Not a Captious Man.

Not Captious Man.
A night or two since, as a police
man was making his way IN Beau
bien street, he was accosted by a col
ored man with the remark:
II doan' want to seem capshus,
sab deed I doan', but dar's trouble
in my house ober dar.'
What sort OF trouble?"
''Why, sab, a Guild pusson called
Williams sits dar wild his feet on de
stove convarsin' wild my wife. Use
ordered him to vacate, sab, but he re-
fused. What am de proper course in
sich case?''
"Go and order him out once
mcre''
In about ten minutes the man re
turned and reported:

sab, but I dun ordered him out, Just
as you said.''
'.And he didn't go?"
mo, sab. He said he'd see me in
Texas fust.. What would be your adj

':If a man was in my house and
wouldn't GO out I'd put him out.
Would it seem capshus, sah?'
81 don't think So
'Just as you say, sah-jist so, sab.
[ feel sartin that | ketch Gle ideah,"
He retired into his house, and the
officer remained to see the end. 1t
came in about two minutes. Three or
four foul yelIs were heard, somebody's
feet seemed to strike the wall. and
then the door opened and Williams
flew into the street like q half-flled
straw bed. He was scarcely on his
feet before he bolted up the walk, and
the owner of the housescame down the
steps to explain:
Il doan' like to seem capshus, sab,
but now dat I've got my han in I'd
like your advice about cuffin' de ole
woman up to a peak! Pears to me
dat she sorter encouraged Williams to
believe dat couldn't lick one side of

He Saw 1t at Last.
1t is said that an American went in
to a London booksellers, and asked
for Hare's. "Walks in London" In
the United States it is printed in one
volume, in this country in two.
.Oh, said the Yankee, as he looked
at them, 'syou part your Hare in the
middle, do you?"

bewildered look. .'Oh, no, sir
81 saw he didn't see the joke, said
the Yankee, $50 didn't explain, but
bought the books and went away.

As soon as the assistant saw me, he
approached me, .exclainling: Good!

The Concert.

| The concert and conundrum party q
the school house last evening given b,
the members of the Episcopal Church o
this place and Silver City, was largel,
attended. The following programm,
was rendered in pleasing manner:
Quartette-"Give Me My Own Nativ,
Isle" Messrs. Francis, Ten by, Lever,
ton and Uren.
Song waiting" Miss Adelaide
Leonard. Encored.
Song-"Far Away Mr.. C. Uren.
song-"Dreaming Eyes They Haunt
Me STILL" Mr.. Barkle.
Duet-"What are the Wild Waves
Saying?" Miss Leonard and Mr.. Chas.
Oman. Encored.
Song" Sailing" Mr.. Temby. Encored.
Duet Wounded Soldiers,n Messrs.
Baton and Leverton.
Song-Mrs. Harris. Encorsd.
-"Larbord Watch" Messrs. OK
nam and Temby.
Song-"Flower Song,n Miss Leonard.
Encored.
Double Quartette-aWhen There's
Love at Home,n Messrs. Barkle, Oman,
Leverton, Williams, Francis, Uren, Tenn
by and Edwards.
Miss D'Orsay, Mrs. Lower and Mr..
Rodda, who were down on the printed
programmes for recitations, failed to
materialize, but in their stead Miss
Leonard sang by request, "Home Sweet
Home" and Prof. Ryan favored the
listnsrs with selection on the cornet.
Both were fine, and loudly encored.
Mrs. Humphrey presided at the piano
and with other mbers of the commit
tee, kept things moving at lively rate.
Where all did we'll it is not necessary
to particularize, but the fact was dem
onstrated that these two little towns in
the gulch possess musical talent second
to none in the state.
After the concert lovers of dancing
enjoyed few hours of healthful exer-
else lunch was served, and the man
ayers allowed none to forget the text
of church socials: 1.-THE Lord Loveth a
Cheerful Giver." and those present laid
up treasure in heaven to the amount of
nearly $40. There seemed to be mis-
understanding as to the use to be made
of the funds, but Mr.. Oman informs US
that after paying small balance due on
the church organ, the remainder will
go toward providing public Christmas
tree for the children of DeLamar. The
cause is most worthy one, but great |
care must be taken that no little one is
or partiality shown, for too Of
ten such things have led to jealousies and |
heart aches.
Outside of those who took part in the |
entertainment Silver City was literally
represented and in the near future De-
Lamar talent will go up there TO assist
in raising funds for tree in that lively
,own.

is one OF our sterling miners and has the
sincere wishes of bis many friends here

hibting some fine opals taken from the
Snake river mines in which he is inter-
ested and of hich he is the discoverer.

weighs little more than one carat and
is certainly beauty. He says that ex-
perts value it at sixty dollars. They have
the lumber on the ground to put up
buildings and expect to begin mining
operations on liberal scale within
few days. When asked what the area
of the ground was on which the gems
had been found he replied, "a regular
quarry which large force of men could
not work out in many years" Phil

diggings this morning, and Mr.. Anchor
will go in short time.

CANADIAN ANNEXATION.

The desire for annexation to the United
States is growing rapidly in Canada.
Engiand's policy in the past is to blame
for this situation. England ought long
ago to have brought ali her colonies and
dependencies into a great alliance with
her for trade purposes. These colonies
were capable with time and opportunity
to develop their resources, of supplying
England with everything.
If England had given these colonies an
advantage in her market by means of diff
ferential duties the colonies could have
taken English goods on more favorable
terms than they allowed to the competl-
tors of English trade. England neglected
this opportunity and now some of her col
onies that once looked with hope and con-
fidencs to the mother country are begin
ming to look at the United States, notably
Canada and Newfoundland.
In sentimental sense Canada is abso-
lutely loyal to England. yet all her inter-
ests plead with her to obliterate the border
line that now separates her from the
United States. Nothing but customs
union with her colonies could have allevi-
ated the situation, but this has been de-
ferred SO long that, as Lord Salisbury con-
fessed, it is hopeless now 20 attempt it.
Unless the Democracy give Canada free
trade Canada will surely drift rapidly into
the mood of annexation.

LIBERAL. DIVORCE.

The friends of liberal divorce fairly saw
that legislation cannot check cohabitation
any more than il can prevent separation.
Albert Naquet, the eminent French law
yer and statesman, author of the divorce
Law of France. says:
In countries where divorce does not exts, the
number of unions officially dissolved decreases
and there ia no record of the subsequent unions
formed BY separated parties, but Il deos not FOL-
low that no such unions exist On the contrary,
illicit connections are formed aud saulter-
GUS family circles are created. which take the
place of regular and recognized households
while tl!egttimats children are substituted
for legitimate ones that would have been num-
hsred such II il had not been for this state Of
tA,ngs This is the only possible outcome Of
striet legislation. ard the result does not reflect
honor on such legislation.
The conclusion of Naquet is acauiesced
In as sound by the inrist, of our mos,
prosperous and enlightened states. and
their opinion Is entitled 70 great weight.
because lawyers and judges have the
widest Geld of observation of the whole
subject Of the practical working of the
laws concerning marriage and divorce.
The clergy do not agree with the courts,
because the clergy can never sc. over the
fsilscy Of confusing the function Of ser
mons which urge US to aspire TO the very
best and statutes which seek TO express
the beat that we can do.
The Catholic church holds that the
Ncriptures forbid divorce. and that there
fore marriage is indissoluble. Bishop
Potter. of the Episcopal church. holds the
eeripture permits marriage TO the
innocent psrty TO divorce for adultery.
st. Paul is quoted as authority for
divorce for desertion with remsrrisge,

lima has enacted the Roman Catholic de-
Mai of divorce for any cause whatever.

THE PIONEER.

The death Of Henry Yesler is reminder
that the "Oregon" pioneers are rapidly
passing away. When these "Oregon"
pioneers who settled the Sound country
were children Cooper was the most famous
writer of American fiction. In his ''Wept
of Wish-Ton-W Wish" he describes the life
and experience of the New England Puri-
tan pioneer and Indian fighter more than
two hundred years ago; in the "Deer
Slayer" he describes the pioneer and
Indian fighters life about the sources Of
the Susquehannah in Otsego county. New
York, in good old colonial times, just be-
fore the last great battle between England
and France for the Canadas; in ''The
Pioneers" he describes the pioneer life in
Pennsylvania after the Revolution, when
that was ''the West" while in "The
Prairie" he describes wild life across the
Mississippi in what is now Nebraska, and
that squatter type of restless native
Americans of gypsey temperament who
pushed across the plains and over the
mountains until they struck Oregon, that
"Brown founding Of the woods, whose baby
led
Was prowlsd round by the Indians cracking
trad
Cooper did not carry his squatter
sovereign IN fiction across the continent,
but the American pioneer in his deeds
outran even the prophetic vision of the
American novelist, who left him in Ne
braska struggling his way along the
Platte, for Cooper lived to see emigrants
cross the plains and the Rockies to Oregon
when six months elapsed between the
passage of the Mississippi and sighting
the waters of the Columbia. 1t seems
like dream that such wonderful changes
in transportation across the continent
should have been wrought within thirty
wears
