Irving, who says he was one Of the

San Francisco, Aug. 2S.-The case of
Elmer Terry vs.. ". H. Mills, is on trial
in the Third District Court. The action
is brought to recover S25, GOO damages
for alleged fraudulent representations
relative 10 defendants interest in San
| Miguel Island, off the coast of Santa
Barbara, by which plaintiff says he was
induced TO purchase one-sixth Of the
island and 6.G00 sheep, getting only
| about one-half that number of sheep
and Zone of the island. The trial is be-
fore a jury, one Of whom is an intelli-
gent colored man.
The local news, beyond the election
excitement, which grows hotter every
day, is unimportant. The City Hall is
thronged with persons anxious to render
valuable services to any candidate who
has an opponent in the field, for indeIi-
mite cash considerations. Il would take
the Bank OF California to fee all the i'm
pecunioUs strikers. Candidates are
obliged to hide themselves away as if
pursued by pack of wolves. Neither
the code of morals nor the penal code
offers any obstruction to their greedy
pertinacity.
The sailor of the British ship Coul-
make who, on Tuesday last, confessed
to several crimes and was locked up to-
day, made further confession il the
Probate Court to-day that he was one of
the murderers of Nathan in New York.
He said that the murder was done at the
instiga:ion Of Washington Nathan, the
son of their victim. and that he got |
about 81, GOO from Nathan. He describ- |
ed the location of Nathan's house, the |
particulars of the murder, and said he |
has some effects belonging to Nathan at |
his home in New York. He refused to |
give the names of his confederates. He
was examined by the Commissioners of
LUaacy, who could not determine |
whether he was insane or not. He was
to prison. He says he is q
relative of Washington Irving, and that
the murder OF Nathan was done with q
iron dog.
The detectives still hold to the theory
that l. I. Irving, who confessed to hav-
ing been implicated in the Nathan muir
der is insane. In q conversation with |
the prisoner tonight, he secuted the
idea of his insanity. He says he is sane, |
and that SO far from desiring to get
free passage back to New York, he is
fugitive from justice from Brooklyn,
where he committed a burglary and got
shot in the back. He asserts that two
men were with him, and that he has in
his possession documents which he took
from Nathan's safe with his own hands
and which he can produce whenever the
authorities will guarantee the safety of
his own neck from the halter. Several
gentlemen at the chiefs Office tonight
denounced his statement that young
Nathan was gambler as wholly false.
Captain Lees contends that Irving's
story does not coincide with the pub
lished accounts of the murder of Nathan
Irving says he does not want to go to
and that the officials will make
a great mistake if they send him there.
He certainly seems to be perfectly sane.

Yreka, Cal, Aug, 28--From H. ".
Walbridge, from Fort Klamath, we learn
the following: The order for the ex-
ecution of the Modocs had not been re-
cieved when he left. The Klamath In
indians express great indignation at the
liberties allowed Scar face Charley and
the scouts who deserted Jack and helped
General Davis, declaring that if Captain
Jack and others are hung, Scar-face
Charley and other scouts should never
leave the country alive. Not long ago
Scar-facs and Bogus Charley were armed
and sent after couple of deserters
whom they caught This has incensed
the soldiers SO that they swear vengeance
ON those two worthless. The general
health of the troops was good, also that
of the Modocs, who were becoming
bleached out owing to confinement.
Curly-headed Doctor seemed more de-
pressed in spirits than any others.
There is some fear of trouble with the
klanaths when the Modocs are executed.

OF fifteen men had gone tc the lava bed

CHARCOAL FOR PoULTRY. The benefit
which fowls derive from eating charcoal is,
believe, acknowledged. The method Of
putting it before thOm, is, however, not we'll

food, and consequently is not very enticiug

FUS AT HoNE.-Don't be afraid of little fun
at homo, good people. Don't shut up your house
lest the sun should fade your carpets, and your
hearty laugh should shake down some of the
musty old cobwebs there. If you want to ruin
your sons, let them think that all mirth and so.
cial enjoyment must be left on the threshold
without, when they come home at night. When
once home is regarded as place only to eat,
drink, and sleep in, the work is begun that ends
in gambling and reckless degradation. Young
people must have fun and relaxation somewhere ;
if they do not find il at their own hearthstones,
it will be sought in other and less profitable
places.-Erehdnge.

GREEN TOMATO PICKLES The incest
green tomato pickles that l have seen
were made as follows: To every gallon of
sliced tomatoes add two tablespoonfuls of
salt, and let them stand over night. Do
not pour off the liquor, but add two-thirds
of pound OF sugar, one pint of grated
horseradish, two tablespoonfuls Of mustard.
Pat weight on the top and set near the
fire or in warm place until they become
sour, then they should DO kept in cool
place. The juice of the tomatoes forms the
vinegar, and if some are partly ripe it is all
the better. No scum rises on the top, and
they will keep long time

AN TIN WHICH RvERY MAN SHOULD READ. -
We have probably all Of Us met with instan ces
in which word heedlessly spoken against the
reputation of female has been mag nifed by MA
licious minds until the cloud has been dark e.
nough to overshadow her whole existence. To
those who are accustomed not necessarily from
bad motives, but from thoughtlessness-to speak
lightly OF ladies, we recommend these hints us
worthy of consideration
Never use lady's name in improper places at
an improper time, or in mixed company. Never
make assertions about her that you think un-
true. or illusions that you think she herself
would blush to hear
When you meet with men who do not scruple
70 make use Of woman's name in a reckless
and unprincipled manner, shun them-they are
the very worst members Of the community-men
lost 10 every sense OF honor, every feeling of hui
manity. Many good and worthy woman )
character has been forever ruined and her heart
broken by lie manufactured By some villain
and repeated where il should not have been, and
in the presence of those whose little judgment
could not deter them from circulating the foul
and Dragging report.
SANDER is soon propsgated, and the small.
est thing derogatory to a womans character will
hy on the wind, and magnify as it circulates,
until its monstrous weight brushes the poor un.
conscious victim Respect The name Of woman :;
your mother aud skaters are women and az YOU
would have their fair nSmea untarnished and
their lives nnimbitttred by the slanderers bit.
ter tongue, need the ills your words NAV bring
upon the mother, tine sister or the wife of some

Good evening" said the young lady 10
a very sweet voice.
Somehow Blumble didn't sleep very
sound that night; he was in very strange
place, aud he kept constantly thinking OF
his strange adventure, and of the good
looking strange young lady; and the more
he thought, the more he wondered who she
was, and when at last be determined to in
qulre about her in the morning, he fell
asleep and dreamed OF her.
humble was an early Iiser-bachelors
generally src-and the next morning, be-
fore the villagers were astir,h he had walked
out and passed the house of Squire Gay;
but be did not see Mary, so lie returned
to the hotel and inquired of the landlord
concerning her. The landlord must have
praised the girl, for the bachelor decided to
remain another day and be introduced to
her, then to remain third, aud finally he
concluded he might as well stop the week
out, aud so be wrote to his partners, in
forming them that ho should remain there

man-hater walked up that same lane each
evening, and walked into the house, too.
lie was not disturbed again by Bill Higdy,
for the Squire had threatened that if he
came within gun-shot Of the house again to
put dose of cold lead into him. So the
wise but jealous Higdy kept out Of the
way.
There was a great reform in the manner
and habits of Thomas Blumbie, merchant
lie left his bachelor clubs, Notwithstanding
the jeers and taunts of his former compan-
ions, aud he became ciicumspect in his re-
marks on female character. For a number
OF months he spent his spare hours writing
to Mary and choosing appropriate gifts for
her, and for long time the Boston and p.
Express considered him one of their best
customers. But ere long there was a bril-
liant wedding-party at the house of Squire
Gay, and Il. lost its most charming belle,
Tor Miss Gay became Mrs. Blumble A
few weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Blumblo went
down to Rock Cove and visited the old
Blum bic homestead while there Mr.. Thorn
