THE MULE GUARD. How a Novada Stage-Driver #ro- tectod the Cash-Hox San Francisco Chronicle ** "Tain't no use trying ordinarily to save anything but your lives when a gang of road agents as kuows their business tackles a stage couch,” re marked Long Bill to a Chrouicle re- porter, - “A party of men standing on the ground, with everything ready, no horses to tend to and nothing o do but sight their sl oting-irons and pleasantly suggest to the deiver to hand down the cash-box, lasa big edge in the g quards, or ‘shotgun messengers’ as wWe call them in the mountains, can't help being taken more of less by surprise; and Lmay remark right here (hat until you have been suddenly ealled upon to look down the opening of a double-barreled shotgun, which has o road agent with his hand on the tric ger at the other end, you can have no idea how surprised you are capable of being. 1 have been thar, I have had a seven-shooter pulled on me across u faro table; Thave proved that the hilt of adirk can’t go botween my ribs; T have seen four aces beaten by a royal flush; but T was never really surprised until T looked down the muzzle of a double-barreled shot-gun in the hands of a road agent. Why, my friend,the mouth of the Sutro tunnel is like a nail-hole in the Pacific hotel compared to a shot-gun from a certain point of view. But this is alla lllisn‘ al. was going to tell you about the time I did seo a couple of road agents left, In '63 there was a plucky little stage driver running out of Aurora who had been stopped threo times on the road, but still driving, though after a man is stopped twice the company general- ly lots him do something ~else for a living, without intimating that he is any friend of the robbers, “Jake was the fellow’s name and he wanted to go on the trip without guards, Why? asked the stage manager. 'Cas I want to ‘fool dose tam roat agents,” so the stage manager agreed not to send any guards with him, ~ When the time came to hitch up for the trip to Wel- lington’s, on the Carson road, Juke went down to the stable and insisted upon having the ugliest pair of mules that ever winked death with a hind leg, put in as lead team. ‘I'll zhow how a mule vas more smart as o guard,’ said ¢, confidently, as he whipped up out of town, with myselt as the only outside passenger. ‘If we gets a call to-night, Phil, shust you drop down in te boot, 'cause me ant dose mules vas goin’ to haf some fun.’ I noticed that Jake had a shot-gun, cocked and pointed straight ahead, and told him if he was stopped and attempted to raise the gun he would get shot sure. He said he did not propose to make such a fool of him- self, and when T asked him'if he thought the robbers would carsfully place themselves in line of the gun, which appeared to be pointed at the lead mule's ear, he said: ‘¢ ‘Nefer you mind, Phil; I knows dose mules.” If we get a call you drop into de boots; dot's all.’” Well, sure enough, we got a call. We were jog- ging along over an easy bit of road, when, about 9 o'clock, a couple of road agents sprang out from some chaparral. One grabbed the bits of the lead mules and the other walked toward the coach with his gun leveled, and said, ‘Throw out'that box.’ Just as he got opposite the hind leg of the lead mule Jake's shotgun went off and we both dropped into the boots, 1 thought every {mue in my body would be splintered before Jake crawled out, gathered up the reins, and finully got the teams quieted down, At the pop of Jake's gun the mules and horses had Bhlrtci off on a mad run, and we must have bumped and dragged over ten miles of road before Juke took the reins again. The only damage was to the mules. Jake hal shot away the inside ear of each mule.” “But what became of the two rob- bers?” asked the reporter as Long Bill stopped in his story, ““The robbers! Well, T really don't know. The company would have buried them, I suppose, if enough of them could have been scraped off the chapparal to putin a coftin. Those mules always were considered high kickers,” —— Mr. Weiss' Mistake, Cincinnati Commercial, A queer story comes from New York about a good old husband who deeded all his property to his wife, He was a German, named George Weiss, He was a tailor, and well-to-do. His fits were perfect. His charges were high enough to make his shop exclusive, More than o quarter of a century ago Mr. Weiss married a pretty girl, She was just eighteen, und he was quite old enough to be her father, But he thought he was making u good mateh. The young lady was certain she was making a good one. Sons and daughters were born to the pair, four sons and two duughters, The father spent great sums of money on their education. The daughters learned piano-pounding and high art, They even painted under the glaze, it said. The sons revelled in swallow- tail coats and low-cut vests from the home shop. They had new Atriped trousers and horseshoe sleeve-buttons every week, if they wanted them, All this time their old father was growing older and more feeble. But their mother remained young and hand- some, Finaily, in 1874, Papa Woiss be- came too feeble to work any 1me His right hand forgot its cunning, and when he would have cut out swell pantaloons his eyesight deceived him and he made thgm swell in the wrong place. Ho lost command oyer his shears and goose Then it was he bethought him that he did not care about working any more, He had houses, lands, and gold galore. “I will throw aside thimble and needles,” said he, 7| will end my days in the bosom of my family. ~ Henceforth I will enjoy ease with digoity, at home with my beautiful wife, my aristocratic gone and my fiue-spun daughters, The breadth of my happiness shall be such that no measuring tape can compass it. The thickness of its girth shall be such that no shears can suip it off.” Thus he reasoned. He gathered up madame and the children that had cost him 8o much money, and went and dwelt in a fine brown stone front in Forty-second street, The family, all but the old man, went into good me. The driver am | society. Madame and the children were fond of luxury and lively socioty They wero ashamed of the old man whose money had given them all this pleasure, though, and they left Lim at home, Missing his accustomed shears and measuring tave, he foll ing brooding, melancholy ways. Fina'y | huving nothing else to do, he becaui mixed up in a lawsuit, At th ime e transferred all his possessions to his wife's name. Tt wasn't that he loved her so much exactly. It was more because he loved his money so mueh, and was afraid of losing it The lawsuit was decided in hig favor. Then this kind, good husband who had given everything to his wifo, gently but tirmly requested ler to hand it over to him again, But what would you have?! Madameo rospect fully declined. Moreover, the highly cducated children took sides with their handsome mother, They re solv put the old man down sys. lly. His wifo began to scold y and night, urging him to go and live somowchero else. They didn’t want him hanging around their house, they said, They persceuted him, nagged and insulted” him, They did not allow him to eat in peace. He bore it all meokly, as a well regulated husband should do. He luqn.-nrby gentloness, sweet temper and obedience to win his wite's affections back again, He had probably noticed that that wus how it was dne in books. But it didn’t work that way in real life. 1t never does. A jolly row 1s worth all the meekness in the world in clearing up matters. The more sweet-tempor- cdand obedient Mr. Weiss became the more his fine lady wife cuffed him about. She huppered to remember about this time that she had only known lum a week when she married him. She remembered, too, that she had heard after she wis marvied that some time in his life he had had two sunstrokes. Putting this and that to- gether wasn't he crazy? Oh, yes. He nust be crazy. ~ She had him arrcst- ed. After being five days in the Toombs he was released. The old gentleman went homo at night. He unlocked the door with his little latch key, but it wouldn’t open, A new bolt had been placed on the in. side. His beautiful wifo had done it to keep lum out. Tt was a cold night, and suow was falling thick and fast, He rang the front door bell. He wanted to get in out of the cold. Just then a window opened above, and somebody called out to him: “Be off, vou old vagabond! We don't want you here," The voics was that of his eldest son. He turned away and walked ofl in the suow. He never troubled his high- toned family any more after that. Ho rented a miscrable room in a tene- ment house, and went to work for his living, in a feeble way., He shoveled coul, and did errands, and finully opened a_wretched little shop whero he did tailor work and mending and patching. But the living he made was no more than half-starvation. He had plenty of time to meditate on the wisdom of men who deed their property to their wives to keep from losing it in a lawsuit. ‘The hole where he lived was miser- able beyond description. He had no furniture but a broken old bedstead and one or two rickety chairs, He was always sad and down-hearted, and reserved toward people in general, But the children of his poor neighbors made great friends with him, They used to visit him in his wretchedroom and he would talk with them by the hour, At last the poor old creature's eye- sight failed him, 8o that he could not do tailor work any more, Then he slowly starved. For weeks his only food was bits of ary bread dipped in stale beer. He became very weak and fellill. Meantime one of his clegant daughtershad married a wealthy down- town broker. They lived grandly, and “oceupied excollent, positions in metropolitan society,” the newspaper reporter says, Onenight old Mr. Weiss's humble neighbors saw him ou his knecs upon the floor praying, with tears str ning down his cheeks, Next morning he did not muke his appearance as usual, Fearing he was worse than usual they knocked at the door, There wus no answer. The body of the w ed man hung dangling by a clothes-line from the transom. He had com- mitted suicide. The children of the tenement house cried - bitterly when they heard of it.

Toston Commercinl Bulletin, They have a way of cooking ripe okra secds with boiled rice, which looks very nice and tastes good, too, the contrast between the scarlet of the okra and the snowy grains of rice, as only people with black skins know how to cook it, being quite artistic, Bananas and plantains, their cousing Germain, are i immenso variety, from the immense coarse horso-plan- tain to the delicate little fig banana, or still tinier Franch plantain. Green, they are roasted in their own leaves and come up for breakfast cnwrapped in dainty napkins like rolls, which they not distantly resemble when sc treated, or they are boiled, and are by no means bad when treated in that way, forming an excellent ingredient in soup, or they, when ripe, are sliced lengthways and ‘ried by themselves, or in combination with fish, or boiled or sliced across and eaten with milk, condensed juat as it came, or diluted to taste, which improves it or alters it, just as strawberrics are disguised by the addition of cream. There are oranges, sweet and sour, the sweet ones when full but still groen, with a faint streak or spot of yellow just appearing, being delicious.

The cabbage palm of patmareal, as it is called in Cuba, roars its majestic column in the forest, towering over every thing elso and bearing on its summmit spike of tender, green, compact vegetable matter which forms the choicest of salads or pickles. There are some mangoes, but stringy, turpentiny, and generally far inferior to those found in Tndin. Several of the palu.etoes furnish pleasant fruits, some of the nut kind and others of translucent jelly of various hue characterized by a sort of cocoanut flavor with a famt squeeze of lime Juice. Sugar-cane is everywhere, and the children seem to me to live chicfly on it, and coffee cnough for home consumption grows with the slightest ca: tempted in the market with piles of tartitlas, or horrible sour pancakes, made of eggs and corn-meal, frijoles, or small russet boans, which will make admirable soup; tasajo, or sun- dried jerked-beet, in str which dip into a sauce of |m||m‘ml Chili peppers and devour with delight, and bacalao,similar prepatation of coarsely salted fish. Tt is wonderful how fond the people down there are of salt cod and mackerel and salt pork, a taste profitably catered to by resident merchants, while, almost waeging surrounding waters, mn lake, river and sen, abound in beautiful fish. Large quantitios of fish are eaten, however; and I know of no trout or salmon more delicate than the mountain calipriver, which, indeed, tastes and looks like a salmon, while the snap- pers, rockfish, crayfish, Jewish and old wives (a pecular three-cornered looking thing, with such small scales on its leathery hide that it is general- ly supposed to have none), Spanish mackerel, honito (often anl'nls, the swiftest of fish and the dread enemy e as one sails the bay and drop like o of partridges, exhausted a moment after, are all worthy of men- tion as fit for an Alderman’s fonst, Then there are land-crabs, too unpleasantly sy tive, though, for their choson haunt is a fat cemetery, and T uever could touch one, — BANANAS AND PLANTAINS, 1 Their V- victies and How They are 1 J.
