A SUICIDE of an unusual character Is
reported from Calcutta. The scene of
the tragedy was the geological gardens
and the chief actor-or rather actress
was a wild ass of the gentler sex. Two
years ago, by the liberality of Sir Will
liam Merewether, the gardens were en-
riched by couple of wild asses from
Scinde. These animals are valuable, as
the breed is now very rare. Unfornately,
the male, transported to unwonted
scenes, did not long survive the change.
The faithful consort, bereft of her mate,
committed suicide by dashing her head
against the iron railing of the paddock
until it gave way, and broken point
entered her skull, causing death. Only
half an hour before death ii had been
noticed to be in perfect health, nor did
the post mortem examination reveal
any trace of disease.

II printing paper continues to ad-
vance, newspapers will be forced to use
common white satin with a plain gilt
border instead. They will much dis
ike to resort to so cheap a substitute,
but when rag print puts on pair OF
telegraph climbers and the paper men
plunge their thumbs into the arm
of their vests and ask you what you are
going to do about it, something must be
done, and it is to be hoped that the
reading public will gracefully submit to
having their newspapers printed on IN
expensive material until these bloated
straw-stack and rag-bag holders can be
driven to the wall. and publishers can
afford to return to the use of paper.
We're in for barking down the giant
monopoly, and If it becomes necessary
to print the paper on a bleached rubber
blanket and have men go around and
hold it while people read it, we shall
not shrink from our duty when yolun-
teers are called for.

AN exchange says: 1t is impossible
TO convey to the reader an idea of the
vast valuable forests of pine, fir and
cedar, both in Oregon and Washington:
Trees two hundred and two hundred
and fifty feet high and six feet in di-
ameter are never out Of view; eight
and tenfeet in diameter and three nun
bred feet high are not uncommon gem
orally two-thirds are free of limbs.
Fifty and sixty good timber trees grow
on an acre, as a rule, and yield seldom
loss than three hundred thousand feet
and instances are on record of one mil
lion feet from an acre. No acre is work
ed for profit which will not yield three
hundred thousand feet at least, and
even this Weld is rare.

A jeweler of high standing stated that
some young ladies. whose parents keep
accounts with him, frequently want
some ornaments for an evening, and in
stead of renting them from lender
they get him to send home for their
mothers inspection some set that suits
their fancy. It is worn that evening,
and returned next day as unsuitable.
This, and other devices of similar ma
ture, are resorted to by scheming fe-
males to deck their persons with
valuable ornaments, without incuring
any expense other than the telling of a
few falsehoods.

ONE of the most useful implements
that can be used on the farm Is the
iield-roller. 1t brushes the clods, levels
and smooths the ground, and presses
the earth firmly upon and around the
seed which causes them to sprout and
grow much earlier. of course the
ground should be dry when the roller
is used. In very dry weather a good
rolling Of the ground will frequently
cause seed to grow when otherwise they
would not have terminated.

THR LAW AND THE CaIMINAL.-Nevada has
gal hangngs were by no means frequen: oc-
currences aud where the law of violence and
blood shed held the supremacy over the law
of the land. The Bodie Standard congrstu-
lates the people Of Nevada that there are five
murderers in its jails under sentence OF death.
There are five men in the State at present
upon whom sentence of death has been pro,
nounced: Pritchard, Hymer, lopez, Lane and
Mcintyre. 1t is notat all probable however,
that these men will ever be hung. In this
country after man has been sentenced to
death he wakes up and begins to wrestle with
his care in deal earnest. When nan is on
trial for a murder, with the recolections of
the dead still fresh IN the minds of the cummu
nifty, he is looked upon as person who de-
serves nothing less than lynching As soon as
he is convicted and sentenced. the sympathies
of the community begin to warm toward him,
and he gets new hearing on some technical
ity, error in ruling, some flaw in the ndict-
ment, or some slight sin Of omission or com
mission in the trial of the case Then the
whole machinery of the law is set at work and
although the mill grinds slowly it grinds for
the criminal all the while aud in a few years,
a smart lawyer delivers him, sound in mind
and limb to the community where his crime
was committed. OF the five men under SEN
tence for murder not more than one will be
hung, and that one is probably Lopez, poor
Mexican who has neither friends nor money.
