point where the cowboy spurred
up his mustang, made a little de-
tour, etc, and then galloped leis-
urcly on to the edge of the bluff"
Now that sounds very nice, but Ii
you ever saw herd of cattle stam-
pede, (and this writer has witness
ed that interesting performance
several times) you saw them start
like streak of lightnings.and Mr..
Cowboy would be about halfa mile
in the rear of the herd before he
knew what was up. Then that
leisurely gallop won't hold water.
\ scared OK runs like deer and 1T
takes horse above the average to
catch him, much less circling
around and coming in in front,
and further along in this charming
romance the cause of the stoppage
! is attributed to the fact of the cow
boys having emptied "big bag OF
salt he had brought out from the
ranch," while galloping across the
front of the herd. He had in short
started behind the herd some hun
dred yards at least with a "big bag
of salt" on his horse, made a de-
tour, came in front of the herd, gal
Hoped along across their front, emp
tied the big bag of salt and coolly
galloped on ahead. If Joe Null
hatten did not write that fancy
sketch he ought to hunt up the MAJ
who did and form an alliance of
fensive and defensive with him
The two together could concoc
some yarns that would startle tn,
country and attract the attention
even of the politicians.

A BALDHEADED JUBILEE.

And now comes the era of the
disappearance of the baldheads.
The bald and ribald jest concerning
the numerousness, so to speak, of
the Daldhead at ballet performances,
etc., will now be relegated to the
past for the day of the baldheads is
gone and the places that knew them
once so well will know them again
no more. Years hence the familiar
Uncle Ned will be regarded as a
myth and buried in the grave with
William Tell, Washington's hatch
ct and similar decisions of our
childhood.
From the Sunny land of France
comes the hero who inaugurates
the dawnfall of the baldhead. His
mission is mission of peace and
his welcome is most hearty from
his victims. A short extract from
a New York paper will place the
reader in possession of the effects
of this grand movement. Sitting
in one of the New York theaters a
representative of the paper in
question, Sin looking along the
we'll known row of baldheads in
the front circle of orchestra chairs,
observed familiar face. But how
changed was the head above it. II
no longer glistened with barren
badness, and the calcium lights
did not reflect the glossy splendor
of its bald sheen. A luxuriant
crop of hair had grown where for.
merly there was only a fieshy
waste. Puzzled at the change, the
press representative leveled his
opera glass and putting it ct q
strong focus, proceeded to make
investigations. The tense demon.
strated the remarkable fact that the
venerable baldhead was not wear.
ing a wig, and yet on the previous
evening he had been seated in thai
same identical seat with a Uranium
as smooth as a billiard ball."
To say that the beholder of this
phenomenon was astounded, is tC
draw it very mild. That a luxu.
RANT crop of hair could be pro
duced in twenty-four hours wa;
beyond belief, but there was the
hair to show for itself. Following

HE DIDN'T WANT HER.

When you want to get something
interesting just call on New York
and you are supplied at once.
There lives in what is really part
of New York-the city of Brooklyn
"a German harness-maker by the
name of Chas. Leverich who, hav-
ing read the prospectus of the
American Marriage Association,
an account of which was lately
given in the TIMES, and being for
titled by numerous drinks, offered
to give 500 and ten per cent of her
dowry, to any one who would pro-
cure him good looking, well to do
wife.
A New York gentleman who
happened to be in the company, by
profession carpenter, concluded
to undertake the job and set about
looking up lady who could fill
the bill. Of his trials and tribula-
tions in this endeavor the accounts
are meagre, but it is certain that
he eventually succeeded in finding
q handsome German woman viii.
ling to try matrimony, and who
had 81, 200 deposited in the bank.
In company with the lady he called
on Leverich and introduced to him
his future wife.
Instead of being greeted with
the gratitude expected, he wa:
overwhelmed with abuse and the
indignant Leverich poured on hin
all the walls of wrath of which he
was possessed. Not content with
this the irate harness-maker sound
ly abused the too complaisant lady
and ended by spurning them botl
from his presence. A free figh
was generally expected by TIT
crowd attracted by the high words
but the carpenter finally decided
to invoke the majesty of the Law
and has brought suit against The
ungrateful Leverich for 1870 ant
costs, the amount due him accord
ing to contract.

Dor with men, teams, and rOad-scra-
pcrs, our efforts were rewarded
with one of the greatest discoveries
ever made on the American CONT
nent. At a depth of six feet we
discovered a prehistoric city, an
exact fac-simile of many discover
ed nearly century ago III New
Mexico near Sante Fee. We have
already removed the light, loamy
soil and sand from portion OF one
of the streets and have entered the
houses of the silent prehistoric city.
The unfortunate inhabitants were
undoubtedly surprised by Hood,
as the streets and houses are filled
with drittwood, leaves and sand.
Many of the bodies found are still
in a perfect state of preservation,
having the appearance of Egyptian
mummies. Vessels of bronze and
numerous gold ornaments are found
in many ofthe houses. Yesterday
we unearthed one of their temples,
in which was an altar and stone
seats; also ornaments of gold, rep
resenting the sun, which gives con-
elusive evidence that they were a
race of sun worshipers. The streets
are macadamized with river bould-
ers, and the houses are bnilt of
stone and adobe, the architecture
corresponding in every particular
to that of the Mexicans of the pres
ent day.
This monument of the sun was
undoubtedly placed there by the
survivors of this Inflated city, many
of whom undoubtedly escaped to
the caves in the immediate vicinity
The why or the wherefore of the
great flood that destroyed this city
will, of course, forever remain {
matter of conjecture. The scene
of our labors is in an out ofthe way
portion of the country, the road tC
which from Hopkinsville, is mere
ly a trail through the canebrake'
and swamps, and the place is total
ly inaccessible during the winter
, freshets. Pond river, Green rive
and Little river all contribute thei
, volume of overflow to fill tn,
swamps. We propose to remov,
all We possibly can to Hopkinsvill,
, before the freshets set in, and also
devise some means to prevent tn,
, overflow of our excavations. Prof

The use of the Republican State
ticket shows more forcibly than
words that the late Ogden faction
did not accept the decision of the
Baton Rouge Convention, that far
from being supporters of the State
ticket they did not hesitate to stab
IL in the back az soon as occasion
offered. The advice of the Jour
nal to the 9Th ward to hide their
heads in shame, could much more
1 appropriately be given to the anti
regulars, who have cause to be
q ashamed of themselves, while the
9th ward made an open fair fight,
4 rs did all the supporters of the reg
! ular ticket, and won. The anti
regulars have four years in which
! TO repent oftheir misdeeds. They
have in fact placed themselves be-
You'd any consideration from the
I Democratic party, by countcnan-
cling a ticket headed by the Repub-
lican nominees for State Offices,
and backing it up; further they
went so far as to scratch the name
of McEnery when they did vote the
Democratic ticket, as his vote OF
7S7 TO Klobloch's vote ofS11 makes
clear. They have done their best
TO defeat McEncry and have for.
fcited tn FIR right to be called Dem.
ocrats, either by voting the Repub.
lican ticket, or scratching the name
of McEnery on sort of half-brect
Democratic ticket. The straight
white ticket SO much talked of re.
ceived 81 votes. Let the facts b,
recorded.
The TINES will not indulge in
recriIpination. We have won tn,
victory and can afford to be tenn
perato. A few words of congratu
lation to the victors cannot certain
" be objected to and the TIMES
heartily congratulates the regular'
on their gallant fight, fight un
stained by any disreputable meth
DDS, and marked by a steadfast un
wayering loyalty to each other
which, while the cause oftheir vic
tory, compels the admiration o
their opponents.

sion. But Mr.. Cowboy didn't get
excited at all when he saw the herd
was going straight for a high bluff,
where they would certainly tumble
down into the canyon and be killed.
You know that when a herd like
that gets to going they can't stop,
no matter whether they rush to
death or not. Those in the rear
crowd those ahead, and away they
go. I wouldn't have given dol
lar a head for that herd, but the
cowboy spurred up his mustang,
made little detour, came in right
in front of the herd, cut across their
paths at right angle, and then
galloped leisurely on to the edge
of that bluff, halted and look
ed around at that wild mass of beef
coming right toward him. He was
as cool as a cucumber, though l
expected to see him killed, and was
so excited I could not speak. Well,
sir, when the leaders had got
within about a quarter of a mile
of him saw them try to slack up,
though they could not do it very
quick. But the whole herd seemed
to want to stop, and when the
COWS and steers in the rear GO
about where the cowboy had cut
across their path, l was surprised
to see them stop and commence t.
nibble at the grass. Then The
whole herd stopped, wheeled, stag
gered back and went to fighting fol
a chance to eat where the rear guarC
was. You see, that cowboy haC
opened a big bag of salt he haC
brought out from the ranch to Civ
the cattle, galloped across the herd
course and empted the bag. Ever!
critter shifted that line of salt, AM
of course, that broke up the STAN
pede. But l tell you it was quee
sight to see that boy sit there OIL
the edge of that bluff quietly roll
ing a cigarette, when it seemed a
if he'd be lying under 200 tons o
beef in about a minute and a half.
