A MISCHIeV0US YoUra.

On Monday evening. says the San
Francisco Chronicle Of yesterday. n
youugster named David Phillips fast
ened 4 nall to the window Of John Me-
Kiernali, and attached n string thereto
la such q manner that when the string
was pulled the nail would strike
against the window with a "tick-tick-
tickety-tack." The striug vas 80 long
that Phillips stood In a doorway oil the
opposite Of the street, aud engineered
his Internal machine. He also utilized
his string by using 1t as an Instrument
to sweep off the hats Of pasSers, many
OF whom were surprised to fluid their
beavers In the gutter and no visible
reason for the catastrophe. David
kept up his window tapping until the
McKiernan family was frantic aud
about a duzen hats had rolled In the
mud but the aveuging Nemesis OF the
Mckiernans was OH his track, and he
was suddenly yanked by the back OF
the neck, and found himself In the
arms Of John McKiernan. David WAS
equal to the occasion. and ho hauled
of and struck Mckiernan In the eye.
For this he will pay q fine to-day.

TIE REPUBLICAN NOMINEES.

The Enterprise Of this morning, In "
we'll written editorial, makes as able
an effort as 1t a to show the ticket
nominated BY the Jones' Enterprise
Republican Convention yesterday to
be a strong one, and II which de
mands the unqualified support Of the
whole Republican party. 1t says thar
the distinguishing feature Of the list I.
It's thorough representation Of ON
most substantial interests, and that Ia
Its selection, while capability for tn,
position sought was kept steadily IL
view. as much or moro attention wa
paid to considerations Of character. In.
texrity aud business standing. 1t ais"
states as the result, that a list Of nomi
nations Il presented to the people.
(which for manifold excellences, ha,
never before been eQualed In this
county"
Oh! what bosh. Does the Enterprise
think that the sensible working men
and business classes Of thi. community
are fools? Does the C. o. G. suppose
that he, even with Jones' assistance.
can make up a ticket and oticlously
and energetically engineer l. through
their convention, then swear that It l.
the best ticket ever promulgated. and
maks everybody believe Il? True.
there are many good men on the
ticket, but there are others whom even
the pick aud drill boy, working Ii
either of our mines, knows a never
be elected. Why put any element OF
defeat In the ticket? 1t may he said
that Jones had nothing to do with any
Of the county or township offices. yet
II this was considered 90, why did Ben
L,ckey, la Withdrawing from his can-
didacy tor Sheriff, for the sake Of har.
mony, think It worth while to declare
that he was "a jones' man," never.
theless? We have done u best 10
prevent a weak ticket from being nom
mated, but. here we have one. The
C. o. G. Of the Enterprise had It all hi
own way from first to last, conse
quently made no threats Of boltinS. a J.,
be did two years ago, but If the ticket
Is beaten, we shall give the full credit
or blame Of the same where it beloug,,
to the Jones-Emerprise clique.

HARMoNIoU

The Jones-ERtsrprlse Republican
County Convention met, according to
programme. at Piper's Opera House.
Virginia, yesterday. and ratified the
nominations with some few exceptions
OF minor importance, which were made
in caucus the preceding day. The
inanlmity of the members was won
,lerful to behold! We understand that
every M OF them had his Instructions
written down In a little book, and
when a candidate was nominated. each
,ne referred to It with the view Of
voting according to the programme.
Il having been determined In caucuI
to slaughter Torp and Piper, It was
considered prudent, In order to concil-
late the German vote. to 60 through
che farce Of throwing Is votes for Torp
for Sheriff, aud 20 for Piper for County
Treasurer. The transparency Of this
manouvre caused much quiet amuse.
ment among the lockers N. The nom-
mation BY acclamstion Of twelve men,
bers Of the Assembly, when we take
into consideration chat there was no
concert Of action agreed upon before
hand, speaks volumes In favor Of the
popularity Of those distinguished gen.
{ emen. True, II or moro OF them Is
said to be a Democrat, but In the
enthusiasm Of the members, this
trifllnG difference Of political opinion
Is not 70 BE- spoken Of. They are out
md put Jones men, and that surely
ought to satisfy all Republicans who
love Jones than they do a con.
sistent political record. The Conven-
tlnn met at Piper's Opera House at
lOE A. NJ. At 100 a recess Of fifteen
minutes was taken; re-assembled at
Il.2t; at II N. adjourned until n
O'Clock r. N. The frequency Of the
pijournments was \ very noticeable
feature Of the Convention. The cause
was doubtless owing to the appetites
VI the members, who constantly craved
something to eat. 1t was lovely % no
tice the harmony which prevailed, and
the promptituie with which the men,
oers, after referring to their little
books, voted. Is deserving Of all praise.
