A JEALOUS EUSBAUD.
It was the d:iy before the shooting
se:tsoii b'":aii. Hunters were pourinjr
out rf P:Vris in r.U directions. Two
inio;lit have been seen leisurely proceed
ing toward the Seeaux Station, bttt
eoniino; from dillerent directions. Botli
were aeeoutered eleantlj', from jaun
ty cap to leathern gaiters; both carried
a line gtm and handsome game-bag;
both remarked with satisfaction the ef
fect their costumes produce 1 upon th
female heart; in fact, both were Paris
ians and hunters. Hut one was old
and the other was j ottng. Full sixty
years must have been needed to grizzle
the locks of the one; but twenty-three
had passed over the other's head.
The elder reached the station a few
moments before the other. He entered
an empty comnartmcnt.but scarcely hail
he done so when the door opened, and
the younger hunter entered. They
stared at each other for a moment, but
it was the elder who spoke lirst.
"My dear Doisgibert, I am delighted
to sce'ycu,1' he said, pressing the oth
er's hand with simulated warmth.
"And I too, Prethibaut," returned
the young man, "am enchanted. What
is it Thingummy says now? 'Thrice
blessed is it
"Perhaps you mean 'Thrice blessed
is'ttomeeta friendly face,' " replied
the other.
res, that's it. Wiio was the fellow
that s:iid it, now? It was it was "
"Lamartine?" asked the other, dry-
iy.
"Ah, yes, that's the man Lamar
tine. Strange I couldn't think of it."
"Very," replied Prethibaut. "Hut,
now I 'think of it. l)e Musset was the
author of the line."
"Yes, so he was," replied the other,
coloring; "he's one of my favorite au
thors, you know."
Outwardly Prethibaut replied with a
gruut. Inwardly ho said: "The sumo
as ever. What an ass the fellow is!"
On the other haud, Boisgiuert bit his
lip and muttered: "Confound the old
fool! as pedantic as ever."
These two gentlemen were just about
to make a reasonably long railway
journey together.
After a lengthy silence, Prethibaut
began:
"1 see you are in hunting rig. Might
I ask where you are bound?"
"1'es; I'm going to Verrieres. Fine
shooting at that chateau."
"What! Has Vaugiron invite 1 "
Prethibaut interrupted, but suddenly
stopped,
"Yes, Vaugiron has asked me to
come down to Verrieres and open the
shooting season with hini. And you
where are you going, Prethibaut?"
"To Verrieres."
"What you also." Boisgibert's tone
expressed astonishment, but certainly
not pleasure.
"Oh, yes. For ten years I have
opened the season there. It wouldn't
do for nie to miss one."
"How. fortunate Ave chanced to
meet!" said Boisgibert, in a tone as
destitute of emotion as is the creak of a
door.
"It was indeed a happy chance." re
plied Prethibaut, with the inflection of
a man who bids his creditor come to

eyed words they were full of bitterness
within. Preihibaut's rellections were
something like this:
"How in the tiend's name could
Vaugiron bo so idiotic as to invile this
becurled popinjay to th;.3 house? I
did not think him so stupid so hus-baml-like.
so to speak as tiiat. When
a man of fifly-two marries a girl of
nineteen, he should not invite hand
some young dandles to spend weeks at
his house. Ami more particularly
should he not invito a dandy who was
her slave all last winter; who was al
ways waltzing witli her; who always
turning her music for her when she
played; who always had an orchestra
seat when she was in her box. And
yet Vaugiron stupid yet hospitable
Vaugiron lie invites this fellow be
neath his roof. Well, well!"
On the other hand, Hoisgiberfs
brain was no leVs buv. His reflections
ran something like tins:

one told me he was in Switzerland, and
here I find him on the way to Verri
eres." The two men scowled at each other,
and then smoothed their faces into ex
prcssionlesstH ss. The train rolled on.
lJoisgibcrt drew an immense cigar
from his ease, and lighted it. Then,
as if he had but just thought of it
"Oh, excuse me. I believe tobacco
is disagreeable to you."
"No, sir; by no means, sir; you are
dreaming, sir;" retorted Prethibaut; "I
smoke like a chimney, sir;" and light
ing a larger cigar, he pulled deiiantly.
At the expiration of ten minutes the
two gentlemen were so shrouded in
smoke that they could not see across
the compartment.
But all things have an end. The
train at last reached the expe ted sta
tion, and there was Vaugiron's carriage
awaiting them. A brisk drive of a few
minutes a toss country, and they were
at Verrieres.
As they descended in the court-yard,
Vaugiron advanced. He pressed Pre:h
ibaut warmly by the hand, greeted
Boisgibert with less warmth, and bade
the servant show the latter gentleman
to his room.
"As for jou, my old friend," said
he to Prethibaut, "come into the gar
den, and let us seat ourselves over
there in that summer-house. I have
something I want t say to you. I
want to ask your advice."
"But will jou follow it ?"
"Of course, since I ask it."
"But that does not foil w, an- more

Vaugiron viciously kicked a pebble
on the gravel-walk before him.
"Well, what is it about?" said Preth
ibaut. Vaugiron paused a while. "Well,"
said he, reluctantly, "it's about my
wife."
"What!" said Prethibaut, "already?"
"Come," said Vaugiron, impatient
ly, "don't be getting any idiotic ideas
into your head. I have nothing to re
proach her with."
"But you have something on your

"Yes, I have. I am jealous

"How do you know?"
'l know, because I have seen '
'Seen!" shouted Vaugiron, bounding
from his seat. "Seen! seen! What
have you seen?"
"Come, now," said Prethibaut,
"don't be getting any foolish ideas in
to 3-our head. I have seen nothing'
alarming. I have seen, however, that
that j'oung puppy, Boisgibert, is alto
gether too attentive to your wife."
"Well, that's what I wanted to speak
about. The fellow has presumed to
address some verses to her."
"What are thev about?"
"Wliiit are they about? Oh. what ail
poets w rite about moon on the waves,
stars, and flowers, gentle zephyrs, an
gels, gondolas, sympathetic souls, and
all sorts of idiotic things."
"Naturally." said Prethibaut, "I
might have known it. But how did
you come to see this letter?"
"WI13', Hortense brought it to me
herself, of course."
"She did, eh? Well, Vaugiron, I con
gratulate you on your wife. Now, list
en to me. Will you follow my ad
vice?" "Blindly."
"Whatever I may say or 4lo jou will
not contradict or oppose me?"
"I promise."
"Very well, then. Young Boisgibert
will not favor us with his company du
ring the shooting season. Here is what
you must do: to-night, at dinner, when

the table with your list, and say, in a
cavernous voice: I would do the

'Hum,' said Vaugiron. "a cavern

on the table. Whjr what how "
"Never mind," said Prethibaut, -'do
as I tell you, old boy, and you're all

m
That evening there were gathered
around Vaugiron's festive board eight
gentlemen. Six vacant chairs sho-ved
that the ladies had left them. Un
numbered empty bottles showed that
they were good hunters ami true. But
one man had attempted to escape to
join the ladies. Several times had
IJoisuibert made a move, but Prethibaut
would invariably ask, with much kind
ness, 'Are you not well this evening,
sir?"so he was forced to remain.
Of all the merry crowd, Prethibaut
alone seemed preoccupied. There was
a gloomy expression upon his face, and
it finally attracted attention.
"What's the matter with you tonight,
Prethibaut?" asked one of the guests,
"3-011 look as if 3-ou were at a funeral."
"Pardon me, gentlemen," replied the
gloomy one, "there are certain anni
versaries in a man's life but no; the
story is not a pleasant one."
"Never niind what's the odds? Go
on and tell it anyway," was the cry.
"Very well, gentlemen," said Prethi

baut, placing his snuff-box on the table
befo:e him. and gazing on it with deep
mclanchopy, "I will tell 3-011 the story.
Thirty-live j-ears ago to-day I was the
chief actor in a d nuestic tragodj'."
"You!"' interrupted Vaugiron, "you
in a domesiic tragedi ?"'
For reply Prethibaut favored his
frieud with a violent kick under the ta
ble, and went on:
"At that time I was but twenty-five;
1113 life was peaceful and happj1. I had
a" wife whom I adored, a daughter
whom I idolize i."
What, you," bawled Vaugiroa.
"Yes," went on Prethibaut, giving
him another kick. "M3- estate was in
the Ardennes, and I was a passionate
hunter. Adjoining my property was
that of a man a little joungor than I.
He was about the same age as Maurice
Boisgibert here, and, by the wa3r, he
much res-.'inbled him. Well, we often
iii-t; we became friends. He came to
my house, and excuse me gentlemen,
but m- old blood boils when I think of
it iie wrole some verses to my wife.
"Well. I sought him out. 1 told him
that one of us must die; that, in order
to avoid scandal, we would load our
pieces with buckshot, conceal ourselves
on liotli sides of a trail, and when the
boar was driven by us we would tire
but not at the boar."
It was done. Thirty-five jears ago
to-day we la crouched there, glaring at
each oilier across the trail. We heard the
boar coming; wc fired. Whether a
consciousness of guilt had unnerved my
friend's ban. I, or not, I do not know,
yet I was uninjuied. But both loads
fi-oni my run struck him, and ho fell
back, his hea ! and breast pierced with
bal's, a mangled, bleeding corpse.
; There is not much more to tell. I was
! arrested, and released, as on the sur
face it was accidental. My wife died
in a mad-house; my daughter died
shortfj' after, and now I am alone.
Can yi u wonder, gentlemen, that I am
melancholy when the j-ears bring round
again the day on which I slew my
f ien 1?"
He shook his head gloomily, and took
a pinch of snuff.
Vaugiron struck the table a violent
blow, which made the glasses ring.
"I would do the same." he cried.
"You were perfectly right. I would do
the same."
At breakfast, the next morning it was
noticed that Maurice Boisgibert was ab
sent. The host found a note for him at
his plate, however, which he read
aloud:
M. M dsirih.-rt has received a letter which
forces him to leave for Paris at onco. Import
nnt business. Ho bears M. Vaiifrtroii to roc-dve
his excuses, nnd much rearret.s that ho cannot
remain with the pleasant party at the Chateau

"Well," said Prethibaut, in a whis

An American's View of Brazil.
Mr. John Beitler, a 3'oung Pittsburg"
er, who went to Brazil to seek a for
tune almost seven j-ears ago. has re
turned to his home in this city. He
does not give a very glowing account
of the country, and states that the op
portunities presented there for the en
couragement of American enterprise
are not veiy extensive without large
iinancial resources. It is hardly the
place for young men of even more than
ordinary pluck and energy to visit and
grow up with the country, unless they
nave money nnd are prepared to grow
slowly. The country is flooded with
American inventions and knick-knacks,
and the listless Brazilians, who in
former times looked upon such novel
ties from the States as great discover
ies, have lapsed into a state of more or
less indifference. The telephone has
been in use for many months, the roller-skating
as one of the sports in tno
largo cities and other contrivances have
lost their novelty. Mr. Beitler says
that the native Brazilians are gradually
becoming more "civilized" since the
number of Englishmen, Americans
and comers from all quarters of the
globe are introducing customs as new
to the natives as they are frequent.
Rio Janeiro, with its 400,000 inhabi
tants, is gradually assuming metropoli
tan airs, and you can ride all through
its paved streets in a Pennsylvania
street car. Mr. Beitler reports that
the country is traversed b a number
of railroads, all narrow gauge, however,
save the Dom Pedro road, and one
which was built by English capitalists
and operated by Englishmen. The
former road owns 200 Baldwin locomo
tives. One of the best engineers on
the road is a young man named Lewis,
formerly of Allegheny City. Most of
the other engineers are natives, and
most of them know as much about the
locomotive as the hind brakeman. So
533-3 Mr. Beitler. The chief iudustrj
of Brazil, the cultivation of coffee, is
gradually diminishing, according to the
same authoriPy. Many of the planters
are leaving for Central America and
Mexico, which Mr. Beitler thinks is
destined to become a great cmintry for
that industry. I'ittsburg Telegraph.

A MINE.
Tuesday we went up to the Shivelv
mine, owned by the Equitable Mining
Company, of New York, and of which
Mr. Fletcher is Superintendent. It is
about 1,100 feet above here, and the
shaft is a little over 700 feet under
ground. We squirm up the the canyon
on the Leadville road, that is. up one
fork of Clear Creek about four miles,
through "Silver Plume," and "Ihown
ville," both mining towns, and then
turn to the right up a gulch as far as a
wagon can be driven, when we find a
"tramway," that winds us up 1,350 feet
to the mouth of the tunnel. It is a lit
tle up hill to the foot of this tramway,
but as the horses did not fall back on
the carriage anywhere, we did not
mind that much. The tiaruway is only
laid at an angle of CO degrees, part
way, and as that is somewhat less than
90 degrees, we held on lirst-rate. It is
true the ladies thought it was steep,
aud one of the party told how a snow
slide last winter went down one side
of the mountain, across the little val
ley, and up the other side of the "big
hill," live or six hundred feet, killing
only two men. and leaving a good, clear
track to slide logs dowa hereafter.
We speculated a little en how far we
would go up the other side, if the rope
broke, and how many pieces could be
picked up of our remains to sei.d east,
and then we were at the "tunnel-hole,"
as an old fellow down east persisted in
calling it.
They hoisted a 5-ton boiler up that
tramway last year by windlass; that
didn't worry me a3 much as to know
how many mules got the thing to the
foot of the tramway. The u.achiuery
is up there aud in there now, and it
simplifies things wonderfully. I only
mention this that you may get some
idea of the labor, expense and toil of
opening a mine here, and getting it in
proper shape. Before that train way
was built and that engine waipeduu
there, everything this mine m-eded had
to be packed up an almost perpendicu
lar trail, which, with ts windings,
was twice the length of the tramway,
or more; and this is not a high mine
at all. Way above it the w hite earth
from "prospect hoies" gleams, and the
dark line of the narrow trail can be
seen winding in and out, over which
all goods for the mine, and all the ores
from the mine, must be packed by men,
mules or horses.
The inside of a mine, the veins, ore,
etc, have been described so often, and
by expel ts. which I am not, that 1 shall
attempt no detailed description, only
jotting tlu impressions left on my
mind of mines and mining as a busi
ness, and the effect it has on the peo
ple and business of a country some
thing I do know and can see for my
self, and need ask no one any qui stions
about.
IN THE DIUFT.
The usual preparations of b. milling
the ladies in "rubbers" and oil-cloth
coat, and Gxing me out with a miner's
hat, overalls aud coat, ten acrs too bi
for me, having been made, we walk in
o the tunnel, sloppy and wet as tun
nels usually are, about 400 feet, where
we find another engine, used for hoist
ing, etc. This engine house is sim
ply a sizable cavern, excavated in the
jagged rock above, below, all round us.
After examining the engine, and hav
ing technically explained to us how
the water is kept out and the air sent
in, we mount some rough steps to the
mouth of the shaft. Several miners
precede us, stepping carelessly on the
edge of the bucket, and swinging away
into darkness as coolly as they just
swallowed that "Washington pie" in
the cabin a few minutes before.
At last it is our turn. A dry bucket
is put on, the wife crouches down in
the bucket, Mr. Fletchei stands easily
on the edge, and away they go. The
bucket comes up, and Mr. White and I
make the nip below; way down we go
each with our little caudle glimmering,
bearing the same proportion to the
ieat surrounding darkness, that the
few words of truth in a political speech
do to the ma3S of other trash spouted
out, generally.
It's a rainy day, aud I'm tired, and
it's just as good a place to leave ihe
folks and my story in the bottom oi
the mine as anywhere, for they cannot
escape there, and I'm sure to find them
all when I get ready -to go ahead with
this aciiiiuij.ii of ours. Mac.
Salt for Wheat.
We should be much pleased to hear
from any one of our readers who have
tried the experiment of sowing salt 011
their wheat this season. It is said
that salt will greatly increase the
yield of wheat, and will . keep away
chinch bugs. If this is true it is most
valuable information and should be
geuerally known. Salt can be ob
tained in abundance near Lincoln, and
it is estimated that it can be fur
nished at an average price of ten cents
per bushei. which is less than half its
cost in other states. Ex.

".Never Mind the Hat, My Boy."
Denver Tribune.
General Sheridan was idly saunter
ing up and down the lobby of the
Winsor Hotel, deep m thought, and
complacently puffing at his Havana,
and blowing the white smeke into
pretty white curls. Suddenly a rough
looking man, with face so heavily
bearded that one could see nothing
but the twinkling black eye, approach
ed him, anu raising his hat with awk
ward embarxssinent, said:
"Good morning, general."
The hero of Winchester returned
the greeting, touched his cap with mil
itary politeness, and then, trying to
peer through the miner's heavy beard
to get a glimpse of his features, the
general said:
"I'm afraid I've forgotten your face,
sir."
The eyes of the man from Gunnison
twinkled brighter than ever as he re
marked: "It's not unlikely, general; seein's
we've never met but once afore, you
wouldn't be so apt to remember me as
I am you. It's seventeen years since 1

eager pride into the general's face.
"That I do," answered the general,
with a pleased interest, and a blighter
flash in his eye; "1 remember it well."
"I was that soldier," continued the
miner, proudly. "I remember the cir
