He Didn't Get Excited.

From Weaona (IH.) Inder.
A stranger sat in the corner of the car
going to New York, in an easy attitude
his feet upon large black trunk The
getlemanly conductor, going his rounds at
the first station politely informed the stran-
ger that that was no place for trunk, it
must be put in baggage car.
To which the stranger nothing replied
At the second station the displeased con-
ductor more decidedly told the stranger
that he must put the trunk in the baggage
car.
The stranger seemed perfectly indiffer-
ent. At the third station the vexed con-
ductor more imperatively told the stranger
that he must put the trunk in the baggage
car, or it would be put off the train.
The stranger kept perfectly quiet.
At the fourth station the irate conductor
had the trunk put off and left.
At the fifth station the Modified condue-
tor, addressing the stranger, begged him
to remember that he had but done what
his duty required, and that he had done il
only after repeated warnings, and that ii
was solely the strangers fault
To which the stranger laconically re
piled:

Arthur Gilman, the architect, who died
few years since, in his early years was
impecunious, but disposed to get all he
could out Of life. On one occasion he was
arrested for debt, and went before mag
istrate to take the poordebtor's oath. He
was questioned sharply as to his style of
living. He admitted that he boarded at
the fremont House, then kept by Paran
Stevens, and that he paid $50 per week
for board. "Bat, said the magistrate,
'sdon't you think that is pretty high price
for poor debtor to pay?" "That's what
I've been telling Stevens all winter, but it
has no effect on him."

Powdered Crab as Medicine.

A Russian paper says: During the
last fifteen years the inhabitants of a
malarial locality in Kharkoo govern
ment in Russia have used the crab
powder with great success against the
fevers. The powder is prepared in
the following way: Live crabs are
poured over with the ordinary whisky
until they get asleep, then they are
put on bread pan in a hot oven,
thoroughly dried and pulverized, and
the powder passed through a fine
sieve. One dose, a teaspoonful, is
generally sufficient to cure the inter.
mittent fever; in very obstinate cases
a second dose is required. Each dose
is invariably preceded by glass o.
aloe brandy, as purgative. The
powder is used in that locality in pref
erence to quinine."

cation Of the Future Output Of
Wealth-Etc.
No mining region heretofore DIS
covered contains such wealth and va
riety of metal-bearing material as is
found within the limits of Alturas
county.
Along the Snake river, the wealth
washed down for ages from the very
back bone of the continent is just be-
ginning to be uncovered by the hardy
placer miner, and the flow of the hith-
erto unseizable flour gold is gradually
being arrested by the burlap. The
yield of the Snake river placers within
the boundaries of Alturas county last
year, did not exceed $25, 900; hut, now
that the claim-owners have learned
how to save their gold, it will proba-
bly, amount, this year, to $25O,0OO.
On the extreme eastern end of the
county, out toward Martins, copper,
lead and silver bearing lodges have
been discovered, which are full OF
promise. Several trial shipments were
made last year, which Melted from $50
to $500 per ton. This year these
properties will be opened and devel-
oped, and their yield will be quite
considerable.
Nearer home, in the Little Wood
River region, the Muldoon mines,
smelter and concentrating works are
located. These are purely silver-lead
hedges, with sufficient copper to form
"glance."
The district yielded about $4,000
last year, and will quadruple that
amount this year.
