They brought linn out a calico -colored
beast, with vicious eye, and he mount

two blocks the animal bucked, crashed
through high board fence and plunged
into cellar, tossing his rider over the
top of an adjacent woodshed and
landing him on the ragged edge of a
lawn mower. They bore him home

came in and reduced his dislocations and

weeks later he called at the stable and
said If they had a gentle saw-horse with
an affectionate disposition, bride with
a curb bit and martingales, and a saddle
with two horns and a crupper to it, he

The atmosphere of good luck that hangs
around some men is past understanding.
Take the case of Bob Morrow, the San
Francisco manipulation, who owns St.
Julien, the fastest horse in the world, to
illustrate by, for instance. The reporter
met forty-niner, who used to know him
in the days when "biled shirt" worn
among the mountain miners indicated
that the possesser was either a blackleg
or gospel expounder, the chances being
ninety-n.ne to one that he was the form
err for parsons were then as scarce as
copper pennies almost.
He arrived in Nevada City when the
camp was a mere iufant, SO to speak. The
first thing he did after getting here was
to skirmish around and hunt up shovel,
pick and rocker. With these he began
scratching along Deer Creek for rgold. By
dint of perseverance and hard work-his
knowledge of mining did not exceed his
intimacy with Bible passages and
an exercise of cheek, he got enough t"
alleviate the pangs of hunger to beara-
BILE extent. He stayed around here till
1859, and by that time his clothes were
80 tattered and torn that he had to put
his old hat under him to keep his bare
body from coming in contact with the
chair whenever he sat down, and then de-
cided to emigrate.
George Hearst, Joe Clark, A. E. Head
and number of the other boys, whose
lines were too hard for comfort, wanted
to go with him, but the whole caboodle
of them were dead broke, and figure ar
they could no alternative presented
whereby they could scare up enough coin
to get out of camp with. Finally, Ar
thur Hagadorn came to the rescue. He
fitted some of them out with mule
apiece, provisions and coin. They made
a bee-line for the Comstock. The next
time his old townies heard from Nor
row he was on top Of wave Of pros
perity; that is, had got into the Savage
md some other big mines at Virginia
City. For several years he reveled in
wealth.
After enjoying the rapidly acquired
shekels for few years, they slipped
away from him, and he was busted once
more. His will and energy didn't peter
out when his money did, and, making a
little raise, he sprang boldly into the
arena of the stock market. Since then
he hasn't drawn blank IN the lottery of
| life, so for as heard of. As Director of
the Bank of California alone, to say moth
ing of all the other soft things he dropped
into through the influence of the de.
ceased Ralaton, he has glory enough to
satisfy any common man. As to the
three individuals named above who took
sail on the mules with Morrow, they are
all in San Francisco, doing more or less
in stocks. One or two of them have be-
come pretty we'll fixed in respect to this

The Reason Why.

The tonic effect of Kidney Wort Is pro-
duced by its cleansing and purifying action
on the blood Where there is gravelly
deposit in the urine, or milky, ropy urine
from disordered kidneys, it cures without
fail. Constipation and piles readily yield
to its cathartic and healing power.

A Nevada City lady Of high social
standing presents singular ease for
the consideration Of scientists. For
many years past she has been afflicted
with acute neuralgia pains in various
parts Of the body, and some time since,
hoping to find relief, rcsorted to the
use of an electrical battery. She used
the apparatus for six months, but
found no relief. At the lime nothing
was noticed of unusual character as
the result, and altho' several months
have since elapsed, il was only when
the recent cold weather commenced
that any extraordinary symptoms fol-
lowed. A few nights ago the lady
had occasion 20 enter dark room and
pick up a wooden coat that was lying
there. As she did so she was both
surprised and frightened to behold a
bright light surrounding the hand that
held the garment. At the same time
the electric currents passed along the
arm, shocking her quite severely.
When her husband was informed Of
the fact he discredited its reality, think.
ing that there was more imagination
than reality in it. So the next eve.
ming, TO convince the incredulous bet.
ter-half, she turned the gas out in the
room where they were sitting, and let
ting her hair down began combing it.
A remarkable display of light was
the result. The sparks flew around
in every direction, and there was a
sharp. cracking sound as the teeth Of
the comb passed between the hairs.
In laying her hands upon iron the Ia
dy does not observe the peculiarities
referred to, but the instant she touch
es wooden cloth the fire begins to fly
and the shocks follow one another in
rapid succession. - Nevada Tran.
