Knew All About 1t.

He was an elderly man, probably
so. His whiskers grew in little tuft
like Uncle Sans, straight out from the
point of his chin; his linen duster was
evidently the same he had purchased
to attend the state fair several years
ago. He came out to the front end of
the depot, gazed around in bewildered
fashion, up and down and across the
street, and half dozen cabmen rushed
for him headlong.
'.Cab, sir? Cab. sirP This wayr'

One had his grip. the other the UNI

Hyphenated postoffiee Names.

Some of the residents on the shores of
the Hudson seem 10 be especially FESTIVE
under the humiliation of being compelled
to live in places bearing such common
place and mere American names as Irving
ton, Yonkers, Tarrytown, Poughkeepsie,
Newburg, ETC., and insist on heading their
note and letter paper with their hyphen-
lied ideas of what their postoffice addresses
ought to be-as ''Tarrytown-on-the-Hu d-
son." and similar deviations from the
actual names of their postoffices.
There was doubtless good reason in Eng
land for such names bestowed in pre-post-
office times) as Weston under Lizard, Mid
dleton-on-the-Walds ,Stoke-b y-Nayland and
like compounds, needful to distinguish
them from numerous other Westons, Mid
dletons and Stokeses, but in this country,
where there are no two postoffices of the
same name name in any state, such link
ing on of useless addenda is simply one of
those freaks of fatuous folly"
The practice is vexation to postoffice
clerks, and often leads to the missending of
letters; and this fact is doubtless the rea-
son for the admonition which appears in
1.-THE New York Postofice Guide" under
the head of Suggestions to the Public"
"Fanciful additions should not be made
to the names of postoffices, as they are apt
| to mislead and confuse asserting clerks,
and so cause errors. For example, 'Patta-
gumpus, Me- should not be extended to
Pattagumpus-on- the Penobscot." - New

CASTLE VALLEY ROAD
The Articles of Incorporation
Filed With the Auditor.
IL is to Run Through Rich Mineral District
Which Is Also Full of Other Natural
Resources.

The articles of association of the Castle
Valley railroad company were filed with
Auditor Pratt yesterday afternoon. The
capital stock Of the road is fixed at $1,000
600, of which amount stock has been sub
scribed in the sum of $1,000 per mile and 10
per cent. paid into the treasury of the
company. The actual contemplated cost OF
construction of the road, together with the
cost of right of way, motive power, and
other appurtenances for the completion
and running of the road as near as can he
estimated by competent engineers is $500,

The railway to be built maintained and
operated by the Castle Valley railway com

STILL GOING DOWN.

The weeks trading on the stock ex-
change was marked by spurts Of activity,
interspersed with periods of dull depres-
sion.
Mammoth stock suffered a severe relapse
and even Glencoe failed to maintain
the speculative advance it received on the
strength of the rumored big strike. The only
stock that withstood the general downward
tendency was Centennial which
held its own remarkably firm at between
$50 and $50. The bears attribute the stiff
ness of this stock to the few shares that are
on the market, and claim that it is being
manipulated by the Bambergers.
Saturdays trading was unusually lively,
and most of the speculative stocks enjoyed
some consideration from the brokers.
Jake Bamberger pied the fine form OF
Big Hole Placer by selling it down to 51a
cents.

sold Saturday literally at 215; Stevenson

Making 1t Rather Personal.

This is credited as one of General Lew
WSllace's Turkish jokes: There lived in
STEAMBOAT, Turkey, a well-to-do Turk
named Ismad Ismail Hassam. He was en-
dowed with oriental wit that stood him
well in hand when he was in tight place.
A neighbor called on Ismail one day and
wanted to borrow his donkey to use an
hour. Ismail made a low salaam and said:
''Neighbor, l am sorry, but my boy start
ed on the donkey an hour ago to Scutari
By now he is gayly trotting over the hills
far from the sacred precincts of STEAMBOAT. -
just as Ismail finished his speech DON
keys loud bray was heard in the stable,
which was under the same roof as Ismairs
house, but in the rear. The neighbor said:
''Ah, 1 hear your donkey bray"
Ismail protested that his neighbours ears
were deceived, and that the noise was not a
donkey's bray. Then the donkey, which
was supposed to be jogging along toward
Scutari, brayed twice loudly. 1t was toe
much, and the neighbor cried:
sob, that is your donkey, Ismail; Allah
help me. / can now borrow him.
Then Ismail said:
(which do you believe is lying, the don.
key or me?"
The neighbor had to give Ismail the ben
eft of the doubt, and went away-Wash

Gently and wrote to Connecticut acquaint-
ance requesting him to pay them a visit
and to bring along an honest country girl
to do service. An eighteen-year-old girl

of filling the bill, but who had never been

little timid when she made her maiden

insane persons at Amityville, Long Island.
He has been there ever since. In the
Adams Express company was found pack
age addressed to VIENNA containing $500 in
cash and 5000 in bonds on Jackson county,
Ore. This discovery showed that Vienna
was possessed of means and yesterdays
proceedings were brought to have commit
tee of his person and property appointed by
the court. The doctors Of the private asy-
lum testified VIENNA was insane and at
times he was dangerous and the doctor was
of the opinion his cure was not possible.
In answer to questions VIENNA said he
was kidnapped year and q half ago by two
ruffians and placed in prison. 1t was said
that in 1850 he sold out his interest in a
theatre in San Francisco and invested $40, :
600 in vessel in which he set sail for the
Society islands where for ten years he was
not heard from. He then, it Is said, turned
up in San Francisco and started east on
/ foot. The jury found VIENNA insane and in
capable of taking care of himself or his
property. A committee will be appointed
by the court for that purpose.

Condition of the Crops.

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The weekly crop
bulletin says: The season continues late
and owing to excessive rains, muddy roads
and cold weather, little farm work is yet
accomplished in the northern states. The
cold and rainy weather has retarded the
growth in the states of the Ohio
and the upper Mississippi vallies, but
generally throughout the winter wheat
region. Wheat, fruit and pasturage
continue in good condition. The ground is
in excellent condition. in the spring
wheat region of Dakota and Minnesota.
Excessive rains have also retarded work in
Kentucky and Tennessee, where the season
is reported from two weeks to month
late. Grass and wheat in these two states
are doing we'll; but the snow and frost of
last night will probably iniure the frait as
trees are reported in bloom. 1t is also
probable damaging frosts will occur to-
night as far south as the northern part of
the gulf states. Oregon reports showers
have kept the soil moist, and but little
spring seeding has been done. There is no
damage to the fruit from recent frosts.
Fall wheat is doing finely. Reports
from California indicate the weather for
week has not been favorable, although as
