His Picture Killed Him.

One day a man came over to our
mine, which was about seven miles
from Virginia City, and told us that
n photographer had just opened up in
town, says an old miner Next day
being Saturday, lot of us knocked
off at noon and went up to have our
tintypes taken. Among the crowd
was old Bill Lawson. who was the
homeliest man you ever set eyes on.
He was not only lop-shouldered and
hump-backed, but bear had clawed
his face and fighter had bitten his
nose and blinded him In one eve. 1t
was matter of remark that his looks
would scare panther, and we had
known of men coming six miles tn
look az ham; but, as the old man would
never look into a glass, he couldn't
realize how homely he really was. He
might never have realized it had he
not concluded TO sit for great big
tintype-the largest the artist could
make. When finished picture was
handed him he stared at it in blank
surprise: then he scratched his head
and rubbed his good eye, and looked
again. Then he came over to us and
asked III a lHlleTluR VOICE.
"Pards, who is this chap in the pic
tur'?"
THAT'S you, Bill"
Looks like me 2"
Exactly"
"Can't be no one else?"
"No."
"I'm as homely as that, am II"
Worse, if anything"
"You don't say! Look a-hyar, boys,
how long hev YOU known this?"
1.-TWO years.
"And never let on! Well, that was
white of you and no mistake. Can't
be any other feller, can it ?"
NO"
THAT'S my mug-my blinker, my
nose, my mouth and chin ?"
Eyes"
"That's enuff. Good-by, boys"
"But where are You going?"
Back to camp. See you later"
But he never did. He started for
camp alone, and at the halfway spot
ne sat down on a rock and suicided by
putting bullet into his head. On
fiat stone lay the tintype, and with a
piece ofclay he had written on the
stone:
"Gone to get a Unlocking mug"

count of being able to SEQ the most
minute objects clearly defined. In
1873 or 1879 he was attacked with
some battling eye trouble and came
very near losing his sight forever

A SAD PICTURE.


tNe--eS P'u1ehce Bolivar HcFleW.l
ihe Catfish Point people have been
reduced by an act of the Board of
Mississippi Levee Commissioners from
Independence to a state of dependence.
Our people cannot remain here much
longer. All who are now here are
anxiously awaiting replies to letters
asking for some kind of honorable EN-
ployment in order to feed and clothe
ourselves and those dependent upon US.
What a wonderful, what a sudden
change has taken place in cur midst.
Had the "pestilenee that walketh in
darkness" or @the destruction that
wasteth at MONDAY passed through
our neighborhood the wreck and ruin
would not have been more complete.
And all of this was brought about by
the action of the Board of Mississippi
Levee Commissioners throwing our
hard-earned homes outside of leyee
protection.
The Leyee Board did not give the
people OF Catfish Point the opportuni-
ty OF practicing the christian virtue of
giving them our cloak after having
taken our coat but they took both and
even took from us the only means we
had of putting bread into our mouths.
There are hundreds OF acres of as
fertile land lying idle on Catfish Point
to-day as can be found in the Delta
all ON account of having been aban-
doned by the Levee Board. Our la
borers have left us and fled the coun-
try as If their homes were besieged by
a pestilential disease. Not one out of
ten could be induced to remain after
they had heard that we had been
abandoned by the Levee Board. All
is confusion now where reigned a per-
feet system few months ago.
Nor is this the saddest scene in this
drama. The day is near at hand when
we will have to look for the last time
upon scenes with which some of us
have been familiar for more than fifty
years. The day will soon oe at hand
when We will look upon and kneel for
the last time at the graves of our dead.
Soon, very soon, our faces will be
turned toward the land of the stranger
There is nothing left us here to do.
The only means we had for support
have been cruelty taken from us and
there is left us no alternative but to
seek among strangers in strange land
some way of making living for our
selves and those loved ones who are
SO dependent upon us.

treatment OF Trees Injured by Freeze

Since the few buds have pushed out
that were injured by the great freeze,
we are able TO predict some results Of
treatment for the future. Evidently
tbe trees will form but little wood this
season, and that means In the case OF
stone fruits but little fruit for next
seasou unless nature is aided. 10
stimulate these trees in their weakened
condition and cause them to throw
ont plenty of wood, | would recon-
mend the application TO the trees oi
about 400 pounds of cotton seed meal,
aoo nounds of cotton seed ashes or
ss;nit and $50 pounds of bone meal to
tho acre and cultivate these fertilizers
well into the soil. Keep the cultivaior
running constantly all summer; nip
off Young growth when ten to twelve
;ncbes m long. to cause side shoots to
nrow out before frost, aud in this way
esieutv s of fruiting wood will be formed.
Traes R,r that are not pruned would be

AshTIC CHOLERA.

New York, June ia Washington
special says; Supervising Surgeon
General John c. Hamilton when asked
how serious tho outbreak at Puebla do
Rugat, In Southern Spain, was likely
to be aud what the chances were of its
spreading beyond its present confines,
replied; "The indications arc that 1t
is the real Asiatic article that has made
its appearance in Southern Spain. The
locality Is one subject to such vista
tions, US was the ease In 1885. The
cholera Is liable at any time to enter
Europe via the Spanish peninsula and
and il is generally taken there from
Tunis or Tripoli. How 1t has reached
Spain this time is question yet to be
solved. Cholera was reported In 1889
in Bagdad, Constantinople, the Phil
lippine Islands, Persia and Mesopota-
mia. 1t was very severe epidemic
in Asiatic Turkey aud Persia. Its de-
cadence was noted in October, 1889,
but 1t was not finally pronounced ex.
tinct until much later in the year.
"As to the prospect of its spreading
should say that 1t may overrun Spain,
though 1t is 10 be hoped that 1t will
not; but with careful and prompt pre-
cautionary measures 1t ought not to
be allowed to cross the Pyrenees, and
| haye no doubt steps viii be taken by
the French sanitary officials that will
prevent Its taking root in France.
There may be few sporadic cases as
in 1885, but 1t will be controlled.
"'rhe fact is, the existence of cholera
is one of the blots on this intelligent
era. There should be no such disease.
1t is susceptible of control and exter-
miuation, and yet II always exists at
Calcutta to greater or less extent.
Should IL become epidemic in SPAN
there are two channels of communities
..,on by which It might reach us
through the continental routes and via
Cuba. The latter is the more danger
Qua. for there are several lines OF steam
ers constantly plying between Cuba
and Spanish ports. We keep two san.
itary inspectors in Havana to look Out
for lust such a contingency. Their
duties are to notify me promptly q
the outbreak of an epidemic in Cuba
to inspect passengers on ships bound
for ports in the United States; to SEE
that no infected baggage or cargo Il
shipped for American ports, and wher
necessary to fumigate ships that have
American destinations Should tht
cholera appear at Havana and gair
auy foothold they would notify me at
once by cable to that effect, and extra
ordinary precautions would be imme
diately adopted to prevent the entrance
of the scourge from that source.
Al have no fear that 1t will gain
foothold in France, even should 1t az
60 in Spain. The French sanitary sys
fem is excellent and the frontier be
tween the two countries would b
closely watched, the trains would b'
inspected, passengers examined an'
ouarautincd and baggage and mer
cbandise thoroughly fumigated. w
can feel that we are quite sale Tor th
present.
