Mr. David G. Adee's sketoh is in the Brot
Ilarte vein. "Jim Wagman of Wagman's
Lode" is so clever that we give it entire:
The country for many miles about Penny
Creek is wild and waste for such a fertile
State as Nevada. Great ledges of rock and
boulders, jagged and broken in form, are
strewn about as if Dame Nature had spurned
them from her lap as refuse material whioh
she disdained to mould into shapeliness.
Veins of silver and copper were generally
supposed to line this region, and adventurous
miners, scum from tfle great cities of our land,
Bought a refuge in that thinly-settled locali
ty from many of the ills that flesh is heir to
in densely-populated districts. At this place,
in 18U3 Jim Wogman of New
Jersey flung down his knapsack,
proclaimed, at the point of his revolver, the
surrounding area of many acres to be his
"lode," as was the wont of that class of ad
venturers, and proposed, in his own words,
"to strike ile." There Jim stayed and had
it all his own way for a month, when hi
provender gave out and his whisky-keg fell
empty. He also began to grow sick of soli
tude, and sighed for the happiness and solaoe
incident to wedlock. Nobody had molested
him: he had spoken to no living soul. All was
serene. Mady owned the contiguous lode on
the left; Pete Mott . farmed the next
nearest; Sal Soriber, ' scorning all lodes
as "frauds," kept a hotel two miles
away, np the Lorg Saw road, and "enter
tained" the neighboring miners. Jim had
behaved so scurvily wheu he first arrived that
he well knew any chance of obtaining sup
plies from his male neighbors was out of the
question. So, with a squirt of the juice into
the big hole he had dug in the earth, he made
up his mind to try his hand with the old girl
for a double purpose to replenish his larder
and feel his way into the sacred bonds of
matrimony, or such substitute therefor as was
then customary in that particular section of
the Union.
"Curse it!" said he: "a man must have fod
der and fetninines, or git."
Whether the "gitting" referred to consisted
in forsaking that portion of the oountry or
abruptly departing this life is unknown. But
Jim proceeded to get himself up to oall on Sal
Scriber. Out of his "chisp" he raked a clean
red flannel shirt, a pair of blue overalls, and a
glazed cap also a Coll, a bowie stamped
"San Fran.," and a leathern wallet. Having
flung the chest into the dug-out and hauled on
his jackboots, he took a dry wash, "dressed,"
tipped out a farewell oath and started.
Sal Scriber's hotel was a broad-built cabin
of wood, unpainted and uncleanly, standing
on the right bank of Penny creek, and
guarded by an unequivocal animal with short
horns and a deep bass voice. Sal Scriber's
black Durham was a notorious charaotor in
those parts, having nearly gored to death two
men, a mule, and a hog within a week of his
arrival. Sal Soriber herself was a diminutive
creature, broad as tall, musoular and fearless,
and of a swart but not unprepossessing coun
tenance. Her history she exhibited a marked
modesty about alluding to, which retioence
the miners duly respeoted and attributed to
motives of female delicacy. In a free fight
Sal was quite at home, and for profanity and
vulgarity hadn t her equal in Urow county;
which it is taking a great deal upon one's self
to say. .It was on a "cottar's Saturday night"
that Jim Wagman stopped at the door
ef Sal Scriber's hotel. Darkness was ren
dered visible by a tallow dip w Irish sputtered
in the window, and a noisy chorus of harsh,
gruff voioes came from inside, as if painfully
struggling with the weighty burden of a song,
Jim kicked loudly with his heel, when the
song suddenly ceased, and a shrill tone rung
out on the night air: "Do you want to knock
that door into flinders, durn ye i
"I only want to get in, mum," replied Jim,
ponteJy.
Then, why In don't ye?"
It just occurred to Jim that the door might
not be locked; so be hoisted a heavy iron
latch and pushed his way into the single apart
ment of which the hotel consisted.
"Good evening, mum," said Jim, address
ing the hostess, in order to effect a favorable
impression in that quarter at the earliest
available moment.
"Good be rejoined that lady; "it's
coin' to rain afore long, if it ain't rainin'
now."
There was a table in the middle of the
room with bottles and cards upon it, about
which was gathered a rugged group of san
burned, tawny, bearded men, with pipes in
their mouths and glasses in their hand, and
a mad, malevolent scowl on their ugly faces
at Bight of the stranger. In a -corner of
the hearth, on which burned an armful
of fagots (that hearthstone bi familiarly
known as the "ingleaiJo"' in oanny Scotland),
sat Sal Scriber in person, warming her knees
and knitting up the heel of a woollen stock
ing. Receiving no invitation to take a seat,
Jim dropped Liujsblf plump into oae of his
own accord, saying, "I believe I'll take
cheer." for he thought he'd be easy and com
f ortable at first in order to conciliate the fair
object (theoretically) of his designs. And
Sal Scriber was evidently softening, pleased
by this nnusual deference, for she half turned
toward him and answered, "Sit away. I
guess I know how to keep a hotel." So marked
a condescension seemed to soger the men,
for they 1 scowled harder than
ever, and one broke xmr, . 4,lf
any darned skunk says as yer can't, 1 11 wallop
him, ihat'a all."
A grin of satisfaction at this expression of
public sentiment p.saed around the table, aui
fresh drinks were fil ed out. '
Jim took in the situation at a gauce, for
he was a man of many iyerinofH, and whs
equal to that or any other moderate emer
gency. "Gentlemen," said ho, "if yoa'U allow
Hie" ihow he remembered so much politeness
was a mystery to him all the time), "I'll otll

ye in a biuile."
The miners, with one exception that of the
angry speaker were molliaad ana silently
acquiesced.
"Perhaps," said Jim, when tne bottle was.
brought, "if lt'e not going too fur to ask it,
Mrs. Scriber will likewise jine in a smile."
The lady was np in arms in a moment.
'Look 'a here, saucy ! don't yer dare to mis
sus me I What do you take me for? Oae
o them durn thin-skinned critters what sub
mit to being sung over in a churoh by a chap
in a white Bight-shirt afore they kin look a
man in the face ? Not much, I ain't."
"I beg yer pardon, mum, answered Jim;
I meant no offense."
"A damn rude thing to say, anyhow!" mut
tered the ugly-tempered miner. s
lou shut! continued Sal. ' I don t want
to have a muss. The feller did't know me)
that's what's the matter. What's yer name,
stranger?"
"Jim Wagman, mum, said Jim with his
best no, his only bow.
Ob! ' broke in the growler again, "that
infernal, mean, surly cuss next to me, down
in the diggin's! Oh, yer want to come to
terms, do ye? Yer too late, let me tell yer."
"Will yer bnsh up, Mady? said the woman,
angrily. "It's none o yer durn bnsiness.
What did yer come her fur, Wagman?"
Jim was put to his wits for an instant.
'That's tellinV'said he after a pause. "Yer
see I got kind o' lonely and wanted company;
bo l came to can on a rale lady.
"Fiddle!" replied that delicately refined
person . uon t come none o yer- lies over

"Well, mum, if the truth won't suit von.
rilsavlkum after some whisky: mine's all
gone.
mat s more like it, answered Sal. "Yon
want a good drunk, don't ye?"
Jim made no response; so the bewitching
creature brought another bottle, which Jim
nnoorked by breaking the neck, and amid
cries of "Pitch in!" "Go it, old feller!" "Fill
her three fingers," and similar expressions of
delight and conviviality, the company of jolly
boys prooeeded "to drink stone blind."
Jim Wagman was a wise one, though. He
had come to Bee the lady, and meant to inter
view her yet. bo, when that bottle was gone,
another wasfurnished, and still another, until
the miners of Penny creek succeeded in
'making Borne howl" and "the angels weep"
to their hearts' content. But Jim drank but
little. Watching his opportunity while the
men were deeply sunk in card and drink, he
drew nearer the side of Sal Scriber and said
in a low tone, "Sal, I did come far to see
you."
bal eyed mm askance and answered with
caution, "And what did yer want ter see me
fur, Wagman?"
"why, yer know, I struck some silver in
my lode, and feeling kind o plaied out, I
thought I'd come np and see you, yer know."
"What did you want of me, Wagman?
Durn ye, why don't ye spit it out?
"Well, yer know. 1 knew yer was single
and and solitary, and I thought I'd just
come and kind o' yer knowl"
"What, Jim?"
"Well, I'll let you have it plump. Why.
Sal, I want a wife bad, and yer see, old gal,
you'll jest suit me to a T. Thar! "
It was to be expeoted that the oath
Sal Scriber would emit from her dulcet
lips at this sudden declaration would
have brought down the roof in judg
ment upon the drunken heads of the
company, or that a California earth
quake would have broken out and Swallowed
np the house of sin with all its inmates in a
moment. But, marvellous to relate, not so.
On the contrary, Sal Scriber smiled a smile
of approval which disclosed to Jim's en
raptured view one tooth, some stumps and a
root with the filling out and softly whis
pered, "Jim Wagman, I've heern of you.
You've struck ile, Jim. You don't drink
drunk; you can't lick me if yer tried; and
besides, yer rather a good-looking, feller,
Jim, fer a Nevada man. I say, Jim. are yer
on the square?
"Sal, cried Jim, his voice swelling with
warmth of feeling "Sal Scriber, only try me,
that's all."
"Done!" said the lady quickly, and taking
two glasses from the cupboard, filled out a
double allowance of the "ginuine" to clinch
the bargain with. Bat, saith the adage,
"There is many a slip 'twixt the oup and the
lip." As Jim was in the act of tossing off the
article, a big, strong band was interposed be
tween the light and the liquor, and the vessel
was rndely dashed from before the aperture
prepared to receive its contents to the sodden
floor.
'Damn ye, I'll stop that ar game, you 'Wag
man! Afore yon can nave that gal, you u
have to nght fur yer life. Take that, yer
hound! Der yer think to come into into this
retreat of innocence and and bliss, and chuck
ruin and and desolation Oh, damn yer,
come on and Bboot, will yer?
"Mady, git out o this hotel, I tell yer!
Now sit do you hear? or I'll be the death
o' ver!" shouted the woman.
"None o' yer jawj Sal: yer more'n half
mated to me already. Jist turn that feller off
and stick to ver fust lav.'
"Hell!" shrieked the infuriate Sal, blind
with rage. "Go, or 1 11 ciaw yer.
Sides bad been taken during the oontro-
v ersy. Pete Mott, Mady's neighbor and con
sequent enemy, ranged himself and
two personal friends, who had been
tonohed by Jim's generosity in treating
to square drinks, by the Bide of the
latest suitor. Three of the others, in
order' to make a first-class free fight,
stood np in support of Mady. f The rest, old
frequenters of the house, put their heads to
eether and determined to stand by Sal aud
eee fair play all around. All drew knives or
pistols, Borne both. Sal abruptly disappeared,
perhaps, with a proper discretion, wishing to
discountenance bo fieroe a rivalry for her fair
hand, or to relieve the brutal contestants of
the embarrassment of her stimulating and
fascinating presence.
A shot was fired down went a rrua
Another. Mady, with a furious curie,
sprang at Jim Wagman knife in hand;
Jim fired and missed. They croused
bowie-knives and fenced wildlv. Watching
his chance, Mady suddenly struck his weapon
through Jim s left forearm, which sank crip
pled to his side and let his revolver fall to the
ground. Now it was knife and knife. Other
shots were fired, ether men met their end,
and still the two principals lunged madly at
each other. Both were deluged with blood.
I he crisis had come. J lm was growing graau
ally weaker nd weaker: be was plainly over
matched. The table was upset aud the candle
knocked over. But fiercely and cruelly they
four: lit by the blaze of the log-fire, and spat
tt-red tha hearthstone, that sacred emblem of
borne, with human gore.
With a stroke and a eursa Jim knocked out
Mady's front teeth with the butt of his kuife.
aud Mady plunged his blada well into Jim a
shoulder. Oaths, howls, and the fearful thud
of falling bodies broke upon the ear from out
that gloomfof flickering light.
The storm of passion rivalled that of the
biimbtone lake itself. Those four walls of
wood contained a seething, fermenting ma
of immortal ' beings, devilishly bent upon
severing soul from body, and Bending it,
blaok with Bin, before the Eternal Judge.
Suddenly the door was broken through
with a loud crash, a mad bellow drowned the
rproar of the room, and, lashing its sides
with fury at the tumult, flinging
white froth from its distended nostrils,
and pawing np the earthen floor with
its hoofs, Sal Scriber's blaok Durham
dashed straight into the centre of the mixed
contestants and charged right and left.
Catching Mady upon its short, sharp horns,
it threw him with all its demouiao force
against the raftered ceiling, and tossed him
agRin and again as he fell, until the hot fumes
of his drunken breath had left his bloated
body.
In the height of the scene a dwarfish woman
of swarthy hue rushed forward, and seizing
Jim Wagman, faint and nearly gone, in her
brawny arms as if he had been the merest
baby, bore him quickly away from
the house and out into the soggy
night air, away from death and dan
ger. The hand that let loose the
black Durham and drove it with a goad into
the surging fray the hand that saved Jim's
life and nursed him afterward as tenderly as
so coarse a creature could the hands that
Jim Wagman kissed in gratitude and love,
such as rude miners sometimes feel in their
strong hearts, and claimed for his own when
he grew better that hard, brown, horny
hand, so scarred and furrowed, belonged and
belongs to the present female resident of
Wagman s Lode Sal Scriber, late of Penny
Creek Hotel, and joint-owner with Jim Wag
man of the famous coal-black Durham so well
known throughout Crow county, Nevada.

ton's Thoughts about Art Among my Books,
This number of the Atlantic is notable for
its poetical contributions, Mr. Longfellow.
Mr. Saxe, and George Eliot each appearing
with verses of more or less excellence. ' 'Arm.
gart," by George Eliot, is a dramatio sketoh
written with much power, but unsatisfactory
and not calculated to remove the impression
upon the minds of her admirers that one of
the greatest novelists of the day is wasting
her genius in endeavoring to foroe herself
into a field of art for which she is unfitted.
George Eliot has not yet made a reputation
as a poet, and probably she never will; and
although "Armgart" will be read because she
is the author of it, there will be few who will
not finish it without a sigh that the author of
"Adam Bede" and "Romola" had not fur
nished a prose poem instead.
The following are Mr. Longfellow's
verses:
THK B0T AND THE BROOK.
Armenian popular tong, from th pros version of Alithan.
Down from yon distant mountain height
The brooklet flows through the village street;
A boy comes forth to wasu his hands,
Washing, yes washing, there he stands,
In the water cool aud sweet.
'Brook, from what mountain dost thou come?
O my brooklet cool and sweet!"
"I come from yon mountain high and cold,
Where Ueth toe new snow on the old,
And melts In the summer heat."
"Brook, to what river dost thou go?
O my brooklet cool and sweet 1"
"I go to the river there below
W here In bunches the violets grow,
And sun and shadow meet."
"Brook, to what garden dost thou go?
O my brooklet cool and sweet 1"
"I go to that garden In the vale
Where all night long the nightingale
Her love-song doth repeat."
"Brook, to what fountain dost thou go?
O my brooklet cool and sweet 1"
"I go to that fountain, at whose brink
The maid that loves thee cornea to drink,
And, whenever she looks therein,
1 rise to meet her, and kiss her chin,
. Aod my joy is then complete."
Mr. Saxe contributes this sonnet:
THE VISION OF TO I FAITHFUL.
Upon the faithful In the common things
Enjoined of duty, rarest blessings wait.
A pious uun (an ancient volume brings
The legend and the lesson), while she sate
Heading some scriptures of the Sacred Word.
And marvelling much at Cheat's exceeding grace.

Whereat, she knelt, enraptured! when a bell
Signalled her hour to feed the convent's poor;
Which bumble duty done, she sought her cell,

Who, smiling, spake, "Even ao H Heaven obtained;

In his reminiscences of "Castilian Days,"
Mr. John Hay dissertates upon "Tauromaohy."
Wequote the folio wing aaoount of a bull fight:
It is hard to conceive a more brilliant
scene. The women put on their gayest
hnery for this occasion, in the warm light,
every bit of color Hashes out, every combina
tion falls naturally into its place. I am afraid
the luxuriance of hues in the dress of the fair
Iberians would be considered shocking in
Broadway, but in the vast frame and broad
light of the Plaza the effect was very brilliant.
Thousands or parti-coiored paper fans are
Bold at the ring. The favorite colors are the
national red and yellow, and the fluttering of
these broad, bright disks of color is dazzlingly
attractive, mere is a gayety of conversation,
a quick fire of repartee, shouts of recognition
and salutation, wnicn altogether make np a
bewildering confusion.
The weary young water-men soream their
snow-cold refreshment. The orange-men walk
with their gold-frieghted baskets along the
barrier, and throw their oranges with the
most marvellous skill and certainty to people
in distant boxes or oenonas. They never
miss their mark, ltey will throw over
the beads of a thousand people a dozen
oranges into the outstretched hands of
customers so swiftly that it seems like
one line of gold from the dealer to the buyer.
At length the blast oi a trampet annouane
the clearing of the ring. The idlers who
have been lounging in the arena are swept out
by the alguacue, and the hum of conversa
tion gives way to an expectant silence. When
the last loafer has reluctantly retired, the
great gate is thrown open, and the prooes-
sion of the lortrot enters. They advance in
a glittering line: first the marshals of the
day, then the picadors on horseback, then the
matadors on foot surrounded each by his quad
rille of chulos. They walk towards the box
which holds the city fathers, under whose
patronage the show is given, and formally
salute the authority. This is all very elassio
also, reoAllmg the Ave Uasar. moriturt.
eto., of the gladiators. It lacks, however,
the solemnity of the Roman salute, from
those splendid fellows who would never all
leave the arena alive. A bull-fighter is some
times killed, it is trne, but the percentage of
deadly danger is scarcely enoush to make a
spectator's heart beat, as thebedizened pro-
, 1 i f .7
cession comes nasmng oy id tne sun.
The municipal authority throws the bowing
Alguacil a key, whioh he catches in his hat,
or is hissed if he misses it. With this he un
locks the door through which the bull is to
enter. There is a bugle flourish, the door
flies open, and the bull rushes out, blind with
the staring light, tunons with rage, trembling
in every limb. This is the most intense mo
ment of the day. The glorious brute is the
target of twelve thousand pairs of eyes.
There is a silence as of death, while every
one waits to see his first movement. He is
doomed from the beginning; the curtain has
risen on a three-act tragedy, whioh will sure!
end with bis death, bnt the incidents whi
are to fill the interval are all unknown. The
minds and eyes of all that vast assem
bly know nothing for the time but the
movements of that brute. He stands
for an instant recovering his senses. He has
been shot suddenly out of the darkness into
that dazzling light. He sees around him a
Bight such as he never confronted before a
wall of living feces lit np by thousands of
staring eyes. He does not dwell long npoa
this, however; in his pride and anger he sees
a nearer enemy. The horsemen have taken
position near the gate, where they sit motion
less as burlesque statues, their long ashen
spears, iron-tipped, in rest, their wretched
nags standing blindfolded, with trembling
knees, and necks like dromedaries, not
dreaming of their near fate.
The bull rushes, with a snort, at the
nearest one. The picador holds firmly,
pointing his spear-point in the shoulder of
the brute, bometimes the bull flinches at
this sharp and sudden punishment, and the
picador, by a sudden turn to the left, gets
away unhurt. Then there is applause for the
torero and hisses for the bull. Some indig
nant amateurs go bo far as to call him oow,
and to inform him that he is the son of his
mother. But oftener he rushes in,
not caring for the spear, and
with one toss of his sharp horns tum
bles horse and rider in one heap against the
barrier and upon the sand. The capeadores,
the cloak-bearers, come flattering around and
divert the bull from his prostrate victims.
The picador is lifted to Lis feet his iron ar
mor not permitting him to rise without help
and the horse u rapidly scanned to see if
his wounds are immediately mortal. If not,
the picadore mounts again and provokes the
bull to another rush. A horse will usually
endure two or three attacks before dying.'
Sometimes a single blow from in front pierces
the heart, and the blood spouts forth in a
cataract. In this case the picador hastily
dismounts, and the bridle and saddle are
stripped in an instant from the dvmar brute.
If a bull is energetio and rapid in exeoution,
he will clear the arena in a few moments.
He rushes at one horse after another, tears
them open with his terrible "spears" ("horns"
is a word never used in the ring), and
sends them madly galloping, over the arena,
trampling out their gushing bowels as they
fly. The assistants watch their opportunity,
from time to time, to take the wounded
horses out of the ring, plug np their gaping
rents with tow, and sew them roughly up for
another sally. It is incredible to see what
these poor creatures will endure carrying
their riders at a lumbering gallop over the
ring, when their thin sides seem empty of
entrails Sometimes the bull comes npon
the dead body of a horse he has killed. The
smell of blood and the nnmoving helplessness
of the victim excite him to the highest pitch.
He gores and tramples the carcass, and tosses
it in the air with evident enjoyment, until
diverted by some living tormentor.
