A Lucky Resolve.

In 1868 party Of Minnsso-
tians, among whom were a few
old California miners, were
journeying across the northern
part Of Montana, prospecting
here and there, and finally camp
/ ed at the present site of Helena,
rather disgusted with their luck
and cursing the country gener-
ally. They had prospected at
several points in the gulch whero
the town now stands, and though
finding cOlors almost every
where, were not satisfied with
their luck. They determined to
90 on south to the new Bannack
Diggins, about one hundred and
fifty miles further up toward
the head of the Missouri, and
were preparing for the start,
when one Of the Californians.
who had taken a fancy to tho
locality, and thought from gen.
eral appearances that it ought
TO be rich, concluded to try at
one more spot, and, taking bis
shovel, pick and pan, selected a
spot apparently favorable, and
remarked:
''Well, boys, we'll try for a
little here; here's for the last
chance"
They dug a few feet and
struck it rich, and within three
years the gulch had yielded $8,-
100000 in gold.-Miners' Re

for their wool and mutton. Think

-
for their wool and mutton. Think
of it! What a fine wave of
wealth is rolling into their, lap.
On an average the farmeks of
every county of Ohio receive
over one hundred thousand dol
lars cash annually for their sur
plus wool and mutton. For a
sheep is both food and cloth
ing. [ wish some of the ad-
vocates of dog culture had to
live and clothe themselves upon
dog products for a week. They
would soon be willing to ex-
change for wool and mutton.
Now if Tennessee would pro-
duce only ten per cent. of the
wool and mutton that Ohio pro-
duces, the reviving effects would
be instantly apparent. But be-
fore that can be done the dogs
must be in part got rid of. No
body should object to paying
one dollar tax upon a good dog,
in order to rid the State of the
tens Of thousands of worthless,
sheep-destroying ours, which
are a blight upon industry, a
hindrance to immigration, and
a tax upon labor.
l have been often applied to
by those who wish to engage in
sheep husbandry in Tennessee,
if [ thought the law would be
repealed. [ say to such, wait
and see. If it is, all thought
of that business in this State
must be abandoned. A gentle
man in Ohio writes me that in
very many instances the sons
of farmers there, skillful sheep
raisers, want to come South, en-
ticed by the mild winters and
high price which Tennessee
wool commands. They can win
ter sheep here at one-fifth of
the cost there. But all idea of
successful sheep husbandry in
Tennessee must be abandoned
if this law is repealed. A State,
very many Of the counties of
which were shown, when the
law went into effect, to have
more dogs than voters, is not a
cheerful place to engage in sheep
raising.

The Ten Per Cent. Law.

In speaking of this law the
Nashville Legal Reporter says
1t may with reason be affirmed
that the working Of the ten per
cent. law is not seriously object
ionable, were they confined strict
ly to borrowing money. The
trouble among the people seems to
be that merchants and traders gen
orally have notes printed in blant ;
with ten per cent. interest from
date, and almost in every instance
in settling accounts in stores, banks,
etc, these blanks are filed up and
showed under the noses of debtors
to sign; this has been done almost
invariably in the plenitude ofigno
rance Of the final effect. Not on
ly this, but in settling all accounts
in the store the debtor is charged
ten per cent. interest, and is tod
th6s IS the lo1U. So that the Gus.
toner is being severely bled by
extra charges for credit, and a
mountain ofinterest, added. This
appears to be the principal cause
of the clamor for its repeal.

Exemplary Damages.
Judge Treat Exercises tho Dis

cretiOn OF the Court to Make q
Verdict More Binding.
On the Goth of November
1875, James McAuly, an old
man residing in Franklin coun-
ty, No, near a station of the
Atlantic and Pacific railroad,
purchased a trip-ticket to St.
Louis and return. The ticket
covered five days. He returned
home on the 3rd of December,
within the allotted time, and
presented his ticket to a con-
ductor of the Atlantic and Pa
cific train beyond Franklin.
The conductor refused to ac-
cept it upon the ground that
the time had expired and de-
manded twenty-five cents, the
fare. The old man remonstra-
ted, but the conductor said he
must either pay or get off the
train. The passenger attempt
ed further to explain that the
conductor must be mistaken,
but it was of no avail, the train
stopped and the conductor Iu.
the old man off. This occurred
at a point about three miles
from his home, and was COM
PEELED to walk the whole dis
tance, having also to cross
railroad bridge.
The matter came up yester-
day in the United States circuit
court upon a report of the mas
ter i'll chancery IN reference to
the passengers interviewing Pc
tition. The master explained
in his report that the mistake
arose on the part Of the con-
ductor, who looked at the tick
ct upside down and took a "9'
for a So" The petitioner is
sixty-eight years Of age, a day
laborer, and at the time was in
an enfeebled condition. 1t was
shown that he had to cross the
railroad bridge on nanarrowplank
and thereby incurred great dan-
ger. Nevertheless the master
did not consider it a case for
exemplary damages and recon-
mend to the court an allowance
of $50 in the shape of damages.
Judge Treat took a very diff
ferent view of it and gave dam
ges in the sum of $500. He
remarked that railway compa-
nies must learn that the public
interests cannot suffer 10y the
blunders and stupidity of their
agents and employees. This
system of putting persons off
trains was a very dangerous
one, and it was a very danger
Gus power to place in the hands
of conductors.

Surprlsers SURPRISED.

AS Charles Mules and his wife
were in their home, lis North
Pine street, Tuesday evening, the
door was opened in answer to a
knock; when in rushed pell NELL
twenty masqueraders in the most
grotesque and horrible costumes
possible to imagine. Mrs Mules
was seated with child upon her
lap. The little one becoming
frightened screamed, and the
mother, who recognized among
the masqueraders many of her
most intimate friends, male aud
female, vainly endeavored to qui-
ct it. Mr.. Mules OWNS an enor-
nous Newfoundland dog, which
at once bounded up stairs and
made an attack upon the intru.
ders. There is no record Of any
former panic where the means Of
egress were taken advantage OF
more quickly than on this occa,
sion. In two and three quarters
seconds the house was clear, and
Pine street for two blocks either
way was filled with flying figures
of every description. A devil slip
ped on the ice as harlequin ran
over him, followed by a clown.
A negro crawled on his hands and
knees under the steps ofan adjoin-
ing direction. Mules says that
if they ever get that party togeth-
er again he will be glad to see
them, and will chain up the

A menagerie was sold at auc-
tion in San Francisco ten days ago.
A laughing hyena brought $5, and
a big elephant Sd, 900. The auc-
tioneer made a great hit with the
parrot. Now, gents, here is one
of the finest parrots on the Amer
lean continent, swears like a Bar
barry coast pirate, knows the whole
of the Testament, and can sing
the trall.loo like Jenny Lind--how

the crowd; just the thing 'or the
children, monty two bits bid"
Here he stopped to take a breath
and looked reproachtully upon
the crowd. The accomplished bird
was finally knocked down to a
preacher who came in just in time
to hear that the parrot could sing
all of Watts hymns. The old gen.
tleman started out highly elated
with his prize; but when the dis
reputable bird told him to pull
down his vest and go to-not to
heaven--he went back to the auc-
iioneer and wanted to swap for a
camel or something that didn't
