"BRlNLEY AND 46."-The poem "Brin.
ley and 46" that has been so extensively
copied and read, more because it had
Bret Harte's name at its head, than from
intrinsic merit, has turned out to be a
clever sell. 1t first appeared in the San
Francisco open letter, aud its history is
as follows: One of the editors of that
paper made the assertion that poem
written in the style of any well-kuown
author, no matter how absurd it might
be, would be copied throughout the
length and breadth of the country.
The point being disputed, "Brinley and
46" was written and sent upon its ira.
vels, proving the disputed assertion.
Among the absu-dities of the piece is
the idea of an engineer freezing to death
by the side of blazing fire

A BaITIsH officer, writing from Te-
herau, Persia, to the "London Times
remarks:-A cathartic Pill, manufac
tured by 'an american Chemist (Dr. j;
q. Aver, of Lowell, Mass.,) has cured
the Shah of a liver complaint that threa-
tened his life. This simple fact, as
might be expected, renders the Amori-
cans immensely popular here, while we
English are overlooked. doubtless our
own scholars made the discoveries which
he employs, and thus it is in everything
we do the labor, then the mousing
Americans put their mark upon it aud
take the reward. DR.. Aver is idollzed
by the Court and its retaincrs here,
which will doubtless be reflected to him
on a gold snuffbox, or diamond.hilted
sword, while not the name even Of
Davy, Christison or Brodie--the great
lights by which he shines-is known.

DEAR ADvooATE.--There are some
things in this world l don't like to see.
For instance don't like to see young me o
standing around church door, after
service making sport Of the ladies' or on
the street corners using profane Ian
guage. 1t shows their bringing up. l
do MT like to see young ladies walking
out with cloth CATERS on, when the
mub is over shoe top, such a lady is not
fit for poor mans wife. l don't like
to see ladies and gentlemen hunting
flowers in the woods after rain, am
afraid they might take cold. don't
like to see people 60 to dances every
night and let things go to rack at home,
1t shows def cheney somewhere, ]
don't like to see an editor omit a CON-
m lnication on account of a marriage
notice, it looks as though there was
lack of sense. Now there are things l
do like to see. 1 like to see young men
60 up to a bar and take drink l think
it looks very manly especially when
their fathers were drunkards for they
must have seen how nice their fathers
looked when drunk. I like to see
church members keep, sober faces in
church and when they go home, curse
and swear as much as they please, it
looks SO religious and pious.

history of the oil trade, for the same

SCIENTIFIC SHooTINa.--The War
ren Mail says: Last week we recorded
the result of a shooting match at James
town, June Sd, between the champion
shot of New York, G.. w. Fowler, and
Horace Warner Of Ridgway. They
shot four strings of 10 shots each at
40 rods, 500 string and 500 for
the general average, at rest. Warner
used rife of his own make, and Fowler
used one of Billinghurst's. Fowler
won as will be seen by the following
strings:
Fowler-1st string, 133 inches; I'd,
l3B; Sd, 128; 4th, 104; general
average, 80 inches; average for each
shot, 1t.
Warner-lst string, 15s inches, 2d,
l9!; Sd, l4S; 4th, l3B; general average
62s inches; average for each shot, a
trifle over l ] inches.
Their style of shooting may be very
scientific, but what would Robert
Miles, or Orren Hook Of Zack Eddy or
Dave Martin or Kim Russell or other
old time crack shots say to the nonsense
of screwiug your rifle in wise and call
ing it shooting match? Why we
once made II inch string 10 shots at
20 rods with rifle belonging to one OF
Berdan's sharp shooters in 1861. He
was from Ridgway and we are not sure
but it was Warner himself, we forget
the name; and we had none Of your
wise rests or little flags and didn't bra.
about it either. The jamestown Jour-
nal describes their "new tangled no.
tions" thus:
To a novice their style of shooting
seemed little peculiar and unscientifc,
but VIC are assured that this method re-
quires much more judgment and skill
than the old "otf hand" way and glanc-
ing through the sights at each shot.
Mr.. Fowler's gun was placed on a sort
of a stand like wise, that permitted it to
move only backward and forward, to
allow for the recoil. Between the rest
and target were placed at intervals small
flags, to indicate the force and direction
of the wind. The marksman securing
time when both wind and light are ia
vorable glances through the sights and
by one or two trials gets his gun per-
fectly aimed, and secures it in that posi-
ton. Then his whole attention and
skill is directed towards the flags, firing
whenever an opportunity presents. 1t
was here that Fowler had the advantage
Of Warner, for though the latter had his
gun on some such stand, be was
obliged to place his eye to the .sighs
each time before firing. Both contest
nnts departed for their homes this
morning. The match was a very ex-
citing one to those present and many
are expressing the wish that the two
will meet again when Mr.. Warner is
better prepared.
