ODD Fellows LBRARY.-One Of the finest IL
braries on the coast is at Odd Fellows Hall, San
Francisco 1t contains 5000 books, most of them
rare and valuable. Among them is German
geography printed in 1926; a copy of Johnson's
Dictionary dated 1855. There is also English
Bible, known among antiquarians as the 'Breech-
es Bible, printed in 1GOG. 1t takes its name from
the rendering of the seventh verse of third chap
ter of Genesis, which is translated thus
Then the eyes of them both we're opened, and
they knew that they were naked, and they sewed
fgge leaves together and made themselves breech-
es'
This settles the question scripturally, that wo-
men have been in the habit of wearing the
breeches,' from very remote antiquity and it
should silence the cavellng of the other SEX when
their wives, occasionally, put on bfurcated case
ments, commemorative of Mistress Ewes COM
mendable modesty when she found herself out Of
doors without her most intimate garment. The
respected old female did perfectly right in putting
on the garment most convenient to make. To
make full, hooped skirt would have required
more fig leaves and grape vines that Eden's lin
tied arborieulture then supplied she therefore
made breeches as an economical measure, aud to
let Adam know that some people had nice straight
legs, as well as others.

SENATOR BURCH.-A very undignifed article in
regard to Senator Burch,s position on the Kansas
question. appears in the Butte Record-so undg-
nifed and spiteful that its harmful propensities
are destroyed. The Record will make very little
by attempting to bring into contempt gentle
man whose character for integrity, good sense
and party fidelity is so we'll known. Through
all vicissitudes of his party, Mr.. Burch has been
one of the most unainching Democrats of Trinity,
and it will require good deal more than the
Records ridicule and logic to make people be-
lieve that be has deserved being classed with
traitors
We doubt not but what Senator Burch in his
Interpretation Of popular sovereignty, has not
taken the popular side of the question but all
who know him will be convinced that in the in
ception and maintainance of his opinion, he is
sincere, patriotic and Democratic in intention !;
and in reference to question which has divided
our greatest statesmen it savors more of flippan-
cy than influential oensure, to denounce and rid
icule a representative who in all his public and
private life has maintained the confidence and
esteem of the people he lives among, and the
respect Of Senators, among whom he holds an
influential place.

Nor AN FRESHMAN, WE RECKoN.-Somebody cal
ling himself "An Irishman," objects to the
celebration of st. Patrick's Day by his country
men. lie says:
"The calling together OF large number of
men of a particular nationality is very reprehcn-
sible, and awakens hostility towards them. What
other people inhabiting this continent, from other
lands get up professions to celebrate Saints days,
or even national days? None. They have too
much good sense to be guilty of falling into such
an error, and yet most of them have more reason
to celebrate national holidays than the natives of
the Green Island, for the reason they have nation
alties to boast of, whereas Ireland is only a
province of England"
That sounds marvellousIy like the Bulletins s
"London Correspondent" who, it is said, lives
in San Francisco. At all events, the writer isn't
an Irishman. Nor would we care to acknowledge
as an American, any one so narrow minded
Such Americanism is bogus.

ATIvEs---A fight occurred recently in the House
between Grow, Of Pennsylvania, and Keitt, Of

KANSAS IN THE SENATE-The State Senate has,
at last, succeeded in passing resolutions APPROX
ing the Administration version Of popular sover-
eighty. This expression Of individual opinion,
unsustained by three-fourths of the people, will
weigh little in Washington, since Broderick and
McKibben have been advised of the popular feel
ing here. The strife has engendered much of
bitterness and for naught, save the privilege OF
free discussion. If the party press be an indica-
tor of party feeling, the Senate is in frghtfully
small minority. The Globe sustaiDs the President
