A COOP JOKE.-Last evening newly mar
rled couple arrived at the Orm.by House
from Bodie, but they decided not to register
stating that it was unnecessary, as they intend
ed to take the lightning for San Francisco.
Charley Sharp, one of the wide awake pro
prietors of the hotel, jumped at the concu-
| sion that they were runaway couple, and as
he has a wonderfully sympathetic nature, he
concluded to shield them as much as possible.
Somehow it got out that the lady and gentle
man were at the hotel, and a number Of the
gentleman's lady friends, of whom he has
many in this city, called at the Ormsby and
asked for the new y married couple, but
Charley feigned sHrprise, stating that there
were no such people in the house. Just as
he had reiterated that assurance for the tenth
ii me the Benedict of recent date came down
stairs and ran afoul of the callers. the
mutual expressions Of surprise and pleasure
at seeing each other did not add much to the
complacency of Charley, and he certainly
wished that the floor might open and swallow
him. The fact of the matter was, the lady and
gentleman were the coupe whose marriage is
noticed elsewhere in these columns, and thew
desired to spend their honey moon in San
Francisco before meeting their Carson friends.
as they wished to escape all notice Charley
concluded that they were an clipping
pair. In conclusion we may state that the
foregoing is an illustration of Charley Sharp's
discretion, and all young people who desire
to engage in the clipping business will find him
a considerate champion of their cause.
PIPES -Meerschaum means sea foam the
French call it ccunse de mer, and from this
foam, which is washed up along the coast of
Holland like soap suds and hardens in the sun
and air, meerschaum pipes are made; but
the majority of these are merchants, made
from the filings of the genuine article, knead-
ed into dough and worked into pipes for the
A American market. All carved pipes are made
from this composition, because the genuine
clay is too soft to stand much wear, while the
is hard, and the figures do not |
wear off so readily There are great many |
theories regarding meerschaums, and there
are but few who know, really, the genuine
article. To such we can only say that the
best plan is to trust a reliable dealer. Jim
Farrell, of the Telegraph Cigar Store, can
give IAN opinion as is an opinion and Jim
has some pipes of the real stuff, and sells
hem cheap, too. When you go to purchase,
most indulgent reader, you say We sent you
10, we don't receive commission, but we like
o see man treated decently, and Farrell
,as the stock which, on our recommendation,
le will sell you right.
COMo.-From that once sleeping camp the
eports are more encouraging from day to
lay. The miners at work there are full of
lope and energy, and feel assured that be-
ore long they will have lively town, and
God mines to support it. The indications
re excellent, and the existence of mines in
,omo are not at all problematieal Adam
yelter, of Empire, who is putting up
uartz mill there, is not the kind of person
Tho would engage in an enterprise of that
aturc without knowing what he is about, for
e is a prudent, cautious business man. He
as the greatest confidence in the future of
omo.
