HALF CENTURY.-On Monday last Hank
Monk, the veteran Jehu, was half century
old His friends, who is everybody, hope
that he may live another fifty years. We do
not believe that Hank ever made an enemy,
unless it was the late Horace Greeley. This
reminds us of an snecdote. When Horace
Greeley was running for the Presidency,
Hank thought the old man might reward him
for getting him through to Placerville con
time" few years before, so he wrote to the
veteran philosopher, asking for some easy and
lucrative government billet in the event of his
election. Mr.. Greeley replied: 81 would
rather see you ten thousand fathoms in hell
than give you even a crust of bread, for you
are the only man who ever had the power to
place me in a ridiculous light before the
American people, and you villainously e1er-
cised that power.
DIED Eddie, the little son of Mr.. and
Mrs R. E. Kelly, of San Francisco, who WAS
reported seriously i'll in our issue of yester-
day, died at noon yesterday of malignant
liphtheria. His death will be fearful blow

and intelligent boy. We warmly sympathize |
with Mr.. and Mrs. Kelly in their very sad
bereavement.
