Big Bender.

Several casks of native wine had been
placed outside of the house and facing
the barn-yard on a ranch near San Fran
cisco. Some of the hogs in rubbing
against n of the casks knocked out the
spigot and caused the contents to run
out. The wine formed a pool in a de-
preston in the ground, and around it all
the hogs, little and big, about the prem
ises, to the number of about thirty, CON
gregated and drank their fill, and before
any person about the place was aware as
to what had happened, all the porkers
were drunk, and going through the
queerest antics imaginable. Some were
frisky and full of play, others belligerent
and staggering around hunting up
fights; some Numbering around in an
imbecile way. walking in a cork-screw
style, and stumbling over the least OBJ
struction that lay in their path, while
several of the larger hogs, that had man
aged to get on the heaviest loads, were
drunk and incapable of motion. Those
who saw this queer performance say
that it was the most apt illustration of
the saying ''drunk as a hog" that they
ever witnessed, while the inebriates
acted wonderfully like humans in a sim
liar state of debauch. The hogs were
all 'fblind drunk" before they could
drink up all the wine, and the balance
of the grape juice was turned into a tenn
peranoe beverage by turning a stream of
water on it. The hogs were all blear-
eyed and stupid the next day, and from
their actions seemed to say that their
chair pulled dreadfullv."

With waiting and Wishing our courses we pave,
We wait for the port as we battle the wave;
It's waiting forever from cradle to grave.
Waiting fo1 morn, 90 serene In Its light;
Waiting for noon-day, % brilliantly brighti
Waiting at eve for repose in the night.
Waiting for zephyrs in spring-time that blow;
Waiting for summer and flowers that grow;
Waiting for winter and swift-falling snow.
Waiting is ever the bosom's refrain,
In moments OF pleasure and moments OF pain;
Waiting, though stricken again and again.
Waiting in childhood for youths joyous time;
: Pm waiting" says Youth, "but IN certainly
climb
To the top of the ladder on reaching my prime"
In manhood awaiting the time when he may
Find rest on q caimer, q happier day,
When age shall relieve from the worrying fray.
Waiting when Fortune sheds brightly her smile;
When choice are the pleasures the pathway beguile
There aiwaysis something to wait for the while.
Waiting in poverty, anguish and grief;
Waiting for heaven to send US relief,
Telling the heart that the trial Ii brief.
Aye, waiting for Joys that win never appear;
Waiting for voices we never shall hear;
Waiting for moments that never are near.
Waiting when SHINING and worn in the strife,
With p~enitent throbbings the bosom is rife,
Waiting the dawn Of q holier life

~Ornamenting q Dog.

Once a man had a dog which dident
have no tail, the dog dident, COS it was
cut off wen it was little, but Frankly,
that's the baby, he is little, too, yes in
deed, like puppies. So the mans dog
erode up without no tail for to waggle,
but n night sun notify boys they got a
peece of old rope out of a ship yard, and
sum pitch, and fastened the rope onto
the end of the dogs back with the pitch
like it erode there. Then that dog was
prowd like he was a new dog on a old
tail, an he went swellin around a mung
the other dogs, a tryin for to waggle it
til he most broke his back. But he cud-
emit lift it of the ground, and after q vile
it was drug acros a cigar witch a Teller
had threw away, an it got a lite, the tail
did, and had a smoke its own self. Then
the dog it lied down like it was a goin to
sleep, and it said to the other dogs:
''There wasent never any pup wich GUIDE
be SO cool and callum like me vile his
tail was a house afire. I OF to be hired
out to teech fortitude to Cristion marters.
just wake me up wen its oil burt of, cos
have got a important engagement"
But when it was Of of, and the fire was
got hold of the cake of pitch onto the
end of his back, he dident have to be
woke up, % he woke the hwole town ur
hisself.-Little Johnny.

suspected murderer, and to escape the
gallows established an alibi by pro-
ducing the watch which he had stolen at
a certain time and place. That brought
him in unpleasant proximity to the

"Sure enough" said Charles, 'fbut
there are no caves on this island that I

"There must be, for I know Uncle

had about 500, 600, and he was said to

more in the paper" said Charles. "Let's

there is anything in that" So they

laugh over the matter. The island had

it.might be in the other.

he assembled the bluff and began to
search for some signs of the cave. He
found nothing there, however, and re-
turned to the house to get warm. and to
think the matter over a little. After
half an hour he started out again. This
time he started for the base of the bluff.
Arriving there he began a systematic
search, pulling away the bushes and
moving such fiat stones as seemed to
cover anything that looked like an OPEN

weighing perhaps half a ton, which

MINERAL WELLS, Pslo Pinto(
County, August "a, 1881.
This new place is in Palo Pinto county,
about seven miles west Of Milssp station, on
the Texas & Pacific railroad. MIR. Lynch,
some five years ago, purchased of the Franco
Texan Land company eighty acres of land
10 Milssp valley. Abouttwelve months ago
he had the we'll drilled in his yard, ninetys
three feet deep, and commenced to use the
water for drinking and all household pur-
poses. In the course of two months he dis
covered that bis eyep, which had been dis,
eased for several years, had been entirely
cured; his wife who had suffered from rhou
matism for several years, had ALEC been
cured. The curative prop 1rtieG of this wat Or
becoming known to the neighbors. several of
hem used It to great advantage. In this way
he qualities of the water became, and is.now
generally known throughout the state.
The original we'll affords about sixty gal
Ions of water per day, and is so distributed
as to give abou! half gallon TO each head Of
the family in the morning, and thereafter
about three gallons per hour 10 drawn and
distributed by the quart.

water to prove beneficial to Mrs. w. Her
health has improved materially. Ny eyes
have been weak for about six
years, and have not been
able to read newspaper without glasses for
all that time. My sight has 80 far improved
that lean read the HERALD with tolersble
ease without glasses, and have good reasons
for expecting my sight to be entirely rostor-
ed by the 10 b Of September, at which time
shall return TO Dallas.
Icannot give tho mineral properties of the
water, but it is strongly impregnated with
magnesia and arsenic, and In every instance
when properly used, 80 far as l know, has
proved beneficial. My general health Is bet.
ter now than for several years. Other wells
will be drilled, and from appearances l
would say that an abundant supply of water
will coon be attained. w.
