Some New Reporters' First Efforts.

Some New Reporter First Efforts.
Local items of news with any alb
sorbing interest attached to them
being somewhat scarce yesterday, our
reporter concluded that he was I'M
equal to the task of presenting an at
tractiye local department this morn
ing. Accordingly he determined to
increase the staff entirely on his own
responsibility, in the hope Of fruit
full results in the form of y variety, at
least, Of information. Experienced
journalists being not available, the re-
porter sought amoag the gentlemen
Of the town who have liking for
literature until he found Professor
James and A. B. Stewart. These gen.
tlemeH volunteered, il the interest of
journalism. and in consideration of
carte blanche to represent the paper
on any occasion or emergency that
might arise, to proceed to Gold Hill
and catch whatever of local nature
might be floating there on the cur
rent of passing events. After an alb
sencc of three or four hours they re-
turned and wrote up their reports.
They were dusty, tired and careworn,
but dashed off the items with celer-
ity that would have done credit to
old hands. The Professor proved
himself more judicious newsgsther-
err than his companion reporter, as a
perusal Of the two reports will show.
We present them just as they were
written, b,sinning with Professor
James:
| EXCITING BOVINE CAPERS.
| While couple of representatives
of THE TIMES were meandering
peacefully toward Gold Hull yester-
day their attention was suddenly ar
rested by the appearance in the road
before them of an excited quadrup.d
OF the bovine species, led by Mil
esian member of the genus homo.
There wonld have been nothing strik
ing in this circumstance, and surely
nothing to warrant an expert
enced reporter in taking aut
his note book before COW
and man, but tor the singular action
each performed. An ordinary hemp
rope joined the two. being fastened
to the horns of the exciteu COW and
held firmly by the hands of the irate
Irishman. AS they tugged away
against the mementary inertia of
each other, the reporter was
forcibly reminded of the natural
law of momentum ST. beautifully
amplitied by Professor LIE Conc Of
the California University. To
pause and observe how the COW in
sisted upon going this way while
her master brought all his muscles
to the utmost tension to haul her
III that. brought to mind the wide
difference OF opinion noticeable in
the theory o: prescription in laud
maintained in the Political Econo
my of Mill and the Social States
of Spencer. Likewise, too,
when the enraged COW and the
equally disturbed man ran across
the road and back, always at an
acute angle, describing figure
something like that which illus
trates the principles OF the radius
vector, the reporter was reminded
of the Law of Deviation from an
Average, SO ably and logically set
forth by Francis Gallon. At length
the COW was pacified. even as u tru-
ant child at school, and walked
quietly away.

Never attempt to drive q cow
Unless you're sure that you know how.
1t is needless to say that Profess
sor James will hereafter be retained
on all special occasions of reporting
for The TINES, even ii the Public
School for the time being has to go
without a Principal.
We take pleasure in appending
the production of Mr.. Stewart on
the same occasion
SHOCKING MARITAL CONDUCT.
The nerves Of people who passed
along the road between this and
Gold Hill yesterday afternoon
must have received q sudden
aud quite unwholesome shock
by the appearance at the door
Of house in the vicinity of
the Pappoose Mill of a woman whose
person from the diaphragm upward
was almest wholly exp 'sed to view.
In point of absolute fact, the whole
