good joke is told at the expense of young
disciple Of Nimrod, who few days since pene-

dom, on hunting excursion. While skirting. a
little lake in the vicinity of the village at which he
left the cars, he suddenly espied two ducks half
concealed III the branches Of a fallen tree that
overhnng the waters edge. Raising his unerring
rife to his shoulder, he severed the head of one
from its body. AS the other did not fly away he
loaded and fired again. intending to bag both. The
duck, however, continued playing about in the
water, as though nothing had happened. Again
our hero loaded and fired, but the duck manifested
the utmost Indifference to his shots till he had fred
six times, when rejecting that i he persisted in
this course much longer, he would be compelled to
return to town for fresh supply Of ammunition lie
stealthily. approached the fallen tree, and was
somewhat surprised at the figure of man starting
up and saying, Well, stranger, you're the d--desi
fool ever saw. You've been firing at my decoy
ducks for half an hour, and have shot the head of
one, and put six bullets through the other. The
young hunter took the next train for the city and
thinks Of turning his attention to agricultural pur
| spits.

We published, some time ago, an account Of tuo.
white women having been captured IN Arizona BY
the Pinal Apaches and carried away into the wilds
of the Indian country. The Arizonian received by
the last mail has the following in regard to The
matter: s S
Every possible effort has been made to secure
the liberation of the two captiyes held by tho
Apaches, but to this day all has proved unayaiing
The several parties that left in pursuit have re-
turned, with the exception of the troops under the
command Of Capt. Ewell, who are at the Canon
del Gro; and the only information gathered thns
far, s their certainty Of being far in the Apache
country. Several Pinal prisoners have been libe-
rated in hopes Of their returning with the captives
death has been threatened to those remaining ID
our hands, in case they were not brought in by
certain day.
Since then, they have visited the camp Of Cant.
Ewell, and assert the women are not in the hands
of the Pinas, but are held in captivity by another
tribe of Apaches, and that sixty of their warriors
had started out in pursuit. Notwithstanding but
little reliance can be placed in their statemants
strong hopes entertained Of the early return OF
the unhappy women, in exchange for the large
number Of prisoners held by our citizens. If not
delivered up in a reasonable length of time, No
learn it is the intention to make campaign
against them, which we hope and believe will re-
suit finally in their liberation.

4 PERsEcuTED PRIEsT.-A capital story il told

which, even were it not told on such respectable
authority bears its truth on the face of it. As

earnestly to give him three numbers to play n the
lottery. z But how, under heaven, \, said the inno-
cent priest, has it ever got into your head that
can know the FIVE numbers which are to issue in
the lottery?n : En- padre neio, what will It cost

wretched family; if we do not pay our rent ON
nothing left but the lottery, and You can give MS
the three numbers that will set all right. Y oh,

credit to your brains. y Oh, no, no. do not say

numbers corresponding to the terms Sin, Death

friend to play them in the lottery.
Will you believe it? the three numbers are drawn
and the joy OF the poor toHegdio and his family
may well be imagined But what you will not
imagine the persecution Of the poor priest which
followed. The secret was all over town the next
day. and he was beset by scores of applicants for
numbers. Vainly he protested and declared that
he knew nothing, and that the mans playing the
right numbers was all chance. Every word he
spoke turned to numbers, and off ran his hearers
to play them. He was like the girl in the fairy
story, who dropped pearls every time she spoke.
The worst oil the imbroglio was, that ia IN honr
the good priest had uttered words equivalent to
players were all at loggerheads with each other.
Nor did this persecution cease for weeks, nor until
those who had played the numbers corresponding
to his words found themselves, as the Italians say,
with only flies in their hands. A
