The rattle for Naughton's gold watch
came off at the appointed time, the chances
remaining unsold being taken up during
the evening. Several days before a gen.
teman took chance in the name of his
wife; but not being present to throw the
dice, young man present was designated
for that duty. He turned up forty-eight
spots, we are told, and that being the
highest throw, took the watch The chart
table impulse that induced the gentleman
to take the chance, paid him what Bidders
was wont to consider "a hundred per cent
or hundred dollars for one.
During Sunday services in the NJ. E.
church, the subject of infant baptism was
discussed. Fastened to the back of each
seat is pocket in which envelopes are
placed for the accommodation of those who
may choose to make contributions. Upon
one of these envelopes was an endorsement
substantially, as follows: 81 don't take
any stock in infant baptism. That's what
contribute to this church, Underneath
this the writer gave his name in full
which may be accepted as an intimation
that he doesn't care continental who
knows that he doesn't believe in infant
baptism,
The effort being engineered by Judge
Bird to get Col. McKeaig out of the Cairo
postotlice is not made in the interest of any
particular person. The Judge has indicated
no preference, in that regard. So Mac is
put out he doesn't seem to care who is put
in. We hayc watched the movement quite
closely, and feel constrained to say that the
man who ''pooh, pools" it, as mere bau-
BILE that will burst soon, and leave nothing
behind but discomftted Police Judge,
mistakes the character Of the influences at
work We hear nothing but the subdued
tones of a flute in the air just now. Before
long we will be startled by the crash of
a full brass band playing with double f
power and with bass drum and cymbal
accompaniment.
If any of our readers are victimes Of
the Leadville mania. it will pay them to
wait for futher developments, and not act
preciptously on the impulse begotten Of
goldon-hued rumors, that are certain to
prove gross exaggerations or down ight false
hoods. The streets of Leadvillc are already
filled with idle, destitute men, who Can
find employment Of no sort Hundreds Of
them offer their entire time for rough food
enough to keep off hunger. The Denver Trib-
une, in commenting upon the terrible condi-
ton OF Leadyille affairs, appeals to the news
papers Of the country to warn moneyless
people not to go to Laadvillc. Those who
arrive there without money, are doomed to
hunger and want. The mineral lands are
all taken up, and there is not work for one

We had occasion, sometime ago, to
admonish the pcddlcr who was thencanvass-
Ing the city for purchasers for some kind OF
patent contrivancc he had for sale, that
the continued soundness Of his sconce de-
pended greatly upon the improvement Of
his bearing toward detcnccless females.
We have the same hint TO throw out 70 Il
peddlcr now in the city, who is sending out
50 many invitations to married men to bat
tie him over the knob, that he need not
be surprised if saycral Of them are accept
ed with thanks before another twenty
