I warn’t never meant for:no sailor, I warn’t, but I came of a great nation and when a chap:out our way says he’ll du a thing, he does it.. I said I'd go to sea, and.l went and thar you are. I said I'd d®p hunting, and take to mining, and thar I was; that’s how it came about. :

You see, we was rather rough out our way, where Hez Lane and me went with our bit of tent and pickers, shooting-irons, and sech like, meaning to make a pile of gold. We went to Washoe, and didn’t get on; then we went to Fort Laramie, and didn’t get on there. Last, we went right up into the mountain, picking our way amongst the stones, for Hezses, “Look here, old hoss, let’s get whar no one’s been afore. If we get whar the boys are at work already, they’ve took the cream, and we gets the skim milk.— Let’s you and me get the cream, and let some o the others take the skim milk.” ‘ :

“Good for you,” I says; and we tramped on day after day, till we got right up in the heart o’ the mountains where no one hadn’t been afore, and it was so still and quiet, as it made you quite deaf. = - It was a strange, wild sort of place, like as if one o’ them coons -called giants. had drived a wedge into the mountain and split it, making a place for a:bit of a stream to run at the bottom, and lay bare the gold he want‘ed to find. :

‘'« «“Thig’ll do, Dab,” says Hez, as we put up our bit of a tent on a pleasant green shelf in the steep valley place. “This’ll do, Dab; thar’s yaller gold spankling them sands, and running in veins through them rocks, and yellow gold in pockets of the rock. @

~ “Then let’s call it Yaller Gulch,” I says. e i

“Done, oid hoss!” says Hez; and Yaller Guleh it is. -

We set to work next day washing in the blt of a stream and shook hands on our good luck. it “This’ll do,” says Hez. “We shall make a pile here. , No one will dream of hunting this out.” . “Say, stranger!” said a voice that made us both jump. “Do it wash well ?” : :

And if there warn’t a long, lean, ugly, yaller-looking chap looking down at us, as he stood holding a mule by the bridle. i . :

Why afore a week was over, so far from us keeping it snug, I reckon there was fifty peoplein Yaller Gulch, washing away, and making their piles. Afore another week was over some one had set up a store, and mext day there was a gambling saloon. Keep it to ourselves! Why, stranger, I reckon if there was one speck of gold anywhere within five hundred miles our chaps’d snuff it out like vultures, and be down upon it. < e It warpn’t no use to grumble, and we kept what we thought to ourselves, working away and making ourounces the best we could. One day I proposed we should go up higher in the ‘mountain, but Hez said he’d be darned if he’d move; and next day, if he’d wanted me to go, I should have told him I’d be darned if I'd move, and all at once, from being red-hot chums, as would have done anything:for one another, Hez and me got to be mortal enemies:. ‘ =

Now, look here, stranger. Did you ever keep chickens? P’r’apsnot; but if you ever do, just you notice this:— You’ve got, say, a dozen young cocks pecking about, and as happy as can be —smart an' lively, an’ innercent as chickens should be. Now, just yougo drop a pretty young pullet in among ’em, and see if ' there won’t be a row. Why, afore.night there’ll be combs bleeding, eyes knocked out, feathers tore ard ragged—a reglar pepper box and bowie set-to, all ’cause of that lit-' tle smooth, brown pullett, that looks 80 quiet and gentle, as if wondering who made the row. Now, that’s what was the matter with s, for who sho’d come into the Guleh one day but an| old ' store-keeping sort of a fellow, with as pretty a daughter as ever: stepped, and from that moment it was’ all over between Hez and me. He’d got away with him, you see, as I hadn’t and they always made him welkim at thar store, when it was only “How do you do?” and *“Good morning” to me. I don’t know what love is, stranger; but if Jack Burns had told me to go and cut one of my hands to please her, I'd ha’ done it.— I’d ha’ gone thro’ fire and water for her, God bless her! and if she’d tied one of her long, yaller hairs round my: neck, she might have led me about like a bear, rough as I am, . But it wouldn’t do. I soon see which way the wind blew. She was the only woman in camp, and could have the pick, and she picked Hez. I was ’bout starting mad first time 1 met them two together—shé a hanging on his arm, and looking up in his face, worshiping him like some of them womeén can worship a great, big, strong he; and soon as they war got by I swore a big oath as Hez should never have her, and 1 plugged up my. six-shooter, gave my bowie a whesting, and lay in wait for him coming back. 1t was a nice time that, as I sot there, seeing in fancy him kissin’ her sweet little face, and she hanging on him, If T was ‘most mad afore, I ?n times gygrg‘ainow; tﬁd when 1 heerd Hez comin’, I stood there on a aen 1 R ie %%

that when he came cheery and singing, I forgot all about. my shootingiron and went at him like a bar, hugging and wrastling him, till we fell together close to the edge of the gulch, and I only to give him a shove and down he’d had’ gone kelch on the hard, rocks ninety feet below. : “Now. Hez,” I says, “how about your darling now? 7You'll cut in afore a better man again, will you?” *“Yes, if I live!” he says, stout-like, so as I couldn’t help liking the grit he showed. “That’s right,” he says; “pitch me over, and then go and tell little Jael. what you’ve done. She’ll be fine and proud of yer then, Abinadab Scales!”

He said that as I'd got him hanging over the rocks, and he looked me full in the face, full of grit, though he was helpless as a baby; but I didn’t see his face then, for what I seen was the tace of Jael, wild and passionable like, asking what I'd done with her love, and my heart swelled so that I gave a sob like that of a woman, as 1 swung Hez round into safety, and taking his place like, “Shove me over;” I says, “and put me out of my misery.” Poor old Hez! I hated him like pyson; but he wasn’t that sort. ’Stead of sending me over, now he had the chance, he clasps his hand on my shoulder, and he says, says he, “Dab, old man,” he says, “give it a name, and let’s go and have a drink on this. We can’t all find the big nuggers, old boss; and if I'm in luck don’t be hard on yer mate.” . e

Then he held out his fist, but I couldn’t take it, but turning off I ran hard down among the rocks till I dropped bruised and bleeding, and didn’t go back tosmy tent that night. I got ‘wilder arter that. Hez and Jael were spliced up, and I allus kept away. When I wanted an ounce or two of gold I worked, and when I'd got it I used to drink —drink because 1 wanted to-drown all recollections of the past.

Hez used to come to me, but I warned him off. Last time he come across me, and tried to make friends, “Hez,” I says, “keep away. I’m desprit like, and won’t say I sha’nt plug yer!” ~ Then Jael came, and she began to talk with me about forgiving him; but it only madg¢ me more mad nor ever, and so I went and pitched at the lower end of the gulch, and they lived at t’other.

Times and times I've felt asif I'd g 0 and plug Hez on the quiet, but I never did, though I got* to hate Him more and more, and never half so much as I did two years arter, when I came upon him oneday sudden, with his wife Jael, :looking pootier than ever, with a little white-haired squealer on her arm. An’ it ryled me above a bit to see him so smiling and happy, and me turned into a blood-shot, drinking, raving savage, that half the gulch was feared on, and t’other half daren’t face. Vondos

I had been drinking hard—fiery bourbon, you bet!—for about a week, when early one morning, as I lay in my ragged bit of a tent, I woke up sudden like, to & -roaring noise like thunder; then there came a whirl and a rush, and I was swimming for life, half choked fwit?h the water that had carried me off. Now 1t ‘was hitting my head, playful-like, agen the hardest corners of the rock it could find in the Gulch; then it was hitting me in the back, or pounding me in the front, with trunks of trees swept down from the mountains, for something had bust—a lake, or something high up—and in about a wink the hull settlement of Yaller Gulch was swept away. “Wall,” I says, getting hold of a branch,and drawing myself out,“some on ¢'m wanted a good wash, and this’ll give it em;” for you see water had been skeerce lately, and what there -was had all been used for cleaning the gold.

I sot on a bif oo’ rock wringing the Wwater out of my hair leastwise, no; it was some one else like who sot there, chaps I knowed, you see; and there was the water rushing down thirty or forty feet deep, and everything swept before it—mules, and tents, and shanties, and stores, and dead bodies by the dozen., - : “Unlucky for: them,” I says; and just then I hears a wild sorter shriek, and looking down I see a chap halfswimming, half-swept along by the torrent, trying hard to get at a tree that stood t’other side. > >

“Why, it’s you, is It, Hez ?”" Isaysto -myself, as I looked at his wild eyes ‘and strained face, on which the sun .Bhone full. “You’re gone coon, Hez, Jdad; 80 you may just as well fold up your arms, say amen, and go down like a man. How I could pop yvou now, lad, if I'd got a shooting-iron; put youout o’ your misery like. You’ll drown, lad.” ‘ He made a dash, and tried for a branch hanging down, but missed it and gotswept against the rocks, whee he shoved his arm between two big bits, but the water gave him a wrench, the bone went crack, and as I sat still there I could see him swept down lower and lower, till he clutchéd at a bush with his left hand, and hung on like grim death to a dead nigger. “Sarve you right,” I says eoolly.— “Why shouldn’t you die like the rest? If I'd had any go in me I should have plugged yer long ago.” , “Helloa!” Icried, then giving a start. -“It ain’t--tis—tarnation! Itcan’tbe!” But it was. :

There, on t'other side, fifty yards lower down, on a bit of a shelf of earth that kept crumbling away as the water washed it, was Jael, kneeling down with her young un; and, as I looked, something seemed to give my heart a jigg, just as if some coon had pulled a string. ey

“Well, he’s about gone,” I says, “and they can’t hold but ’bout three minutes; thenthey’ll drown together, and she can take old Hez his last bab¥l to nuss, cuss em! I’'m safe enough.--What'’s it got to do withme? Tlshan’t move.” Al ta

I took out my wet cake of ’bacca, and whittled off a bit, shoved itin my cheek, shut my knife with a click, and sot.thar watchin’ of ’em— father and mother and bairn. = £ lee

“You've been happy, you have,”™ I says out loud; not as they could hear it, for the noise of the waters. “Now you'll be sorry for other people.— Drown, darn yer! stozk and lock, and barrel; I'm safe.” , : _ Just then, as I sot and chawed, telling myself as a chap would be mad to try and save his friends out of such a flood, let alone his enemies, darn me! if Jael didn’t put that little squealer’s hands together, and hold them up as if she was making it say its prayers — aborn fool—when that thar string | seemed to be pulled, inside me like, agin my heart; and, I couldn’s help it, Liunmped up. < . ol oo GiEe ~ “Say, Dab;” 1 says to ‘miuw “don’t | you be a fool, You hate h&%’liﬁb plson, you do,’“pon’&jou‘goth_ drown | yourself,” oo S

‘l'was about mad, you know, and’ couldn’t do as I liked,.for, if I didn’t begin to rip off my things, wet, and hanging to me. Cuss me! how they did stick! but I cleared half on ’em off, and then like a mad fool, I made a run and a jump, and was fighting hard . with the water to get across to Hez’s wife and child. . « - It was a bit of a fight. Down I went, and up I went, and the water twisted me like a leaf; but I got out of the roar and thunder on to the bit of a shelf where Jael knelt; when, -if the gilly thing didn’t begin to hold up to me her child, and her lips, poor darling, said dumbly, *Save it! oh, save it!”? = e

In thesmidst of that rush and roar, as I saw that poor girl, white, horrified, and with her yaller hair, clinging around her, all my old love for her comes back, and I swore a big oath I'd save her for myself or die. I tore her dress into ribbons, for ther% égarn’t; a moment to lose, and Ibo that bairn somehow - oto my shoulders, sie watching me the while, and then, with my heart beating mad--Iy, I caught her in my arms. she clinging tightly to me in her fear, and 1 stood up, thinking how I could get back, and making ready to leap. . The flood didn’t wait for that, tho’. In a moment there was a quiver of the bank, and it went from beneath my feet, leaying me wrestling with the waters once more. I don’t know how I did it, only that, after a fight, and being half smothered, I found myself crawling up the side of a Gulceh, ever so low down, and dragging Jael into a safe place with her bairn. She fell down afore me, hugging my tegs and kissing my feet; and then she started up and begaa looking up and down, ending by seeing just above us old Hez clinging there still, with his sound arm rammed into the bush, and his body swept out by the fierce stream.

The next moment she had seized me by the arm, and was pointing at him, and she gave a wild kind of shriek. “He’s a gone coon, my gal!” I says, though she couldn’t hear me; and I was gloating over her beautiful white face, and soft, clear neck; as I thought that now she was mine —all mine. I’d saved heér out of the flood, and there 'was no Hez!to stand in our way.

. “Save him!—save him!” she shrieked in my ear. i 8 What, Hez? Save Hez to come between us once-more? ;Save her husband—the man I hated, and would gladly see die! On, I could not do it, and my looks showed it, she reading me like a book all the while. No, he might drown—he was drowned—-must bé. No, just then' he moved. But, nonsense! I wasn’t going to risk my life for his, and cut. my own throat as to the future.” - : . She went down on her knees to me, though, pynting again at where Hez still floated; and the old feeling of love for her was stronger on her than ever. :

- “You're asking me to die for you, Jael!” I shouted in herear. .

- “Ob, save him—save Hez!” she then shrieked. : :

~ “Yes, save him!” I groaned to myself. “Bring him back to: the happiness that might be mine. But then she loves him—she loves him; and I must.” Gt .

I gave one look at her—asl thought my last—and I couldn’t helpit. Ifshe had asked me dumbly, as shedid, todo something ten times as wild, I should have done it; and with a run, I got well up above Hez afore I jumped in once more, to have the same fight with the waters till I wasswept down to the bush where hz was. :

I’d got my knife in my teeth to cut the bush-away and let him free; but asJ was swept against it my weight tore it away, and Hez and I went down the stream togefher; him wo-done up that he lay helpless on the water.

And there I seem to stick yet. O E————— Killed by an Oyster. " (Cincinnati Commercial.)

At the post-mortem examination: made by Dr. Valentine Schneider, of the body of Geo. Phillips, mention of whose sudden death at No. 442 West Fifth St., has already been made, it is found that a raw oyster had lodged in the upper valve of the stomach, from ‘which death resulted. The man had swallowed four oysters of immense size, together with a half a gallon of whisky. The oysters naturally floated on top, and in an attempt to vomit, one of them was forced into the opening of the esophagus in such a way as to prevent the stomach from being emptied of the astonishing amount of liguor that had been poured into it.— This led to paralysis of the head. The verdict of the coroner was that death had been produced by paralysis of the head, due to an excessive use of alcoholic drinks. -When @ found the man was lying dead in bed, with a large bottle partly filled with whisky under his pillow. e

A Clergyman’s Strange Dance.

A Compulsory Waltz in' Compainy

With a Wild. Maniac.

A New York correspondent ‘of the Boston Journal publishes the following remarkable declaration by a wellknown clergyman:

“I bave had,” said he, “some very droll experiences. Among the most exciting was the one that I will now relate. . A well-known merchant was very sick —some thought nigh unto d%agh. - He would see no pastor nor ‘allow any one to speak to him on the subject of religion. One day he mentioned my name, though he was no acquaintance of mine. He named me two or-three times. At length his wife asked him if he wanted me to call. He hesitated for some time, and ‘then asked his family to send for me. ‘He added: “Tell him- to come right away.’ I obeyed the summons, was ‘ushered into the-siek-chamber, and at once recognized the gentleman as one who had been an occasional hearer in my church. He greeted me with great cordiality, and asked that all should leave the room. He wanted to speak to me privately. His wife left with evident reluctance. The man was so weak that he could with difficulty turn in bed. As soon as the door was closed the patient sprang from his bed, turned the key in the door, seized me with the strength of a giant, and said, ‘Now we will havea nice dance, clasping me about the body, and he,in his night-shirt. commenced to caper around the room, humming, in a low voice, ‘I and my Father are one, equal in power and glory’ He kept his pace for a full hour, till I was nearly dead from exhaustion and fright.” He was a wild maniac. Once I attempted to scream. He seized me by the throat. His eyes flashed fire. He said he would brain me if I was not quiet. Round and rourd he turned, keeping up the refrain, ‘I and my Father are one, equal in power and glory. Pretending to be pleaséd, I suggested that we call in some of the family to join us. He caught at theidea. He opened the door tercall the household up, and I instantly fled down stairs, pursued by the madman.” He was arrested, taken to the mad-house, and in twen-ty-four hours died a raving maniac. I have never since heard those words repeated without being thrown into a cold sweat, I had danced enough that night to last me the balance of my life 2 - S

The “Solid South” Buggaboo. (Harrisburg Patriot,) .

The elections in the south have afforded occasion for a new access of sectional rage. It appears that the free election by the people of the south of candidates of their choice is an offense to the Republican spirit of the north. But what would these howlers about a “sold south” have? Did they expect that the southern people after freeing themselves from the curse of carpet bag sway would humbly send back to Congress the Pattersons, Conovers, Spencers, and the whole infamous horde of their oppressors merely to please the extreme radicals of the north? If they had been disposed to commit an act of such supreme political folly would they not Tather have offended than conciliated tlie moderate portion of the Republicans of the country?. They have not sent carpet baggers to Congress nor have they elected ignorant and inexpert field hands to responsible public trusts. But in the position in which they have been placed they have done the best to secure for themselves the blessings of good. government and they have to a great extent succeeded. This is the whole extent of their offense. One by one the States of the south have rescued themselves from the flagitious and corrupt rule of strangers that was forced upon them by the power of the féderal bayonet. Of the infamous- carpet-bag repregentatives in Congress Patterson, Spencer and Conover alone remain, and on the Fourth of March next they will retire forever. Hence the tears and rage of radicalism over the “solid south.”” It has ceased to be a field for radical plunder and spoilation.

Not Convicted, and Therefore Cannot

be Pardoned.

The Governor was yesterday applied to for the exercise of executive clemency under somewhat ' peculiar circumstances. A man was found guilty of some minor offense, in the Elkhart Circuit Court, about fifteen months sinece, but before being called up for sentence was seized with illness and removed to his home for treatment. He has never recovered sufficiently to be able to appear in court, and has consequently not received his sentence. His conviction is, therefore, incomplete. The doctors attending the man certify that he cannot be taken into court without endangering his life; and under these circumstances the judge of the court and all other parties have applied to ‘the Governor for a pardon. The difficulty in the case, however, is that the man has never been convicted, and ‘His Excellency Williams is of opinion that the fact precludes him from the exercise of his high privilege of granting a pardon. This is a matter of very igreat regret to the Governor, and he is very much at a loss what to do about it.—lnd. Journal.

The Banks Have Gone too Far:

Some of the New York bankers have become convinced that too hasty a step was taken in adopting the resolutiops against the use .of silver on. terms of equality with gold. The New York Builetin, the ablest and most reasonable .of the commercial and financial journals of New™ York, thinks the banks have gone too Pax, and defied public opinion too soon, ard August Belmont, in an interyiew, expresses ‘the same opinion. Inqtea.d of influencing Congress to legislate against sil'ver, the action taken by the New York banks wilk probably have directly the ‘opposite effect, and léad to the epact‘maent of laws putting silver on a p% fect equality with gold in every respect. o : .

A Policy that Impoverishes. [Cincinnati Enquirer.] | °

The suppression of prosperity in this country, for the financial policy in power can not better be deseribed ! than by this phrase, puzzles the republican peliticians. They wish to explain, They insist’ that the financial difficulties in the United States are not peculiar to the United States. It is urged that there is depression almost everywhere. But that doesn’t answer the real argument. That fact, assuming it to be a fact, only emphasizes the argument against the repub--lican pelicy touching this question of finance. The leadets of the party .in power in the Executive branch of the Government, of course, profess the belief that the financial policy of the Government has nothing to do with the prosperity of the people that live under that Government. - To say that there is business depression in' Europe is simply to admit a fact. -Where is it? Why isit? Build acob-hause and tip over one corner of it. Perhaps there is no better illustration than this ‘of the effect which the business prosperity of one nation has upon the business prosperity of all na--tions. The people of the United States, in their prosperity, were the chief customers of Europe. When the financial policy forced on the people of the United Sg‘tes made prosperity in this country impossible the United States ceased to be a buyer from Europe.— Europe’s great market was this Republic, Make it impossible for the people of the United States tobuy anything, anid the prosperity of Europe is touched. This is a part of the expla--nation why there is suffering in Europe. One fact will stare every man in the face: It is not greenbacks in Europe that creates disaster. It isnot the “rag baby” in. Germany - that fills the Rhineland with distress.. It is not “fiat money” in Great Britain that clothes so many of the people of that. splendid Kingdom with desolation and despair. - It is not “rag money” in Gerg manpy that spreads a pall over that enriched and victorious State. France 18 the only really prosperous Nation in Europe, and her prosperity springs from her “irredeemable paper money,” which ‘was made ‘a promise to receive,. and which, therefore, floated constantly at par. But when a financial policy in the United States takes forty. millions of people cut of the market for ‘Europe one reason is' given why there should be depression of material prosperity abroad. -~ - -’ i

Shameless Bargains with Criminals in { Pennsylyania. Ha :

Of the working of the Kehoe business the Pittsburg Post says: Luzerne (including Lackawanna) :is reported 7,000 for Hoyt. This is astonishing, as the county gave Tilden over 3,000 majority two years ago. An explanation of it may be found in the secret operations of the Republican managers with the Mollie Maguires and other secret societies interested in saving Jack Kehoe from the gallows.— This was the lever by which Heyt made his great gainsin the anthracite region.' In 1875 he helped Hartranft through; with this same class by the use of pardons and money, directly treating with Kehoe. It was only a reciprocal act of friendship, therefore, for Hartranft to swing the gallowsbefore the ignorant and degraded as a way to make votes for Hoyt. Hereafter, in all important electoral struggles, we judge the Republicans will - find it to their convenience and profit to have a Mollie under death sentence or in the State’s prison for: trading purposes. It will become a recognized institution in our State politics. We . ‘know of men whose votes were influ-’ enced by Kehoe’s peril, who could not ‘be bought with money. The damning dishonor Hartranft has heaped on’ himself by this business, will consign - ~his name to historic infamy, = Already as he is about quitting the Governor’s office, Republican journals are preparing to open their batteries on him for his share in the Kehoe con_Bpiraey. o 5

The proposition to move en masse against the circulation of the silver dollar is prompted by the desire to enhance the ‘value: of their money stock on a gold basis as compared with the value of all ‘other property. They are much deceived in the intelligence of the Amer‘ican “people if they think they can conceal: this fact. 'They are equally deceived in the temper of-the A merican people, if they think they can proceed in such a scheme without exciting resentment. Their undertaking is foolhardy.

[Crawfordsville Journal.] Lot -. There is|nothing in the national ; ‘banking laws to prevent a bank from being rechartered upon the expiration :of the twenty years,.the term for which it was first chartered. So long as the present laws are in force new banks can be chartered, and an old bank whose charter has expired, stands on an equal footing with a .new - association. All that the law - .says concerning the term that nation:al banks shall 'have an existenca is in - section 8 of “an act to provide a national currency.” ‘lt says: “Such as-° .sociations shall have power to ‘adopt a corporate seal, shall have succession ‘by the name designated in its organization certificate, for the period ‘of twenty years from its organization, unless seoner dissolved according to ‘the provisions of its articles of association, or by the act of its shareholders owning two-thirds of its stock, or unless the franchise shall be forfeited by a violation of this act.” 1t must be from this section of the law that the impression was obtained that the ‘charters of national banks expired in 1883, just twenty years from the . time of the enactment of the law. It will be clearly seen that there isnothing in this section upon which to found such an impression. es

The Trade Dollar. (South Bend Register.)

- Senator Voorhees announces that on his return to Congress next month he will take an early opportunity to-~ press for the passage of a bill making the trade dollar a legal-tender. He will advocate the measure ostensibly in the interest of the poorer classes. It is said, however, that the great bulk of this currency put in circula~ tion east of the Rocky Mountains is now in the hands of speculators, who are :anticipating such legislation as this which Voorhees proposes, and are holding the coin for a rise. So long as it remains a faet, as stated by Secretary Sherman, that the demand for the silver dollars already a legal-ten-der is extremely limited, and that the major portion of them issued by the government quickly find their way back to the treasury vaults in pay- - ment of dues, it would seem quite unnecessary tc play into the hands of a few speculators by still further adding tio the volume of cheap dollars. .

A Gold Organ’s Admission. (New York World, gold-bug.) The first dollar created to represent our ideal unit was no doubt a silver' . dollar just equal, if weight and fineness be taken tegether, to the Bland dollar, but in 1873 the law declared that the present gold coin “shall be the unit of value,” and the remonetization of silver in 1878 did not repeal the law of 1873 making gold te be the unit. Both parties will say their dollar is an “honest” dollar, and the silver men will allege that the setting up of the gold unit in 1873 was dis‘honest, and General Grant, to his eternal shame, has indorsed the allegation. If gold is our umit then the Bland doltar is not a‘true dollar, but if silver is our unit, as it was in 1792, then . the silver dollaris a lawfual standard.
