Where Romeo Counts the Stripes

A peculiar custom obtains in Brit.
tany whereby a manageable young
man can easily ascertain the dowry
which attaches to any young lady. On
certain fete days the young ladies ap-
pear in red petticoats with white and
yellow borders round them. The num-
ber Of borders denotes the portion the
father Is willing to give his daughter.
Each white band represent silver, and
denotes 100 francs per annum, while
each yellow band denotes gold, and
betokens 1000 francs year. Thus
young man who sees a face that
pleases him has but to glance at the
trimmings of the petticoat. and, with
out any bashful or suspicious inquiry,
he can learn what amount of money
accompanies the wearer.
Denver is now passing through ONE
OF the most remarkable crises in the
history Of any American city. In two
months a large community has been
plunged from a fancied condition Of
assured prosperity to state of ex-
trene depression. The change has
been so sudden the people hardly real
lze II, and no one is convinced that the
new conditions will last long. The
change is due to the shut down of the
silver mines.

How . Country Preacher Rose Superior to

How o Country Preacher Rose Superior to
the Temptations of Satan.
She was from the country, but she
didn't intend to take back water on
that account if she could help it. Piety
was the subject of discussion, and Sis
ter Jane, who lived in q town that
made some pretensions to being con-
sidered a city, had been expatiating on
the immaculate righteousness Of Par
son jenkins.
Sister Melinda bided her time until
her innings came round, and then took
the floor.
Il don't mind allowin'," she said,
that Parson jenkins Is powerful re-
ligious man, but when 1t comes to
downright wrestlin' with Satan, an
reSistin his wiles an temptations,
why. stands right up In meetin' an
says that our Parson Goodfriend can't
be beat by no man. He don't run a
soup kitchen Gus we don't have no use
for sich things down our way, an he
don't 60 slummin' Gus we amt got no
slums, but he's always ready for a
tussel with the adversary, no matter
how many snares and pitfalls he sets
for his feet.
you know, he keeps a maple grove
onto his little place, an he sets pow
erful store by 'em. Well, it hadn't
been very good sugarin' weather at the
time I'm speaking Of. 1t had been
frizzin' considerable night times, but
it hadn't thawed out any daytimes, an
the sap hadn't had a good chance to
run. But Parson Goodfriend wuz al
lers gread hand for takin' time by
the forelock, so he got his holes bored
an his spouts druv in an his buckets
set SO as ter have everything ready to
take advantage Of the right sort O.

We'll, he done that on Wednesday,
an them trees of his never dripped
drop on Thursday, nor on Friday, nor
on Saturday; but on Sunday the sun
shone out powerful warm an every
thing was thawin' An when he
went to look at his trees on Monday
mornin-'cus, of course, he wouldn't
let himself think Of them even on a
Sunday-he found that his sap troughs
an buckets WIZ just brimful Then
what do you think he done:'
why, 1 suppose he did what any
other man would have DONE" replied
Sister Jane. He took the sap away
| to make maple sugar out of it,
Eyes, that's what Parson Jenkins
would a-done, no doubt" said Sister
Melinda, triumphantly, AN it just

there amt no more pious man livin'
than our Parson Goodfriend No, he
didn't shout for Joy an take that sap

A RARE OCCURRENCE.

Mr. EGkenfode's Eel Catch Almost Un-
pafAl1elled In the Annals of Fishing.
A remarkable haul Of aels was made
the other day by Cosmos Eckenrode,
who was fishing along the Tulpehock-
en-. There Is a variety Of eels known
as the tandem eel, which Is very sell
dom found in this State, though COM
mon in the West. A popularity Of this
variety Is that they travel, when NIL
grating, single file, about six inches
apart, and maintain that distance ex-
actly during the time Of their progress
If one Of the lot shoots ahead too rap
idly the one following Immediately
grasps him by the tail, In order to
drag him back to his proper place In
the line. They appear to have a re-
markable instinct for distance, and the
variation of an inch will cause the
rear eel to exercise his authority to
put the brakes on the one ahead.
While Mr.. Eckenrode was fishing be
hooked one Of the travellers, 8 very
remarkable circumstance, as they sell
domSbite while migrating. As Soon as
he had hooked 1t he, Of course gave
haul on the line, which caused this par
ticular eel to shoot ahead. He was
Immediately grasped by the one fol
lowing, and as that one likewise shot
ahead the next one did the same, so
that when Mr.. Eckenrode began to
haul out he found q solid rope Of eels.
Dropping his rod and line he grasped
the living rope and began to haul In
hand over hand. He kept hauling In
and piling up the eels until he was ut
terly exhausted when he was obliged
to stop and cut the connection. He
quickly ran for assistance, and num-
Der Of the neighbors came to help him
take care Of his rare catch. When
they were all gathered up and loaded
on wagons it was found that he had
S75 pounds. About $50 worth were
sent to the Reading market, and the
rest were distributed among his neigh
bors.
The news Of his remarkable catch
has spread all over the upper part OF
the county, and great many fisher
men have been endeavOring to repeat
it, but without success, since, accord
ing to naturalists, an occurrence Of this
sort is one of the rarsst in fishing

Lincoln at Gettysburg.

John G. Nicolay, who was Mr.. Lin
coins private secretary, and who ae-
companied the President when he
made his immortal speech at Gettys-
burg, contributes an article to the Feb
ruary Century" describing the occa-
sion and comparing the various ver-
sions of the speech. He thus describes
it's delivery:
At about II o'clock the presidential
party reached the platform. Mr.. Ever
EFT, the orator of the day, arrived fully
half an hour later, and there was still
further waiting before the military
bodies and civic spectators could be
propsrly ranged and stationed. It
was, therefore, fully noon before Mr..
Everett began his address, after which,
for two hours, he held the assembled
multitude in rapt attention with his
eloquent description and argument,
his polished 1iction, his carefully
studied and practised delivery.
When he had concluded, and the
band had performed the usual musi-
cal interlude, President Lincoln rose
to fill the part assigned him in the pro-
gramme. 1t was entirely natural for
every one to expect that this would
consist of few perfunctory words,
the mere formality Of official dedica-
ton. There is every probability that
the aSSemblage regarded Mr.. Everett
as the mouthpiece, the organ of ex-
preston of the thought and feeling of
the hour, and took it for granted that
Mr.. Lincoln was there as a mere
| official figure-head, the eliminating
| decoration, so to speak, Of the elabor-
ately planned pageant of the day.
They were, therefore, totally unpre-
pared for what they heard, and could
not Immediately realize that his
| words, and not those of the carefully
selected orator, were to carry the con-
centrated thought Of the occasion like
a trumpet-peal to farthest posterity.
The newspaper records indicate that
| when Mr.. Lincoln began to speak, he
| held in his hand the manuscript first
draft of his address which he had fin
ished only a short time before But
| it is the distinct recollection of the
writer, who sat within a few feet Of
| him, that he did not read from the
written pages, though that impression
| was naturally left upon many of his
| auditors. That 1t was not a mere me-
chanical reading Is, however, more
definitely confirmed by the circum-
stance that Mr.. Lincoln did not de-
liver the address in the exact form in
which his first draft Is written. 1t
was taken down In shorthand by the
reporter for the Associated Press"
| telegraphed to the principal cities, and
printed on the following morning In
| the leading newspapers.

Beauty Within CANYON Walls.

One of the most peculiar and inter-
esting places Oh the American CONT
nent is just being opened up. The
section lies across the diagonal line
that forms the southern boundary of
the State Of Nevada, spreading into
California and reaching almost to the
line Of the Atlantic and Pacific Rail-
road. The old forty-niners passed
through this section during the Cali
fornia gold excitement Many per-
iShed from thirst, and the remains Of
their wagons, such as the tires and
other iron parts, may be found strewn
about the valleys.
Near Resting Springs a man by the
name of Lee has a ranch, an Indian
wife, and a family Of eight children.
Not far from there is what is believed
Of the pioneers, in passing through
that section, picked up piece of lead,
almost pure, and made a sight for his
gun with it. It was SO rich that when
he told the story in civilization pros
pectors started out to locate it. The
fact Of the similarity of all the valleys
led many astray, and they perished
from thirst His description of the
spot applied to so many spots that no
one has ever been able to accurately
locate the mine, but the present own
ers believe they have found it.
The valley adjoining that which is
the route of the Nevada Southern is
called Pahrump. 1t Is described as
the principal one of them all for gold
and silver and lead mines. Up in the
valley, which is one Of those dry, bar
ren sand gulches between two perpen-
dicular walls Of rock, is the Mesquite
stamp mill On one size is the Key
stone gold mine, from which 100000
has been extracted. Up at the head
Of the valley is the Montgomery gold
district. Several miles above the mill
are the Pahrump springs, where a
hardy pioneer has settled in beauti-
full oasis and reared family. Those
who have visited the family say that
away off there, imprisoned by canyon
walls and sandy deserts, is the most
beautiful woman in the West She is
one Of natures queens, and her fame
for beauty is spreading rapidly since
civilization placed its foot in the Pah-
rump valley.
The Pahrump valley has not been
noted for its civilization. A band of
renegade Indians-a mixture of the
Mojaves, Chingowayras and Piutes, all
Of which inhabit that country-have
settled in it. They once had a chief,
and when he died his son was the can
didate for the chieftainship. The tribe
did not want him, and would not elect
him, so they went without head, but
not for long. Tecopa stepped into the
Job, and has since held it, and is look
ed up to as the chief. Chief Tecopa's s
