Fourth Of July Hop.

In pursuance of invitations, quite
a large party Of ladies and gentle
men assembled ut the Court House
on the evening Of the Fourth, and
whiled away the evening in tripping
the light, fantastic toe. The night
was beautiful; the Court room, large
and roomy, was cool and airy; the
ladies neatly and tastefully attired
in Ballroom costumes, were charm
ingly sweet and lovely, and the
beaux unusually pleasing and agree
able. Observation-Disclosures and
Lemonade, were served up in the
Grand Jury room, by Mr.. 10. Price
and with a good string band, the
evening was rendered one Of the
most pleasant and delightful it has
been our pleasure to attend in many
a year. The approach Of the wee
sma' hours warned us Of the NOR.
rows type setting, IA task that can't
well be done by sleepy heads, and
the merry makers were left to con
tinue the dance, while we sought our
little bed. As the years go by, we
find that one can't stand as much of
that sort of night racket as he could
when he was younger.

Fish Fry.

Feeling very patriotic, and as no
provision had been made to celebrate
the ga-lorious Fourth, we took holi-
day and went fishing. Borrowing a
horse, bride and saddle from our
accommodating friend, Mr.. John A..
Lovewell, we "struck out" for Wal
Ter bayou. Here we found party
who had preceded us, already busy
fishing, but with only moderate luck.
Discovering q dug-out hid away in
the bushes, we took possession and
with troll and line soon succeeded
in capturing two speckled beauties,
and two fine black bass, the quar-
tette weighing some seven or eight
pounds. These we presented TO the
ladies Of the party, who in turn very
kindly invited us to stay and take
dinner; Vou see, that's just what we
were fishing for.) When all assem-
bled, we found there were, Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Boyce, Mr.. and Mrs. L..
Miller, Mr.. and Mrs. Rhodes, Mrs.
Bice, Mr.. Russell, Mr.. VIM. Vaughn,
Mr.. 7. G. Edrington, Mr.. SHELTON
Driver and about half a dozen or SO
boys and girls, with Lewis Butler
bringing up the rear, who all brought
in their quote of fish, which when
fried and served up la camp style,
with cold ham, eggs, pickles, bread,
hot coffee, cakes, pies, ice-water and
lemonade, we just feft glad for once
that we had been struck with so
much patriotism. After dinner, fish
ing was resumed, and though we had
been most successful in the morning
in taking the largest fish, we got glo-
riously left in the evening, Mr..
Rhodes had secured four fine bass
and Mr.. Vaughn one whopper,
weighing full four pounds, when
shower Of rain sent the entire party
scurrying home.

They Were Not Burglars.

Monday night, after tho Times
representative had retired, some.
where about the midnight hour, he
was somewhat startled by the sud
den appearance Of two human forms
hugely outlined in front of his bed
room window. Visions of robbery,
murder and incendiarism flashed
through his mind, like black-and-
tan in rat chase. He thought Of
the lecture delivered a few days since
by Mr.. Merriwether, who in a spirit
of envy took occasion to apprize the
people in attendance of the fact that
the Times Office was elegantly fitted
up with mahogony and rosewood
furniture, silver inkstands, paper
weights of precious stones, and in
Vulnerable rare and costly articles of
vertu and decoration, and thinking
perhaps, that this statement had OBJ
tanned credencc, and excited the Gu
pidity of some less fortunate travel
er down the path of life, he was now
about to pay the penalty for accu-
mulating so much, and undergo all
the horrors of being gagged, robbed
and then cremated to hide all traces
of the robbery. Bouncing out of
his warm and cozy bed, (thc thermo-
meter indicated about l00), and APP
preaching the window to rcconnoitrc
and ascertain the cause of so ghostly
and unceremonious visit, he inquir-
ed, in a voice almost checking with
emotion, TO what unpropitious cir
cumstancc he was indebted for vis-
il at such untimely and unfashiona.

crest-fallen, he put away his shot
gun. Under the trumming sound
made in "tuning-up" instruments

gained his wonted composure, and
then after listening TO the sweet and
fairy-like melodies, which stole gent

Even to day we hear men of intelli-
gence talking about the lignites of
Wyoming. Where are these li~gnitesy
Experts really find that lignites are
scarce. What did Hayden and Les
quereux mean when they asserted that
these hne Goals Of the great west were
lignites. Governor Gilpln (and he is
too keen and far-sighted an observer
during the chief portion of the last half
Century to be sneeIed It, says that
Hayden was one OF those saltwater
despots who make everything subservi-
ent to Atlantic despotlsm and New
England ~puritanism, and threw a wet
sheet over the grand bitumInous Goals
of Wyoming In order Il pander to the
iron and coal Interests of Pennsylvania.
Our Goals (.'liguites, as Hayden says, J

bitnminous Goals Of Pennsylvania.

their heating and steam making power,

make irst-class Goals.

throw OFF the effete drY-as-dustism

Considerable attention was attracted
yesterday to a Ane English tslly-ho
coach, recently imported to this coun-
try by Honorable Harry Oelrichs. 1t
is heavy, strong and elegantly built,
and with a due regard for the comfort
and pleasure Of occupants. There are
seats for nearly a doze en- on top, while q
half dozen more can be ~ensconced be-
low. Mr.. Oelrichs was driving with
tour-in-hand and stopping in front Of
Colonel Murrin's, the "machiner was
soon surrounded by a crowd Of curios-
ity seekers. The harness is also OF
English make and Is we'll and very
Handsomely made. This vehicle was
got here at al expense Of not less than
50, 500 and is the finest and most unique
of the kind west Of the Missouri. Mr..
Oelrichs will use it principally between
the city and his ranch, but doubtless II
will be used, as it has been used In
England, for extensive trips into the
Interior. A c%ountryman snggestively
remarked that 1t would be a good
thing to make regular trips between
Masten's and Murrin's via Sixteenth
street.

neat cattle at rest by quoting from
Shakespeare:
'The steer. the heller and the calf.
Are all called neat"

Shakespeare:
1.-THE steer, the heller and the calf,
Are all called neat"
A very curious question has arisen
growing out of the arrest of the two
alleged sharpers and swindlers
Henry Knowlton and John Gray,
who it will be remembered were ar.
rested not long since for a fraud prac-
tired upon q passenger or an eastern
bound express train, by which they OBJ.
tanned quite a sum Of money for u bo-
gus check. They were held to bail by
Judge Fisher in the sum Of $1,000
The amount was put up for their b ii
and eventually paid over to the clerk
OF the court. An Indictment was
found against them, but they didn't
respond and bench warrants were is
sued for them. They could not be
found. A default was entered against
them and the court ordered the money
paid over to the county treasurer. But 1t
now t%ranspires that no law can be
found to authorize this, and Judge
Sener seems to think that unless some
statute can be found controlling the
matter the order will have to be- modi-
fed and the money paid over to the ter
ritorial treasurer, as all bonds of this
kind run in the name of and to the ter
ritory. +
IL is a very interesting question, and
n which we hope will be settled in
favor of the county.
