CRUMBS AND BROKEN MEATS.

patches under the lee of the Sierra have beer
laid under tribute to the grim genius who pre-
sides over the store of frost and snow lying
there, summit wards. Even along the run
ming waters of Clear Greek the potatoes and
other early Vegetables shew signs of frosty
visitation yesterday morning, and there were
traces of the assault in too many places here
about No wonder our Summer, when it
comes, comes hot and searching! The seasons
have their duties as well as their appointed
times. There is to be maintained an average
of caloric; and unless July and August make
up for the leakages and wastings of May and
June by condensing good deal of heat with
in the sixty-two days of their existence, Fall
and Winter will have had deal the best of the
years supply of varying temperature. Old
abandoned spiders webs are, as we have dis
covered, useful as building material We al
ways knew that they were valuable for staunch-
ing the flow of blood from a wounded wart or
a small jack knife cut, but that they might
and could and would ever be utilized for the
purposes of architecture we never guessed
But every day brings something new. Yes
terday was no exception to this good old rule
Our windows, long closed against the cold and
wintry winds, have accumulated many grey
and dusty cobweb. Between the window and
the partitiOn-fence is a pear tree. In this
tree brace of yellow birds are building their
nest. They have come slyly to that window,
turn by turn, and actually carried off every
bit of those soft and flmy fabrics for the lin
ing of their little house. So that a spiders
web, even after the spider has done with it, is
good for something besides gun wadding and
the dressing of small injuries to the human
cuticle The races yesterday in front of
Shanes Exchange were highly interesting.
Pie Downer colt seemed ready and willing if
not altogether able to tackle all corners The
Dennis PAGER was trifle stiff in the knee
Joints, and there were whispers of SPAWN and
windgall; and the Lufkin horse, albeit gamey
and displaying a good deal of bottom, showed
symptoms of the heaves or other affection of
the wind valves. 1t is to be said however,
as explaining the apparent disparity between
the horses and the colt, that the former are
shoes on, while Downer had all the adyanta-
yes of collage, the highest of saddles and 90
ing barefoot. 1t was catchweights, first out |
to win the purse, and run, rack, trot or Jump |
stiff legged drivers choice. Time not
gwen. Recapitulation not necessary, the IA
ces not being to rule or of record. Drinks
(for the horses) and entrance fee to 60 with
the gate money, if anybody can find it,.
Noticing an irregular and broken space in the
piles of a wood laden rail road ''hat yester-
day, Harry Hunter explained that there had
been small confagration there-the same
being discovered in time to avert any damage
to car OF cargo Hon. Hub Parker was ont
yesterday in his handsome hunting wagon,
which same was drawn by as cOmely span of
roadsters as any bold marksman need to har
ness withal. We expect to accept an invita-
ton from Mr. Parker to take drive with
him, in the Autumn when he goes grizzly
hunting, which he is pretty sure to dO-and
TO some purpose to be sure. If we ever ad
mitted puffs into this column-whch is like
unto the region of reserved seats in a theater
we should puff Rail, if Rail would permit
that liberty. We'should call special attention
to his new receipts of STANDARD garden
boss (Which is the best); and Of his display of
beautiful and useful things in the hard and
glass ware lines, to say nothing of croquet
sets But we resist the temptation and plod
along, conscientiously, the way that we were
going AS near as we can ascertain, Bodie
has, to employ an expressive phrase of the
fanciful, got it's "second wind. At all events
it comes up smiling with an excellent account
Of itself and showing some fine staying quail
ties. Recent developments seem to have dis
PEELED the doubts and gloom which for a while
hung over Bodie and its prospects, 1t is not {
to be doubted that "the black eye with S
which public confidence in that camp has
been temporarily impaired is in no small
measure traceable to the doleful looks and >
stories of the unfortunate Adventures to
whom Bodie failed to prove an immediate bo-
nanza. Like all new camps this one attracted
all the unemployed and all the loose and idle
population of the regions round about When
hard winter came on and found these penni-
less and with no hope of work, of course e
there were many causes of complaint instant t
ly experienced When such of these as could S
get away did find themselves in the outer
