A Dead Shot.

A lot of tourists were on the beach at
Los Angeles the other day, watching
some fancy rifle-shooting by party OF
professional otter-hunters who had
come over from the Channel Islands for
Sunday lark. These really wonder
full marksmen, most of them native
Californians,, were killing gulls on the
water, breaking bottles and hitting
dollars thrown in the air, with great
eclat, when dudish-looking young
man from Frisco vawned in bored
manner, and remarked in very audi
BILE voice to a companion that he didn' t
see anything very wonderful in that
sort of shooting.
This produced a series of sarcastic
ally polite retorts on the part of the
original lords of the soil. ''Perhaps the
gentleman could show them something
better?'
"Well, I don't know" replied the
young man, languidly taking one OF
the hunters Winchesters. 81 might il
somebody would hold cork or some
thing on his, head for me-"
The rihemen showed their white teeth
with amusement.
doubtless" said one of them, wink
ing at his companions, "doubtless the
gentleman's friend would oblige him.
'Why, to be sure" drawled the dude
looking round. But his fellow-dude had
sauntered off and was standing some
800 yards further along the beach,
meditatively smoking a Longtime.
"Ah! there's Cholly,' said the languid
party, cooking the gun. "Let me see
You observe that cigar he has. in hi
mouth. Very well. I'll put ;
hole through that" and, taking care
less sight. he fired. AT the report th'
smoker gave a sudden start, took on
and examined his Havana, and thel
shook his fist angrily.
The entire crowd ran toward him
Sure enough, there was a hole RICH
through the centre of the cigar, almos
cutting it in half.
sThat's the fourth cigar you'v,
spoiled for me,n said the smoking dude
in a vexed tone. II wish you'd stol
that sort of thing"
AS for the other hunters, they looked
at each other in mortified silence for
| few minutes, then climbed into thei
| boat and set sail. ttssg
That's the most wonderful shot
ever saw" said an old gentleman to tn
shooter the next morning. "Such
terrible risk, too"
Nothing wonderful about it," sal,
the California Tell, confdentially. "Al
you have to do is to have your confed
crate cut hole in the cigar with apen
knife beforehand. It's boss scheme!'

An Hour in a Country POstoflice.

"Haye you letter from Michael Mo-
ran? He's over in Cannidy an we re
expectin' bit av note from him."
The above inquiry was addressed to
the clerk in Northern Michigan post
office by lady who, upon receiving a
letter. gave him "thank we, sor," and
passed out.
'See some strange folks here in the
course of a year, don't you?" | ven
tured to inquire.
swell, | should remark. That lady
was specimen, and if she hadn't re-
celved that letter she'd have given me
the particulars of Mr. Moran's history.
No matter what branch of business a
man engages in, he will strike class of
people that we call chronics, and the
post-office always comes in for q GEN
erous share of them. In the dry goods
business the chronic is the lady who
tumbes the goods over an hour or two
and then buys yard of green ribbon.
AT the grocer's he is the man who sits
on the wood-box until half the lights in
the store are out, and then wants q
piece of pork, some lard and q pound
of goldfish

They'll come in, oily as a lawyer

you to collect for them; ask you a
thousand questions, and stand around

patrons?"
''Lots of them. The other dav fell

write. He was about half shot and

for him, and | wrote it, too, you bet
They were going to be married and he
wanted her to be clothed in her purple

''How about handwriting"
"Just gaze on that" handing me a
letter addressed to

The address covered the face of the
envelop leaving no room for the stamp,
which was placed on the back, The
writing would paralyze a schoolma' am
and was done with blue ink.
THAT letter doesn't lack for address
any way" I remarked.
That's where you are mistaken.
Such people as the writer of that letter
will cover an envelope with ink and
then omit the State
elbow aboutreading postals?' asked
as he was posting up a notice to Please

Nov, that's another piece of nom
sense. We don't read three month,

plying with the postal laws. The only
postal ever read and remembered was
sent by a lawyer to doctor with this
inscription: 'The harvest is past, the
summer is ended and your account is
not paid. Why is this?' -
Just then the door opened and an ex-
ceedingly pretty girl came in. The
hint the clerk had given me regarding
the staying qualities of book agents was

A FASHION of speech in some quar-
tiers, when referring to the workman
who does not appear on Monday
morning is: "He got the Monday
blight" That is the correct term--the
blight and pity of pities is it that SO
often it is not merely the Monday
blight but the blight of whole life.
Good friends, what are you doing to
dispel this blight? Blight of body,
blight of brain, blight of the spirit

SALES OF PUBLIC LANDS.

The sales Of public lands for the year
ending June 30th. last, as reported by
the General Land Office, give some idea
of the rapidity with which the newer
States and Territories are being popu.
lated, and show in what direction the
tide of emigration was setting during
that time. OF the 26,S34, 04l acres
sold, ll,0S2,SlS, or about two-fifths,
were in Dakota. Nebraska came next,
with 3,l05, SIS acres; then Minnesota,
with ] ,646, 46S acres. Louisiana comes
fourth, on account of over 1000, 900
acres being granted to railroads, but
Kansas, California and Washington
Territory each had over 1000, 900 acres
sold credited to them, while no other
State or Territory had as much as that
amount. This shows that the North
west still receives the bulk of new set
tiers. The increase of emigration to
Dakota is remarkable. la the fiscal
year of 1881 only $500 acres were sold
in that Territory. The building of the
Northern Pacific, aud the efforts it
made to attract settlers, increased the
sales in 1882 to about 4, 500, 900, which
was doubled in 1883. and even that
