Yesterday afternoon citizen on his way to the postoffice was halted by a woe-beRone tramp, who looked as if a dinner of shingle-nails and currycombs would be gladly welcomed if served up warm.
 |" You have the same old story to tell, l suppose" said the citizen, as he came to halt.
 No, sir, I haven't" was the prompt reply: " I am simply about to ask your advice. You look like a keen, sharp business man. and I thought I'd ask you what you thought of my going on to the next town"
 Why-why, go on, of course, |" stammered the citizen.
 'tThat is your advice, is 1t ?" con- tinued the tramp. $ I shall leave 1t all to you and do just as you say about it. I have every confidence in your judg ment."
 Yes. think you can't get out of town too soon."
 "And if you were me would you bor- row quarter to get supper on before you left ?"
 4"No. I wouldn't, wouldn't wait for supper"
 "-AIl right-you seem to be kind hearted, well-posted man, and I will take your advice" quietly observed the tramp, as he moved away.
 The citizen looked after him until he was lost in the distance, never once thinking of calling him back and hand ing him quarter. He had had the same game played on him twice be- fore.

CURIOSITY REwARDED.-Big red ants are numerous hereabouts. They carry in their bodies more cussedness to the square inch than the tiger of the jungle, and are just that conceited with their own prowess that they will conf dently attack anything that walks or talks, They are not afraid of man, and if disturbed, will show fight every time. They are not enemies to be de- spised, either, as a person may know who is bitten by one of them, their bite being poisonous and painful. One morning a Chinaman found hill of those ants on Sixth street, and pro- ceeded to poke among the insects with his finger, probably with a view of in
 vestigating their characteristics in the inter ests of science. He knows all about red ants now. One of the in- sects fastened on to his finger, and the way that Chinaman howled would have exploded a double-barreled phono- graph We don't understand the Chi nese language, but judging from the manneriin which this Chinaman gave ex- pression to his feelings on the subject of red ants, he probably exhausted all the explosives invented by the late la mented MT. Confucius, and perhaps added few of his own invention,

Some time since Detroit merchant was in want of 8 clerk, and he adver- tised the fact. Among the numerous applicants who sent in recommends tions was young man who had shortly before received letter from the old man Blank, to the effect that any fur ther visits to his house on the part of the young man could not be permitted, !, and that Mary's" :" future husband was already selected. In his haste and ex- citement he forwarded this note in place of recommendation from mer- camille house, and on discovering his mistake, he called upon the merchant to secure the missive.
 "Ah I'' said the merchant, as the young man entered, "you can begin here tomorrow. l was about to write you"
 That = that letter. began the young man, but the merchant inter rupted:
 Best recommend in the world. Old Blank and I have been enemies for forty-six years. Any one he is down on I always employ, in order to aggravate him. Come right along. I'll give you a position in the front of the store, where the old curmudgeon must see you every time he passes, and if you want to make up faces at him I'll pay all costs l''
 Thus are we able to furnish another illustration that sunshine may come out of the depths of despair.

the second time. Mr.. Lee, the Inspector

THE FIGURE man Of the Democracy is
about again and he has succeeded in
satisfying such papers as the Ga
zette' Of this city, that the Democra-
cy in the California and Maine elections
have gained splendid victories. We
are cure the Republicans have no rea-
son to complain Of the results OF the
elections recently held in these States.
California for four years past las had
a Democratic Governor and Democrat
Legislature, and now she has elected a
Republican Governor and Republican
Legislature. In Maine the Democrats
have had the Governor and the Legis-
lature was adverse to the Republicans,
but now the State will have Republi-
can Governor and Legislature to
stand at his back. We have no desire
to interfere with the pleasant utopian
dreams of the Democracy nor with its
lightning calculator. If the Democra-
cy Is satisfied with such results let i,
dream on, for We are sure the Republi-
cans are fully satisfied.

Thsre are many persons slatsd over
the sudden rise in grain and look upon
Il a the harbingsr Of better times. we
must confess that We have our douo's
upon that subject but are rather w
clined to think that the rise IS . who'e
is mot beneficial. We do not know oi
a single instance where dear bread mas
added either to the happiness or pros
perity of tho laboring classes. Bread
has Justly been termed "the stan Of
life" aud II that staff gets so high that
the millions Of laboring people in this
country cannot reach 1t to lean upon'
We doubt whether the late rise Is bene-
fetal, however gratifying 1t may be to
the farmers. Ifa rise in bread-stuns
implied a corresponding increase in wa
ges, 1t would not matter how high the
price OF wheat was, but with hour az
ten dollars a barrel and wages the
same as they are to-day we doubt very
much whether the prosperity OF the
laboring man would be increased. Upon
the contrary, would not wide spread
distress be the inevitable consequences,
and how would this promote the pros
perity of our toiling millions!
It notable fact, that when the
price of any leading article goes muoh
above a reasonable profit an era Of spec
ulation is sure to follow and only few
generally undeserving ones reap any
advantage from it. The great body OF
the people are the sufferers in such
cases and whatever strikes at the labor.
ing classes strikes at the prosperity O.
the country. II the theory that high
prices for grain is correct one then
short crops would be desirable for in
such cases prices always go up, but are
short crops desirable : Both England
and France know something about that.
and could answer it satisfactorily. The
short crops of those nations the present
wear are not considered as being likely
to add to their prosperity hut rather
they are regarded as a national calamity.
Large crops are always desired by the
farmers although their inevitable ten
dency is to keep prices down. The
hardy grangers Of the country while OF
course quite willing to take sl:5o per
bushel tor their wheat, will hardly en-
dorse a short crop-the only means
likely to produce the desired result. II
the present rise is in consequence OF the
active revival Of business in every other
department Of industry, which is to be
followed by an increase OF wages ior
labor then it is desirable and the renter
and laborer alike will hail the increase
with pleasure.

FOLLOWING ereslex,s Advice

Willie, the little seven or eight years.
old son of VIM. Mast, was sent by his
father quite early yesterday morning to
the shoe store of Mr.. Bon for his boots.
He did not return directly, but nothing
thought of it, as he was in the
habit of going away On Saturdays,
when there was no school, to play and
remain with his playmates all day, re-
turning home in the evening. Therefore
no anxiety was manifested by the par
ents at their sons protracted absence
until darkness approached, when they
began to fear that something was
wrong, and at once commenced the
search for their lost boy.
Mr. Mast made numerous inquiries
about town. but could learn nothing
about his missing son. About nine
O'Clock last night, on the arrival of the
east bound emigrant train. one of the
train men brought the wanderer to his
father. 1t appears that the child took
a morning train for the west and was
not discovered until he had proceeded
many miles on his journey. He was
then recognized a. Mr.. Masi's son and

On Friday evening a painful accident
occurred to Mrs. Fred. Schwartze, at
her home on Pole creek. 1t appears
that Mr.. Schwartze had placed a guam
tity of oil upon a stove. designing to
heat it for use on some machinery
about the ranch. BY some means it
caught on fire, and as the flames rolled
upwards and threatened to envelop the
building, Mrs. Schwartze seized the
vessel and attempted to carry it out of
doors. By SO doing the flames were
communicated to her clothing. Her
face was somewhat burned, but the
most serious injuries were sustained by
her left hand, which is SO badly charred
as to render it probable that it will have
to be amputated. By great care, how
ever, such a misfortune may be

hostiles had given up their guns and
surrendered three hundred ponies. No
trouble is anticipated, and there is no
fear that the hostiles will attempt to es-
cape. The commanding officer en-

thirty-three men, forty-three women,

ponies. No promises were made to the
