DAILY HERALD.
A Land Agents story.

A pretty good story is told about land
agent Miner, of the Atchison, Topeka
asd Santa Fe Railroad, who, one day,
had party of Eastern farmers in town,
trying to sell each Of them farm in the
Arkansas valley. Miner had taken
them in his light wagon, and behind his
spanking team of bays, and given them
grand ride, lasting all day. He had
done his best to make them enthusiastic,
by rehearsing the stories, he had at mis-
tongues end, of the marvellous crops of
the valley, but to all intents it was
cloves labor lost, for they would not
enthuse. This annoyed Miner, but he
had his revenge in his reply to one of
the party, who, with sardonic smile,
asked:
"Well, Mr.. Agent, is there anything
that won't grow here?"
'sYes," replied Miner, pumpkins
won't"
ssWhat!" exclaimed the cynical land
buyers together, pumpkins won't?"
ssNo," said Miner, "there are men in
this county who would give $3.50 an
acre for land that would mature crop
of pumpkins. They have been unable to
get crop since I've been here, and
that's ten years
''Well, how strangel Why is it?"
said hamburger, No. l.
This was Miners chance, and with a
serious expression he replied: swell,
sir, the soil is so rich that the vines grow
so fast that they wear the pumpkins oat
dragging them over the ground"

He Mixed Them Up.

A San Francisco lawyer, who defend
ed promissory note case, went to lunch,
leaving his books and citations on the
table in the courtroom. The opposine
counsel sneaked back into the room and
changed the places of all the book marks.
In the afternoon, the lawyer, tax N
up his book, referred the Court to his
authorities. His Honor noted every sec
ton and page very carefully, and took
the case under advisement. In render
ing his opinion, he said:
81 was inclined, after hearing argu-
ment Of counsel for defendant, to non
suit plaintiff, but find that, on refer
ence to authorities quoted by counsel,
none of them bear on this case, and | am
inclined to think that the gentleman has
wilfully been trying to insult this Court.
He has referred me to an action of an
Irish woman who sued the proprietor OF
q monkey for biting her, to case Of
arson, one of burglary, two for petty
larceny, and three divorce cases, besides
other matters none of which bear
on an action to recover on promissory
note. Perhaps the grossest insult to the
Court is referring it to the case of Dutch
worth VS.. Boozyman, an action charging
the defendant with breach of promise.

The lawyer never knew what the mat
ter was, and, to this day, thinks the
Judge was out of his head.

Death of Judge Hillyer.

The bill now before Congress to ap-
point U. S. District Judge for Nevada,
on account of the incapacity of Judge
Hillyer, will now be withdrawn, for
death has stepped in and removed the
suffering and incompetent Judge, who
died in Carson on Tuesday last. The
Appeal says the original diagnosis of his
illness was established as correct. Late
in 1880 Judge Hillyer accidently ran his
head against the base of chandelier
very violently. Soon thereafter he
would occasionally suffer from violent
headaches. In July, 1881, symptoms of
softening of the brain began to exhibit
themselves, which now prove to have
been caused by growing tnmor, re-
sulting from the concussion. The phy-
sicians removed the tumor, weighing
four ounces, from the point in the brain
directly under the seat of injury.
