shores of the north western lakes.
My guide was XII Bunce--'Uncle Ki'
the settlers called him-one of those social
nondescripts that hover about the borders OF
civilization, now on one side, now on the
other.
OF course my venatic Deficiencies, and
confusion Of ideas touching the difference be-
tween bass and mud cat, couldn't long escape
the notice Of as keen a sportsman as Uncle
XII, who, though too polite to openly laugh
at my blunders, had trick of choking a
cluckle in cough that came nearly to the
same.
No man likes to be thought fool by anoth-
er, no matter who the other is. So one day
| thought I'd let Uncle X see wasn't such
dolt in all respects, asi he certainly had good
reason to think me to be in some. The French
and Prussian war was the topic selected to
that end.
Waiting for an opening, ! began:
"The French dynasty"

eating house, he had once been deceived
with a fricasee of bull-frogs, of which he had

about the French, " said XII, oil tell it?"
Nothing could suit me better, assured
him.

THE Central Pacific Railroad will have

can receive benefit of millions. Who does
not know that this Company are fast gain

over the State and see what change has
been wrought in the tone of some of the
leading journals. The Sacramento Union
has continued firm and true in its war against
railroad monopolies. 1t is now being de-
nounccd by all the railroad organs in the
State, from one-horse sheets upto the shaky
daiies who receive compensation for services
rendered Politics are indeed small mat

involved in the coming contest. The Union
is terror to the great would-be railroad
monopoly, as everybody knows, and every
body ought TO know that . gigantic effort
will be made to destroy its influence.

In deep-toned voice are singing

From thousand fy-wheels bounding
From a thousand humming looms,
Night az d day the notes are sounding
Through the misty factory rooms.

There's advice in every clink;
Still they're singing-still they're saying
whilst you labor, learn to THINK"
Think what power lies within you
For what triumphs ye gre formed,
If in aid of bone and snew,
Hearts by emulation warmed.
Mighty though ye WOO and cherish,
What shall hold your spirits down?
What shall make your high hopes perish
Why shall We mind Fortunes frown?
Do you wish for profit pleasure ?
Thirst at Learnng's fount to drink

Like the horse, from day to day;
Think! but not alone of giving
Health for pelf or soul for pay!
Think! o, be machines no longer
Like the windmills by the way;

Thought exalts and lghtens labor,
Thought forbids the soul to sink!
Self respect and love for neighbor
Mark the men who work and think!
Think! and let the thoughts now nerve you
Think of men who've gone before
Leaving lustrous names to serve you:
Yours the path they've plodded oer!
Freedom fights and wins her charter,
With the sword of thought-the pen
Tyranny can find no quarter

Power that forms the strongest link

HONE MADE FUN.-We clip the following
description of "Potato Pantomimes" from the
Hearth and Home: potato Pantomimes"
may be as old as the hills, but confess not
to have heard of or seen them until quite
lately. So perhaps you have not. Take a
good sized potato with smooth skin; cut
out nose, eyes and mouth, twist curled horse
hair into the shape of wig and whiskers or
a moustache, and fasten on with pins; then
make hole for the fore6nger to get into;
this gives the head throat. Wrap a bit of
cloth, handkerchief, or what not around
the thumb, and another around the second
finger. Then you have a little man with
hands and arms, capable of bowling nnd
moving his head. Make a screen, let four
or five youngsters be behind, each with their
potato characters, and as they say the words
of the charade, burlesque or tragedy, let
these potato men perform. 1t is capital fun,
and beats Punch and Judy out of the field
Potato men have amiable dispositions They
are generally friendly, fond of shaking hands,
embracing and nodding their heads cordially
at each other They have thoughtful way
of rubbing their foreheads that is very funny.
Sometimes they fight, admit, but they
don't bang each other all the time as Punch
and Judy does. Try them.

A FISH SToRY-The Humboldt Times
fathers this story: "a few days since, some
parties fishing in that bay cast their seine in
school of herring, which was so immense that
the seine was not only quickly filed. but
was so densely packed that they could not
haul it to the shore in the usual manner. and
to get it in at all they had to haul it from
under the fish. Even in doing this several
hundred barrels of herrings were landed.

pie by bayonet power is also denied,
and figures given to show that upon a
fair ballot. Governor Davis received
3,S38 votes and General Hamilton
39, ,O55 and that if the counties haC
been thrown out where DemocratiC
violence prevailed, the majority of
Governor Davis would have bee,
much larger.
The charge that the Legislature had
prolonged its existence year beyond
its legal term is also denied and salts
factorily explained. The assertion OF
the Tribune that the Legislature has
voted away $4,000, 900 to railroads is
also refuted. it is shown that but two
roads have been promised subsidies
the International $5,000,0G0 and the
Texas Pacific and Trans Continental
Sc, ,O00, 900. These subsidies are in the
shape of bonds, and they cannot be
issued until the road is completed. 1t
appears that Governor Davis vetoed
the bill granting subsidy to the last
named road, but his veto was defeat
ed, because thirty out of the thirty.
three Democrats in the Legislature
voted to grant it, and among them
were the three Democratic represen-
tatives from Dallas, whence the no
torious !" thirty 1.-TWO " hail from, who
complain that the Legislgture voted
away $40, 900, 900 to railroads.
To the assertion that the Legisla-
ture has levied q tax of seven mil
lions of dollars on the people of the
State, it is shown that the 'whole
direct tax for State, public school and
county land in fine, for every purpose
whateyer) cannot exceed, at the out
side limit, two dollars and five cents
on the one hundred dollars, and a poll
tax of one dollar"
The tax act makes the following
exemptions: e ~
Household and kitchen furniture
to the value of two hundred and fifty
dollars, all wearing apparel, all me-
chanics' tools, and all articles made
by mechanics while in the manufac-
facturers' hands, the present and the
previous years crop while in the pro-
ducer's hands, all farming utensils,
wagons, ETC., all fowls thus protect
ing a large class of our people from
onerous or ruinous burdens"
The pamphlet shows that the taxa
bic property of Texas is estimated at
$250, 10000 but considers it doubt
full whether taxes can be collected On
more than 100000, 900. It defends;
the public school system, and shows
that its greatest enemies are of thai
class that have addressed Carl Schurz,
complaining of the misgeyernment Of
Texas under Republican rule. The
enabling act, the militia law, tho
State police law, the six-shooter law,
and Governor Davis election order
are all ably defended ON the score OF
protecting the public interest, it being
conclusively shown that these meas
ures were rendered absolutely neees-
sary to repress and keep down thu

of Texas. Without these laws there
was no security for life and property

she's gone to San Andreas, and don't

what makes me mad is that for all

Resignation of Gov. Bullock

Governor Bullock, of Georgia, has
resigned his Office and left the State.
We append the comments of the New
York Times and Tribune upon the
affair:
The Times says: Governor Bullock,
of Georgia, arrived in this city yester-
day. He states that all his official acts
are matters of record, and that Gov
ernor COnley has a detailed statement
of all financial transactions, and that
there is no foundation whatever for
the wild charges that are being made
against him. He states he is ready
for any fair investigation, and intends
soon to return TO Georgia and demand
it, but he is not willing to permit any
arrest at the instance of his political
enemies in Georgia, because his
friends advise him it would result in
his being ku-kluxed by mob, under
the instigation of the men who We're
so near grasping the State Govern
ment, and have been so neatly and
effectually foiled.
The Tribune says: The letter of
Governor Bullock, of Georgia, an
nouncing his resignation, is not very
clear upon the points Oh which the
public desire more light. He says he
resigned because there was a conpir-
acy to impeach and remove him, and
that by resigning he defeated the con-
spiracy. Some people will say that
he gave up his office TO escape i'm
peachment, but Governor Bullock
also says, that, by surrendering his
Office into the hands of Mr.. COnley, he
secured an honest successor.
As we understand the case, Mr..
Conley would have become acting
Governor even if Governor Bullock
had been removed by the eonspira-
tors, and the retiring Governor, ex-
pressly says that no proceedings
against Conley have been suggested.
The whole affair is certainly very
haZy.
