A Sad Disappointment.
Territorial Enterprise.

At Sacrimento the other day
man was on his last legs with
pneumonia. His wife was insur-
ed for several thousand dollars,
and it appeared to him a little
tough that he was to get no fun
out Of all this money. D4termin-
ed to do the best he could under
the circumstances, he made will
that he thought would cover a
portion of the ground. His will
provided that at his funeral every
hack in town should be employed,
aud all his friends and acquaint-
ances invited to attend and take a
ride afterward. All who attend
were also invited to participate in
a grand banquet in the evening at
the hotel, at which brass band,
which should lead the funeral
procession, was to enliven the oc-
casion with music. After making
his will he was so tickled with the
idea Of the whole affair, as he
could see it in his minds eye, and
with the thought Of what large
slice of the insurance he was thus
having the fun of spending, that
he at once began to mend, and in
spite of himself got we'll. Now
he is as far as ever from the insur-
ance money, and mourns the loss
of the grand banquet, the b ass
band and other big things that
were to make his funeral a nota-
BILE event.

loon this week, giving. our
views on Clevefand's cabinet, and
in other respects Winding our bus
mess, when Gringo Baker came
in AMI said we were a liar. We
denied the charge, and told him
he was no gentleman. At this
junctnre, had we not quickly
lodged, he woulda have Knocked
as down; as it was, he only grazed
o III nose. Knowing him to be
drunk, and therefore helpless, we
darted ont OF the saloon and ran
to our office with as much celeri-
ity as our game leg would allow,
and locked ourselves in our sane
tum. Had we not thus hobby re-
Trained from combat we would
soon have wiped the floor with
Gringo Baker. = And yet we I'M
derstand that he calls us a red
nosed coward. We are quite con-
tent to be misunderstood by such
men, and we reiterate in this pub
lie manner 6ursviews on..the cabi-
net for which Gringo called US
liar. We believe that it should

nize literary ability in giving

ing narrative, all eyes were turn
ed upon the visitor, to see how he
received it.

his remark, land do not know even

TAKING CARE OF THE BODY.

The Christian Index, the lead
ing organ Of the Baptist Church
in the South, published in Allan
ia, Ga, in its issue of Dec. 4, 1884,
has the following editorial:
Too many people seem to think
that q religious newspaper should
be confined to the discussion Of
moral and religiousssubjects only,
forgetting that religion has to do
both with the bodies and souls of
men. prove all things, hold fast
that which is good" has as much
to do with the practical side of
life as it has with the moral side.
Our readers will bear testimony
that in all questions discussed in
the Index, the practical has been
duly set forth. In this paragraph,
therefore, we only seek to present
an article worthy of commenda-
ton. After snbjocting it to the
above test we have tried Swift's
Specific and found it good--good
as a blood purifer,good as health
tonic. In this opinion we are sus-
tanned by some of the best men of
the church. Rev. Jesse III. Camp
bell, the Restor of the Baptist de-
nomination in Georgia, says: "It
is my deliberate judgment that
Swift's Specific is the grandest
blood purifier ever discovered.
It's effects are wonderful, and
consider them almost miraculous.
There is no medicine comparable
to it" DR.. II. G. Hornady, one of
the best known ministers in our
church, says: "Swift's Specific
is one of the BEST blood purifiers
in existence.
These brethren speak advisedly.
But few preparations can bring
forward such endorsements. The
Index desires only to endorse
these statements. We have wit
messed the beneficial effects of this
medicine, not only in our own
households, but in several other
cases where seemingly all other
remedies had failed. 1t is purely
a vegetable compound, scientific
ally prepared, and perfectly harm
less in its composition. 1t renews
the blood and builds up broken
down systems-gives tone and Wig
or to the constitution, as we'll as
restores the bloom of health to
the suffering. Therefore we do
not deem it inconsistent with the
duties of religious journal to say
this much in its behalf.

There's a ferryman near my place
who shot at him several times.
The ferryman has horn on the
opposite side of the river for trav-
elers to blow as a signal when
they want to come over. The
mule got onto this racket, and
whenever he gets chance he goes
down to the ferry and brays just
like a horn allowing. On foggy
days the ferryman can't see across
the river, and he don't know
whether it's the mule or travel
er. He told me the other day that
last year he had pulled his
boat over sixty times to answer
that id long-eared mule as
he put it. On my farm / have a
large bell, with rope attached. TO

An old colored man used to attend

see who was ringing it, and, gen.
tlemen, 1 hope l may never get
back to Alabama, if it wasn't that
mulel Yes, sir; and that mule
has been ringing that bell ever
since at daybreak every morning.
Not only this, but he canters down
between the negro cabins, just as
the old man used to do, to see that
everybody gets out on time. The
old man had a way of kicking on
the door of a hand who did not
move out brisk, and one morning
the mule followed his example.
In a certain cabin there was a
very lazy colored family that new
er stirred until everybody else
was at work. Just at daybreak
the mule backed up to the door
and gave a kick with both feet
that sent the whole family through
the back window. The mule didn't
know it, however, and he kept on
kicking. The next day it took
four carpenters to put that cabin
together again. Gentlemen, as ]
remarked before, that mules the
