Ilalf-way up a great California moun¬ tain, upon a shelf or level space called Johnson's Flat, a few sheds and cabins clustered about the shaft of the Monte Christo mine. One of these cabins—tiie best of them all—was occupied by the superintendent of the mine. lie was Doctor Green, and he had been a successful surgeon in an Eastern city. Ill health had compelled him to remove to these parts, and he had taken up the occupation of mining. Down the mountain, to Gaylord’s sta¬ tion on the Pacific RaiDoad twelve miles away, led a narrow cart-path, called a “grade” here. It was wide enough for only one wagon, except in two or three places where turn-outs had been cut into the side of the mountain. In such places a wagon might wait for another to pass; and teams going up had the right ot way. There was very little travel on the road. The descentfrom the cuter edge of tils path was often almost perpendicu! r. One bend, where the road wound around a promontory, was called Dead Man's Point, because tradition had it that a man and a horse and wagon had gone over the grade he/e, and had been dashed to pieces on the rocks below. Mexican There was |y F employed fcalled Pete. about the lie mine L.ithfD'^^Rfcm-working was fflit .*JH boy, and had i,i one Ligh^Ag,” enc • tho world. That was “Old an unusually large mule—heavy,Jbony, and extremely vic¬ ious. This mule was used to haul the refuse from the mouth of the mine to the dump, and was generally attached to a heavy and very strong two-whecled cart. Most of the men employed about the mine were much afraid of the animal, for ho was always ready to use his teeth or his heels. lie seemed to bear a particular spite toward Pete, and had at one time, in¬ deed, bitten and kicked him so severely that the boy’s life was despaired of. Pete certainly would have beeu killed if Dennis McCarthy, the owner of the mule, had not interposed just in time to save his life. As it was, Pete was badly hurt, and might not have recovered if Mrs. Green, the superintendent's wife, bad not taken him to her cabin and nuTscd him back'to life. The grateful boy had the deepest affection for Mrs. Green after this, and the deadliest fear of Old Lightning. One day in May, when the supply wagon from Johnson’s Flat returned from Gaylord’s with a load, loau, a a telegram xeicgram from tho East was brought to Ain. Green. It stated that her her niece, uiccc, an in valid, had been takcu worse, and had been ordered to go to California imme¬ diately; and that she would arrive at Gaylord’s on the following Monday. Preparations were made at once to meet the invalid young lady at the sta tion and bring her up the mountains as comfortably as possible. The camp wagon was stuffed with mattresses and pillows, and a safe team of mules pro vided. Pete was to he taken as driver. He was an excellent driver, understood the use of the brake, knew the road per fec^v, Lightning. anil was afraid of nothing except Old The train from the East was due at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, but was scldom on time, and had lately been many hours late on accouut of a washout. Arrangements were made, there'ore. for Mrs. Green and the invalid girl to rc main at Gaylord’s overnight; aud noone at Johnson’s Flat expected them M e c.«u y ing refuse to the dump with his big mule sus that the mule was more than usually fractious. The day’s work was nearly done. The sun was approaching the tops of the pJs^g,°madc Just at this a* time l, one of the men, in the old mule. Quick as a flash he ning up the hillside in J 2 chip bushes; but the mule had become and urged on b, the loaded cart him and frightened brths noise it dashed furiously on down the with Dennis in full pursuit at an widening distance behind, The men, who were just leaving mine, g ithered at a place where grade was plainly visible all the way Dead Men’s Point, nearly two miles low. “Sure.” sai d one of the miners, “I hope thec^^^^^^^nthe gr.wje lo* no danger to any one but Old Lightning, and I’m thinking he'li never cart any more tailings.” Among the others who stood lookiug down the grade was the superintendent, Doctor Green. The flying cart and mule were momentarily lost sight of at a slight curve, and most of the meu were looking at the figure of Dennis far be¬ hind, but running as if his life depended upon it. Suddenly the superintendent he uttered an exclamation of horror, and and several others rushed forward to the edge of the flat. Just coming into view at Dead Man’s Point, and turning the curve so that the precipice was at its very wheel, was the camp wagon. In it were Mrs. Green, the invalid girl, and Pete; and the mule and heavily loaded cart were almost up¬ on them. There was barely enough room for one wagon. They must go over the grade, fall the dreadful distance and be crushed below. The people at the mine did not know exactly what happened until Mrs. Green was ab'e to tell her story; and this is what she said: “As soon as we reached Gaylord’s we learned that the Overland train had been telegraphed as on time, greatly to the surprise of every one; and at eleven o’clock it arrived with my niece, Alice, on board. “IVe took dinner at Mrs. Atwood’s, where we had arranged tired to stay ovc. night; and as niece was of travel, and as I knew that tho accommodations we had prepared for her at home were better than she could obtain at Gaylord's I made up my mind to push on up the mountain. “As we were driving away, Mrs At¬ wood called to us, and came running out with a large blue cotton umbrella. “ ‘You’d better take this,’ she said; ‘you arc going just away from the sun, and it will shine in at the back of the wagon and make the poor girl uncom¬ fortable if you don’t have something to shade her.’ “IVo took it, although I hardly thought it would be neecssury to spread it. “The mules kept along at the rate of about three oViock or four miles ai^hour, approaching so * that at five wc were Dead Man’s Point. “Alice, lying back upon her pillows, had been much charmed all the way by the scenery. So, as wc came to Dead Mau's Point, and stopped to allow the team to take breath, 1 called her atten¬ tion to the grandeur of the view here. “But she could hardly look at it, she was iu such fear of the deep chasm of the canon on our left hand, which wc seemed almost to overhang. “While wc looked, and I assured her (L-at there was not the slightest danger, I heard ail exclamation from Pete. Look¬ iug up the grade, I saw, coming like a whirlwind around a little bend, Old Lightning, with his heavy cart bounding i behind him. i “I saw it as one secs objects revealed by a flash of lightning iu a dark night. Instantly I thought of our fate, for noth¬ ing could stop him, and when ha struck us we must be hurled over the precipice. , “I was paralyzed with fear; every¬ 1 thing turned black before me.

He himself could have told with what emotions he met the little procession on its way up to the camp. His services as a doctor were needed by ali three of the peoplo in the wagon, by poor mangled Pete, who lay uncon¬ scious; by the sick girl, now fainting; and by his wife, upon whom a nervous reaction had fallen. But his skill was equal to the need. One of Pete’s logs was broken, and ho had suffered other injuries. The bone was set and the wounds dressed; and Mrs. Green, who soon recovered her own strength, nursed him carefully a r tenderly.

Flower Making in Paris. “The manufacture of flowers and also of feathers for millinery purposes in France is a family affair,” said O. B. Tennis, the well-known importer, after a two months’ stay in Paris. “For in¬ stance,” continued Mr. Tennis, “one family devotes itself to the making of loses and &>es nothing else. Tho man ami his wifo are equal partners and the children, and sometimes young relatives, who come up from the country for that purpose, assist in the work. Notwith¬ standing the tact that France furnishes the largest proportion of these goods for the world, there is not within its limits what wo here in America know as a manufactory for making them. Each worker is a specialist, and those who work with him are individually interest¬ ed in the work. Nothing is scamped or slurred. “There are some of these people," said Mr. Tennis, “whoare real artists.
