The "AalloDinS Cow"

Some years ago there lived in
this State a woman who was almost
crazy on stocks. She had a little
method in her madness, and occa'
sionally got away with some Wild
cat mining swindle with as much
sdroitness as older hands. She
fitted about the Comstock for a
while and got possession OF pros
pec, shaft somewhere which she
managed to get listed on the Board
of the Pacific Exchange as the
"Galloping Cow" She bul ed the
stock for couple of years and
managed to dispose Of enough
shares to keep gal'oping along
finely. Several Carson people got
gored by this COW. She has now
turned up in New York. and the
Economist gives her this fisst-class
notice:

The Camel.

The expression of his soft, dreamy,
heavy eye tells its own tale of meek
submission and patient endurance ever
since travelling began i'll the deserts.
The camel appears to be wholly pass
ive-without doubt or fear, emotions
or opinions of any kind-to be in all
things willing slave to destiny. He
has none of the dash and brilliancy of
the horse; that looking about with erect
neck, fiery eye, cooked ears, and inflated
nostrils; that readiness to dash along q
racecourse, follow the hounds across
country, or charge the enemy; none of
that decision of will and self-conscious
pride, which demand, as a right, to be
stroked, patted, pampered, by lords and
ladies.
The poor camel bends his neck, and
with halter round his long nose, and
several hundred weight on his back,
PAGES patiently along from the Nile to
the Euphrates. Where on earth, or
rather on sea, can we find a ship so
adapted for such voyage as his over
those boundless oceans of desert sand :?
Is the camel thirsty-he has recourse to
his gutta-percha cistern, which holds as
much water as will last a week, or, as
some say, ten days, if necessary. 10 he
hungry-give him few handfuls of
dried beans, it is enough; chopped
straw is luxury He will gladly
crunch with his sharp grinders the
pricklv thorns and shrubs in his path,
to Which hard Scotch thistles are as
as soft as down. And when fail fails,
the poor fellow will absorb his own fat
hump. If the land storm blows with
furnace heat, he will close his small
nostrils, pack up his ears, and then his
long, deheshed legs will stride after his
swanlike neck through suffocating dust /;
and. having done his duty, he will num-.
bic his cultural, and leave, perhaps,
his bleached skeleton to be landmark
in the waste for the guidance of future
travellers. s.-HdTper's Young People.

Poetry and I'urnips.

1t has been stated by some gushing
poet in a turbulant avalanche of wild,
highly-colored words that, although
there are many epicurian treats in this
sad commercial vale of ours, there is
is not a single one in the whole rosary
that begins to make anything like a
decent approximation to the little flat,
white turnip that he used to purloin in
the field out by the woods.
He tells with great pathos how he
used to go cunning on Saturday when
there was no school. And how he
wandered through orchards with other
boys, and knocked the song birds OF
the low-hanging limbs. And how
jealous the other boys were of him be-
cause he had a gun; and how they
followed him and offered to carry the
birds, and fetch them out of the water
if he would only let them fire the gun
off once. And how he let Bill Murphy
fire it of, because Bill could lick any
boy of his size in the school, and it was
an honor to be seen with him. and to
enjoy his friendship.
And then he goes on to state that he
was afraid to go home to his dinner for
fear he would be detained to chop
wood and study his Sunday-school
lessons, and in that case he would not
be able to smoke. At the dinner-hour
it was that the turnip was enjoyed, be-
cause the apples were all gone, and he
hadn't shot any birds to cook. When
he started out in the morning he oon-
cluded he would have at least half-a-
dozen quail to roast, and that is the
reason he didn't bring anything along.
He didn't even bring toast to put the
quail on. for he knew he would get all
the toast he wanted in after years in
restaurants.
And then he tells how he crept into
the field, and plucked the turnips from
the ground, and went out and sat on
rail-fence under the berry-tree, and
pocketed all the turnips except one,
which he held in his hands and peeled
with his teeth, and ate while his face
fairly glowed with satisfaction-and
turnip.

How 1t Feels to Kill a Man.

Zone gets used to that sort of business
just as a surgeon becomes hardened
and calloused in his profession. The
first man l killed was before Richmond,
when Mcclellan was in command
was doing picket duty late one night,
near the bank of a creek, and had been
cautioned to be especially watchful, as
an attack was expected. I carried my
musket at half-cock, and was startled
by every rustic the wind made among
the trees and dead leaves. 1t was
sometime after midnight that / saw a
Confederate cavalryman dashing down
the opposite side of the creek in my di-
rection. AS he was opposite me fired
upon the horse and it fell. The cavalry
man regained his feet in n moment and
had drawn his pistols. called to him
to surrender, but his only reply was

greatest difficulty that managed to
get into camp. There they laughed at
me, but it was weeks before my nervous
system recovered from the shock. Even

dying cavalryman, and the specter

still and listened. Many an ear would
have heard nothing but the sound of
rushing waters. Rube's acute and prac-
ticed hearing detected something more,
and he felt instinctively for his am
munition and looked to the prim-
ing OF his rifle. Then from distance
the sound came again-a peculiar cry,
followed by another and another, until
they ended in chorus of unearthly
yells. Rube muttered to himself one
word-wolves-and strained his eyes in
the direction of the curve to the rivers
edge. The cry proceeded from that
direction and grew louder every in
slant. Before he could decide on a
plan of action there shot out from the
bend in the river what looked to him
like woman carrying a bundle and
skating for dear life. She strained
every nerve, but never once cried out.
Next came a wolf, followed rapidly by
others, which swelled the pack to a
dozen, all ravenous, yelping, snarling
and gaining closely on their prey.
Rube raised his rifle, fired and began
to load as he had never loaded before.
The cry came nearer and nearer. Great
God! the wolves were upon the wom-
an! 1t seemed as if no earthly hope
could save her, when, quick as an arrow
from the bow, she swerved to one side,
the maddened brutes slid forward on
their hind legs, and she had gained a
few steps. Again she flew onward, and
again she tried the ruse of swerving
aside, the man on the bank in the mean
time firing rapidly, and picking off
wolf after wolf. A fresh danger arose.
The woman evidently did not see the
abrupt break in the falls, and the dark,
swift current which lay beyond. Per-
haps she was too frightened to hear the
rushing waters. On she went, making
straight for the falls, the wolves almost
on her heels, and the mans voice cry
ing in terrified accents, as he dropped
on his knees in the snow:
"Kate Kate! Ny God save herl"
The woman was on the brink of the
ice, when she made a sudden sweep to
one side Nearly the entire pack,
unable to check their mad flight,
plunged into the water, which carried
them swiftly over the rocks, and Kate
Wexford was flying toward the river
bank, where she fell helpless in the
snow, her baby in her arms, while
Rube's rifle frightened the remainder of
her pursuers away. 1t was some time
before she could answer her husbands s
voice. When strength enabled her to
do so she arose feebly in the snow, her
resolution to go to her father as strong
as ever, but Rube took her hand, knelt
down and said
Kate, bear me for the last time. As
God is my Judge, L shall never again
taste liquor This,night has taught me
a lesson which L cannot forget"
Kate believed him and accepted his
promise. Then they started for Pine;
vile, Rube carrying the baby and more
than half CARRYING his wife. When
they arrived there Kate told her parents
she had been dying to show them the
baby, and, taking advantage of the
moonlight night, had made the journey
on skates.
Rube kept his vow, the roses bloomed
again on Kates cheeks, and to-day a
happy family of boys and girls feel no
touch of shame as they look up with
pride to their father

OregOn's Timber Supply.

The average yearly cut of lumber il
Oregon and Washington for the las
thirty-fve years has been, in round
numbers, 72,000,00O feet. Let us as
sumo that for the next thirty years i
will be three times as much, or 216,
100000 feet a year. At that rate o
forest destruction it would take 74C
years to exhaust the timber now grow
ing from the Columbia to the Frazer
and from the sea backward to the east
ern slopes of the Cascade mountains
At an average lumber consumption o
500, ,006, 900 feet year, there is fores
sufficient to last $40 years, and in tha
time the timber first cut would be re
produced.

have gone shooting; we have Eppropfi
ated the turnips; We have glowed with
satisfaction and grinned with glee, and
stretched on the ground and kicked our
feet in the air. And no boy ever en-
joyed the little white turnip more than
we did. But we remember, too, that,
while we were lying on our back kick
ing our feet in the air with delight, the
farmer came across the field shouting
like an Indian, and swinging piece OF
osage-orange in a sanguinary manner.
And we suddenly got upon our feet
and ran, because it was Saturday, and
we didn't have our school-day shingles
on. And we remember how the farmer
shouted, and how we ran and ran and
ran until the farmer gave up the chase,
for fear it would take him too long to
return home if he pursued us further.
And it was the thrilling excitement
of the chase that made the turnip so
good, and we shall never forget one or
the other.
But when man comes forth and
states that the little white purple
topped turnip is far superior to any
epicurean treat extant, we think he
must be poet who is unacquainted
with swell restaurants. We say moth
ing in disparagement of the little white
turnip; but we think there are edibles
before which it pales into insigniicance
every time. For our part we would
much prefer turkey stuffed with chest
nuts, calfs head la poulette, pate de
fOie Oras kidnevs with champaUne-
sauce, devilled crabs and many other
things which we cannot think of just
now.-Puck
