Truth in Death.
New York Sun.

New Y fork sun.
 We had a man named Burrows in our mining camp, and he was without doubt the most notorious liar Nevada will ever shelter. His fame as & liar spread for a hundred miles around, and men used to stop at our camp to get a good look at him. He wasn't wicked man, and he had no malice about him, but he was a natural born liar. He lied about his father, his mother, his wife, brothers, sisters and every body else, and for every hour in the day he had new falsehood. He had claim of his own and was fairly industrious, and SO we had no excuse to drive him out, although his lies were continually kicking up an i'll feeling among the men. One day a lot of earth and rock caved in on him and inflicted fatal injuries, and a num- Der of us knocked of work to be with him in his last moments. You would have thought the shadow of death would have brought change of senti- ment, but it did not. Lying there with only an hour of life left to him, he tod us that he had been a pirate on the Pacific and where he had buried large amount of plunder. We all knew that he was from Ohio and had never seen any ocean; but he stuck to it. One of the men finally felt it his duty to say:
 "Burrows, you have only a short time to live. You had best spend that in preparing for eternity"
 "Pve allus been good" he quietly replied.
 "Yes, but you are an awful liar, you know"
 "Yes, I suppose SO. I've told mill lion of them, haven't F"
 "No doubt of it.
 "And every one has been laid up agin me?"
 "Very likely"
 And my chance is rather slim?"
 "Rather."
 "Well, boys, it's my way, and can't change at this last day. Just as that cave-in came l struck nugget as big as my head. It would value up a clean fifteen thousand dollars. If you'll be kind enough to pull it out and sell it and send the cash to my wife, I'll die feeling better"
 He went off soon after that, and we said to each other that he had given us the greatest yarn of all. No one took his claim, which was accounted a poor one, and it lay for three months before one of the hOvs duO into if ono day for the pickax buried and forgot ten. He hadn't got the pick when he came across a lump of gold which balanced $l3,2S0 in coin, and every shilling of the money was sent on to the widow as directed. It got there to find there was no widow, but six months later went to sister. In his dying hour Burrows told the truth about his find, but alas he repented

A Great Battle

Is continually going on in the human system. The demon of impure blood strives to gain victory over the con- stitution, to ruin health, to drag vic- tims to the grave.

Queen VictorIa's Habits

Mrs. Alexander, in Philadelphia Times.
 The inner life of the court has little in it to tempt simplicity, dutifulness, conscientious performance of work are its characteristics. At 9 her majesty breakfasts alone, unless some of her children, grandchildren or personal friends are staying in the pal ace, and she is rarely without them. In summer, at Osborne, Windsor or Bslmoral, this meal is generally served out of doors, in some alcove, tent or summer house, after the queen either drives in small pony carriage, ac- companied by one of the princesses, or she walks attended by lady in- wait ing or maid of honor, with whom she converses with friendly ease and followed by two Highland servants and some favorite dogs.
 Luncheon is served at ?, the con- wives being her majesty's family or royal guests. Until this hour, from her short after breakfast exercise, the queen is diligently occupied with official correspondence and business of various kinds. Long training has made her politician of no mean abil- ity and breadth of view, her natural common sense forming an admirable basis for such a perstructure. It assists, too, in enabling her to choose her friends well and wisely, though the court surroundings are not cal culated to help royal personages in forming just judgment of character. Human nature puts on 8 somewhat too angelic guise, where everything may be won by suitability and mo- thing by the reverse.
 In the mornings the maids of honor (they are nine in alD in waiting for the time are with the princesses read ing or practicing on the piano, singing or playing lawn tennis with them, as any young ladies, companions to- gether, might. The lady in- waiting accompanies the queen in her afternoon drives and visits, which are most fre- quently to the poor and to humble workers, often to simple gentry or any one in trouble. Afterward this lady reads aloud to her majesty in her private sitting room.
 
 that meal is shared by those of the royal family then residing with the queen, by distinguished visitors and some of the household in rotation, viz, lord and ladies in waiting, maids of honor, equerries and grooms- in- wait ing, this latter official holding con- siderably lower position than the equerry, though to the uninstructed it sounds like a distinction without a difference.
 The queen is & woman of strict business habits and steady application. The amounts of correspondence she gets through is enormous. Tn the private portion of this correspondence her majesty is assisted by her private secretary, & lady-in- waiting and a maid of honor, especially the dowa- ger marchioness of Ely, one of the ladies, who is valued friend.
 When the court is at Windsor the members of the household in attend ance are one lady-in- waiting (these ladies are always peeresses), two maids of honor,a 6 ord-in- waiting, also the keeper of the privy purse, the pri- vate secretary, assistants in both de- partments and the master of the house. hold. The attendance is the same at Osborne and Balmoral, with the excep- tion of the lord-in- waiting.
 To attend to her majesty's toilet and wardrobe there are five maids,

young man named Hall was the fiddler.
During the progress of the dance dis
pute arose between Head and Hall, when
the latter attacked Head with a
knife, cutting him severely about
the neck and breast The
result of the fight is uncertain

the knife, and again that Head shot and
killed Hall during the difficulty. Head
is a man of family and Hall is unmar-
ried.
A number of parties from different
parts of Texas passed through here last

the scene was a distressing and heart
rending one The wounded were run
over by the stampeding crowd ),
and helpless and bleeding forms
were carried from the wreck in great
numbers. Every handkerchief i'll the as
semblage was used to bandage the
wounds, and government ambulances and
stretchers were sent at once to the scene
of the accident. The stand was built by
lumber company of Oklahoma City and
was about $50 feet long. The seats COM

to an elevation of about twenty five
feet. Under the seats were several fruit
stands and booths, where numbers of
people were standing when the crash
came.

sion here for two weeks, adjourned for
the term this afternoon, and on Monday

all of her relatives became convinced
that she could not live. Mrs. Althouse
now partakes of small quantities Of
nourlshment, Is able to move her hands,
and SCENE much stronger, but she is
wholly powerless to sit up in bed, where
she has lain during the two years of her
illness. Lately she has had no medical
attendance and strangers have been more
rigidly excluded from the house thar
ever before.
Her last trance lasted only week, and
she has had several short maps of three
or four days. In one OF them, 1t /:
claimed, she plainly saw the scenes at
tending the Inauguration OF President
Harrison, but her strength was not suili
