UNUSUAL MESEHAP.

Recently Capt. J. G. Smith was awak
ened from his slumbers about four o'clock
A. M, by negro tramp knocking at the
front door. The captain got up to respond
to the tramps importantly, and he met him
at the door with-well, not pleasant feel
ings-who'd blame him?
'What do you want ?" said Mr. Smith.
"a place to sleep" respond the bold
tramp, seemingly unconscious of the ag-
gravation he had caused to the captains
household.
Mr. Smiths reply to such presumption
we will not report. Let the reader place
himself in the same position and imagine
what it would he in his own case, and
then multiply that by two, and you will
get the captains reply. However, while
the parleying was going on Mrs. Smith also
dressed herself, and while both were ab-
sent from the bedroom a piece of ceiling
and cornice, foot and a half wide by
several feet long, fell edgeways on their
pillow, and would undoubtedly have
seriously injured, if not taken the life, of
both the captain and his wife, had it fallen
ten minutes sooner. Perhaps, after all,
the poor negro tramp was one o. Deacon

his usual serenity of mind when gentle-
man came in and said: 'eHave you got
any good brandy--real, genuine brandy
no manufactured stuff ?"
"What do you take us for?" cried Hugh.
''There's not drop of doctored liquor of
any kind about this establishment. No
such brandy as this was ever before brought
to Eureka. 1t cost 1922 gallon in San
Francisco. It's like oil"
The customer poured out liberal al
lowance, but had no sooner attempted to
swallow it than he began coughing and
spat out what he had taken into his mouth.
He held both hands to his cheeks and
whirled round on one heel like a dancing
Dervise, then ran for the water pitcher,
and finally began coughing as though he
would cough up his lungs
"Ough, dough - hooh hough!"
coughed he. "Call that brandy?" and,
doubled up like half-open jackknife, he
coughed himself out of the saloon.
Again was Hugh astounded, and again
he critically inspected the liquor he had
dealt out. He was finally convinced that it.
was all right, but that the fault was
in the people - something wrong with
them.
About the time that he had arrived at
this conclusion man came in, and, spread
ing himself out before the bar to good ad-
vantage, said: "Have you got q good
article of gin-real good, pure gin?"
"Of course we have-never keep any
thing else. What do you take us for?' and
Hugh reached down the gin bottle from a.
shelf behind him with his left hand, while
with his right he brought up from under
the bar cooked revolver, which he
pointed at the head of his customer as heI
placed the bottle before him, saying, 'Now,
you cough, d-n you!"
The customer didn't cough. -Nevada En-

gers, ana their hands being joined, they
are led three times around the altar. Two
highly y-ornamented gilt crowns are placed
on their heads, and held over them by the
groomsmen during part of the services.
They drink wine out of cup three times,
and kissing one another, the ceremony is
finished. The married couple then make
tour of the church, crossing themselves
at, and saluting, each sanity Icon on the
way. Immediately after the ceremony din
ner commences at the house of the brides
father. At marriage feast lighted can
dies are placed in every position and corner
possible. No other wine but champagne
should be drunk, and the quantity con-
sumed of this beverage is remarkable.
The dinner is followed by ball, and the
feasting is usually kept up for tweuty-four
hours. The married couple spend the first
few days of their welded life with the
BRIDES father. After the marriage the
bride and bridegroom must call upon every
one of their relations, friends and acquaint-
ances, and after this ceremony is finished
they sink back to their ordinary life.

VALUE OF FOREST LEAvEs.-The effect
Of removing the litter of mature forest is
really far greater than would result from
the mere removal of so many pounds of
nitrogen, phosphoric acid, and potash.
When the litter is allowed to accumulate
from year to year, and to undergo its
natural slow decomposition, the result is
the formation of forest soil exceedingly
rich in humus; the formation of such a
soil u c:y,n of priceless value to the forest
er. Arough, sterile, rocky soil becomes,
when penetrated with humus, capable of
retaining water, and thus able to with
stand drought. By this action of humus
the mineral plant food which the soil
contains is also brought into more solu-
BILE and available form; while the greatly
increased porosity of the soil protects all
soluble plant food from being washed out
by heavy rains, calamity to which the
original rocky soil was constantly liable.
So great is the importance Of humus, that
in many forest soils its presence is the one
ameliorating principle which renders cul-
tiyation possible. Especially must this be
the case on the hillsides so frequently de-
voted to the growth of timber. Nor in
this case are the advantages Of the deep
humus soil confined to the tree CROWN g
upon it. Owing to the enormous power
OF retaining water possessed by a spongy
vegetable soil, the adjacent valleys are et-
fectually protected against disastrous
floods. Storm water is retained or delayed,
is stored up in the forest soil for use in
summer drought, instead Of descending in
violent streams, tearing up the soil and
spreading havoc all around. The careful
maintenance of forests upon hillsides be-
comes in this view question which is in
many cases of national importance.
To produce in its fullest extent the hui
mus covering of the soil, it is necessary
that the forests should be planted sufi-
GENTLY close, in open spaces admitting
light and air the humus will rapidly oxi-
die and disappear. For the same reason
care should be taken that planting immed-
lately follows the telling of timber; the
ground, as far as possible, should never be
suffered to lie open and uncovered.

TRICKS ON AN AMATECES BAR.
TENDER.

The Hon. Hugh Carlin of Lyon county
was in Virginia City last week. He is
naturally good-natured and unsuspecting,
but don't presume too far. or he will be
sure to drop on your little game. Some
time ago Hugh was in Eureka. Not having
anything to do when he first arrived in the
town, he wore away good deal of time at
a saloon kept by an old acquaintance,
whom he happened to find there.
One morning this friend had some bust
ness out of town and got Hugh to take
charge of the bar during his absence.
Hugh laid aside his hat and took up his
position.
Some person who was in the saloon when
Hugh thus took command went out among
the boss jokers of the town. In pursuance
of plan agreed upon the first customer
that arrived said, as he marched up to
the bar: SCOT any real frst-rate whis-
key?"
"Have got any good whiskey? Haven't
I! You don't find anything else passed
over this bar. Never was finer pack
age of whiskey lugged into Eureka
than what is on tap back in the store
room !"
The man poured out big horn, took q
light swallow of it and began coughing.
He coughed SO hard that he was obliged to
set down his glass. He then clapped both
hands upon his stomach and coughed him.
self all about the room-coughed his hat
off and coughed till he was almost black in
the face-coughed till the tears streamed
down his cheeks--till he seemed not to
have breath left to cough more, or to utter
syllable, when he took his handkerchief
from his eyes, shook his fist at the aston
ished deputy bar-keeper and rushed out
the saloon without q word, leaving
his glass of liquor standing on the coun-
ter.
Hugh was frightened and bewildered.
He took the whiskey bottle, held it up to
the light, and carefully examined it, fear
ing he had made some mistake. Finally,
to make sure, he tasted it, and found
it to be whiskey and pretty fair whiskey,
too.

WONEAN'S LOVE.

A man, who had struggled with malig-
nant disease, approached that crisis in its
stage on which his life seemed to depend.
Sleep, uninterrupted sleep, might insure
his recovery. His anxious wife, scarcely
daring to breathe, was sitting by his bed;
her servants, exhausted by constant watch
ing, had all left her. 1t was past mid
night; door was left open for air; she
heard, in the stiffness of the night, WIN
dow open below stairs, and soon after ap-
proaching footsteps. A moment more and
a man with his face disguised entered the
room. She instantly saw her husbands
danger, and anticipating the design of the
unwelcome intruder, she pointed to her
husband, and pressing her finger upon her
lips to implore silence, held out to the rob-
Der her purse and her keys. To her great
SURPRISE he took neither Whether he
was terrified or charmed by the courage
of her affection cannot be known. He left
the room, and, without robbing a house
sanctifed by such strength of affection, he
departed.

pertaining to the health of the people
carefully looked after, our citizens have
generally been able not only to remain
quietly at home during cholera and yel-
low fever epidemies, but to offer health
full retreat to those of other places fleeing
from the ravages of disease. All that is
necessary to maintain this high standing
of health is for the authorities to be as
vigilant as in the past, and for our citi-
zens to second all their efforts in this
direction. This is the season of all others
when the work must be put in if we are
to have clcanly, and, therefore, a
healthy city this summer.

A STRANGE TRADITION.

Among the Seminole Indians there is n
singular tradition regarding the white
mans origin and superiority. They say
when the Great Spirit made the earth he
also made three men, all of whom was fair
lomplexioned, and that after making them
he led them to the margin of a small lake,
and bade them leap in and wash. One
obeyed, and came out purer and fairer than
before; the second heBitated moment,
during which time the water, agitated by
the first, had become muddled, and when
he bathed, he came up copper-colored; the
third did not leap until the water became
black with mud, and he came out with his
own color Then the Great Spirit laid be-

for his misfortunes in color, gave the black
man the first choice. He took bold Of each
of the packages, and having felt the weight
chose the heaviest; the copper-colored man
chose the next heaviest, leaving the white
man the ightest. When the packages
were opened the first was found to contain

Trustees, is very important one, OF
