THE DAYS OF 40.

Published by request
l Oh, here you see old Tom Moore,
A relic OF former'dsys;
A hummer, too, hey call me now.
But what care for praise,
For my heart is filled with the days yore.
And Oft do repine,
For the days Of Did. and the days Of gold.
And the days Of t9.
chorus For the days of old, and the days of
gold,
and the days of49.
Q I'd comrades then W loved me we'll,
jovial saucy crew;
There were nard cases there, must confess,
But they were brave and true
who'd never finch, what'er the pinch,
Would never fret or whine
But like good old bricks, they stood the kicks,
In the days Of 40.
There was Kentuck Bill, knew him well,
fellow so full of tricks;
At game of poker he was always there
And as heavy, too, as bricks;
At q game OF draw he'd ante q slug,
And GO hatful blind;
But in a game with Death, Bill lost his
breath,
In the days of 40.
There was Monte Pete, I'll ne'er forget.
The luck he always had;
He'd deal for you both night and day,
As long as you had scads;
One night pistol laid him out,
Twas his last layout In fine;
1t caught Pete sure, right In the door,
In tho days Of 40.
Chorus.
8 There was New York Jake, butcher boy,
80 fpn1 Of naft In iul,f
And every time he went on spree,
He was spi'ling for fisht
Oue day he ran against knife,
In the rands OF old Bob Kline;
So over Jake, we held wake,
In the days of 40
There was Rackenssck Jim. who could outroar
Buffalo bull, you betl
He'd roar all day, and roared all nigh.
And guess he's roaring yet;
One night he fell in prospect hole
Twas = roaring bad des On,
| For in that hole Jim roared out his last,
| In the days of 40.
There was old Lame JEFF, hard old nut,
He was never known to repent;
He ne'er was known to miss = drink,
Or pay single cent:
But old Lame JEFF, like all the rest.
To death he did resign.
And in his, bloom. went up the fume,
In the days Of 49,
| Chorus
| 8 OF all the comrades had then,
Not one Is left to toast
They've left me alone in my misery,
Like some poor wandering ghost;
And as 80 from place to place,
They say I'm a travelling sign,
Saying here's Tom Moore, hummer sure,
Of the days Of 40.

A good story is told upon P. B. Tully,
an eminent lawyer of G,lroy. who was
out bunting recently in San Benito
county, by one Of his party: While walk.
ing along with his dog he passed a
"muly" COW who suddenly made for him.
The COW was too close to admit of the
use Of gun with any degree OF certainty
and Tally ran. He had not proceeded
far before he stumbled and fell over and
wedged himself between two logs, with
that portion Of his body which he sits
upon sticking up very prominently. The
COW took in the situation at q glance and
amused herself by butting Tully. Every
time she struck him she would drive his
head deeper into the dirt. while he
shouted to his dog at the top of his voice,
"Sio him! sic him, bull, catch him,
d-n you" After the lapse of half an
hour or SO several of the party, hearing
their comrads shouting came to his
rescue. Tully says that he hasn't set
down for u week.-[ Hollister Enterprise.

The B0Wery Boy.


It is related of Thackeray that, being
very DESTROYS to see a "Bowery boy"
he went with friend into the haunts
OF that peculiar creature to look for
one.
Very soon his companion pointed out
to him genuine specimen standing on
the corner of the street, against lamp
post, red-shirted, black trousered, soap:
locked, shiny-hatted, with cigar in his
mouth elevated at an angle of forty-fve
degrees.
After contemplating him for few
moments, Thackeray said to his friend
that he would like to hear the fellow
speak-to talk with him and asked if
he might do so.
Surely" he was told, without hesita-
ton; "go to him and ask him to direct
you somewhere"
Thereupon the curious stranger ap-
preached, and said, politely, my
friend, I should like to go to" such or
such place.
"Weil," replied the Bowery boy, in
his peculiar and quite inexpresaible
tone, and without moving anything but
his lips, as he looked up lazily at the
tall, gray-haired novelist, well, sonny,
yon can go, if you won't stay too long,"
Thackeray was quite satisfied, and
we'll he might have been. Hehad seen
and heard the real thing.

MINNESOTA ELECTION.

We have already given the official vote for
Governor and Lieutenant Governor, showing
1921 votes cast for Pillsbury and 41,74s for

Governor, received 1850, and Satterlee, the
Temperance candidate, 1852. This makes
Pillsbury's plurality over the Democratic

Buried Alive.

A young Russian pobleman, having
squandered his fortune, appealed to his
sister to relieve his wants. This she re-
fused to do, and he thereupon deter
mined to make away with her for the
sake OF inheriting her property, and
found means to give her draught,
which was probably intended to kill,
but which only produced deep sleep.
The funeral was hurried forward, and
the service had been performed over the
body, when one of the lady's friends
stepped up to the coffin to impress
farewell kiss on the corpse's cheek
previous to the interment. Taking it
by the hand, she was surprised to find
some traces of vitality still remaining,
and begged that the interment might
be postponed, to try if her friend might
be recalled to life. The brother, of
course, would not listen to this, but
treated her request with ridicule. She
then hurried off to the authorities and
stated the case, and proper persons were
appointed to return with her; .but her
friend had been already buried, and so
great is the veneration for the dead in
Russia that for a long time her desire
to have the body disinterred met with
most violent opposition. At length,
from some circumstances which trans
PRED, the Commissioners of Inquiry
conceived some suspicion of the case
and determined on opening the grave,
when it was discovered that the lady
had been buried alive, as her face was
much lacerated, and impressions of her
nails were found on the coffin lid. The
brother was taken into custody, con-
fessed his crime, and underwent the
punishment he so richly deserved.

A Coon Swallowed by a Snake.

Not many years ago the writer was
homeward bound from the South
When our boat drew up to the bank
few miles below Vicksburg, to take on
wood, number of passengers, I among
the rest, ventured ashore. While en-
gagged in drawing down huge streamer
of Spanish moss, my attention was
called to raccoon that was descending
a leaning tree few yards away. APP
preaching, I discovered very large
serpent eagerly inspecting his coon
ship, and seemingly specializing on the
amount of heterogeneous matter sur
rounded by that glossy hide, Down
came the coon, and his serpentine foe
swallowed him without struggle. By
this time number of the party were
on the spot, and we were preparing to
iberate the animal by opening the alb
domen of the snake, when to our sur
prise the coon emerged from the caudal
extremity of his living prison, and
scrambled for the tree he had recently
occupied. In this attempt he was
foiled. The willy serpent seized him,
tail foremost, and sent him bowling
home, but not as easy as before, for
the coon resisted every effort of deglu-
tition, and in this he was aided by the
displacement of his fur, for the snake
was swallowing him against the nap.
Such being the case, we concluded the
coon would never find the way out via
the alimentary, and we again prepared
to open the reptile. In this we were
mistaken, for after series of strug-
giles, starts, stops, blind switches, etc.,
he struck the main track and came
backing out, bewildered but not dis
couraged, and again set out for the
tree. But the snake arrested him head
foremost this time, and, drawing up his
huge body into dozen or more lateral
angles, curves and convolutions, hop
ing thereby to retain him, he slid him
down his esophagus like worm-loz-
enge. But all too late" The cum
ming coon had learned the route, with
all it's by-roads, blind paths, drifts,
dips and angles. He again emerged,
only to be seized by the hungry SER
pent, who now stood guard at the
door.
This was repeated until the serpent
was enfeebled by exe<tion, and the
coon, animated with success, came GAL

DRIFTING.
By JENNIE JONES.

Drifting on nfe's pleasant waters,
You and I,
Watching all the prouder vessels
Sailing by.
There are ships with treasure laden
Down the bay;
See their white sails proudly filling
Far away.
They are bearing hopes and promise
From afar:
Some will anchor in the harbor, some groun,
On the bar.
Pirate vessels, cruising ever
In disguise,
With their wiles will capture many
A rich prize.
Wrecks OF many noble vessel
Strew the lea,
Bearing only freight of love;
Naught fear we.
Storms are on the ocean wrecktng
Many bark;
Many gallant ship goes down
In tha dark.
When the storm tossed ocean pillows
Madly roar,
Then our bark so lightly laden
Keeps ne ar shore.
Drifting on when skies are brighter.
You and I;
Well not envy prouder vessels
Sailing by.

A Declined Challenye,

COL Scott, at one time Governor of
Kentucky, was q brave man and &C.
quired q reputation in his adopted
State of skillful Indian tighter.
While he was Governor, some fellow
sent him challenge, on account Of an
ofense which he imagined Scott had
committed against his (the challenger's)
honor. The old soldier did not notice
it. The fellow, who had given public
notice Of his intention to t'cau out" the
Governor, was much annoyed at his
silent contempt. After waiting several
days he sought the Governor for an
explanation, and the following CONVEX
sation took place:
''Gov. Scott, you receiveda challenge
from me?"
'Ycur challenge was delivered, sir"
But I have received neither an &C.
acknowledgement nor an acceptance of it. !"
II presume not, sir, as I have sent
neither"
'But of course you intend to accept2r
"Of course I do not"
"What! Not accept my challenged
Is it possible that you, Gov. Scott,
brought up in the army, decline COM
BATE"
II do, with you"
"Then have no means of satisfae-
ton left but to post you coward"
"Post me cowardl" exclaimed the
Governor, bursting into a hearty laugh.
Post away, and you'll only post your
self liar, and everybody else will say
So"
And that was the end of it.

been made previous to bringing the
