They Have Been Called I'm.

A few days ago General D. K. Ward well arrived in this city from Wash ington, and among other relics of that city, he brought back fine plug hat, which, by the way, becomes the old gentleman.
 Now there has always been an un- written law in this city against the in- troduction of the plug hat, and several parties who have tried to introduce the same have found out to their cost, that they must never do the like again, and they have faithfully ad hered to their promise. Our hearts trembled within us when we saw Gen eral Wardwell, walking serenely up the street, under one of those hats which the unwritten law makes mis- demeanor to wear, but as he wore it almost week and nothing came of it, we began to think that the custom would be allowed, and were just on the eve of ordering a gross of plug hats, and making every one in the office, from devil up, wear one, in fact we had written the order out and in- tended sending it this morning, but an occurrence last evening, which we will now relate, caused us to change our mind:
 Last evening prominent citizen of this city meeting General Wardwell asked him to lend him his plug hat. The General consented and the change was made, and the citizen started up the street where he met prominent United States official and some other friends, one if whom succeeded in talk ing off the prominent citizen for a walk. The pair walked over to the Vizina dump and were engaged in conversation, when the balance of the friends came up in stealthy manner, and came to standstill a short dis tance from the unsuspecting promi- nent citizen under the plug hat. After a few whispered words, one of the party, who is known to be a crack shot, was seen to draw revolver from his pocket and take steady aim at the plug hat. A moment of silence fol- lowed, and even the hum ot the Girard mill seemed to be silenced, when bang came report from the pistol, and off came the plug hat from the proni- nent citizens head, while the promi- nent citizen fell prostrate on the rocks crying that he was shot.
 The party of friends picked him up and convinced him that he wasn't dead, and hustled him off, and when the police who were attracted by the sound of the shot, reached the spot all was silent as the grave.
 This morning the prominent citi- zen brushed the nap of the hat over the holes in the plug hat and returned it to the General who placed it upon his head, all unconscious of the fact that there were two bullet holes through it. Happening to meet the General this morning, with the hat on, one of the party ..who was in the plot last evening, told the General what narrow escape his friend had, and showed him the holes in the hat. The General immediately put on an other hat and stated to our reporter today. when asked why he did not wear the plug, that plug hats had been called in.

: Hon. Abbot Kinney. the Chairman Of
the State Board Of Forestry, has for
some time past been in communication
with the Directors OF the University Of
Southern California in reference to the
establishment Of School Of Forestry in
connection with their College of Agri-
culture, and he writes that the Univer-
sity has decided to fill the place and will
this year institute such a class. There
10 growing want for men capable Of
managing forests and new wood planta-
tons, and it Is hoped that sufficient in
terest will be felt in this important
matter to render the school of forestry
popular and successful. The University
Of Southern California also proposes tc
send delegates to the annual meeting Of
the American Forestry Congress to be
held this year in Denver, and it is en-
pected that an exhibit will be made OF
California woods that will do credit to
the State. One gentleman, who has
taken deep interest in the subject OF
forestry, has volunteered to lecture on
the commercial planting Of trees, and it
Ia proposed that other papers will be
prepared and sent forward by the dele
gates.
