were sufficient to cause death-one
high enough on the head to reach the
brain. The story of Mr. Click was that
he dreamed the negroes had entered
the store as anticipated by himself and
Mr.. Phelps. Then followed according
to his recollection. A bloody and
terrible fight. When he awoke he was
fleeing down the stairs, and gradually
recovering consciousness, he returned
to the room where he and Phelps had
been sleeping and realized at u glance
the full horror ofhis deed. He at once
fled screaming to the house of Mr.. Grub
near by, and was met by that gentle
man, who was aroused by his cries.
Mr.. Grub said his lamentations were
heartrending, and that he told him at
once that he had killed his best friend
in his sleep. The alarm soon became
general, and the neighbors collected
from all quarters. They all testified
that Click exhibited his regret in a
most violent manner, and finally be-
came so exhausted that he had to be

known to get up and choke some Of the
family saying the bears in Texas were
after him, and then run q quarter of a
mile down near the river, and wake to
find himself alone When he
went visiting he requested his
neighbors to tie him, which they
did. Last week he went to sleep in the
room where his dead uncle lay corpse.
He suddenly arose with terrible express
sions of fear, and started to seize his
dead uncle. His sister and q gentle
man caught him and got him awake,
and he went back to bed. Many in

satistisfied from the evidence that the
prisoner WAS not accountable for his
actions while asleep. pronounced the
evidence insufficient whereupen Mr..
Click returned to his home.

Near the banks of that lone river,
Where the water lilies grow,
Breathed the fairest flower that ever
Bloolncd and faded-years ago:
How we met, and how we parted.
None on earth will ever know
And now pure and gentle-hearted
Was my loved ono years ago.
Like the stream with lilies laden
Will life's future current flow,
Till in Heaven I meet the maiden
Fondly cherished years ago;
Hearts that love like mine forget not
Aye the same in veal or woe;
And the star of memory sots not
In the grave Of years ago.

London Telegraph.


1t would appear that the vehement
opposition offered by the Bonaparte
family to the engagement contracted
some months ago by Prince Roland
Bonaparte and Mile. Blanc, principal
heiress to the enormous fortune
amassed by the late high priest of
, rouge. et-noir, has proved fruitless, and
that the wedding Of the happy pair is
fixed for the first of October next The
mother of the future princess has
caused Il splendid villa to be erected for
the young couple in the Cascine Of
Florence, whittier they will repair at
the conclusion Of their honeymoon.
Prince Roland holds commission in
the republican army as sub-lieutenant
of artillery, and, being totally destitute
of private means, has hitherto con-
trived to live upon his pay, an achieve
ment which speaks highly in his favor.
By his marriage with Mile. Blanc he
will become the wealthiest scion of the
house of Bonaparte- an event contem-
plated with extreme disfavor by some
among his illlstrious kinsfolk, who
have hitherto persistently ignored the
very existence Of his mother, sister and
himself Prince Roland, however,
whose conduct in adversely has been,
according to all accounts, highly praise
worthy, may be deservedly congratu-
lated upon having gained SO magniti-
cent prize in the matrimonial lottery

Burning away this veil of earthly dust
And behold thee, beautiful and strong,
My grand, pure perfect Angel wise and JUST
If strong passion Of my mortal life
Should in vital essence still remain.

And in one transport, ardent, wild and sweet.

A Big show Worth Going to See.


The time will probably never come
in the history of the human race
when the people will got tired of
visiting good first class entertain

received word from the agent of the
Great Inter Ocean, a new show COM
posed of dozen or more consolidated

in the world of amusements, that the
entire vast consolidation is to xhibit
in Oakland, on Thursday October
18th, and gives two full and COM
plete performance on that day. This
show was named in honor of the
Chicago Daily of the same name,
and right we'll does the namesake
keep faith with the public in all it
advertises to perform. The wonder
full Electrict light is one of the nu-
merous features of tie Inter. Ocean,
and it is said to be by far the finest
of the kind ever seen in any show in
the world.
The public like enterprise, new | ife

ances these are just the qualities that
conspire to make success of the
Inter Ocean, and why il is patronized
daily by the largest crowds that ever
witnessed any show. The beautiful
Electric light exhibited by this show
is said to be the finest in the ceun-

Registrations.

The officers of registration through
cut TIE county. will again open their
offices on Monday, the 4th of October
and will remain open until o'clock,
Tuesday evening, for the purpose OF
correcting the list by striking there
from the names of such who are
disqualified and adding thereto those
who shall become qualified prior to
the election. AT the recent sitting of
the Registers there was quite a large
number registered, and there are
doubtless many who failed to apply
for registration. To all such we have
to say that this will be their last 3D.
portunity, and if these fail to register
on either of the above mentioned
days they will be debarred from vot.
ing on election day. 1t is the duty of
every good citizen to vote, but i'm Or
der to do so it is absolutely necessary
to have their names duly registered.
Those who have removed from one
election district to another since the
last registration, must have their
names transferred to the books of the
district in which they are at presen..
otherwise they cannot vote. We
trust the Republicans in the several
districts will attend to this matter.
and see that every Republican in
their respective districts is properly
registered. Don't forget the time
The Registers meet on Monday and
