STAGE R9AD LANDLORDS. B Soma Anecdotes About Them?How a Jodffi R Forajjpii a Moal?Ben Stlekney's RnSe[ A Costly Gneet~5toHe?of 8U<efi 8t*? [ x Passengers and Landlords. The race of the stage road Boniface i dying out rapidly. Pullman dicing car are doing for" him what railroads havi already done for the Jehus of the stage coach.' The places that once knew then will soon know them no more, and man; old travelers over our Western plain and mountains who enjoyed the read; wit and cheerful off-handedness of thi one, and the rude hospitality am abundant cheek of the other, will sadh miss these tjpoa of Western Amen can ism. It was more common years ago than i has been recently for landlord and stag driver to have an understanding wit! each other, whereby, for a consideratio: paid the driver, hungry travelers wer scarcely allowed time to comfortably sea themselves at table, when the drive would announce the immediate departur of the stage, thus cheating people out c a meal who paid for one. I remembe being one of a stage load of hungr travelers crossing the Sierra Nevada before railroads had spanned it, when noted judge, still on the bench, and ai equally noted professor of an Easter: college were of the party. Our arriva at a dining station was hailed with de light by all the party, and we filed infc the dining-room to attack the savor; viands, the landlord, however, firs taking care to collect the fee for th meal from each of us. We had cer nr?f Knan fwA minnf.PH flf, t.VlA and some of us, in waiting to be helpe< to coffee, had not tasted a mouthful o food, when our driver shouted: "A1 aboard. I'm behind time, and can' wait a minute longer." A look of min gled consternation and disgust sprea* from face to face as we sprang from th table, but the judge remained cool, as h touched the professor on the arm. "Will you see to the bread supply if I take care of the meat ?" he queried The Professor caught at his purpos and promptly assented. In another in stant the Judge had conveyed a larg turkey and a coupie of spring chickens ready carved, from their platters to tw napkins, while the Professor emptie< the contents of the bread plates ink another, and led by the Judge the; marched triumphantly to the coach Their erc^ple was contagious ; each o the passengers hastily confiscated som article of food?meats, vegetables, even and pastry?until the dining-room wa pretty thoroughly stripped of every thing that went to make up the concom mitants of a good meal, and the interio of the coach bore the* appearance, ! imagiue, of a bivouac of Sherman' bummers after a raid, while the bewild ered and amazed look on the face of th speechless landlord as we drove oi would have proven a priceless study t< any artist. The roars of laughter i caused us proved a good condiment t< our strangely improvised meal. The way Ben. Stickney got over i tricky Boniface of this stamp is mor ' amusing. Ben. was manager of ?no o the silver mines on the "Comstock,' and made frequent trips between thi mine and San Francisco. The landlon at Strawberry, where the stage stopper * - for meals, prided himself on setting a tempting a table, so far as looks went as any first-class hostelry in San Fran cisco. Certainly the table linen wn? o the whitest, the china a genuine n . le the silver service rich and abuuu*uit and the spoons and forks solid 6ilver but as to the quality of the viand served on this sumptuous table, th memory of stage travelers vouched not for owing to the understanding betweei htage-driver and landlord, none of thee r were ever known to have secured ; whole meal there. Ben Stickney havinj been a victim to their little game a gooc Vv many times, at last swore loud and lont< to get his money's worth the next tim the traveled that way. Occasion sooi led him there among a stage load c hungrv travelers, who were only com fortably seated at the table of mine hos of the Strawberry, when they were hiu ried from their scarcely tasted meal b the threat of the driver to go off withon i them. But Ben, with utter unconcerr JSj sat still -while the stage drove away, an enjoyed the good things with which th table was laden. Ben ate enough f that meal to supply a good sized famil i with sufficient provender for a day. H - ' -- -- -- ?-?-i-*? - xi. 'VjUj was jusi putnngui uie uiusiuug wu^juc i when the landlord approached him, pal rand excited. ? "Pardon me, Bir," he stammered " but?but my silver spoons and frss are missing." "Well, you do^fc .appose I have them, do you demanded, looking up haughtilj^ "Ohuo, not at all, ?bt I thought yoQnig'ht krow if any of the stage" pas -^tftfgers had taken them; that is, I mean, if any of them acted suspiciously, you know?" "Well," answered Ben in a mollified tone, " that does remind me that I saw one of them?a pretty hard-looking fellow?handling tne contents of the spoonholder very familiarly." "Would you be able to recognize him, sir f eagerly questioned Boniface. ,;Ex3us? me, but the .stolen articles were solid bQtqt.' 1 never set down any other kihd far my guests, sir." *" Yes, I'd know the rascal anywhere," Ben replied, confidently. " If I hitched up a team and overtook the stage, -would you be kind enough to Bp?re the time, and the landlord and spanking pair, 4 grade " toward _ A~.. yty gait. But e^ay mtfctoi tk^^ertake a Pior-~. ph/drawi by six untamed mus^^Tiercileaely lashed by the whip. ' J^sn enjoyed the ride, however, and when, after two hours of wild driving by Boniface, the coach wag hailed and stopped, much to the wonderment and alarm of its inmates,- ?nd the pursuers with i'oam-covered horses drew' alongside. Ben sprang down from his comfortable * seat and got into the stage. " Is that fellew in there ?" shouted the landlord. "He's here, sure, big as life," Ben shouted back. "Thunder! Just show him to me." " I'm your man," answered Ben, with illimitable coolness. "You! ye?ye?you!" stuttered th( landlord in blank amazement. " Just so, my friend. You'll find the missing spoons and forks in the ice-cooler. Thanks'Mr. Boniface for a squar* meal and a pleasant ride. Drive on, Johnny!" "Sold, by the eternal," groaned th( lancuora, as, iasmng ms norses, ne arovt off amidst the shouts of the amused pas pengers. An experience of a somewhat differenl character was that which is frequently told at the expense of a landlord. Th< stage drew up at his ranche one day with a passenger list so beggarly that il - reduced the expectdht and smiling Boni faoe to a state of despair, and to an ab struse calculation of his profit and lost .account. Among the few dust-begriinec passengers that filed in to feast on the ? good things spread on his hospitabh board, was a verdant looking individual, who tightly clutched one of those old' fashioned, capacious mouthed carpei bags with vast bowelled depth that ouj grandfathers used in their journeys, anc .that was usually laden with two shirtf and a month's luncheon. This particular carpet bag was notable only for tht apparent extreme paucity of its contents, and when our verdant traveler sluni bashfully to the unoccupied end of th? long dining table, and seated himself ii one of the chairs, he deposited his dusty bag on a vacant chair at his side. S< inHn?trinnslv did he attaok the viandf before him, that Boniface tapped hin on the shoulder several times before he hurriedly produced a dollar, the usua price of a meal. " Your bill is two dollars," said Bonii .; face. k? " Two dollars, if you please." ^'Groshall mighty, landlord," he ex gH med, "you don't mean to say yoi > fellow tvro dollars for a meal like jfflL charge is a dollar for everj gHft 'pied at the table. Your bag 38 a seat, and the charge foi H A me^as for a person/' . " But, Jedge, 6ee here, now, the b?f hain' eaten a mouthful" D "-Oan't help that ; there are the - viands before it, and if it don't partak< 6 of them, it isn't my fault. Come, sir pay over ; I haven't time to argue th< 8 matter." s "Wall, squire, maybe it's all right e i but it seems mighty rough on a fellow, - Here'B your two dollars." i And the owner of the bag sat dowi f and hastily finished, his meal, amid tb 8 audible smiles of his fellow-passen?^8 Y and the very perceptible grino? exulto 0 tion on the landlord's face. His mea 1 done, he turned to his bate, opened it y shook out its creases and folds, and wit! - provoking sang froid, thus addressed it loud enough for all in the room to hear "I beg your pardon, Mr. Bag, fo e making you wait for the second table k Hungry, eh ? I should rather think sc Q with nothing inside of you but a shii 6 and a paper collar, and there isn't muc! substance in them.

Wei] 0 you are cheeky; but here they are. Yo 7 don't wait to pick 'em, I see. Some mor t biscuit ? There you have 'em " e Suiting his actions to these words, th owner of the bag stuffed into its caps '? cious interior everything edible that la; ^ 1 T- 31 rtnn J who in niB reacn, regaruieoo ui iuu wu j sternation depicted in the face of th J landlord, who rushed up to stop him. " This is robbery, sir; downright rot - beryl"1 he thundered. "I will not; sub 3 mit to it." 6 "See here, now, squire, just kee; 6 cool and -w e'll argue this," calmly replie the verdant one, not letting up, howevei '? in his occupation of filling the bag " Didn't this bag pay for a square meal 0 What is a square meal if it isn't to ea - till one is satisfied? Isn't that sc 6 gents ?" ? '? His fellow-passengers, who were roai 0 ing with laughter, readily assented. 3 "Now, that betog the verdict of thi 0 ju.ry, let me tell you, Mr. Landlord, tha Y this bag ain't going to be satisfied unti it is chock full. I'm its friend, and an; f one that interferes with its meal will ge e eternally lammed, that's all " > He meant every word of it, and th 8 landlord wisely withdrew, looking i - splendid example of the biter bitten. " A Singular Australian Bird. A family of Australian birds, says ? TI7/v?v7o wViinli ftrA f.li WrilrCl iXl UVUl* irui WV) OU.VU ? ~ most anomalous of all in their habits y are the brush turkeys, which we ma; look upon as supplying the place of th ? pheasant and grouse, and whose uniqu domestic economy is specially adapte 3 for the peculiar conditions of Austra lian existence. The mother of a famil; a of brush turkeys is very far remove ? from the position of a domestic drudg and enjoys complete immunity from th slavery of incubation. The old birds i ? spring share the labor of collecting a 3 enormous mass of half-decayed leave and earth, five feet high, and sometime 8 forty-five feet in circumference. A '' soon as the hotbed, by the fermentatio j of the vegetable matter, attains a het of about eighty-nine degrees Fahrenheii ' the hen bird deposits her eggs, one afte \ another, in the center. They are ver ? carefully arranged in a circle on thei 8 ends and then covered to a oonsiderab] e height with leaves and earth. Whe I hatched, the young birds scratch the: own way out, and are a Die at. ditcu nc a only to run, but to fly sufficiently we tt to enable them to perch on trees out < ? harm's way. The mother, howevej seems generally to hang about tb * neighborhood, and to assumo at once tb e education and guidance of the family ^ The solution of this extraordinary p< culiarity is, as Mr. Wallace has pointe l: out, only to be found in the peculiar coi _ ditions of the open regions of Australii where prolonged droughts and scant y water supply entail a periodical scarcit of food.

An attractive series of articles on Russia, although unfriendly in tone, is now being printed in the Pall Mali Gazette, of London. That interesting subject now?the army?has justbeen considered. The corruption in the army is thus amusingly described: "The money that is set down in the estimates for the keep of a regiment is amply sufficient ii it reached its destination; but a pari somehow sticks in tho war office; another lump gets lost between the fingers of the general commanding the division ; the brigade general next mislays a portion ; finally the colonel comes, who thinks he should be a zany if he did not levy hie due commission upon the remainder. Tho major filche3 all he can, because he does not get hiB pay regularly ; the captain follows suit, and the sergeant-majoi plays the same card. The surgeon who directs the infirmary sends in a long bill for medicines, and gives his patients vodki, which cures them quite as well The quartermaster pockets the monej that snould go to mend the drains ; the ! adiutant cets a bonus from the contract ore who supply rotten -wheat and tainted meat. Meanwhile, the Russian soldiei is not discontented in the midst of his | filth and hardships. He plods on like ' one who is undergoing man's fated lot, j and in war he fights like a hero for the j men who plunder him." Fhe Ballets in His Head. I A few weeks ago the Enquirer chxomj cled the fact that a young man named George Wiedemer, who lived with hie parents near the corner of Broadway and Woodward street, riade a desperate i attempt to commit suicide by shooting five balls from a pistol into his head. l Contrary to the expectations of his family j and the attending physicians, the young I man is likely to recover. Neither ball penetrated the brain, although the skull was fractured. Four of them are still ; lodged under the scalp, having traversed the Bkull to the rear portion of the head, 5 | where they yet remain. One of them . has been extracted. The only dangei ) that the wounds may prove mortal is thai , the bones of the head mav decay. Ie this event death would be certain, though > slow. Should this not occur the unpre5 cedented spectacle would be afforded ol . a man living after receiving the contents of five pistol-barrels in his head. The t weapon was held by the would-be suv r cide in such a manner that the shots tooi -l _ i.v. ~ r 4.^1 ) eueeii ixj iuu iruuiui uuuc, uu, r and taking refuge under the scalp. ii t was certainly a providential escape froir - death, and one that is little less thar . miraculous.?Cincinnati Enquirer. 5 i ? I Egypt in New York. i The New York World says that the J Khedive of Egypt has signified his will , ingness to present to the city of Nev York, upon proper application, the twit t "Needle," the sister-obelisk of that pre sented and sent to England. This shaf I stands upon the sea-shore, a monolith o ? the granite of Syene, seventy feet ii height, and is a familiar landmark to al ) travelers who have visited Alexandria > Egypt. The hieroglyphics on its soa : ward face have been partly effaced bj > the action of the salt wind ana sprai i during more than 1,800 years, and itJ f base is so muoh worn and mutilated ) that it is likely to be prostrated by i J Mediterranean oyclone at some futuri t day. It is of the same age as the Eng ) liih obelisk? that of Thothmes HE. I which gives it an antiquity of 3,40< years. The English contractors, wh< are now conveying the latter to London are said to have offered to transport th< khedive's gift to New York, and to erec it in any location whioh may be chosen for the sum of $100,000, taking upoi i themselves the whole risk of the enter > prise.

It -was fiome time before we could disj tinguigk the speok, rising and falling with ?he sea, which had attracted the old whaleman's attention. Soon he pronounced it a''fish,"and after putting uu on the other tack to run down partly i I ^o leeward of it, went below to bring up TTTt.AWk "Urtz-1 TTTAvlrarl norlinrjfl ? nit) lruuts. vr iieu wo ijavi nuvmu a mile before it, we lay to for our final in'r btractions, the skipper took the wheel j to "keep her head on if yercan," and ; the one who held the air-tight barrel ? was told "When y're sure I've struck him, over with it." He was as cool as a cuoumber, as he r took the harpoon and cutting spade fori, ward, coiling the line (one end of which ,t was fast to the harpoon, the other to the I barrel) carefully on deck, with the cauh tion : "Warg when it flakes out,"and taking only enough with him to his roost Q on the bowsprit end to give him ample ,t elbow room. His station reached, he j. fixed the shade in the support ready to ,f receive it, laid the iron in front of him e across the cage, waved his hand, and we t| filled away, close hauled. Never was a e mile more slowly sailed by the little t. group in the pit of the White Cloud. e Never had our hearts beaten faster t< | than as we neared tne mceen ieet nun, [ I rolling, asleep, in the trough of the sea. u j Now the pilot is almost over him ; slowe ly he raises the iron, braces himself, and hurles it with all the strength of e sinewy arms. The iron sinks deeply i_ into the sleeping fish ; them is a mighty y surge, the line flakes overboard as quickL. ly as thought, the float splashes as it e disappears beneath the water, then all is still. We luff and wait. Pre sently up bobs the float. The fish finuLag the ?_ strain of the air-tight barrel too severe is coming to the surface. Now the water p bubbles and boils just under our lee, j and the swordfish breaches himself I savagely, and swims at lightning speed r* ! for the barrel. He strikes it again and ' ) J again with his sword, but it rests so it lightly on top of the water that he can,f j not injure it. Then he stops, looks at ' j us an instant, and darts toward the boat. .. i We have not time to bring her head ! around, and if he strikes it will be amid8 j ships. The pilot comes quickly aft, ,t | bringing his long-handled, threeil j cornered spade, and, as the fish comes y j within striking distance, aims one swift, t i unerring blow full at his forehead. The I terrible sword drops harmless, the up e j per muscles at its bstee are severed, and a | he passes under us, jarring the boat i and splashing us with water as he j sounds. Again the float goes under and is ,out a | of sight a longer time than before. i Again the fish throws himself out of j ! water, showing his sword down at an ' j angle of forty-five degrees. He swims g once or twice around the barrel, then e j starts to windward at too furious a speed to last with the float ploughing behind him. When we beat up he is feebly fighting it. He sounds for a short time, ^ but comes up exhausted. Once or twice e he rolls over on his side, but recovers 0 himself and swims on in short tacks. Q We press him too closely, and he charges Q us again, but we make no effort to avoid ? him, knowing that now hd is powerless j8 to injure us, nor does he try to strike, apparently realizing that his weapon is n useless, but goes undei, coming up the lfc other side. k And so he sounds and swims, fights ^ and runs, until at last he succumbs to ' exhaustion and lies still. We work up ? alongside, and as we luff the pilot puts a e lance "into his very life. There is a n shudder along his whole body, his fins ^ work convulsively a moment, and then jj. he lies motionless and dead. We rig a q tackle to our mainmast, and after conj? siderable labor get him aboard, where r we can examine at our leisure his peculg iar shape, and admire his graceful [0 "clipper build." Our Nantucketer estir mates his weight at between 500 and 600 nrmnrtR. His sword is over "three feet ? in length, its broken point and nicked edges proving that its owner was an old l as well as a fighting fish. ' Onr fish is on board, and after reserr'y ing a few choice cuts, turned over to our pilot, who asks that we run into Martha's Vinevard the he" may dispose l5e-* ^ fore he J5bils. And so we set ?ijf and ! iihvd^sails, haul off before the wind, y and lay our course northward.?Forest and Stream. He Was Fond of Astronomjv I You wouldn't have thought he had the slightest taste for the sciences had you seen him sprawled all over the salt barrels in his sleep, but he had scarcely i been registered as John Sly Hunt and ! put into a ceil when he began calling : ; " Say ! Say, you! Sav, boys, I want . a better cell. I want a cell from which I ! can look out and see Mars' moons!" Bijah went to the cell door and rei monstrated. He asked the prisoner to ; take into consideration the fact that ; being in an observatory was altogether different from being in the jug. Asi tronomers can sit up in their tall towers ! and boss their assistants around withftut ;! stint, but prisoner shave no astronomical i rights. i " Mars! Mars!

[ '' Haven't any in the house." i "Lemmesee the moons or I'll holler , all night !" howled the prisoner. Then Bijah held a private conversation > with him. There was rhyme to it. He said to him : 1 " This midnight row has got to cease, In spite of moons and Mars. i And if you don't lay down to sleep ( I'll let yon see some stars!" The astronomer was the first one to I come before his honor. He seemed a busted asteroid. He looked like a dry moon.

" And there have been many nights in your life when you .have seen two or I three moons at once, eh ?" L "Y-yes, sir." I "Naane some of the planets, will you?" " Well," reflected the prisoner, " there . i? Awful Gardner, Joe Ooburn, the Chi1 cago Times, and "? [ "That will do, Mr. Hunt. You didn't observe the transit of Venus, I suppose ?" " Not as I remember of." . "Well, sir, were you pursuing the J subject of astronomy as you lay on those . ?alt barrels ?" . " No, sir; I was pursuing the subject of sleep." I "I will put you, John Sly Hunt, t where the subject of making chairs will x worry you a great deal more than any change of the moon or disappearance of a planet.
