ALONG HILL.-A tavern keeper on
the San Bruno road was aroused one
night by an antiquated Old granger,
who sat over the front wheels Of an
open lumber-wagon, and who was
evidently disturbed about something.
I say, mister said the rustic,
scratching his head with the butt of his
whip; this here's the road to FRISCO,
amt it:'
Certainly; but, old man, what have
you done with your hind wheels?'
Great scottp exclaimed the Old
party, rubbing his specs and looking
behind linn, 'fI haven't gone and lost
them wheels. That explains the whole
thing, though, stranger; seemed like I'd
been going up such an all-fred long hill
I was beginning to think had lost the

UNDER A SPELL.

Snow is falling tonight
So strangely still II has grown
The solitude fills me with fright,
long for the winds low moan.
Vanished the busy world
In my heart It has no place
Ny soul seems tossing TO and fro
Away in the realms Of space.
Tucked in their cozy beds,
Two little forms lie 30 stilll
Pillowed with love their prec.ouI heads,
Conquered and subdued their will.
Dimly know they're mine;
|, too, am under spell;
The silence has built me shrine
Tonight I'll go there and dwell
Back to my childhood hours,
TO these have loved and lost,
To dream the old love-dream once more
Not psusing to count the cost.
Only child tonight
Tomorrow a woman grown,
Full Of the cares and tolls OF life,
Reaping whatever is sown.

The TO ce at the State House remains intact, a d
will be kept so until matters are fully settled, al
every branch of government running in regular
order.
Governor Davis has as vet had but little oppor-
tunity to prepare his message to the Legislature,
but he hopes to have in readiness by the middle Of
the week.
The commit zee appointed by the Fusion Legis!a-
ture to consider whether that body is legal or
ganizltion, have had no meeting, most OF tie COM
mittee having gone home to spend the Sabbath. A
prominent member Of the committee says that
while they might disagree with the Court in regard
to the findings and legal points, that is all it would
amount to- The Count would decide all the acts OF
the Fusion Legislature Illegal and its decision would
be final on all points, and tina. Legislature would
have no standing according to the decision of the
| Court. prominent lawyer on the committee says
he is in favor of making verbal report but will not
place himself upon record against the Court.
The Standard, Democratic paper here will give
long expression of law from its standpoint taking
strong grounds against the decision OF the Court,
and claiming that the Legislature is legally organ
lied, and if denied access to the State House, has
clearly the right to meet and hold Its sessions else
where
Mr.. Sawyer, Secretary of State, gives his reasons
for not admitting Republicans TO the Office of the
Secretary, that advised he could not recognize
them as 4 committee from legal Legislature.
There is considerable opposition to allowing the
Fusion Legislature to meet in the State House to
morrow afternoon. The Republicans claim that il
would be a quasi-indorsement of the body lega
Legislature, while others are willing to permit then
to meet as political caucus No definite plan Ia:
as yet been devised.
At midnight all was quiet at the State House an6

DANGEROUS CURIOSITY 1t is the most
natural thing in the world, when you have
gone to bed, to get up, run to the window,
hoist it and look out at an alarm of fire or
any unusual noise or clamor going on out
side. A lady was reused from her sleep by
a cry of {. fire :" her chamber was as bright
almost as day when she opened her eyes.
She went to the window, and soon saw that it
was her husbands cotton factory. She felt
on the instant shock at the pit of the
stomach the result was painful disease
which troubled her for the remainder of
her life, period of nearly fifteen years. A
young lady just budding into womanhood
ascalled by the sound of midnight music
to the window, and i'll her undress leaned
her arm on the cold sill the next day she
had an attack of inflammation of the lungs
which nearly killed her. She eventually
recovered, only to be the victim OF life
long asthma, the horrible suffering from the
oft-repeated attacks of which, during now
these, twenty years, is the painful penalty,
to be paid over and over again as long IS
life lasts.
