NANCY.

As Nancy at her toilet sat,
Admiring this and blaming that,
"Tell me, she said, but tell me true,
The nymph who could your heart subdue,
:. What sort Of charms does she possess7''
" "Abso1ve Inc, fair one; I'll confess
With pleasure" replied. Her hair,
In ringlets rather dark than fair,
Does down her ivory bosom roll,
And, hiding half, adorns the whole.
Ii her high forehead's fair half round
Love sits, in open triumph crowned.
He In the dimple Of her chin,
In private state, by friends is seen.
Her eyes are neither black nor gray,
Nor fierce nor feeble Is their ray;
Their dubious lustre seems to show
Something that speaks nor Yes nor No
Her lips no living bard, weet,
May suy how red, how round, how sweet;
Old Homer only could iudite
Their Vagraut grace and soft delight;
They stand recorded in bis book,
When Helen smiled and Hebe spoke.".
The gypsy. turning to her gl,,ss,
Too plainly showed she knew the face.

FAIR BUT COY.

Her cheeks a sentry In advance,
IL moon that makes the durk ness div.
Her stature is like any lance,
And like waving reed doth sway,
Her eyes are ever wide awake,
Though dreamy us n fawu's to see.
The monn is blurred for her sweet sake;
The branch is dropping On the tree.
The fawn before her flies for shame,
Towards the desert, far and wide;
No peer has she. and none can claim
TO be regarded by her Side.
The fawn that In the glade doth stray
The idol Of the fame ts shell
Thou who dldst bid me hope, pray
That may no'cr despuir OF theel
To me, thou art so COZ and cold;
To others, ever kind nad near
Our quarrel, like the wars OF old,
Doth lingcr on from year to year.
Ah! that is why thy young cheek gtows
With yUnder ruGdF hue so fair,
as though it were Il dtstuut! rose
Thou takest for Il veil to Wear.

STAkDARD DOLLARS.

SAver-c coin for change is scarce in tho
interior OF California, as well as in Ne
vadas Oregon, and Arizona and Idaho
Territories. Business men have re-
quested the United States. Sub-Treas-
urer at San Francisco to exchange stan
dard.dollars and fractionaLsilver coins
at Government expense for deposits Of
gold and currency notes. The Sub
fTreamper applied to Secretary Sherman
at Washington for authority to ship
STANDARD dollars and fractlonal silver
coins into the interior, in compliance
with.the request of business men. In
replying to his letter the authorities at
Washington inform him that there is
no appropriation available for the.pay-
mont of transportation charges on
money to be shipped from Sub-Treas-
ury offices, as proposed, and the Treas
ury Department therefore declines to
grant the authority requested.
This gives an insight into the game
which. John Sherman, in the interests
OF the single standard men, is playing
with the standar,ls dollars He is ever
stinglycomplain;ng, to the Associated
'bress agents, that the people do not
want silver dollarsE that they are daily
sceumulating. in the' Treasury vaults,

yet the Sal,IGeasarer. at San Franciscc,

shows that they are wanted in the in
terior, in exchange for gold and green
backs. He will not pay them out to
the creditors of the Government as he
does gold and greenbacks, but piles
them up in the Treasury vaults in New
York. If you want them for change,
you must, at your own expense, send
gold or greenbacks for them, and pay
all expenses of making the exchange.
II say" says Mr.. Sherman, "that you
do not want silver dollars, and if you
contradict my assertion I'll make you
pay for it," The result is, although the
people want the dollars, and though the
Government makes profit of about Is
per cent,-the difference between the
price of bullion and its assayed
value-in coming the dollar, Mr.
Sherman; in consequence Of his OPP
position to silver, will not authorize the
Sub-Treasnries to exchange them for
gold and greenhacks, at the expense Of
the Government; and the Republican
State Convention, which assembled III
Carson week ago, endorsed his finan-
clal policy. Verify, thes'poEt;eians
must fancy that the people are idiots.

POLITICAL ASSESSMENTS.

Federal Office holders are now being
invited to contribute in proportion to-
their salaries to the campaign fund.
The Congressional Campaign Commit
tee, of which j. A. KAbbelE is Chair
man and Edward MCPHERSON is Secre.
tary, with headquarters at No. 1877 II
street, Washington, have sent letters
to each and all Of the ninety odd thou
sand Federal officials, and to each and
all of the clerks in the Departments,
Gustomhouses, and the postoffices in
the large cities, asking for money. Oc-
Gasionally one of those letters finds it's
way into. the hands of a Democratic
postmaster ia out-of- -the-way places,
where the salary or commission does
not warrant the appointment of a Re-
publican. and they, having no motive
Tor keeping the fact secret, give them
to the newspapers. Sometimes, too, Re-
publican clerks, relying upon Hayes
the, political lesches, refuse to pay the
assessment, and cause the dunning let
Ter to be published. One of these cir
cular letters has Just been made public
in New York City. where a. clerk in the
Custolnhouse, at a salary Of S10O per
month. was assessed So. The letter
says:-The Committee isrorganized for the
projection of the interests of the Re-
publican party, in each of the Con-
gressional Districts OF the Union. In
order that it may meet all expenses in.
cident to the campaign, the Committee
feels authorized to apply to all officials
whose Offices and interests are involved
in the struggle. Under the circumstan-
ces the Committee assumes to, believe
that the official will deem it both a
privilege and o pleasure to contribute
to the campaign fund sum not less
than one fourth of his salary for the
months OF August, September aud o.
tobsr. The Committee also assures the
official that such contributions from
persons employed in the service of the
United States will not be objected to
in any official quarter, and requests
Z him to make prompt and favorable re.
sponse to the letter by bank check or
draft, or postal money orders, payable
TO the order of George Frs Dawson.
Treasurer, Postof1ice lock box 723,
Washington, D. C. The letter is signed
by Edward McMerson, Secretary of
the Committee.
It is estimated that about S3,0o0,0 900
will be raised for campaign purposes by
this levy ON Federal officials and clerks,
which. would be about AN average of
$50 from each. A similar amount is
expected to be contributed by the Ma
tional Banks and corporations gener-
ally, which are interested in keeping the
Republican party in power. Th;s,is quite
an;ce little sum for campaign EXPENSES,
but it is not probable that more than
$50, 600 of it will be sent to Nevada to
strengthen the weak kneed, and teach
the people that Hancock, who fought
= for tae Union, is a rebel sympathizer,
and that Colonel Taylor, one of the
Garfield Electors, who advocated Sc
oession during the war, is patriot.

TELEGRAPHTC ITEMS.

K The Treasury officials have investi~
gated the legal standing of the Chinese
msrchant steamer expected to arrive in
San Francisco shortly, and will submit
their report ina few days. Under the
law of the United States the President
is authorized to issue his proclamation
permitting all Chinese vessels to enter
the ports of the United. States, it being
first shown that no discriminating duty,
is. levied in China against American
vessels. China charges an entrance fec
OF fourteen cents a ton every time o.
foreign vessel enters a Chinese port.
lib the United States aetonnage due Of
thirty cents per annum is charged.
Fhis the Chinese vessel would be
obliged to pay, but the President, by
proclamation, may remit the alien ton
mage tax to one dollar per ton and forty
per cent. on eargoes. AS soon as the
facts are before him, Hayes will pre-
pare his proclamation, which will ac-
cord to Chinese vessels the same privi.

JONES vs.. TWlTCHELL
important Ruling by Judge Howard as to the
Com potency Of Evidence.

+. B. Jones, Administrative, vs.
G. G. Twitchell-On the fret Of
October, 1876, G. G. Twitchell exc
cuted his pr0missory note and
mortgage to e. M. Jones for $170O,
payable six months after date, in
terest one and one-half per cent.
per month.
Subsequently the mortgage de
parted this life aud the plaintiff,
Elizabeth J. Jones, duly admins
tered on his estate. The defendant
testified, upon rulings reserved as
to bis competency, that the de-
ceased mortgage made to him, the
mOrtgag0r, u statement that he,
the m0rtgagOr, should not be mo
Tested In the possession Of the
mOrtgaged premises during his, the
mortgag0rs, life time. The testi
mouy was objected to as irrelevant
and Incompetent under sec. 1880 OF
the Code vi Civil Proeedure, which
declares that they are not oompe-
tent witnesses who are parties 10
any action or proceeding, or In
whose behalf an action or proceed-
ing Is prosecuted, sg AUST an exec
utOr or an administrator, upon a
claim or demand against the estate
Of the deceased AS to the com
potency OF the witness unter Sec
1880, the Court holds that the nc.
ton IL not upon a "claim or de-
mand" against the estate, upon
the authority of Fallon Va. Butler,
81 Cal. 81; Estate of McCausland,
81 Gal. 56S, and the unreported case
OF VOrbe vs.. YarrOw's administrat-
or, anu is not, therefore, within the
express language of the prohibit.
ton, and that the defendant WAS
competent to testify. But the
Court also holds that the uncor.
robOrated evidence of such wit
ness IL not sufficient to establish u
Observation-Disclosures Evidence, Sec.
467.
Says James, G. j., In Hill vs.
Wilson, l.. r. s oh. 960, quoted in
the above section of Wharton:
"Even If legally admissible for any
purpose, the interests of mankind
imperatively require that, unless
corroborated, it should be wholly
disreg arded. Nobody would be
safe in respect of his pecuniary
transactions if. legal documents
found In his possession at the time
Of his death, and endeavored to be
enforced by his executors, could be
set aside or altered by the parole
evidence OF the person who had
bound himself"
In this case there Is no corrobo.
rative evidence.
No will has been found, though
diligently searched for. Hence
the Court rules that the evidence of
the defendant, uncorroborated, is
not sufficient to establish a gift or
release, and that judgment must be
rendered for plaintiff.
