A Mining Opportun fty Missed.

Speaking Of gold excitements," said
George w. Beal in the presence of a
little social gathering in West Park
street O few evenings since, reminds
me OF a chance I once had to purchase
a placer claim in Confederate gulch.
The men who owned the bar offered
It to me for $500 cash, and were anx-
ious to sell it at that figure, but I hest
tated. Finally I told them I would
have an expert examine and test the
ground and il it was what they repre-
This was satisfactory, and my expert
made the test and reported u~nfavorably
upon 1t. That settled the deal, and I
went ON my way in search Of Other
fields. About two months later 1 re-
turned to Confederate gulch end found
a six-mule team and a wagon behind 1t
containing two tons Of gold taken from
a portion Of the bar those men wanted
to sell me for $500. The team was
ready to start for Fort Benton with the
gold, and was surrounded by thirty
armed men, who were to guard the
metal on the way. After l refused to
purchase the ground the mel concluded
to work it themselves, and from a space

Joseph Altman runs a small sail boat
attached to the mosquito fleet reserve,
and as MI. Altman Is one of those who
go down to the sea in ships he is on
the lookout for fotsam and jetsam at
all times. So when n morning re-
Gently he noticed O bottle on the beach
at Boliver, about thirty miles northeast
from Galveston, he took it in his net,
fguratively speaking, says the News
It was just a common old glass bottle,
the same as many others which have
done duty as holders Of whisky, blu
this bottle held no whisky, nor did the
cork show marks of teeth-a sailor al
ways uneorks a bottle with his teeth.
The bottle was covered with barnacles
and contained acircular printed in Ger
man, which stated.that two. bottles
were set afloat from the p. and o.
steamer Petropolis of Hamburg, Capt.
TIL. Albert, at 6 o'clock a. M, on the
18th day Of May, 1891, in south lati-
tude, 2 degrees 46 minutes, west longi-
tude from Greenwich, 81 degrees 46
minutes. The Petropolis was then en-
route from Lisbon to Bahai. The finder
Of the bottle was requested to forward
the circular to the German hydro
graphic bureau at Hamburg, or to the
nearest German consul, together with
the time Of it's finding and whether the
bottle contained no sand. The point at
which this bottle was cast into the sea
is about 1900 miles east Of Para and
about $50 miles northeast Of Bahai.
Here the equatorial current sweeps
along, following the trend Of the coast
Of northern South America, the 18TH
mus Of Panama, Mexico and the gulf
states. And along with it went the bot
tie, fouted and jeered at by google
eyed fishes, until it was stranded on
Bolivar beach. The waif had been $40
days on the trip, provided 1t had just
landed when Mr.. Altman found it. As
the distance Travelled is something yer
5000 miles, and as the bottle was
picked up $40 days after it was set
aloat, it must have loafed along the
way somewhat.

ALCOHOL AND SPARRWS.
How the demonstrating Birds Were
Captured.

How the demonstrating Birds Were
Captured.
The English sparrows have proved a
nuisance in the cotton country, for as
o as the bolls open they pick out
the cotton and carry it off, and some
planters have lost, as they claim, hun
dreds of pounds in this way. There is
one man, however, in De Witt county
that has not lost much. When he
found the sparrows were committing
depredations he produced a Quantity OF
wheat, soaked 1t in sweetened whisky
End strewed it along the rows. The
sparrows found it and thought they
had a picnic. So they had, but In fif-
teen or twenty minutes there was the
tipsiest lot of English sparrows ever
seen on the face of the earth. They
rolled about the ground, falling on
their sides and back, and kicking their
heels into the air like a parcel Of drunk,
ards, all the while uttering the most
colnical squeaks. They did not have
long to squeak, however, for the boys
gathered them up and threw them into
bags. The first day they gathered
two bushels Of drunken sparroWs.
Three or four days later the experiment
was repeated with almost equal success,
and from time to time since. They
made excellent potpie, but the survfv-
ors have come to regard the plantation
hoOdoOed, for now very few come
about it.-Galveston News.

The duke was even paler than usual;
his long white hair was matted upon

The duke shuddered; he was still

"Noel! "Noel!' rang out the chimes.
Then the old duke rose up like a
specter.
Listen, Robertw he said. "Listen!"
The old man mad not spoken for twen-
ty years. His sepulchral voice echoed
through the great hall, and the ancient
armor hanging on the walls gave forth
a metallic sound. The young count was
petrified with fright.
Twenty years ago I had a son; he
was handsome, brave and generous.
He loved a young peasant girl and
wished to marry her, but I refused my
consent; I could not countenance such
an outrage. My son pleaded with me,
but I was inflexible; my escutcheon
would have been %eternally disgraced.

listen! I had the stone Of the window
sill loosened so that 1t would give way
beneath her weight, carrying the un-
fortunate girl with it as 1t fell, and she
would be dashed to pieces upon the
marble floor Of the courtyard below.

FASCINATING BUT NOT PRETTY.

Some Traits of the T%oo-Often Easy
The genuine Frenchwoman of society
is rarely beautiful. She is always more
or less fascinating. Like the French
nobleman, she is tall, 1.-THE, intelligent,
appreciative of art, with much delicacy
Of feeling, and has either very strong,
almost no1re- 90
all. As there is no possibility for the
development Of love before marriage,
writes the Marquise de San Carlos in
the North American Review, this most
natural Of all human passions is apt to
assert its power long after the excita-
BILE young French woman has contract
ed an alliance with some "unsympathet-
ic fellow and it needs much character
and very solid virtue to resist the court
ship Of enterprising French noblemen,
who swarm around young brides with
the skepticism Of true nbertines. Wo-
men of strict principles, who have not
become nuns on leaving schools, and
who have the courage to withstand the
current of youth and passion, lead after
marriage, for the most part, lives Of ST.
lent domestic martyrdom. Those who
have rather loose morals, and they are,
perchance, the greater number, seem to
have a pretty good time Of 1t and spend
their golden years trompant leurs mars
with a vengeance, while they bring up
their children with the greatest severity
on a system of blindfold ignorance.
In fact, the cool way the French women
have OF being immoral without giving
up going to church on Sunday is a
mystery. One sister will be a Carmel
lite and the others will accept the hon.
age Of half a dozen admirers. Yet both
have been educated in the same con-
vent; both have shared the same life
till the cge Of Is, when the gay, laugh
ing blonde entered a religious order,
and the dark, almond-eyed sister sought
the marriage tie for the sole purpose
Of securing freedom.

a Giant Kentucky Family, Consist
ing of Parents and Niue Children.
"As a specimen of what Kentucky can
do in the way Of producing stalwart
% and daughters" said a proud ma
tive Of the Blue Grass country to a
New York Sun man, II might mention
the old Joe Morrison family Of Bour-
bon county. Anybody Of the present
generation who ever lived in Kentucky
will remember old Joe Morrison's fam
lily. The family consisted Of o and
his wife and six sons and three daugh-
tiers. Joe stood 6 feet 4 in his stock
ings and weighed 21O pounds. His
wife was the same height exactly, but
she weighed 266 pounds. The oldest
son, Tom, was also 6 feet 4, and he
weighed 236 pounds. Jim topped his
bro her Tom two inches in height, but
he seasn't rs heavy by 20 pounds. Their
sister Sarah was a slim girl, weighing
ONLY 1855 pounds, but she could look
over the heads of both Tom and Jim,
for she stood 6 feet 10 inches. But
John was the big boy Of the family.
He only lacked all inch Of being Z feet
high, and he weighed 800 pounds. Sis
ter Mary was a midget Of 6 feet 2,
and only weighed 149 pounds. Elijah
wasn't very tall, either, being the same
height as his sister Mary, but he was
OF pretty fair heft, tipping the scales
at 212. Matthew was 6 feet 2, also,
and weighed 22O, while Eli, standing
6 feet 4, weighed less than 200. The
youngest girl, Martha, was 6 feet 5,
and 16O pounds in weight. She would
undoubtedly have been the gisnt Of
the family, for that was her height and
weight at the age Of IA, a few weeks
before she died When these measure
ments were taken a few years ago,
the family were all together, but since
then old Joe and his wife have died
and the boys and girls are married
aud scattered about the state. l don't
know what their progeny have done
to keep up the family reputation as
to size, but I'll bet on 'em to keep up

Listen, Robert! listen! Beside my
lamp burned another with a steady
and brilliant flame; a white-wirged an
Eel watched over the golden vessel.
The Spirit Of Evil came and whispered
in my ear.
The old duke ceased. It seemed as
If he heard the spirits voice at that
moment. His eyes were bloodshot, his

hoarse voice:

in my ear. I saw nothing, I would

it into the brilliant lamp I took the Oil

own. My fame became brilliant and
red as blood; the other grew paler,
but retained its starry brightness. Only
one drop of oil remained; the white
angel stretched forth his wing to stop
me, but another with wings cleaning
like mother-of-pearl and bearing a gold
m sword came to us. Let the man do
his will! God will judge him! he said.
Then I took the last drop Of oil.
Then I was afraid. Whose lamp
is this?' I asked, pointing the fame
which was just on the point Of going
out. And the voice replied, 1T is the
soul Of thy beloved son. At that mo-
ment the fame went out. The white
angel took the soul in it's wings and few
away with a cry Of grief; but the Spirit
of Evil responded with a loud cry Of
triumph.

the tears streaming down his face.

tending the precious lamp. Feed the

At that moment the castle bell rang

his bed of straw seemed respondent

A CHRISTMAS REPENTANCE

The chateau Of Ploerneuf was the
terror Of the Breton people. The coun-
try fola made the sign Of the cross as
they passed by and murmured: There
Is the accursed ones castle!"
About the walls that surrounded the
grounds was a brier hedge, which no
one dared to cross. The servants pass
ed each other by like shadows, afraid
to speak above a whisper. No n
dared to address the master. Only the
young Count Robert found favor in the
eyes of the lord Of the manor, the old
Duke de Kerberzof, his uncle.
At the time this story begins Robert
was seated at the old mans feet. He
was seated in the great ducal chair;
his face was livid, his eyes cleaning,
and his countenance distorted with
fear. He was listening intently; n
would have said that he was the ghost
of terror.
Beside him on the porphyry column
burned a small golden lamp set with
precious stones. Behind it stood a tall
negro, who, as each minute passed, let
fall a single drop Of oil upon the flame.

I heard the bells on Christmas day
Their old familiar carols play;
And wild and sweet,
The words repeat
OF peace on earth, good will to men!
And thought how, as the day had come,
The belfries of all Christendom
Had rolled along
The unbroken song
Of peace on earth, good will to men!
Till ringing, singing on it's way,
The world revolved from from night to
day!
A voice, a chime,
A chant sublime,
OF peace on earth, good will to men!
But in despair I bowed my head;
"There is no peace on EARTH" l said
For hate is strong
And mocks the song
OF peace on earth, good will to men,
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep:
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep;
The wrong shall fail,
The right prevail, -.
With peace on earth, good will to menu
