am more charitable with him
than he is with me) that the sum OF
"over 1000" as named, included
furniture, fixtures &C., which
should have been deducted from
the cost of the building proper, be-
fore the calculation as regards per-
centage was made. But all of this
does not materially change the
matter.
That the members of the church
started out with the intent and pur-
pose of erecting a $4,000 building
is true, and that this was, very natu-
rally, their original estimated cost
of that building is true, and my
friend, Mr.. j., with all of his
mistakes" cannot change it, is
true for the third time. If the
church, or the building committee,
desired TO increase their fund and
erect a finer building than was at
first proposed, they had a right to
do so, but this could not change the
amount of their "originaI estimated
cost" OF that building.

A Condemned Mans Little Girl.

"Papa, dear papa, Pm glad you're
going to die, for you know, papa,
that if you were not going to die,
you would be taken away off
into a dark prison where l could
never see you any more; and you
know papa, that would grieve you
so much that you would not live
very long anyhow, so l think every
thing is best as it is, don't you, pa
pa? And | will grow up to. be a
big girl, and will be so good, papa,
that every one will love me, and /
will never forget you, papa, nor
how much you loved your little
Mary" This strangely affecting
speech was made in the st. Louis
Jail to man who was to be hanged.

AN important test case was de-
cided in the United States district
court on 9th ult. by Judge T.. $.
Hammond. The full text of the
opinion, which Is very able one,
is printed in the Avalanche to-day.
The Tennessee constitution provides
that "every officer should hold his
office until his successor is elected
orappointed and qualified" Twen-
ty one magistrates of Lauderdale
county resigned their Offices To
evade obedience to q peremptory
mandamus that had been served
upon them requiring them to levy
tax to pay judgement against the
county on bonds issued in aid Of
the Memphis and Paducah rail-
way They were assigned for con-
tempt and IL was held by Judge
Hammond that under the state
constitution every resigning officer
must continue i'm the discharge of
his duties until his successor is
elected or appointed and qualified
and that the official remains under
ar obligation to obey writ Of man
damus, Notwithstanding his resign
alton, and is guilty of contempt if
he fails to comply with the writ,
and this obligation passes to his
successor. The effect Ofthe decision
is that the resignation Ofthe twenty
one magistrates is void until their
successors have been duly elected
and qualified. Until then they are
members of the county court and
must levy tax to pay the judg-
ment or go to Jail for contempt.
Judge Hammond ordered an alias
mandamus to levy the tax next
April, and If there should be further
disobediedce of the writ by the
magistrates they will be fined tn the
full amount of the judgment. This
is a criminal case and there is no
appeal from this decision. "A large
numter Of other judgments against
Lauderdale and other counties are
involved i'm the decision of this
case. .--Memphis AUdtanche.

P. S.-Since writing the above,
/ have learned from several promi-
nent members of the Episcopal
church the following facts which
should be stated:
That it was the original intention
of the members to build a $4,000
church that money was subscribed
with that view; that Mr.. Drane
proposed to give one-half of the
amount necessary, which was S10,-
600, and that an architect was in
structed to furnish plans &c. for a
house to cost $4,000. But that
after this and after the old building
was torn down and the new one
commenced, it was learned that
$50, 900 would not build as fine a
house as was wanted, and the
amount, or estimates, was increased
by the architect to about S27 200.
And 1 also learned, which should
be stated in justice to Mr.. Johnson's
expensive church building habits, (for

HAD TO LEAVE THE CITY.

Yesterday morning about o'clock, az
officer jackson was passing down X street,
near Second, he observed one of those human
drones who exc cut miserable existence by
living upon the shame Of others. The officer
placed him under arrest and started for the
station house. On the way be asked the
privilege of stopping at saloon for the pur-
pose of writing note to friend in San
Francisco Permission was granted. The
follows: Friend jim Tell Chris Buckley
they are trying to run me for yag in Sacra-
mento." He remarked to the officer that he
had lots of friends in Frisco, and that if he
ever caught him there he would make it hot
for him. jackson then started toward the
station. house with his man, but before arfiv-
ing the fellow promised to leave the city i'm
mediately if granted his liberty. Upon these
conditions the officer started him for the
depot. jackson then took position on Sec
ond and kstreets, 30 ss to watch results. In
about fifteen minutes he saw him coming
back. Just as he was in the act of pass.
ing, the clutches Of the law were
again placed on him. The officer
then took him TO tie lookup, and, arriving,
inteHogated him as to why he returned. In
reply he said that the ticket agent had al
ready stopped selling tickets, and that the
officers in charge Of the train refused to let
him on, and that he was opposed to travelling
by foot and walker liue aud thought it best
to extend his visit in Sacramento. At a
quarter past o'clock yesterday afternoon he
was let cut and ordered to leave Sacramento
by the San Francisco train, or if found upon
the streets he woGld be arrested for yagrancy
and sent to the chain-gang. The officers say
that this ia one of the many peculiar cases
that frequently Gene under their observation.
They also say that men of this stamp have
been focking into the city for number of days
and that good many Of them have already
been locked up. They propose arresting

BRITISH C0IuMRIA.
Determined Attempt to XIII ulmseI

Determined Attempt TO XIII Himself.
VI0ToRIA, August 3oth.-=Last night, about
1880 o'clock, Captain Lambie, of the British
bark Albany, lately arrived from New York,
aud now loading salmon for London, while
laboring under temporary insanity, attempted
to cut his throat with blunt knife in the
cabin of his vessel. He only succeeded, how.
ever, in inficsing SLIGHT cash, the knife
being too dull. He then seized pistol, and
placing it to his right temple fred. the bullet
entering about half an inch. The weapon
must have been very small one, or it would
have killed the unfortunate man instantly
Not content with this, he placed the pistol
against his head second time and discharged
the weapon, the ball lodging 10 the side of
his head just above the ear. This second
shot had no effect il disabling him, for Cap
tain Lambis proceeded up town and walked
into saloon. where he met Captain Stephens,
Of the bark Girvan. After conversipg while,
Captain Lanbie said, 81 have shot myself. +"
Il don't believe IT," replied Captain Ste.
phens. The wounded man raised his hat and
showed Captain Stephens the wounds in his
temple made by the bullets, but Captain
Stephens was still doubtful, and said, "You
must have fallen and hurt yourself" Cap.
tain L1mbie then went on board his vessel,
and nothing was known of the matter until
this morning, when the mate of the ALBANY,
noticing blood on the Captains face, asked
him what was the matter, and was told by
the Captain that he had shot himself,
Medical assistance was Immediately procured.
The medical men tried to extract the bullets,
which were firmly embedded in the skull, but
without success, as the Captain by that time
had recovered consciousness and violently re-
sisted the doctors efforts. He was then re-
moved to the Royal Hospital, where he was
placed under the influence Of chloroform and
the bullets extracted. The condition of the
man is very precarious, as the skull is tract.

NAMING A MINE AFTER HIS GIRL


A young aud enthusiastic pros pector re
turned to this city yesterday from Wood
River, looking bronze and weather. beaten.
He hadn't proceeded far on his way home
before meeting his sweetheart going to the
depot to meet him.
"Why, George, you look just like an
old smoked ham" were the endearing
words that greeted him.
George had been living on ham for the
past two months, and when his girl referred
to that article he didn't know but there
was something hoggish- looking about him.
Nothing mean or hoggish about me,
JaEe; bet your bangs on that. Found a
mine up in Wood River and named i.
Jane, after you"
What are you giving me, dear George
What do you take me for?"
Fact, Jane named it after you."
How jealous that'll make the other
girls in the Fifteenth Ward. Won't their
bangs curl down on their for'ard? Won'i
the green-eyed monster rankle in theil
bosarums, though Oh, you re so nice,
dear George"
Aud Jane laughed all over, and insisted
upon carrying his blankets and the grip
sack.
That's all right, Jane carry this over
coat, too"
How did you come to name the min;
after me, you too-too-tootsy George ?"
Because it didn't amount to anything.
Nothing in it, Jane"
When the grip-saek came down on his
head George thought snow.slide ha6
struck him, and he swears he will never
name another mine after a Salt Lake girl
