Dangerous Piles of Sliver Dollar.
Silver money piled in heaps, like
or lumber, is very dangerous,
as it is very likely to topple over and
crush the clerks. I know it sounds like
a fable to fellows whose suspenders have
never been sagged by more than a fistful I
of quarter dollars to talk of the risk one
ran in a place this of getting crushed
to death under an avalanche of good and
lawful coined money, but tho darker is
nevertheless. Tho other day
noticed that our high wall of bags of

old clerks all ran to let it come, but the
colored man, ignorant of the tremendous
weight of silver, ran up to the caving j
pile and pushed with his hands, thinking
he could it up. As well try to hold
up so much falling stone.
Down it came with a crash, and the
colored man had a narrow escape,;
off with a few bruises and scratches. Six
years ago, at our old office at Sixth and
Locust streets, a pile of bags of silver,
in a bag, fell upon me and
me to tho floor. My head had a narrow
escape from getting crushed in like an
eggshell, and I was buried from tho feet
to the breast. The Irishman, who was
our watchman then, sprang to my as- ,
and clawed the bags right and
left off me. When I caught my breath
again I was thankful for my escape from
being crushed to a pulp. There are

Tho New Mexico Shepherd's Terror.
There is one dreaded plant among the
mountains which makes it a very frigid
day for the sheep that are so unfortunate
as to find it. No one seems to know its
name, but its effects are a terror to tho
wool grower. In five minutes after a
sheep has eaten it he swells as if ho had
swallowed a young balloon, jumps high
in the air and falls dead. When a
herd gets his first glimpse of these antics
rushes into the flock, bowling like a
Comanche, waving his blanket, whoop-
up his dogs, and starting his sheep on
a dead run, which ho takes care that they
shall maintain until they are completely
exhausted. In this way ho can
most of them. That spot is marked with
a big black cress in his mental diary
thereafter, and ho shuns it as no would
the plague. If ho is ever obliged to take
his sheep past it, ho keeps them on tho
keen gallop that they may no time
