In the northern part ofthis State california; ~
a stream called Yuba River Across it some enter
prising idividual bullt a bridge; and OH the banks
somebody else built thres or four houses. The
inha5itapts called the place Yuba Dam. Three
bars were instantly erected, and the TOWN. III,
creased rapidly. About noon one cool day, d
traveller and u sojourner in the land, passed this
hourishiRg locality, and seeing a long legged spec
linen Of Humanity in u red shirt, smok ing before
one of the bers, thus addressed him:
Hello
Hello! replied the shirt, with vigor, remoy-
ing his pipe from his mouth.
What place is this 2 demanded the Traveller,
whose name was Thomson.
The answer Of the shirt was quite unexpected.
'Yuba DAM
There was about fifty yards between them, and
tue wind was blowing. Mr.. Thomson thought he
had been mistaken.
What did you say r he asked.
'Fuba DAM replied the Stranger cheerfuliy.
What place is this 2 roared Mr.. Thompson.
'fu.ba DamP said red shirt in a slightly elevated
tone Of voice.
,Lookee herer yelled Thomson, Il asked you
politely what place this was why in thunder don't
you answer 2
'Yu~bs Dam, do you hear that
In an instant Thomson, burning with the wrath
OF The righteous, jumped of his horse and advan-
ced on the stranger with an intention not to be
mistaken. fhe shirt arose and assumed a posture
of ofrense and defense.
Arrived within Il yard Of him, Thomson said'
s ask you Tor the last time, what place is this?
Putting his hand to his mouth, his sopponeLf
roared:
YuNba Dam
In a minu o they were AZ it. kirst Thomson was
down then the SHIT; and then it was a dog laIl that
is, both were down. They rolled about, kicking
upa tremendous dust. They squirmed around to en-
ergetically thaf you'd have thought they had a
dozen legs instead Of four. 1t looked ike a prize
fight between two p~ugilistic centipedeH. Finally
they both rolled off the bank into the river. Tie
water cooled them. They went down together,
but came up separate. and put for the shore
Both reached it at the same time, aud Thomson
up the bank mounted his warlike steed
and made tracks leaving his foe gouging the mud
of one Of bis eyes.
Having left the business portion Of the town
that is 10 say the corner where the bars were kept
he struck a houGSi in the suburbs, before which
little girl Of bout four years was playing.
What place is tins sissy? he asked.
The little girl, frightened at the drowned mt
dgure which The stranger cut, streaked it for Tho
house. Having reached the door, she stopped
turned and squealed-oobee Dam!

heels into his horses ribs-'Good Heav-
