A RoUGH FENIAN JoKE.-During the rising
in Tipperary rough joke was played upon
the son of Protestant clergyman. The
Fenians called at his fathers house and de-
manded arms. He came to the door and
handed out the arms to them; and with a
certain grim humor they said he was likely
young man, and would make capital
Fenian leader. So they forced him by threats
to 90 on his knees and take the Fenian oath,
after which he was made to accompany them
to the houses of several of his friends, the
gentry in the neighborhood, one being the
house of his own aunt, and collect the arms
from all. If he hesitated or hung back, half
dozen pike points were in unpleasant
proximity to his body directly. When the
houses for miles around bad been thus visit
ed, he being the spokesman and active agent
by compulsion at all, the Fenians said he had
done very we'll that night. and allowed him
to 80 home, telling him that they might per-
haps require his services again. 1t docs net
surprise one to hear that this gentleman has
placed a very long distance between himself
and the Fenians who played this unpleasant
practical joke upon him.

Social ExcLUsIvENEss IN THE SOUTH
Disguise the fact as we may, it is true that in
many circles neither wealth, courage, man.
hood, eminent piety, erudition, high-tone
morality, brilliant Accomplishments nor per-
soual beauty, can open the charmed doors Of
society. provided there is coupled with these
qualities a persistent and ever steadfast 10y
atty to the Federal Government 1t is true
that genuine man and womanhood smiles the
smile of contempt on those who exclude and
shut the door against that which is good
Men and women feel the consciousness of
superior strength, and of greater dignity,
but still the fact remains and it is wrong.
How can we ask political equality with those
to whom we refuse social fraternity? Can
we hope that the people in power will belle, Q
us loyal, when fidelity to the Confederaoy
atones for all manner Of social iniquity, and
loyalty to the Union is the unpardonable sin?
We may mean to discharge every obligation
with fidelity, but while there is such rancor
in our breasts people will not believe u.s.
We must expect great deal of heart burn
ing at the close of gigantic civil war. But
others have a right to expect that we shall
seek to amend our tempers as well as our
actions Men of business, whose daily avo-
cations force them to mix and mingle with
others, soon have their latent loyalty rubbed
into an active principle. We seldom find
them among the exclusives. But there is
another class in every community largely
composed of ladies and clergymen, who are
not forced into actual contact, save as they
choose. These indulge in all this mawkish
exclusiveness. Many lonesome parlor
might be filled brimming full of merriment
and happiness but for this silly prejudice.

A DRY GOLD FIELD.-Miners familiar
with the country will doubtless agree with us
when we state that there is thousands of
acres of good mining ground on the eastern
side of the Sacramento that has never been
disturbed by pick and shovel. The country
between the farms of Gregory and Seamans,
and extending from Quartz Hill to Bear
Mountain Greek, is made up of low ridges,
swales, and level and wide extending flats,
traversed here and there by fiat gulches and
small creeks, which contain no water of any
consequence except during and Immediately
after heavy rains. The gravel on these flats
and swales is generally from twelve inches to
three feet in depth, and is thickly impreg


mated with small quartz rocks and boulders
of reddish cast. Gold exists all over this
section, and there is every reason to believe
that much of the ground would pay as well
as the flats and gulches about Buckeye and
Churntown when first worked. The diff
Guilty which has prevented miners from pros
pecting this region, is the absence of proper
supply of water. Until this difficulty is
overcome, the wealth which lies hidden there
cannot be brought to light. The only man.
ner by which an abundant and constant
supply of water can be obtained is by con-
structing ditch from Pit riyer, and that
would cost large amount of money and
labor; but if the miners of Buckeye and
Churntown were to organize joint stock
company, such ditch could be constructed,
with a certainty of fortune to the owners.

THE BEST SEWING MACHINE.--It has been
our experience to own several sewing machines,
but we never obtained one fully up to our ex-
pectations until we received, lately, Howe
Machine. Mr.. Howe, as is generally known,
was the original inventor Of the Sewing Ma
chine. From the invention of his brain have
sprung all the numerous progeny, modified or
combined in form, of patent sewers Some of
them, by virtue of merits which they really
possessed, by persistent advertising, and by the
attraction of cheapness, for many years took
the lead in the market and left MIR. Howe en-
tirely in the shade so far as notoriety was con-
cerned, notwithstanding the fact that they were
all using more or less of his patents. The ma
chimes manufactured by Howe, meanwhile
whenever used, were found to do their work
satisfactorily, and as improvements were added
gained steadily in the estimation OF manufac-
turers of clothing and workers in leather. The
Howe machine of to-day is as near perfection
as it is possible for machine to be. 1t has
the advantage of being shuttle machine, ma

A SPECK OF TROUBLE IN EUROPE.
has been quite furry in the gold market this
week. This was based on apprehensions Of
some trouble to grow out of the annexation
schemes of Prussia ON the one hand and France
on the Other--the bone ofcOntention being the
frontier town OF Luxembourg, in the Duchy of
that name, which both parties want Of HOl-
land. From recent cable dispatches it would
seem that France, together with the offer Of u
defensive and offensive alliance has proposed
to the Dutch government purchase OF Lux
embOurg; that the Dutch government has en-
gagged to sell Luxembourg, but now, owing TO
pressure from Prussia, has expressed desire
to be excused from keeping the engagement.
The Duchy Of Luxembourg formed part of the
now obsolete German Confederation, and since
the close Of the late German war Count Bis
marck has rather imperiously insisted that the
Duchy should form part Of the North German
Confederation, and be specially under the con-
troll of Prussia. The best informed German
paper states that the majority Of the people Of
Luxembourg desire union with neither Ger
many or France, but continuance of their
semi-independentr relations with Holland, which
condemn the Grand Duchy to political insig
Aificance, but are exceedingly profitable, Lux
enlbourg being said to be the least taxed cOun-
try in Europe Whether Holland will be al
lowed to retain it, in the character Of neu.
tral, or whether the rightful ownership will be
determined by u recourse to arms, remain to
be seen.

Perry Davis Vegetable Pain Killer,

Pain Killer, taken internally, should be

drops on sugar eaten will be more effective
than anything else For Sore Throat, gargle

water, and relief is immediate and the cure
positive.


1t should not be forgotten that the Pain
Killer is equally as good to take internally,
as to use externally. Each bottle is wrapped

DELICIoUs.-We are under a large loa6 of

friend P. H. Kean, Esq, for mess of as fine
brook trout as ever graced the hook of that

Some things are good, others are better, but
we must confess that fresh trout suits our
ideas of superlative goodness little better
than anything else in the eating line. How
delicious they are; just the thought makes
our mouth water. We always had weak
ness for trout. From the time when boy
we angled for them in the crystal waters of
the brook which glided musically along
through the green fields and shady dells of
our early home, up to the present, they have
been the especial object of our admiration.
All! the sports and joys of those happy days
of childhood can never return, but their re-
collection fingers like a pleasant dream in
our memory-and so does the taste of the
trout sent us by Kean.
