The conservatives in County Down, Ire,
mrde strong fight against the Parnell candi-
date for parliament at the recent election. The
hitterest foes Of the Home Rulers, the old To-
ry followers in Ireland itself, have shown them
selves full of power and vigor yet. The ulti-
mate result must be the failure of the Churchill.
Parnell union. The Irishmen's only natural
place Is with the radicals.

Press ySofes


There has been very commend Nle efforts
and successes of the press throughout the
State and elsewhere, the present season, to
issue worthy holiday numbers of their
Journals. These are duly appreciated by
the reading public, and evidence the sterl-
ing enterprise of their publishers.
Among those received the San Francisco
Spiv1 Of the Times sends forth 32-column
paper replete in all the usual departments
of their well known journal, and with
many attractive additions. 1t gives brief
history of Wells-Fargo Express Company,
a cut of its building in San Francisco, to-
gether with portraits of twenty-seven of its
leading officers and attaches throughout the
country, including Felix Tracy, of this city.
Also list of the principal offices and
names of agents. Other subjects are SINH
larly treated and illustrated.
The San Francisco Post gave a superb
holiday number to its readers. 1t was
largely of literary character, but also
| spoke literally in favor of the metropolis,
its needs and advantages. The edition
itself, in quality and enterprise, spoke well
| for its proprietors.
The Stockton NaH and Reno New Stat
Journal favored their patrons with hand
|
ing year, with local statistics, illustrations
| etc.
The Nord California Herold published in
Sacramento), a journal devoted to the inter
ests of northern California, and printed in
! German, issued an illustrated holiday mum
! Der OF fourteen pages on the Goth which
| displayed enterprise and taste on the part
of its publisher.
OnChristmas the Red Bluff Daily Sentiue
| published an eight-page edition, which was
composed of variety of interesting and
valuable matter. 1t included a sketch OF
Tehama county and its resources, appro-
| pirate Christmas matter, long article from
| Colonel Henry Starr, of this city, etc. DR.
Dodson deserves credit for his enterprise.
The st. Helena Star beamed forth or
| Christmas as bright and attractive as a new
dollar fresh from the mint. Its pages not
only looked well. but they were full of in.
teresting and useful articles, evincing abil.

Took the Hint and Left.

The Chico Chronicle says Residents of
Chico will readily recall the tragedy in our
CITY. some two years ago, which caused the
death OF a well known and highly respect
ed young man named Riley Strahl. II
Will also be remembered that a woman.
like nearly every other affair, was mixed
up in this sensation. Riley. Strahl died
horrible death from the effects of poison
given IN glass of wine. The woman re-
ferred to was named Mollie White. a per
son of tainted character. 1t was alleged that
she had poisoned young Strahl because her
love Tor HIM was not reciprocated The
affair was very mysterious, and led to the
arrest OF the fair, but sly and wicked.Mollie.
Public opinion generally believed that she
had administered the deadly potion. but
after brief period behind the bars the day
of her trial arrived. She appeared in Court
dressed in deep black, looking meek. but
pretty. She cried and carried ON in fine
dramatic style, melting the hearts of all
III the Courtroom. Under such circum-
stances, who could convict a woman?
She was acquitted. After her release
she returned to her old haunts in Chico
for a short time, and then sought newer
fields. The most intimate friends and as
Soclates of Strahl were very bitter against
the young woman, and they often vowed
to avenge his death in some way; but they
were gallant enough not to attack mem
Der of the weaker sex. They were greatly
pleased when Mollie left Chico, but their
old hatred returned with increased bitter
ness some four or five weeks ago when she
came back to this place. Some of her
TRENDS told her she had better leave at
once in order to save trouble, but she only
laughed at the good advice. Her daily ap-
pearance upon our streets aroused the
avengers, and they held many councils of
war to decide what should be done. They
agreed that this was free country, but that
this town was not big enough for Mollie
that 1t was too good for her, and that she
must go forever Arrangements We're then
made to give the girl coat of tar and
feathers unless she departed at once. A
committee waited upon her, but this time
she did not laugh. She had flown away.
and the town was saved another disgrace
ful episode.

APPEARANCES SOMETIMES DEcEPrIyE.-
The oroyille Mercury is responsible for the
following:
A good story is told by married lady in
town concerning one of our gallant young
men. The said madam borrowed dress
from young lady to wear to the masoue-
rade on Christmas night-which we will
state parenthetically for the benefit of the
young men, is very common. The Young
gallant in question recognized the dress
and naturally supposing that his darling
girl was In it, engaged her for the next
waltz. When he put his arms about her
yielding waist, the dress and size were 50
familiar that he imagined the touch was
equally familiar. So, drawing her sill
closer to his palpitating bosom. he softly
whispered in her ear, Ny dazzling girl /
am glad | discovered you this early in the
evening. We will dance every round dance
together, aud many other endearing words
escaped his lips during the may whirl.
This is a bona tide fact, and the lady said it
was too good to keep.
