BOLD FEATS OF CHILD RIDERS

BOLD FEATS Or CHILD flDEhS.
A gentleman who lives on the Stan
islaus River, close to its junction with
the San joaquin, told Nail reporter this
morning what he never would have be-
lieved had he not known his informant to
be entirely trustworthy. He said that
near his place are boy and a girl, the
former about twelve and the other about
fourteen years Of age, who frequently
jump into the saddle in the morning and
ride all day among droves Of wild cattle
which would surely gore them to death
should they become unseated. Both carry
lariats, and if they see calf in the
drove that has escaped being marked,
they run on to it, the boy throwing his
rope and catching it by the head. and the
girl catching it by the feet. after which
the ears and brisket are duly cut. But
this is not all. On the ranch is large
bottom of underground, in which roam
hundreds Of wild hogs. OF these the
boars are very ferocious and will fight
when pressed the least bit. The children,
mounted on their we'll trained horses and
carrying in their hands the lasso which
they so skillfully handle, dash headlong
after these hogs over all sorts of ground,
up and down steep banks, catching one
out of nearly every drove they scare up.
Last summer they caught over thirty in
this manner. When the lasso is thrown
on the head and feet Of hog and he is
stretched out so that he can do no more
harm, the boy gets down from his horse
and ties the hogs feet with some rope
carried along for the purpose. His horse
stands as firmly without as with rider,
being trained to that work and never
having done any other. A wagon is sent
for the hog, which is placed in strong
pen and soon tanned so that it can be
fatted for market. A few days ago the
boy was riding in the underground when
he started up deer. Putting spurs to
his horse he got near enough to throw
his lasso on his horns, but he did not
have time to fasten the other end of his
lasso to his saddle before the fleet-footed
animal was off with rope and all. These
children have been riding constantly ever
since they were big enough to sit on a
horse. e.-Stoekton Cal. Mail. .,,

TRIUMPHS OF A MAINE MAN.

We are ever pleased to chronicle the
achievements of the sons of Maine. Mr..
Frederick Allen Grover. Of Paris, native
OF Maine, has invented telephone, known
as "The Grover Telephone" which has
oil France by the ears. In recent lee
ture by NJ. Jamin, before the French
Scientific Association the great scientist
classes Mr.. Growers invention among the
principal telephone and gives the benefit
Of full description and illustrations. A
board Of French telegraph officials was
appointed soma. months since to investi-
gate the merits of the various telephones,
and in its report lately made public, the
preference is given to the Grover Tele-
phone for both long and short lines. Up
on the heels of their announcement came
an order from London for two thousand
telephones, TO be delivered as fast as pos
sible. In France, applications of new
subscribers are made much faster than
they can be attended to. Indeed it seems
that Mr.. Grover has struck bonanza
that must yield him fabulous wealth and
untold honors. Mr.. Grover was born in
Sedgwick, Hancock County, and is now
but twenty eight years Of age. He is
son Of a Baptist clergyman, the late Rev.
H. B. Grover. His mother, Mrs. Maria
Cover Sargent, present wife of Hon. w.
G. Sargent, resides at the present time in
Augusta. She is lady well known for
endowment of mind and Of heart

boon companions, his venerable employer.
1t was several seconds before he could re-
cover his speech. 81 beg your pardon.
Mr.. Hudson, you must excuse me; ex.
pected friend this evening, and in the
dim light of the entry thought you were
he. Walk in, sir, and sit down"
Mr.. Hudson entered the room, and was
somewhat surprised to see the identical
three young men who had insalted him
on the street; they were smoking cigars,
and had their feet elevated on the bureau,
mantlepiece and bedstead. Mr.. Hudson
saw at once that he was in confusion, and
Sehmour's actions were painful and awk-
ward. Nevertheless his employer started
conversation. and had been there but q
few minutes when footstep was heard
on the stairs; the door opened little, and
bottle of champagne came rolling across
the floor, followed by round Dutch
cheese, bunch Of cigars and two more
bottles. Sehmour looked dreadfully dis
tressed, but could do nothing. 1t was a
fourth friend, who had been out after re-
freshments, and took this facetious mode
Of introducing them into the chamber.
Mr.. Hudson thought it time for him to
90, 80 he took his leave and returned to
his home.
Mr.. Hudson was not long making up
his mind as to which one of his clerks
would make the most faithful and eff
cient partner, and in less than a week it
was announced in the papers that Her
bert Bond was member Of the firm Of
BENJAMIN Hudson & Co. 1t was hap
py day for Herbert, and it was not many
years before he managed the whole busi-
ness himself; and he became wealthy
man.
Chas. Sehmour knew very well the rea-
son Of Mr.. Hudson's choice, and he al
way had to regret having formed such
improbable acquaintances as were assem-
bled in his room that unlucky night

VIRGINIA's BIG OYSTER TRADE.-The
President of the Oyster Packing Associ-
alton at Norfolk, in Virginia, gave some
interesting facts relative to the growth of
yirginia's Oyster trade. The number OF
bushels of she'll oysters taken this year
from Virginia waters will be three millions,
and more than one.third Of the amount
is now handled by the packers Of Norfolk
and Portsmouth. The average value OF
oysters is about thirty-fvc cents bushel'
which would make the value Of the oys-
tiers handled in Norfolk yearly reach
SS5O,OOO. The oysters are shipped In
every conceivable manner known to the
trade. The business has been built up
since the close of the war, and is steadil!
increasing.

THE TWO CLERKS.

In Market Square, in the pleasant cit.
of Merryport, was crockeryware store
over the door Of which was black sigl
bearing in gilt letters the name Of Benja
min Hudson. For many years this crock
cry store had been there, with the grea
pitcher in front for sign; indeed, wher
Mr.. Hudson first opened the store, some
forty years previous, he was quite young
man. and the sign over his door was bright
and handsome but now his eyes haC
grown dim, and the owner was called
"Old Hudson" by all the boys and girls
of the city.
Mr.. Benjamin Hudson had grown ricf
in his business, for nc had conducted it al
himself, and taken care that nothing
should be lost or wasted by neglect. He
had made mistakes, TO be sure, as every
man will make some blunders during q
lifetime. by skilful management he quick
ly recovered from them. Sixty-fiive years
had begun to bend over Mr.. Hudson's
shoulders and dim the brightness of his
eye, and he found business more irksome
than it formerly had been.
Il must have partner" said he one
day to himself as he sat before cheerful
fire. IL must have some one interested
in the business who is young and active,
and will take the weight off my should
ers, for do not care to do as l used to. v
Now, in Mr.. Hudson's employ were
two young men-Herbert Bond and Chas.
Sehmour. They had been with him an
equal length of time, and had performed
their duties faithfully and well. Charles
did his work quickly, and had smart
way about him that made people think
he was greatly superior to Herbert, who
had more quiet demeanor and accom-.
plished quite as much without making {
great stir about it.
81 must have Herbert or Charles for {
partner" soliloquized Mr.. Hudson; "or

COUGH AND THE OXFORD
STUDENTS.


An amusing story is told of John b.
Cough, when he went to Oxford to ad-
dress the students on temperance. A few
evenings before an eminent man was to
have delivered q lecture at Oxford on
"The Evils of Tobacco" The boys got
into the hall an hour beforehand. each
with what DR.. Carroll drolly emphasized
as college pipe in his mouth. The
time for the lecture arrived, but II the
lecturer did, it was never discovered-he
was not visible through the fog. The
students sent word to Mr.. Cough when
he came that they wouldn't have any
temperance, and advised him not to per-
si,t in lecturing. But he went to the
hall. For twenty minutes he spoke in
pantomime amid the deafening catcalls
of the boys. Finally he stepped forward,
demanded British fair play and offered to
whip every one of the 500 singly. This
offer was loudly cheered and promptly
accepted. and big six foot athlete was
sent up on the stage. Cough, who is a
little man, backed of as the big fellow
approached him and explained: "My
friends, you evidently misunderstood me.
This is to be an intellectual contest, not
prize fight" The students cheered again
at this evidence of the Americans shrewd-
ness and ordered the debate to proceed.
The college lad was, therefore, obliged
to tackle the temperance champion. He
was at disadvantage, but he quoted
Scripture and reminded the plucky lee
turer that it was one Of the apostles who
wrote to Timothy young man too.
like themselves-to take little wine for
the stomach's sake and for his other in
firmities. The lads shouted vociferously
at this, and wanted to know how Cough
could get around it.
Cough slowly examined the si1-footer
from top to toe and then said, my friends,
look at this athlete, this fellow with mus
cles like steel, who can WELD the club Of
Hercules, who can bend an English yeo-
mans bow, who could knock down an OF
with the blow Of q hammer. He is the
personifcation of health and strength,
but he thinks he needs little wine for
his stomach's sake"
Coughs inimitable manner Of saying
this had tremendous effect. The stu
dents fairly yelled with delight and their
defeated champion retreated. Another
was sent up. He was the Intellectual
giant Of his class, in contradistinction to
the six-footer. He, with much self-con.
fidence, made a finished argument for
liquor drinking, based on Christ's chang
ing the water into wine at the wedding
feast. His comrades cheered him to the
echo, and thought his argument unanswer-
able, and Cough was chaffed for his de-
feat. Young men, said he, solemnly,
II admit that your champion has fore
stalled me. He has said to me just
what | came here to charge you to do.
Drink all the wine you can find that is
made entirely out of water"
