Last Friday Mr.. Chas. ID. Overshi.
ner, cousin of the proprietor of the
CALICO PRINT, arrived at Daggett
from Los Angeles. About four months
ago he came to California from his
home in Hopkinsville, Christian
county, Ky, where he was employed
five years in the South Kentuckian
Printing Office, and when he left re.
ceiyed first class recommendations
from his employers. He will fill the
position as foreman in this Office as
long as he remains here, and il is
hoped that the attractions Of Los An
geles or the pleasures OF his home in
Ky, will not allure him back until
he has found something of interest in
this dreary desert, or at least has
had his first unfavorable impression
ofthe present surroundings consider
ably modified. He will prove valu-
able addition to our small force, and
render assistance which we have very
much needed.-Calico Print. Calico

To the Lovers of Athletics and
AUuatics.

Austin certainly enjoys facilities
on the Colorado river for aquatic
sport that any other city would in
deed be justly proud of. The apathy
OF our citizens must of surety be
quite apparent in this matter when
only just now the question is mooted
as to the practicability of utilizing
these natural reSour ceS. Mr.. G. H
Hammersley, gentleman of eXpe-
rience and interchangeable exertion, is
again induced to inaugurate an event
for the benefit of our suffering COM
munity, panacea for all the
Affections flesh is heir to. He
proposes to raise by Joint
stock cooperation of $50 shares at
$25 per share, sum adequate to
build and equip floating boat house,
gymnasium and swimming school
combined, etc. The plan is quite
feasible and is rendered self-support-
ing by catering to the public taste at
a mere nominal rate of charge, be-
sides realizing the agreeable and
healthy stimulous accruing from
bodily eXertion in all its varied forms.
This school is certainly good one,
therefore we heartily recommend it's
eXpediency, and all who can ought
not to hesitate moment in favoring
so praiseWorthy an object, remember
ing its twO-fold influences for pleas
ure and profit. We therefore reiter-
ate in the strongest terms, not to neg
lect so glarlng an opportunity to adj
vance Il cause so beneficial to the
public welfare and assist Mr.. Ham
mersley in his lalIdable endeavor.

The Other Side.

A reporter for THE STATESMAN
interviewed Mr.. Muir, and the follow
ing is his statement in regard to the
affair last night. He said a robust
female African Amazon made an at
tack upon the person of Mrs. James
A. Muir, few days ago, while she
was lying in precariOuS con-
dition upon her sick bed. The
facts, he says, are as follows:
Jane Holmes had taken the
weeks washing from Mrs. Muir.
She returned the clothing in such a
condition that Mrs. Muir informed
her that she would not receive them,
until they were done up in proper
style. She left the clothes and also
the premises highly indignant. A
few evenings thereafter she and her
father went into the neighborhood of
Mr.. Muir's and watched the premises
until Mr.. Muir should leave. Mrs.
Muir being taken violently worse Mr..
Muir hastily left home for DIR. Nc
Laughlin. Seeing him leave Jane
Holm entered the house and
poured out her wrath upon the
sick, PROSTATE lady. She implored
the negress to be quiet on account of
piled, 81 am glad found you SO, it's
just the fix | wanted to catch you in"
and proceeded in her rage to make
the most inhuman assault upon Mrs.
Muir, jerking her violently and finally
striking her a powerful blow in the
side, which rendered her uncosciOus,
and then leaving the house hurriedly.
Mr.. Muir soon arrived, and found his
wife in commissions and unconscious.
DR.. Mclaughlin soon arrived, and
administered restoratives success
fully. 1t seems that William. Holder,
father of the assaulting party,
loitered near the premises to await
results. Mr.. Muir soon detected him
and, approaching him, naturally was
not choice in his language toward
him. Williams plea of ignorance of
the whole transaction and much beg
ging saved him from serious punish
ment at the hands of Mr.. Muir. The
next day the woman, Jane Holmes.
was arrested upon the charge of ag-
gravated assault upon Mrs. Muir.
Y esterday, through revenge, William
Holder had Mr.. Muir arrested for
abusive language toward him. Yes
terday evening Mr.. Muir called to see
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Charles Groce,
and found William Holder at the
front gate in conversation with
Mr.. Groce. Mr.. Muir alighted
from his buggy, whip in hand, and
with the butt end knocked William
down, and then jumped upon him and
punished him most severely. Mr..
Muir surrendered himself to the au-
thorities, and subsequently COM
plant was filed against him for as
sault upon Holder. Both cases were
postponed until next Monday. Pub
lie sentiment thoroughly sustained
Mr.. Muir in his action. No house
hold is free from liability to such out
RACES as above perpetrated, If the
above are the facts in the case.

Oliver Wendell Holmes attributes
his good health to an early morning

A Berlin paper says that Minister

she had eloped with young man.
P. T. Barnum recently spent $115,-
600 in trying to get two Burmese
white elephants. All he has to show
for the money are the ears, tusks and

priests who permitted the animals to
be removed.
There was neither boat nor bridge

When Miss Henrietta Hodshon, of
Danbury, Connecticut, started out
for a little walk the other morning,
she had no thought of running foot
race that would make her famous in
her neighborhood. But she had only
got half way over bridge when a
railroad train commenced chasing
her from the other end, coming at a
| lively pace on the down grade. Miss
Hodshon took reef in her skirts, en-
phasized her intentions by shrek,
and made dash for the opposite exit
of the bridge at pitch of speed that
fairly astonished the locomotive. She
made the objective point safely, and
then, all danger being passed, she
tainted dead away with true femi-
nine dexterity.

it cannot possibly be nourished in
such manner as to produce full
growth and good health. In the train
ing of youth it is especially necessary
to bear this in mind. To produce
good brain tissue there must be good
brain exercise. The work done
should not be sufficient to exhaust
the organ, or the faculty of re-
cuperation will be itself weak
ened and exhausted, and then
the function of repair will lag be-
hind the function of special activity,
with the result of deterioration instead
of progressive development. The
work done should not, as a matter of
fact, exceed such limits as regards
quantity or quality as shall suffice to
stimulate growth without exhausting.
An overburdened or overworked
brain cannot be healthy, nor can one
that is underworked. Fatigue-we
mean mental WEAKNESS not
be incurred by the young that is,
during the period of development.
The same rule applies to muscle cul-
tivation. Full exercise without eX-
hausting fatigue is the best, and, in
deed, the only stimulant of growth.

organism, the healthiest man, will
be one in which both brain and mus
Gle have been developed side by side
by a process of educationary training
in which time and strength have been
so utilized as to afford opportunity
for growth in every direction, in what
we call mind. e., brain function-as
well as in physical strength or muscle
function. After the organism has
passed through the stage of growth,
and its several parts have been finally
formulated, there may come a time
when muscular activity will so drain
the strength as to impoverish the
brain; but this state of matters is not
reached until long after the educa-
tionary period, and in well-trained
organism it will never be reached at
all.-The Lancet.

DEPARTMENT NOTES.
FRIDAY.

There was little of interest in any
of the departments yesterday. The
adjutant general returned from his
trip and reports much hardship on
account of the extreme drouth. He
stated that throughout the country
where he journeyed there had been
no rain for twelve months. and as a
result all traces Of water had disap-
peared. When he reached the noun
tains, however, they found plenty of
water. Here they were obliged to re-
main until the rainy season set in be-
fore he could return. This began
last week.
In the comptrollers office $1,000 was
received.
There was the usual rotine of bust
ness, but nothing of interest to the
general public in any of the other
branches.
AdviceS from Washington, d. c..
state that the matter laid before Gov.
Ireland, and of which we gave the
correspondence in full yesterday,
have reached the authorities there
1t is said the Department of Justice
has received further information from
Jefferson, Tex. relating to the assassi-
nation of Judge Haugh, the main
witness of the government in the i'm
pending case for violating the
election laws. The writer says
that threats have been made
by the defendants in these cases
to the effect that they will not
be prosecuted by the government,
that when they go into court they
will go armed, and if the trial should
result in conviction they will kill
the court and everybody connected
with it. The assassination of Judge
Haugh has given rise to considerable
uneasiness, and it is not known how
soon some others may go the same
way. The writer asks that his name
be not used in this matter, for should
it be known he would not live to see
the sunshine again.
1t is thought at the department here
that this matter is highly sensational.
The land board met and organized
yesterday. OF course there will be a
great deal of business before the
board in the way of bids Tor leasing
and purchasing the school and uni
versity lands, which will be acted
upon in proper time.

The Trotters in Kentnckr.

A correspondent of the Philadel-
phia press writes from Lexington,
KY: 1t is curious to see with what
care trotting horses are bred. The
mares are not only selected for their
good strains of blood, but for their
action, temper and perfect health.
The same care is bestowed upon the
stations. and they cross the blood to
correct defects that might be found
by experience to be in either dam or
sire.
If recall history Alright, the real
beginning of the trotting horse inter-
est in Kentucky was about 1854. VIXEN
Edwin Thorne, of Philadelphia,
brought down old Mambrino Chief
and gave him to James B. Clay, son
of Henry Clay, who succeeded to the
Ashland estate after the death of his
father. This old horse and his son
have left their impress upon the trot-
ting horse of the country more indel-
IDLY than any other, except RySdyk's
Hamiltonian and his sons. Pilot. Jr..
and his sons. have also shown well.
These three strains of blood are re-
garded as the best, and are the favor
ites-in fact, are almost the only ones
TO be found here. The Kentuckians
claim, with much show of truth, that
none of these horses, however,
showed themselves to be great sires
of trotters while they remained at
the North, and they have only been
improved by coming into this better
climate and crossing with the warm
blood of thoroughbred mares. They
also claim that the requisite speed
and endurance have been impaired to
the rather loggy trotter from the
North by introducing the fine and
warmer blood of the thoroughbred.
The favorite strain now is the top
cross of Hambletonians' Mambrino
or Pilot, Jr., on thoroughbred foun-
datioa. about two degrees removed
Tn SIMS of George Wilkes, who wa:
BY Essdyk's Hamiltonian, are most
solssa for, and colt carrying the
1iks blood is called eRiit-edged. :
