TRUTHFUL JAMES.
BY F. BRET HARTE
L _—
I reside at Table Mouutain, and my name is Truthfal
James
I am not up to small deceit, or suy sioful games
And I'll tell in simple langnage what know about the
row
That broke up our society upou Lhe Stanislau.
But first woald remark that it is not a proper plan
For anv scientific Zent to whale his fellow-man,
And, if a member don't agree with his pecnlinr whim,
To lay for that same member for to “put a head™ on
him.
Now nothing conld be finer or more beautiful see
Than the first six months’ prurrrlflu-:h of that same
socieiy,
Till Brown of Calveras broazht a lot of feesil bones,
That he found within a tunnel near the tenement of
Jones.
Then Brown he read a paper, and he re-constructed
there,
From those same bones, an animal that was extremely
e
And Joues then asked the chair fur 4 suspenision of the
rules,
Till he could prove that those same bones was one of
his lost mules.
Then Brown he smiled a bitter smile, and said his
greatest faglt
Was that he had been trespassiag on Jones's family
vaulr:
He was a most sarcastic man, this quiet Mr. Brown,
And on several occasions he had cleaned out the town.
Now hold it is not decent for any scientific gent
To say another is an ass—at least to all intent
Nor should an individual who happens to be meant
Reply by heaving rocks at him to any great extent.
Then Abner Dean of Angel's raised 8 point of order—
when
A chunk of old red sandstone took him in the abdomen,
And e smiled Kind of sickly smile, and curled up on
the floor,
And the sabsequent proceedings interested him no
o
Then, in less time than write it, every member did
engmge
Ina \ur:.uf with the remnants of a palezoic age,
And the way they heaved those fossils in their anger
was s,
And the skall of an old mammoth caved the head of
Thompson iu.
And this is all I have to say of these improper games,
For 1 1 e at Table Mountsin, snd my namc is Truthful
James;
And Uve told in simple lnguace what know about
the row
That broke up our socigty upon the Stanislaa.

Au envious Chicago paper sayvs Bret
Harte is about to publish a new poem,
ealled “The Outlaw of Chelera Gulch.”
It will relate how the outlaw, a rude
hut benevolent man, poisoned his bene
factor, and carried off his two daughters
fur wives how he smote one of those
wives with a stick until she inconsider
ately died, and then expended for whis
key the money she had left for a coffin
how he disposcd of the other one to the
Piegans for a pumpkin-colored horse
how he extinguished that horse’s eves
with a hot poker, becanse he got beaten
ina race 3 and how he was finally caught
up by an angel one Saturday afternoon
and translated to heaven, where he* re
ceived a erown of glory.

Two Birs oF INFORMATION.—Sir
Walter Scott, in his days of law practice,
once defended a housebreaker at Jed

thanked him for his exertions, and said
he was sorry he could not give him a

mation First, that a yelping terrier
inside a house was better protection
than a big dog outside and sccondly,
that no loek so bothered a houscbrenker

snoring. Just then there came several
very loud rolls of thunder, and, desist
ing from her attempt, she resigned her.

A doctor lately informed his friends

Jackson in 1832, and imm«liatrll fol

Senate, he ealled upon Old Hickory
with a fair English Ld_\'. whom he de

found Ge: Jackson unshaved, unkempt.

feet om the fender before a blazing
wood fire, smoking a corn-cob pipe ol
the old Southern sehool. He stated his
objeet, when the General said he would
be very glad to meet the handsome ac
naintance of the new bachelor Senator.
glr. Buchanan was always careful of his
persoual appearance, and in some re
spects was a sort of masculine Miss
Fribble, addicted to spotless cravats and
huge collars rather proud of a small
foot for a man of his large stature, and

would call “a very good figure.”
Having just returned from a visit to
the fashionable continental cireles, af
ter two vears of thorongh interconrse
with the etiquette of one of the stateli
o<t courts of Earope, he was somewhat
shoeked at the idea of the President
meeting the eminent English lady in
stich a guise, and \'cntumf to ask if he
did not intend to change his attire;
whereupon the old warrior rose, with
his long pipe in his hand, and, deliber
atelv knocking the ashes out of the
bowl, swid to his friend “Buchanan, 1

which I hope you will remember. 1
knew a man once who made his fortune
by attending to his own business. Tell
the lady I will see her presently.” The
man who became President in 1856 was
fond of saying that this remark of An
drew Jackson humiliated him more
than any rehuke he had ever received.
He walked down stairs to me:t his
fair charge, and in a very short time
President Jackson enterad the room,
dressed in a full suit of black, cleanly
shaved, with his stubborn white hair
tforced back from his remarkable face,
and, advancing to the very beautiful
Britisher, saluted her with a most King-

she exclaimed to her escort, “Your re
