I'm fifty, I'm fair, and without a gray hair, As I feel just as young as a girl. When I think of Zorbahei Lee, I declare It note me all into a whirl. Last night he was here, so I told him to clean, An't my! how surprised he did look! Perhaps I was rush, but he's after my cash; I see through his plans like a book. Some offers I've had that I cannot call bad. There was Benjamin Philander Brown— I'd a martin said yes, when he wanted a him, If he hadn't so illustrated me. It took me so quick, that it felt like a kick. Wry! I saw all beep a once. Sea I," You king; I'm not needin' a bean." I acted I know like a dance. Sez he, or he rose," I have come to propose"— I stopped him afresh he began— "You better go and see Hopebah Stow; I won't be ked down to a man." "Marter," sez he," Wither Tempkins am' me Can strike up a bargain I know; An, seren'rz we can't do too agree, My! I guess that I better bed go." He picked up his hat from the chair where he sat, And he solemnly stared at say, Sez I, with a look hat I no sure mustook, "You're perfectly welcome to stay—" My face got real on one old wagon sheet; I thought for the land I should not ask. Sez he," I am done, would not best one." I wish he'd known how I fell. To-day Isaac Boers, with his suitkers an' snears, Where face is so ugly ex thin. Dropped in jealous to see about buyin' my stears, An' knotted the mole on my chin. Sez I," you jest quit, I don't like you a bit, Your manner le rather too free; You'd better believe till Jane's old in her grave, You can't come your sawder on me. When dear David died, ex I got by his side, He metched up my hand to his own, He squeezed it awhile, an' he sex, with a smile, "You'll soon be a widder alone. An' when I am gone, don't you fuss or take on Like old widder Dorothy Day; Look out for your fin of you merry again, Nor throw your affections away." My children are grown and got houses o' their own, They're doing well on they can, Art I'm getting rich o' this livin' alone, I wouldn't mind having'a man. Fur David has gone to the mansions above, His body is cold in the ground. If you know o' a man who would marry fur love, Seat find him an' send him around. A SWIM FOR LIFE. A Western Episode. "Say, stranger, there's something wrong yonder, isn't there?" Thus spoke a rough-looking miner on the outskirts of the camp to a Mexican who was walking hastily past. The stranger understood but imperfectly the remark addressed to him, but he replied, "Horses stole," and proceeded on his way, his long spurs jingling at every stop. The miner looked after him anxiously, and, when he had disappeared down the hill, turned toward the saloon, muttering something about home things and judge, knocking on the verdict. To the bystanders, the guilty." A cry of joy over an explanation of vented by Ogden Fletcher his revolver, committee, ropiled. "Gentlemen, you than that. Try agility tend to the evidence." He handled his spoke, and the they were not let for time was passively increasing in several toe bad some distance. In five minutes thither them, and this time gave the verdict "Quite correct."

"Say, stranger, there's something wrong yonder, ain't there?" Thus spoke a rough-looking miner on the outskirts of the camp to a Mexican who was walking hastily past. The stranger understood but imperfectly the remark addressed to him, but he replied, "Horses stole," and proceeded on his way, his long spurs jingling at every step. The miner looked after him anxiously, and when he had disappeared down the hill, turned toward the saloon, muttering something about horse-thieves and hanging, and strolled, or, as he would have himself said, "loned" into the bar, where an excited assembly was gathered. "We'll, they've gone clean away;" cried the owner of the missing animals; "and my horses nor donkeys don't stray by nature. There's been some thieves around, you bet!" "Like enough; but who's the man? However, if we ketch him, gentlemen, we'll shoot him fair." "Give him a trial and rope him—that's the cure," said the owner. "And now tow business. My treat, gentlemen. Drinks round, and then I'll follow the tracks a bit, and let you know." Such an offer was not to be slighted. The "drinks" having been fully appreciated by all present, at the expense of their health and brains, the owner of the missing beasts departed to follow the trail, which led toward the canon up the river. Ogden Smith, or "Soft" Smith, as he was not unusually called, had that very morning taken his horses to water downstream, and left them in a safe place pending their disposal. Ogden had been unfortunate in his prospecting. He was neither quick-witted nor quick-tempered, though ready enough with his six-shooter when circumstances seemed to warrant its use... But for this trait, "Soft" Smith would have been stamped with a strong variation of the term "ridiot." He followed the tracks mechanically, and after about half a mile, finding they still led up toward the hills, he returned, and as he strode back, breathing vengeance against his spoilers, he noticed human footprints on the further side of the trail—heavy boot and spur-marka. He felt inclined to track these again, but knowing the trail would lead to the river, then flooded with malting snows, he decided to return to the camp and enlist the vigilants in his cause. It has never been correctly ascertained why horse-stealing was then; and is still regarded as a worse crime than the taking of human life; but that this is the case in the West is undoubted. Many a rough digger was permitted to add to the noses already cut in the pistol-bust, but a horse-thief was hunted down and executed summarily. Notwithstanding a gathering storm the men in the saloons, as soon as they had heard Ogden Smith's report, determined to do vengeance on the criminal. The sufferer, meantime, met with much sympathy, and "dust"—gold dust, that caused for currency—was freely shaken into Ogden's hat in the bar-room.

Many a rough digger was permitted to add to the notches already cut in the pistol-bolt, but a horse-thief was hunted down and executed summarily. Notwithstanding a gathering storm the men in the saloos, so soon as they had heard Ogden Smith's report, determined to do vengeance on the criminal. The sufferer, mountain, met with much sympathy, and "dust"—gold dust, then came for currency—was freely shaken into Ogden's hat in the bar-room. The discussion as to whom the thief might be was waxing warm, when a voice cried: "Reckon some Mexican's had a hand in this game." This suggestion was at once adopted, and Bill, the miner, said: "Aye, then I can show him. I saw him on the hill above this morning. Did you notice any tracks?" "I did," replied Smith, eagerly. "Large boots and spur marks, too. That's the man!" "We'll go for him. Who knows his place?" Several present did, and one man added: "He's a mighty quick shot, you may depend." "We're more of us than him," was the answer of the leader. "He can't fix us all. Now, gentlemen, we must proceed regular." Panel a jury, if you please; but there is no use in wasting time." The jury was quickly chosen, and, in order to avoid unnecessary delay, horses were brought out, and the whole party rode through the driving rain and temper to the Mexican's hut. The door was burst open, and, before the surprised occupant could use his weapon, he was seized and bound and thrown helpless on the floor. Before he was disabled, however, he managed to seize and retain a small knife, which he thrust into his sleeve. To his questions he got but scant replies. The jury were ushered into a small shed, and told to deliberate upon their verdict, after a few questions had been put to the criminal, who protested his innocence. One bystander, more humane than the rest, volunteered to act as prisoner's advocate, and addressed the jury as a matter of form, for he knew the stranger's doom was sealed. After a pause the jury again retired, and in a few minutes the self-annointed sage, knocking at the door, asked for the verdict. To the astonishment of the bystanders, the answer was, "Not guilty." A cry of joy escaped the Mexican; an examination of disappointment was vented by Ogden Smith. But the Judge drew his revolver, and, beckoning to the committee, replied calmly: "Gentlemen, you'll have to do better than that. Try again, and this time attend to the evidence." He handled his pistol monocingly as he spoke, and the jury retired again. They were not long left undisturbed, for time was passing, the tempest was increasing in severity, and the committee had some distance to ride that night. In five minutes the Judge again called them, and this time the obedient twelve gave the verdict "Guilty!" "Quite correct," said the Judge. "I approve. It's a verdict. Carry out the sentence, yew," he added, to two of his associates. "And now, gentlemen, I think we've done our duty. The bosses wait. How ye anything to say?" he inquired of the criminal. The poor man pleaded earnestly for money, and protested his innocence wildly, but it was useless. The majority of the party then left the hut, and the two men, placing their nahappy prisoner or stride a mule, nubound him, except for a turn of the rope on his left wrist, and walked beside him to the place of execution. There his outer clothing was taken from him, and his boots—those fatal witnesses—laid aside. He was then fastened to a tree. The place of execution had been well chosen. It was a low point jutting out into the river just below the rapids. The current was running swiftly, swollen by the melting snows and the tremendous rain, which was still descending in torrents. From this point the river descended rapidly. Higher up, but then obscured by the thickly falling rain and mist, was a high ridge, which projected across the river, and formed a sort of bow-like inclosure, in the center of which was (and is) a small wooded island. Below this spot the river divides. It becomes narrower, and passing on the right side over a small, rocky breakwater, or natural barrier, it takes a treemounted heap shear 100 feet over the rock, spreading out from the base near its descent. On the left side of the island the stream has worn away the rock to a great extent, and on that side one water hurries down a rapid at a steep angle, and at the bottom meets deep water, which drives in a swift current over the right shore, to a strip of beach or low ground—a watering station hat, boys; fill in your dust now, and let him have it." No second bidding was needed. Very soon the heap of gold-dust had reached a goodly pile, to which Soft Smith was a most liberal contributor. Ogden Smith was considerably lagged at, but the Mexican was regarded as a hero and prospered. The camp in time was broken up, but there are many still alive who remember that swim for life across the Small Snake river. Clothing and Disease. It may not, perhaps, be known that a man wearing dark clothes is more liable to infection from contagious diseases than he who wears light-colored garments, because particles which emanate from diseased or decaying bodies are much more readily absorbed by dark than by light fabrics. This is easy of proof. Expose a light and dark coat to the fumes of tobacco for five minutes and it will be found that the dark one smells stronger than the other of tobacco smoke, and it will retain the odor longer. Throbbin can scarcely ever be heard more than twenty or thirty miles from New York that produced it. Hoppers in Yolo. R.B. Blowers says that he is now fighting the grapevine leaf-hopper in his vineyard near Woodland, by using about five pounds of homemade soap and the same amount of sulphur, to forty gallons of water. It is applied with three fountain pumps at one time on the vine; the workman standing equidistant, the vine being the center of the triangle. The spray carries the hoppers to the ground, and two or three dashes of spray complete that part of the work. Two men, with shovels, as quickly as possible cover the hoppers with fine earth sufficiently deep to prevent their eauctioneer. The wash is also a good antifungal preparation. The earth thrown around the vines is intended for their last dressing, so that the expense of the shovels should not be charged to the hopper fight. LUMBER YARD PLANING, SAWING, AND MOULDING MILLS.

It gave him courage. One minute more and he would be clear; with renewed energy he strove, and with a despairing effort clutched the rock. His legs swung for a second into the milky mass of water above the cataract. Could he bear the strain? A cheer from the shore; a mighty effort—swung himself over, and with a long, sweeping stroke dashed down the rapids and disappeared. The men turned away, breathing more freely, and returned as hastily as possible to camp to report. The storm still continued; the river had run up the creek, and it was nightfall ere, wet to the skin and chilled to the bones, they gained the saloon. Here all was confusion; twenty tongues were speaking at once, and all condemning "Soft" Smith. The "Judge" was present, and as the two men entered he said, "I'm kinder sorry we hanged that Mexican. We've done him an injury, boys, I'm afeard." "Save trouble in the end, mebbe," said another. But the Judge shook his head. "What's the matter?" inquired the late comers. "Why, Soft Smith's a fool. He's found his beasts safe at home, where they went o' themselves, having broke halter. The tracks was the Mexican's tracks, but only to his own location. We've done that man a wrong, and I'm ready to apologize; I can't say fairer. Here's his health!" A voice from the doorway replied: "I drink to that!" and as all eyes were turned in the direction of the sound, a ragged, half-naked form, the limbs bruised and bleeding from deep scratches, walked up to the bar.

THE ATTENTION OF HOUSEKEEPERS AND the public in general is called to the following facts: The value of Baking Powder is determined by the amount of gas it contains and the freedom of the article from any injurious ingredients. The GIANT BAKING POWDER is absolutely pure, and contains about one-quarter more gas than any brand of Baking Powder in use on this Coast. Three cents of GIANT BAKING POWDER are equal to four cans of any other brand. Study economy and use none other. Your grocer will furnish you with a sample can free. Try it. FACTS. SAN FRANCISCO, JULY 13, 1883. DOTHIN MANUFACTURING CO.
