A PRETTY HoME.-Amnng the
large number of pretty cottages that
have recently been erected In Silver
City, none more nearly come w to
our idea Of beauty and comfort than
the one just finished by our muscular
and sensible friend, Mr.. VI. +. Wy
man, whose new and handsome home
stands near the JUNCTION of First and
High streets, just east of the Plaza.
Mr.. Wyman has seemingly spared no
pains to make it IA model of convent
ence us we'll as architectural beauty,
and we are pleased to note this ster-
ling quality in one of the " bone and
sinew" of Silver City. A man who
well provides for his wife and little
ones, is sure to have treasure here
as well as up above.

A New Way to Get Rid of One Beau
too Many.

He had been eating "watermelyons''
down town, but as they had some
nice looking ones at the house where
he called he thought he would take
one more slice. When his girl press
ed him to have second one, he hes.
itated little, stammered some, but
finally surrounded it. "Do have
some more!" was the pleading So
licitation that overthrow his third
refusal. ~ shall think you don't like
them, honey!'-and with a faint
smile at his cara sposa and sus-
picious glance at the door he ac-
cepted. "They're real good,-but
you see,-darling,-I had some
down town just before 1 came," he
said, as she insisted on his having
"just one more SLICE" There were
little fine wrinkles of despair in his
forehead and under his eyes as he
| slowly ate that "other Slice" and
every now and then his left hand
would slide down in his pants pock-
ct, and his countenance betokened a
painful lack of confidence. But he
got away with it at last, and then he
commenced looking at the front
door and his hat, and muttering
something about an engagement
down town that he had not thought
of. But alas! cruel Fate had marked
him for her own. "O-h--no! honey;
you surely aren't gong Now-and
you've just this mint come in!' said
his unwilling (?) torturer,as the pref
ty lips fixed themselves into a posi-
ton for pouting. The mechanical
"must, my dear" and the deep eX-
preston of true inwardness with
which he replied only served to light
the slumberiDo spark of jealousy that
had been hiding itself so long
in that female heart. "Well,
il you love Miss Blank better than me
-I-I-do-don't ca-ca care, ''sObbed the
little beauty,-''you shan't go until
you help us eat this other water
melon!" and she locked the door,
put the key in her pocket, and slyly
glanced at the big sweat beads chas-
ing each other down the poor fellows
cheeks. Z" h. did do DON'T lock the
d d-door!" almost shrieked the poor
fellow, as he mopped his face with
his coat sleeve, and frantically
clutched at his collar button. al
have g-GoT to Go-oh, ob-dear,"
and his ears got a shade redder. But
she only laughed and handed him
another new slice of the fresh-cut
melon, saying "Just eat ONE more
piece, darling, and I'll let you go!'
There are times in lie when every
thing spiritual seems to fade away
and existence seems purchased at
too high price. There are ev
moments when mothers love is
forgotten, and a sweetheart's abb
ding affection fails to be appreciated.
There are times when the future
looks gloomy, and the past is min
gled with present despair-when pa
tience "peters" out and faith becomes
insolvent in the contemplation OF
speedy ruin. his moment had ar
rived, and as,our friend disappeared
through the 'parlor window hatiess
and caaeless, carrying the window
sash around his neck, like a pig in "A
poke, we took one look ut that little
female impersonatiou of Plutonian
torture, and mentally wondered
what women wouidn't do get rid of
II superiluous beau. That fellow

sus report of Lyon county, just
