EiTixESNAKE Jack. —The euphonious 

 title of a long-haired scout who appeared on 

 our streets this week clad in buckskin habili- 

 ments. Jack's forte is oratory and shooting. 

 After getting outside of a half dozen 

 "straits" he opened in this style: "I'm a 

 man from the mountains, I'm a hyena from 

 the tropics and a nephew of old Kit Carson ; 

 I've got a string of scalps that a mule cau't 

 pack. General Crook and me used to sleep 

 in the same blankets and ' smile' from the 

 same bottle ; I'm a poker player from Arizona, 

 and my brother rode on the first steamboat 

 that ever navigated the Columbia ; I'm a buz- 

 zard from the"- Rockies' and a ' cuss' on gen- 

 eral principles ; hain't slept on a floor for four- 

 teen years, except in a guard house ; I ken 

 shoot a mole's eye out at'900 yards and make 

 a jackass-rabbit ashamed of himself for a hun- 

 dred." When last seen this celebrated per- 

 sonage was trying to get a bet that he could 

 spit in a man's eye nine times out of ten at 

 twenty paces. — Grant Oounty (Or.) Tinm.
