HIRE AND THERE.

Ex-Judge Nourse, addressinga jury
at Des Moines, quoted as ''the we'll
known words of Martin Van Buren,"
the lines:
There is a tide in the affairs of man.
Which, taken at the food leads on to fortune
The opposing counsel, ex-Judge
Cole, slyly INTERCEPTED that he never
would have supposed Van Buren, gull
ty Of plagiarizing Byron.
The two oarsmen, Messrs. Borucci
and Ferrari, who started out from
Rome to row all the way to Paris in
an outrigger, have arrived safely at
their destination, not, however, with
out meeting with adventures and mis-.
haps on the way. The journey has
occupied just three months. They
proceeded by way OF the Mediterran-
can Sea, the river Rhone, the Saone,
and thence through the Bourgogne
into the Seine.
Prosecutions in California under
United States laws for selling wine
and liquor to Indians are largely far
cical. This is purel y owing to the ua.
reasonable character of the prosecu-
tons, which are often based upon the
sale, not of harmful alcoholic liquor,
but of mild native wine that does no
harm, and is often really needed by
the savage consumer for use upon long
trips through parched country. In
such cases juries are not willing to re-
turn verdicts of guilty. The failure
of the prosecutions may also be
attributed partly to the unwillingness
of many jurors to believe the testi-
mony Of the Indians. The result is
that prisoners are brought to San
Francisco from distant parts of the
State, at great expense to the Gov
ernment, only to be acquitted after
long, vexatious trials.
Mr.. Gerald Lascelles, Secretary Of
the old Hawking Club, sends to the
London Field report of what has
been done this year in the way of
grouse hawking by the trained hawks
belonging to the club and a couple of
its members. A Scotch moor Of no
great extent was taken by these gen.
tlemen, and the club falconer, with a
team of hawks, attended them, assist
ed by their own men and dogs, as
well as their own trained hawks. The
score killed in twenty-four hawking
days, Mr.. Lascelles says, is unrivalled
in the annals of hawking. One Of the
falcons killed, "single-handed," three
blue hares. The same hawk killed
FIVE grouse by herself on three differ
ent days in one week. Six and half
brace Of grouse was the highest score
on any one day, and the sport, which
commenced on the 18th of August,
terminated on the l4th Of September.
