Rich Rock

Last Sunday we were shO%n some
very rich specimens taken from the
hills south of town. The exhibitor re.
fused to locate the mine more definitely,
because he wanted to make sure of his
location. The specimens were "iousy'
with gold, and he says there is 'p;s
more of it in sight. a mine like that
would fix the most of US above the
cares of life.

is not infrequent that we see reports o
remarkable finds of amphibious reptiles
in strange places aud at great depths
in alluvial deposits; but it somewhat
staggered our belief when we were
shown on Thursday Of tins week a well
developed, natural looking, lively frog,
about two inches in length, taken from
the solid rock in the Barbee & Walker
mine at depth of 800 feet from the
surface. The miner who discovered
this stranger in his prison house says:
81 had put off ii blast and cleared away
the rock and was spotting place for
another hole with pick, but the rock
appearing somewhat soft, continued to
pick and opened up cavity about as
large as my fist, and out jumped this
frogr' OF course the escaped prisoner
was captured and brought to the COM
pany's office and placed OH exhibition
in glass case. A careful inspection
revealed the fact that it had no mouth,
and evidently no appetite, as it showed
no inclination to partake of proffered
frog food. Its breathing apparatus
seemed all right, although it appeared
distressed with too much air or warmth. |
Its eye-sight was evidently good,
from its actions, and it seemed to
take lively interest in its new

The Leader thus tells Of the miseries
of Eureka man who fell among
thieves at the bay: "On his way to
San Francisco two weeks ago Commits
sioner Campbell had his valise stolen at
Truckee. When he reached Sacra-
mento he placed the matter in the
hands of a detective. The Commits
sioner returned to Eureka some days
since, and now he is notified of the
arrest of the baggage robber. When
nabOed he had on some of the Com
missioner's clothes. Mr.. Campbell has
been summoned to go down and iden-
tify them, in order to convict the thief.
The trip, if he goes, will cost him about
$500, whereas the valise stolen con-
tanned about $50 worth of wearing ap-
parel.

The Picnic.

Some twenty-five cars came dOwr
from Virginia City and Gold Hill or

by the ritlemen:

The score was changed by crediting
the Carson target with 772. The Car

the corks out of two bullseys already
made. The scorers tagged 49,, but
the two discarded bullseys made the
change. The corks were fonnd in the

THE CUNNING PEDDAER.
He Takes Advantage or Feminine Char
octeristics.

The travelling peddler is the man {
all men who learns to profit by the pc
culiar streaks of a woman's disposition
When one of these pack bearers strike
a house he always gets in. No woman
has the heart to close the door on ma,
with pack. She wants to see wla
the pack will look like when open
Thus the peddIer is as welcome as a
| loved brother just arrived from a
foreign tour. He enters the room with
considerable show of staggering under
the enormous weight of the big pack
which does not weigh over twenty-fi re
pounds. This excites pity. He does
not open the casket Immediately. He
is too sharp for that. He keeps delay
Ing little while; he dries his brow
with red handkerchief and throws
the woman into an excitement of ex-
pectation until she is about ready to
burst with curiosity. With an eXasper-
ating deliberation he unbuckles the
straps and slowly unfolds the treasures
of tinery. the very sight Of which
causes the woman's eyes to glitter like
q hungry mastiff's fixed upon bone.
Her original intention was to simply
enjoy herself at the peddler's expense,
looking at the goods. The pack once
opened, however, and she belongs to
the hideous little man for the time being.
She gets closer to the pack and leans
over close to the peddler. He unfolds
and spreads out his wares one at time
and whispers,
"Re-al lace. Vot do you tink of real
lace for Won tollar yard Cost you
nine tollars at Cnhn's."
allow can you sell it SO cheap she
asks. She don't want to buy the lace,
but would like to learn the particulars.
The peddler looks about him as if he
Sheriff's posse was about to
pounce down upon him.
"You wont gif me away, SO hel-lup
you gracious?'
His voice sinks to a whisper AS he
lrives the last nail with the magic
word,
"Schmuggled."
The woman is made partner of the
mans guilty secret.
Happy moment.
She slips into the next room, dives
ntO little bag and fishes up twenty
ollars she had been saving for closing
ut sale and begins to buck at the ped
}er's pack. She is seized with a feel
1g somewhat akin to a gambler at
aro bank, and invests her cash in a lot
shoddy second hand store goods at
lst about double the price she could
ave secured them by trading at reg
lar store in Carson. The excitement
appearing in .'schmuggled" goods
made in New Jersey is worth to her,
Owever, good deal more than the
xtra ten dollars she paid for her bad
argain.
