Stage Riding in Nevada.

In Nevada, recently. two rival coaches
started out on parallel roads, each four
team. on q gallop. A New Yorker,
being the only passenger in M coach.
took q scat with the driver. He endured
the first five miles very well, as the road
was pretty smooth, but he finally care
lesly observed:
This pace Is rather hard on the
horses, isn't itP'
"Oh. no! They are used to il. l
haven't begun to swing 'em yet" was
the reply.
III we were going a little slower l
could enjoy the scenery much better"
"Yes. 1 s'pose so, but this line isn't
run on the scenery principle"
That ended the conversation until the
horses turned q corner. and the stage
rode around it on two wheels. Then
the New Yorker remarked:
-! suppose you sometimes meet with
accidents?"
almost every day." was the brief
reply.
lis there danger of something giving
wsy?"
"Of course; but we've got to take our
chances G'lang there"
At the end of another mile the pass
enger controlled his voice sufficiently
to inquire:
"What if we should not reach Red
Hill by exactly two O'Clock? l am in
no hurry"
mo, I s'pose not, but I've got to do
is or lose ten dollars"
"Howa"
1--WE got an even ten bet that I can
| beat the other stage into Red Hill by
fifteen minutes. and / am going to win
that money if it kills a horse"
"Say, hold onr' exclaimed the other.
| as he felt for his wallet. 81 like to ride
fast, and am not a bit nervous, but
do hate to see horses get worried.
| Here's twenty dollars for you! Now
let's sort O. jog along the rest of the
way, and get 3 chance to smoke and
talk about the Indians"
"Whoa therei Come down with
you gentle. now!-take it easy, and
don't fretT called the driver, as he
pulled in. and reached for the green
backs with one hand and for his pipe
| with the other. Thereafter the New
Yorker had more scenery and less
bumps.

Said a telegraph repairer to q St.
Louis R~epubltcdn reporter: THE
world speaks of our business in a con-
temptuous way. and believes it re-
quires no more nerve and ability to fol-
low than that displayed by q smart
monkey or wild cat, but in that opin-
ion the world is mistaken. Did it ever
strike you that we are compelled often
to climb poles which are frail and rot
ten and likely to snap in twain while
we are mp among the wires? Well. if
YOU lever knew that before, let me tell
you that poles often break. and more
especially in the country, where poor
tirnber is used. A pole M snapped
when l was on it, and had l failed to
possess sufficient presence OF mind to
hang on to one of the cross pieces at
tached to the wires. l would undoubt-
edly have fallen violently to the ground
and broken my neck. The wires
stretched and let me down easy. there
by preventing what might have proved
q fatal accident"
"How about the electricity in the
wires, does that trouble you to any
great extent?" was asked by the re-
porter.
II should remark it did. 1t has been
known to knock men off the poles. As
long as we handle only nj wire there
is no danger OF our sustaining a shock.
II is when We touch two wires at the
same time with different parts of our
bodies that we get ugly shocks The
boys all hate q 'brain-fattler' worse
than any other dose"
what do you mean by . BRAIN
rattler?"
"Why, | thought everybody knew
what 3 brain-rattlcr was, but since you
ask me to explain. l will endeavor to
tell you what it is When a man is
working among the wires sitting astride
a cross-piece lear the top Of q pole it is
the most natural thing in the world for
him to rub his ear accidentally against
a wire while holding another IN his
hand. The shock produced by this
combination Of currents is simply ter
rife. l have often been shocked in this
way, and I'll tell you it made me feel
IS though my head were flying into .
thousand pieces You now understand
what . b~rain-rattler is
EVERY man who undertakes to be-
come q pole climber must learn by bit
ter experience the dangers he wishes to
avoid. A green man who knows moth
ing about the science Of electricity will
often 90 up into a network Of wires on
. damp day. while the old stagcrs stand
around and look at him rs he squirms
and kicks. This is mean. but we all
have to 60 through the same experience

STATE NEWS.

City Item: MARRIAGE IN A Con
CERT SALoOS.-It is not often that
marriages occur in public or on u
stage, but such thing did actually take
place last night on the stage Of one our
concert saloons. At midnight, as the
usual entertainment given at Hamilton
New Varieties was drawing to close,
George Clayton and Miss Eva Allen
were made husband and wife in the
presence of the audience by Judge l. w.
Falls.
Iberia Sugar Bowl; The branch of
the railroad to st. Martinsville will, we
are informed, be completed as rapidly
as possible. By the end Of next May it is
expected that the line will be in run
ming order. The body of man was
found, few days ago, near the track OF
the Morgan road, and not far from Mr..
Lossay's place. The remains were
dreadfully disfgured, and some SUSPECT
ons existed that the deceased may have
been murdered.
Morgan City Review: The Attaka-
pas brewery. New Iberia, is building up
fine business in the beer line. Messrs.
August and Victor Erath have been in-
strumental in its success. Setter water
and ginger pop are also manufactured
there in a considerable quantity. Or
ders are received from all parts of the
country, and Eraths beer is fast becOm-
ing fashionable.
Amite City Independent: The other
night Moses Baptiste shot himself in the
arm. He was at Mr.. Mix's house while
MI Mix was absent. and seeing two
men enter all adjoining yard, he got a
pistol from the house and started out to
see who they were, when he slipped and
caused the pistol to fire. His wound is
not considered serious.
Patriot Democrat: Owing to damage
done to the track BY the high water, the
cars on the Clinton Il Port Hudson
Railroad were unable to make their
accustomed trips on Wednesday Thurs
day and Friday last.. At the close
of the first week OF the second term
Centenary showed a roll-boOk upon
which were one hundred and twenty foul
names, which is greater number than
it has shown at any time since the civil
war, thus proving, that tue former glory
has not departed. All truly, snowflake

The necessities of our people and OIL
section calls for railroad from Liberty
Miss, via Clinton to Baton Rouge. The
citizens of the latter city are earnestly
moving in the matter, and the line cal
and will be pushed through provided
the people of Amite County, and Eas
Feliciana will go to work. No bette
investment should be desired by on
capitalists than the purchase of stock il
this enterprise When will our Southern
people wake up, and invest where the,
can reap the most.

TO MISSES LULA AND GERALDINE.

| volunteer to make a few remarks
about these unknown poetists, whom,
it seems, cannot agree on the pleas
antness or enjoyment Of each others
homes.
advise Miss Lula to stay in the coun-
try, if she admires it so very much, and
not bother herselfto make others like it
| if they do not care to. As matter OF
course, "every pig likes his pen the
best" Cat least pretends to- and Miss
Lula is not expected to admit that she
doesn't like the country, even if she de-
spises it. Miss Geraldine, as well as
her rival, is perfectly right to talk in
praise of her home. But my ideas about
it are, that if this slapping, slashing and
hair pulling-ln words-were stopped,
it would be more advantageous to both
of you. am forced to say, that you
two remind me of two ROSTERS fighting,
one doesn't want to give up to the other;
and so it is with you. And | suppose as
long as there is breath in you, there will
be dash first from one, then the other
and who knows but what after your
earthly career is over, you may go to
different places, and still continue to
sing the praises of your dwelling places.
All girls, this will Rerer do. I am
sure it took hours, perhaps days, to
compose and arrange your verses to
please you, And it is. strange, that Lu
la, as much as she loves the BIRDS and
all rustic things, was not ont among
them instead of bending over paper, per
in hand, and brains in a whirl. She
certainly must have been by the fire, fol
it has been very cold the last few weeks
And Miss Geraldine why wasn't she ou
treading her brick paved walks, trying
to meet some Cadet to carry Oh tiirta
ton with, instead of losing time showing
the little she knew about the country!
From what can contrive | say Mis-
Lula must be some old maid that LIVED
in the city once. where she was yer,
much sighted. Perhaps never invited
to any "s0cial town Soirees' as sh
terms them but has now moved int,
the country, where, with the assistance
, of her bit of city polish, she has takel
like shot cakes" And in such a cas-
no one can blame her. The country i
an excellent place for old maids, especi
, ally if they are from the city. You see
, know from experience.
Again, we will suppose Miss Geraldin
, to be some Of those frizzley little girls
whom the boys admire, only for whil
quick to tire of, and hard to love. Sh
bothered herself very much, to answe
Lulas poetry. "The shoe must hay
fit" or she would not have taken the,
so readily. And as to paisting ant
! wearing false hair, we know, she
, amopg the first. All city tlirts are SC
=, l think the best thing you girls can dc
is to stop that contending, The Who'll
+ of the country does not belong to Mis-
e Lula, neither does the city lie in Mis-
: Geraldine's possession, consequently it i
J best to be silent on the subject, and TAX
the advice Of Your friend,
WOULD BE PEACE-MAKER.

CURE FOR HOG CHOLERA.

A correspondent of the Kansas Far
mer, says:
"a farmer is this county, extensively
engaged in the hog business, here and
in Marshall county, and who has suf-
fered from the loss of over one hundred
hogs this year. has a remedy which he
says cures in every case. The remedy
is so simple and costs so little, that |
hope all our farmers will try it, and re-
port their success. My informant breaks
a box ofconcentrated I've into barrel
of clean water and when the lye is dis
solved, gives it to the hogs as drink. A
neighbor who had lost some two hun
dred hogs this season, tried the cure
with entire success: every one of the
hogs got well, and none have sickened
since. He says he had in his feeding
lot a hog which would weigh SOC
pounds, so nearly dead that he thought
it useless to try to save him, but second
thought said, try anyhow. So he rolled
him on his back and poured pint OF
the liquid, made stronger than in the
barrel, down his throat; and in less thar
an hour, porker was on his feet cracking
corn nearly as lively as ever" H..

A Yankee tObacco-chewer was in the
habit of declaring about once a month
that he would never chew another
piece" but broke his pledge as often as
made it. On one occasion, shortly after
he had broken off," he was seen taking
another chew. Why said his friend,
lyon told NE you had given up that
habit but l see you are it it again. "Yes, y
