FIGIITINU FOR A SHANTY. An Lpisotle of Life hi DeadtTood City A Son of tne Emerald Isle Endeav ors to Smoke Oat a Daughter of A Trie J, bat Fails. For once the negro has triumphed over his Caucasien brother. The des cendants of Ham are generally credit ed with being possessed of far less en durance than the other members of the great human family, but Tim IIus sey swears by the bones of St. Patrick and every Milesian saint, past, present and future, that the "infernal nagur" is impervious to smoke. For some time past Tim has contested the right of occupancy of a small shanty on Lee street with an ebony-hued matron named Julia Francis. Like his ances tors in Ireland, Mr. Ilussey is fond of the law, and be appealed t tin courts for his "roighU," as he termed them. The point at issue was a knotty one and the sapient Judge eu the bench was iu a quandary how to act. Tim swore positively that every "board iu the Ilussey -mansion was iudia j. utubly his, while the lady, with becoming modetsy, told the Judge that Tim was an unmitigated liar, and that the edi fice was the result of her dear depart ed's labors, tnd belonged unqestion ably to his relief. Ireland produced his wituesses, and Africa stoutly main tained her position by the . production of an equal number of hard swearers to those produced by the other side. The Judge, like many otiiers in the land, when unable to arrive at any de finite conclusion from the testimony, decided to reserve his decision in hopes that something would turn up to help him out of the dilKeulty. This result, as is invariably 'the case, displeased all parties. Tim, however, with genu ine Melidean ingenuity, was equal to emergency. Marching boldly to the coveted spot, he quietly took posses sion of the shanty, and barricaded the door against all intruders. A few hours later, the enemy made their ap pearance, headed by the indomitable Julia. Their disgust can be imagined wiien they found Tim iu possession, aud grinning through the one window the shanty possessed, the picture of happiness and content at the success of his maneuver. Upon discovering the state oi anairs, Julias party re tired to await events, but with the wisdom of a Iloadicea, the lady posted pickets around the disputed fortress, and completely invested tiie velorous Tim. For a time everything went well with tho besieged. The news of the conflict had traveled far and wide, and excited Deadwooders crowded from all parts to see the fun. No attempt was made to interfere, although bets were freely offered and taken as to which of the two forces would be ultimately successful. Julia soon became the fa vorite, at long odds, when it was as certained the valorous Tim had thrown himself into the fortress without tak ing the precaution of providing a stock of provisions t withstand a long siegt. A few hours passed, and there were unmistakably rigns that something was wrong with the garrison. Tim was continually beckonirg to friends in the crowd to come to the windows, but with a magnanimity that did them , credit they refused to abandon the neutral position they had assumed from the start. At last Tim could stand it no longer, and chalking the words "I am hungry on a board, lis held the board in full view of the spectators. Thi3 argument proved too powerful to be resisted, and two of Tim's friends, ignoring the protesta tions of Julia's videttes, advanced to the relief of the bleagueied forces. Tim's demands were few and simple, lie gave his friends a silver half dol lar, and urged them in piteous accents to hurry back with as many crackers and as large an amount of cheese as they could purchase for the money. They started, but, unfortunately for Tim, called iu on their way to the store at a saloon where a game of "freeze-outj' was iu progress, and in a few moments Tim's half dollar went the way of many otiiers. He waited long and anxiously, but the supplies failed to arrive. Ou the following morning the spectators were early on hand, and business in Dead wood seem ed almost suspended. Tim was early at the window and seemed to be suffer ing intensely was ravenous. He urg ed his friends to come to his relief, bus no one budged an inch. At last, becoming desperate, he determined to make a sail', and, carefully locking the ioor, he rushed wildly fottli in search of supplies. This was Julia's opportunity. Tier friends crowded around her, two team sters and four horses were hastily im pressed intu her service, and in a twink ling the ebony-colored female was hoisted through the window, and prep arations immediately made to remove the shanty to Sherman street, to a lot owned by Mrs. Francis. .While the col ored brigade was at work Mr. Ilussey returned, and swore and stamped like a madman on "taking in" the situation. It was Julia's turn now to look through the window, and Tim was compelled to endure the mortification of witness ing his hated rival in possession, and adding insult to injury by extending her fingers in such a position that her most prominent facial adornment re ceived au addition that was certainly not originally intended by nature. The crowd roared, and Tim was furious. The air became perfectly blue, but the lady kei t her fingers extended, and her mouth threatened to absorb her entire face. At length Tim espied a lot of pitch pine shavings lying near. Here was an opportunity. Seizing these, he plied them around the door and set Ore to them. The smoke soon filled every nook and cranny of the .little house, but Julia was equal to the emergency. Throwing herself upon the ground she yelled to Tim to keep up his smoke, for "it pleased him and didn't hurt her." "Her voice was plainly heard above the laughter and cheers of the spectators as she hurled the choicest epithets ia the colored vocabulary at the devoted head of the gallant son of the Emerald Isle, who was cvughing aud sneeziug and wiping his eyes on the ut8ide. The situation proved too much for him. Realizing the fact that Julia had conquered, he gave up the contest in despair and retired, bitterly exclaiming: "liegorra, I'd rather at tempt to smoke out a dozen Irishmen than one blasted nagur!" The victorious Julia was greeted with a rousing cheer as she appeared at the door when the burning shavings had been kicked aside, and to-day the shauty Mtands securely on the Francis lot in Sherman street. The prevailing feeling in the Ilussey family just now is that "the nagtirs must go." SlLYKU CLIFF. Rich Strikes In the New Cauips near Kosila, which are G rowing Richer. Aoout eigne miles irom iiosita, a camp long Known co me mining an nals of Colorado, a comparatively new camp has been established whicli be gins already to attiact great attention ; it is called the Silver Cliff. Near it is another, rich in mineral, called Round Top Mountain. Enormous "blow-outs have been discovered iu both places, and a great rush has set iu from all di rections. The "blow-out" is neither a fissure nor a gash vein, but has the ap pearance of a great mound of burned ashes. These "ashes" contain a large percentage of.horn silver. Carefully assorted ore from either f these mines yields as high as 2,000 ouncts of silver to the ton, and runs, in most instances. from $50 to $350 to the ton. One mine, the Cliff Lde, was sold for 3100,000 shortly after its discovery. There is thought t be $8,000,000 or $10,000,000 in sight in the various mines in this vicinity, and the work of development continues. RATTLESNAKE MOTJXTAIK. About two and a half miles south east of Silver Cliff lies what is known as Rattlesnake Mountain. N partic ular location in the district has more prospects with flattering indications than this knoll or upheaval. It is here that the wealthy Galveston Mining Company are digging their tunnel and preparing to erect a large stamp mill. On this mountain Ed Silk and CSus Bach have twenty-seven claims, with the assessment work done on each Numerous assays haye been made from each and all of these claims, and none have ever shown less than eleven ozs. of silver. rosita. . A big strike in gold was made in the vicinity of Rosita, on Friday, January 9th, in the well known Bottom Dollar lode, a heavy body of tellurium having been encountered, which runs thirty ounces in geld. The Bull Domingo is the big nrthe at present in this region shaft 2 down 67 feet 6 inches; cross-drift 53 feet, all ore; gallery 64 feet, all ore. The block of ore in sight is 63 feet 6 inches x 57 feet x 64 feet 249,888 cubic feet of ore. Thirty cubic feet of this ore make one ton , hence, there are 8,329 tons of ore in sight and open for extraction, worth $150 per ton at least, according to previous mill runs, or $1,249,440 value in sight. About $2,000 worth of ore is daily taken over to the sampling works of Silver Cliff from the Bassick mine, near Iiosita, and,-after being crushed and made ready for shipment, it is transported to Omaha, when it is re duced and refned. Reply to Mctteer's Ware-house Plan Weepixg Water, Neb., March, 1880. Ed. Herald: In answer to a com munication in your paper from U. Met teer in regard to building a general granery in Plattsmouth each one own ing and controlling his own bin or bins. All very well. I have talked to sever al of my neighbors about it aud find the general opinion is that it will have to be built with money raised by sub scription just as wfe did the Eight mile grove Baptist church and eventually end as the church matter did, viz: by litigation, and the surplus funds, if any there is, be usd to build a wind mill and barn. If the people could see an honest intention and also see that it would better their condition, and the stockholders and general mana gers all strictly honest men then we think it might do, but we must be sat isfied it is not gotten up for a chance to defraud and swindle.

Here's how it is : I often go to Springfield on the evening and come home ou the first train in the morning. Well, one night I met an old crony, and we went to Music Hall and the theater. When we came out we met some friends. Of course I could not get right out. so I treated; in fact, we were having a pretty good time, when some fellows came in and began to raise a row.

A reporter recently obscrviug quite I crowd gathered about a negro boy in tc car-shed, approached and inquired the cause of the excitement. Hedis lovered that the boy was a musical prodigy on a very unique scalo. By placing his right hand over his right ear, nnd partially opening his month, this boy gave the exact imitation of the musical tones of the Scottish bag pipe, playing many airs with perfect accuracy. The music seemed to como from i lie boy's head, and many peopld were attracted to the spot, thinkincr Jiat the bag-pipes were giving forth their rich, mild melody. The boy was very accommodating, and played many airs, gliding with case from the gay to tho grave For instance, he played "Dixie" with great spirit and rapid ity, and then, in tho slowest and most mournful cadences, gavo "Streams of Mercy Never Ceasing." His name is Alonzo Barnes, and he hails from Eastham. He is only 18 years cf ngc, and says that he found out by accident, about "three years ago, that his head was full of bag-pi pes, and has been vi-nptipmrr minii flinm nvpr filiirA. lift said thatTie could play any tuno t; at was whistled, whereupon some one In the crowd suggested that he give some thing from "Pinafore." He had never heard of the piece, he said, but called upon man after man in the group to whist lo it for him. but not one seemed equal to the task. All admitted that they had once heard it, but so long ago that it was difficult to recall. The boy holds nothing at all in his month, but simply places his right hand over his right ear, and, without the slight est effort, starts his bag-pipes tho Lord only knows how, the boy can't explain it. He is a living wonder, and would- be a feature upon any stage. Keeping the Boys on the Farm. Iu an extended argument as to the desirability of farmers' sons sticking to the farm, the Cincinnati Commer cial observes that there is a feature in this matter of sons following the call ing of their fathers that is not mi in dent ly regarded. "The calling of the father may riso to a higher dignity when tho tons adopt the business, thoroughly leant it, and zealously and proudly pursue it. Then the accumulated reputation, capital, and business of the parent can I e inherited and xu'csenred by . tho sons. "Again, it is a law of nature that hclds good in all the animal kingdom, that aptness for any business maybe inherited, or may bo bred, as we say of stock. Tho great desideratum in t'r , loping a race of trotters is to in sure an aptness to trot. And this comes not from stock that has habit ually been used for the draught or chase or race course. If the dam trots and the sire trots we do not expect the offspring to be a running horwj. "The old Spartans understood this law of developing an aptness for a given calling in the children. Tho Germans of olden times developed a race of warriors on the same principle. "The law of heredity is so broad and so powerful in its influence that it ex tends not only to color and form ofj our race, but it extends to the temper ament and even to tho tastes. Tho taste,' though like the muscle and reas oning faculties, may be improved by education. Still the taste for and apt ness for any calling may be increased from generation to generation. "Then, if we are to reach the high est development as a race of farmers, we must expect it through the line of descent. The son must inherit the fitness of the father, and take up tho calling and business where he left off, and his son after him, and so on. When this shall become the custom in our farming families, then shall wo see greater stability in society rnda higher type of civilization. Every parent has the chief power to bring this work about. The very independ ence of the farmer's life is to be tho germ which develops a race that can not be other than an independent peo ple. Our nation is to achieve its great ness iu the development of agriculture. Its power at home and abroad is to be established and held through the arts of husbandry, practiced by a skillful and virtuous race of farmers. All that can be done by the state or family to ennoble nnd to dignify tho calling, and to entail its blessings and influence from father to son, will add to tha stability and grandeur of the nation.'
