LOCAL INTELLIGENCE,
The stevens Gases Dismissed

Judge Van Fleet made an order yester-
day in the cases of The People VS.. Horace
Stevens, charged with embezzling money
while employed in the Office of the Sur
veyor-General, dismissing them The order
recltes the circumstances under which the
defendant was arrested in November. 1884
the lact OF frequent continuances because
OF inability Of one side or the other to pro-
cure necessary witnesses, and that when
the matter was last called the District At
torney, seconded by the ex-District Attor-
ney, moved for dismissal on the ground
that 1t was doubtful whether a conviction
could he obtained, because of lack of evil
dence OF criminal intent; that the defend
ant had already suffered great punishment
for any possible criminal design on his
part; that the State had not suffered any
loss through the defendant: that the latter
prior to this charge had ever borne good
character, and generally that the prosecution
was originally instituted in good faith but
under misapprehension of the true facts
and that the ends of Justice would not be
subserved by further prosecution. At
the hearing of the motion, the Surveyor
General, who insugated the arrest, volun-
tarlly appeared in Court and under oath
stated the circumstances under which he
commenced the prosecution, but that he
was now satisfied the case should be dis
missed; that the State had not lost any OF
its funds as the defendant, while disclaim-
ing any criminal intent or guilty knowl-
edge, had voluntarily paid the amount of
the alleged discrepancy into the State treas
ury before the criminal proceedings were
commenced. Judge Van Fleet says ~
am satisfied that there is a want. if not an
entire absence, of evidence of that criminal
intent which is made essential under the
law to be co-operant with any given act in
orderto constitute public offense.
Without entering upon recital of the facts
here, 1t Is sufficient for the purposes of this
motion TO say that, to my mind, a submits
sion of either one Of these cases to a Jury.
free from bias or prejudice upon the evil
dence as stated above, would not result in
a conviction of the defendant, but that, at
the end of a long and expensive trial, the
defendant would be acquitted, while the
public treasury would be minus the ex-
pense OF the litigation. Upon
the whole case, am of opinion that JUS

reasons stated, an order will be entered that
the several informations be dismissed, that

MCCARTHY HEARD Embellishments
Court Clerk Mccarthy has written from
Honolulu TO Deputy Clerk John S. Will
Jams, requesting the latter to make the
office settlement for January with the Con-
troller, the same as, just before he left for
the Islands, he wrote him a request to
make the December settlement. He writes
that his health has been improved by the
change of climate, and that he will soon
return TO California. At the time of writ
ing, he, of course, had no knowledge of the
proceedings his singular conduct caused to
be taken, and that an officer was en- route
to keep him company on his return, and
see that he was well cared for. His friends
claim that he intended to return before the
expiration of sixty days and that when he
does return the State will find herself
possessed of two Clerks of the Supreme
Court 1t is stated that his friends are TAX

The burro Is a condensed jackass. He is little all over except his ears and voice. He has long hair all over his body, four legs, two ears and one tail As vocalist the burro stands without rival. He starts off with a low, sweet "Ohe he -ohy-he, haw he, hlw- haw haw he hawl" and keeps 1t up until you tremble for his life; and jlst as you think he will surely stop, or die and get out of misery. he disap. points all your fond expectations by turning on little more sound, rever- sing the action, and retracting all that he has just said. A vocal solo rem dered ty an equipped barro is an ex' perience never to be forgotten. have cen strong men moved to tears as they listened to his sweet but mclan- choiy cadence-because they had no club or battering ram with which to show their appreciation and soothe their perturbed spirits. The butro can not sing without raising his tail. As his vocal organs li'nber up, his tail as- cends until it is extended in hori- zontal straight line. and from the tip of his nose to the tip oi hlS tail he Is one continuous, harmonious, exultlnt wave of sound.

One day sat in a car seat, on the Saugus branch of the Eastern road, behind pale, careworn lady, who was taking a httle boy from Boston 10 Maiden. As the little boy was of d very inquiring mind, and everything seemed to attract his attention, could not help listening to some of his ques- tions.
 "What is that, aunte?" the little boy commenced, pointing to stack of hay on the marsh.
 70, that's hay, dear," answered the careworn iady.
 "What is hay, auntie?"
 "Why, hay is hay, dear"
 "But what is hay made of2" "Why, hay is made of dirt, and water and afr.
 "Who makes it1"
 "God makes it, dear"
 "Does he make it in the daytime or night2"
 "ln both, dear"
 "And Sundays1"
 "Yes, all the time"
 "Aln't it wicked to make hay on Sunday, auntie1"
 70, l don't know. I'd keep still, Willie, that's dear. Auntie is tired." After remaining quiet moment, Willie broke out:
 "Where do stars come from, ,auntie9" "l don't know; nobody knows" "Did the moon lay theml' "Yes, l guess so. Don, LoIhe; me ''
 Another short silence, when Wllji. broke out:
 Benny says oxlns is a owl, aunlie is they?"
 "Oh, perhaps so.
 "l think a whale could lay eggs don't you aun,ie7"
 "Oh, yes, guess so, said the shameless woman.
