PHILOSOPHY OF DOORS
The front door of the Golden Eagle Office
shuts i'm perfectly. Our Society thereby Yves
of cold air. Some men who come in tried to
shut; some did mt. One at last entered and
left it wide open. THAT man." quoth DR..
Browne, ''came from, the extreme South.
They never shut their doors there. You may
always SPOT them by that sign. They don't
believe that tits Constitutional. The climate
also does not necessitate it,"
Just then another man in, He made
and effort to close: gave the door half kick
from behind and strobe onward.
'IIe's from somewhere about the neighbor-
hood of Mason and Dxon's line. dern him. J"
said the Doctor, as he arose and banged the
door too, after the negligent person. They
begin there to think of closing their doors.
"They begin to feel the Northern chilli And
finally, another man entered. lie was more
particular. lie did his duty, turned round
swung that door clear to the latch, but on as
certainiag it's defective qualities gave up the
attempt and walked Indignantly away. Again.
the raw and chilly Sacramentan blast poured
upon our Society DR.. Browne after endur-
ing the cold as long as he could again arose
and closed the door BY leave of the House,
he was allowed five minutes for profanity
lie improved it. ''That person. said he,
"is from Massachusetts,. They close doors
there. They close everything. Close is the
word. | think they are half right. You
shut up the pennies and the pounds will lock
in themselves. +"
And at last, another person entered and on
discovering the defect in the latch, he started
in as if for n days work, and banged and
banged and re-baaged that door and fought
it with an admirable perseverance until the
latch was made to hold the what do you call
it, about the hundredth part of an inch then
he walked away victorious and satisfied. We
asked where he was from.
"The North Pole!" caid the Doctor.
EPIC.
After this, member recited an original
epic poem on DR.. Crossett and the Democratic
Liberty Pole in Sonora. As near as | can
recollect, the last verse ran thus;
At last twas raised
And on its summit,
They sat,
A hideous figure of sheet iron,
In shape woman,
A conception twas said;
OfC.ossett in night mare.
One arm she swung aloft,
To the man in the Moon,
The other pointed ieeringly,
BY turns as veered
The wind
Toward DR.. Walker, Mr.. Bemis or Mr..
Brodigan,
Who tremb.ingly in their several door
ways sat,
AS ragged the storm,
And squinted ever and anon aloft
At Crossett's Iag,
Who laughed and shrieked and on her
pivot creaked,
Threatening to tumble
A0d bust their several and combined
crusts."

In the mind of this child, our Legislature had

evidence. Yet on reviewing the past history
