Sunday night when a young man
drove out of Vicksburg several miles to
pass the evening with the girl of his
choice, he was met at the gate by her
father, who at once proceeded to bust
ness by saying
"Cum to spark Louisa, Ell? 2"
The young man let silence answer the
question.
Expect it'll make match r. con-
tinued the father.
Silence again, while the young man
tied the horse. AS he was ready to go
IL, the father blocked the way, braced
up, and continued
"See here, young man, let's have an
understanding. If we mean hitch tween
now and Jinuary all right, but if we
don't, want you to understand that

don't turn out with cuss !"
AS the young man got through the gate
it is probable that he gave the father
direct and an agreeable answer Vicks-

War Among the Miners.

A recent dispatch from Denver, Col,
says: "They had bloody row at Ros-
tia, a mining camp 40 miles from Den
yer, on yesterday, so or 100 miners, with
pistols and guns, playing lively part.
A week ago party of men acting for
Stuart e. Boyd, bankers, and others, took
possession of tho Pocahontas mine,
owned by Theo. B. Herr, of Chicago.
The procedure was denounced by the
whole community as an outrage, and on
yesterday Maj. Graham, a notorious des-
p>rado, lately released from the Peniten-
tiary, who belonged to the lawless gang
in possession of the mine, shot and seri
Ously wounded a miner. Thirty men
then organized themselves into vigi-
lance committee, and, starting for the
mine, saw Graham coming toward them
with rifle, and shot him, twenty-five
bullets lodging in his body. The work
men in the mine, with Boyd, the banker,
and Topping, the superintendent, ran
into the mountains, pursued by 100 citi-
zens. They were Overtaken and cap
tured, Topping being slightly wounded.
Boyd was given twenty-four hours to
pay off his men, settle up his business,
and leave the country, and at IL o'clock
last night he disappeared. Graham has
just served out term of two years in
the Penitentiary for highway robbery.
He was one of the bravest officers in the
frontier army, but quit the service and
went to gambling. He had been shot
with nine bullets previous to this last
frsilade of lead. He was an educated
man, and the most reckless desperate in
the Rocky Mountains.

Fast Trains.-.What They Accomplish.

Washington correspondence of the
Chicago Tribune "Instead of q gen
eral opposition to the fast trains, the
Postmaster finds general dis
position among railroad managers to CO.
operate with the Department in securing
the promptest possible dispatch of the
mails. The mails that leave New York
on the Pennsylvania road in the morn
ing go through to the Mississippi river
now, without delay at Pittsburg or else
where. The Department is now striving
to make arrangements to have the mails
taken by this train destised for the
South and Southwest go forward imme-
diately on their arrival at Cincinnati,
Louisville, and st. Louis, instead OF
lying over several hours at these points,
but of course time is required to make
these changes. Similar efforts are max
ing to have the mails which are distrib-
uted from Chicago leave that city Inn
mediately on the arrival of the mail
train over the New York Central rail
way"

IF the municipal government of Chi
cago is the foul and corrupt thing the
local papers represent it to be, that city
has certainly fallen upon evil times, and
the people who own the property and
foot the tax-bills are entitled to the
geauine sympathy of the outside world.
The Tribune calls the city government
the "Devil- Fish of Chicago" hkens it
to Victor Hugo's horrible creation of
that name, and appeals piteously to the
honest citizens to free themselves from
its crushing folds by the same method
employed by Galliatt in Kidding himself

The balance-sheet showing the re-
ceipts and expenditures of the Postoffice
Department, for the last fiscal year, is
published. The gross receipts from all
sources, including $650,00 drawn from
the Treasury and paid out in subsidies,
were 80, 1861, 500. 68 and the total expen-
ditures $33, GIL ,309.45, leaving de-
6ciency of 5000, 806.77. The receipts
exceed those for the year ending June
30, 1874, by 81, 964, 934, or by more than
twelve per cent. The expenditures ex-
ceed those of the previous year by ST.
SCI, sol, or by only about four and
.eight-tenths per cent. The deficiency is
81, ,040 less than during the previous
year, the decrease in the deficiency be-
ing more than nineteen and seven-tenths
per cent.
IMMIGRATION for the past year has only
brought us 227, 900 new citizens, taking
no account of the number who have gone
home. This is less than half the annual
arrival, two years ago. The countries
from which we receive rank in the fol-
lowing order Germany, 47,769 En-
gland, 40, 100 Ireland, 1887 Canada,
$4,000; China, 16, 437 ; France, 1881
Russia, 1882. Ireland is the only coun-
try which sends us more females than
males, and the importation of improper
women from China would seem to have
greatly subsidized, if we are to suppose
that the number of women of that ma
tionality is properly reported at 3S2.
The corners from Russia are probably
the Mennonites, and $50 are credited to
Iceland. OF those who have an occupa-
ton, 2, 426 belong to the professions, and
33, 800 to the skilled occupations. There

Two YOUNG Chicago fools, employed
as clerks in a dry goods store, the other
morning conceived the brilliant idea of
clearing the accumulated SCOT out of the
stovepipe by exploding powder in the
stove. They touched off about half a
pound, and after digging the ashes out
of their eyes, they gathered up the frag-
ments of the $50 stove, tried to clean up
the damaged clothing and patch up the
broken windows On figuring up the
results, they concluded on the whole
that rs success their experiment was
a magnificent failure. We should

AN interesting wrestling match took
place recently in Hancock, Ga, between
two old friends aged, each, about so
years, and named, respectively, Hancock
and Dennis. Fifty years before, to a
day, they had regular fight, in which
Dennis had been the victor. Remem-
boring his defeat, Hancock proposed to
wipe out the disgrace of it by friendly
wrestle, feeling confident that this time
he would come off victorious but he
