By the score it will be seen that our boys
snatched victory out of the jaws of defeat.
The game was not a brilliant one in any
particular and the small scores must be at
tributed to the inability of the batters to
strike the ball. The game was pleasant
one between the two mines, as all were very
gentlemanly, but the irrepressible, illbred
brigade of boys and young men, who make
it rule to howl only on one side were out
in full force, to the dscredit of our town.

REBUKING CURIOSITY.

The other day MISUNDERSTANDING
stranger appeared in Petaluma and re-
manned five whole days without the i'll
habitants finding out his name, where
he came from, or his business. Even
the bar-room loafers were bafiied in
their attempts to extract some definite
information, and the entire town laid
awake o'nights worrying over the mat
ter. AT last the general agitation grew
to such pitch that the sheriff volun-
tered to interview the stranger in be-
half of the public veal. Approaching
the taciturn visitor, as he sat in the
office of the hotel, the ftlnctionary re-
marked:
"F'ine day, sir"
SIS, eh!" said the stranger obviously.
"Going to stay long in these parts?"
"Just four days, two hours and
thirty-one minutes longer" replied the
other, consulting his watch and time
table.
'Then may I-er-ahem. may / ask
what your business is?' persisted the
sheriff, as the crowd gathered up closer.
"Well, | don't wish it generally
known" remarked the stranger, conf
dentially, "but I'm Russian Nihilist.' .
'You don't mean it," gasped the
official.
"Fact," replied the man, mournfully
"But-er-what brings you here?' ask
ed the sheriff.
"Well, you see, l was captured in St
Petersburg last month, and-you know
how severe that government is on Nj
hilists, don't you.
"Ah!-yes-of course; go on!''
"Well, they sentenced me to twenty

ed man drifted in to dinner.-San Fran

Which one of the defeated candidates
for the Presidency takes his defeat as
quietly as did Gen. Hancock? His wife
says that on the night of the election
he went to bed at I o'clock, Utterly worn
out. When she begged him not to re-
tire so early, as there would propably
be some ono who would want to see
him that night, he said emphatically:
81 cannot see anyone tonight; | am so
tired | must sc to bed at once" So he
retired and slept so soundly that when
his wife, who stayed up to hear the
news, went to bed she did not disturb
him, nor did he awake until O'Clock
next morning, when Mrs. Hancock,
having Il coughing spell, he reused e.

He knelt beside her pillow
In the dead watch of the night,
And he heard her gentle breathing,
And her face was still and white;
And on her poor, wan cheek tear
Told how the heart can weep.
And he said: "My love was weary
God bless her, she's asleep"

In the shuddering autumn night,
And he heard the grasses rustic,
And his face was thin and white;

ROYAL SCHOOL.

The public examinations of the
above school took place yesterday
morning. The pupils in the princi-
pals room had been at work through
the past week on written examina-
tions. In looking over these papers,
we found on the whole, very salts
factory results. Several of them, by
the older boys, were remarkably
well done. On the walls of the
room, hung number of maps very
creditably drawn, one in particular,
map of South America, which car
ried off the prize. Punctually at
nine O'Clock the oral examinations
commenced throughout the school.
Mr.. Scott examined the pupils in the
principals room in arithmetic, but
the result was not quite satisfactory,
probably owing to their not fully
understanding the questions asked.
Reading came next in order and was
highly creditable to teacher and
pupils. 1t had been our intention
to visit every room, but owing to the
very large attendance of visitors, who
crowded the verandahs, doorways
and windows, we were reluctantly
compelled to give up such an idea for
the noise was too great. We did get
