A SEW DISCOVERY. Ho was without oxecptiou one of the ftiost extraordinary vacrabondH to bo found upon the Pacific coast. How ho umdo a living no 0110 can tell. His clothes woro never of tho best, yet he always had plenty ol money ; and where he came from nopno,cver knew. TD fact "nil air of mystery Infways hung -- bont Dootor Slykc, which puzzled tho denizens of Cedarvillo exceedingly; they never could mako him out. Whou ho was first seen iu tho community ho was standiug in tho dusty twilight fondly ' patting the top of a pine-stump- , which nt the timo eecmed to be Iu'h only visible support, and buying: "Thank yon, sonn'. Tho good hie ! aro al- ways rewarded ; horu are two bits." Gedarvillo flourished and Doctor Blyko became an honored citizen. Dur- ing the first weeks of his stay certain evil disposed persons Bcemed to doubt his right to have a placo in their midst. Somo said ho was a road agent, who mado his living by exactiug tribute r from tho traveling public. Some said ho had "mndo his pilo " in other doubt- s' ful ways, cached it, and had settled .IfSmn sr af ! naii ll r...n.1 1 L 11..1 luunu luvL-uiuiiii- u iu opuuu IU LUlt ' theso reports soon died away uuuer mo sunsntuo 01 ioclor SlyKo 6 affability.

Tho way that man would "sit in Hickory Joiiumm's saloon be- fore Hickory went out of tho business (pistol-bnli- ) and bluff a man right Kiiuiiro down on tho Lreochon on a worthless baud was perfectly miracu- lous. Ho was gifted with tho power of spcecb that it was a brave man who darod to take a hand with him. As wo . said before, nickory Johusou went out of tho buMne.-- s forever, and then Doc- tor Slyko was thrown upon his own re- sources. Gambling as a means of mak- ing a living was played out, and no ouo cared to run tho bank Codarvillo was taken with a virtuous fit and tho doc- tor was too iiigh-notion- ed to swing a jick. After idling around in a genteel fashion for yomo weeks tho doctor bade tho people of Codarvillo on affectionate adieu and was seen no more for a time. Cedarville, os a matter of course, slid jong.ou tho evcu tenor of its way after Slyke's departure, but the wary iBJaUventnrer had bo ingratiated himself -- with her peoplo that a most substantial . vacuum was felt in tho ranks of her so- - y s EO"HUO world ovtr; we lwi xp to ono man in tribute to his good -- qualities and deeds, and adniiro him as is his right.

Ou this particnlar eveninK Doctor Slykc was perceptibly, sociably and con- fidentially drunk. t "Yon did not know I was a married man. I Happose, crentleinen ?" said this educated vagabond, seating himself on a barrel. "No? Well, yep. I have been on a visit to my family, and am now on my way to the coast to find a suitable place to remove them to. Gen- tlemen, with all my faults, I trust I am capable of a good actios." To do the doctor justice, he was capo bio of a good action, for when tbe Chi- naman slid down the flume and broke his legs, tbo doctor nursed him as tenderly as he would nurse one who was qualified by birth and education W tes-- uiy ugaiBMt h waiK) nwn.. JZC, "I trafct I am capable" of Vgood ac- - tion." There were pathos and dignity in tho tone of tbo doctor's voice as he uttered theso words. More, too ; there was a world of eloquence in the wave of the doctor's arm which had the wrist- band neatly turned over the coat-cu- ff which had weight. "1 havo been to seo my family, re siding in Fourteen-Mil- e Gap," resumed Doctor Slyke ; "and, as I said before, I havo rcolved to bring them farther West. To-da- y I camo through Carson's Pass (having walked all the way), and on casting my eyes toward tho summit of tho mountain I beheld something which thrilled mo to the very soul. I hod mado a new discovery I" "Cinnabar?" said Jim. "Silver?" said another. "Gentlemen, quicksilver is not gen- erally found at such a height. It was not silver, but a substance which, in my estimation, is equally as valuable." "Is it gold?" " It is not gold, gentlemen." t " Then it can't be diamonds. What in thunder is it, Doc. ?" "Gentlemen, tho only answer I can make is that the component parts of this substance are known in chemistry by tho symbols HO. I see you aro all atten- tion, gentlemen, and I will endeavor to exnluin to you the uses of this wonder- ful ah substance, Iu tho first place, it is a rarity in this part of the world. It is only to bo found at very high alti- tudes, and is most common to the Arctic and An tart ic regions. This substance is generated in a temperature not rang- ing higher than thirty-tw- o dogrecs. This substance takes tho form of a tabula rosa when tho parts ore in a com- placent state. Sometimes it assumes a pendant form, and sometimes lumpy. Iu appearance it is limpid, translucent, opaque. In natnro it is the opposite from colorific; it is brittle and easily romoved. Its upch are many. In trop- ical latitudes its valno is incalculable, and even in this cliroato it is valued highly. I know that tho inhabitants of Fiddlctown and Pokervillo wonld give any prico could they got it, as it is largely used in bibulous communities. (Tho doctor's clegauco of diction was unsurpassed.) To satisfy myself, I toiled up tho mountain, and found that my conjectures wero right. Said 1 to myaolf, on beholding tho treasure. I am a mado man. but would it not bo playing it pretty low down on tho boys if I did not put them up to this?' Par- don tho vulgarism, gentlemen, but my feelings overcomo mo." At this point tho doctor named his "pizin" and shook hands with the crowd. "Gentlemen," resumed tho doctoro "a sense of gratitude to all impels md to disclose this secret. You havo use-m- o well, and when I made this discov; ery I asked myself, 'Cut bono f For yours, certainly." "Lot's pre-em- right off," said a huge-boote- d miner. "I'll lead off, hey, Doe, ?" '"Certainly, sir, cr prdc JFcrculcm, and I know of no more capable man than yourself. I was about to propose it. Gentlemen ahem ! I have a fami- ly to biing on, but what I lack is tho necessary fuuds. I maj say, under tho present position, I am stampede in uno. I have been an erring man, I know, but I now o a chance to redeem myself. I havo fricsd, gentlemen." added the doctor, huskily, " who will sco mo com- fortably situated, but it is rather obnox- ious to tax their generosity." The crowd had evidently taken a hint, as men wero seen feeling in their pock- ets, and Jim Sprig had laid his hat on tho bar. All this tho doctor did not seem to notice, but kept his eyes mod- estly upon tho knot-hol- e in tho floor. "Ther bank's open, mates," said .Tamos, "an' all wot s disposed ter give ter help a deservin' man kin walk up." A steady firo was kept upon tho ob- jective point a few minutes, and then it catno Bill Watson's turn. Bill tlirow in a kine." James saw it and wont two better. Hill saw him and raised him three. "I Fee ther gentleman's pile an' rise him agin," said James, as he felt in his pocket. "Stumped, by thunder!" " Hold on, gentlemoa," said tho doc- tor, fumbling at a buckle, "and I'll come in." "h?"

Near- ly eight thousand feet above them was the white rock, behind which lay the treasure. The doctor must have gone ahead, and some of the mot imagin- ative thought they could detect his'iig-ur- o slowly plodding upward. At all events they reached the rock after a hard pull, and looked about them. No doctor was to be seen. Had they the eyes of the eagle they might see him proceeding at a rapid pace up Carson's Pass, with his face turned iu an eastward direction. But as they did not kave the eyes of tho eagle, they got tired of waiting, and went behind tho rock to see for themselves. Jim Sprig was ahead, whenims eyeaeaagat a fgleam of something white, Yer she is. mates." said Jim with a yell, a he sprang forward. The excited crowd followed, and saw him lay his hand upon a clear substance which lay before them liko a lake. Jim laid his hand upon it, and arose with a face as red as a beet "Each 'ed. by thunder 1" Reader, tho doctor had told the truth. It was ice. Shyness. Shyness is a curious peculiarity of some men, and the explanation of much that is dubious and obscure in their be- havior. It may ariso from an inherent modesty and rclnctanco to intrude, from a s:nso of inferiority, or a notion, that peoplo look down on yon, iu which case it is a kind of mistaken pride. It often happens that a man gets the reputation of being haughty or unsocial, when he is only rliy. An un- conquerable bashfulne.'-- oppresses him. When such a man is drawn into company participating in tho exeite-mo- nt of the hour, and having got over all the difficulties of tho first address, ho generally "comes out." Often wo find him talkative and entertaining, so that strangers go awav, saying : " Well. there is one of the pleasantcst men I havo ever met with." Strange itis next day to meet the same man in the street, and find him make an effort to avoid you, or at least to hurry past you with an awkward bow. Lord M., u person of this kind, always walked along tho inner sido of tho pavement, with eyes ground ward bent, as if anxious to es-ca- po observing or being observed. A person who is associated with him in duty every day for one-ha- lf tho year, has actually known him to cross to the other sido of the road ou being ap proached, and endeavor to escapo his notice by pretending to take an interest in something on tho other side of the hedge. Men, on the contrary, who get the reputation of being forward, aro often merely pcrsonsof strong animal spirits ; these rendering them frank and bold in society, where, from the ir comparative rank, they are cspected to bo quiet and respectful. About the Horse. To CrjBE PoTrus in the nostril, cut it out ; check the bleeding by holding caustic on the wound. Next day, and for two or three da3s, spongo tho wound with salt and vinegar ouco a day. He will bo sound in a short time. Curixq SciUTcnEs. Take white pine pitch, rosin, beeswax, and honey, one ounce each, fresh lard ono-hal- f pound ; melt well together over a slow fire; stir till quite thick, so that tho parts may not settle and separate. This also makes an excellent application for harness galls, cuts, and sores of all kinds on horses or cattle. CnAxoiso a Gait. A blacksmith has succeeded in changing the gait of a pa- cing horso to that of a trotter by simply fastening an extra pair of shoes, heavier than usual, to his forefeet, whenever le wants tho horso to trot, and taking them off at all other times. Tho sudden chango of weight or his forefeet forces tho horses to change his gait. Good Advice. When your horso stumbles, never raise your voice tho creature dreads its mat-tor'- s chiding; never jug tho reins the mouth of the horso is far more sensitive thau tho hu- man lips ; never use tho lah, tho horce is so timid that tho slightest correction overjwwers its reasoning faculties. Speak to tho crcaturo ; reassnro the pil-pitati- frame, seek to restore theso perceptions which will form the best guard against a repetition of the faulty action. To Feed a Colt. It is the early care of tho colt which makes or mars the horee. Tho danger is generally in starv- ing him rather than over-ftedin- g him. The point to be aimed at is to keep him growing. Ho may be fed from two weeks old. At that time, in addition to the milk from tho mare, he should have a hondful at first k)f oatmeal or oats, soaked in sweet cow's milk or water. Iftho mare does not give much milk this may be gradually increased up to two qnarts of oatmeal or oats iu a few weeks. No corn should be given to a colt at any time, and all the oats he wi'l eat up clean and with an eager appetite may be given without danger. He should be brushed daily. a closed stall next 1 1 the aaare for the colt, ia which he may ran loose when not at pastare. How to Paasxavx a Bouquet.

Profane historians also raeTatinn giants ; they gave seven feet of aeicht to Her- cules, their first hero, antl la our days wc have seen men eight feat high. The giant who was shown in Jhmau in 1835 measured eight feet some Maajbes. The Emperor Maximin was aftuat size ; Skenkius and Piaterus, pjjyuicians of Vie last century, saw Eureeal of that stature, and Gorepius saw girl who wbb 10 feet high. ' S'ei . Tho body of Orestes, a cvnai io toe Greeks, was Hi feet tb fbronghtirom Arabia to XHUOa BUUU Claudius Cmsar, was near 10 feet ; and the bones of Secondilla and Pufio, keep- ers of the gardens of Sallust, were but six inches bhorter. Funnam, a Scotchman, who lived at the time of Eugcno tho Second, King of Scotland, measured 11 feet; and Jacob le Mai re, in his voyage to the Straits of Magellan, reports that on the 17th day of December, 1015, they found at Port Desire several graves covered with stones, and having the curiosity to remove the stones, they discovered hu- man skeletons 10 and 11 feet long. Tho Chevalier Scory, iu his voyage to the Peak of Teneriffe, says that they found in ono of the sepulchral caverns of that mountain the head of a Gaunche which had 80 teeth, and that the body was not less than 15 feet long. The giant Ferragus, si tin by Orlando, nephew of Charlemagne, was 18 feet high. llioland, a celebrated anatomist, who wrote in 1011, says that some years be- fore there was to bo seen in the suburbs of St. Germain tho tomb of tho giant Isoret, w ho was 20 feet high. In Itouen, in 1509, in digging in the ditches near the Dominicans, they found a stone tomb containing a skeleton, who.se skull held a bushel of corn, and whose shin-bon- e reached up to tho girdle of tho tallest man there, being about four feet long, aud consequently the body must havo been 17 or 18 feet high. Upon tho tomb was u plate of copper, whereon wus engraved, "In this tomb lies tho noble and puissant lord, tho Chevalier 11 icon do Vallemont, and his bones." Piaterus, n famous physician, declares that ho saw ut Lucerne tho true humau bones of a subject which must havo been at least 11) feet high. Vulcnco, in Dauphine, boasts of pos- sessing the bones of the giant Buctrt, tyrant of tho Vivarais, who was slain by uu arrow by tho Count do Cabillon, his vassal. The Dominicans had a part of the shin-bon- e, with the articulation of the knee; and his rfgnre pointed in fres- co, with an inscription showing that this giant was: 22 feet high, nnd that his bones wero found in 1705 near the banks of tho Morderi, a little river ot the foot of tho mountain of Crussol, upon which, tradition Eays, the giant dwelt. Jan. 11, 1013, somo masons digging near tho ruins of a castle in Dauphine, in a field which by tradition had long been called tho Giant's Field, at the depth of 18 feet discovered a brick tomb 30 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 8 feet high, on which was a gray Btone, with the words Thcutobochus Rex cut there- on. When the tomb wns opened, they found a human skeleton entire 25 feet long, 10 feet wide across the shoulders, and 5 feet deep from the breast-bon- e to tho back. His teeth wero about tho sizo each of an ox's foot, aud his shin-bon- e measured four feet. Near Mezarino, in Sicily, 151G, was found a giant 30 feet Iu'rIi ; his head was the sizo of a hogshead, and each of his teeth weighed five ounces. Near Palermo, in the valley of Maza-r- a, iu Sicily, a skeleton of a giant 30 feet long was found iu the year 1548, and another of 33 feet high in 1550 ; and mauy curious persons have preserved several of theee gigantic bones. Tho Athenians found near their city two famous bkeletons, one 34 and the other 30 feet high. At Toiu, in Bohemia, in 758, was found a skeleton, tho head of which could scareo bo eucompassed by tho arms of two men together, and whose legs, which they still keep in tho castle of that city, wero 20 feet long. The skull of the giant fouud in Macedonia, September, 1091, held 210 pounds of corn. Virtue of Tar Waler. Bishop Berkeley published a work on "The Virtues of Tar Water," and later in life, just beforo his death, he pub- lished a sequel, entitled, "Further Thoughts on Tar Water. " The common way of making it was to put a quart of tar into a gallon of water, stir it thor- oughly, let it stand forty-eig- ht hours, then pour off the water. A half-pi- nt in tho morning, on rising, and a half-pi- nt on going to bed, was the common dose. In those days it was a.'most as common to call for a glass of tar water in a cof- fee house as a dish of tea or coffee. It was not only regarded as a sovereign remeoy lor many grave diseases among rSillr knew," said Bishop Berkeley, "aay-thin- g so good for the ttomach as tar watt r ; it cores indigestioe, aad gxrea a good appetite.

The Canadian inland revenue report gives us some interesting figures about tho amount of intoxicating liquors con- sumed by our neigliborn on the other side of the line. In appears that the quantity of gallons of proof spirits manufactured during 1873 was 5,517,-51- 7, and though tho quantity entered for nso was 90,538 gallons less than during 1872, still it amounted to 4,739,-02- 7, or considerably more than a gallon of proof spirits for every man, woman and child iu the Dominion.

A drawing takes plnco monthly, the company having provided a certain number of prizes. The hope of drawing a prizo makes the passenger anxious to send in his ticket, aud if the returns of the conductor arc uot equal to the number of returned tickets, his dishonesty is easily detected, and ho is at once discharge!.

New York HeraMJ Among the multitude of strange nnd touching events incidental to this calamity is one showing tho remarkable sagacity and intelligence of the canine raco which is worthy of record. Col. Haydeu, ono of the sous of tho late LicnL-Go- v. Haydeu, owns a noblo dog of the St Itoniaril simsmpji TTrt li.i for a long timo been a tillage favorite, and j pel of tho school-childre- who wero! taught near the Haydeu residence. He was as punctual at his receives as tho foremost child. Tho little ones could adorn his tail with fancy ribbons, wind their jumping rones all around lmn. ana sendhimlo fetch stickvpuh him off tne Dank into tho river, harness him up ana run the streets with switch in hand, and in fact do almost anything with him, and yet he was their close friend and protector. It is said of him that ho had a sin-cia- l liking for little girls, aud that ono of his greatest faontes was tho little Birmingham girl who was swept down and lost with her father, and ail her brothers and sisters. A put from-he- r hand was seemingly enough to repay him for waiting until ' was out, when he would almost invnti- - iiuiy accompany iter nome. Jitit tne mastiff had another friend in Mr. Eli Bryant, tho father of Mrs. Col. II lyden, u gentleman something over hixty years of age. Ho was delighted to bo with him, uneasy when ho was nwny, and always when he could, ho would accompany tho old gentleman in his walks about the village. Mr. Bryant wus among tho victims of tho disaster, and so wero many others of tho dog's out irieuus. Jt said that no human beings r expressed a keener sciio of the general surrounding sadutKt than he. His movements even in the bustle and confusion of tho occasion wero noticeable. Ho went to tho school-hous- e, but came almost directly homo again. He introduced himself upon tho domain of the family, and was in awry part of tho houso MiiiOiug about. An old pair of boots of Mr. Bryant's at- tracted his reented attention, as did alt-- several articles of clothing of his lost fiiond. Sunday afternoon he started out and followed tho for bodies on tho meadow lands. This afternoon he was seen on 3Iillers Hate, pawing in the sand. His actions finally excited huflicieut attention to attract visitors, who found that he had dug quite a trench. In this excavation the ctiuso of tho creature's vigorous efforts " aud his barking was explained. There was disclofcd tho lower portion of a man's limb, tho toes of bin shoes being upturned. They could havo hardly been moro than half .exposed to view when the dog discoveicd them. Tho next half-hou- r revealed tho form of Mr. I Bryant. As tho workmen prosecuted their digging around tho lody tho dog lay down at tho feet. Finally, when thj face was exposed to view, the paor creature seemed overjoyed, but when u cloth was wrapped mound tho rigid form and tho removal was begun, the noble animal rcenied bowed with grief and sullenly and radly he followed the party home. Diligent search had been made for these remains in this exact locality, and it is barely possible that any human being could havo ever found the imbedded corpse. It is rea- sonable to believe that sorno of thoe now missing aro beneath the sand-bed- s, which wecre swept over the intervids nnd loft by the Hood, their bones to bo found in after timo by accident or by tho changing of theeoursoof Mill river. The epot where Mr. Brynnt's body was found is many yards from the river bed. of The Monastic Libraries. The seals of some of the oldest and most valuable mon-isti- c libraries in Italy ore atlast to bo broken. Priceless mon-UFcrip- ts yet uncollected, works of in- estimable value for historical investiga- tions, have long been buried ami closely guarded within the walls of the con- vents. If any persistent explorer has gained admis-io- n to them, he has still been met with such vexatious restric- tions as us made the libraries practically os inaccessible as if they wero on Mt.

It sets tho heart aching so delicately there's no taking a wink of sleep for the pleasure of the pain. It was an unfortunate idea, making tho new ten-ce- nt scrip so much liko tho fifty cent scrip. It is no pleasant sen- sation, after hurrying homo from a store, nnd all tho way being under tho impression that you havo beaten somebody out of forty cents, to find that vou hove the right change, after all. William M. Evahts, in a recent speech at tho Lotus Club, told of a lankcc schoolmaster who undertook Ut mako compulsory poets of his scholars, and was obliged to listen to this effusion one of them : Oh, l.oj-e- f nt JoTe, lend n thlti. lid.

" But you forget, my dear," returned the wife, meekly, " that it was tho angel who stopped the way, and Balaam and his who complained of it."

A SEW DISCOVERY.Ho was without oxecptiou one of the

ftiost extraordinary vacrabondH to bofound upon the Pacific coast. How houmdo a living no 0110 can tell. Hisclothes woro never of tho best, yet healways had plenty ol money ; andwhere he came from nopno,cver knew.

TD fact "nil air of mystery Infways hung-- bont Dootor Slykc, which puzzled tho

denizens of Cedarvillo exceedingly; theynever could mako him out. Whou howas first seen iu tho community ho wasstandiug in tho dusty twilight fondly

' patting the top of a pine-stump- , whichnt the timo eecmed to be Iu'h onlyvisible support, and buying: "Thankyon, sonn'. Tho good hie ! aro al-ways rewarded ; horu are two bits."

Gedarvillo flourished and DoctorBlyko became an honored citizen. Dur-ing the first weeks of his stay certainevil disposed persons Bcemed to doubthis right to have a placo in their midst.Somo said ho was a road agent, whomado his living by exactiug tributer from tho traveling public. Some saidho had "mndo his pilo " in other doubt-

Extraordinary ? Why, that isn't thoword for it. Tho way that man would

"sit in Hickory Joiiumm's saloon be-fore Hickory went out of tho business(pistol-bnli- ) and bluff a man rightKiiuiiro down on tho Lreochon on aworthless baud was perfectly miracu-lous. Ho was gifted with tho powerof spcecb that it was a brave man whodarod to take a hand with him. As wo

. said before, nickory Johusou went outof tho buMne.-- s forever, and then Doc-tor Slyko was thrown upon his own re-sources. Gambling as a means of mak-ing a living was played out, and no ouocared to run tho bank Codarvillo wastaken with a virtuous fit and tho doc-tor was too iiigh-notion- ed to swing ajick.

After idling around in a genteelfashion for yomo weeks tho doctor badetho people of Codarvillo on affectionateadieu and was seen no more for atime.

Ou this particnlar eveninK DoctorSlykc was perceptibly, sociably and con-fidentially drunk. t

"Yon did not know I was a marriedman. I Happose, crentleinen ?" said thiseducated vagabond, seating himself ona barrel. "No? Well, yep. I havebeen on a visit to my family, and amnow on my way to the coast to find asuitable place to remove them to. Gen-tlemen, with all my faults, I trust I amcapable of a good actios."

To do the doctor justice, he was capobio of a good action, for when tbe Chi-naman slid down the flume and brokehis legs, tbo doctor nursed him astenderly as he would nurse one who wasqualified by birth and education W tes--

uiy ugaiBMt h waiK) nwn.. JZC,"I trafct I am capable" of Vgood ac--

tion." There were pathos and dignityin tho tone of tbo doctor's voice as heuttered theso words. More, too ; therewas a world of eloquence in the wave ofthe doctor's arm which had the wrist-band neatly turned over the coat-cu- ff

which had weight."1 havo been to seo my family, re

siding in Fourteen-Mil- e Gap," resumedDoctor Slyke ; "and, as I said before, Ihavo rcolved to bring them fartherWest. To-da- y I camo through Carson'sPass (having walked all the way), andon casting my eyes toward tho summitof tho mountain I beheld somethingwhich thrilled mo to the very soul. Ihod mado a new discovery I"

"Cinnabar?" said Jim. "Silver?"said another.

"Gentlemen, quicksilver is not gen-erally found at such a height. It wasnot silver, but a substance which, in myestimation, is equally as valuable."

"Is it gold?"" It is not gold, gentlemen."

t " Then it can't be diamonds. Whatin thunder is it, Doc. ?"

"Gentlemen, tho only answer I canmake is that the component parts of thissubstance are known in chemistry by thosymbols HO. I see you aro all atten-tion, gentlemen, and I will endeavor toexnluin to you the uses of this wonder-ful ah substance, Iu tho first place,it is a rarity in this part of the world.It is only to bo found at very high alti-tudes, and is most common to the Arcticand An tart ic regions. This substanceis generated in a temperature not rang-ing higher than thirty-tw- o dogrecs.This substance takes tho form of atabula rosa when tho parts ore in a com-placent state. Sometimes it assumes apendant form, and sometimes lumpy.Iu appearance it is limpid, translucent,opaque. In natnro it is the oppositefrom colorific; it is brittle and easilyromoved. Its upch are many. In trop-ical latitudes its valno is incalculable,and even in this cliroato it is valuedhighly. I know that tho inhabitants ofFiddlctown and Pokervillo wonld giveany prico could they got it, as it islargely used in bibulous communities.(Tho doctor's clegauco of diction wasunsurpassed.) To satisfy myself, Itoiled up tho mountain, and found thatmy conjectures wero right. Said 1 tomyaolf, on beholding tho treasure. Iam a mado man. but would it not boplaying it pretty low down on tho boysif I did not put them up to this?' Par-don tho vulgarism, gentlemen, but myfeelings overcomo mo."

At this point tho doctor named his"pizin" and shook hands with thecrowd.

"Gentlemen," resumed tho doctoro"a sense of gratitude to all impels mdto disclose this secret. You havo use-m- o

well, and when I made this discov;ery I asked myself, 'Cut bono f Foryours, certainly."

"Lot's pre-em- right off," said ahuge-boote- d miner. "I'll lead off,hey, Doe, ?"

'"Certainly, sir, cr prdc JFcrculcm,and I know of no more capable manthan yourself. I was about to proposeit. Gentlemen ahem ! I have a fami-ly to biing on, but what I lack is thonecessary fuuds. I maj say, under thopresent position, I am stampede in uno.I have been an erring man, I know, butI now o a chance to redeem myself.I havo fricsd, gentlemen." added thedoctor, huskily, " who will sco mo com-fortably situated, but it is rather obnox-ious to tax their generosity."

The crowd had evidently taken a hint,as men wero seen feeling in their pock-ets, and Jim Sprig had laid his hat ontho bar. All this tho doctor did notseem to notice, but kept his eyes mod-estly upon tho knot-hol- e in tho floor.

"Ther bank's open, mates," said.Tamos, "an' all wot s disposed ter giveter help a deservin' man kin walk up."

Shyness.Shyness is a curious peculiarity of

some men, and the explanation of muchthat is dubious and obscure in their be-havior. It may ariso from an inherentmodesty and rclnctanco to intrude,from a s:nso of inferiority, or a notion,that peoplo look down on yon, iuwhich case it is a kind of mistakenpride. It often happens that a mangets the reputation of being haughty orunsocial, when he is only rliy. An un-conquerable bashfulne.'-- oppresseshim. When such a man is drawn intocompany participating in tho exeite-mo- nt

of the hour, and having got overall the difficulties of tho first address,ho generally "comes out." Often wofind him talkative and entertaining, sothat strangers go awav, saying : " Well.there is one of the pleasantcst men Ihavo ever met with." Strange itis nextday to meet the same man in the street,and find him make an effort to avoidyou, or at least to hurry past you withan awkward bow. Lord M., u personof this kind, always walked along thoinner sido of tho pavement, with eyesground ward bent, as if anxious to es-ca- po

observing or being observed. Aperson who is associated with him induty every day for one-ha- lf tho year,has actually known him to cross to theother sido of the road ou being approached, and endeavor to escapo hisnotice by pretending to take an interestin something on tho other side of thehedge. Men, on the contrary, who getthe reputation of being forward, aro oftenmerely pcrsonsof strong animal spirits ;these rendering them frank and bold insociety, where, from the ir comparativerank, they are cspected to bo quiet andrespectful.

About the Horse.To CrjBE PoTrus in the nostril, cut

it out ; check the bleeding by holdingcaustic on the wound. Next day, andfor two or three da3s, spongo thowound with salt and vinegar oucoa day. He will bo sound in a shorttime.

Curixq SciUTcnEs. Take white pinepitch, rosin, beeswax, and honey, oneounce each, fresh lard ono-hal- f pound ;melt well together over a slow fire; stirtill quite thick, so that tho parts maynot settle and separate. This also makesan excellent application for harnessgalls, cuts, and sores of all kinds onhorses or cattle.

CnAxoiso a Gait. A blacksmith hassucceeded in changing the gait of a pa-cing horso to that of a trotter by simplyfastening an extra pair of shoes, heavierthan usual, to his forefeet, wheneverle wants tho horso to trot, and takingthem off at all other times. Tho suddenchango of weight or his forefeet forcestho horses to change his gait.

Good Advice. When your horsostumbles, never raise your voice thocreature dreads its mat-tor'- s chiding;never jug tho reins the mouth of thehorso is far more sensitive thau tho hu-man lips ; never use tho lah, tho horceis so timid that tho slightest correctionoverjwwers its reasoning faculties.Speak to tho crcaturo ; reassnro the pil-pitati-

frame, seek to restore thesoperceptions which will form the bestguard against a repetition of the faultyaction.

To Feed a Colt. It is the early careof tho colt which makes or mars thehoree. Tho danger is generally in starv-ing him rather than over-ftedin- g him.The point to be aimed at is to keep himgrowing. Ho may be fed from twoweeks old. At that time, in addition tothe milk from tho mare, he should havea hondful at first k)f oatmeal or oats,soaked in sweet cow's milk or water.Iftho mare does not give much milkthis may be gradually increased up totwo qnarts of oatmeal or oats iu a fewweeks. No corn should be given to acolt at any time, and all the oats he wi'leat up clean and with an eager appetitemay be given without danger. Heshould be brushed daily.

Tho Chevalier Scory, iu his voyage tothe Peak of Teneriffe, says that theyfound in ono of the sepulchral cavernsof that mountain the head of a Gaunchewhich had 80 teeth, and that the bodywas not less than 15 feet long.

The giant Ferragus, si tin by Orlando,nephew of Charlemagne, was 18 feethigh.

llioland, a celebrated anatomist, whowrote in 1011, says that some years be-fore there was to bo seen in the suburbsof St. Germain tho tomb of tho giantIsoret, w ho was 20 feet high.

In Itouen, in 1509, in digging in theditches near the Dominicans, they founda stone tomb containing a skeleton,who.se skull held a bushel of corn, andwhose shin-bon- e reached up to thogirdle of tho tallest man there, beingabout four feet long, aud consequentlythe body must havo been 17 or 18 feethigh. Upon tho tomb was u plate ofcopper, whereon wus engraved, "Inthis tomb lies tho noble and puissantlord, tho Chevalier 11 icon do Vallemont,and his bones."

Piaterus, n famous physician, declaresthat ho saw ut Lucerne tho true humaubones of a subject which must havobeen at least 11) feet high.

Vulcnco, in Dauphine, boasts of pos-sessing the bones of the giant Buctrt,tyrant of tho Vivarais, who was slain byuu arrow by tho Count do Cabillon, hisvassal. The Dominicans had a part ofthe shin-bon- e, with the articulation ofthe knee; and his rfgnre pointed in fres-co, with an inscription showing thatthis giant was: 22 feet high, nnd thathis bones wero found in 1705 near thebanks of tho Morderi, a little river otthe foot of tho mountain of Crussol,upon which, tradition Eays, the giantdwelt.

Jan. 11, 1013, somo masons diggingnear tho ruins of a castle in Dauphine,in a field which by tradition had longbeen called tho Giant's Field, at thedepth of 18 feet discovered a brick tomb30 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 8 feethigh, on which was a gray Btone, withthe words Thcutobochus Rex cut there-on. When the tomb wns opened, theyfound a human skeleton entire 25feet long, 10 feet wide across theshoulders, and 5 feet deep from thebreast-bon- e to tho back. His teethwero about tho sizo each of an ox'sfoot, aud his shin-bon- e measured fourfeet.

Near Mezarino, in Sicily, 151G, wasfound a giant 30 feet Iu'rIi ; his headwas the sizo of a hogshead, and each ofhis teeth weighed five ounces.

Near Palermo, in the valley of Maza-r- a,

iu Sicily, a skeleton of a giant 30feet long was found iu the year 1548,and another of 33 feet high in 1550 ; andmauy curious persons have preservedseveral of theee gigantic bones.

An Incident or the Mill Hirer Disaster.Northampton (Maa.J Cor. New York HeraMJAmong the multitude of strange nnd

touching events incidental to thiscalamity is one showing tho remarkablesagacity and intelligence of the canineraco which is worthy of record. Col.Haydeu, ono of the sous of tho lateLicnL-Go- v. Haydeu, owns a noblo dogof the St Itoniaril simsmpji TTrt li.i fora long timo been a tillage favorite, and j

pel of tho school-childre- who wero!taught near the Haydeu residence. Hewas as punctual at his receives as thoforemost child. Tho little ones couldadorn his tail with fancy ribbons, windtheir jumping rones all around lmn. ana

sendhimlo fetch stickvpuh him offtne Dank into tho river, harness him upana run the streets with switch in hand,and in fact do almost anything withhim, and yet he was their close friendand protector. It is said of him thatho had a sin-cia- l liking for little girls,aud that ono of his greatest faonteswas tho little Birmingham girl who wasswept down and lost with her father, andail her brothers and sisters. A putfrom-he- r hand was seemingly enoughto repay him for waiting until '

was out, when he would almost invnti- -iiuiy accompany iter nome. Jitit tnemastiff had another friend in Mr. EliBryant, tho father of Mrs. Col. II lyden,u gentleman something over hixtyyears of age. Ho was delighted to bowith him, uneasy when ho was nwny,and always when he could, ho wouldaccompany tho old gentleman in hiswalks about the village. Mr. Bryantwus among tho victims of tho disaster,and so wero many others of tho dog'sout irieuus. Jt said that no humanbeings r expressed a keener sciio ofthe general surrounding sadutKt thanhe. His movements even in the bustleand confusion of tho occasion weronoticeable. Ho went to tho school-hous- e,

but came almost directly homoagain. He introduced himself upon thodomain of the family, and was in awrypart of tho houso MiiiOiug about. Anold pair of boots of Mr. Bryant's at-

tracted his reented attention, as didalt-- several articles of clothing of hislost fiiond. Sunday afternoon hestarted out and followed thofor bodies on tho meadow lands. Thisafternoon he was seen on 3Iillers Hate,pawing in the sand. His actions finallyexcited huflicieut attention to attractvisitors, who found that he had dugquite a trench. In this excavation thectiuso of tho creature's vigorous efforts "aud his barking was explained. Therewas disclofcd tho lower portion of aman's limb, tho toes of bin shoes beingupturned. They could havo hardlybeen moro than half .exposed to viewwhen the dog discoveicd them. Thonext half-hou-r revealed tho form of Mr. IBryant. As tho workmen prosecutedtheir digging around tho lody tho doglay down at tho feet. Finally, when thjface was exposed to view, the paorcreature seemed overjoyed, but when ucloth was wrapped mound tho rigidform and tho removal was begun, thenoble animal rcenied bowed with griefand sullenly and radly he followed theparty home. Diligent search had beenmade for these remains in this exactlocality, and it is barely possiblethat any human being could havo everfound the imbedded corpse. It is rea-sonable to believe that sorno of thoenow missing aro beneath the sand-bed- s,

which wecre swept over the intervidsnnd loft by the Hood, their bones to bofound in after timo by accident or bytho changing of theeoursoof Mill river.The epot where Mr. Brynnt's body wasfound is many yards from the river bed. of
