Bitah Dispirtted-Eis Honor
Prescribes.

Bijah was looking down hearted and
dispirted as His Honor came in, and
the Judge slapped him on the back
and cheerily inquired:
" Any of your rich relations dead?'
q" I've had another bad dream" re-
piled the old janitor. q dreamed
last night of sitting on the fence and
seeing a white horse go by. That's
always a sign of death in the family"
=" Dreams are the result of nervous
ness. pain, deep thought and many
other things" replied His Honor.
You are not overly well. You need
something to stimulate and invigorate
your system"
" l know 1t; what had | best cet?"
Let me see your tongue"
q" Well, it's my opinion that a saw
buck dissolved in gallon of kerosene
and taken just before meals wonld
build you up fast" remarked His
Honor.
The old janitor got his tongue under
cover, and wiped his nose on the back
OF his hand and sauntered out doors
and told cross-eyed boy that if he
ever looked into the window again he'd
chain him to the dyrant and burn him
alive.

The Eureka pest house was stolen
last week. The theft has created quite
commotion among the Base Rangers.
Some Mexicans who were suspected
of being implicated in the stealing in
dignantly repudiate the base insinua
ton, and no clue has been found to the
thieves. This is the most remarkable
steal of the season. and seems worse
than getting away with a red hot stove.
1t was daring feat to encounter small
pox and other pestiferous diseases, and
it proves that Eurekans are equal to
anything.

THE Tax Collector of White Pine
county, according to the report of the
State Controller, collected only forty
two poll-taxes for the year 1874. al
though the county had voting popu-
lation of one thousand and fifty. Com
menting on the discrepancy the
News says: "All the other coun-
ties in the State collected a poll
tax to represent its voters. We
hope Assessor Williamson and
Deputy Comins will attend strictly
to this matter this year. There is no
good reason why this tax should not
be collected from every man."

DURING the last season, says the
Academy, Mr.. Bond, an Indian survey
or, while ut work in the Madras Pres
idency, to the southwest of the Palanei
Hills, managed to catch a couple of
the wild folk who live in the hill jun
gle of the Western Chats. These peo-
pie sometimes bring wax, honey and
sandal wood to exchange with the vii
layers for cloth, rice, tobacco and betel-
nut, but they are very shy. The man
was four feet six inches high; he had
round head, coarse, black, wholly
hair, and q dark-brown skin. The
forehead is low and somewhat retreat
ing, the lower part of the face project
ing like the muzzle of a monkey, and
the mouth which is small and oval,
with thick lips, protruded about an
inch beyond the nose; he had short,
handy legs, comparatively long body,
and arms that extended almost to his
knees; the back just above the buttocks
was concave, making the stern appear
to be much protruded. The hands and
fingers were dumpy and almost con-
tracted, so that they could not be made
to stretch out quite straight and fat;
the palms and fingers We're covered
with thick skin (more especially the
tips of the fingers; the nails were
small and imperfect, and the feet broad
and thick-skinned all over. The woman
was as tall as the man. the color of the
skin was of yellow tint, the hair black,
long and strait, and the features well
formed. This quaint folk occasionally
eat flesh, but feed chiefly on roots and
honey. They have no fixed dwelling
places, bat sleep on any convenient
spot, generally between two rocks, or
in caves near which they happen to
be benighted. Worship is paid to GER
tain local divinities of the forest.

WHAT Measure for Measure desig-
mates "a strange case, came up in the
Battle Mountain Court last week. It
says J. W. Alderman and "a party by
the name of johnson" complained that
Mr.. Emerson had proposed to them to
give tho best horse he had, if they
would take the life of j. H. Rose, of
Rock Creek; and told them how to do
the work; to find him at his irrigating
canal and hold him under the water
until he would float. The case came
up in Justices court. and Alderman is
still held-Rose at large on bonds for
malicious prosecution.

The Republicans of California are
exceedingly hard to please. George
G. Gorham, Secretary of the United
States Senate, and A. A. Sargent, a
member of that body, came all the way
from Washington Immediately after the
adjournment of Congress, to arrange
matters for their benefit, and have
spent months in selecting ticket and
framing resolutions, and yet the masses
of the patty are not satisfied. Those
eminent individuals, one of whom
holds Office at Washington by appoint
ment, and is really not citizen
of California, called State Con-
vention at the proper time and
place, ran it to suit themselves, and
saved the delegates much trouble
by selecting the candidates and franz
ing the resolutions, and yet there is
grumbling and dissatisfaction. The
ticket and platform are all, too, that
could be desired. A majority of the for
mer are known friends to the monop-
olies, while the resolutions are strongly
against them, having been drawn up
with great care to please the farmers
and merchants. 1t is really distressing
that the labors of unselfish individuals
like Gorham and company are not APP
preciated by the bulk of the Republi-
can party in California. 1t is too bad
that candidates nominated to suit cor
porations aud a platform framed ex-
pressly for the people, should receive
such chilling reception iu all parts of
the State. 1t is surprising that even
Republican journals not owned by the
monopolies should spurn and repudi-
ate the ticket and the platform
as the bastard conception of an alliance
of the monopolies and office-seekers.
These things are strange, but the most
astonishing of all is the attempt of
those who manipulated the Convention
to make the honest Republicans of
California father those paintings as
their own. They fiud, however, that
the people and the press are not SO
easily gulled as they imagined. and
the result of their combinations re-
veals its parentage so plainly that it
fails to deceive the most uusophisti-
Gated Republican in the Golden State.

The american orator" still lives
and was at the Mecklenburg centen-
NAL in all his glory. Hear him !:
I" This day. Ebal and Gerizim, Sinai
aud Calvary, Bethlehem and Jerusa-
lem, all rise fresh before our memories.
We have gathered around those old
affairs of freedom and hoisted the flood
gates of our joys. All the nurseries
of the land Ought to be made vocal
with Carolina's songs. aud our juven-
lie orators ought to make them ring
in scholastic defamation in the one
hundred and forty thousand schools

we were tearing the peoples from our
brows and adorning them with bays
and laurels."

The Constitutional Convention at

that in Braxton county things at this
time look gloomy. Heavy rains have
been falling daily for the last thirty
days, SO that tho wheat could not be
stacked, and what was considered not
more than third of q crop when cut,
has remained standing in shock in the
fields, and to.duy it is growing all over
the shocks three inches long, and at
least onc.half Of what was harvested is
rotted; in a word, our wheat crop is
total failure. The oats were excellent,
better than we have had for ten years,
but fully one-half Of them remain on
on the field not harvested, aud if The
rain continues Eve days longer, they
too, are gone. The corn is spindliDg
up 10 the weeds; much Of is has not
been worked since planting. still it has
nice color. and if We have a ho! sun
will yet make an average crop. The
grass is elegant, but like tho other
crops is thrown down by the heavy
rains, and sanded by the swollen
streams, and must soon rot il no sun
shines to dry up the earth. There is
not 500 bushels Of the old crop 10 my

Of October, 1895. When she was
quite young her father, Captain John
Norris, removed with bis family to
Lewis county, Virginia, where she
grew up to womanhood, and married
Mr. Godfrey lille, who was then a
citizen Of Randolph county, also in

pro mise, who, upon entering the stage
Of manhood, was called away to his
final resting place; thus whitening her
bright prospects Of his honors and her
happiness, aud causing sorrow to liuger
loug in her abole. Soon after this be.

rolled for support and comfort. was also
taken away, and thus tho golden chain
was broken which bound the family TO-
gether in earthly ties and she was left

but her own to steer her bark along the
current of life. She was physically
weak, but not wanting 10 courage

house rather than risk tho uncertain
