An hour ere daylight. when throngd stars arc wan,
And such lonesome silence covers all
The world with sleep. which sleep still holds in thral
And such a shadow Of night IS yet upon

There is a totally blind young man
in Pine Grove, Esmeralda county,
who has acquired powers that in a
measure compensate him for his mis-
fortune. Pine Grove is situated in a
deep and narrow canyon, surrounded
by high mountains, and there is not a
landmark within a radius of ten miles
that, if required to do so, this Young
man could not walk up to. He works
IN the mines as pick hoy and general
~roustabout and at times runs a car. In
that section every one is more or less
familiar with the workings of the
mines and knows that there are many
croSscuts, inclines, etc, in every mine.
The blind boy, if ordered to n por-
ton of the mines to secure any tool.
will accomplish the GRAND in as salts
factory a ann as would any of his
fellow workers with a lighted candle
and good sight TO aid them. From
the center Of the town TO the house
where most of the men lodge it is
quite a long distance, and on dark
nights this young man, deprived by n
seemingly hard providence of SO great
a blessing us sight, is depended upon
10 guido the men safely home, which
he does, Notwithstanding that on each
side of the narrow trail there are many
prospect holes and old cellars.-Es-

Editor ChIIds' Wedding Presents.

Every week or oftcncr during the
wedding season the announcement is
found tackled on to the end of a mar
riago notice; Among the wedding
presents was a beautiful silver service
from George w. Childs;" or perhaps
it may read: THE many presents in
cluded a clock and mantel ornaments
from Mr.. Ghilds." Few besides him
self and the bookkeepers in large jew-
elry emporiums know Just how many
wedding presents Mr.. Childs makes in
the course of n year, but il certainly
runs into the hundreds and involves
an outlay running far into the thou
sands. 1t is by no means confined to
Philadelphia, but takes in brides all
over the country. Almost every one
with the slightest claim to acuuaint.
anc sends Mr.. Childs a wedding invi-
t%ation, though, of course, he has to
draw the line in sending presents.
The number of clocks he has given
away in ten or twenty years must be
enormous. A lady who has been mar
ried a dozen years or moro gave a tea
last winter and incidentally n late
bride admired her parlor clock.
Yes" she said, "a present from Mr..
Childs when ! was married" why,
he gave me a clock, too" said the
bride of a week, and with that there
was a chorus of and l." 'and l."
until it transpired that ten Childs
bridal clocks were represented in that

It is surprising how many peculiar
things a man will do when he has
more time and money at his disposal
than he knows what to do with.
Not long since two young English
men of fortune were travelling in this
country. They visited many sections,
and n day their conversation at
tracted the attention of a fellow trav.
eler. a conversation in which all
three joined followed.

asked of the Englishmen.
I'VE scarcely know yet But we are
at present en- route for the Mississippi
river" replied one of them.
Merely for the sake of getting a
look at that mighty stream"
well, no, not entirely. The truth
is, we want some of the water from
the Mississippi river"
want some of the waterl What
fort"
ITO keep" And amused at the ex-
preston on his questioner's face, he
continued: you see, my friend and
self have a larger income than we can
spend. We longed for something
new, and together we decided to
travel. We thought it would be more
pleasant for both if we had some OBJ
ject in view, and we wanted to do
something different from anybody
else, so we concluded to make a col
lection of waters from all the princi-
pal rivers of the earth. We have Wis
tied Europe, Asia, Australia, South
America, and now intend to do North
America. What are these collections
for3 Merely to crafty a within of the
collector, and we are doing that very
thing. Already we have sent home
many small walls, each labeled, so
there al be nc mistake, and when we
do North America we will have fin
ished the globe"
How long do you intend to keep
the collection2"
always, of course. Do you think
we would carelessly destroy what has
taken so long to ~coflect9"
We'll, l scarcely think SO, but do
you intend TO submit the waters to
some chemist or other for a~nalysis9"
1--WE hadn't thought of it. AS l told
you, we do this merely to pass the
time, spend our money, see the world
while we are young, and crafty a
whim; and you may believe that so
far we have had any amount of
pleasure out of il. "-Chicago Tribune.

The plea of insanity as a defense in
criminal actions is becoming pretty
threadbare, but n device by which the
same effects are secured seems to be
working admirably. Nowadays it is
the fashion TO claim that the criminal
in an action, whether it be theft, black
mail, murder, OF what not, is the vic
i'm of n sunstroke. Apparently a sun
stroke is the most convenient thing a
person can possibly have. 1t allows
him to continue his ordinary course of
life uninterruptedly, but confers upon
him the privilege of doing anything
his vagrant fancy may suggest, quite
unhampered by moral or legal restric-
tons.
The lrishman who described n "child
Of fancy" rs a child who did whatever
he fancied doing was not very far out
of the way in describing the condition
of n man who has been so fortunate as
to have a sunstroke. That lucky nc
cident places him above responsibility.
A man in n western city amused him
self recently by firing n revolver into
q crowd, wounding three persons, one
OF them fatally. A physicians GER
tificate was produced stating that.
owing to the effect of a sunstroke re-
ceived in India, the prisoner was at
times irresponsible for his actions. OF
course, there was nothing to be said
after that, and even tho idea of shut
ting the man up seemed to his intel
ligent and impartial judges a D
fluous precaution. He was allowed to
go at large on the strength of his lucid
intervals, the inference being that the
officials themselves were not troubled
by anything of hat sort.
1t would not be difficult to multiply
instances, although tits hardly neces-
sary; whoever has thought of the
matter must have recognized the con
vincing nature of the argument from
sunstroke when properly applied to
the average jury. To one who has
any inclination toward disregard OF
the laws n sunstroke would seem TO be
OF the greatest possible benefit. 1t is a
thing, moreover, SO easy to have, so diff.
ficult to disprove and so admirably flex-
b / n its effects, hat it would seem a
matter of the most obvious policy for
whoever is likely ever to find himself al
variance with authority TO provide
himself with q certificate of sunstroke
at once.-Boston Courier.

A Letter of Prince Albert.

In the second volume of his memoirs
h Duke of Coburg makes certain dis
closures of the deepest interest. Thus
he writes:
IF it were desired to characterize
the relations between my brother, the
prince consort, and Lord Palmerston
in general terms one might say that
the only thing that united them was q
common aversion to certain persons
and things"
In this connection the duke quotes
a letter from Prince Albert to himself,
written toward the end of the year
1861, the year of the first international
exhibition. In this epistle the late
prince consort writes:
1.-The year closes with an event fortu-
nate for us-namely, that the man
who has embittered our whole lives by
constantly forcing us to the shameful
alternative of either sanctioning his
misdeeds all over Europe, of educating
the Radical party here under his
leadership into q power, or of getting
into open var with the crown, and
thus throwing the only country in
which liberty, order and respect to law
exist together into the general chaos
that this man has, as it were, cut his
own throat. Give q rogue rope enough
and no will hang himself is an old
English proverb with which we have
sometimes tried to console ourselves.
and which has once more proved true
in this case. = ' We shall have
all sorts of trouble with Palmerston.
who Is furious, and likewise with a
reform bill which has been promised,
and the right carrying out Of which is
of great importance to all Europe"

Count Tolstoi is n man of co, with
iron gray hair, sunburned counte-
nance, plentifully furnished with
gray beard and mustache. His hair
is parted down the middle and is thick
and full. His brow, furrowed with
the plowshare of thought, is broad
piercing, CLEAN out beneath bushy
brows. His nose, large and promi-
nent, has full and expressive nostrils.
The features are so strongly marked
that once seen they cannot 500 be
forgotten He is rather above the
average height, and his threescore
years have not bowed his stature. But
he is no longer as robust as he was.
He looks somewhat shrunken and
worm, as if time and the ever burning
fire within were making inroads on
what was once n stout and stalwart
form.
Count Tolstoi dresses not a Ia moujik,
but not as a count. He wears a coarse.
dark blouse, buttoned up the breast
and fastened round the waist with a
lcathern girdle. Collars, cuffs and
such frippery he eschews. His trou-
sers are as those of other men. On
his head he wears a soft, weather
beaten brimless hat, and whenever he
walks abroad he carries "A stout staff.
The costume of the disciple is like TO
that of his master. Simplicity in
dress is n distinctive note OF the Toll
stoian gospel-one among the many
points in which it resembles the
Quakers. - Cor. Louisville Courier

A sleep walkers Adventure.

The other night a young man living
near here got up in his sleep, par
tally dressed himself, descendedto the
yard and jumped into the well. The
plunge bath, of course, woke him up.
He struggled to the top, being a good
swimmer, and while cfutching about
in the dark on the surface of the water
he got hold of the chain which worked
over a pulley and which had a buckle
at both ends. He threw his weight
on the chain but the pulley worked
easily, and the bucket on the other
end shot up and the young man shot
down toward the bottom of the well,
Sundry we'll directed but spasmodic
kicks brought him to the top again;
but just at hat moment the recently
assembled bucket, which had turned
down again when he turned the chain
loose, met the top of his head with a
severe blow, which ducked him under
again.
Reaching the surface again, and
with a GOODNESS and presence of mind
which was remarkable under the cir
cumstances, he gathered the chain,
and while ''treading water" as the
boys call it, he gently pulled the
chain, causing the bucket to ascend
until it hit the pulley at the top of the
we'll frame. Now he had q solid hold,
and, finding the step holes on the side
OF the well, he soon mounted to the
curbing and sprang out upon terra
firma. He said hat he thought in his
dreams that he was at the ford" and
was jumping in for a pleasant bath,
The water in the well was twenty feet
deep, but the surface was not far be-
low the bottom of the curb~Valdosta

A young man in Meadville, Pa,
thought he would like to be a locomo-
tive fireman. He made his applica-
ton to the New York, Pennsylvania
and Ohio road and was sent out to
learn the ropes. Thinking he might
get hungry before his return he put
a dozen raw eggs in a tin pail which
he placed in TIL tank box. The trip
was such an eventful and busy one
that the EGGS were forgotten, and as it
was the last run" of the would be
fireman, who became disguised with
the life he wanted to lead, the pail and
its contents were left in the tank box.
Three weeks later, when the engineer
went to the box for some tools, he dis
covered a new dinner pail, which he
appropriated. Taking his find to the
engine he removed the cover, and 10
and behold there lay nine lovely
young chickens, only three of the eggs
having failed to hatch in their patent
less incubator. In proof of the story
he exhibits the fowls in his hennery.

The Best Belt.

A mechanical engineer, writing
about betting materials, advises ma
chinists to select belts of a light color
in preference to others. 1.-THE best
betting" he writes, ''has an unmistak-
able light buff color, which indicates
that it is not only all oak tanned, but
that the leather has been thoroughly
washed by the currier to remove all
matter except the fiber. The light
buff color also indicates that only the
best quality of greases have been used;
if the latter are of inferior quality they
darken and impair the leather"

A young man only two years past
his majority is at the bar. He is stout
and healthy and we'll able to work at
his trade of steam fitting, but he is idle
and has only one ambition-to be
leader of the gang" of which he is a
member. His face shows what his life
has been. Deep lines mark his cheeks
and brow. His eyes are deeply sunken
and have a furtiye, restless look, as if
he was continually ON the watch for
an officer of the law. He has been in
Jail several times, and has finally
reached the grade of highway robber.
When he finishes his term of impris-
onment he will be fitted for his long
sought position of gang leader, and
may thence be graduated, as Driscol,
McGloin and others have been to the
gallows. The recorders voice is stern
as he recites the facts of the young
offenders crime.
You and some of your compan-
ions, who unfortunately have not been
arrested, met q young immigrant.
You succeeded by a trick in inducing
him to show that he had some money.
Then you followed him and dragged
him into a dark hallway. You and
your companions assaulted him,
knocked him down and robbed him
of every cent which he possessed. The
streets of our city cannot be safe while
such men as you arc at large. The
sentence of the court is that you be
imprisoned in the state prison at hard
labor for the term of fifteen years"

streets and of evil companionship,
knows that he would lose caste if he
shows the slightest emotion, and he
