SATURDAY MORNING AUG. 22.
Saratoga “Saw.”
Says the Virginia City Enterprise:
“Hank Monk, the stage-driver, who
gave Horace Greely his memorabl*
mountain ride, in common with all hi
tribe, hates the sight of the
ponderous architecture in the in
trunk line, known as the “Saratoga
band-box.” He likes a ‘Saratoga’ about
as well as a cat likes hot soup. He
now drives on the stage line between
Carson City and Lake Tahoe. He was
driving on the same line last summer.
A Virginia lady who was stopping at
The Glenbroke House had a ‘Saratoga’
at Carson which she wished brought
up to the lake. It was about as long
and wide as n first-class spring mat
tress, and seven or eight feet high.
The lady had managed to get it as
far as Carson by rail, bat the trouble
was to get it up into the mountains.
Hank had promised two or three times
to bring it up‘next trip,’ but always
arrived without it. At last Hank
drove up next evening, aud, as usual,
the lady came out on the veranda to
ask if he had brought her trunk Like
that great aud good man, George,
Hank cannot tell a lie, and so he said,
“No, ma'am, I haven’t brought it, blit
I think some of it will be up by the
next stage.” “Some of it!” cried the
lady. “Yes; may be half of it, or such
a matter.” ‘Half of it,!’ groaned the
horrified owner of the Saratoga. ‘Yts;
half to-morrow and the rest next day
■or the day after.’ ‘Why, how in the
name of common sense can they bring
half of it?’ Well, when I left they were
sawing it in two. 'Sawing my trunk
in two ?’ ‘That was what I said,’ cool
ly answered Hank. Two men, with a
big cross-cut saw, were working down
through it—about in the middle, I
think.’ ‘Sawing my trunk in two?—
all ray best'clothes in it!’ ‘Sawing it in
the middle!’ And in a towering pas
sion she rushed indoors, threatening
iho hotel, the stage line, the railroad
company, the town of Carson and the
State of Nevada with suits for dam
ages. It was in vain that she was as
sured that there was no truth in Iho
story of the sawing—that Monk was
a joker; she could not be made to be
lieve but that her trunk had been
sawed in two until it arrived intact
and she had examined its eoutouts
most thoroughly.’
The Bothersome Flies.
The following from an exchange
vnay not be without value:
Let me give you a piece of my ex
perience with the troublesome flics.
My room with a southern exposure,
aud the window open day aud night,
has been freo from flies all summer,
though in the adjacent kitcdien and
dining-room there have been millions.
I explain this by the following obser
vations:
1. Flies hato light. You find them
in dark corners, dark passages, dark
holes, never in blazing sunlight.
2. Flies Late a draught. They are
attracted by effluvia, aud 1 ko close
air, while wind beats them about and
gives no promise of anything to eat.
Set up a tent on the prairies, makiug
a little oasis of darkness and dead air,
and in an hour it will be full of flics.
Where do they come from ? From
down in the grass where it is dark
and still. In England I have seen
multitudes in the close lanes, over
shadowed with trees and branching
hedge-rows, of which they are so
many in that country. But you never
find them in the open air and light.
3. Flits like all kinds of dirt, par
ticularly decomposed organic matter.
A kitchen full of scraps and grease, a
dining-room with an unctuous cloth
aud steaming viands, a sick room, full
of pestiferous orders and effluvia of
every sort are their paradise. Where
there is perfect cleanliness, flies, if
they come at all, will lie torpid, as
they do in unoccupied rooms during
the hot weather, and because there is
nothing for them to eat in such a
place, they will leave as soon as light
and wind are introduced.
£SrOn Saturday a confidence man
approached a sti anger in Park row,
New York, addressing him as Mr.
W ardell. “My name is not Wa' dell,"
said the stranger. “Is it possible I
am mistaken? Are you not Mr. War
tlel, of New Haven?” “I am uof,” an
swered the stranger. “I am Tom
Colli us.”

CSrßusiness is lively in Priuceton.
A dry goods’ merchant there in a fit
of somuambulation, arose from his
couch, neatly cut the bed-quilt iu two
with his pocket scissors, and then
asked his terrified wife if he could not
&how her something else.
E2g““What brought you to court,
my colored friend?” said Judge Snell
to anegro. ‘Two constables, sah.’ ‘Yes,
but I mean did intemperance have
anything to do with it?” “Yes, sah;
dey was bof ’em drunk.”
