They were either wild cattle or the wild burros of oar search and that th^T bed seen us even ut this long di.;- ta»tt was evident, fnr they stood a mo- Yiipa, then turned and disappeared do4tft the slope of Cottonwood canyon. We jumped into tlie saddle and skirt- edj^*' mountain siile as rapidly as pos- sihto, then coming to an impenetrable slop* dismounted and led the horses, elito*g over tbo tains, until tho ridgo was reached, then mounted and rodo down into the canyon at full speed, finally reaching the divide over which tint mysterious game bad disappeared. Ait vre approached we moved with the gig—t caution and finally, looking ov'ftr a ridge, saw before us a long mesa rekctklng down into a green and deep canyon. Tho mesa was covered with loftw rocks, and in the center rose a graftt mass of porphyry, grim and for bidding. We rode carefully over the di- viftb, when suddenly, changing our po- sijftra. wo saw not «00 yards away tho ttikM strange objects. There was no irftotokiug them now. They were the wdW burros—great brown and black fel low*, their enormous ears standing erect, all facing us and well bunched. We stood perfectly still, wondering if it were possible to get nearer before mftking the charge, and then, as they turned, we slipped behind the rocks and nj* oor horses ut this barrier. But \£ton me reached it wo found that the canning burros had gone ut full speed *10® or 500 yards and were again stand ing waiting for developments. A little entoyon entered tlie mesa near us, and itftc this we walked and ran the horses ufttfar cover for some distance, then, loiclrfng to tho cinches, the lariat carrier liftnng his rope in hand, we put spurs tdf*nr horses and dashed up to tho di- vgto. Our calculations had been correct. Mb* 500 feet away stood the burros, ex- utoJy as before, but looking fixedly at the big rock where we had disappeared. Ill* wind was from them, and they hud not scented us. The moment we appear- erf they wheeled like antelopes and dashed away over the rocks, and there fafcnved as wild a race as one would <Jtoi to indulge in. The horros ran like deer along the iijcsa, while the mustangs, mad with itoeitemeut, simply Hew over the field of rock. It seemed incomprehensible that a burro could distance a mustang, yjftt these clumsy creatures, at home in the rough country, gradually increased their speed and plunged over tho rocks with the greatest ease, uow down a steep urroyo, dashing along the rocky bottom, up the other side, pounding the gravel, leaping gullies and finally mak ing fur the mountain side. Their ma neuvers 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 begun to gain, and then tho burses spurted, and wo were upon tho flying burros. We had no desire to injure them and several times could have touched them by an extra exertion. The lariat wee now circling, and a moment later it went whistling through the air and dropped over tho long ears of a burro. The broncho stopped, stiffened back upon bis haunches, and the big gest of the trio was suddenly arrested in his flight. He did not surrender, however, and finally broke tlie lariat and rushed away, only to be rop'd again after a pitiless chase.—(J. F. Holder in New York Host. Notes from Grassy Pond.

A recent numb/r erf tlio North China Herald contained an account of the ad ministration of justice by a Chinese magistrate which reminds oho of Bolo- men Two brothera, well advanced in age, quarreled over a piece of land which they had jointly inherited from their father and went to law. The native magistrate hcanii.t'lio testimony on hdth sides and determined that both were wrong and both right, according to the different points of view. Therefore, in stead of rendering a judgment in favor of either, he ordered that both be locked up in a canguo \vi*th their heads fasten ed face to f ace and kept there until they settled their quarrel. Thu caugueis a sort of cage in which prisoners are placed with their necks locked into a hole in a board. It resem bles somewhat tho stocks which were used for the punishment of malefactors in olden times. When the brothers wero placed in tho cangue, they were both very stubborn and indignant, but to ward the end of tho second day they be gan to weaken aud on the third day reached a satisfactory settlement and wore released.

Italian Youth In ivcw York. La Luce, an Italian paper of New York-city, prints an open letter of V. Palumbo to Mayor Van Wyck, in which he says: “It is my impression that there is a law that compels the attend ance of children in the public schools between the ages of 5 and 16 years. Yet us far as the Italians in this coun try are concerned this law seems to be a dead letter. There is hardly a street corner in this great city that boys of tender ago are not seen engaged in pol ishing and blacking shoes. There is not a ferryboat plying between the ferries and the shores of Long Island, Staten Island aud Jersey City that those chil dren are not seen on them engaged in the humiliating work first mentioned. Tlie humiliating part of it is that those engaged are entirely young Italians.” To subdue Nervous Irritability.

CHICAGO’S WATERWAY. Tlie ftinnllest It Ivor tho I-ar- Kest IInsiness In the World. The smallest and fiHsiost river in the world. Whore do yon think it is? Theo dore Drei.s r locates it in Chicago, und has tiiis to say ulxintit: The tirst pecul iarity of this little stream is that it is the smaller river doing tho largest bnsi- uess in the world, or, in other words, tho busiest river in tho world. In the next place, it has the greatest depth for the narrowest width of any known riv er. In the third place, it has tho largest number of bridges spanning it of any river of equal or greater length, barring the Mississippi—or a total of 52 bridges. All these are draw or swinging bridges aud carry a traffic of their own over head almost as important as that which passes below. Next, this river has little or no current to sjxuik of, and flows up ward instead of down. It is the only known river whose current has been turned round and made, as it were, to flow the other way. Lastly, it is a sort j of an orphan river, for, whereas all rivers aud harbors are owned and cared for hy Uk! United States government, the secretary of war, whoso province if is to care for these things, will have nothing to do with it, and Chicago re- I pairs it only sufficient for its now needs, j but lays no claim to the right of way. | In this strange predicament the little stream flows wretchedly backward, loaded with the large-t and most valua ble collection of vessels that ever crowd- < 1 au inland sea. It is one tumultuou- highway, far more exciting than Broad- ay r.::d somewhat less charming than i u Hudson. The city uses it as au emptying place for its sowers aud the su et cleaning department as a dump ing ground for its waste, and yet it tlu most valuable factor in tho life of Cl ieago, aud the ono more than all else tk; t iias made tho city what it is today. No other river in tho wide world pos- s or pretends to the appearance of thb peculiar stream. In its busiest hou .- It is a sight for gods and men. A ! mcru < reck, it struggles with the burden | of at. ocean. The great deep draft pro- j pclh r.-; tear the water into splattering In... i . :its. Their huge stacks often hide the cm ire stream from view with great clou is if smoko. Tho ingoing ami out- going \(--.scls quarrel for the right of way with all the vehemence inherent in gongs and whistles. Tug pilots han dle their craft with a skill that would put to shame the manners of tho heavy tean tors in a crowded New York lane. Thu longest branch of the river today is more than ten miles in length, and tho total length of all branches is 1C. At its mouth it is no more than 200 feet wide, aud the fact that it is tho same width a mile or two up stream is due to the fact that it was made so hy excava tion and dredging. At one time (1869) it was 200 feet wide at Lake street, 175 feet wide at Randolph, a block further on; 165 feet at Washington, 175 feet at Madison—ail these but single blocks apart—and so ou until it became so small as to bo uuuavigahlo by boats drawing ten feet of water. In that year, however, it was dredged and made a uniform width of 200 feet in the south branch, aud it is kept that width hy tlio walls of tho immense buildings which have uow encroached to tho very water’s edge, and which in most cases form the only hanks visible. It is interesting to note the peculiar ities of this poor little stream. Nowhere along its shores within the great city limits is there a foot of unoccupied ground where a tree may find root. No branch or blade of green graces its shores. No bountiful springs rise from point to point and feed it. Its tribu taries are dark, stone arched sewers which empty their subterranean black ness into it in continuous stream. Its hanks are for the most part sheer walls of red brick. Where tin open space oc curs railroad tracks skirt the water’s edge so closely as to stir a fear for the safety of tho cars which lino them. Lumber yards make up other portions, aud groups of belching smokestacks, sooty black, rise in forestliko numbers at regular intervals. No single space hut has some wharf or freight shed, factory or warehouse filling up tho last available inch, stockyards, lumber yards, railroad yards, stonsyards, coal yards—these interspersed with docks, elevators, manufactories and breweries make its banks interesting, if not beau tiful.—Metropolitau. When Min<Im Are BrlictKeat. Swift was 59 when bis brain gave birth to “Gulliver’s Travels.” Sir Walter Scott was 44 when his “Waverley” made its appearance, aud nearly all those stories which have con ferred lasting fume upon him were com posed after tbu age of 46. Milton’s mind rose to its highest ca pacity when the blind poet was between 54 and 59. It was at this period of his existence when he offered to the world “Paradise Lost. ” Uowper bad turned tho half century when he wrote “Tho Task’’ aud “John Gilpin," and De Foe was within two years of 60 when be published “Robin son Crusoe.” Thomas Hood’s “The Song of the Shirt” aud “The Bridge of Sighs" wero written when be was 46.

Tho letter ran thus: “Mmo. II. B. w not to have tho door shut in btofaco without rhyme or reason. She is to bo taken seriously. Help her all you can." Aud not only did Brahms help her in her own artistic career, hut he made a friend of her. aud she was allowed to see more of his life and work than any other woman. BraLm c , abrupt and plain speaking to a fault, bad no patience with flatter* or* and admirers. On day a young Hun garian violinist, much puffed aud little talouted, overwhelmed the composer wkii fulsome compliments. Brahms lis tened for awhile aud then replied, “More exercise, young man, aud fewer phrases," and turned his back upon his admirer. "Have you made all your prep arations?" he asked a young lady who had requested his advice as to whether she should giro a public concert at Vienna. "Yes, maestro,” she replied. "May 1 play something to you?" “No, that was not what I meant,” he went on without pity. “I only meant have you ordered your frock aud glovefc?" “ Yes, ” tbo Miouished young lady re plied. “That's a pity," Brahms said, "because otherwise I should have ad vised you ’Don't.’ " Just a Cough Not worth paying attention to, you say. Perhaps you have had it for weeks. It’s annoying because you have a constant desire to cough. It annoys you also because you remember that weak lungs is a family failing.
