Here's the place to To buy your toggery,

His own good ship. his own staunch hooker,
Boots and shoes for gents and ladies,
Children and youth and little babies,

Cheaper than the other traders,
Who can only barely, wadde,
While he'll "just get up and kadaddle."
Work to wndward of the squadron,

Always sound and always certain,
Far across the raging Huron,
But the God Of navigation
Likes the style Of the Kalooah,
Likes her owners and her captain,
And he blesses every package,
Every box and every barrel,
That comes that way most truly.
But the machine is quite unruly,
So I'll blow my whistle and
Shut off. ii. MARKS

EE A bold and ungallant confidence
game was practiced on lady in Natchez
Miss, recently. Mrs Aylet Bouckner, Of
that city, had just drawn from banking
house the sum of $4,000. While crossing
the sidewalk from the door to her carriage
she was accosted by person of gentle.
manly exterior, who told her that Mr..
Britton had made a mistake in counting
the money, and that he wished to recount
it. Not distrusting the occurrence at all
but presuming the stranger to be a clerk,
she handed him the money and got into
the carriage. The person of gentleman
ly exterior did not return.

silver Discoveries in California.

From our California correspondent we
have received San Francisco papers, over
land--Wells, Fargo & Co.'s Express
giving full accounts respecting the recent
discoveries of precious metals in that
State, and extrsct the follow ing from the
San Francisco Times, of Gee. 8:
Much as has been published of the
.Washoe Silver Mines, their richness, and
the prospect of future wealth to be de-
rived from therl, but few are aware Of
the progress that has already been made,
and the AMOUNT of silver coin and bullion
which Las been and will in few days, IN
gree thy increased quantities, be added to
Inc resources of the Pacific coast from
this source. We learn, from reliable au-
thority, that with the new furnaces Just
completed, and other facilities for reduc-
ing silver ores recently added to their
establishment, that after this present week
Messrs, Mosheimer s. Co. will be able to
smelt three tons per day, giving bullion
to the value Of $4,000 to $4,000 each
81 hours; say, at least, $4,000 as the
weekly production.
There has been brought here already
we'll nigh one hundred tons of ore, and
large quantity is. known to be on the
road between Placerville and the east side
of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, most Of
which, if not all, will reach here during
the winter, as it is said the road is now
open so that stages are again passing over
the mountains. Should not the winter
prove unusually severe, the shipment o

boxes, it being too valuable to be carried
in bags liable to be torn or worn out dur

stamps, and then smelted i'll the peculia

this profitable business will be monop'

E~Alepal friend iuformstbeC bicac

EEAlegal friend informs the Chicago
Times, that he had just drawn up an
assignment for the proprietor of an ex-
tensive millinery establishment in that
city, whose failure was occasioncd chiefly
by the prevailing fashion among ladies,
of wearing upon their heads the wooden
articles called ''clouds" and hoods, in
stead of bonnets. This assignor declar-
ed he had sold scarcely bonnet this
winter, and the case was similar with the

OUR DOG JOCK.

A rolicksome, frolicsome, rare old cock
AS ever treed 'possuni, was our dog Jock;
A gieesome, feasome, affectionate beast,
As slow at fight swift at feast;
A wit among dogs, with wag to his tail
Which denoted affection might always prevail.
When his spirf grew sad, and his sight became
dim,
He endeaFored TO recognise friends through the
film.
Alas never more shall our knees be pressed
BY his dear old chaps, IN their slobbeIr rest;
Nor our mirth be stirred at his solemn looks,
AS wise and as duh as divinity books.
Our old friends dead, but we all well know
That he's gone to the place where the good dogs
go;
Where the bone OF contention is never picked,
Nor the crumbs from empty pantry licked.
Fareweilto old Jock we shall miss his growl,
As he aipped at the legs of obtruding fowl;
And his clatter to seize by the ear those swine
With their thrust into the swill of the kline.
And his answering howl when some fyste, afar,
Was heard to bark at the morning star,
Is lingering yet, like musical note
From the ample depths of the old dogs throat.
Farewell from the cares of world like this,
Thou hast gone to a kennel of canine bliss

Good for John! The morality is excellent.

IHE BAG OF CHESINUTs.-We find the fol-
lowing in the Pacific. 1t illustrates this point
most people like little humbuggery. The
Church, the poor the suffering, appeal for aid in
vain to the charitable feeling of mankind; but
hold ladies' festival, give ball or theatrical
entertainment-anything that partakes of the
gay, mysterious OF romantic-and purses will
bleed as freely as the most liberal could desire.
The story runs thus:
"Rev. Asa Bullard, agent of the Massachu-
setts Sunday School Society, at one time visited
an interior town, and made strong appeal for
the Sabbath School Society. Before he left the
place, he received from an old woman quart of
chestnuts- Gold and silver she had none, but
such as she had, she gave, in order to show that
lard was considerably affected by this widows
mite, as an expression of genuine interest of a
Christian heart i'll his work. The next meeting
he addressed, he took occasion 10 mention the
circumstance, and showed has audience the bag
OF ehestnuts. He offered it to the highest bidder
and sold 1T. The purchaser gave it back. 1t
was again sold and re-donated; and so on, until
a large sum was realised, and still the chestnuts
renamed unsold. So great was the interest
awakened in that poor womap's gift, that Mr.. B.
divided the chestnuts into several parcels, and
sent them into different places, where they were
sold and returned the same as the original par
Gel. Parishes that heard of it. seE,s to Mr.. Bull
lard for the chestnuts, to bid on them. Hc finally
put single chestnut in glass bottle, and so
filled his orders as we'll as he could. Little did
the good and true hearted old woman dream that
her expression of goodwill would result in such
a stirring up of gifts and offerings to the Lord"

An ARKANSAS Fathers ADVICE TO HIS So,

An ARKANSAS FATHERS ADVICE TO HIS Son.
We don't know where We picked up the
following bit of fun and wisdom, but where
ever it came from it is good. There is gen.
uine humor in the idea that an Arkansas man
finds the most natural expression, even OF
parting advice to his son, in the language of
the card table and the way the terms of the
game of" euchre" are fitted to the game of
life, is ingenious. The advice, translated into
the ordinary language OF caution and warn
ing, is abouta as good as we ever encountered:
Bob you are about leaving home for
strange parts. You're going to throw me out
of the game, and go it alone. The odds is
agin you, Bob; but remember always, that
Industry and perseverance are the winning.

and all that sort of thing will do to fill up
with, like small trumps, but you must have
the bowers to back 'em else they amt worth
shucks. If luck runs agin you pretty strong,
don't cave in and look like sick chicken on
rainy day, but hold your head up and make
'em believe you're flush of trumps they
won't play so hard agin you. I've lived and
travelled around sore, Bob, aud I've found
out that as soon as folks thought you held a
weak hand they'd buck agin you strong, So
whenyou're sorter weak, keep ON a bold front,
but always play cautious; be satisfied with
pint Many's the hand I've seen euchred
cause. they played for too much. Keep your
eyes we'll skinned Bob; don't iet'em mig on
rou recollect the game lays as nuch with
the head as with the hands. Be temperate,
never get drunk, for then no matter how good
your hand, yoa won't know how to play it;
both bowers and ace won't save you, for
there's sartin to be 'misdeal, or something
wrong. And another thing, Bob, (this was
spoken in low tone,) don't 60 too much on
the women; queens is kinder poor cards; the
more you have of EN- the worse for you; you
might have three and nary trump / don't
say discard EN- all; if you git hold of one
that's trump, it's all pight, and there's sartin
to be one out of four aud above ALL Bob.
be honest; never take trick wot don't be-
long to you nor slip cards or mig for then
you can't look your man in the face, and when
that's the case there's no fun in the game
it's regular scut throat. So now, Bob. fare
well; remember wot tell you, and yon'll be
sure to win and if you don't, it'll sarve you

DECLINES HER RENDEARMENTs.-.Mos of our
readers have read of young, handsome, spriSht-
ly, versatile, poetical little body, known as Ada
Isaacs Menkin, wko has lately gossipped great
deal, written saucy answers to mpertinent news
paper editors, and persistently declared herself
to be the lawful welded wife of John c. Heenan,
the prize-fghter.
When the romantic Ada first made this an
nouncement, Mr.. Menkin--consort de facto-
expressed his surprise publicly, and wondered
when the divorce was procured-he hadn't heard
of it Nothing sbashed or intimaidated by this
surly avowal, the strong-minded Ada reiterated
her statement, and,again pronounced herself, as
above; with the superadded declaration that no
earthly power should prevent her from adhering
to the fortunes of her brave Bcnicia Boy
Now, it appears that Mr.. Heenan is equally as
hard-hearted as the detestible Menkin If there
has been any marriage to him, he is not aware of
it! Thus, the divine Ada is fouted on both sides.
But who wouldn't believe such woman, in pref
erence to all the churlish men in christendom
TAis is what Heenan writes from London to
Wilkes New York Spirit of the Times:
"Before l close, let me say word about one
thing have never thought it worth my while to
notice before, but which has given me good deal
of annoyance. You will understand what l
mean when | say l have never been married in
my life; and / may as we'll make my meaning
palmer, by hoping that the foolish woman who,
for her own purposes, has stated so will try to
make better reputation in different way |

Women Going to Bed.

Some fine writer gives the following as
the manner in which IA young lady goes to
bed:
When bedtime arrives, she trips up stairs
with a candle in hand and if she had pleas
ant company during the evening with some
agreeable ideas in her head. The candle on
the toilet and her luxuriant hair is speedily
emancipated from the thraldom of combs and
pins. If she usually wears "wuter curls,n or
uses the "iron," her hair is brushed very
carefully from her forehead, and the whole
completely secured; if not, why then her
lovely tre3ses are soon hid in innumerable
bits Of paper. This task accomplished, a
night cap appears, edged, it may be, with
plain muslin, or perhaps with heavy lace;
which hides all, save her own sweet counte-
nance. AS soon as she ties the strings, she
probably takes peep in the glass, and half
smiles and bushes at what she sees. The
light is out-her fair, delicate form gently
presses the couch, and like a dear, innocent,
lovely creature as she is, she falls gently into
sleep, with smile on her still sweeter face.
We don't approve of the description, and
feel safe in saying that the young lady at
least takes off her shoes and stockings, and
becomes separated from her skeleton skirt,
before her delicate form presses the couch.
