WAITS FOB THE LADIES.

A young lady of the age of seven,
who is deservedly a pet of her house
hold, but IS little exacting, and given
to bemoan herself as being rather
neglected and "sat upon" in her fami-
y circle than otherwise, said, the 9th
or day: Nobody ever cared for me,
for even when | was born my mother
and all my sisters were away at the
seaside
Canvas suspenders now seem to be
worn by most all ladies. There's no
give to them, and that's the reason
you occasionally hear button fly off
when lady grabs for her skirt Now
they will be called canvas-back ducks
worse'n ever.
A sharp little girl in Chicago got
out of patience with her bashful low
er's backwardness, and so brought
matters to favorable climax by saw
ing to him, Il really believe that you
are afraid to ask me to marry you, for
you know | would say yes"
A little girl was reproved for play
ing out doors with boys, and informed
that, being seven years old, she was
''too big for that now.' But, with all
innocence, she replied,
"Why, the bigger we grow the better
we like 'em."
In the vote to expel Mrs. Tilton from
Plymouth church nearly all the hands
raised were small, whits, and glitter
ing with rings.
How nicely the corn pops,p said
young man who was sitting with his
sweetheart before the fire. "Yes,s she

SILVER Cry, July 9th.-A dispatch
to the Avalanche from John Day val
ley, speaking of the recent depreda-
tion there by the savages, says: The
latter are monarchs Of all they sur
vey. The area of territory now IN
vested by them embraces some 1000
square miles, combining all the natural
facilities for prolonged war. There
are hardly 500 people in Canyon City,
and less than 100 of the male adult
population are armed. The main street
of the town is within easy rifle range
of the surrounding eminences, which
afford numerous points of vantage far
an attacking party, and the whole vii
lage is completely at the mercy of an
inconsiderable number of savages
were they disposed to sack it. The
terror stricken people have taken ref
uge for several days in a huge tunnel,
built for mining purposes, which af-
fords the only safe retreat in the place.
John Day valley, in the immediate vi
cinity. is about 65 miles long, and the
greater portion of it has been
COMPLETELY DEVASTATED BY THE SAVAGE
H0RDES
In all the engagements that have
occurred the savages outnumbered
the volunteers four to one. Even
when Howard gets up his forces will
be wholly inadequate to cope success
fully with the hostiles.
Mr. Wash, Sheriff-elect of Grant
and two other men, encoun-
Iered nine hostiles near Butte creek.
They had either to run or fight. The
brave trio secured a good position
near barn, opened FIRE upon the saw
ages and drove them pell-mell for sew
,ral miles.

Loving Friends.

Never cast aside your friends if by
any possibility you can retain them
We are the weakest of spendthrifts if
we let one drop off through inattention
or let one push away another, or if we
hold aloof from one through petty jeal-
ousy or needless slight or roughness.
Would yon throw away diamond be-
cause it pricked you? One good friend
is not to be weighed against the jewels
of the earth. If there is GOODNESS or I'M
kindness between us let us come face to
face and have 1t out. Quick, before the
love grows cold Life is too short to
quarrel in, or to carry black thoughts
of friends. 1t is easy to lose a friend,
but a new one will not come for calling,
nor make up for the old ono

A Shower of AlligatOrs.

Dr. J. L. Smith, of Silverton Town
ship, while opening up a new turpen-
tine farm, noticed something fall to the
ground and commence to crawl toward
the tent where he was sitting On ex-
aiming the object he found it to be
an alligator. In the course of few
moments a second one made it's ap-
pearance. This SO excited the curiosity
of the doctor that he looked around to
see if he could discover any more, and
found six others within the space Of
200 yards The animals were all quite
lively, and about twenty inches in
length. The place wherein they fell
is situated on high sandy ground about
six miles north of the Savannah River.
The animals are supposed to have been
taken up in water-spout in some dis
tant locality. and dropped in the region
where they were found.-Aiken IS. c.
