marck'S Communication.
SAN Francisco, March ia Chroni-
Gle Washington special says: There is a
the reply of Frelinghuysen to the COM
munication of Bismarck. The verdict is
that the awkwardness has been all trans
ferred to Bismarck, and the laugh turned
on him. Shrewdly the German Minister
asked leave to return the engrossed reso-
luton with a big seal, but Frelinghuysen's
reply was that the President cannot be
supposed to have any wish in respect to
what the German Government may do in
regard to the disposition of the copy of
the resolution. This expressed in diplo-
matte phrase the sentiment of contempt
which is felt in this country over the en-
tire performance. Even the opponents of
the Administration are unqualified in their
praise of the Secretary's reply.
Nothing startling I'm the Divorce
Case.
SAN Francisco, March IS. In the
Sharon divorce case this morning nothing
OF a startling nature occurred. The deposit

He stated that he heard Sharon introduce

went to heaven this morning at half-past Z
O'Clock, after three weeks sickness from

The boy was born in Sacramento, May

Great Excitement Over Patti.
SAN Francisco, March lathe sale OF
scalpers' tickets for the Patti opera this
evening suddenly collapsed to-day, on the
announcement that many of them were
counterfeits. Much confusion exists. One
scalper was arrested for selling tickets
without a license. Mapleson says he will
put PATHS Tuesday tickets up at auction.
1t is rumored that he has discharged
Nathal, but refuses to state positively if it
is true. The excitement over Patti is the
greatest ever witnessed in this city.

SUAKM, March 13.-The rebels opened
fire on Gen. Graham's forces at l O'Clock
this morning. The British forces at once
formed to repel the charge, but no attack
came. The men were thereupon ordered
to Liedow. Again the fire OF the rebels
continued all night, but the British did
not reply. One officer and two men were
wounded, and one man killed. The fight
ing began at daybreak. The infantry and
artillery completely routed the enemy
from their pits and trenches. The battle
did not last more than half al hour, when
a victory for the British was made. certain.
LONDON, March IA dispatch from
Gen. Graham, dated at Osman Digma's
camp, March IS, liza A. M, says the camp
Of the enemy had been taken after hard
fighting since 8 O'Clock this morning.
Over seventy British were killed
and 100 wounded. A later dispatch says
the bivouac last night vas exceedingly
unpleasant. The Arabs kept up q per-
sistent fusilsde till just before daybreak.
The bright moonlight rendered objects
distinctly visible at long distances, but
prevented the enemy from attempting q
sudden onset. The rebels directed their
Gre especially toward the hospital wagons,
which were conspicuous in the moonlight.
The surgeons and General Graham's
staff officers had many narrow escapes.
At sunrise q Gardiner gun and a nine
FOUNDER were turned against the rebels,
who we're within 300 yards of the British
position, and afforded a most excellent
target. The Arabs were soon compelled
to retire TO their maip position, near
Tamai Wells. Col. Stewards cavalry ar
rived at half-past 6, and took position on
the British plant, so as to turn the enc
my's right.

ParsOn James In the Lecture Field.
Parson james, recently Of Eureka but
now having Tuscarora for headquarters.
has been lecturing in Sacramento, Reno
and Virginia City on what we see adver-
tised as "Mneumonics" and "Muemonics."
II is pleasant to note the success of the
parson of whose lectures the papers have
much to say. The Reno Gazette OF a re-
cent date contains this paragraph, the last
sentence Of which reads like the tail-end
CT q fish story:
By special request the Rev. George w.
James will recite Southey's celebrated
Cataract Of Lodore" at the lecture on
'Mneumonics" "Mnemonics" this even
ing in the Methodist Church. This is said
TO be the most difficult poem in the En-
glish language to memorize, but Mr..
Ja@nes will recite it forward and backward,
give any line asked for or give the num-
Der of any line that is read. Copies of the
poem will be distributed throughout the
audience so that all may thoroughly test
the lecturers memory power. Mr.. James
assures us that he has not given more
than an hour and half to the mastery Of
this poem.

whether II Fee system or the
Salary Act IN Preferable?
The Silver State has not said anything
about the Salary Act lately, but the Grand
Jury. recently in session here, did, and ex-
pressed the opinion that it operated in
favor Of the county financially. How the
Grand Jury arrived at that conclusion is
not known to the public. as the jury did
not give the facts on which the opinion
was founded, as a Grand Jury should do.
II the jury found, by an actual and
thorough investigation, that the Salary
Act is q benefit to this county, it is greatly
TO be regretted that they did not embody
the figures in their report, or in some
other way give the information upon
which the statement was based.-Silyer
State.
We opine that il would be a difficult
matter for that or any other Grand Jury
to show wherein the Salary Law has proven
beneficial to any county in the State.
They doubtless jumped at the conclusion
from the statements Of the county officers,
who are the only ones benefited by the law
now in force, but which will die with the
expiration OF the present year. Under the
fee system, with the rates established by
the last Legislature, the people of Hum
boldt will find that their public business
will be better attended to, and at consider
ably less cost than under the present law.
Times Review.
The facts brought out by a comparison
Of the old high-pressure fee system, com-
pared with the workings Of the Salary
Law, have never been clearly or fully pre-
sented; and it is doubtful if the two
methods of county government can be ac-
curately or satisfactorily compared. There
is such q wide difference, however, in the
expense Of operating under the Salary Law
and under the fee system as regulated for
the future fees will be cut down all along
the line an average OF about one-third Of
the old schedule, from Jan. /, 1885,, that,
without comparing the two, the latter is
seen at a glance to be the cheapest and
best. After the date given, the Assessors
Office will be the only salaried one of the
county Offices.

A DISTRaCTED PARENT.
Five daughters-four of them engaged

For such a surfeiting Of love

Five daughters-four OF them engaged
I think shall go mad
For such surfeiting Of love
No parent ever had.
The very atmosphere is charged
With 1t no matter where
l 60 about the house, trip
Upon some whispering pair.
At evening when l take my pipe
And seek quiet nook
To sit and read my paper, or
Some new and tempting book,
l ope, perhaps, the parlor door,
When familiar sound,
Quite unmistakable, suggests
1t is forbidden ground.
So then more cautiously turn
10 our reception room;
But 10 again upon my ear
From its romantic gloom
Comes softly, yet with emphasis,
That warning when | start
And leave as Lady Macbeth wished
Her guests would all depart.
My next resort is then the porch,
Where roses trail and bloom
Ha il it echo that betrays
The Joys OF yonder room?
All, no a startled 'change of base
Reveals the presence there
OF Cuplds votaries, and, alas
There's still another pair.
"But sure," think my library
Viii be safe retreat"
So there at once with quickened step
take my wearied feet.
Vain hope-that warning sound again
Breaks on my listening ear;
Thank Heaven my youngest hath not ye
Attained her thirteenth year.
Hark there she is and bless my heart,
That popinjay, young Lunn,
Is at her side-I do believe,
That she, too has begun.
Oh, ye. who love to sit aud dream
OF future married joys,
Pray Heaven with honest fervor that
Your girls may all be boys.
