An Old Timer Dead.

Word reached Bodie last week that Pat
Holland, one of he best known men on the
coast, had been killed near Tombstone
by being thrown from a buggy. The Free
Press says the accident occurred on the sth Of
June. Mr.. Holland and a saloon-keeper were
out riding when the horses took fright and
ran off tie grade. Both men were thrown
out, but Holland struck against a rock, and
was so severely injured that he died soon
after being taken to town. The deceased was
an old-timer on the Coast, and had been in
every miningicamp discovered. He had been
a newspaper man for many years. and was
the founder of the Phoebe Record in the early
days of that camp.

The Fourth OF July.

We are pleased to learn that some
interest is being manifested among
our citizens in providing some suit
able for the celebration of the
coming National Anniversary of
American Independence. All our
business men are willing TO contrib
ute towards a celebration, and all that
Is wanted is some one to take the
matter in charge and carry it through.
A procession, Grafton and other lit
erary exercises could be gotten up at
little expense, TO wind up with a ball
in the evening. We have in our
midst an abundance of home talent to
carry out any programme of exer-
eises suitable to the patriotic occasion.
Let a committee of citizens take this
matter in hands and give us an old
fashioned Fourth of July celebration.

very bright star, and the whole is an
preaching the sun at "A lively rate.
THIS hitherto unknown celestial tray-
eler comes to take a look at US un-
heralded by any of the great men of
science, or even the Astronomical edi-
tors of the great journals of the day.

not from whence this strange visitor
cometh, whether he is vainly parad-
ing his glory or bent on dire calamity
To our little planet. In due time, we

ARCHIBALD FORBES.

Archibald Forbes, the famous war cor
respondent Of the London Times during
the late war, who is now making a lectur
ing tour of this country. was at the Har-
per House, last evening, and left this
morning for Dubuque, where he lectures
this evening. Perhaps no other war cor
respondent has ever won ssuch a reputa-
ton as Forbes, and his experiences have
been the theme of numerous lectures
He is plain, unassuming gentleman, but
one of the most pleasing of conversational
lists. He has some peculiar ideas of news
paper men and has a happy way of ex
pressing himself that never fails to win
the good graces of his auditors. I
He says:-The English have the idea
that the American lpeoDle: are race Of
ill.mannered. bad tempered people. But
they never were more mistaken II stheir
lives. There are no bad manners in this
country. What has been mistaken for
bad manners is the abruptness. One says
to "a ticket agent: Can you sell me
ticket to such placer He replies: Two
ffty.' land hands one out to you. You
instantly think: Well. you are an i'll
tempered fellow not to answer my question
but on reflection you BECOME satisfied that it
is the most practical way of doing business
on ask man to move little. He does
not hear you and he says, Aye instead
of Beg your pardon, sir. But as soon as
he catches your meaning he Is all polite
ness and takes an interest in your
welfare"
Mr.. Forbes has paid Americans many
other compliments, but the above suffices
to show the coed feeling he has for us.

THE RODMAN RIFLES.

| The regular annual inspection OF the
Rodman Rifles occurred last evening and
was largely attended. The programme
was somewhat disarranged owing to the
change in time of having the inspection oil
the Moline companies. Had the original
time been maintained it was the intention
of the Rifles to have served fine lunch
and had social time in honor of Msjor
Vance the visiting inspector. but this had
to be given up.
The Rifles ssembled promptly at 7:30
D. 10. and fell in line at s O'Clock sharp.
The inspection occupied about half an hour
| and then the company went through the
manuel in fine style and executed some
company movements. after which Major
Vance was obliged to leave for Moline.
He was taken there in a carriage, Capt.
4. e. Wells and Sergeant Ell. Abel acting
as escort, arriving at Moline he inspected
Companies A and B and was then escorted
to the Western Union depot where he took
the train for Fulton.
He expressed himself as highly pleased
with the condition of the command and
regretted that he was unable to enjoy the
hospitality of the Rifles. He spoke of the
splendid reputation enjoyed by the COM
msnd at state headquarters. and sltogeth-
er seemed we'll pleased with the result of
his official visit.
Major Vance commanded Brigade at
Lookout Mountain during the war, Is O
graduate of West Point and thorough
soldier. His pleasant manner and soldier
ly bearing made most excellent impress
sion and the members of the Rifles hope
the opportunity will again present. to
become better acquainted.
It is not unlikely that Major Vance will
be in this vicinity in few months. when
it is hoped he will favor the Rifles with
friendly visit.
The excellent reputation already enjoyed
by the company should be an incentive to
the members to strive to attain great
perfection, and the number also should be
recruited. If the company will take suf-
fcieDt pains, it viii! not only continue to
hold its present reputation, but win fresh
laurels.
