| The Boston papers are full of anec-
 dotes about the late Judge E. R. Hoar
 Some of them are as follows:
 Judge Hoar had grim, sardonic hum
 or a keenly cutting wit. He saw hum
 or in every situation. This trait came
 out strongly during the weeks that he lay dying. He looked up one night at
 his son Samuel, the counsel of the Bos- ton & Albany, and said: "The doctors and ministers may do their best, but
 they can never make this dying either
 popular or fashionable"
 One time shortly before the end, when
 it was thought that he was dying,
 though he rallied later, he said to one of the family, who had anxiously in- quired about his hoarseness: There is a rattle here, and there WAS rattle at the other end of life, and, do you know, I believe I prefer the earlier kind of rat tle." One of his sons, in talking over business with the judge, remarked: "Well, father, I've settled that Coffin matter" referring to western estate in which the judge was interested The latter glanced from the pillow and said dryly: Don't you think you are lit tie premature?"
 At the time of the signing of the treaty between this country and Eng land in 1871, Lord Tenterden, having signed and affixed his seal, asked Judge Hoar, who was one of the American commissioners, if he had any family seal of his own, or any family crest. "None except a sleeve button that may answer the purpose, my family being without any other insignia" answered the judge.
 After the dinner to Edward l.. Pierce he read the report of his brothers state ment that, in his opinion, those present would never look upon Judge Hoar's face again, and he read, too Charles Francis Adams assertion that the judge had pair of sleeve buttons, giv- en him by Governor Andrew, which he (Judge Hoar) had promised to leave to MT. Adams. The judges eyes twinkled and calling one of his sons to him he said: "Well, young man, think that my friends hardly expect me to last 6lCclt WulllC iOllSViJ l llldI NcOISG has given me up, and Charley Adams has already begun to administer my eff fects."
 q remember" said one of his friends, "hearing the judge make a speech at a noon meeting in Faneuil hall in the campaign of 'S4. The judges sons were supporting Cleveland. He made only one allusion to their de- fection and to the Mugwump defection generally, Some of the boys have seen fit to go out from the home in which they have been sheltered and nurtured, to leave thus all the associations of their lives suppose they have per feet right to this. but I will say that I think it would have been in better taste if they had not slammed the door quite so hard when they left home"

Gnmes Of chnnce In rucson.

You go out at 7:30 o'clock to dine in a little French restaurant located in what is known as Church Plaza. You hear the tinl1le of the sanctuary bell from the little Catholic church at the oppo- site side of the square, and you see the devout Mexicans flocl1ing to evening prayer. You have just had time to be- gin to ponder on the deeply religious character of the town, when sound very different from that of the sano- tuary bell falls upon your ear. Key 10! key-now shouts a man from the steps of a famous saloons and gambling establishment, and then the games in the leading house begin for the night A motley crowd assemblies around the table. You have men in every branch of !business-lawyers commercial men, politicians, professional men of every class. Tn the poorer class of houses Mexicans, white men, and Chinese in- discriminatory mix. AM are equal to the game of chance, and the Chinese are the heaviest gamblers of the lot.
 But gambling, as other features of caller years, is dying out in Tucson. Not since the days of the fiesta has it been carried on in thoroughly frontier fashion. These fiestas were nothing more than a relic of Ibarbarism. Here, nightly, at the gaming tables, you would meet those who put on the airs of gentillty and who were wont to rank as the elite of the land. Here were to be found ladies dressed in silk, their hands glittering with diamonds, their husbands representing vast business houses-mingling with Chinese and the lowest Mexicans, playing chuses or roulette. Here they tried to win the money of the common herd, and, by some inscrutable freak of the flckle goddess, they and the Chinese did win nearly all. Picture to yourself some eighty canvas houses, surrounding the four sides of a square, in the centre of which Is large canvas tent used for dancing. When the fiesta was in full blast the scene was one of pandemon- iumA The other houses were used for the sale of whlslkey and as places for gambling tables of which some forty were always running, harvesting the fools money. Here were gathered nightly from 1000 to 2,O0o people of all classes and all nations, gambling, drink ing, and bowling like coyotes. These festas or celebrations were fought by Governor Hughes for years and aJ last they were abolished. From the date of their suppression commenced the oppo- sition to him by a certain section of the community Arizona Correspondent to St. Louis Globe-Democrat

At the Opening of the Market Feeling O Hesitancy Prevailed.
 New York, Feb. 19.-It was anothet quiet day at the stock exchange, tho traders having held aloof pending tn, outcome of the efforts of certain sena tors to pass a free silver coinage bill There was also disposition to awai the result of the government bond of ferlng by the Belmont-Morgan syndi cate. In regard to the former it can be said that nobody on the street believed for moment that a free silver bill car become a law, and for that reason the efforts of the free silverites only ex- cited mild interest. The bond pros pectus was issued after business hours and contained nothing of importance that was not known for the past few days. The subscription books are to be opened tomorrow and the syndicate reserves the right to allot the bonds as it deems best. The best authorities believe that the bonds will be largely oversubscribed.
 At the opening the market was quiet and feeling of hesltancy prevailed, but this soon gave way to f1rmness and prices moved up 4 to 19s per cent. Jer- sey Central, Lackawanna, Delaware and Hudson, Cordage and New England, the grangers, Chicago Gas and Sugar, were all prominent in the rise. The strength of the last named was due to the ad- vance in refined sugar. The declaration of the regular quarterly dividend by the Burlington and Quincy had no ef- feet on the stock. The Canadian Pa cific directors were also to act on divi- dend matters to-day but failed because of a lack of quorum.
 After the advance noted prices yield ed all along the line. Sugar fell IA to 91%, Jersey Centraf 1A to Ssss,. Lack awanna 1 to 1562 and the rest of the list h to B per cent Louisville and Nashville was lower on the decrease of 1880 in the earnings for theSsecond week of February, and Erie on the old talk about foreclosure and heavy as- sessments. B4
 In the last hour, however, the market improved and the decline was partially recovered and speculation closed firm. In the specialties American Tobacco broke 21s to 89@S9% and National Starch first preferred on sales of only 450 shares dropped 10 to 37. The stock closed 3S bid and 39 asked. Long Island Trac- ton rallied to 91k The stockholders are to meet tomorrow to bring about means to break the lease to the Brook lyn City railroad.
 The bond market was higher Sales were s67400O.

It is Something Widely Different From the Snow Flurries of the East. [Trom the Chicago Tlmcs.l
 "A blizzard is something which tht man who has been out in one will neve: forget, and it impresses one with the awful blower of nature, as the slow. moving, funnel-shaped cyclone does and one who knows these dreadful win. ter storms would no sooner encounter them than he would a cyclone.
 q was up on the Northern Pacific in the early days of March, 1882. The win ter had been remarkable for it's open ness, and the whole northwest had been bathed in sunshine for months. Some cold weather had been experienced, but the old settlers were congratulatine themselves upon their comparative inn munity from extreme weather, when, Friday, March B. think it was just about noon, the wind swung into the north and northwest, and one of the most dreadful storms that ever swept the western prairies came bowling and shrieking down upon the unsus- pecting folk.
 "The wind blew a gale fully sixty miles an hour, the snow filled the air like a fog and obscured all objects as a curtain would do. and the mercury dropped out of sight the spirit ther- mometers registering forty-five degrees below zero. It was impossible to live in the storm, A young telegraph ope- rator had taken charge of the Northern Pacific station at Jamestown that very day. In the early evening he started down the principal street to deliver a message to the Roman Catholic priest A man stepped out on the street for moment and through the shrieking of storm heard a call for help, and, fol- lowing the direction of the sound, came to the young operator frozen nearly to death in the snow, not twenty feet away. I helped restore the young fel- low. but he was dreadfully frozen, and 1t was long before he recovered.
 "That was only one incident, but 1t H. lustrates how completely at it's mercy the DllZZhTQ nOlu5 llo NlSlAAAA5f SFSAp "A the thoroughfares of towns of consider able size. Out upon the prairies the ef- fects are infinitely worse. How many a poor devil, caught out in one of them, has travelled round and round in cir cle until overcome with exhaustion and exposure, he has sunk down in the dry snow to his death! Tn the storm of which I speak I recall that one mother at Stubborn, a few miles east of James, town, went out that day to feed the stock in the barn; taking with her a small child. The, distance from the house was but few hundred feet, but when the storm was over and the sun shone forth again mother and child were found the latter clasped close in his mothers last embrace, a few feet from the sheltering barn. They had wandered, perhaps for hours, with the stinging snow in their faces, every flake like a needle prick, binding them and hiding from view the warm places of shelter SO near at hand"

The Cunning Bird is Bound 10 tome Oul
 Ahead of You-The Bird Has Trick ol
 Two in His Trade.
 From the New York Sun.l
 "A crow is the slickest bird flying when it wants to be-" said Lige Thom- ner, as he sat on the edge of a soap box at Williams store at Long Hill Center, Conn, land to prove it will tell cir cumstance that occurred when a party of us were camping at Canaan noun tain pond last fail
 'There were an almighty lot of crows around the hut we occupied, and one day brought out my gun and shot into a flock. All escaped my shot except one which was lying on the ground wounded. I went to the place and picked the wounded bird up and found that it's left leg had been broken by the shot. Taking the crow to the hut ann putated the leg, and taking a hot coal from the fire burned the stump so that it would not bleed. The bird was then allowed to go at liberty, but, instead of leaving the vicinity of the camp, it hung around, and the boys would feed it with crumbs from the table, and 1t became quite tame. It would come limping into camp just like 8 veteran after his pension.
 At about meal time the crow could be expected at first, but at last it's wis., its became more frequent. One of the boys hinted that the bird we were feed ing was not the victim of my gunshot, and in Investigating this theory we found out what a great deceiver the crow is. Up the alley leading to the spot where the bird had been in the habit of receiving its food there hopped one day a fine black crow. There was nothing about the bird to show that 1t was not the same one that had been the object of our bounty so long. It had only one leg so far as we could see.
 "'I'll bet that ain't our crow said Charley.
 Yes it is. too.' I says; it has only one leg
 You wait and see,' says Charley, and away he hurried and returned with his gun. Raising it and taking careful aim he fired, and the bird stretched over on the ground dead. We made an examination. and sure enough the bird had two legs as good and sound as any bird flying. When it had come into our camp it had hitched the other up under it's wing so as to deceive us and secure food. It must have watched us feeding the wounded bird and saw an opportrl- nifty of securing food by initiating that one. All crows are so near alike there l is no. identifying one, and the only way we new ours was by the one leg | Whe. such a clever imitator attacked | us we were badly fooled. do not know | what became of the real wounded bird. | It never showed up after the other was | killed. I don't know but that we had | been feeding the bogus bird for the real | one for weeks before we found out our mistake as it was"

They Knew the Ways of the Road and
 Were Up to All Tricks They Also Knew
 Their Rights and Maintained Them.
 lFrom the Louisville Courier-Journal.l
 Seven female tramps beat their way on south-bound Louisville and Nash vile train on Monday night from High land Park, There were two women and five girls, two of whom seemed to be about eighteen years old. The women and older girls were large and raw boned. The station-keeper at Highland ? Park said the women showed that they had nerve. They first attracted his at- tention when they tramped into his of- flee and asked him to flag the south bound train.
 Where do you want to go?" he asked.
 ITO Corinth, Miss" answered one of the women.
 Why, this train won't take you to Corinth," the station-keeper said.
 Well, it'Il take us part of the way, anyhow" the woman replied.
 Let's see your tickets. Where do they take you?" asked the station-keep- CT, extending his hand.
 "We haven't got any tickets, that's the reason we are at this forsaken spot" the spokeswoman answered, with laugh.
 She then said they were all from Indi- ana.
 They were moneyless and wanted to get back to Corinth, Miss, where they came from originally. They had deter mined to beat their way back home, and had done it so far. They showed much knowledge of tramping and beat ing their way over the railroads. They said they had been put off at Louisville. They did not attempt to get on the train at Tenth street, Louisville, or at South Louisville, because the train stopped long enough for the conductor to find out they had no tickets, and they would at once be put off. They never boarded train at any place ex- cept at a flag station.
 There the train stopped just long enough for them to get on, and was go- ing at full speed before it was discov- cred that they had no tickets. The conductor seldom stopped his train un- til station was reached
 The staltion-keeper told the women he could not flag the train for them. The women were about to leave discour- aged, when the train appeared In the distance They waited for the train, on the chance that it might be carrying passenger for Highland Park A few hundred yards from the station the train began to slow up. The women made ready to jump on. Before the train had stopped the lone passenger for Highland Park, Dr. Hawes of the charity organization appeared on the platform. All the women made rush for the platform, and in their haste knocked the doctor down. The train kept on, and came near carrying the doctor off with it before he could regain his feet and spring on the station plat form,

Over the Verge.

During the fall of 1877, just after the expedition which had resulted in the running down and capturing of Chief Joseph and his band of warriors, my troop was detached to make a scout from Camp Brown down through the Rattlesnake range to the Platte river, and from there to the Yellowstone by way of the Goose Creek trail.

natural and easy position and her
death must have been painless.
She had been ailing for a few
days with a bad cold, but other
wise was as we'll as usual.
