School is Out,

A day or two since a withered up
little old man entered the Central
Station and asked to be sent up as
a vagrant, adding as he took a
chair:
"School is out and vacation will
last forever"
Being questioned it was found he
had journeyed here on foot from
New England, and was out of funds
and broken in health.
"Pm sixty-seven to-day" he said,
as he took of his hat, land I've

He was given a cell, and after a

Transplantinr at Nirht.

A gentleman, anxious to ascer-
tain the effect of transplanting at
night, instead of by day, made an
experiment with the following re-
suits: He transplanted ten cherry
trees while in bloom, commencing
at 1 O'Clock in the afternoon. Those
transplanted during the daylight
shed their blossoms, producing lit
tie or no fruit; while those trans
planted in the dark maintained
their condition fully. He did the
same with ten dwarf trees, after the
fruit was one-third grown. Those
transplanted during the day shed
their fruit, those during the night
perfected their crop, and showed nc
injury from having been removed.
II am very much afraid of light
ning." said a pretty lady. ~And

A Wonderful Dinner,

A magnificent dinner was that
which was given on February 10th,
1476, in Naples, by Benedetto Salu-
tati, of Florence, to the sons of the
NeapolitRn King Ferrene. As q
preliminary course there vas little
gilded cakes of pine kernels, and
small majolica bowls, with some
kind of fancy preparation of milk.
Then came eight silver platters, with
gelatine of capon's breast, orna-
mented with heraldic devices, the
dish, for the most distinguished
guest, the Duke of CaIabria, having
a fountain in the middle showering
a spray of orange water. Tue first
part of the meal consisted of twelve
courses OF meats, including venison,
veal, ham, pheassnts, partridges,
capons, chickens and blanc mango.
At the close a great silver dish was
placed before the Duke, and when
the cover was raised a flock of
birds flew up. On two enormous
platters stood two pescocks, appa-
rently alive and with tails spread; /;
in their beaks they held burning
perfumed essence, and on their
breasts were silken ribbons, with
the Dukes arms. The second di-
vision consisted of nine courses of
various sweet dishes, tarts, marzi
pan and light, ornamental cakes,
with hippokras,a kind of spicedwine.
There were fifteen kinds of wine,
mostly native Italian and Sicilian.
At the close Of the meal the guests
washed their hands in perfumed
water, and after the removal of the
cloth a mound of green twigs with
costly essences were placed on the
table, the perfume of which filled
the room. During and after the
meal there was music and a panto-
mime. After an hours pause there
was a dessert of confectionery,
served in dishes of silver, with or
namented covers of sugar and wax.

TRUTH CRUSHED TO EARTH.

In the Enterprise of Saturday was an
editorial relative to the manner in which the
Cocks had fooled the public in the Alta deal.
The language might have been rather strong
in spots, but we opine that the unfortunate
victims who loaded up a. $50 share took no
exceptions to it on that score. Doubtless the
writer considered his opinion of the Cooks
well founded; and it is also probable that
more people Endorsed that particular article
than anything editorially that the editor had
written for long time. Just, however, as
he readers of the paper were beginning TO
side OF the public, what should appear but
the following correction from the Trustees of
the paper as follows:
The Board of Trustees Of this journal state
Most emphatically that the series Of editorials
in yesterdays Enterprise, denouncing the
management OF the Alta and Standard mines,
and connecting the names OF Messrs. Seth
and Daniel Cook, or any other gentleman
Herewith, WAS entirely unauthorized and
published without the knowledge or consent
of the Board. and is by it hereby utterly re-
pudiated..
Ne matter what the Trustees of the Enter
prise may say, the public Will still have de-
cided opinion regarding the management of
the Alta. 1t has been too dark and myster-
ious to be square. After the diamond drills
we're run and assays were made there was no
mention made os them liz the Superintepd-
ent's report, although the law directly says
that such assays shall be Immediately reported
by the superintendent under oath. In the
Stock Report of last Saturday number of the
Trustees published "a card to the public in
which they stated that they had been wholly
kept in the dark regarding the character of
the developments in Alta, and that the only
information which had reached San Francisco
had come through the medium of the dis
patches. Now what rights has Dan Cook
in the Alta mine which any other stakeholder
is not equally entitled te? Why does the
Superintendent communicate with Cook i'll
cypher, and in his weekly letter disguise the
real facts to the stockholders2 Just as the
bubble was ready to burst water floods the
lower levels--an old trick-and now the
has ample excuse for not show
ing up development for some months to
come. 1t can hide the fact that the mine is
q failure, or it can conceal the existence of an
ore body until the public, considering the
mine humbug, will part with the stock.
The sudden Influx Of water looks suspicious
when diamond drills were feeling their way
ahead Of the drift. Taking all things into
the stsckhslders for some time
yet will be content to let the anti Cook
editorial stand as originally written. When
the Alta people have developed mine it is
time enough to present apologies for any ad-
verse criticisms which might have appeared
relative to the late deal, which is universally
looked upon as pure and simple swindis.
The declaimer in Sundays Enterprise is evil
IDENTIFY case of truth crushed to earth-or
more probably the counter.
