Central Committee. He saws tina,
the committee adjourned until to. day,
to await the arrival from the North
OF the Hon. VIM. Hepburn. The
committee Is decidedly opposed to
indorsine any candidates for Federal
offices, and will probably allow the
matter of selection to rest with Mr.
Dubois, our Delegate in Congress.
Colonel Shoup is believed to be
willing to accept the Governorship.
This, it is believed, NAV somewhat
diminish the chances of Messrs. Pride
and Beatty, as Colonel Shoup has all
along been understood as out of the
tight. In fact, if Colonel Shoup had
not stated that he would not accept
the position if rendered to him,
Judge Beatty would probably not
have become candidate.

probably be the United States District
Attorney.

ed as mandamus counsel and Attor-

was prepared to prove the contrary,
and asked until Friday next to do SO,
at the same time saying that assistant
counsel, provided by the board of
commissioners of Alturas county,
could not arrive before that time.
Mr.. johnson objected to postpone

that his client, who in reality had no
interest in the matter, was here on
expense, and that no grounds existed
for another delay, etc. Chief Justice
Weir then gave Mr. Price until two

MY SHIPS THAT WENT TO SEA.


One after one they slipped the stocks
And one by one they sailed:
Slow creaked the heavy tackle blocks
And low the pennants traIled,
AS out beyond the restless tide,
Fast ebbing-far to lee
They drifted DER the ocean wide
My ships that went to sea.
Adown the long horizon S rim,
| watched them as they passed,
Cntil within the distance dim
They faded out at last;
AS happy birds, that seek the skies,
When first from cage set free,
SO disappeared before mine eyes
Ny ships that went to sea.
And other ships have come and gone
Since my ships sailed away,
And many a year in dusk and dawn
And many a night and day
Full oft the grass has shimmered green
And budded flower and tree,
But since that hear none have seen
Ny ships that went TO sea.
And yet-and yet-within my dreams
shows every mast and rope,
And sweetly on my farewell CLEANS
The smiling face OF Hope;
My slumbering iancies grope afar-
Through vislo not 10 be,
/ see them cross the harbor bar
My ships that went to sea.
All. nevermore Nay, nevermore
shall such gladness feel,
For on some storm-strewn rocky shore
Lies every shattered keel;
And still defying all that fate
Has brought or keeps for me,
Upon the moaning sands wait
Ny ships that went 10 sea.
