How 1T WAS DoSE.-There is q good
deal in knowing what man and horse
need for a great emergency-besides
what travellers read on the signs Of
country inns. For Instance: Hank
Blanchard Zone Of Gods best plain
men), entered II horse the other day for
a Jockey purse, at the Virginia race
course, without any expectation what
ever of winning, rs be was a quartz
team horse from Slippery Gulch, and,
like the Yankee tinware peddler's horse,
he had no " points worth looking at
but Hanks horse, last Sunday, ran like
the Yauk's, and like "Cap'n Rice he gin
a huskiu." Bill O'Brien, n rough but
good hearted Italian rs ever lived, told
| Hank Blanchard never to let hat horse
run unless he had I" some coin to expend
to raise a small sized earthquake in his
innards and his musculars." But Hank
thought different. He was just willing
that that horse should have his bottom
dollar bet if he was ridden by any gdilus
rider like Lolita Cleopatra-and the
proposition o opea. Bill O'Brien
knew tha. horse better than Blanchard /;
aud he knew, too, that the horse couldn't
run without rhisky. So, uubeknown to
anybody, Bill sprung II plank on the
side Of the stable shed Mt the race
course, (as he has since declared, pri-
yately, he would not have had the horse
beat for n thousand or even fifty thou
sand dollars, the estimated wealth OF
Hank Blanchard and used up five bot
ties of old Kentucky blue grass whisky
on the Blanchard horse and the appur-
~tenances thereunto pertaining. The
horse got the whisky internally and
externally-and that is the way he won
the race that is the way the thing was
done, and that is what made mems eyes
stare at the opening guIch between the
Blanchard horse and his competitors.
ASSIST WILLIAM NEELy.-William
Nicely, the deaf and dumb miner whose
right arm near the shoulder was so ter
ribly crushed by a cave in the Hale Il
Norcross mine, May 81, that the entire
bone from the shoulder socket nearly to
the elbow had to be removed, has suffi-
| GENTLY recovered to be about the streets.
! He is crippled for life, however, in adj
dition to his natural sad misfortune in
being deaf and dumb, and now appeals
to the kindly feelings of his fellow
miners aad the public generally to assist
him Il little in the ~pecuniary line until
he can get into some situation whereby
he can support himself. Subscription
papers are left ut the Hale 4 Norcross,
| Yellow Jacket and Crown Point Offices,
aud other convenient places, and we
hone his call in his time of need will be
properly responded to. a worthier Oh
ject never existed.
PIrrR's OrERA HousE.-The famous
Irish comedian, Collins, appeared as
usual to an admiring, select and cnthu-
sias,ic audience last evening. The play
was Boucicault's world renowned drama
of the I" Colleen Bawn." Collins rem
di,ion of Myles Ma Coppnleen was Of
course excellent, and Sue Robinson, as
Ely O'Connor, was pleasing, sweet,
correct and effective. Danny Mann, the
hunchback, WAS very acceptably rem
dcred by Beatty, and Willie Edouin was
very amusing rs old Carrigan. The
other characters were generally well
rendered, and the piece passed oil
smoothly and we'll. This evening will
be presented for the first time the COM
.dy entitled " The Nervous Man and the
Man of Nerve" and for m afterpiece
the very amusing farce Of the "lrish
Post" will be given. Collins will sing
a number of his finest songs during the
evening.
HKusrox, HASTINGS 4 Co.-Familiar
"a n household word has the name OF
this well known San Francisco clothing

trees by the roadside mention them, the
walls, posts and watering troughs blnzon
them forth, and poets sing their virtues
in dogrerel rhyme. Houston, Hastings
& Co. are Of the chief institutions OF
the country, aud without them the
clothing world would contain an I'M
comfortable blank. Everybody going
