SNUFF IN THE SENATE.
a Custom That Has Almost Died Out
But of Which Evidences Remain.
From the Neto York Herald.

From the Neto York Herald.
WASHINGTON, June 16.-The repeated
illusions to Mr.. Thurman's fondness for
stuff direct attention to the fact that two
boxes filled with this aromatic substance
occupy a modest position on the
ornamental woodwork in the rear
of the vice presidents chair. These
boxes are under the especial super
vision of Capt. Bassett, the venerable fac
totum of the senate chamber. At the close
of each days session the boxes are carefully
examined by Capt. Bassett.
When the supply has become exhausted
to certain point they are refilled. In fact,
they have never been empty within the
memory of the oldest employee. The boxes
are tightly astened with screws to the
wooden ledge upon which they rest. This
precaution is necessary to prevent their alb
stractlon by the mischievous young pages
or by the swarm of visitors who crowd the
corridors of the capitol daily.
There are few snuff takers among the
present occupants of the senate. Mr.. Will
son of Maryland is the only one with whom
it may be said to be habit. Mr.. Edmunds
INDUCES in an occasional pinch. Mr.. Beck
finds it beneficial when troubled with a
severe cold in the head. Even grave, dig
nified John Sherman will sometimes re-
nave the box lid as he passes through the
DIOR leading to the marble room on the re-
publican side and tickle his olfactories with
a good sized pinch.
Sometimes little knot of half dozen or
more will gather about the nearest availa-
BILE box and inhale the contents with an air
of conviviallty quite amusing to behold.
Away back in the early forties, however,
when the boxes first became a recognized
fixture liz the chamber, the snuff taker was
the rule and not the exception. From this
period down to the stormy days of the re-
bellion the most conspicuous members of
the body, including Livingston, Benton,
Bib, Webster, Clay and Calhoun, were
frequently partakers of the weed.
One of the most amusing pictures which
Capt Bassett draws of that day and genera
ton represents the gloomy and austere
Jefferson Davis, then distinguished leader
of the senate, gravely discussing the merits
of some profound constitutional question
with bluff Ben Wade Of Ohio, while each
stood holding between his uplifted thumb
and forefinger.a pinch of snuff he was too
busy to inhale.

William Walter Phelps, an eloquent New
Jersey congressman, is spoken of as likely
No be nominated for the vice presidency
He was born in New York city in the year
1889. In 1860 he was graduated from Yale
college, and three years later received the
degree of LII. B. at the Columbia college
law school, In 1868 he retired from the
practice of the law. He was elected to a
seat in the Forty third congress in the year
hs72. In 1880 he was chosen a delegate at
large from New Jersey to the republican
national convention at Chicago. The fol-
lowing year he was appointed by President
Garfield United States minister to Austria,
which position he resigned in 1882. The
same year he was elected to the Forty
eighth congress. He has been a member of
the house of representatives ever since that
date.
Mr. Phelps is man of large means, and

Tile possesses marked independence of char
acter, as exhibited in his letter to J. Warren
Keifer, ex-speaker of the house of repre-
sentatiyes at Washington, asking that gem
tleman to withdraw his candidacy for a
renewal Of the honor. Protection and its
great apostle, Mr. Blaine, have no more
Earnest friend than William Walter Phelps.

A WILD WESTERN WEDDING.
Effective Coupling of Wyoming Pail
by Justice of the Peace.
0m the Yonkers Salesman.

From the YonkerS Statesman.
It appears that one Jonas Burton had
been chosen justice of the peace of one OF
the small Wyoming towns, not because he
was possessed of any special qualifications
for the office, but on account of his personal
magnetism, which had about it all those
qualities which go to make the yellow dog
thing of beauty and a joy forever to the
lovers of pure cussedneSs. Among other
functions of his Office Hon. Jonas one day
found himself called upon to join in bonds
of paddock" as matrimony is sometimes
called in the west, raw young couple from
up the country.
His honor was appalled, at the situation.
lie could commit horse thief to the gal
lows with all the elegance and impressiv-
hess Of manner which that act demanded.
lie could sentence q man to Jail for life for
holding five aces in his hand at poker, with
out turning a hair, but as 'marryin' folks,
he wasn't in it, be goshtlemitelyW But as
Justice of the peace he had to do it. and his
perturbation Of spirit was dreadful to wit
ness.
About an hour before the ceremony was
TO take place the correspondent accompa-
MED by one of the leading citizens of the
place, Mr. Stiles, was sent to the squires
cabin and found him porting over large
volume of the statutes of Wyoming, sweat
ing like horse, and looking terribly anx-
ious. After greeting the callers, he said:
STILES the burned galoots that got up
these yer laws hadn't gumption enough to
last them over night. I've run through the
blamed book a half dozen times, an can't
lind dod blasted word about matermony,
or how tina hitchin process is proceeded
with I've just got to put the clamps on this
couple hit or miss an eff don't yoke 'em
up legal l can't help it,"
oh said Stiles, Just do the best you
can. Any kind of ceremony will do in this
country, for people never question the le-
gality of the thing. I'll post you as well as
can"
Stiles then explained to him about how he
should proceed, and the old man thought,
finally, he could worry through it. Ere
long the couple appeared, followed by a
crowd of the citizens of the camp. The
candidates stood up before the old squire,
who said:
"teller citizens, this var man an this var
woman have appeared before this court to
be hitched in the legal bands of wedlock. If

The bright little fellow of the picture
Prince Frederick William, is the eldest Of
the four sons of the Emperor William H. Of
Germany. He was born as recently as May
g. 1882, but is not too young to wear {
military uniform, to receive with dignity
the salute from the soldiery, and to carry
himself as one born to the purple.
His mother, previous to her marriage
was known as the Princess Victoria Of
Schleswig- n-Augustenburg. She is
in the Goth year of her age.
The tiny soldier boy is receiving careful
instruction, and it is we'll to hope that with
advancing years he will develop the graces
and noble characteristics of his grand
father, the lamenteI Frederick III.

THE NEVADA BANK.

The Virginia Enterprise of the Sth
states that the subscription lists for
stock in the Nevada Bank Of San
Francisco will remain open a week
longer, and quotes ex-United States
Senator Fair as saying that unless the
stock were taken hold of by solid men
the bank would 60 into liquidation.
As there are said to be hundreds Of
millions Of dollars lying idle in the
banks Of California, this does not
speak very we'll for the popularity Of
the Nevada Bank.
The Bank was originally founded
With u capital of $lO,OOO.00O, but on
the adoption of the new constitution
this was reduced to s3,OO0,00O. This
move, it was generally believed at the
time, was for the purpose OF avoiding
the payment of taxes on the large
capital, as required by the new con-
tuition. But it seems to have
shaken confidence in the stability OF
the institution; and as the two re.
naming members of the original
bonanza firm cannot devote much Of
their time to it they are compelled to
such change as will release them
from tho responsibility of its manage.
ment, evon though they may, in at
tanning that end, be compelled to
throw the concern into liquidation.

THE HALEY POSTOFFICE,
Its Business Last Year the Same as
During the Preceding Year.

Postmaster Hammer has sent in his
annual report of the business transact
ed at the Haley postoilice during the
year ending April, 1888. The money
order business has increased, but the
stamp bnsiness-upon which the
government allowance for salary, ETC.,
is based-has just about held ITS own,
the difference in favor of 1878 as
against 1867 being just about 81.
The allowance viii, therefore be Just
the same as last year.
This is somewhat disappointing, as
the business Of the office was popu.
larry supposed to have increased.
But it must be remembered that, last
year, three new routes we're created
at the expense of the HALEY Office,
to.wit: That to Camas Prairie via
Bellevue, that to Smoky via ketchum,
and that to Era via Bellevue. If
these be taken into consideration, it
will be seen that the business prop.
erly belonging to the Office has really
increased.

WHY ADVERTISING PAYS.

All see the advantage OF advertising
in starting business, and its helpful.
ness in getting a new enterprise we'll
on its feet. Not all, however, remarks
a contemporary, understand just why
it could not be dropped, or, at any
rate, why it proportions cannot be
greatly reduced after trade once gets
moving to a proprietor's doors. One
reason why he must keep on making
his usual announcements is drawn
from the conditions OF commerce in
our day. There was a time when
perhaps a mans sign over his door
sufficiently called attention to his bus.
mess, and in connection with his local
reputation in the mouth of his neigh
borhood, placed him prominently in
the public eye. Such a time could
only be when nobody did more than
that-when that was the course pur-
sued by dealers generally. To-day,
however, attention is called only when
it is compelled: so many other dealers
are placing themselves before the
public gaze that he will never be
seen if he does not get in line with
them.

To the District Attorneys and Asscssors of the

Gentlemen-Your attention is re-.

Chapter Four Of Title Ten of the
Political Code as to the assessment of
property for taxation.
Section 1925 expressly requires
that all taxable property shall be as.
sessed AT ITS FULL CASH VALUE, and
that Chapter gives ample power to
he Assessor to enable him TO ascer.
tain all taxable property in his county,
while Section 1880 prescribes a very
stringent affidavit to be taken bv
the taxpayer, and Section 1882 au
thorizes the Assessor to subpoena and
examine witnesses, SO that in most
cases any omission must be "throuph
his willful failure or neglect" within
the terms OF Section 1857, and sub

the penalties Of that and the succeed.

per cent. Of their knc wn and &C.
