MAKING A REPUTATION. A Western paper tells of a scene that took place In a Texas frontier town, ns follows:—As Dusenbery walked into Cal- Lilian's Retreat, the habitues saw at n glauoo that something was about to hap pen, and something did happen) for m nhout half a minute thoro entered four oi tho most ferocious-looking ruffians who hod over licen seen in Fort Worth. They come with clanking spurs and fierce hoards, two revolvers to each Ition and n largo bowio knife for logninppo, olid they sat down to a table aud colled for wliiHky around. A tremor ran through tho assembly. Fort Worth's host citizoiiH wore for a moment staggered. But Dusoubory novor quailed. On the con trary ho almost snorted with joy as ho his opportunity to make a reputation James Lick left $150,000 to ostablisl aud maintain free baths in San Francis- One of tlio trustees, Dr. Stillman now proposes to iuerouso (ho fund by popular subscription to $250,000, aud to erect salt wator butli3 largo enough for tho accommodation of tlio whole city, A movement is on foot in Now York and elsewhere to rniso a fund for tlio erection of a monument Over tlio grave of Charlotte Cushman, tho actress, nt Mount Auburn, Boston.

The nearest of tho fixed stars is twenty trillions(20,000,000,000,000) of miles dis tant from us. The next in distance is four times farther removed. If wo at tempt to fix an average distnneo for the surrounding group of fixed stars nearest our system, wo could not safely' give it n radius of less than 400 trillions of miles. Yet wlint does this involve? Light, which reaches us from the sun in eiglil and a half minutes, would take seventy years in its journey across this vast ‘domain of space. If the volume of space included within our solnr system were oc cupied with one huge sphere of 5,000,000 - 000 miles diameter, even siteii a mighty mass would be but ns a floating feather in tlio marvelous spread of empty spnc surrounding. This space would contain twenty-seven hundred trillions of such spheres, and would contain tlio ma terial contents of our solar system a number of times indicated by tlio figure 6 with twenty-two ciphers annexed. An undertaker in Philadelphia re cently advertisod for a full bearded man of middlo age and of good address, and explained tliat he wanted him to visit families which deatli had entered to take instructions regarding the funeral, etc.., aud that there is something aliont a boarded man that inspires respect and confidence.

A collection was then taken up for his benefit among tho members of the embassy, and ho was invited to refresh himself with a luucli of delicate confections. As a matter of courso his singular experience was known to every beggar in town within twenty-four hours, ami tlio legation has been besieged over sinco by unprepossessing visitors. A correspondent of The Boston Pott, writing about tho remnants of Indian tribes surviving in Massachusetts, says "It is believed by those who have an op portunity to know, that no Indian of pure aboriginal blood, is now a resident tlio commonwealth, they having from time to tiino intermarried with tlio whites and those of African descent Counting all those who liavo Indian blood iu their veins in the State, iu tho vestiges of tribes remaining, there to-day not far from 1,000 persons, em braced in 225 families, and it must bo borne ill mind that tlio numbers con tained in tlicso tribes have been in creased for ovor 200 years. ft is a very significant fact Unit no tribe now exist ing is increasing numerically in tlio com monwealth.” for courage. Those men were strangers, lie was hacked by a large number of Fort Worth’s sharpshooters | yea, lio would lick a fuss with them, and henceforth be mown as a terror, lie had not long to ait. Tlio strangers empt ied their glasses, called for more, and then, glancing ma lignantly around, they launched forth in furious ifi mso of Texas and Texans, their language being garnished with that pro fusion and ornamentation of profanity poculior to tho guileless cattle-droVcf. As they ceased, Dusenbery,having taken iu tho situation at a glance, arose aud advanced toward tlio strangers. Tlio Fort Wortli men put up their pistols aud sunk back in breathless anmzemont ns Dusimhery marched up to the table at which the strangers sat. His flashing eyes, his heaving breast, ids live feet of towering form reduced the spectators to spccchlcsnucHS. Even tlio strangers paused and seemed Impressed, “Gentlemen,” said Dusenbery, diving into his trousers and bringing up an ancient silver watch, “you liavo wounded tho finest feelings of my nnturo in your remarks about Texas, and you must re- trnct thorn, or—but nover mind. I give you llvo minutes to retract it. Five min utes to soouro your Hate return to homo anil friends. Five minutes to avoid a grave upon tho loncsomo plaiiiH. Five minutes I" An awful silence fell upon tlio crowd Tho blood curdled ill tlio vein of every Fort Worttiiiui present. What i lnul they boon treating this fire-eating Terror with ftoarcoly veiled contempt? Hiui they boon absolutely courting dealh for yearn But just then ono of the strangers re covered his power of speech nnd suid : “Why, stranger, if you feel that wav about it, of course we’ll out it short. We didn’t mean it for you or any of your friends, but was just talking oil loose liko. ** And with that they all four got up and slunk out, their six-shooters flopping feebly against their hips, and their spurs looking drooped and weedy tut they went. With the closing of tho dour, Dusenbery’s ev<> reeled in its sockot. The excitement which lnul tlins far held him tip gave way and bo collapsed, a flabby little heap upon tlio floor. Tho assembled citizens crowded round him, eager to offer attention to tho hero of tho hour, and lit lust ho wiih rehabilitated sufllei- tly to admit of his being sent homo in argo of a special and coiiiidontiifi friend. SPOTTING THE SPOTTERS. , Herrin Mritns St Whlrh ltnllrea* D»» Irrllvr* ere I'minil 0*1. •The present system of spotting is a pretty clover Way of liemL'ng oil dishon- osty, 1 ’ said tho reporter to a s.oopmg ear porter who was brushing him. 1 pre sume it Works like a charm ?’ “Oh, ocrtailily it worliH like a charm. That is, it costs tlio company thousands of dollars wero it saves tlio company thousands of cents. We just sit still and lot those fellows get on to us—wo do,” ami tho sleek mulatto chuckled audibly iih lie ngun applied the brush to the roportdfial overcoat. “Every spot ter iH known to us tho moment lie sets his foot upon the platform, and it is sel dom one of tho bloodhounds has an op- lortunltv to do any spotting.

Dusenbery stopped, looked all around to see if any ono wero passing, pulled his friend’s ear close down to bis lips, and whispered: , r I’d have extondod tho time.’ —New them and you can easily, guess how I know him to bo a spotter." Tlio porter led the way to ono of the apartments of tho ear, and picking up one of tlio hoots hold tlio solo upper most, allowing three X's cut on tlio heel of tho hoot. "That's the way we size ’em up, said tha porter with a triumphant smile. “It was a close call, and if I hiuln t shined his bools lie might have gone through unobserved.

Presently a curious incident occurred. Tlio gun-boat hud been looking into some of tlio inlets and had not seen the schooner.
