one of our cltlZeus saw u nus cnicheu III
Mormon wagon and visions of pot pie,
soup, etc., began to fill his mind. So he
effected bargain with the disciple of
BRIGHAM, and purchased the said fowl
for the sum of six bits, cash in hand,
the receipt whereof ought to be ack-
knowledged, and carried off his feathered
biped. After the latter had paid the
debt of nature, an inspection of his in
pards was made preparatory to submit
ting the body to the resources Of culina-
nv science. While the operation of clean
ing was icing performed, an examination
of the pizzard was made and a small
hard substance found, that had certainly
no legitimate authority to be secreted in
a chickens gizzard. On close inspec-
ton and testing by experts the said in
truding substance was found to be
small nugget of gold, worth rs cents.
This was a good bargain for our friend,
having the nugget and the fowl thrown
in. But now comes the conundrum.
Does Mr.. Chicken come of the same style
of institution as the goose that laid the
golden eggs, and was it in the habit of

or was It fatted on gold, or did it pick it
up under the belief that the auriierous
was good fowliferous food. Ii the latter,
it might not be amiss to know where
said fowl, was like fancy bred.
The best of it is the purcha-
ser has no idea where Mr.. Mormon
luxurlates, or where he got Mr.. Chicken.
In fact he knows nothing about it. and
will probably have to content himself
with the shallow placer he found in
chickens gizzard, which, as placers fire.
quently do, soon run out. What pity
it is that that chicken was not allowed to
live and propagate the species if it were
in the habit of having its gizzard lined
with gold. We shouldn't mind having a
whole generation of such fellows.
