TALK about Exposition extor-
ton prices ! Why, New Orleans is
''s'nall potatoes and few in a hill''
compared with the inauguration
charges at Washington. A glance
at the advertising columns of the
daily newspapers indicates that al
most everybody who has room or
window on the line of march from
the Capitol to the White House is
willing to rent it. Out of a score
OF advertisements the lowest price
for single windows is $40, or two
for SIS. The highest prices asked
are $50 per window. The average
is from $50 to $50. One person
near Ninth street and the avenue
offers to rent forty seats at SIS each.
The most ex0rbitant rentals are at
the intersection of Fifteenth street
and the avenue. Thirty dollars is
the very lowest asked for a fourth
story window, the prices increasing
from that to $50, according to loca-
ton New Orleans City Item.

| DEAR StR-In answer to Judge
Daigre's challenge to run his dog
against any dog in the Parish
match to be run in the piuewoods
i Will say that as my dogs have
no resin on their heels, will have
TO decline to hunt them in the pine
woods. | think the Judge had in
trenched himself behind the thought
thot he had the only tar-heel dog
IN the Parish when he made that
proviso. But if the Judge really
wants to hunt hig dog, let him
meet me on Bayou Rapides on half
way ground, tine to be named by
him, and | will run either of nv
dogs against his for anything he
may want to run for, or for glory !;
and at the same time | challenge
my friend Judge Daigre to cross
guns with me in friendly match
over the dogs. And in connection
with DR.. John A. Dunn we chal-
lenge any two members of the
Alexandria Rod and Gun Club to
meet us in a friendly match in the
field over dogs, time to he named

SINCE the election of William
NJ. Evarts to the Senate, the old
story of his foot race with Senator
David Davis has been revived,
What they say is that when Evarts
and Davis were both enjoying one
of those seasons of relaxation in
which great men occasionally in
dulge, they engaged in bantering
each other on their respective
shapes. Davis knowing of a very
narrow alley, offered to bet Evarts
a basket Of champagne, that given
five yards the start and allowed to
choose the place, he could beat
him in foot race of one hundred
yards. The offer being accepted,
Davis chose a moonlight night and
the narrow alley, which his five
hundred pounds filled so that
Evarts could not pass, winning the
race at dog trot by the diamete,
of his stomach.-[ Exchange.

IL never imagined that Shaw had
pluck enough to kill HIMSELF" said
Wey. "He was not bad sort of q
man. He strictly attended to busi-
ness while I was in partnership with
him. The trouble was that he could
not resist the temptation of the gam
ing table. I soon saw that I could
make no money in his company, so
[ dissolved the partnership. Then
for some weeks he ran the concern on
his own responsibility, steadily sink
ing deeper in debt, until he had to
close up. He owed the grocer. the
butcher, the baker and others when
he skipped the town."
"HOw about the woman in the
case?"

in the camp-a beautiful brunette.
Many a one envied Shaw his good
fortune in possessing her. She was
modest and vlrtuous. She always

Shaw, but had my doubts on that

The Miner.

Hon. M. ]. Farrell, of Austin has
been contributing q series of interest
ing papers to the Enterprise upon the
silver question, and at their conciu-
sion offers the following panegyric to
the miner: He is q pioneer of the
world. He braves all risks and dam
gers and opens up the wilderness for
the more timid. He occupies the
waste places of the earth, which but
for him would never benefit man
kind. He endures hardships, dan
gers and privations, and after wear
ing out his life for the benefit of
mankind generally, dies poor. I'm
like that of the farmer and manufac-
turer, his contribution to the world
is practically imperishable, and the
dollar that comes from his hand is
not that transferred from one to
another of the money already exist
ing, but it is dollar wrested from
the bowels of the earth aud added to
the worlds treasure. He sends forth
from the barren fastnesses of nature
q stream of wealth that flows through
all the channels of trade and COM
merce, imparting life and vigor to
the business of the world, and giving
bread to earth's toilers to its remotest
confines.

Encourage the Pr0spector.

When prospectors from other
portions of the State come into this
county for the purpose of exploring
and developing our mines they
should not be annoyed by demands
for poll and road taxes. It is fair to
presume that these men pay such
taxes in the counties where they
reside, and that they are only tempo
rarily among us. When petty
official with view of making his
percentage harnesses them and
threatens to sieze their baggage and
prospecting outfits for taxes. a
natural prejudice will be aroused in
the bosoms Of the hardy miners, and
they will give our mining field a
wide berth. Even if they do not pay
poll-taxes in other places, Shasta
county can afford to lose the few
dollars demanded of them. The
prospector, though poor and some
times ragged, Is the forerunDer Of
capital and enterprise. By his efforts
new mines and sources of wealth
are discovered and brought to the
notice of men of means. Capital
follows him and prosperity and q
demand for labOr ensue. Take the
history of the last three months as an
illustration of the benefits arising
from the lators of the prospectors !;
see the number of men brought into
the country and the thousands Of
dollars have been expended for sup
plies, and what we have seen so far
is only fraction of what we Will see
in the future. By all means the
prospector should have q chance, and
nothing should be thrown in his
way to hinder or discourage him. He
Is working not alone for himself, but
for all of US, and through his efforts
the country will grow rich and pros
perOus.-Shdstd Democrat.

Long Time Securities.

It is very common among railroad
corporations to have leases executed
for such q long term of years tha.
perpetuty is practically secured. So
accustomed have railroad managers
thus become to to the G living of very
long periods for their operations that
it is not surprising to notice a ten
dency toward the greater extension
of the limits in which the bonded In
debtedness will become due. The
longest period OF this kind which
has vet come under our notice is the
one proposed last week at q meet
ing of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne 4
Chicago Railway company. 1t Is
proposed to issue bonds to be due at
the option of the company after the
year 2s6s, or only little matter OF
SS4 years hence. The time Is coming
If, indeed. it has not already come
when bonds of this kind, represent
ing undoubted value. will be in very
good demand by investors in this
country who desire to put their
money wherei it will not be disturbed
every few years by their securities
being paid off, causing them much
trouble in making investments.
