BRuHEAU VALLEY, Aug. 90.
To Tms BuLIrrS:
A circumstance took place here in
the Valley which | think would be
worthy OF notice in your paper.
The fracas was a. follows: Il appears
SAINT Robertson sold horse To one
Leonard Wilson some time ago. Will
son came 10 Mr.. Roberson's ranch on
last Sunday the 18th instant and
claimed the horse wasn't as repre-
sented in the sale. That be wasn't
properly.castrated. which gave him a
great deal of annoyance, etc. Rober-
son denied the charge and said he
would bet $500 that he Was right, and
10 prove IL they would kin the animal
and investigate the trouble. This APP
peared TO make Wilson (wlo WAS set.
ting down at the tiine) fighting mad.
He threw off his spurs. jumped to his
feet, stacked his garments and urdered
Robertson 10 fight, and To prove the
faith that was in him, he planked a
twenty dollar note on the result which
was quickly covered by Robertson. II
was now amicably agreed upon that
the men should fight TO finish, nc.
cording TO the rules of the London
prize ring. Ben. Robertson acted Ms
second for his namesake while man
by the name OF McLain acted in the
same capacity for Wilson. The pre-
liminaries were arranged and suit
able place selected for the occasion.
There was "a foot ring marked on
close to the Bruneau river, and both
men stripped tn the waist, SHE'D their
casters and stepped in to the arena.
AT the call OF time they both toed the
mark.
Round both men eyed each
other cautiously and SPARED for an
opening. Wilson led with his left
duke but was neatly stopped by
Robinson who countered and caught
his man over the left optic, which
brought flow Of tears from that or
gan AS though all belonging to him
were dead. There was some short
arm work and clinch. Wilson went
10 grass.
Round 2--Robinson came 10 the
scratch with a smile on his phiz, while
his opponent wore "a look OF anger and
revenge. Robinson let go pile
driver and bifIed his antagonist on the
right pepper but before he could get
away lie got rib roaster that sounded
like the report of u pistol. There Was
some rapid exchanges and a elineh.
Wilson threw Robertson with cross
bullock.
Round 3-Bolh men came up with
scowl and went at IT. ham mer and
tongues aud banged each Other re-
gardIess of rules. Robertson let go his
right IA. pure John l., Sullivan style
and felled his man ike an OK.
Round Both men were bleeding
profusely and had blood in their eye;
they rushed mt each other like mad
bulls. Wilson led Off a corker on
Roberson's bread basket but got re-
turn on the mouth which made his
teeth Jingle like sleigh bells. Slug
ging was the characteristic OF this
round all through and the honors
were about even.
Round 5--Roberson led with his
right and got in good one on VIII
son's wind which appeared 10 dage
him; he followed up his advantage
aud raIned blows in on Wilson I'LL he
fell in heap in his corner. He was
completely knocked out and his
seconds threw up the spong. But

A Sea Captains Luck.

Captain Warren Taylor, of Saco, Me-,
has captured whale off Bryant's Rock,
from which he distracted five pounds Of
ambergris. This valuable perfume,
which also has the remarkable power Of
increasing the odor OF other perfumes, is
found floating on the sea or lying on the
sea coast, and in the intestines of the
spermaceti whales, and is worth more
than s. an ounce. 1t is gray, morbid
secretion Of the liver Of the spsrmaceti
whale, and when Of good quality is
streaked with black and yellow, exhales
an agreeable odor if rubbed or heated,
and il 30 soft that it may be fiattened in
the fingers. 1t contains about eighty
five per cent. Of peculiar fatty. fra grant
substance, called amberine, which is ex-
tracted by boiling in alcohol, and sepa-
rating the crystals that form in the
cooled solution. 1t is thought that the
substance is product of disease. The
Jumps of it are from three inches to a
foot in diameter, and from one to thirty
pounds in weight. The largest piece
ever known weighed 1s2 pounds. Cap
tain Warren feels elated over his find,
which will net him many hundred dol

sired pattern is pasted on the top shell,
and with a highly-tempered and fine jig
saw the design is cut out. The combs
are then given to the carvers, who fin
ish the work.
During the past year the business has
been satisfactory because of slight in
crease over the preceding year in the
volume of business. In the ivory
branch the work is divided into two
branches, turner's and carvers. The
wages of the former range from $40 to
$l4 week, and of the latter from $l2 to
S1S for the same period. Like the wood
carvers, their hours are ten day. For
some years there has been no material
change in the wages of either branch,
each man being paid in accordance with
the ability he possesses. The wages
paid in this city compare favorably with
those paid in other places. The busy
seasons in the trade are in the spring
and fall of each year, but it may be said
of the business that it is fairly steady.
The machinery used in the places where
this work is done are circular and jig
saws of the finest texture, lathes for
turning and presses for drilling holes

Half million dollars year Is a
princely sum to spend on the advertising
of single article, says Printers Ink,
but that is the figure named as the an
nual expenditure, for several years past,
on bringing and keeping before the
public the merits of certain English
make of soap, with results so satisfactory
to the maker and vender that there is
no thought of doing else than enlarging
the expenditure as fast as it can Judi
ciously be done. We have in mind an
American make of soap that has been
advertised from nothing to an enormous
sale within very few years. The fact
that both of these brands of soap are OF
exceeding goodness may account, to
some extent, for such great success in
placing an article over which there is
almost as much competitor as in the case
of baking powders.

THEY LIVE BY CARVING.
An Interesting Description of the
Wood Carver's Trade

There are few trades requiring more
skill than those of carving and turning
in wood and ivory. The Exit" of these
mechanics comprise chisels and gouges
of various sizes, and what's called ~"
tool. In carving heads, images or de-
signs of different kinds of wood the
block is first brought into rough shape
with the gouges, and, when this is done,
the other tools are used alternately
down to the finishing, which is done
with the finer chisels The carving of
woodwork of this description, which
does not apply to furniture, is done out
and out by the workmen, and for day
of ten hours they receive so. so to SIS.
The work is fairly steady the year round.
and child labor or convict labor have no
terrors for wood carvers.
As rule the business of ivory carv-
ing is combined with that of wood carv-
ing, the same work being done in most
of the places, and at the same time a
few of them do what they call tortoise
shell work. There are three kinds of
ivory used in the manufacture of various
articles made from this material. The
best is imported from Africa, and at
times tusks are had as much as six feet
in length and weighing nearly one hun
dred pounds.
The price of these tusks ranges from
$3.50 to So pound, according to quail
ity. There is a smaller tusk from the

old gent on the street she will dexter

Chinese Gambling Game.

l am asked by presumably q Chinese
American how Fan-Tan is played. This
is the way: The dealer draws a handful
of coin from pile of Chinese money and
places it beneath brass cover. Then
he proceeds to draw out four coins at a
time until less than four remain of the
entire handful. Whatever number OF
coins remain, whether it be three, two,
or one, designates score on card
which determines the bet
Ii one of the Cinnamon who are bet
ting has CHANGED to select the number
on the score which corresponds to the
number of coins left out of the handful,
he is winner. The amount staked de-
ponds upon the option of the player.
Small amounts are usually bet, but as
large sum as $3.50 is sometimes staked.
The proprietors of the gambling
houses make something, out of every
game, for they extort a commission Of
Z or s per cent. on winnings Of those who
play. Mrs. Grumpy.

amazement. The side-iewels in the brass

rayed light of a genuine gent

Uncle Blight was questioned as to the
history of the "Asteria, but he could
give them no definite information. His
mind was weak, and interrogatories be-
wildered him. He had bought the stage
lewelry, he said, OF the auction of one
Madame Jurati, an old actress who died
a few months before he left Sydney. He
had done so simply because Madame
Jurati had once acted on the boards with
himself, and he desired to possess a me-
mento of her. That was all he knew.
1t had been rainy day, and there were
few bidders, else he could not have af-
forded even the few shillings that he had
paid for the outfit
Sand have given it to little Molly, !"
he said. "Molly reads to the old man
and keeps him company. Molly shall
wear the crown"
So the Star Sapphire drifted back
across the ocean to it's original owner,
no one knew through what clouds of
mist and tradition. And Colonel Gran
ger bought it of the Sepples for a sum
which handsomely cleared off their
debts and left a surplus to begin the
world with anew.
On Thanksgiving Day they sat down
to dinner as nearly as possible like
that which Kitty's mother had been
wont to prepare in the old farm house
by the sea.
There was genuine turkey, with
chicken-pie and cranberry -tarts; there
were red apples and gold-edged pump
kin-pies, and flaming autumn leaves. t0
deck the board; and there was pitcher
OF country cider and plenty of hickory
nuts atterward.
"It's worth crossing the sea for this
Thanksgiving dinner" said Uncle
Blight. with beaming face
But before the moon rose he crossed
a deeper, darker sea. They found him
sitting placidly before the fire, with
eyes closed as if in sleep. And as Simon
Sepple drew his wife reverently away,
he said:
'Heaven bless his silver hairs, Kitty,
for he has brought us blessing."-

The Perennial Boxwood.

That charming and valuable little ever
green tree, the lockwood, whose wood is
essential to the engraver's art, the ebony
of the temperate zone and tie tavorite
of cabinet makers, is tree that Arizo-
mans ought to plant. It makes at the
utmost tree OF not more than thirty
feet in height, and its growth is pro-
verbally slow. Still, there is profit in
the wood. Circassia and Georgia in Asia
were the home of the box, and as the
tree was carried over Europe all objects
that were first made of lockwood took
their names from the tree, and so we can
trace its wanderipgs through philology.
The box is propagated by seeds, cut
tings and layers.

Rescued From Savage Elephant.

At Cynthiana, KY, as Mr.. Strohn, a
well-known merchant Of that place, was
passing through covered bridge, he
encountered the elephant Chief, belong
ing to Robinson's circus, and stepped to
the side Of the bridge to get out Of the
elephants way. This seemed to enrage
the elephant, and with stroke OF it's
trunk it knocked Mr.. Strohn between
the inner and outer walls of the bridge.
Chief then underworld to butt in the
walls OF the structure, and in all proba-
bility would have killed Mr.. Strohn had
not the elephant Mary been rushed to
the scene. She beat Chief with her
trunk until he ran out of the bridge.
Strohn was then taken out in an uncon-
scious condition and carried to his home.
He was severely injured about the head.
and for awhile it was believed he would
die. Since then, however, he has i'm
proved.
