GOOD = access.

GOOD Success.
About the 2olh of November last
Robert Kemp and William Wear, Two
vi our we'll known ciIiz~ns, starred out
on a regular tapping ami hunting ex'
curslon. They provided themselves
with horse and buggy and took some
twenty traps along with them, besides
guns and ammunition. They took along a
cooking stove and lots Of provisions, and
had large tent that made a very COM
Portable house TO live in. They coursed
the Humboldt river for about forty mile
up from this place, and found lots Of
game, and their success in trapping was
up to their most sanguine expectations.
1hey returned home on April LIST, hav-
ing been absent over Iour months.
They found lots Of game, and succeed.
ed In trapping many animals that were
valuable lor their iurs. They brought
home the skins OF forty beavers, the
most Of which were very large, and we
noticed among them one htlle baby
beaver skin; ten very beautiful otter
skins; eight lynx skins, beautiful sPeci-
mems OF that ieroclous animal; six coy.
ote skins, which make hne iurs, twelve
mink skins, which are highly valued;
one badger skin; twenty -iour skunk
skins OF the large kind, and which are
valuable Tor fur, and twelve muskrat
SKINS, which are small, but the tur is
very nice. They represent thar they
had a night good time, and found il more
profitable tor them Than TO remain in
Town durIng the Winter. They propose
to send their iurs to the San francisco
market, and will realize quite a sum Of
money from the sale OF Ihem.- S,|ver

cane, but nice little stick with a shep-

Sometimes she swung it and at other
times she strack the ground with .

this created sensation, but there is .
great deal of difference Of opinion as to
whether the craze will strike in or not
So FAR not more than half dozen girls

WHY SQUIRRELS COUGH.
A Indian Legend Of the Magical Prodse
tiOn OF Food.

A Indian Legend Of the Magical Prodss.
tion OF Food.
Another illustration in Indian legends
Of the magical production Of food is the
delightful explanation Of the reason why
squirrels cough. Mannabozho came
one day to the lodge of the red-h.aded
wood-pecker, and, being invited in, sat
down. Now there was nothing for the
guests to eat, so the bird few on the
lodge-pole (Which was the pole Of
tamarack-tree) and, after q few pecks
with his beak, found a crevice out Of
which he pulled something, and 10! it
was o fine raccoon. This feat he per-
formed half dozen times in succession,
and then the squaws came in and pre-
pared the feast. Next day the red
headed wood-pecker returned tho
visit, the Manabozho, who was not
going to be beaten by bird, had taken
care to have new lodge bhilt round a
tamarack-tree; so, apologizing just as
the wood-pecker had done, for having
nothing in the larder, he hoped up
toward the pole, and clinging to 1t as
he had seen the bird do, began rapping
I his nose against the wood. Unable to
find any raccoons, he got SO angry that
he knocked his head too hard against
the pole, and fell down on the floor
stunned. And the woodpecker went of
in a huff. A few days later Manabozho
was standing at his door, wondering how
he could get even with his neighbOr,
especially as it was the depth Of winter
and there was nothing but roots to eat,
when he saw two men carrying bear.
He gotinto conversation with them, and,
speaking Of his own magical powers,
was asked to give an exhibition of them.
This he did at once by turning one of the
two men into stone. "And now turn
him back into man," said the other.
OH" said Manabozho, II can not do
that. only know the first half of the
trick" So the second hunter, unable to
drag the bear all by himself, left it at
ManabOzho's door; whereupon that ras-
cal at once invited all his friends to the
great feast, and was prodigiously inn
portant and fussy at being able to ask
them to come and eat good bears meat
at time when every one was living on
roots. But alas! as each one filled his
mouth the bears meat turned into
ashes, and. one after the other, the
guests began coughing as if they were
going to choke. The more they ate the
worse the coughing grew, and at last
the host, in his indignation, turned
them into squirrels, and that is why
squirrels cough so much.-E1change.

The manner in which steel is super.

The manner in which steel is supet-
seding the use of iron in various dires-
tons is further illustrated by the use,
1t present, Of hardened and tempered
steel wire apon cards for cotton and
wool. The average life Of suit Of
card clothing upon cotton is stated to
be about six years, and upon wool con-
siderably less than that. The use Of
steel wire in place of iron has not been
tested long enough to determine its
comparativedurability; but it is claimed
to do better work, and to require less
frequent grinding. On this account, Il
is said, textile manufacturers are dis
posed to incur the increased cost,
amounting to from fifty to one hundred
per cent. above that OF the common
wire. rlf-iaiH a..,.

Where Morgan Fell.

A writer in the Pittsburgh Dispatch
had pointed out to him in Greenville,
Tenn, marble slab in an oat field
near an old fashioned brick mansion.
It marks the spot where Morgan, the

The story told is that the owner OF
the mansion, DR.. Williams, was an ar.
dent Unionist, while his wife was: &

other to entertain both sides impair,

guests of the other. Nine months

acting as surgeon for the federals at

had sweetheart in the federal caval

slipped out after supper, saddled a
horse and rode at full speed to the
Union force with the information. A
detachment reached the house in the
gray of the morning and spread out
around it. The sentlnels opened fire,
and Morgan with two aids broke out
OF the rear door and dashed through
the hostile force amid a shower of bull,

Senator Stanford's Parrot.

Washington Correspondence.
1t cost him several hundred dollars,
and is wonderfully educated bird.
It speaks four languages-English,
French, German and Italian. The
strange part OF it is, that the parrot,
as soon as he hears any one speak,
knows in what language to address
the person. For long while no one
knew that the parrot spoke Italian,
until one day an Italian artist came
to the house to do some work, and
the parrot heard him talk. At once
the parrot started off to jabber Ital-
ian, and had quite a conversation
with the man. It always talks Ger
man to the German servant, and
French to the maid. The parrot,
when any one comes down in the morn
ing says: Good morning; l hope
you rested we'll" He is very partic-
ular, and one day when a stranger
went up to him and said, pretty
Polly! Polly want a cracker" hequite
astonished the person by saying, ooh
stop that foolishness. Can'tyou talk
sense? am tired of that rot" The
parrot has not learned to say chestnut
yet, but very often, when asked If he
wants q cracker, says: chats old;
give me something new" He longs
to sing, and knows "Peek-a boo,"
and chants it loudly at times to the
amusement of all in hearing. The
parrot has its favorites among the
inmates of the Stanford residence,
and will talk for hours with them.

A Bell's Five Hundred Years,
London Times.

AOuuOu 4Aut6.
The city of Breslau celebrated the
five hundredth anniversary of an oc.
currence which was memorable in the
history OF the town and is known
wherever German poetry finds a
nome. The bell which hangs in the
southern tower of St. Mary's church
and is named est. Mary's bell," but
is usually known as "thep oor sinners
bell,' rang out morning and evening
on July z to remind all who heard it
that it was cast on that day five hun
dred years ago. Next day (Sun.
day. the preacher reminded his con.
gregation OF the pathetic story which
has made it singular among bells,
how, when all was ready for casting
the bell founder withdrew for few
moments, leaving a boy in charge OF
the furnace, warning him not to med.
die with the catch that secured the
seething metal in the caldron. But
the boy disregarded the caution, and
then, terrified on seeing the molten
metal beginning to flow into the mold,
called to the bell founder for help.
Rushing in and finding What he had
intended to be his masterpiece ruined,
as he thought, angered to madness,
he slew the boy on the spot. When
the metal had cooled and the mold
was opened, the bell was found to be
an exquisite work perfect in finish and
OF marvellous sweetness of tone. Com.
ming to his senses, he recognized his
bloody work and straightway gave
himselfup to the magistrates. "Blood
for blood" was the law; he was con.
demned to die, and he went to his
doom while his beautiful bell pealed
an invitation to all to pray for .stthe
poor sinner" whence its name. w.
Muller has enshrined the sad story in
a ballad of touching simplicity.
