Government and tho Mormons, In 1858
warming our shins beforo tho Ihiko
ilro that blazed In tho old-fashioned llro
place. Tho evening had waned, and
was fast nppproachiiij; tho small hours,
when tho footsteps of a horso approach
lui; tho liouso was heard.
Tho night was dreadfully cold and
bleak, th6 wind was howling across tho
nlknll plain, driving tho falling rain
against tho windows, causing them to
rattlo as if ftomo ono was throwing shot
against tho glass, and it was so dark,
why, "Egypt's dark sea" was not a cir
cumstance to it. I havo no idea how
dArk Egypt's dark sea was, but 1 havo
seen tho remark somewhere, and It
sounds liko a good simile, theroforo X
uso it particularly as I havo got stuck
for a better.
Suddenly tho animal halted lu front
of tho house, and a cheery voico called
out, "Halloa l
Tho landlord went to to tho door and
partially opening it, peered out into tho
darkness, but not being ablo to discover
anything, said :
"Anybody there?"
"Yes, I am; but if you will bustlo
about right cheerily I won't stay hero
very long."
"Go your way, if you want to, I am
suro I don't desiro to interfero with

"I ain't going away, not if thero's a

and am going to or havo a fight."
"1 calculate stranger, you can got ac

you aro spilin' for a fight.
"Not edzactly spilin' but somebody
will havo to superintend a funeral if I
am kept out hero much longer.
"Don't know about that; but ono
thing is sartin, jou can help yourself
come in, or stay out, jess as you feel
like. Wo ain't particular," and tho
landlord closed tho door and returned
to his seat beforo tho fire, and pulling
his Powhatan pino from his pocket.
proceeded to fill it with tobacco prepar
atory to enjoying a smoke.
A minute had scarcely elapsed beforo
the door opened, and a large, powerful
man entered. His hair hung in ringlets
down his back and clustered over his
shoulders. His face was almost hidden
behind it bushy black pair of whiskers,
and beneath a broad-brimmed hat. Ho
appioached tho fire,whilotho rain drip
ped from his buckskin garments, leav
ing1 a little rivulet upon the floor.
" 'Joying yourself here, ain't you ?'
he said, ns ho looked around and tooku
mental inventory of those present.
"Trying to bo comfortable," replied
the landlord. "Woalwnys does."
"Denied Independent, too don't
kecr 'bout Vommodntiiig anybody
either."
'Not pertickler. Got tho dead wood
on overybody. There hain't no other
lioiHo in this iiero town, and they all
has to como to mo anyhow."
"You is the landlord, I reckon. Can't
you give a fellow something to eat?
I'm as hungry as a coyote."
'Cood's gone out, and I don't think
thar Is any tiling in tho kitchen, 'copt-
ng somo cold wittles. You can go in
thoro and seo what you can find."
Tho stranger took a candlo, lit it, and
proceeded to tho kitchen, the way being
pointed out to him by tho landlord.
After ho had gone out, tho landlord
roused an Indian boy, who was sleeping
in ono corner of the room, and .sent him
out lo tako care of tho stranger's horse,
which had been left standing in front
of tho door. Somo fifteen minutes
passed away, when tho stranger re
turned from tho kitchen, followed by a
largo black cat.
'Whoso cat is that, and whero did it
come from?" asked tho landlord.
"That ar animlle b'long-s to mo, and
was brought from Now Mexico. It is a
smart eat, it Is."
"And tho ownera lucky fulIow,"broko
in a laciturn old gambler who had been
smoking his pipe all the evening, with
out uttering a word.
"You is right, old fellow; a black eat
always brings good luck, and that cat
has been my constant companion for
tlireo years. Ho's better nor a dog, nnd
just as much company. Why, ho knows
more nor a man. Don't you, Sam ?"
Tho eat Jumped upon it's master's
shoulder, aud began .to purr and arch
its back, as if It greatly pleased at tho
praUo bestowed upon it.
"I say landlord, havo you got any
chickens? I'd like to havo ono for
breakfast."
"So would I," replied tho landlord,
"but I can't get it. Thero ain't any ono
In this region as lias got chlckons, 'ccpt
ing tho Cumol of tho cavalry, opposite,
and ho keeps n guard standing over tho
stablo In which they roost,"
Tho stranger again took a survey of
tho party, aud then said :
"You look liko a good set of fellows.
Now I'll tell you what wo'll do. If you
aro agreed, wo will havo chicken for
our breakfast, and tho Curnel will suf
fer. What say you all?"
"It would bo a littlo loo dangerous to
attempt to nip them chickens," said tho
gambler, "although 1 must say I think
a piece of chicken would tivsto mighty
nico."
"Whar did you say tho chickens roos
ted?" askod tho btranger.
Tho landlord told him, and tu ho did
so the stranger stroked tho back of his
eat, anil repeated tho landlord'H words.
Having concluded, ho said, "Now Sam
you must get us ono of them chlckeiu,
ami you havo got to bo kcerful, or you
will loso ono of your lives." Ho then
opened tho tloor, and tho cat walked
out,
Tho stranger narrated several won
derful feats that had been performed by
his cat, uud thereby managed to whilo
away somo Alteon or twenty minutes,
when a scratching at tho door was
heard, Ho got up and opened It, aud
1870.
In marched Sam, holding a chicken by
tho neck.
Every ono In that room was dumb
founded, for they had no Idea that tho
cat would accomplish thcblddlngof his
master.
'Sam, ono is not enough; wo must
havo another. Bo a good fellow and
got it for us," said tho stranger, ns ho
again opened tho door for the cat to go
out.
Tho company had not been done ex
pressing their astonishment at tho
wonderful knowlcdgo of tho feline, cro
ho returned onco moro with anotlierilno
pullet.
"You aro o noble fellow, nud deserve
something, nnil blamo If you shan't
havo tho heads of both them birds. In
thu meantime, you had better lay down
in front of the ilro and dry yourself, or
you will havo tt bad cold In tho morn
ing."
Tho cat walked to the hearth corner
and quietly culled himself up and was
soon fast nslecp. Tho stealing of thu
Colonel s chickens evidently pleased the
landlord greatly, for he immediately
brought out hisjug and brewed a largo
pitcher of punch and invited us all to
partake of It. Wo drank punch, told
stories and sung songs for two or three
hours, nnd then went to bed, nnd when
wo separated, tho stranger took his eat
with him. Tho chickens weio given to
the cook, who served them up tho next
morning for breakfast, being careful to
burn tho feathers and such portions as
could not bo cooked, to prevent detec
tion, should a guard bd S3nt around for
tho purpose of hunting for tho thieves.
At tho time I write of, tho soldiers had
but recently been paid off, and every
liouso in tho town was a gambling houso
and liquor saloon, nnd three-fourths of
those In or about tho town wero gam
biers by profession. Entering ono of
these saloons the afternoon following
the eve as abovo narrated, I found tho
stranger seated behind a table, upon
which was piled several hundred dol
lars in gold and silver coin, a number
of packs of cards, and by thorn was ly
ing tho eat. I invited tho stranger to
take a drink, and ho got up and accom
panied mo to tho bar, but as ho did so,
ho said :
"Sam, keep a sharp lookout, or somo
of tho cash will be nipped."
Wo stood at tho bar somo minutes,
waiting our turn to be served, when wo
wero suddenly startled by a yell of u,
ony. Turning oround, wo observed a
soldier dancing around tho room with
the eat clinging to his band. Tho stran
ger jumped forward, and catching tho
soldier by tho throat, said :
'You have been trying to steal same
thing from my table."
"No, I haven't," was tho dogged re
ply. "You can't deceive me. What Is that
you havo in your hand. A twenty dol
lar pieco, as sure ns I live. Give it up,"
and ho took a double eagle from the sol
dier's hand, and giving him a kick, sent
him headlong into thestroet.
"It won't do to try to steal anything
from mo whilo Sam is on guard. Wo
do all tho stealing that is done, don't
we Sam,"said tho stranger, nshoturned
to the bar to obtain the think which
had been compounded for him, whilo
tho cat jumped on the table and resumed
his position lis guard over his master's
treasure.
Having taken his drink, tliOhtrangcr
resumed Ills seat behind his table, and
very quickly began to deal moiito to a
crowd who collected around him.
Several days passed away beforo I saw
thu stranger again, although I heard of
him and his cat a dozen times a day. In
fact, Sam and his tricks had become thu
topic of conversation in camp. Ho was
as faithful as a dog, and followed his
master wherever lie went. Tho dogs at
first manifested a disposition to pitch
into him, but, unliko other cats, he
would not run, and ho hail a trick of
leaping upon their backs and seizing
hold of them with Ills teeth, and reach
ing for their eyes wjtli his sharp claws.
Ho would whip tho largest dog in tho
camp in less time tlian it takes to say
Jack Robinson, and after ho had de
feated several ol tho largest and fiercest
ho was let alone and given a wido berth
by tho remainder of tho canines.
This cat was a strange fellow. Ho
would pay no attention to any ono but
Ids master, whum ho would follow like
a spaniel. Ho would suffer anybody to
to stroko his back, but It wos utterly Im
possible to get him to recognlzo any act
whatovcr. Ho was always at tho gamb
ling table, apparently acting as a "look
out," for if any one attempted to pick
up what was known among gamblers as
a "sleeper," ho would pouueo upon and
givo them a taste of tho quality of his
teeth, but if they attended to their own
moiioy, Sam was perfectly quiet.
Somo three months after tho first np
pearanco of tho gambler at tho camp,
with his cat, an awful tragedy took
place. Tho gambler had been having a
reniarkablo run of good luck, and had
won somowliero between twenty-fivo
and thirty thousand dollars, This lie
had changed from coin into demands
on the United States Treasury, for con
venience, and declared that ho was go
ing to leave tho country. Times were
getting dull. Tho soldiers had spentall
tho money they had, and It had gradu
ally found Us way into tho hands of a
few persons, nnd they were not going to
run tho risk of losing it nttho gambling
tabic; tnereiore, tho gamblers wero
having rough times, and ono by one,
thoy wero leaving and seeking other re
gions. Tho owner of tho catnnnounced
his Intention of going to Plko's Peak,
whero thero was n prospect of lively
times, as tho immigrants to t ho mines
wero beginning to arrive.
Ho hail kept perfectly sober during
his stay at tho camp, but now that ho
was reatly to taku ids departure, ho got
to drinking, and kept on a spree for
several days. During this thno ho bo
came excessively quarrolsomo, and on
soveral occasions had drawn his pistol
and fired at persons, but had not hit
any ono. Quito a feeling of Indignation
against him had been aroused, and dark
throats of lynching wero heard from
various quarters.
Thoro lived at tho camp a wagon
master named Hurry Price, who wu a

quiet, penccnblo man, beloved by all
who wns never known to engago In n
quarrel. Ho wont lo tho stranger, told
him of thofecllng that had been aroused
nnd ndviscd him to bo moro circumspect
In his conduct. Instead of taking the
ndvlco In tho spirit It was given, the
gombler, without a word, drew ills pis
tol nntl shot Prico through tho heart,
causing instant death.
And now comes tho strangest part of
this etrango story. Tho moment ho
fired his pistol and poor Prico fell, tho
cat Jumped upon Its master's shoulders,
and seized him by.tlie throat with lit
teetli. In vain ho struggled to throw It
off; It clung to him with llio tenacity of
a bull-dog, and did not release its hold
until Its master had raised ills pistol and
blown its head to pieces.
Tho greatest excitement followed the
murderer. Tho murderer tried to es
cape, but tho crowd, summoned by tho
reportof the pistol, collected too quickly
and ho was captured. In less time than
jt takes to narrate it, the excited crowd
had procured a ropo, placed it around
the neck of the miserable man, and
swung him to tho end of a wagon
tongue, which was elevated for that
purpose.
Legal Advice.
A Gentleman ordered a suit of clothes
from n tailor, nnd specially enjoined
him that they must be made by the
next Tuesday, and must be made In the
finest style, and that unless tho tailor
could havo them ready to a certainty
beyond peradventtiro to tho day, that
ho must not undertake them; but Snip
promised faithfully that they would bo
finished. Tuesday eatno and no clothes;
the enraged man Hew to the eabbago

"What's the reason my clothes are not
ready as you promised ? Here you've
kept mo in tho city nta losof timoand
busiuess only to disappoint me; now, if
we had you in our part of the couutry,
I tell you what they would call you:

Tho humble knight of tho goose ex
plained that tho only competent work
man that he had,capab!eof making tho
suit, had n wife lying ut dentil's door,
and ho could not possibly leavo her,
Tho outraged gentleman was nut able to
smother his disappointment, and bera
ted the tailor pretty soundly for falling
in his positive promise. Tho ninth
fraction of the "genus homo" could not
.stand this, and ; l.iinly told his custom
er to go to tlie c. .uric regions of Pande
monium. The customer, red witli rage, rushed
across the sheet lo a lawyer, and In au
excited and hurried manner, said :
'Do you know, Snip, tho tailor acro-s
tbo way ?"
"Yes, I know him," answered Brief.
"Well, now, I want your advice,"
said tho gentleman ; "I want to know
what you would doln such a case. That
old stitch iotiso has kept mo hero in tiio
city ou oxiien.se, to tho great detriment
of my business nnd disappointed mo in
a suit of clothes; but when I went to re
monstrate with the fellowabout it.what
do you suppose ho said lo me? He told
mo to go to the dovil I"
Witli theso words he laid down a ten

sir, what would you do?"
"Do you mean tlih for n retainer?"
nsked Brief.
"I do," was tho reply.
"Then," said Brlef.quietly folding up
the i mi and putting it intr. bis posket,
"be :oId you to go to tho devil. Well.
my opinion and advice to you is, don't
do it. There is moi cover, no statute or
loc id law that can compel you to a spe

until called by Almighty power."
.1 Toiif-lilng- incident.
The world is full of mournful inci
dents. How little do wo know of tho
poignant sorrow myriads of our fellow
creatures are compelled to suffer. The
following touching event wo tako from
a Boston journal:
An expressman upon reaching his
office early ono cold morning in January,
observed on tho sidewalk, a long heavy
box, which his practiced eye at once
identified as containing a corpse. Upon
ono end of tiio box, shivering with tho
cold, sat n halfclad boy about seven or
eight years old. Addressing him kind
ly, ho said :
"My lad, don't sit there, you will
freeze ; como in and sit by the stove.''
Bursting into tear-, tho littlo Tellow
replied, "No, I can't como In ; my
mother is in thi boy, and I prom-ed
her 1 would never leave her until we
got home."
Deeply affected with the touching de
votion of tills bravo littlo fellow, ho
finally succeeded in convincing him of
tho entiro safety of his precious charge,
and taking him over lo n neighboring
restaurant, gave him n warmbreokfast,
aud learned tho particulars of his story.
His father died about u year previously,
in n remote village in Minnesota, leav
ing Ills mother in poor health and near
ly destitute. Sho died but a few days
beforo the boy's sad journey, charging
tho littlo hero with the duty of convey
ing her remains to her friends in a dis
tant State, and furnishing him with (alt
sho had) u sum of inonoy barely sufll
den t to carry them both by freight cars
to their destination. Tho littlo fellow
had actually ridden night and day in
a freight car with Ids melancholy trust,
never for a moment losing bight of It.
A Man In Ohio recently killed 15,7s 1

They say they don't object to a snako

Ho has had masters famous In their lino
ond can fence, and fib, and cut, and dub
with tho best or them. Every morning
ho arises from his chasto couch, and
whilo yet in his night clothes, that
leaves his senatorial legs exposed, and
Ills senatorial muscles of tho arm free,
for an hour ho dances around a sack of
bran suspended from tho ceiling, hit
ting It right nnd left with great force,
rapidity, nnd precision. After this a
couple of stout fellows rub tho Senator
down witli crash towels and horso brush
es. This tremendous athlete of tho
fogbank thou descends to raw steak nud
porter. This fearful gladiator of tho
fcenato is very fond of inviting any
friend who may call upon him to a lit
tlo trial with the gloves, and then amus
ing himself by administering dubi on
thu nose and in tho eyes, or of upsetting
his friends entirely. My friend .Tones,
a warm admirer of the curley pitted law
maker, bad this Invitation to stand up
and bo punished until ho found it somo
what fatiguing. So ono day lie intro
duced ids friend Prico. When invited
to put on tho gloves, ns usual, he declin
ed, but recommended his friend Price.
Price was also reluctant, but consented,
l'hu Senator very kindly gavo Prico
somo instruction us to tho position and
modo of striking out.
"Now hit me," cried tho Ronator,
dancing around Price. "I fear 1 shall
hurt you," said Price. "Never miud
me," continued tho Senator, giving
Prico a stinger on tho nose. "Well,
look out," snorted Price, very red in
the fate.
The Senator tried to get ono in oi
Price's peepers, when his arm was sud
denly thrown up In an extraordinary
manner. Prico had caught It tho most
awkward way and gavo itsuch a wrench
that Conkey thought for a moment his
arm wns gone. Whilo looking for it ho
got n most infernal whack between his
eyes. Tho Senatorial beauty threw up
ids arms and stumbling back, folbover
a lounge, leaving nothing vislblo but

Ilecclici-'s Shot at a Squirrel.
Henry Ward Bcccher, In a star paper
on "Chipmunks" In the Christian
Union, tells this story of himself:
The first that I overtired ngun, it was
nt a "chippy," and I did not lilt him.
My father it was who let me trot behind
him, n seven or eight year old, whilo he
hunted the fields. How my nerves
screwed up when ho took nim, and
what a crash in my over-sensitivo ear
was tho report ! It was always painful,
and always an irresistible fascination.
And so one day returning home, out
ran n bold ehipmonk, and coursed along
:lio wall with trailing tall, then mount
i I.' n stone, tail cocked up, ho said,
ilit me, hit me, hit mo, he, he, ho!"
' 1 lore, Henry, do you want to shoot ?"
"Yes, sir no yes, I do." "Get behind
me lit the gun lest on Iny shoulder
now take aim come, pull the trigger
or he'll be off."
I shut up ono eyo in a manner that
carried tlie other witli it. Iopenedboth.
The tears came. Tho squirrel seemed
six or seven squirrels whirling round
in theuir. 1 took aim, but it would not
stay aimed. Somehow I saw tho sky,
thostono wall, a great mullen stalk,
the squirrel, mid twenty other things,
all in a jig. Bang went tho gun. "Chig-ger-ree-reo"
went tho squirrel us ho
dived down, laughing, into a hole.
Well, I've seen many a minister do
tho samo thing with n sermon, and feel
as sati-llcd as 1 did. To bo suro I bad
not hit any tiling, but I had mado a
splendid noise.
