'Tilers," and "Thatchers," and "Slaters, >

"Cartwrights,' with numberless others.
We have said that "Smth" heads the let
of occupations both in town and country,
and so 1t well may, for 1t ment, originally,
any kind of artifcer, and not merely a
worker in metal, but even in wood. There
were "blacksmiths, F." who wrought 10 iron;
"brownsmiths," who worked IN copper;
"whitesmiths, in tin and la.ten. and red
smiths, in gOld-our modern goldsmiths
Besides these, there we're "shoesmiths, u
another term for Carriers; ~. 'knifesmiths,"
or cutters, and locksmiths, as we use the
term now. 1n general, the informa ton as
to occupations in town and country might
be thrown under one head, as in many ca
ses they are Indentical, but as distinction,
it may be stated that the country names
are in many cases rather concerned with
the production of the raw metal, while
those in the town are taken from trades
and manufactures

the queen for trump, Returning in a

conceived the brilliant idea of playing the

it to Bill, who consented, proridea that lie

The Alta California opens its account of
an assassination thus "The week dawns
upon the city as did the last past, bathed
in blood drawn from murdered man; an
other human sacrifice inundated on the al.
ter of Moloch: another unprepared soul sent
into eternity by the cold blade of a fellow
being A week ago two human beings
walked across the threshold of death: the
murderer and suicide hand in hand with
his victim, and since then without e.oep-
ton. not day in our city's history has
been permitted to be written without being
sealed in blood, so that this particular
chapter becomes, perhaps, the darkest Ct
al its years
