School MATTERs.-In pursuance of call
of the School Trustees, meeting of those
who feel an interest in school matters will be
held at the school house. at two O'Clock to-
day, and it is to be hoped that the call will
be properly needed, The object of the meet
ing is to consider the feasibility of raising
money to continue the present term OF tho
public schools. by means of a ball and festi
val. The motive is a most laudable one, and
some such plan can and should be adopted
and carried out The present and future
welfare of the children of the place impera
lively demand continuation of our schools,
and it would certainly be far more preferable
to raise the necessary funds by means OF a
public ball or festival than to compel the
District Trustees to levy and collect proper
ty tax for that purpose. Let there be gen
eral turn out of parents and friends oil efu
cation today and there will be no trouble in
arranging programme 10y means of which
a handsome sum can be raised, and the
necessity of a special school tax obviated.

A Streak of Sunshine.


South Fork district, is guarantee that work
will be commenced there on an extensive
scale, and at the earliest possible day, by
men of means sufficient to do what is neces-
sary to make it pay most. The working OF
such mine necessltates the expenditure CT a
large capital. and of course makes market
for labor, skilled and unskille!, at remuner
atng wages, as well as for the agricultural
products of the county, besides bringing
custom to lumbermen and merchants, and
above all. stimulating to life the hopes and
energies of our people, which had so nearly
died out when this streak of sunshine broke
in upon them.
And now the question presents itself
How can we best utilize the encouraging
propects which dawn upon us? Is Shasta
we mean the town-to divide the benefits
Hkely-nay, surely-to arise from these
mines, with Red Bluff? or, is she to quietly
yield all the benefits to the last named place ?
The citizens of Shasta are to determine which
way it is to be. To yield all to our sister
town we have but to remain as dormant as
we have been for the past few years; to
share the Benefits, we must arouse ourselves
from that fatal lethargy, and construct a
z bod and direct road to these new mines
TO do it will take money, and not money
alone, but enterprise. Can we arouse our
selves to the emergency or, shall we quietly
let nature perform all the work of incubation
without thought or concern for the result p
We take it that it is in the hands and in the
power of our citizens now to bring back to
Shasta the trade and glory of other days
The way to do it is plain and simple. Nature
and good fortune has opened the door to
prosperity. Will our citizens pluck the
golden apple? If so, the road will be built.
If not, then the obnoxious signs upon our
brick buildings, - To Let" which have so
long afflicted the eyes of the passer by, will
continue until natures slow decaying process
shall wipe them out.
Already capital is busy at the South Fork
not only in the Chicago. but in many other
rich odes there. How do its representatives
reach that point? Inquire and it will be
found that they leave the public convey
ance leading from below to this place, at Red
Bluff; thence they 60 by private conveyance
to the point where their business calls them.
Build the road, and they will continue by
stage to this point, and hence to South Fork
in an hours time Besides, V thus short
ening the distance, all the light trade of that
place will be secured to Shasta, and also a
large visiting patronage at least one day out
of every seven. A road can be constructed
from here to Ellsworth's Mill that will not
exceed seven miles in length, and on such a
grade that it may be travelled in an hour
from point to point, and that, too, at an ex-
pense within the easy reach of our citizens.

A Human Timopieco.

A wonderful story is told of man
named j. ID. Chevalley, a native Of
Switzerland, who had in l845, at the age
of sixty.six, arrived at an astonishing
degree of perfection in reckoning time
by an internal movement. He was, in
fact, human timepiece or living clock.
In his youth he was accustomed to pay
great attention to the ringing of bells
and vibrations Of pendulums, and by
degrees he acquired the power of count
ing succession of intervals exactly equal
to those which the vibrations of the sound
produced. Being on board a steamboat
on Lake Geneva, on July IA, 1882, he
engaged to indicate to the crowd around
the lapse of quarter of an hour or as
many minutes and seconds as any chose
to name, and this during most diversi-
fed conversation with those standing by;
and further, to indicate by his voice the
moment when the hand passed over the
quarter, minutes, or any other subdivi-
sion previously stipulated during the
whole course of the experiment. This
Ghe did without mistake, Notwithstanding
the exertions of those about him to dis
tract his attention, and olapped his
hands at the conclusion Of the fixed
time. His own account Of his gift was
as follows: IL have acquired by imita-
ton, labor and patience a movement
which neither thought nor labor nor any
thing can stop. 1t is similar to the. of
a pendulum, which at each moment of
going and returning gives me the space
Of three seconds, so that twenty of them
made minute, and these add to others
continually"

A suuf-loyer,s will.

Dame Margaret Thompson's last will
and testament was something unique IL

and she had never found any flowers so
fragrant and refreshing as the precious
powder, her trusty servant, Sarah, was to
take care her body was covered with the
best Scotch snuff. Six men, the greatest
snuff takers in the parish, were to carry
her to the grave; and the half dozen old
maids selected to act as pail bearers,
we're to be supplied with boxes of snuff,
wherewith to refresh themselves on the
road. The officiating clergyman was to
be paid four guineas, upon condition that
he walked in the procession, and took
a certain quantity, not exceeding one
pound. OF the same. Sarah's legacy
depended upon her carrying out the
wishes of the testatrix-strewing the
threshold of the house in Boyle street
with two bushels of snuff, and walking
before the corpse for the purpose of dis
tributing "every twenty yards large
handful of Scotch snuff to the ground
and upon the ground" Lastly to every
legacy bequeathed by Dame Thompson
was attached a gift of one pound of''the
grand cordial of nature" The sex
"added foil to every obvious grace "
down to the days of the Regency; Queen
Charlotte herself was dear lover of a
pinch, and always kept her box we'll

General Lees headquarters were but
short distance in the rear of Gregg, in a

Gregg was carried Generals Hill and
Malone were in conversation with Lee
at his headquarters. As the firing grew
nearer and nearer, Lee, intently listening
TO the sounds, suddenly turned to Hill,
and said: How is this, General, your
troops are giving way p Upon this Hill
mounted his horse, dashed to the front,
but while galloping down the road he
suddenly came upon two men in blue
uniforms Throw down your arms ]
