A PIKEs PEAK CATEGHIsM.-The rush to Pixies
Peak is great, and thousands are going ont only
to be disappointed. Every claim from Gregory's
to Snowy Range is taken and to get one requires
capital, while to work one successfully requires
large capital. A man with bare hands stands no
chance, and had better have staid at home. This
is why so many return eursing the country, when
the sole fault is with themselves. The rancheros
on the route are bored beyond endurance by queg.

this shrewd device to save trouble:

the answers. Question-How far is it to Denver
Answer-Eghty four miles. Q-How far to Cot

Q-Hew do you like living here? A-Well enough.
Q-How long have you owned this rancho?

FATAL Doc FIGHT.-The Pittsburg Dispatch
relates the following incident
On Sunday afternoon, half intoxicated individ-
ual, sauntering through an alley in the rear of
Boyle street, Second Ward, Allegheny, stumbled
over dog lying in his way, and seizing the un-
offending animal by the hind legs, tossed it over
his shoulder, and proceeded up the alley with the
dogs head dangling down his back. As soon as
the poor brute recovered from the surprise of the
sudden assault, it evinced its discomfort by fixing
double row of teeth in the back of the practical
joker. The latter instantly dropped the dog, bntt
from his pocket huge clasp knife, with which he
deliberately cut its throat The dog belonged to a
family of colored persons, of whom there isa right

Al CHINESE BATTLE.-A Chinese battle is as good
as q farce. Some of the little fights at Shanghai
are very amusing. One day when a great many
soldiers were cut, saw more of the combat than
was pleasant. Having got into the line of fire,
was forced to take shelter behind grave, the bull
lets striking the grave from each side every second
Why they came my way it was difficult to discoY-
err for they ought to have passed on the other side
of creek, about twenty yards distant to the peo-
pie they were intended for but to see the lodging
Of the soldiers, then OF the rebels, each trying to
evade the other, was most amusing. One fellow,
ready primed and loaded would rush up the side of
q grave hilioek drop his matchbox over the top,
and, without taking aim, blaze away. There is no
ramrod required for the shot they use the bullet or
bar Of iron is merely dropped in loose upon the
powder. There was fine scene when the Shang-
hai rebels made a sortie; one Of the men was cut
of by an Imperial skirmisher, who had his piece
loaded. The rebel had no time to charge his, so
he ran round and round grave which was high
enough to keep his enemy from shooting him when
on the opposite side. Hare.hunting is nothing to
it. Red-cap described hosts Of circles, and the
Royalist was fast getting blown, when the gods
took pity on his wind, for by some unlucky chance,
the rebel trpped and fell The soldier was at
him In o moment, and, to make sure of his prize,
put the muzzle OF his matchbox to Red-capts head
fired, and took TO his heels as fast as he could go
1t IS difficult TO say who was most astonished, when
Mr.. Red-cap did exactly the samel The bullet that
dropped down readily on the powder fen out
easily when the barrel was depressed The rebel
got off with good singing of his long hair.

stratngems to Obtain Admission TO the Ja-
panese Ball.

P'tts-Ts
The New York News thus amusingly relates
several of the many stratagems resorted to to OBJ
tain admission to the great japanese ball at the
Metropolitan:
IN consequence of the extremely select few who
were enabled to procure tickets for the grand ball
given expressly to honor our Japanese guests
large numbers of our more wealthy and retiring
fellowe citizens were put to their wits ends TO gain
admission; true, several tickets were offered on
the street at nineteen hundred per cent. pre-
mnm,m but the prospects of arrest from using
spurious tickets deferred them from investing, the
only chance, therefore, was to rough it, and we
have reason to believe that the stratagems resort
ed to N ire in most cases successful.
A leading iron merchant after using every
legitimate means to get in, at last went to we'll
known music store in the vicinity and hired flute
with which, after nicely wrapping itup, but in such
a manner as to let one end stick out, he presented
himself boldly at the entrance of the musi-
cians and was ushered within the little railing in
ljiffy. A friend of the dealer in metal, who had
watched the movement, Immediately deposited the
price of fife, and being broker, soon discovered
/ that his investment on buyers option = was a
successful operation.
a young gentleman who is considerably noted
fer his daring exploits and practical joking, son
