Some of the Odd Experiences of MFR. UEzell

In LeadNille in the Early Days.
From thu New York World
Mr.. UzZelN had many amusing Incl
lents marrying people, and as the mar
riage laws were loose but little was re-
luired in the way of questions to make
everything satisfactory. One day
. erman, with rather good-looking
middle-aged woman leaning on his arm,
entered the pr achers study.
Il have just been let out of Jail, said
the man, "and borrowed q saw and buck
and went in search of work. When |
asked this woman here by my side for
Job she said she'had no money to hire
man, being poor widow woman. /
told her | would saw the wood and take
her for pay, and she said: 'All right,
and here we are now to get married.
but | haint no money, parson, to pay
the bill"
Mr.. Uzzell married the couple and
paid the re orders fee out of his own
pocket.
en- another occasion gambler and
sport named Charley Smith and for
tune-teller known as Nine. La Prue,
who had made quite fortune In that
line of business, entered his study to
have the marriage ceremony performed.
After the usual questions had been
satisfactorily answered he requested
them to stand, and then turning to the
woman he said: wilt thou have this
man to be thy lawful and welded hus
band, and wilt thou love, honor and
keep him"
Hold on. parson," exclaimed the
lo
man.
Mr.. Uzzell then explained to her
that it meant that she should love her
husband, take care OF him in sickness,
and gave general explanation of the
marriage VOWS. But she was obdurate
and refused to be married unless the
ceremony was performed alter her own
wishes, which Mr.. UZzell refused to
do
"Parson, you have lost just so by
not marrying me the way L wanted,
exclaimed the woman, as she ordered
her carriage and drove away. The man
was worried, but she was not.
In 1879 Mr.. Uzzell was visited by the
Rev. DIR. Warren, now Bishop Warren,
of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and
Chaplain McCabe. One evening there
was a quick, sharp rap at the door, and
Il moment later & rough looking elbow
entered. "Parson," said the stranger,
I've come to AK you ter marry one
the boys way down thar in a tent. !"
Bishop Warren and Chaplain M 'Cabe
asked to accompany, rs they desired to
see a mining camp wedding, and their
request was granted, They started out
for the tent, the stranger leading the
way. Whel about fifty feet from the
house the venerable mother of the
mountain preacher came to the door
and shouted out:
sob, Tom! You forgot your re-
volver."
Mr.. Uzzell, thinking nothing strange
of the occurrence, returned to his
house for the weapon aud moment
later re,oined his reverend friends
from the East. They were both amazed
at what they had seen and heard, and
one of them exclaimed:
"Why, brother Uzzell do ministers
carry pistols in Leadville?"
ooh, yes" replied Mr.. Uzzell.

The Sense ana Senses OF Animals.

At the Philosophical Institution, Ed
inburgh: Sir John Lubbock delivered
lecture on The Sense and Senses OF
Animals" In the course of his re-
marks the lecturer said that everyone
would gratefully admit that the. dog
was a loyal and true and affectionate
friend. But, when they came to con
sder the nature of the animal, their
knowledge was, lie said, very limited.
That arose from the fact that people
had tried rather to teach animals than
to learn from them. 1t had occurred
to him that some such method as that
which was followed in the case of deaf
mutes might prove instructive if adapt
ed to the case o. dogs. He had tried
it with q black poodle belonging to
himself. He then went on to relate
several experiments he had made with
pieces of cardboard with different
words marked on them. He had taken
two pieces of card. one blank AMI the
other with the word food" marked
upon it. He had put the latter on IL
saucer containing some bread and milk,
and the blank card on an empty saucer.
The dog was not allowed to eat until
he had brought the proper card to him.
This experiment was repeated over and
over again, and i'll about ten days the
dog began to dist guish the card with
the letters on it from the plain card.
1t took longer time to make the dog
realize the difference between different
words. In order to try and discover
whether the dog could distinguish col
ors he prepared six cards, making two
of them blue, two yellow, and two or
ange. He pat one of each on the floor
and tried to get the dog to bring him
IL card with the same color as the one
which he showed the dog in his hand.
after trying this for three months he
found that his experiment III this direc-
ton was failure. From experiments
which he had made he had come to the
conclusion that ants had not the power
of addressing each other. His i'm
preston on the whole was that bees
and ants were not deaf, but they heard
sounds so shrill that they were beyond
our hearing There was no doubt
about insects seeing. lie then went
ON to relate several experiments he had
! made with the view of discovering
whether different insects could distin-
/ guish different colors, and had any
! preference for particular colors. The
colors of objects must, he said, present
II very different impression upon insects
Than on human beings.

1t has been discovered that CHAMBERS have

discovery was made by DR.. Trulinger, who

there are at least twenty-five cases in the

a bad cold in horse, or the distemper. 1t

Mr.. Nichol appeared before the Board OF
Commissioners last Monday to see if any &C
ton could be taken by them in the matter.
The Commissioners ordered the law printed
in handful form and distributed thoroughly
throughout Mason and Smith Valleys. 1t is
also learned tina. T. B. Smith, of Smiths
Valley has lost about IS head Of horses from
CHAMBERS, having the animals killed as sson
as he found out what allied them. 1t is be-

Valleys by band of horses from California.
The CHAMBERS is diseacs that is fatal and
contagious. DR.. Trullinger says that not
