.Io.'-Yesterday afternoon one of the
family. to whose members has so often
beeu applied the expression, "Lo! the
poor Indian" passed down Main street.
he did not, however, bear much resem-
blonce. in his dress, to the traditional Lo
co celebrated in rhyme. His costume,
however, was at least striking, not to say
awe-inspiring Its principal feature was
plug hat.
"a hat that was not all hat;
For part of the rim was gomez
Two other hats he carried in his right
hand, his left swinging at his side with
peculiar swing that seemed to say to all,
Here is a man who has three hats, one
of them plug. Behold, and be dumb
founded" Besides this hat, he was dec
GRATED with red paint, and thus he was
the red man OF the-sagebrush. Serenely
did he march along the middle of the
street till lie espied an unoccupied seat
ON a dry goods box. There he seated
himself in the midst of several honest
miners But despite his noble bearing,
these plebians showed him great disre-
spect. First one of them knocked his
"stovepipe'' down over his eyes. Then
another took it off entirely and punched
it. Finally a third gave it-unkindest
cut of ala kick on the ground. Lo
musingy said: Alas! this token of my
greatness has fallen to the dust, and so,
too, l shall fall like bright exhalation in
the evening, and no man see me more"
He did not, however, say it i'll as many
words. He expressed the sentiment in
that simple and beautiful remark, Ugh"
and walked away to muse within his ST.

miration, of all of which she is truly de-

ALMOST FIRE.-Dr. Bishop related to
us yesterday asingular occurrence, which
came near being a serious matter, not
only to his own interests, but to those of
his neighbors. Some matches were kept
in vase which happened to be some
what broken. A cat jumped upon the |
vase, and one of the animals feet CON- |
ing in contact with the matches they |
were ignired. On the table and near by |
were number of papers and other arti-
cles OF highly infammabe nature, and
but for the timely discovery of the occur
renee destructive confagration would
have been the result, and no one could |
ever have told how it occurred. Matches
serve good purpose, but they will bear
watching.

known to the workmen in the Raymond
