Two hundred and ffty-seven
drinking saloons in Richmond, Viz
ginia, made return of the drinks
sold during the month sof May as
registered by the Mofet liquor reg
lister. They amounted in the ag-
gregate To 91,913 alcoholic drinks
and 121,63 drinks Of malt liquors.
A computation based on the price
charged for these drinks by the
saloon-keepers shows that if all the
sales were registered the gross re-
ceipts of the saloon. keepers amount
ed only to two dollars each per-days
The conclusions reached from this
analysis of the sales as reported is
that the registering of drinks is
largely evaded by the >saloon-keep-
ers or by the bar-tenders whom
they employ.

ELOQUENT SPEECH.

Standing Bear, The Chief Of the
Ponca Indians, who were released
1t Omaha on Monday last, was
foil Of gratitude TO Messrs. Web
ster and PoppIeton: the two law
yers who argued his case before
Judge Dun,iy. On Sunday last,
Standing Rear went to the house
Of Mr. Webster, and TO that gen
iIeman lie presented his toma-
hawk. the weapon OF many years
Of savagvry: and bearing his own
name. After shaking hands with ;
all present, beginning with the
ladies, to whom he said he wished
to pay respect, he said, addressing
Gen. Webster;
Gou and | are here. Our Skins
are Of a different color, but God
made US both. A little while ago,
when | was young, [ was wild
| know nothing Of the ways Of
white people.
sec you have nice houses here.
| look at these beautiful rooms
[ would like to have house too,
and it may be after while that
can get one, but not so good
house as this. That is what [
want to do. "
For a great many years-a hun
dred years or morc-the white
men have been driving us outs
They are shrewd, sharp, and know
how to cheat but Since l have
been here I have found them very
different. They have all treated
me kindly, and am very thank
ful for it.
Hitherto when we have been
wronged we,wentto war to assert
our rights aud avenge our wrongs.
We took the tomahawk. We had
10 law to punish those who did
wrong; so We took our toma-
hawks and went to kill. If they
had guns and could kill us first it
! was the fate Of war.
But you have found better
way. You have gone into court
for US, aud I find that our wrongs
| can be righted there. Now that
[ have no more use for the toma~
hawk, I want to lay it down for
ever. .a E..
Uttering these words with eIo-
quent impressiveness the old
Chief, STOPPING down, placed the
tomahawk on the floor at bis feet
then standing erect be folded
his arms with native dignity and
continued j
I lay it down: | have no moro
use for it; l have found q better
way. #.. 81
[stooping again and taking up
the weapon he placed it in Mr..
Wcbster's hands and said +
l present it to you as token of
my gratitude. l want you to
keep it in remembrance Of this
great victory which you havo
gained. I have no further use for
it; I can now seek the ways of
peace. ~

A Story Successfully Told.

Pretty, plump Mrs. Archibald
Steele wrote the following para
graph in one oi' her letters to her
husband the other day:
John must come down here at
once, whether you can spare him
or not. Our dear little Laura is
greatly taken with a tall, thin
Young man, with q hooked nose
and thin. lips, called Stuyvcsant.

Of showing itself, for tic young
man is as pale rs q sinccter; and

his sunken eyes and bilious SKIN,

grown to hate him, while Laura
is growing to be quite the con-
t,ary, l an! afraid. All the even
ing he leans up against the wall:
never dancing Or opening his
month, save to give vent to some
hateful, sarcastic criticism upon
the scenes around him, and yet
dear little Laura's eyes-as, IN
deed, all the other pretty eyes
about-ale perpetua?ly beseecblng
him for attention. In the day
time he is always with a long
black horse, that covers more

to drive behind it, and vanishes
out Of sight with the bony crea-
ture, | tremble to think how
dreadful it would be if our dear
little girl would ever be part and
parcel Of this wretched man and
his beast. So | think John had
better come down at once. i
quite long to see his handsome
face and hear his honest voice,
and I think it is about time that
John should tell his little story to
Laura and have things settled
comfortably
Mr.. Archibald Steele smiled
when he put the letter Of his vile
in his waist-coat pocket, and,
picking up the morning paper,
scanned through his gold-rlmmcd
spcctacles the news OF tho day.
Finding nothing therein TO refine
the exceedingly satisfactory con-
dition Of bis affairs, he pat it down,
smiling as only a prosperous, con-
tented downtown merchant can
smile. He, WAS oue~of those hap
py exceptions to The ordinary
rule Of mortaIs, with whom every
Cl5in:g went well. Ills whole ex-
| Dericnce was an exclamation point
to that effect. If he vcntarcd q
little hazardOusly in trade, for
| tune trimmed ier sails to favor
him. Ii lie set his heart upon
anything relating to domestic
felicity, all the ciomcnts Of art
and nature conspired 10 bring it
about. SO when he stepped 10

to " young man with 4 strip OF
commercial paper in his hand and
u pencil behind his ear, with the
general air Of briskness and
shrewuness about him that be-
tokened successful downtown
merchant embryo. Mr.. Steele
smiled the third time, with the
air of one who WAS not at al!
afraid Of any bilious, bluc-bIooded
obstacle that might be thrown N
the path OF . domestic happ'nes'
which he firmly agreed had beer

A SINGULAR QUESTION.

The salary pledge question came up
in the San Francisco City Court OH
the 9th inst The question affects the
right of candidates elected on the
Workingmen's ticket to hold office
r. s. Reynolds is the author Of the
complaint. He was one Of the Work
ingmcn's delegates to the Constltn-
tional Convention, but subsequently
refused to endorse the salary plank.
The complaint alleges that tho salary
pledge ID IN violation Of the provisions
Of the Penal Code declaring any can
didatc ineligible to Office who shall
hold out any bribe intended to pro.
mote his election, which, it is alleged,
the salary plank in the Workingmen's
platform was. The complainant in
the case, Edward Kcrrigan, was rep
resented by ]. S. Reynolds, and the
Workingrnen's candidate by D. l.
Smoot and Clitus Barbour. The case
Of |. S. Kalloch first came up, and
was continued till the Goth inst, af-
ter which the case Of d l.. Smoot was
also continued till the same time The
case of john +. Dunn, Auditor elect,
was then taken up, and Mr.. Barbour
moved to strike out the really essen
tial portions of the complaint, on the
ground that it did not show that de-
PENDANT held ont any hribe to the cleo.
tors OF the city, but to certain people
calling themselves Il convention, none
of whom were shown to be electors.
After hearing the argument Judge
Wright refused the motion to strike
out, holding that it was immaterial
in which manner the defendant had
been nominated, aud that the real
question was whether the defendant
had, as alleged, held out hribc to
the electors Of the county. The ques-
ton is II peculiar one, and will be
watched with interest by all who study
California politics and questions.
