Col., one day 'aa .Kan an . . , I 1 tered ftsked lf that was the place where they sold shares of the White Horse Silver Mine. Being assured he was in the office of the company, he observed : 4I have heard of the,White Horse spoken of as a likely mine. ' 'It cei tainly is. We took in $20, 000 worth of ore out in one day.

That will give pard his money back, and buy me a winter outfit besides. Here's your sheers and now let me see the color of your money 1' 'But sir we,' i 'Pass out the cash I' said the old man as he rested the end of his shooter on. the edge of the counter. The company had left his revolver in his overcoat outside, and he didnt beleive that the New Yorker would shoot for him? After a look around, he began counting his money with a bland smile, and as he made the change ne said: 'Certainly, sir, greatest of pleasure sir. Sorry you aiant noia tnem one day more, and get the full face val ue!'' . ; i r;" Some men begin to be lucky when they are mere boys. A twelve year old boy shot at a cat in Lead ville last week, but fortunately missed the cat nd killed an influential citizens, who was asleep in the back yard of a neighboring saloon. . As the iufluen tial citizen happened to be a delegate from Texss, who had killed several men, and of whom the Leadville po lice had a holy horror, the joy of the citizens was great. The boy received an oration. The mayor made neat little speech on presenting him with a gold mounted revolver. As the boy expressed a desire to be raised for the ministry, a fund was raided to send him- to a theological institnte. Nothing has, however, been done for the cat. Texas Sifl- An Interesting Fact. In France j a 11 patent medicines must be endorsed by an official board .of phy scians before thev can te sold. In lien of such a law in A-neries, the people have resolved themselves into a National committee which has endorsed Swaine'i j Ointment tor allaying the itch-?, accom panying the Pile?, as the only reliable frenieiiy in the market. It is a poor rul that won't woik both ways.

Our First Circrus "Ad." , Yesterday a young man with the good clothe3 of g bunko steered, and the glad, effulgent look of a great man who is comfortably ruli, came into the Boomerang oCSce and after some mental labor at the desk of the society editor, who had gone over across the street for a bologna sau- s'age, produced the following ad ver tisement, which he desired for two weeks on the fourth- page of the Boomerang, i SEASOK OF 1S81. Grand, farewell 1 tour of the only double and twisted, all wool aggrega gatioh, the world 's congress of won ders. and Torchlight procession of arenic talent, headed by a living phalanx of gold bespattered chartots and winged monsters of the briny deep, followed by the most jewhili ken, gosh-all-hemlock exposition of camels with twisted tails, whapp J jawed giraffs and speckled hyenas rom further India, squeaking bab- bobns with purple snouts, early rose dromedaries from Europe,slim tailed birds of paradise and big snake from everywhere. Bear in mind Ithe day and date. The royal, imported, perhillion stunner of the known world will he in Laramine on its way to visit the crowned heads of Europe, July 4th, for one day only. Don't fail to see the bearded lady on the flvme: traneze. or the wild eed lunatic from Kkowhengan, j Maine,in his scrumptious sweep from the top of a flour barrel to the middle of the arena. Volumptuous reserved seats made of two by four scantling set on xlge. Come early and get your seats. This is the only whoopemupliza- jane show on earth.

It is a matter of jonrnaliatic record that some years since, a schooner set eail from Baltimore, having on board a crew of .thirteen men. By a most singular freak of nature, the entire force was at tacked by a&kin disease, which mani fested itself in large ulcerated sores on the arm sand hands, wholly in incapac- itntimr the men from duty. The results 0 was that the vessel was towed back to the city where the men were placed in the hospital. Moral ! Had S waine's Ointment for skin dieaees been used ii the first place? the crew would have re covered in frcra 12 t 21 hours. Wjiat Mother Does. A little boy on his wav to build fires and I sweep offices in Boston,; wnne tne sjtars were yet in the sky told the waiter : "My mother gets me up, builds the fire and gejjts my breakfast and sends me off. Ten she gets my father up and gets hs breakfast and sends him off. Then she gives the other chil dren their breakfast .and sends them off to schopi; and then she and the baby havejtneir oreakfast." , "now oip is me DaDyi" i ascea. "Oh she! is most two, but she can talk and wlalk as well as any of us-" ! "Are you well paid?" "I get i a weefc, and my father gets $2 a day." '-.-' ' - :v-i? How iruch do your mother get?" With a bewildered look" lie said : ' Motheri! Why she dont work for anybody.'! - "I thought you sai,d she worked for all of youi" "Oh yefe, for us she does .But there ain'tj any money into it." This wife of a . day laborer repre sents a large class of hard working women. . - S i ' The compensations of affection, the love of husband of children, and the nameless J and numberless - blessings that come with and belong to the family life, can no more make up to a wife the.' loss of all money value for her service than they would to her husband if. the same poverty of posi tion were Ith rust upon him." 1 1 . ':' Possum Sop and Taters!" J- ' - . : The opossum is a great delicacy in the Sourthern portion of the United States. The negroes especiallyjgolfair-J ly wild over them, and during the season their mouths water at the bare mention of "possum. A Georgia negro gwe expression to his feelings on the subject as follows : J ' 'Oo oojee 1 go way nigger I You des gim me one of de up country 'possums, of de-ran say fo' yere ble, been kind be sence simmom time ; you take your dog, run him bout five mile, till he git tender, an den tree him, cut pim down, cotch him, and bring hirii home'; clean him all over nice, salt him down, and let him lay zactly tvJo days and tbree nights -,den on o thsrft; xiay :n -trttTOtrrrrnt -psx1 bile himfby de watqh three hours; den take him outen de bile, put him rvn f.rv rlu waw rpn vnn Kata Him will I butter, peper and barbecue for two more hoArs; den put grate big yam taters all round him in a row, an pour on le taters an possum tell it all sme 111 like taters and taste like possum.

'Yes'j' said the millionair,in a dry last-year sort of a voice. "Ten minutes, thank you sir jwrite tnecnecK." "What check?" said the mUlionair; "Perhaps I'd better explain. A noted mathematician has calculated your income to be one dollar per sec ond. With you, of course, time is money, face value. Now, you have given me ten minutes, amountuig, i . ... you soe to $500. Have you got the money hbout you or will you give me a check?" - The liiillionair looked at the mani n silence. "I'll i do the fair thing. : Make it five hundred . Hanged if I don't be easy wjth you.

Every Sunday a clergyman of some denomination goes; out to the State Prison at Carson and treats the prisoners to a sermon. Yesterday the reverend gentleman who had been taking his turn at the. tneological wheel accosted an intellU gent looking convict out m the yard with: , . 'I never see you at divine serv?. ice?" - "No," answered the prisoner (in for an unsucessful stock transaction No, my work out here in the yard makes it impossible for me to at tend!" 44 Ah, sorry to hear it. We've just had a very . pleasant ttmeuervioe and choir singing" and everything precisely the same as in our church. The only difference (this quizically was in the congregation. " "Yes." retumedjtne convict camly. 'this congregation has been caught. His reverence gazes afar on a field and silently admires the beauties of nature. -Virginia (Nev.)Coronu I How an Aligator Eats. An Aligator'8 throat is an anima- ed sewer. Everj'thing which lodges in his open mouth goes down; lie is a lazy dog, and instead of hunting for something to eatj he lets his vict uals hunt'for him. That is. he lies with his great mouth open apparent ly like the 'possum. Soon a bug crawls into it, then pray, then sever al gnats, and a colony of mosquitoes; The aligator dosn't close his mouth yet. He a waiting for a whole drove of things. He does his -eating by wholesale. f;. A little later a lizard wiH cool him self under the shade of the upper jaw. Then a few more frogs will hop up to catch the mosquitoes, Then more mosquitioes and gnats light on- the frogs. Finally a whole villiage of insects and reptiles settle down for an afternoon picnic. j The big draw falls, the aligator slyly blinks one eye, gulps down the entire menegerie,and opens his great front door again for more visitors.

"Wasn't he even sorry for water ing his vinegar?" i "He didn't say so " ,Well, it may be that the Lord has seen fit to poke him up a little around the edges, but before you receive him into the church you'd better give him a far chance to pass a quar ter with a hole in it. If he res ists the temptation I shall pray the Lord to continue the wrestle unlil Satan gets three straight falls." A Colored Fatalist. An Austin colored preacher, being called upon to make a few remarks at the grave of a boy, sai d: "Deahlv belubbed breddrin sistnn, de day an de hour when each and eh ery one ob us must yield up our sperets am done sot, but ef a kind Providence had not1 made de cow- cumbers late dis heah season, dis heah promisin boy would have clomb de golden stair several weeks ago.
