AGENTS FOR THE 1NDEpENDENr

AccIDENT.-Wc accidentally learned that the
party who went to meet the comet were no
ieSS personages than Corporal Frank Baby,
capt Llsle and Col Paul Morrill, From the
military complexion of the ambassadors, we
should Judge their intentions were hostile
offensive or defensive What happened at the
interview with the comical comet, we do not
know, but presume the contest was severe one,
as In the melee the eight spring wagon broke
down, Franks right arm from the shoulder was
slightly bruised, and Col. Paul Morrilrs neck
received kink' which interrupted nayiga-
ton, affecting taste, so that the superb supply
of Heidsick Champagne and ice condiments
failed to make their usual regular and speedy
passage. "Jarsey" Champagne was substitu-
ted, but the change was not discovered until
after the article had disappeared. We presume
the comet did "come it ria the Big Tree route
as the party returned without going to Yosem-
ity Falls. Odds Zounds May be they took
him prisoner, or Gagged him up for exhibition, in
those empty Champagne Baskets if so, that is
why they visited Carsons, to try his motive
power in crushing quartz and also returned so
soon, taking the Stockton road, merely to graf
lty the Slough denizens with "a view of the
Heavenly Gerrymander. Do tell us, Colonel, is
the celestial exotic yivaperous, amphibious,
carniverous, or omnivorous Give us its anal
ysis, from Alpha to Omega. How did You cage
hm-dld ne stop to see the Big Trees-or did
ne Succumb to the persuasive clonuence of those
mysterious boxes and baskets? We are par
ticular, as many San Andreasers feel much dis
appointed, that the comet should be thus spir-
"ed away without even giving us dark Ian
tern" or "smoked glass view of his sam
culinary appendage."
