Last Sunday C. Sweeter and hc. writer were driving up the Water em- yon, and as we turned a bend we saw a doe and a youug fawn ill inking from the stone diteh. At our approach th:i auimals were startled, and in attemoi ing to turn aud run the poor liule fawn lost it. balance and fell into the ditch. As many of our readers know. tne water ruus very swmiy and in great volume up there, and ol course the fawn was carried down stream. The mother deer seemed to lose all fear of us, and ran along the edge of the ditch trying to reaeh her otT.spring with her head. Suddeulv sue ran ahead of the floatitig fawn for som:; little distance, ohe plunged into lim ditcii with her head down stream and her hindquarters toward t'.e fwu. She braced her fore feet firmly in the crevices of the rocks to resist the rush of water. Iu a second the fawn wa washed up on its mother's back, and ii in9tinctivel v clasped her ueek Willi us fore legs. The doe then sprang from the ditch with the fawu on her back. She lay down and the babr deer rolled to the ground in an utterly exhausted condition. We were now not more than thirty feet from the animals, but the mother, seemingly unconscious of our presence, licked and fondled her offspring for a few minutes uutil it rose to its feet, and the do aud fawn then trotted off up the mountain. Banning Herald. Dynamic Power ot Coal. A curious calculation has been made by Prof. Rogers of Washington. D. C. ou the dynamic power ot coal. Ac cording to the professor a single pound of good seam coal has within it dyna mic power equivalent to the work of one man for one day. Three tous ot the same coal represent a man's labor for a period of twenty yean, aud one square nine ot a seam ol coal, having tr depth of four feet only, represents as uiueh work as 1.000.000 men can perform in twenty vears.

MeCreary tells a Dumber of in teresting stories of his campaign), and he related the other night, ay the Louisville Oourier-Journtl, how he made a speech in a town where Rob inson s circus was noidiDsr jt snow. and captured the crowd. Sid he: heard nothing of the circus, and as drove on toward the town wbere l was to speak I was surprised at the num ber ot people 1 saw going into the city 1 wu much elated. 1 thought they were coin? to a politicai meetinjr. and imagined that everybody bad heard ol Gov. McCrearv and was roing to hear him speak. As I neared town the crowd beeaaoe greater. It contained negroes and winles. it was made uo of young and old, and I thought it rery strange. At tact I pased an old black aiatv with a Touoe blacs girl run ning bede her, and I stopped her and sunt: Good day, aQU'. Going in to the speakiogT W hat! saw the old woman. 'V nat dats vou sar?' 'Are vou going into town to hear the speaking, auntie?' boeakin ? said the old woman, as a look of blank amazement spread over her black face: I didn't know they was any speakin'. Ise goin' into the circus. 'At that my feelings fell and thought of turning back. It is no use to speak against a circua in Kentucky. You are sure to be beaten. Still I was advertised to speak in the court bouse that morning and I knew if I didn't do something with the circus I would talk to empty benches. Now, had several newspaper men with me and I sent one of them to see Mr. Robinson, the manager of the circus, and divide his time with me. This newspaper ma a wu a nice fellow, but be bad no idea how to manage a di plomatic affair like this. He went and came back and told me he had seen Robinson and Robinson told him he didn't care a blankety blank for Me Creary and that MeCreary could speak when he pleased and what he pleased. That he was here to manage his show and he was going to manage "What did jou tell In in!" ;iil i.

Did you tell hiii) 1 1 : t I wat a c.-iiididiile for governor stud that 1 was a democrat.?' 'No. 1 did not,1 replied the news-paper-man. "Well, yon coiiio with mo.'

I stepped up to him, look oil mr hut and bowed very low and uk1 liin if I had tlie honor of add resting Mr. Robinson, the jull'i'-iilu! and dis tinguished citizen of New York who had done ho tunc i for the democrat ia party. He replied that he was the in an. 1 then went on: 'Mr. K'liiion. I am glad to have the honor of meeting you. have been sent by Gov. MrCirary, the candidate for the democratic gover nor in litis slate, lo give you his re gards and to request that inasmuch a I lie knows of your services to I he party, and as he is to Hprak here lo-duy. to Msk that 30U will arrange, if possible. t let hiiu know at what time he can hold his meeting so as not to conllict with your celebrated show. Gov. Mc ' Creary. Mr. Robinson, has a very hi-zli opinion of you, and he w iuhes to obtig you.' 'Robinson, the circus man. was highly Haltered at ihis address. I could ticc he wms duiiitoiiudcd when h said: I th ink Gov. MeCreary verv much, and I won:. I like to set; him. Take me aud iutrodiice. me to him.' Well,'' continued Gov. MeCreary, I cou.dll't introdllet: in self alter that harangue in the presence of these cir cus men, but I .--ii'1: " All right. Come along; I'll take yon to him.' "Willi that 1 look him to my room and as soon as we LTot in-dde I liut the door. Robinson looked all around and asked: Rut where is the governor?' "1 rose to my full height, put hand mi in v breast, and held out o ne the other to Robinson. '"Mr. Robinson,' said I, as I took his hand, 'let me make you acquainted with (ov. McCrearv of Kentuekv.' Aud with that I patted my chest with the other hand and bowed. Robinsoa laughed an t he said that he would do anything he could in his power to help alonir my meeting. He started his procession and brought it around to the court house, and there made the men and women get off their horsea and go inside and listen to the speech. The result was that the whole crowd went with them and I had an iiu incuse audience. The onlv trouble I tad ai to the circus spectator was that they applauded whenever I mads a naus and oiicu cheered at in wrong time. At the close of nir speech Robinon handed me a handful of circus tickets and told me to com to the show mid bring my friends. The same uiirht there was a prohi bition orator in town, and I asked hiiu if he was going to peak against Ilia circu. lie replied that his audience would be men of priuriple and that bw was not afraid of the circus.

Vhu one of the northern com manders took the control of a Missouri church out of the bauds of iu rebel trustees Lincoln disapproved of the measure in a dispatch containing thi terte and vigorous phra.se. which im mediately obtained wide currency: "The Unitisd States government must not. as by this order, attempt to run the churches." When Grant was aceued of intem perance the president answered: "If I knew what brand of whijky be drinks I would send a barrel or so to some other generals." He once telegraphed to Gen. Hooker: "If the head of Lee's army is at Mart insburg and the tail of it on the plank road between Fredericksburg and Chanoellorsville the animal must ba very slim somewhere.
