that. 1 was in Denvor. My business
there was to sell pianos and organs.
One night I called at a bonso to see
about the sale ot a piano, and I found
tbe lady murdered in the ball. While
I was standing there, horror-struck
and terrified, several parties came up,
accused me of tbe deed, nnd in ten
minutes a mob bad a rope aroand iny
neck. I was dragged to a tree, given
two minutes to pray, and then pulled
up.”
“ Hung by tbe neck ?"
“ Tes, a regular hangman’s noose,
and the end of the rope made fastand
I wns left swinging.”
“ Great Scott 1 and—and—but yon
didu’t dio?”
“ I duuuo,” softly unswercd tbe pi-
nno man. “ I date my loss of memo
ry from tbe minute they begun pull
ing on the rope. Perhaps I was out
down and resuscitated—perhaps tbe
corpse wns takon oat and buried. As
I told you before, my memory has
sadly failed me.”
The other puzzled over it, blew bis
nose, got red in tbe fuce und finally
blurted out: » .

“ Like as not—like ns not!” bland

They Never Saw a Colored Itluu
Phlldadclphla Recurd,
Most oi the Jewish refugees now in
this city nover saw a colored man un
til thoy arrived in this country, nnd
whon two of tho dusky gomlomen
stepped in yesterday to take n look,
they crentod considerable excitemont
“Whnt’s tho mnttor with those
men ?” asked one of tbo refugeos of
a committeeman.
“Nothing,” was tho answer.
“Ain’t thoy sick ?” was naked.
“No,” the committeeman answered.
“Well, what makes them so block ?”
tbe inqniry came.
“They are negroes,” replied the
committeeman* *;
The foreigner shook bis head, afid
proceeded to examine the colored men
more dooely. A crowd noon gathered
around, and enjoyed the sight im
mensely. Some of them shook hands
with the Africans, bat th« most re
fused. and shrank when the dusky
hands were offered them. The chil
dren and some of the women rim in
alarm when the colored men ap
proached them. The youngsters
clang in terror to the skirts of their
mothers, while the ednlt females were
not so certain bat that the darkies
were sent into the room to scare them
or eat them op- The young colored
men enjoyed the sport tln-mselves,
and tried to talk gibberish to tbe ex
iles. ?
th,
anything else.
“ Sometimes you catch a sucker, too,
put him in brine pretty
plenty or you will lose him, That’s ono
reason why thoy salt a claim.
hsn, again, yon often grub stake*
Mqi< AI
r ell, a -grub stake is a stake that the
boys hang their grub on so they can
carry it. Lots of mining mon have
been knocked oold by a blow from a grub
stake. ”
“What I wanted to say, though, was
this: "Spy will probably at first strike
bee-milling poverty, with indications of
something else. Then yon will no doubt
sink till yon strike bod-rock, or a true
fissure gophor hole, with traces of dis
appointment
“That’s the time to pat in yon «nlt
Ton can Bhootit into the shaft v:t a
double-barreled shot-gun, or Wot . ud
apply it with a whitewash hr" Y If
l>cople turn up their noses at im
then, nnd say it is n snide, a icy
think there is something rotten in Den
mark. you can tell them that they are
clear off, and that you have salted your
claim and that you know you nro all
right."
The last seen of tho tenderfoot he was
baying a double-barreled shot-gun and
feu iHiuiuls of rock-salt.
There's no doubt lmt n mining camp
is the place to soud a young man who
wnnts to acqniro knowledge and fill his
system full of information that will be
useful to him so long os he lives.—Mill

A deed lately recorded in Pittsfield,
Mass., that J- R. conveyed to Mary
L. certain ^Wbprrty 4 ”»consideration
of $1 and Maty’* love and affection.
A 81/ERZrsO SCREE.
Probably one of the meanest stago
tricks that waa ever played was played
on Mary Anderson. It will bo remem
bered that, in tho play of “ Ingomar,”
Forthonia and tho barbarian hnvo sev
eral love scones, whore they lop on each
other nnd hug some—that is, not too
mnoh hugging,but just hugging enough.
Ingomar wears a huge far garmont,
made of lion's skin, or something. Ono
day ho noticed that the moths were get
ting into it, and lio told his servant to
soo about tho moths and drive them
out Tho servant got some insect pow
der and blow tho hair of the garmont
full of it and scrubhod tho insido of it
with bonzino. Ingomar pnt it on jast
boforo ho went on tho Rtago, and thought
it didn’t smell jnst right bnt ho hnd no
timo to inquire into it He had not got
fairly into his position before Porthouia
on mo ont on a hop, skip and jump, and
threw herself all over him. Bho got
ono laog fall of insect powder and tho
other fall of bonzino, and as sho said,
“ Wilt alwnys love me, Ingomar f" she
dropped her bead over his shoulder' and
said in an aside “For the love of heaven,
what have you been drinking?" and
then the sneezed a couple of times. In-
gomar hold her up tho beet ho oould,
considering that his nose waa full of
insect powder, and he answered, “I
wilt,” and then he said to her quietly,
"Dam-flno what tt is that smells so*"
They went on with tbe play between
when the curtain went
down she told Ingomar to go out and
him-elf, and he did. It was no
in tl.e next set that Ingomar had a
