ToUGH OLD BAcHELoR.--A centennial
old bachelor has gone to that bourne
whore buttons never come off and stock
ings are never darned. DR.. Henry Park
er Blackwell died in Troy, N. y, the
other day in hi, lO8th year. He was born
in Limericl, in 1770, fought for the King
during the Rebellion Of '9S, was first a
physician, then coachmaKor, then n
farmer, then an Immigrant; and finally "a
herb gatherer of South Troy. He was
born an Old bachelor, he lived an old
bachelor, and he was one when he died.
He hated doctors. a portion of one Of
his fingers had been amputated, and be
declared that five physicians had exam
ined the wounded member, which had
been injured by poisonous splinter, and
decided that his arm would have to come
off "Cut my arm off :" he exclaimed (;
&" told them that they would all be in
their graves before that was done and,
after taking my advice, they only cut it
off at the finger joint" When It was re
marked to him that it was very singular
that both he and his father should live to
such advanced ages, he replied; " Not
at all singular sir. We took care of our
selves, ate everything we wanted, but did
not 60 to balls and get drunk. We did
not lcse our rest. Gods animals take
their needed rest, and so should men,
My grandfather lived to be 127 years Of
age, and was as good as any man until
his last sickness"

A PALIsADE correspondent Of the Eu-
reka Sentinel tells this idyll of the rail /:
a little incident occurred here on Tues
day morning, on the arrival of the West
ern-bound emgrant train, that illustrates
the old story Of love and its stratagems.
Among the passengers was 4 family from
the 'hopper-devastated State Of Kansas,
consisting of father, mother and a small
brood Of thirteen assorted sexes, ages and
sizes. The Oldest WAS a plump fair hair
ed girl, with a weary look that betokcned
life worn out with constant struggle
with the tow-headed children that had
fallen to her charge. 4 stalwart young
fellow from Maine, bound to the redwood
section Of the Golden State, made the ac-
quaintance Of the girl after leaving Oma
ha, and the trip 80 tedious to the ordi
nary passengers, became to them only
one Of pleasure. Friendship riponed in
to love, and the flame was mutual Sof,
ghnces, ardent pressures Of the hand,
and delicious rides on the platform to
gether became daily incidents, only inter.
rupted 10y the shril voice of the mother,
whose lalsetto shrek Of" Mary Ann"
recalled the daughter from her dream OF
love to the stern duties Of life. This riicd
the yodng man, and he untoldel plan
to the girl whereby she could at one,
shake herself free from her sisterly duties
and after some hesitation the fair Mary
Ann consented On the arrival o. tb,

out of the car and incontinently skedaG.

behind which they stayed until the train
pulled out. Then boarding the Eastern
bound train, they proceeded as far as FL

were duly made one. The groom tele

THE Piocene Mining Company, whose
claims are near Downievile, says the
San Francisco Stock EIchdnge, will in
troduce machinery to bore for gravel.
This mode Of prospecting a gravel mine
is something original, and marks an en-
tlrely new departure in this branch Of
mining. The plan has been spoken of be
fore, but never to our knowledge has any
attempt been made to put it into practice.
The machinery to be used will make a
bore of the diameter of eight inches, and
in earth or soft rock is expected to sink
at the rate OF seventy-fve feet day.
There is no reason apparently why this
method should not prove at least as great
success as the diamond drill on the
Comstock. The large size Of the bore
should make a reliable index of the ma
ture OF the ground passed through, and
we do not see how the looseness Of the
ground is to make any difference in the
result. At all events the experiment will
be closely watched, and, if successful,
will be initiated largely, the chief adyan-
age being the economy with which large
spaces can be prospected as compared
with the slow and expensive mode OF
prospecting by sinking shafts and run
ming drifts,

The HoRRoRs OF WAR. In 1911 tho

THE OLD BASE-BALLER.

The doctors didn't think that Mr..
Wrghtfeld could last much longer. He
was failing rapidly, and they thought
that in a few days he would pass away,
quietly and painlessly. He was able, on
pleasant days, to be carried out on The
the sunny porch, whero he would sit in
his armchair and listen to the shouts That
came from the distant bsso-ball grounds
and his eyes would brighten as he heard
the old, familiar sounds. Sometimes tho
boys would come down and tall, to him,
after the game was over, and it would
make him cheerful and happy for hours
afterwards, and he would chatter about
the grand old games they used to have
whom he was center field in the "Won-
derfuls," and the season he played te-
hind the bat for the "Foarfuls," and the
year he was short stop for tho dread
fuls," and the season he stood Mt second
base for tho ""Awiuls.n But still ho
grew no better, and he babbled about the
old times, and the new rules and bud
regulations, and mourned over the change.
es, and wished that he was young aud
strong again, and could play Just one
more game before he went out forever.
Well, tho boys heard of it, and one Sat
ulday afternoon they went down and laid
out the grounds rs we'll as they could, So
as to bring the strikers face right ia ftott
of the invalid's chair, and told him they
were going to let him play lehiud tho
bat for both mines in little practice
game, Wel, sir, the old man b,accd
right up, and he made his wife take on
his coat, although il was enough to Kill
him right there, before be would let the
ball go to the pitcher. They got start
ed Mt last and the pitcher tossed him nn
easy one, and the man at the bat just
tickcd it enough TO make mn easy foul OF
it, and dropped it right into Mr.. Wright
fields hands, but the old man saw through
ii and go. furious and when the umpire
called 'out on foul; man To bat" he
wouldn't have bit of it, and yelled ut
tho picther rs loud as be could with his
feeble, quivcring voice, ito send 'cm in

going to baby ham, ho said, when he'd
forgotten how 20 play base ball n dozen
times before any Of them eyor SAW or
heard of the game.
Wei, the upshot Of II was that they
had to humor him, to keep him from g'-
ing off in fit Of hysterics, and tho next
ball the pitcher shot in came like II me-
toor, whizzed past tho strikers head, and
when the ole man took it, it broke two

light and the boys eyes just stood right
out Of their heads when hc stood rigL: up
on his feet. They rushed in on him
and sockod him in the uit Of tho stomach
with brick, hit him on the head with

his fingers in the crack of the door, threw
dirt in his eyes, kicked him in tho shns
and poured arnica all over him, And it
