Doomed to Disannointment.

Two Tucson colored men, who have
 resided in this vicinity for the past two years and a half and by their strict
 economy had managed to save a few
 "doby's," concluded that they would buy
 a prospecting outfit and make for the
 hills to dig for the preciousmetal After
 a great deal of figuring on the part of
 Hironimus, they came to the conclusion
 that they had enough money to purchase a months supply of grub, also the nee
 essary tools and htve just g j0 left for
 etceteras. Sam was selected a commit tee of one to make the purchases, while
 Il. went in search of d friend who
 owned span of mules and a wagon,
 and as he expressed 1t: "He was sure
 dat he could get de loan of dat team
 from Old Zac. tD haul dat grub to de
 desired spot But he was doomed to disappointment, for Old Zac. had been
 buckiug -he ''tiger" and playing card "y5,' which never was known
 to make keno, so frequently that
 he was completely swamped and
 was compelled to mortgage the team. The announcement of the fact almost broke His heart, but when he shortly afterwards met Sam and dis closed to him the situation, after holding caucus, they both agreed tO buy a burrO with what money they had left. They went from one corral to another, but the price asked vas far above what capital they had on hand, so they gave 1t mp as bad jGh While they were standing in front of Congress Hall, and just as Sam vas on the point of going round tO the grocer to cancel the order, what vel come sound should they hear but the auctioneer, saying: Who'll give the first bid? Start this burro at some thing" San started it at 8 J0, and as no one in the crowd seemed anxious to bid any more, 1t was "knocked dow" to him at that figure. An hour or SO later as they were busily engaged loading grub, tools. etc. on that burro, he, for some uuaccozntable reason, became fractious, and in doing so. he got Hi. entangled in the rope with which they were making things secure on the pack-saddle. When
 Hi was firmly fixed the burro started down street with his new master drag ging on the ground close at his heels. As they shot down street 1t didn't look like a funeral procession, they were not going slow enough, and, furthermore, there was too much noise, for Hi, every time he cou catch breath, would sing out to Sam; Fo' Gods sake, nigger, cut de belly-band, or Tze a gonnerr' Sam, all the while, doing his best to keep up with the circus, but he never did catch up until it, the procession was stopped at the upper end of town. The result of the catastrophy was, that all the kinks in His hair were straightened, and when the physician arrived he was at once ordered to the hospital, and the pros necting WIS postponed ind9iinItely.
