A train of emigrants lost them
selves in an Oregon desert, thirty years
ago, and wandered for several days
before finding their way out. They
afterward said that they had seen a
place strewn with nuggets Of gold, but
were at the time suffering starvation
and did not suppose they would live
to care anything about the treasure.
A grizzly old man was recently en-
countered in that region He had
been searching since 1850 for these
nuggets, and declared that he would
stick to it until he died.

CHINESE TRA1Ts.-Rev. o. G. Wheeler, of
San Francisco, has delivered fiery lecture
against the Chinese. He has discovered some
peculiar traits in the Chinese mode of rob-
bing hen-roosts. "One morning, about two
o'clock-it was very dsrk-a policeman pass
ing along street in the Chinese settlement,
heard, as he thought, a rooster crow on the
roof of house. The noise attracted his at
tention and he cautiousl reconnoitered. He
soon discoverd Chinaman standing up
against chimney on the top of house, and
watched him. 1t was not long before the
Chinaman, peering into the dark in various
directions and finding, as he supposed, the
coast all clear, stepped lightly away from the
chimney, slapped his arms against his sides
and crowed so very like cock that the head
of flock in neighboring roost answered with
a real crow. Then another, farther of, hearing
him, responded, and others, more distant still,
took up the refrain, until every gallant chan
ticleer, for miles around, had given oral testi'
mony to the elegance of his manners. The
thieves knew the neighborhood, even the prem.
ises where chickens were kept, but did not
know the particular spot where the owner had
secreted them. The programme was this !:
"A Ivzen or two of them, more or less, went,
each with dark lantern, stationed in different
portions of the town, in neighborhoods where
chickens were known to be kept. The cocks
that fell in to the chorus, whose key. note
was given by the Chnaman on the house-top,
unwittingly disclosed to the watching thieves
the exact places wherethey and their fami-
lies had been secreted for the night, and thus
enabled the thieves to easily secure and carry
them to Chinatown to give cheer to empty
stomachs"

SIX AHEAD.-Sometime ago, in the south
ern part of Arkansas, an incident occurred
which will be spoken Of upon the occasion of
every election in that part Of the country.
Upon the day of the noted event, people in all
the townships exhibited their interest by going
early to the polls. Two very prominent men,
in certain county, were candidates for sher.
if, and their supporters were.s so equally divi-
ded that great concern was felt. Bets were
made, fist fights we're inaugurated; in fact,
everything was engaged in to make the elec-
ton interesting. About ten O'CLOCK the ex-
citement became so great in one township
that man was selected to ride over to the
next township to see who was ahead. The
swiftest horse was selected The man sprang
into the saddle and dashed away. The rider
was intently watched until out of sight Then
more bets were made as to which of the can
ddates was ahead. More fist engagements
were inaugurated. Finally, the man was seen
coming back. He had lost his hat and his
long hair streamed out horizontally.
"Six ahead! Six ahead!" he shouted,
when within hearing of the crowd.
"Who is six ahead?" demanded several
voices.
"I'll be dinged if know" said the man,
checking his horse, "but you may bet your
life that one of them is six ahead"

Duty Done AND CONSCIENCE RELIEVED.
The other day, over at the Alameda baths, a
timid and retiring looking man waited until
the superintendent was disengaged and then
said to him:

could lend me?"

I'd like to tell my wife that l had sorter

APLEAsANr REMEDY FOR TooTHAcHE.-
"Our cook" says T. G. Osborn, M. D, of
Greensboro, Alabama, "presented herself to
me with swollen cheek, asking for something
to relieve the toothache, from which she had
been suffering all night, and for which she re.
fused to have the tooth extracted. AS there
was nothing Of the usual kind on hand, l was
on the point of telling her to call later at my
office, or 90 to the dentist, when it occurred
to my mind that there was in the house vial
of compound tincture of benzoin, which l had
been using upon young mother as protec
ton against sore nipples. After cleansing the
decayed tooth saturated pledget of cotton
lint with the Gincture and packed it we'll into
the cavity, hoping that this would suffice for
the time, and bidding her come back in two
or three hours, if she was not relieved. was
turning away when she remarked that it might
not be necessary, perhaps, as the pain was en-
tirely gone. Supposing her faith had large
share in the relief, would not allow myself
to think that the medicine had anything to do
with the cure, any more than so much hot
water would have done. But when Iarrived
at my Office, there were two other patients
awaiting me with the same afliction, and |
determined, by way of experiment, to use the
same remedy. To my agreeable surprise both
patients declared themselves Immediately y re-
lieved and begged vial of the tincture for
future use During the winter, number of
similar cases applied and we're instantly re-
lieved by the same treatment, all expressing
much satisfaction with the remedy. In De.
cember, told the druggist of the discovery,
and recommended him to sell it to any person
applying for tooth drops This he reports
he has done, and that every one seems de-
lighted with the medicine. "-Bahimore Prac-

WISHING.

Of all amusements of the mind,
From logic down to fishing,
There is not one that you can find
So very cheap as wishing:-
A very choice diversion, too,
If we but rightly view it.
And not, as we are apt to do,
Pervert it and abuse it.
wish-a common wish, indeed
NV purse was somewhat fatter,
That might cheer the child of need,
And not my pride to hatter;
That might make oppression reel,
AS gold can only makeit,
And break the tyrants rod of steel,
AS gold can only break it.
1 wish that sympathy, and love,
And every human passion,
That has its origin above,
Would come and keep in fashion;
That scorn, and jealousy, and hate,
And every base emotion,
Were buried fifty fathoms deep
Beneath the waves of ocean.
I wish that friends were always true,
And motives always pure;
wish the good were not so few,
wish the bad were fewer;
wish that persons neer forgot
To keep their pious teachings; !,
I wish that practicing was not
So different from preaching.
wish that modest worth might be
Appraised with truth and candor;
I wish that innocence were free
From treachery and SANDER;
I wish that maids their vows would mind,
That women ne'er were rovers;
I wish that wives were always kind,
And husbands always lovers.
I wish, in fine, that joy and mirth,
And every good ideal,
May come erewhile throughout the earth
To be the glorious real,
Till God shall every creature bless
With his supremest blessing,
And hope be lost in happiness,
And wishing be possessing.

NAME OF THE GOOD SAMARITAN.

Oberlin, the well.known philanthropist of
Steinthal, while yet candidate for the minis
try, was travelling, on one occasion, from
Strasburg. 1t was in the winter time. The
ground was deeply covered with snow, and
the roads we're almost impossible. He bad
reached the middle Of his journey and was
among the mountains, but by that time he
was so exhausted that he could not stand up
any longer. He was rapidly freezing to death.
Sleep overcame him all power to resist it
left him. He commended himself to God,
and Welded to what he felt to be the sleep Of
death.
He knew not how long he slept, butsudden-
ly became conscious of some one rousing and
waking him up. Before him stood a wagon
driver, in his blue blouse, and the wagon not
far away. He gave him little wine and
food, and the spirit of life returned. He then
helped him on the wagon and brought him to
the next village. The rescued man was pro.
fuse in his thanks, and offered money, which
his benefactor refused.
"It is only duty to help one another" said
the wagner, "and it is the next thing to an
insult to offer reward for such service"
"Then," replied Oberlin, cat least tell me
your name, that may have you in thankful
remembrance before God"

name of the good Samaritan

tell me his name, permit me to withhold mine"
Soon he had driven out Of sight and Ober-
lin never saw him again.
Is it not principal charm about the story
of the good Samaritan that there is no name
given, no clue to any person, nothing by
which to locate the generous hand that did
the deed. except the generous spirit which

our soul. Prayer is phonograph: God
speaks into our SOUL and then our soul speaks
out again what the Lord has spoken. Con-
versation must always be two-sided God

A LOST HUSBAND.

One of the officials of Justice Alley was
lately waited on by man who said his name
was Smith, and who volunteered the further
information that he was about to get married.
The only stumbling block was the fact that
he would not agree to leave off drinking. He
had come to consult His Honor on that point,
and see what was advisable.
"Well, I'd promise, l guess" replied the
Justice "It is bad habit, anyhow, and the
sooner you break it off the better"
"Well, guess will" answered the man,

and said:

that, she wanted me to promise to leave of

the better for breaking it."

Democracy candidate for Governor, would
be decidedly in favor of Gen. Gary, and that
in case he is the Democratic nominee he
would be universally supported by the colored
people, Gar he says, will faithfully keep
his promises, the people have faith in his hon.
esty, and he has never been identified with
any of the outrages perpetrated in this State
for the advancement of his party. The COL

he is pictured as being by his own party, and
which was only done to do him injury, and
his opponents have great respect for his
openness of word and expression. He said
further, that even if not nominated by the
Democratic Convention, if he were to run as
an independent candidate, that upon his rec

people have that he has the courage and fear

IDLE Bo s.--Idleness is the mother of vice,
and boy who is allowed to grow up in idle
ness is pretty sure to be vicious man. The
parents of such boys have fearful RESPONSE
bility resting upon them, when they let their
sons run about at late hours Of the night, in
stead of keeping them at home reading good
newspapers and books, and training them in
to moral habits so as to become respectable
men, instead of idlers, rum drinkers, gam
blers and loafers, which is sure to be the case
with the night runners and day idlers, then
the responsibilities are increased. Give the
boys plenty to 10, and you will preserve their
morals Better tired boy than vitiated
mind.
