A Curious Superstition.

A curious superstition was
brought out during the perform
ance Of a marriage ceremony in a
Justices office in Omaha. The
magistrate had commanded the
contracting parties 10 stand before
him, and was about to begin the
ceremony, when a woman rushed
in and ordered thejudge TO stop a
moment. The woman, who proved
to be the brides mother, looked al
the carpet on the floor, and said !:
Judge, | am a little supersti-
tious. Which way do the cracks
on this floor runP
This was a puzzler for the Judge I;
but, being of an accommodating
spirit, he ripped up about two
wards of The carpet beneath his
feet and found that the seams Of
the floor ran crosswIse of the feet
of the young couple he was about
10 unite. The position of the
bride and groom was changed.
The old lady gave a sigh of relief,
and the ceremony proceeded.

jim Anguish s. FAMILY
SNaL Pocks.

Terror stricken with fear of contagion
the exploring party fed, but some weeks
later summoned courage to return, for the
rough frontiersmen believed in the burial
Of the friendlesS dead. Here a curious
fact was disclosed-no traces of the tools
employed by the Anguish family in their
recent architectural laborS could be found,
nor a footprint of the horses they were
known to possess, nor a shred of their
clothing or blankets. Another curious
fact was tho skull of Mr.. Anguish himself
exhibited two aperatures not usually pro-
vided by nature-one on the frontal bone
near the temple, the other in the occiput-
both looking remarkably like the work of
bullet. Also rib, presumably once the
private proprrty of Mr.. Anguish's elder
son, bore semi-ciTcular scar which seem
ed to indicate violent contact with another
bullet. There was also notable absence
Of all weapons, ammunition and provis-
ions-merely the four low walls of each
uncompleted cabin, few logS half hewn,
the bleaching bones and the tell tale letter
in the cleft Stick. So the bones were
gathered, and roughly, yet not unrever-
emily, placed in shallow grave between
the unfinished cabins At the head Of
the sand heap that covered them rude
cross was erected, and the explorers rode
grimly and in deep thought from the val.
ley.
Two months before these occurrences a
traveller from one OF the few ranches scat.
tered where Cimarron now stands had
noticed hut by the road tenanted by four
drunken Mexicans and vlcious white who
had been driven from the settlement.
They had not halted him, but something
impelled him to recap his revolvers and
put spurs to his mustang. Two days af-
ter the burial IN the Vernnjo he returned
by the same road. 1t was nearly dusk,
As ne entered the grove en- the Cimarron
near the hut, which he remembered with
fear. his horse SHED violently. At the
same time the traveller noticed that where
the hut before stood there was now only a
heap Of ashes, with embers smouldering
He raised mis- eyes. From IA arm of the
grim old oak stretched across the roaC
hung FIVE curious, misshapen objects sway

wind that rushed down from the noun

Prom the Field and Farm.
About thirty years ago gold seeker
grew weary Of tramping the Russell gulCh
country in Gilpin county, and resolved to
abandon the shovel and pan and start a
ranch. He summoned his wife aHd four
sons from Denver and went to the Vsrmio
valley in northern New Mexico to settle
down. He announced to the early settlers
Of this place that he would build his two
log cabins and then return for supplies
and live stock. month passed aud he
came not. Another month and he had not
appeared. Finally curiosity was aroused
and party was organized to explore the
mystery. They found their way with diff
dculty to the Vermijo valley. At it's head
they found two log huts half built. and
within the walls of.One lay Eve skeletons,
picked clean by buzzard and coyote and
whitened by the fierce suns Of July. In q
cleft stick placed conspicuously within tAt
enclosure was scrap of paper upon which
was scrawled this legend:

Every Democratic member Of the House,

Republicans clsimedto favor it in theory,
but when 1t came TO practice-the pur'

rot need the experience of Montana and
Connecticut to demoastrate the baseless

on the apprehension that this method o

practical impossibility, and that the
proposed increased coinage OF silver dol
lars of the present standard of weight
aud ineness would be tranquil with
danger to our monetary system, and
would impose greater burdens upon the
people, for the reason that no means can
be provided for the retirement of the

through taxation or by the diversion Of
