TO A LADY IN A PICTURE.
Sitting in that picture.
Smiling night and day.
Do you never weary.
Long to weep or pray?
Though yonr dress Is velvet.
And your hair Is gold,
I see something In your eyes
That you have not told.
—Louise Chandler Moulton.
ANGELS.
"Never heard how we got religion to
Angels, stranger? 1 thought uv course
•verybody'd heerd that yarn. Tell yer?
Why, onre; but let's liquor again, "n I'll
reminisce.
"Yer see, twas afore Angels got to be
sech s big camp as 'twas later on, but it
was a rich camp 'n a mighty wicked
one. There were lots uv chaps there
who'd jest as soon die in their boots as
eat, *n every other house was a dance
bouse or a saloon or gambling hell.
Pretty Pete 'n his pardner, Five Ace
Bob, was reckoned the .wickedest men
in the state, 'n old Bill Jones, what
kept the Golden West hotel, had a na
tional reputation for cussin.
"The idea of a parson striking tbe
camp never was thought uv, but one
day I was playing bank into Pete's
game, when Five Ace came runnin in
*n sez: 'Boys, I'll be , but there's an
ornery cuss of a parson jest rid up to
Jones. He's got a pardner with him,
•ft he lows he's goin to convert the
camp.' "The he is,' sez Pete. '11l
finish the deal 'n go down and see about
that'
"So we all walked down to Jones',
"n thar, sore 'miff, in the bar, talking
with Old Bill, wnz the parson, black coat
*n white tie 'n all He was a big, squar'
shouldered chap, with a black beard
'n keen eyes that looked right through
yer. His pardner was only a boy of
twenty or so, with yeller curly h'ar, pink
*n white gal's face 'n big blue eyes.
We all walked in, 'n Pete he stands to
the bar 'n shouts fer all hands ter drink,
•n to our surprise the parson 'n the kid
both stepped up 'n called for red licker
*n drank it.
"After the drink was finished the
parson sez: 'Gents, as yer see, I'm a
minister of the Gospel; but 1 see no
harm in a man drinking ez long ez he
ain't no drunkard. I drank just now
because I want you to see that I am not
ashamed to do before yer face what I'd
do behind yer back.' 'Right yer are,
parson,' says Pete; 'put it thar;' 'n they
shook hands, 'n then Pete he up and
called off the hull gang—Five Ace n
Lucky Barnes 'n Dirty Smith 'n one 'v
all the rest uv 'em. The parson shook
hands with all uv us, 'n said he was
going to have a meetin in Shifty Sal's
dancehouse that night, ez 'twas the big
gest room in camp, 'n ast us all to come
we sed we would.
"When we got outside Pete sez, 'Boys,
yon mind me, that devil dodger'll cap
ture the camp,' 'n he did. That night
we all went along down to Shifty's ; n
found the parson 'n the kid on the
platform where the fiddlers ust to sit,
*n every man in camp wuz in the au
dience. The parson spoke first. He sed:
'Gents, I want to tell yer first off I don't
want any uv yer dust. I've got enuff
fer myself 'n my young friend, 'n there
won't be no rakeoff in this yer meetin
house, 'n Pm not here to preach against
any man's way o' making a livin. I will
preach agin drunkenness, 'n I shall
speak privately with the gamblers; but
1 want to keep you men in mind uv yer
homes 'n yer mother 'n yer wives 'n
yer sweethearts, 'n get yer to lead
cleaner lives, so's when yer meet 'em
agin yerTl not hey to be 'shamed.'
'n then he sed we'd hey a song, 'n the
youngster he started in 'n played 8
concertina 'n sang 'Yes, We Will
Gather at the River 1 ; 'n there wuzn't
one of us that it didn't remind uv how
our mothers ust to dress us up Sundays
*n send us to Sunday school, 'n stand
at the door to watch us down street "n
call us back to ast if we were sure we
had our clean pocket handkerchur, 'n 1
tell yer, mister, thar wuzn't a man with
dry eyes in the crowd when he'd finished.
That young feller had a vice like a
angel. Pete he sed it wnz a tenner vice,
but Five Ace offered to bet him a hun
dred to fifty it wuz more like a fifteener
era twenty. Pete told Five Ace he wuz
a old fool 'n didn't know what he
wnz talkin about.
"Well, things run along for about a
week, 'a one day Pete come to me and
sea: 'Look here, Raltera, this yer camp
ain't no jay camp, 'n we've got to hey a
church fer the parson. He's a jim dandy,
and won't ask for nothing. He'd jest
natchelly go on prayin and preachin 'n
tryin to save a couple of whisky soaked
souls like yourn 'n Bill Jones', which
ain't wuth powder to blow 'em to ,
'n you'd let him go doin it in that old
shack of Sal's 'n never make a move.
Now I'm goin to rustle 'round 'n dig np
dust enuff from the boys, and well jest
build him a meetin house as'll be a
credit to the camp;' 'n in a few days the
boys bed a good log meetin house built,
floored 'n benches in it 'n everythin.
"The parson was tickled most to
death. Next they built him a house, 'n
he 'n his pardner moved into it. Then
Pete said the gals must go; sed it wuz a
dead, rank, snide game to work on the
parson ter hey to go down street 'n be
guyed by them hussies ('n they did guy
him awful sometimes, too); so the gals
they went. Then Pete sed the church
hed to be properly organized; hed to
hey deacons 'n church wardens 'n sex
tons 'n things; so old Bill Jones 'n Ala
bam wuz made deacons, 'n Pete 'n
Five Ace was church wardens.
"In a month every last man in camp
wuz worryin 'bout his future state. Old
Bill Jones came into meetin one night
with his face 'n hands washed 'n an old
black suit on, 'n sot down on the anx
ious bench 'n ast to be prayed fer.
The parson knelt down 'n put his arm
around him, 'n how he did pray. Be
fore he got through Lucky Barnes, Ala
bam 'n me wuz on the bench too, 'n
Pete shoved his Chinaman up the aisle
by the collar 'a bvt him down 'longside
o' me. Pete said ho was a high toned
Christian gentleman himself, hed been
born 'n raised a Christian 'n was a senior
church warden to boot, 'n that he'd
make a Christian of Ah Foo or spoil a
Chinaman.
"Waal, stranger, things rim along
nice *n smooth fer a couple uv months er
ss till Curis'inus comes uigh. The boys
bed been a-keepin mighty straight; there
wasn' a man in camp that drunked
more'n wnz huilsome fer him; there
hedn't bin a shootin scrap fer weeks.
Pete sed things wnz gittin so allfired
ca'am 'n peaceful that he wouldn't be at
all surprised to git up sum fine day 'n
find Ah Poo with wings 'n feathers on
his legs like a Bramah hen. Nary a man
packed a gun, 'n when a gent 'ud forgit
"n drop a cuss word he'd beg parding.
The parson was thick with all the boys.
He writ letters for us, advised us about
all our biznus,'n knew all about every
body's affairs. Lots uv 'em gave him
their dust sack to keep fer 'em, 'n he
knowed where every man hed his
cached.
"Along jest afore Chris'mas cum Pete
called a meetin ny the deacons 'n church
wardens down to his place, 'n after the
sexton (Ah Foo) hed brought in a round
of drinks he said: 'Gents, ez chairman
exofficer in this yer layout I move that
we give the parson a little present fer
Chris'mus. Yer know he won't take a
dum cent from us, 'n never has. Uv
course he has taken a few thousand
from time to time to send to orfings 'n
things uv that kind, but not a red for
hisself or pard. 'n I move that we make
him a little present on Chris'mus day,
'n it needn't be so little either.
Gents in favor '11 say so 'v gents wot
ain't kin keep mum. Carried, 'n that
settles it. Five Ace 'n me'll take in con
tributions, 'n we won't take any less
than fifty cases.'
"That wnz two days afore Chris'mus
day, 'n when it cum Pete 'n Five Ace
hed about five thousand in dust 'n nug
gets fer the parson's present. Pete as
sessed Ah Foo a month's pay, 'n he
kicked hard accordin, but 'twer'n't no
use.
"The day was bright 'n clear, 'n at
leven o'clock every man in camp wuz at
church. The little buildin looked mighty
tasty—all fixed off with pine tassels 'n
red berries we'd got in the woods, 'n
every man wuz dressed out in his
best duds. At 'leven exact the par
son 'n the kid, who hed bin standin at
the door shakin hands 'n wishin every
body what cum in Merry Chris'mus,
cum in 'n took their seats on the plat
form. Pete 'n Five Ace 'n Bui Jones 'n
Alabam 'v me sot on a bench jest in
front o' the platform. We wuz all
togged out in our best fixin's, 'n Pete 'n
Five Ace they sported diamons till yer
couldn't rest. Waal, ez usual, the per
ceedin's opened up with er prayer from
the parson, 'n then we hed singin, 'n it
seemed ter me ez if I never hed heerd
sich singin in my life afore ez thet kid
let out o' him thet day.
"Then the parson he started in ter
jaw, 'n 1 must ellow he giv us a great
discourse. 1 never see him so long
winded afore, tho', 'n Pete was begin
nin' to get mighty restless 'n oneasy,
when all uv a suddint we heerd the
door open 'v shet quick 'n sharp, 'n
every one turned around to find a great
big black bearded cuss at the door a
coverin the hull gang uv us with a
double bar'led shotgun, : n jest a stand
in thar cool 'n silent. 'Face around
here, yer fools,' yelled some
body in a sharp, quick, biznus meanin
vice, n all hands faced around to find
the parson holding 'em up wHk another
shotgun—own brother to the one the
other cus* hed.
" "*I "don't want a wort out er tor,' he
sed. 'Yer see my game now, don't yer?
Thar ain't a gun in tho house 'cept the
ones you see, 'n if any gent makes any
row in this yer meetin I'll fill his hide so
plum full o' holes't won't hold his bones.
The kid will now take up the collection,
'n ez it's the first one we ever hey taken
up yer must make it a liber'l one, see?'
The kid started ont with a gunnysack,
'n went through the very last man in
the crowd. He took everything, even
to the rings on our fingers. The parson
hed the drop, 'n we knew it 'n never
kicked, but jest giv' up our stuff like
lambs.
"After the kid hed finished, he took
the sack outside, 'n that's the last we
ever seed o' him. Then the parson he
sez: ' 'N now, gents, I must say adoo, ez
I must be a travelin, for I hey another
meetin to attend this eve. I want to
Bay tho' afore I go thet you're the orner
iest gang of fools I ever played
for suckers. A few friends of mine hey
taken the liberty, while yerVe been to
meetin this blessed Chris'mus day, uv
goin through yer cabins 'n diggin up yer
little caches uv dust 'n other val'ables.
Yer stock hez all been stampeded, 'n yer
guns yer'll find somewhar at the bottom
of the crick. My friend at the door will
hold yer level while I walk out, 'n we
will then keep yer quiet fer a few min
utes longer through ther winder jest bo
's we can git a nice cumf'table start;' 'n
so they did. What cud we do? The
parson walked out, grinning all over
himself, 'n he 'n his pals they nailed up
the door 'n the winders (thai - wuz only
two), 'n very soon after they hed finished
we heerd the clatter o' huffs 'n knowed
they wnz gone.
"I must draw a veil over the rest of
that day's proceeding, stranger. The
langwidge used by ther boys wuz too
awful to repeat, but 'twas jest ez this
parson sed, when we got out o' thet
meetin house we found every animal on
the location gone, 'n the only arms left
wuz knives 'n clubs, yet we'd hey gone
after 'em with nothin but our hands,
but we couldn't follow afoot. How
much did they get? 1 don't rightly
know, but not fur from fifty thousand.
The bull camp wuz stone broke, all excep'
Ah Foo, 'n he wuz the only one uv us as
hed sense enuff not to tell thet durned
parson whar he cached his stuff. Pete
'n Five Ace wuz so everlast hurt at the
hull biznus that they shut up the Bird
o' Prey, borrowed Ah Foo's sack 'n left
for the bay to try 'n find thet parson,
but they never did find him, 'n no
one ever heard uv him again."—Cali

LOS ANGELES HERALD: SATURDAY MORNING, JULY 30, 1892.
Atraskln's Charmed Life.
Frank Agassin, the sole survivor oi
the cave in the Anaconda mine, is in the
general ward at the Sister's hospital in
this city. He says he feels a little sorez
on his right shoulder and left hip than
when first taken out. This is ascribable
to the muscular reaction after the terri
ble strain of remaining fifty-five hours
in a cramped position, his left leg dou
bled up on his breast. There is also a
pain in some of the internal organs. The
•attending physicians at the hospital ap
prehend no ill results, but say he will
recover in a few days. His mind is not
the least impaired, apparently.
Agassin was born in Paris and came
to this country in 1882. He had a simi
lar experience to his late one when work
ing in a mine near Georgetown, Colo.
He was caught in a drift by a fall of
rock that kept him a prisoner six days
before he was released. Then he had
plenty of water, as there was a spring
at the end of the drift where he was, and
was not cramped as he was this time,
having plenty of room to move about,
' He had no idea of the passage of time
during his incarceration. When he
found himself imprisoned, with no pos
sible chance of escape except with the
aid of others, he shouted several times,
but getting no answer he concluded to
keep quiet till he heard something. At
intervals he could hear the rumble of
cars passing on the level overhead. He
made no call for assistance again until
he heard the sound of his deliverers at
work, when he called out, and to his
great relief was answered. He has had
an experience such as not one man in a
million has survived, and from coming
through two such trials successfully
may be said to bear a charmed life.—
Helena Journal.
Snicide Prevented by a Dog;.
A noble shepherd dog, the property of
Joseph Langin, has performed a remark
able feat that entitles it to wear a medal
for bravery. The brave animal plunged
from the foot of Soulard street into the
raging torrent of the Mississippi, and
seizing a drowning man by the collar of
his coat swam with him to the shore,
thus saving him from certain death.
The rescued man was Joseph Reinert,
twenty-one years of age, who resides in
the same house with Langin. Reinert
had been playing cards with Langin.
Some words passed between them, and
Reinert, who had become very morose,
vowed that he would commit suicide.
Be left the house and ran down to the
river. Langin followed, but by the time
he arrived at the levee Reinert had
plunged into the water and was being
swept rapidly from view. Langin was
helpless to save him, as he could not
swim, but his dog, who had followed be
hind, plunged in and reached Reinert
just as he was disappearing.—St. Louis
Republic.
Long; Distance Telephone Lines.
The long distance telephone system
has already attained large proportions
in this country. Beginning two or three
years ago, in an experimental way,
through New Engdand and New York
state, lines were next run across New
Jersey to Philadelphia and thence on
ward to Baltimore and Washington.
Until recently the line between this city
and Buffalo was the longest in the world
used commercially, being about 450
miles and giving excellent service. . Be
tween Boston and Pittsburg, via New
York, communication is often had over
600 miles of circuit. A little while ago
a trial was made between Newark and
Boston, connecting through Philadel
phia, Pittsburg, Erie, Buffalo and Al
bany, giving about 1,000 miles.—New
York Telegram.
Peculiarly Afflicted.
One family in Utica is peculiarly af
fected. They have hay fever in the
house six months of every year. When
the trees bud the wife comes down with
it. and for two months she wheezes,
sneezes and coughs night and day. At
the end of the two months she lends the
disease to her husband, who keeps it
until the grass is ripe and haying be
gins, at which time he transfers it to
his sister, who is also a member of the
family. For two or three years the
family has been regularly visited by the
disease, and now the coming of summer
is hailed with anything but pleasure, for
it brings misery with it.—Utica Obser

Dag; His Way Out of Jail with. Toothpicks.
| A Navajo Indian, arrested for theft at
Gallup, N. M., was fed before being pat
in jail. While at dinner he provided
himself with a couple of toothpicls.
After incarceration, a few minutes' work
with the toothpicks enabled him to loos
en a. piece of wood 2 by 4 that was
stuck in the wall nSxt to the cell doer.
This removed, a large rock about twen
ty inches square dropped out of the wall
into the main room of the jail, where le
found an iron stove poker, which lie
used to pry off the inside door casing.
This done, he was a free "Injun," aid
is still at large.—Phoenix Herald.
