expects his family out about the list of
August. Most of the houses here are built Of
pine logs. They are fre-killed, light to han
die and the straightest timber | ever saw. The
timber was fired by the Ute Indians when they
left, to drive the game from the whites, but they
did not succeed. There are some fine places
here, and where the land can be irrigated il
is very profitable.
Little or no farming is done here, save a
few vegetables. Can't raise corn or tomatoes,
as the season is short and the nights cold
Probably wheat can be raised here and some
persons intend to try it. All kinds Of grass
grow well and hay is the main crop. l have
not seen red clover or timothy, but white
clover is abundant. The grass is so nutri-
tious that the ranch men never feed grain to
their horses and cattle, but turn them out and
they keep fat. Hogs also fatten on the hay,
l am told. Stock cattle are seldom kept on
the ranches but are turned out on the ranges,
where the grass is abundant enough for ten
times the number. The cowboys look after
the cattle now and then. Every stock man
has his own peculiar brand put on his cattle
before turning them out.
There are very few people about here but
they are coming in rapidly. Girls are scarce
and most of the Ianchmen are bachelors
Ladies are apt to get homesick out here
One man, last year, took up ranch, mar
ried girl and took her in. She stayed all
winter and in the spring combed his head
with a broom stick and left

THE TWO BELLS.

Long years ago, so runs the ancient story,
Two bells were sent from Spain to that far
cline,
New found, beyond the sea, that to God's glory
And in His house together they might chime.
And to this day one bell is safely swinging
Within its sheltering tower, where, clear and
free,
1t hallows each day with its mellow ringing;
The other bell, the mate, was lost at sea.
And when in gentle chimes the bell is pealing,
The people listen, for they say they hear
An echo from the distant ocean stealing
1t is the lost ones answer, faint yet clear.
All love, like those two bells we sailed together,
And you have reached your holy work and rest,
But stormy was the way and rude the weather,
And was lost beneath the waves white crest.
Over my buried heart the waters glisten.
Across my breast the sea weeds wave and Irvine,
Dead is my souls best life. save when l listen,
And hear your spirit calling unto mine.
Then the old longing wakes, start, SILVER,
try to break the bonds which hold me dumb
/ turn, strive with many throb and CULVER,
feebly answer, but cannot come.

Not Conspicuous.

The following interesting conversation &C.
Cured between q Maysville attorney and a
witness in case in which certain tree play
ed prominent part: Lawyer-"Did you
see this tree near the roadside ?" Witness
eyes, sir l saw it plainly" Lawyer-"It
was very conspicuous, then?" Witness
"Well, can't say that, Isaw the tree very
plainly, though" Lawyer-"Well, now I
would like to know why if it was plain it
wasn't conspicuous What is the difference
between plain and conspicuous Answer
that, will you !" swell" replied the witness,
'it is this; l come into this courtroom
and glance over the bar. l see you plainly
among the other lawyers, although you amt
bit conspicuous !"

Tanning Two Humming Birds.
Youths Companion.

Youths Companion.
A young lady, an invalid, residing at San
Rafel, one of the health-resorts of California,
illustrated St. james assertion that everv
kind of birds has been tanned, by tanning two
free, wild hummng.birds.
Her doctor ordered her to recline daily,
during the summer, on rugs spread on the
garden lawn. While taking his agreeable
prescription one day, she noticed that two
humming- birds were inspecting her from a
safe distance,
Their wise little heads. turned to one side,
showed their curiosity, and she, taking ad-
vantage oft, planned for more intimate
acquaintance She plucked afuchsia, attach
ed it TO branch over her head, and filled it
with sweetened water. In few minutes the
two little birds thrust their slender bills down
into the flower, and took long draughts.
The next day she filled fresh fuchsia with
honey. The actions of the birds showed that
they preferred 1t to sweetencd water. In a
few days the birds became so tame and so i'm
patient that they scarcely waited for her to
leave the flowers before thrusting their bills
into the honey.
One day, while she held the flower she was
filling with drops from spoon, the birds
caught the drops as they fell, and then, be-
coming impatient, darted their threadlike
tongues into the contents of the spoon The
two birds were both males, and therefore
fought for possession of the honey-tilled
flower. But they united to keep other hum
ming birds away and when a wasp or bee
came near, it was chased away.
When the beginning of the rainy season
drove the young invalid into the house, she
tried to coax them to the parlor window. at
first, they acted as if they thought there was
some mistake. They would hum about the
window, where she stood with the flower and
the spoonful of honey, or watch her from
neighboring branch, but not a sip would they
take. But at last, one bird, responding to
her call, lowered about her hand, and took
from IL repeatedly drops Of honey.

The Action Of TrOyer.

The word "trover" is an old term, meaning
ITO find" The action was so named because
it was the action originally used to recover
the value of cattle that had strayed from their
owners into the possession of other persons
who found them 1t is now the action that
is brought by the owner of property against
the person who wrongfully possesses it and
refuses to give it up. 1t is ordinarily resort
ed to when the ownership of property is dis
puted. A common case occurs when
debtor has in his possession property belong
ing to another person. The creditor, believ-
ing that it belongs to the debtor, seizes it by
process of law and sells it to pay the debt.
The owners remedy is to bring an action of
trover against the sheriff who acted for the
creditor, and recover the value of the prop
erty and damages for the loss.
If II man sells horse that he has hired
from livery stable, the owner may by this
action, make the buyer pay for the horse.
The holder of property, even if he does not
own it, has right to keep it from all per-
sons except the owner.
A chimney sweep once found valuable
jewel. He showed it TO dealer in such ar
ticles 10 find out what it was worth. The
tradesman, thinking the sweep TO be a thief,
refused to give it back. The chimney-sweep
brought an action of trover, it was decided
tnat tnouSn not Ine owner, he had the best
right to it, and that the jeweler was liable in
damages for not returning it.
This rule does not apply to stolen goods.
A thief cannot bring the action against the
person who deprives him of his booty. The
law will not interfere to protect man in
wrong-doing.
Later cases have decided that the finder of
lost property who gives it to person to
keep till the owner calls for it may bring the
action against the person he gave it to, if the
owner does not call for it. The law gives
the finder the next right to the owner
In some cases the owner is deprived of this
remedy. In England one who holds proper
ty as security for the payment of debt may
lawfully sell it. The seller of pledge is
held to have special property in it,

Carrying Letters in Savage Lands.

Three scientific men, Emin Bey, DR.. Jun.
ker and Signor Casati, have for two years
been virtually prisoners in the depths OF
Africa. Hemmed in on one side by the fol-
lowers of the Mahdi they retreated south
ward until they were stopped by the hostile
blacks not far from the sources of the Nile
There they now are in the Unyoro country
waiting for the succor which two parties sent
out under Drs. Fischer and Lem are trying,
amid great difficulties, To carry to them.
Though cut off from all hope of escape by
their own exertions, they have been able to
send letter to their friends. The fact has
been frequently illustrated within the past
year or TWO that the castaway in foreign
lands can often make his sad plight known
to the friends whom it is utterly impossible
for him to reach except by letter
The messenger who bore the missive OF
these unfortunates to Victoria Nyanza was
probably just like those who until recently
were won't TO travel over the same road from
the Egyptian outposts to the great lake-an
almost naked savage. carrying his letters in
a split stick which he bore high above his
head, when walking through the tall wet
grass. Postmen like this have done a great
deal of letter carrying through African jun
giles, aud they have proved to be faithful and
expeditions.
Six hundred years ago the man who wish
ed to send a message north from the south
end of Cochin China placed it in the hands
of a courier, who was relieved when about
twelve to sixteen miles on his way by a
second courier, and thus the letter was trans
ferred from post to post, the couriers travel
ing at sharp trot, carrying the letter as far
in one day as the ordinary traveller could
journey in three. Exactly the same method
is still employed TO carry the mails over this
route Along the royal road that skirts the
sea from Saigon through AMMAN to Hue the
couriers still hurry at an extraordinary pace
with their mail snugly slowed away in BAN
boo tubes.
The method of carrying the mail in savage
lands is here and there improving. tits now
possible, for instance, a thousand miles up
the Congo river, to at1ix to letter postage
stamp bearing the portrait of the King OF
Belgium and the words Free Congo State, "
put it into civilized mail bag, and send it
on its journey to the sea. This is decided
improvement on the black native with his
split stick

lawyers, after ross-questioning the boy
closely, said, "Your father has been talking
to you, and telling you how to testify, hasn't

Now" said the lawyer, Just tell us how
your father told you to testify"
"Well," said the boy, modestly, "father told
me that the lawyers would try to tangle me
up, but if would just be careful and tell the
truth, could tell the same thing every time. "
The lawyer made no further effort to stan

lature He was an eccentric man. and one
of the best lawyers of his time. He owned
n farm, and did much work ON his land and
when the time came for him to set out for
Boston, his best suit of clothes was suit OF
homespun. His wife objected to his going
in that garb, but he did not care. II will gel
nice fashionable suit made as soon as
reach Boston," he said.
Reaching his destination, Whitman found
rest at Doolttles City Tavern. Let it be
understood that he was a graduate of Har-
ward, and at this tavern he was at home. AS
he entered the parlor of the house he found
several ladies and gentlemen assembled, and
he heard remark from one of them, "Ah
here comes a countryman of the real home
spun genus Here's fun" Whitman stared
at the company, and then sat down.
Say, my friend, you are from the country
remarked one of the gentlemen.
"Ya-as," answered Ezekiel, with ludic-
rous twist of the face.
The ladies Uttered.
And what do you think of our city ?"
tits pooty thick settled place. anyhow
It's got the sweepin' sight of hous'n in it."
And good many people, too"
"Ya.as, should guess So"
MANY people where you come from?"
"Wal, some"
PLENTY of ladies, l suppose?"
"1a-as, fair sprinklin."
"And don't doubt that you are quite a
beau among them"
"Ya-as, beaus EN- home-iew meetin

perhaps the gentleman from the country
will take glass of winep ?"
"Thank-ee. Don't keer if do.
The wine was brought.
you must drink toast"
ooh, git eout! | eat toast-never heard o
SIGH thing as drinkin' it. But kin give ye
sentiment"
The ladies clapped their hands; but what
was their surprise when the stranger, rising
spoke calmly and clearly as follows:
Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to wish
you health and happiness, with every bless
ing earth can afford and may you grow bet
ter and wiser with advancing years, bearing
ever in mind that outward appearances are
often deceitful. You mistook me, from my
dress, for country BOBBY, while /, from the
same superficial cause, thought you were la
dies and gentlemen. The mistake has been
mutual"
He mad just spoken when Caleb Strong
the Governor of the State, entered and in.
quired for Mr.. Whitman.
"Ah, here | am, Governor. Glad to see
you" Then turning to the dumfounded
company:
