1T WOULDN'T WIN.
How a Z. & T. Butcher and His
Frail Cnarmer Got Badly
Left.

A pretty good one was gotten of a, the
expense of a X. a. L. news butcher, a
couple of nights ago, at one Of the princi-
pal hotels of our city. On the nOrth-bOund
train, on which the butcher was selling his
wares, was a fair but frai, sister who de-
sired to stop over night in Sedalia. This
much the orange and peanut vendor learn
ed from brief conversation with her, and
il was arranged that they should stop at
the same hotel, where they would enjoy
each others company for the night. 1t
must be played cunningly, however, so as
to avert the suspicion of the hotel people.
When the train arrived. the butcher and
I. 5. went in company TO the hotel, where
the former said he weuld like to secure a
room, as would also the lady. The clerk
assigned the butcher to No. 81, and was
about to call the porter to show him to
bed, when the slick young man said;
what room are YOU going TO give the
young Lady,"
This interrogation settled it, The clerk
dropped on the game instantly, so de-
termined to balk the butcher in the plans
he had arranged
IL guess" said the clerk, 'I'll put her in
No. -" and that number was marked OPP
posite her name on the register.
This seemed to satisfy the peanut man.
and Le retired, and lutte later the frail
female was shown to room No. %, the por-
ter who accompanied having been made
aware of all the facts in the case. Now, be
il known, there is no No. - in the house,
hut the clerk placed said number on the
register merely as blind for the news
butcher.
At III o'clock all was quiet about
the house, when The clerk heard some one
walking noiselessly in his stocking feet in
the hallway above, and the porter was
sent to investigate. He crept up stairs and
soon discovered the butcher providing
through the hall, carefully examining all
the doors to ascertain the number
thereon. Throughout the es,ire build
ing he searched, but to no pur-
pose, so retired to his room,
donned his apparel and returned down
stairs, when he endeavored 20 bribe the
reporter to show him where No. az was
located. 1t was no 60, however, as the
trusty employee refused to divulge the
ladys whereabouts, and the butcher was
compelled to spend the remainder of the
night i'm the solitude of his own chamber
The story got out, and if you want to see
an angry man, all that is necessary is to
ask the butcher if he is rooming in No. y.

That Was It.

"Sir!" began a Detroiter as he en-
tered grocery store the other morn
ing. "Sir! ordered some butter of
you Yesterday"
"Yes-ah-I know, meant to have il
sent up. but forgot it. You shall

"Sir the butter came up on time"
"Oh-ah-it did, eh? Well, I'm sorry

LONGWOOD'S LAMENT.
The Contractor Has Thrown Up
His Job and They Receive
No Mail.

Mr.. Joseph Butler, who resides near
Longwood, dropped in at the BAzoo Office
this morning and says the people OF his
section are highly indignant at the manner
ia which the mails from Sedalia TO that
point have been carried for two months past.
1t is on route No. 28,3S1, and the original
contractor is Mr.. Hawkins Taylor, who is
now reported to be in Washington. Taylor
sub-let the contract to Mr.. Adam Rhine, a
QUE armed Mexican veteran, who faithfully
performed his duties until two months
ago, when he gracefully retired.
Since that date the people OF Long
wood and vicinity have been greatly an
noyed on account of the manner i'm which
the mails have been delivered al that Office,
they often going for several days without
a mail.
AS it now stand, the postmaster at
Longwood has to send to this city for the
mail, and in order to do SO deputy has to
be sworn in on each occasion. Any farmer
or citizen who is coming to Sedalia is
pressed into service, and thus the people
of that neighborhood are permitted to occa-
sionally hear from friends at a distance
and the outside world in general.
Mr.. Taylor, the contractor, gave bond
in the sum of $1,000 for the faith
full performance of his duties, and it
looks very much as though this should be
declared forfeited.
When Mr.. Rhine threw up his contract,
the postmaster at LoRgwood, Mr.. Roberts,
received word from the postofice depart
ment at Washington to sub-let the same
until the LIST of July. at the rate of $500
per wear. There have heen a number of
applications for carrying the mail, but for
some cause none of them have been acted
upon.
Postmaster Blair says this matter has
been a source of great annoyance to him,
and he hopes it will soon be settled. He
informed a BAzoo reporter this morning
that there was letter from the postmaster
general in his Office now for Postmaster
Roberts, and he surmises that 1t relates to
the irregularities now existing.
IL is bad state of affairs, to say the
least, and the BAzoo hopes to see all
righted in short time.

Infatuated With q Negro.

A case of miscegenation is creating much
excitement in Washington, Penn. The
parties are colored man of q and white
woman of 35. The woman is possessed of
of some property and is connerted with the
best families in the county. She was
adjudged insane last summer and placed
in an asylum by her family. This was
done because she appeared TO be infatuated
with the negro. Recently her family took
her from the asylum, thinking she had
been cured of her fancy. In this they were
mistaken; for, watching her opportunity,
she escaped from her home and married
him. She Was again arrested and taken
back to the asylum. Her husband has
obtained counsel to have her released on .

No Tidings or Robinson

George Robinson, who went out
hunting from this place last Tuesday
morning, and has not been seen nor
heard OF since, has undoubtedly Der
ished. Everybody has given up all
hopes OF ever finding him alive. For
ty men were out on Thursday, aud
searched the country thoroughly from
Thorn creek to Hooded and as far az
the Banner road, and twenty or tweu-
ty-five have been out every day since
and have hunted in almost every di.
rection. No trace whatever has been
found. Dud Snow, who is mining on
Grimes creek, FIVE or six miles below
Centerville, heard some one veil near
his place one night last week, but paid
no attention to it, thinking it was a
Chlnaman, he not knowing at the time
that Robinson was missing. After
learning of the circumstance, be re-
ported last Sunday what he had heard.
A party Of fifteen left CentervilIe yes
terday morning to make search
through that country, and several went
from this place. There is possibili-
ty that the voice was that of Robin
son. 1t is not known what direction
George took just before starting he
said he was going into the low foot
ihills, and would be back by noon.
His little sister-in-law, Pauline Davis.
was unwell and told him that she
would like to have grouse. As he
was starting off he said: "Well, Pau
line, | will hare that grouse if have
to wear my legs off hunting for it,
AS the grouse are high up in the noun
tains at this tine of year, he probably
went farther than he had intended on
leaving home. Some accident mus,
have happened, as he was good
mountaineer, and is pretty well &C
quainted with the country. Poor
George We fear he will never be seer
again alive

From the Yankee Fork Country.

Joe Galatian, one of the pioneers of
the Basin, came in yesterday from b.
nanza, where he has been engaged in
mining for number of years. Joe
will leave to-day for the East and will
probably bring up at New York. He
sold one Of his mines-the Wonder
for $l2, 900, short time ago, but he
still owns the Whale, which shows
good ore. The recent strike made in
the Charles Dickens, Joe says, is i'm
mense. The richest streak is two or
three feet wide, with a foot that is
is an astonisher-a good deal Of the
ore running as high as $4,000 per ton
in gold and silver. The strike was
made in a shaft sunk from the lower
tunnel and at the depth of three hum,
dred feet from the surface. "Ihey
have taken out chunks of wire silver,
the pure stuff-no rock at all in IN
termixsF'- said Joe, forming his
hands into semi.circular shape
and slapping 'em together as an Illus
tration of the size of the specimens.
The owners of the mine are shipping
ore to Salt Lake. The arastra Is
running on the losse dirt and decor-
posed ore that is scraped up. Mr.
Catalan says he would rather owl
the Dickens than any mine ne evel
saw except the Comstock. Two tun'
nels have been run on the ledge-the
upper, at the depth of one hundred
feet, has been driven in six or sever
hundred feet, and the lower one is one
thousand feet in length, and two hum
dred feet below tie other. The two
tunnels are connected by an upraise
