\ CALIFORNIA HUMOR.-About
the most Iudicrous Incident that
we remember occurred the other

heavy substance, which, upon ex
animation, proved to be her nus
band. He had been slaughtered
by SOME rowing Joker, who had
wrought upon him with a pick
handle. To one of his ears was
pinned a scrap of greasy paper,
upon which were scrambled the
following liz pencil marks: 1.-THE

advises Chicago MERCHANTS to ship

The New Orleans Picayune an
sweI,s by Hauuting our charity to
Chicago, and by throwing in the
face Of those we have helped the
fact that they never helped us,
which is Il good way to neutralize
the nobility OF our generosity
The best answer TO the spiteful-
ness of the Comm .TcEal Advertiser
is this, thai the transportation of
grain from the West to New Or
leans is a business transaction,
aud that New Orleans proposes
now. as she has done for years, to
do il cheaper than the Northern
railroads can, and that sentiment
has nothing whatever to do with
such a tran saction as this. II
Chicago finds it to her interest to
ship cereals down the Mississippi
she OuUht TO do so at once as the
best alleyiation Of the great affiic
