Dryers apartments in San Francisco.
Her husband had died in st. Louis. and
she had used all her money in goin. to

Rtatc PrIsrn Warden.

A bill has been introduced in the
Legislature TO provide for the election
Of the Warden Of the State Prison by
the people. A much more sensible
move in our opinion, would be to make
the Lieutenant Governor Ell. oficio
Warden. That officer has to be paid a
salary anyhow and has nothing to do
except to preside over the Senate for
GO days every TWO years, and it would
just be the saving Of the salary Of the
Warden to have the Lieutenant Cover
act in that capacity, II he did before
it was changed to prevent a Democratic
Lieutenant Governor from occupying
the position. II the change vas made
in the law Of course it would not 60
into effect until the next election, and
it is O change that should commend
itself to III Legislatures on the score Of
propriety aud economy.

the house and sat up all hight nursing it
with catnip tea. The next NORM g it
could stand upon its feet, and grew

Mary that it followed her about and one

it was in the school until Mary was called
up to recite Then the lamb came out
Of its hiding place, and made the children
laugh and shout SO that the teacher was
obliged TO turn it out. The poem was

The Dark Day.

An old lady now living on the Little
Colorado, who has attained the com
Portable old age of lbs years, was 80
years Of age at the time Of the dark
day, of which she has a vivid recollec-
ton, and recalls many interesting Incl
dents that took place with her people,
the Spanish, and also the Indiacs, who
were more superstitious. The Spaniards
buried all their saints, of which they
had a goodly number, while the Indians
took to feasting upon dogs and other an
imals. The OZARK day was so called
on account of the renal kable darkness
that extended throughout America. The
observation commenced about 10 o'clock
on the morning of May 10th, 1850, and
continued till the middle of the next
night. Birds sang their evening song,
disappeared and remained silent; fowls
went to roost, cattle sought the barn
ward and candles were lighted in the
houses. The true cause OF this remark
able phenomenon is not, and will proba-
bly, never be known.-Arizona Miner
