FOR PRESENTS.
Registrar Smiley and His Chief
Deputies Remembered.

The Feast Of the passover Of the Regis
trar's Office took place yesterday afternoon
about o'clock. AT the close of the long
and laborious session of the Election Com
mission all the clerks in the department as
sembled in Registrar Smilay's private office,
and when lie walked in. looking careworn
and haggard from his fatiguIng ordeal, he
did not know what to make of this rather
unusual reception.
As he stepped behind his desk and was
about to take his accustomed seat Charles p.
Welch, one of the clerks, issued from the
thrOng at the left and walked ito his desk.
Then the strange gathering was all explained.
In a few brief and appropriate remarks Mr..
WEIGH expressed TO MIR. Smiley, in behalf of
the clerks, the deep feeling OF respect and
gratitude his kind and courteous treatment
of them had engendered, and TO express their
great regard for him they had assembled TO
present slight token.
He then drew from beneath his coat
magnificent mahogany cane, mounted with
O massive gold head, and presented it to Mr..
Smiley. For moment the Stalwart Regis
trar was nearly overcome with emotion. But
suddenly taking his gaze from the beautiful
gift, he said:
Gentlemen, you are all mistaken. You
are not Indebted TO me for any special
favors. l am the debtor, and | am under
everlasting gratitude to you all for the mas
terly manner in'which you have discharged
the duties Of this Office since | have been
here"
He added that the work of that office had
never been So efficiently performed. The
men had been tireleSs in their efforts TO
please, and unceaSing in their determina-
ton to keep the work under perfect control.
He had never mingled with n set of men
more congenial and for whom he had greater
regard. They had justly earned his utmost
rpSnpct and gratitude and hp hOnnI he
would never be placed IN u situation where
he could not show and express what lie now
felt.
The few outsiders present thought the
event was at an end, but were interrupted
as they started to go by some one asking:
where's Jacobs 2"
Here he is" another answered, and the
unassnming Chief Deputy was escorted to
the center of the room, where lie was con-
fronttd by Walter Mead, another deputy,
and prevailed upon to listen to another pres
entatiOn speech.
Mr.. Mead's remarks were exceedingly
well chosen, and he closed them by handing
MI. Jacobs an elegant gold chain and locket,
the latter showing raised letter ID,
formed of small diamonds, within which
was his wife's miniature. Mr. Jacobs re-
Spouse was his heartfelt thanks and the
hope that the cordial relations between him
and his friends might always endure.
Max Warshauer, the First Assistant of
Chief Jacobs, was then dragged through the
crowd and hustled up to the front desk, and
after few pleasant words presented with a
beautiful gold Chain and locket.
Next on the list proved to be Thomas
Croke, and his good favor in the esteem of
his fell0w-workmen was pleasantly referred
to, and their appreciation of it was shown
by the presentation Of a gold cameo ring,
bearing large initial &c" set with dia-
monds.

A Conchman Accused of Bigamy.

in this city few days ago, accompanied by
her three little children, to search for her
husband, Daniel McFadden. formerly a
coachman for the late Daniel Callaghan.
McFadden has been in the State for some
two years and up to eight months ago sent
his wife money enough to live on. Finally
he wrote her that he was going TO sea, but
soon after she ascertained that he had mar
ried one Ellen O'Brien in August last. Since
her arrival She has sworn to complaint
against her husband for bigamy, and yester-
day word was received by the police here
that McFadden is living in Santa Rosa. A
telegraphic order for his arrest was at once
dispatched and an officer detailed to go up
to Santa Rosa last night and bring McFad-
den TO this city

Napa Notes.
Editor Call: The year for Napa County
has been decidedly prosperous one.
OrchardiSts have got good prices for their
fruit very little land is devoted TO grain
raising and vineyardists have gathered
large crops and received from 80 to so per
cent more for their grapes this year than
last. The first crop of grapes has about all
been gathered; the second will soon find its
way into the cellars.
Nurserymen will hardly be able to provide
all the trees wanted for another seasons
planting, so much ground is being set
apart for the first time for fruit-growing.
Competing lines water and railroadJ of
transportation between this city and the
metropolis guarantee to the grower here adj
vantages enjoyed by few producers in the
State. Facilities for shipment are the best
and freight rates are low.
Improvements in the city in the shape of
newly macadamiZed streets, stone walks and
adorned private grounds bespeak thrift and
pride that is creditable to the citizens, and
the new business blocks talked OF and these
already established and thrOnged with busy
buyers indicate healthy commercial coDdi-
tion.
The political pulse beats high But few
more days remain for all men who are here
to get in their work. In the roundup one
week from Tuesday Napa will be found
with the advance column of the army Of
principle patriotism and protection.
