A solitary sportsman, roaming over the
Alvarado marshes on Sunday last in pur-
suit of ducks, which were few and far be-.
tween, bethought himself of an artesian
well in the distance where he might slake
his thirst. When he reached the desired
spot, he saw two young girls seated on the
margin, dressed IN peculiar and striking
costume. They wore tunics extending to
the knees, long rubber boots, hunting
coats and caps, and were provided with an
excellent brace of breech-loading shotguns.
Beside them lay pile of teal, widgeon and
rail. ample testimony to their skill in the
use of their weapons. The hunter raised
his hat, and presuming on the fraternity of
sport, inquired if the ladies had good luck.
They pointed triumphantly to their birds,
and then glanced alphabetically at their
interrogator's fiaccd gsme-bag. Both were
unusually pretty girls, their cheeks brown
from exposure, showing that it was not
their first excursion, and the hands with
which they dabbed the cool water on their
heated faces were white and dimpled.
They confessed that the oddity of their
costume made them shun the male hunter,
though the sportsman confessed that he had
never believed that rubber boots could look
so cunning. Just then bunch of teal came
down the wind with lightning speed, and
both girls squatted on the marsh in a mo-
ment. Along swept the birds, bang went
both guns, and three birds fell to the
ground with that delightful thud which is
music to the hunters ear. They picked
them up, and with generosity altogether
unknown to the male sportsman, offered
him brace of the birds, as he had the
courtesy to allow them to do the shooting.
They explained how they came to be hunt
ers. One was extremely delicate, and after
graduating at well. known seminary in
Alameda county, was recommended out
door exercise by the doctors as the only
escape from consumption. Tired of OBJ
jectless stroling, the girl, under the kindly
tutorship of her uncle, learned to shoot,
converted companion to the sport, and
both are now passionately attached to
hunting. They know the best duck passes
in Alameda county, where snipe are to be
found, the good quail covers, and seldom
return without generous bags. Vallejo

result of a bargain between President Garfield and

for granted that AttOrney-General Brewster will be

Crowley being member Of Congress, violated the
