Tlie Jackass Rabbi*.
[San Francisco Chronicle ]
The clerk of the United States Dis
trict Court of Utah, having an idle
hour on his hands at Beaver City, rc
pentlv sat down, and in a burst of in
spiration penned this essay on the well
known hare of the pacific coast, popu
larly named as above on account ol his
exaggerated ears:
I’ve been over a good deal of that
kind of country that grows the jackass
rabbit. He is a serious, thoughtful ap
pearing animal anywhere, and in Utah
is real solemn. The territory produces
a large, flourishing rabbit, but he wears
a countenance like a good many of the
saints ; it says : “I wish I hadn’t to
come ” This rabbit is rightly named.
He lias the gray color, mixed with
black, and the eternal solemnness of
the old, original edition of the ass,
which Noah had the poor taste to pre
serve. The most noticeable trait in
bis disposition is to sit down. If any
one comes on him suddenly and sees
him before he leaps, he is sitting. If
seen at a distance, quiet and giving
himself up to sweet reverie, he is sit
ting down. Should he have occasion
to rise from his scat and run only fifty
vards, ho is lired at the end of it, and
he sits down.
The jackass rabbit has sociability,
but it is very thin It is not probable
that he would leave a comfortable seat
and go a few feet for the sake of com
pany. Yet occasionally several of them
may bo seen together when they think
no one is watching them- At such
times they are quiet and undemonstra
tive—seem to be holding social con
verse and a sort of tea party It is the
custom for all to take seats at these .
t'Ui ’ 1 , Now and if.eo some little mats !
ter of courtesy will call one to his feet, j
wb;.-St is s',l'i.W to he *i*s down.:
without delay, ft makes cue feel at
peace with the world and kindly to
ward himself to see a bench-legged
fiee that thinks he amounts to some
thing—and every bench-legged fiee
.thinks lie does —chasing a jackass rab
bit up bill; for the rabbit, when once
compelled to arise from h s seat, recog
nizes no difference in his speed between
uphill and down. One’s thoughts are
not s■mm h on the race as the euipti
ness ol this: 'Yhere there s a will
( there’- a way.
J’vo kp ri a digti fied, sensihle dog
rush after a rabbit, have his course
cross'd by a se-mnd rabbit, take frar.ti
rally aft r the second, then have his
new course erossed bv a third rabbit,
turn madly after the third, come on the
.fourth crossing rabbit and quit in dis
gust. Sometimes a person will jump
up a rabbit, and think he immediately
sees a number of them running, when
it is only the grav fi-hes of the same
.rabbit passing through the sage-brush
.vistas.
The increase in the family of jackass
rabbits is something overwhelming.—
Figures arc hardly equal to ,the occa
sion. Tt is something like the increase
in the patronage of a place of public
amusement when it ceases to charge
admission fee. Some people like jack
ass rabbits as a dish ; but to me he is
not pleasing in this form except in a
high state of hur.grinoss, when the
stomach is no longer guided by reason.
There is something touching in the
death of the rabbit. The shrieks of a
puppy whose tail has been trod on
make one almost feel a portion of the.
pain himself; and the squawks of the
hen, rudely torn by the thief from her
roost, as they are‘heard growing grad
ually weaker, and finally dying away in
the distance, strike a sympathetic
chord : but more pathetic still is the
wail of the dying jack-rabbit, so help
less, so hopeless and plaintive, it at
tunes one's every emotion to pity.—
Jackass rabbits resemble potatoes in
one respejt they are not all the same
size I probably saw the biggest jack
ass rabbit that ever was. It was niv
habit in one locality to pass a certain
thicket several times a week while bird
hunting. One day I shot at a rabbit
on the edge of the thicket; the bird
shot peppered him and ho fled in as
tonishment. On another day. at the
same spot, I shot a second one in the
same way. A day or two afterward a
third one was shot there, and bis gait
mi so halting that I caught him He
was very much magnified. I had been
shooting the same rabbit for a week.—
When I arrive at the ‘beautiful gate,’
which so often swung open at Suuday
school concerts, if there is any one
seemingly bad act in my whole life
which I shall not, in my interview with
St. Peter, be able to explain away, it is
the shooting of that rabbit for a whole
week. I feel week on that.
He Was luqiiisifivc.
She sat opposite him in the street
car. and she looked as if she thought
he was about, as hard looking a customer
as she had seen this season, and she
drew her dress closer and eyed him
suspiciously.
“Madam,” said the suspicions look
ing individual, reaching over and touch
ing her on the knee, would you uiiod
telling me confidentially how much you
paid for them teeth, and where you got
them ? Just give me the dentist's
name and I’ll put it down so’s not to
forget it. I want to have my old snags
pulled out and get anew set as soon as
this silver question is settled,” and he
pul ed out an old beer check and a lead
pencil to lake down the address.
She gave him a look that would have
frozen the polar bears, out at the Zoo
Zoo, but it was lost on him, for he
went on smilingly :
“Well, if you don't want to tell, why
of course I’ll not inquire any more
about it; but just to saiisfy my curi
osity, what does a good glass-eye cost ?
I notice you handle yours pretty well,
but it’s a little lighter than the other,
but then that don’t hurt. I like to see
a contrast; was it made to order, or
did you buy it second-hand ?”
She told him he was an old brute,
and that she would hit him over the
head with her umbrella if be didn’t
shut up ; and for a few moments it,
looked as though she had settled him.
but it a? i ; dxuiii.bl'.* inquisitiveness rose
above the storm and he continued :
“Have you ever found faints injuri
ous? My girl wants to use it, but I
heard it injured :he skin, and I want
to get the opinion of some older person
who has had experience. How long
have you u-ed it ?”
“You are an insulting old vagabond
and need a horse-whipping ; and I’ll
have you put off the car if you say an
other word, you old heathen, you !’
lie looked quite crest fallen for a few
minutes, and then the same old look of
confidence and trust lit up his face
again, and he replied apologetically :
“There’s no use of getting mad, I
didn’t mean any harm ; it’s just ray,
disposition. I’m naturally inquisitive;
andju-t to satisfy my curiosity I’d
give you a trade dollar to see you move
I'd like to see how you manage your
cork limb, my brother has one and it
don’t work well, it flops up at the
wrong time ; would you mind walking
up and down the car a couple of times
to show how it works?’
She hit him over the head with her
umbrella, and as the conductor dragged
him towards the door he shouted :
“There is no use ofyou having red
hair all your life—scaring babies ami
making the boys call you sorrel-top. —
Just use a couple of bottles —”
The conductor gave him a shove ofl
the 6teps into the mud, and the re
mainder of the sentence was lost.

IJie Apofhccarj's Squirrel.
An apothecary had a tame squirrel,
which lie was in the frequent habit of
regaling with nuts, and which he used
to keep in his own private room adjoin
ing his shop. The little fellow was ala
lowed plenty of liberty, for the doqr ol
his cage was frequently left open, and
he used to climb up doors and win
dows, and spring thence upon his mas
ter's hand. On one occasion he jump
ed upon the broad brimmed hat of a
Quaker who came info the shop. ITc
made friends with all his masters ac
quaintances. but lf&nybody teased him
he could show that, he knew how to
bite. As the winter came on, he was
in the habit of building himself a nest
of any tow he might find about, and
used to choose the pocket of his mas
ter's coat. WheD, in the evening, the
coat was taken off and hung upon a
nail, the little squirrel would .climb up
the door on which the nail etood, run
down the coat, and take up his quar
ters in the pocket, carrying always in
his mouth a good supply of the tow,
which he had prepared and rolled to-

gether beforehand, and with which he
contrived to make in the pocket the
cosiest night's lodging in the world.
Great results followed from this
habit of the squirrel’s as you shall hear
A house-breaker, watching his oppor
tunity, selected an especially dark night
for getting in through the window of
the apothecary’s littb back room be
hind the shop, with, as you may sup
pose, no good in view. He knew that
the apothecary kept no dog; he could
easily guess where his coat was likely
to be hanging up. He soon found the
pocket, and was just about to lighten
it of purse, pocket-book and keys, when
a misfortune totally unexpected befell
him. In rummaging for keys and
purse he had struck the sleeping squir
rel, of whose strange habits with regard
to his bedroom he had not been aware.
Not liking to be thus sudlenly disturb
ed, the little animal gave the thief so
-harp a bite on his thumb, that he
could not forbear from yelling with
pain, and the master of the house.alarm
ed at the unusual sound, came into the
room, armed with the poker, just as the
thief was escaping through the window.
The watchman happening to be pass
ing, the unwelcome guest was given in
to custody, and as the geese in Rome
had saved the capital by their cackling,
so the little squirrel had saved his
master’s property by lodging in bis
coat pocket.

A Keen ISit of Irony.
TF tlie religious press gets ahead of
the El Paso Journal, says the paper of
that name, we give it a fair warning
that it must get. up on its spine. We
have stood the “Sleeping Cherubs,” hy
the Christian Union ; we have gazed
on the rtieture of the wall-eved virtue
with which Brother falmage ropes in
subscribers from the rural districts un
moved (But when tlwrUhnsfiau at "Vv .fiC
sends us a picture of two sore-eyed dogs
watching three merino lambs, and
wants us to pay S2O for it, then in
deed (ho free spirit of an American
citizen is aroused
We want it distinctly understood
that we are in the ehromo business
ourselves.
Hereafter every subscriber of the E 1
Passo Journal will receive a beautiful
chromo, entitled “Mrs. Snooks Wash
iog the Children.’’ It is one of those
beautiful home pictures that at once
appeals to the fondest and holiest affec
tions of the heart. Every uian who’
sees it will at once “would he were a
boy again,” when being washed and
getting soap in his eyes was one of the
regular Sunday afflictious, next to bis
catechism.
In the foreground is Mrs. Snooks.— j
Before her is a tub, and one of the or* |
phans is struggling in the water. The|
artist has seized upon the moment
when the infant has just opened its!
mouth for a prolonged solo, hut is dex
terously checked by his mother’s swab
bing his voice with a sponge. The
manner in which a stream of soapy wa
ter is represented running into the
urchin’s right eve is very finely done
In the other eye is thrown all the add
ed emotion of pent up grief and “sor
row that knows no tongue.” We defy
any man to see this picture without be
ing stirred in his inmost depths. Mrs.
Snooks’ face is a study. It is such an
expression of motherly love, housewife"
ly zeal and beautiful devotion to duty
that can be likened to nothing except
that seen upon the face of our mothers
on wash days and at house cleaning
times.
Three of the children have already
been washed. Their rosy countenances,
bright with the exuberant health, have
been further heightened by the art of
limner, who has depicted them suffer*
ing with" colds as one resu't of their
haths. At the same time their ‘com
plexion forms an agreeable contrast to
the three behind the tub who have not
yet bathed. This is finely dune, and
cost a world of labor.
The whole forms an agreeable con
trast to the naked cheruby sent out by
the religious press. It is a domestic
scene, full of holy joy and tranquilized
by a sweet and dream like peace.
In order to convey the idea that even
in so perfect a home as this sorrow must
enter, the artist has depicted one of the
children suffering with the measels
The way in which the mease! blotches
are struggling with the dirt on his nose,
having captured the last named organ,
is one of the sweetest things in the chro
me line that has ever been presented.
We are prepared to furnish these
chromes to every subscriber of the E!
Paso Journal. We append a few cer
tificates from prominent individuals :
“True to life- The very atmosphere
smells of soap.”—Henry Ward Beech
er.
‘I assure you, on my honor, that the.
chromo is so natural that one of my
children actually caught the measels
from looking at it.”— Ben Butler.
‘Reminds me of the time wheu they
used to wash me, now many, many
years ago.”—Susan B. Anthony.
‘Send me 15,000 dozen of your
ebromos, ‘Washing the Children.’ We
want to offer them as premiums.”—
Christian at Work.
‘lt shows domestic misery in the
highest degree. No woman ought to
be allowed to have seven children ”
Victoria Woodhull.
We trust these testimonials are suffi
cient. We could append many thou
sands; but we forbear. Now let the
honest masses show their appreciation
of art by coming up and taking the
Journal.

It is amusing to see how many
“Mrs. Proudies” there arc in
Washington. And it is—not
amusing to see bow many nice
little wives and good, plain mothers
are spoiled by a tasto of gaycty in
our Republican Capital. Gee
member’s wife, when she eatco
here first, a few months ago, was
really homesick for her little ul
lage. But after the cards cafp'e •
to her, and she began to re- ze
that she was the wife of a mei-ier
of Congress, what airs the coy V
nitre u •.% era rruTsc'.-., .Aig'P*
whose claim to distinction rested
upon tho innate refinement and in
telligence, and not upon the acci
dental position of their husbands,
were passed unnoticed save by tho
faintest smilingless inclination; and
the grade or rank of a lady's hus-
Oand could have been told by a
lookeron by the warmth or coolness
with which the wife of anew mern
her welcomed them. The change
in the toilet of the lady was mark
ed. Her eye eagerly ran over the
dresses of her acquaintance. From
a modest lady in a pain black silk
and smooth brown locks she bursts
into the less distingue style of
light satin and bare shoulders, and
pyramid-shaped head with the
surrounding thatch of frizzes which
hides the broad, beautiful brow,
and makes every woman look like
an idiot. The lady now trips to
her hired cab every day, and gives
her orders to the coachman with
an icy. fault-finding tone, which
she, poor soul, does not know in
dicates her newness to the luxury
of a hired team and livery. Her
days are a round of ceaseless,
meaningless toadyism; her nights
wild revels, where neither sense
nor comfort ever shows its plain,
old fashioned faces. This woman
before her husband’s election,
would have sat up with her neigh
bor’s sick child. She would have
made its tiny grave clothes and
put flowers in its dead hands, the
while her eyes were misty with
sympathy. But now she is spoiled
for everything. She will fly hex
round; fritter away her day, drop
out of life, and not a ripple on the
tide of fashionable society will show
where she has gone down. The
wheels of folly roll round forever
here. There are half-naked wo-,
men crushed in the cram with
semi respectable people, men and
women. There are champagne,
rml punch, and lobsters,f and flow
ers, ruined toilets, lost tempers,
and. finally, disappointment and
remorse —Correspondence Chica
