EXAMINATION OF JAMES FAG.y nrs

EXAMINATION OF JAMES FAGAN.-Tbe nra-
llminary examination Of the King Bonanza
on charge of perjury, was held at o'clock
last Monday evening, and after hearing the
testimony, o. p. Lacy, who sat as commit,in,,
magistrate, discharged the defendant. As fa-
As we can learn, the false swearing was ALLEGED
to have been committed during the examina-
tion of John McNair, better known as
''Scotty," and who WAS held to answer before
the next grand jury, by L. B. Whitman, for
the same otfense that Fagan was examined for
last Monday While under oath, and as wit
nesses, they both Pagan and ''Scottv') swore
that they were together from about ; o'clock
until about ) or o'clock on the afternoon of
the 26th of February last on their way and at
the grave yard, etc, which was alleged to be
false in this-that instead of being at the grave
yard, Fasan was at the race track disguised as
the little old man" in the put up job
aSa nst the yerdant stock man, ID. P. Russell.
As Fagans examination was conducted with
closed doors, the public was unable u witness
the proceedings, and We We're excluded from
hearing the testimony. We understand also
that one of the officers of the law wLo was in
terested III the case made three unsuccessful
attempts to get into the room. The law does
not warrant private hearing in such cases,
and the one in question was an unusual pro
ce ding, and the public wonder at it. Has
law and justice run riot to such an extent that
their rjadica,joa should be mystiied by Sc
erecys The attorney who represented the p,o-
pie End Policeman Kelly have done their duty
in trying to punish this gang of men, who in
have partly succeeded, one of the gang is
now in Jail but owing 20 a combination Of cir
cunstances better known to those interested,
their efforts have, to n certain extent, been
frustrated and justice laughed t. scoru, and
the nayious fITUnc.e on the body Of snciety
again allowed to emit its steach to the disgust
of all good citizens.

Il valley now have the opportunity to breed
from two of the finest Stations on the Pacihc
coast These horses were brought from Cali
fornia last YEAR and are widely known among
leading horsemrn aS ANIMALS Of superior quail
ties in every particular.
SAN FRANCISCO PATCHEN is n beau-
tiful dapple bay; stands sixteen hands high,
and for bones and muscle doubt whether he
can be excelled BY any horse in America He
was sired by Geo. NJ. Patchen, Jr.; he by the
celebrated trottins stallion Geo. Nj. Patchen;
dam by Top Belifounder, well known mare
for speed and docility: 6. d. by Messenger
Eclipse he by Messenger; 8, g. dam by Old
Eclipse This horse comes of the best stock IN
the world. and is 4 worthy representative of
his ancestry. His owner may be justly proud
Of So noble an animal. San Francisco Patchen
is ten Years old, and is therefore Just in his
prime
GEN. Il. f. LEE is chestnut sorrel; four
years old; stands hfteen hands two inches;
and is marvel of horse flesh For style and
action he cannot be excelle1 by any colt of his
age The owner refused twenty-five hundred
dollars for this colt when he was IN his three
Year form. Gen. Lee was sired by San Fran
cisco Patchen dam by the thoroughbred mare
Fleita she by Belmoat, dam by LAZY Charmer;
she by Leviathan and Eclipse. No mare ranks
higher in this country than Lady Charmer.
The need of thoroughbred stock has been
long felt in Walla Walla, and II Is fortunate
for those who desire to breed fine animals, that
they now have the best blood in America to
breed from.
These horses are permanently located at the
Walla Walla Driving Park, where they will
both make the season. They can he seen every
Saturday at Mr. Tom Tierneys livery stable,
where horsemen are invited To call Those
who are breeding horses VIII do well to exam
inc these horses and their colts Patchen has
proved himself a sure fual getter in this place
Some of his colts can be seen next month.
VIII commence their season on April lst-
a. As il has been reported by enemies Of
these horses that they are going to leave Walla
Walla at the close Of the season, the owner
wishes to contradict that statement, rs it Is his
intention to make this the permanent home OF
Patchen and Lee.

gun to prevail. and thus was effected a
complete revolution in the arts of painting
sculpture, and architecture. The new
learning was called the "lIumanities. y
and those who cultivated it were called
"IIumanists - and rightly, too; for the
new learning worked a reform in morals,
and so refinement of manners. The
Greek studies of the Humanists led to the
translation of the Bible into many of the
modern languages, and .purer and more
enlightened Christianity was the result.
And so this movement, the Renaissance,
went on. New ideas of religion, new
ideas of politics, and of government came
into being, and prepared the way for what
is called the Modern Epoch. All that is
best and sweetest and noblest; all that is
worth most having in the life of the pres
ent dav we owe to 1.-THE "new BIRTH

THE REVIVAL OF LEARNING.

After the fall of the Greek Empire in
1853, numbers of Greek scholars left their
homes in the imperial City of Constantine,
where the barbarous Turks had established
Themselves. They carried with them all
their worldly wealth-their precious man
useripts concealed under the folds of their
robes. The poor exiles found warm
welcome and a congenial home in Italy,
where a taste for classical literature had
lately been awakened We cannot help
thinking how Petrarch, who had died
three-quarters of a century before, would
have enjoyed the society Of these learned
Greeks-he who had loved learning so in
tensely, and had done much to cultivate
a taste for it in others. He died as he had
lfved-among his books-for he was found
dead with his head resting upon an open
volume. Now every one seemed smitten
with passionate desire for learning, and
eagerly embraced the opportunity ofprofit-
ing by the instruction Of these ..wise men
from the East Princes, ladies, and
eourtiers were alike enthusiastic. Like a
boy with new toy. they were filled with
delight over some newly-discovered frao-
ment Of an old Greek or Latin author
Now the lately-invented art of PRINTING
came into requisition. Paper had been
made from rags since about the year 1900.
and. with these new facilities, copies Of
the classic authors were rapidly multiplied
and came into the possession Of those who
had never dared to hope to own one
.Aldus Manutius set up printing-press in
Venice In 1888, and sent forth edition after
edition of those splendid classics, called
after him, the Aldine editions, which are
to this day the delight and envy of all
lovers Of rare and costly books. 1t was
not long before the results Of this revival
of learning were plainly to be seen. New
