THE JACKSON uouse-

This elegant hUstelry will be thrown
open to the public to-day. In all Its
appointments and equipments it has
no superior In the State. There may
be other buildings larger and more
pretentious, but on none has more
care been bestowed or labor expended
thar this structure. The rooms are
light and airy, the ceilings high, the
polished walls Of dazzling wilderness.
ana the furniture first class i'm ever
particular. From roof to cellar every
part shows the machsnics' skill, and
mason, carpenter and painter have
united In a friendly rivalry to add a
house to our town that would be a
credit to the Base Range. The most
casual observer can see that they have
succeeded. As almost everybody in
Eureka a visited the premises al
ready, 1T Is hardly necessary tn men.
ton the appointments in detail. or
one thing the traveller or sojourner in
this land can be assured, that neither
Mr.. Jackson nor his amiable wife will
spare any pains to render their stay at
the hotel q pleasant experience. The
proprietor has catered to the public in
the eastern part of the State for a mum.
Der OF years, and has built up an en-
viable reputation. In fact, he is one
OF those rare persons "who knows how
to keep a hotel" in all its branches, a.
all whO have ever tested his abilities
In this regard will willingly testify.
Attached to the hotel il a large room
which has been utilized as . saloon.
Mr.. Jackson has not been niggsrdly in
hitting up this portion of the building,
in fact has spared no OK pense in any
OF the appointments, and we doubt
the existence Of a hsndsomer resort
this side Of San Francisco. 1t has
quite a metropolitan appearance, and
the bewildering array of French glass.
ware, silver bar fixtures, etc., are i'm
posing. The counter Is an elegant
piece Of work. and the polished sur
face OF black walnut reflects the sur
roundings with great brilliancy and
effect. A large mirror surmounts the
real portion Of the bar, over which il
m oil painting of q Yosemite scene, q
beautiful work OF art. Handsome en-
cravings hang pendant from the walls,
and numerous gas jets shed at night a
bright light owe the scene. The firm
of A. =. HotaliDg d Co., San Fran.
cisco, supply Mr.. Jackson with his
liquid refreshments, which is a guar
an ee that none hut q superior article
will be furnished the patrons of the
establishment. The services of those
popular and skillful compounders of
fancy beverages. Bony Ayres and Ike
Phillips. have been called into requisi-
ton, aud their genial faces will greet
customers. Both Of these gentle.
men have served long appr-nticeships
and are at the head of their profession.
That the house will at once become
a popular resort, no n doubts, and
its completion adds much to the at
of Eureka.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL.

In response to an invitation from
Superintendent Kaye, we yesterday
visited the Public School. 1t was the
last day of the term, and although no
regular examination was had, a gen.
eral review of the progress of the
scholars was under way. In all the
departments the children showed a
high degree Of efficiency that spoke
volumes for the ability OF the teachers,
and the careful training aud discipline
that prevails. The Ip~termediale de
partment. under the management Of
Mrs. Geo. Bibbius, and the Primary
department, In charge OF Miss Florence
futile, were noticeable for the good
order of the Iupils and their interest in
their studies. The most Of our visit
was devoted to the Grammar depart
ment, in charge Of Mr.. Kaye. At the
time Of Our Intrusion tho scholars were
being examined in history, and their
prom ut answers to questions relative
To dates and events betokened an init
mate and thorough acquaintance with
this branch OF their studies. This was
followed by exercises in numbers. aud
The scholars added up long lows OF
figures and solved various intricate
mathematical problems with an ease
that would have been the envy Of an
accomplished accountant. This was
followed by declarations, original
compositions, dialogues. etc.,. by the
scholars. An essay On "GOld," by
Miss Gussie Mannheim. and another on
the " Big Clock of S~trasbours." by her
sister. Miss Ada, were we'll written.
and showed the possession of much
descriptive talent on the part Of the
young ladies'. Creditable productions
were also read by May Hubbard. sub

Ruddell Death.

The many friends of Edward Sta
pleton will be panied to learn of his
sudden death. While travelling in
Montana, he was seized with a violent
attack Of pleurisy, and died after n
short. illness. Uncle Ed. was in Eu-
reka a few weeks ago. and was con
fined to his room by q rheumatic com
plant during his stay. He is widely
known throughout this State, and his
host of friends will regret his loss. We
are indebted to MIR. Butler for the
news Of his sudden demise.

At the close OF the race at the Will
lows Thursday afternoon. DR.. Bishops
horse Dandy became inspired with
the idea that a runaway would be
a fitting wind-up to the sport, n &C
cordingly started Oft at a gait b a
would have astonished Tenbrceck. So
furious was his speed that he failed to
keep the track. and brought up against
the stable with a crash that threatened
to wreck that structure. No damage
was done TO the buggy attached to him,
but poor Dandy is now enrolled in the
ranks of the soreheads, and HE expe
rience and horse ems combined will
doubtless keep him from indulging IN
any more freaks Of that nature.
