Not many evenings since crowd of
sportsman were congregated in we'll
known saloon, when the conversation
naturally turned upon great hunting
exploits. The proprietor of the saloon
is one of the best pot.hunters in town,
and very tall story was expected from
him. Imagine the disappointment of
his auditors when he hemmed and
hawed and began about having been
out hunting deer, his rifle being, of
course, loaded with ball. Hearing a
noise, he looked overhead and counted
twsnty-four pigeons on single limb
of tree. Thinking he might possibly
knock one or two of them over, he
fired at the exact center of the limb.
What was his surprise to see the limb
split very quickly and as quickly
come together again.

erful circumstance has been happening
at intervals of from three to six month
right along all Of these 113 years, and
what makes it more remarkable is that
the number Of pigeons has always been
just twenty-four. Had he shown
sufficient originality to change the
number of birds, his triumph would
would have been 4 signal one. As it
was, one by one the wronged and out.
ragged men ranged themselves along
the bar and silently awaited develop

Alden,s Literary Re vOlution.

John B. Alden's literary revolution,
though, possibly, not making so large
a noise" in the world as three or
four years ago when its remarkable
work was new to the public, is really
making more substantial progress than
ever before. A noticeable item is the
improved quality of the books issued.
Guizots famous " History of France

than $50, is put forth in eight small
octave volumes, ranking with the
handsomest ever issued from American
printing presses, including the 426 full
page original illustrations, and is sold
Tor 81. Rawlinson's celebrated "Seven
Great Honarchies of the Ancient East
srn World,' Is produced in elegant
form, with all the maps and illustra-
tions, reduced in price from SIS to
81 rs. These are but representative
OF an immense list of standard works,
ranging in price from two cents to
nearly $40, which are set forth in a
descriptive catalogue of 100 pages, and
which is sent free to every applicant
1t certainly is worth the cost of a
postal card to the publisher, John B.

How to Measure Hay.

Hay in the stack may be measured,
an agricultural paper says, by the fol.
lowing process: For timothy, square
the diameter, multiply by eight, and
that product by the height of the stack,
reckoning up to one.third of the dis
lance from where it begins to taper oil
10 the top or apex; cut off the right
hand figures and divide by seventy.fve ;
the result will be in tons. Should
there be remainder, multiply by 1900
and divide by seventy five, the quotient
will be pounds. For clover hay,
square the diameter, multiply by the
height Of the stack, as for timothy, and
that product by seven; cut of three
right hand figures, and all on the left
VIII be tons; then multiply the figures
upon the right by 1000, cut of three
from the right, and all on the left will
be pounds,

A Close Vote.

The Phoebe Record tells, in a humor.
GUS way, the result Of very close vote
for the candidates for the office of
County Recorder. There was an out.
side district that had not been heard
from, and hope alternated from one to
the other OF the two aspirants. AT last
word was received that the Democrat
was elected by \ majority of sixteen.
He congregated his friends and made
Rome howl, while the Republican
sulked in his tent and accused his
friends of all sorts of reachery. The
next day, when the official returns
came In, it was found that the Repub-
lican had been elected by five majority.
The whole condition of affairs was
instantly reversed. In this county we
had similar experience. For some
days it was undecided as to who our
next Sheriff would be, and on Thurs
day evening, unable to longer hold
down their enthusiasm, the friends of
the respective candidates arranged for
a grand celebration While the Candle
laria friends of the Repu blican were
making Pickhandle Gulch and me
tallic Lake" ring with the notes Of
victory, the Dem ocrats were having a
like jubilee at Columbus. The official
returns came in some days later and
decided that E. B, Cushman, the
Republican candidate had been elected
by a majority of six.

ing out The cold and building in regen-
erative Candelaria.
From the preparations being made
it is safe TO conclude that the party to
be given next Thursday evening by
the Esmeralda Lodge of Ancient Order
of United Workmen will be a treat.
When the question, "How is the
Holmes mines looking?' is asked, the
answer is the old-time phrase, - The
indications are favorable" Yes, it
looks that way with preparations for
hauling ore from both it and the
Mount Diablo in progress, and the Ger.

Benton was reached he was busy and
forgot to wake the fellow. When
about five miles the other side of the

and, after indulging in II very little
emphatic English, backed the train to
Benton, and, walking into the coach
where the man was sleeping, said:

AS far as heard from, there will be
no general celebration of Thanksgiv-
ing in Hawthorne. But the people of
Candelaria and Coryville are making
preparations that will doubtless entice
some of our citizens away from home.
At each of these two places ball will
be given, and it is Sn assured fact that
if any of our people attend either of
them they will havea jolly, good time.
