There was no better man in the country side.
Sick men were always glad to get him, and
in desperate cases when everybody else was
broken down, Jack was invariably sent for
and kept, because he never broke down.
With this preface, Jack must tell his own
story in his own words:

man? That is a little too hard, Jack"

when he died that they couldn't set up with
the corpse "lwoudn't do for the corpse TO

ham, some cold biscnt, and bottle Of whisky
(what's one bottle Of whiskey to me?) built
up good fire, but forgot to get any wood
to keep it a-going; and there | was alone in
my glory. Archy was laid out on the bed I,

DICK BUsrErD.-The Montgomery cores
pondent Of The Cincinnati Commercial has
the following: Dick Busted is holding his
annual court here, trying whiskey- makers
and Ku-Kux, more whiskey than ku-klux,
however. 1t is rumored that he is for Grant.
The Judge has no very fair name down here
being classed with the omnibus load of car
pet-baggers, headed by the cotton peddler,
Spencer, who are preying npon the vitals
of a stricken State, so to speak.
The Judge tells a good story on himself,
and it pre- y well illustrates the feeling here
among large class. An alarm of fire was
given at the Exchange Hotel, and the guest 8
went out pell, nell, carrying their baggage.
One fellow got out one trunk, and wanted to
leave it in SOMEBODY'S care till lie went for
another Busted was sitting on the curb
stone guarding his own carpet-bag. "Mister, %
said the man with two trunks, approaching
Busted, "will you watch this until so
back and get another?" "Do you know
who amp roared the Judge. "No; who
are you?" 81 am Judge Busted. of the
Federal Court" ooh, Lord = exclaimed
the fellow, as he lugged off bis property 81

A TYPOGRAPHICAL JOKE.

There is published in this city little week
" paper called the South 81. Louis, whose
motto is "No North, no South, but one St.
Louis, and whose mission is to get all the
advertisements it can. 1t is womans en-
terprse, Mrs. Laura Webb being the origin
ator Of TIE concern, ard having recently ta-
ken into partnership Mrs, Bowen, widow Of
Confederate General. The fair Laura is
also widow, and is self possessed, assert
i've, sprightly ,saucy little creature who shakes
her carefully groomed curis deGantly in the
face Of The iyrAnt man, and gives him as
good as he sends in the way Of ''sass." Mrs.
Bowen is Il tall, pleasing and rather retiring
lady, who lets Laura hive her own way
about things, as, indeed, most everybody
finds it cheaper to do so. Early in the can
vass Mrs. Webb announced that she was on
the fence in politics, whereupon city paper
hoped she had had the luck to find a fiat
rail. Shortly after she announced that she
had got of the fence and was solid for Gree
ley, whereupon the same paper alluded to it
as matter of splinters. Mrs. Webb took
the ralery in good part, and seemed TO re-
gard the notoriety as SO much advertising OF
her paper. However, a most abomnable
practical joke was played upon the two la
dies during the fair, which somewhat rutiied
the equanin iiy of the fair Lauras temper.
On d smounting from the fence and espous-
ing the cause Of Greeley, she had caused to
be placed under tho editorial head of the
South 81. Louis the cut of shocking old
hat, with the word "Chappaqua" embazon-
ed on it. " lille she and Mrs. Bowen were
attending to business at the fair, buuonhol-
ing exhibitors, fascinating officials, and sip
ping occasionally champagne with their mas
culine brethren Of the press, dlabolical plot
was hltched. Some unscrupulous wass
prepared the cut Of IL hooped skirt with the
word "Chappaqua' on it, and then after
getting the Dutch foreman drunk they sub
stituted the Chappaqua pettcoat for the
Chappaqua old hat, and sent the edition TO
press. The CONSERVATION of the two estilna-
ole ladies was dreadful to see. For once he
ready-wtted Laura was at ii loss for fitting
words to ropel the attack. The South ST..
Louis was IN unusual demaLd, and al! day
malicious friends were running into the tent
on the fair ground, paper in hand, and de-
mandins to know what it meant aid why
the traditional old hat had been eclipsed by
the pelticoat. 81. Louis Cor. Gin. CoW-

WELCOME TO RIAN,

Drip, drip, drip, falls the rain
The beautiful, 'life-giving rain
1t sparkles in diamonds
On every spray,
1t joins with the brook
And goes ripping away
Through meadow, an valley, and plain.
Till merged i'll the Oceans blue main,
Drip, drip, drip, in the dust,
Comes Nature s beniiicent trust;
Alike on the parson
Returning from church,
Alike on the beggar
Who stands ut the porch,
And asks for morsel of crust,
1t falleth on "just and unjust.
Drip, drip, drip, it comes down,
Rejoicing the country and town;
The farmer sees Ill it
Broad acres of grain
The merchant is silently
Counting his gain;
In nature there is not a frown,
For green is surplanting the brown.
Drip, drip, drip, now it pours
Submerglng all thirgs out of doors,
The cup of the Lilly
Is full to the brlm,
The owl iu the tree-top
Sits sullen and grim,
As it hears the wind Wake; now il scars
In solemn, lugubrious roars.
While drip drip, falls the rain
The joyous, frolicsome rain
1t sports with the diamonds
That hangs on the spray;
1t kisses the stream,
And goes laughing away;
Now hattered, bewiideyed, ana vain,
Coquettipg with all in its train.
Drip, drip, drip: now It's plain.
Conyivial, turbulent rain
Is lost to dccorum;
Borne on 10y the flood,
1t wlltzes III eddies,
1t trails in the mud.
Bedraggied through gutter and drain,
TIL cleaused in the Ocean s pure main.

CoNcERNING COLONEL profuse use
of the title of "Coonel" ecits these pertinent
remarks from the Philadelphia Post:
"lo call man Colonel is to convey the
idea that he is of Il mild, meek and benevo-
lent disposition 1t is also an evidence that
he never was soldier. For instance, we
may recall some of the Co,onels OF Philadel-
pha. There is Col. Forney, Col. Mcclure,
Col. McNIehael, Col Scott, Col. Man, Col.
Fitzgerald, Col. Phillips, Col. Greene ANA
Col. Fritz. Ofwhat regiment? Aud we might
mention many more gentlemen of high stand
ing who have never been in the army, and
can only be called Colonel as tribute to
their antipathy to blood. If every Colonel
was soldier, the standing army in Philadel-
phia would be a menance to our liberties.
Their number is as great as it was in San
Francisco, to which John Phonix bears wit
ness in the following story; The steamboat
was leaving the wharf, and everybody was
taking leave of friends--all but Phunix.
who had no friend to bid him farewell
Ashamed of his loneliness, as the boat sheer
ed of, he called out in loud voice. "Good-
by, Colonel" and, TO bis great delight, every
man on the waf took off his hat and shout

AUBURN PLACER COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, NOVEMBER

Northern hills--,he girl with misty violet
eyes aud sunny hair.
The same who, two days later, looking
over the paper, saw among the list of the
wounded in that terrible battle the name that
was dearer to her than any other,
The same who, five days later, Knocked
at the surgeons Office of that hospital, and
made inquiry for a wounded soldier, whose
description Ben answered precisely.
"Stay moment" said the surgeon, and
produced the little bit Of pasteboard. 81
found it in one of the rooms: your face
brought it to my memory
"Show me where you found this ?"
But what need to proong ny story?
Perhaps every one would not have taken
that great brown hand in theirs and kissed
that pale forehead as little Ella did, when a
moment later, she was ushered into where
Ben was lying.
But she did, and he, great awkward fel-
low that he was, actually cried as she sat
there and told him of his mother, who was
unable to come when they read the news,
and of poor Charlie, sleeping so quietly in
the chrrch-yard at home.
But II was long before he was again the
same great. strong breasted fellow that he
had once been.
But both health and spirits seemed to
come back to him more rapidly after a GER
tain day in the early spring when he and El-
la had gone to see Charles grave, and, sit
ting there 10y the head-stone, she had told
all about the poor fellows death, and of his
little sweetheart away down in the sunny
South, and of the message he lad left her,
to be sent with his picture.
All this she told him sitting there by the
little green mound-and more--for when he
gathered the little hands within his own,
and, looking again into the misty depths OF
the violet eyes, asked her if she could love
such great, old, awkward bear as he was,
she told him yes.
And gathering the weeping form to his
heart, he fel. that he was indeed very rich III
the legacy which bis friend had left him.
