Recollection * of Life on the
Frontier ,
The old "Forty-inner * ' can yet bo
id with all over tho' 'Pneific coast.
\s n gonnrnl thing he is folind clothed
n rngs , sitting in front of sotno saloon
ailing for nn invitation to go in nnd
oed his lower level"yet iliany of
licm nro living in nAlnoncu upon"ex -
OIIMVO f\mis or ranches , tnkvn tip or
iitrohnncd when the country was thin *
y nettled. Tlio tjenuilio old whUlty
oviiift "Fortynii.or" is a clmrnctcr.
'akb him when you will , ho is al\ni3
nsygoiiltf , peed natilrcd and tilled to
he brim with stories of ndvutttlirbs
n "tho early days of Oalitorliyi"
Vitli n toiiguo lubricated with n few
oscs of whiakj1 ho will hit for hums
euling oll'his yarns , many if whieh
i-oro nuvor on turins of intimacy with
: io truth. In conversation with uno
f theni on the Cosuiniius river , a fo\v
oars since , he said :
"I'VK SKKI ) MEAN MEN ,
Lratijior , but the incnuost ono I over
truck used tor run rv tradin' post on
feather river cloorin' the excitement
lint broke loose on thot river y'ars
50. Ho played a .rick on the camp
liut fur downright dovilishment was
ever ekalcd BOIICO that script ur'
aloot gnv Cluist nwny with n kiss. "
"Won't you tnko a drink , Uncle
Billy , and then toll mo the story ? " I
skuil.
"Don't mind of I do shoot in a little
icker. Jack , 'yar , keeps as prime an
rticlo as over left the states. '
After swallowing a most liberal
rink wo resumed our seats in the
hade in front , and ho began his
lory :
Hi : HTOllY OK THE OLII "KOIITY-
NINLll. "
"This 'yar fuller's name war
I pee HUT , Hank Spooner , an' ho lied
ho only tradin' store in the camp ,
lank allus kup' a prime article o'
vhisky an' had a pow'ful run o' cua-
om. 1 reckon thar * war1 more'n tw6
housnnd of us woilt up thar1 wi' ' the
irst rush , an' every lad in the outfit
, uk from thrro to a dozen drinks a
lay. Whisky war worth two bits a
Irink then , an' with the bacon , Hour ,
etc , that ho sold on the aide , yo kin
iggor on the pile o' dust ho raked in
every day.
"It war in the dead o' winter when ,
ho mangy cuss warped it to us on the
rick I spoke of. Thar' hod bin a big
all o' snow thot winter , an' wo war'
ocked inter camp tight enough , I
ell ye. Hank's stock o' goods begin
o git inigh'ty low , but as the whisky
ippcarcd to hang out , we concluded
vo'd eut down our rations an' manage
o worry along till the snow melted in
lie spring so's ho could git another
itock o' perviaions over from 'tother
iidc o' the range. Wo felt parfectly
i.isy over the stale o" affairs , but
could see jist as plain as the nose on
or face thot Hank war' in a pow'ful
vorry. Ho war' n penurious euss _
var' Hank , an" the thoughts o' the
nonoy ho'd be a maldn' if ho could
; ot in a big stock o' pel-visions war'
ist a-grindin' the life out CM him.
"Ono mornin' I trudged up from
my cabin artcr my usual beforo' break-
'ast dose an' found a gang o' about
ifty o1 the boys standin' 'round
wearin' faces as long as a sluico-box
" 'W'at's the game ? ' BOX I , knowin'
sumthin' war gene wrong.
" ' ' ' '
'lacker's played , ono of 'cm an
swcred 'Not a drop more left in the
rancho , un' h 1's to pay all round ! "
"While wo war' talkin' JIank
showed up lookiti' juat as sorry an
woe-begono as the rest on us.
" 'Hov' I got the yarnk'rcct , Hank ,
thot yo'vo struck the bed-rock on tin
lost bar'l ? ' I axed , a hopin" thar
might hev bin some mistake.
" 'Tho boys hov tipped yo thosquar
deal , ' ho answered , and hove a sigl
that 'poarcd to come from the lower
levels o1 his heart. "I tuk the lasi
drop afore I turned in last night ,
Thar' sets the empty bar'l atjin the
rancho , an * not nnothci ono in the
collar. '
' THAU' WE WAII' STHANOKII ,
moro'n 2,000 of us , an' not onougl
liokor in the camp to swim a fly , an
eighteen miles o' mountain wit !
drifts o' snow some o' om fifteen foe
deep , between us on' the next camp
The no WB BOOH spread an'a meeting
war' called to debate the difficulty
Thar's no use o' going into the details
o' the meeting , but afore noon nox
day thar' was a good trail broki
through all the snow over to the nex
camp , an' halt our population war
over thar' fillin' up with rojuvonatin
fluid. Hank put his teams on nn' rut
in a big stock y' gr.ub , on' it war' i
year after the camp busted afore wo
found out that he run out o' Itcko :
with six bar'ls in the collar tlmt't
never bin tapped. Ho knowed dura
od well that we'd go through any
thing to git our whisky , an' that by
claimin1 to bo onto * the truck ho
could git the hull population nturtei
through the enow on foot , an' ' tha
they'd break a road through drifts i
they war' as high aa the moon. Thot'a
w'at I call the very essence of meanness
ness , btrangor , an' its a mighty gooi
thing for Mr. Hunk Spoonor thot wo
didn't find him out afore ho loft the
country , "

A Temperance Drink-
Detroit Free I'n > .
Among the thirsty ones ycuterda ;
hunting up and down Woodward nvo
nuo for something to quench thtrs
was n man in rusty black , who onterot
a drug store arid softly enquired :
"Have you a temperance drink1
"Two or throe of em. Will you
take soda water or ginger ale ? "
"Well , now , our society docs no
regard either of these as a siricth
tompcrato drink. Both nro ussociatoc
with stronger liquors. "
"How would root-beer Answer ? "
"Suspicious suspicious , " was the
whispered reply.
f'Ahl I've got it now ! "
"Ah ! "
"I can give you a straight temperance
anco drink as cold as ice , but it come
high. "
"How much ? "
"Ten cents uglass. "
"Very well , " said the old man as h
put dwwn his dime.
The druugist wtia absent only
minute , and then returned and placet
a glass of liquid before him. The oh
man drank half of it , smacked his lip
&nd asked ,
"Hay I ask what you call it ? "
"Certainly ; it is called water ,
just drew it from the hydrant. "
The excursionist set the , glais dow
uuch balder than ho needed to , Imt-
oned liis coat , and with n gUnoo
leant to reduce the drugitist's in-lit
u 120 pounds in five second * , marched

SniTooatod in n Church
few York TlimM , Aug. 8.
When the worshipers at the Four-
couth street Presbyterian church , on
ho southwest corner of Second avo-
luo and Fourteenth street , assembled
n front of the church at thu usual
lour for morning service yesturday ,
hey were surprised to find the doors
closed. The sexton , James I ! . Os-
joriio , was not visible , and it was
earned at h's boarding house , No.
14 East Twelfth Btreet , that he had
lot been there since last Wednesday.
L'ho llov. l'H. . ilarling , the pastor
) f the church , is absent from thu aity ,
ind his place wassupplied by a brother
clergyman. When this clergyman ar
rived , with a son of the pastor , the
doors were still closed , and the
search for the sexton proved unsuc-
: cssful. Thomas Knox , the organ-
slower , effected an entrance to the
church through the lecture-room ,
which is a small , two-story building ,
adjoining the west end of the struct
ure , used for mcotings , lectuios , etc.
Ho was followed by Mr. Marling , Dr.
Dc-marcst , the organist , and thu olUci-
attng clergyman. When they entcret
the building they noticed a stronc
odor of escaping gas , and they hast
ened to throw open the doors ant
windows and admitted the worship
prs. Although the odor of the escap
ing gas was still apparent , no altompi
to trace the leak was 'made ' until tin
conclusion of the services. After the
congregation had been dismissed
search wo * commenced by Dr. Doinn
rest ana Mr. Knox , and the odor war
distinctly traced to .a small room be
side the lecture room , which is usoc
KB & library. The door of this roou
rras locked on the inside and the windows
dews wore fastened. Tlio panci
in the windows' are o
ground glass , BO that the interior
of the room could not bo scon. Mr
Stephen Gutter , 3 the treasurer
the church , burst open the door , assisted
sistod by Knox , and they wore itnnio
diatoly assailed by such a torribli
stench and BO strong a smell of gai
that they wore compelled to maki
their way to the open air with all pos
siblu hastu. After waiting a nuflicion
time to allow the offensive cflluvia t <
pass off , they entered the room again
and found Oaborne , the suxton , lying
dead on thu floor , evidently Huffocatoc
by inhaling the gas which was flowing
from a broken gas pipe. To this pipi
a gas stove , used in cold weather fo :
warming the room , had been con
nected. The stove was lying on tin
floor , having doubtless been upset
and its upsetting had broken the con
nection with the gas pipe and nllowoc
the small room to become fdled witl
gas. The dead Boston wns undrcsse
end was lying on a pew-cushion spruat
beneath him. His body wa
terribly swollen and decomposed
and presented n horrible spectacle
Ho had evidently been dead semi
days. Qti inquiry it was learned tha
ho was seen alive on lust Wednesday
at the close of a meeting which w&
hold in the lecture room. Dr. Domnr
eat saw and spoke to him on' that ou
ca ion. Osborno was then apparent ) ,
in his usual health and rpiritn , nnd ro
inainud behind to close up the pine
after the meeting had ended. Ho di <
not return to hia boarding house tha
night , but this did not cause any remark
mark , as ho wns often known to tilue
in thu library when detained late A
the ohuruh Knox , thu organ > blower
sayu tiut , | Oaborno was inclined to b
dissipated , although hut few of hia ac
quaintancns knew of this fact. He
wont on periodical "sprees , " on whicl
occasions he would generally aleop ol

whore lie was found dead yestordny
No person could bo found who hat
scon him since Wednesday ni ht , an
it is therefore believed that ho go
drunk on that night , and , not wishing
to return homo in that- condition
sought shelter in the library. In hi
drunken slumber it is supposed tha
ho kicked over the stove , and thu ga
rushing into thu confined space run
dered him unconcious and asphyxiate *
him. Coroner Knox gave a pormi
for tliu removal of the remains to th
Morgue , whore an inquest will b

A Sword Fish * u Iiiiko Horon.
Port Huron ( Mich. ) Tlmci.
There is it lisli curiosity contained
in n cage nt Caulmin it Armstrong's
liouso on the dock. It was caught in
Lake Huron in a drag-net with a
quantity of sturgeon. Tins peculiar
hell measures over five feet in length
and weighs over two hundred pounds.
The body resembles that of u slur-
goon and its mouth is very much like
that of n codfish , and is largo enough
to tnko in a man's head. It has a
sword over a foot in length , which is
three inches wide at the place where
il is joined at the head , and about an
inch nt the point. It is a dcep-wntor
fish , but got into shallow water ,
where it mixed with the sturgeon and
was caught. Old fishermen say that
they have never seen anything like it.
