KEEN FAUN. Own was an isolated little mining camp some twenty-four years ago at Bed Mountain Bar, on the Tuolumne Biver. Six white men dwelt there and about a dozen Chinamen. We lived together in peace. The anti-Chinese sentiment had not assumed its present virulence. We were all Mongolian and Caucasian lingerers and relics of more prosperous and stirring days. The oream of the gold had long since been dug. We knew the Bar had no fortune in store for us. Its diggings were, in the parlace of the time, "grub and wlxisky diggings." We were compara­ tively resigned to our lot. Uninflu­ enced by the desire of quickly making a fortune, we were in a better frame of mind for living peacefully with all men mho would live peacefully with us, and for making the most of what could amuse and entertain us, of which one prominent source was Keen Faun and his castle, which he built with his own hands as a protection against the Mexi­ can robbers, who infested the oountry and preyed upon the Mongolians. Keen's castle was situated opposite Thompson's store. Keen Bought the locality of Thompson's store as a fur­ ther protection against the dreaded Mexican. His castle was about the size of a city omnibus, two stories in height, oat up into many rooms and infested with rats. His store occupied a por­ tion of the first floor. Here, at certain times when he had suspended mining, with the rocker, he sat l>eliind his coun­ ter, wearing his goggle-like-spectacles, and sold gift, fish and opium to his countrymen. From a sort of porthole in the upper story there protruded a great spear head. This had been made At his order by the camp blacksmith, it was intended as a menace to the Mexican invader. I asked Keen Faun one day what he lived on. He replied:--"Gin and fish." And how much gin do you drink in a week ? "I tink," said he, "one gallon hialf." (gallon and a half.) Yet Keen was no drunkard. He was industrious and regular in his habits, though in the rogular habit of drinking Ms quart of gin per day. Some might call this a regular bad habit. But then, any individual may have regular bad habits as well as the good ones. All of Keen's countrymen" round about con- mimed in this regular fashion a great deal of liquor. But a drunken or dis­ orderly Chinaman was never seen. They drank liquor most potent and fiery, manufactured for them by the white man, and known as VGhina gin," and "China brandy." Its chief merit lay in its being plen­ tifully watered. The Caucasian water­ ed it before selling it to the Chinaman. The Chinaman watered it before retail­ ing it back, to the white man. Keen drove a trade with certain of his white brethren hi "selling them gin by the bottle. Keen was hospitable and generous with his gin. He frequently asked his white neighbor to drink of it. ^Tnd the white neighbor was generally glad to partake. Dollar a day diggings lolt •mall margin for the beat quality of whisky. Keen's gin, drank out of a tin cup, made a terr ble commotion going down the miner's throat, and seemed to scrape off most of the mucous mom brone as it passed on to its long, long home. Still, in times like those it was Keen's gin or none, and none of the camp felt above drinking witli a China­ man--when the Chinaman treated. It must be recollected that ours was an isolated community and had grown much out of the world's way*. While the weary white miner was drinidng Keen's gin. Keen wonld stand l»y and grin. H«' was always grinning He grinned whether he was pleased 01 not. No one ever knew what ho was grinning at or what he was grinning for. It was a way he had of being sociable. In the store at night, when the remnunts of the Bar would gather about the »tore for an hour in gossip before dispersing to their solitary- cabin, Keen would drop in also, and grin away the evening horn's. Keen spoke about twenty words of English. He wonld learn no more and always managed by these to convoy a sense of what he meant. How he did this was a mystery. Frequently the words he used had not the slightest connection with the idea to be conveyed. ITis most 'omuinn phrase was "Me-- Xou--Nudder--Man," and at length we mmo to know about- fifteen separate meanings for fkut four words. How knew, I don't know, lit seemed, throngh some unaccountable species of intuition. Keen used one word which puzzled "the toys" for a year. He would re­ mark, on asking the price of an article, "Too muchee tollyfoot." At last Jack Crane hit on the signification of ' tolly­ foot." Keen meant "profit"--"too much profit" This discovery was the sensa­ tion of the Bar for several days. When Keen made his religions feasts at certain yearly periods, he always asked the Christians about him to par­ take of his Pagan offerings. He cooked ducks and chickens and various cho ce vegetables, and these he served with more libations of that China gin, and the Christian was frequently glad to eat of them. Duck and chicken were luxuries seldom enjoyed on Bed Moun­ tain tables, save by our Chinese breth­ ren. Keen had with him a son, a hand­ some boy, too, though a Chinaman. The boy was dissipated; he would gamble. Chinamen are born gamblers. They did not learn the practice of our race; they invented it themselves along with the* gunpowder and print­ ing. Regarding his son's ways. Keen once expressed himself thus: "He-- boy--he go China camp -- he com -, back--no more one cent!" Keen would swear after a true Christian fashion. Of course he did not comprehend the significance of the expletives he used. He only recog­ nized their use in meeting a certain re­ quired want on emotional occasions. The Mexican robbers grew bolder. White men also found this field of rob­ bery profitable and commenced work­ ing it. Chinamen were robbed every­ where, singly, in couples and in squads. Chinamen became afraid to live in isolated dwellings; they concentrated and intrenched themselves in stockaded camps. Even these did not keep off the Mexicans. They attatked one at Swett's Bar, three" miles below us, carried it after a day's siege, captured the garrison, all their gold dust and all the revolvers they had recently im­ ported from San Francisco. How could such anarchy prevail in an Amer<can State and a land of law and order ? Easy enough. The white miners had nearly all departed from these work-out diggings. The Chinese were following on gleaning up what was left. That section of the State was in process of depopulation. Towns of former thousands numbered only hun­ dreds. illages of hundreds counted but a score of lingerers. One man. in 1861 repre-ented the total voting popu­ lation of Hawkins* Bar, which in 1851 boasted a thousand men at its polls. Year by year the roads were fading out; well worn paths grew more obscure aud more and more obstructed by the si­ lently intruding cliapparal. What few Just;ces of the Peace and Constables we had were twenty and thirty miles apart. Camps, dwindlvd to a popula­ tion of ten or twelve, had no officials of any kind. Ours were the fading day a of the California gold fields. After the Swett's Bar raid, Keen im­ ported half a dozen revolvers from San Francisco and practiced often with one to the terror and anxiety of all within pistol shot, because he could not pre vent shutting both eyes when he fired, and he wavered so much about the time of firing that by standers felt in his vi­ cinity that life was more uncertain than ever. If not a terror to his foes, he was to his friends. Yet, in the end. Keen proved the hero of the Bar^if killing a man makes one a hero. Keen did kill his man. He was a white man, a robber, and tried to rob Keen'* castle. Keen shot him in the dark, aiming, as he usually aimed, at half the points of the compass. The ball went straight through the outlaw's spine. He managed to swim the river, it being then at a very low stage. He clambered a few feet up on the rocks. There "the boys" found him, an Ameri­ can. There was a coroner^ inquest at THE FAMILY MOM. Chinese Camp over the body, and Keen Faua was summoned as the principal witness in the case. The white popula­ tion of Bed Mountain Bar (five souls in all) accompanied Keen thither, all on foot, for footing it was with us then a popular and necessary mode of transit. Keen, being ignorant of American law, was not quite certain of the object of taking him thither and rather uneasy on the subject. On the way "the boys" informed him that he would prob­ ably be hanged at the close of the inquest. It was a cruel joke, and I think now, that if they had been carried to China, and the relative situations of Keen and themselves re­ versed, they would have been served right. At every half mile the unhappy old pagan sat down on a convenient rock in bitterness of spirit and groaned, while "the boys" danced around him after the Indian fashion to a Wallah chorus of "Huh! Huh! Huh!" Keen's act was recognized as one of justifiable tiling, and he returned to the Bar a smiling, happy and much more impor­ tant man. When the Bar broke up--that is when Thompson closed his store forever-- the only store within five very Ions miles, over a very high mountain, and when Thompson was about to leave, poor old Keen came in with tears in his eyes, and bestowed on his white friend a basket of choice tea and a silver half dollar. He said: "Thompsinsr, you my flen," (friend) and then broke down. So did Thompson at heart.--- Prentice MiU~ J ord. . A French Surgeon. In France surgeons like to manufact­ ure little pleasantries to show the un- certanticj of m<dicine, and the doctors delight in doing the same thing for surgery. The doctors are now telling the following: The victim of an ex­ plosion was pierced through and through bv an iron drilL The surgeon felt his pulse. "You are woanded, sir," said he; "you have fever." I know I'm wounded," said the patient; "I've throe feet of iron in my stomach." "D these accidents often happen in you family?" "Not very often." "Have you ever had such a troubl© before?

THE Sun (New York) reports that a nunilter of car-drivers were comparing experiences as to the best beverages for cold weather, and the majority agreed that hot ooffee was the least hurtful and most "lasting." Hot alcoholics, rum an 1 whisky, had been liberally tried, but were not recommended.--Dr. Foote's Health Monthly. To PREVENT FLATCUKNCE. -- This troublesome affection is only a symptom of derangement of the digestive org.ins, and frequently accompanies heartburn, and requires the same treatment. All kinds of food which readily unkergo acteous fermentation, should be avoid­ ed. In this process both gas and acid are generated--the gas of course pro­ ducing flatulence, and the and produc­ ing heartburn. To MAKE WINK WHEY.--Take good Teneriffe, Madeira, or Claret, from a gill to half-pant, and mix it with a pint of sweet milk, and boil and strain, aud then wheeten the whey with loaf sugar. This is a grateful and nourishing stimu­ lus in cases of great debility, and may be used frequently through the day, be­ ginning with a tablespoonful, and in­ creasing as the patient will bear it. If it should bring on headache, or flushed countenne?, it should be diminished or suspended altogether until these symp­ toms disappear. To PREVENT CONSTIPATION. -- Eat brown bread, mush and molasses, or oat-meal porridge for breakfast; use salt-water bathing and friction; cold water injections daily; exercise freely in the open air, and last, but not least, the single habit of obeying the voice of nature at a regular hour every day, will often work wonders, (and I had almost said always,) if persevered in. If none of the above remedies succeed, a mild dinner pill may be taken every day be fore or after dinner. If these remedies fail, then take stomach bitters as ad­ vertised in another column. FOB THE STING OF A BEE.--Rub the place with ammonia or saleratus water immediately after it is stung, to prevent it from sw elling; bruised peach leaves bound on are also good, and laudanum where it is very painful. If it swells much apply a poultice of onions and cream. 1 o make on "onion poultice, slice the onions and boil them in water till very soft; then mash and boil them with milk or creaiu and some crumbs of breath A hops poultice is better for a Toothache or swelled face. To make it boil a handful of hope inapintof water till very soft; then thicken it with corn-meal. A teacup of flaxseed boiled till soft, requires no addition to make a good poultice. Ojd English Pastimes. It is pleasant to know that a few of the old Maypoles remain: "One still supports a weathercock in the church­ yard at Pendleton, Manchester; and in Derbyshire a few years ago, several were to be seen standing on some of the old village greens." Around them, adorned with St George's banner and the white, forked pennon, ranged the ancient morris-dance of Scarlet, Maid Mariui, and Little John; and nearby were played the comic interludes that furnished "more matter for a May morning.". The revolving months brought frequent festivals, each with its special character; now there was drink­ ing of the Whitsun ale, sold by the church wardens to repair the church; and now the "booting" and hock-cart of the harvest h<me furnished more amusement to the young; Midsummer Eve and Hallowmas, and al>ove all Christmas with their questioning maids, their soul-cakes, their gilt nutmegs and wassail candles; and many, many more there were that make our own holidays seem starvelings by comparison. Births, christenings, marriages, deaths, and burials, now too generally only matters of record, were seldom and, even in the c*se of the last two, happy occasions But all this is becoming, so to speak, an old wives' tale.

The Fatter ef Amerieni Vhfe Ooltirre. Seth Green, who has done so much for fish culture in this country, is a na­ tive of Rochester, N. Y., where he was born March 19, 1817. His early educa­ tion was of the common school order, but that he improved to the beet of his ability. While yet young he manifest­ ed a taste for hunting and fishing, and used his ears and eyes so well that his talent as an angler and in woodcraft perceptibly developed, and for years his place was the resort of the lovers of game and of the finny tribes. He de­ voted himself to business so success­ fully that in a few years he was at the head of a large concern, with agents scattered along the main water courses and lakes of New York. In the year 1838 he began to devote himself to practical fish culture, and after many experiments in 1864 he organized the fish-breeding establishments at Caledo­ nia Springs, in Livingston County, which he conducted with success for four years. In 1667 he constructed a shad-hatching box which had been ex­ tensively and successfully used in stock­ ing the Connecticut, Hudson, and other rivers, and in the following year was appointed one of the Fish Commission­ ers of his native State, but resigning not long after, was made Superintend­ ent of fisheries of New York. Mr. Green has published several works on fish culture, and his services have been recognized abroad in the two gold medals sent him by one of the French societies. His labors in fish culture are now well known over all this con­ tinent, and in Europe his name is equally familiar to those interested in this line. Mr. Green has been justly styled the father of American fish cul­ ture,Ocean. '.rV YWanted to Chang**' v Thetmse being argued was old Farm­ er Closegrip vs a railroad company for damages sustained in a collision. The old man's lawyer was making a pitiful appeal to the jury. "Gentle­ men of the jury," he said, "just gaze upon the true, honest, time-beaten face of my client, and suppose he had been fatally wounded; think of the sad blow that his loving wife and little in­ nocent children would have to receive; but, thank heaven, it was not so sad as that. But1, O, how he must have suf­ fered during those long days of his ill­ ness!--how the heart-stricken compan­ ion of his life felt when they brought him home, bruised and mangled 1 Now, tell me, shall this poor old man go down to his grave a maimed and helpless creature, without some aid from the cause of his affliction?" During this delivery Closegrip was noticed to be very much agitated, and, rising as the lawyer finished, he sobbed: "Judge, 'scuse my breakin' in, but I must speak." "Go on," commanded the court. "I d dn't know it was so bad as it is until until the gentleman thar sot down; an' ef ye'll let me, Til--111--" here he fainted. "You'll what?" asked his Honor.

Constitution. The Present and the Past. The present of public and private good has its roots in the past The roots in the vegetable kingdom elabor­ ate below ground material and quality of growth. Stem and branches above do not miss this preparation. If they miss it they die. It appears in ever- enlarging width and beautv. The little stream, the great river, is at every point receptive of the waters flowing down from the slopes above. To stop and stagnate is not allowed by the cast of nature and an unseen intelligence. Mother birds sing to their children with all the melody of which they are capable; tbe children hear and give out the same sweetness in grove and door-yard, house-top and forest, to the farthest years. The mind in its cease­ less activity may think out new systems after which the universe and all existence subsist In that way old systems may go out of fashion, as it regards the building of this universal manse and its tenantry. But an active interest in the welfare of the race never goes out of fashion. Is the past far away from the present, the branches far away from the roots, the head from the feet, the river in its depth from its hillside fountains? But the former cannot do without the latter. For very life the connection is clung to. Along with contemporaneous Instincts and the discriminations of good sense let the present draw from the sources of antiquity.--Rev. W. M. Bicknell.

There was one of my friends who waa persistently tryin? to have me use yonr Pulmonic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic, but I utterly refused to get any more medicine. I was dissnsted with med* icine. I had tried so many different medicines with­ out be in? helped by any. Findin? that I was not to be persuaded, he bought some of your Pulmoole Syrup and Seaweed Tonic himself, and brought them to me. I at first refused to touch tliero. I did not want to be experimented on. but tlnallv consented to use tliem merely to satisfy him. not that I expected they would do me any irood.

SCHENCK: Dear Sir: I have been cu-ed of whit throe of the best physicians of this city told me was Consumption of the Lungs, by tlie use of your medicines. I was first attacked with the disease in October, ISO, and al­ though I was from that time continually under tht care of a physician. I ijrew worse and worse, until at last I was confined t.i my bed. I can hardly sa) that I was rtr<t attacked with the di-ease in 1880, for my luwrs had been weak for many years previous ts tills, aud I wou'd «iuite otton have severe piin in mj breast, if 1 too!; the least cold, or exerted myself too much in anv wav. I ({row w.irse, my couth became very bad: 1 had ni.-ht sweat* so severe that my bea through the ni'.'ht would bo as wet as thooah wate| h :d been tlir >wn over me. I win c ontinually raisin) | blood and liive <m»ntit es of oTensive matter from my lungs, and at last had all tlie well-known symp­ toms ot Consumption in its la-t stages. At the renuc-it ot mv family, my jihyslcian called in two other doctors of this citv, and they, after an exam- (nation, agreed that my cat-e ws-s hopeless. Thay in- tormed niv wife that I had better be told that I could not live, as niv time would be very short tor arraDft- ii;K my worldly a;l .urs. They also said that no medi­ cine would he of any use to me. The next day my friend. Mr. H. I. Leith. hearing of my condition, sent nie a buttle of your 1'iniiionic Syrup, thinking it laiuht relieve my cough, aud make my expectoration easier. I beurau ut-imr it, nevfr even hopin? that it would cure me. but fiiuliiiK wreat relief tcom'its uae. When the first battle iv»< gone I sent and pot more: so I continued ;t until 1 liad used seven or eight but- ties. All this time I was in bed, and wis so weak that 1 had t^> be lifted. This was not a diflicuK thing to do. however, as I only weighed about ninety pounds. Aa I have said. I commenced tlie use *>f the medicine with no thought of its i-urine me. but after taking the eiflitli Ix ttie I would sotuetirr.es feel a little hungry, athinplhad not before done for many months.
