JOKg ON A TEACHER.
"Take n Seat, Sir; L Will Attend
To You I'm q MiDute.o

An amusing, though provoking incident
occurred g few days since in the Sacra-
mento Grammar School. It ia the Gus
tom when a pupil is refractory in one Of
the class rooms. to send him or her to the
Principals room. where punishment Is
metod out. On the day alluded to q
beardless youth walked into the Principals
room and stood looking for q few minutes
at the teacher, who was busily engaged in
giving instructions to her class. She es-
pied him after a time. and in stern tones
said Takes q seat, sir l will attend to
your case in q few minutes" The young
man took a chair and remained for q while
watching the proceedings with interest.
After q time he became tired. got up and
started out. The teacher brought him up
with a round turn by sharply inquiring
where he was going. and on his hating
she inquired his name and from which
room he had been sent, and the nature OF
his offense. "0fense? 2" queried he in
surprise, at hope l have committed no
offense. My name is -; / am a school
teacher in San Francisco, and T. am here
ON a visit to your schools /" The lady's
feelings can better be imagined than de-
scribed. and IL is fair to presume thatsshe
will hereafter be able to distinguish
between visitors and refractory pupils sen.

BROTHER LUNr's GENEROSITY.
Open.Handed Hospitality I'm Cedar
City. Utah.

The Mormons all call each other brother
and sister and their religion teaches them
to extend the helping hand Of charity and
hospitality on all occasions. One cold
Winters night David Cannon, q brother OF
George O., drove up to Brother Lunt's
house in Cedar City and asked II he could
get a nights lodging. ;.
"Oh, certainly, brother. come right in"
said Lunt, rubbing his hands. 1.-The
Saints Of the Lord are always welcome
Cannon went and stayed over night and
the next morning concluded it would be a
good play to proffer Lunt some money,
which was, of course, expected to be re,
turned. In order to make sure he handed
him a S. bill, expecting that Lunt could
not change it.
"That's all I've got," said Cannon, hand
ing him the five.
"Oh, that's all right" said Lunt in an
| off-hand assuring way. "That's enough.
quite enough, sir. I'm not keeping q
regular boarding house. but the Saints
of the Lord are always welcome 10 shelter
In my house."
Cannon walked away musing n had to
borrow money to get home on.

A rancher living in the upper portion Of
Sierra County has q curious specimen
Of the chicken tribe. 1t is q game
rooster differing in but one respect from
others Of the same kind. From the ex-
tremity Of the vertebra grow a pair Of
well-formed legs. pointing upwards.
They do not differ in formation from
the under Ones. and, unlike extra limbs,
are under command Of the owner and
may be used by him. When he be-
comes tired Of standing in his natural
position. he gives a fip-iop and walks off
upside down. He sometimes turns q
number Of summersaults an succession,
out Of pure love for 1t. After he has
taken a drink. he Immediately turns over
SO as to swallow ID more readily. He has
proved q terrible fighter, looking like o
revolving wheel as he kicks In all diree-
tons. What a splendid editor that rooster
would make So says the Sierra Tribune.

Wood River and Bald Heads.

Some time since John Jurgens, who had
Just returned from Wood River, informed
the Silver State that B. L. Powers and
others, who went to that section in the
Spring with bald heads, had luxuriant
crops of hair started after q few months
residence there. Mr.. Jurgens did not
know whether the climate or the water
caused the hair 10 grow. That item has
caused q general rush Of the bald headed
from the East to Wood River. Some OF the
New York illustrated papers give the mat
tor much prominence. and an engraving
In one Of them represents the interior OF
Q hotel Office in one Of the Wood River
towns. in which a number Of bald headed
men are struggling to register their names,
while In the foreground stands Billy Pow
ers, q bushy-haired individual. proudly
showing his new and luxuriant locks to
the new corners.

Messrs. Miller, Moore and Meyers tho

there is hardly q man in all the Great West

G



Herr Equard Strauss. the well-known
musical composer and bandmaster, has
been trying the experiment in Vienna Of
transmitting the sound Of his orchestra
by means OF the telephone. and writes on
the subject to o Vienna journal in the fol-
lowing terms: "The experiment was
brilliantly and surprisingly successful.
Four m~icrophones, OF Ader's system, were
employed. Eight telephones were placed
at a considerable distance from the Or
chestra, in the same house; which dis
lance. however. was artiicially heightened,
by means of cables, to four German miles.
The tone of the whole orchestra was sur
prising, and even a stringed orchestra
sounds like a military band. The flute
and c~larionet, however. keep their tone
and character unchanged. The harp alone
sounds almost like a piano. and the side
drum shriller than Is possible in nature.
The voice retains its full quality of tone"
Herr Strauss intends to give the public an
opportunity Of taking part in these tele-
phonic concerts.

A CRITICISM.
Our Amateurs Render "saratoga"

our Amateurs Render Saratoga )"
at the Eureka Opera House.
1t is not an easy nor a satisfactory job
to compose a critique or an amateur home
theatrical performance. What can You
say about it that is precise and honest ?
What is the point of departure in your
criticism? The actors are unprofessional.
Their presence on the boards is accidental.
A recurrence Of the accident Is not an
ticipated. Their regular business is else
where. The fact that they are amateurs
disarms the critic. 1t will not do to say
that Miss so and so or Mr.. such and such
did well, considering that theater craft is
not his regular business. You can't do
this gracefully, for you mix up a puff with
an apology. There is no performer, how
ever amateur, that is pleased to be consid-
cred superior by reference to a standpoint
that is inferior and apologize. Ia
bubble bursts of itself, you know.
Yet would it not be severe, too,
and unphilosophic, to compare the greater
with the less, to measure the action OF our
unprofessional performers by the criterion
Of dramatic art or by reference to actors
VINO nave localized TINS arr IN tHeir cnaIdc-

lemma. You can neither afford to resort

The Cigarette Consumed Young
Man.

Like q midnight apparition which ban
not be shaken of, the cigarstte-consumed
young man haunts one daily In the streets
and nightly in the theaters and saloons.
His hollow countenance, betokening the
signs Of approaching dissolution, appears
ever and anon between the masses OF death
laden smoke which arise and are waited
into the faces Of healthy pedestrians,
causing sensations Of a sickly nature.
The smile with which he greets you is only
An alleged smile. and the hollow voice
which utters his equally hollow words
CRATES on the ear and makes one think Of

| gifted with speech. His walk IL . totter,

REMINISCENCE.
Something Characteristic OF the
Early Days Of Washoe.

something Charactefnsthc OF tne
Early Days of Washoe.
Col. r. r. Johnson, well known to all
early residents Of Washoe City, was n Of
the greatest yarn spinners that ever came
to the Pacific Coast. He could beat Baron
Munchausen in drawing the long bow"
In the early days Of Sierra County the
Colonel was elected Justice of the Peace
in a mining town, and among the many
curious incidents during the tenure OF his
Office the following occurred: Lloyd FL,
a gentleman we'll known in California and
later in Nevada, was mining and practic-
ing law at the same camp. During q trial
in Johnson's Court 9 dispute arose be-
tween the two on the ruling of the Judge,
and some such a colloquy as this occur
red:
Judge-Sir, the Court understands law
Add sight better than any pettifogging
attorney.
A%ttorney-I think the Court is a regular
id old fool, and is no more hit to pre-
side than l Am to preach the gospel.
~Judge-Sir, il you don't take your seat
and shut up your mouth I'll fine you for
contempt Of Court.
Attorney-Contempt be d--dl You
are a humbug and a son of a b.
The two were standing opposite each
other, with q table between them, and
shaking their fists at each other. Both
were tall and poor F., a very handsome
and much younger man than the Colonel;
but the latter had immensely long arms,
and at the last remark he grabbed the at
torney by the neck, hauled him across the
table. and every time he struck him, said:
"This Court may be a son Of a b, but
it does not know the fact" The young
man got the worst Of the fight, and an adj
journment Of the Court was had to the
brewery, where a key or two of lager was
emptied, after which both Judge and law
yer returned to the Courtroom and the
case was continued. Both gentlemen are
in their graves, but many live that can
~substantiate the truth of the above.
