A Horse with one Fault.

A lawyer bought horse from travelling
dealer, and after the sale had been effected
the purchaser asked if the animal had any
faults.
Gas l own the horse now, it will not
affect your interest if you state the truth, {"
continued the lawyer.
You've given me a fair price," said the
seller, sand don't mind telling you that
he has one bad fault. He wont enter the
inn-yard at Hicksville."
"Oh, that's no fault at ALL" said the
lawyer, I" it isn't likely that my business
will ever bring mo 10 that town."
A month afterward the lawyer CHANGED
to be passing through Hicksville.
"Now," said he, as the inn came in
sight, "I'n see if that fellow told the tru th
about the horse"
He headed the animal for the yard, and
urged him onward. The horse, instead of
resisting, hurried forward willingly, and
whinnied cheerfully as the owner of the
hotel stepped from the stoop and stroked
his mane.

"here's my horse Billy back again. Where
did you find him?"
/" Find him r. calculated the lawyer,
bought him. The man Of whom / pur-
chased him told me that he could not be
forced to enter this yard"
"You've been sold stranger" said the
inn-keeper. "That horse was stolen from
me four weeks ago, and the thief told
you that yarn to preventyou from travelling
with the horse In this neighborhood.
The lawyer used every argument to re-
tain possession, but without avail. He had
] to give up the horse.

A Scared Clergyman.

They have clergyman in Cleveland who
has introduced very effective met hod of
rousing the members of his congregation
who sleep during sermon time. He takes
up into the pulpit a package of large tor
pedoes, and when he perceives one of the
deacons nodding, he takes aim at the dea-
cons bald head, and in minute the slum
bering saint wakes up with a jump from
dream sabout the battle of Gettysburg.
This was all well enough for while. But
one Of the deacons whose scalp had been
successfully bombarded for four consecu-
tive Sundays, determined to organize re-
sistance. So he went out and bought a
lot of large torpedoes, and before church
he slipped up into the pulpit and placed a
torpedo under each leg of the ministers
arm chair. Presently the pastor entered.
The church was full. He stood moment
and beamed upon the congregation through
his spectacles, and then sat down to select
hymn. He sat down hard-with jerk.
There was an explosions tearing out as
it were beneath the chair, and venerable
divine might have been seen coming sud-
denly down the pulpit stairs with his hair
standing on end. The deacon says that II
this does not cure him, he will Are back at
the clergyman with mountain-howitzer
located in the gallery.

trenchers. The bread thus used soaked up
the gravy, and became quite savory in con-
sequence; and, when the meal was ended
each one ate the plate if he chose; other
wise twas put into the alms-basket, which
was @kays kept ready, and into which all
the leaviugs were gathered, and sent out to
the poor waiting at the gate-the poor
were never forgotten in those old Saxon
households.

A Man Of one Idea.


TT has been our fortune, more than once,
Il to encounter men whose minds SEEM
ed so thoroughly permeated and pervaded
by one idea, that, whatever topic might be
broached in conversation, they would be
strong in their pet notion. We recollect
farmer who may serve as an illustration.
His hobby, strange as it may seem, was
comprised in the plebeian word sausage"
Of these he used annually to manufacture
large quantity, and with an absence of
false shame worthy of all commentator, SO
far from keeping out of sight the stuff
which had aided him to competence, he was
somewhat too forward in obtruding it on
his acquaintances.
Good morning, Mr.. Jones'" said we,
on one occasion. "Fine weather we are
having just now."
eyes" said he earnestly, "capital
weather we are having for making saus-
ages. If things turn out we'll, shall have
hundred pounds to carry to market.
You wouldn't like few, would you?
We hastened to inform him that our
larder was fully supplied, and not feeling
particularly interested in the turn he had
given the subject, endeavored to broach
another topic.
"The Allies find it difficult matter to
take Sebastopol, Mr.. Jones. / suppose you
have read the latest accounts from the seat
of warp
emo"
"The Russians have gained decided
victory. 1t is thought, however, there is
a possibility of the supplies being cut off, so
that the garrison will be compelled, by fear
of starvation, to capitulate."
"You don't say so J" returned Mr.. Jones.
81 wonder he continued. after a pause, his
eyes lighting up with new and brilliant
idea, 81 wonder whether it wouldn't be a
good speculation to send cargo of saus-
ages to Sebastopol? There amt nothing
more wholesome, and if they are in danger
of being starved out they'd be likely to pay
pretty WELL" n
We ventured to suggest that the allied
squadrons would be a trifing obstacle
in the way of this otherwise feasible plan.
The next time we met Mr. Jones, was
after the death of his wife. There was
sorrow in his eye, and black Grape on his
hat. Our sympathies were touched.
"Mr' JONES'" said we, "we have heard
Of your misfortune. 1t is indeed heavy
cross to bear, but you must summon up
all your fortitude." a
" 4 -
our hand, show much. You never can
know. Such treasure as she was" said
he, concealing his face in the folds of his
red bandanna. ~ shall meOer get anybody
That can, make sausages like her-neUer !"
Mr.. Jones seemed over powered by his
grief and walked sadly away. We felt
that we could offer no adequate consolation
to one whose sorrow proceeds from such a
cause, and did not attempt it.

G#- A travelling Yankee lately put up
at country inn, where number of loung-
ers were assembled telling stories. After
sitting some time and attentively listening
to their folly, he suddenly turned and ask

him. They all stared, and curiosity was on

exhausted their patience, when one seri-

"Not a darned cent - he replied.

KILLED ON THE RAILROAD.

As the train due in Crrson from Eir-
glnla at ten O'Clock arrived at or near the
Mexican switch on Saturday, e Spaniarl
by the name of JOS. NJ Alcaraz came
from house near by, toward the track,
and when the train was near to him, fell
or threw himself on the track in front of
the locomotive, and before the train could
be stopped he was struck by the COW
catcher and thrown from the track.
Brakes were whistled down, and the train
stopped, when it was found that the man
was dead. The cow-catcher had struck
him on the head, grinding the skull to
powder and scattering his brains, and
breaking his arms and shoulders,
and lacerating the flesh in horrible
manner. He was taken up and brought
to Carson, and an Inquest held. We
learned from Il son of the deceased. that
his father was siXty-four years old, and
that his mother and fonr children were
living in Dayton We also learned that
Mr.. A. was temperate man, and that
there was neither domestic or financial
trouble, but that for the last four months
deceased had been troubled with a dizzi-
ness at times, which, when it came on.

be. He complained that all things looked

His son thinks this the cause of his
death, and does not believe there was ary
intent to commit suicide, but that the I'M
fortunate man was seized at that time
and place with the dizziness, and fell on

blame can be attached to the employees of
the railroad company, as it was impossi-
bic to stop the train in time to save him. |
The railroad company had him buried at
their own expense, as an act of humanity |
add generosity. The funeral took place |
at three o'clock.
