Waxing up the Wrong PASSENGER.

One day last week the three card
monte thieves met with lite surprise
ever at Battle Mountain, and from
among the passengers on the West
bound tram who alighted they selected
the wrong one for victim. The story
is thus told by the Virginia Enterprise:
"The other day, at Battle Mountain,
they Ghe monte sharps) allured a
German from the east, who exhibited a
large roll Of greenbacks on the platform
into the spiders net. Then drunken
man was on big spree when the ex
pected victim entered, and was losing
money on every bet. The German
declined TO bet and to get him in the
notion one of cappers gave him a
twenty dollar piece on which to try
his luck He placed it on card and
won. Pocketing the $40 he refused to
bet again, and walked out of the house,
followed by the cappers, who insisted
on getting the money back. The
German drew large-sized revolver
from his pocket and assuming difant
attitude, said:
'sYou speak to me put you so tam
full Of holes you don't know what you
am. l am an old Californian, and
know all about your tam tricks You
take me for an emigrant you make fools
NIT yourselves.
"The three carders discovered that
they had caught Tartar, as they saw
their would be victim board train as
the conductor shouted all aboard and
leave them lamenting.'

AN AUSTRALIAN pEcTIvE's STORY.

81 am a detective in the Victorla
police, and have been one for some
years. was formerly one in Paris,
and was employed as such in the
Hyde Park Exhibition Of 1851. Since
that have been in various parts
the world; in fact there are very few
of the force that haven t knocked about
the world a good deal. However, at
last have settled in Australia, and
hope my rowing is ended. l have
never had but one crach case entrusted
to my care: l have sometimes tracked
thieves from the diggings into the
interior, and found them boundary
riders on stations, or clerks that did
| not keep their accounts straight, and
found them bullock'driving up country,
but these were small affairs; a pair of
bracelets soon settled such; but once l
had matter to find out on the very
slightest information received, which
required all my skill and all the
resources ofmy long experience. Some
four years ago there liveI about a
mile down the river, beyond the
bridge yonder, an oldish man, who was
reported to have made somewhere
good pile.
''He was thorough hermit; seldom
stirred out, except to 60 the store and
buy few necessaries, for which he
always paid, and never was known to
beat down or haggle about the price OF
anything This naturally led to the
surmise that he had plenty of money.
Near him lived another single man in
slab and bark hut; he was shoemaker
by trade, but in small township like
this his customers were but few, and
his livelihood precarious. He was
known to be as poor as his nei ghbor
was supposed to be rich, and was as
much dependent on the forbearance of
his creditors as the other was on his
ready money Between these two
solitary men, living on the river side,
there sprang up strangely intimate
friendship; always after breakfast, very
often through the day, and regularly
at night, they had their pipe together,
sometimes with a pannikin of tea only
at others with glass Of grog. There
was dim mystery hanging over the
supposed rich mans history; where he
had come from, OF how he had made
his money, no one knew, and his
churlisl ways forbede any one to ask
him; he and the shoemaker were all the
world to each other, and beyond that
neither seemed to care anything In
this uniform but curious mode of life,
weeks and months passed away; the
only difference observable being, that
although Mr.. Stevens, the shoemaker,
had no more customers than formerly,
he now seemed to have money always
at command, and not only paid off his
old scores, but had ready money for
all he needed

HOW 70 GET RICH.


before he was twenty-five years old, a
which time he bought farm, paying
for what he had, and then finding tina
he spent too much time in cooking h,
married strong, healthy woman, leav
ing the bayfield, an hour and a half te
have the ceremony performed, wher
he returned to his work, and his wife
went into the kitchen to get dinner
OF course they could not afford :
bridal trip nor anything of the kind
nor could they afford to have children
and they lived forty years blessed witt
health, working al day long, wet o.
dry out doors and in. Churnine
wood saving and shelling corn were
done after dark.
They always had apple sauce and
never wanted butter; silt pork an
swered instead of beef or fish; potatoes
instead Of eggs; and if they thought
they needed doctoring they drank
thoroughwort and catnip tea, and soak
ed their feet in warm water. Of books
they had no need, because they had nc
time to read, though they made out to
read the tracts given them, so that
nothing might be lost They never
attended church, because they had
money which they could worship, and
they could not afford to give to the
poor some day. For quarter of a
century he hauled hay twenty miles to
market, getting IS to $40 ton, all of
which was saved, since he carried his
vlctuals in a round box, and bed
clothes, so that he could sleep in the
wagon.
Ten years ago he was sixty years
old, and he was SO crippled in various
ways with hard work, having varicose
veins and ruptures and some other lit :
tie things, and their farm which had
become the best in the county, was
sold, bringing over $4,000, and this
with their extra stocks made up a value
of over $50, all of which was put
into Government bonds, and then they
were making money faster than ever
He bought a small place of twenty
acres of choice land, which they work
ed to the best advantage, keeping
COWS, hogs and poultry. He is now
seventy. They rise every day at 4
o'clock, when he goes to work, allow
ing himself half an hour at noon, re
turns from work at dark, milks, feeds
the hogs, churns, shells corn, and pur-
sues the even tenor of his way. In
every particular she is his mate, the
house is neat and comfortable, no little
children ever get things out of order,
visitors seldom appear but if they do
the food is extra; almost as good as
they have at home. Now the shadows
are falling, the light of life begins to
glimmer, but they are rich, and why
Should they not be happyl But there
is one drawback. What is to beco me
of their money ?-Ne,o York Tribune.

DON'T STAY AFTER TEN.

1 have just word to say to you
When me you come to see
You know that none in all the world
Is half as dear to me.
IT'S this I would request of you,
That when you come again
To see me in the evening
You won't stay after ten.
For after ten, as moments fly,
tremble DER and DER,
Lest papa's visage should see
Come peeping at the door.
He's there to execute his threat;
He said he'd surely come
If ser you stayed SO late again,
And tell you to go home.
And when down to breakfa st go
Papa will frown at me,
And say, My child, that beau of yours
Is going to hear from me.
This sort of thing 7 will not have,
So, when he comes again
1'll just go down and show him out,
Ii he don't go at ten.''
And so, though your society
Makes heart and soul throb warm,
/ heave a sigh of vast relief
At your retreating form.
You know that you are welcome, aye,
o, best beloved of men!
But many scolding you have caused
By Stavipg after ten

Ax.oidisow, In prospecting around -,n.,

which lies extended along side Of cra .Is,
sore she went In at one end gruntino
and came out At the other eruntinr Th.s
she went back on the outside and wen.

IN the range Of her vision. This time she
iooked around considerably surprised, but
didn't grunt any. She was aiming to Get
into John Goods garden, and with NJ, n. s
porcine philosophy that she could brine II
bear upon the matter she couldn't exactly
comprehend why the second trim di,,nst

other trip resulted precisely as did the two

an expression Of curiosity, mingled with
look Of encouragement. Each entrance
and exit made didn't change the appear

story Of the hog and the hollow log repeat.
ed. This venerable SOW has had great ex.
per'ence in foraging expeditions, and ma.
ny tons OF two-pound bouldcrs have been
bounced from her back by those upon
whomshe raided. She possesses rare wis.
dom, but the fourth and last passage made
through the smoke-stack completely be-
logged her. She emerged with every twist
taken out Of her tail, and each bristle erect
with fear. Again seeing the drugstore,
she gave fog-horn snort, and stampeded
at fearful rate; and after overturning
couple of freight wagons and knocking
out of plumb the corner Of Kingsley's
store, she disappeared before cloud of
dust and has never been seen since.

THE damage sustained by the fires in
the woods has amounted, during the past
few years, to thousands Of dollars, not
counting in the wanton destruction of val.
liable timber. The loss has mostly fallen
upon the gulch miners, in that their former
abundant supply Of water has been greatly
decreased by the destruction Of the trees
and underbrush which protected the snow
from the suns rays, thus preventing its too
rapid disappearance. We are informed
that one mining company has suffered to
the extent of ten thousand dollars by this
means; and where good head of water
once lasted all summer, it now dries up
the first of July. The fire at present rag
ing on the mountain side Is doing i'm.
mense damage, and unless heavy shower
of rain puts it out, there is no telling where
1t will end. The timber and brush which
held the snow ON Grayback Gulch, as well
as fumes, sluices, lumber, ETC., have al.
ready been destroyed. Fortunately no
wind has prevailed to aid it in spreading
more rapidly, and the threatening aspect
of the weather, at this writing, gives token
of rain.

Roor Hoo or DlE-That old SOW will
act tho hog in spite Of all good counsel to
the contrary. The stampede from the
smoke stack took her down 10 the mouth
Of More creek, mt which point, ovcrcom-
ing her supen,i,ious fears, she became
ashamed Of herself and returned. The
rapid locomo,ion hungered her, and wan
dcring listlessly abou, until arriving ut the
residence Of Mr.. Green Holland, she cspied
an open window. Elcvaiing herself on
her hind feet she protrudcd her snout
through the window and prospected. A
sack Of flour stood near. She saw it. and
wanted Il, and took ii out into the alley,
and with the help Of her forefeet pulled
herself outside Of 1t quicker than you
could say scat, Holland said 1t was a mean
man that couldn't give a poor old SOW
morsel 10 eat now and again, and then he
loaded up his old shotgun and stood her
in the corner.
