A correspondent OF the Philadelphia Press
finds reason to comment on the character
of life in San Francisco a. super heated, "a
in ceaeeless excitement, 40 working early
and late, and even violating the Sabbath,
a. allowing no time to eat but merely to
gulp their food, az wearing and tearing
human life away with railroad speed. BY
way of contrast to this, the writer gives
humorous description of the confusion in
watches caused by men undertaking to Get
them by the Merchsnts' Exchange tower
clock when it was being repaired, and adds
this felicitous little story about . case Of
sharp practice in Justice Ransom's court:
The other day two honorable and learned
attorneys, Smith and Regensber ger, were
on opposite sides in . trivial case, when
Smith took exceptions to the religion OF ke'
eeusberxer neither of them had any re-
lie:op to speak off, Tho latter said TINS
Was none of Smiths affair. Then smith
called Regensberges . lat year., 2. MI. MI. 9, |"
This cot Reesnsberger's blood up, and he
aseerted, in . demonstrative lmanner. that
Smith twas another. besides being
donkeyv' Then Smith was wroth in
deed. and angrily retorted, "YOu are
a smsll-eized puppy, sir" This brought on
| quick action Regensberger hurled volume
Of the "Civil Code" in very uncivil man
ner. at Smiths head. Smith, somewhat be-
| wildered by so much civil law being sud
| denly driven into his Uranium, grabbed the
] "Criminal Code" and SHE'D it with the pro-
| iectile force of Q cannon ball ct Regensoer-
| GERS upper story. Both parties, without
any further preliminary proceedings, rushed
together, Smith sending out his left mauler
| in such q scientific manner - to knock ms
opponents nose Halter than plank ke-
| gensberger got his feet under him a. soon
as possible, and reached fol Smiths long
hair, but failed, and got black eye. In
going down, however, he gave Smith
. whack in the abdominal regions,
which doubled him mp like . two
foot rule. BY this time the court room re
aemhled an old fashioned election. Every.
hody was either plaintiff or defendant, and
ready for . scrimmage. Justice Ransom
vse called upon, finally, to act - referee
and he gave his decision promptly. Smith
was required to pay SO, and Regenebergel
SO for the fun they had enjoyed. Both o.
the contestants were badly damaged and
in an utterly demorslized condition, look
ing as though they had been contemplating
the beauties of nature from the inside OF
threshing machine.

Large Families.

The Elmira GGsette says "The forth
coming census report of New York foi
1875 will contain some curious items. Nc
family has done more to increase the
population of the State than that of Peter
Moran, of Oswego. He is forty-tive
years old and his wife forty. They have
five single births and four pairs OF twins
recorded IL their family. The Oldest
child is twentyfour years old, and the
two youngest between two and tire
years. The single births all preceded the
twins. In the four pairs of twins there
are four boys and four girls. In Tully,
Onondaga County, there are triplets, two
boys and one girl, ten years old. In
Lociport there is quartet Of four girls
eight years old. Although the census
makes no note of the fact, there were
actually six children born at once in this
family, two of which have since died,
leaving the four as above noted. There
is in Walrensburg, Warren County, six
year-old boy, named Frank Conway, that
weighed i'll June last-when the census
was taken-11sf pounds.

American Titles.

Since the war the extraordinary null
DUPLICATION of " colleges" has made civil
ian titles as cheap as mihtary-let us be
thankful they are not hereditary. The
other day there was an account in the
papers of an "Illincis intercollegiate
contest, eight of the leading colleges in
the State participating" Think of eight
leading colleges in Illinois, TO say moth
ing OF the modestly subordinate ones
wonder how many readers of this page
ever heard Of five out of the multitudin-
Gus colleges of Illinois. Well, some
body has been showing rom the reports
of the Bureau of Education that there
are no fewer than 22S universities and
colleges" in our favored country, which
conferred last year $500 degrees in
course, and AL honorary degrees. This
was quite independent of the thirty-five
agricultural colleges, with their 1862 de-
grees, the sixty-five woman's colleges,
with their 5G3 degrees, the eighty one
medical schools, with their $50 degrees,
and in fine, total of $3.50 degrees in
course. In some of these institutions
tine comforting of scholastic degrees
amounts to mania. One of them ere
ated six doctors of law or divinity at q
GdioTy for January.

Bull Run Battlefield,

James Robinson (colored), the owner
of the Robinson House," on the Bull
Run tle-field, near Manassas, Va,
died a few days since. He witnessed
both of the memorable battles, remain
ing on his place with his family during
those terrible scenes of blood. His
house received hundreds of bullets, and
one solid twenty-four FOUNDER, which
went through bedroom, carrying
away one post of n bed upon which lay
a sick Confederate soldier. He witnessed
the deaths of Confederate Gems. Bee and

them, and up to the time of his death

Fearful Fight.

Three country boys named Cox, who
live in Usage County, Mo-, and run a
threshing machine, visited Koeltztown
recently to get some repairing done.
While III the village they managed to get
comfortably full, and INDUCED in little
fun with each other. The young men
are described as manly. inoiiensive boys,
courageous, polite aud generally liked,
but wild when drinking. While spar
ring and indulging in mimic set-to
among themselves Oh the street in front
of the blacksmith shop, German
CHANGED to pass between them and one
of the boys, i'll sport, knocked off his hat.
The German at once got mad and jumped
into the street, picking up stone to hit
the Cox boy who had knocked his hat
off. AS he was on the point OF throw
ing it, one of the brothers knocked him
down. Others passing, all Germans, and
seeing the fight and that young Cox was
getting the best Of it, joined in, and a
general attack on the three young men fol-
lowed. The fight became so general in
its character that nearly the whole Ger
man population assailed them, and two
of them, seeing the hopeless odds against
which they were contending, retired
from the fight. At this iuncture shoe
maker came to the scene and struck the
remaining Cox with q heavy neckyoke,
telling him disabled and bleeding to the
ground. The helpless victim was now
taken by the mob that had collected and
dragged over hill near the town where
he was whipped with switches and other
wise beaten, and finally left for dead
He was beyond medical assistance, and
died after lingering few hours. The
Cox boys did not retire until they had
inflicted some serious injuries, and it is
reported here that three of the Germans
have since died.

4 NaggiSh Lunatic.

People ND in the dead letter Office of
the Postoflice Department, says Wash
ington correspondent, are in very de-
pressed condition at present. The men
clerks mentally kick themselves i'll their
leisure moments to properly express
their sense of establishment, while the
women clerks let down their back hair
and scream with Indignation at every OPP
portunity. Some days ago very indig
nant letter from gentleman III New York
came TO the Postmaster General il which
the writer roundly abused the depart
ment for it's carelessness in neglecting to
forward two very valuable letters that he
had recently mailed. He inclosed the
two addresses to which they were to be
sent, and requested that the dead-letter
department would look through the dead
letters for them. These letters arrive to
the number of 1900 a day and are
stored away so that ut the end of the
month those which are not returned are
destroyed. Extra clerks were de-
tailed for the duty of comph-
ance with the New York mans
request, and the whole mass of
dead letters were carefully examined,
but the required letters We're not found.
The gentleman in New York was so no.
titled. He replied promptly, expressing
great regret at his letters not. being
found, and inclosed list of eight other
letters which he much desired to be
looked after. The complaisant Postoffico
authorities again ordered an extra force
of clerks to go over the dead letters, and
again fruitless result. A second reply
was sent to the New Yorker, detailing
the absence of any satisfactory result Of
the second search. To this there came
n reply inclosing demand for a search
for fifty missing letters. Some of the
names III the addresses iuclosed were
highly original ana most complicated in
their construction. Upon receipt of this
formidable list, the department people
began to think something was wrong.
An inquiry was instituted concerning
the writer in New York, when it was dis
covered that he was man of wealth and
family, who had been insane for some
years. Any one in the future requiring
any favors of the Dead Letter Office will
have to furnish proofs OF their sanity in
advance.

An Old Settler.

A correspondent writing from Lamont,
Ottawa County, Mich, says: A very old
man has been discovered here Ill the
person of VIM. O'Gorman. He has been
living with a daughter of Mrs. Finnes-
sey, who is rs years of age, and has sew
eral older brothers. O'Gorman was
born in Ireland, it is claimed, in June,
III, came to America in 1923; in 1882
moved TO Detroit, and in 1874 to this
county. So active is he that last year he
was offered 81 day for his labor, which
shows that a man 104 years old may be a
worker. SO long has the old man stayed
that his relatives are getting discouraged,
and last week made an application to
Supervisor Dewitt for aid in his support.
But when he heard that he got spunky
and is now putting up shanty for him
self, saying that he must not live on the
town nor support his "good- -nothin'
childer any more, bedad."
