that of q printer. His every deed
seeks the light Of day. Those of a

musty shelves; the doctor places his
indifferent handiwork in the earth,
the tradesman has but his customers

work Is ended. But the printer
every ignoramuss spells over the work
of the printer. Fellows who cannot
put twenty letters together grammat-

in his work; indeed it is usually that
class OF individuals who make II a

all the rough edges from the charac-

Isaac COhn runs an express wagon
to the train every morning, and is
prepared to do hauling to and troun
the depot at reasonable rates. There
may be some people in town who
are not aware Of this fact, and for
those this is written. Our merchants
do not like to be bothered so often
by being called upon to lend their
team to haul q trunk or box from
the depot. Uncle Isaac will haul
your trunk for the small sum of rs
cents, and he ought to be patronized.

How We staad the winters.

John Mckay has reached New
York and is on his way home. He
writes to J. Minor Taylor that he IS
coming out here to see how we stood
the hard Winter.
We've had q pretty tight rub, but
are still here, Mr.. Mackay. We sage
brushers have spent most of the in
clement Winter months paying as.
sessments on the North End mines.
The snow storms and assessments
we're ssndwiched in to. ether rather
thick, and it was pretty hard rustic.
We felt q sort of state pride IN see
ing that you were well fixed for the
Coronation, aud we felt our oats when
we landed you IN Moscow in such
excellent style. The Winter left a
few of us still solvent, and in the
Spring, gentle johnny, we got our
second wind and hope To see you
among us again soon.-Carson APP

The COlOred Man and the Hog,

A writer in Northern magazine
wants to know why the negro con-
stantly figures before the courts of the
South. This question is very easily
answered. We have been stud wing the
colored gentleman's legal, or rather
illegal, prominence fer some time. and
we have an abiding faith in the belief
that the leading thinkers of the South
VIII agree with us when we affirm that
the hog, the unregenerated United
States hog, is the cause. Placed on
prairie, without any surroundings what
ever, the average colored gentleman
might prove to be an honest citizen, but
when he lives in q community where
hogs abound, there is no chance for him
but to conduct his business on the silent
and under-current plan. From the re-
hottest inception of slavery in America
down to the last overflow, the negro
and the hog have been linked in a rela-
tionship unknown to the Hottentot.
The grunt of the hog to him has ever
been a sound as familiar as the lament
of the missionary is to the Fiji Islander
This is not the fault of the colored
gentleman. In no respect can you load
the blame on him. He was doing
business In Africa, at an obscure stand,
when the white man transported him
to America and introduced him to
the hog and assisted him in cultivat-
ing an appetite for the flesh of the
animal despised by the ineal descend
ants of Moses. He did not claim rela-
tionship with the hog until the white
&c
induced a lasting acquaintance. The
intimacy, carelessly begun, soon ripened
into passion. The colored gentleman
insisted upon associating with the hog.
Now it is impossible to effect q separa-
ton. The hog is willing, but his legs
are weak. The law is willing, but the
negro is not. He adheres to the Gus
tom Of his fathers. His father said let
us have hog, and Immediately there was
hog. No revision that the law may
make can affect this ancient declaration.
The law may say thou shalt not steal
hog nor bear false witness against the
SOW, but the action of tradition says,
gimme de shoat."
No, sir, the colored gentleman cannot
be an undoubted Christian so long as the
hog inhabits the land He may strug-
gle and pray great deal, but when the
light in the church is extinguished, and
the sisters with fearful eyes go home,
the colored gentleman looks around for
a place where he can have undisturbed
association with the swine. We don't
mean to assert that all or even one-third
of the colored gentlemen do this, but
we mean that the old-time representa-
tive is the man who will not forego the
pleasure. Traveller.

The Romance Of the Argonauts.

AS the winter of as" waned, the
companies, one after another, set sail
for the land of gold. The Sunday pre-
cedlng they listened to farewell SER
mons at the church. recollect seeing
score or two of young Argonauts thus
preached to. They were admonished
from the pulpit to behave temporarily,
vlrtuously, wisely and piously. How
seriously they listened! How soberly
were their narrow-brimmed, straight
up-and-down little plug hats of that
period piled one on top of the other in
front of them! How glistened their
hair with the village BARRIERS hair oil !
How pronounced the creak of their
tight boots as they marched up the
aisle! How brilliant the hue of their
neckties! How patiently and resignedly
they listened to the sad discourse of the
minister, knowing it would be the last
they would hear for many months |
How eager the glances they cast up to
the church choir, where sat the girls
they were to marry on their return
How few returned! How few married
the girl of that periods choicel How
little weighed the words of the minister,
year afterward, in the hurry-scurry of
San Francisco life of 40 and 80!
What an innocent, unsophisticated,
inexperienced lot were those forty-odd
young Argonauts who sat in those pews.
Not one of them then could bake his
own bread, turn a fapjack, reseat his
trousers or wash his shirt. Not one of
them had dug even a posthole. All had
a vague sort of impression that Califor-
mia was nutshell of a country, and
that they would see each other there
frequently and eventually all return
home at or about the same time. How
little they realized that one was to go to
the Northern and one to the Southern
mines, and one to remain in San Fran
cisco, and the three never to meet again |!
What glittering gold mines existed in
their brains even during the preaching
of that sermon. Holes where the gold
was thrown out by the shovelful, from
which an occasional bowlder or pebble
was picked out and flung away.
The young Argonaut- church being
dismissed-took his little stiff, shiny plug
and went home to the last Sundays tea.
AhO o1e'O OuuOl6ty uISnt, Ou SSSlIlS Her
home from church, for the last time, he
was allowed to sit up with her almost
as long as he pleased. The light glim-
mered long from the old homestead
front parlor window. The cold north
wind without roared among the leafess
sycamores, and FLASHED the branches
together. 1t was sad, sad picture.
The old sofa they sat upon would be sat
upon by them no more for years. For
years? Forever in many cases. To
day, old and gray, gaunt and bent,
somewhere in the gulches, "up North"
somewhere hidden away in an obscure
mining camp of the Tuolumne, Stanis-
laus or Mokalumne, up in Cariboo, or
down IN Arizona, still he recollects that
night as dream. And she? Oh, she
dried her eyes and married the stay-at-
home five years after. A girl can't
wait forever. And, beside, bad re-
ports, after time, reached home about
him. He drank. He gambled. He
found fair friends among the senoritas,
and, worse than all, he made no fortune.

A Pretty Flower Bed Easily Made.

Last summer I saw the prettiest
flower bed that L ever noticed. 1t was
arranged to show flowers at good adj
vantage, and very easy to keep free
from weeds. It was in a lawn, close by
a croquet ground. The form was a
circle, about four feet across. A row of
bricks was laid in circle, and on the
top of these were laid large bits of COM
mon quartz, which looked very white
and pure along the side of the soft
green grass. The inside was filled with
rich loan; leaving about ten inches of
this for the outside flower bed, another
row of the white stones was laid and
earth filled in to raise it some six inches
above the outside. In the center of
this bed, row of larger stones was laid
compactly, and raised up about eight
inches, forming a nice large flower pot.
Growing in this was SPLENDID Happy
Thought geranium, loaded with i'm
mense clusters of flowers. Sweet mig
nonette was growing in the crevices of
the rocks. The middle bed was filed
with China pinks of all varieties, and
lovely balsams. The outside bed had
roses, nasturtiums, pansies and other
bright-hued flowers: and sEEest alyssum
grew in the crevices of the quartz.
1t was free from weeds. and the whole
had such a lovely appearance that I
thought it was new arrangement, and
was quite surprised to learn that it had
been made three years, and was much
easier to keep in order than it was the
first year. In another part of the
grounds there was growing a large
clump of white petunias, completely
covered with pure, sweet, white bios
SONS. The secret of their wonderful
growth was simply bottomless earthen
pot, sunk into the earth and filed with
old chip dirt and stable manure, to
within six inches of the top, the rest
being filed with the earth taken from
the ground where the pot was set. I
never saw so large a growth of the
plant, or such an abundance of bloom,
and it kept it's beauty till November.
There were other equally pretty ar
engagements in other parts of the
grounds.-"S. r.. R." i71 Country

Durable COIOrs.

One OF the necessary qualifications OF
the painter is the knowledge of the
colors that will stand the sun and the
weather
The manufactured chemical colors
are generally not very durable, and are,
there fore, not very suitable for outside
work. The chrome yellows, chrome
greens and Prussian blues are fugitive,
whether used alone or mixed. A COM
bination of two colors of durable ma
turei is often subj ect to change of tone
Of the more durable colors for external
use, the ochers, Indian and Venetian
reds, burnt and raw umbers, and burnt
and raw siennas may be mentioned.
Zinc white, though of less body than
white lead, is more delicate and durable,
and one American writer says: Zinc
white should always be used in place of
white lead at the seaside, where it is
especially durable. The action of the
salt air Injuries the lead" The most
durable blacks are the lampblack and
vegetable black; the most durable yell
lows are yellow ocher and Naples yell
low, both of which have a good body.
Chrome yellow is fugitive, and, like
other lead salts, it becomes dark in bad
air. Of the reds, those to be depended
on are the Venetian red, India red,
light red, and madden lake; carmine
lake, vermillion and chrome red are best
avoided on the exterior. The only blue
that will stand is ultramarine, though
it is expensive.
Prussian blue, cobalt, Antwerp blue
and indigo will fade, either singly or in
combination. The umbers and siennas,
burnt and raw, burnt ochers, and Van
dyke brown are permanent colors.
Raw umber is very durable in both
water and oil, and does not injure other
pigments when mixed with them. The
same may be said of yellow ocher, a
natural-colored clay, which does not
lose its color when mixed with lime,
and hence it is well adapted for dis
temper painting.
Mixed green's are not so durable as
those direct from copper, arsenic, ETC.,
which are, however, injurious to health.
Emerald green, made of verdigris and a
solution of arsenious acids, and Scheele's
green and Vienna green, arseniates of
of copper, are very poisonous.-Batild-
