A CALIFORNIA PRACTIoAL JOKE Cali
fOrnia paper relates the following. 1t is a Gu
riOus specimen Of the sort OF jokes rellshed in
that region:
about two weeks since a gentleman Of
WatsOnville, who is noted as practical joker,
went to the GirOy Hot Springs situated about
fifteen miles from Gilroy. After remaining
few days he got aboard the stage to return to
Giroy, having an outside seat. The stage had
not proceeded more than five miles when tones
Of distress were heard proceeding from within.
The driver hauled up, when Mrs. -. who
was a passenger, and who had made herself
rather obnoxious to the visitors at the Springs
by certain airy ways informed the driver that
she must have an outside seat, as she was getting
sick. Our Watsonville friend gave up his seat
to the lady As he was getting inside, the
lady informed him that she had two bottles OF
spring water on the seat she had just lett,
which she was taking to her husband in San
Francisco, and begged s. to take good care
of them. All right, said S; and away
went the stage again.

cur bottle of whisky, and, taking the corks
from the bottles containing the spring water,
poured half of the water from each bottle, and
! filled them up again with whisky, while the
passengers were convulsed with laughter. 10
due time the following letter was received by
the proprietors of the Springs from the lady S

Years came and went. The little chestnut
girl passed as entirely out of Ralph MoOre's
memory as If her pleading eyes had never
touched the soft spot in his heart, but Mary Lee
never forgot the stranger who had given her
the silver piece.

drawn to shut out the storm and tempest of the
black December night-the fire was glowing

china, and polished silver only waiting for the
presence of Mr.. Audley.

"Please sir, will you buy my chesnuts?"
"Chesnuts? No' returned Ralph Moore,
looking carelessly down on the upturned face,
whose large brown eyes, shadowed by tangled
curls of faxen hair, were appealing so pitifully
to his own, what do | want with the ches-

He did not stay to hear the delighted incohe-

rainbow of smiles and tears, but strobe his way,

Mark Twain's Idea Of a Good Letter.

In speaking of letters he received from home
whilst in California, Mark Twain says:
The most useful and interesting letters we
get here from home are from children seven
or eight years old. This is petrifed truth
Happily they have got nothing else to talk
about but home and neighbOrs and family
things their betters think unworthy of trans
mitting thousands Of miles, They write simp-
" and naturally. and without strain for effect
They tell all that they know and then stop
They seldom deal in distractions or homilies
Consequently their epstles are brief, but,
treating as they do of familiar scenes and per
sons, they always entertain. Now, therefore,
if you would learn the art of letter-writing let
child teach you. | have preserved a letter
from little girl eight years of age-preserved
it as a curiosity, because it was the only letter
ever got from the States that had any infor-
nation in it. It runs thus:
