the cosuomeu oil "Ja!ier," seems des-
tined to take rank as a historical per-
souage along with Lazarus" and
"Bummer' OF San Francisco, and our
own lamented sKyzer." '.Jailer" Is by
no a a handsome dog. tar from 1t;
but what he lacks In personal attrac-
tions. lie makes up In natural goodness
OF heart. He has such winning ways
about him that Notwithstanding his
hsmeliness, he Is an established favor
ite with everybody, even to the most
vicious boy that he meets on the street.
Jailer has spent most of his time In
the County Jail. until he has got to re-
gard himself as the major domo Of the
establishment, the veritable Father
OF the Marshalsea." His specially
Is fires. When an alarm Of fire Is
sounded he makes u break for B street,
and il the door Of the Jail is closed
against him. he makes no bones at all
OF jumping through \ window. Arriv-
ed on the street, he watches patiently
to ascertain the direction taken by
No. As engine and governs his own
movements accordingly. During the
progress Of a fire he usually takes up
his position on ZONE commanding emf
nence and takes a general survey OF
the situation. never leaving his post
until the last spark Is extinguished.
An alarm Of fire in Virginia City last
evening caused Jaller n great deal of
perplexity. He first made his way at
the top Of his speed down e street to
Fitzmier's saloon, where No. SIS
steamer wa stationed, aud on discov-
ering that there was a heap Of smoke
and no fire, he dashed up c street
again to the Magnolia Saloon. In front
Of which No. as steamer had taken up
position. Meeting with no better luck
there, he hurried back to the Jail crest
fallen and communicated to his master
as plainly as he could BY the dog al
phabet the intelligence that There
was no fire after ALL"
PosrpoNEMENT OF THE PUBLIC LII
BRARY GIFT CoNcErT.-It will be seen
BY the announcement In our advertis-
lug columns that the third gift concert
OF the Public Library OF Kentucky,
which was to have taken place April s.
has been postponed until July s. This
postponemeht has not been occasioned
by the small sale OF tickets; OH the COLI
trary, the sales have been unusually
large-much larger than at either OF
the preceding concerts-so large, IN
deed, that thu time given BY this 9O-day
postponement will enable Gov bran-
istte to dispose Of every ticket aud in-
sure a full drawing without any reduc-
tion or scaling Of the gifts, as has here
tofore been the case. Gov. b. sees his
way so clearly that he announces In
the most positive and uneqnivocal Ian
gusge that the drawing will take place
July Sth and that 1t will be a full one.
The owner of the ticket drawing the
capital gift will get 800, 900 In green.
backs. without any discount, and so OF
all the other gifts. The money sutf-
cient to pay all the gifts-$ooo.Ooo IN
yreenbacks-is already on deposit In
the Farmers and Drovers' BanE set
apart for the payment Of the gifts and
can be used for no other purpose, az
will be seen BY the cashiers certificate.
With a knowledge Of these facts there
will be such q demand for the tickets
now on hand that in all probability
not a single one will be LETT for sale
weeks before the time of drawing.
