AQUATIC CoURTsHIP.-A London
Magazine, in an article on bathing,
tells the following story
We suppose all the young ladies
will pronounce the adventurous youth
who went on so swimmingly with
his courtship, dear duck Of lover:
at is reported that one young
gentleman who swan indfferently,
followed out into the sea a young la
dy wso swan excelently; that pant
ing with emotion and exertion, be
assured her in the briefest possible
manner Of his attachment, and al
most choked himself in the attempt
to seize and kiss her hand that
floating upon his back, be explained
quietly his position and circumstan-
ces, and breatbed words oftcnderness,
while the fair one again and again
plunged under water to conceal her
bushes; and that, finally, when they
swan to shore, the daring youth had
been accepted, at the cost Of being
almost paralized with the cold.
am-A Mukwonago correspondent
sends Us an amusing, but rather too
lengthy, account of famous surgical
operation performed by well known
ex-judge of that town upon his mare
Fanny. The mare was valuable, but
more aged than she was thirty years
ago. TO remedy some of the ills that
horse-fesh is heir to, the Judge adj
ministered chloroform and went to
work. He completed the job in fine
style, but found on letting the mare
up CD that the benefits of surgery
would never be of much avail to Der
inasmuch as she bad been dead quite,
a while 1t is said that the simple
inquiry, How is your mare y will
now suddenly remind the judge of a
man in some other part of town that
he has got to see right away.-Mu>

To Cure A FELoN-As soon as the

IT Is Nor RIaHr-We submit that the practice of pub
fishing calls for political meetings and conventions in city
papers as while country papers are called
contend that the country does large share Of the
in political campaign and justly entitled to compen
saton the city papers, The system Of spongng
country applies to all parties and ought to be dscon
tinued.-Amddor Ledger.
There is "more truth than poetry" in Spring
er's suggestion, and if State Committees would
profit by it simple justice alone would be done.
They seem to take it for granted that it is the
duty OF country publishers to do this work gra.
tuitously we see it in the light that it would
be more just to equalize the burden instead of
throwing it on the shoulders of few-printers
at that. County committees are slow to shoul-
der the responsibility when in a campaign like
the present one there no local issues at STAKE

THE 4rH IN TRISITY.-Not till Saturday morn
ing came did the people of Weaverville realize
what dolts they had been to allow the ninety
second anniversary Of American independence
to 60 unhonored. Everything considered, there
never was year when we could have celebrated
to better advantage, but the fact was not appre-
cated until 1t was too late. After the sunrise
salute by the brass band, and the still later one
of thirty-seven guns, the town was painfully
quiet until dinner time, many improving the op-
portunity to sleep off the effects of the school
dance of the previous evening. In the afternoon
large and happy delegation arrived from Doug.
las City with eolors flying, and to them ac-
cord the credit of waking this sleepy burg up.
A crowded house greeted the Wilton troupe in
the evening, the entertainment lasting until
midnight.
At Junction City everything was lovely" if
we except few damaged counteuances which
are strictly legitimate on the 4th of July. The
great race of the day between Louis Raab's
Bucephalus" and McWhorters " Bally," was
easily won by the former, and in number of
races with fresh horses which followed, Louis
steed came off each time victorious 1t was
lively times while the races lasted, and goodly
amount of money changed hands. Charley Ku-
per rode the winning horse, and Jimmy Mullane
the other. We don't marvel at all that "Bu-
cephalus" won, for they do say that Louis noti-
fed him before starting that if he lost there
wouldn't be anything but his shoes above mother
earth next morning. We learn that the owner
of the victorious horse has refused ST. 900 for
him since the race. Jackson tells US that our
friend Hindley, down stairs, might have won his
race, being ahead when he arrived at the "re-
freshment" stand, but right there his horse
"planted." Foot-racing and other exercises
closed the days sports
We are told that the Cox's Bar party was we'll
attended, and that the occasion was a happy
one. How the race resulted we have not learned.
At Minersville they had an oration, and Chaun-
cey Langdou read the Declaration of Independ-
ence. In the evening large party assembled at
Van Matres ranch and enjoyed pleasant dance.
Considerable delegations were present from this
that effort spared which could tend to
render the occasion enjoyable.

CREDIrABLE.-We notice by the Times that the
school trustees of Eureka, Humboldt county,
have ordered an election at which will be sub
mitted the question of voting special tax Of
1900 to build a new school house. Our old

=, NEW REvEXUE COLLECTOR. John A Wha-
ley, of Arcata, has been appointed Deputy U. s.
Collector for the counties of Humboldt Trinity
Klamath and Del Norte. Mr.. Whaley spent
eral days in Weaverville, and from brief az
quantance We pronounce him a very clever gen.
tleman, and believe him a fit man for the posi-
tion. Henceforth all income to the revenue de-
partment must be paid at his office in Arcata, at
the expense of the payee. This will work some
thing of hardship in many instances, but such is
the ruling of the department, and there is no
appeal from it Mr.. Whaey is not permitted to
appoint deputy to receive the Federal tax and
license income accruing in this county. We
would suggest that the best and safest way for
our citizens to transact business with the new
Collector would be through Wells, Fargo Co. s
express, as currency must necessarily be for
warded, and the Humboldt mail is liable to get
a ''ducking' while high water prevails on the
route, which is about two-thirds of the year.

WILTON DRAMATIC TRouPE.-Wilton company
returned from the north last Saturday, and
played to a crowded house in the evening. The
troupe left Wednesday for Humboldt Bay, the
in readiness for the overland trip. At Eureka
accessions, direct from San Francisco, will be
made to the troupe, and we predict an entertain
ing theatrical season for the bay people. After
a months tarry in Humboldt, the company will
return to this place with people enough to pre-
sent an entire new series of plays.

"EARrHouAKE ELoQUENcE. Talk about Irish

way of tall talk that compares with that Of an
American frontiersman, under strong inspiration.
Away up in Virginia City they have Southern
Union man of the ultra school, who swears by
General Grant, and thinks that Colfax is "the
next best man in all creation. The irrepressi-
BILE Colonel was, according to the Enterprise, re-
Gently called upon to make a speech at Grant
ratification meeting over the mountains. Hav-
ing concluded regular thunder and lightning

who was " hanging onto the verge" of the

The old Colonel at once faced about, and with
hands uplifted, his hair bristling, and his eyes
flashing fire, gave vent to the following outburst

Wills. Day, at the Canyon Greek crossing, went
up Clear gulch, or Black gulch, or some other
gulch which has its source under the cliffs of

more easily catch the bear after shooting him.
and in due time came upon the coveted game
Taking good aim, he blazed away, and at the

one direction, and tie bear went in another,
and nothing has been seen or heard Of either an
imal since. Wills. says the horse was out of

TRUTH TIMELY SPoKEN.-In the 4th of July is
sue of that paper, the editor of the Dramatic
Chronicle INDUCED in the following reflections -
" Our Revolutionary war, and our war of 1872,
were but trifes to the war of the rebellion. That
is over. Slavery is abolished; disunion is
squelched the right of secession is an obsolete
doctrine; the republic of the future, one and in
divisible, is fixed fact. Henceforth our ma
tional anniversary is new affair. The Declara-
ton of independence will be but q secondary
event to the Emancipation Proclamation. Lin
coin will stand side by side with Washington in
the tableaux appropriate to the day. Hence
forth, the day will be greater and more signiR-
cant than ever. Our government is no longer
an experiment. 1t has been tried, so as by fire.
1t has endured the tests of prosperity and adver-
sity, of foreign and domestic war, and it has
come out triumphantfy from every ordeal. Our
Fourth is no longer mere celebration of our
emergence from the colonial condition it is the
celebration of our successful passage through all
the ordeals by which those great powers are
tried that are destined to ephemeral existence,
but that are ordained to last"
