"Scaling afco^" stubborn people ?Ivrays reminds mo pi poor Seth Cox of Indian Gulch/' said an old pioneer from M^n^ county. * "P'r'aps, though/' he added, glancing aroimd aqairkglv, >^ fellows never ?heard of hun." \ withered old miner from Neva da* county hinted that "mebbe he tras related to) the Bill Coxwim was ??aed at Be I Dog in 1861/'\ , This the AiaripOEo m)m deputed on thc grounfl that Seth during his lifetime was too 'square a man to nave even boejn a thirty-eighth cous in to the chajj who had como to such m iijiiomini?u? end cit &?d Dog. ?\Vhv, ano,'? ho went onV turning front the Nevada man to the four other bystanders;. "?efch WQB as gquarc a man aa I over met in Cali fornia. He would fight if necessary and would drink as much aa the next man, and what more was want ed in those dav?? ? "But that ain't what I was going to tell you about. You eoe, Seth had one fault, and that .waa stubborn ness of the cussedest kind.^ AU one nad to do was to take a stand on anything, and Seth would as nat-i nrallv take a hitch on the contrary ?de and outhold your hand, some how, even jf yotl had all trumps. "Seth was marshal of Indian Gulch, up our way, as far back as 1862, and, being so, stubborn, he carried things pretty much his own vay. If th?y didn't go, his way, they were not likely to go any way. "Now, sho, just to give ?you an idea of how stubborn Seth was lil tell you of s. little., incident. He noa a discussion. *?Hh a miner about turkey buzzards, and just because the miner said they; were stinking things Seth maintain sd that they were second to nothing in the poul try line. Well, tho miner thought he'd take a fall out of Seth and the nest day brought him a turkey buz zard and dared him to eat it--yes, wagered ],?m $20 on it. Did ho win ? Why, sho I . "Seth ate the buzzard, and as he was picking the bones inquired if there was anybody eke around who was anxious to pay him for eating one of the most delicious morsels in the world. That was Seih ail over. He'd never give in on anything he undertook, sho t" And the Maripo sa man refilled his glass. "One day,", he resumed briskly jost as the Nevada man was about to say something, "a new miner, who said he hailed from Chinese Camp, ambled into th j) Gulch and made himself quito popular before night, treating everybody time and again at Bea Byan's saloon. Aa Marshal Se^h thought it his duty to make the acquaintance of the strange pilgrim who was so well heeled apparently with dust, it was not long before Seth and the new comer, who said his name was Dan Fletcher, were bucking against each ether at poker. "Now, sho, that was all right, birt Dan, while they were playing, began io tell how he had made tb? pilgrim age all the woy from Pool ?boat to Angels and cleaned out every poker sharp on tho road. Seth in his bull headed way said he reckoned if he had met Dan on that journey Dian would have had to take to tho wil derness for want of clothes, he would have been so cleaned out. "Then there woe a hurricane of ia argument, and finally Seth boast ed that he'd put everything ho had np against all Dan had and play poker until ono or t'other was bust ed. Dan jumped at the offer? and arrangements were made. . "The game' was to be played in a room at John' Hansen's hotel; and each man's wealth , wea represented ny twenty-five twenty dollar pieces, which they used as chips.Seth, as marshal, proclaimed a^ holiday in town until ho had cleaned Dan cut, gen he promised a big Lurrah. The whole town ,was gathered around nansen's place, and afc intervals of ?a hour sighs were hung out as to the game. One time it weald he geth is a hun?^ed ?Kead^nd at au pther 'Even game, with Dan's'ante 9' There was lots of betting on ae result. Bed Byan wagered his Moon against a claim that Seth jould win. And, sho, all the time ?th and Dan sat there flipping heir cards like machines and not loticing anything outside of the fame. "About 10 o'clock that night Dan Gis out $300, and when some of tho . ys took up sapper for tho players -for they hadn't eaten anything, ou knowr-he growled out to take s away, as no man could play cards Jd eat ?jut?rink too. Seth wac so [unborn that he wouldn't etoo ci ter, for\ feagan ;wouid think he ^ weakening.- Tho boys set down ie supper and left 'cm. Ia the jorning breakfast v*i3 put down longsido the untouched ? supper. U they wanted w?,?* half a dozen ev decks of cards. They had worn QJ four packs. Sho, no mi?t?ra^ ?ell, now*, there's no uso <; f out th? agony on a th ^ed oufc ?a serious as that game. J anybody'at Indian Gulch can j1* you to this ^ay; Seth and Dan *yect there for live days rights, a-fi ccsawhig ona ii ;*rog, but eich as stubborn os tho her and deterrained not to give in. Qey hadn't touched the meals we, ?k up to 'cm, and they hadn't slept "ter. You may say it's impossible, lt just go tc Indian Gulch, and ? can provo it. The two men *e Uko ekeletoniMi?d Seth was sa .weak that lie could? ?ot deal tEe cards and swea? at the same time. "On the evening of tho fifth ?av some of us boys met at Byan's and decided in the interest of htUBanity to interfere and rn&ke Seth and Dan quit until they got into condition. But; sho, when we went np in the morning they wero both stretched ,out on the floor dead-yes, sir?e, dead.. JS?cp; had live (jarda in his aasid; and Seih was clutching his last $20 as if ho had "Just been call ing Dan when ho rolled over. 'And he'd 'a* won, too !' howled Byan as he looked at the hands. TheniByan wanted the match de clared ip favor of Seth, but tho boys wouldn't have it. Bets were de clared off and the game called a draw. Seth and Dan had used up sixtyrseven packs of .cards, and their golden chips were worn as smooth as gloss. "Wo buried 'em. ?ide by side that day, hut now comes tho strongest part of tho whole thing, and to show, you what stubborn critters they werer-that night there was a light in the room where they had been playing, and as sure as? I'm [ here there sat Dan and 6eth as nat ural as life, a-flipping their cards ! ??d tossing their chips "by the light ol the'ghostly candle. Maybe tney didn't have that, whole hotel to I themselves! Sho, I guess they did! Nobody fd go nigh it. Hansen went around crying almost and saying he didn't seo why two stubborn ga loots couldn't stay where they were planted instead of corning to haunt an honest manchonse and ruin his "business. But nothing seemed to interfere with the game. Every night for a week Seth and Dan sat up playing, while the whole Gulch gazed at the light in the window and shivered and swapped ghost stories. At last Byan one night said he had a mind to see how the game s?ood, and he climbed up to naen in the window. Just as ne din so we saw a flash of light shoot across the room, and three minutes afterward Hansen's place was in a.blaze.?. "Byan said tnat as he looked in the window Seth had caught Dan cheating and had thrown the candle at him. The place was burned to the ground, and Indian Gulch felt relieved to think that the ghosts were gone." , "I should say so," gasped one of tho auditors. "But sho as I'm here, gentlemen, there was a bluish Maze seen around the ashes of the burned building the very next night, and there, Seth and Dan, looking as if they were I made of chalk, were observed sitting on a pile of rocks that had been Hansen's 'chimney flipping 'their cards as lively as ever. "This was too much, and Indian Gulch was scared in good earnest. But some of us got together and de cided that Seth and Dan must go. We dug 'em up and carted 'em five miles up a canyon and there buried 'em. we never saw them again in Indian Gulch, but soon afterward some prospectors came down from the hills and said that they-had seen two ghosts sitting under a tree and playing. But, sho, gentlemen, Where are y ou going ?" T?o shriyclcd old miner from 3S*e vada turned .as he followed the nth _rs in their hasty exit. "I did think," he said, ?you'? have the decency to let them two cusses, rest in their graves, but if you're going to yank 'em all over the country, why, go it alone." And the Mariposa man was left alone.. <eWell/ sho, I'm duraed," mutter ed the narrator of Seth Cox's ad ventures.

THE PUNGENT CLOVE, ita PM In .Cookery and the Medicinal Properties of Its Oil. The clove ia a well and widdy fcnown spice of which millions of. pounds are marketed and consumed ?very year. In cookery it is employ ed either by itself br combined with other spices u> innumerable sweet preparations, such os cakes, pies, preserves, puddings, sauces, cordials and candies. As it is very pungent/ care must fte taken not to use it too freely. It is a valuable addition to the flavor and keeping qualities of both sweet and sour pickles. ' It is excellent also for the flavoring of certain meat dishes, as croquettes, boned and pressed fowl, etc. The baked or boiled ham, after the rind has been taken off, acquires a much enjoyed flavor from the cloves with which it is the custom of some cooks to dot the surface. The medicinal properties of cloves are similar to those of allspice and cinnamon, and the oil, emulsified or diluted in some way, is said to be: an excellent and quickly acting rem edy for nausea and stomach cramps, and it is generally prescribed ive j toothache. Where\?;r it can ue con* veniently employed this oil is an ex cellent antieeptic and preventive of molds and mildews and is also, to some extent, a repellent of insects. The clove, from the French clou, a nail, is the flower bud of a tall and beautiful evergreen of the myr tle family distinguished botanically as Oaryophyllus aromatious. The elongate part is the tube of the ca lyx, while the four parted head is externally the four sepals inclosing the rounded corolla, the dividions of which are united at their tips and cover the clustered stamens, also ar ranged in groups of four. ' By soak ing,clo ves for a time in warm water all these parts may be unfolded for examination. The> blossoms, when allowed to develop, aro deep crim son, arranged in clusters and of a most entrancing fragrance, and, re lieved by the profuse dark green, pointed, oval leaves, are very snowy. The succeeding fruit resembles a email olive in form and when ripe is bright red or purple. x he clove tree is a native of the Moluccas, but is grown throughout the East Indian archipelago, in some parts of. Africa and of the Wost Indies, where it is highly es teemed as an ornamental evergreen, as well as for its choice product. In preparation for market the buds are carefully picked while still green and slowly dried in the smoke Of wood fires until ^hey assume she brown color of the familiar spice. The ripe fruit is also, to some ex tent, dried and prepared for use and is sold as "mother of cloves/' ss are also the fruit stalks, but neither of these compares in pungency and aroma to the flower buds.--St Louis Bepublic. vj_ - Days Chosen by 8utcldeo. Years ago the great apostle of pessimism noticed that June was the favorite month for marrying and committing 'euicids?- As he thought ! one was about as bad as the other, it f ? seems evident that he believes one cause would account for the fre quency of both occurrences in "the month of leaves and roses." Wheth er such is the fact or riot, it is cer tain that there are generally more suicides in June than during any other month of the year, and few-of them are committed on rainy or what are known as dark and un pleasant days. The Fourth of July, Thanksgiv ing day, ChrisLnas and Kew xear? day, as well aa t?ie evenings preced ing them, are alto favorite times ?or committing suicide. .To these may be added the anniversary of ono's birtl) or irmrriage,~-Exehange. Puritanical Treatment of Boya. In Miss Earle's book, ' ibo Sab bath In Puritan New England," a story is told of Dr. Dakin hearing a noise while he was praying in a church at Quincy. Tho minister opened his eyes to discover the cause and saw a red haired hoy ; clutching the roiling on tho front edge of the gallery, while a vener able deacon clutched the boy. * At last the balustrade gave way and boy and deacon fell with a crash. The deacon then led the boy out of the meeting house and swishing sounds/accompanied by wails, were soon heard from the region of the horse shed. Tho Number Two.

Washington, March 2G.~Advices ree?i vc? et the Mexican embassy hero tell of the recent importation to tbst country from tho United States of 100 negroes who will be employed along the line of the Vera Croa and Paoifio railrotd. This move is experimental and is being watched with considera ble interest. If successful resolta ensue, it is Said that large importa? ilona from the southern States will follow in tho effort to solve the present problem.of finding laborers in Moxioo who are alike competent and willing to work. To an Alabama, negro named MoKel vin is given the credit for inducing members of his race to emigrate to Mexico. MoKelvin was .at one time employed on a large Alabama planta tion, but later went to Mexico, where he claims to have found better wages. He returned to Alabama and distrib uted large oiroulars among the negroes telling of the advantages of'the Mexi can country and of the opportunities it offered young negroes who wanted ?o?kin the country. His oiroulars also contained SB an inducement the asauranoe that the negroes would not be eubjeot to the order of "white trash.." This last feature apparently proved a drawing card, for MoKelvin had no trcublo in persuading 100 ne groes to return to Mexioo with him, where be found work for them st (1.50 a day. Most of thia first importation have been employed on the La Junta plantation of George 0. Sanborn. So far the negroes-, it is said, sro quite satisfied and are in turn proving satisfactory to their employers. Mo Kelvin has made the claim that he will be able to induce a million of his race now in the Soothers States-to emigrate to Mexico, and several rail road contractors sre endeavoring to ar range with him to return to the btates and osnvass the south for laborers. MoKelvin, it is understood, will make a return trip within the next few months.-Special to the State. Tho Hst Was Shot. "I was out in Montana last Tall," said a Pittsburg man, "and one day I rode into a email town and saw a stranger parading around with' a silk hat on. Five minutes after I had caught sight of him a cowboy opened fire on that hst frome distance of about two hundred feet. Six bullets were fired, but the tender foot never turned, nor let on that ho heard the shooting. "In ten seconds the gun w*? reload ed and there was another fusilado. There were a hundred people looking i ou and shouting and laughing, but the i tenderfoot kept his back to the shooter until the twelfth shot had been fired. Then he calmly turned about, removed his hat and pla-. ;d it on the ground, and stepping back a rod or two he ! drew hie gun and shot it to pieces. I The remains were yet smoking when j he picked them up, crossed the square ! and holding the handful of old hat out to the cowboy humbly said: "If you have a couple of months to 1 aparo, I might be willing to teach you how to handle a gun."

And Donny's not got home' yet? That's quare-unloss something has happoned to him." "What would happen him?" Mrs. BioOarthy asked anxiously. "There's plenty of things oan hap pen a man," said Larry delicately. "He might havo got hurled or he might have tool, sink with the fever. But there's on? comfort, as Father MoGinnia said ouce, and that is that time heals iv'ry grief." "What do you mean, Mr. O'Brien?" **I mane that if anything happened to Denny you wouldn't io ci- as bad about it a few months after it happen ed as you would right at the time, would you?" "I auppose not," said Mrs. MoCar thy. "I mind whin I lost me first husband. I thought I'd never get over it. But, as you say, in a few months it was aisier to bear." "Then, Mrs. McCarthy you'll be glad to know that it's now four months-nesrly five-since Denny died. Sure, it can't grieve you now SB much as it would if you known it at the time." -.
