One warm day in July, 1878, I took passage on the west-bound overland siage coach at Tucson for Florence, a little town in the Gila valley, about seventy-five miles away.

The other passenger, who was on the box, was a Chinaman, and neither he nor Joe had any weapon stronger than a jackkmife. We were traveling on the regular Southern Overland Daily, running at that time from El Paso, Tex., to San Diego, Cal. We had with us the United States mail and a Wells, Fargo & Company express box.

Looking Into a Muzzle. “About eighteen miles west of Tucson there is a slightly rugged elevation known as the Point of Rocks. It was about 3:30 p. m. as we neared this point. The road there is very sandy, and Joe allowed his faithful steeds to proceed in a slow walk under the heavy draught. Some storm clouds were mustering in the northwest, and this gave hope, even promise, of a grateful shower for our special delight and refreshment, when suddenly, and without any preliminaries, the stage coach stopped, and the muzzle of an old six-shooter, 3v- caliber Spencer carbine was thrust in at the south door of the coach, next to which my friend, the doctor, was seated. “The carbine was seconded by a handy six- shooter, which rested in the fingers of the hand supporting the rifle barrel, and be- hind these two weapons towered the burly form of a daring highwayman.

About his ‘waist were two belts of cart- ridges, one filled with ammunition for the carbine, and the other for the six-shooter. A wicked-iooking bowie knife swinging to his side, and an extra pistol in his belt completed his costume and equipments.

Dave, for that was the informer’s name, was given his choice elther to hang or aid in the capture of Brazzleton. Preferred Not to H: He decided to hunt rather than to hang. He accordingly made an engagement to meet Mr. Brazzieton several miles south of Tucson. At: that time Charlie Shibell was sheriff of Pima county. He deputized six men to assist him in the capture of the bandit. The posse repaired to the vicinity where Dave and Brazzleton were to meet ani concealing themselves in the brush awaited the coming of the robber. zleton was to emerge from the chaperelle and lay his hat upon a log, which wouid be the signal for Dave to bring him the supplies. “Phis was done and the sherif at once commanded him to surrender. The robber made a quick motion as if to draw his guns, when the sharp reports of seven shotguns broke the stiliness of the summer afternoon.

His tragic death was but a natural sequeace of his desperate life, and I believe he was sincere when he said: “He would just as soon die as not.” oo Pay of Artists and Writers From the London Times. A leading Japanese newspaper, quoted by the Japan Mail of Yokohama, discusses | Japan. country for artists and writers. It appears that even in the feudal days, when the patronage of the nobles was often munifi- cent, genius, whether literary or artistic, earned but a poor reward. Great romence writers got from 24s. to 28s. a month, ond an immortal painter like Hokusai led from first to the last a hand-to-mout4 existence. Things have not materially improved at the present time. The highest monthly emoluments earned by writers of tiction amount to about {15, and only two or three get this much. Moreover, this is not reach- ed until the prime of life has been passed and long years of hardship ani indigence have been endured. Next to these “rare kings of their craft” come writers still in their prime, who earn from iT Ws. to {10 a | month, but even these number only tour or five, while the condition of those who devote themselves to ephemeral Hterature | is even worse. The highest sum paid to a contributor of serials to a newspaper or periodical is for-each installment in a | daily paper and 15s. to 27s. for a single in- stallment in a periodic: This rate, he ever, is earned only by one famous write and the figures go down as low as Si. to 1s. a chapter, which is the price for an obscure writer in a local paper. With painters matters are said to be even worse. There are in the Japanese capital three or four artists in oils of such caliber that they would make their mark even in direct competition with foreign painters but so little dees the public appreciate their efforts that they are barely able to earn enough to exist. Pictures of merit fail to find purchasers, or they bring little to the painter, the greater part of the price going into the pockets of the middle- }men. Thus, though the condition of the [literary class has somewhat improved since | feudal times, painters were never before in such evil plight. Years must pass beJore Japanese artists in oil can find a market abroad, and they cannot hope to find one at home until the conditions of Japanese life are radically changed, for the Japanese picture, the scroll, is perfectly suited to the style of habitation, while the oil paint- | | | | | | i j | | Consult him on business, love or anytht doctor's pistols were equally useless, «s| ing is wholly incongruous with the interior Ce ptical; v" - is.

The suicide of young Lambert at the St. Nicholas was the first tragic event of the kind which ever shocked that ultra-fashion- able hotel, and no wonder the msnagement tried to hush up any sensational stories about it. What is more, the number of the room on the register was quickly scratched off, so that no prospective guest could know in what room the tragedy occurred. No man, however strong his nerve, would care to sleep in a chamber wherein a man had just died even natural death, It some- times happens that the number of such a room becotnes so well known through the newspaper reports that it is necessary to change the number, This was the case in the Southern Hotel, St. Louis, efte> the celebrat Preller murder. Even the bell boys would not go n the room, and de- clared it was haunted. During the visit of President Cleveland to St. Louts in Iss Allen O. Mye>s found himself doubled vu with a traveling man in the Southerr Myers wanted a room by himself and r sented the intrusion. So he hit upon an ex- pedient. Going into the room while the stranger was there, Allen began packing up in hot haste. “I wouldn't stay in this room for a million dollars,” said Myers. “Why, I'm all right. I'm not a thief,” said the indignant traveler. “Oh, you are all right, but don’t you know about this room?” no. What about it?” » this is the room in which that murder was committed. Do you think T would stay in such a room? Oh, no, not Allie.” Neither will I,” said the now excited stranger, who gathered up his things and sought other quarters. Then Myers slipped back and reigned in solitary peace. Although Myers did not know it then, by a strange coincidence it was the very room in which the crime was | committed. | _———_seo-—___... | Two Selentific Lectures. | From the Pall Mall Gazette, Prof. Dewar is a ready and fluent lec- turer, always lucid and occasionally amus- ing. His “trick word” is tharfore, which is not quite so irritating as the yaas of a well-known electrical professer, who, on one occasion, completely routed a cros examining counsel by the mere repetition of this uncompromising affirmative. Prof. Dewar also says kernt for current when he gets the chance. Perhaps this is Scotch, A kernt of air driven by the pressure of the atmosphere into a vacuum travels at the rate of 1,000 feet a second, and if accom- panied by sand will cut a hole in a solid plate of gl Prof. Dewar showed this experiment one of his dectures amid great eclat, but nobody thought of connect- ing it with the interesting description which Robert Bail has lately been giving of the behavior of a diamond when confront- ed with glass, Sir Robert, in one of his popular a dresses, described the diamond as consist- an encrmous number of separate maging to and iro among them- rate of some millions of vibra- ond, all in action together, and the impact.

The danus, which is one of fift genus which inhabits trops Africa to Polyaesia, as it sticks out ‘is keen spines and threatens to pancture the hide of anything which comes near it, seems to say like the Scoich thisue: can monkey with me with impuni: a fighter.” That is one reason so big. It has made room for itself. In mature might is right; the weaker goes to ‘the wall. Protect the Young. Some other fighters will be found in the )Paim house. One is easily found by ius label Latania barbonica, and it is partic larly interesting in that it is an example of a plant protecting its young, if that is the way t@ say it. Three outer stalks, strong and well developed, each with its row of sharp pines, liclese and d@efent the tender central stalks. The leaf of a central stalk, one may see, is not allowed to pass the older staiks, lest it suffer dam- age. They keep it behind them as a mother might push her child behind her in time of danger. This young leat is kept in lead- ing strings until the stalk has grown so that it can reach out over the others and take care of itself. Meantime it will pro- duce a set of spines and join the other iks in the grea’ fight which is to de- ine what plant is fittest to survive. instinct of animals is wonderful, but instinet of the plant is equally so, That be min the larger Latania, which on its label that these palms were rered in South China in ISIS. It has oped a body, and in that at the base of the branches the fruit grows. re must be taken of that, for if the seed is not ripened they will not reproduce, end the species will suffer to that extent. See the spines on those branches around whera the fruit les. Let an animal try to get into it and ae would come out with @ sore hide. The plant would scratch him like a cat. The Pandanus ie erect, and so its nes stick straight out. Jt wants to pre- nt animals from pushing against it. The palm wants to protect ite fruit, and so ite spine points downward. as much as to say to a thief below: ‘ou come up here and Tl jab your eyes out.” In stil another palm, the great one just inside the main entrance to the conservatory, the spines are eight inches long. lock like stilettoes, and form a perfect cheveux de frise. Man, with all his thinking how to make that ob- struction to an enemy most complete, has not surpassed the genius of nature in #9 directing the points of these stilettoes as to cover every porsible approach. As a fighter this big Phenix spinosa is the,Jim Corbett of the palm house. And it is great on style. Not Pretty to Look at. t is what some of the other fighters are rot, the cactuses. They take all sorts of shapes, in stature rising from creeping stems (though there are none so large in the conservatory) to trunks ‘thirty feet high, but are neither beautiful when small nor majestic when great. They are tco abominably stupid to put on style. But what should one expect of a plant which wild grows in hot, stony places, and when cultivated js entirely happy in a sandy loam mixed with brick dust? One might as well expect style in those little black Italians of the pipe line, who have been jresred on mush and cucumbers. And the pity of it is these cactases are American from way back. Pretty nearly their only re- deeming feature is that they can fight. Big or little they are ready to do battle, untese tt be those granddaddies with the long white hair, which, like many men, are aged looking without being venerable and make one think they had best betake themselves to another world for all the good they are doing in this, Whoever it was that put the cactuses and the sleepy and leather-brained oung alligators in the same house in the conservatory had an inspiration, for they surely go together. But that is not to say at these plants are uninteresting. Far from it. They offer many suggestions as to the humors of nature, and in their sphere they are useful. If they would only wake up and look alive! They seem doubly stupid to one who goes to them from the spirited plants in the other parts of the nservatory. And even as one compares them to the monkey puzzle, the Araucaria imbricata, the young Chilean tree seen among them. The Araucanians were a South American cribe, noted for their fighting qualities. In the late Chilean war the best soldiers are said to have been the descendants of those Indians, and the most capable statesmen and commanders of that plucky little coun- try are said to be men of Araucanian blood. This tree is not unlike them. It is called Imbricata because Its stiff and hard leaves, with points sharp, are imbricated, or over- lapping, like the shingles on a roof. It bears edible nuts, which the monkeys are said to like, but its branches are so ar- ranged and its leaf points so needle-like that it puzzles a monkey to climb it. In it there is no sign of stupidity. It is wide awake, on guard at every quarter, fight- ing off everything that would rob ft, not only with its weapon-lke leaves, but with such a placing of its branches as to pre- vent the agile monkey from ascending it. In its strength, its resoluteness, its capacity for self-defense, in its dark green, almost black, it is a reminder of that valiant Arau- |canian tribe. A Rank Misnomer. But is there not fighting enough In our own struggle for existence that we need | dwell on the fighting qualities of plants? Let us go and look at something different, at the sweet and gracious cyclaman, chil sthern Europe and Western Asia, the embodiment of the loveliness of nature, to ich some reprobate gave the degrading of sow bread, because the pigs like bulb. Here you see the bud opening there the long petals shooting downward in a twist, yonder untwisting, and one after another rising at the call of the sun- lignt and enveloping the bud in a glory of exquisite white or pink. Stay and look long. The longer you look the better you will be, for here nature is tender an@ merciful and will drive out of your heart the warlike feeling aroused by the sight of the fighting plants. | | The the ma. 5 Th as cee The French. government has appointed Count De Tuzrene, consul general at Buda Pesth, and he will be replaced as consul Quebec by Mr. Kleezokswi. sister of charity, Alvina, who con- “ted small pox while caring for the pa- tients at the Chicago pest house, died Jast t after “k's illness JAND YOUR RUNDOWN SYSTEM |BUILT UP AND /REGRGANIZED.
