| Mark Twain tells the following: When
| was fourteen / was living with my par
ents, who were very poor and correspond
ingly honest. We had youth living with
us by the name of Jim Wolf, He was an
excellent fellow, seventeen years old, and
very diffident. He and 1 slept together,
and one very bitter winters night cousin
Mary of mine-she is married now and
gone-gave what they called a candy
pulling in those days in the West, and they
took the saucers of hot candy outside the
house into the snow, under q sort of old
bower that came out from the eaves-it was
a sort of an ell then, all covered with vines
to cool this hot candy in the snow, and
they were sitting around there. In the
meantime we were gone to bed /; we were
not invited to attend this party, we were
too young. All these young ladies and
gentlemen assembled there, and Jim and
were in bed. There was about four
inches of snow on the roof of this ell, and
our window looked out into it, and it was
frozen very hard.
a couple of cats were assembled on the
chimney in the middle of this. ell, and
they were growing at fearful rate, and
switching their tails about, and going on,
and we could not sleep at all. Finally Jim
said, ''FOr two cents I'd go and shake them
cats Oft that chimney" so | said, "Of
COURSE you WOulu ,; Nel, he Salu,
"well, / would 1 have mighty good no.
ton to do it )" says / "Of course you have
a great notion to do it," / hoped he might
try it, but | was afraid he would not Fin
ally Il did get his ambition up, and he rails
ed the window and climbed out on the icy
roof, with nothing but his socks and very
short shirt. He went climbing along on
all-f0urs on the roof, toward the chimnen
where the cats were. In the meantime
these young ladies and gentlemen were en-
joying themselves down under the caves,
and when Jim got almost to the chimney
he made pass at the cats, and his heels
flew up and he shot down and crashed
through those vines and lit in the midst of
these ladies and gentlemen, and sat down
in those hot saucers of candy, and there
was a general stampede, of course, and he
came up stairs dropping pieces of china
ware and candy all the way up, and when
he got there-now, anybody in the world
would have gone into profanity, or some
thing calculated to relieve the mind un-
der such circumstances, but he didn't-he
scraped the candy off his legs, nursed his
blisterS a little, and said "I could have
ketched them cats if l handn't slipped.'h

Internal Revenue Matters.

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The President
has reappointed Jos. Nimo, Jr., SuperVls-
ing and Inspector General of steamboats,.
The business in the Cabinet to-day was
merely the regular routine.
On and after July 1st, 1872, every person
who sells or offers for sale manufactured
tobacco, snuff or cigars, except manufac-
turers Of those articles who sell only their
own products at the place of production,
will be required to pay a special tax at the
rate of s. per annum, without regard to
the amount of his annual sales. The eX-
emption of persons whose annual sales do
not exceed 800, is repealed by the new
law.
The Treasury Department, in answer to
numerous inquiries, has decided that on
and after the first day of July next, and
until the first day of October, tea and
coffee produced east of the Cape of Good
Hope and imported into the United States
from places west thereof, will not be
charged with the discriminating duty of
ten per cent. now collected on impOrta-
tions of this character but that, by the
third section of the new tariff law, this
duty will be re-imposed on and after Octo-
Der 1st, 1872, on said articles.

Local Miscellany.

The Market House was again crowded yes
terday morning with all kinds of vegetables and
berries. We think, however, that some would
come down little in their prices they would
leave with more money in their pockets and not
quite so heavy load in their wagons.
Some workmen caught Davy Jackson last
night in the act of appropriating somebody S
chicken. They attempted to convince Davy he

ACCIDENT AT THE QUARRY
Three Men slightly Hurt.

Yesterday afternoon a rumor was current on
the street that a terrible accident had occurred
at the Government quarry, in which three men
were fatally injured, and, as is always the case,
a thousand different storries were afoat, some
even reporting that three men fell from the
custom house and were killed, &c, &c, Gen.
Holman, on learning Of the rumors, sent his son
to the quarry to get the particulars, and from
whom we received them as follows:
There were only six men working in the
quarry at the time, three Of whom were work.
ing at the derricks, while the other three were
on very large rock, which they were prepar-
ing to move, but before being quite ready, the
rock gave way and fell in the river, carryin G
the parties on top with it. The men were not
fatally injured, as Was reported, but
only considerably stunned from the force
of the conclusion, and two of them
had their faces and heads somewhat bruised up.
Our informant says that the two brothers, Miller
! by name, who were most injured, were able to
walk home, about half mile from there, before
! he left, and hoped they would soon be able for
duty again. The General deeply regrets the
accident and the more so as there are always
persons ready to magnify such calamites and
attempt to lay them to carelessneSS on the part
of the managers. This can not, however, be
done in this case, as no one could have foreseen
the cause Of the rock moving prematurely.
The river had washed away quite a cavity un-
der this ledge of rock which had, however,
been filled up with rock so as to make it safe
But water, like fire, when bent on mischief is
not so easily stopped, and it again found its way
under the ledge, washing out more than before
and further back under the rock, thus causing
this rock in an i'll moment to give way.
There were some tools lost by the accident,
but the advantage gained by the removal of
this rock more than compensates for the loss of
the tools. It lays open to easy access some of
the finest of marble.

The Sacramento Record says: "In this
that has declared for Greeley, and that is
the Auburn Stars and Stripes. In Califor-
MIA, moreover, the most Influential DEM
ocratic journals are opposed to the Cincin-
uati nominees, and elsewhere there is
much division of opinion in the Democrat
ic press. We hear great deal about the
progress which the new movement is max
ing, but surely the support of Democratic
papers cannot be regarded as very encour-
aging for Greeley's cause, so long as he Sc
cures no Republican recruits"
