A LITTLE TOO SMART.

Old Rumfeldt was WE'LL dc
farmer Of Stewart county, Tenn,
He was regular in attendance at
conrt at Dover, but seldom turn
ed his face homeward until he
had swallowed more whiskey
than his skin could we'll hold, or
his legs could conveniently carry.
On one occasion he got on his
level early, and about the mid
die of a hot July evening started
for home. He had not gone far,
however, when he was seized
with an nnaccountable desire to
take nap. He dismounted from
his horse, turned him loose to
Craze, and rolled himself into a
fence corner. He was sleeping
very sweetly, when he was espied
by a duzzard, which was sailing
around the vicinity, hunting for
something to eat. Smaller and
smaller grew his circles to his
victim, cautiously taking obser-
vations. at last, but still in
some doubt, the bird lit on the
ground near its expected feast
About this time Rumfcldt be-
came aware that something was
going on, and he partially open
ed one eye and saw bnzzard,
but was too drunk to take any
active measures to drive it away.
He, however, kept a close watch.
The buzzard strutted around him,
all the time inspecting Rumfeldt
closely and cautiously, to ascer-
tain positively that he was dead.
He finally became satisfied that
the corpus before him was indeed
a carcass, and consequently "his
meat, :" whereupon he advanced
deliberately to Rumfeldt's head
and gave him a severe peck in
the face. This aroused Rum
feldt, and, striking out lazily
with his hand to prevent a re-
petition of the attack, he ex-
claimed: "Look'er here-you're a
l-e-e-t7e too smart-I amt dead

or two ago a peace officer of
Yolo County, who resides not a
thousand miles from Davisville,
came to Sacramento on matter
Of business. Early next morn

ed to the depot to witness the
departure Of the trains. From
the depot he went out upon the
wharf near the foot of J street to
take a look at the river.
North of j street the wharf
is in a rather dilapilated condi
ton, and it so happened that the
gentleman from Yolo put his foot
upon a plank which gave way
beneath his weight. and down he
went into the horrid mess and
soft mud and slush beneath.
How far he would have sunk lie
has no idea, but about two feet
beneath the surface he lit astrlde
of log, which was lying pointed
out into the stream, and the force
of his fall was such that lie slid
along the friendly support, like
a boat being launched from the
ways. finally being brought to a
stop by collision with al upright
pile.
HE climbed out Of the tron-
bic as we'll as he could He said
that his fall put him in mind of
the experience he had when a
