Good Fishing.

"When I got ashore 1 found an old
fellow that lived near the pond fishing
for bull-heads. BE you from the city

Want tor he inquired. If 1 could
get hold of few good ones, I'd be
suited to death. Wud y like T. pay n
couple of dollars & git some good
onesP' I replied that would adily
invest that much for a little genuine
sport.
"The Pike county man stopped to at
tend to bite on his line. He pulled
out bull-head the size of pug dog,
took it off his hook, dropped it in his
boat on top of about half a bushel
others, leisurely wound up his line, and
then said Come along o me- fol-
lowed with my pail of bait-ish and my
tackle. The Pike county man took me
half mile through the woods. There
we came to pond about the size of the
fountain basin in City Hall Park.

fund He showed me box made with
Stats, and having a lid with leather
hinges. One end was stuck down in
the mud, and the box was half full of
water. The countryman told me to
open the lid and put fish in that box as
fast as caught them, and that would
keep them fresh and nice. thanked
him, and he went away with my 81 bill
in his pocket.
"I began to fish. The first throw

pounds easy. This is pretty good /

little while I'd haul out a pickerel. l
put the fish all in the box, as had been
instructed to do by the Pike countian.
caught twenty pickerel before it be-
gan to strike me as something singular
that they were all as near one size as
could be. After my twenty-ifth pick
erel it occurred to me as being a little
remarkable that there was so little com
motion in the box. When 1 opened it
and put my twenty-sixth pickerel in,
pulled it out on shore. There wasn't
fish in the box. One slat was off the
end of the box that had been in the
water, and the pickerel had passed
back into the pond as soon as caught.
Il started back after the Pike county
man. He had probably caught all the
bull-heads he wanted, for he was no
where to be seen. Then I went over to
Little Walker and told John @. about
the twenty-six splendid pickerel had
caught, and how they got away, John
smiled.
Don't feel SO bad, Judge said he.
You only lost one fish. That's old
Bullhead Lees pet pickerel. He's al
ways hungry, and you've caught him
twenty-six times. '"-NelU York San.

The Sandusky (Ohio) Register relates
the following story A little girl with
tangled locks peeping from under calico
hood, clad in dress of chintz, loitered
behind us the great dusty crowd moved
out of the gates of Mount Adna the other
day, after they had scattered their flow
ers and dene honor to the dead. Dream
lily she gazed after them, her eyes filed
with fai saway look of tenderness, until
the last one had disappeared and the
rattle of the drums had died away.
Then she turned and vaguely scanned
the mounds that rose about her, clutch
ing still tighter the fading bunch Of
dandelions and grass that her chubby
hand held. An old man came by and
gently patted her curly head rs he spoke
her name, but she only shranS back still
furthec. and when he told n passing
sDranger that the little ones father had
died on shipboard and been buried at sea,
there was only tear d"op in the child's
eye TO tell that she heard or knew the
story. When they were gone she moved
on further TO n neglected, empty lot, and
kneeling down she piled up mound of
earth, whispering as she patted it, and
smoothed it with her chubby hand.
This won't be so awfully big as the
others, guess, but may be it will be big
enough so that God will see it and think
papa is buried here" Carefully she
trimmed the sides with the grass she
plucked, murmuring on: And maybe
it will grow so that it will be like the
rest in two or three years, and then
maybe papa will sometime come back
and" But she paused as though it
suddenly dawned upon her young mind
that he rested beneath the waves, and
tear-drops that sprung TO her eyes
moistened the little bunch of dandelions
that she planted among the grasses on
the mound she had reared. When the
sexton passed that way at night MS he
went to close the gates he found the little
one fast asleep, with her head pillowed
on the mound.

How to Get q Lover.

In Lancashire, if an Inquirer wishes
to know the abode of lover, an apple
pippin is taken between the thumb and
finger, and, while moving round,
squeezed out, when it is supposed to fly
in the direction of the lovers house.
These words are said at the same time !:
Pppin, pippin, paradise,
Tell me where my true love lies;
East, west, north or south,
Pilling Brig Cockermouth.
Halliwell, in his Popular Rhymes"
(1849), says that girls formerly prac-
ticed divination with a "St. Thomas
onion," which they peeled, wrapped in
clean handkerchief, and laid under
their heads, saying the following
rhyme:
Good st. Thomas. do me right
And see my true love come tonight
That may see MIN in the face,
And him in kind arms embrace.
In Shropshire, to find ones future
partner the blade-bone of a lamb must
be procured, which is to be pricked at
midnight with penknife, aud these
words repeated:
is not his bone wish to pick
But my loves heart l wish TO prick:
il > = cones not ana spcaks to- tight
- prick aid prick ii it ne light.
In Derhyslire they have method
which it would take bold heart to
perform; the young woman, to find ont
her future husband, runs round the
church at midnight, as the clock strikes
l2, repeating the following:
! SOW hemp-secd hemp-seed l SOW;
lie that loves me- best
Come, and at;er me NOW.
After which her destined partner is be-
heved to follow her.

Tobacco Slaves,

A writer in the GentLendn'S Mdgdziae
relates the following instances to show
what a hold the habit of smoking may
have upon persons:s A city man thai
| know gets haitian hour for his luncheon
or dinner in the middle of the day; but
he manages to eat few biscuits during
Office hours, and spends his half hour
walking up and down one of the quays
smoking. This man walks to the city
every morning from his home. the dis
tance being three miles; he also walks
home every evening; and he smokes in.
cessantly during the walks each way
He dimes at six o'clock, and then smokes
without ceasing until bedtime. On
Sunday he smokes all day, except dur
ing meals; he will never attend place
of worship, because it would curtai his
smoking. He will never go into society
with his wife, and, indeed, will not
readily talk to her at home, as it dis
turbs mis- smoking. In all other respects
this man is a good husband and father
Another acquaintance of mine, who is
a highly and deeply-read
man, will tolerate nothing that may
postpone his smoke. At dinner he is in
n perpetual drive to get done, so rs to
begin his pipe; he wants no pudding,
cheese or desert; taking these would in
volve loss of time, and put off the smok-
ing period'a few minuteslonger. He like
wise requires no tea or supper, protest.
ing he is not hungry. and that he does
not wish to be disturbed in his smoke.
Another man that l know is in gov
ernment office, and when the usual pub
lie holidays occur, such as the queens
birthday, his treat is to lie in bed all day
ard smoke. The gentleman is married,
and always smokes his last pipe in bed.

Or. Clark johnson having associated himself
with Mr. Edwin Eastman, an escaped captive long
a slave to Wakametkla, the medicine man OF the
Comanches, is now prepared to lend his aid in the
introduction OF the wonderful remedy of that tribe
The experience of Mr. Eastman being similar TO
that OF Mrs. Chas. Jones and son, OF Washington
Co, Iowa, an account of whose sufferinCs were
thrillngy narrated in the Neo Fork Herald OF Dec
10th, 1873, the facts Of which are so widely
known, and go nearly parallel that but little mem
tion of Mr.. Eastman's experiences will be given
here. They are, however, published in a neat vol
ume of 300 pages, entitled, "Seyen and Nine Years
Among the Comanches and Apaches," of which
mention will be made hereafter Suffice it to say,
that for several years, Mr.. Eastman, while cap
tive, was compelled to gather the roots, gums,
barks, herbs and berries of which Wakametkla's
medicine was made, and is still prepared to pro-
vide the SAME materials for the successful intro
duction OF the medicine to the world; and assures
the public that the remedy is the same now as
when Wakametka compelled him to make it.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1879-07-16

Jerome McGahan, q freighter, was in
town on Monday night with two of his
men, and having business in some of
the stores ON Sixteenth Street, hitched
his horse TO a post. Upon returning,
the animal was missing. The case was
given TO Constable 7. F. Talbot, who
soon discovered the fact that the horse
was stolen by one William Knowles,
who was recently discharged from the
9th cavalry band. Yesterday the con
stable repaired to the quarters of the
band at Fort d. A. Russell, and found
Knowles therein. After a long colo
guy, Mr.. Talbot learned that the horse
was at a ranch some distance, west of
the post. SO, before many hours, the
man wa In Jail and the horse safely
stabbed in Cheyenne. paWag
Knowles had ~endeavored to sell the
horse to Major Talbot and various
other persons, but they an concluded
that 1t was stolen. Finally, Knowles
borrowed Sl.90 on the animal from the
ranchmen who had it stabbed, and con-
cluded to start northward on last night.
But instead he reposed in jail at the in
~itation of Justice Bean, who said it
was worth a two hundred dollar bond
to get out again.

De LaMa,yr a Big Man.

New York, July, 15.zThe Herald,
specializing on the presidential election
possibilities, says: II the four Califor-
mia districts should return republican
representatives Mt the elections two
months hence, which is not improbable,
and If next year the nomination of
three presidential candidates should
happen to throw the election into the
house, which is at least possible, in that
case the Rev. Gilbert DE LaMatyr's
vote in the house might make a presi-
dent for four years, beginning the
4th of March. If the republicans
carry California, the house voting for
president would be equally divided,
counting the Indiana delegation as
democratic. But De LaMatyr's green
back vote, cast with the six republicans
in tho delegation, might decide the
choice of president.
