Granada during the hot weather was
very delightful indeed. Everybody knows
the delights of the Alhambra, and, as the
best part of the town stands high, it was
comparatively cool. We had rooms in
one of its towers, bringing couple of
our own servants with us, and when we
did not feel inclined to have cooking done
at home, could go to the hotels close by,
which were always crowded at that sea.
son and very amusing by reason of the
mixture of nationalities to be met there.
In this enchanted city, dirty though it be.
you might persuade yourself easily
enough that YOU had left behind the hustle
and toll and confusion Of the present;
time moves so gently that q hundred years
more or less does not seem to matter
much-there is quiet retrospective air
about things which is eninently soothing,
and ON the breezy heights of the Alham-
bra the noise and jar of cities appear as
far off as if they belong to another world.
Everything is full of an ineifable sense of
repose, of peace, of long unbroken
silences, save when the irrepressible tour
list breaks in upon you unobserved and
disturbs your sense of the fitness of
things.
AS you stand at your window al night
fall you may hear the nightingales sing
ing in the elms beneath, and as you wake
next morning and see Granada dimly
shining in the golden mist of dawn far
below, the white, snowy crest of the
Sierra Nevada in the distance and the
nearer hills, all blue and purple as
background to the fairy palace at whose
gates you dwell, you may well feel that
you have rarely looked on fairer scene,
or at all events Que more full of deep and
abiding interest.-Cor. San Francisco
Chronicle,

My companion was telling me how he had
Just dropped letter from his pocket, how a
messenger boy had found it and how he had
rewarded the boy. Just then tie door opened
and that messenger boy entered. He was
about the size of giant fire cracker and he
wau just as fun Of powder. He walked
straight up to where that official sat, and
pulling q silver quarter from his pocket
threw it on the gentleman's lap and said;
"If you can't afford to give any more than
that you can't afford to give anything. l
can better afford to loso it than you"
Then pulling q cigar from his pocket and
handing it to the astonished official he added:
"Here, you may smoke with me, too"
Then he grinned u wicked grin and stalked
out of the room To say that ordinarily
good natured official was nonplused would
be putting it mildly. His crown was car
mine tinted, his eyes were green, and he
added, "Well, III be - - blowed. -

A Gang OF Greeks.

1t was pleasant to look ct tho gang Of
Greek immigrants that had been brought
TO Castle Garden by q steamship from
one of the Mediterranean ports. They
had come from the vicinity of ancient
Athens to try their fortunes in New
York. 1t was evident to any one who
looked at their garb as they set foot upon
our shores and meandered through Bat
terry park that they were very poor peo-
pie, whose lives had been very hard, but
you could not find on this globe finer
specimens of any race Of mankind.
They would have made models for e

an antique mold, worthy of the time OF

The mayors court was lively this

but the evidence was against him
and he was assessed a V.
Roland Runnels and George Simcox
pleaded guilty to engaging in q fight
with each other and were taxed S.
each.
IT. Brady. not the distinguished
non-partisan of Houston, was charged
with being drunk, and he too con-
tribnted s. to the city's exchequer.
Charlie Faust for the same offense
was taxed So.
Shade Shields pleaded guilty
through Marshal Neil, as proxy, to
committing an assault upon Scion
Peevey, and So of his salary went into
the city cash box. Shields is one OF
the giants who attract the curious to
one of Barnum's sideshows. Last
night Mr.. Peevey, who Is a deputy
sheriff from the lower portion of the
county, was inspecting the curiosi-
ties in the tent i'm which Shields is
on exhibition, and someway became
embroiled in a heated discussion with
some of them. According to the
statement of witnesses, Peevey struck
the armless man with his six.

sentiment of the giant Shields, who
proceeded to give Mr.. Peevey prac-
tical exhibition of his muscle.

The Tyrant ThrottIed at Last.

Awhile ago tie Iowa people got the idea
they would throw OIL tho crushing weight
Of railroad monopoly. and the enacted
laws aud enforced them in way to make
the wicked railroad tyrants understand
they couldn' tyrannize In Iowa.
1t didn't take long for the hated tyYants
to take the hint. Having been told by the
legislature and the courts and the news
papers that they weren't wanted. they havs(
got out of the. way as quickly and com-'
pletely rs possible. Those who had any Of
the tyrannical securities sold them out at
any price they cDuid get, and further
schemes Of despOtic extensions had no
chance whstever.
Last year not one mile Of railroad was
bulit in Iowa. Ths railroad interests OF
that great state are p-ostrate. The tyrsnt
IL dead; tho mUnster monopoly groans
under the heel OF virtuous people.
And yet they are not happy. They have
ruined the railroads and paralyzed their
further developement, and still. strange to
relate, they are not rioling IN excess OF
wealth and prosperity. What a riddle this
must be to the horny handed granger

NEW RECRUIT.
The Brindie Cow That Would Not He
Harnessed.

Harnessed.
One conld scarcely expect COW, not
trained to the profession of arms, to con-
duct herself with great self possession as
one of an army. In the ''StOry Of Boy
Company" is to be found an anecdote con-
cerning one such recruit-a COW which,
with several hens and rooster, were at
tached to confederate battery. As soon
as a halt was made for the night the fowls
were taken from the wagon where they
rode, the rooster was tied to q wheel spoke
by the leg, and his family always re-
mained near him.
As the war progressed, and the horses
grew poor, the COW was brought into use
as O beast of burden. She was saddled,
dishes. frying pans and coffee-pots were
hung upon the saddle, and the docile
creature move d away, quite oOlivious TO
the clatter on her back. She was usually
tied TO y caisson. but was often turned
loose, and thus followed the battery, like
an enlisted soldier.
During the last winter of the war. a
large, raw w-boned. brindle COW strayed into
camp, and although ut first wild. she isQk&u
f,lowed the example Of the veteran &s
became an orderly recruit.
One day, when sudden start had been
ordered, 1t was thought advisable to util-
ize the new COW as porter A little fell
low named Carlton WAS ordered to saddle
the cows. The old one was quickly loaded
with the captain 8 baggage. recently
killed chickens and other rations, and
Carlton then proceeded TO put the coffee
pot. skillet and other cooking utensils
upon the brindle. He was obliged to
make her fast to a piue tree in order to
load her rapidly.
Everything was ready, the battery was
about to move, and the captain directed
Carlton to let 20 the ropes. and make the
brindle follow in the wake of the old COW
who had just taken the line Of march in
good order. But no sooner had the ropes
slipped from brinde's horns than, with
heels and rail high in the air, she sped
down the hill, the sound OF her believing
mingling with the clatter of tin, and
forming brass tenor seldom heard.
After freeing herself of every vestiRe of
her pack she slowly retured. seeking her
companion. The scattered load was COL
lected and placed again upon her back.
but as soon as she was free, with bound
and below, she fled down the hill, this
