After a little I turued my eyes on my companion. lie wan a tail, raw loned man, with ray eyes ond long red bair; heavy whiskers covered bis face, lie wore a shooting jacket and a loose flannel blouse.

Ho fixed tils eyes oti me for five minutes without speaking. At a certain station the guard, our guard that was, oc out and passed tho window. I saw anctuT official get on. Oct guard touched his rip and boarded an outgoing; train. We started? off with renewed rapidity.

I was feeling almost lonely and the slightest decree embarrassed by my close proximity to my unsociable comoaniou, when be got up from bis seat, ojened bis traveling ba, took out a pair of shears, and, putt.u his hand on toy shoulder, said: "I want yoa to cut my Lair." "Cut your hair!" I cried, too amazed to be alarmed. "Are you crazy! Cut your boir!" "Yes, eut my fcair immediately." "1 will not!" I exclaimed. "Guard, guard, come to me; this man's crazy!" I rushed to the doer; it was locked, of courso, and the guard 1 knew and ho knew us was miles away, having changed at the last station. "It is useless to make a disturbance," said tbe fellow. "I intend that you Lall cut my bair! If you do not, 1 will kiss you take your choice." Trembling.

I took the shears. "Wait, l'ut a towel around mv neck, i. inero. 1 taints, very mucn. iow, careiui ly." For half an hour I cut away; it had grown nuite 'tark, only tho dim litrht of tbe railroad Lmi) ilhimitie.l the coiniartiuent.

LVES LMO ULATU. The Desperate IMrmlua nf an Outlaw's Wife Iu feuttthrm Colorado, i I'efiver I The following c'narft jtoristic story of frontier life was told the reporter oi by Mr.

Nelson Franklin, who is in the city and who lias lived for some time dur'ns tho past two years in f'iiverton unil other town and camps in Southern Colorado: "A daring roblwry had tueu comn.itteJ. Tbeofticials of a weil known baukiug institution in a town in Houlhern Colorado, upon reaching the building one morning, discovered that a si le duor hnd 'been broken open, the fastenint; vt en inner door forced aud the safe containing tbi bank's valuables Urii'ioJ and leiieved of its contents. A careful ear. of tbe preruies revealed the body oi the watchman in an adjoining vacant loi pierced with kniie woiiinls and covered with bruises, showing the evidence of a strujlu, and that more tl.a:i one person as engaged in the mnrder and robbery. Soon the wholo community was arc.isei, and the Sheriff, with a posse of armed and mounted llien, was ready to Stan on the trail of the murderers.

l'ut who were they and hera could they be found wcro questions easier to ask than to answer. "On he floor of the banking room was found a large biimn.ed sombrero, decorated with iieculiar spancies. and which several itiens identified as having been v.ora by pi three strangers who came into town the afternoon before and bad been drin king at stjverai saloons during the evening. A fair description of these men wts obtained, r.Uo the information given by a ranchman who can into town during the' morning, that three nien answering the description, armed, and mounted on powerful horses, had pust. him while on his way abf.ut daylight, goin; souih at a rapid rate, evidently on their way to Mexico.

"Upon hearing the r.mc uii.m's story tfre ofliceis si purrted into three squads and started oil weil equipped for an encounter. Every trail over the 'mountain was examined and every possible clow followed lor several davs, bat to no purpose. The tank officials, Mavor of the town and Governor of the State offered rewards for the capture of the miscreants, which in tbe aggregate amounted to several tuousan is of dollars. This induced a large number of determined and brave men to join in the pursuit, which was prosecuted for more than a week without result. "Finally one of these parties, composed of three ot the best frontirsneu in the country, came suddenly upon the fugitive in a rocky canyon in the fastnesses of the Needle Jloutitains, h')rtly after daybreak, just as they were making f.

reparations lor a rude breakfast. Calling upon tbutn to surrender, they were answered by a volley of hots, which were at once returned. The battle being one of life or death, the firing lasted some minutes without resttlt, when one of the dttperadovs fell mortally wounded. The others, apparently a an end a ly, kept up the Qriug until their ammunition was ex hausted, when they were comf elied perforce to surrender. They were taken back to tbe camp or main rendezvous of the pursuing party, together with the body of the dead man.

There it was proposed to lynch the s'jrvivors, when a singular thing happened. The boy, who appeared to be not over eighteen years of age, and of fair complexion and long hair, addressarl tho assemblage about as follows: nien. I suMKKe we have not very bn? to livo, but before you cerry your purpose into execution allow in, say that this wrs innocent of any complicity in tin liiiir'ier, but that the man who la dead and myself killed hi.n, and your vengeance shonl i fail upon me, the only guil'y one "The clear, musical, pleading voice, the hair streaming in the wind, aud tbe bright, sparkling eyes, which plowed with atiiuiatKiu an 1 were siiitused with tears dur iug'the pr idti ed an upon these men f'r whieli they at the could not account. At the conclusion, however, the other vnoner MiilWhiy started up and said: 'Gentlemen, don't lelieve tbe story told you. This is niy wife, who, Ironi her devotion to unworthy iue, has accoivpanied me in all my wanucringa tlrtsso i in ti.e garb of a man.

he has in many desperate tn cou ntcrs saved my life and, althougii delicately reared, has shared in all the hard ship's, dangers and privations ot my life, and not only had no share in the transaction of that evening, but would have prevented them could sne Lave done so. Don't hen she would save my life at the excuse of her own. "This streak of manliness in a natnre so apparently mean rather staggered tue Uon in thair intentions for a few moments but presently some of tho leaders, remembering their purpose, ordered that preparations should at once be made for' tbe of th man. Suddenly the woman sprang up lika a tigress nltmit to deprived of her young, and, snatching a p.i.;?ol from the belt of one of the men, defied tiietnto han: ber busbaud; then in another spirit, sho fell on her knees and piteously prayed tbe stern men before her to spare her love, ber life. The appeal was most piteous and affectin and at its close she fell into a dead swoon.

It was early in the month of October that my friend llermia and I made our lon anticjpated pilgrimage to tbe Canterbury Shakers. tV'e did not arrive at the settlement till after dark, an 1 our rap at the great door of ska is called the "offico," whore strangers are received, wr.s rat bur a tic dd one.

It was opened hospitably biowever, by a woman who save us kindly Welcome and conducted us through tbe hall to a cozy sit ting rooiu, where she bade us "make our stlves at It was to this sister's special care that wa were committed during our stay. They called ber ii. ter Elizabeth. She' was dressed like all tbe others, in a gray but ith a plain round aist looseiy litiiug the figure, on which the full skirt was plaited in small, uniform, kilt plaits. A lare white kerchief was folded about her neck aud across her breast in some marvelous way tuat have tried in vain to imitate.

A little cloe lace cap, like the milliner's bonnet frame, covered her rather blonds hair, which was con; bed straight baik from the forehead and tasted in' a fiat knot behind. THE SHAKEit DRESS. The dress, though u'y iu itself, makes now and then a woman a wt nler of quaint loveliness. It was so with SiUT Elizabeth; it suited her quiet eyes, her gently smiilng mouth nnd cairn rejxjse manner; also, tiio somewhat severe but graceful lines of her slender figure. Thay wear a hoop of some contrivance whicLt extends the r.kirt with a straight and gradual sior.e from wai.t to neui aaa give a stately look to tii wearer.

on, when 1 saw the sisters all together, 1 decidei that this drT ss was riiiuark aniy well suited to the majority seeming to belong to liieiu very l.tness and they to it. They are all, rare exceptions, thiu and aie, with a suber if not severe expression of countenance when in repose. There are no plump, merry faces: even the children iood old aud staid until tbfy speak, and then there seems to be an intangible something a repression, pel nups that sets then a little apart from our lull sympathy. The society at Canterbury, is. cotis.sts of three families who live ar.

are governed separately, 1 ut worship together in tue same church, ercept in winter, when as a matter of couven.ence tney occupy halls in own separate buddings. The family wua whom we visited was the first or church family. There are various buildings belonging to it; homes, a school house, workshops one for the men, one for tne woflV'U and for tho children a printing cilice, an ilrmary where an eldor sister presides over a full equipment of drugs and medicinus, to whicn are added their own peculiar remedies tSbaker bitters, etc. 1 can testify "to Um good sister's for sbe dispelled my wretched beaducue in a trice with a magical dose from a dainty little glass. TIIE FARM, Of courses their main support end income is the farm, which is large and tundor a faih stats of cultivation.

It is well stocked with cattle and horses, but. they do not raise either. Pigs they have none, and pork is iu tenlicted as an articie of food. Some of the horses are magnificent creatures, and so intelligent that they como and go at the call of the.r keepers, and do many wonderful tricks. On of a span of irou grays bas a trick of walking through the barn and displacing with his teeth and throwing about every article be can find.

Very disorderly for a Shaker horse! The house in which we were entertained was large and square, with wide balls and staircases two sots one for men and one for women; they wer on opp ndsxxf the boat, but so confusiuir last we tall in1 disgrace half the 'time from blundering v.p the stairs or into the wrong rooms. The floors were of dark wood, stained and polished till they were slippery as glass, and tue doors and casings were tvery where stained a peculiar aibetic yellow, which, "witit the ijuaint surroundings, was very effective. i SIMPLE EI.JCGAN'C. Nothing anywhere is or ormean, tbongb all is severely simple. I Our room was a pic ture the yeliow stainfd doors and Fhutters, the ftolished floor, over which were scattered largej baudsome rugs of Soaker manu facture: tues ot soft wool, and closely resehibie rpjyrua rugs; tue two white beds iu opposite corners, the little cast iron stove, plain and smooth, and aUmt as big as a good sized loaf of bread, in which a nre crackled cheeriuny.

ibesa stoves are in every room alike; no larger in office or dining fooih. How do they keep warm in winter thetie! Lut most dainty and delightful of all were the curtains, wnica neariv arove dear, as he tic Hoi bj hi wild. wo re of white l.nen. aud isuspeuuud Nby brass rins, on brass rod. jThey were startched very stillly.

and where every ring was sewed were oned to bane in a fold from top to bottom When drawn back they formed a flat mass of folds, aii 1 were conlined hijh up at the side of thelwide, sinab paned window bv a brass tixtuQe. like an inverted shepkuid's crcok. Wfteii down and spread they loom like well, like a Shaker etnereaiiztd, Hermia nptiy said. Tneso were the curiuuis evcrj where. We ww no others.

At the head of euch staircase was a tall, old fashioned clock, as old os th house it seli'. which was built over a hundred years These sentinel like clocks seemed part and parcel of the place, and we 'heard them at midnight calling to each other in solemn keeping their laithfal watch while others slept. I nrciEXic rvi.es. It is the custom to serve nieals to guests in a ami at a table by themselves, i perunps, seems hardly hW but tue fact that the Soakers eat in si'eiice soinewnat alurs the aspect of the cusp. The l.

nailers and sisters sit together, on opposite sides of the tabie, but they speak ouly to tbo waiters in attendance. 'the eider expiaineyS.to u.s that this was for. physiological reasvbut it tloes seem to make the mailer sweating mereiy one of' feeding, docs it not a l)ut 1 wish to ricrht'hkw that these people are far from l. ing coarse or ignorant. Thi'V are notably otherwise; the women in particular are remarkably redned and inU.1 lovtunl.

Tho sisters outnumber the brethren as five to one in every family, aud tni auvautaa nione would, perhaps keep the mu raluor in tne bnckccoiind bil)c 1 ajn ttroii'iv uic iined to the opVnijii jwuile ttia ciders and a others are uaturriiiyi and wed educated, tbo majority are in all respects interior to tho vomeu. As Sister Lnzabnth remarked with a twinkle in ber eye, "it is woman's day here." Tbey are extremely kind nnd. courteous to the brethren, however, and they never fail to acknowledge thesdhteat service with a pentle "TbauK you kindly, brother." Tbey look after their wants, too, with motherly care, eacu one of the elder sisters having tne clothes and g' neral well ing of one or two brothers ber scial charge. According to tne Scripture injunction their nay is nny, but their yea is. not but ye; and 1 was toll by one of the sifters that it was her habit to even write it without the but 1 think that does not prevail.

EUVCATbOX. Their schools must bo excellent, fur the children are wed advanced in every brancn. Particular attention is given to music. 1 am sure I coul not in any city schools pick up a proportionate number of boys aud gir.s who can king a well as those children did. And there in no singing by note; even the little ones read music readily.

The piano aud other instruments are also taught. 1 he proficiency in music is mainly owing to the fact that the teachers themselves have had the best musical instructors that could be obtained in our cities, and they have for years drilled the wbolo family two half hours" dailv. All sing, with verv few exceptions. and it is remarkable how many really Hue voices there are. Their autfeems aud hymns for church use are written entirely by Shakers, and are.

of course, peculiar. Most of the latter are chorals, which they sing with great spirit. There is much repetition, both of music and words, which seems a necessity when we consider that the greater part of their ser vice singing. It i wonderful that they have the physical atreogtn to sing a taey a a. iney au aaa sing, tbey march and sing, tney Kneel and sing endless verses, and the last note is as loud and clear as the first.

Most of hymns have a ring of trjumph and victory about them, though some are exceedingly sweet and tender. No, one who hears the Shakers ran doubt that with laeni singing is, indeed, worship. i RELfClOTS FERVICES. tV attended their regular church services on Sunday. Aside rrrrafi the singing it consisted of a short Scripture reading, a bort sermon or address by the minister, "Eider ilenry" tbey call kiiii, and remarks by seyj erwl members.

SUe was dressed iu reulaiioa Shaker garb, except 'that her ray was of richer material, and to the bttle clom cap was1 added a larce white lace vy il, which crowned her regal head and itli yracetuily uion her snouiders. Her chief wucf white atin, nose creamy folds contrasted wtid with her dark eyes and bair. It was lvlre Uorotby. We learned hor history afterward. She came to.

She adJref. ed a few remarks to them before the meeang closed, in which sho called tberh her her treasure. "A mother's children are her treasure the world ovVr," she said, "and you are mine.

li I 1 not bring you forth into the heavenly with throes of more than mortal Ail your lives I have borne your sins aud sorrows on my heart; your burdens have been mine. You are indeed my children, and your goodness and happiness are my crown and reward." i i She spoke with wonderful dignity and tenderness, touching our beans. strainiei though we were, with a feeling" of reverenco. tut uer uunuiuui uioiuei iniou. Ai.cr tin, bad she not known maternity iu its hign est sense? Several of the young sisters stiilod" as they were moved.

Tim first to "ak was a young girl not more than sixteen jvnrs of age. Nothing could be more tenderly beautiful than her face, lier large dark eyes were soft with tears and ber full red lips trembled na she rpoke. She was verv much in earnest. and in a voice broken with s'ibs declared her lore lor a holy life and her deiei'uiinaii'u to persevere in it. She concluded in tbe softest, sweetest of giriisa aeceuts, "1 do love' the virgin lite, and 1 do love yon, dear brothers and As she sat down an elder t.

Butler Fifty Years Ola. 1 New York Times. Fifty vears ago tbe Jupp family, famous Hudson Valley butter makers of that day, occupied the farm now belonging to Charles MeC'hesney near this station. Mrs.

Jupp's butter was always packed In peculiarly shaped earthen crocks, and commanded a hi her price in tb Albany and other markets. Before sending a crock of butter to market it was her custom to lower it into a well on the premises which was noted for its very cold water. Mrs. Jupp would leave the butter hanging In tha water lor several hours, and when taken out it would be as hard and cold aa ice. One day in 1S34 she was lowering a crock of butter Into the well, when tb rope broke and th crock fell to the bottom, rtoertort waa ever made to recover it.

Tbo great event in Neptune's course ia November is his opposition with tbe sun, which takes place on the 13th at 3 o'clock in tbe afternoon. He is then at his nearest point to the earth, and is seen in opposition or opposite to tbe sun, risir.g in the east as the sua sets in the west, and passing from tbe sun's western side, where he bas played tbe part of morning star, to the suu's eastern side, where he will play the part of evening star. The earth is then between him and the sun. so that a straight Una drawn from the sun through the earth will, if extended, reach Neptune. If the four epochs in the revolution of tb superior or outer planets one fixed in the memory, it will be comparatively easy to follow them tbeir course.

These points are opposition, quadrature on the sua'i eastern side, conjunction, and quadrature on the sun's western side. These aspects are nearly all illustrated during the present Neptune is in opposition, Saturn is approaching opposition, Jupiter is in quadrature, Uranus is approaching quadrature, and Mars is approaching conjunction. If it were possible on the loth to take a bird's eye view tb solar system which one cau easilyr do ia the mind's eye the observer would behold Neptune ia line wi.h the earth aud tb sun; Saturn near the taiaegoal: Jupiter poised half Way between conjunction and opposition, and the advanced on th track, tha lour giiur plane itoing ad assembled on the western side of the sua.
