A story is told of two Enghshmen
who started from Denver, Colorado,
for walk TO the mountains before
breakfast, an apparently easy task,
as the mountains did not appear
more than mile or twoaway. After
walking for an hour without seem
ing to have made any progress to-
ward the desired goal, one of them
became discouraged and concluded to
return for his breakfast; afterward he
took carriage and went in search Of
his friend, whom he found on the
bank Of a small ditch. Hisfriend in
qaired what he intended to do. He
replied, to wade the ditch. His
friend said there was nonecessity for
that, as it was less than three feet
across, and he could easily jump it.
"You can't tell anything about it in
this country" responded the other;
sit may be three hundred feet across

proved to extend about fifteen miles

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES.

British and German operators are engaged
in "bear" movement in Government bonds.
The promOnitory symptom was the declara-
ton of The London Times, recently telegraphed,
that the price Of the bonds Was unreasonably
inflated. 1t may be keen!y remembered by
many that the class Of Engli,hmen which The
Times seeks to represent thought, during the
war, that the price Of United States bonds
was too high, and that of Confederate bonds
too low. Ia this case public and private
cause seem to cooperate 1t does not please
Englishmen generally that British investors in
considerable number have been selling consolS
and buying United States four per conts 1t
does not please some of the great bankers
abroad that the United States has succeeded
so well, without their aid, in placing an
enormous loan. A raid upon the mar
ket might naturally have been expected.
therefore, whenever the speculative buyers
should begin to realize their profits. Sales of
that sort began on SATURDAY. and were quickly
followed by heavy &" short sales on account
Of foreign operators. Their advantage wa,
that as long as the American Syndicate, who
hold the bonds, continued 10 sell at the mar
ket price, the spectators could sell short !"
with inpunity, assured that they could buy in
at any time from the Syndicate. In effect,
the spectators held "call" upon tho
Syndicate for an unlimited amount, aud pro-
ceeded to sell "shOrtn on the strength of it,
This, with tho sales Of smaller operators 10
realize profits, depressed the market The
movement was aided by tho erroneous story,
industriOusly circulated, that the Syndicate
had closed its operations and sold all its bonds.
Naturally, those who had bought for an ad-
vance supposed the maximum rise had been
reached, and many sought To realize.
Under these circumstances the Syndicate

ISSUES TO BIZ SOUlRELY NIT

II should be understood at the outset that
the Republican party, in meeting the issue which
the Democracy have forced upon them, will
not mInce matters in the least, but talk out
plainly. The issue is at least distinct it has
been aggressively and arrogantly pressed it
is robust. VITAL 1t shall be squarely and firmly
met, and have robust treatment. There is
no need to Gull phrases or handy cour-
tesies when the Southern Democracy come
up demanding the abdicatIon of Federal
sovereignty and the concession of absolute
sovereignty TO the States. If there were any
hardships in their condition after the war;
whose fault was it7 They themselves made
military interference, and Interference on n
tremendous scale, necessary, by their rebel
lion. BY their treatment of their former
slaves they msde negro suffrage necessary, as
the negro's only weapon of defence. Their
own policy and conduct made it necessary
for the General Government TO use its power
in maintaining the rights of these poor crea-
lures, of which they undertook by violence
and intimidation to deprive them; and
there has been no step in the whole course of
the proceedings resorted to by the Republican
party to put down rebellion and uphold

We hope it will not shortly become necessary TO
organize force Of Police Court officers specially TO
protect lawyers and witnesses from tho assaults of
tue Bench. IL has been customary for prisoners to
stand in fear of their lives Of the judge and
jury, but why kindred terrors should DO exercised
by the Bench over the other wretcbes who appear
only on the ritness-stand and at the cOunsePs bar
l. not 30 clear. We have two late instances Of judi
cIal brow beating in the police courts. which
promise some serious consequences One Judge,
ito wit, Duffy told lawyer that he
was acting in contempt of court and
when the lattor denied it, he had to appeal
to Labeas corpus for relief higher court
discharged him with haste that was a rehectlon
on the committing magistrate; and the lawyer
thorcupon made himself his own client in suit for
$4,000 for false Imprisonment. In tho other
case female witness, who was alsO q
plaintiff, WAS denounced by tho Judge Ito
wit, WandelD as bad" in tones, if not
words rejecting ON her character. though the
proof does nOt appear to have been brought out on
tho trial. Tie plantif-witness denounced she
Judge as LIAR fell to the floor svoonng. and inst-
tuted suit for civil damage on her recovery. Tho
license ofpOlice courts must necessarily DO great.
and the magistrate must occasionally bo dogmatic
to an apparently harsh degree; but this is going too
far. 1t boast of the late Justice bowling
that no could dispose of the morning calen-
dar of his petty court at the ratio OF
sixty cases an hour aud talk politics all the while,
and 1t il said that during great political excitement,
when he was in haste to be in caucus, ho once
reached that average. But it ought to be remcm-
bered by those who would initiate him in bru-
tahty as well as dispatch, that late i'll

This year the appeal for funds for the expenses Of
the Decoration Day celebration has peculiar s0nia-
cauce. Money is asked not only to meet chose ex
penses, but 10 form, if possible nucleus for a mon
Ument fund by means Of which a suitable memorial
can be erected in this city TO the UnIon soldiers and
sailors who perished in the war; II is not q little
curious that while many cities, and even villages.
throughout the country, have erected such monu-
ments there is none IN this city. which sent out as
the appeal of the Committee truly says, more soldiers
than some of the States IL is certainly time that
some such tribute was paid TO the memory OF these
brave men, and there could be no more appr oprate
period at which to ask for contributions to scheme
for honorng the Union dead than the present, when
the country is srewing flowers upon their graves.

three inches long, held in his assist
ants mouth, the gun being fired
from various difficult positions, in>
Guiding sighting over his shoulder
with a small mirror, and also shot
glass balls from his assistants head,
making many shots that were diff
cult and seemed perilous. The
audience were at a loss which to
admire most, the nerve of the
shooter or the youth who 'held the
target
As a portion of the exhibition
the Doctor attempted to beat his
score, made recently at Oakland, of
breaking 922 glass balls out of
1000. During the forenoon he
shot at 500 and missed 20. In the
afternoon he shot at 500 more and
missed only 19-making total of
80 misses out of 1000 shot at.
The score in the afternoon was care
fully Tailed BY several persons, in-
GLIDING the Secretary of State elect,
ID: M. Burns. The best run made
by the shooter was 80 successive
hits. While pleased with having
made the best score ever made in
public on the coast, he stated that
he was not in good trim for shoot
ing, having been nearly laid up
lately by big boil on the back of
his neck, which was lanced only last
Tuesday. He has shot at 1000
successive balls but once before, but
in shooting at 500 he has been SO
successful as to miss only nine out
of that number. He is a large man
of about middle age, Of agreeable
manner, and handles very smoothly
the weapon he uses. His average
time in shooting 100 balls was be-
tween nine and ten minutes, using
but one gun and loading it himself.
Like Carver, he shoots with both
eyes open.
