What Thomas Carlyle Thinks
of OarWinian1.

Carlyle is now very feeble through
age but his memory is still marvellous,
and the flow of his talk--doubtless the
most eloquent of the AGES undated
Take this as a sample:
II have known three generations of
the Darwins, grandfather, father and
son, atheists all. The brother of the
present famous naturalist, quiet man
who lives not far from here. told me
that among his grandfsther's effects
he found q seal engraven with this le-
gend: "Omnia er c0Echis;" everything
from a clam shell! / saw the naturalist
not many months ago; told him that /
had read his Origin of the Species
and other books; that he had by no
means satisfied me that men were de-
scendants from monkeys, but had
gone far towards persuading me that
he and his so-called scientific brethren
had brought the present generation of
Englishmen very near to monkeys
"a good sort of man is this OAR
win, and well meaning, but with very
little intellect. All, it's a sad and ter
rible thing TO see nigh whole genera
ton of men and women protesting 20
be cultivated, looking around in pur-
blind fashion, and finding no God in
his universe. / suppose it is reaction
from the reign of cant and hollow pre-
tence, protesting to believe what in
fact they do not believe. And this is
what we have got to. All things form
frog spawn: the gospel of dirt the or
der of the dsy. The older l grow
and / now stand upon the brink of
eternity-the more comes back TO me
the sentence of the catechism, which
I learned when child, and the fuller
and the deeper the meaning becomes:
swhat is the chief end of MANI To
glorify God and to enjoy, him forever
No gospel of dirt. teaching that men
have descended from frogs through
monkeys can ever set that aside

Tay lor in an affray over buggy, has
recovered so as to be up and out of

for man who had one ball thro' bis

1t is said that the man held on 10 life
out of pure cussedness and desire for
revenge. He swears that he will
have young Taylor's life as soon as

How They Raised a Dinner.

In the early days of Eureka, when
coin was scarce and credit difficult
to obtsin, it used to worry some of
the pioneers to keep full larder.
There were four jolly good fellows
living in New York canyon, the
owners of several fine locations, bu;
bankrupt in purse, and their credit
at tho stores over done. Their luzi-
ness was proverbiaI, and they lived
on their wits and grew lecn on their
capital. While st breakfast, dis
cussiDg the last remnants of provis-
ions in the cabin, and already hungry
in anticipation OF the coming famine,
ii was suggested that beef stew
would be in order for dinner, provid.
ed the ingredients could be obtained.
There was good water and excellent
salt on hand; but the butcher was
obdarate, aud the grocery-keeper
hard CT heart, and it needed consid-
cradle ingenuity to complete the
list necessary to the concoction of
the savory dish. After much con.
snltation plan was finally agreed
that promised euccess, and the quar-
tette started for town 10 put the
scheme in execution, one of the par
ties providing himself with couple
of stout pins bent in the form of a
hook--a necessary outfit if the plan
worked. On arriving in town, two
of the party lounged around the door
of grocery. where potai oes, onions
and other vegetables were tempt
ingly exposed for sale, W lille the par
ty with the pins and his companion
proceeded to the butcher shop. One
halted on the threshold and gazed up
and down the street, while the other
engaged the butcher in an animated
conversation, in the course of which
be pointed to our friend, and limited
that it would be most excellent
Joke to fasten a piece of meat to the
idler's coat. The butcher saw the
point, and handed over huge round
stake, which, with the aid of the
pins, was fastened to the apparently
unsuspecting victims coat-tail As
soon as it was secured in the desired
position, he moved slowly up the
street, leaving the hatcher convulsed
with laughter at the success of the
joke. The attention of the by.stand-
ers was attracted to the strange ap-
pendage. Some shouted, OF b err &
laughed, and the victim increased
his pace to run, followed by the
mob. As he passed the grocery, the
confederates stationed at that point
put in execution their part of the
scheme by literally pelting him with
potatoes and onions, an example fol-
lowed by the bystanders. He did
not st0p-that was not the play--but
he was soon out of view up the can
yon, going ct gait that would have
astonished race horse. The ex-
element over, the three partners
sauntered up the street, stopping by
the way to fl their capacious peck
cts with the vegetables so freely
used as missiles, and then joined their
companion at the cabin, indulging
their mirth at the complete success
of their stratagem. The quartette
partook of a savory beef stew at
dinner, much to their qualification,
and to the disgust of the butcher
when the joke was explained =
