WAITING FOE THE STAGE.

Yosemite V. LEY Cor LOUSY lie Courier-Journal.
We were all sitting on the veranda tell
ing Jokes and cOnundrums the other
evening while we waited for the evening
stage, whose passengers we al gays view
with interest. Mr.. Winslow told ola Louis
vile editor alittle yarn that was not bad.
In Cincinnati he was met by newsbOys
yelling: Here's your Courier!" "Take
paper, sir?"
eco off? make those papers," he
said, annoyed.
Come along, Bill" sung the boy at
the top of his voice, that's the reason
we can't sell 'em."
Mr.. Stronach told of a story he once
heard of Noble Butler, who was visiting
at a house where he was given a Turkish
pipe called hookah, to smoke. When the
smoke wreaths were curling thick about
the room the professor suddenly pro-
pounded the theory, Why is this pipe
like a COW? ?" The answer he intended
was, because it is a hooker" He was
astOnished to receive the prompt
reply, because there is a calf suck
hight"
Mrs. Tarbox related a witty retort of
Robert Brecinridge, the doctor, to Poin-
dexter, lawyer. Breckenridge, speaking
of his profession, said, mirthfulIy: "You
know the fool of the family is always
made a doctor"
Poindexter, bowling his head in the di-
rection of the doctor, said, pointedly:
eyes; l have never known an exception"
After the laugh had subsidized Breckin-
ridge, bowling in like manner to the law
yer, said, with a slight pointing gesture
in his direction: 81 have"
While the laugh at this sally was con-
vulsing the party l suddenly thought of
a letter Percy had intended to write to a
Miss Poindextor, and asked her abruptly
if she had written.
"No," she said,
"Why not?" persisted.
Because, like the Irishman, | have
changed my place Of residence, and don't
know where a letter might reach her"

will reach or you will soon be cold. In
clothes choose suitable and lasting stuff,
and not tawdry fneries. To be'warm is
the main thing, never mind the looks.
A fool may make money, but it needs a
wise man to spend it. Remember, it is
easier to build two chimneys than to
keep one going. Ifyou give all to back
and board there is nothing left for the
savings bank. Fare hard and work hard
when you are young, and you will have a
chance to rest when you are old.

In a thieving town of Michigan, a
year or two ago, when the country was
full of agents and almost every body was
agent for something or other, a certain
infant Of that town, being blessed by the
advent Of a baby brother, was very
inquiaitive on to where the little stranger
came from. Being informed that DIR.
s-had brought II, he stood In brown
study for mement, when, with the
intelligent look Of one who has solved a
difficult matter, he asked: "say, pa, ia
be the agent for them ?"

VACCINATION is encountering much
opposition in the north of England. A

charge of a penalty for refusing to vac

THE ART OF GETTING RICH.
Philadelphia Ledger,

Look we'll to your spending. No mat
ter what comes in, if more goes out you
will be always poor. The art is not in
making money but in keeping it, Little
expenses, like mice in barn, when they
are many, make great waste. Hair by hair
heads get bald straw by straw the
thatoh goes off the cottage, and drop by
drop the rain GENES into the chamber
A barrel is soon empty if the tap leaks
but drop a minute. When you mean
to save begin with your mouth; many
thieves pass down the red lane. The ale
jug Ia a great waste. In all other things
keep within compass. Never stretch
your legs further than your blankets

This little isolated camp Of ours
still lives, and is Aoprisbipg finely.
Like other camps Of the Basin we
have had our long runs Of water.
Several claims have paid we'll w.Ile
others have barely paid expenses.
A. A. Spain, on SiskiyouI Gulch.
has uncovered acres of bedrock, and
is now preparing to work ground be-
low the Doyle & Dempsey ditch.
Jim Campbell, manager of tho Bid
dy claim, is still using water, piping
several hours q day. ai.
Tew & Burson, on Junction Bar,
are at work piping off top dirt, using
between four and Eve hundred inches
of water. They box sluice the bot
tom gravel, which pays well. They
have stripped enough ground to keep
them busy till late in the fall.
r. w. Spencer is digging ditch to
cover good surface on Gooscberry
Gulch.
w. Schnarr, at the Bend on Grimes,
has piped off ground, upon which
could be built fair sized city, and is
still at work. go
Mr.. Riggs has valuable claims op-
positc Mr.. Schnarr, and has no doubt
done WE'LL
Shanks & Biddy are at work on
their claims at the head of Fall creek,
taking it out by the pound. They will
finish cleaning up about the first of
July, and will then celebrate for
awhile.
Mr.. Eli Lewis has driven here fine
band of fat sheep, which he butchers
ani sells at eight and ten cents. This
seems remarkably low price, He
says he is doing we'll enough and can
afford to sell at the above figures.
Our foot-bridge, built By taxpayers,
has left for Snake via Boise river. I
would advise travellers coming this
way to be we'll supplied with subma-
rine armors, water proofs, gum boots,

From Loon CREEK.-Mr. Jos. Bogs
arrived last Tuesday from Loon creek.
coming through Deaiwood Basin. He
was eight days on the way. and came
down with pack animals after sup
plies. Provisions were scarce out
there, rs no train had got in yet.
Things were in the most prosperous
condition in Lemhi county, and every
body doing we'll. The season has
been splendid ono for mining, all
the streams having been full since
early spring, and water still plenty.
In fact there was too much water.
Tho bridge at the mouti, Of Yankee
Fork had been carried away, and the
Salmon River bridge was in great
danger when Mr.. Bogs left. Snow
fell deeper in the mountains of I4emhi
last winter than has been known for
years. At Loon Creek there were Eve
or six white men and fifteen or twen-
ty Cinnamon engaged in mining; and
at Yankee Fork about eighteen or
twenty white men were at work. Mr..
Boys, who left Wednesday for Boise
