THE MAN THAT SPOKE MEXICAN.
Gen. " ool. the brave and heroic
soldier of Buena Vista, was strict
and rigid disciplinarian as we'll as a
gallant and accomplished officer. The
following good 'un," which Captain
Topin tells as happening in camp,
must have excited the fiery little
General to degree. While sitting
in his marquee, a Mexican was ush-
cred into his presence, whose de-
meanor denoted the Importance Of
some weighty communication which
he wished to deliver.
The General could not speak Span
ish, and his interpreter was sought
in vain. A long specimen of suck
er, who, from the oaare style of his
dress, the General took for a ranger,
happened at that moment to straggle
past.
Come here, my man." called out
the General.
With an air of perfect nonchalance,
the sucker doffed his battered castor
and entered the tent.
"Do you speak Mexican ?" inquired
the General.
Why, General. I rather guess
not.
Well, can you tell me of some
one who does9"
Yes. sir-ee-I jist can, answered
the man.
"Qnick. then, let me know where
he is,,' demanded the irrascible COM
uander.
Why. here" drawled the inlper-
turbable sucker, laying bis hand on
the Mexican, with whom it was de-
sired to communicate, he cam speak
nothing else"
Capt. Topin lett just then.

The Small Boy Of Merced River.

Where the road between Me'ced
and Smelling crosses the Merced rv.
er, that stream is about two hundred
yards in width, and even at this sea-
son of the year, when the water is
quite low, it looks like dangerous
and deep stream tp cross. A few
days since patent medicine agent,
travelling on horseback through that
section, came to the river, and hesi-
tated about attempting to ford it as
he saw the wide expanse of rushing
waters. There isno bridge anywhere
along there, 50 after some indecision
he concluded to swim his horse across.
Spying boy fishing in a small boat
tied to the bank. he said:
Hello. bubl"
Hello, yourself!"
"Can 1 get you to take my clothes
across the river in your boat?"
"I rekin you kin, if you've got any
soap"
"All right, l Il give you a quarter
to take over my clothes and this car
pet sack to the opposite shore"
/ To this the boy nodded assent, the
stranger disrobed, turned over the
carpet-sack and the habiliments to
the juvenile, who padded out into
the stream. and mounted his horse,
prepared to swim the river and en-
Joy the luxury Of bath. With a
splash at every movement the horse
stepped into the stream, and walked
across-the water was nowhere more
than eighteen inches deepl To say
that medicine man, perched on the
back of his horse, was man of In
iquity for the space Of half an hour
would hardly do justice to the occa-
sion. There were enough dams
along the Merced that afternoon to
| supply a hundred mill sites.
