A NEW PLANr.-Some years ago, John
Domingos imported several Cape Jessa-
mines from Georgia, and they were set
out in different partitions of the city.
Yesterday some of them blossomed in
the garden of Mr.. Crump on N street.
between Fourth and Fifth. and their
beautiful snow-white flowers attracted
the attention and admiration of all pas
sers-by, all of whom concurred in the
opinion that they were the most beauti-
ful flowers in the State. Domingos has
one of the jessamines in blossom at the
Orleans Saloon. He has imported $50
Of the plants this year. and as it has
been proven that they thrive well in our
soil and climate they Will doubtless Or
nament every garden i'll the city, espe-
cially as in addition to their beauty
they merit the most delicious fragrance
of any flowers known in the United
States Sacramento Herald.

Supreme Court, to which body the mat

no further than to decide that they can
not recognize any other body as the Sem

presides. This is a recognition of the
validity Of a body in which the Demo-
Gratis are in the majority. Doubtless
that majority was obtained by fraud. but

How Do You Measure Wood 2

A singular and interesting case is
being tried here before Justice Ming.
It appears that a wood-cutter took q
contract to cut and deliver a certain
amount of wood to the coal kilns of the
blast-furnace situated here. The con-
tractor delivered the wood in proper
shape, but in measuring it a dispute
arose between the company's agent and
the contractor, the contractor claiming
that the agent did not measure it ac-
curately. Upon presenting his bill to
the company, it refused to pay him for
any more than what the agent had made
it by his measurement. Law was
resorted to, competent judges, among
whom were engineers, were employed
to inspect and re-measure it but they
differed in regard to the amount to
something like one hundred cords. In
measuring the length, some did SO from
one-third of the distance from where
the chamfer begins to the tip end of the
stick to the same distance on the other
end, while others measured from one
half of the length of the chamfer, and
others from the tip of one end of the
stick to where the chamfer begins on
the other end. In the pile there are in
the neighborhood of $50 cords. By
computation it will be found that one
inch of the end of the wood will amount,
in the number of cords given above, to
nearly twenty. Now it is evident that
the three methods used will vary quite
materially as to the length of the wood,
and greatly as to the number of cords
but which is correct ?-Appletosa Cor.

Tom Sanders Bet.

Tom Sanders, of Buffalo, owns little,
lazy, slow mare, that is the ridicule of
his friends. One recent evening he and
some of these friends were talking of
horses. when he astOnished them by
Offering to bet 800 that he could ride
his mare twenty miles in an hour. He
counted out the money In tantalizing
way, remarking that his mare had been
laughed at long enough, and he had
made up his mind to show what she
could do. It seemed like robbing him,
SO they all said, to take his bet, but he
insisted, and the stakes we're put into
Trustworthy hands. A day was chosen
for the trial, and when it came Tom led
them to the Central railroad depot,
where the homely little mare was found
aboard baggage car. Tom had tick
eted her for Rochester by express, and
when the train was ready to start he
got on her back, smiling triumphantly.
He said he reckoned that he could ride
that way twenty miles in an hour, un-
less the timetable Lied. Away went
the train with the referee holding the
watch, and the three fellows who had
joined in the bet against the mare
very sorrowful of expression. About
fifteen miles had been run in about halt
an hour, and Tom was grinning in an
ticipation Of easy victory, when the car
| bumped over something, and he was
thrown off the mare, by hastily applied
| air brakes. An axle had broken, and
the train was stopped for more than an
hour. And Tom was not So rueful over
| the loss of the stakes and the failure OF
| his trick as he was over his stupidity In
| not thinking of taking the mare off the
cars and riding the rest of thetwenty
| miles, as there had been ample time to
| do within the hour.

New State Project Revived.

The project of . separate State, to
include the Upper Peninsula of Michi-
gan is strongly urged again by the Mar
quette Mining Journal, which ridicules
the idea of being detached from Michi-
gan and becoming part of Wisconsin,
or annexing part of Wisconsin to form
the new State. It dislikes the existing
position of IS depending upon the State
that has no interest in common with the
Upper Peninsula" and says, 1.-THE
20, 600 people ask separate govern
ment, with local Legislature and q
delegate to Congress, for the encourage
ment of manufacturing industries and
the development of mineral and other
resources that are without parallel. =

the other hand, isopposed to any :. one
horse Territorial scheme" and calls the
