This artistic little production deserves
something more than a mere passing mo-
tice from us staid Jacksonians. We need
waste verS little space in telling you what
YOU already know, that the execution was
admirable; that the children surpassed
the expectations Of their friends; that they
showed n training in the details as well az
in the substantials that made it treat TO
the most cultivated and critical and that
Miss Morancy deserves unbounded credit
for her tact, her skill, her energy, and her
patience in bringing out the nicities of this
little opera in such perfection. But we
want to appeal 10 the public spirited peo-
pie Of Jackson to make this but the begin
ming and not the end Of much more of the
same sort. We spend monsy freely for
iails and police, but no one thing tends
more TO make these useless than devel-
opment of a taste for music amongst all
class,s Of our people. We preach prohl-
btion ar'@ pay for it, yet nothing wall
sooner tend TO make our young men proof
against the coarse allurements Of the grog-
shop than by thus refining their tastes,
and offering them better retreats and home
enloyments for their leisure hours. We
must arouse ourselves and get out of our
Ehls OF lhOukllls W q must tOilt ~ dIlAN-
ciate that there are other agencies through
which communities are developed and
benefited than governmental machinery
and political demagogucs.
Miss Morancy has had the courage and
capacity to set the ball in motion in 8
new direction. She has, by this single ef
tort, filled this little band Of children will
new and better aspirations. She ha,
planted germ which, if the older peopl,
will but support with their sympathies
and il need be, with their pocket-books
will prove a leaven in the social mass o
our city that will work great good. lie
Us help to push on the good work. Let u
/ show our appreciation by rallying to tn
standard OF this young lady, one Of on
own girls, and encourage her to other ei
forts in her new field. Let us resolve t
produce, at an early day, one Of the light
er oratorios. Don't say that we can't, 70
we can try, and the very effort will d
good. And il we do succeed, the commu
nifty can rest assured that it will do a
much good morally as a long-winded sci
mon, and as much good socially, as a torcl
light procession and that means mucl
as the writer is an enthusiastic advocat
Of both. CITIZEN.

Hung by a Hair.
Phil. Ledger


In San Jose, California, by dreadful
exercise of ingenuity, the gallows trap
for murder was made to fall by severing
a single hair-and that cut from the vic
TINS head. The criminal was a Pole who
had killed his wife. The Sheriff was so
precise about the adjustment Tor the execu-
ton that lie remarked that a hair alone
would be sufficient to maintain the balance
of the machinery. He was taken at his
word, says the Alta California, BY Judge
Belden who had tried the case, and who
possibly wished to make the incident
warning and suggestion as to the means
Of retributive justice. A lock Of hair was
produced from the murdered womans head.
'By counter weights the force required to
shoot the supporting bolt WIS reduced to a
minimum, and TO provide against any slip
a silk cord was attached and wound three
times around small wooden cylinder,
creating Just insufficient friction not to
prevent it unwinding of itself if released,
at the same time just sufficient TO cause a
mere thread to hold it in place. One Of
the hairs from the head of Wasielewski';
victim was that thread"

OBITUARY.

Died, October 20, 1851, HARRISON Alfonso,
youngest son of Mr.. II. 4. Johnson. ALTON so was
in his sixth year; ho was an unusually bright and
intelligent child, who babe fair 10 make a good
and useful man. But God in his infinite wisdom
saw that our dear little friend was more fitted for
heaven than earth. His ahectionnte disposition,
and winning manners endcared him to all who
knew him, and ade HIM the idol of his father, who
has the deepest sympathy Of his many friends.
Oh, ALFONSO we shah miss thee darling! Little
did l think when last l saw thee, that l should
never see thy sweet face or hear thy voice again.
Bucthe Lord giveth, and he taketh away-We must
not question his works. Though the absence OF
our dear little friend will bring sigh to our hearts
and tears 20 our eyes, we must try 10 find consoa-
ton in tue thought that " lis only Tor little
while" In few years we may all hope 10 meet
our dear ones in a better world. May she thought
that his Baby" has been restored to the arms Of
loving mother, whose tender, loving care, he would
never ceased 10 have missed, had he remained here
soothc the aching heart Of the bereayed parent
Let him find consolation in the words OF oui
Savior, who said "Sutier little children 10 CONT
unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven
The gentle Savior calls
Our children 10 his breast.
He folds them I'm his gracious arms,
Himself declares them blest.
"Let them approach" he cries,
"Nor sc0rn their humble claim,
The heirs Of heaven are such as these,
For such as these came"

The School Commission

OF the $4,000 in school certificates
filed with the Commissioner $780, 900 haYe
been allowed and $1,000 disallowed leay-
ing 1900 yet to be investigated. Capt.
Montgomery thinks a large part of the
uninvestigated warrants will be dissalow-
ed. Capt Wolfe thinks about one-half of
those already marked dissallowed will be
allowed by the Chancellor.
The Commission will probably cost
the county about $1,000, if Capt Mont
gomery's salary is endorsed by the Chan
cellor.
The only good result from the inves-
tigation is a knowledge Of the fact that
Capt Wolfe has done nothing wrong.

MILLINERY!

We have had 80 much to do this sea
son in MILLINERY, that we thought
it useless 70 talk about it. Yet, it seems
unjust to carry the stock we do, and
not let people know it, and obiige them
to send away for articles they could get
right here without all that trouble, wOr-
~ and expense. For instance:
The Fancy Bonnet Crowns, that are
now all the rage North.
The Novelties in Birds and Orna-
ments.
Children's Crochet Sacks.
Children's Crochet Caps
Childen's Knitted silk Caps.
Boys Polo Caps at 25c.
Boys Polo Caps at soc.
Boys Polo Caps, Velvet, 75c.
You may say everything in the way
Of frst-class Millinery.
We may tell you, too, that our buyer
sends US every late style just as soon as
it comes out in New York-which is
about a. late as anywhere-and that
you can depend on his buying for low
prices.
We have yet to see City Hat or
Bonnet that we would not agree to du-
plicate at 3. per cent. discount, and
guarantee better work.
We now have all the work we can do
with our present force of three; but it
would be possible to increase it, and we
would like very much to do it.

A Terrible Tragedy.

At Redwood, California, q terrible
tragedy was enacted in the justices
office. The preliminary examination OF
Harry Casey, charged with assaultng
Mss Julia Francis Sweeney, at the Bel
mont pienir & ounds, last Sunday was
in progress. The girl was placed upon
the stand, but her testimony did not go
tc prove any violent assault. She
stated that she took walk with Casey,
knowing him to be stranger, and all
that occurred was with her consent.
At the conclusion OF her testimony the
prosecution rested their case. Joseph
Einnigan, clerk for I'll. $. Crocker &
Co., of San Francisco, was the first
witness for the defense. He swore
positively that he was in company with
Casey during the entire afternoon, and
that he did not see him with the girl at
all. As he finished his statement,
Sweeney, who was sitting directly be-
hind Casey and his attorney, J. N. +.
Wilson, jumped to his feet, pulled
bulldog self-cocking pistol from his
pocket, and fred three shots into the
back of Casey, standing not more than
two feet from him. Casey sprang to
his feet, but fell immediately. The
scene In the courtroom was beyond
description. A perfect frenzy seized
everybody. The sisters of Casey were
in an adjoining room. and they burst
into the courtroom crazed with grief.
The dying declaration of Casey was
taken in shorthand, which was substan-
TALLY to the effect that he did not COM
init the act. A priest was sent for and
was soon at the dying mans side.
Sweeny was placed under arrest and
hurried from che scene. He feels that
he has righted a wrong done to his
daughter, but public sentiment is very
strongly against him. He is a contract
or in San Francisco. Casey is a litho.
grapher in the employ of Crocker &
Co. San Francisco, and is well con-
nected.
