The Hoy Who Wou Himself. I was going up the Mississippi in 184S, Judge Underwood of Kentucky and Henry Clay being on board. "That's a tough crew, from Natchez," remarked the clerk who came upon the deck as we were goiug below "They play hard and high." "Let's go down arid look on for awhile," said the Judge. We went down into the saloon, where we found two parties at play. At one of the tables sat four men, about whom were gathered a large number of lookers on ; and, as thse proved to be the heavy players, we'joined the group of specta tors. The game was twenty-deck poker, and the money was changing hands with sparkling rapidity. - One of the players, a middle-aged man, whose face showed but too plainly the ravages of an excess that was sapping his life, and, I after ward learned, was a cotton planter, had staked his last dollar and ''called" his opponent's hand. He held four queeos, against which were laid down four kings. And he was' "broke." He started to his feet us though he would leave the table. "Are ye dead broke, Colonel ?" asked he of the four kings. "Yes, to the last picayune." "No," replied the planter with an oath. "I can do better than that. Where's Wackman ?" "Here," answered a dark-visaged tuan. "Bring the girl and boy here that I bought at Natchez. Hold on the game just one minute, gentlemen, and I'll make a raise." The man went away, aud shortly re turned accompanied by the "girl and boy." Said "girl" proved to be a bright mulatto woman of five and-thirty, or thereabouts ; and the " boy" was her son. The bov was not far from ten years of a"e, with a face brighter in color than was his mother's ; his features really handsome. "Look here, gentlemeu," spoke the planter, risiug. "here's as likely a pair for a girl and her brat, as you can scare up. I paid eight hundred dollars for 'em. Who'll give six V "Why not put 'em up separate" asked one. " 'Twon't do to sell 'em separate. The pal has sworn that she will kill herself if her boy is sold away from her; and her old master says she'll keep ' her word. UsU don't you see the woman is worth more'n I ask for the pair ? Now, what d'ye say- who'll take 'em at six hun dred ?" i The owner then waited a few seconds without receiving an answer, and then said : "I must have the money ; bo here goes for a raffle. Twenty dollars a throw, and thirty chances for the pair. Come, gen tlemen, let us see the color of your coin. Them that buys first will throw first. Here was excitement as well as a chance for profit. The three players at the table took two chances each. Then the spectators surged up, and twenty chances were sold as fast as the planter could take the money and write dowr the names. Then came a lull. The planter himself took two chances-whereupon his three companions took each one more. Then three men in the crowd "doubled up." "Two more chances, gentlemen." Clay whispered apart to the Judge and then made his way to the table, and threw down two gold' eagles. "What name '(" "Give it to the woman." "Eh ! the gal herself ?" "Yen. Give her a chauce." "All right. One chance for Ninette !" Before the the planter could call again, Judge Underwood had placed twenty dol lars upon the table, saying as he did so : "This is for the boy.". ''Good!' cried the owner of the prop erty. "Here's a chance for Tommy. And that takes the lot. Where's the clerk ?" "Here." "Have you got blanks for this sort "of business !" "Yes." "Then won't ye fill up a bill of sale of these' two Ninette and Tommy and leave a place to put in the name of the winner ? Now for the dice, gentlemen." The dice were brought on and the shaking commenced. There were three dice, and each player was entitled to tbrea throws. Of the first ten throws, thirtv- uigness number cast. The eleventh throw turned up forty-two. Then the scores fell again till the twenty first turow, when one of the gamcsteis threw out forty-nine. " The crowd were now 11 excitement. Forty-Dine was a hard point to beat. The lowest number that could be thrown waa nine;. and the highest (nine sixes) was fiftyfour ; making what is called an average throw, about thirty ouc and one half. Of a hundred throws, the major ity will fall below thirty-two. Again the dice rattled in tho box, as the second gamester took bis turn but his throw was a low one. The twenty eighth throw belonged to the clerk of the boat who had now returned with the bill of sale. He threw foity-nine tying the gamester. -" 0 "Come, Ninette ! It's your t rfrn lhe woman started and quivered, and pressed her hand over her hSart. Onl "Shake again, Tommy," said the planter. "It's of no use, master, I can't get forty-niue." "But you've ot your own chauce, my boy." "Aye," cried the Judge. "That was your mother's chance. JVow throw for yourself throw for the chances I gave you brace up, and take hcart-r-and may heaven help you!''. That was not an assembly of religiously inclined persons, by any means; but the fervent petition of the Judge met with a warm and implusive response of "Amen" from nearly all present. Again the boy came forward and lifted the box. His lips were, slightly shut; and the old quivering of the limbs was hushed. The only sound iu that saloon, above the deep breathing of the specta tors, was the clicking of the ivory cubes. Presently tho first throw was made. "I'ive five six, are sixteen '." an nounced tho Planter, setting down the figures. i The dice were gathered up aud thrown again. "riix six and a five. Good! That's seventeen. The boy was pale as death as he took the box for the last throw, and his mother leaned against a stanchion for support. At length and the book was opened ! "Three sixes I eighteen and that's fifty-one! Tommy, my ,boy you're a trump ! Now, Mr. Clerk, fill up the bill of sale, and I'll sign it before these witnesses." The scene that followed can be better imagined than described. . The last time I heard from Judge Underwood he was alive and well, though long retired from active life. Niuette was his housekeeper, and Tommy his trusted and truthful henchman. ?r??D1DS and PS of the encine uness of the place "Will the gentleman who paid for the chance throw for me ?" she said, in a low musical tone, earnest and imploring, and f purest accent. r- ' "Letyour boy throw for you, returned "His luck should be better than mine " Tommy came forward and took the box. His mother's hands were clasped, and ZZ: v.i j ,fnovea la P'ayer. The boy trembled like an aspen. What a world of weal or woe hung upon the fickle chance ! .He neia in nis Dana tlie sealed book in which was written the fate of his mother and" himself, and it was to be opened upon the hazard of a die! He shook the box, and turned (ho dice n the table. Three aces I A moment he gazed upon the three single spots, and then, dropping the box, he sank back, jale and frightened. In a Strassburg hotel somo Algerian trailleurs officer,- sous officers and pri vates were all at breakfast, the first they I Had taken in peace tor a week. An 10 i truder came in with many bows and j begged permission to place himself at a table, ottering to pay his share, "lou don't know me, but I am neb quite a stranger to the great anuy family. Capt. Bruuet twenty-one of the line, he is j known to some of you, 1 dare say. He is ! my very dearest friend ; almost my ! I. !,.. "; vi 1 t'..t- it . but his name was a passport among the soldiers. The stranger took his cotelette, and was chattering easily with his com panions when an officer of the twenty-first came in. "Parbleu ! here is the very man to tell you all about your friend. Lieutenant, allow us to present a friend of one of yours; you know Capt. Brunct; " "What Brunet ?" "Brunet of the 21st." "No such a man in our regiment since I joined it ten years ago." The stranger was confused. His lively tone cbans;- ; ed. Some Turcos- asked the lieutenant : "Are you sure there is no such man as Capt. Brunet?" "Just as sure as that you are standing there." "Wh)', then, he must be -," aud they began to close round the stranger. "Monsieur is in my company," said the captain of tirailleurs, a solid man. ''Go on with your breakfast, sir ; shall I hand you the, cheese ? Take some of this conserve." Coffee and t-Ans.se breakfast was' over. The big tirailleur called for tLe bill and paid it. Taking the j stranger's arm, he walked out-ide on to j the sidewalk, drew his revolver, and blew t out the spy's brains. j Desperate Figut wiiii Wildcats. 1 In the beginning of the present month Messrs- J. B. Talbot, Horace Jones and Alexander Smith visited Elk county, Pennsylvania, purposely to examine a piece of land therein situated, which had been purchased by Mr. Talbot. A ter rific thuuder-storm cane up, and they were compelled to seek shelter uud r the branches of a venerable hemlock, whose moss-covcred and thick foliage gave evidence of great age. The storm soon burst upon them with fearful fury. The very air grew thick, and darkness set in. All went well till about 11 o'clock, when they heard a slight sound in the brunb, and peeriog out in the darkness they discovered two fiery eyes glaring upon tbem. They knew that a wild eat was approaching and they grasped their rifles more firmly. The fierce animal quietly, walked around the tree ' three times, as if meditating how to attack them gradually drawing nearer each time. At this critical juncture Talbot discharged his rifle directly at the animal. With a fearful screech that filled them with fear, it bounded into the brush, and when the echoes of the rifle had died away all was still, and a deeper and more impenetrable gloom settled down upon them. An hour had. probably elapsed when, to their horror, the fierv eyeballs of two more wildcats suddenly peered upon them out of the thick, murky daikness. They stood erect and grasped their arms in the attitude of charge bayonets. The animals slowly approached and scenicd intent on mischief. As they could not see to reload their arms, and as Talbot's gun was dis charged, they were compelled to exercise the greatest caution in order to make their fire effective in the event of a spring from the animals. The wild cats walked around several times, -then suddenly stopped an instant, when, quick as thought, one of them, giving a low growl, sprang at them. As luck would have it, Smith . caught it on the end of his rifle, and pulling the trigger at that moment, sent the ball through his heart. It rolled off uttering a frightful yell, and by the kicking a ltd scratching in the bushes they knew it was wounded. At the same moment they all yelled as loud as they could, which seemed to frighten the other, and it bounded into the bushes and disappear ed. They were not disturbed again dur ing the night. In the morning thev found two dead wildcats lying within" thirty feet of the tree under which they had taken shelter. Fortunately 'they took a course which brought them to a settle ment, and after recuperating they return- Captain Kidd. At the Gubernatorial election, the people of Nevada will likewise vote on the proposed amendments to the State .T t BtFikiS tho words "male" and "white" therefrom. A hegira of confidently expected to the Sage Brush Among the self-made men of olden times few were more conspicuous than Captain William Kidd, who was born in this country about the middle of the sev enteenth century, though he climate went . to here not England to die, the agreeing with him. Of William's early life but littlo is known. He is believed to have followed the sea from his youth, and the pertc uacity with which he followed a mer chant vessel in his subsequent career serves to strengthen that belief. From a simple sailor he arose to be a ship mas ter, and was knowu as one of the bold est and most successful that sailed out of the harbor of New York. He finally obtainid a commission as captain of a privateer to cruise against the pirates that were preying on British commerce. His vessel was the "Adventure Galley' of thirty guns, in which he sailed from Plymouth, England, in April, 169G. He cruised off. the American coast, frequently entering New York for the purpose of procuring enlistments. That he even then contemplated turning pirate has been urged by some of his biogra phers because he became intimate with New York City officials, closely studying their mode of operations, and was on fa miliar terras with Democratic ward poli ticians. At the City Hall, on Wall street, in the Custom House, and wherever else stealing was going on, there might Cap tain Kidd be found, considering their ways that he might become wise. With his crew increased to one hun dred and fifty men through the enlist ment of New York "repeaters," Captain Kidd set sal for the East Indies and the oast coast of Africa. He didn't have any particular luck in hunting pirates. It was too much like "set a thief to catch a thief." He began to think it was much more profitable to be a pirate than to chase one. He envied them their free and easy life, dreamed of amassing great wealth as they did, and at last spending the decline of life in some luxurions but sequestered isle of the sea, unmolested by the tax-gatherer. He only read such books as "Lafitte, the Pirate."" "The Buccaneers of the Gulf," and "The lied Avenger of the Sjanish Main," while his favorite song was "The Pirate's Bride." At length he proposed to his crew that the skull and cross bones be run up to the peak, and he found them nothing averse to the proposition. In fact, their education in New York city politics bad rendered them eager for any enterprise that promised plunder. So Kidd and his fellow kidds became pirates, aud the privateer "Adventure Galley," became a pirate ship. They had a little celebra tion over the event, the Captain reading a farewell address on resigning his posi tion as Captain of His Majesty's priva teer, and then delivering ao inaugural speech on his accession to his new com mand. The men wept bitterly over his farewell, but cheered his inaugural most lustily. They carried on both a wholesale and retail business in piracy for some time, frequently introducing among captured passengers and crews that neat thing in equilibrium entitled "walking the plank." Captain Kidd, who had a keen seusl of the ludicrous, used to stand at the gang way and hand each person a Boston crack er as he was about to walk off, with the facetious remark, ""now go and drink." The humor of the proceeding cousisted in the disparity between what they were offered to cat and what ' they got to drink. Captan Kidd buried a large portion of his treasure at the east end of Long Island, where it can be found now ; up to this day very little of it hav ing been discovered. He did. this be cause he -finally had to retire to New Jersey, and he wanted .his deposits con venient. After pursuing his piracies for some time he boldly appeared in Boston, alleg ing that he could clear himself of any charges of piracy under the provisions of the new lieense law. But the Gov ernor of Massachusetts, who appears to have had no sympathy with a young man struggling to make bis way in the world, had him arrested and sent to England for trial. Unable to convict him of piracy, they convicted him of killing one of his crew with a bucket the iron bound bucket and was hanged. Thus we have in Captain Kidd an in stance of a young man beginning life as a common sailor, and by his own genius and his own efforts rising to a higher position, his gallows being about twenty five feet in flight. Captain Kidd was noted for his atten tion to dress, and never wearing anything but Kidd-glovcs. It has been claimed that Kidd was not always his name on account of the song: "My nam is Captain Kidd,as I sailed, a I sailed." that being an intimation that his name was something else when he wasn't sail ing. The "repeaters" of New York rc grcted greatly that Kidd wasn't hung in that city so they might give biin a big funeral. A bank check just recoived at the New York Sub. Treasury has a strange history. It was originally issued to one Quarter master, and made payable to another serving among the Indians. The latter paid it away to jl. contractor, who in turn passed it to certain cattle drovers from Texas. Many months afterward, among tho enclosures to a report received at military headquarters from an officer who had been on a peace mission to .cer tain "friendly Indian's," was a dirty piece of paper, unmistakably the half of a bank check, bat not the - half which bore the date and signature. The report showed it to have been fouud in the camp of these Indians.; A subsequent report from another, officer, engaged on another friendly tnUsion to another band of Indians in a differnt s section of the country, enclosed with other vouchers of the satisfactory result of Ihe conference, the missing half of this very check. The mystery of the first half was solved. The unfortunate drovers had been attacked and killed by Indians belonging to two different bands, and, in accordance with custom, the spoils had been equally dU vided between the two bands down to the minutest articles. . - When lovers quarrel, do tbey return the kisses?

THE simplicity ami practicability of this new Plow commends it favorably to the special notice of cvory farmer. It possesses a decided superiority over all oilier plows now in use. The wheels are four feet in diameter, and run on the nnplowed laud. lis entire construction is in no way complicated. The plow is managed in every manner with ease, and r. quin s only lw lerers to be used in making any alteration. The supe riority of the "Gay" Plow w ill be clearly shown by the following certificate : We, the undersigned, citizens of Linn county, Oregon, having purchased and used upon our farms the "Gay" Plow, hereby -certify that the same has given us eutircsatixfactioti. Its facility for adjusting to suit the deplh of furrow without moving from the scat, is simple and' easy. We like the plow fur its draught, because the same Is brought to bear dim-try upon the plow-beau in stead of the carriage ; also, i-ccause it is string and durable, all except the wood-work being con structed uf wrought iron no ca-tings are used. The wheels running upon tho solid land is au ad. vantage over other gang-plows, in strikius off land and in plowing, not having to make the nec essary changes in the machinery, and the seat is always level, not thr wing tho driver forward or sideways as in other plows. Better work and more of it can be accomplished by tho use of this Plow than by hand. We take pleasure in recommending the "Gay" Plow to our brother farmers, as one having no superior in Oregon. J. G.
