UoW Cbarley May "Won bis Wife.
"You ask me to give you my daughter
for your wih Senor Carlos you, a "iankee
and a sailor I Have you thought what that
means P Mercedes is my only child, and
the heir to twenty league of laud and ten
thoi&audJiead of cattle and horses! And
with you lor a husband what - could you
do? You know about ships, but not ot
our life or our business. You can not ride
or use the lasso.. You would be the laugh
ing stock ot every ranchero and vaquero in
California, and I utwl my daughter would
be despised ! Ko, Senor Carlos, my daugh
ter must marry a man that is able to hold
his own in the saddle against any one to
care for the cattle hiinselt. I won her
mother by being th5 best horseman in the
country, and no man shall take my place
its owner of this ranch and cattle and hors
es with Mercedes for Ins wife, except in
the same way." r
"Do you mean; Senor Valderez, that If
I can liold my own against your California
horsemen, that you will consent to-our
marriage?"
"Yes if you can hold vonr own."
"How long before the trial?"
"Name your own time."
"May I take a moment with Mercedes?"
"Yes."
They went out together. Mercedes' ad
vice was to go to Manuel, the best vaquero
In all California, and put himself in his
hands for instruction; to come in one year,
at the next rodero the annual gathering
and branding ot cattle and claim and win
her, as she knew lie would.
They went back together to the old
ranchero, and Charley said :
'If I come back at the next rotlero and
prove myself as good a horseman as any
Califoruian there, will you give me Mer
cedes for my wife?"
"Yes, Senor Carlos, I will give you Mer
cedes for wife and the whole charge of the
ranche; and when I die I will give you the
whole lor your own. Mercedes loyes you.
and I would make her happy. But, Senor,
her husbaud must be a man that anions;
Ills neighbors will command respect. I
will give out so that every one shall know,
and all that wish shall have a trial. The
best horseman among the young men at
the next rodero shall have, my consent to
my danghtei s hand. You will not win
her easily, tor there are other suitors." .
"She Is worth all the trouble, and I will
win ber or die ! So, Senor, look for me in
one year."
"Senor Carlos, my house is always open
to you, and Mercedes will always welcome
you whenever you come. And she will be
happier if yon call sometimes."
"But I shall be titry miles away !"
'And what is fifty miles to a California
horseman? An afternoon ride, no more.
Drop In at any time and see the girl; and
others will come, and why not you?"
Mercedes whispered a 'moment with her
father, when he said :
"Mercedes wants to make you a present.
The men are about to break a colt for her,
and she wishes to give him to you. He i
the best colt on my ranch. If you will ac
cept him. as soon as he lias been handled I
will send him to you."
"Accept hint 1 of course and I will try
and do justice to him and ride him at the
rxfero."
The adleux were said, and Charley left
for Manners ranch. '' '
Our hero was, as Senor Valderez said, a
Yankee and a sailor, a Xew England boy
that hud tired of the humdrum life of the
village where be was born, and had run
away jyid shipped on a whaler; and when
the ship, after three year in the Pacific
had tilled up and was about to return,
Charley May had sold out his sliarc of the
catch, and left her at San Diego. He cut
a sorry figure among the Californiaus as a
horseman, but his handsome face and man
ly ways had made hini many Iriends and
won Mercedes' love.
A year had passed, and the rodero was at
hand. The cattle hail been driven in. as
sorted, the young ones branded, and every
thing was ready for tlie trial of skill.'
There was a great gathering of the ranch
ero with their families. They came from
everv direction, as the fame of the beauty
of Mercedes had gone to all parts of Cali
fornia, and thi; Valderez ranch, with its
thousands of cattle and horses, was a prize
worth contending tor.
The old Calitoruian laughed at the idea
that a Gringo, (a term ot contempt for a
foreigner) should hope to win .the girl, and
prophesied he would get his uecx broke in
sport..
The gremid was cleared In trout of the
house, and then three judges chosen, all old
ranclieros, to decide the question of superi
ority. ' i
A herald gave out the terms: "That
the young man who should prove to be the
best horseman would have the consent of
the father to win Mercedes and if she re
fused him. he was to accept one thousand
head of cattle and two hundred horses."
The latter portion was hailed with cheers
and the waving of the senoritas' refroWs and
mantillas.
The contestants were to ri1e up ami g'ivi
tneir naiuea to the judges. To the surprise
ot all there were but six. five native Cali
foruians and Charley May. Each of the
five were the known champions where they
lived. So they actually represented the
whole of Califonda.
Tlie first U give his name was Jose Ka
mou a tall, fine looking fellow, dressed in
a blue cloth jacket, trimmed with a gilt
cord, blue pants, open from the knee down,
showing his white drawers, richly embroid
ered boots of yellow leather, .and crowned
with the wide brimmed brown sombrero.
His spurs, bit. buckles, and ornaments on
saddle and bridle, were of solid silver. His
horse was jet black, and, altogether, Jose
was the bean-ideal of a Call torn ia horse
man. The second was a larger and more pow
erful man, very dark, w ith a heavy beard
and long hair. He was dressed as Jose,
but in richer material, with two or three
gilt cords upon the seams of his jacket, and
the buttons upon his jacket and pants were
ot gold. His bridle and saddle were loaded
with silver ornaments. He gave his name
as luan Rodrigo, and spoke as if the prize
was already in his hands.
As he rode back to his place, some of tlie
senoritas said :
"Black Juan will get tlie cattle and
horses, but never Mercedes." .
He was said to be the best horseman in
the country, and in all contests, he had al
ways won. But he was known to be cruel,
treaclierous and overliearlng.' ? ' ?
The otlicr three young men rode up. gave
their names, but as it was expected that
the only chance for the prize lay between
Jose and Black Juan, they attracted little
attention.
Charley gave his name. He was dressed
in a blue sailor suit, with a white Panama
hat; heavy, steel spurs; a plain, strong
saddle without ornament. He backed his
horse to his place as. with raised hat. he
saluted bU friends, aud was received with
the cheers of some and the derision of oth
ers. The ladies were out spoken in their
wish for his success. Charley's blue eyes
and light-brown hair were very taking
among tlie brunettes. Tlie horse he rode
was Mercedes's present, and be was second
to nono there.
The contest began by a coin placed upon
cue ground, ana was picKea up oy eacn in
their turn, as they rode by at full speed,

AlMssowas laid lengthwise upon the ground.

ping his bridle, coiled the lasso neatly, as
it fell, whirled it up a second time, aud
kept it from the ground.
Jose gave him his hand, as he came back,
but Black .luan scowled, and muttered
something to himself, not comsdiraentnry
to Charley.
A lasso was then fastened In a tree with
the noose jut above the horseman's heads.
Jose rode at full speed, and putting his
hand through tlie noose, soit fastened about
bis wrist, stopped his hotse in time so us to
keep his saddle. .
Juan did the same: The first of the three
others missed tlie noose. The second put
his hand into if, but failed to stop his hr -se,
and was pulled out of the saddle upon the
rump of his horse, while the third one was
left dangling by the arm In the nir. Chnr
ley was successful, and was greeted with
cheers. : - . t . ,
A post had been set in front of the house,
and Jose rode out, nid, as he came to the
post, placed his right hand upon it. and,
without stopping his horse, rode around it
twice, keeping his band on the top.
Juan did the same. The three others did
the same,- but at so slow a pace as not to lie
counted. :-. Charley, putting spurs to his
horse, rode nt full ;peed. Placing his right
hand ujion the post, he rode once around,
when, bringing his horse upon its haunch-,
es. he wheeled htm,' and putting his left
hand upon the post, he made two turns
about it. and then, riding back part way.
he dashed toward the post, and as ne came
alongside ot it upon the right hand side.!
stopped his horse by a single motion of the
rein, and with two backward jumps, and
two forward ones, passed the post upon the
left hand side, mid rode buck to his place.
Cheers followed from every one except
Black Juan. Jose tried it aud failed. -J nan
tried it aud failed, after punishing his horse'
fearfully. The otlier tlireo shook their
heads and did not try it.
Jose said : "Senor Carlos, 1 1m ve led and
you have followed, and your lead we can
not follow. You must lead now. -
"Very well; thanks to you, Jose." " ;
-. You won't thank any one. Gringo, when
I get hold of your hand by and-by," said
Juan, with a scowl.
I take all ciiances and ask no odds,
Senor Juan." answered Charley.
Charley called for another horse, and
taking oil' his spurs and hat, mounted call
in?; old Man no 1 to go to the post.
Every one was surprised to see Manuel
fasten one end of a heavy lasso to the bot
tom of the post and take the coil in his
hand.
Charley rode past him twice, as the horse
was restive, and 'then, goijig back, called.
"Ready!" to Manuel, and. putting hi3
horse on a run. rode by. As he came on,
Manuel threw the lasso aud caught the
horse by the fore-legs, and us the lasso
tightened, the horse was thrown end over
end, and Charley, clearing himself trom
the falling hor-e. alighted upon his feet on
the run and did not fall.
Cheer after cheer followed; Senor Val
derez's was the loudest. .
"He is a horseman ! I never saw that be
fore. Where did he lenrn that?"
Jose pressed Charley's hand, aud refused
to have his neck broke.
Black Juan said : "I will try it, if I
break my neck."
Taking another horse, he rode out, and
Manuel said:
"His own friend nmt throw the lasso."
Juan cal.eil one. and he took",! he lasso.
. Juai- pet spurs to his horse and dashed
out. As the Ia.-so caught the horce'n fore
legs he went over, and Juan with him.
He had neglected to take off his spurs and
they had caught, aud horse aud rider lay
together.
Juan was picked up badly shaken, but
not seriously injured. The look he gave
Charley as he mounted his horse again
j-howetl all that his tail was to be revenged
if possible.
Tlie oilier thre refused to fry the fall.
Juan against the wishes of his friends
rode out and challenged for a trial to see
which could pull the other out of the sad
dle. One of the young men joined him, and
they each took the other by the wrist, and
putting their horses on a run. Juan turned
his horse sharply away, and the young man
was pulled from his saddle.
A second one rode out, and the same :
thing was repeated.
Jose then took his place. It was plain
to every one that Juan's blood was up, aud
he meant mishief.
In this sport it was the rule that the i -stant
the defeated man was out of his sad
dle th.tt. the other should stop his horse.
One of the judges warned Juan. His re
ply was :
I have hid my jacket dusted ; let the
others look out for theirs."'
Jose aud Juan joined liands aud at once
Juan struck spurs to his horse and wheeled
oft"; but Jose followed. They tried all the
tricks that each knew, and for five minutes
neither got the better. Juan was much
the stronger man, but Jose made up in skill
what he lacked in strength.
At last, as they were close together. Juan
drove his spur Into the XLink of Jose's horse,
aud stopped his own by a powerful pi.!! iip-
on the hit, and Jo?e was dragged from his
saddle over the rump of his horse. Juan,
as Jose touched the ground, put spurs to
his horse, and dragged him for several rods
before pulling up.
By the time his horse had stopped, Char- '
ley was by his side.
'"Take my arm. Senor Juan, a?id I will
try and put you where you have so meanly
had my friend."
Charley's eye-flashed, and by the firm
closing of his lips nil saw that the struggle
of the day was sit hand. . '
Juan laughed as they took hold, and both
horses sprang off together. Juan tried to
catch his spur into Charley's horse's flank,
and failed. Every trick he knew was tried,
but of no avail.
"Look out. Senor Juan ; I am about to
dirty your handsome suit !"
And, almost with the words, Charley's
horse stopped,' and making one backward
jump, sprang forward again upon the other
side of Juan's, and Juan was whirled out of
his saddle mid flung to the ground.
'1 will not drug you, as it is unmanly,"
said Charley, as he stopped his horse aud
set Juan ou his feet.
As lie did so, Juan drew his knife, but
before he could use it Charley let him have
it with his right hand full in the face, and
Juan measured his length upon the ground.
As he fell, Charley spring from his horse,
and with a kick upon, the. arm that held the
knife, Juan's finger relaxed, and the arm
fell to bis side, broken and useless.
They were instantly surrounded by their
friends and Juan was carried off to tie
cared for by a etirgeou.
Charley mounted his horse, and as he
did so Jose and the three other contestants
dropping in behind him, followed him to
the judges. -
"He is tbe conqueror and we have no
claim to the prize," &id they all.
Cheers followed chee.'s as Senor Valderez
led the blushing Mercedes to Ctutrley'0
side. -'..-;."
"You have won her tairly, my son. If
I had been younger. I would have like to
have tried one fall with you; but we okl
ones must give way to the young.'
Tbe wedding that followed must be left
to your imagination, kind reader.

Tbe Old Flint loclt.
The Richmond (Va.) TFAf of a recent
date has tbe following :
- An elderly man named BeCkwith, resid
ing in one of the Peninsula . counties came
to this city last Thursday on business. He
brought, with him an old-fashioned flint
lock rifle to have a lock and stock put on.
Ou the cars he fell iuto conversation with a
party of three gentlemen from this city,
when one of them, to test the reality, of
some of the extraordinary feats of marks
manship he boasted of. offered him $10 to
lepeat some of them, to which tlie othei
two added $3 between tliein. The trial
came off in an .bid field half a mile below
Rocketts, and tvas witnessed by about a
dozen iiersons. . -
( The old flint-lock was fired eten times
aud only once missed its aim. The old
gentleman, after making twohotsat small
objects, to one side, to get his hand steady,
as he sakl. handed his son a potatoe and
stationed him at fifty yards distance, hold
ing the potatoe between his thumb and
forefinger. The rifle (.-racked, and the po
tatoe fell cloven in three or four pieces.
One of the larger pieces was then thrown
in the air, and again the shot told. An
inch and a half auger was then procured
and a hole bored In the fence, behind which
was fastened a piece of white pa-ier. At
a distance ot sixty yards the marksman
Fent a ball clear through the aperture,
piercing the paper. At the fourth shot
from sixty yards, the bowl of a pipe which
the soil was smoking was crushed. At the
fifth shot a copper cent was thrown iu the
air and hit.
The sixth and seventh shots were at
l)lackenid five cent tiickles thrown tip by
the sou. standing about thirty yards off.
At the first attempt the shot missed. The
old gentleman showed considerable mortifi
cation, and laid the blame upon a bystand
er who at the critical moment sneezed
loudly. The. next attempt, however, was
an entire success. The old may, declined
any further trials of his skill, and when
offered a sum ot money to repeat the feat
ot shooting a potatoe from his sou's hand,
he refused; saying tie didn't care to try such
experiments unless his weapon was freshly
cleaned. The exhibition was the, more re
markable fioin the tact that the marksman
was nil old man, at least fifty. His eye."
however, is a clear, bright gray. His -pearunee
Is that of a poor farmer. -The
young man showed not the least tremor or
anxiety during the dangerous experiments
upon himself.' The old iiiati, referring to
his son, said, "Bob can shoot just as well
as I cau."

which is said to have won the favorable
opinion of several very prominent persons,

which to stop leaks If such slion.d occur.
Schroeder projioses to do postal service,
and will also carry fourteen passengers at

scheme for adequate fulfillment to be made.
The balloon is to weigh '2.800 xmuris. aud

Twenty-three specimens, of carp have
Iven placet! in the breeding-ponds at Druid
Park Hil! Baltimore, from the waters of
the Danube. This fish inhabits the fre.h
water streams of central aud northern Eu
rope. It is of a golden olive color, with
darker flns. It, lives to a great, age and is
extremely prolific, its weight varying from
one to eighteen pounds, and it is in season
from October to April. These, were the
favorite fish of the monks in the middle
ages. It is said they fattened their fish as
they did their imultry. giving them the
same tid-bits they gave their choristers for
improving their voices. General Lafayette
tcok great interest in the carp at the Cas
tle of Ee Grange, and could identify certain
patriarchs of tlie tribe in his moat as easi
ly as he could any horse in his stables.
Some of these aged carp counted more than
sixty years, and were carefully preserved
as breeders. They need excellent and jh?
culiar cooking, "with a sauce," says the
Turf, Field awl Farm, "of that supe'rlative
excellence which miglil induce as a French
man observes, a hungry man to cat his
graf.yo'her."
Wild Boy in Texas. The Austin
(Texas) fitHtetman says: A gentleman ar
rived from Marcus yesterday, ami brought
the news of the capture of a wild boy a tew
miles from that place. The boy was first
discovered wallowing in a pond of shallow
water, and when approached he broke like
a quarter-horse, running about, a mile
before he could be overtaken by men on
ponies. Riding up near, the" boy ivas
lassoed, when a fierce contest ensued, the
trange being striking, kicking and lung
ing about in the most fearful manner.' aud
apparently being fright ued almost to death.
Finallv he was overpowered, tied, and
taken to the house of they man who first
discovered him. His body was covered
with hair aliont four inches long, aud from
appearances he is supposed to be about

Someoftiiechurche3in this country are in
troducing uufermented wine to take the
place, -of . fermeuttd. commonly used for
church purposes. ..The Journal uf Applied
Chemistry describes tlie method of the man
ufacture as follows: In onler to p retire
It the grapes should be allowed to thorough
ly ripen. They aretheii picked and all
green and rotten grades removed. The
grapes are then emslied.and pressed in the
usual manner. The juice may be first con
centrated somewaht by boiling. and then
bottled; in either cae tlie bottles are put
iu hot wat(T and brought to the boiling
point, where they are maintained for half
an hour. At the end of this time remove
them from the fire and cork tighciv. while
still hot. In wiring the corks. Then replace
them and continue tlie boiling another
hour. Glass bottles are better .for this pnr
ixse than tin cans, though the latter may
be used."
George Washington couldn't tell a He,
and that's what ails tlie average Vlckshnrg
boy. Tne other day,, when one ot them
accidentally broke a pane of glass In a store
wiudow.lt was touching to see hi tu walk
Into the store and up to ihe merchant and
say : "Mr. Blank, I broke a pane of glass
in the window there, and you can - chargo
it to the old man's account! Put Ic down
as a pound of saleratus, and he'll never
know the difference !"
Two countrymen went into a hatter's to
buy cue of them, a hat. They were deligh
ted witli - the sample, inside the crown of
which was. a " looking-glass. What's that
foi?" said one of the men. The other, im
patient at such a display of rural ignorance
exclaimed, "What for? i Why, for tlie man
who buys the hat to see how it fits bun."
