As he left his Office one day last week
he was accosted by a rou~gh-looking, rag
gedly dressed man, who requested the
gift Of 80 cents with which to purchase a
dinner.
"Wby should l give you 90 cents for
your dinner?" asked young Mr.. de B.
"What claim have you upon me?"
"None," said the beggar. "That is, no
more than the hungry and penniless al
ways have upon those who have some
thing TO spare"

Young Mr.. de b. was impressed-natur-

"There," he said, Nthere is you dinner.

negro who had been a body servant To

As the day was hot. Solicitor O'Bryan

of which was trailing in the water. Feel

chief inward. to find that he had landed
with IL "A t"hree-pound trout. which had at

Melville ~Preudenburg, a New York city

There he will join that noble band Of mar

GOVERNOR PsNNoYsR runBLsp.

Governor Pennoyer of Oregon must
be accredited with the possession of "a
head of extra length. lie has declined
an invitation to umpire a game of base
ball between the lawyers and real es-
tate men of Portland. The declination
may give some little oiiense to the gen
tlemen who rendered him the Office of
umpire, but such disaifection toward
the governor. If any. will be short lived
and ineffective in comparison with the
fierce and ugly opposition which would
certainly have been engendered had he
otliciated in the capacity desired.
The whole scheme was doubtless a
trap which the crafty and unprincipled
republicans of Oregon had set for his
eXcellency. The governors popularity
is altogether too firmly established to
suit them, and, having tried every
other means of shaking il, his political
enemies are nj last resorting to the
most desperate and outrageous methods
conceivable of putting him in a hole.
The accomplished chief magistrate of
Oregon was sharp enough To perceive
the pit that had been dug and grace
fully kept out of il. Governor Penn
oyer's ~sagacity merits the respectful
consideration of the world.

his moral instruction Ia the precepts of
that distinguished philosopher, and mt

way out of the difficulty.
Many people who are not personally

ions of Socrates. but who in "A general
way have CLEANED the notion that he

more profound and scholarly in fact
than Christ or any Of his apostles, will
feel like patting the Bay Shore princi-
pal on the back for having done a good
thing. by them Socrates will be re-
garded ms an eminently satisfactory
substitute for the Bible: and the only
