A Debtors Advice.

A gentleman of San Francisco, says the
Argonaut, has devoted a great part of the
time he has spent on the Pacific coast in
contracting bills, which he does not find
could be conveniently paid WI en- due.
Having lived IN California since 1859,
and being what is called generous liv-
en-" he has numerous creditors, and the
sum of his debts Is respectfully large.
Some years ago he determined to attempt
gradual payment Of all his liabilities.
Endowed with fine sense of justice it
puzzled him to decide upon plan OF
! liquidation that would be fair and equita-
| BILE to all his creditors. After long
consideration he hit upon a method
which he found entirely satisfactory. He
explained his plan the other day to one
of his recently acquired creditors. A bill
was presented him with request for
immediate payment. He took the &C
count, and carefully checked all the
items and footing up the long column OF
figures, found all correct. Then he Gulet,
ly and neatly folded up the bill and hlea
1t away in a pigeon-hole marked wv.
Turning to his waiting creditor. nc eN;
planned as follows: "Lr. Williams, 1t VIII

A Story of the Grand Canon.

The Denver, Co.., Tribune tells the fol-
lowing story of the Grand Canon:
"Charles May and his brother Robert,
in the spring Of 1870, offered to pass co.
900 railroad ties down the Arkansas from
the mountain source. He says: Our Of
fer was accepted, when we started into
the upper entrance of the canon with a
large sklff and provided with six days
provisions and 200 feet of rope, with
which we could lower our boat hun
dred feet at a time. in this way, at the
end of three days, having set adrift many
hundred ties, we reached the entrance to
the Royal Gorge. Here we discovered
that IN attempt to descend the first wa
terfall with two in the boat was ce, tain
destruction. and to return was impossible.
Accordingly, determined to lower my
brother down the fall in the boat, a dis
lance of 200 feet, give him the rope, and
let him take the chance of the canon Qife
seemed more certain in that direction,
while would risk my physical ability
to climb the canon wall, which was abou
1900 feet high. ...
About ten o'clock in the morning

him safely to the foot Of the iall, CAV

to try some other way. At length, abou

The foregoing opinion settles two very inn

The first is in effect that all contracts
with teachers for terms Of school to begin

not be made prior to that election. OF
course il must no. be inferred that board

OUR DEAD SOLDIERS EvERYWHERE


1t is probably generally remembered
that some years ago-in lS73-congress
passed at law providing for the erection Of
durable headstoncs over the graves Of
soldiers OF the regular and volunteer
forces Of the United States whose remains
are Inferred in the Nationa! Military Gem
etcrics, This law has been carried out,
and the graves OF the nations dead in these
cemeteries are now permanently marked
At the instance OF the war department, con
grcss has recently authorized the erection
of similar headstones over the graves of the
Union soldiers who are buried in private
and village cemeteries. This will be done
as soon IS the necessary arrangements can
be made, In the meantime the quarter
master, at Washington, will at once proceed
TO collect the necessary information as to
where these headstones are required.
All persons having any knowledgcd Of
the burial places of soldiers in private CEN
ctcries whose graves are not marked, are re-
qucstcd TO communicate the fact to the
Quartermastcr General, and give regiment,
company, and date Of death Of deceased, if
known. Similar information is desired
from parties in charge Of such cemeteries
OF course it is not intended to furnish
hcadstones for graves over which monu,
ments have already been erected by rels

even though it extends beyond the first of
April; not that board Of directors cannot
make contract for the customary term Of
school, beginning in the fall and often con.
tinuing till the next summer,
The second point is OF perhaps equal in
tcrest, particularly TO teachers:
The school law provides that the teacher
must have a legal certificate when he makes
his contact with the directors; and when
the directors certify the teachers schedules,
they must state that he has such Il ccrtii
cate, This decision, however, declares that
unless the teacher at the time Of making
his contract has certificate emitting him
to teach for the entire term of the contract,
the contract is a nullity,
am aware that the usage which has pre-
vailed with regard to these matters has, in
many places, not been in accordance with
the law set forth in this decision. But now
that the law has been clearly stated by the
Supreme Court, all Interested will do we'll
to govern themselves accordingly

stone had fallen at her feet. "Why,

"Oh, of course it's natural you
should be frustrated at first. / oughter
have broke it to you more rq3ua1; but
you needn't try to put it ito words.
No matter if you don't know what to

and that's enough" interrupted the
lover
"Oh, as to knowing what to say, /
know Just as well tonight as | ever
shall, and I'm obliged to you for your
consideration, Mr.. Lazier, but l really
must decline your proposals." and Miss
Kiddle pinned her shawl more closely
around her, as if no more remained to
be said.
''Now you know you don't mean i"
demonstrated her admirer. ''I know
women; they always say no when they
mean yes"
"BGt I mean no." said the cruel Ke-
turah.
"You don't know your mind" per-
sisted Mr.. L.
{" Yes, do" said Miss Kiddle, firm
ly; "and 1 know it won't change about
this matter. l am in earnest.
"Oh, now don't! You can't mean it.
You don't know what you're ADDING"
cried the rejected suitor, in consterna-
ton. "Don't say no. I'd sot my mind
on you from the first. You are Just
the one for me, You're just right in
every way. 1 can't never find your
equal" +" cried Mr.. Lazier, his blessings
Frightening as they seemed about to

eyes on the Goldfish, under the delusion
that it was the Prodigal Son.

said Miss Kiddle.
"What be theyP" entreated the
bachelor, with vague suspicion Of
Jones floating through his mind.
The hard-hearted Keturah hesitated.
"I would rather not give them,n she
said at last.
"I insist on hearing one of 'em,"
persisted Hezekiah, thinking, "She
can't have any objection to me"
'' Well, I suppose you will consider
the one am going to give as one which
no sensible person would be influenced
by, and Will call it 'awoman's reason
but the fact is, Mr.. Lazier, you are
really too boineIy. I am not at all
handsome myself, and l consider that
one plain looking person in family is
enough. Goodnight"
Mr.. Lazier is still bachelor, and to
this day breads to go 10 the store, where
he is liable to be reminded that
there's many slip 'twixt the cup
and the lip" but Keturah Kiddle has
lately married well-to-do mill-oWner,
