 reporter on a San Francisco paper wrote the following account of his hated rivals marriage: ''The bride was radiant in a beautiful lavender silk dress, with orange wreath and 6-button No. g kid gloves, slight ly burst in the thumbs. The groom was as straight as black cloth suit constructed by the best tailor on Tehama street could make him, and as red in the face as was consistent with pair of boots two sizes too small and No. 13 collar encircling his manly 169-inch neck. Fortunately before the ceremony was over the restraining button on the back of his shirt flew out and saved him from stran- gulation."
 A touching obituary in a western paper closes with the following pathetic stanza:

 From that celestial shore;
 She Tapped her wings and away she went
 To make one angel more.

 But she'd sit all the day,
 And she'd hammer away,

 Canton Zurich and the following day one equally strong at Lausanne March 12th fif- teen slight shocks were felt at Perugia and Fuligno, in Italy. To these we must add the most terrible of all, that which this month devastated Chios. The increased frequency of earthquakes in Switzerland is significant

 It has been supposed that lottery legal ized by State and authorized to conduct it's operations by legislative enactment could not be declared fraudulent by the Post master General, under the statute al- lowing him to prohibit the delivery of mail matter to persons conducting swindling oper- ations, Every State in the United States has prohibited lotteries, with the exception of Louisiana, which for heavy license fee has granted permit to lottery scheme calling itself by the name of the State and conduct ed under the patronage of two eminent ex- Confederate Generals. This has been de- clared fraudulent by Postmaster General James, and orders issued to return to their writers the letters directed to it. From this an appeal was taken by the managers, and the Attorney General has just pronounced an opinion that the Postmaster General is the sole judge of the evidence, and is not to be restrained by any license from State. This is in substance giving the Postmaster General authority to pronounce all lotteries fraudulent.
 Mr. Edward B. Reynolds of Cleveland, Ohio, is an ambitious inventor He has pa tented contrivance whereby he claims that an entire city may be lighted and its houses heated from common point. The device consists of an air-tight cylinder, into which Is Introduced paste compound of certain properties of gasoline and powdered char coal, on top of which is packed tightly some fbrous material such as cotton. Through u pipe in one end of this cylinder is forced atmospheric air, subjected to a greater or less degree of compression, according as heat or light is desired, and the product that results from this combination and these con- ditions is led from the other end of the cyl inder into receiver, with which pipes are connected, which convey the air, just as coal gas is now conducted. The greater the press ure the more intense the heat and under sufficient compression very intense light is produced. Mir. Reynolds has in his labora- tory one of his machines. The light from the burners is far more intense than con- mon gas six-foot burner, while the heat from one jet is sufficient to melt one-fourth inch iron bar in thirty seconds. A chemical analy- sis of the gas conveyed from the receiver showed that under ordinary circumstances, eighty per cent. was oxyhydrogen gas, while with extra pressure ninety-fve per cent. has been obtained. Reynolds claims that he has had four lights burning for four weeks, with an intensity double that of ordinary gas, at an expense of only ten cents.

It would naturally be supposed that people would not neglect or forget that they have money, or that money or interest is due them. But many people do neglect and for get it, as is shown by the fact that there is now in the national treasury near $1 ,500, 900 of unclaimed interest on government bonds, and the sum is increasing every day.

The inaugural address Of President
Garfield Is fiashy and therefore trashy.
Il nowhere bears the impress Of deep
study. Of profound thought. or Of
statesmanlike comprehension Of the
vital questions Of government It may
be claimed for the production that II Il
well written. that its syntax is unob-
iectionabIe. Admit il. Still the adj
dress is little more than u bundle Of
glittering generalities. and scarcely
rises above the oratorical triumphs wit
messed IN the arenas where sophomores
spout. The whole thing is Of the sky
rocket order, seemingly intended to
please the rabble. The reference to
the fact that the Republic has grown
during the past hundred years Is ex.
tended to the utmost limit OF clap-trap
rhetorical ilapdoodle. The frcedmanFs
ballot, ignorance. education. etc.. ARE
thrown into a tumble. Illiteracy is de-
plored. while intelligence Is commend
ed. and, while the President declares
that ignorance Is the great danger Of
the Republic, he ID determined that II
shall Be potential in shaping the desti-
MES Of the country In matters Of
finances, he fully commits himself to
the custody Of the National Banks as
against the interests Of the taxpayers
With regard to the encroachments Of
the power Of corporations, he i as 81

he says half the people Of tho United
States are engaged, he dismisses with less
than twenty lines, and says nothing &C
that. He hints at the Monroe doctrine.

It is to be hoped that the proposition
to close all business houses tomorrow,
recommended by the Governor in his
proclamation, and heartily endorsed at
the citizens meeting, will be observed
in Carson without any exceptions. We
feel reasonably certain that no business
man of our town will permit his greed
to influence him in attempting to do
business that day, for such an act would
be in the worst of taste. All can afford
to unite on this occasion in one day of
over the Nations loss.

There is nothing loftier than this in all
history. It eXalts American manhood
everywhere, and makes men exalt,
even while they weep. The country
sorely needed more years Of the life of
its dead President; but lie who has
gone needed nothing more, for though
from poverty and obscurity, he had not
fifty years in which to do his work,
he SO lived and wrought that the
measure of his life is full. Beside Lin
coin and Washington he takes his place,
and around his dust all Christian peO-
pie stand as mOurners.
