The Spelling Match.

The second spelling match last
night was we'll attended and was on
the whole a success. Messrs. Smith
and Briefly were chosen captains, and
after considerable time wasted in Civ
ing excuses for not spelling,sa, class
was formed. and the fun began, DIR.
Lucky pronouncing the words. He
commenced by giving some ordinary
words, which had very little effect on
the wary, spoilers. By request, Mr..
in spelling book and handed it to
the Doctor. This had the desired eff
feet. :" Dessiccation" proved a STUN
bling block to five of the spoilers.
"Quadrilateralp induced as many
more to retire, and the few survivors
were requested to spell" charivari J"
Mr.. Newbill objected; objection over
ruled by DIR. Lucky, and Mr. Newbill
retired withouta struggle. Mr.. s. p.
Smith managed to get through it
safely. This left the contest between
Mr.. Smith and Miss Minnie Hall, a
pupil in one Of our public schools. Mr..
Smith, gallantly mis-spelled "reprieve''
leaving Miss Hall the victor. An in
termission of 80 minutes was then an
nounced, during which the audience
were favored with some fine singing
and the ice.cream and cake were at

insane.

= T.
The champion whistler was arrested
yesterday on the charge of insanity.
An investigation into the case by DIR.
Mckee, the city physician, proved a
curious state Of mental alteration.
The mans name is Michael Joseph
Mclaughlin, and he emanates from
Five Points, New York. His family
history, it seems, is badly clouded,
three of his sisters having been in
mates of house Of refuge and himself
a graduate from Blackwelps Island.
The mans mind was clear enough to
furnish these points in his history, but
otherwise it was completely wrecked.
He claimed to be the Goddess of Lib
erty, and said he had taken refuge in
Los Angeles as the only green spot on
earth, the rest having been burned up.
His mania took a curious turn, as our
readers already know. For several
days he promenaded through the city,
taking the middle of the street, walk
ing with rapid gait and all
the time whistling at high
key with all the wind he could
muster. He is now confined in the
city jail, and will doubtless be brought
before the County Judge in few days
for commitment to the State Lunatic
Asylum. ssI = it.aA .ssnaak ao.I

Another Tract In the Market.

e 70 ar
We are pleased to call attention to
the advertisement of the Washington
tract ofcity lots, which appears in an
other column. This tract possesses
great advantages over many of the
land projects which have been offered
to the public. The Spring and Sixth
street railroad runs almost to it, the
furthest portion of q the tract being
within 500 feet of the terminus A
beautiful and easy drive will be made
by way of Temple, Hope and Third
streets in q few days, as only one
small gulch will have to be crossed,
and MayorGBeaudry, the owner of the
tract, with his characteristic energy,
will have this filed up before the day
of sale. Water, in inexhaustible
quantities, can easily be supplied from
the Beaudry reservoir, with pressure
of over 100 feet. We doubt not that
the owner will pipe the water to this
locality in a short time. Beautiful
residences are already quite numerous
in thir portion of our city and with the
generous supply of water which Mayer
Beauary can easily furnish no finer
building sites or more desiorus neig h.
borhOod can be found.

We saw at the bookstore of Lewis
Levin, yesterday, a crayon portrait OF
Mr.. f. p. F. Temple, which was of re-
markably accurate execution and true
to life in every feature. 1t was drawn
by Mrs. Millen, wife of General f. F.
Millen, late a resident of our city.
This talented lady is acquiring an en-
viable reputation as an artist, and we
understand that she has number of
orders ahead to- furnish portraits for
other prominent men of our city.

ed last night ON the occasion of the
third appearance of the Alleghanians
in our city Phe' programme was
changed from the previous evenings,
introducing many new and attractiv e
parts. But the main interest centered
as before in the bells, the musical
tumblers and the silver cornet band.
Such exquisite music, one never tires
of hearing but learns better to appre-
ciate at each repetition The sing

Sam Collins performed his funnyisms

A novel funeral procession passed
the city yesterday en- rout for the Gem

the first of which contained the eorpes,
that Of Mexican child-and the pa
rents of the deceased; in the second
were four musicians two violinistS
and two drummers-and of the third
contained about dozen friends of the
family. Arrived at Wolfenstein's
Photographic gallery the procession
halted, the corps was taken into the
gallery and a photograph Of the dead
child secured, together with a groupe
of four young ladies who stood above
it. The solemn cortage then reformed
and proceeded to the cemetery where
the remains were deposited.

ANOTHER SENSATIONAL REPoRI.-Cap-
tain Drake. who is in town, showed us
a telegram last evening from lIr. Liddle,
one of the commissioners of White Pine,
stating that Shoshone Indidian, Just
arrived in Hamilton. brought news of a
fight on White river. in which two white
men and one Indian were killed. Mr..
Liddle seemed to credit the report at
all events he implored Captain Drake to
hurry up the guns sent from Austin des-
tined for the use of Hamiltonians. We
hardly credit the story, for the reason
that had there been a fight the Indian in
question would not have been likely to
venture into town. The most probable
thing is that this particular brave has
got some of the troubles further to the
eastward improperly located.-ETeka

RETTER THAN GOLD.

Better than grandeur, better than goid,
rhan rank and title thousand told,
) a healthy body, a mind at ease,
md simple pleasures tnat always please;
heart that can feel for neighbor's woe
Md share the Joys with genial glow.
With sympathies large enough to en1ola
All men as brothers, Is better than goio.
Retter than gold is conscience clear,
Though toiling bread in an humble sphere;
d. nhv hest with content and health,
Jntrled by the lust Of cares or wealth.
Lowly living and lofty thought
Adorn and enpoble poor mans cot;
For man and morals OF natures plan,
Are the genuine test Of gentleman.
BETTER than gold is the sweet repose
Of the sons Of toll when their labors close'
better than gold is the poor mans sleep
And the balm that drops on his slumber oeep.
Bring sleeping draughts to the doWny pea,
Where luxury pillows his aching head
His simpler opiate labor deems
A shorter road to the land OF dreams.
Retter than gold is thinking mind
That in the realm of books can find
A treasure SURPRISING Australian ore,
And live with the great and good OF yore;
The sage's lore and the poets lay,
The pl0ries OF empires past away;
The worlds great drama will thus entold
And Weld pleasure better than gold
Retter than gold is peaceful home,
Whore all the fireside ch arities come;
The shrine of love and the heaven OF lite,
Hallowed by mother, or sister, or vile.
However humble the home may be,
Or tried by sorrow with Heavens dec ee,
The blessings that never were bought or sold
And centre there, are better than gold.

THE WHEAT MARKET.

Our remarks last week have called out
n letter from Schroeder L LiEdblom,
which we give elsewhere. We take issue
with them as to our crop having been
enormous. It fell 33 per cent. below an
average crop We refer to the letter OF
Hon. j. w. Burnham Of Plainyiew, pub.
lished some weeks since, for proof OF this.
We refer to the experience of all our
farmers. Our own fields, which averaged
20 bushels in 1873, fell to IL bushels in
1874. Schroeder & Co. refer to Great
Britain. Belgium, Holland and the West
Indies as the only countries importing
wheat. They forget Italy, Portugal,
Spain. Switzerland and South America.
They count the visible supply IN the
United States, 100000 bushels, as
ssurplus.'' They forget that out of an
average wheat crop in the United States
of 3OO,OOO,0O0 bushels, our own people
eat up 24O,OOO,OO0 bushels. Those H.,
100000 bushels will probably be needed
every bushcl. for home consumption.
If the N. w. wheat crop was so enor
nous, as claimed, why have only a.
O44, ,22l bushels reached Milwaukee from
Aug. 20, 1874 to May 22d, 1852 months
against 24,753,l l65 bushels, in the sam
, period the year before! For the weel
ending May %, 1873, the receipts int
Milwaukee we're 374,520 bushels agains
1851 bushels in same week In 1874
while the shipments were 977 ,O30 bushel
/, in 1875 against 750,S77. Does this lool
like vast surplus or lack Of demands
