Dodge. Rack to Rack. A rowdy cannot end tiro tho sight of a well-dressed tuan. It acts upon him as a rod shawl upon a hull. Some years ago, as two young gentlemen were go¬ ing home from a party in Philadelphia, they wero attacked by a gang of row dies. The youths worn brothers, and noted for iheir boxing. Standing back to back, they knocked down their as¬ sailants as fast as they came at them. In a few minutes the towdies lied Similar tactics once saved two English anglers from being bitten by a pack of fierce dogs. As they wore passing a farm-house, a large dog, whose barking and glaiing eyes announced his rage, dashed at them. Catch up some8tonos and stand back to back, or he’d worry us,’ ciied the elder. Armed with as many stones as they could pick tip, they put themselves in position and waited the chargo. But the dog did riot attack. Ho evidently thought the position too formidable for him >o carry by assault. Alter circling round tlie men two or three times, he returned to the farm-house. The anglers, congratulating them¬ selves on the success of their tactics, pressed onward. They had just passed over the brow of a bill when a chorus of ‘Yelp, yelp, yelp!'announced another and more dangerous att ck. Wo aro hunted.' shouted one to the other; 'more atones, and stand firm, or we are dead men*’ Filling tboT pockets and hands with stones, tho two men again stood back to back, and waited anxiously ibe at tack. On came tho large dog, with four other dogs, all open mouthed and barking furiously, They, too, had their tactics. They began by circling round the anglers, and gradually drew nearer and nearer. A well-aimed stone struck the leader of the pack on tho head and rolled him over. Another stone hit a second dog on tho side and sent him out of the cii cie howling with pain. Then the pack halted, retreated some distance, and again began to circle round the men. Sullenly they went round, until, seeing no chance for an assault, they went slowly off over the hill. The anglers wont their way, specu¬ lating as to the method by which the large dog persuaded his four compan¬ ions to join him in assaulting his ene¬ mies, A noted minister of fhn gospel relates that when he first started out in his profession he preached one morning, and so much to his own satisfaction, that when be sat down he looked over the audience expecting some demonstra¬ tion of their approval. Rut an old Scotch minister rose to make the con¬ cluding prayer and in it he said: ‘And now, Lord, we pray Tbee to bless our young brother, and prick him, and let all the wind out of him.’ The young preacher said he earns down out of that pulpit deeply humiliated, but it was a lesson be never forgot, and owing to its teaching he rose to great eminence in his profession. Intellect: * ‘Do you really believe that an asa ever spoke to Balaam?’ queried a man who prided himself on his intellect. Coleridge, to whom the question was put, replied: • My frieud, I have no doubt whatever that the story is true. 1 have been spoken to in the same way myself.’ The man of the inquiring mind retired for medL tatioQ. •HANDS UP ” The Importance of Retting the ‘Drop’ in Colorado Traveling;. Catch a rut in a trap, and lie will fight. Trap a mao, and—well, you rely , cant on him. It L* according to the trap. In the heavy stage coach, a we roll out of Leadvilie, says a frontier letter, are seveu meu. Cue is an army ollicer who has half a dozen scars to prove his bravery. Cut off from his command on the plains last summer by a score of Indians, bo entreuched him¬ self and fought the band off until help arrived. Two of the others are despe¬ radoes, who have killed their men. Three of the others are stalwart miners, each with two revolvers, and they look as if they would prove ugly customers in a fight, The Beventh man might do some shooting uu a pinch, but he hopes then wiil be no pinch. Iu the crowd are ten revolvers, two derringers, three repeat¬ ing rides, and four or five bowie knives, and there is perfect good feeling as the j stage rolls along. It is tacitly under stood that tho army captain is to assume command iu caso the coach is attacked, and that all are to keep cool and lire to kill. j It is ten o’clock in the morning. The I windows aro down and tho passengers j are smoking and talking and seeking I for comfortable positions. Tho coach , has just . „ reached ...... the top of f a hill, . ... when , i I every horse is suddenly pulled up. j ‘If it’s a bear we’ll have some fun,’ | growled one of the minors', as ho put his head out of tho window. •If it’s a robber, gin mo fust pop at t iro,’ whispered one of tho desperadoes. No one couid say w hat the trouble was, when a wiry little chap, about five foot six inches tall, with black eyes and j hair, clean face and thin lips, appeared at tho left hand door with a cocked revolver in either hand ana said: 'Gents, I am sorry to disturb you, but I've got to make a raise this morning. Please ieave yoqr shooters and climb down here one at a time/ It was sudden. It was so sudden that it took ten seconds to understand the drift of his remarks. Then every eye turned to the right hand door, and the two revolvers held by a second iob~ bor wero seen at tho upon window. It was a trap. The rats wero caught, and would they fight ? ‘Gents, I’m growing a leetle impa* tient, continued the'first robcer, ‘and I want to see the procession begin to move.’ Let’s see. The Captain was to lead us, and we were to be cool aud fire to kill. But the Captain was growing white around the mouth, and nobody bad a weapon iu baud, Tho rats were not going to fight. Ono of the miners opened the door and descended, and i the other six humbly followed. The seven were drawn up in tho line across the road, aud while the robber held his shooter on the liue, he coolly observed to his partner : ‘Now, William, you remove the weap¬ ons from the coach, and then search those gentlemen.’ As William obeyod, T7 i"-’ every "Jj victim was U ' ordered to . . hold his hands t above his i head, aud whatever plunder was taken | from bis pockets was dropped into! j William's hat. Four gold watches, two diamond pins a telescope, a dia mond ring, a gold badge, and $1,200 in cash changed hands in ten minutes. Not a man had a word to say. The driver of the coach did not leave bis seat, aud was not interfered with. Whet the last man had been plundered,^ the genteel Dick Turpin kindly observ- | .
