HIS FAvORIrE MULE.

A Eureka teamster is noted for the
affection that he betrays for one of the
mules In his outfit, the most obsti-
nate and manipulating animal
in the string, and his tenderness
for Nancy, as he calls her, has passed
into a proverb. Upon being rallied
upon this popularity by a chunl, he
discoursed as follows: ~ used to have
a sweetheart back in I~njiany that /
was orful gone on, and this we're
cussed mule has so many pints in
common that my heart just yearns over
her. She were a. likely a gal as ever
run bare-footed in a cornfield, but she
were too cussed obstinate to enjoy good
health. You never knew just how to
take her. She'd look you right smil-
ing in the eye, and you'd think thar
were more sugar in her nor in a New
Orleans merlasses hogshead, but if
you laid yer hands on her unexpected
like, she'd kick the brseching all to
HI i'll less than a minute. That's
Just the way with that mule. / reckon
she's cost mi nigh onto five hundred
dollars for harness, saying nothing
about a Doctors bill for a broken leg;
but you get into a place whar the
mud's deep, and the rest of the team
kerfi1mmixed, and call onto her for
assistance, and blast my eyes ii she
won't pull herself clear out of her
hide to help you out of your trouble.
That were the very way with Nancy.
The summer fore | emigrated l were
mighty sick with the ager, and got the
milk fever on top of that, and l were
pretty nearly ready to cross over Jor-
dan, but she nussed me, helped her
ole dad all day, and sit up with me
nights until she were a shadder, but
she pulled me through, and then she
advised me to einigrate to CalifOrny.
! hated to go away: it we're like per-
suading n hungry boss to leave a pail
of oats; but thar war no use, she wer
bound to hev her way, and l came.
That war fifteen year ago, and l hadn't
been in the country a month fore l
got news Of herdying. Poor gal! She
overdone herself takin' care of my
worthless carcass, and | never seen no
woman since that time hat were worth
shucks compared to her"
His eyes were moist as he closed his
affecting "reminiscences, and if any of
readers notice a mouse cOlored
lead mule that can kick a fly off her
companions ear with unfailing accu.
racy, or out pull any pair in the team,
they will know that the man of
the drivers life is cente1ed in hat ami
NAL, and respect the tender memories
that causes him to bestow upon her
the affection that was once the sole
property OF the departed Nancy.

THE HAvERLY mrNsrRELs.

The opening night of the above or
ganization was signalized by the as
sembling OF a large and fashionable
audience at the hall, and it was pleas
ant to notice that a great majority of
the reserved seats were occupied by
ladies'. The merits Of the troupe en-
titled them to an ovation, and if con-
tinued applause and unceasing merri.
ment is an indication OF approval, it is
certain that they received the unani-
mons verdict of those attending to that
effect. They were not seer to the best
advantage, as the stage limits were so
circumscribed as to limit the ebony
circle, and compelled the orchestra
part to seek a position on the floor of
the hall. notwithstanding the draw
backs OF inadequate room, and lack of
space wherein To show their merry
qulps and quirks to he best ad Vantage,
their splendid and finished perform
ances stamped them as h~ighsioned and
talented artists, and we doubt there
being a superior organization of burnt.
cork ex ponents in the business. The
first part was noted for an absence of
stale jokes and gags, the sparkling
jests OF the end men being at once
bright and pointed. Mr.. KetnbIe, the
in%terlocutor, has a wonderful flow OF
language, and Is evidently a cultured
gentleman. The songs were we'll rem
dered, and showed the possession of
good voices on the part of the ~vocalists
participating. The wind up was a
most comicai act, and closed the first
part amid screams of laughter. Part
second opened with Billy Rice's bur
lesque Grafton, 1.-The Silver BILL and
the discourse was inimitable in its way.
w. Henry Rice followed in u prima
donna act. His make up and toilette
was magnificent. and his vocal efforts
we'll done. WEIGH and Rice, song and
dance men, were next on the pro-
CANINE, and elected round after round
of applause In their sketch entitled
"Sweethearts." After some vocal Sc
l~ections by the California quartette,
George Thatcher appeared with his
album of absurdities and proved him
self to be a very strong card, and
worthy of the Communications he has
so lavishly received in the Eastern
cities. Frank CushtDan, as All aged
darkey, introducing the song, Down
Where h Cotton Grows" was well
received, his personation bsing real
istic and pleasing. The Four Grang-
ers was a laughable piece, and caused
considerable merriment. The perform
ance on the harp by Charles Diamond
was novel and pleasing, and showed
extraordinary talent on his part. Billy
Carter, with his banjo, was next intro
duced, and he at once demonstrated
that he was a master of that instru-
ment. The entertainment wound up
with the "Quiet Family" at the con
clusion of which the audience dis
per>ed in the best of humor, every one
agreeing that it was the best company
that had ever visited this part of the
State. There will be an entire change
of programme this evening, and judg-
ing from the demand for reserved
seats, the hall will again be crowded.

WHAT lie FOUND.

He made his wife q Christmas gift Of
a very handsome writing desk, pro-
vided with a lock and key, and has
since that holiday season been more
than gratified to observe the care with
which his spouse cherished his present.
All would have beer we'll had he not
allowed the demon of jealousy to get
possession of him, and rack his heart
with vague suspicious, all because a
young buck had paid her a little more
attention than he thought was due a
lady who belonged to another. Then
he noticed that the desk was always
kept locked, and he was seized with a
desire to examine its contents. 1t took
considerable strategy for him to gain
possession of the key, but he finally
accomplished it, and taking advantage
of her absence, opened the article. and
was rewarded by the discovery of two
notes, each commencing with, My
own darling -, and signed, Your
own Willie. The body of tho notes
we're harmless, breathing undying
love. and making an appointment to
meet at the soiree, but they were
enough to fire his brain with madness.
There was a terrible scene on his wife's
return, and it took three hours of sup
plication, weeping and soothing argu-
ment on her part to convince him that
the missives were only souvenirs Of
her girlhood, addressed to her by a
lover during her single life. She
had it not been for the almost fatal fact
that tho fotlow ,,hoco oftoptiono had

The late winter has been a very easy

of their ranges bnt the later storms.

grasses are now springing up, and III

The bands have been picked over and

who have paid good prices for their
purchases. Considerable stock will

He thinks well of the mining outlook
of that region, but says it is impossible
