The Meanest Mantle has latel

The Meanest Mantle has lately
peen discovered in Canada. His wife
was i'll, and the doctor ordered wine.
As a good article was not procurable
at the ordinary place of supply the
doctor furnished some from his own
cellar. The woman died, and, when
the medical attendants bill was pre-
sented, the broken-hearted widower
declined to pay it because his beloved
wife had not been saved. Compelled,
however, by process of law to liquidate
the account, he took his revenge by
making a complaint against the doctor
for selling LIQUOR without license.

The Beautiful Steer.


Miss Ella Paxton, known as the
s'cow-girl of Pan Handle" recently
favored an enlightened western au-
dience with the following original
production, which, in her Introductory
remarks she styled paradox" on
Beautiful Snow. She also stated that
it was "paradoxed" while sitting on
her horse on day-herd on her fathers
ranch in Pan Handle, situated about
three miles from Mobeetie, Texas:
o, the steer, the beau tiful steer.
Kicking the feas from the point of his ear,
Flapping its tail in its frolicsOme glee,
Hopping about like Snake river flea
Believing!
Roaring.
LAUNDERING along.
Filling the air with its steerical song
Till the rumble frsm its lung-laden pits
Scare timid jaek-rabits and wolves into fits.
To me there is nothing on earth deor
AS the long-horned, slim-bodied Texican steer.
How often wish that a steer.
With long shiny horn at the butt of each ear;
With clear fearless eye, and tapering tail.
That would snap like whip in the maddening
gale,
How I'd below.
And roari
And paw up the ground
Lope over the hills with a laundering sound,
And snort like a terror, and hump up my back
When saw a wild cowboy pursuing my track,
And I'd laugh at his oaths as he fell to the rear,
Oh I'd be JOe-dandy if a steerI
onced roped beautiful steer-but fell,
Fell from my pony with ear-piercing yell!
Fell with the lariat fast to my waistI
| Fell to be dragged through grass wet with mist.
Dumping!
| Rolling!
Grunting went!
A full mile minute, 1 don't want a cent.
Gravel and grass yanked the hide from my
| And ruined pair of forty cent hoes!
| Aye, my hustle thrown out OF gear,
By the frolicsoIae freak of that beautiful steer.

Charming Ignorance.

The New Orleans Pycauae relates
the following incident as having &C.
cured on Mississippi steamer:
A few days since there was we'd
ding on Baronne street, celebrated
with great eclat, and the newly mar
ried couple set out at once on bridal
tour. The ceremony took place
at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and at
o'clock they were on board a splen-
did steamer bound for the upper
Mississippi. As soon as the vessel
was under way, the passengers
crowded the saloon, and mirth and
revelry began to hold festival. A dance
was improvised, and JOY and merri-
ment was protracted into the 'wee
sma' hours" =.
Now it so happened that the berth
next to our newly married friends was
occupied by lively little matron and
infant. Wishing to enjoy as much
pleasure as possible, she had intrusted
her infant to a servant, with instruc-
tions to put it to bed as soon as it
should go to sleep, while she herself
joined in the dance.
By strange mistake the servant
misstook the stateroom, and deposited
the rosy infant III the bridal couch.
Now when the hour of retiring came
the groom led his blushing bride to
the door and modestly waited outside
for her to disrobe and retire. One
can readily imagine his establishment,
therefore, when the next instant he
heard his name called frantically, and
in accents of surprise and distress.
Opening the door, he looked in dubi-
Ously and said:
whats the matter, my lover"
go, Henry, look here?"
"Why bless me, its q bahy!"
Eyes. but o, Henry, how did it
come here,-do you think it is ours?"
"Well mol" replied Henry, solemnly,
Il think it is almost to soon.'
Eyes it certainly is, but then
what shall we do?"
Just then the anxious voice of the
mother was heard inquiring for the
baby much to the relief Of the young
people.

j. M. Davis, the man indicted and

the sentence was pronounced, but as
Davis plead guilty of the charge
preferred against him before his wife
claims to have bought the goods the
county will appear to have the best
claim on them.
