Hard Pencil Mischief.

An Indiana editor advises peO-
pie against using a a hard pencil,
and goes on to tell why. His wife
desired him to write a note to a
lady, inviting her to meet a party
of friends at her house. After
Hubby" had done as his wife
desired, and started. to post the
note, she saw on another piece of
paper an impression of what he
had written. 1t was:
"Sweet Mattie-Efie desires
your company on Wednesday, to
meet the Smithers. Don't fail to
come; and, my darling, l shall
have the happiness of a long walk
home with you, and a sweet good
night kiss. l dare not see you
often, or my all-consuming love
would tetTay us both. But, Mat
tie, dear, DON'T fail to come.

Murder.

NEW YORK, November 3.-The
contest between James O'Brien
and Abraham H. Hewett, both
Democrats, for Congress, in the
Tenth District, eliminated in a
murder, this morning. 1t seems
that O'Brien and Coroner Richard
Croker met at the polling place
and entered into an exciting dis
cussion. 1t is reported that both
drew their revolvers slmulta-
neousIy. One ofO'Brien's friends
James McKenna, jumped between
them, but received a shot in the
head from Coroner Crocker's re-
volver. He was taken to the hos.
pital in a dying condition, and
Crockett was arrested and taken
to the police station. There is
great excitement in the district
and az extra police force has been
sent there from the general head
quarters. Serious trouble is ex'
pected before the closing Of the
polls, and this shooting has en-
FILTERED the fued.
James McKenna, the victim oil
Coroner Croker, died at half-past

Woman's Sphere.
From the Chicago Tribune

Recently in London a gentle
man was attacked at an early hour
in the evening by a number of
women, one of whom felled him
by skillful blow under the ear.
While in this PROSTATE condition,
the remainder of the victims of
Tyrant Man went through him as
speedily and completely as any
OF Mike McDOnald's gang could
have done it, and got away before
the police arrived. AS it is one
of the cardinal principles of the
woman's movement that woman
ought to be allowed to do what
ever she could do as well as man
and that the Tyrant Man has no
right to monOpolize business of
any kind, we presume it is out of
order to offer objections to this
particular effort of the weaker
sex to enfranchise themselves.

Desperate Encounter.

Captain Fl. B. Colbey,an old sea
captain and also an old hunter and
sportsman, narrowly escaped
death while out hunting near
Calistoga. The Press says: "It
appears that he shot and wound
ed large buck; the animal fell
and the Captain supposing him
MORALLY wounded, went up to it
and cut his throat. The wound
ed animal rallied and attacked
the Captain, when a desperate
tussle ensued; the deer furlousiy
attempting to gore the hunter
with his horns. The scene where
the conflict first commenced was
on a small plateau, but soon the
cOmbatants neared a slope OF the
mountain, where both tOppled
over and fell and rolled down
steep declivity some thirty or
forty feet. Regaining his feet
first, Captain COlbey opened on
the deer with a revolver. The
buck, getting upon his feet, again
renewed the fight with his ant
lers, but finally the Captain got in
a 'centre shot" and came out
victorious, not. however. without
receiving numerous Wounds about
his person. The CAPTAIN, as we
before remarked. is All OLD nun
ter, but we doubt if he is particu-
larry anxious for just such anoth-
er encounter. His deership on
being weighed, pulled down the
beam at one hundred an thirty
pounds, and was one Of the larg-
est ever killed in this section of
country."-AJt0 California.

Joe Skewers, q white gentle =
man of Mississippi, got drunk at
Meridian the other day, and saw
a colored lady at a well. Skewers
imagined that he was Jacob and
she Rachel, and concluded to in

She wanted to shave muffin to
do with poor, drunken white
trash. " Mr.. Skewers gently
knocked her down. She "riz !"

staggered back. and = down he
went to the bottom of the well.
When they got him out his wife

PHILIP plaza came IL u lew
day ago from San Diego with a
wagon load of most excellent fruit,
embracing peaches, grapes apples,
etc., which fruit he sold at the
low price of Is cts. per tb. The
grapes were very plump, after
being hauled near two hundred
miles. But we would here adj
wise all persons packing grapes
for transportation not to use pine
saw-dust in packing. Pine i'm
parts a turpentine or rosin taste to
the grapes, which is very disa-
greeable to some people. Red
wood saw-dust is the only kind
known that is fit to pack grapes
in, because it does not impart any
kind of foreign taste to the grapes.

ADJOURNED Congress adjourned
last Tuesday, without accomplishing
much for any part of the country.
Speaking of the adjournment the
Neics says; "Mr, Mitchell, the Sena-
tor in accord with the dominant party,
the friend Of Cameron and Morton,
the protege of the WiIliamsos, the
hope of Oregon, will return with all
tho honors Of his many legislative
achievements thick upon him, to his
open armed constituency, Who can
doubt it? He has secured the re.
moyal Of Gibbs and of Tom Young;
he succeeded in getting 100000 tor
Ben Simpsons Land Office, and the
Railroad bill passed, With a little
more time he would doubtless have
secured an appropriation to buy his
friend Fisk's assay office, If ho had
not already got it slowed away in
some corner of some BILL" Truly
Mitchells achievements in the last
Congress furnish an unanswerable ar.
gument in favor OF always sending a
man TO Washington who is in full ao-
cord with the dominant partyl lie
has done SO much for oregon--in

MARK TWAIN is out in an essay in
favor Of woman suffrage. He says
"as Adam ate of the appleand laid it
on Eve, thus showing himself to be a
coward, Eve ought to vote il Adam
didP Then, we say, as Eve shifted
the blanc from her own shoulders on
to the serpent, by the same line of
reasoning the snake ought to be al
lowed to vote il Eve votes. And as
the serpent alluded to is understood
to have been the Devil, then every
body should be allowed to vote, from
