The mule is a hard case; the old

every where they ought not to, but
none of them can hold a light for the
careless, rolicking, fun-loving small

Frenchman's flea: put your finger
on him and he is not there. Build a
fence around him, only to find him
on the outside. Shut him up in the
house and find him on top of the
chimney. Put him to sweeping the
yard, and find him at the safe hunt

mill and hear of him beside the road
twisting rabbit out of holler;
send him to school and find him
down the branch fishing for min.

that's harder to do than to manage
a four year old mule colt that never

be so, for We have seen them all our

it has not been so awful long ago

A PEEP INTO THE FUTURE
A. w. Roysdon, Esq, a gentleman
we'll and favorably known to this
community,is Summering atP Potter's
Landing, Maryland, breathing the
saltladen atmosphere for a lung
affection, and reading from Buckles
History of Civilization for recrea-
tion. Of the future of this portion
of Louisiana, he thus writes friend
at Bellevue:
"There may be q seeming stag
nation of affairs there now, but that
whole country, sure as fate, within
the next ten years, will receive an
impetus of improvement and there
will be development as great as
has been in any portion Of the whole
country. Such resources as that
section naturally has cannot lay dor
mant and idle. The South is just
beginning to get into a condition to
progress. The tide of development
and stimulus to activity, to Louisi-
ana, will be impaired by Texas and
Arkansas. My advice is, stick to
Northwestern Louisiana for ten
years, invest every dollar you get
into those old swamp and pine flats,
and you will be a rich man."

10 1t is very interesting to hear
a beautifnl young lady tell a fish
story-espeeially if she wears aida
moud ring. Last week, at Shreve-
port, we were highly entertained at
the recital of one of these finical leg
ends by one Of those 'lithesome,
lowy-shaped' young ladies. She
had been a-fisbing, and caught
perch "this long," measuring from
the diamond ring to the tip of her
shapely finger. 1t may have been
toad or butterfly that she caught,
for every fish in the stream struck
out for deep water as soon as they
heard her coming. But the allegory
served two purposes: showed her
ring and led to the question where
the beautiful jewel came from. She
had purchased it at the Diamond
Palace of S. f. Gordon, Texas street,
where none but "gems of the purest
ray" are kept; also, watches, clocks,
silverware, and ornaments, all of
the best workmanship and material.

The Debris Question-Whaf the Miners
VIII Do.
MARYsvILLE, November 1st.-Ths Appeal
tomorrow will publish an interview with
Judge Searls, of Nevada City, now in Marys-
vile, Of which the following is an abstract /:
The Judge said that no definite proposition
for compromise on the debris question had
yet been framed by the miners, and that no
specific and authoritative offer would be likely
to be made unless asked for by the farmers.
But" he continued, knowing the temper
Aof the miners In this matter as 1 do, | think
I may safely say this The miners will agree
to construct at their own expense stone
dam in the Yuba river ct the mouth of Deer
creek, such as recommended by Colonel Men
dell, and to make the dam high enough and
strong enough to satisfy the farmers.
They ara willing to begin work
on the dam Immediately the compromise
suggested is made. They will make such a
dam as Mendell says would be certain to
stand, and if need be would supplement it by
brush dams lower down the river. They
would not ask as a condition precedent that
the pending debris suits be withdrawn, but
would simply require that the suits remain
in statu QUO until the dam or dams had been
built and approved by proper Commission
appointed for the purpose, with the under
standing that the suits would then be dis
missed. l do not think the miners would
agree to stop work while the dams were
building, but by beginning the construction
of the stone dam immediately they would
stop more debris, during say the first sixty
days thereafter. than they could put in in
that time, and which without the dam would
be continuously flowing down stream" The
foregoing has been shown to Judge Searls
who certifes to its correctness,
