LIFE NOT WORTH TEN CENTS,

Was Saved from browning.

From the San Francisco Post: A
fat man carrying gun and loading
dog mado a dash down Market street
for the Oakland ferryboat. He could
have caught it IL he had walked quiet
ly along, but he became excited and
old Time commenced having fun with
him. The dog would run on the wrong
side of the telegraph poles and ny
drants and tangle up his chain in the
legs of pedestrians. BY the time spent
in apolcgi2!ng and untangling the dog
he was delayed until the little gate
closed'in his face Then he ran around
TO the big gate, lodged around mail
wagon, and made run for the boat.
The deck hands raised the apron and
the boat moved slowly out, but he was
determined to catch it, and, gripping
his gun and dog chain little tighter,
made a run and sprang into the air.
The boat was only six feet away, but
the dog baked the apron. The hunter
stopped in the middle of his leap,
his feet flew out toward the steamer,
and he dropped into the bay like a

Inquiry developed the fact that the
brothers had settled in Humboldt some
years ago and our guide, who was mar
rled had left a pretty sister-in-law in
Sweden. The brothers talked the mat
ter Overland finally agreed that the mar
rlod one should send for the girl, and
when she reached this country he
would give his old wife to his brother
and take his sistcr-in-law.
The girl arrived in due time, but she
was so much prettler than the unmar-
ried brother had expected that he was
loath to accept his brothers cast-off
wife Finally he married the girl and
then refused to compromise the breach
of contract by paying what his brother
had expended in getting her to this
coast. A quarrel followed and the
guide pinked his brother in the shout

the hospital for three months. The
other vowed vengeance and they do lit

The Wholesale Prisoners of London.
The wholesale attempts that are con-
tinually being made to poison the Lon
doners are we'll shown in the annual
report of DR.. Saunders, the medical Off
Ger of health for the city. Stockraisers
sent up last year no less than 490 tons
of diseased meat; that is, excluding
Sundays, as the hospital points out,
about ton and a half for every work
ing day OF the year. Now, a ton and a
half of diseased and putrid meat re-
duced to pounds, consists of $3.50, and
rs each pound is amply sufficient to poi
son its man, woman or child it follows
that our cousins in the country are will
ing to poison Londoners to the tune Of
$3.50 per diem, or, excluding Sundays,
at the rate of 1851, $50 per annum. In
other words, if all the diseased meat
which is received would be eaten it
would not take more than four or five
years to accomplish the poisoning of
every man, woman and child in Lon
