If one can find an old miner with an unoccupied half an hour, lies rare and picturesque and "sufficient in number to freight a train can be had for the asking. Col. Thomas Jefferson Moloney, now an operator in Cripple Creek properties, has been through all the flush times Colorado has known, and has likewise more tightened his belt for lack of a times those at satisfactory dinner when Colorado was not so flush. "There have been no such strikes to the last five or six years," said Col.

I got a bucket at last along about 2 in the afternoon that weighed like a ton. I could scarcely lift it. I dumned it. and almost dropped dead. The ore was so rich in gold I could see it shine. I examined the bucket and found little strings of wire gold hanging to it.

We could nreach in and et out handfulls of gold that looked like It came from under a girl's hat. But we couldn't stand' In the shaft and admire it all There was at least $15,000 worth ot the stuff. The metal that was not free could easily be separated from the rest of the ore. It was enclosed in decomposed quartz, and required nothing but rubbing between the fingers to get it. We decided fo raise it all that night that is, unless it turned out a bigger find than we thought. We figured it best not to go about beating the drum to advertise our strike, but hoist the ore and do our talking later. "Jim stayed in the mine and I went back to the winch. Then my tempta tion came to me. There was a good, big piece of money there for one man, and just half as much each for two. I have read somwehere that every man has his price; if you keep on bidding, you can reach him sure at some spot. Since that day I have shuddered to think how cheap I. am. A measly $15,- 000 in ore came near getting me. It all came to me as if it were printed in big letters and held before my face. I could call to Jim and get him out of the drift into the bottom f the shaft, and let go the windlass.

The voice of Du Maurier, who till then had been chatting with animation, suddenly fell, and over his" face came an indefinable expression of mingled terror and danger and sorrow. ."I was drawing from a model, when suddenly the girl's head seemed to me to dwindle to the size of a walnut I clapped my hand over my left eye. Had I been mistaken.? I could see as well as ever, j But when in its turn I covered my right eye I learned what had happened. My left eye had failed me; It might be altogether lost. It was so sudden a blow that I was as thunderstruck. Seeing my dismay, Van Lerius came up and asked me what might be the matter, and when I told him he said that it was nothing; that he had had that himself, and ' so on. And a ' doctor, whom I anxiously consulted that same day, comforted me and said that the accident was a passing one. However, my eye grew worse and worse, and the fear of a total blindness beset me constantly. That tos the most tragic event of my I'fe. It poisoned all my existence." Du Maurier, as though to shake off a troubling obsession, rose i from his chair and walked about the room, cigarette in hand. "In the spring of 1S59 We heard of a great specialist, who lived in Dutssel-dor- f , and We went to see him. He examined my eyes, and said that, though the left eye was certainly lost, Ihad no reason to fear losing the other, but that I must be very careful, and not drink beer, or eat cheese, and so" on. It was very comforting :o know that I was not to be blind, but I have never shaken off the terror of that apprehension, "My life was a very prosperous one from the outset in London.

Now Are Caught and Mad Foie for Painters. Frcm tlie Brooklyn Times: The celebrated artist, Henrietta Ronner, of Parii, who is the foremost animal painter iti the feline' department at present, has been the subject of much attention) concerning her methods of work among the lowly or the aristocratic, for she paints cats of both high and low degree.. Brooklyn has a kitten painter also. He did not begin life as one, figures and fruit having always stood forj August Laux in art. A patron wanted him to paint a cat group once, and the artist succeeded so well with the order that he took felines on his list, and his name has become largely associated with them of late. Mr. Laux was found in his pleasant studio on Carroll street, and responded to the request to give some information as to his methods of work as follows: "I use a large cage to put my little models in when I am ready to paint them. If I want a lively, bright subbas-tilject I place a work basket in their That brings out all the mischief there is in them. They tangle the thread, roll the spools about and the very sauciest, most comical expressions and poses. When they are tired of playing they go to sleep, and then again out comes my notebook and I jot down some very pretty attitudes. Do you want a quiet, pleasant little picture? Then place a saucer of milk in the cage; and the little animals will c?me around it, and all you have to do The picture is Is just to paint them. almost siire to be satisfactory if well handled." Of course, Mr. Laux did not attain his present felicity of delineating the cat all at once. To paint Miss Tabby is "one of those things which break your heart.' as Tait, the famous animal painter, once said. Kittens are mercurial.

The negro, or rather De gress, in; question is named Nancy Gar rison, and is said to be the" only lone- naireu meiiiuer oj. uer race. Xaacy Is! a genuine negress; clack, with kinky hair. She is 48 years old. Untif 1878, after the yellow fever epidemijj there was nothing remarkable about! her, but during the scourge she had th J fever and came near dying. It was months before she was able to leave her hbuse. Immediately after her convalescence her short, kinky-- , hair began to grow rapidly, 'and in aj year's time it grew from three inches jto three feet in length, thickening as it grew. A few years later the crisp mass of hair fell bslow her knees. About this time a Vonderful change ot color tobk place-the jetty locks turned white as snow: and remained iso until two years ago since then the; hair, has turned gradu-iall- y to Its natural blackness. It con tinues to grow and now measures elev en feet. Prominent physicians of the Holly Springs neighborhood have, examined the woman's head and are to think, that the spell of fever produced the unnatural growth. She is fa living curiosity, visited by hundreds' who handle her massive braids before! they believe the truth. Like the ma-- j jority of the negroes, Nancy is super-- ! stitious, and the story she tells about' her hair is interesting. She claims that she had a vision while she lay: sick of fever; that a black woman stood before her with three long braids of kinky hair that fell to the floor; the; woman pointed to the hair, and disap peared. When her hair began to grow Nancy often thought of the vision. A year later, when she was alone in her cabin, the vision appeared again, holding in her hands the massive braids.' She said to Nancy: ('Behold, this is your hair. Mark me, it is as black as night-ishall be as white as snow." This frightened the negress and she bound u& her hair in a cloth and was afraid to loosen it or to look upon it for a month. When questioned about it she always says: "It's all the spirits' work.'
