A Most unkind Cut.

between McGinnis and his wife's moth
er. 1t came about In this way: Hostel
ter McGinnis is thinking about taking
trip to FL Paso for his nealth. but his
mother-in-law has been telling him that
there is danger OF his being scalped by
Indians, and that he had better stay
right in Austin.
Nonsense, replied Hostetter Nc
Ginnis. ''there used to be Indians on
the Ell Paso road, but they have all been
driven off. don't believe there is an
Indian in the whole country
.'Well, WE'LL" replied his wife's
mother. "when you get out on the
plains, and one of those wild beasts
come at you yelling and whooping,
then you will think of ms"
Il don't doubt it; any thing of that
kind is calculated to make me think OF
you," replied Hostetter McGinnis. and

BELLEVUE La. THURSDAY, MAY "a 1888.

"My good woman. don't let me IN
terrupt You a single moment in your
customary vocations. l have here a
book on Social Etiquette. which shows
one how to behave under all circum.
stances, from the most ordinary every
day life up to the most trying. exacting
and wearying social position you may
ever be called on to fill. You may
think this of little consequence at the
present moment. but suppose your hus-
band should be suddenly elected to
Congress and you be required to con-
sort with the first lady of the land!
But will not talk; will read you a
few extracts, if you'll excuse me-"
An before could say word, or
knew what he was doing, down he sat
square into that pan of tallow.
Jumped towards him. but before
could get there, he'd give one long
scream and rushed out of the house,
drippin' tallow all over the floor and
across my new settin' room rag-carpet.
1t was an awful cold day, and the
minute he got out of doors the tallow
hardened. SO that, as he ran down the
road. he looked for all the world as
as though somebody had drawn map
OF Europe on his reverse, or mebbe it
was an oil painting.
He didn't seem to remember that it
wasn't etiquette to rush from q per-
sons house without saying good by;
but l presume. if he had stopped to
consult his book. he would have done
different.
Any way l couldn't blame him; and
haven't been pestered so much with
agents since.-Helen II. WInslow, in

A discussion has been going on for

vided he hold his breath during the
operation. An English correspondent
is thereby reminded of a curious dis
covery of his boyhood. II was a very
ticklish youngster, and my comrades
sometimes used that weakness for their
own amusement. One boy used to
show me how little effect tickling had
upon him; but one hot summer day, as
he was lying reading, tickled him on
the ribs, and he almost went into con-
vulsions. found that he was far more
sensitive than any boy in the company,
and he revealed his secret to me under
condition of my never telling any one
else. By holding his breath he became
pachydermatous. and would let any,
body tickle him as much as they
pleased; but of course they always gave
it up at once when they saw his stolid
look. ! tried the plan and it worked
admirably; and it is my only protection
even unto this day, for my cuticle is
as sensitive as ever. The deduction is
simple: A man holds his breath and a
wasp-and the stinger is .bluffed.'

logic halts somewhat, but the fact
which he cities is of interest. The

A Wretched Exhibition Of Rushes and
Clinches Without Any Science.


Agood crowd was in attendance at Tur-
ner Hall Sunday evening to see the Stat
tery-Kestler contest. 1t had been well ad-
vertised and q good turnout was the re.
suit. There was Q long wrangle over the
selection of q referee and finally. George
Hopkins was chosen. McGaughan and
O'Brien acted as timekeepers. Scotty and
Lawrence were seconds for George Kestler
and Johnny Charles and Tom Barry sec
onded Jerry Slattery.
Both men wore blue tights. the only
difference being that Slattery wore black
socks. The gloves were the smallest size
allowable. Kestler's broad shoulders
showed up strongly when the men stepped
forward, while Slattery's longer reach and
greater height made the match appear
very unequal. Time was called at o:46,
and from thence on until 11:16 when the
twenty rounds were MP, there was a con-
slant succession OF PUSHES and clinches,
with few blows worthy Of the name. II
was begun by Slattery, who from the first
kept rushing at Kestler. He seemed to ex.
pect to crush Kestler by these rushes but
was received cleveriy with several face
blows at the start, that gave
K estler first blood and made Slattery
little cautious. Kestler was disposed to
fight squarely at first, but was forced in
self-defence to follow the example set by
Slattery in the last rounds rushing 6lattery
the ropes and falling on him. He lost
the use OF his left hand in the eighth round
which made the match still more unequal.
Both men fought in this way-if it can be
called fighting-until the ts entieth round,
was really the twenty-first, was
when the referee pronounced the
q draw.
There was no h~ippodroming; both men
we're in earnest and clinched ~sayagely. The
referee had the greatest trouble in getting
the men to break away n one savage
followed another with just intermis-
ZION enough to call it a break until the call

DEATH FROM APOPLEXY.
A Co1usa Smelter Furnace Man Drops
Dead In the Harness.

A Co1usa Shelter Furnace Man Drops
Dead In the Harness.
Judge Dingevon held al inquest on Sun
day afternoon on the body OF Reese
Thomas, at one time shift boss at the old
works in Meaderville, who dropped dead at
five minutes to 4 that afternoon. Five
minutes before this time his partner, o.
tave Moen, was stirring the fire at the rear
end OF No. Ia calcine furnace at the north
end of the Colusa smelter, when Thomas
came up and asked if he should ara up,
but Moen being busy stirring, and making
no reply, he returned to the front of the
furnace. Moen followed five minutes after
and found him lying on the ground with
his head in the ashpit and his feet extend
ing beyond the side of the furnace. Moen
and another man picked him up. He gave
only one groan and then expired. DIR. Gil
lespie had treated him for some time past,
and learned that he had lately been sub
iect to dizzy spells, on account OF which he
had been compelled to quit work at the
matte furnaces. It was therefore ON
cluded that he died of heart disease OF
apoplexy, and the jury returned a verdict
to this effect. Thomas was Sc years old
at the time of his death.

Sunday Was q Bad Day for Him,

Albert Johnson, a Swede, was arrested by
Deputy Sheriff Kelly at Meaderville on Sun
day. Early in the day he had a dispute
with another Swede when he was drunk,
and the latter put a head on him that had
all the differents styles Of architecture clearly
defined. Not content with this. he began
to raise hades among the villagers, thus
fracturing the harmony of the beautiful,
peaceful Sabbath. A gentleman went
through the village driving with two ladies
in a buggy, and Johnson, besides using indie
cent language in hearing of the occupants of
the buggy, interfered with the young man
driving it. For this Kelly ran him into the
and was fined $40 and trimmings. Deputy
Kelly went with him to see that he rus
tied it.

them were found on his person.
He admitted the crime as be was com.
