AtRuby Hill.

Our correspondent at Ruby Hill
informs us that times have been very
lively in that suburb since the pay
days. Numerous fights have taken
place, none, however, of q very serious
character. On Sunday morning last a
%belligerent fellow picked q quarrel
with q bystander, and was rewarded
by being fellsd to the earth with the
butt end of a pistol. Not satisfied, he
renewed the fight. when his antagonist
snapped the pistol at him, the cap
fortunately not exploding. Our cor
respondent naively remarks that the
mans life was spared "a a warning to
all people whose tongues are hung on
a swlvel.

About o o'clock, last evening. Mr..

The ltDuttanS

The Liliputian Comic Opera Troupe
arrived In Eureka last evening. and
will give their initiatory performances at
Bigelow's Hall tonight. Judging from
the encomiums bestowed upon them
by the press in the western part of the
State. the entertainment must be one
of rare merit. The story that has charm
ed innumerable firesi6es and entranced
childhood's fancy for generations,
has been dramatized by the company,
and Jack, the Giant Killer" struts
the stage. personated by Commodore
Nut. while a realistic giant Colonel

Outside Mines.

The Mail has the following facts and
figures in regard to outside mines. It's
remarks constitute q true bill: 1.-THE
outside mines are doing we'll, and 1t Is
q wonder that so much capital will go
into non-p reproductive Comstock holes
while there are thousands OF good
mines OF the old lode only waiting q
little enterprise and capital to make
them like the Eureka Consolidated,
Northern Belle or the Grand Prize and
Standard. These mines-all of the
Comstock-are selling for aboat &c.
OO0, 900. aud paying monthly dividends
Of about $500. 900, or even per cent
per month upon the whole, while the
Comstock 10 selling for $50. 900 900, and
paying only q. l60. 600, or 3H per cent.
per month. The outside claims pay
twice as high . rate Of interest Ms the
Comstock properties. II we look ct
the assessments the comparison is still
moro favorable to outside mines. The
C0mstock claims require an average of
more than one million OF dollars per
month, while the outside claims de-
mand less than one tenth a. much,
and there Is moro show for small
shareholders. There II no monopoly
OF all the claims by IN firm. In fu-
ture 1t Is safe to say there will be little
chance for outsiders to make anything
out OF the Comstock mines, and the
ooner they turn their att ention from
1t the better for Them"

THE deacon of church in certain
1 town in Barnstable county came to
Boston recently, in order to attend the
revival services at the Moody and San
key tabernacle. Upon his arrival in the
city some of his mischievous friends
conceived the ided of playing a practi-
cal joke OH him Jas he was rather green
and matter-offact in his ways. They
told him that they would take him with
them to the tabernacle, as they had pro-
cured reserved seats for an evening SER
vice, and he was of course very well sat
isfied with the arrangement. Instead of
procuring tickets for the tabernacle, the
wags bought choice selection of seats
for the Howard Atheneum on the ap-
pointed evening the deacon, whose
knowledge of Boston was slight, was
escorted to that place of amusement
AS they entered the building the deacon
was shown all the points of interest in
the structure, and was assured that it
had been leased especially for the revival
services. They took their seats and in
due time the orchestra struck up lively
march. AS the visitor expressed some
amazement at the worldly character of
the music, he was told that it was "Old
Hundred" with variations as arranged
by Mr.. Sankey. When the curtain rose
a a"Dutch song and dance mah'' made
his appearance in red shirt, and de-
livered himself of pronunciamento re-
garding his boarding house. The deacon
was informed that this personage was
Moody, and for a moment he believed it,
but as the performance progressed the
truth began to dawn upon him, and his
friends finally made clean breast of it,
and told him where he was. The ex-
planation was accepted with good grace,
and the party remained throughout the
performance and enjoyed it hugely. The
next day they all went to the Taberna-
Gle. The facts as stated above are en-
tirely without exaggeration, and may be
depended upon as entirely true.-Boston

A DUTCHMAN IN TROUBLE.

THERE is q groc& up on Varrick
L street, whose weight is an even 200
pounds, and he can speak German a
great deal better that he can talk Eng
lish. Across the street lives a boy who
some time since traded off pair of
skates for an old pistol. He was around
the grocery with it one day, when the
fat man said:
Now, my zon, you can't be to
much careful of dot bistol. Some day
she will go off and shoot somepody."
"Oh, I'm used to swords and guns
and pistols" replied the boy fiourishing
the pistol around.
"Vell, you shust look oudt, or 1 am
no goot, continued the grocer, and he
went to put up some sugar.
Next day the boy was around there
again, the pistol being loaded this time.
He was pointing it at the grocer's dog,
when the fat man came to the door and
said
"Poy, what I tole you, yesterday z"
"You said this pistol would go off
some day."
Yes, ] said shust dose words, and
now you look oudt. Somepody can
never tell when anypody's bistol is
going TO shoot Off and murder any
pody.n
She's only loaded with powder and
wheat protested the boy.
dot makes no difference in the
world. Nopody aroundt here wants to
be shot init wheat, and you had peter
go home and put dot bistol down in der
cellar on a nail.n
