Making a Quick Run.

A big steamer came into this port the
other day, having made an amazing quick
run for her last day out. One of the officers
In speaking Of the trip, said: "When we took
our pilot aboard, 400 miles off shore, we had
just time to get up to the harbor within the
doctors hours by running our very best II
we missed the doctor we would have to lie
below the city all night, with nearly 1,O0C
passengers on board We determined to
make the run. The whole force of stokers
was put to passing coal from hand to
hand, and every lump was brushed
free from dust before it went into
the furnaces. By doing this we made
certain that the coal would take fire at
once and that the furnaces would not be
loaded with clinkers. The men worked like
steam engines, with the promise of an extra
allowance for each, and we reeled that 400
miles off like dream. We caught the doc
tor in time and got our passengers ashore
before night. The company was several
hundred dollars in pocket by its saving on
their keep for twelve hours, everybody was
pleased, and the old ship got feather In her
cap for having shown the cleanest pair of
heels she had ever shown since she was built.
1t was an exciting run, but it would have
been more exciting for any vessel to have
got in our way. Going as we did, we could
have sliced full rugged ship in half like a
knife cutting through new cheese. ALFRED
Trumble in New York News.

Some little time ago you induced some &C
tors and actresses to make some touching
condolences about the superstitions that
swayed them. That such an emotional being
as an Ellen Terry should sometimes be
governed by omens, might be expected, but
who would have thought that the Napoleon
Of finance, Jay Gould, would give way to
such ridiculous fads? 1t is said that if YOU
watch him as he starts to go up or down
stairs of the elevated station you will in
variably see him place his left foot on the
first step, even if he has to get out of step to
do it. il by accident or through absent
mindedness Mr.. Gould should start off with
his right foot, he is certain to recollect it
before reaching the top of the stairs, and he
never fails to return and start over again.
Another reported popularity of the wizard
Is his distaste to blonde men. His children
are all of dusky hue, and his wife is as
dark as any of them. All the clerks in Mr..
Goulds office, and there are dozen of them,
are of dark complexion. Most of them
have jet black mustaches and long hair, and
. the office might be taken for little section
of Mexico. There is not light featured
clerk in Mr.. Gould's immediate employ, and
his friends say that be does not care to do
business with men who have yellow mus
taches or very light hair.-Pall Mall Budget

A Crippled Newsbox,s Music.

The tall building of the Newsboys' home
formed the background, and beneath its
friendly walls sat a little cripple. His
crutches were discarded for the moment, as
he sat at rest. Around were the busy
trucks, the hurrying men and all the buzz
and hum of city life. In the distance the
elevated cars rumbled and ratified, and the
very air seemed filed with an endless din
and noise-but the boy sat. unconscious of it
all. In his hands was piece of rubber hose
and he held one end of it to his mouth. Nc
found from it was apparent, except to him
self, but his preoccupied manner and perserv-
erance proved that it was a source of amuse-
ment. His cheeks were inflated and his
fingers danced up and down the solid piece
of hose, as if he were musician and the
whole world listened to the melody which he
made. But nothing reached the ear of any
except the player, still he kept on untired
-unwearied-lost in self.-New York Even

miseries of Ainu Sleeping Quarters.

Passing alongt the north wall of the house,
we came to the sleeping box. as I must call
1t, for it cannot be designated room. It
was tucked well under the caves, was about
ten feet long by eight wide, and raised eight
cen inches above the floor of the house. One
end of it formed the side of the curio corner.
On the floor was spread piece of mating,
and the futons, or heavily wadded cotton
quilts, on which and under which the family
sleep at night, were neatly folded and laid
in pile on one side; the pillows in this
house were of the Japanese pattern, little
stands that support the neck, and which
look to be wretchedly uncomfortable, but
which are not SO very bad when one gets ac-
customed to them. At night, or whenever
any one is sleeping, a mat curtain is hung
up in front of the sleeping quarters, thus
sealing up the inmates almost Theoretically.
cannot imagine any greater misery than
to be Ecompelled to be one of half dozen
to occupy that miserable little box at night,
deprived of all fresh air save the little that
might strain through the reeds of the house

air from the interior of the house itself, that

How DIR. Beard Approached Dissolution.
Dying Like Scientist.
DIR. Beard approached dissolution as
scientist. Like Mr. Palmer, he was an agnos-
tic who neither denied nor affirmed the pos
sibility of those things which to sacred men
are deemed certainties DR.. Beard, though
an alienist who made great reputation in the
treatment of nervous and mental diseases OF
others, carried his own nerves on his cutlcle.
He was high strung, capable Of periods OF
great mental exhilaration and a man OF su-
preme intellectual courage. When it was
perilous, even physically perilous, for any
body to doubt the sanity of Guiteau, Beard,
utterly careless Of the threatened loss OF his
practice and even his life, gave to the wretch
q most exhaustive examination, both before
and behind the prison bars, and he staked
his reputation on the assertion that the poor
wretch was the victim of irresponsible delu-
sion that would make his hanging judicial
murder, and he did not finch in asserting
this then most obnoxious opinion
Only few months later Beard laid down
upon his bed in an uptown hotel to die.
Pneumonia had fastened upon his delicate
lungs, and he knew that his illness was NOR
tai. Did he then bewail his fate cut off in
his prime, and when his life plans were far
reaching, and aimed for the benefit of man
kinda Instead, he dictated to his wife his
experiences as a sufferer. He jotted down
with feeble hand what Beard intellectual
made of Beard moribund, and when his
breath came fast and short and with the
agony of pain from each inhalation he still
made effort to preserve his experience with
the hope that physicians might thereby learn

THE only individual in this town
impervious to this marrow-freezing
weather is Bishop o. Landrith. While
everybody else goes aronnd with
heavy, cold-proof overcoat on, and
muchly bundled up generally, the
Bishop doesn't cIothe his manly form
with an undercoat, even, but merrily
monkeys around coatless, and as hap
py and comfortable as genuine, true
Christian, warmed by a glowing dis
pensation of divine grace. The Bish.
is philosopher, and says coats are
what breed these prolific crops of
cold and catarrh, and that wearing
them is only habit anyway, and a
very damaging one, at that, to health
and happiness. Bish. has outdone
Prof. VIM. Hooton and Col. George
Bennett. Yesterday morning was
too much for them, and they donned
coats. We move that the Bishop be
fined for contempt of cold, or be sent
to the capital to run with Jack Eli
oft, whom the Democrat has said was
never known to be guilty of donning
a coat in clear weather, no matter
what the degree of cold.

Boise City, Jan. 10, 1888.
An extraordinary occasion having
arisen wherein the integrity OF Idaho
as Territory is seriously endangered
through the plots, schemes and mach
nations Of time serving and selfish
political tricksters, whose sole object
is to advance their political aspira-
tions at the expense OF our territory
by robbing us of a large portion OF
our domain, of our population and Of
our wealth, in order to secure the ad
mission of Washington Territory as a
state and infuse little of our healthy
blood into the decaying carcass of
the rotten borough State of Nevada
SO as to prolong its existence, I, as
Chairman of the Democratic Terrific
rial Central Committee of Idaho Ter
ritory, do hereby call special meet
ing of the said committee, to be
holden at Boise City on the 25th
