SOMETHING characteristic" eh?
Humphl reckon you mean by that,
Something that happened in our way,
Here at the crossin' of Big Pine Flat
Times aren't now as they used to be,
When gold was flush and the boys were frisky,
And a man would pull out his battery
For anything-may be the price of whisky.
Nothing Of that Sort eh? That's strange
Why / thought you might be diverted,
Hearing how Jones, of Red Rock Range,
Drawed his ''Hint to the Unconverted,"
And saying, "Whar will you have it?'' shot
Cherokee Bob at the last Debatingl
What was the question? forgot
But Jones didn't like Bob's way of stating.
Nothing of that kind, eh? You mean
Something milder? Let's see-Oh, Joe!
Tell to the stranger that little scene
Out of the BABES in the Woods.n You know
''Babes' was the name that VIC gave 'em, sir,
Two lean lads in their teens, and greener
Than even the belt of spruce and fir
Where they built their nest, and each day grew
leaner.
No one knew where they came from. None
Cared to ask if they had mother
Runaway sChOolbOys, maybe. One
Tall and dark as spruce; the other
Blue and gold in the eyes and hair,
Soft and low in his speech, but rarely
Talking with us; and we didn't care
To get at their secret at all unfairly.
For they were so quiet, so sad and shy,
Content to trust each other solely,
That somehow we'd always shut one eye,
And never seem to observe them wholly,
AS they passed to their work. "Twas Worn-out
claim,
And it paid them grub. They could live with.
out it,
For the boys had way of leaving game
In their tent, and forgetting all about it.
Yet no one asked for their secret. Dumb
1t lay in their big eyes heavy hOllOws.
XruG T1nAa arGtn nod of t1nO nGhn
To their tent unaWares, save the bees and
swallows.
So they lived alone. Until one warm night
] was sitting here at the tent-door, so, sir,
When ont of the sunsets rosy light
Up rose the sheriff of Mariposa.
knew at once there was something wrong,
For his hand and his voice shook just little,
And there isn't much you can fetch along
To make the sinews of Jack Hill brittle.
"GO warn the Babes !" he whispered hoarse;
''TelI I'm coming-tO get and scurry,
For I've got story that's bad, and worse,
I've got warrant; confound it, hurry"
Too atel they had seen him cross the hill;
ran to their tent and found them lying
Dead in each others arms, and still!
Claspng the drug they had taken flying.
And there lay their secret cold and bare,
Theirlife, their trial-the old, old storyl
For the sweet blue eyes, and the golden hair,
Was a aOOnodn'S shame and aO0nGn'S glory.
who were they?" Ask no more, or ask
The sun that visits their grave so lightly;
Ask of the whispering reeds, or ask
The mourning crickets that chirrup nightly.
All of their life but it's Love forgot,
Everything tender and soft and mystic,
These are the Babes in the Woods, you've got,
Well-Human Nature-that's characteristic.

THE WEATHER.-The cold weather
having almost entirely subsidized the
streets during the day time are again
being thronged with pedestrians and
men who, having nothing else to do,
lounge about, baSking in the warm
sunshine, engaged in discussing the
leading topics of the day. Many OF
the men are miners, and the general
drift of their converse ion is natural-
ly in regard TO the mines and their
present condition. The condition of
the roads is the universal reason
given that they are o out Of
work, and they are a%nxiously awaiting
the time when the weather becomes
settled, and the difficulties now en-
countered in procuring a sufficient
supply OF coal and the shipment of ore
are removed.

GREATLY EXAGGERATED.

In conversation with several stock
men, yesterday, we infer that the re-
ports circulated in regard to the cattle
dying in great numbers during the
late storm, were greatly exaggerated.
While the storm was the severest that
has visited this portion of the country
for years, the stock. as Il general thing,
seemed to have WithStood its fury. IL
small percentage only perishing. The
heaviest loss we have been informed
OF is that of Daniel Murphy, who has
lost about 0 head on White river,
south of here. The cattle were in Il
poor condition, having but recently
arrived from California, and before
sufficiently r%ecuperated from the ia
tiguc of the trip they were overtaken
by the storm and persisted. From
other localities. though nothing deti-
mite has been received, the general I'M
preston prevails that the greater por-
ten of the stock survived the storm.
At Willow Crock there is but little
snow, no enough to prevent the find
in- of sufficient feed. In the neighbour
hood of Diamond Station. on the ElkO
road, the young stock We're the only
ones suffering in their search for feed.
having sunk into the deep now and
being unable to eNtricate themselves
died from cold and exposure. 1t is 4
matter of congratulation that the re-
ports fist received were exaggerated.
The depletion of the vast herds of
cattle that roam over the range OF
Eastern Nevada would not only have
greatly crippled the stock owners, but
would have had a tendency to place
the market under the control of Il few
men, and high prices for meat inevita-
bly, followed.
