a Young Woman Kills a Bear.

-HHT 1O' VVHIIVI NOuE'J IVVetH'
Last Thursday two young ladies of sacra-
mento, who have been camping in the neigh
borhood OF Bolinas, went on huckleberry
picnic and were somewhat surprised to en-
counter large brown bear engaged in the
same line Of business. One of the young ladies,
who Ia an expert shot, happened to have rifle,
and though not wishing TO rouse any hard feel
ing did not propose TO have her fun interfered
with by man or beast Therefore, as Bruin
seemed disposed to assert monopoly Of the
entire huckleberry crop OF the district, she
quietly but resolutely took the offensive and
sent bullet through its BRAIN This is the
first bear, we believe, that has ever been killed
was brought to san.Rafael by the Bolinas
stage. 1t was a big, ugly brute, and look at
1t was sufficient TO arouse admiration for the
grit of the two quiet looking ladies that put it
To sleep.

Ho Rang for the Apple boy.


A Brunswick and Western man said: "a
very verdant looking kind of fellow got on
the train at Albany. He was solicited by the
train boy several times to buy apples, candy,
ETC., but was evidently too close flsted He
suddenly, however, got II into his head that
he would like to have some apples and asked
drummer when the boy would be around
again The drummer told him II he pulled the
bell cord It would fetch the boy. Without a
moments hesitation hayseed gave II two
violent jerks The train was running at full
speed, but the engineer, hearing the danger
signal, downed brakes and stopped. was at
q loss, and so were the passengers, to account
for the sudden stoppage OF the train, and
rushed forward TO see the engineer. On my
way passed through the car In which hay.
seed was, and he stopped me With, Mister,
how long will II be before the apple boy Is
aroundf There was q litter In the car, and
smelt a mouse. Who pulled that cordr
asked. Il did, 'reioined hayseed; 4 wanted to
call the apple boy. The Joke was out, aud ]
signalled the engineer to go on"

WASHINGTON, DECEMBER 8, 1888.

The PRESIDENTS message presented
TO Congress to-day is an extraordinary
document in only one particular, and
that is its total lack of allusion to the
subject OF civil service reform, which
next TO tariff reform was the Presidents
chief political characteristic. The mes
sage is evidently written by Mr.. Cleve-
land himself, and barring the fact that It
indicates little soreness, is very calm
and statesmanlike lpaper. His refer.
ences to the tariff are tempered by ex-
perience, and he mentions the Sack :
vile incident in spirit which leads to
the conclusion that he Is not sorry
for what he did and would
be ready and willing to respond to an en-
core If called upon, He treats our for
eign relations in firm and dignified
manner, and our domestic relations of
labor and capital are touched upon with
yielding of the touch for labor Enough
is said of pensions to show that the
President still believes in giving of the
Government bounty only to those who
are worthy. All in all, the message is
dispassionate, as might be expected from
one whose direct personal interest in
State affairs Is not to be of long con-
tinuance, and there is throughout It's
passages the tone of the statesman rather
than that of the politician.
