oeelclaL PAPER or LYON COUNTY
v,h,,sbed everv Saturday morning, bv
.,oHN m. CAMP BELL.
TERMS:


A young man was telling some OF
his aequaintances how he had gone
back on his girl because she was ssr-
castle. and they asked hun to explain
what he meant. He said that be was
amending the evning with her and he
noticed that she seemed to be absent
minded, or tired, or something.
Along abont 2 2o'clock in the morning
be said she started up suddenly In
alarm, and exclaimed: "My, what Is
that?" lie said he told her he didn't
hear anything, and asked her what
It sounded like, and she said she
thought maybe it was the milkman
coming with the milk. He said that
was too sarcastic, and he would new
or 90 to see her again. Well, proba-
bly, he couldn't suit her any better.
Seine fellows overdo the thing entire
ly, when they go to see a girl, and
nothing will break them Of the habit
of wearing out q girl like some sar.
castle remark like that. Sometimes
the father of the girl will come to the
girl will come to the head of the stairs
and ask the girl If the morning paper
has come, or II she will not tell her
visitor to call the hired girl when he
gets ready to go. These things may
look to a young man to be sarcastic,
but his conduct warrants it. There
is no girl who is well and wants to
keep so that wants TO sit up all
night with an ordinary young man.
She hes got to have some sleep or
she Is not worth the powder to blow
her up. She can get all the informa-
ton he has to impart in six or seven
hours, and every honr he stops is
dead loss. Some young fellows never
know enough to go. About ten
o'clock they speak Of it being time
to go, and the gIrl, to be polite, says:
"oh, don't hurry away; II Is early
yet," and the gslloot thinks she
means it, and he goes into camp for
a few hours more, and all the time
the girl is on nettles. She wishes the
house would take fire, or that he
would be seized with a crsmp. so that
he would get out. She knows she
will be the laughing stock of the
whole family, and wishes she was in
Gehenna; but he stays as though he
was sitting mp with a corpse. No
girl wants to seem impolite, and so
she will yawn behind q handker
chief or hitch very uneasily in her
chair and pray for relief, and when
the slayer does finally go she will
skip up stairs three at a time and
give q sigh of relief.

How santa Anna was Captured.

Captain James A. Sylvester, OF New
Orleans, who captured President Santa
Anna, of Mexico, at the battle Of San
Jacinto, died recently. The story of
the capture is told as follows: II was
by accident, while hunting through the
high grass which covered tho plain on
which the battle OF San Jacinto was
fought, that Private Sylvester stumbled
upon q Mexican enveloped in a common
soldiers blanket. The first impulse
Was TO shoot him, but the Mexican
throwing up his arms, cried ont for
quarter, and surrendered himself.
Sylvester viewed him closely and on
inquiry was told by his prisoner
that he belonged to the Mexican cavalry,
and was only common soldier, point
ing to his coarse shoes and clothing In
proof thereof. But the sharp eyes of
the young soldier could not be thus de-
ceived, and on showing aside his jacket
and the cuffs, he discovered that the
underclothing of his captive was Of the
finest linen, and very valuable diamond
studs and pin were revealed. Thus de.
tected, the prisoner admitted that he
belonged to the presidents stall, and
that his captor could not only have
his costly iewelry, but it would be
made largely to his advantage il he
would assist him to escape to the not dis
tant post OF another division Of the Me1i-
can army, which had been ordered to
join Santa Anna at San Jacinto. The
reply to this proposition was an imper-
ative order, emphasized by the aiming
OF an unerring rifle at his body. to ge.
up and forward march to camp. On
the arrival at Houston's headquarters,
which had no other shelter than large
and spreading liveoak tree, a Tumber
of Mexican prisoners recognized Syl.
vester's captive and cried "El Pres
idente FL Presidente |" Thus be.
trayed, Santa Anna announced himself
TO General Houston with due dignity,
recognized Sylvester as his captor. and
was treated with becoming magma
nimity and courtesy by the Texan co m

Sledging In Siberia.

CHOOSING A PARTNER.

There were two things patent con
cerning Miss Mary Dunlap-one that
she was an exceedingly pretty girl; the
other, that she was as arrant coquette
as ever bewitched man. She had hair
whose loose locks gilded white fore
head, but whose heavy masses glistened
like fawn-tinted satin; she had great
black-lashed blue eyes, with an en-
chanting way of glancing under their
down-dropping fringes; her teeth we're
as even as the kernels OF milk corn;
her features ine as il ohiseled in ivory;
her dimples, her smile, the rose and
white of her skin, W re lovely and inno-
cent as any baby's; and the depth OF her
guile there was no fathoming. Not
that it was very guilty guile; it was but
Q trivial sort after ell. It consisted
only in making herself charming, and
there we're even those who said she
couldn't help it IL she would. She felt
an interest in everybody; feeling it, she
showed it; and il people chose to think
it meant more than it did that was their
fault and not hers. And there was no
earthly reason, they said, why Mr.. Pop
isonshould suppose, when half the lovely
women of an older generation had re
fused his hand, that this spoiled dar-
ling meant anything but commits
GRAFTON by her tender looks of sympathy
as he told his griefs. after bringing her
great punches of red roses at thirty
cents apiece.
The fact was II pleased her that
Mr.. Popison, who had once admired
her tyrannical younger aunts, should
now admire her. Then it did no harm
to have James Macarthur see that she
could step into a pair Of sumptuous
shoes, and cross the threshold Of the
splendid old Popison mansion over the
river; and time few but slowly, ind
the affair amused her; and it wouldn't
hurt poor Mr.. Popison, who was used
to that sort of thing.
II was q gay house, the Dunlap. All
the family elements combined there.
There we're two grandmothers, q mother
and father, aunts on both sides, two or
three coasins, and Mary Dunlap and
her sisters, and friends and lovers
going and coming; and the time was
heavy to no one but Mary, and might
not have been to her had James MaAr-
thur had the wit to see what some 9th
ers thought they saw.

sufficiently vide open. Mary Dunlap
had touched his heart az deeply a. he

marrying for love when he might marry

have little money and he hesitated,
too, about marrying girl with whom

The Paner Of the Anclenis,


The make up OF ancient books was
Of papyrus. The Romans, according
to the different uses for which 1t was
employed, gave it different names the
Hieratic or sacred, 30 called on account
of its being used in books relating to
religion; the LiviAn, called after Livia,
wife of Augustus; Emporetic, used in
business relation; the Fanniac and,
lastly, the Lencotic, the coarsest kind
Of papyrus. The Egyptians made pa.
per from papyrus, aud likewise en-
ployed the roots of this valuable plant
as'fuel. Again it is related that by the
use OF this material they constructed
light boats. in which they believed
themselves secure from danger, as tbs
Goddess Isis had once employed one on
the Nile, the crocodiles fleeing in ad-
vance of the divinity. or posturing in
submission, according to the legend, as
she passed. Papyrus was in use 2,00O
years before onr era. Writing on this
material was introduced in Greece at 9
very early period.
