ANAHEIM GAZETTE. RICHARD MELROSE. Editor and Proprietor PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY. Too Little. Johnny and May and Dicky and Bell Were going down to the Daisy Dell; "I know you're going, know very well; Take me too!" said dear little Nell. "Too much bother!" was lazy John, May, "Who wants you tagging along?" "Too little!" said Bell, "Course!" said Dick; "Hurry, now, Nellie and grow up quick." Two sweet lips to quivering fell; "Two little for what?" said dear little Nell; "Too little!" cried mother, "too little to bear Our portions in life—a burden in care. "Too little a heart for trouble to weigh, Too little for tears a moment to stay; Of wrongs and rebuffs too little to know; From mother's own side too little to go. "Let Johnny and Mary and Dicky and Bell Go frolicking down to the Daisy Dell; But mother and Nell and pussy-cat-mew Will have the merriest innocio too." The quivering broke in showers of smiles When mother went on to tell of the piles Of strawberry-cake, and candies, too. With bread and milk for pussy-cat-mew. The four round faces visibly fell— Looked sober enough at mother and Nell; She nestled and said, "I'll much rather stay I can't too little for you, anyway." A Strange Adventure. The particulars of the following interesting incident were communicated to the writer by Mr. Z. Hampel, employer at the time by certain San Francisco parties as a mining expert in Montana. During our examination of the Pleat River Valley, together with the beds of several creeks which make into it from the east, we camped for three weeks at a "bow" of the stream directly at the foot of two rocky, precipitous buttes which, at scarcely a rifle-shot from the river, rise at least a thousand feet above it. These crags are but spurs of a mountain-ridge which towered, cliff on cliff, to the westward, being part of the dividing range between Mountains yet, however, I had seen no trace nor spoor of the wild sheep. Half or three quarters of an hour elapsed, and by my watch it was already past the time when the big-horn had commonly made his appearance. Something much nearer at hand now took my attention; as I lay there, close under the rock, a large snake suddenly poked its head out, scarcely a foot from my cheek, causing me roll forth in haste. It was one of the most oddly-marked serpents which I have ever seen; and I think it belongs to some species not as yet described; On presenting my gunbutt to it, it drew back, but came farther out in a few moments, evidently disposed to dispute the ground with me. I did not like to get up and begin an attack on the reptile. So watching my chance, I pinned its head down with my rifle-butt, and bearing on it hard, waited for it to die. While thus engaged, chancing to glance along the rock, lo! there stood the big-horn buck, not over two hundred feet off. I lay as still as I could and bore on the snake. I didn't dare to let it go, for it looked venomous; so I held on and watched the buck; but turning my eyes back to the snake a moment later, to see how I was getting on with him, I saw two more similar snakes poking their heads out from beneath the boulder. At that, I got away to the other side of the rock, as quickly as I could; and still hoping I had not frightened the big-horn, peeped round from the back side. At that moment, however, a slight cranunching and scratching noise on the ledges caught my ear, and glancing around, I saw, a little off to the left, another interloper on the scene of my hunting operations, in the shape of a large gray-brown creature as big as a cow. It was some sort of a bear. "I do not think it was a grizzly proper, though it looked larger than any black or brown bear that I have ever seen. But there are bears of all stripes and varieties in those northwestern territories, even white bears or bears so light gray as to look white at a little distance. The sudden apparition of this beast, so near me there, startled me prodigiously. I thought he meant me, surely. I faced around with a jump, cocked my carbine and took hurried aim to fire—and then I saw that the hatch was not yet however, I had seen no trace nor spoor of the wild sheep.

During our examination of the Pleat River Valley, together with the beds of several creeks which make it from the east, we camped for three weeks at a "bow" of the stream directly at the foot of two rocky, precipitous buttes which, at scarcey a rifle-shot from the river, rise at least a thousand feet above it. These crags are but spurs of a mountain-ridge which towered, cliff on cliff, to the westward, being part of the dividing range betwixt Idaho and Montana Territories. These rocky heights were a favorite resort of the "big-horn" or wild, mountain sheep; the same animal which Professor Bair figures as the Ovis Montana, or the American Argali. For several mornings in succession, a large buck came regularly out in sight, at about nine o'clock, on the very brink of the precipice, and would stand for an hour, or more, "gazing," and seemingly motionless. Even at that height, the great size of its horns was very apparent. I was aware of the rarity, then, of good specimens of this interesting Argali, and determined to try my own hand at securing this buck for the Smithsonian collections; for the animal seemed a splendid specimen of his kind. Accordingly after locating the "pits" for the day's assays, I took my Spencer carbine and set off, a few mornings later, upon what I must confess was to me a novel and wholly untried business. The butte, or crag, upon which the big-horn had shown itself was the northernmost of the two first mentioned. Betwixt that and the one to the south of it, there was a canyon-like gorge, down the bottom of which, in time of rains, a torrent made its way into the river. I took the now dry and rocky bed of the torrent for my route up amongst the cliffs, thinking that I might thus gain some cover among the ledges, in the rear of the Argali post of observation, and by a well-directed ball, secure him for my prize. But though by this time somewhat familiar with the fearfully precipitous and inaccessible character of the buttes and needles of this roughest and most rocky of mountain ranges, I became well-nigh bewildered among the boulders and out-jutting crags in the gorge. Four hours of arduous climbing only took me to a point where I saw. I could get no farther. All above me were sheer precipices. The top of the spur looked ten times more inaccessible than from our camp on the river below. Completely fatigued, I sat down for half an hour, to get breath and strength to get back down the rocks. While sitting here, I chanced to notice on the opposite side of the gorge, a crack, or rent in the cliff, down which had come a "shoot" of coarse, reddish gravel and small stones. My eye followed the crevice—which might have been six or eight feet in breadth—upward to a sort of "shelf" at the foot of one of the summit ledges. Along the base of this ledge, the shelf-like bench of rock ran far round the head of the gorge half a mile or more away. It was some sort of a bear. I do not think it was a grizzly proper, though it looked larger than any black or brown bear that I have ever seen. But there are bears of all stripes and varieties in those northwestern territories, even white bears or bears so light gray as to look white at a little distance. The sudden apparition of this beast, so near me there, startled me prodigiously. I thought he meant me, surely. I faced around with a jump, cocked my carbine and took hurried aim to fire—and then I saw that the brute was not looking at me at all, but had its eyes beht malignly on some other object out past the rock, towards which it was moving with stealthy steps. Like myself, the bear was after mutton; and I confess, I wasn't sorry to perceive that he was not after me. As the ugly brute stole past, distant not more than eighty or ninety feet from where I was standing in the shadow of the rock, I peeped around to see if the Argali had taken to flight. Till that moment, I think that the big-horn had not seen the bear, for it was just facing round. Instead of fleeing, never did creature draw itself up more proudly. It stamped its fore-foot sharply on the rock once or twice, and slightly shook its large horns, making in its throat short, low, disconnected bleating sounds. That was the first fair view I had got of the Argali, and the thing that most astonished me was the size and mass we curve of its ponderous horns. The animal must have weighted near, or quite, three hundred pounds perhaps more. Its wool, which seemed rather like fine hair, was short, but looked to be very dense and compact; I should imagine it would have turned a charge of small shot, while its legs appeared to me to be longer than those of the ordinary Cotswold, or South Down, buck. Instead of making off, the big-horn walked boldly to meet his ugly assailant, with the port of a tried and dainteless champion, giving vent to a peculiar, whistling "blow" of defiance. The two were now not more than twenty-five or thirty yards apart. Seeing the ram so warriorlike, the bear paused a little with a menacing growl, then began stealing one foot slowly and cautiously before the other, with the hair rising on its neck and along its back. At this,the big-horn also paused, stamped its fore-feet alternately,and backed a few steps,then lowering its horns and curving in its arched nose,bounded forward at full spring. The bear rose slightly on his hind feet and extended its fore-paws as if to grasp its enemy. But the buck did not come to close quarters. His charge was a feint—this time. When within ten or fifteen feet of its adversary,他 stopped short and backed forty or fifty feet,m almost as swiftly as he had advanced. The bear,growling more loudly,now reconanenced its stealthy approach.Again the buck plunged forward,and again the bear rose slightly,vith extended fore-paws and an eager snuffing noise. But it was no feint on the big-horn. Of my hunting operations,in the shape of a large gray-brown creature as big as a cow. It was some sort of a bear. I do not think it was a grizzly proper though it looked larger than any black or brown bear that I have ever seen. But there are bears of all stripes and varieties in those northwestern territories,even white bears or bears so light gray as to look white at a little distance.

It stamped its fore-foot sharply on the rock once or twice,and slightly shook its large horns,making in its throat short,低disconnected bleating sounds.

Completely fatigued, I sat down for half an hour, to get breath and strength to get back down the rocks. While sitting here, I chanced to notice on the opposite side of the gorge, a crack, or rent in the cliff, down which had come a "shoot" of coarse, reddish gravel and small stones. My eye followed the crevice—which might have been six or eight feet in breadth—upward to a sort of "shelf" at the foot of one of the summit ledges. Along the base of this ledge, the shelf-like bench of rock ran far round the head of the gorge, half a mile or more to the westward. If once I could get up the "shoot" of loose stuff in the crevice, and gain the rock-bench above, I felt pretty sure I could follow round and get to the rear of the big-horn's watch-tower. But I was far too tired to attempt it that day; it was enough for me to get back to the camp. Before sunrise the next morning, however, I had made my arrangements and set off again; and having the advantage of the previous day's experience, I reached the foot of the "shoot" in much less time, and began to climb up by it. To make a ladder of loose gravel, lying on a steep incline, calls for some agile efforts; but the rocky sides of the crevice assisted me, though I often slipped back two steps while getting up one, and once came near sliding to the bottom when more than half way up. In half an hour I gained the rocky abelf, seen by me on the previous day, and thence with no great difficulty made my way by it to the top of the northernmost butte. Here I was on comparatively smooth, bare ledges, naked and utterly barren, save for patches of moss and here and there little patches of stunted rockwort and other alpine plants; and this sterile tract extended back for a mile or two, to the foot of a second line of precipices which rose, crag on crag, in most imposing array. But even this comparatively level plateau was strewn with huge boulders and rocking-stones, some of which, as large as a church, were tilted up in most amazing fashion. Keeping to cover of the boulders as much as possible, I went round upon the north spur and along to within a hundred yards of where I believed the big-horn had his "gazing-ground." Here I took up a good position partly under a large rock and in its cool shade, where I could look along the brink of the precipice beyond. As nose, bounded forward at full spring. The bear rose slightly on his hind feet and extended its fore-paws as if to grasp its enemy. But the buck did not come to close quarters. His charge was a feint—this time. When within ten or fifteen feet of its adversary, he stopped short and backed forty or fifty feet, almost as swiftly as he had advanced. The bear, growling more loudly, now reconnaenced its stealthy approach. Again the buck plunged forward, and again the bear rose slightly, with extended fore-paws and an eager snuffling noise. But it was no feint on the big-horn's part this time; at each short, sharp leap, it seemed to gather impetus, and at its final bound, it struck the bear plump in the breast, betwixt its outstretched paws. The queer grunt (or else it was the sound of the blow) which the bear gave could have been heard two hundred yards off. The great beast was fairly knocked over backwards, but leaped to its feet with a roar of anger, and whirled about to grapple the buck. The big-horn had already backed off, and in a moment was coming again at full spring. Again the bear rose to clasp it and received another tremendous stomach which landed him on his back. The roar of the bear could now have been heard a mile. But the buck was back out of reach before his antagonist could turn and seize him. The bear's tactics of rising on his haunches to enfold his adversary with his paws, seemed in this battle to operate against him. For the tremendous blows delivered by the big-horn overthrew the bear each time before it could clutch hold. Several feints on the buck's part now followed each other rapidly. Then there was another fair knock-over. They played off quarter-wise, then completely round each other. Two or three times the bear dashed furiously at the big-horn; and at this the latter would run off sidewise, in a semi-circle, and turn facing the bear at forty or fifty feet. This seemed his chosen distance of butting. They fought in this way eight or ten minutes; and by this time both were much "blown." Foam-flakes tinged with blood dropped from the mouth of the bear; and there was blood on the ram's fleece. So wrapt had I grown in the battle that I quite forgot my object there. The combatants had completely changed places; the bear was out where I had first seen the buck, near the top of the cliff. before the outbreak of the Zion youthful couple made their arrival in the town of Bath. One was young gentleman, of about twenty-three, who wore that of the Woolwich Artillery. was a fair and rather pretty talked English with a slight accent, and carried a baby. Had all the air of being married their youth might at the first make that appear unlikely to husband if he was the husband evidently rrench. Soon after liberation of war, the officer called a Roman Catholic priest, ran Bath, in a state of consideration, and begged him to watch wife and child till his retinue South Africa, whither he was to proceed. He added that reasons of the highest importance derided it impossible for him to his name and rank. The prize seem to have accepted that charge committed to him, and band sailed away. One day they news of the Prince Imperial Thinking to interest the young information, the priest telegram to her. To his aid she had no sooner heard it fainted. That alone would have little; but the Petit Lyonnais said that Father X——was shown a photograph of the Priest at sight of it, declared it to be trait of the very artillery owl had intrusted the lady and her his care. A few days later, lady with a baby applied for view to the porter of Camden Chiselhurst, and was admired stormy interview is said to curred between the mysterious cant and the Empress, who was nothing to do with either her child, and both departed. The came back to Chiselhurst again or two after, but this time was admittance. Since then she appeared, leaving no trace whereabouts. I have ever been of opinion amount of noise a man can with equanimity is in inversion to his mental powers, and taken therefore as a measure generally. If I hear a door for hours on the threshold owl I know well enough what kind I may expect from its inhabitant who habitually slams the door of closing it is not only an illusion a coarse-grained, feebly-endured nature.—Schopenhauer. Whether the big horn had any thought, or instinct, in thus circling round to get its foe in this position, it may not be easy to say; it may have had. For it seemed now to make its runs" on the bear more rapidly, without giving the latter time to recover its round. With a thrill of intense excitement, almost enthusiasm and sympathy, I wined what would follow. For now, barely drawing back ten yards, the big-horn dashed in its sledge-like blows hard and fast. On tiptoe I stole up nearer; and what expected to see, happened. The bear was knocked off the rocks, and with a rowl went lumbering down out of sight. I heard the loose stones falling over him. I might have shot it as it stood there, but it seemed too bad to do so. "The mithsonian may lose a fine specimen," sought I, "but I will not be the polooon to murder you in the hour of your well-earned triumph." But it appeared that I would have to count for my presence there; for, suddenly turning its head, the big-horn saw me, and in an instant faced about, breeled visiously, and arching its powerful neck, charged at me—much as had at the bear. But when a boy at home, among the hills of old Thuringen, I had learned a trick in dealing with bellicose rams. Cropping my carbine, I leaped suddenly one side, the buck dashed by me. Turning at a little distance, it stared me a moment, stamped its foot, then talked majestically off among the rocks. I now looked over the cliff to see what had become of the bear. Away down, exy or seventy feet, I could see something that looked like its gray brown hair. The next day, Judkins and two other miners made an attempt to reach the place—to get the bear's carcass for fresh meat—but gave it up. I think here was little doubt, however, that the bear was killed. Youth's Companion. Fatal Haste. As an excursion steamer neared the ending at Lake Quinsigamond at Worster, Mass., on July 4th, there was a antic rush from the shore to get on board, before those in the boat could end. The hurricane deck gave way and seven persons were drowned. On the same day the same fatal mischief. Fatal Haste. As an excursion steamer neared the landing at Lake Quinsigamond at Worster, Mass., on July 4th, there was a panic rush from the shore to get on board, before those in the boat could land. The hurricane deck gave way and seven persons were drowned. On the same day the same fatal misappetition headlong into the water and were taken out more or less injured, while some were killed. Now, in both cases, there was plenty room on board the boats for all who embarked, and there was plenty of time for them to embark quietly. The whole holiday was before them. Even if they had been left, they lost but an hour's amusement. Why, then should they fish and jostle maily as if on business life and death? Simply because, we are sorry to confess, the normal condition of the average American is that of anticaste. Look at the throng leaving a train or carry, or entering a popular place of amusement in any large city. You would suppose that every man was on his way to a dying mother, while, in all probability, not one has a single reason for any haste whatever. In France a crowd silently falls at once into a queue, or line; each man is served turn; or if he enters a public conveyance, he does it quietly, lifting his hat to those before him. In a word, he conducts himself like a rational being, and not an animal at feeding time. Yet the American, to be just, would be more apt to make way for his fellowman in essential things than would his foreign brother. We have made it a national habit to train, to hurry, to live at a white heat. Consequence, we wear out body and mind at middle age, or live a prey to countless nervous diseases. The calm, low, careful lives of the Friends offer the reverse side of the picture. They take haste slowly, and no class in the country attain a higher or fuller measure of success. Was the Prince Imperial Married. The following is translated from Le Petit Lonneaua: A short time, then, before the outbreak of the Zulu war, a youthful couple made their appearance in the town of Bath. One was a sickly young gentleman, of about twenty-two twenty-three, who wore the uniform of the Woolwich Artillery. The other was a fair and rather pretty girl, who liked English with a slight German accent, and carried a baby. The pair had all the air of being married, though their youth might at the first blush take that appear unlikely; and the husband (if he was the husband) was identyrench. Soon after the declaration of war, the officer called upon Roman Catholic priest, resident at But never mind the Nation and other disagreeable things. How can we, when a bevy of young wild ducks has just swam out of that clump of sedge, and a black bass, a four-pounder, has just leaped half a foot clear of the water, and "Carleton" has just pointed to a charming cottage on a hill, a mile or so off, with a broad lawn of yellow wheat—perhaps a hundred acres of it in front. "That man, four years ago," said he, "was a book-binder in Boston. I told him about this country, and he gathered up his little savings, and you he sits, among rosy children and broad acres in peace and contentment." This Park Region extends southward fifty miles, northward, I judge, about twenty-five miles, though in the multiplicity of facts I did not get exact information of its northern boundary, and it is from twenty to forty miles broad. At no point of its whole extent are you out of sight of a beautiful little lake, a park and rolling verdure. Every acre of it is taken, though I learn that excellent bargains can be had of stupid Scandinavians and others who have no more appreciation of the beautiful than a cow. And here again the infernal ax is at work. I have no doubt that the Park Region, within reach of the railway, will be swept bare as the tops of the Sierras. Thank the Lord they cannothew downthe hills and burn up the lakes. The Arab Physique. In Lady Anne Blunt's recent work on the Bedouin tribes of the Euphrates, there are some notes as to the physical condition of the Arabs that are medically interesting from more than one point of view. It seems that, in spite of their absolute temperance and constant open-air life, they decay prematurely. Well made and handsome in youth, at forty their beards are gray; at fifty they are old, and the age of sixty is reached by few. From childhood up, they are in hard training, eating but once a day and then sparingly; and sleeping on the ground. This insures them high health and a full enjoyment of all their faculties, at the time, but uses the body rapidly; and a certain "staleness" follows which the Bedouins acknowledge by withdrawing early from all unnecessary exertion. The reaction is quickly felt; men of forty complain of indigestion, rheumatism, etc., and of the first positive disease they die. In youth, ill health or defective powers are unknown; but a man who falls seriously ill has as little chance of recovery as the wild animal. Doctors do not exist, nor is there any knowledge of herbs. The sick man is obliged to move with the tribe. He is set on a camel and clings to it as best he can. In the tent he lies surrounded by his friends, who—very Job's comforters—talk to him till he dies. Wounds, too, are often fatal, from want of knowledge and quiet. The Bedouins have no great appearance of muscular strength, but they are singularly active and enduring. They are patient and humane, seldom allowing their passions to pass beyond control, one main reason being their sobriety. No drink stronger than "lebben," or sour He Staved Mesmerized.—Racently a York street family entertained a number of friends, and among the guests was a Nicholas street young man with mischief in his eye,and who had a penchant for practical joking. There was also in the party a Sussex street merchant, who boasted during the evening of being able to put the strongest mind in the room under the influence of mesmerism. It occurred to the Nicholas street young man at this moment that he could have a jolly time, and his eyes twinkled,and a smile beamed over his face as he announced himself ready for the sacrifice. The merchant commenced the operation,and in less than two minutes concluded that he had the Nicholas street young man under control. He was allowed to think so,fors his subject performed all manner of old tricks at his suggestion,much to the amusement of the company.Half an hour later the merchant considered that it was time to restore the young man to his senses.

He added that private reasons of the highest importance renamed it impossible for him to divulge his name and rank. The priest would seem to have accepted the delicate charge committed to him, and the husband sailed away. One day there came the news of the Prince Imperial's death, thinking to interest the young wife by the information, the priest read the diagram to her. To his amazement he had no sooner heard it than she consented. That alone would have proved little; but the Petit Lyonnais goes on say that Father X—was afterwards down a photograph of the Prince, and sight of it, declared it to be the porch of the very artillery officer who had intrusted the lady and her child to care. A few days later, a strangely with a baby applied for an interview to the porter of Camden House, Chiselhurst, and was admitted. A form my interview is said to have corrored between the mysterious applicant and the Empress, who would have nothing to do with either mother or child, and both departed. The mother came back to Chiselhurst again, a day two after, but this time was refused permission. Since then she has disappeared, leaving no trace of her hereabouts. I have ever been of opinion that the amount of noise a man can support with equanimity is in inverse proportion to his mental powers, and may be taken, therefore, as a measure of intellect generally. If I hear a dog barking at hours on the threshold of a house, I know well enough what kind of brains may expect from its inhabitants. He no habitually slams the door instead closing it is not only an ill-bred, but coarse-grained, feebly-endowed creature. Schopenhauer. A Child's Cool Courage.—A little girl of Cincinnati exhibited remarkable presence of mind and courage: The other day a four-year-old child in Cincinnati fell from a balcony fifty feet above a brick pavement, and went whirling toward the ground. On the porch of the story below stood a little girl ten years old, who saw the child fall and put out her arms in an attempt to save him. She did catch him, at the risk of being dragged over also, and though she was not strong enough to hold such a weight, she was able to turn the course of the boy's fall, and he landed at her feet on the floor of the porch. His head was somewhat cut, but his life was saved, and the little girl's arm was lamed, but not broken. The word character comes from a term which means to engrave upon or to ent in. Character is that inner substantial and essential quality which is wrought into the very soul, and makes a man what he actually is. The Cochrane (Ga.) Enterprise tells of a man at that place who never had a hair on his head, nor a tooth in his mouth. Nevertheless he has a large family, of which he takes good care. The Wedding Dues.—He said: "Squire, how much will it cost a durned old fool like me to get hitched?" She said: "Judge, we are not young critters. He is sixty and I'm turned forty, and I reckon you would do this 'ere job sorter kinder cheap.' He said: 'Can't you cut'er down just a little, for a durned old couple that's beginning rather late?' The Philadelphia Judge said: "The price is five dollars and I won't shave a hair." She said: "There she are" (producing the money), "and fur goodness sake jine us, jine us, for there's many a slip twixt the cup and lip, as the monkey said when he pulled the chestnuts out of the fire." He said: (the knot being tied): "Wat a durned old fool I am! Well, Jane, I pose I can put up with you for a year, anyway!" So out of the magistrate's office they went, arm in arm, the little old wrinkled man and the middle-aged widow, across the street together, in that new worhi which is the old, never once expecting that their hymeneal dicker would be duly reported in the next day's Record. The greatest evils in life have had their rise from something which was thought to be of too little importance to be attended to. DR. W. N.
