We bad on board, as matter OF
course. the betting young man from Chi
c4go. No steamer ever sailed that did
nSt have this young fellow aboard. and
there are enough Ut them TO last the
Atlantic for great many years. He
knew everything that everybody thinks
he knows. but does nots and his delight
was to PROFOUND q query, and then when
you half answered 1t to very soolly and
exasperatingly remark:
Bet yer . bottle ct wine you're
wrong"
The matter would be 80 simple and
enc OF 30 common repute that imme.
diately you accepted the wager, only to
find that In some minute particular you
were wrong. and that the knowing youth
had won.
For instance
Thompson, do you know how many
States there are in the Union?"
Now, any citizen of the United States
who votes, and is eligible to the Presi-
dency, ought to know how many States
there are in his beloved country without
thinking, bat how many are there who
can say of hand? And 80 poor Thomp,
son answered:
"What question OF course, I
know"
Bet yer bottle we don't"
"Done."
"There are"
And then Thompson would find him
self figuring TIE very important prob
lem as to whether Colorado had been
admitted, and Nevada, and Oregon, and
he would decide that one had and the
other hadn't, and finally state the num-
Der, with great certainty that it was
wrong.
The Chicago mans browning bet &C.
Cured the last day out. The smoking
room was tolerably full, as were the &C.
cupants, and everybody was bored, rs
everybody is on the last day. The Chi
cago man had been silent for an hour.
when suddenly he broke out:
"Gentlemen-,"
"Oh, no more bets" was the excla-
nation of the entire party. "Give us
rest"
81 don't want to bet, but I can show
you something curious"
"Well ?"
81 say it and mean it. I can drink O
glass of water without its going down
my throat"
"And get it into your stomach ?"
Certainly"
There was silence of considerable
more than minute. Every man in the
room had been victimized by this gath
erer of uncomfortable trifes, and there
was general disposition to get the bet
ter of him in some way if possible. Here
was the opportunity. How could man
get q glass of water into his stomach
without it going down his throat I'm
possible! And so the usual bottle of
wine was wagered, and the Chicago man
proceeded to accomplish the supposed
impossible feat 1t was very easily done.
All he did was to stand upon his head on
the seat that runs around the room and
swallow glass of water. IL went to
his stomach, butit did not go down his
throat. And so his last triumph was
greater than all his previous ones, for
every man in the room had been eager
to accept his wager. From that time
out had he offered to wager that he
would swallow his own head he would
have got no takers. Toledo Blade.

Fleas in the Church.

aIllllLa LuClual-
Fleas in the church carpets, perhaps
we should have said. No, that isn't ex-
actly the idea, for if the fleas would re-
main In the carpets no one would com
plain--but they don't, Despite all the
sermons and learned disquisitiOns they
are by force of circumstances compelled
to listen to, they persist in an habitual
desecration of the Sabbath by getting
in their work on the congregation. Six
days in each and every week they take
their otium cum dignitate in the carpet
and seat cushions. but the seventh day
is devoted to business. Like a collector
on Steamer day, i" they present their
t'Iittle bills,p and draw on sight" I'm
like the collector, they do not sign their
name, but receipt their claim with a
mark, When Sunday morning comes
they flock to the door, and lay in wait
for their Victims. The sexton might be
made to bear the blunt of the burden of
feeding the ficas in a well conducted
church, but then who ever heard Of a
plump and juicy sexton. The average
sexton, 1ank and cadaverous, is naught
but an aggraYation to .feas made des-
perate by weeks fasting. They scsrn
the sexton, with his impenetrable epi-
dermis and his opportunities for evading
observation and waging war of exter-
mination They want a more inviting
subject. "
Soon comes a good sister, her face
beamIng with innate satisfaction, at
peace with herself and the rest of man
kind. Slowly she moves down the cen
ter. aisle, smiles radiating from her
countenance like water from ducks
back; calmly, majestically, she ap-
breaches her pew. Suddenly, without
moments warning, her hand spas
medically grasps the folds of her dress,
her eyes glare like those of a wounded,
tortured beast, her race becomes pur-
pie hue; she seems in agony! Heart
disease? Apoplexy? No. Fleas With
a mighty effort she reaches her seat, and
with calm, unru1fled features endures
the services of the hour. This good la
dy came to church with mind framed
for the perfect enjoyment of the sermon.
Did she enjoy it? Reader, pause and
ask yourself this question: Could you
enjoy a sermon from the most eloquent
lips that ever preached the Word while
vile, detestable, starving flea was
pasturing in the small ofiyour back? 1t
is enough to make one backsfide," if
perchance one of the Duke of Argyle's
world famous scratching posts were
near at hand to assist in the operation .
Perhaps, if no better plan is suggested,
the conferences, syhods and like eccle-
sfasticaf bodies may be induced to ap-
point committees to inquire into and re-
port on the state OF the church carpets
and cushions. It would pay, for the alb
sence of fleas would certainly make
church goers better natured,, and people
are liberal when their spirits are light.

PROBABLY THE WORK OF THE JAMES
GANG.
KANSAS CRY, Mo-, July 17.-There is
considerable evidence TO show that the
train robbery on the Rock Island road
on Friday evening was done by the no
torious James gang, and it may prove
that one or both of the James boys were
present with the gang. The horses used
by the robbers in their escape were
thoroughbred animals, in the best con-
dition for the work oE hand The
horses were hitched to a fence about
fifty rods from Winston station, where
the following letter was found:

friend jim Philadelphia, says "Presi-

and power for good, and extreme and
bittery partisanship has in the judgment
of sound minds been signally rebuked
by this awful attempt on the Presi-

at Fremont, Ohio, the ex-President
said: eff the horrible. assault upon the
President was the insane act of a single
irresponsible person, as. it certainly
seems to have been, how unjustly the

by even a suspicion that it was due in
any degree to the selfshness or evil
passions of party or faction"

MINING NOTES.
Veith's hydraulic mine, Calaverasc count,
is highly remunerative.

Veith's hydraulic mine, Calaveras county,
is highly remunerative.
There is a prospect of the San Benito
county quicksilver mine being opened
shortly.
The One Thousand and One Gravel Com
pany, above Sierra City, are steadily driv-
ing their main tunnel, and are now in bet
ter-looking gravel than they have ever seen
! before.
The Calpella Flume Company has already
spent $1,000 in Mendocino county. One
half, or $4,000 shares, have been retained
by the Eastern promoters of the enterprise.
The rest are fer sale.
The North Fork claim at Forest City,
Sierra county, leased by Thomas Marriott
and others, is yielding handsome dividends.
A tract of new ground has been opened,
and large force is being worked.
The Vigilance drift tunnel, Placer coun-
ty, is being run IN further to the rich drift
ground discovered last spring, and now
hardly accessible About fifty men are EN-.
ployed at present in the different parts Of
the mine.
Fifteen men are steadily employed at the
Keystone, Downieville, mine. A large
amount of rock has been taken out which
viii average at least SIS per ton. 1t is
expected that a cleanup Of at least SIS, 000
viii be made in the spring.
John Rhodes and j T. Treadweu have
made arrangements with Augustus Tache,
and will put mp a mill on his quartz ledge.
This ledge is situated short distance
above Oregon City, Butte county, and as
yet is only partially developed.

In the Norwich mine of Calaveras county
the main shaft has been sunk 2l5 feet in
rock requiring constant blasting, and the
richness of which is constantly improving
as sinking continues. An Is inch vein of
decomposed rock was found carrying free
gold and sulphurets, which is estimated to
be from $50 to $40 rock.
The English Company commenced wash
ing in their diggings on Badger Hill, near
North San Juan recently. For the past
two or three weeks workmen have been
engaged in putting things in order, and
now work can be pushed forward without
any interruption for some time to come,
providing the water supply holds out.
Hartwell's new map of Nevada county
shows $40 claims, which represent the
greater portion of the valuable mineral
properties already discovered. Of this
number ll3 are gold quartz and 229 are
gravel. There are also several valuable
copper and iron mines in the county. The

The Philadelphia Times says physicians
and other people in that city are panied by
the spectacle, growing more common every
day, Of pale faced lads, ranging in age from
6 to 20 years, who are putting their little
lives away in smoking. Day and night
they throng the streets, where the pecu-
harly offensive odor generated by cigar
cites made of cheap psper and bad tobacco
renders their smoking as obnoxious to
Others as it is hurtful TO themselves. Every
evening before the doors of the theatres
they raise 4 cloud of foul smoke that is
equally injurious to their own rickety con-
stitutiors and TO the noses of their victims
Doubtless, also, they carry their pernicious
habits into their homes-when they are old
enough to do so without risk of the spank
ing that they deserve-thus still further
doing harm to themselves and making
other people uncomfortable.
