Tbe Man from Solano thanked the

He was silent until he reached the
lobby, and tbon he said, as if renew
ing a previous conversation: "Sbeis
a mighty peart girl that's so. She's
just my kind and will make a etavio'
good wife."
I thought I saw danger' ahead for
tbe Man from Solano, so I hastened to
tell him, he was beset by Attentions,
that she could have ber"-. pick aod
choice of tbe best of society, and fi
nally, that she was, most probably,
engaged to Dashboard.
"That's so," he said, quietly,

He pulled out his watch. It was
such & gjaring sham, so obviously
bogus, that my eyes were fascinated
by it. "You're looking at that

"Watch and chain are not worth

"Are they worth fifteen?" he ask
ed gravely.
"Possibly."
"Then I reckon it's a fair trade
Ye see, I told 'em I was a Californi
an from Solano and hadn't anything
about me of greenbacks. I had three
slugs with me. Ye remember them
slogs? (I did; the "slug" was a
"token" issued in early days a hex

fifty dollars.'
"Well, I handed tbem that and

I began to understand tbe Mao
from Solano, aod said it was. He
returned his watch to bis pocket,
toyed playfully with tbe cbaio, and
remarked: "kinder makes a man look
fashionable and wealthy, don't it?"
I agreed with him. "But what

of warning, but I remembeied bis

A few days after I met him on

there for a week."
"And you talked with her about

"Xo," he said senous'y : "she gave
me a commission to buy some stocks
for her. You see,' I guess them

Somehow the story got out Tbe
Man from Solano as a butt became
more popular than ever, and of coarse
received invitations to burlesque re
ceptions, and naturally met a great
many people ' whom otherwise be
would not bave seen.' It was ob
served also tbat his $700 was steadi

getting on in his business. ' Certain
Californian stocks which I had seen
quietly interred in the old days in the

began to respect, or suspect, tbe Man
from Solano. At last suspicion cul
minated with this accident :
He bad long expressed a wish to
belong to a certain "fash'n'ble" club,
and with a view of burlesque be was
invited to visit the club, where a
series of ridiculous entertainments
were given bim, winding np with a

overheard two or three members
talking excitedly. ,

H. B. Johns, of Greeley, in a letter
gives the following particulars abont
hit recent trip to the Black nillt
country and experience therein : We
had bat three pleASAOt days from
Greeley to Custer City, and part of
tbo time it seemed Almost impossible
to keep from freezing. But tbe night
we passed Alkali Springs, nearly two
hundred miles from Cheyenne, was
tbe roughest we foand on the entire
trip. ; it is a bleak, desolate place on
tbe r pen prairie no wood, no shel
ter, and tbe hills nil covered with
snow. We camped here About tbree
o'clock io tbe afternoon, And an hour
Afterward a cold storm came np from
tbe north, driving tbe snow in every
direction, sending it in drifts in the
corral we bad formed with our wagons
until it was ten inches deep on our
beds. Tbe next morning the ther
mometer stood 23 degress below zero,
sod as the stage came Along tbe pass
engers were to glad too avail them
selves of tbe handful of fire we bad
to keep from freezing. Xearly all of us
froze our fingers And ears, while Geo. !
Barnes froze one of bis feet quite bad
ly while in bed, but was not aware
of it until next morning. The next
day tbe storm continued nntil we
reached Alum Springs, when it clear
ed up, but it was awful cold, every
breath freezing our whiskers. Tbe
snow continued getting deeper until
we reached Custer in many places
it drilled so badly tbat we tad to
shovel our way tbrou-h. At Pleas
ant Valley, nine miles from Custer, I
bad tbe mislortuae to lose a horse.
He got loose in tbe night, polled
fifty pound sack of flour out of tbe
wagoo, and at 7 o'clock tbe next
evening he "passed in bis checks."
We reached Custer the 23d of Janu
ary, in good health, and with appe
tites that were ruinous to a hotel
keeper. Here we lelt onr wagons
and built us sleds out of pine, loaded
for other parties at Dead wood, and
stored our goods. We took 2,500
pounds to a sled, at four cents per
pound, but would bave done better
bad we taken 500 instead of 2,500,
for tbe roads were horrible.
We were six days getting to Dead
wood, acd our teams looked as
though they bad been drawn through
a knothole. Alter discharging our
freight we drove np to the Buffalo
Corral, kept by two Greeley ites, Jobn
Harris ana n imam Lynn, who are
in good spirits and doing welL About
a month aeo they bought tbe place
tbey now occupy for $300, and tbey
were offered 2,200 for tbe place, in
my presence, a few days ago. The
next day was spent in looking
around. We went np Deadwood
Creek to Gayville, South Bend, Cen
iral, Golden Gate and Gold Run,
finding tbe miners all buy in wash

with good results. Two miles of

the young men who sold these ledges
were not worth a dollar

of less importance have also been

His first feat as a ventriloquist was

Tbe doctor, scalpel in band, bad
made an incision in the body of a

It is impossible to give more than
a few of tbe many anecdotes which
Signor Biliz himself has left of bis
long life and varied experience.
Meeting Paganini, the violinst dur
ing a visit to Glasgow, aa infant's cry
came from within tbe great Italian s
fiddle.
"My God !" said Paganini, ' what
is this ?"
"Yoa know whose child it is," said
a femalo voice from a neighboring
close L Tbe excited musician rush
ed to tbe closet, thence back to his
violin, and then turned round to see
Signor Biltz laughing and to receive
his explanation.
An Egyptian mummy was present
ed by the American Consul at Cairo
to a Philadelphia museum. A crowd
was one day about tbe case, and was
startled by a voice from amid the
multitudinous linen folds.
"Open the box! open the box V said
tbe voice.
"Who are yoa ?" asked one visi
tor, more venturesome than tbe rest.
"I'm a descendent of the Pba
roabs," answered the voice.
"What do yoa want?"
"Ask yourself. Your confoanded
Yankee curiosity has waked me up
from the sleep of ages. Open tbe
box !"
"What's your name ?"
"Signor Blitz," answered tbe voice.
and tbe great ventriloquist made
himself known.
The Signor while in Xova Scotia
was approached by an old orange
woman with a basket cf delicious
fruit He bought an orange for a
sixpence, and cutting it in half drew
from the center a golden sovereign.
This performance was repeated with
another orange, the old woman look
ed on with amazement He was
abont to take a third from ber basket,
when she snatched it awav and vow
ed be should have no more sovereigns
for a sixpence.
Introduced to a very solemn cler
gyman in Hartford, Conn., tbat gen
tleman abruptly denounced tbe big
nor for performances which were
"dangerous to tbe welfare of man
kind," and much more of tbe same
sort. Interrupting him. the Signor
plucked a pack of playing-cards from
the pocket of bis ministerial coat Dd
withdrew a dice-box and dice from
his clerical hat Signor B!itz was
troubled no more with orthodox ob
jections from tbe gentleman.
In tbe old sixth street Market,
Philadelphia, he bought a dozes eggs
fo 21 cents from a stolid Dutchman.
Clear as wasser mit a well-bucket,

banded tbem over.
Tbe Signor broke one and there
came peeping through the aperture,
first a feathered head and then a
whole canary bird, which sang sweet
ly to the man of eggs.
Tbe signor s lun making propen
sity seems to have been irresistible,
and found expression in all manner of
startling ways and places. He made
a negro cry out from within his trubk
on one occasion, and came near being
arrested as an abolitionist. He made i
his horse talk, and tbe frightened
hostler could not be induced to re
enter the stable. So tbe Signor was
himself compelled to groom the ani
mal. His favorite report seems to
have been in the market-places, where
be gave voice to chickens aod pigs
and nab and even oysters, to ice great
confusion of the market people. But

President bat a perfect right to select

tbe charred remains of your remem

bands. It will cultivate y n wa-ted
fields ; it will rebuild your towns ami
cities ; It will Gil year coffers with
gold : it will educate your children ;
it will swell the sails of your com

to clamber aod climb over the broken
cannon of war ; it will flood the cab

tbe weak in more than coats of mail,
and wrap the poor and lowly in meas

will forgive if tbe South will forget.
Take it; the negro will wipe from

and tbe star of hope heralds again

An Omaha livery-stable keeper
owned a fine lot of coach dogs. Tbee
dog are white wuh black spots all
over them, aod are noted for their
docile, not to say cowardly disposi
tions. Tbe dogs belonging to the liv
ery -stable keeper, were beeet on all
occasions by tbe other dogs in the
street and as tbey were meek in
spirit were as easily overcome as a
lot of sheep. The livery-stable man
stood this as long as he could, when
one day he found a large wbite bull
dog, ami it immediately occurred to
bim what to do. He bought tbe dog,
took him to the stable, and there kept
bim until he got thoroughly acquaint
ed with the coach dogs. Tbe bull-dog
was sent to tbe barber shop, and
black spots put on him, to that be
looked like a veritable eoacb-dog
with a somewhat short nose and
elongated lower jaw. The next time
tbe carriage was sent out this model
coach dog went along, and the street
dogs "went for him," thinking they
would have their usual sport and
victory ; but in this they were mis
taken. Tbe bull-dog raced them a
good deal more than bait way ; and
be made tbe bair and bark fly terri
bly. Since that time the coach dogs
have been left aloce.

A correspondent in Xew York
State writes : The inquiry is made
by those wco begin to appreciate the
question of "Free Trade" and "Tar
iffs," whence came tbe name and sys
tem of tariff duties as a mode of tax
ation. If our reading is right it is as
follows : Some time during the Sar
acen war3 in the eighth r ninth cen
tury, an Arab Sheik or Moorish
prince, whose name was "Tariff,"
came over from Africa at the Straits
of Gibraltar, and landed his army
on a point of land a few mi!es east of
tbe Syaits, in tbe Mediterranean, in
euch force that be bad eommand of
the Straits, and aoffered to ships to
pass wittoot levying tribute upon
tbem. It was before tho discovery
of America, and of course was a
very important point in tbe commer
cial world, and all understood that
no ship could pass without paying
tribute to "Mr. -Tariff." Tbe cape
or point still has the name "Tarila"
Such, as we understand it, was tbe
origin of the name and the system.
Historv does not inform as whether
the duties be levied were specific or
ad valorem ; the probability is that
