If it is slang, it is really classical slang.
And vet, Of the thousands who usa the
term, how few-bow very few-know its
origin or its primitive significance. Truly,
it is heroic thing to say of man to call
him brick, the word, so used, If not
twisted from its original intent, implies all
that is brave, patriotic aud loyal.
Platarch in bis life Of Agesilaus, King
of Sparta gives us the origin of the quaint
and familiar expression.
On certain occasion An ambassador
from Epirus, on a diplomatic mission, was
shown by the king over his capital. The
ambassador knew Of the monareh's fam,
knew that, though only nominaIly King
Of Sparta, be was yet ruler Of Greece-and
he had looked TO see the massive wa 8
rearing aloft there emba'tled towers Tor
the defense of the town; but he found
nothing of the king. He marve'ed much
at this, and spoke Of it To the king.
"Sire." ha said, II have visitatl most of
the principal towns, aud find no walls
reared for defense Why is th's?"
"Indeed, Sir Ambassador" replied
Agesilaus, Thou csnst not have looked
carefully. Come with me tc morrow
morning, and will show you the walls Of
Sparta"
Accordingly. on The following NOR ing,
the king led his guest ont upon the pains.
where his army was drawn up In fall bat
tie array. and pointing proad'y to 'h- ser
ried hosts, he said. "There, thou behoidvst
the walls Of Spa'ts- ten Thousand men
and every man b,i~k"

WICKED HOAX.

A fun-loving Brooklyn man remov-
ed the setting from his big gold ring
the other day, leaving a marked and
decided vacancy. He gets on q
street car, holds his hand so that the
ring must be seen, and pretty soon 6
man bends forward and remarks:
"Excuse me, sir, but you have lost
the set out of your ring"
$50 I have," replied the owner, as
he looked on the floor.
Every passenger began to pee,
around, and the man who had made
the disc overy, at length asks:
"Was it a valuable set?"
1T was q Thousand dollar diamond,
was the calm reply.
There is another movement on thu
part of the passengers. Some looa
along the seat, some Under it, and
some make q dlve Tor pearl buttons
and other small articles.
"When did you miss it," asked
the first man, as the search weakened
a little.
"A year and a half ago, when ]
was attending q camp meeting il
Illinois," was the sad reply.
Then every passenger straighterl
up, every eye looks into vacancy, ant
not the faintest smile can be seen OF
any face. A person boarding tn
car Just then would wonder wha
great man in the city had died and
the passengers we're on their way t
take q look at his remains.

DEBT.

The Moffett register has been in

This is a monthly average of S235,
or an average of $500 for each reg

being nine.
The cost of the liquor thus sold
and taxed amounts to $25,979 per
year. This is about 4 per cent. ON

CIRCUS

j. T.. Vance, of Modock, was
robbed in the crowd around the ticket
wagon, of $50 in cash, and notes to
the amount of three or four hundred
dollars. A few moments after he was
robbed, a man came into the crowd
and called to another one (his accom-
plice, no doubt,) standing on the
wheel, "one leather and 80 cases."
meaning that he had stolen a pocket
book with $50 in it; but no one in the
crowd at that time paid any attention
to the remark. Several arrests have
been made, but no discoveries have
been unearthed.
s. s. RAIG
had his house broken into Wednes-
day night. while attending the circus,
and 81 rs in cash, together with
$50 worth of jewelry belonging to
his sister, Miss Alice Craig, who Is
visiting him, stolen.
W. II. KENNAN's
house was broken into Tuesday morn
ing during the procession, and nearly
everything vas turned upside down,
but nothing is missed. Will had just
deposited SIS in the bank that morn
ing, or he might have lost that.
p. W. HARDING
took special. care in the morning
when he and his wife left for their re-
spective places of business, to faster
the house well, and tell the negro CIR
to lock the back door when she left
but, no, she must 60 and forget al
else in her thoughts of seeing the
monkey, and did not fasten the bacl
part of the house as she should whel
she left to come to the square to SCI
the great parade. The consequence,
was, that the house was entered ant
about Sc in cash taken; nothing elss
was missed.
When all the hands in
PoLLoCK's MILL
were at the door taking a look at tn
street parade, a boy, about Is year,
old slipped into the office and col
Jared q $40 sack of nickles; but the,
were rather heavy and made som,
noise, and being detected by Willie
Hit, he had to light out without HI!
booty. He was not captured.
w. o JOHNSON
was beat out of $50 in some game o
chance In the side show, and when h,
a
brace game put up on him, the parties
compromised with him by giving him
$40 back.
As will be seen, but very little booty
vas carried off by those who broke
houses open. We don't see what any
