the past two years. His fate was COM
passed by cowardly assassin who can
only find an excuse for their bloody
work in the rigorous reign of their vic
tim, who seems Of late year to have
been universally regarded as tyrant
by his subjects.
THE HONEST FARMER.-The Grass
Valley Free Lance.
The potato growers of our valleys put
their largest spuds at the mouths of
their sacks and hold meetings at which
they talk about the dishonesty of min
ers. We would not have, for the world,
the potato growers brought into public
notice on account of that practice.
1t requires a man of considerable
nerve to talk that way right in the
midst of an agricultural region. 1t is
nevertheless true, that the "honest
old farmers" resort to thousands Of
trickeries to get the better of the rest
of the world. This ver(lant and horny
listed old agricultura!ist who appears to
be the personifcatiOn of innocence
really sharper than serpent's tooth, a
bunkO man, or horse jockey.
VERY LOUD.-A reporter Of the San
Francisco Examiner closes long article
on women's night dresses with the fol-
lowing dreadful paragraphs:
While on this general subject / may
as well say that with the increasing use
of porous plasters, liver pads, heart discs
and electric breaStpiates, the body Of
the average woman when she undresses
for bed is grotesquely spotted.
In the good old days when Phil. Roach
ran the E'c0miRer, such wicked para
graphs never would have crept in. The
reporters kept away from lady's cham
bers and did not pry into the myster
les of the feminine toilet, but devoted
their time to legitimate fires and DEM
ocratic mass meetings.
A traveller in India writes that he
has seen in a bazaar a devotee who has
lain for sixteen years on bed of nails.
His body was full Of sores. Another
aspiring saint was holding fiower-pot
at arms length, ana had held it in that
position for five years. 4 third stood
with hi, arm uplifted and without
power 10 move a muscle, the arm be-
ing apparently stiff and the long finger
nails growing into the wrist. They all
seemed to take q gloomy view of life.
Professor TyIidall has paid rare trib-
ute to the genius of Emerson. He says:
The first time I ever knew Ralph Wal
do Emerson, was when, years ago, a
young man, l picked up Oh stall
copy OF his "Nature.' I read it with
such delight, and have never ceased
to read it; and if any one can be said to
have given the impulse to my mind, it
is Emerson. Whatever l have done,
the world owes to him.
Many years ago there was great ex-
citement in this State over sack car
ried about by one Gridley, and through
this sack of flour some $4,000 was
raised to help preserve the American
Union. 70 this day the appearance of
sack at certain seasons causes as much
excitcment IS ever, but the character of
the sack has during the past few years
gone through some very material chan
ges.
The Grass Valley Free Lance is in
great stew because woman has been
appointed Superintendent of a mine. |
We see 10 reason who woman may
not, with few months practice, learn
to sit in an Office, draw her pay, and |
smoke cigarettes, with her heels rest
ing on a $3.50 table, just as well as a
jnan.
