STANCE HALLucINATIoS The Nashville
Union and Dispatch has the following
There is a very estimable gentleman living
in the city. who is ninety years of age, and
who is monomaniac on a verv peculiar
point. He prides himself on his clear eve
sight, and is particularly deranged as to the
direction of the State House from his place !;
but, strange to say, the direction in which he
asserts it lies is exactly contrary to its true
locality, while the distance he fixes is equally
extravagant. Recently he offered to bet
friend from the city $4,000 upon the direc-
ton and distance of the Capitol, both of
which he had got at with his eye; but the
friend refused to accept the wager, well
knowing the intirmity of the old gentleman.
y few days since, however, the aged mono
maniac fell in with less scrupulous custom
er, whom he also offered to bet $1,000 on
the distance and direction Of the State
House. The man having only 81 900, the
old gentleman bet that amount with him,
and, as matter Of course, lost the money,
which the winner coolly pocke;ed and still
holds to his possession. We have not the
names Of either Of the parties to this
extraordinary wager, but understand its
result has caused considerable feeling among
the friends of the loser.

THE FURTHEsT NORTH YET.-Capt Sher-
ard Osborn. an English Navigator, states
that in Bafin's Bay, Capt. Wells, of the
steamship Arctic, has been further north in
his ship in open water than any navigator
had previously reached. His affidavit shows
that as early as the Doth of June last, the
Arctic proceeded up Baffin's Bay, crossed
the face of the glacier Of Melville Bav,
steamed away past Cary Isles, Hakluyt Is
land, visited Whale Sound of Baf4in, and the
subsequent scene of DR.. kane's adventures.
Capt. Wells, then, finding open sea went on
till he sighted Kanc's Glacier of Humboldt,
and must, he says, have been in the 10Th
north parallel-considerably north of where
he reached in 1850 in the Pioneer-beyond
Inglefeld in the Prince Albert, and beyond
Zane in the Advance.

A DEMOCRAT THAT "CouLDN'T Ri
SCARED BY A NIGGER."-The Grand Ira
verse (Mich.) Herald says: In one Of tn.
new townships of this county lives a man who
has a small infusion of African blood, moi
enough, however, to debar him from ths
privileges of an elector. In the same town
| lives a Democrat, who felt, on the morning
of election day, that on him rested the awful
| responsibility of preventing this American
citizen of African descent" from polluting
the ballot-box with niger vote.
Going early to the polls, our Democratic
guardian of the purity of the elections kept
"a sharp lookout for the colored voter. As
whom we shall call A., and who was ready for
the emergency, flew iuto a fearful passion.
hastely pulled off his coat, and swore with
the biggest kind of Democratic oaths, that
q no niger should vote in that town that
day without thrashing."
Perhaps" said our African citizen, S.,
"you mean those remarks 20 apply to me-"
Yes, l do" said A., and with bigger
oaths than before he repeated the threat.
well" said S., g suppose | have some
African blood in my veins, but l have no
rebel blood; while | happen to know that
you are rebel, and 50 was your father before
you"
Quick as lightning our irate Democrat
jumped over the stove and made for s.. with
such impetuosity that the spectators supposed
immediate humiliation would be the result
But Democrat was not forgetful, even then,
that discretion is the better part of va,or,"
and stopped just at respectful distance from
s., and tiourishing huge pair of fists, he
swore by all the Democratic saints that " No |
niger could scare him-no, never never!' |
Having sworn to this till ne was almost |
of its truth, he gradually subsidized, |
still keeping his coat off to be ready for
Order being restored S. went to the polls,
vas challenged, took the requisite oath, and
deposited his ballot.
And now" said he, turning to the Demo
rat that couldn't be frightened by mig
ler. ""I have performed the duty for which
came here; and nov tell you, sir, if you
lon't Immediately put on your coat and be-
ave yourself during the rest of the day, Fl
each YOU very quickly how Democrat feels
hat gets thrashed BY a niger"
And reader what do yon think happened
The Democrat that couldn't be scared by a
niger quietly put on his coat, skunk into
corner and kept as quiet as mouse all day

THE DAILY APPEAL.

RECoNsTRUCTING THE PAVILION Tn.
County Commissioners have concluded t.
repair the Pavilion thoroughly enough te
make the large hall available for public meet
ings, ETC., and the north wing appropriate fol
offices. Plans and specifications were yes
terday being drawn and it is the intention
to have the repairs all completed BY the Is,
of July, prox. We hope that while this mat
ter is under contemplation the Commission
ers will expend some little money in the
identifying of the external appearance of the
building which is not handsome at present,
either in form, color or feature. Something
of ornamentation on the roof, the judicious
application of paint and a slight remodelling
of doors, steps, ETC., and the placing of a
base board around the entire building would
combine to make it more comely to look
upon. We understand that the floors are to
be laid double and that the south wing is to
be so arranged as to be capable of being made
part of the main hall. Of course the whole
structure is to DO replastered. The job will
be Jumped and let to the lowest responsible
bidder. When we remember the purpose for
which the Pavilion was originally erected
that of an Agricultural HaIl-we are con-
strained to suggest the propriety of some
action upon the part of our citizens toward
getting up a State, or at least District Fair.
to come of, say in September or October
next. This might be done with profit to the |
agricultural interest and the business of the !
town; and we should like to see the right |
sort Of parties Sc: the ball in motion. More
over, We ought to begin thinking about some
Preparations for employing the renovated
hall fer the purposes Of celebration and

we see if we can't get up handsome affair,

f WILLOW CRREK MINEs.-Frona a letter re-

city, from his business agent in El Dorado City,
Willow Greek District, dated April 18th. we
are permitted to lay the following information
respecting the Willow Greek mines before our
The mining season there promises to be very
poor, in consequence of the scarcity of water.
There is no water, and despite the assurances
OF the ditch owners it is not believed that any
thing like q sufficient quantity of water will be
afforded this year, because there are not the
natural sources to yield the volumes There
is very little snow in the mountains, and the
streams from which the bitches are supplied
have already attained their full flow for the
season.
The miners were to hold meeting, April
18th, to consider the propriety of laying over
their claims until next season, when water may
be furnished in sufficient volume TO proiitably
work them -~xoa--
The first Of John Hailey's line of stages had
arrived at Ei~Dorado City on the evening of
April 18th. Times were dull there, and the
prospect for trade this season is very poor. If
water was to be had it would prove very
lively and good mining district.
