Soon after midnight, two members OF
the Provost Guard from the Preside,
arrested n drunken soldier Mt the
Olympic lodgings, corner Of Clay and
Kearny streets, and put him in a hack
to take him to headquarters. In the
hack n fight occurred and the prisoner
escaped. The Corporal Of tho Guard
fired his revolver at him and the ball,
instead Of hitting him, whlzzed past
tile head Of Supervisor Kenny and
passed through the face and neck OF
Alexander Anderson, a citizen, who
was walking on tho street, inflicting a
dangerous wound. The prisoner was
not recaptured but Lacy was arrested.
1t is now thought that the cost OF
the new City Hall may be kept within
the limits of the legislative approprla-

been at low figures.

CURIOUS ANTIpATHIEs.-The subject
of sympathies and antipathies Is eN-
tremely curious. Boyle tainted when
no heard the splashlng Of wator Sea-
Tiger turned pale at the sight of water
crosses; Erasmus became foverish
when he saw n fish. Acurlous story Is
told of a clergyman, that he always
tainted when he heard q certain verse
in Jeremiah read. Zimmerman tolls
us of n lady who could not endure the
feeling of silk or satin, and shuIdercd
when touching the velvetry skin of a
peach. Mr.. Julian Young tells the
story Of an officer who could not bear
the sound of a drum, and ultimately
fell dead when compelled to hear 1t.
There are whole families who enter
tain a horror of cheese ; on the other
hand there was q physician, DR.. Starke
of Edinbu. Oh, who lost his lite by sub.
slsting almost entirely upon It. Some
people have been unable to take NUT
ton, evon when administered In the
microscopic form of pills. There Is
tho case Of n man falling down at the
smell Of mutton, as II bereaved of lifo,
and In strong commissions. Sir James
Eyre, in his well-known little book,
mentions three cases of idiosyncracy:
The case of n gentlomsn who could not
eat a single strawberry with impunity;
the case of another, whose head would
become frlghtfully swollen If he
touched the smallest particle Of hare ;
the case OF a third, who would inevita-
bly, have an attack of govt n few hours
after eating fish.

GREELEY As ALEcrURER.-Anybody
that has heard Horace Greeley lecture
will appreciate the following criticism
of the Boston Daily Transcript:
Mr.. Greeley Is n OF those lecturers
whose audience almost always hears
him for the first time ; those who have
heard him once have gratlfied their
curiosity and are hardly willing to en-
dure the monotonous delivery, the sing
song tone, and the dry, matter-of-fact
composition Of his lecture. He keeps
his voice pitched In the same high, un-
natural key, and any change is for tho
worse instead of the better. He reads
poetry very much as Scion Single
does, and seems to have very much the
same admiration for 1t. Last evening
he followed the written text Of his lee
turc very closely, and unless his eye
sight was defective It was BY no means
as clear as print, for he was compelled
to stop every now and then to read 1t,
and whenever he did so the break was
filled by the convenient syllable Ger"
When the pause was longer than usual
he would take from of the page a very
large red silk handkerchief, with q
deep border offs different shade, and
Wipe his face until he found proper
connection.

BoYs.-The mind ofthe average Amer
lean gamin Is largely democratic. II

long a crowd of street boys had been
having high old sport Mt Twelfth and
Pine IN slieing snow-balls at passer-
by. They prolonged tho fun much to
the indignation Of the possessors of the
glittering targets Of silk hats, and the
vexation of tho souls of patient police
men, all through tho afternoon. When
Alexis came he was Instantly recog-
nized. With q chorus Of yells 4:
"rhere's the Juke !" 'Give 1t to the
son Of tho Carl" tho mltrailleuse of
snow-balls was discharged. Royalty
ducked beneath the fast descending
missiles. Ducking, however, availed
not, and Olsonflef alone Of the party
successfully ran the battery. Alexis

sifted down his neck, and piously re-
sponded to Tudeer's hurried quotation
from the Greco usslon prayer-book.

While a party of miners were snoot-

cidentally shot in the right breast, In.
flicting a dangerous wound. AT iatess
accounts the wounded man appeared

prehensions among his irienas OF u
fatal termination. We did not learn
how the accident occurred further than
that while the party was engaged rs
above stated, one of the lookers-on re-
ceiyed a stray shot. Mr.. Powers, who
keeps the Consolidated clearinghouse,
near the mine, had hold OF the pistol
when 1t was discharged, but our IN.
formant could not recall the name Oh
the mar who was injured.
We understand the Consolidated fur
naces turned out 19T tons Of bullion
In "a hours on last Saturday, which we
believe Is considered tho largest run
ever made by those excellent works.

are working to a charm, and the dumps
at the mines arc crowded with ore.

MEXICAN

The Mexican people are reportSd to
be unanimously in favor Of immydiate
annexation to the United States. 1t is
only a few years ago that the two ma
lions were engaged In a fierce war, and
our armies triumphing over theirs in
many a bloody and well-fought battle.
marched triumphantly through the
country, from the sea coast to the CAPT.
tai and dictated terms Of peace In the
Halls Of the Montezumas. Yet 1t Is
not strange that nov the Mexican
people should desire to join In n ma
tional e~opartnership with their con-
querors and become a part OF the great
American Republic. The Mexican Re-
public has never been a decided sue
cess, being continually disturbed by
internal strife, civil war and revolu-
lions, induced by the various ambitious
and aspiring chiefs. No President,
from Santa Anna to Juarez has been
able to rule In peace except for a lin
tied period Of time, and even then had
to DO constantly In fear Of the next
revolution. Even now civil war and
revolution stalks abroad throughout
the land, and President Juarez sits I'M
easily and insecure In his chair. All
rule in the various sections OF the
country Is merely temporary, for no
State knows what politically aspiring
chief may pronounce himself, raise an
army Of disaffected men as adherents,
take command of local affairs and start
In to overthrow the Government.
Heartily tired of such an unsettled
state Of things, they naturally look to
the grand example set them by their
powerful sister Republic adjoining
their northern border, and rightly be-
lleve that anncxtion would be q per-
feet panacea for their political woes.
They know very we'll from past ex-
perlencc that, as a part of the great
| Republic, short work would DO made
Of any future revolution stirred up by
local aspiring chiefs, and they would
be rendered moro permanently secure
In their personal rights and property
than ever before. That such aunexa-
tiou would be mutually advantageous
there can be no doubt, whether 1t BIO
ever contaminated or not.
