MB?EMO Ull I'll III ?H A WILD BViUlO CHASE | EXCITiNG HUNT ON THE SLOPES OF j MOUNT ORIZABA. A PfriloQi Ri^o at ISroaknook Speed oa Weil Trained "<ln*tai?s:w That lx?- j dcrntood Their Uaainritti?Flight ot the Lariat. We were bigh on tbe slopes of Mount Orizaba, in California, creeping around a spur from rock to rock, in the center of as wild and remarkable a country as can be imagined. The peak rose above us almost perpendicularly, the slope of rock falliug away on every side, lost in the deep canyons that cut into and surrounded tbe base. One great ridge reached away to tbe distant ocean, another rose, a precipitous cliff, while still another was a mass of rocks and cacti, impenetrable and impassable except by the wild goats that made it. tbc-ir home. Trow near the summit a magnificent wrac niirainptl. The entire length ot Santa Cataliua was at our feet, with its mountains, ridges, its deep canyons , ?a maze of shadows, while to the south: west, low and forbidding, Jay i?au I Clemente and to the north Sau Nicolas, j a-spot on the horizon. To the east the 1- Sierras oil the mainland raijed their slopes, ever changing in tint from pink , to purple. The higher we crop', leading our well trained mustangs, the stronger camo the wind, and with it the faint bleat of the wild goat on some distant crag, or the hoarse cry of the bald headed eagle that circled high abovo ths summit. We were not in search of the herds of goats which frequent the summit, bnt a rarer game?a small herd cf wild burros, which had for years roamed the centra] portion cf the island, defying capture. The slope of the mouutaiu was filled with cactus and rock that had rolled down from the summit, and the slightest carelessness would have created a fatal slide for horse and rider. At last we stood on a lofty pinnacle that overlooked the series of ridges extending to the west. Almost two miles away a herd cf wild goats could be seen noving along over the gray ridges. Immediately below were three deep canyons, and on a small mesa or slope, extending down into a grove of cottonwoods, were three dark objects that in the peculiar atmospheric conditions looked enormous. They were either wild cattle or the wild burros of our search and that they had seen us even at this long distance was evident, for they stood a womeur, then turned and disappeared down the slope cf Cottonwood canyon. Wo inmnpfl info thp saddle and skirt ed the mountain side as rapidly as possible, then coming to an impenetrable slope dismounted aud led the horses, sliding over the talus, until the ridge was reached, then mounted and rode down into the canyon at full speed, finally reaching the divide over which the mysterious game had disappeared. As we approached wc moved with the greatest caution aud finally, looking over a ridge, saw before us a long mesa reaching down into a green aud deep canyon. The mesa was covered with loose rocks, and in the center rose a great mass of porphyry, grim and forbidding. We rode-oarefully over the divide, when suddenly, changing our position, we saw not 300 yards away the three strange objects. There was no mistaking them now. They were the wild burros?great brown and black fellows, their enormous ears staudiug erect, all facing us aud well bunched. We stood perfectly still, wondering if it were possible to get nearer before making the charge, aud then, as they s torued, we slipped behind the rocks aud rau onr horses at this barrier. But when we reached it wo found that the cuuuing burros had gone at full speed 400 or 500 yards and were again standing waiting for developments. A little canyon entered the mesa near us, and into this wo walked and rau the horses under cover for some distance, then, lookiug to the crucbes.'thc lariat carrier taking bis rope in baud, we put spurs to our horses and dflfched up to the divide. Our calculations had been correct. ..Not 500 feet away stood the burros, exactly as before, but looking fixedly at the big rock where we had disappeared. The wiud was from them, aud they had not scented us. The momeut we appeared fhey wheeled like antelopes aud dashed away over the rocks, and there followed as wild a race as one would care to indulge in. The borrcs rau like deer along the mesa, whil9 the mustangs, mad with excitemeut, simply flew over the field of rock. Ic seemed incomprehensible that a burro could distance a mustaug, yet these clumsy creatures, at home in the rough country, gradually iucreased their speed and plunged over the rocks with the greatest ease, now down a steep arroyo, dashing along tho rocky bottom, up the otber side, pounding the gravel, leaping gullies aud finally making for the mountain side. Their maneuvers showed their cunning, for they invariably selected the roughest places, hoping to discourage the horses. The mustangs followed a breakneck pace, yet never stumbling, until finally we began to gaiu, and then the hvrses on/1 tro trorft nr*nn fho flrinrr P|'Ui tCUj OlJU 1* Q ??

LUNATICS' LEGACIES. TheQiieernrr/ncstiiTlint Are Prompted l?y ItiKnitr I nnoirx. Perhaps one of the saddest things in connection with lunacy is the tendency of the insane patient to make his will and his bequests usually take a very extraordinary form. Needless to say, tlio documents become mere waste paper, so far as their legality is concerned, but the doctors, in crder to humor the afflicted ones, treat the wills in question with tlio greatest respect. A patient confined at a large a ylnra near London drew up an elaborate will i by which he left a section of Jiis prcp* erfy to the mikado of Japan, on condition that ho (the mikado) visited the testator's grave once everv year and planted it with chrysanthemums. The remainder of the estate was to be hand- i ed over to an imaginary charity called i the Drothtrly Love and Poonty society. i father ludicrous perhaps was the he- i quest of the lunatic who bad been in a ! Parisian asylum for many years. lie do- ; vised that the whole of hie fortune (and ho possessed a considerable amount), j should bo divided between the possessors j of Kouiau noses residing in and near Paris. He himself possessed a rather handsome nose of the shape in question, t am ahabiAar M-tlWfcfc* J . _ wlii~S lRise lie "Was cttli&iIVtu'y Uu'm "r- j ing, and he, therefore, made the will mentioned. Somewhat similar was the i bequest of a patient in the same retreat, who left iiis property to one of the attendants because he possessed the ugliest nasal organ which he (the testator) had ever seen. One might laugh heartily at such vagaries as these were it not that the sad condition of mind which prompted them forbids any semblance of mirth. In a large asylum in the Midlands there was a lunatic who believed that he had been confined in the establishment unjustly, and he would constantly assert that ho was as sane as the doctors themselves. One day, feeling somewhat indisposed, be resolved to make his will, and after many hours'*work he produced an elaborate document, ly which be devised his property to the commissioners of lunacy to enable them to engage a large staff of men for the purpose of visiting asylums with a view to discovering whether any sane pa tients were retained there. He declared that the staff of people j r? i!.~ f vifiMho in. appoimeu iui tnu wv?n. ?.* sane establishments was not adequate for the work, ami that if a proper body of men were engaged there would be less chance of sano individuals being kept in durance vile. This legacy certainly seemed reasonable enough, and it was indeed far more reasonable than the testator whose peculiar delusion was that he was tho pope of Rome. When lunatics' wills take a more sensible shape, "they are chiefly distinguished by their disproportionteness. A certain insane patient, when making his will, lett several thousands of pounds to his mother-in-law (a person whom, by the way, be had disliked heartily when in the land of the sane), and the sum of fid. to his brother, to whom he had been devoted. Equally extraordinary was the testament of the gentleman who directed that the built of his imaginary property should be handed over to bis attendant at the asylum, while he desired that the doctors at the same place should merely receive tho interest on the said amount. Strange, very strange, and extremely sad. Ent perhaps the most extraordinary will on record in connection with mad people was the document left by an inmate of a workhouse insane ward, lit believed that lie was the owner of the whole universe, and lie bequeathed the same to a certain famous actor, whom, iu days gone by, he had often seen and admired. The actor in question has often metaphorically bad the world at his feet, but probably never before bus be received such a singular token of nppre ciation as this mad gift of the dead madman.?Pearson's Magazine.

One of Parson Eavsns's Fights. One of the most. beautiful and | thrilling narratives of James Havens, the original of tire 4 fighting Parson Magiuder," who figures in Mr. KJward Kgglesion's 'Circuit llider." I has not been told by that author. It. ! was 1 elated at a rc-cent ccufei euce bv ! an old companion of Rev. Mr. H??| vens.

Par soil Havens, " 9 though a man of peace and wonderful gentleness, was a redoubtable antagonist, when attacked by ruffians of this stamp. "While still a young nun. Havens was orce eating his breakfast at tbe cabiu of an old couple in a thinly settled region, when the doorway I was suddenly darkened by a big, ruffianly-looking man, who demand ed: "Be you Havens, the fighting preachei V ' My name is Havens, and I am a preazber," said the circuit-rider. "Well, I reckon you'd better get through your breakfast right smart, for I'm goiu' to give you a good thrashin'." uWell," returned Havens, "I don't remember to have seen you before, and if I've ever crossed your track, it was because yon were up to some mischief that called for discipline." "He>? You pushed me over a high bank^an' I got my face scratched up. I've ben lookia' for you some time, au' now I'm goiu' to lam you!" "Very well: come with me down ia the hollow," said Havenp, "and if you're determined to thrash me, I'll give you a chance. Bat let us get well away from this cabin, where these old people won't have to see or witness the trouble." The preacher started out with the' ruffian down toward the woods. They went part of the way ia silence, the ruffi m now and the glancing at the preacher, and seeing no sign either of fear or bravado in him. Presently the man suid: ' See here, Havens, you'd better go back. I'm a hard fighter, and I'll hurt you bad." ' Oh, no," said the preacher: "if you want to fight, you'd better not stop on my account." They went on, and reached the seclusion of the hollow. When they got there, the ruffian said: "Let's turn round, elder. I te 11 you, I'm a pretty mean mar!" "Well, let's sit down here a minute." Havens led the way to a log, and both sat down on it. Then, with a little talk, the preacher drew from the fellow a confession of the wild life he had hd, and spoke cornfojting words to him. In a little while both men were on their knees, with faces bowed upon the log. and the woods resounded with prayer such as few but this pioneer exhorter cauid offer. The old people back at the cabin heard it, and knew what turn the "fight" had taken. They came down and j ;ined the "meeting," and before l.-mnr lioritfc>r AP.P fif ITuVPrs's? promising converts.
