What the Colonel's bnainess was no­ body knew, nor did anybody care par­ ticularly. He purchased for cash only, and never grumbled at the price of any­ thing he wanted. Who could ask more than that? Cursous people occasionally wondered how, when it hnd been fully two years eince the Colonel, with every one else, abandoned Dutch Creek to the Chinese, he managed to spend money freely and to lose considerably at cards and horse­ races. In l'art, the keeper of that one of the Challenge Hitl saloons which the Colonel did not patronize was once heard to wonr®-, alKseut-mindedly, whether the Colonel hadn't a money mill some­ where where be turned out eagles and " slugs " (the coast name for $50 gold pieces). When so important a personage as a bar keeper indulged publicly in the idea, the inhabitants of Challenge Hill, like all good Californiaus everywhere, con­ sidered themselves in duty bound to give it grave consideration; £o, for a few days, certain industrious professional gentlemen, who won money of the Colonel, careiuliy weighed some of the brightest pie -es, and tested them with acids, and sawed them in two, and re­ tired them, and melted them up, and had the lumps assayed. The result was a complete vindication of the Colonel and a loss of considerable custom to the indiscreet bar-keeper. The Colonel was as good-naturod a man ae had ever been known on Chal­ lenge Hill, but, being mortal, the Colonel had his occasional times of despondency, and one of them occurred after a series of races in which he had staked his all on his bay mare Tipsie and lost. Looking reproachfully at his beloved animal, he failed to heed the acliing void of his pockets, and drinking deeply, swearing eloquently and glaring defi­ antly at all mankind were equally un­ productive of coin. The boys at the saloon sympathized most feelingly with the Colonel. They were unceasing in their invitations to drink, and they exhibited considerable Christian forbearance when the Colonel savagely dissented with every one who advanced any proposition, no matter how incontrovertible. But unappreciated sympathy grows decidedly tiresome to the giver, and it was with a feeling of relief that the boys saw the Colonel stride out of the saloon, mount Tipsie and gallop furiously away. iiuuiig on horseback has always lwn oonsidf red an excellent sort ot exevitise, and riding is universally admitted to be one of the most healtlmil ineatiR of ex hilaration iu the world; but when a man is so absorbed in his exercise that lie will not stop to speak to his triend, nnd when his exhilaration^ so complete that he turns his eyes from well-meaning thumbs pointing siguilicantly into doorways ihrough which a man lias oft­ en passed while seeking bracing ittlu- enoes, it is only natural lhat people should express some winder. The Colonel was well known nt-Toddy Flat, Come liand, Blazer's, Murderer's Bar and sever.il other villages through which he passed. As no one had been »• en to pr< eede him, betting men were poen offering odds that the Colonel was running uv*ay from somebody. Strictly speaking they were wrong, but they won all the money that had been staked against them, for within half an hour there passed over the same road an anxious-looking individu-il, wh" reined up in front of the principal saloon of each place and inquired if the Colonel had passed. Had the gallant Colonel known that he was followed, and by whom, there eertainlv would have been an extra elec­ tion held at the latter place very shortly after, for the pursuer was the constable, and for all officers of the law the Colonel possessed hatred. On galloped the Colonel, following the stage road, whieh threaded the old mining-camps ou Dutcli creek, but sud­ denly he turned out of the road and nrged his horse through the young pines and bushes which grew thickly by the road, while the constable galloped on to the next camp. There seemed to be no path through the thicket into which the Colonel had turned, but Tipsie walked between " the trees and shrubs as if they were familiar objects of his stable-yard. Suddenly a voice from the bushes shouted : " What's np ?** " Business--that's what." "It's time," replied the voice, and its owner--a bearded six-footer--emerged from the bushes and stroked Tipsie's nose with the freedom of an old acquaint­ ance. " We ain't had a nip since last night, and there ain't a cracker or a handful of flour in the shanty. The old gal go back on yer ?" "Ye*," replied the Colonel, ruefully, r " lost every blasted race ! 'T wasn't her fault--bless her--she done her level best. Ev'ry body to home ?" "You bet," said the man. "All been a pray in' lor yer to turn with the rocks an' somethin' with more oolor than spring water. Come on." » The man led the way, and Tipsie and the Colonel followed, and the trio sud­ denly found themselves before a log hut, in front of which sat three solemn, dis­ consolate individuals, wbo looked ap- pealingly to the Colonel. " Mack'll tell ye how'twas, fellers," said the Colonel, meekly, " while I picket the mare." The Colonel was absent but a few moments, but when he returned each of toe four were attired in pistols and knife, while Maok was distributing some dominoes made from a rather dirty flour sack. "Tain't so late as all that, is it?" in­ quired the Colonel. " Better be an hour ahead than a miss in this ere night," said one of the four. " I ain't been so thirsty since I came round the Horn in '50, an' we run short of water. Somebody '11 get hurt if there ain't any bitters in the old concern--they will, or my name ain«t Perkins." / " Don't count on your chickens 'fcjre they've hatched, Perky," said one of the crowd as he ad justed the domino under the rim of his hat. " S'posin' there should be too many for us ?" j " Stiddy," stiddy. Cranks ! " remon­ strated the Colonel. " NOIKKIJ' ever get^ along ef they 'low themselves to be gkoered." '• Fact," cMmed in the smallest and thinnest man in the party. "TheBible says somethin' mighty hot 1>ont that, I disremember dzactly how it goes, but I've hern Parson Buzzy, down to Maine, preach a ripplin' old sermon many a time. The old man never thought what a comfort them sermons wuz agoin' to be to a road agent, though. That time we stopped Slim Mike's 6tage, and he didn't have no more manners than to draw on me, them sermons wuz a perfect blessing to me--the thorns of 'em cleaned my head as quick as a cocktail. An' " % "I don't want to dispute Logroller'e pious strain," interrupted the Colonel, " but ez it's Old Black that's arriviu' to­ day instead of Slim Mike, and ez it's Old Black allers made his time, hadn't we better vamoose ? " The door of the shanty was hastily closed, and the men filed through the thicket witil near the road, when they marched rapidly on in parallel lines with it. After about half an hour Perkins, who was leading, halted, and wiped his perspiring brow with his shirt sleeve. " Fur enough from home now," said he. " Taint no use bein' a gentleman if yer have to work too hard." "Safe enough, I reckon," replied the Colonel. " We'll do the usual; I'll halt Logroller, 'tend to the driver; Cranks, take the boot, and Mock and Perk take right and left. An' I know it's tough--but considerin' how everlast- iu' eternal hard up we are, I reckon we'll have to ask contribution from the ladies, too, ef ther's any aboard--eh, boys?" " Reckon so," replied Logroller, with a chuckle that seemed to inspire even his black domino with a merry wrinkle | or two. What's the use of women's ; rights, ef they don't ever have a chance j of exercis'n 'em? Hevin' ther pnrses ! borrowed 'ud show 'em the full doctrine in a bran-new light." " Come, come, boys," interposed the Colonel, " thar's the crack of Old Black's whip; pick yer bush--quick ! All jump when I whistle." Each man secreted himself near the roadside. The stage came swinging along handsomely; those inside were laughing heartily at something, and Old Black was ju t giving a delicate touch to the flank of the off leader, when the Colonel gave a shrill, quick whistle, and live men sprang into the road. The horses stopped as suddenly as if it were a matter of common occurrence. Old Black dropped the reins, crossed his legs and stared into the sky,and the pass­ engers all put out their heads with a rapidity equaled only by that with which they withdrew them as they saw the dom- inos and revolvers of the road agents. "Seems to be something the matter, gentlemen," said the Colonel blandly, as he opened the door. " Won't you please get out ? Don't trouble yourself to draw, 'cos my friend here's got his weapon cocked an' his finger's rather nervous. Ain't got a handkerchief, hev you ?" he asked of the. tirst passenger who descended from the stage. " Hev ? Well, now, that's lucky. Just put yer bauds behind yer--so--that's it." And the unfortunate man's hands were se­ curely tied behind in an instant. The remaining ** passengers were treated with similar courtesy, and the Colonel and his friends examined the pockets of the captives. Old Black remained unmolested, for who ever heard of a stage-driver having money ? " Boys," said the Colonel, calling his brother agents aside and comparing re­ ceipts, "' tain't much of a naul, but there's only one woman, and she's old enough to be a feller's grand­ mother." "Like enough she'll pan out more than all the rest of the stage put to­ gether," growled Cranks, carefully testing the thickness of the case of a gold watch. "Just like the low-lived deceitl'ulness of some folks to hire an old woman to carry their money, so it'd go safer. Mebbe what she's got ain't nothin' to some folks that's got hosses that kin win money at races, but™ ~ The Colonel abruptly ended the con­ versation, and approached the stage. He was very chivalrous, but Cranks' sarcastic reference to Tipsie needed avenging, and, as he could not consist­ ently with business arrangements put an end to Cranks, the only lady would hare to suffer. . " I beg your pardon, ma am, said the Colonel, raising his hat politely with one hand, while he drew open the coach door with the other, " but we are taking up a collection for some deserving ob­ ject. We was goin' to make the gentle­ men fork over the hull amount, but ez they ain't got enough we will have to bother you." The old lady trembled, felt for her pocket-book and raised her veil. The Colonel looked into her face, slammed the stage door, and, sitting on the hub of one of the wheels, stared vacantly into space. "Nothin?" queried Perkins, in a whisper, and with a face full of genuine sympathy. " No--yea," said the Colonel, dreami­ ly. "That is, untie 'em, and let the stage go ahead," he continued, spring­ ing to his feet. "I'll hurry back to the cabin." And the Colonel dashed into the bushes and left his followers eo par­ alyzed with astonishment that Old Black afterward remarked that if ther'd been anybody to mind the horses he could have cleaned out the hull crowd with his whip. . The passengers, now relieved of tneir reins as if he laid them down at the star tion while thehorses were being changed, then he cracked his whip and the stage rolled off, while the Colonel's party hur­ ried back to the hut, fondly inspecting, as they went, certain flasks they had obtained while transacting their busi­ ness with the occupants of the stage. Great was the surprise of the road agents as they entered their hut, for there stood the Colonel in a clean white shirt, and in a suit of clothing made up from the limited spare wardrobes of the other members of the baud. But the suspicious Cranks speedily subordinated his wonder to his prudence as, laviLg on the table a heavy purse, he exclaimed: "Come, Colonel, business ' before pleasure; let's divide and soatter. Ef anybody should hear about it an' find oar trail, an' ketch the traps in our pos­ session, they might--" " Divide yourselves!" said the Colonel, with a white abruptness and a great oath; " I want none of it." " Colonel," said 1 erkins, removing his own domino and looking anxiously into the leader's face, "be you sick?' Here's some bully brandy which I found in the passengers' pockets." "It hain't nothin'," replied the Colonel, with averted eyes. " I'm goin' and I'm retirin' from business forever." "Ain't agoin' to turn evidence ? " cried Cranks, grasping a pistol lying upon the table. "I'm agoin' to make a lead mine of you ef you don't take that back! " roared the Co onel, with a bound that caused Cranks to drop the pistol and retire pre­ cipitately, apologizing as he went. "I'm agoin' to attend to my own business, and that's enough to keep anybody busy. Somebody lend me $50 till I see him agin." Perkins pressed the money in the Colonel's hand, and within two* minutes the Colonel was on Tipsie's back and galloped off in the direction the stage had taken. He overtook it, passed it, and still he galloped on. The people at Mud Gulch knew the Colonel well, and made it a rule never to be astonished at anything he did; but they made an exoeption to the rule when the Colonel canvassed the principal bar rooms for men who wished to buy a horse, and when a gambler who was flush obtained Tipsio for twenty slugs-- only $1,000, when the Colonel had al­ ways said there was not gold enough on top of ground to buy her--Mud Gulch experienced a decided sensation. But when the Colonel, after remain' ing in the barber shop for half an hour, emerged with his face cleau shaved and his hair nicely trimmed and parted, bet­ ting was eo wild that a cool-headed sport­ ing man speedily made a fortune by bet­ ting agaiuBt every theory that had been aivauced. Then the Colonel made a tour of the stores, and fitted himself up with a new suit ot clotlKS, careiuliy eschewing all of the gorgeous patterns and pronounced colors so d 'ar to the lveart of the average miner. He bought a new hat-and put on a pair of boots and pruned his linger nails and, stranger than all, he mildly declined all invitations to drink. As the Colonel stood at the door ot the principal saloon, whore the stage always stopped, the Challenge Hill constable was seen to approach the Colonel and tap him on the shoulder, when all the men who had bet that the Colonel was dudging somebody claimed the stakes. But those who stood near the Colonel heard the constable say: " Colonel, I take it all bock. When I Beed you came out of Challenge Hill, it come' to me that you might be in the road-agent business. But when I seed you sell Tipsie I knew I was on the wrong trail. I wouldn't suspect you now if all the stages in the country was robbed ; and I'll give you satisfaction any way you want it." "It's all right," said the Colonel, with a smile. The constable afterward said that nobody had any idea of how curi­ ously the bolonel smiled when his beard wus off. Suddenly the stage pulled up to the door with a crnsh, and the male passengers hurried into the saloon in a state of utter indignation and impecuni- 06ity.. The story of the robbery attracted everybody, and during the excitement the Colonel slipped out quietly and opened the door of the stage. The old lady started, and cried : "George 1" And the Colonel jumped in the stage, and, pntting his arm tenderly around the trembling form of the old lady, exclaimed : " Mother !"--Bret llarte. the paper cuttings, which, having shut out the reddening rays of the sun, have kept the fruit green just beneath them, so that the name or initials now show plainly.

Mr. Tyrrell, of Bail's hardware store, got into an argument with Hank Monk about the size of some agricultural ma­ chinery belonging to Rail whioh was ly­ ing at the depot. Hank insisted that the machinery nowadays was light and unreliable. Tyrrell offered to bet him 35 that he couldn't carry a single piece of it from the freight depot to the store. Hank deposited Ins coin and started. " If he (jets up here it'll make him sweat," quoth Tyrrell. " He'll earn every oent of his bet," said the hands. In alx>ut fifteen minutes Hank hove in sight, and they all saw that he had nothing. " Concluded you'd let ont the job to a dray, eh?" they all said, looking at Hauk's woful condition. " Well, I brought up apiece," he said, as he entered the store. " Where is it?" " Hure, ' said he, with a quiet grin; " chipped it off with a hammer." He produced a corner of a casting about the size of a hazlenut. " I could have got a bigger piece, but the bet was so small it wasn't an object; ye see ?" Monk went away with the money, and his face wore that self-satisfied smile all tne afternoon.--Carson City Appeal. Initials on Fralt. Did you ever see a name printed on a growing apple, pear or peach ? No ? Well, if you wish to have that pleasure, this is the way to obtain it: While the fruit yet hangs green up>n the tree, make up your mind which is the biggest and most promising specimen of all. Next, cut out from thin, tough paper the initials of the name of your little broth­ er or sister or cliief crony, with round specks for the dots after the letters, and the letters themselves plain and thick. Then paste these letters and dots on that side of the apple which is not turned to the sun, taking care not to loosen the fruit's hold upou its stem. As soon as the apple is ripe, take off Forest Destruction and Decrease of Water In Streams. In consequence of the destruction of the forests the United States is suffering, and is threatened with still greater ca­ lamities such as have overtaken some of the countries of the Old World. Navi­ gable rivers are becoming shallower and more subject to floods, brooks and creeks are drying up, and springs are entirely disappearing. A few years ago Gustavo Wex, Coun­ cillor of State of Austria, published a paper in which he stated that observa­ tions covering many years had convinced him that such results were, almost with­ out exception, due to the destruction of the forests at the headwaters ot the main streams and tributaries. His statements were received with favor by some and declared incapable of proof by others. He has published a reply to these doubt ers in which, by statistics collected under his personal supervision, and the testi­ mony of other capable observers, most of whom are professional engineers, he shows conclusively that his assertions are true. At the International Congress of Land and Forest Culturists, at Vienna, a few years ago, it was stated that there had been a gradual decrease in the depth of the large streams of all countries. In some cases, it was said, rivers which in former years had been of considerable magnitude had eutirely disappeared. The Rhine, the Elbe and the Oder are shallower than formerly. The waters of the Elbe diminished in depth ten feet in fifty years. This is attributed to the reckless destruction of the forests of Bohemia, where the Elbe rises. The decrease in the waters of the Rhine is attributed to the felling of trees in Switzerland, where are found the sources of that famous river. A letter published in the Cologne Ga­ zette, from Rio Janeiro, says that the inhabitants on the banks of the Amazon are alarmed at the, to them, strange phenomenon, namely: "Tho stream is receding in an appalling maimer, and above Mauaos navigation is already im­ possible." The catise of the diminution of the water has not yet been ascer­ tained, but it, too, probably nrises from the reckless destruction ot trees along the headwaters.' But even in tho United States illustra­ tions are not wantiug to show the effect upon rivers of forest destruction. Pro­ fessor Newberry, in his Geology of Ohio, states that the Ohio River has been get­ ting lower and lower, in dry seasons, for many years. Many people dd not believe this, and will probably be disposed to ridicule the author of the statement. But the proof of its truth is not wanting. About 1871-72 the Ohio sank lower than had been known Itefore, and at Smith's Ferry, where the Pennsylvania line crosses, a ledge of rocks was laid bare that had not been seen or heard of by any people living iu that vicinity. On these rocks for several hundred yards inscriptions had been made, such as are ascribed to a race which densely popu­ lated the couutry before the advent of the Indians. The disastrous results that have fol­ lowed the unlimited destruction of for­ ests, through the drying up of streams, and the conseTfi&ht diminution of the rainfall, are strikingly illustrated iu the recent history of China. The Northeru Provinces of the Chi­ nese Empire, Shan-Li, is inclosed on all sides by high mountain ranges, which in early ages were covered with dense forests. At that time it rained there every year periodically, the atmosphere was "sutiicieutly moist, and Shan-Li was numljered among the most fertile of the well cultivated and deusely settled of the Chinese provinces. But the inliabitauts of this once blooming and happy couu­ try, through greed and iu the endeavor to increase the yield of those mountain slope, gradually (more gradually than Americans are removing the forests on the hill sides) deforested the surround­ ing mountains compK'tety. As a result the former periodical rains have almost disappeared, and the rainfall and hu­ midity of the atmosphere have so de­ creased that in this province there has been for years an almost succession of failure of crops. Following these fail­ ures have come famiue and death in a most horrid form. In 1807 the drouth was so general that in consequence of the failure of the crops three million people starved to death. The ruinous results of the destruction of forests are manifest iu other provinces of China; in the highlands by killing drouths and in the lowlands by destruc­ tive rains and floods, the waters after heavy rains flowing off iu torrents in­ stead of being retained in the soil to feed the streams gradually, as it would do did tracts of forest exist--(Cincin­ nati ConirnertdaL DR.

With the above words an English so­ ciety journal opens on article on the current habit of good society in search of pleasure. It is unnecessay to say that pleasure, if it can be taken only as many fashionables take it, is not worth the time and money that it costs. No one enjoys this world's diversions eo lit­ tle as those who pay most for their fun and devote most time to it. At the the­ atre and opera the people who appear most pleased are those who sit iu the cheapest seats and wear the poon-st clothes, and elsewhere the rule ia the same. All else being equal, the man who has the most money to speud can so.cure the most enjoyment in this world ; but one thing that thousands of people seem to forget is, that with all these things with pleasant possibilties a common rule of the table holds good--it is no u«e to eat unless you have an appetite. The most forlorn dinner out in New York is the man who eats several dinners daily, and the the most unhappy man at the theatre--the man who finds fault with everything and enjoys nothing--is he who goes to the theatre every night Pleasure is like desert--very good to take after something substantial, bnt the most unsatisfactory of all things taken as a steady diet» "P ALMLEAF P AH" is Eugenie Field's g'rl of the period.--New Y rk Netoa. reezy name, but then he must be a green Field to have a girl who will not ahvliipi. Diet of Alaskan Barbarians. They live largely on ukali (dried fish), with fresh fish in season, aud occasionally take a beluga or white whale, besides many hair sea's. They do not take kiiuily to bread or tea, so the traders say. When they are so fortunate as to capture a beluga the whole village in­ dulges iu feastiug while it lasts, gorgiug themselves ujxni the flesh immoderately. I believe that alternate feasting and fa ting are characteristic habits of nearly all barbarous peoples. Capt. Cook, in his "Third Voyage," relates what he saw upon a certain eccasiou when the Aleut chief of Ounalaska made his din- ne^oSt* the raw head of a large ha ibnt just caught. After two of his servants had eaten the giils, with no dressing ex­ cept squeezing out the slime, one of them cut off the head of the fish, washed it in the sea, and then laid it upon the grass near the chief, at the same time strewing some more grass before the great man to serve as a tablecloth. The atteudaut then oat large pieces off the chcek of the fish and laid them within reach of the grand mo/nl, "who swal­ lowed them with as mnch satisfaction as we should do rawoystrs." When the chief had done, the remains of the fish's head were cut in pieces and given to the attendants, "who tore off the meat with their teeth, and gnawed the bones like so many dogs." Capt. Lyon, the arlic explorer, gives in his Journal an even more disgustiuga ooii'it of an Esquimaux meal. "From Kooilittuck," he Bays, "I ltiarne.i a new Esquimaux luxury He had eaten until he was drunk, and every moment fell atileep, with a flush and burning face and his mouth open. By his side sat Arnaloosa (his wite), who was attending her cooking pot, and at short intervals awakened her spouse, in order to cram as much as was possible of a large piece of half-t>oiled flesh into his month with the assignee of her forefinger, and, having filled it quite full, cut off the morsel close to his lips. During this operation the happy man moved no part of him but his jaws, not even opening his eyes, but his extreme satisfaction was occasionally shown by a most expressive grant u henever he en­ joyed sufficient room for the passage of sound. The drippings of the savory re­ past bad so p eutifully covered his faoe and neck that I had no hesitation in • etermining that a man may look more like a beast by overeating than by drink­ ing to excess. But euough of this ; enough is ae good as a feast, even an Esquimaux feast. Ou the other hand, when putrid whale meat and other native luxu ies are scarce, these versatile creatures can adapt them­ selves to the situation and rival Tanner in fasting. They will worry along for days, aud even weeks, on the smallest possible amount of food--nothing more than a little ukali once every day or two. So the "attending pliys^ciaus" say. It must have beeu their.liHugry season when I was at St. M ehael's, for squads of them were hanging around the trader's kitchen door at every meal hour, where they maintained their positions with un- fli niching fortitude, aud waited in eloquent tileiice and with speaking looks uutil the ca ls of the stomach were answered with broken victual*.
