SHOT A FOOTPAD.

4 Citizen Turns His Gun Loose at n
Trio of Thugs.
About o'clock yesterday morning
three footpads undertook to stand up
citizen at Eleventh and G streets. The
intended victim, however, did not pro
pose to allow himself to be used as a foot
ball or punching-bag by the trio, so he
yanked out his pistol and took shot at
them.
The footpads ran into a neighboring
alley and disappeared in the darkness. IN
the morning drops OF blood were found
in the vicinity, which inspires the hope
that one of them carried OFT bullet in his
flesh

Senator Sherman Renews His Attack. >,

Senator Sherman renewed his attack
and refused to be convinced even by the
oratory of the Iowa Senator. He wanted
the Senate to do the straightforward
thing, and not fizzle about it.
"Give the fair 50, ,0g0, coo and do not make
believe that you are deceiving yourselves
in giving it a 70-cent silver dollar,
or two 35-cent half dollars" If the
the children cry for it, as the Senator has
said they did, ''Why not give them Cas-
toria?" said sherman. He knew that it
was popular thing with the little ones,
more popular, he thought, than even the
souvenir half dollars would be. The gal
leries looked down i'll surprise as these
remarks came from Sherman, and Con-
gressrnen who entered the chamber Just
as Mr.. sherman uttered them dropped
into the vacant chairs nearest the door.

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED.
Sad Result of shooting Trip Taken
by Two Young Men.

A few days ago an accident occurred
IN the vicinity of Nicolaus, Sutter County,
by which a youth named Thomas F..
Wright lost his life. 1t appears that the
deceased and a friend named William
Carroll were travelling along the road
leading from this city to Nicolaus, on a
shooting trip, when young Wright leaped
from the wagon to get shot at some
ducks on pond.
His gun was loaded, and when he
jumped to the ground the jar caused his
gun to be discharged, the contents enter
ing his abdomen. His companion placed
him in the wagon and drove rapidly
toward Nicolaus, but the unfortunate
youth died before that place was reached.
The young man came from PIeasantOn,
Alameda County.

1t does not seem TO be generally known
that tie turkey was domesticated by the
Indians long before the discovery OF the
continent by white men, but such is the
case. Hundreds OF large, tame hens of
black and mottled hues'' are mentioned
as being seen by the earliest voyagers to
Mexico. Oveido speaks of the turkeys as
. kind Of peacock abounding in New
Spain, the male Of which hath beard

were first imported by the English in the
year 1871, twenty-three years after the
discovery of Mexico. William Penn saws.

A Strange Animal.

While returning from a hunting trim
one day last week in the Wallapai
Mountains, A. T., DR.. Hammond and
Dave Parks ran across one of the strang-
est animals ever seen in this section OF
the country, if not in the world, says the
Mohave (Arizona) Miner. Mr.. Parks,
after shooting it five times with a 45-cali-
Der Winchester, finally succeeded in
killing it. The body is ten inches in cir
conference and eighteen inches in length.
The tail, if such it may be termed, is four
inches. Its front feet are similar TO those
of dog, only the toes being missing,
while its hind legs, somewhat larger than
its front, terminate in cloven hoofs. Its
head is of bright red color, somewhat OF
the hue OF the ''red eye' which the hunt
ers had taken along as preventive for
snake bite.
The hair on the animals body is of a
light baby blue, which gives it a neat.
tidy appearance. The upper Jaw of the
quadruped is adorned with two immense
tusks, curving downward, giving it a
| feroclous expression. The tongue is
forked, and is used for catching ants.
The snout terminates in long trunk
hensible tendency. 1t was discovered by
Mr.. Parks clinging to the surface of a
pine tree, about fifty feet from the ground.
1t was placed in the ice house pending
the arrival OF Professor Raelle OF Needles,
who will stuff and mount it, after which
II Will be placed on exhibition in tie
Miner cabinet Strange as it may seem,
the stomach contained live toad, two
horn-toads, several thousand ants and a
garter-snake. Taxidermists and natural
lists are at loss regarding the name OF
this wonderful creature, no mention hav-
ing been made of any such species in nat
ural history.

1T was natural enough-you see we
were chums, Marley and I, to the very
last. And after he died l was stone
broke. Audit was all Varley's idea,
spoken almost with his latest breath, that
if ever [ landed here l should ask for his
letters and use them as my own. Well,
you know how | tried it on at the ship,
and how failed, and how-you-came TO
my assistance-good Samaritan that you
We're; you saved me-yes, from suicide
I'd quite made up my mind. And that is
another thing pve meant to tell you,
many a time"
And the tears ofgratitude stood in Var
ley's-that is, Paterson's-eyes, as he
crossed over and wrung the others
hand, while Guy, thoroughly bewildered
and scarcely venturing to trust his ears,
breathed again as he watched cloud after
cloud of misapprehension-all of his own
creating-rou harmlessly away. For
had he not at the outset given way be-
fore temptation so weakly as he had, he
might have known all he knew then
about the supposed Varley two months
ago.
Yes, it had been his own fault entirely,
ne saw that clearly now. The only
crumb of real comfort to be drawn from
the whole trying experience lay in the
fact that he really had made up his mind
to own the truth-before ever he had
learned it.-English illustrated Maga-
zine.

THE MESSAGE OF THE BELLS.

Ring out, biithe bells of the New Year!
Ring out to all your summons clear
Message of hope, despair to queu
Is borne upon your silvery swell.
Ring, bells of cheer, across the snow
Till with courage faint hearts glow.
Hath friend seemed faithess, love grown cold
Hast lost that wand of magic, gold?
Saddest of all, hath death snatched one
Whose presence was to thee life's sun?
Yet look not back. The darkest cloud
But serves an azure sky to shroud.
Thy friend his tealty yet may prove
Love that could change was never love
And folly 'twere lost love to mourn,
While tickle fortunes wheel doth turn.
Grim death. though conqueror of clay,
Bows to a mightier Conqueror's sway;
Thy loved one hath but crossed Times sea
To its talr shOre-Elernity.

MY COMPANERO.


Along the ''CentraIs" lonesome way,
A score and more OF years ago,
Myself tramp-no coin to pay
The same my whilom companero.
Sore pressed with hunger and forlorn,
70 reach the destined Eldorado
We trudged along from early dawn,
and my hopeful companero.
When at Church Butte a freight pulled out
With empty cars wide open flung,
We placed ourselves along the route
And into one we active sprung.
Quickly ensconced in either end,
We rugged our corners closely there,
Hoping discovery to forefend,
And thus escape the trainmen's stare.
Some hours we sped upon our route
When, at station some delay,
a trainman came and called me out,
But did not look my comrades way
To imprecate did not deign,
But dotted and waved my old sombrero
Behind the disappearing train;
GOOD luck, good-by, old companero!
No kindred, friend-an unknown man
And yet muse upon his fate.
How has the life course with him ran?
In crooked lines or ever straight?
What was for him in future stored?
II SUCH luck followed as of late,
He might be chairman of Board"
Or Governor OF a State.
His corner in the car of life,
How has he kept, in peace or strife?
has Death stepped in and looked his way?
Quien sabe? More l cannot say.

And go it as love does, for love is blind.
