about S o'clock, County Treasurer Neviu
gave A. L. Edwards, who was for time in
the Tressurer's office IS Deputy. a terrible
beating. Edwards WAS in the Rscorder's
office alone at the time, and Nevin beat and
kicked him in the face sud about the body
till he was tired. Edwards is now under the
hands OF doctor. He had q severe chill,
and at one time it was thought he would die

will eventually come out all right. The rea-
son of the assault WAS an item in the CkrOa-
lcte this evening, to the effect that the Bank
OF California refused 70 cash the warrants Of
school teachers signed by Nevin unless on an
order from the County Commissioners. This
was mistake, SIS the bank did rot refuse to
cssh the warrants. 1t appears that Neviu
Thoughts Edwards had something to do with
the appearance of the item. The people here
consider the assault bad thing for Nevip,

HcME-MADB APPARATUS.

Some people conclude that, if they can
not possess a tirst-class instrument OF this
or that kind, they are better off without
any; but moments consideration will
show the fallacy of this conclusion, and
that, on the contrary, even poor instru-
ment OF observation or precision, or gen.
orally of research, in aid Of the senses-be
it telescope, microscope, spectroscope, bal.
ance, Thermometer, chronomeser or ehemi-
cal reagents vastly better than none
We have but to remember the great strides
made in the acquisition of knowledge by
the aid of the very imperfect first-forms of
every instrument which has been invented,
to be assured of this. Moreover, reflect
so far as vision is concerned, men, on an
average, without instrumental assistance,
are inexorably kept at a distance from
" things" of ten inches, and must view
them under the angle thence subtended.
But the use Of a simple lens of two and
half inches focus annihilates three-fourths
of this distance, quadruples the angle of
vision, and enables US to see objects only
one-sixteenth as large as the least we can
see with the naked eye. And for some
purposes poor instrument is as good as
the best; an egg or a potato gives the

derive from the most skillfully- reconstructed
hydrometer, or the most accurate balance
and specific gravity bottle. Calico, with
his ple.lens2telescope, saw Whist, per-
haps, never man before saw, namely, the
moons of Jupiter; and by exhibiting the
partial illumination of Venus, with the
same imperfect instrument, he removed ore
of the strongest objections raised against
the heliocentric theory OF Copernicus. A
word to the wise is enough. Tony fellow

where possible, by seeing and handling
things for yourselves and, if you cannot

ment, do not therefore refuse the assist

ference in their ages, both being nearly 96.
Mrs. Bogart is in excellent health, and

permission from the District Commissioners

the cables has Just been completed, and
yesterday a number of electricians. eff ;ers Of
the Government, and others, were invited to
test the working cf the wires. The cables
are composed of leaden coat about one inch
in diameter, with six parts, inclosirg six COZ

ton, and is as Fl axible as ordinary wire. They
are laid in pine box, about eighteen inches
under the ground, snd are each about two

adsptability of underground wires for tele-
phones beyond doubt. Conversations were
carried on over the line with perfect ease,
ard those a. each end could hear the speakers
at the other end as easily as over the ordi-
nary wire-5e tier, IN fact, for there were no
extrsue9us conditions to interfere with the
circuit. After the single wire test had been

looped to form one continuous line forty-fve

A H0rseman's Barbarity.

Racing men throughout the country,
and particularly in this vicinity, will
be shocked to learn of the villainous
operation performed on that magnifi-
cent young stallion, Onondaga, who
carried the Dyer colors so well i'm his
two-year-old form. The horse, it will
be remembered, was bought by Milton
Young, last fall, and placed at the head
of his stud in Kentucky. Onondaga,
like all the Leamingtons, and particu-
larly the recent ones, had anything but
a good temper, and. since he has been
at the stud, he has become savage To
remedy this the horse was chloroformed

TWO FORTUNES.

I'll tell you two fortunes my fine little lad,
For you to accept or refuse;
The one Of them good, the other one bad:
Now hear them, and say which you choose.
see by my gifts within reach Of my hand,
fortune right fair to behold;
A house and a hundred good acres of land,
With harvest fields yellow as gold.
see great orchard with boughs hanging
down
With apples, russet and red;
see droves of cattle, some white and some
brown.
But all Of them sleek and well fed.
see droves of swallows about the barn door,
See the tanning mill whirling so fast;
see them threshing wheat on the floor;
And now the bright picture Is past.
And | see rising dismally up i'm the place
OF the beautiful house and the land,
man with fre-red nose on his face,
And little brown jug in his hand.
Oh! if you beheld him, my lad, you would
wish
That he were less wretched tn see:
For his boots they cape like the mouth of fish,
And his trousers are out at the knee.
In walking he staggers, now this way, now
that,
And his eyes they stand out nke bugs
And he wears an old coat and a battered-in hat,
And think that the fault Is the jugs.
For the text says the drunkard shall come to
be poor,
And that drowsiness clothes men with rags;
And he doesn't look like a man, am sure,
Who has honest hard cash in his bags.
Now which will you have? To be thrifty and
And be right side up with your dish,
Or go with your eyes like the eyes of bug,
And your shoes like the mouth of fish,
