MARYsyILLE, CAL, Jan. 81. = Last
night two men went to cabin occupied
by Night Watchman William Conway,
on the bridge about two miles north of
this city, and made inquiries from him
Of the time that night trains passed
there. Conway thought that they
acted and talked rather queerly, and a
few minutes after they left he thought
he would again GLOSS the bridge and see
that everything was all right. He had
not gone very far when he discovered
two giant-powder cartridges, to which
were attached long fuses. The threw
them into the river and started back to
arm himself and prepare to patrol. He
reached an uncovered Lart of the trestle,
when he was seized by the men, who
threw him to the ground 16 feet below.
The old man was found there this morn

this city, and, after medical treatment,

rhe craze for Souvenirs.

The popular craze for souvenirs which
now prevails among persons who have
money to spend is spreading in various
directions. Formerly the silver spoon
held undisputed sway, but now there are
souvenir bracelets, souvenir napkin
rings, souvenir buttons and souvenir
fans. The silversmiths are kept busy
getting up new and novel designs, and
each jewelry store of any Importance
has its souvenir department. Spoons Of
course are still in the greatest demand.
One young married woman in this town,
who is an ardent collector of souvenirs,
is the proud possessor Of nearly 100
spoons, each representing city or vii
lage that she has visited.--New York

Riches.

Every human life has it's purpose, and
also certain desires, and among the latter
one of the chief is to acquire wealth. It is
folly to contend against the desire even on
moral grounds; as he who would be able to
make the clearest case, would still fail in
convincing himself that reasonable
share of this worlds goods would necessa-
rilv disqualify himfor the highest state of
human enjoyment, and the world has yet
to see philosopher. of whatever school,
who would not make himself an exception
to any rule which would constitute the get.
ting of riches moral wrong.
The possession of wealth iS in itself,
neither good nor bad. 1t is only the use of
money which circumscribes it's moral tend
encies. Even the Bible. that highest text
book of morality, does not denOunce riches
per Sc. 1t is not money. but the love of it
which is called the ''the root of all evil"
To desire riches then is no evil. To the
contrary. it is not only legitimate but high
ly commendable. The possession of wealth
not only adds to ones Importance in the
community. but also places within the per-
son possessing same almost limitleSS powers
to do good.
Ihoro is not an enterprise LnaC does not
depend in the greatest measure for its sue
cess and usefulness upon money. Through
it's potency, states are inhabited. churches
erected, knowledge ditfused, and the ave.
nues of commerce kept open. The acquisi-
ton of wealth then for the good it may do
is worthy purpose of life. How shall it
be accomplished? Here is the key. y.note of
all the dissatisfaction existing in the minds
of the people. The modern means and
ways used to acquire wealth create the
trouble. There is seemingly no method
which however illegitimate which ingenuity
can devise, but that is resorted to for this
end. To suddenly become rich is the pas
sion of the age; and in striving to reach the
goal, the rights of others are not considered
in any way. or even given a moments
thought. Laws should be enacted and
placed upon the statue books prohibiting
the acquisition of wealth by corrupt means
Wealth acquired by mans honesty and
industry will be better appreciated. and
better use made of it than of the riches ac
quired on Stock Exchanges and Boards of
Trade. OBSERVER.

The SalOOnkeeper.

To the man of varied experience. there's
no animal so we'll known as the saloon
keeper. He's rustler and keeps abreast
of the times. He's in the vanguard retail
ing his liquid poison at four bits $50 cents)
a drink; he's in the rear in his stone front
and mirrOred interior; he's everywhere!
He's the leech that is sucking the blood of
progress and civilizaton-the parasite on
the body polite.
There was time when it was possible to
find all "honest, truthful. virtuous, peace
loving, law. abiding salOOnkeeper." That
was before the frugal tavernkeeper of colo.
NAL times who brewed his own ale and
whose wife brought in the hot water and
sugar to make the punch, degenerated into
the wolf of modern saloonkeeper. There
probably remains yet. in remote Dutch set
Elements. some of his descendants. but we
have never met with them.
Taken in the abstract. an honest saloon
keeper is an impOssibility. Selfishness is
his cardinal virtue, and this, when carried
to excess, as it always is where the moral
faculties are blunted. is diametrcally Op-
posed to honesty. Who ever heard of a
moral salOOnkeeper? Occasionally you find
him in the church. but the only church that
admits him is the Catholic church. and her
doors are always open to sinners of every
grade. race and color. He's debarred from
the society of Free MasOns and we think
that his exclusion has been considered in
the Sovereign Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows.
He's prohibited from entering the Knights
of Labor. Everywhere the doors of good
society are closed against him-he is social

If ever you should happen to be in the
vicinity of Leadville, Colo. you should not
fail to visit Twin Lakes. distant twenty
miles from Leadville.
The writer was there in the summer
's4 and spent few days enjoying the most
beautiful natural scenery it has ever been
his privilege to behold. The lakes are two
small bodies of water clear as crystal, sep
arated by narrow strip of land only wide
enough for an ordinary carriage road. and
are in no place connected. The larger one
of the two is three miles long by two and
half wide. The smaller one being almost

peculiar natural grandeur of these little
lakes lies in their location and surround.
ings. AS to location. it may be said with
strict adherence to TRUTH that they are sit
uated at times in the clouds. having an
altitude of nine thousand three hundred
and seventy five feet. Upon the larger lake
is small steamer (''The Idyl Wilde') for
the use of tourists which enjoys the reputa-
tiOn of navigating waters in higher alti.
tude than any other vessel in the world.
Underneath the smooth surface of these
lakes is the home of the mountain trout,
Talk about trout fshing-well. I won't
spring any fish stories on you lest it might
arouse suspicion OF prevarication which
would do an injustice to the beautiful spot
l have tried to describe. Suffice it to say if
l didn't catch many trout l ate a good many
that the other fellow caught.
At the southern extremity of the smaller
lake. and near enough to throw his shadow
far out in its crystal depths, stands "Old

of something over thirteen hundred feet.

1 would like to be able to describe this
little work of nature as it deserves. but am
unable as every reader of this article must
know who has seen Twin Lakes. It must
be seen to be appreciated. If the day you
are looking for ever comes, go to Twin
Lakes. Colo. inhale pure mountain air,
drink pure mountain spring water, eat
mountain trout, and grow fat. F. 81.

And was just out. He had no friends. or none

He might not have been guilty of it. Well,
What he now wanted was some place to stay,
And work that he could do. 1 managed it
With no great trouble. And then, there began
The strangest thing ever knew. The man,
who showed no other signs of a weak wit,
Was hardly settled in his place a week
When he came round to see me, and to speak
About his lodging What the matter was
He could not say or would not tell the cause,
But he must leave that place; he could not bear
To stay. l found another room. but there
After another week he could not stay.
Again placed him, and he came to say
At the weeks end that he must go away.
So it went on. week after week. and then
At last made him tell me. 1t appears
That his imprisonment of fifteen years
Had worn so deep into the wretch's- brain
That any place he happened to remain
Longer than one day in began to seem
His prison and all over again to him,
And when the thing had got into this shape,
He was quite frantic till he could escape.
Curious, was not it? And tragcal.
