WHAT He KNEW ABOUT THREsHING.
The IUusUUle Press gives an account of
young man from an Eastern city, who
had been visiting rural friends in this
vicinity. After seeing a farmer thresh
out a flooring" of oats the other morn
ing, he asked and received permission to
swing the fail few moments, upon as
suring the agriculturist that he was "per-
fectly familiar with the art of threshing."
EXpectorating upon his hands, the young
man went to the oats, but at the first pass
knocked the horn off from new milch
COW that was leisurcly chewing her cud
in neghboring stall. The second swing
caved in the head of the farmer, who
thought he was safe enough as long as
he roasted on top of the tanning mill in
the other end of the barn, but without
discovering the havoc he was making,
the city artist kept at his labors; the third
blow fell upon the oats, the fourth killed
hen in manger near by, and the fifth
pass Of the deadly weapon was the best
of all, for it came around behind the
young man boomerang fashion, and tax
ing him under the lower jaw knocked
him down, and thus put stop to the
work of slaughter. The mere fact that
the city "thresher" returned to conscious
ness an hour before the farmer did, al
lowed the former to get several miles out
Of town before his efforts at threshing oats
were discovered by the ncighbors.

A Coon JoKE.-Quitc an exciting time
recently occurred at one Of our wharvcs.
The hands on one of our steamers were
engaged in roliag of cask, when to the
CONSERVATION and surprise Of the persons
engaged in performing the operation, II
voice was heard within the cosk:
Roll it easy; those plagucy nails hurt
me. I'd rather pay my passage than
stand all this"
Holding up their hands, their viauals
expanded to the size of two saucers, tho
two laborers exclaimed
"That beats the dickens ~
The mate coming up at this moment
and unaware of the cause of delay, COM
monced cursng them for their diatori-
ness, when from within the cask the voice
came forth;
You're nobody; let me out of this
cask."
Whats thnt?" said the mate.
Why, it's me-" said the voice 81
want to got out. | won't stand this any
longer"
Up-cnd the cas<." said the mate.
son don't! You'll kill me-" said the
voice. "Oh how these nails prick Look
out-don't!" again said the casl<ed-up
individual, as the men were turning it
over.
Cooper" said the mate, "unhoad
that cask and take out that man"
As the udz sundered the hoops, and
the head was coming out, the voice again
broke forth
BE easy now; is there any one about?
| don't want to be caught"
Quite a crowd had gathered around the
scene of action, when a loud cultural
laugh broke forth, which made our hair
stand on end The cask was filed with
bacon.
"What does it mean3" says one.
at beats my time" said the mate.
We enjoyed the joke too well to "bow'
as we walked of arm in arm with ven

of his life; for after all his braggodocia
/ how could he face the crowd below, dis
armed and chased out of the building by
one of the puny boys he had intended so
terribly to chastise? ? But Darrell was
after him, and with one vigorous kick
sent him heels over head down the wooden
stairs with laundering clatter, and roll
ing over the door sill, the defeated bully
actually tumbled out upon the street be-
fore he could recover his equilibrium.
"lIello How's this ? What's up ?"
asked dozen voices Mt once, as the
dreaded man rcappeared in this undigni-
fed shape, without having sent any
corpscs down from the windov.
"Why, l simply kicked him down
stars-thars what's the matter !" re-
spondcd the boyish voice of Darrell Mt
the head of the stairs "and il he comes
up here again | won't let him off So easy.
Don't be afraid of him; took all his
weapons from him."
Wolf struggled to his feet, rubbing his
head, and presenting such ludicrous APP
pearance that he was greeted with loud
jeers and bursts of laughter. So COM
pletely had he tumbled from his lofty
emnence in the eyes of those who either
admired or feared bold murderer, that
they who an hour ago would have dread
ed to offend him by word or look, now
regarded him only with contempt, laugh
ed Mt and dcridcd him.
"IIa, In, ha !" rcsounded from all
sides. Licked by boy! Bah! Kick
ed down stairs by n child Got your
bOrkers took from you Where's them
corpscs lln, ha, IN You ought to be
cggcd out of town ! Three groHns for
J Wolf !" and the three groans were given
with will.
"Thrco cheers for the little boy that
licked him ~ was responded to by three
loud and enthusiastic cheers.
Never before had this rough crowd seen
II man with an established reputation,
like Mr.. Wolf, thus suddenly fall to such
degradation. All his name, fame, pres
tgc, melted away like a mist, and he was
no longer feared, no longer respected by
the low thieves aud cut throats around
him only dcspi,ed. Yes, despiScd by
the mcancst OF creatures, whom he had
mt timos bulied rs though they were
hounds.
How little, how pusllanimous he look
ed, rs he skunk away towards Montgom-
cry street ! Those who had known him
for the last year and regarded him as n
giant now hncicd that he stood barely
five feet six in his boots. The dread that
had surrounded his name had cleared
away like II vapor.
Such was Woll's modification when
he came fully to realize what II pithble
figure be had cat, that he left Snn Fran
cisco and was seen in her streets no more.
The fatality that had apparently thus far
shielded and assisted him in his murder
ous worl, now suddenly deserted him.
He wa, destined never to commit another
murder, but was himself shot dead in
Sacramento within three weeks after the
event narrated.

Haynes, or whether he is still alive, but
know that Darrell, the brave boy whose
GOODNESS and courage saved them both, is
to-day Il gentleman of position, residing

usual interest and no matters were determin-

The report of the Senate committee Oh fl
nance submitted to-day says From re-
view of the several acts relating to [. s.
notes we conclude that the intent and legsl
effect Of these acts, when fairly construed
was to reduce the maximum of legal tender
notes to three hundred and ffty-six millions.
No one appears to have asserted that the Sec
rotary had power to increase that sum. The
care with which maximum was always pre-
scribed indicates the intention of Congress 10
preserve one. The only contingency for an
excess was to temporarily meet temporary
loan by the act Of April 1866.

The committee took a recess of l5 minutes.
After the recess, B. T. Ham was recalled,
and produced three ledgers of the Credit Mo-
bilier, showing the record of the various
shares to Ames, and the transfer Of 80 shares
to Nelson, the name of the latter was written
over on erasure. Didn't know whose name
was erased, whether it was Brooks or not
hut it might have been Brooks on account of
his intimate connection with Nelson.
Thomas C. Durant testifed-Was direct
or of the Union Pacific r. r., till 1869: was
President of the Credit Mobilier Co., and one
of the trustees to whom the Ames contract
was assigned; have certified copies of the
books; signed paper to distribute some of
the stock on hand; the stock was transferred
to witness to enable him to fulfil prior en-
gsgements; didn't know to whom Ames was
to transfer the stock; Ames said that he had
an arrangement to deliver some to Colfax;
thinks that other Congressman were also
mentioned, and it made an impression on his
mind, as he believes that Ames gave the
names, and intended keeping the stock him-
self; never conyersed with Nelson; Brooks
desired some stock, and witness arranged to
let Brooks have 100 shares of Credit Mobil-
Ter with $50, 900 worth of the Union Pacific
stock, and five first mortgage bonds Brooks
being government director didn't want to
hoid the STOCK, and therefore had 1t transfer
red to Mr.. Nelson; knew nothing about the
80 shares of additional stock received By Mr.
Nelson witness being absent from the eoun-
try at the time; the stock increased in value
suddenly; witness let Mr.. Brooks have the
stock in consideration of a promise made to
him; does not remember what amount of
dividends had been declared on the stock
when Mr.. Brooks purchased the stock; he
was entitled to the dividend which had Just
been declared; the Credit Mobilier Co. took
the contract at $4,000 per mile, and was
obliged to take in part payment Union Pacific
stock the first stock was taken from the
road at 80 per cent. and sold to the stocEhold-
ers at Il; witness felt under an obliga ton to
Brooks, having agreed with him that he
should have the stock; had borrowed money
from Brooks, but did not let him have the
stock in consideration Of being under any
money obligation to him. Without finishing
the examination of Dumont the committee
adjourned until tomorrow
