why a sehoolmaster Left Town.

A Virginia City man, says the Chron-
icle, who formerly taught school IN
Honey Lake valley, bas been telling Dsn
DE guile why he left that rural region.
While employed as q teacher, il seems
he boarded around" and one night,
while at the house of an old ranahman,
gave one of his boys some extra instruc-
tiOns in geography. The old man over
heard him telling the boy that the earth
turned around once in twenty-four hours,
and clicked" against it. He said he had
heard such stuff talked, but there was
nothing in it, as he could prove. He
filled a tin cup with water, and get it on
the top of mis- gatepost, saying:
Now, young Teller, if the world feps
over, as you say, the water will be all
out of that cup in the morning, and you
will be right; if the water is still in the
cup, I'll be right, and the world dent
flop over"
The water was found in the cup, and
the old man triumphantly exclaimed
"Thar, give me common sense any
time against book-larnin'."
Word went forth in the neighborhOOd
that the teacher was an ignoramus, and
he was invited to take walk. A re-
porter asked the teacher if that was the
! only reason the farmers had Tor bouncing
him. He said it wasn't-that he had
