AccIDENT.-Last Saturday, Judge Ros
borough and Mr. J. D Coug ghlin, hired a
carriage and took their families out for a
picnic at soda spring located on the
Judges ranch in Shasta Valley. They
did not return till about dusk. Just after
passing DIR. Wadsworth's residence, the
horses going good jog at the time, the
wheels of the vehicle ran into deep hole
in the street, and the violence of the shock
threw out not only the Judge, but his little
daughter, who sat beside him. Judge
held on to the reins and as the team start
ed to run away, he was dragged about forty
yards along the ground and bruised severe
ly. Mr.. Couehlin reached over the dash
board and finally got the reins away from
the Judge, and stopped the horses. On
going back to pick up little Fanny, her
arm was found to be broken Just below the
shoulder. Mr.. Rogler administered tenn
porary relief til! the arrival of DR.. Cabaniss,
who set the fractured limb. The little
sufferer is doing nicely under the circum-
stances, and will be all right again in a
couple Of weeks or so-[Yreka Union.

DEATH OF A PIONEER.-On Thursday
evening last, Lemuel B. Gilkey died at
Fort Jones, where he was employed as
telegraph operator, as we'll as clerk for
Owens 4 Co Deceased was pioneer of
the North, having been one of the
founders of Trinidad in 1850. About five
years ago he came to this county, where he
since has resided and made host of
friends by his modest aud gentlcmanly
ways. Last year, he was nominated for
the Assembly on the Republican ticket,
but was unsuccessful. of course His fun
eral, which took place on Thursday, was
largely attended by his many friends, as
we'll as by the Masons and Odd Follows,
of which orders he was deserving and
exemplary member. He was unmarried,
a native of Maine and about AZ years Of
age. In 1871, he was chosen Chief Patri-
arch of the Scott Valley Encampment,

NEwsPAPERs.-Scme people estimate
the ability of newspaper and the talent
of the editor by the quantity Of original
matter the publication contains. The
Literary Journal truthfuly SAYS :-"1t is
comparatively an easy task for frothy
writer to pour cut daily columns Of words
words upon any and all subjects His
ideas may flow in one weak, VASTLY ever
lasting food, and his command of language
may enable him to string them together
like lunches of onions, and yet his paper
may be meagre aud poor concern In
deed, the mere writing part Of editing a
paper is but sa all portion of the work.
The care, the time employed in selecting,
is far mere important, and the fact ol a
good editor is better shown by bis selec-
tiOUs than anything else; and that we all
know, is half the battle. But, as We have
said, an editor ought to be estimated and
his labors understood and appreciated by
the general conduct of his paper; its tone,
its uniform, consistent course. its aims, It's
manliness, its dignity aud its propriety.
To pre- erve these as they should bepreserv
ed is enough to occupy fully the time and
attention of any man. If to this be added
the general supervision of the newspaper
establish meet. whlch most editors have to
encounter. the wonder is how they can
find time to write at al.

CoNvERsATIoN.-to Conversational power
is gift of birth. 1t is some mems nature
to talk. Words flow our necessarily. ike
drops from spring in the bill side-not
because they are solicited, but because
pushed out by an inward force that will
not let them be still From this extreme
there is every degree of modification until
We come to the opposite extreme, in which
men seem almost unable, certainly uuwill-
ing, to utter their thoughts. Some men
are poor in simple language. They have
thoughts enough, but the syn bols of
thought words-reiuse to present them-
selves, or come siDgly and stingily. Others
are silent from the structure of secretive
ness. Others are cautious. and look before
they speak, and before they are ready the
occasion has passed.
10 regard to language itself, the habit Of
reading pure English, and of employing it
every pay, is the best drill. for good talker.
People always act more naturally in their
every day clothes than they do when
dressed up for Sunday; and The reason is,
that they are unconscious in the one case
and self conscious in the other 1t is so in
speech. If one allows himself to talk
coarsely and vulgarly every day and out of
company. he will most assuredly find it not
easy to talk well in company.
Habit is stronger than intention, and
somewhere the common run of speech will
break through and betray you. To con-
verse we'll at some times requires that you
shall converse we'll at all times Avoid on
the one side vulgarisms, all street COLO
quialisms, even when they are not vicious !;
for by-words and slang sentences amuse
only while they are new. As soon as they
become habitual they corrupt your Ian
guage, without any equivalent n amuse
ment.
On the other extreme, avoid magnilo-
quent and high flown language of every
kind. Nothing is more tedious than a
grand talker. Everybody laughs at a
pompous fellow who lugs into his COZ yer
sation big words or pedantic expressions.
The best language in The world is that
which is SO simple and transparent that no
one thinks of the words which you use, but
only of the thought or feeling which they

STEALING LocoMoTIv s.-During last
Summer, it will be remembered, man
named John Calm, living on Fifth street,
above Thompson, went to Germantown, and
during the tenn orary absence of the en-
gineer and fireman of the locomotive
"MaDatawny," took charge Of the ''iron
horse" and started tor the city. A short
distance below Cheten avenue the locomo-
tive jumped the track and was overturned,
while the amateur engineer was arrested.
The railroad company expended nearly
$1,000 in righting and repairing the wreck
ed engine, but afterward declined to prose-
cute Gahm on Learnt 6 that he was sub
ject to fits of insanity.
On Tuesday the same individual again
visited Germantown, and awaiting favor
able opportunity, he took charge of loco
motive attached to train OF passenger cars.
Fortunately, his design was discovered in
time to prevent him from staring the train.
When taken into custody he exhibited a
ticket for Philadelphia and remarked that
he was in hurry and only wanted to take
the train to its destination. He was ar
raigned before Alderman Murphy, and
committed in default Of ST 900 bail until
some plan can be adopted to restrain him
from running sway with locomotives -

A STORY FOR THE TIMES.

There is fable among the Hindoos that
a thief, having been detected and condemn
ed to die, happily hit upon an expedient
which gave him hope of life. lie sent fof
his jailer and told him that he bad secret
of g eat Importance which he desired T.
npart to thu king, and when that had been
d ,ne be would be prepared to die On
receiving this piece of intelligence, the
king ordered the culprit to be con-
ducted to his presence, and demand
ed of him to know his secret The thief
replied that he knew the secret Of causing
trees to grow which should bear fruit Of
pure gold. The experiment might be easily
tried, and his majesty would lose the ep.
portunity; so. accompanied by his prime
minister, bis courtiers and his chief priest,
he went with the thief to place selected
near the city wall, where the latter perform
ed a series OF solemn iDcantations. This
done, the condemned man produced piece
of gold and declared that if it should be
planted, it would produce a tree every
branch of which would bear gold. "But,"
he added, 'this must be put in the grouud
by hand that has never been stained
by dishonest act My hand is not clean,
there ore pass it to your Majesty. The
king took the piece of gold, but hesitated.
Finally he said, 81 remember in my young
