a Berkeley Student at Large.

Another graduate Of Berkeley
turns up on the Chronicle. He
thus describes his meeting with
Gray, the eX-Secretary Of the
Harb0r Commissioners. "The
train slowed up for the reporter
and was off with a shrek like an
angry wraith."
Did the reporter ever hear an
angry wrath shrek ?
"He wore tweed cap with a
low visor on his head"
In speaking Of Gray's brown
dotted trousers he neglects to
mention that he wore them on
his legs. If lie told where the
hat was worn, why did he not
throw some light on the po-
sition of the trowsers?
The reporter found Captain
Lees refreshing himself with
"deuches of cold water.n

The COombe jury.

The Lysn County Time, takes
this view Of the Coombs case
The jury in the Coombs muir
der case at Carson has MADE an
other failure and thereby given
the press of other States d
chance to point to Nevada as
the State where lawless people
can commit crime and run but
a slight chance Of being pun
ished. The jury in the Coonl's
case were evidently a set Of lg-
noramuses-this is the only class
of men that are allowed on
juries nOw-f0r they could come
to no conclusion at all. From
the way this jury has acted in
this matter it shows that there
is a doubt in their minds as to
whether Coombs did the shoot
ing or not. They probab bly, have
an idea that Bill Jones or some
other man killed Ross, and that
COombS was a witness in the
affair, or that some one told
him about it and another man
h I'd accused him Of committing
the crime. a change in this
system of doing things is need
ed, and that very soon.

The Examiner" JoE eS

The excitement caused b,
the shower Of new jokes printed
in the Examiner grows apace
There is much speculation as Il
who is the author. The suppo
sition is that it can be no ether
than Mr.. Hearst himself, but q
careful analysis of the main
features of these jokes leads Us
to suspect that they came from
the pen Of the man who used to
write the famous "-4tt0 brew.
ities," which caused such q
boom in the insane vote of 1874.
Indeed, in the Examiner Of the
22d are two jokes which APP
peared in the Alta in March
This one was in the issue OF
March 18th:
A woman's sphere, if she is
real mad, is sometimes a sugar
bowl.
And this one appeared on the
following day:
1t must have been rather hu-
initiating to Rachel when jacob
lifted up his voice and wept.
We have not the issue Of
March II, 1874, before US, if We
had it we would expect to find
there the leading joke of the
EXAMINER Of the 23t, as it ap-
pears that the present Ercminey'
editor is working through the
Alta on systematic plan. We
trust that the new light thrown
by the APPEAL on this subject
will be duly appreciated and
recognized by our toiling COM
panions in misery Throughout
this coast.

The first word, or the name Of

prominent penmanship, SO that
the postal clerks can see at 4
glance in which direction the
letter should go until it reaches
the State, after which the clerks
ale concerned only with the
name of the town until it
reaches the last postoffice. The
name OF q person to whom

portance in the transmission.

On an irOnclad.

The first nine-inch shot which struck
the AlbermarIe during her engagement
with the Federal Fleet III Albermarle
Sound, says N. Quad, staggered dozen
men and made dozen others cry out.
I have talked with fifty different men
who have fought on board the rams OF
iron-clads, and all agree that the sound
Of a heavy shot striking the heavy az
NOR is something which has no COM
palison. The heavier the wood back
ing the less echo there is when struck,
but the jar of every shot is plainly felt
all over the craft. To the noise of the
cnemys shot is added the fire of the
heavy guns aboard, and it is no wonder
some men are made deaf for days after
ward.
At one time during the fight of the
AJbermarle she received from thirty-five
to forty shots per minute. Men who
had cotton in their ears compared the
situation to one being in a cavern and
hearing a thunderstorm raging outside.
Those whose ears were wide open were
almost deafened, and the flame Of we'll
trimmed lamps died away and was total
Iy extinguished under the outsidepound-
ing. The fight accidentally revealed the
fact that one who placed a small pellet
Of cotton III each ear and some substance
in luis mouth to keep his teeth apart, suf-
fered the least Of all. The same thing
was afterward tried on board of Fed
eral mortar-schoorers and took away
much Of the unpleasant sensation.

worth of combustible chin, besides his
board thrown in. He would tell about
feeding bushels of corn to wild goose
that daily visited his fathers CLOVER

rifle, found half of the bullet on either
side, split by the breast-bone. Beauti-
fully would he relate his favoite, a
