Tam Fleck and Josephus.

Among that considerable part of the popu-
lation who lived down closes and in old
thatched cottages, news circulated at third or
fourth hand, or was merged in conversation
on religious or other tohics. My brother and
/ derived much enjoyment, not to say instruc-
tion, from the singing of old ballads, and the
telling of legendary stories, by kind old fe-
male relative to the wife of decayed trades
man, who dwelt in one of the ancient closes.
At her humble fireside, under the canopy of
huge chimney, while her halfblind and su-
perannuated husband sat doing in chair,
the battle of Corunna and other prevailing
news was strangely mingled with disquisi-
tions on the Jewish wars. The source of this
interesting conversationw was a well-worn COPY
of l. Estrange's translation of "Josephus," a
small folio of date 1720. The envied possess
or of the work was Tam Fleck, Stfichty
chield," as he was considered, who, not par
ticularly steady at his legitimate employment,
struck out sort of profession by going about
in the evenings with his "Josephus," which
he read as the current news; the only light
he had for doing so being usually that impart-
ed by the Pickering blazeof piece of parrot
coal. 1t was his practice not to read more
than from two to three pages at time, inter-
larded with sagacious remarks of his own by
way of foot-notes, and in this way he sustain
ed an extraordinary interest in the narrative.

different households, Tam kept all at the same
point of information, aud wound them up
with a corresponding anxiety as to the issue
of some moving event in Hebrew annals. AL
though in this way he went through course
of ''Josephus.' yearly, the novelty somehow
never seemed to wear off.
"Weel, Tam, what's the news the NIGHT ?''
would old Geordie Murray say, as Tam enter
ed with his "Josephus" under his arm, and
seated himself at the family fireside. 81
Bad news, bad news" replied Tam. ''Ti-
tus has begun to besiege Jurusalem; it's
gaun to be a terrible business !" and then he
opened his budget of intelligence, to which all
paid the most reverential attention. The
protracted and severe famine which was en-
endured by the besieged Jews was theme
which kept several families in state OF ago
ny for week and when Tam In his read
ings came to the final conflict and destruction
of the city by the Roman general, there was
perfect paroxysm of horror. At such seances
NV brother and 1 were delighted listeners.
All honor to the memory of Tam Fleck.-

READY FOR ANYTHING.-A certain doctor
employed by the government at a frontie
post was not remarkable for amiabilty, and
seldom wasted much time In this 'wale''
without row ofsome kind on his hands. A
citizen living about twenty-five miles from
the post requested his assistance upon an in
teresting occasion, and the doctor rode over
to the raneh-a wretched hovel about eight
feet high, flat dirt roof,an united parlor, bed
room and kitchen in one room. The place
breathed poverty from every pore, but the doc
tor had the mild assurance to ask one hun
-.red in specie as his fee. The poor Cracker"
Jent into his hoyel and in short time ap-
peared with twenty-five dollars, whi he
'octor fatty refused in an angry m mn er.
Again the Cracker entered his hous, 4 nd
his weak spouse drew out of stocki wo
or three dollars which she had carefully
boarded for rainy day. This was added to
the sum before offered, but the doctor refused
less than his fee and abused the man in
round terms. The "Cracker" pansed mo-
ment sadly, then again entered the hovel, he
quickly returned with a shot gun and rifle.
An iron determination spread itself over his
features, and, as if he had exhausted every
other honorable means of settlement, he thus
addressed the now alarmed physician: 'Doc-
tor, we haven't nary other cent in the world,
but you kin hey satisfaction! Choose your
weapon" 1t is surmised that the doctor did
not wait for his fee.

Old Scotch Proverbs Applied.

There was much pleasant intercourse
among families at small cost. Scarcely any
gave ceremonious dinners. After tea there
were songs, with perhaps round of Scottish
proverbs-a class of sayings which, from their
agreeable tartness, found scope for exercise in
ordinary transactions, and were more esneci-
ally useful in snubbiug children, and keeping
them in remembrance of their duty, The
PEBBLES people were not behind their neigh
bors in the art of applying these maxims. As,
for example, if fastidious youth presumed to
complain that his porridge was not altogether

THE HIDDEN TREAsURE.-The Pa
cihc Hidden Treasure Company has
been incorporated in San Francisco
with a capital Of thirty millions ~.
Its object Is TO search for concealed
treasure on Cocos Island. This is
the third or fourth experiment Of
this sort. 1t Is said hat the COM
panv Will dispatch a vessel next
week for the Cocos Islands, taking
with them an old woman who pro-
fesses to be the last survivor OF the
party who buried the pirate plumber.
She saws it Is in a cave: that there IS
fully 500. 600. 900 of the treasure.
and that she will be satisfied with all
over $50. O00. 900 for her share. If
she does not turn mp the plant she
will permit them TO hang her at
once, which they have kindly prom
ised to do. There is much anxiety
among the stockholders lest she
should die before reaching the
island. as she is well advanced in
wears. She was taken there once
before by another party. but says
that she got scared and would not
show the hiding place of the plum
der. as she was satisfied the party
meant to rob her of her share. The
shares in the company are divided
into eights, which are sold at S25
each.

Indians camped here for some four
weeks, and only a few days since |
tracked five of my cattle to where
they were killed by the Piutes. The
next morning L got out papers and
we took Breckenridge and four others
to jail. We then got on our horses.
myself, Clarke and Sherman. and
went through their camps with a
search warrant, and found the hides
OF five dltferent-colored cattle. and
knew them to be mine. We took all
the guns We could find at one set of
camps and started for another, when
the Indians fired two shots at US !;
one from Il shotgun, the other from
a rifle or wager. The ball came near
hitting Sherman, and two small shot

still and will try and keep TIL some
thing is done with them. If you
send those arms you speak of in
time to be of any good TO u.s., they
would come very acceptable, as we
are much in need of arms and am.

think we can manage them-we will
try anyway. But We are poorly

NEvADA's SESAToRs.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune writes:
The two Nevada Senators are, of
course, with the Administration.
having SO little of a State that with
out the Administration they could
not have any permanent place of
abode. Nye is al old professional
stump speaker, a good deal of buf-
foOn. given to a sort of half pions
Standardization, and he earns
whatever he gets under the Admins
tration by belittling issues and call
ing the public mind off. This old
gentleman, a native of New York,
represents another stage of Bohemi-
anIom. a little further on than Matt.
Carpenters-Carpenter being now
in the good era of a Bohemian's ca
reer, with money IN his pocket, wine
in the sideboard, recognized bril-
llancy, and fine agreeable assump-
ton E; while Nye, who was originally
more of a man by native cleverness,
occupies the needy position of a
brilliant and sliftless old man APP
preaching the close of his career.
He has accumulated nothing; the
State OF Nevada has gone Democratic;
and, as his term expires on the date
OF the next Inauguration day, he is
cunningly and desperately seeking
without giving otfense to anybody,
to deserve something from the pos
sible reelection Of the President.
His colleague, Stewart, is simply a
mining land and wildcat attorney,
but as much out of place in the Sen
ate as Brown, Of C~alaveras, or the
outcast of Poker Flat.
