HIRING A FIGHTER,

just previous to the Senatorial
contest which resulte d in his election.
the Hon. j. 2. Jones had the follow.
ing funny adventure in this city with
man who came to him to hire out
as "fghter :"
Mr.. Jones and several of his friends
were in one of our first class saloons
slipping their wine, smoking and
chatting, when a rather strange
looking customer entered the place,
and sauntering up to the group, be.
gan the operation of "eying over"
the gentleman compo 'ing it.
He was a middle aged man of
medium height, with arms dispro-
portionately long, great, spreading
hands, and knotty fingers. His un.
gular ungainly form was poorly and
scantily clad, and he was topped out
with curious little bullet head, set
upon very short allowance of neck.
From the sides of his little, round
head stood leaning out two great,
pulpy ears, and all that appeared on
his face in the way of beard was
jet black, stubbed mustache. This
seemed to have been planted a hair
at time, with pegging awl and
hammer, the latter coming down On
the defenseless nose as each bristle
was inserted, and so intimidat
said organ that it had ever since
been crouchsd out of sight by the
hairy stockade. A large, lived scar
described semi. circle round one of
his projecting cheek bones, and pass
ing down, entered the corner of his
mouth, giving to the features an ugly
upward hitch on that side. Wob-
bling his little, glittering, gray eyes
over the party before him until said
orbs rested upon the rotund form
and rosy face of Mr.. Jones, he pull.
ed off the hirsute tenpin ball, which
ne would have called his head, a
scrap of hat, and making an awk.

"That's my name, SIR" said
Jones.
"Correct," sententiously observed
| the strange visitor.
"Do you want to see me ?" said
Jones.
"About three minutes, and in pri-
vate, if you please"
Mr.. Jones led the way to large
private room in tie rear of the sa
loon.
"Mr. Jones, sir, you don't know
me-" said the fellow, "but when you
lived in old Tuolumne 1 war also in
that part of Californey-in the ad-
jinin county. Mr.. Jones, Pm the
'Taranterler of Calavaras Pm a war
hoss of the hills and a fighter, you

said j. F., "but how does your being
war horse ofthe hills concern me ?'
"I'm here to tell you. Here, now,
you are going inte this here contest
and it's liable to be a lively one.
About election day it'll be ALFRED
hot. Now what you'll need will be
good fighter feller to stand up,
knock down and drag out for you a
man who can 60 to the polls and
knock down right and left-wade
through everything !"
Mr.. Jones said he had not thought
it would be necessary to have such
man at the polls on election day.
ooh, but it will !' cried the man
of muscle. "You see you don't know
about them things. I'll manage it
all for you."
$50 you want me to hire you as
my fighter ?"
"Just so |"
"What would be your price from
now till after the election ? You

1T IS DARKEST BEFORE DAY.

just before the daylight cometh,
And before the early dawn,
The darkness of midnight deepens,
Heralding the morn,
Making days approaching splendor,
And her chariot of light,
Take an added ray of glory
BY contrasting shades of night.
So the adage hath descended
In terse and common way,
Be not saddened nor discouraged,
'1t is darkest before day )"
Steady up the faltering footsteps,
Passing through the shades of night,
For beyond the depth of darkness
Are the rays Of morning light.
Think, whenever trials meet you,
Other men have met the same
And whatever hardships greet you,
Give them not too hard name
Take life's sorest ills encouraged.
Looking for brighter way,
For though clouds like night time deepen
ut is darkest before day."
