Th© Unique and Startling experience of
a San Francisco Horse.
A sad eyed horse hitched to a two
wheeled butcher wagon blinked lazily
and whisked flies from himself on Jones
street, between O’Farrell and Geary
streets. He was an ordiuary quadruped
with a large head, which he wore in a
dejected sort of way. as though he was
indulging in melancholy thoughts. Dang
ling from one of the hit rings was the
long hitching rope, which the custodian
of the wagon had neglected to fasten to
a post.
Suddenly the horse cast his eyes to
starboard and slowly wagged his right
ear. An abandoned newspaper had drift
ed down the street and became caught in
the cable slot. The horse was interested.
He lazily wandered over to the track and
examined the paper. The free end of
the hi toiling rope dropped through the
cable slot. Suddenly the horse jumped
clear off the ground, jerked his head up,
plastered his ears close to his bead, reared
on liis hind feet, pawed the air with his
fore feet, gave vent to a loud snort and
stampeded down Jones street.
It was not his fault that he broke his
speed record. This horse was a peace
ful animal, with an inclination to the
plodding career of a plow horse. But he
was compiled to assume a rapid gait
because his rope was wound around the
cable rope and he was propelled by steam,
as it were. On he sped down Joues
street, around the corner and into
O’Farrell street at a gait he had never
traveled before, while veal cutlets, cuts
of beef, porterhouse stakes, kidneys,
lamb cho[>s and liver jogged out of the
wagon and became the trail which the
butcher boy followed frantically in his
efforts to catch his beast.
Nothing got in the way of the horse
but dogs, and they added to his misery
by leaping into the air and snapping at
his nose. An enthusiastic procession of
urchins raced madly in the wake of the
wagon and cheered tho animal on to
greater efforts of speed.
Down three blocks of O’Farrell street
rampaged the equiue, creating as large a
sensation as would a mouse iu a semi
nary. At Powell street his career ended,
The hitching rope came iu contact with
the cross cable of the Powell Street rail
road and was cut in twain. The horse
was holding back so hard that the reac
tion threw him on his haunches, and be
fore he could recover bis equilibrium
half a hundred citizens were holding him
down.
The butcher boy gathered up as much
of his scattered meat as the dogs had not
devoured, and in a few minutes the yel
low horse \va9 plodding iu the wake of a
hay wagon, munching purloined hay.—
San Francisco Examiner.
Chivalry In a llootblack.
On tho comer of one of the business
streets of the city the other morning a
shoeblack had just finished polishing the
shoes of a well dressed and gentle appear
ing man. The latter was unfortunate in
having u deformity which compelled him
to wear a shoe on one of his feet with an
exceedingly thick sole, thus endeavoring
to make up mechanically for what na
ture had denied him.
“How much shall 1 pay you?” he asked
of the boy.
“Five cents, sir.”
“Oh, but you should have more than
five cents for polishing my shoes,” said
the gentleman, tapping the thick sole
significantly with his cane.
“No, sir,” said the boy; “five cents is
enough. I don’t want to make no money
out o’ your hard luck.*'
The customer handed ont a coin, laid
his hand on the youngster’s head for a
moment and passed on.

A Cormier’. Verdict.
A coroner out went recently reasoned
out a verdict more sensible than one-halt
tho verdicts 'Usually rendered. It ap
pears that an Irishman, conceiving that
a little powder thrown upou some green
wood would facilitate its burning di
rected a small stream from a keg upou
tlie burning piece: but not possessing a
hand sufficiently quick to cut ‘bis off
was blown into a million pieces. The
following was the verdict, delivered with
great gravity by the official:
“Can’t bo called suicide, bekase he
didn't mean to kill himself; it wasn't
"visitation of God” bekaso ho wasn't
struck by lightning; be didn't die for
want of breath for be hadn't anything to
breathe with: it's plain be didn't know
what he was about, so I shall bring in
—Did for want of common souse.
Green Dag.
Pulling II Delicately.
He was a couutry parson auil a good
fellow at heart, and ho liked to put it
delicately; and so he finished up his ser
mon Sunday:
“And, in conclusion, my friends, we
will now take up the collection, and i
trust 1 shall offend none of the cheerful
givers who so regularly contribute to,
alas! 1 am afraid, too frequent demands
on their charity, if I suggest that I now
possess a most urnple and varied collec
tion of buttons, and what we chiefly
need now la some needles and thread—
and a little cloth.’’—Exchange.
Kll.ee Beclu.' Prize.
It is now moro than ever probable that
the Academy’s biennial prize of 20,000
francs, which the Due de Broglie declined
will be awarded to M.—or, ns ho prefers
to be called. Citizen—Elisee Reclus. The
special committee has decided already in
bis favor. The only objection to the
choice of this hard working savant, who
is just on the point of bringing ont the
seventeenth volume of his immense
work, “La Geographic Universel,” is to
be found, of coarse, in his political
opinions, which are frankly communistic
and anarchical.
He is, moreover, not only a theoretical
but a practical advocate of “freedom in
everything, 1 ' for some years ago he gave
his two daughters in marriage to their
suitors with no other ceremony than that
of linking the hands of the couples and
giving them his paternal blessing. M.
Reclus, however, has abstained from all
active share in politics for the past
twenty years, so that it is not thought
likely that the Academy will be influ
enced by bis previous history, and its
members probably will vote the £800 to
the learned man who Is aptly described
by his intimates os “a lay monk.”—Paris
Cor. London Telegraph.
Trying Days for the Fat Man.
These are tho days when the man who
tips the scales at 250 and wears the
largest sized collar has a delightful time
on the cars.
He boards the train with a genial smile
—for all fat men are jolly and are born
for the express purpose of laughing their
way through tide vule of tears.
Iu a few moments, however, lie does
not feel half so gay. He fans himself
with his paper, but that only gives the
perspiration a chance to assert itself in
large globules and play tag down bis
neck and chase itself across hisrnbicnnd
face.
He must have tho window up, so he
makes a grab for the side spring and the
lifter. But the window stays right where
It is. He is now hotter than ever.
He wades in mattered expletives. He
anathematizes the railroad corporation.
Ho turns nervously in his seat, bnt his
clothes stick to him liken porous plaster.
He tries to make a dignified swoop for
the ice water tank, but he bnmps into
seat after seat and is forced to make a
dozen apologies, each serving to make
him madder.
And thus he pursues his tortnous jour
ney with wheezes of disgust, while he
swelters and melts and continues to try
to keep cool.—Albany Argus.
Large Herds of Wild Animals*
Though wild game has been decimated
in number within the past few years by
unscrupulous hunters, it is not all gone
yet. Still it is even rare to see even an
antelope closo to the city, though now
and then a small band of blacktail deer
will come down from the Ijills to drink
at the city springs, or a stray elk may be
seen between here and Sheep mountain.
On this account the sight witnessed by
Charles Bock, who came in from North
Park, was an exceedingly interesting
one.
When just this side of Pinkhampton,
neat, the Mountain Homo ranch, about
thirty-five miles from Laramie, he saw
four bull elk, ten deer and a herd of an
telope, so numerous that he could not
count them, grazing altogether in a little
park close by the roadside. He did not
disturb them and they paid no attention
to his presence, so he took a good look.
It reminded him of a visit to the zoolog
ical gardens in some eastern city to see
snch a number and variety of animals
congregated together in so small a space.

Good Plot for s Fare©.
The following singular will case comes
from Hamburg. Home years ago there
died in Schleswig, Germany, a govern
ment official named Nielsen. Some lit
tle time before he died Nielsen be
queathed to his man servant 20,000
crowns and to his cook a like sum, on
the condition that if either of them mar
ried the 20,000 crowns should revert to
the other. As soon as the old gentle
man died, however, the happy possessors
oftnis fortune went to the altar and
were married. The couple then took up
their residence in Hamburg, where they
have resided for the last six years.
Recently there arrived from Copenha
gen a relative of Herr Nielsen, who by
their marriage considered the spirit of
his relative's last will and testament had
been departed from, and demanded the
restitution of the 40,000 crowns. The
matter is now before a court of law.—

Malaria and Broken-Down Constitution
Wavcross, Ga.—Dr. II. Whitehead
Dear Sir—At your request I will state
my case. Some years ago, I contracted
malaria in its most violent form, while
living at Newark, N. J. I consulted va
rious physicians and took numberless
preparations recommended as “sure
cures,” but it stuck to me like a brother
—or more like a mother-in-law. I fi
nally came south, and while here tried
now remedies, said to always cure ma
laria, and it stil 1 stuck to me, and you
know the broken down condition I was
in when I came to you. You put nie to
taking your P. P. P. (Prickly Ash, Poke
Root and Potassium,) and I improved
rapidly, and am to-day in as good health
as I ever was—in fact better. As a rein
edy for a broken down constitution it
has no equal. Yours, etc.,

Worrying about things you can’t help
is as foolish as to throw stones at tho
sun when its shining doesn’t suit you,
Blood will Tell.
Of course it will—that is if it Is good
healthy blood. It will glow In the
cheek, and tell tho story of perfect
physical health. If It does not, if the
complexion is devoid of color, the
muscles weak and flaccid, something Is
wrong, and something ought to bo done
about it at once, for in such cases delays
are dangerous. For torpid liver, “bilious
ness,” and tho thousands and ouo ills to
which these conditions of the system
lead, there Is no remedy in the world
equal to Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical
Discovery. Boils, pimples, eruptions^
scrofulous sores, salt-rheum, and all
kindred diseases are cured by it.
Tho man who simply wants to bo good
enough to get to Heaven, Is not tho man
that the devil wastes'any powder on.

Long Periods.
Miss Prime—Philosophers disagree a3
to which period of life seems the longest
to mankind. What is *your opinion,
doctor?
Doctor (meditatively)—Well, it varies.
In women, for instance, the longest gen
erally is between twenty-nine and thirty.

thirtieth birthdays.—Exchange.

Queer Places to Swarm.
An Itulian organ grinder at Eighth
and Main streets had a rather novel ex-
perience. When he started to grind his
machine a swarm of bees suddenly
poured forth from the barrel and fairly
made the Italian dance to keep out of
their way.
The swarm then took np Its quarters
in the electric light globe just overhead,
and when the electric light man came
along to clean that globe there was an
other seance similar to the first He suc
ceeded in dislodging the insects of in
dustry, however, and the last seen of
them they were wending their flight
heavenward.—Kansas City Journal.

Apparently the wheat crop of 1801 will
be the heaviest ever.harvested in this
country. Not only is the condition of
the crop better than in many years psst
at this time, ont the acreage is the larg

probable crop at between 520,000,000 and
540,000,000 bushels. The greatest yield
hitherto was in 1884, when 518,000,000
