An Old.Time "Rustler. /,

"Oh, yes, there were great 'rustlers
in those days in California" remarked
the old forty-niner. "You see the gold
had about played out in 90, and sharr
men had hard time making a living,
for everybody all of sudden com,
menced to get poor. and six others
were working for an old fellow named
Col. Friday, who lived in great bar
racks of house on the Mokelumne
River. 1t was all that was left of old
Mokelumne City. Friday had been
rich once, but now the old man was
poor as Jobs turkey, and all he had
was fiatboat, an old horse, that wreck
OF house, and q pretty young wife

where or how. The old man was try-
ing to make q living cutting willow
cordwood and floating it down in his
Hat to Sacramento. We fellows cut
the wood for him at 70 cents a day and
chuck. One night there came along an
old-time rustler. He lowed he'd never
worked and he never intended to. He
didn't have cent, but we all slept on
the floor wherever we pleased in our
own blankets, and he borrowed a
blanket and did the same. For two or
three days the 'rustler' didn't do any
thing but borrow tobacco and get credit
at the whisky-jug old Col. Friday called
his bar Then fellow came in from
the San Joaquin wheat-felds, where
he'd been harvesting, pretty flush. He
was a nippy sort of fellow, and thought
he'd like to be a great gambler. The
'rustler' took him under instructions.
Somebody had given him cigar, and
efo ResvI Rarftf' money hand Won.
They played two days and a night
steady, and then the 'rustler' had all
the money of the man that came in
from San Joaquin-'bout $50 reckon

charcoal on board, and opened bust |

thing we had in the world, and on orr
backs to boot, and the Jug of whisky
was empty. Then, when no one had |
anything more to bet, the rustler lay
around yawning for day or two, while
We fellows went to work chopping wood

to drown the 'rustler' afore we started

in vain for the 'rustler.' The cuss had
taken the fatboat, put the old horse

Col. Fridays pretty wife with him, had

Rejoicing In London.

The first news Of the SHOOTING Of Rosa
was bulletined in this city at midnight. It
caused the widest excitement among the
people on the streets and around the popu-
lar resorts at that hour. Men gathered in
groups at corners 10 exchange comments
upon the affair. and the general IMPRESSION
was that Of satisfaction. Persons who had
learned Of the shooting stopped even those
who were strangers TO them TO ask If they
had heard the news. There were frequent
hand shakings of congntulation, and even
hurrahs, and men rushed 10 the bars In the
hotels shouting out the good news and laud-
ing as heroine the assailant Of the much-
despised dynamiter.

ROssa's Career.

jeremiah ODonovan has been con-
spicuous figure in Irish national affairs for
years, says a New York dispatch. He
tackled on the word "Rossa," which in
Gaelic means "red," after reaching this
country. After having been discharged
from an English prison, he came to this
country with Thomas Francis Bourke, DR..
Denis Bowling Mulcahy, and John Dewey,
about 1869. He was engaged in number
of enterprises in New York, having been
ticket agent for transatlantic line of
steamers and hotel-kesper. He ran for
State Senator in the Fourth Senatorial
District against William NJ. Tweed,
and was badly defeated. He opened hotel
at the corner of Chatham Square and Mott
street, which for while did good bust
ness, being great resort for Irish Nation
alists. His custom fell of, after time,
and Rosa was compelled to shut up the
place. He subsequently founded the United
IrishmGn, q radical dynamite organ, and of
which sheet he is the purported editor.
ODonovan Rosa is SO years of age, but
remarkably well preserved for his years.
He has wife and FIVE children. and lives
with bis family in his own house, at No. %

THE NEW ORLEANS ENPOsA-
TEON.

Adyices srom New Orleans state that
applications for space in the various
buildings of the American Exposition,
to open on November 10th, are daily
pouring in from States, cities and large
business firms in all parts of the United
States; while the countries OF Mexico,
Central and Soute America, as well as
important places in Europe, are
sending in large quota. In fact,
where at the outset, the filling OF the
oceans of vacant space caused the pro-
motors of the enterprise no lnconsidera-
BILE anxiety, the situation has in
the past few months been entirely re-
versed and the management deem it
their duty to inform those exhibitors
who have not yet applied for space TO
do SO at once, ere it be too late. While
this is, of course, very gratifying state
of affairs, that the management is able
to announce, still it shows the necessity
of city and individual exhibitors who
have thus far failed to make their ap
plications for space doing SO immediate
ately. There is no longer any question
of the success of the American Exposi-
ton; it has been constructed upon sound
business principles; it is operated by
business men, TO solve the commercial
problem of the day-the securing OF an
outlet for our surplus manufactured pro-
ducts. The non-m manufacturing count
ries of Spanish and Portuguese America
are looked to the relief needed. At the
coming Exposition they will contrast
their resources with ours, and afford the
opportunity of reaching an early under
standing for the establishment of bust
ness relations OF mutual advantage.
This question of new trade relations
for merchants of the United States
necessitates prompt action on the part
of our manufacturers and business men,
in order that they shall be represented
in the magnificent Exposition to take
place in New Orleans, this Winter.

SENATOR JOHN DENNIS, of the
Times -RevieaV, claims that it is unjust
to say that Fair has not influence enough
to keep the Carson Mint open, tor the
reason that under the Republican ad
ministration there were no efforts made
to close the Mint, and Jones therefore
was not required TO exert his influence
to any great extent. We believe that
there have been propositions to close
the Mint under Republican Presidents,
and claim that it was through Jones
that it was kept running. And we also
believe that if Mr.. Dennis was In Fairs
position he would have been able to do
more to keep the Mint open than did
the Hon. James &.

The attempts to introduce the
American brook trout into English
waters have not been attended with
success. During the last ten or twelve
years thousands of fry have at various
times been turned into different waters,
but in no instance has the fish really
been established. Occasionally spec
linen is taken here and there, but as
years 60 by there is no praceptible in
crease, while in some waters, which
were literally stocked, they have dis
appeared altogether.

THE postmaster at Ellsworth,
Mass, has been recommended for re-
moval for mailing circulars at his Office
that should have been mailed at Boston
thus increasing his salary, which is
based upon the number of stamps can
celed. The postoffice inspectors inves
LEGATIONS have revealed the fact that
there are persons in the large cities who
make business of furnishing and ad-
dressing great quantities of circulars
for firms free Of cost, upon the payment
of one.c cent postage upon each circu'
lar. They take these circulars to a
small village postofice and stipulate
with the postmaster for share in his
commissions, and this share, it seems,
is large enough to make the business
lucrative.

"A WELL. INFORMED Maine man S

A WELL. INFORMED Maine man says
of Blaine: stIt is fact that his politi-
cal admirers in Maine do not acquiesce
in the remarks recently uttered by Gov
ernor Long OF Massachusetts,, and think
he was altogether too previous in what
he said about Mr.. Blaine as PreSiden-
tial candidate. 1t is understood Blaine
does not consider his strength impaired
in consequence of his defeat, which he
attributed more to the Burchard Incl
dent than anything else. Further than
this he is close. mouthed. When a can
didate is beaten by SO close margin as
Blaine was, and receives the largest
vote ever thrown for minority candi-
date, it is hardly reasonable to presume
that the Presidential bee in his bonnet
has flown. 1t is a marked trait in
Blaine's character that whenever his
personal aspirations have met with a
check to pick his flint and try again.
One thing is certain, he is not shelved
in American politics. >"
