JOSH BILLINGS On HORNS.

Horns, i am astonished tew find *
menny ov them, and SO entirely diff

shuns.
''Cape Horn. Cape Horn is the

It IL q nativ Of the extreme bottom
ov South Amerika, and cores the

Cape Horn is hollow, and axis az
q phunnel for the winds, which hur-
ry thru it in much haste, cauzing
the waters ov the sea for a CRATE
distance tew bekum crazy, which
freightens the vessils that go thare,
and makes them rare and pitch
tremenjus.
This horn don't seem tew be ov
any use, only to make folks 60 out
ov thare way tew get around it.
Horn ov a Dilemma. "-Dilemma
IL derived from the Siamese verb
"diloss," which means tite spot, and
has horn on each end ov it.
Thare IL no choice in these two
horns. If you seize one ov them
the other may perforate you, and if
you don't take either both ov them
may pitch into you.
I always avoid them if possible,
but when possibility gives out, my
rule IL tew shut both eyes and fight
both prongs with my whole grit.
Nine times out ov ten this will
smash a dilemma, and it IL alwaz q
good fite if you get licked the tenth.
You can't argy or reason with the
horn ov a dilemma, the only way il
tew advance in and fte for the gross
amount.

jecshuns, curved, crooked or strate,
worn by the COWS on the apeks of
their heds, for ornament in times ov

Theze horns are a Kind of a fami-
ly record.
At three years old a ring appears
on the bottom ov the horn next to
the he'd, and each year after a fresh
ring IL born.
In this way the COWS know how
old they ore.
Some times theze rings fill up the
whole horn, and grow off into the
adjoining fences in the pasture lot,
but this only happens to very old
COWS.

From the Record Of Yesterday

From the Record Of Yesterday
Last night a young and beautiful
married lady left the hotel where she
has been boarding Of late, on ] street.
and ran towards the river, expressing
her determination to drown herself.
The landlady Of the house pursued
her, and, overtaking her at Front
street, e~ndeavored to persuade her to
return to the house and give up the
idea. but the lady was determined,
and force was necessary to induce her
70 20 back to the hotel. Her husband
soon after arrived, and she became
calm. She was suffering under a tenn
porary fit Of mental alteration.
About halfpast six o'clock last ev-
ening q man fell into the river from
the Dover, near the front Of L street.
and was drowned before assistance
could DO rendered him. A rope was
thrown to him, but he did not appear
to have the strength or presence Of
mind to grasp 1t. A boat was sent out
to him. but just before 1t reached him
he sank for the last time. No one
seemed to know who the man was, or
how he came to fall into the river.
On Saturday tho last detachment OF
che Fourth u s. Artillery, under com.
mand Of Major Stewart, passed through
this city on their way to San Fran.
cisco, from North Carolina. There
were three hundred In all, comprising
sixteen commissioned officers, twenty:
seven laundresses and 257 enlisted
men. Four men deserted at Ogden
| and two at Corinne.

Celestial Punishment.

A most novel mode to punish a per-
son for an alleged crime, says the San
Francisco Alta of Monday, was pur-
sued yesterday by several Chinan,en.
Four Celestials occupied a shanty In
the southern part Of the city, and three
Of them claim that the fourth man was
guilty Of stealing a hundred dollars
belonging to his companions. They
resolved to take the law into their own
hands and punish the person suspected
Of the theft. A plan was devised for
the four to take q walk along Long
Bridge, and q spot selected al which
the one accused Of the larceny was to
be thrown into the bay for refusing to
turn up the money. Yesterday alter
noon the four men went OH Long
Bridge, and when they came to a place
where they supposed no witnesses
were around, the supposed guilty party
WAS pushed overheard. aud the three
others coolly walked Il toward Fourth
street. The cries Of the drowning
Chinamsn were heard by a boatman,
who came to his rescue In time to take
him out Of the water alive. Officer
Devlin was near at hand and was In
formed who the parties were who had
attempted to take his lie by drown
ing. The three Celestials were taken
Into custody, and positively assert that
their companion fell overheard acct
dentally.

Cutting Her Way to Fame.

The woman Mary Montgomery, who
was arrested OH Friday for the murder
Of her paramount, Henry Sanchez, says
the San Francisco Bulletin, has become
quite exultant over her bloody work,
and declares that she will yet earn a
greater name" than Laura d. Fair.
Some weeks previously she made a
similar boast IN the office Of the Pros.
ecuting Attorney, when applying for
4 warrant for some kindred vagabond
who had offended her, remarking that
she was determined to DO a bigger
woman than Laura d. Fair, II she had
to kill every niger In San Francisco.
This aspiring woman now looks for
ward to an Interesting series Of trials,
resulting in ultimate acquittal OH the
ground Of emotional insanity, when
she will demand the return of her lit
tie dagger, enter the lecture field and
edify admiring audiences with the ex-
PLOTS Of a wolf In the black sheep
fold. Meanwhile she has already
called for writing materials, with the
design Of entering upon her literary
labors, and awaits the sympathetic at
tentions Of the "strong-minded" Of
her sex to give ecldt to her touching
drama of real life.

A YNoTTY POINT.

The newspapers and politicians eeh-
orally, throughout the country are
eagerly discussing the curious point
presented in the situation OF the Gree
lev and Brown electors In view OF the
death Of Mr.. Greeley. 1t will, OF
course, make no particular difference
to the Presidential result who they
cast their votes for. but the case is an
interesting one, as it has no precedent,
and Is looked upon to establish one for
future guidance, should such an emer-
gency ever again occur. We. In CON-
mon with most people Of the country,
think it would be a graceful tribute to
tho will Of tho majority, should those
electoral votes be given now to Grant,
making his majority literally unani-
nous, yet as they were never intended
for Grant, but directly the contrary,
this would DO clearly an infringement
and imposition upon the rights and
wishes Of tho voters. In our opinion
the electors have no option in the mat
ter, but must carry out the Intention
Of the voters and cast them as origin
ally intended, regardless Of who Is
dead or not dead. Relative to this In
teresting point, the Democratic Ma
tional Committee has Issued the fol-
lowing:
The National Democratic Committee
do not regard 1t rs within the scope Of
the authority delegated to them to ad-
wise the electors Of the several States
who favored the election Of the candi-
dates nominated at the Baltimore Con-
yention as to the purse which they
shall pursue in view Of the death Of
Horace Greeley. Such an event was
unprovided for by the action Of the
convention. but succeeding conventions
will, without doubt make provision
for a similar contingency, and as no
practical result can follow the estab-
iishment OF a precedent by this COM
mittee, 1t Is deemed inadvisable that
this committee should make any re-
commentator to the electors.

Ir recent adylces are to be credIte

IL recent advices are to be credited,
the Emperor William, Of Germany. Is
taking the most rigorous measures to
stem the tide Of emigration from his
domlnions. He has forbidden the rail-
road companies to offer facilities to
e~migrants, and has placed a police
surveillance over the districts which
are being most rapidly depopulated.
1t appears that the emigration includes
large numbers Of young men anxious
to avoid military service. Unless we
have mistaken the German character,
this sever course will only serve to
make young and enterprising subjects
Of the Empire more anxious to escape
to a land Of freedom and political
equality.
