f. The following from Sacramento
City paper:
"R. B. Watkins, a Sergeant in the

was formerly in charge Of the station
at Helena, Montana Territory.
While residing there he became ac-
quainted with and visited the Gov
ernor of the Territory, gentleman
who came from, what is kuown as
the White Water country of the State
of Indiana. At the Governor resi-
dence the Sergeant saw the photo
graphic likeness of q beautiful young
lady which deeply impressed him.
and to such an extent that the Gov
ernor gave him a letter Of introduc-
tiont to the lady, who was an intimat e
friend of his family. With this let
ter Mr.. Watkins opened CORES
pondence with the lady, she living
at Beechwood Estate, Fayette conn.
ty. Indiana. three miles distant from
Eventon, formerly known as West

The correspondence continued for
some time with satisfaction TO both
parties. Sergeant Watkins was de-
tailed a year and a half to the Sac.
ramento station. He met here resi-
dents who were formerly citizens OF
Fayette county, and to them he was
referred by the friends of the lady
Of whom he had become so singular

old home, as to himself and his farni.
ly. The correspondence continued,
and finally it was arranged that Mr..
Watkins should go East, visit the
lady. and ifthey found the affection
awakened by correspondence to be
strengthened by personal aequaint-
ance, then the two should marry.
Accordingly, some weeks ago. Mr..
Watkins secured leave OF absence
and went on to Connersville, India

Courier Journal. Ex-Gov. John G.
Brown, of Tennessee, speaking of the
work Of the recent Democratic conven-
ton in his State, expressed the belief
that all differences in the party are now
healed, the financial question, which
was the only issue which caused dissen-
sions, having been disposed of satisfac.
torily- He believes that Judge Marks
is the man to consolidate the party, and
that his nomination on such a platform
has made the ticket safe, and no Com
gressional districts will be lost. He
does not regard the strength of the
GreenbackerS and Republicans com
bined as very formidable. Gov. Brown
understands Tennessee politics as well as
any man living, and his conclusion is
that the Denocfatic ticket will be cleo
ted by a large majority.

4 Nevada Shepherdess.

From the Gold Hill News.
j. @. Martin, Jim Mcknight, Bill
Bird and others have recently come
in from a prospecting tour north
and east from Virgins. While
searching for hidden ledge over
the bills some five miles north OF the
Badger Mine, they came upon a YER
liable shepherdess among the foot
hills. Whatever of the romantic
which is usually attached in the
mind to thoughts of such an adyen-
ture. in this instance give way to
the stern realities Of the case.
There was no "fairy creature with
her crook, tending her fathers
focks," bat'ia woman, wrinkled and
Wry,, and of three-score years. lead
ing a herd of from 275 to 500 goats.
She was clad plainly, if not. neatly.

was half a blanket and sack Of
wool for a pillow. The food on
hand consisted of pound and a
half of flour. which she used by mix
ing it in water and drinking il in
the place OF tea and coffee. She
had also two dried-up slapjacks, on
one Of which she was nibbing. She
added to these luxuries such por-
tons of the flesh of her kids killed
by coyotes as she was able TO re-
cover. But the boys appear to have
caught the aged shepherdess away
from her home. She told them
where she lived, away. over the
mountains. In the course or their
wanderings they found place
and accepted the invitation accord
ingly, although the mistress Of the
mansion was not at home. They
found there-eight pounds Of beans
and about as many Of bacon. eight
chickens and nary a rooster among
them. She explained .his to them
en- their return. She got lnungry ia |
tbe spring. and killed the rooster.
As the hens were laying. and she did
not care to eat them up. They also
found there sort Of dress, and the
other hair or the old 1ady's blanket.

In the recent election in Vermont,
the greenback vote was not alarm
ingly great. although it is probable
they elected their candidate for Con-

victory, however. if it be one, is but
a fair measure of their strength. as

A wFIter in the Atlanta Coaststu.
tfon says that in 1871 he bought 4Oe
acres Of reputable poor land in
Glynn county. Ga, and put upon it
100 sheep. In 1873. by natural in
crease, he had $40 ewes, and had
sent to market 70 wethers. His
sheep were penned nightly and
every two nights MANFRED half

brought into high state of cultiya-
ton 100 acres Of land, that seven
years ago was considered worthless.
Since 1871 he has bought 200 sheep,
and now owns 1900 head. He
keeps shepherd who is paid to at
tend to his business and keeps an
accurate book account of every dol
lar or dime spent on account of the
sheep; and finds, by casting up a
balance sheet, that it costs him ex-
-actly fifty-seven cents head per
annum to keep his flock. They av-
erage him about three and q half
pounds of wool each. Last year he
clipped in May and again in Sep
TENDER, and the clip amounted to
Ave and half pounds perl head.
Last year he sold in Savannah and
Macon 5000 pounds of wool, at an
Faverage Of thirty cents per pound,
including few pounds Of Merino
wool, which made the gross receipts
$3.50. The, nnual expense of the
flock was S1,O26. So there was an
absolute net profit in the wool Of

above cities go Wethers as mutton,
for $342, making total of $2.289.
Besides this, he has fortified the

SuIphuric Immortality.

From the Charleston News.
About six months ago one of those
irrepressible 'yaller dogs" which
invariably belongs to the irrepressi-
bic freedman wandered in the direc-
ton of the Stone Phosphate Works
on Ashley River. With the curiosity
which is an inherent trait of this
character of "yaller dog" he at
tempted to investigate one of the
acid chambers. The dog fell into
the Chamber, but by the aid of his
owner and some of the philanthropic
employees of the company was res
cued from sulphuric grave and was
permitted to go home to the, house
of his master and die a peaceful
death. The strangest part of this
story, however, is to follow. After
his death the carcass of the cur was
by his ungrateful master allowed to
lie in the open air without the sepul-
ture which dogs have right to ex-
pect at the hands of their masters.
After lying six months exposed to
the open air and the rays of the sun,
the carcass of that dog lies where it
was thrown, perfectly preserved.
This proves that sulphuric acid will
preserve even the corpse of ''yaller
