SrooY CAPITAL. Little old Miss
Sagely called on us last evening to OBJ
tain an exact opinion, for the sixty
sevnth time, about emigrnting to White
Pine, and we, with the most imperturb-
able complaisance, gave her our ideas
on the subject, and told her Nil we
knew about it, and more too, same as on
former occasions. "Now," says she,
"Tve got some,hin' private TO tell you,
and I know you'll keep it to yourself,
for you're Jest like me and don't go II
blabbin' all you hear. You know that
'ere mackerel-eyed, y~aiiar-haired,
spindly, wriukled old bag, Hiss McShay,
who keeps that ere little two-bunk
lodgin' house down town, md tries to
play herself of for thirty-seven, when
She isn't an hour younger than fifty
the STRAIGHTFORWARD old wretch, she had
the impudence to call me her dear lit
tic mother" the other day, jest to ag-
grayate me, when the Lord knows
| neyer-but jest wait till tell you,
Now, that meddlin' old fool has got
wind that | think of goin' to White
Pine, and eff she amt II tryin' to soak
them ere spoons OF her'n for thirty dol
lars Jest to git put there ahead o me,
YOU can call me n mudhcn. She'd starved
to death long ago and gone to rack and
ruin eff it hadn't a ben for them spoons.
The Lord knows how she come by EN-
in the fust place, but anyhows he's
showed 'em up the spout more.n forty
times since I've knowed her. There's
n dozen big spoons and II dozen tea
Spoons, and q mustard ladle, and a SUI
gar tongs, and the pawnbrokers ana
everybody rs lends money on cullaterils
knows EN- Jest like old acquaiatances.
That ere black velvet cape trimmed
with green bugles what she bought
three years ago jest to catch old Farley
with, and didn't, she bought with
money she spouted them spoons for.
She thought old Farley was rich, and
so he was, but twas all in minln' wild
cats. And that time when she cut up
SIGH u big spludge goiu' II cousinin'
over to PlaceSville, she had to shove up
her spoons to pay her stage fare. She
made me so mad, | could fly, when |
used to see her come primkin' into the
meetin' house Sundays holdin' that big
silver-clasped testament afore her IN
her hands, jest this way, and lookln so
sanctimonious like, when ! knowd rs
we'll as could be, that she had TO borrcr
5000 than, annnns IN nav for II.
Between you and me she Is jest the most
s~tinciest and most meddlesomc creeter
/ ever knowd in my life. And so now
she thinks she'll git of to White Pine
and marry rich out there, does II I
Well, never mind, | know how III hx
her. I'll jest go and tell 'em privately
-con6deutially, you know-that them
spoons is nothin' but base washed met
tie, and only .cost nine dollars in San
Francisco. I'll try and see that she
stays at home and minds her own busl-
ness, and doesn't so to Wife Pine, not
much, the s~windliu', meddlin', mischief

RECKLESS SALE OF CLorHISG.-As
will be seen by reference to advertise
ment in another column, the famous San
Francisco clothing firm of Houston,
Hastings L Co., has dissolved partner
ship, Mr.. Hastings having sold out to
his partners and retired from CONNER
cial life. The business will be con-
Quoted in the same satisfactory manner
as heretofore, by C. C. Hastings 4 Co.
Nh. h.,n a,on mazda rrannnn1puts I'm
extend their business. Meanwhile at
tention is very especially called to the
fact that the entire stock OF goods be-
longing to the old firm Of Houston,
Hastings 4 Co., in order to close the
company accounts has to be forced oil
rs soon as possible Mt prices regardless
of cost. Those visiting San Francisco
from this section would do well to bear
this idea in mind, and the attention
of clothing dealers generally Is called
to it.
