Over-Sensitiveness.— Writing from Colorado, a traveller says:—"At midnight it began to rain, and I never saw anything like it—indeed, I did not even see this, for it was too dark. We fastened down the curtains, and even caulked them with clothing; but the rain streamed in in 20 places notwithstanding. There was no escape. If one moved his fe«t out of a stream, he brought his body under one; and, if he moved his body, he caught one somewhere else. If he struggled out of the drenched blankets and sat up, he was bound to get a stream down the babk of his ceck. Meantime the stage was wandering about a plain with gaping gullies in it,,ibr the driver could not see an inch before his face, nor keep the road; and the storm pelted so pitilessly that there was not no keeping the horses still. With the first abatement the conductor turned out with a lantern to look for the road, and the first dash he made was into a chasm about 14 %g| deep, his hmtern following like a meteor. As soon a* he touched the bottom he sang out frantically, ' Don't come here!' To which the driver, who was looking over the precipice where he had disappeared, replied, with an injured air,' Think I'm a fool ?'" « The latest Irish fashion in head-gear," says the facetious " Sari Francisco Newsletter," "is a Home Rule bonnet. It has no crown." •'_'„■
