A BROTHERS, DISAPPOINTMENT.

A brother of John Carlo, who was
killed while attempting to stop and rob a
stage near Ward few weeks ago, ar
rived in town Saturday evening, coming
all the way from Champagne county,
Ohio. where the family of the deceased
reside. Both his father and mother are
living and five sisters and four brothers.
The Carlo who has arrived here received
letter written at the dic.ation of the
stage robber few minutes before his
death, saying he was dying Of pneumonia.
The next day the dutiful relative boarded
the train and came with the God speed
of love and family solicitude to cheer the
lonely wanderar in his Western home,
perhaps to lift him from the weary bed
of pain, and take him to the home of his
childhood, and there minister unto him
as only consanguineou5 affection can.
But who can picture the disappointment
OF the young Ohio farmer as he learned
OF the death OF his brother at Palisade
and the cause of it! II was miner from
Ward who broke the news gently to him.
upon inquiry. Said he: carlo, your
brother! Why he's as dead as mackerel.
Shot all to pieces. Got sixteen buckshot
in him. Riddled like an old canvas
that's hung in the wind for years. Wells,
Fargo's messenger shot him, and it is
pity be didn't get the other fellow, who
IS now in Jail over there" The honest
farmer measured his length over and over
again, but on arriving here he soon
learned the truth of the Ward man 8
statement. Mr.. Carlo called at the Re-
publican Office yesterday for more par
ticulars concerning his brothers death.
stating that the nature OF it would fall
heavily upon the ears Of his parents,
brothers and sisters, as the young man
had always been of steady and exemplary
habits at home. Evil communication is
supposed to have influenced him to stray
from the beaten path here.-[ Eureka

MosBY AT THE WHITE HousE. -Among
those who bad interviews with President
Hayes was Colonel Mosby. During the
war President Hayes was at one period
engaged in the campaigns in the Valley
of Virginia, and he and Colonel Mosby
exchanged some jocular remarks on the
hide and seek in which they and their
respective commands had INDUCED. In
conversing on the political situation,
President Hayes remarked that the quss-
ton presented to the country was wheth-
or it was to continue in semi.state of
war or to have peace, and said that he
intended to go in for q vigorous prose-
cution Of peace. Colonel Mosby said to
him that in his belief his policy would
be heartily responded to by the Southern
people; that the ice was beginning to
crack, big thaw was coming, and in the
course Of few weeks. under his beneH.
cent lpolicy, the "Solid South" would
dissolve and break up. President Hayes.

A Safe Wager.

Nor many weeks ago a gentleman en-
gagged apartments at one of our fashiona-
BILE family hotels. In appearance he was
not prepOssessing. he had an unpleasant
manner and an ungainly figure, and pos
Sessed none of those qualities calculated
to recommend one to the gentler sex.
After several days sOjourn he had sue
ceeded in making himself disagreeable to
all those he came in contact with. On
the eleventh day after his arrival middle
aged and young lady entered the hotel
office, and registering their names as
mother and daughter engaged an apart
ment. Their appearance in the dining
room on the morning after their arrival
caused quite sensation among the eli
gible young bachelors, the young lady
proving exceedingly attractive, and be-
fore many days considerable rivalry
sprang up among the young men and
manageable old ones, each endeavoring
to ingratiate himself in the young lady's
affections. She received their attentions
with naughty dignity and GOODNESS which
proved very discouraging to the less de-
termined and faint-hearted males.
Our awkward friend, the first arrival,
was among the candidates for the dam
sells favor. His repeated advancements
and obtrusive remarks to her brought down
on him the justly merited ridicule of all,
especially those interested, and more par
ticularly of one young man who was pos
sessed of considerable wealth and a linn
tied supply of brains. He declared that
the ugly fellows attentions were insult
ing to the fair lady, while the homely
member of the race thought that he was
more acceptable in the young lady's eyes
than any other man in the hotel, and
with taunting boast offered to bet the
rich young man $500 that before twenty
four hours he would be on familiar terms
with the young lady, and would accom-
pany her to the theater. Foolish as
it may seem, the young man took the bet,
and one thousand dollars were placed in
the hands of the hotel clerk. True to his
boast, within the prescribed time theugly
man took the handsome woman to the
Globe Theater. On returning to the ho
tel, the clerk handed him one thousand
dollars. Going upstairs, the lady was
overheard asking, How much was the
stake ~ Zone thousand dollars" he re-
piled. Stupid little husbandr' she
said; "why didn't you double it?'' Next
morning three persons had an early
breakfast at that hotel, and Boston and
Albany was the name of the depot
