Water Privileges.

1t will be noticed in another por-
ton of the paper that one Of our land
agents has sold more land during the
past month than any other month OF
the year. This statement has great
deal of Significance in many way.
The land has been bought principally
by cattle companies and COW men In
dividually in order to gain legal pos
session of the water frontage, which
can be dsne only by buying the adj
joining land. of course. One company
during the past week has completed
the purchase of 1000 acres Of land on
the north side of the river simply for
this purpose. Hitherto it has been
the custom for cattle men, in great
degree, to select range, pick spot
for their dwellings, ETC., and then to
hold the land against all corners, being
satisfied that no one is liable to desire
Il. Now this will all have to be
changed. Many cattle will be driven
into this country next year and u
range Is the first thing necessary TO be
obtained for those cattle, and the
most requisit point to be observed In
the selection OF a range is the water
supply. At present it seems that this
land 10 very much in demand and IL
10 almost settled fact that those who
wish to hold an undisputed right to
their water front for the future must

right toit. Many men have already
seen the force Of doing this and those
who do not will probably have some
trouble In holding the privileges
which have hitherto been afforded
them. This is one of the necessary
things 10 attend 10 In country where
range Is II likely to become short In the
near future. It has been exemplified
In every country In the United States
which has been used for the purpose
of raising cat tie, and it is only matte

We speak of the man as paralyzed
with fear. There is literal truth in
this. The eject is due to the influence
OF the emotion on some one of the cere-
bral centers-the ganglia, or nerve
masses, near the base of the brain,
which govern the action of the various
vital organs. This influence is, for the
time, of a paraly ing nature.
Hence the capillary blood vessels near
the surface are collapsed, and the blood
is driven back on the heart, burdening
both it and the lungs; while the secre.
ton OF the gastric uice is arrested by a
paralysis OF the great nerve-the pneu.

with its working force. such case is

informed that II would have to go

removal without resistance. Seeing
that there was no escape and that the
knight of the razor WAS in league with

few silent but bitter tears of regret,
consented to put the moustsche up at
public vendue. The bidding was
spirited, commencing at nickle, and
gradually rising until n dollar and a

so long that it became evident to the
seller that the full value had been

that he had been ravished of that

in the shop commenced to clsmor for

FANCY SHOOTING on THE STAGE.

Tricks Of Phenomenal Mark saarshiv-
EasiI, Done When You Know How.
rCinc'rn.ri t'cmmercls
A no,ed professional shot, who, with
his wife travelled with w.id vest show,
thus explained to party of &C uaint-
ances how the fancy rifles hooting is
done on the stage.
ne of the oldest is the bell trick.
This is done by having target placed
on the stage with a very small uarter-
inch hole as center, through which the
marAsman is supposed to put his bullet
Surrounding this is a piece of black
cloth, and back of the cloth saw plate
IL the marksman hits within eight or
twelve inches of the center, the bell, or
rather the plate, which is set loosely,
will ring, and the audience will natur.
ally suppose the bullet or bullets pene-
trated the bull's-eye. Ibis explains
how stage shots placed from twenty to
twenty-five shots in the bull s.eye d in
so many seconds.
The next trick is the match trick.
This is done by placing number of
parlor matches in circle, with the
heads OF the same pointing in wardly. I
the marksman hits, or rather puts his
bullet, which is not difficult to do, any
place in the circle he must light one of
the matches, and thus lighting the
circle. This trick is always done at the
back of the stage. and the audience can
not see any of the matches. and sup.
pose, naturally, it is but single match.
Another is to fasten single match on
an iron plate, and if the marksman
shoots any reasonable distance near it,
it will light from the splash o. the lead
on the solid plate.
In the cigar trick, the marksman is
supposed to shoot the ashes a cigar
held in the mouth of an assistant This
trick is generally bona fide one, but
can be done by having a wire run
through the cigar to the ashes. and at
the report OF the gun have the assistant
touch the wire with his tongue, and so
knock the ashes off. shooting silver
dime from the mouth, and betw the
teeth, of an assistant is done by having
one marked with a bullet, and showing
one not marked to the au iience the
assistant changes at the report of the
gun and splits out the marked one and
shows it to the audience.
The thimble trick is done by placing
thilble on the assistant head with
thin string attached, and at the report
of tho gun il is pulled of by another
assistant behind the scenes. shooting
through the ring of a watch is done by
shooting over the ring, and then. before
showing to the audience, placing the
ring of the watch over the hole made,
and on a nail placed there beforehand
,nuihng the candle, which looks SO
difficult, is done by having the candle
close to solid block Of wood. The
conclusion of the bullet puts out the
light, although the bullet hits within
three inches of the candle proper In,
professional gave an exhibition at on,
time in a Pennsylvania town where tn,
authorities strictly forbade the firing O
solid bullets, and gave as good satisfac

In the tempestuous times of Governor

boundary between that colony and New

ANDREW JOHNSoN's BEGINNING.-Whe
Andrew Johnson reached GreeaVille he
hardly knew what to do. He went to
tailor shop and asked for work, having
some knowledge of the trade: but the tailor
needed no assistance, and Johnson turned
his attention elsewhere. he WAS not boy
with much assurance, and was, in fact,
rather beshful, so he stood around good
deal, hoping for something to turn up. at
last the tailor took pity on the fEiendless
boy, and seeing him standing opposite his
store one day with look Of discourageuent
on his face, he went 10 him and asked hlr:
to come over to the shop and he would try
to help him. Johnson quickly accepted tic
offer and went to work. Opposite the shop
where Johnson worked live az Irishwoman
with three daughters. This woman was q
shoemaker, having learned the trade from
her husband and continued tc work at il
after his death in order to support and edu.
cate her three children. Johnson became
acquainted with the family and married one
of the girls, who, though possessing but &
limited education, was fully capable Of il
structing her husband, which she did, teach,
ing him to read, write and cipher. While
giving her lessons, her husband would sit
cross.legged and work at his trade.-Boston
