From the Laramie Boomerang.
Much has been said of the fy Of the pc.
riod, but few write about him who il bald
headed.
Hence We say word. It b Of no use any
more to deny the horrible. truth. Although
~ beautiful - . peri In Tother ways, our
tresses on top have succumbea TO TIE incleu-
eBcyiof the weather, and our, massive brow
our neck. Nature makes all things even. II
man be possessed of such rayishing beauty
and such winning ways that his power might
become dangerous, she makes him bald
headed.
That Is our fy.
When we have our hat on and 20 chaseing
down the street with that camel glide Of ours,
every one asks who that noble looking Ap-
ollo with the deep and melancholy eye Is |;
hut when we are At the Office, with our hat
hung up on the French walnut side board,
and the sun comes softly in through the rose
wood shutters and lights up the shellac polish
on our intellectual dome, we are not 20
pretty.
Then IL Is that the ny, with gentle tread
and seductive song, comes and prospects
around on our bump Of self-esteem, and
tickles us and makes US mad.
When We get where forbearance ceases 70
be virtue, we haul OF and slap the place
where he was, while he goes over to the ink
stand and snickers ct US. Alter he has
wsded around In the carmine ink awhile he
goes back to the bump OF spirituality aud
makes some red marks over 1t. u.
Having laid on his claim under the new
mining law, he proceeds to sink IL. .a..
If We write anything bitter these days |;
II We say aught of our fellow-man that Is
disagreeable or unjust, aud for which we
afterward get licked, 1t is because at times
W. get exasperated aud are not responsible.
II the fy were large and weighed 200
pounds, and came In here and told Us that II
we didn't take back what we had said about
him he would knock out the window with
our remains and let us fall hundred feet
into the busy street, IL wouldn't worry rs 30
|
much, because then we could strAngle him
with one hand while we wrote column sdi-
torial on Conkling with the other. We do
that frequently. But little fragile insect,
with no home and no parents, and only four
or five million brothers and sisters, gains our
confidence, and then tickles our scalp till We
have to write with . sheet Of tar roofing over
our head.
Then he comes in and helps Us read our
proof. We don't want him to help, but he
insists on making corrections and putting
punctuations in the wrong place, sud putting
full stops where they knock she sense all out
Of the paragraph.
II the Hy could be removed from our path
way, We would march along in our journey
to the tomb In way that would be the envy
and adm,ration Of the civilized word. As II
IS, We feel that we are making very hand
some record.

PAiladelpAia Times
Mr.. Robert p. Porter, who has charge of
the statistics Of the wealth Of the United
states under the present census, gives some
very interesting facts respecting the distribu-
tion Of the National dsbt. The registered
bonds are distributed about a follows: The
New England States own about eleven per
centum; the Middle States forty-three per
centum; the Southern States . little over
two; the Western States little over eight
and half, and other corporations about
thiry-ive and half The difference In the
number Of bondholden Il somewhas signiH-
cant. New York State owns nearly S2l0,-
100000 Of these bonds, and there are les
than 1900 holders, while Massachusetts,
with 80, ,000, 900 Of tonds, has less than H.
600 holdss. Nj. Porter says the debt il not
. popular loan, but that II y owned BY les
than a00, 900 pesons, and It y probable that
i,5oo persons own over s4l0, ,oo0, 900 or the
registered bonds. This 10 held in smounts
exceeding $4,000. Many Of the banks,
however, hold small amounts In srsst, -
thas 10000 does mot represent oil the hold

According to the very best authority the
town of Harrisburg now contains from
twenty-five to thirty houses. and new
ones are going up every day. The
AUX Indians have hocked there from
the neighboring coasts, and now number sew
eral hundreds. A new wharf is being built,
and great activity is manifested in every
way. Nearly every day new and rich lodges
are discovered in and near the Takou mining
district. The mine already mentioned as
eight miles from Rockwell is called the Pro-
violence mine, and is rich in free gold. One
of the experts, whose policy it is to under
value the news to those on the ground, can
not help but admit the richness of the quartz.
and manifest a strong faith in the hidden
wealth of the district by their long stay.
The snow is still very deep in the mountains
IN Jne vicinity OF Jne Dllnes ana only III one
or two instances has it been cleared away by
spade and shovel A highly reliable private
letter, just received from Harrisburg, says:
Every expert have conversed with admits that
the country is rich in gold, they doubt not that
more valuable mines will be discovered inland and
farther to the north. The story | in one OF
your papers about the miners making from So to
s25 per day in the placer diggings is all a hoax.
Experts say that the position OF the lodges and the
confguration Of the land precludes the existence of
any such pla,er dggings. There was placer dig
giug camp with a fidme etc in position on the in
let about three miles from Rockwell, and possibly
the next steamer may bring gold from these dig
gings but up to the time of my arrival, and dur
ing my three-days' stay, not ounce
OF gold has been tax n from the placer
diggiUgs. | was on a prospecting tour
in the Chilcat District on Portage bar, and
found very rich copper quartz; but my time being
limited, prevented me from following it up. No
man with gun and fishhook can starve in the
county. TIE forests abound in game of every
kind and the rivers and bays are teeming with the
most delicious fish. couple of grouse can be pur

cents, and other articles in proportion.

Cowboys Making Things LivelJ-Gne OF
them Brought TO Grief by C0nrade-


Tucson, May 20th.-A special to the Star
from Galeyville, California district, twenty
miles south of San Simon station, says that
there were lively times there yesterday.
Eight cowboys, with the notorious ringlsader
&c Curly Bill, were making matters quite in
teresting, when Jim Wallace, Curly Bills
next best man, pulled his pistol ON Deputy
Sheriff Breckenridge, which gave offense to
Curly, who command Wallace to apologize,
which be did. After taking a few drinks,
Curly and Wallace had some words, when
the former said, Il guess | will kill you on
general principles" Wallace stepped out of
the saloon, and as Curly came out Wallace
fred, the ball entering Curly's neck, passing
through and coming out at the right cheek
Wallace was arrested, had hearing, and was
discharged. He at once sprang for his horse
and dashed off for parts unknown. Curly
Bill is supposed to be mortally wounded. He
is the same desperate who killed Marshal
White Of Tombstone last fall, and with his
gang some two or three months ago took in
Charleston, entered church near by during
service and made the minister dance before
his congregation while his gang protected the
doors. he, with Wallace, took in Contention
last March, and they have several times
taken Gsleyville. He is about % years of
age, from Texas, and has sent many a victim
to an untimely grave.
Miguel Siquio was hanged at Florence,
Pinai county, to-day. His neck was broken,
and he expired without struggle.

Arrival of the Overdue Steaner-A
Broken shaft the Cause of The Delay.
SAN Francisco, May 20th.-The steamer
State of California is off the Heads in tow of
the tug Monarch. She broke her main shaft
Sunday off Cape Blanco, and continued under
sail until past Cape Mendocino, where she
was met and taken in tow by the United
States lighthouse steamer Msnzanits. Off
Duxbury Reef the Monarch came up and re-
lieved the Manzanita.
The following extract from the log of the
steamer explains the nature of the accident .
inlay 10Th, at A. M, while running before
a brisk gale with all sail set, the main shaft
broke in the after compartment, filling the
same with water. The ship preached to,
splitting the sails before they could be
secured. Laid hove-to for twenty-four hours
to repair sails, and were making our way to
port under sail, when we were taken in tow
by the steamer Mazanita."
The steamship reached her dock at 11:40 A.
NJ, and amid immense cheering the gang
plank was run out. At least 1000 people
were on the wharf.
The passengers adopted a resolution prais-
ing the conduct of Captain Debney and the
officers of the steamer, and stating that they
were made as comfortable as circumstances
would permit.
