first Sunday after I got to CHI
cago,' said Bill, Sheridan said to ne
that he was going to church and
would like to have me 60 along. I
hadn't been. to church for twenty
years, but Ed just as lief go. So we
went to Plymouth Church, down on
Wabash or Michigan avenue. The
Teller at the door knew Sheridan, and
he took us away up in front, near the
preacher. About the time the sermon
began an old, white-haired man and
young woman came into the paw in
front of us. could see only the side of
the woman's face. but Ifelt sure knew
her. Well, when we all got up to re-
ceive the benediction I saw the young
woman's face, and my heart come
right up into my neck, for knew her.
There was the only woman I lever loved,
and had loved her ever since was q
boy, down in La Sale county. She
was Maria Baldwin, and the old man
with her was her father, Herman
Baldwin. won't tell you why
didn't marry her, but my love for her
was one of the reasons why | went
out west.
when [ saw her face and knew
who she was | just bolted down the
aisle and out OF the church, and stood
at the door, waiting for her. When
she came out I went up to her and
said: "Maria, do you know me?" She
looked at me a minute and SAID:
"'" "No sir; I do not"
"t "Well," said I, kind a. bracing
up, II am Willie Kickok"
"Well, you should a seen her. The
tears came in her eyes, and she took
my hand in hers and held it. Then
both OF them insisted on my going to
dinner with them. We talked all after
noon and away into the night about
old times in La Sale county, and
tell you it was the happiest day of my
life. But could't stand it to stay in
Chicago any longer, and started for
the west next day."
II was much interested in this
story" resumed Mr.. Mills, s'tor knew
Mr.. Baldwin, and I felt more kindly
toward Wild Bill 1 asked him il he
expected to ret urn to the west after
his visit to Chicago. He said he did,
and that when he left me he would bid
me goodbye forever. He had great
many desperate enemies, and from his
calculation of the law Of chances he
could not live more than a year Sure
enough, within ten months OF the time
| met him on the train he was shot
in the back and killed in saloon out
west. y
