We ask the reader, however, to bear in
mind the phrases '.hrst-class family

and then compare them with the fact
that in the above mentioned number Of
this ''family" and .'moral" sheet, there
were eleven columns of closely printed

 There Is story told of an attorney,s copying-clerk who was so subjected to the mere art of copying any legal form that his master bet afriend that he would draw up marriage certificate between Adam. and Eve, keeping the items such as would suit the condition of our first parents, that the clerk would copy it out and detect nothing unusual in it.

A Log Railroad.
Truckec Republican

AAhNhSS NNiupiithH.
 The log tramway or railroad in use by the Richardson Brothers at their mill south of Truckee is very ingenious piece of machinery. Logs ten inches or foot in diameter are hewn round and their ends are coupled together by iron bands. These logs laid side by side up- on graded ground, for at least three miles, form the track Of course the road looks quite like an ordinary rail road track except that logs are used in- stead of rails, and the ties are at much greater intervals. The wheels of the engine and cars are concave on their out CT surface, and fit the curve of the logs. The power is applied to a wheel in the middle of the forward axle of the engine. The most remarkable loads of logs are hauled on the cars, and the affair is decided success. It is very cheap, its construction is simple, it is not easily damaged, and its operation is all that could be desired. By means of this log railroad, the Richardson Brothers are enabled to get their logs from the forest three miles distant, at acost far less than is ordinarily done. u UJf7

Tracy's Trumpet.
St. Louis Times.

Andrew Tracy, of Harrisburg, Pa., was condemned to be hanged fo- the murder of his consin and sweetheart, Mary Riley. As soon as the death sentence was pronounced he began to develop taste for literature and to call for book after book to read. In addition to Dick in's novels and the works of Darwin and Huxley he devoured the entire ed- ition of the American Encyclopedia page by page. He read the Bible from Gene sis to Revelations, Scott from Waveriy to Iyanhoe, and Byron from Childe liar old to Don Juan. All this avidity for learning was taken as the manifestation of an unusually strong mind, fact which by no means extenuated the crime of Tracy in public estimation. But the other day it was discovered that Tracy had written poem, and immedi- ately suspicion began to be aroused This act, it is thought, furnishes good ground for believing that the good man IS not so intellectual after all, and that there is a heriditary taint of lunacy lin- gering about his brain. The day of execution has been fixed for December 4, but a motion for new trial on the newly discovered plea of insanity has been filed, and, having read the, poem, We have no hesitation in believing the court will consider it as an ample iusti6- cation for deciding the motion lavorably. We have no doubt this will be a case wherein q poem saved life.
