HARD TO BEAT.-Some of lbe Western {" river men"
are not slow coaches in telling long yarns. During
the late low water times, the river folks had nothing
else to do than sample fluids and solids, white, smoke
aid spin yarns About dozen wellknown river
captains, pilots, etc, congregated the other day,
when one of them led off with
"Capt. Mac, laundering cool morning.
"Cool," says Mac don't begin to be. Why,
boys, Pve seen the water SO cool up the Missouri,
that when and Bob Graham got into skif to cross
the river, Norther swept down the stream and the
water began to chill Pull, says L; Bob, stick in
your paddle, it's going to freeze
"'Tis freezing" said Bob.'
&c PULL" says and the ice began to get as
further, the ice was as thick beef steak. and
though Bob and kept breaking up the ice and
pushing the boat, ii got ahead of US that we
dropped the skif; she frozen in; we got out on
| the ice and ran like the -- TO get ashore before
we froZe to death p
" Not SO cold, that wasn't nurtber" says a weather
| beaten pilot: "now, there's Jimmy GaIfn and
were driving flock of sheep across prairie
near the Illinois; one of them North winds swept
down upon us we found we were going to freeze
so took 10 feet and run about two miles TO a
woods; there started fire and laid up for the
night. 1t was awful cold-a fellow would roast on
the side to the fire and freeze On the other. Well
boys, the next morning we goes out to the sheep

and Goliah we found 'em all dead-froze together

IHE lNAUGURATIoN.-In ne Guy OF w asnlngton IS
already beginning 10 fill up with strangers in view of
the approaching Presidential Inauguration. The Star
says
There are more stranger ladies' of fashionable cx-
teriors in Washingtonat this time than we ever be-
fare here except on an Inauguration day. Their
presence gives glow of animation, not only to the
immediate surroundings of Congress, the parIors of
our fashionable hotels the Smithsonian institution,
the Patent Office building, and other public edifces
visited by nearly all strangers who hther, but

A LATE DIscovERY-A writer in the London Post
has discovered that George Washington was born in
England, and makes up the following statements 10
support his assertion
III read in the Stars and Stripes or American
Impressions, that General Washington never went
to England, although he wished to do so. think
there were good grounds for him doing 50, because
he was born in England; he was a son of the Eng
lish soil. Auguslin Washington was born in Vir.
gnia, but George Washington was born in Cookham,
Berkshire, nineteen miles from Windsor, from the
second wife of his father, Miss Bull. The house in
which he born does not exist any longer but the
natives are aware Of the fact, and that the
books of tho parish have been destroyed by Ameri-
cans. The case was slightly mentioned at the time
of the election of Mr.. Washington to the Presidency,
but the general enthusiasm The great man stopped
| the rumor."
REAsoNABLE--AmoDg the many things in "Por-
| ters Spirit" is the following, which, is about rs

California Incidents.

The Marysville (Cal.) Herald, of a recent date,
describes a duel and bar-room fight in California,
as follows:
About two years ago, a fight took place in neigh
boring mountain town, which for desperation and
reckless bravery, is worthy of record. miner and
gambler had quarreled about some trivial affair,
and both having become the worse for liquor chal
lenge passed, any meeting was arranged to take
place within ten minutes, ON the floor of the gam.
bling saloon, without seconds, and each to choose
his own weapons.
The gambler produced Colts revolver, and step
ping to The place marked with cross-cbalk declared
himself ready. The other took his position, offering
the other end of silk handkerchief and at the same
time drawing from his belt bowie knife, declaring
himself ready, and requested bystander 10 give the
word The spectators, panic struck at the despera-
tion of the men, crowded back TO the wall, without
Offering the least opposition to the murderous fight,
and scarcely whisper was heard in the house. The
combatants stood waiting for the word, looking stead
ny IN each Others eyes, and apparently wthoat the
qulverng Of nerve. The word was given, and the
gamblers pistol snapped At the same time his an
sagonist struck fearful blow at his neck which
would have severed his head from his shoulders had
some touched his elbow and diverted the knife,
which passed over the gamblers shoulder and cut ID
dreadful cash in his back AT this moment the look
on, having recovered from their SURPRISE sprang
forward and separated the men, and ended the fight.

an individual armed with knife only, TO stand dur.

looking little fellow to drink. Selling him by the
arm, he dragged the boy up to the counter, had the
liquor poured out, and swore he should drink it, The
boy replied calmly, will not, and at the time not
trace of color could be seen in his face. "Then,
d-n you, you shall clear out" said the Irshman,
and dragging the boy the door, he kicked him in
TO the street The young threw one arm round
an awning post, and put The other hand behind him,
speaking in the same low, calm voice, you dare
not follow me out ~ The man sprang toward him,
and the boy, swinng himself round the post to gath
er force drove long, sharp TWO edged knife through
the breast of his assalant who fell deaf at his feet
The boy was tried before justice, and afterwards
the case was presented to Grand Jury, who, after
hearing the facts, refused to find bill. The young
is still at work in The mines there, and we have
often looked at his thin, pale face, where frmness
and courage are plainly indicated as though the
lines had been dug out with iron graver.
