Enthusiastic Firemen.

There Is nothing like the enthusiasm of
the amateur fireman. Down on Staten Is
land a certain fire company has sliding
bar placed in its quarters recently. When
the bell summons the firemen from their
homes they run to the engine house, rush
up stairs, coil their legs round the bar
and descend in graceful procession to the
ground floor. OF them it might well be
said that the labor they delight in physics

Misplaced Sympathy.

Under spreading elm near the reptile

lies namclcss grave. A simple little
rounded mound of earth, with no stone to
mark it, but carcsscd by tho soft tendrils
of clinging ferns and moss, rcposcs at tho
foot Of tho forest Titan. 1t has been there
many years-so many years that mono of
tho keepers now employed about the gar
dcns remembers when or how it camo
there. Thousands of curious people havo
strolled unhecding by the little grave, and
not ono has turned aside to shed Il tear.
Yes, thoro was one. He was tall, slender
young man, with n soulful and melancholy
eye. Ho found the little grave, and ho

1t is, the conditional transfer of the

A Rich District.

Mr NJ. Eeeney, who is one of the best known prospectorS in the west, arrived yesterday from lndio, says the Tombstone Prospector, where news had just been received of one of the most remarkable strikes on record. The story learned by Mir. Feeney, and which he is inclined to credit is that a man named Smith and his partner discovered wonderfully rich placer ground about l2 miles cast of the Car 70 Muchacho, where they picked up by hand Sl600 worth of nuggets in nine days, they having no dry washer and no water to pan it with.
 Mr. Feeney says that the locality is one of the most dangerous on the whole desert, aud that it would be suicidal for anyone not familiar with trails and location of water holes to go there without having competent In dian guides. He is satisfied, though, that the entire range from lndio to Yuma is rich in gold, and that the story is very possible and probable one.
 This find, combined with the Me Henry boys bonanza near lndio' is likely to boom things on the desert.
