CRAZE VINE HooPs-The Territorial En-
terprise tells story Of a susceptible young
ster of Virginia City. who has been out IN
the neighborhood of Pea Vine Ranch and
Long Valley rusticating and killing sage hens
and rabbits:
As he was returning in the evening, laden
down with the results of successful DAY
hunt, he espied sitting on pie OF chlps
near the door of a log cabin lazy, whose
fair brow had scarce seen sixteen summers
lie accosted the tender dameel, ana request
Cd q drink of water, which was turhlshe
him with grace that made his heart paIpl-
tate with varying emotions There are Tunes
when the proudest heart responds TO word
or look from pretty woman. Our nero mao
been successful in hunting during the Gay,
and several fat sage hens and cotton-tailed
rabbit. loosely slung over his shoulder, at,
tested his skill as marksnan. footsore ana
weary, little wonder was it that he laid aside
the trophies of the day and seated himself on
the pile Of chips beside her. In the course
Of conversation, our friend inquired OF the
lady whether she was not an emlgrant,
Waal, s'posin' | is, stranger; beant they as
good as any other folksy' was the Indignant
reply. Our friend protested that they were
Just the best kind of folks you could scare
up, and assured her that he me"nt no oifense
in asking the question. Thinking 1T would
be no more than common roIiteness to m
quire of her " hat Stare she hailed from, he
obviously made the inquiry. 81 cum from
from Arkansawr; amt that as good State
as any to cum from-sayT Our hero again
apologioed profusely and then gave 1t as his
settled conviction that "old Arkansawr ~
just "knocked the socks off any State in the
Union Finding that inquiries about mum
were regarded as imperlincnt, the young
gentleman thought it best to change the sub
iect, and inquired the cause OF several angu-
lar projections Of the young lady's dress.
"What them ar? Why, dad drap it, then.'s

tinued, surveying herself admiringly, "hcm' :

they're all got to wearing these yer-cause
they're an all.fred sight cheaper than the
store-hoops-y.a-a-e, they is. BuT grape

break about "let him out" and man about
his size might have been seen, few minutes
after, striding up the road, frantically en-
deavoring to whistle the "Arkansaw Trav-
eler." If anybody wants TO conrt that gal,
they can get the particulars by calling at a
hard ware store on b street.
