The Bashful Young Man and the
Maiden
(San Juan Zeal. } Independent

lSdu Ju8u lCal) luutpeuueutJ
Not many miles from San Juan-not more
than f1fteen-res1deS young farmer, who is
not over twenty five years Of age. He has con-
siderable of the requisite-the coin. Up to
within very short time he had led lonely
llfe but, thanks to the year 1880, which has
proved his salvation, a young lady has pro-
posed to him and he Is now enjoying her So
ciety as his wife. The young man had every
qualification for good business man, but not
Wtthstanding all this was extremely bashful
and blushed clear to his ears every time he
caught sight OF young lady. Moreover, he
imagined he was fright to behold and no girl
would condescend to look with favor upon him.
In fact, 1t was his opinion that he was destined
to lead life of single blesSedness all the days
he might wander about on this terrestrial
sphere. One day, however, he stopped at the
house where resided lovely girl. She had
seen how shy he was on every occasion, and
became infatuated with the peddler of apples
and garden truck, and was determined that the
Ice should be broken, as leap year had arrived
which gave her every privilege In this parttcu-
lar granted to the sterner sex. The young
lady, therefore, walked up to him, as he stood
by the well, and calling the young man by his
given nArhe, asked him why he did not get mar
ried. He replied with characteristic non eS-
TEEN that he didn't think there was anybody
who would have him. ssWhy," replied the
young lady with great fervency, ST VIII have
yOu."- The young man turned red and STAN
mered by turns, but finally he did manage to
tell her IAN right" Arrangements were made
at once for the marriage ceremony, and In less
than q week they were living together as man
and wife, happy as birds In nest

The Gravel Mines.

Virginia City (Nev.) ChroniCIe.I
II you want to make certain Virginia City
merchant real mad, ask him If he has a gravel
mine to sell. He got to playing poker one day
and won $780, but took In payment an unde-
veloped gravel mine. His friends teased him
terribly about the alleged worthless property,
that before he got through with that mine they
would see that he was not such fool as they
took him for. Then he wrote to some rich ac-
Quaintances that he had splendid claim,
which, being hard up he would sell cheap for
S. 600. Then he bought $500 worth OF gold dust
and nuggets and sailed the claim thoroughly
with them. The capitalists came, prosPected q, q
s. 600 cash In three weeks they got out s. 900
worth Of ore. That Virginia City man didn't
smile for month.
