Ex-Shertn John Kelly ON the Situation.
Mr.. John Kelly, ex-SheriY Of the county, returned
from Europe last Monday, and If he has had any
time to himself since his arrival he should feel
under no obligations to the local politicians who
claim his personal acquaintance. All the big and
little fry have been after him since he put foot
ashore. His house and his once have been be-
sieged by great many people, whose particular
interest In the health OF Mr.. John Kelly is meas
ured by q sense Of his prospective power and
patronage In the future Of municipal poll
tics. There Ia vague and not alto
gether unreasonable idea In the minds
Of those who give any attention to the drift OF city
politics that Mr.. Kelly is the coming man, and that
his dictum win be the law Of the party In the ap-
preaching struggle. Tweed, Connolly, sweeny
ana the rest have Deen swept on the boards, and
ara lost to sight and memory ~ completely a. II

M. Paschen directs attention to the
unreliabiiity of astronomical photo
graphs, owing to the shrinkage of col
lodian films, to which Mr.. Rutherfurd
adds the changes caused in wet plates
by the cooling that attends on the
evaporation during exposure. These
sources of error might readily be avoid
ed by a return to the use of metallic
silver surfaces, which, for all applica-
tions requiring accuracy, are far super
ior to collodion films.

The Case of MIR. CoIfax--A Very
Important Piece of Testimony.

The New York Star, a strong Demo-
cratic paper, and a bitter enemy of
Vice-President Colfax, contains the
following, which is certainly of the
highest importance, tending, as it does,
to vindicate Mr.. Colfax completely;
In spite of the terrible weight of evil
denee against Mr.. Colfax, we believe
that every fair minded man would be
glad to see some honorable way by
which the Vice-President could extri-
cate himself from his embarrassment.
His story about the 81, 900 bill was very
fishy, but yesterday a reporter was
sent to interview the Nesbitt family
about the affair. He found one of Mr..
Nesbitt's sons, and casually remarked
that "Mr. Nesbitt's name was some
what prominently brought out in the
newspapers, and received this reply,
which contains a somewhat important
bit of testimony in favor of Mr.. Col
fax: "Yes, indeed and what Mr..
Colfax says is true, for mother says
she remembers my father telling her
at the time that he had sent that mon.
ey on to him." On mentioning this
to ex-Recorder James NJ. Smith, that
excellent criminal lawyer remarked
that it was a most important piece of
evidence, and added at once, when he
was running for public Office, Mr..
Nesbitt, with whom he had at that
time mere bowling acquaintance, had
sent him check for 800 in the same
manner. Mr.. Nesbitt was warm per-
sonal admirer of Mr.. Colfax,
1t was expected to have been able
to add the testimony of Mrs. Nesbitt,
but it could not be procured in time
for this issue. The evidence of the
son, however, is undeniably important.
If Mrs. Nesbitt should confirm his
statement, it will be seen that gross
injustice has been done to one part O
Mr.. Colfax's defense.

Only a Little Stretched.

Californians are immense boosters. The
following is only little exaggerated
above what any enthusiastic Califor-
nian will say and swear to, and swear
at you if you don't believe it:
Dan Marble was once strolling along
the wharves in Boston, when he met a
tall, gaunt-looking figure, "digger"
from California, and got into converse
ton with him. "Healthy? 1t amt
anything else. Why, stranger, there
you can choose any climate you like,
hot or cold, and that, too, without trav-
elm more than fifteen minutes. Jest
think O. that the next cold morning
when you get out o. bed. There is a
mountain there-the Sary Nevady they
call it-with a valley on each side of it,
one hot and one cold. Well, get on
top of that mountain with a double.
barreled gun, and you can, without
movin', kill either summer or winter
game, jest as you wish" "What! have
you ever tried it?" "Tried it? often,
and should have done very well but
for one thing. 1 wanted a dog that
would stand both climates. The last
dog I had froze his tail off while pin
TIM on the summer side. He didn't
get entirely out of the winter side, you
see; true as you live" Marble sloped.

DEGRACEFUL-NiEht before last when
the train on tho G. & P. Railroad reached
Portland, about ten miles above Bridge
port, o disgrGceiul scene was enacted. A
number Of roughs had congregated at the
station, and no sooner had conductor
Zimmerman stepped from the train to the
platform than no was brutally assaulted.
So forcibly was he struck by ono Of the
roughs that he fell senseless TO the ground.
The brakemen ran TO the rescue, but the
crowd was too much for their small mum.
beers. MIR. Zimmerman was taken up and
placed In the baggage car, and the train
was FASTENED of, not, however, before
one or two Of tho brakemen had been
struck and rendered hatless, As tho train
moved of the vRndals amused themselves
in breaking the glass III the car windows,
much to the CONSERVATION OF the passen-
gers. Mr. Zimmerman Is one Of the most
Rentlemanly and courteous conductors
on the road, and no cause beyond unmItl.
gated devHtFY can be assigned for the
brutal assault. We hope to hear Of tho
arrest and punishment OF the offenders.
