81 The rumor has in some name got
abroad that the Battle creek fiume has
been sold by Col. Tozer for $l25,0OO
But this is altogether improbable, for
the reason that the fume is mainly
owned by parties who are s @ well salts
fed with its outlook hat they would
not think Of selling. There is little
doubt that the rumor is false.

THE Penobscott is taking out some
very rich ore and generally getting
ready for the spring. When the water

cheaper then any other mine down here.

HE nEyEss Drank
Except an Occasional Sniftes When
TrayelfES.'

Yesterday m orning on the sleeper of
the up train traveller noticed an old,
white bearded gentleman trying to get
in an overcoat. The young and spry
traveller rushed to his assistance, and in
helping him with the garment, noticed a
good sized bottle of whisky protruding
from one of the inside pockets of the
coat. Being of waggish turn, he ap-
propriated the bottle, got the coat on
the stranger and then pulling out the
flask said:
"Will you take drink sir?o
The old man did not recognize the
bottle, and drawing himself up, re-
marked rather severely:
ono sir, aerer drink"
alt wont hurt you,' insisted the wag;
otis the BEST
s.Young man." said the old gentle
man, in a tone intended for the whole
car, elf you insist on drinking whisky
you will be ruined man at forty. 1t
is the curse of the land. When 1 was
a boy my mother died, and the last
thing that sainted woman did was to
call me to her dying bedside and say,
John, swear to me that you will never
touch drop Of liquor"
Here the old man clapped his hand
to his side pocket found it empty, and
recognizing the bottle in the hands of
the other, continued,
"sExcept. my dear boy, an occasional
snifter while traveiing,'" and reaching
for the flask he pressed it to his lips,
amid howl of laughter which shook
the car.

The Chronicle of last night contains a
thorough expose Of how the firm of
Crosby and Co. sell coal. A woman who
paid for 200 pounds Of coal purchased of
Crosby and &c. had it weighed right
under the dealers eyes aud it WAS sixty
pounds short. Selling coal at 400
pounds for ton ought to make coal
dealer rich in few years. A man who
INDUCES i'll such practices should not
be allowed to remain in business. The
probabilities are that numbers of fools

The Town Started.

The town Of Hawthorne appears TO
been fairly started. A short time ago
a blacksmith named Mcintyre, and a
farmer, known as "French Charley"
had quarrel over game Of cards, and
nFrench Charley" gave notice that he
was going home to arm himself. He
returned in short time, and Mcintyre;
who was on the lockout for him, shot
him as he pa ssed a door. At last ac-
counts the wounded man was in a very
critical situation. Opinion seems to be
equally divided as to the dement's Of
the case.

THE DRAMA AND TXE PRESS.
How the Latter - Continually Being
Hoo. ~iRExea.

A recent issue of the Sacramento Be-
indunges in this plain talk:
"When the Lingards We're in this city,
we took occasion to denounce them rs Il
swindle upon the public in advertising
as though they had two plays, when in
fact they only had one in their roper
toire. They claimed that they had DO
intention to deceive, which we half be-
lieved at the time, but which we now
know to have been on unmiiigated
fa!sehOod. Fridays Virginia Chronicle
has this statement, made, we suppose,
| on the authority of the management:
Owing to a mistake in the hangers
distributed around the city an impress
sion has got abroad that The Tutor
and Stolen Kisses were one and the
same play. This is a misrepresentation.
They are distinct productions, and are
as mucE, different as can be imagined,
except that they are both good They
are no such thing. They are one and
the same play, and By this time the
people of Virginia City have found out
that they have been bilked, as the Lin
CARDS probably propose to blk other
places. An honest, fair dealing,
straight forward theatrical management
through and through is as difficult to
find as a street sprinkler in Sacramento
when it is needed.n
There should be more papers like the
Bee to lash the professionals who travel
about the country hunlbugging the pub
lie. These people have been slobbored
on by the newspapers until they think
they about own the country. 1t is very
rarely that theatrical company reaches
Carson and keeps its promises with the
public. CA full company and a full
orchestra" Oh the bills really means
about half q company with supes and
sticks 10 fill out the quota aud three
pieces in the orchestra where ten are
promised. The names of people appear
on the bills who are not with the com

the boards with new names. Plays are

practiced these receptions Oh the pub

professional people travel on their

IMPURE BREATH,

Among all the disagreeable consequences
that follow the decay OF the teeth, an i'm
pure breath must be the most notifying
and unpleasant to its possessor, and it is
the mostinexcusibleand offensive in society;
aud yet the cause of it may easily be 70
moved by cleansing your teeth daily with
that Justly popular dentrifrice, Fragrant
SOZOnONT. It purifes and sweetens the
hrcc:a.;oiI, cGols and refreshes the mouth, and
gives !. pearl-like appearance to the teeth.
Gentlemen who indulge in smoking should
cleanse their teeth with SOZODONT, as
it removes all unpleasant odoTs of the weed.
Ask your druggist for it.
