ported that Texan QfSpanish descent, call
ed Mateo, basely murdered two men at the
Colorado, a few days since, for which he was
arrested and hung by the citizens living nsar
Fort Yuma, on the opposite side of the river
The story is that he called at the camp Of
two wood-choppers, who were at work be-
low the fort, and asked the privilege of
stopping with them for the night, which be-
Ing granted, he partook of their cheerAand
turned in with them to sleep. In the night
he arose and murdered them both with an
AK, stripped them of their clothes and proper
ty, and threw their bodies into the river.

down the river. The next day sqme4 Indians

DEATH OF AN IRISH EXILE OF THE AS TINES
Terrence Below McManus, a natiye OF
County Fermanagh. Ireland, and fifty years
old died yesterday in St. Mary's Hospital OF
this city. Fromaan obituary notice contrib
uted by his friends, we learn some interest
ing particulars of the history of the deceased.
Mr.. McMaEps arrived in this city in lS5l
having escaped from the exile imposed upon
him by the British Government for his par
ticipation in the patriotic movements in Ire
land during the year 1913. The deceased in
company with Smith O'Bren Meagher, Dom
ahoe and others, were the leaders of the arm
ed demonstrations that then took place. He
was arrested, tried for high treason, and sen
fenced to death but this penalty was after
wards commuted TO transportation for life
Previous to his engaging in the movements
in Ireland. Mr.. McAlanus was extensively en-
gagged in commercial pursuits in Liverpool
where his character stood very high as an
enterprising and houorable, merchant.-S. r.

How To SEGCT LoUR--First, look at the
color; if it is %lite, with slight yellowish
or strawberry Ntt, buy it, If it as very
white, with bluisrA Aeast or with black spots
in it, refuse it. Seapnd, examine its adhe-
siveness, wet and knead little of it between
yonr fingers; if it works soft and sticky, it is
poor. Flour from spring wheat is likely to
he sticky. Third, throw little lump of dry
flour against a dry, spooth, perpendicular
surface if 1t falls like powder 1t is bad.
Fourth @eaueeze some of the -four in your
hand: Rit retains the shape given 10y the
pressure, that too is a good sign. Flour that
will stand all these tests, is safe to buy.
These modes are given by old -four dealers,
and they pertain to a matter that concerns
everybody, namely the staff of life.

CoNNEss AND THE SrEAKEGsluP,-Genera
Allen says We should not be surprised to
find some seriptural eXpounder prove that
the beast, with seven heads and ten horns,
which Holy st. John saw on the island of
Patmos, was nothing but horrible present
iment of a California politician What is
there about little johnny Conness that should
make him SO dreadful in the eyes of the
Breckinridgers and Lincolnites That he was
born in the beautiful county of Donegal in
the delightful province Of Ulster, in swate
Ould Ireland, is no reason that he should be
made a foot ball for the sport Of wicked Dem
ocrats and pious Republicans Governor
Dowuey was born somewhere in Ireland; and
he is the best gov ernor California ever had
with a few exceptions, and why not give
Conness trial for the speakership?
