Tlie Bnin of Calvert's Corners. BY PETROLEUM V. NASBY. From the Spirit of the New York Times. Calvert's Corners wuz to hev bin large and flourishin town, and wood hev bin, only it wuz nipped in the bud one day, or rather in one week. One man killed wat it hed taken many men to accomplish. It wnz a hoss that roo ined that promisin town, and made miserable hamiet uv wat otherwise wood hev bin a prosprous city.

Hossefi! Hosses hev made and rooined more men than any other institooehun the Lord ever created. Hosses hev bin. my rooin three several times, wich is twict c-z many times ez a avridge man ot to be rooined. Wimmen kin stand it offner, but three times is too many for a man. I hev talent in that dreckshun.

Thirty years ago I lived in Calvert's Corners, wich wuz then a promisin viland wuz to be a promsin city. It all the elements. We he churches ild, skoolhouses to erect, plank rodes to construct, and a ralerode or two wuz promist us. It wuz a hoss that ruined all—a hoss fbat sowed salt ru that garden and made it a howlin wilderness

Thirty years ago I wuz i.r^.Jhe venerable bein I am now. On i."be.v contrary, I wuz ez green a youth ez ^ever bet his last lone dollar on the iJttle joker, on a race track,and immejitly walked home becoz uv irremediable impecooniosity.

In them days I knowd Sol Loflin, and envied him. Sol wuz the owner uv a dozen hoses, which he ran or trotted, ez the case mite be, agin watever sport who hed the possibles to risk on sich events. He wuz the most onlucky man I ever seed—he lost offner than he won— but somehow he kep on gittin richer, and addin hoss to hoss, and farm to farm. How did he do it? Let tho sekel show.

Sol lived in Calvert's Corners, and the people wuz prowd uv him,becoz he hed dun so much to improve the stack uv the country. He wuz so public spirited ez to import a hoss from England, with wich his nabors yoosed to improve their stock—at six prices. Ther wuz au oagscitement when that hoss arrove. He wuz blanketed from head to tale, and wuz taken off the cars with ez much care ez tbo he hed bin the Prince uv Wales. Men cum fifty miles to see that hoss, and Sol made a small ferchoon out uv him.

Ez Sol hed did so much for the Corners in the way uv furtherin its material intresta, the Corners bleeved in Sol, and stedfastly refoozed to bleeve in nobody else. They bleeved in him all over. They alluz bet on hoi's hosses, and seemed better pleased to lose with him than to win witjh them ez wuz agin him.

Sol'hed a hoss ur wich very much wuz expected, becoz Sol hed a printed pedigree uv him framed in his stable, besides he alluz kep him blanketed. Sol hinted to the Corners that he wuz holding Blazes till he cood git suthin with enuff money behind it to make it wuth while, and then he wantid his friends to go in regardlis. But he didn't hev long to wait, for over in Bulger there wuz a man very like Sol wich hed a hoss called Calico, wich .he intiuiatid cood git away with Blazes easy. The Corners smiled, and the upshot uv it was a match wuz made. Sol told us all to git all the bets we cood, even to givin odds, for he knood eggsackly wat Calico cood do, and wat Blazes cood do, and he ashoord us he hed the softest thing in the world

So we did go in, and when waj ooodent git bets even we gave.odds, ontil every dollar that the Corners hed and all the promissory notes that cood be drawd, wuz veucherd on the result. Deekin Adams bet §400 and then stopt. He said,that Bulger deserved punishment but it wood be onchrischen to rooin the entir® community. Elder Smith that diffrent. Ef Bulged hed faith in Calico, let it show its faith by its works. He shood take all the bets he cood git, and smite the Pfaillistines hip and thigh. That wuz the kind of a saint he wuz, halleloojer! He thot Deekin Adams' forbearance was a culpable weeknis. He wuza't shoor that he hedn't ot to be churoht for it. It was wilfully keepin capitle out uv the Corners, and he who woodent provide for his own household wuz wuss nor an iniiddle. Besides, he lacked about §1,000 of enuff to completo the church,

and

of otl tio pla

how could it be raised easier?. It wuz throwing away an opportoouity which he woodent be guilty uv nohow.

It struck some ov us ruther curus, that the people uv Belger wuzn't bet^ tin theirselves, but it wuz all bein dun by two or three fellers with large beards, tfho said they was representm. that village. But sich wuz our conh"lence in Sol that this little circuuaitance wuz passed onnotist, and we fook all they offered, goin so fur as to

To our onmitigated astouishment and onr great gri.ef, Blazes didn't perform iest ez we expected. In shoxt, be nidn perform at all. Calico walkt away irom liim with the greatest ease on the first heat, tied Lim on the secondhand beat him wita neatness and dispatch on the third.

examined both hosses, and hed made up their minds' that Blazes wuz the best hoss, and on their opinyun they wuz willin to stake their shekels. We wuz rejoist at findin sich easyi victims, and we sailed in heavy, that we mite make a little profit. We took everything offered, and so satisfied wuz we that we give em odds, ez we did before. It wuz a dead open and shet thingtbat Sol was a decayed man, and that he hed let his pride run away with bis judgement, and that ho wuz agoin to be wonst more the victim uv them Bulger fellows, which hed taken them in before. Pityin the poor man we affeckshunately implpred him to draw before it wuz evorlastinly too late. But Sol sed he'd see us teetotelly blest fust and gave us warnin that he shood win the tust two heets and kerry ori the plunder.

But this did not deceeve us. We hed the expeerence uv the other race and we hed the word uv the boy wich rid Blazes before, and consekently evry dollar wich the Corners hed lelt from its fust disaster wuz put up on Calico. Sol wuz aperiently angry, but we laft him sardonikelly, and told him that we knowei our little biz.

The fust beet wuz run, and, to our intense delite, Calico got it, tho it wuz ruther a close thing. Ther wuzu't more'n neck a tween 'em, and Blazes showed some goin power that .we bed not give him credit for. And it didn't seem to ns that Calico did quite ez well ez he did afore, tho his rider, sed he showed till he got warm. We hed faith biger than sevrel mustard seeds, and we bet our watches and overcoats.

The next hrat was rather a surpriz •. Blazes showed stavin qualities which we didn't expect, and Calico made the wildest-work imaginable. He broke badly, and the result wuz that Sol's hoss won the heat by jist a neck, leevin our money to be decidod by one heet.

There is sutbiu solium in sich' a situation. When yoor everlastin all depends onto one heet, there is a eggscitement about it that is rather too intense to be pleasant. Ez Bonapart felt when he wuz waitin for Grrouehr, ez a man feels when his all is on a single keerd at faro,:ez one feels waitin for the verdick uv a petty joory, so the Corners felt when them horses wuz a scorin.

Need I tell the sicknin tale? No! Suffice it to say Calico went nowhere. The rider of Blazas simply gave him his hed and uttered a demoniac yell, and he shot ahead like an arrer, and come into the score afore Calico hed made np his mind that he wnz expected to run.

And then the strangers wich hed bet on ther judgement walkt sweetly away with all our money, and our promissory notes, and our watches, and our overcoats-sich uv us ez hed em to bet—and they smiled politely and remarkt it was the forchoon of war, and that it would be our turn next, and bid us good day ez calmly ez tho thoy wuz princes in disguise.

We never saw them strangers no more, but we heerd.thet they all stopped aD Sol's house that nite, and that all our notes with Sol for colleckshun, and hed the sellin uvour watches, and everlastingly lost clothin- And this perfidjus Sol and ekally perfijus owner uv of Calico, immejitly bot a farm apeoce, and built noo skool, and Mrs. Loliin, ez she appeered in new plated harnis remarkt that herhusband'a success demonstatid thej.pavyer,.„q£^»,y_

broot strength. Soli aboozed us for not follerin his advise, and sed the Corners lied showed sich a lack uv confidence in him, that if it. wanted to send him to congri3 he shood decline'

I wore thin trowsis all that winter, and becum embarrassed to a degreo that I never cood recover.

To them two unforchnit days, I ascribe my subsekent misforchoons. The result uv the day wuz rooin at wholesale. Dekin Pollock hed lost half the money that hed ben raised to bild a chwrch, on Blazes, andthe balance uv it went on Calico. The drekters uv the noo plank road hed bet all the bonds uv that instooshin in the same way, and that enterpriz wuz permanently bu9ted in short, the Cpr-

ners mostly walked home a missrable bankrupt set. So fur from bein able to go on with our plank road, schoolhouse, church, new tavern, and olher enterprises that wnz to make the town, there wuzn't captile enuff left in it to shingle a hen-roost, and from that discouragement it never recovered. They date everythin from, the hoss race that went agin us, jist as other people speek uv floods and sich. Every dollar that the Corners hed accumulated went in one fell swoop, and we were busted. From that time out we did nnthin, for we hod nothin to do with. That wuz the end in Calverts. ho Corners got all tfv a suddenout ve conseet with Mr. Lofiin.«It wuz diskivered that he and the man wat owned Calico wnz pardners, that they beet Blazes first and Calico the .second time, on purpose to take us in, and thet the strangers wioh bet both times wuz simply their confednts:

And wat wuz wuss. the English hoss wuz diskivered to be a frod. It leaked out after about three years that he never come from Euglaud .at all, that Sol bot him for §1C0 in the next country, and that he drove him forty miles to get him shipped on. a. car that he mite be brot in properly. And, wat wuz wuss, it was diskivered that that wretched boy, the one that de Blazes fust, wuz a nevew uv Sol st „J*d that be manipulated the bos® ust, and ua afterward, jest ez he bed been dreckted and paid for.

Life is a curus mi£. Sol listened to all that was sed ez pleasantly as a Joon mornin,' and let us rale on. He hed the money, and he expressed hisself to the effect that all the ralin in the world woodenfcrale that out uv hia pocket, or deprive him uv the substantial rewards uv his enterprise. And he hez friends because be hez money, while I his victim am left to tho casual chances uv bein askt to drink, and. uv now and then borryin a disultory doll av. It'a a cruel world, and I should like t. be a nun.

Calvert's Corners is rooined. 'Ther hez never bin a church a noo tavern, a plank rode, skool-bousp or anything else bUt, for all its capitle wnz taken out arone fell swoop—all lost on one hoss! And I am a misrable politishn in Kentucky And all becoz tlio*-hoss did not win ez

S "After Bret Harte." From tlie Sonora, Cal., Democrat. We are about to relate an incident which would, in our opinion, form first-class basis for a story of California life, as portrayed by the thou sand and one amateur imitators of, Francis Bret Harte. First describe the surroundings. An alkali village in the heart of Mono county, where the "first low wash of civilization" is indicated by battered oyster cans and empty Bourbon bottles ^t'ae village itself a conglomeration of adoba and canvas, saloons and cabins, vice and virtue, reckless independence and supernatural idiocy the occupation of the inhabitants anything appropriate to that section of the country—at present we are at a loss to suggest any occupation suitable to the place, but have no doubt that the fertile brain of the a:«aateur will readily find something for his heuroes to earn their diurnal sustenance by. As for a name for this dilapidated, out-of-the-way place. Satan's Roost will perhaps do as well as any other. It is not at all necessary that all should be prominent, but their remarks (in dialect of course) must be judiciously selected and crammed in whenever the writer is at a loss for a paragraph. Let the broken-down bummerjplay the male hero. It may be as well to call him a man of superb education and classical parts, formerly a placer miner in the southern mines. Tlie woman who is to lend grace to the story, must be the only female in the "camp." Don't picture her as pretty or over virtuous, for that would be entirely unorthodox and not at after the style of the master Bohemian. Around these two the incidents of the storvcan cluster. The man drinks like a "fish, and the woman is "unconventional," —takes in washing for a living, and is idolized by the community in which she lives, all of which may be entirely inconsistent with the truth but no matter—you are writing a California romance, and inconsistency must be your ground plan. The mans- name is "Sandy" or "Scott" or "Pete" or "Jim" or any suggestive title. The woman may be "The Pride of Mono" or "Cherokee Sal" or "Chiquita," it matters not which. And now for the incident, "Sandy," or whatever his name is, falls in love with "The Pride of Mono." His passion is reciprocated. A gambler called "Short-Card Bill" (classical cognomen) is also in love with the heroine. Deadly animosity exists between tlie bummer and the, gambler in consequence, and they plot each other's ruin. Finally the woman tells the gambler, that she cannot love him. He rages around for a while and at last comes to the conclusion that be will decide the whole matter by an appeal to chance. He throws dice Co see whether he shall kill the bummer "Sandy" and marry "Cherokee Sal," or whether he shall mount his splendid thorough-bred and depart in the early dawn, just as a few drowsy Chinamen are wending their way down the rocky ravine to their daily labor. The dice decide that "Sandy" must die. The scene changes to the "Howling Wilderness" saloon. At this point the amateur may display his powers of description and his knowledge of perverted dialect. Enter "Sandy". Enter "Short Card Bill." Enter other cadaverous monstrosities -designated citizens of "Satan's Roost." The gambler provokes a quarrel with a 'meek-eyed bummer. A pistol fight ensues. Here tho amatuer can literaly throw him-

Hn nan^g.*-" l"HTnT.Wft'

-Sfilf- 'l tIgal, "where they piled tho dead ntside the door by cords," and in which the "short, sharp bark of the Derringer" was beard "soundinding the knell of departing souls." The gambler is victorious, and "Sandy" stretches himself out on the floor preparatory to dying in orthodox California, romantic fashion. "Short-Card Bill" mounts his horse, and in company with "Cherokee Sal," who has rele'nted, departs from that vicinfty forever. In the meantime the life blood 3lowly oozes from the left side of

Sandy." Apparently the bummer's minutes are numbered, The only physician in the place is called, and the following realistic conversation ensues: "Doc, old pard, whit's the chances?" "Slim, Sandy d—d slim.",:

up in the eyes of the by

standers—eyes that had not know tears since they last gazed upon the wellworn strap that hung beside the paternal fireplace. "Gone and left me gone, gone.gonp.", A pause, and a silence in the "Howling Wilderness" that was tomb-like in its solemnity.

How much longer, Doc., ken I hang on?" "Just two minutes and three-quar-ters," said the doctor, grasping the hand of the dying man. A convulsive shudder passes through the frame of the-delunct bummer, then raising him-" self on his eldow with a mighty effort he thrsws one arm around the nock of the doctor, and in pathetic tones exciaims: •'Kiss me, Doc, kiss me. Iv'e nothing more to live ior now that Sal's gone."" Kiss me, Doc, kiss me."

Another pause. "Time up, Doc continues tho dy-ing-man. "Time's up," replies the doctor. "About time you were dead."

More questions. The bummer tries to die, but does not Bucceed. Finally

The mystery being explained, it appears that the bullet glanced around •'Sandy's" ribs and came out near his. vertebriB instead of going straight through him as ib should have done. The man lives, much to the physician's disappointment. This magnificent plot is offered to the aspiring anaataur frge of charge.

The Most Wonderful Medical Discovery Knowii to Han While there is Life there is Hope. Don't Give Up the Ship. Read the

Following Letter from Dj\ Frazier.

Believing that cleansing the Blood wat the only true way of banishing disease and being troubled with a Scroiulous d'sease, known as Salt Rheum, and Weak ne'ssof the Lung, and finding no cufe, 3 commenced to experiment by compounding roots, usingthe medicine thus obtain etl. I fortunate'y discovered a mott won deriul Blood Searcher, or Bitters, which notonly gave me instantaneous relief, bu after few weeks' time, effected a perfect cure, I tuen prepared a quantity of Root Bitters, and was in the habit of giving them away to the sick. I found the medi cine possessed the most wonderful virtues, effecting cures of all diseases, originating from bad blood or weakness of the system, as if by magic. A.t last the demand became so great that I lound myself called upon to supply patients with medlcin in all parts of the continent, and I was compelled to establish a Labratory for compoundingand bottling the Root Bitters in large quantities 1 was iirst backward in presenting either myfelf or remedy to the public, not being a patent medicine man, and with iimited capital, but 1 am getting bravely over that. Since 1 first advertised this wonderini medicine I have been crowde with orders l'rom druggists and countj dealers, and the (-cores of letters I receiv from persous cured, prove the fa6t that remedy has ever'done so much good a had such a success as the Boot Bitters.

Root Bitters are strictly a Medicinal prep aration, such as was used in the good old days oi our forefathers, wh^n people were ouied by some Kim pie root or plant, and wnen calomel and other poisons of the mineral kingdom were unknown. Forconsumption, A sthma, Catarrh .Scrofula, Scrofu'ous Eruptions, Rheumatism, Uesrt Disease. Dizziness. Livei '"omplaint. Kidney and Urinary Diseases,^ rer and Aeue.Dispepsia. Lost Vitalitv, Broken. Down. Constitutions, these Root Bitters are Universally admitted to be the most wonderful discovery In the world. Their searching, healing properties penetrate every portion of the human irame, soothing the luL'gsand strengthing tne stoinaeh, kidney*, and liver. For weakly, nervous young men suffering from loss jjf memory etc., caused from abuses in early lifo, and to delicate tamales, these Root Bitters are especially recommended. No other medi cine will cure Scurv.v, Salt Rhenm, Bolls, Tetter,Ringworm, Whita Swelling, Sore Eyes, Running of the Ears, Ulcers, Fever bores, Cancerous Formations, Dropsy, Eresipelous,Pimples,Flesh Worms, Pustules, Blotches and all SkiL. diseases, so quickly as ihe Root Bitters. All Root Bitters lay the azeat the Root of the Jj ee -of.disease, by searching and purifying the blood" whlca Will nourish and invigorate- every" oigao and part of the body and keep it In repair until a ripe old age.

I warrant my Root Bitters a.perfect cureforth ab ve and similar diseases, and in case of Jailure. where the medicine has had a fair trial, will thank all to call or write and get back their money. Show this to •£our druggist, or storekeeper, if he dont have a stock ot my Root Bitters on hand, ask him to order a supply or encloso me the price by mail and you will receive the medicine by express.
