MISTAKEN IDENTITY.-A farmer, living
a feWmiles from Austin, whose wife was
troubled with an aching tooth, decided to
come in town with her for the purpose of
having it extracted. The pair took seat
in the cars, and soon after the train started
the farmer walked forward into the smok-
ing car telling his wife he would be back
directly. While her husband was absent
the conductor came leisurely along, ticket
punch in hand, and approaching the old
lady, reached over for her ticket, whereup-
on the victim of the toothache opened her
mouth and taught him, saying:
"You needn't mind giving me chloroform,
doctor; just pull it right out, anyhow. l
he'll settle with yer."-.SJtings.

BREAKING 'EM UP.-The breaking up of
negro political meeting in Maryland, the
other day, by the appearance of some dane

similar experience which befell him while
serving as bureau officer in South Carolina;
and he relates the incident in the Philadel-
phia Record. He was looked up to by the
colored people for all purposes, and was eX-
pected to take the place OF the "ole MASTER"
the Judge, the doctor and the parson. In
the latter capacity he was called upon to
read the service at the funeral of picanin-
ny. The procession had moved, in solemn
order, to grove on the plantation used as a
burial place, the mourners singing in dole
full strain as they moved along. While rem
dering the burial service he happened to
look up and was astonished to find that the
bulk of the congregation was streaming
across the open field toward a tall tree at
whose foot a couple of dogs were barking.
One by one the mourners were departing.
AS he stood there, wondering what it all
might mean, the sorrowing father turned to
him and remarked: ''Dar, dat Mungo has
treed anudder coon. He's de best coon dog
on dis yere ribber." The subsequent pro-
ceedings were very short.

Mantaru,1s department.

s@A clergyman, widower, residing in
one of our Vermont rural towns recently
created first class sensation in his house
hold, which consisted of several groWn-up
daughters. The reverend gentleman was alb
sent from home for number of days, visit
ing in an adjoining town. The daughters re-
ceived letter from their father which stated
he had married widow with SUSCEPTIBILITY
children" and that he might be expected
home at a certain time. The effect of that
news was great shock to the happy family.
The girls, noted for their meekness and
amiable temperaments, seemed another set
of beings; there was weeping. and wailing
and tearing of hair, and all manner OF
naughty things said. The tidy home was
neglected, and when the day of arrival
came, the house was anything but inviting.
At last the Rev. Mr.-came; but he was
alone. He greeted his daughters as usual,
and as he viewed the neglected parlors,
there was merry twinkle in his eye. The
daughters were nervous and utterly anxious:
At last the eldest mustered courage and
asked: "Where is mother?" "In heaven"
says the good man. "But twhere is the wild
ow with six children?" "Why, l married
her to another man, my dears." 1t is said
to have been amusing to see those girls set
things to rights.

IRISH MATHEMATICIAN Jolly SET Oh
Isishmen, boon companions and sworn
brothers, had made up their mind to leave
the "old sod'..and wend their way to amer
iky." There were five in number-tWO
Paddles, one Murphy, one Dennis, and one
league. Itso happened that the vessel they
were to 60 in, could only take four of them.
At length, honest league exclaimed:
"Arrah Ihave it. Well cast lots to see
who shall remain"
But one of the Paddles vowed it was any
thing but '.jonteel" to do that sort of thing.
"You know, league" he said, that Lam
an arithmetician, and can work it only by
subtraction, which is a great deal better.
But you must all agree to abide by the fig
ureS."
All having pledged themselves to do so,
Pat proceeded.
"Well, then, take Paddy from Paddy you
can't, that's very certain. But take Dennis
from Murphy is aisy enough, and you will
find that league remains. By my faith,
league, my jewel, and it's you that'll have
to stay behind"
Poor league was therefore bound to ac-
quiesce, in this remarkably novel decision.

poses to accomplish this purpose and
relieve him of his present embarrassing
position. Mention has been made of the
Fitz John Porter bill and of its prospects
of favorable consideration. 1t seems
probable now that it will pass both
houses. Lincoln, SO the story goes, will
make its passage pretext for resigning
from the cabinet. He will let it be
known that he resigns because Porter's
reinstatement will be an insult to the
memory Of President lincoln, who ap-
proved of the sentence which disgraced

the subject of comment for every news

That Mountain Tradition.

So much interest has been excited by
the reported rediscovery of the Lost
Cabin mine, an old timer is moved to
give his version of the old tradition as
follows:
During the summer of 1865, when the
prospectors of Montana were hunting In
every gulch in the mountains for the
precious minerals, a party of seven men,
with pack-horses laden with provisions
and picks, left Bannack, and going to the
Yellowstone, went up that stream to its
head and over to Wind River. Later in
the season two of them came in to Boze-
man with all of the pack horses, which
they loaded with provisions. They paid
for their purchases in gold dust and were
very reticent as to where they found it.
The curiosity of Bozeman's people was
greatly excited and when the two started
to return to their comrades, they were
followed, but easily slipped away from
their pursuers by travelling nights and
none of the party were ever again seen.
During the summer of 1859, q lone
prospector went from Camp Brown up
Wind River. About two months after
ward he came back. To a few of his in
Inmates he showed quite large quantity
OF gold dust, which showed plainly to an
expert, that it came direct from the ore,
it being entirely unwashed. He also had
some of the ore, having considerable of
the precious metal in sight. He told his
friends that he had discovered cabin ON
IA little side stream near the head of
the Wind river, in which he had found
this gold and the scattered fragments of
human skeletons The outside of the
logs of which the cabin was built
was marred with bullet holes, and he
supposed that the party were all killed
by Indians.
Near by he found the lode from which
their gold had been taken, and it was
very rich. Those to whom he told the
story were very anxious to 60 to the
place, and four of them organized an out
fit and went up. 1t was late in the fall
and the snow commenced to fly before
the locality was reached. The snow fall
changed the appearance Of the country
and the cabin could not he found. The
party were 81 on driven out by the snow,
and the discoverer of the cabin became
insane during the winter from brooding
over the lost treasure, and just before
spring committed suicide by jumping
in the large hot spring at Little Wind
river. Since then, though searched for
many times, the cabin has never yet
been discovered, unless the develop
ments reported in the Journal, of Satur-
day should be verified by the Nyes, who
claim to have made the rediscovery and
have gone to the scene of their blind to
develop it, in which event a stampede Of
miners may be expected in the early
spring. 1t would be fact stranger than
fiction if this old time tradition of the
mountains should at last be verified.
MIR. Nye is vouched for as a reliable
man.
