famn ANNUAL SUBSCRIPTION $2 50 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.” —o -- CSrßusiness is lively in Priuceton.
