CHANGE OF TEXT BOOKS.

A Suggestion to Parents on the Subject.
The attention of parents and teachers
of Humboldt county is called to the
fact that our State Board Of Education
has lately reviewed it's Recommendation
of the use of Ridpath's or Swnton S
United States History in our public
schools. Qusckenbos' History was in
rse eight years ago, when / first as
sumed the superintendency of the
schools, and though have always re-
gsrded it as poor excuse for a text
book for children, the inconvenience
and expense of a change has deferred
me from making any special effort in
that direction; but the time has come
when / deem change to Ridpash's
grammar edition of United States His
tory 7ery advisable, for the reason that
We now have an opportunity to adopt
textbook that is incomparably
cheaper than Quackenbos', and sppe-
rior to it in every respect. / have
elected arrangements by which Rid
paths History can be supplied to the
schools until January next at the re-
tail cost of only 81 per copy with the
assurance that it will never be higher
than 81 10 or 81 25. As Quackenbos'
retai.s at 81 Is, there win be great
saving in the end in the adoption of
Ridpath's. I tried to effect an ex-
change with the publishers, bat failed,
only securing reduced rates for sea-
son, Children who already have Quack-
enbos', and who prefer not to purchase
Ridpath's, will not De required to do
so, for the reason that the change is
not imperative, only earnestly recon-
mended. 1t is hoped, however, that
no more purchases of Quackenbos' may
be made, end that teachers will CO.
operate in disoouragAg its use, so that,
at least, a gradual change to better
textbook may be coasummated as early
as practicable. Respectfully,
G.. CHENowETH.
County School Superintendent.

Three DAYS Racing at Paradise and Pro-
badly Two in Winnemueca.
The people OF Paradise are r.aking
arrangements for three days races, to
come off over their new course early in
October We are informed that they
will put up s., 600 in purses, to be com
peted for by horses from Southeastern
Oregon and Northern Nevada. 1t is
intended to have at least eight races.
The track Is being pat III tirst-class
order, and inducements will be held out
to horselnen within TIE prescribed
limits, to enter for the premiums.
The Winnemucca Jockey Club will
probably arrange for two days races
over the course here few days after
the Paradise races, so that the same
horses can run here as we'll as there.

AN ARIZONA COURT.
How Disciple of Blackstone Pasted His

Honor in the Eye.
From the Arizona Star of August l9th.l
This is the way they keep the judicial
pot boiling in Tombstone Owing to
some private difficulty between Mr.!
Harry b. Jones, counselor.at-law,a and
Justice of the Peace James Reilly, the
latter ordered the former out OF Court
unless he apologized TO him when he
came to take his seat as counsel for
Perrfhe, who is charged With murder.
Mr.. Jones took no notice and sat down
beside his client. This incehsed Judge
Reilly to such a degree that he came
from behind his judicial desk, grasped
Jones by the throat and attempted to
throw him out Jones then hit His Honor
in the eye. Deputy Sheriff carp, who
was in another part of the Court, as
soon as possible separated them and ar
rested Jones, telling the Justice to con-
slider himself also under arrest. Jones
WAS taken before Justice Gray, and his
case was to come up for examination
yesterday, as also Justice Reilly's, for
whose arrest Deputy Sheriff carp had
in the meantime procured warrant.
AS soon as Mr.. Jones reappeared in
Justice Reilly's Court His Honor fined
him S25 and one days Imprisonment.
He was brought down Tuesday night
from Tombstone in charge of carp, and
came up on writ of habeas corpus be-
fore Probate Judge Woods yesterday at
one o'clock. The order of commitment
proving defective, and the punishment
imposed for the contempt greater than
Justice can infict, the prisoner was at
oree discharged FROM custody on motion
of the District Attorney. To-day
they'll 60 at it again.

Why People Go to Charch.

The Christian editor of an Idaho pa
per gives the following reasons why
people go to church: "Some few go for
strictly devotional purposes. and all
honor be to them. But the majority
attend church for far different reasons.
One goes because the music is good, an
other stays away because the music is
bad. One goes because his neighbor
goes, another stays at home because his
neighbor does. One goes because it is
an cminently respectable thing to do
and gives one certain position in So
ciety, and another stays away because
he delights in being looked upon as a
man Of great independence Of thought.
Few, however, are quite as honest as
the young lady who, on being asked if
she expected to attend service the next
day, replied, 'Yes, if my new dress
comes home and fits me we'll shall

blooded negro woman, holding two chill
dren on her lap, while tour others, under
charge of Chinese servant, rolled aud
tumbled over the seats and dO~u the aisles
Of the Car. There was nothing 80 peculiar
either in the appearance Of the man or
woman, for so the reporter found them TO
be, but the six children, the oldest of
whom was nine years of age, were the most
singular combination Of negro and Chiurse
imaginable. The hair was crisp and curly
their skin very dark, but the shape Of their
head aud their almond shaped ewes showed
their paternity too d,stinctly for any mis-
take. Tney jabbered away with their
father III his native tongue in an artless
manner, while At the same time they kspt
the passengers In convulsions of laughter
With contortious and grimaces which would
have done infinite credit to the stage Of
negro minstrelsy. The reporter ascertain
cd that the name Of the ChiUaman was

became euamored Of negro slave. He
saved enough money TO purchase her free
