OF nature and wishing he was a fiute
chief, when an ordinary looking chap
came sauntering up street, and stopped
to take a square look at the basement
and rising walls Of Potter's new build
ing. Pretty soon he turned to Pat
and drawled out, "Say, y that goin'
to be a brick house?" Well. yes, l
reckon It Is" replied Pat. "Goin' to
be q store? ?" "Oh yes" "Goin' to
be more'n one room?" "Yes, l think
so." "Goin' to have a cellar to 1t ?"
swell. yes" says Pat. looking at him
rather inquisitively, for he began to
suspect that the fellow was trying to
'.josh" him. Directly he happened to
notice the large main gas pipe being
laid up the street, and soon he had to
ask. Pat what that was for. "Oh!"
saws Pat c~arelessly, "that's the new
water works from Lake Tahoe" just
then the men applied the air pump to
the end of the pipe, In order to prove
another section OF It. "There," says
Pat, "see now, there they are just
starting the pump. Didn't you ever
hear OF these water works before !?
Best thing out, you bet ought to buy
some Of the stock and hold onto 1t.
| It's bound to 90 up" "Whose water
works are these ?" asked the stranger.
ooh! these are Pinschower's great
water works, Pinschower, the celc-
brated engineer" The inquisitive
man gave a sort Of grunt and a snort,
and says lie. musingly, "Pinschower,
Pinschower ; 1t pears to me I've heard
that name BEFORE" With another
snort like a small locomotive, he cast
a sort of side look at the imperturbable
Pat Casey, and away he walked up
the hill as though a new Idea struck
him.
OLD MAN WALToN.-Anybody who
has lived near Dayton, in the Palmyra
region, has known o. heard Of the old
man Walton, who lived at Como for
years after the town and district had
died out and everybody had left. Wal
ton was fully sixty years old. with
plenty Of this life's experience, but
what gave him such an o~verweening,
apparently unreasonable amount Of
faith In the lodges Of that district, no
one could understand. Perhaps the
"spirits" had something to do with
1t, for Walton was a strong Spiritual
1t, but he certainly did live and work
there all alone for years after the place
was abandoned. although he found
nothing In the shape Of rich ore or
bullion product to justify such implicit,
long continued, undying faith. He
left Como last July, induced BY urgent
letters from his home, family and
friends In Illinois, and a faw days ago
we received a letter from him. He
was at Dunton. Cook county, Illinois,
hearty and well, and settling up some
business and property affairs In which
he was interested there. He expected
to realize a snug little amount from II
.'before returning to the Pacific coast"
He sent his best regards to all his old
friends in this section, aud will come
back by and by, perhaps to live and
die In Como.
ATRocIoUs.-The remorseless Jen-
kins I. CHM. In day before yesterdays
Virginia Chronicle, In his Dolly Var
den report Of a little private wedding
anniversary party, gets off the follow
ing: MRS. j. w. Ms was attired
In a modest black silk dress with ruff
fled flounces, ~polonaise Of same mate
| rial, aud a rich black lace cape-the
| whole very becoming to one so plein
| de t~roncons." Now, II that isn't enough
to rutfie q woman's temper, as we'll as
| her flounces, we don't know what Is.
| He cut the most Of that report out of
| an old San Francisco Chronicle, and
| changed ir a little to suit the case, but
| the "pleln de troncons " Is a malicious
| coinage of his own. II he ever calls
our wife that, We'll break his head.
MuLgR's REsrAURANT.-Our worthy
townsman ]. d. Miller, having retired
from the shoemaking business, has
opened a fine new restaurant at his
| old place on Main street, opposite
| Frankel's store, where he will be
happy to receive the liberal patronage
| of his friends and the public In general.
| He proposes running 1t In lrSt-class
style, with all the good things on the
| table which the market will allow OF.
Board by the day or week, meals at
all hours, and terms reasonable. Read
his advertisement in another column
and then try his Inequalities.
ALL Rrarr.-The new steam fire
engine OF Young America Engine Com
pany No. 3, Virginia, Is a perfect sue
cess in every respect. She can throw
two large streams a distance Of up
wards Of 200 feet horizontally, and the
best of it Is that these streams are a
continuous arrangement not depend
ing upon human arms, lungs or hard
working brakes to keep them going.
All the boys need now Is a good supply
of carbolized hose, strong and that
won't break. and when they u to the
next fire with their new machine 1t
will be to some purpose.
RrvIvISa.-It Is hardly necessary
for US to mention that Major Ferrend's
saloon is a great place OF resort for
Gold Killers passing backward and
forward to and from Virginia, or that
the Virginia folks also appreciate that
saloon full as we'll as anybody. Prom.
ineutly situated as 1t IS on South g
street, nearly opposite Wells, Fargo
& Co.'S, 1t Is easily found, and 80 are
the good beverages with which the
bar Is stocked. Louis M~andlebaum,
OF the cigar and tobacco stand, also
keeps the very best in his line.
The PLEASURE GARDEN.-Lots OIL

Pleasure Garden, Virginia, tomorrow
