DOES THE WORLD Miss ANY ONE.-An
exchange gives the following truthful and
beautiful answer to the above question
Not long. The best and most use
full of Us will soon be forgotten. Those
to-day who are filling large place III the
worlds regard will pass away from thc re-
membrance of man in few months, or, at
the tarthest in a-few years after the grave Is
covered over the remains. Wcarc shedding
tears above now made grave and wildly
crying on, i'll our grief that our loss is ire
parable: yet i'll short time the lcudril1 Of
love have entwincd around other supports,
and we no longer miss the one who is gone.
so passes the world But there are those to
whom a loss is beyond repair. There arc
men from whose memories no Woman'S
smile can chase recollection Of the sweet
face that has given up all jts beauty nj
deaths icy touch. There are women whose
plightc,i faith extends beyond ihc crave,
and drives away a. prolanc those who would
cnticc them from II worship Of their buried
love. Such loyalty. however is hidden
away from the public gaze. The world
sweeps on beside and around them. and
cares not to look upon undertaking grief. It
curves II line and rears II tomb over the
dead, and haStcns away Ia offer homage 20
the living.

Hon. VIM. s. Holman Of Indiana, the
Suns candidate for President, is at pres
ent in California.
Commissioner Baily left for San Fran
cisco yesterday, but will return in time to
be present at the next meeting OF the
Board.
A private letter received yere yesterday
states that @. H. Crowell, late Principal Of
the Eureka Public School, is quite i'll at
San Francisco.
Jake Cohn left yesterday for California,
taking with him little Fanny Steler, who
goes on q few weeks Wait to her aunt. Mrs.
Myer Cohn at Grass Valley.

Sullivan and Gleason.

As the time approaches for the glove
contest between Sullivan and Gleason the
public are beginning to show more interest
in the affair. So far it Is q little difficult
to tell which one is the fayorite, and some
private bets made yesterday were even up.
Tonight pools will be sold or the match
at the Bureau Hotel saloon. A brand new
get of gloves we're received from San Fran.
cisco by express en Thursday night, SINH
lar in construction TO those used by the
boxers elsewhere in "knock-out" contests.
They are fully within what ia termed 'the
limits Of the law" but not quite as large
as the mittens commonly used in gymnasi-
ums. Both men continue hard at work TO
get themselves In condition. Gleason has
also taken to the Rink for some exercise,
but his time there is mostly put In late In
the day. We find that he has had con-
siderable experience In the ring. When
10 years Of age he fought a glove contest
with Nick Grow OF Dan. Rice's circus at
Detroit, and worsted his opponent. Blk
years ago he fought o mar named Cooper
In Clinton County, Michigan. He also
won this after 10 rounds, during which
he was knocked down seven times. Glea.
son weighs l55 pounds in the buf, Ia So
years Of age and 5 feet II inches high. His
opponent ia not 30 tall, but weighs fully 20
pounds more. The match has every sp.
pearanoe OF being q bona fide affair. and In
these soothing times OF peace will prove
quite q stimulant in sporting circles.

A Hunting Trim.

We learn that q party is being made up
for . hunting and pleasure excursion to
the Western parto Of Wyoming, just beyond
the Utah line. So far, however, we believe
only Judge Rives and wife, G.. W. Baker
and wife, and two gentlemen from Phoebe
have fully determined upon going. Luther
Ulark, who was mentioned Is one Of the
party ind 1t impossible to get away for
30 long q time. Tom Haley is revolving
the trip over in his mind and may con-
elude to 60. The frat objective point will
DO Evanston, on the U. p. At that point
some friends will take charge Of the Wis
itors, and escort them into the Uintah
range Of mountains south, whore the
scenery is surprisingly grand and sublime.
and where game Of every description ought
to be plentiful. The party expect TO start
on their journey tomorrow.
