MISCELLANY.

A DISAPPOINTED EDIToR.-We suppose
it is as much as our life is worth, but they are
telling little hunting story about the editor
Of weekly contemporary, that we shall have
to print If we are killed for it. It appears
that last week the journalist in question went
deer hunting in the distant back woods of
Marin county. Somehow the deer staid such
4 short time in any one place that he missed
every one he saw, and late in the afternoon
brought up empty-handed at the cabin Of .
sturdy mountaineer, who was feeding Gagged
wildcat he had trapped the day before. An
idea suddenly occurred to the disappointed
Nimrod. If he could only take back the Of
flee genuine wildcat, and killed by his own
hand, too. "How much will you take for
that beast ?" he asked. The man said TWEEN
ty dollars, and the money was paid over
Now" said the editor, putting fresh cart
ridge in his gun, tie one end of q strong
cord to that tree and another around the cats
neck, and then open the cage door," This
was done with some difficulty, and the fierce
animal stood furiously straining at the cord.
The hunter threw himself into Dakin's
international position No. and blazed away.
The cat gave a terrible yell and disappeared
into the woods. His bullet had cut the rope
that was all.--San Francisco Pest.

MADE DIFFERENcE.-Saturday after
noon, young man of about twenty, nearly
enveloped in linen buster, was wandering
through the City Hall with his Mary Ann, and
he was several times overheard to say
Mary, I'd die for you-would for fact. -
After seeing the various rooms he left her
on the steps while he hunted around for q
place to buy soda-water. In crossing the
street he was run into by velocipede, and he
got up yelling like an Indian. The officer ON
duty at the Hall ran down and asked him IL
he was hurt.
Hurt Pm all mashed to kindlings |" was
the reply.
But heard you say you were willing to
die for the girl in the gray dress up there"
II don't keer penny for what We heard -
exclaimed the young man as he danced
around on one leg. " I want you to under
stand that there's just as much difference
tween dying for the girl you love and collud-
in with a two-wheeled sulky as there is
tween three cent mouth organ and brass
band want to begin a lawsuit right off | I"

GENERAL TRADE.

There was very little business doing in the
CITY Yesterday. II was Decoration day and
Ascension day, and the Episcopal, Roman
Catholic and Lutheran churches had service
in the morning. The regular kilograms
from the east were interrupted, and there
were fewer deliveries Of the mail than usual;
last, but not least, it WAS the latter end of the
month. Some corn arrived, but owing TO
there being limit upon It, 1t could not be
mt on the market: arrivals were offering at
a price that left little chance for limits. The
views expressed about corn were not encour-
aging to holders. The prospects of peace
have alarmed holders of grain IN the hrst mar
kets; they are losing hopes of securing war
prices for their stocks, and are sending them
to market in immense profusion, to get them
sold if possible, before actual final peace de-
stSoys all nope Of fancy profits" All this
