A GENTLEMAN writes to the PRosPEC TOR in which the point is raised that Col. Herring, as attorney general and the legal advisor of the board, had no business before the board of equaliza- ton as attorney for a number of cor porations, in which he succeeded in re ducing their assessments as placed by the county boards. The PRosPECToR fails to see anything wrong about it. Custom allows a certain latitude which is not confined to any particu- lar section of the country. There is but one feature about this particular case which may become more promi- nent in future campaigns, and that is that the Col. will reflect upon the stump, before again assailing Mark Smith for his defense of the Wham robbers.

Speaking of the last ball game be- tween San Francisco and Oakland, the Daily Report says: "There was no fun in the game until the ninth inning when T. Prattle Robinson summoned Louis Balz to his side just as the latter was getting into position to smile and deliver, as his custom. Louis dropped the ball and went to the bench. Then there arose from the Colonel's side tall young man with wealth of raven locks and pair of blt aohed tan shoes. He sauntered out to the box and his gait created much merrimsnt among the specta- tors. He walked as if he had been accustomed to tramping between rail- road tracks over ties more than the regulation distance apart. Before delivering the ball he held it in both hands high above his head, as if he expected some William Tell marksman to shoot it from his grasp. Owing to the length of time that elapsed in pulling the ball down to his waist and then behind his back, 8 base-runnel found no difficulty in advancing him. self on the circuit. After he had made one delivery some young man in one of the boxes sang, "And the band played an old Scotch ballad"
 After the game it was learned tha the new pitcher was Crouch"

It looks as though it would last forever if not uncovered. :. How did they make it?

Our Boomer.

Everyone in Tombstone knows Bloomer. Many friends of his used to tell him to drop the "l" in his name and call it Boomer. The latter was certainly the most appropriate, for there never was anything slow about him when news was brought in of a strike in Arizona. It didn't matter where it was, he was there as fast as a mule could get him there. He left for Harqua Hala upon the breaking out of that boom and has remained there ever since.
 Bloomer's ambition was to be jus tice of the peace, but his efforts in that line were never crowned with success until recently. He ia fixed at last, safe in his position as interpreter of justice with all it's attendant honors and profits.
 A gentleman from there in relating the doings of people at the mines says to the Gazette;

THE state makers are between two fires. The republican papers say that if they do not submit separate ar ticle to vote on, which is known as the Mormon test oath, that they will kill statehood. On the other hand, if they do give us the test oath to vote upon, we will not reach the goal for the reason that it will be showed un- der, and republican senate would never let us in with any such demo- cratic dye on us.
