In the compartment with me were t,rae old Hindoo merchants, gray bearded, dignifed and respectable who evidently were natives of the ] better sort.
 Breakfast time came. We were still many hot and dusty miles from a refreshment station, and from the depths of some of their bundles the old gentlemen, who had evidently travelled before, evolved a supply of cooked food.
 It consisted simply of large bowl of ''dal," like stiff pea soup, and a pile of 'chapathes, small, leathery, unleavened pancakes made of flour.
 With my usual indifference to the wants of my inner man, had neg lected to provide myself with a luncheon, and while was thinking of the nice breakfast l should have in two or three hours one of the old gentlemen suddenly thrust his fin gers into the bowl of cooked ''dal they had no spoons, forks or knives  -scooped up a generous handful, plastered 1t over a little pile of ''cha- pathes, and with a benevolent beam over bis spectacles handed 1t to me.

The Afrhnna.

Of all the races with which the English have come in close contact, the Afghans are the most uncivi. hzed Ill nature and grain. They are fierce, bloodthirsty, fanatical and treacherous; their good qualities arc of the elementary. domestic kind, and their highest virtue is courage, which they possess to a conspicuous degree. They are uncivilized in the sense that they are without any ma tional cohesion or responsibility. Each man Is independent of hls fel- lows and rejects the authority of even tribal chiefs. No doubt there are in every clan or tribe men of prominence for their wealth or prow- ess or cunning, who command a cer- tain following.
 But their influence is personal and temporary and vanishes as quickly as 1t has sprung up. In some quiet Utopia, where the individual might be allowed to develop in peace. this intense individuality might be no disadvantage But 1t is otherwise in a country like Afghanistan. torn with intestine discord and lealously regarded by powerful neighbors. .- Fortnightiy Review.

 Among the applicants for marriage licenses who were before Judge Eller were Fred w. Randall and Berue Brubaker. who had come up rom Beatrice to be joined in matrimony. They were both up to the requisite age. and Mir. Walkup did not hesl- tate to draw up the preliminary aln- 6avits. When he had dotted the last and crossed the last (, the young woman, who had apparently been buried in deep thought, re- marked:
 "I'don't believe I care to get mar ried.
 You don'tf'' cried the startled bridegroom.
 No. I guess not, and started out.
 The young man followed her, and they held brief conversation among the books and papers of the outer office. when Mir Walkup, with dreams of an elopement in mind, suggested that they might have the inner room for private discussion if they desired They entered and were for some time engaged in ear nest talk, the bridegroom expectant arguing for all he was worth. Final ly the girl gave in and agreed to car " the affair through, and the judge was called from the bench to fix 1t up before she could again change her mind.
 By thunder it was mighty lucky, and it was nearly unlucky that you had a judge around handy then, ob- served the newly married man as he wiped the precipitation from his brow.
 What was the matterf' the clerk inquired.
 Why, there's some kind of law suit going on in there, isn't theref indicating the direction of the court room, from which the voices of at torneys in dispute were heard. It was a case in which one member of family living in South Omaha was trying to get money from another, and some vigorous family truths were being told. Well, she had been listening to the way they were testifying about family troubles, and 1t had scared her out.
 It was true. The dissension bred by marriage m the South Omaha family and waited over the transom had nearly spoiled the hopes of an other couple. Omaha World Herald.

 The territorial board of eQualiza- tion yesterday closed its labors which were confined exclusively to fixing the valuation for taxable purposes upon the railroads of the territory. The changes were i'm portant and agreed upon only after mature deliberation and careful comparison with the figures in other western states and territories.
 It will be seen that in many C ses the figures are unchanged, but it will also be seen that those roads are so situated as to have been un- able to reap any material benefit from the general growth and pros perity of the territory.
 The following are the changes:
 The Arizona X New Mexico whose returned assessment of S3,4SS per mile was allowed to stand.
 No change was made m valuation S6,030, per mile. Of the Arizona X Southeastern, from Fairbanks to Bisbee.
 Also the valuation of the Central Arizona load. 1000, was permitted to stand.
 The Maricopa X Phenix includ- ing road bed right of way. rolling stock was raised to S5.5S0 per mile. No change was made in the valua- ton S5,705 per mile of the New Mexico & Arizona from Benson to Nogaies.
 The Prescott X Arizona Central from Prescott was raised from S3,IS3 as returned, to S,22l per mile
 The valuation of the Southern Pacific was raised from S6,S0O to Sl0.796 per mile and the Atlantic X Pacific was increased from 5000 to SS.53i4S per mile
 These valuations include not only the road bed but the rolling stock and equipment.
 The next meeting of the board will be held in August at which the county assessment rolls will be passed upon.-Phenix Republican.
