A Crowd of g Thousand.
How 1t was Attracted by pointing n Cane
 at a Undiscovered Cabbage

at a Undiscovered Cabbage From the San Francisco Evening Post The other morning two gentlemen were Hooking out of the window of a house on 1 Market street, when they observed a cabbage | roll off market wagon that was passing. Instantly over dozen well dressed and ap- parently sane persons began yelling after the wagon as though the vegetable had been gold watch or thousand dollar bill The driver stopped about half square off, look back at the cabbage, yawned and drove on. What an absurb fuss people in the street make over trivial occurrences, |" said one of the gentlemen. ''Now, I'll bet a silk hat that I could get crowd of 300 around that cabbage inside of 30 minutes, and yet not leave this room.n
 T take the bet, ' said the friend, pulling out his watch. "Are you ready ?''
 ''Yes, give the word.''
 ''It is now Il 80. Cop
 The proposer of the wager led his friend to the window, threw up the sash, and talk ing cane pointed earnestly at the mud covered cabbage with terrified expression. Presently hack-driver noticed the action and began to stare at the vegetable from the eurbstone; then bootblack stopped then b1ll-poster, messenger and merchant
 What's the matter ?' inquired German, approaching the innocent base of his national dish.
 'Don't touch it Look out there! Stand back!" shouted the gentlemen at the win dow. At his horror-stricken tones the crowd fell back precipitately and formed a dense circle around the innocent cabbage. Hun dreds came running up and the excitement increased rapidly.
 "Look out there F. frantically screamed the better, waving his cane. Take that dog away, quick!'
 Several stones were thrown at the cur that was snifing around the cabbage
 ''Take care !'' said a driver to police man, who was shouldering his way through the mass, 'It's an internal machine, nitrogly- cerlne-or something.''
 Meanwhile the sidewalk was blocked the street became impossible, women screamed and rushed into shops, and a store keeper underneath began to tie bucket on the end of a long pole with which to pour water on the devilish invention. The crowd by this time numbered over a thousand, the two gentlemen moved away from the window and sat down. In a few moments there was a hurried tap at the door, and there appeared man who had been sent as delegate from the mass meeting outside.
 'I should like to know, gentlemen" he said, what the facts are?"
 ''What facts p
 'sWhy, what there is peculiar about that cabbage out there ?''
 Nothing in the world," was the soft reply ''except that it seems to be surrounded by about thousand of the biggest fools in town. Do anything else for you.'
 The man reflected moment, said he guessed not" and retired. Before he hand ed in his report, however, Capt. Shorts watch had dispersed the mob and clubed 211 seperate persons for creating disturbance.

.- Democratic organs are fond of talking about the condition of things in Rhode Island where only one person out of every nine and four-tenths is qualified voter. Such calculations are interesting. We would commend the condition of things in Louisi- ana and other southern States to those Dem ocratic statisticians. In 1868 one in every 64 of the population voted in Louisiana; in 1880 only one in 1O3 of the population voted. The census shows that the State has gained twenty-five per cent. in population since 1868, while it has decreased in voting popula- tion about thirteen per .cent. Something of the same kind is noticeable in every southern State While the South is claiming addition al representation by reason of large increase of population, careful study of the election returns will show that there is not a propor- tionate increase in the number of those who are allowed to vote.

By law of 1871 no more slaves are to be born in that country, so that this curse will in time disappear. Under the enlightened rule of Emperor Dom Pedro all religions are tole- rated.

NOtcS from ]. \. Adam < to,

l. We note the continuance of our Dress Goods Sale. The 25c lot is conspicuous on account of the variety and excellence of the materials. The soc lot comprises goods that are really worth $1.OO. The 75c lot is really the cheapest intrinsically. The Silk and Wool Novelties which are included at this price cannot be matched. For house dresses or morning wrappers nothing could be more desirable, and yards is enough on account of the double width. Many of the styles cost $2.OO yard.
 H. We note the opening of several cases of Wool Hose Now is a good time to make selections while the sizes are all complete and the assortment of colors unbroken. Having sold our stock well down we were enabled last week to make good bargains being ln a position to buy large quantities at time when manufacturers are anxious to close out.
 IT. We note the fact that the prices of our Underwear this season are lower than any we have had the opportunity of compar- ing them with. If those in need of such goods will take the trouble to investigate the matter, they will not wonder that we make this statement so emphatically. Our stock was never so complete now. Several ca ses have just been received.
 W. We note the Knitted Goods stock par ticuIarly. Invoices from the best makers are now ready for sale. Mitts, Gloves, Nubias, Jackets Leggings, Hoods, &c., &c., in great variety.
 V. We note the arrival of new Cloakings, soft, thick, warm goods for the cold weather that is surely coming. We are adding daily to our stock of Cloaks, Dolmans, Listers, Jackets and Havelocks, all at our usual low prices.
 VI We note the replenishing of our Silk , stock. Satin de Lyon at $1.25 unsurpassed. ! Black Silk Velvets unusually good value All the shades of Satins in demand. We offer Black Silks at present extremely low. They are really cheap now, whatever the reason is, we think good Black Silks never have been on the market cheaper and certainly Silk Velvets are cheap. At $4.00 yard we show 27 inch goods that seem worth $6.O0 yard. We invite inspection of our stock.

Near what n couple of years ago was
called the "Silver Crown Mining
Camp" there is q lone miner, who has
been digging aud delving in that vicin-
ity for more than four years, thus far in
vain, however; Mt least he has failed to
mako his fortune, although he expresses
himself rs being confident that even
tually he will succeed and realize Il for
tune, which will be sufficient so sustain
him in his declining years. He shuns
notoriety, and for that reason his name
is not mentioned. When he gets out
OF supplies he ccmes into tho city and
procures n few little articles, but never
stops very long, for he is acquainted
with but few and never drinks, which
fact is certainly no detriment to him.
The perseverance and industry dis
played by this man in his efforts to
develop the mineral resources in this
vicinity, are certainly c~ommenablc, and
the "Lone Miner OF Silver Crown" has
our sympathy and hes: wishes for sue
| cess.

The friends Of Grant severely eriti-
else the utterances Of Gen. Sherman
in opposition 10 the proposition to make
Gen. Grant captain general. This dis
satisfaction with Gen. Sherman is not
so much oyer the merits Of the case as
because they regard this attitude Of
Sherman as indicating gross ingrati-
tude. Grants military friends are well
war that Sherman has been under
constant and deep obligations 10 Gen.
Grant, and but for the magnanimity of
the latter, Sherman's military record
would have suffered severely ASIDE
from these things, OF which the public
will have a clearer idea when the publi-
cation Of the records Of the war is com.
pleted, II is regarded as little less than
ludicrous for Sherman TO sneer at the
proposition to create "A new Office for
Grant, on the ground that lie cannot
Tor the life of him, see what the captain
general would have to do or OF what use
he would be.

A physician, complaining bitterly
about dull times, went to his druggist
to find out why, Mt this season Of the
year, his practice was not so extensive
as formerly; also to find out what in
ducements his brother medico offered
to attract away his patients. He was
startled when his druggist answered rs
follows: doctor, Coughs, and Colds,
are very prevalent, but every one is
purchasing HALE's HONEY OF HoRE-
HOUND AND TAR, and recover SO rap
idly there Is 10 necessity for calling
in n physician. Again, the reason that
DIR. f., on-th street, Is having so
many patients is owing to the frank
ness he adopted in prescribing in every
case Of Coughs, Colds, ETC., u bottle Of
"HALE's HONEY OF HoREuoUND AND
TAR" and finding 1t successful, he has
concluded In future that all his patients
when troubled with any disease Of the
lungs, shall Immediately commence Ia
king HALE's HONEY OF HoREuouND
AND TAR. The druggists advice was
snapped. and the almost discouraged
physician now Is considered n uccess-
full practitioner. His claims are based
upon the virtues of the medicine he
adopts, which In all cases is HALE's
