Almost Horse SIesIIng.-Monday
evening, N. G.. Hayward hitched his
team on Marketstreet and wentaway
to transact business. When he return
ed, the team and wagon were gone,
and he leaned that man had driv-
en- the team off few moments before,
towards Melmore. Chase was given
and the fellow overhauled, a short
distance from the city. He was
''badlyp drunk, and seemed to consid-
er that any property within reach vas
his. He should be cautious how he
drinks stealing whisky or it will be
the means of putting him where there
Is not room to drive double teams.

The Memphis and Ell PasO Railroad
SWindle.

A Washington special says: 1t has
recently been reported that 700, 600 acres
out of 5000, 900 acres of land, granted
to the Memphis and Ell Paso Railroad
Company by the State of Texas, were
set apart when the franchise of that
road was transferred to the Texas Pacific
railroad for the purpose of paying off
the bonds disposed of in Paris by Gen.
Fremont. The agent here of the French
bondholders denies that any arrange
ment has been made whereby the bonds
are to be surrendered and the lands
taken in exchange, and says he has au-
thority to and will decline to accept such
a proposition. The lands in Texas, as
is advised by the Land Commissioners
of that State, are not worth at the pres
ent time more than 10 cents per acre,
and TO- 900 acres if sold would bring less
than 800, 900, while there are bonds
outstanding to the amount of five or six
millions of dollars. The agent further
says that the bondholders expect to pro-
cure from the Paris Stock Exchange,
which admitted the bonds to its lists,
the full amount they paid for the bonds,
leaving.t that bodyto recover their money,
if they can, from Gen. Fremont and the
other officers of the Memphis and Ell
Paso road. Suit for this purpose is now
pending before the legal tribunals in
Paris, and a decision is expected within
three weeks.

A lady noticed a boy sprinkling salt

"No it amt" said the boy, somewhat

by degrees changed it all to suit his

for all this trouble.
On the last day, after having some
cold tea out of a pitcher on the corner of

kins, who had brought in a friend to adj
mire his new dwelling, say:
"Well, the carpets are down, the fur
niture is all here, and I think now when
we get our servants, and engage a baker
and milkman, and are rid of the mother
in-law, we shall be ready to move in"

solitary it was. I tried to get up some
spasmodic friendships with my neigh

I only wonder if, considering the love
we women have for our children, young
or old, the world is not apt to be a little
hard upon the mother-in-law.

What is Life?

Life is but deaths vestibule, and our
pilgrimage on earth is but a journey TO
the grave the pulse that preserves our
being, beats our dead march, and the
blood which circulates our life is float
ing it onward to the depth of death.
To-day we see our friends in health /;
tomorrow we hear of their decease. We
clasped the hand of the strong man but
yesterday, and to-day we closed his
eyes. We rode in a chariot of comfort
but an hour age, and in a few more
hours the last black chariot must con-
vey as to the home of all the living.
Stars die, mayhaps /; it is said that CON
fagrations have been seen afar off in
the ether, and astronomers have marked
the funerals of other worlds-the decay
of those mighty orbs that we have i'm
agined set forever In sockets of silver to
glisten as the lamps of eternity. Blessed
be God, there is no place where death Is
not life's brother, where life reigns alone,
and "to live" is not the first syllable
which is to be followed by "to die"
There is a land where death-knells are
never tolled, where winding sheets are
new woven, where graves are never
dug. Blest land beyond the skies. To
reach it we must die.

Chinese Slavery in San Francisco.

Late California papers say There is
a little Chinese girl In San Francisco,
eight years old, whose Hong Kong
mother, about eight months ago, sent
her out to buy something for the house,
when the girl was kidnapped, and taken
on board a vessel bound for San Fran
cisco. There she became a slave, and
on the arrival of the vessel, passed into
the Characterization colony. She was,
according to her statement, constantly
beaten and otherwise shamefully abused.
She at length consulted with another
slave girl in the same house, and the
slave advised her to run away, as no
money had been paid for her; she could
not run away herself, because she cost
her mistress $400. The little girl did
run away, and 500 met a kind Chinaman
to whom she told her story he pitied
her and took her to a nice lady, who
promised to protect her. In a day or
two an advertisement appeared in the
papers, offering 5000 for the lost, strayed
or stolen girl, and her hiding place was
finally traced by some one who was look
ing out for the reward. Preparations
were made to catch her, but the lady
moved her charge to another place of
greater safety. She does not intend to
give the little girl up to her countrymen,
and she (the little girD believes if she
we're to be returned to them she would
be tortured to death and her body ex-
hibited in the Chinese quarter as a
warning to other slaves. The papers
say such things have been done there.

The Presidents Illness.

The illness of President Grant gives
serious alarm to his friends. 1t is an
open secret here that the President is
troubled with a complaint il the kid
neys, which affects him very seriously at
times. Indeed, it is sometimes feared
that he is in the incipient stages of
Bright's disease. He has suffered pain
fully without betraying his sufferings /;
and it is now stated authoritatively that
the effusion of blood and bloated ap-
p%earance of the lace, which have too
frequently been attributed to a less ex-
cusable canse, are due to the periodical
attacks of his complaint, which some
how affects the nerves and blood vessels
of the cerebellum, and gives a congested
appearance to his face. Your CORE
spondent knows several instances, when
very injurious impressions have been
created respecting the President, derived
from the appearance of his face-which
is due entirely to the chronic difficulty
above alluded to. The President is
easier now than he has been; but che
very worst is to be feared when one of
these acute attacks occur Washington

TAKE 1T AS You FIND TT.

1 have a creed, a pleasant creed,
The wise may fling their scorn at;
1t lets me smile at many things
That other folks nave sworn at.
rTis simply this: To love my kind,
With all their faults and chances,
And not to see with others eyes,
Or feel with others fancies.
1 hold this life too short for love,
Too long for idle signing;
Th man who cannot cry's a knave-
Afool, who's always crying.
Through darkest clouds 1 try to see
A CLINT of silver lining,
And think, though tempest may be here,
Somewhere the sun is shining.
The more that cynics snarl and fout,
The less I seem to mind it;
[ make the best of what's about,
And take it as 1 find it
There's woman, now. We run her down.,
On various pretenses-
Dear woman who divides our joys
And trebles our expenses;
Who caused the fall of Man-and Troy,
Well, with our common mother
1OOT Audlu Ida pul hODSOA CuOlCS
Twas Eve-or ne'er another.
Unto my lot a kinder fate
No such restriction %grapples:
For 1 could find a score of wives
Who do not care for apples.
And as for losing Paradise
Owe nought to say for HelenI,
Eve gave enough to every maid
For one true man to well in.
Then tend the flowers, till the land,
Be kind. and she'll be kinder;
Seek out the gold, nor scorn the sand,
And take her as you find her.
There's Friendship, then, and Gratitude,
That ought to be his brother;
Their sire, true Humanity,
And Charity their mother.
The cynic snarls, q The frst's a reed,
That bends when it is leant on,
The others nothing but a bride,
To gain what we are bent on.
We'll, every month is not July,
Nor every king a Nero,
Nor every sanity man a saint,
Nor every chief a hero.
The shadows give the pictures lights,
The lights throw darkness them on;
You cannot have a glass of punch
Without a squeeze of lemon.
And if some hearts are false, old friends,
1 see that Heaven assigned you,
For others sham to make amends,
And a k you as I find you.
Why should 1 hate a fine young man
Because I've not got his inches?
Why should limp along the street
Because your brOiequin pinches?
The charm that's still a charm for me,
For some has lost its power;
Must my hearts goblet yield no sweet
Because they've turned theirs sour?
My sympathy III not deny,
For that's no cynic's mutter;
They surely want to take my faith
And fling it in the gutter.
And just because their jaundiced eyes
Can't see the rose is rosy,
They bid me seek the hemlock tree
To find a summer posy.
No, no, my love, my friend, my rose!
I'll in LIES garland wind thee,
And take thee to my heart of hearts,
And love thee as I find thee.
