A NosroAY.-Reader, did you ever see

"oou MOI wen, you ouSht u sec
such sight. Or did you ever see u
woman attempt to throw n stone at
COW or dog? No? Well, you ought
to see her attempt it. II is one Of the
funniest sights you ever did see-espe-
cially the throwing part. The fact is, u
woman can't throw anything-except
herself. She couldn't hit barn door
at distance Of ten feet. Anybody who
has ever been in Piper's Opera House,
knows that the stage is large enough to
contain not only barn door, but u barn
itself, and it would seem as though
woman ought to be able to take pretty
good aim and hit somewhere in the di-
rection of the stage when throwing n
bouquet of flowers. But not so /; for
nature did not shape the arm Of wo-
man to sling, to throw, to cast from her
either stone or bouquet. We were
in a theater not long ago, and among
the audience was very fine lady
who had bouquet Of roses,
geraniums, honey suckles, bach
elor's buttons, candy-tufts, verbe-
mas, mint, ETC., etc.-a real duck
of bouquet-just such a one rs would
attract the attention Of the whole audi
ence in its graceful descent upon the
stage for the fair prima donna. Whether
the fragrant and beautiful bouquet had
been intended for this object or not, is
not generally known, but the ecstatie
moment arrived when the bouquet must
act a conspicuous part in that audience
and it did indeed perform such a like
scene as to bring down the, whole
house." The lady, no doubt having all
confidence in her craftsmanship, under
took to throw the fragrant bouquet upon
the stage for the fair Queen OF Song,
giving her right arm the necessary
backward and upward swing, she
brought it forward with tremendous
celebrity, forgetting to let go the flowers
in time, and she missed the stage, but
hit DR.. Piles square on the nose and
between the eyes, to his great conster-
nation and dismay The Doctor sat to
the left Of the lady-and was not only
covered with flowers, but with burning
blushes, as the whole audience was
looking aSd laughing ut his dilemma
and the lady was too much confused
herself to offer an apology. (The Doctor
intends applying to the next Legislature
for tho passage Of an Act to change his
name from Piles to nosegay.)
HAIL | GLORIOUS BANSER.-The BAN
ner Brothers, up in Virginia, as can be
seen by advertisement in another col
umn, fear no live man or combination
of men in the clothing business. They
declare an unf;nching, unending war,
war to the knife against all monopoly.
Their flag is nailed to the mast, and de-
flying all competition they continue to
sell clothing, gents furnishing goods,
boots, shoes, hats, and all that sort Of
thing at lower prices for cash than any
other establishment Of the sort in the
State. Like Grant, they "fght it out
on that line" confident of the liberal
support and encouragement Of the work
ing classes and sensible people gener-
ally.
SSvERg AccIDENr.-At the Fulton
Foundry, on the Divide, about o'clock
this morning, John Harden, one of the
employees, was severely injured by q
large, heavy "fiask," or wooden frame
work, some six feet square, used in cast
ing pan bottoms, falling upon bin.
This flask was standing on edge against
the wall, and accidentally managed to
fall in such manner as to knock Mr..
Harden down beneath it. His right
cheek bone was broken in and he was
severely bruised and strained in the
right hip and spine. DR.. Green being
sent for, came and rendered the requis-
ite surgical attention.
READ THrs.-All We who delight in
the best Of lager, California wines and
liquors, or other varieties Of wines,
liquors, ale, porter, choice cigars, and
all that sort Of thing, will do we'll to go
and assay the Phoenix Saloon, upper
Main street, Gold Hill, nearly opposite
the store of Stern 4 Son. The gentle
manly proprietors, Messrs. klcine L
Tobner, will be happy to meet all who
desire to deal with them. They do a
wholesale as well rs retail business, and
have well founded idea that they can
give satisfaction to all who choose to
call on them. Read their advertisement
in another column.
INPERIAL.-The west drift at the 900
foot level has penetrated nearly $50 feet
from the new shaft. The face is in
quartz and porphyry with no very good
indications Of ore. Having 80 nearly
reached the west wall the chances for
cutting n rich streak are rather slim.
The drift from the winze, fifty feet be-
low the 7O0-foot level, is 10 sixty feet,
and shows no indications that the body
of ore found in the level above extends
down that far. Goodly quantities OF
excellen. pay ore continue to come from
above the 400-foot level. The new shaft
is expected to develop good ore at the
l,l00-foot level when it shall be opened.
