THE EUREKA COLT.

Most of our readers will remember
the celebrated trial which took place
in Justice Gates court here a year
or more since, in which the
paternity of a certain infant was
contested by Alice Culver, a white
woman, on n side, and Mrs.
George (colored) on the other.
The child was finally awarded to the
white woman by the Court, and soon
thereafter it fortunately sickened and
died. Miss Culver, or 1.-THE Colt" as
she was called by the boys, then de-
parted for Tybo, where, it is said, she
married a prOspector, who doubtless
thought he had struck it rich; but the
marital harness, and things in general
in Typo, failed to satisfy her romantic
fancy. and she accordingly drifted over
to Belmont-and still she isnot happy.
A lingering affection for some one OF
her many Eureka admirers may occa-
sionally disturb her equilibrium. The
following accoun of one OF her last
public performances is from the Cou
gier Of the 10Th:
A woman, living on the back street,
o as the Eureka Colt, on Tuesday
last, took something over half an
ounce Of laudanutn, for, as she claims,
to alIay a painful toothacle. When
found, her teeth were clinciied, and
the muscles SO contracted as to cause
frequent twitchings. An emetic was
semi into the woman's stomach as
quick as possible, and as soon as it had
its desired effect her entire system at
once became relaxed and relief was OBJ
tanned. AT the time the woman was
found, DIR. Moore was professionally
engaged in another part of town, but
as Don as possible he reached the suf-
fering wonian and rendered all neces-
sary medical aid. The poor unfortu-
nate creature evinced a willingness to
take anything that would save her
life, apparently having become con
WINGED hat life vas far preferable to
death, and will doubtless, hereafter,
be careful about taking laudanum for
tOothache. The last recount from her,
she had about recovered from the
sbake-up Of a narrow escape from the
jaws of grim Death.

THAT BABY.-For p%ertness, we'll
back our seniors baby against any
specimen OF infantile humanity Of its
age and weight that ever squalled a
note or soiled a napkin. The other
morning its daddy, after cleaning his
teeth at the sink in the office, laid the
brush on a table near by while lie pro-
ceeded to wash his hands and face.
Having finished his ablutionary exer-
cises the old man looked around for
his brush, when-imagins the feelings
of paiernal pride which animated his
throbbin2 breast - he beheld his
hopeful two. year old with one hand
holding up the lip of "Old Archie"
the office dog, and with the other dill
gently scrubbing away with the brush
at his few remaining snags. Our elder
was so eiated AT the wonderful cute
ness OF his first born that he immed
lately presented the brush to All.
