HOY IT rs PLAYED.

This is the way it is played: A man
past the prime of life, poorly dressed, and
having mournful quiver in his voice,
takes two old oyster cans, partly fills
them with sand, does them up in neat
shape, and selecting house, he calls the
lady to the door and says. "Madam, Pm
old and poor, but I'm not a thief. 1
found these oyster cans on the street, and
won't you be good enough to keep them
till the owner calls p "Why, the owner
may never CALL" replied the lady.
'That's SO; but Pm not able to buy milk
and crackers even if had oysters; you'd
better keep 'em awhile anyhow. If no
one comes the cans are yours" Some
times the old man makes a quarter, and
sometimes only a bite to eat. The owner
does not arrive, and the family prepares
for fried oysters for supper. When the
paper is torn off some folks laugh and
somo don't. Some say they will hunt
over every rod ofground in the United
States unoil they'll find the old man and
make him eat the last grain of sand and
the cans to boot.

NAUGHTY,

Somebody's lips were close to mine;
Thus tempted couldn't resist.
Roguish and rosy, sweet little mouth
Was suddenly softly kissed.
Somebody's eyes looked up and frowned
With such Il reproving glance.
"If kisses were wicked 7" Iasked my pet !;
Then the eyes began to dance.
And smiling, the little maid answered
AS knelt there at her feet;
"They must be little bit naughty"
Or they never would be so sweet.

And safes from Chicago.
They CHANGED upon q merchant
Who fain safe would buy,
And in the praise of their houses wares
Tho drummers twain did vie.
Each striving to see which could con-

The most colossal lie.
Up spal>e the st. Louis drummer:
"Once a man cat did take
And locked the animal in safe
Of our superior make.
'They made bonfire round the safe
With tar and kerosene,
And for four-and-twenty hours it blazed
With raging heat, ween.
''The fire went out, the safe was cooled
And will forfeit five
Hundred dollars If that cat
Did not come out alive"
Then mild upspake and answered him,
The Chicago safe agent:
"With our safe one day we did essay
The same experiment.

And pitch-pine we heaped in coal oil

And in forty-eight hours we Cpd the safe,

With a triumphant breath;
But the Chicago man replied:

No word that St. Louis drummer :.spoke,
But silent he stood and wan,

AS Sarah overwatched the spit
Whereon the steak was frying,
The butler entered at the door,
The while the maid was singing,
And heedless'of the consequence
That on his rashness waited,
He took the spit-girl on his lap,
And so was Sallie-weighted.

NEW YORK August 23d.-Much interest
is attached hereabouts to a case which
came before our courts to-day, involving
the question of the right of the trustees
of the cemeteries controlled by the Cath
Ole Church to prevent the interment
therein of those who in their lifetime be.
longed to secret societies. The authori-
ties of Calvary Cemetery have refused
burial In consecrated ground to the body
of Dennis Coppers, who. when living
owned lot there, and, though commu-
meant of the Episcopal Church. wished to
be buried beside his wife and other kind
red inferred in Calvary.
The authorities refused burial and or.
dered the corpse to be removed from the
receiving vault. Deceased's brothers now
move for temporary injunction restrain
ing the authorities from removing the
body. Their refusal to bury is based on
the ground that he was Mason.

There are already abundant signs that
before long we shall be launched upon
another speculative tide. A considerable
and increasing number of new and haz-
ardous enterprises are already tempting
the general public to investment by the
promise of extraordinary profits. We ad
wise everybody to steer clear of such ad-
ventures. They are no better tn an gamb-
ling, but more risky, because those who
venture their money play with men who
hold the cards in their own hands. There
are doubtless, for instance, many profitable
mines, but when a mine is very profitable
its owners do not sell it. Its stock is nor
to be bought by strangers; it is divided
among friends.-N. Y Herald.
The above is unworthy the Herald. To
select mining not only to point It's moral,
but thus Indirectly make it the sole object
OF ponderous warning. is unjust to the
industry, but to say so plainly that be-
cause one offers to sell a mine it is likely
to be fraud aud snare, is a wrong to the
many that the Herald can easily find who
have good mines to sell at fair prices.
The Herald was among the first to bring
precious metal mining favorablY before
the East, and now there is some reckless
investing in it and abundant temptations
thereto by that class which is always
ready to take advantage of first impulses
in any line, 1t is extremely ill-considered
in so great a journal, to turn viciously on
the very interest it helped II create. Let
the Herald use its resources to lay bare the
bad schemes, without resorting to sweep
ing defamation.-BuilioB.

Under the late system of apportion-
ment of the Public School Fund, we saw.
our Public School closed because of pes
thence; this might any year occur during
the three months specified under that
system as a basis for apportionment, and
we raised our voice against that basis as
being unfair. We used our influence with
the Legislature to have the obnoxious por-
ton of the law changed. We were much
elated in February last when we saw
telegram from our delegation stating that
the law had been amended. We knew
how much opposition there was in YaVa-
pal County against any change in the
basis of apportionment and saw that the
members of the Legislature from that
County voted against the amendment.
We waited patiently for these Acts to be
promulgated and on receiving one copy
six months after the close of the session
were more than surprised to find that the
Objectionable section was not amended,
but WAS certified to, officially, under the
Territorial Seal, as being printed as
passed by the Legislature.

To the SENTINEL Publishing Company,
Yuma. Arizona:
GENTLEMEN
have carefully read the editorial arti-
eie in your issue of the 10th inst under
heading "Gosper's Law for 1879" in
which you call the attention of the pub
lie, in very elaborate manner, to the
TACT that there are errors in the printing
of the laws for the year 1879, and that you
have reason to believe that these laws
have been "doctored," or, in other words,
thai have maliciously tempered with or
changed them.
1t was wise and proper and in the in.
terest of the public that you should have
called attention to the fact that there
were errors in the laws as printed. This
part of your article belongs to the public
but that part of it which refers in un
measured terms to the probability thai
the laws have been tampered with, shall
consider as entirely personal
In explanation Of that part OF your ar
ticle relating TO the fact that the schoo
Law. ne printed, is not fully in accordance
with the same as passed, am ready to ad
init il ,s true, and no one regrets more thar
myself this important error.
The error slludrd to- was the fault o.
the proof reader, either in my Office or in
Lbs office Of the printer, but probably the
fault of my own proof reader, and nc
doubt occurred in the manner following.
Many of the bills for acts were printed
before being acted upon by the Legiala.
