AN ANTELOPE'S MIGHTY LEAPS.
Vxpleal Tarn of the Champion Urn or
the Mining Reaiou.
In one of the old mining towns of thus
part of California, away up on the slope
uf the Sierra Neradas, there lived sev
eral years ago, during the active work
ing of the hydraulic mines, a celebrated
character whose modesty, as be still
Uvea in the land of the living, forbids
my giving his name. His justly cele
brated fame arose from his remarkable
power of narration. He could take any
trivial occurrence that happened in town,
drees It up in such glowing colors and
throw so many vivid sidelights upon It
that not even the participants them
selves could recognize it G. B. un
doubtedly wore for years the belt as
champion liar of that mining region, and
one of his stories, that 1 happened to
hear him relate, I think is worth pre
serving. I will let him tell it in his own
words:
"It was in the spring of '50 that a
train of sixty-five on us started across
the plains for Cauforoy, The most on
us were young men an' able to rough It,
but we had three famblies, with about a
dozen young nua among ns, an' ons baby
was born on the way, Wal, of course,
fresh meat soon got mighty sense, as
there was so many trains on the trail
ahead on us that all the game had been
killed or seairt away. The young mother
she kept kind o' pindlin like after her
kid was born and got sick o' bacon an'
sioh like, an' the young fellers that had
houses o' their own to ride, there being
half a dozen on 'em in our train, used to
scour out on the plains for fresh meat
for her.
"One day three on us got arter a
couple o' antelope early in the morula'
wheu our bosses was fresh, an' we jest
took after 'em, a yellin' like Conianchee
jest to see 'em run. There was a couple
o' hills on the plain that stood esprit,
with about twenty rods o' ground be
tween 'em at the fur end, and the crit
ters made a break to go between 'cm,
We was coinin' on nrtur 'em like we
meant to catch 'em, when they see that
this open place between the hills had
grown up with tail chupparraL
"Now un antelope won't run up a hill,
nor into thick hresh if he knows it, so
they stopped till we got a'uiont np to
'em, an' one mi 'em tried to ran back by
us, but one o' the boys stopped him with
a charge of buckshot. The other one,
seein' what an almighty tight place he'd
got into, jest made for the brash an'
tried to jump over it. Wal, sirs, he
made the all flmleat jump as ever I mo";
but when the critter gut up into the air
he send lie hadn't jumped far enough,
an' I'm a liar If he didn't gather him
self in the air auT gin another o' the
most tromonjous liumps that any critter
ever did make, au' jest went a-euilin'
right on over the hresh an' landed on
t'other side on't slick and clean!" Cor,

It was a Parisian who hit upon the
novel idea of a dotectivo camera. Ha
made a small camera, which he con
cealed in his bat. A shutter in front '
was so cleverly arrauged that the joint
could not be seen. At first, he used wet
plutes, but he soon saw"cli8advaiitage
he was laboring under,- About that time
the lightning dry plates were put on the
market and the Frenchman's hopes rose
high. He could take his hat anywhere
with him, and no one, at a glance, would
suspect its double purpose. Placed on a
table facing the person to be taken, the
little button at the back could be pressed
and the exposure made. In some re
spects the hat camera waa immeasurably
superior to the toys now on the market.
