Ir is our pleasure cditorially to call attention
to the Removal Card of DIR. W. ]. Paugh, one
of San Franciscos brightest lights, not only as
an oculst and aurist, in which he has no supe-
rior on this coast, but as being au fat" in all
other branches Of his profession.
1t is beginning to be understood now that a
successful specialist" either of the eye, ear.
or any portion Of the human anatomy, requires
a thorough physician and surgeon, all of which
we can guarantee the DIR. to be.

A dilapidated stranger came into the
Office yesterday morning, and with an
air of profound mystery confided to us
the information that he was quite
wealthy, and great collector of Cen
tennial relics. but being temporarily
embarrassed and away from home, he
wished to dispose of shirt that Wash
ington had one worn, for 81 rs. He
showed us the i'irt, but rs it appeared
to be the only one that Washington
ever had, and that he had worn it with
great assiduity for couple of hundred
years, we hesitated about investing.
The man said:
"You won't give me 81 IS for shirt
that was once worn by the Father Of his
Country ?"
We said no at least not unless he
could bring us affidavits to show that
the Father of his Country washed his
neck at least twice during the Revolu-
tionary war, and that the tint on the
neck-band O. the relic was caused by its
being used as washer for the linch-pin
of Centennial cannon.
"You can stand there" the man said /,
"and look at this priceless bit of linen,
venerable with the dust of ages and the
darkening stains of Times indelible
pencil, and not feel your heart burn
and throb and your eyes grow dim and
misty with the memory of Valley Forge
and Lundy's Lane, and the battle of the
Nile You can stand there and refuse
to give 81 IS for this sacred emblem? 2"
We blushed, and felt very much dis
concerted, but the truth was strong
within us, and we managed to indicate
that we would even refuse to give a
greater sum for it.
"Then," he said, twill you lend me
fifty cents on it, and keep it for me un-
til send You draft for $50 from New
York;"
We had to say that we would not ac-
cept the trust. He tucked the sacred
emblem under his arm and closed his
eyes for q moment, and then lifted his
eyes to heaven.
a" My rebuke is just" he said solemn
ly," and am highly rebuffed and in
suited. trampled my manhood, honof
and convictions in the dust when l Of
fered this talisman of liberty to alien
hands for base dross: l go; l may
starve may die in the street but |
never will part or offer to part with it
again; will die with it in my clinging
arms, and when am dead You will find
Washington written on my heart"
He went. We watched him disappear
down the stairs, and then we went to
the alley window and saw him go back
into an adjacent wood shed, where he
peeled his closly-buttoned coat, and in
serted himself into the talisman of lib
erty. And he was seen no more. -Bnr-

A HAWK AMONG HEXs.-Gilbert
White tells a most dramatic story of .
neighbor who had lost most Of his
chickens by a sparrow-hawk that came
gliding down between q faggot pile and
the end of his house to the place where
his coOps stood. The owner, vexed to
see his flock diminishing, hung a net
between the pile and the house, into
which the bird dashed and WAS en-
tangled. The gentleman's resentment
suggested fit retaliation; he therefore
clipped the hawks wings, cut off his
talons, and fixing q cork on his bill,
threw him down among the brood.hens.

not paint the scene that ensued; the ex-
pressions that fear, rage and revenge in
spired were new, or at least such rs had

from that city on . visit OF pleasure and business

Many expressed themselves asto iahed that

water when the proper accommodations aud
comforts were gu nanteed them.

swiftly and gracefully by the navy yard and forts
out into The Gulf of Mexico, she WAS greeted on
all sides with ordinations OF admiration. Col.

live colony representing about sew
enty persons, who are commonly called
Mormons. They are an offshoot from
the Mormon Church. Their first prophet
was one Morris, who was killd by old

VIRGINIA. POLITICS.
IChicaRn Timea.l

The political situation in Virginia is
now highly interesting. The two ques-
tions to be settled at the convention in
Richmond next week are, first, whether
Malone, who Is in favor OF repudiating
part Of the State debt, shall be NOM
mated for Governor, or some other man
who is not In favor OF reputation
second, whether the administration Of
President Hayes shall be squarely in
dorsed. Malone is very strong and is
still gaining, but the anti-repudiation-
lists are making an earnest fight.
He is making very bold canvass,
and the well-informed Virginia pol
iticians think that he may bolt IL
he is not nominated. He is in
favor of indorsing Hayes, and the
Petersburg Post. his principal organ,
has said several times lately that this
Endorsement should be full and COM
plete one. 4 prominent Virginia Re
publican says that the question Of what
the Republicans will do depends entirely
on whether the Administration is in
dorsed. II the Bourbons triumph over
the Liberal Democrats and prevent this,
then some Hayes Democrat will prob
ably be nominated in opposition to the
regular Democratic candidate. He
thinks, however, that the Democratic
convention will indorse Hayes hand
somely.

In regard to that gentleman while in

his poor lodgings In an obscure corner of

rather than from q desire for conceal
ment. So poor was he that former
acquaintance of Mr.. Hall. who met him
soon after his arrival in London. inter-
ested himself In his behalf and endeav-
ored to secure for him some employ
ment. Mr.. Edmund Yates, editor Of the
London W0rld, was applied to, and,
after listening to the story OF Mr.. Hall,
agreed, upon this PERSONS representa-
tions, to give him some work to do, al
though he had grave doubts about Mr..
Halls ability to do literary work &C.

journal. Just as an appointment had
been made for Mr.. Hall to- call upon
Mr. Yates, the American mails arrived,
bringing the New J ork papers contain
ing Tweed's confession. In this confess
sion was the statement that Mr.. Hall
had received ten per cent or the profits
of the ring frauds. This was stag
gerer to both the gentlemen mentioned,
who had believed, up to that time, that
Mr.. Hall was at least innocent OF having
taken any Of the proceeds of the frauds.
They were placed in rather an awkward
position, but Mr.. Hall, with his rare in
tuition, seemed to know that they
would be 80 placed. failed to keep
his engagement with them, and
almost Immediately disappeared from
London. The impression is now very
strong among the few in London who
take any interest in the matter that Mr..
Hall Is In the employ of James Gordon
Bennett, in the East, probably at Con-
stantinople. John Russell Young, how
ever, knows nothing of any such en-
ployment of Mr.. Hall. In Paris the
informant met Mr.. Bennett and asked
him casually in regard tc Halls where
