room 800 feet long by 100 feet wide and
lighted by $500 burners. The supper
was very costly, the baking bills alone
footing up $4,000. Among the eata-
bles were 10000 fried oysters, 5000
sealloped oysters, 5000 picked oysters,
ZOO pounds of butter, 300 gallons of
ice cream, 300 gallons of coffee, 200 gall
Ions of tea and 800 gallons of claret
punch. There we're used thirty barrels
of salad, twenty-five barrels of Malaga
grapes, 2 400 quails, 5000 sandwiches
and 5000 rolls. AT Buchanan's inaugu-
ration, which was held within stones
throw of the new Pension Office, wine
flowed like water and the guests ate 500
gallons of oysters and 500 chickens.
At Lincoln 5 second Inauguration ll9
armed policemen were sworn in. At
the coming one il is intended to have
500. At Grants second inauguration
windows on Pennsylvania avenue to
view the procession cost from s25 to 500;
the price asked for those offered for use
at this range from 500 to $50, aud one
man has a single room facing the ave-
nue for which he expects to get 5000
from sightseers.
All of the Presidents down to Monroe
were inangurated under cover. Monroe
was the first President who read his
speech in the open air. Madison was the
first President inaugurated In clothes of
American making, and Jefferson was
the first President inaugurated at WASH
ington. John Quincy Adams read his
Inauguration oath. Lincoln read his
speech from printed manuscript, and
Harrison, the oldest man ever inaugu-
rated President, delivered his address
standing OH the east front Of the Capi-
tol portico when the thermometer WAS
near zero and the wind was blowing a
gale. One thousand people, 1t is said,
listened to the inaugural of Washington,
10000 to those Of Van Bnren and Pierce,
&C, 900 to that of Lincoln, and zoe, 900 to
that of Garfield.
Grant was the youngest man ever
elected President. He was AZ years old

Softly the noon sheds her silvery light
On the old gray church tonight.
Sweetly the bell of her ivied tower
Chimes at the hush Of the midnight hour.

When heard that bell at my mothers knee
A happy child, blithe, glad and free,
Free as the breath of the mountain air
Ere time had left its blight Of care.

But no, tits only the silver bell.

And still gladder rang on thy wedding morn.

TRUTH AND Fiction. The editor Of
the Times Review, in another column.
tells how when he told a true story
about the Pollard marriage no ono
believed him, but when hesconcocted
an immense lie about the luminous
shrub, everybody took it as the Cos,
pei truth. The Appeal has had pre-
cisely the same experience. On two
occasions it originated stories SO inn.
probable that it did not suppose for
moment that any one would believe
them. Yet the Frank LesIie's illus
trated paper gave them full page illus,
trations. Later on the editorpsentto
the same paper an account of the
discovery of the prehistoric tracks,
but the managers of the illustrated
paper returned the manuscript saving
that their columns were not open to
such uIheard of exagerations.
When one comes to consider the
cold reception given to truth, and the
warm welcome lie receives in the.
United States, is it to be wondered at
that John Dennis, Rufus Shoemaker
and the editor of the Appeal have
settled down to steady Justification,
with view of maintaining the cir
culation of their respective newspa-
per.-[Carson Appeal.
Notwithstanding our disoouraging
experience, we will not resort to fc-
ton to keep up the circulation of the

will not, receive our reward in this

route we have chosen will lead to a

A measure for the relief of those
citizens of Idaho, Oregon, and Wash
ington, who fought in the Nez Perce
and Bannock Indian wars, will be
brought to the attention of congress
this winter. The measure provides
for the payment of the volunteers
for their services and for horses and
arms lost; also to give all volunteers
who were wounded or disabled, or to
the heirs of all those killed, the bene-
fit of the pension laws in the same
manner as if they had been mustered
into the United States service. It is
proposed that these volunteers be
paid one dollar day for actual SER
vice, the same as that received by
the Montana men, Statesman.

District Attorney Bonnifeld and
Sheriff Fellows were notified yester-
day that the judgment of the District
Court here in the case of Clarence
Gray, has been affirmed by the Su-
preme Court. Gray was convicted
last March of the murder of r. II.
Scott at Paradise ON the night of the
Oath of December last, and sentenced
to be executed on the 22nd of May.
His counsel appealed from the rulings
of the Court here to the Supreme
Court, and the higher Court ordered
proceedings to be stayed until the
case was heard on appeal and de-
cided. There is now no hope for
Gray to escape the gallows, except
by death, or through the Intervention
of the Board of Pardons. A day
will now be fixed for executing the
Judgment of the Court, and the
murderer will doubtless suffer the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law.-lSilver

Biologists are as yet undecided as
so whether mineral veins are filed
from above by deposits, or from be-
low by volcanic action forcing the
metallic substances up to available
crevices. The fact that sea water
contains all the metals In small guam
titles, makes the theory that most
metallic veins have originated in
some way from the separation of the
metals and water is the most popular.
A late theory has been put forward,
which combines the plausible features
of the other two.
