ACoRK-FLoPrrNa SpEEcu.-At a re-
cent public reunion in this State, where
quite an a~ssemblage Of ladies and gem
tlemen were gathered together par
taking of refreshments, giving toasts,
making speeches, ETC., n public
spirited gent being urgently called
upon, mounted the rostrum and sailed
in to speak an appropriate and express
sive piece. He was little nervous
and agitated, not being used to the
thing, and as he stood holding his hat
behind his coat-tails with Que hand,
every time he bobbed forward In gesti-
culating, his hat would Flip up behind
Mt a Jolly rate. A mischievous friend
In the audience observing this, gather
ed a handful Of champagne corks and
stepping behind him put them In the
hat. IL was right amusing to see those
corks flop up at every jerk OF the hat,
and whom the ladies all laughed there
at, our orator would and
moro excited, thinking they were
highly approaching and applauding
his remarks, and the consequence
would be a fiercer and frequent
Hopping and jerking Of the corks. The
applause got so wild at last that he
concluded they were OVERRIDING the
thing, 80 raising his hat to his head he
Jumped down amid a shower OF corks.
He saw the point, and the corks, and
another pull or so ut the lager key
helped him to enjoy the joke as well as
any OF them.
Our LOCAL RXILRoAD.-The Enter

Truckee Railroad is one Of the crook
eldest and steepest within Uncle Sans
dominions, 1t Is perhaps the busiest.
Not less than fourteen trains roll over
it every day-seven down and the
same number up. Besides these regu-
lar trains, there Is one "wild train"
as it Is designated by the engineers
which chips In whenever there is room
for IL, and 1t runs often enough TO
bring the whole number of trains per
day up to sixteen. All these trains
are as heavy rs the locomotives al
draw ; those going down being loaded
with ore, and the up trains with TIM
bers, wood and lumber. They are
now bringing a very large lot OF lum-
Der to the Mound House station for
the new Eureka mill Of the Union
Mill Company, and another lot OF ex-
ira fine lumber (some 15O,OOO feet TO
the Same point for MIR. Crockett Oh
