ha with band Of horses, and the next
step was to trace out the owner OF the
herd
1t took three months to locate him
and find that he had left the youth at
Eureka. Instead Of appealing to the
newspapers with the customary "Infor-
nation Wanted month more was
consumed looking for him, when he
was at last traced to Ford a Hathaway's
ranch, and the long search ended. There
was no question as to his identity, nor
any dispute as to his being the heir to
the property. At the request Of the
administrator to the estate, Mr.. Ford
bought the boy ticket to Chicago, fur
nished him with an outfit of clothes,
etc., and short time ago started him
for his home and fortune. We are
pleased to state that there were no legal
quibbles intervening to prevent his
taking immediate possession, and he Is
now enjoying his good luck, and doubt
less contrasts his present state with his
condition two years ago, when the
swlll-barrels of Eureka were his main
dependence for living.

Puzzled Custom House Officers.

GONE forty years ago, the Governor
~ Endlcot arrived at Salem, Massa-
chusetts, from India, and there landed
several missionaries, who departed at
once for Boston to report their arrival to
the Missionary Board, leaving their
belongings at the Lafayette Hotel. There
they attracted the attention Of custom
house clerk, who, noting the presence
of a cask, suspected an evasion of duty,
and reported the matter to General Mil
ler, the collector of customs. That
official at once ordered baggage and cask
to he sent to the custom house for exam
ination, and requested that the men
would give him call as soon as they
returned to Salem. The suspicious cask
was taken to the custom-house yard,
the bung knocked out, proof glass
inserted to find out what kind of liquor
was inside, in order to fix the duty on
it. They all tasted collector, deputy
collector, naval officer, inspector, clerk,
and tribe of hangers on. They drank
it neat, they drank 1t with water, with
sugar, with biscuits, with cheese, but
could not agree what kind of liquor it
was. Bets were made; and it was final
ly agreed to leave the knotty question
to be decided by two absent Inspectors
Captain Bill Il and Captain Steve
R. At last they came. They tasted.
Captain l. said that he would stake
his reputation that it was old London
Dock brandy, vowing she had not
tasted such liquor since General Crown
ingshield launched Cleopatra's barge in
l91S." Captain R declined to put
a name to it - he said it had a flavor
different from any liquor with which he
was acquainted.
The next day the missionaries arrived
at the custom-house, to have their bag
gage passed, all save the cask of liquor.
"That must pay duty" said the Gener-
al. "Would they inform him what
spirits the cask contained ?" The
amused missionaries complied by telling
him that when they left India they
brought with them pet orang-outang,
which dying after thirty days experience
of sea life, had been put in cask of
rum for preservation. An explanation
accounting for the peculiar flavor that
had puzzled SO many experienced tasters.

Hunted by a Fortune.

A BOUT three years ago, says Eure-
IA ka New paper, a band of horses
from Iowa arrived in town, driven by
the owner and several herders. Among
the latter was a boy about seventeen
years of age, bright youth, who had
been picked up in Omaha, a waif, drift
ing as impulse and opportunity impelled
him. At this point he quarrelled with
his boss and left his employ. He had
been working for his board, and there
were no settlements to make, and he
found himself adrift among strangers
without cent to his name. For year
or more he led rough life, loafng
around the saloons, picking up a sub
sistence as best he could, and good
portion of the time depending upon the
restaurant swill. barrels for his meals,
disputing with the Chinese slop-man
and the Shoshone for the choice scraps
that found their way to those recep-
tacles.
About eighteen months ago Messrs.
Ford & Hathaway noticed the boy, took
pity on his forlorn condition, and sent
him out to their ranch, where he has
since been employed in doing chores and
making himself useful. In the mean
time an uncle of the youth, wealthy
old bachelor, had died, and left him
property valued at $4,000. This was
situated at his old home, in Illinois, and
of course the youngsters whereabouts
was an object of Interest. Advertise
ments were inserted in the leading
papers of the East, but six months pass
ed away and no tidings came. Finally
Information was had of his leaving Oma-

The Philosophers Stone.

The eccentric but brilliant John Ran
dolph once rose suddenly up in his seat
in the House of Representatives and
screamed out at the top of his shrill
voice:
(" Mr.. Speaker have discovered the
philosophers stone. 1t is Pay as you
gol"
John Randolph dropped many rich
gems from his mouth, but never q richer
one than that.
Pay as you co." and you need not
dodge sheriffs and constables.
" Pay as you co. and you can walk
the streets with an erect back and a
manly front, and you have no fear of
those you meet. You can look any man
In the eye without fiinching. You
won't have to cross the highway to
avoid dun, or look intently into the
shop windows to avoid seeing creditor.
"Pay as you go,' and you can snap
your fingers at the world, and when you
laugh, 1t will be hearty honest one.
1t seems to us, sometimes, that we can
almost tell the laugh of poor debtor.
He looks around as though he was in
doubt whether the laugh was not the
property Of his creditors, and not in
eluded in articles exempted from
attachment" When he does succeed
in getting out an abortion-he appears
frightened, and looks as though he ex-
pected it would be pounced upon by a
constable.
"Pay as you go," and you will meet
smiling faces at home-happy cherry
checked children-a contented wife-a
cheerful hearth-stone.
John Randolph was right. 1t is the
philosophers stone.

How Mike Cured Ms Pig.

MIKE FAGAN has a little patch of
Ivl ground behind his house, where he
supports few ducks and chickens and
the freshest eggs In. the neighborhood
can always be found on his premises; !;
for he never allows himself to be pos
sessed of more than g single dozen at q
time.
In addition to his stock of poultry,
Mike purchased this summer young
pig, which, after four months petting
and nursing, he prlded himself upon
exhibiting 1t to his friends and acquaint-
ances as the "swaitest crathur In the
world" But Mikes pig took sick lately
and from his coughing and sneezing
symptoms, 1t was certainly evident that
he had contracted tad cold.
Close by the residence of this Hiberian
there dwells the village physician--a
kind hearted man and very skillful-
whose practice is none of the largest.
AS he came from his house, few morn
ings since, Mike stood at his gate,
Illuminating upon the chances in favor
of his favorite young porker; and, OBJ
serving the doctor, hailed him. The
top o. the mornin' to We, docthur."
All Mike. how are you 7"
'It's very well am meself, docthur (;
but perhaps yell be tellin' poor man
wot he'll be doin' for the pig, sure ?"
"Pig |" exclaimed the doctor, with a
smile, "What pig? and what's the
matter with him 2"
"Shure he's very bad lndade, so he is.
A cowld, docthur. Snazin' and barkin'
the head off him almost, and I'd like
to know what I'll be doin' with him %
We'll, really, Mike, can't say. I'm
not pig doctor at any rate"
ITS meself as could say that sure.
But s'posin' it were baby instead-the
sweet crather-wot wud be doin' wuth
him for the cold he has 2''
WE'LL" continued the doctor, consid-
erately, =" If it were child, Mike, per-
haps l should recommend a mustard
plaster for his back, and that his feet be
placed in hot water
Its much obleeged to you, doctbur,
am" responded Mike, as the physician
passed along; and he entered his DOM
icile.
" Biddy - he added, addressing his
good woman, "we'll cure the pig, so we
will.n
And in little while the struggling
porker was enveloped in strong
mustard poultice, from his ears to his
tail. Notwithstanding his struggles
and his squealing and torture from the
action of the unyielding plaster, a tub of
almost boiling water was prepared, and
into it poor piggy was soused above the
knees. The result may be easily con-
ceived.
Next morning, bright and early, Mike
stood at his gate once more, awaiting
the coming of the doctor, who soon
made his appearance, as usual.
"Good morning, Mike; how's the
pigS"
80, be gorrah, docthur! 1t was
mighty oncivil on ye to be traitin' q
neighbor that way, so it was"
Why, what has happened, Mike 7"
Happened-is it. l put the powltis
on the pig, SO 1 did-an, he squailed
bloody murther, to be sure; an the
wull came eff his back ~

do, an bejabers, in .fve minits the hoofs

The Iberville South is strongly for Han
cock, and believes that should his own State
declare for him he will be nominated without
opposition. Give US good man for the sec
0nd place on the ticket and we are certain
that the third term supporters would, not be
strong enough to ask for another electoral
commission"

SIXTH district: THE Amite City Bsdeper-
dent heartily indorses our suggestion to urge
upon our delegates to the approaching con-
gressonal convention to use every eZertion
to secure the nomination OF man from the
Florida parishes. We are entitled to the
nomination this time, and must coatend for
it,"
The Houma Courier Ia convinced that the
nomination Of Mr.. Tilden will not tend to
harmonze the party In New YoriI, and the
result would certainly prove disastrous Can
the Democratic party afford to lose the vote
Of New York. Ii 1ilden Is nominated the
party will certainly lose that vote, and defeat
will certainly follow. In this dilemma Ham
cock is the only candidate that can harmo-
nize the politics In New York, and therefore
the only man that should be nominated. Let
us have Hancock by all means.
The Morehouse CIorioas0 thinks that the
Hancock enthusiasm in this State "may re-
suit In q serious mistake. An oyer.zealouS
anxiety to have the gallant Pennsylvania SOL
dier to occupy the White House may induce
our State convention to instrucbits delegates
as will do untold injury to the party. While
we are not an enthusiastic Hancock man, we
want the delegates to Cincinnati go untram-
meled as to use all their influence against the
old 'wlshy-washy' Tilden. By instructing
our delegates to vote solidiy FOR Hancock
the chances OF Tilden are augmented. Let
our delegates go to Cincinnati unincum-,
bered."
The Shreveport Standard does not believe
that "the Sunday law, now before the Legis-
lature, will pass that body. Saeh law is re-
pugnant to the spirit of the Democratic party,
which has always held that church and State

Christ. Render unto CRsar the things that
