AN incident is related of the early days Of
Lafayette, Indiana, and one of its first settlers,
how he and the Hon. John Petit played cards
(' seven up y three consecutive days in
the house which the former was moving a
distance of half mile. The arrangement
between the players was, that when Digby
wen the house should 60 forward toward its
destination, but when Petit won it should
go back toward its former location. The
fortunes of the game being in equipoise dur
ng the first day and half, the house, al
though constantly moving, made no progress
but Digby getting the lead about noon of the
second day, kept it till the house reached its
new resting place

Burnt UP SEvERELY.-ln the fast freight
team of Beachey, Wines IL Co.'S Line from
Elllo and due here, were two carboys of acid
and several barrels of whisky. About s
o'clock Sunday night, and when the team
was within 20 miles of this place, sudden
explosion occurred and the wagon was at
once wrapped in flames. The teamster had
time to cut the mules loose, but was unable
10 save the whisky or the wagon. The acid
was being shipped to Jos. Armitage, and to
,his writing it is toss-up among scientists
whether the whisky or the acid was the
cause of the combustion. The loss is not
very heavy, as the freight on this team was
lighter than sual.-W hite Pine Ne,vs

STILL THEY COME.

Thirteen hunGsed more of those leeches in
human form arrived in Sen Francisco on
Tuesday last by the steamer Great RepubIR
direct from China. This is the fruit we are
gathering by the establishment of fratemal
intercourse with that country. During the
past month upwards of 3 200 of these italic-
eyed, opium-eating, thieving race have been
thrown upon a civilized community. The
only benefit we can see by their arrival is
wholly derived by steamship lines, railroads.
and stage lines; further than that they are
like so many rats spread abroad over the
length and breadth of our beautiful State.
Something should and must be DONE Sew
erdl years ago we placed ourselves fairly and
squarely on record against this class of immi-
grafton, and with all the influence we possess,
party or no party, we will ever be found
lighting this, the most detestable race on the
face of Gods earth. Capitalists OF both
political parties are greedy for this kind Of
material for the sake of the Almighty Dol
lar, regardless Of what becomes of our own
people. Continue this emigration at the
same ratio it has poured in upon us lately,
and within Il year we will have an additional
Chinese population of about &C, 600, and we
believe it will be doubled, from the fact that
the Golden State is the great topic among
them in their native land at the present time.

LA GERBER.

The shades of night were falling fast,
AS through our city streets there passed
A YOUTH who bore a mug-nose broken;
Thereon inscribed was the strange token,
La Gerber!
His hat was cock 'd-his eye beneath
Cleaned like turnip on the heath;
And like pewter noon-horn rung,
The accents of that lads thick tongue,
La Gerber!
Before him glares O recess light:
He hunts for gold, the silly wight;
His spectral pockets yielded none,
And from his lips escaped groan:
La Gerber!
4 dnsky barrel meets his eyes,
Which guardless in the midnight lies;
With eager hands he gives bound,
1t sendeth forth a heavenly sound,
La Gerber!
TRY not the tap" an old man said;
The watcn are not as yet in bed;
The lookup cells are deep and wide.
But mournfully that voice replied
La Gerber,
"Oh, don't" q maiden said, ''take care,
Lest Weser's Fritz should catch thee there.
He gently turns his head and spits,
And still that sound his mouth emits,
La Gerber!
Beware the cowhide's dreadful blow
Beware the workhouse, where you'd gop'
This was Dutchman' last good morning,
A voice replid, not needing warning,
La Gerber.
As larks were fishing in the morn,
And dissipators looking lorn:
With songs of praise to Nelly BY,
They We're all startled by the cry,
La Gerbier.
Aud in the gutter, along beside
An empty barrel. with mouth Cpd wide,
Was found IA youth, with mug-nose broken,
Thereon inscribed WAS the strange token,
La Gerber.
There in the morning, cold as clay,
Not dead but very drunk he lay;
And from barrel exhausted quite),
voice fell like a candle light,
La Gerber.

A HIdu OLD SPEECH. Don Piatt thus
describes the terrifying effects of one of old
Zach. Chambers speeches in Congress-:
The vaorous old Senator smote the English
lion on the snout until he quailed. He shook
him by the name until his old bones ratified
He twisted his tail until the vile beast howl
ed with anguish. All the while the American
bald-headed eagle scared and screamed, and
screamed and scared holding aloft forked
lightning and the star-spanged banner. The
concliatory smile passed for once from the
face of the Nice-P President. He sat like Mars,
and his majestic brows, corrugated, resem-
bed vulcanized roof in thunder storm.
Fear settled like an old hen in the diploma ,
gallery, where Mr.. Thomton's first attache
