}. Ross, ,CashMarket 159 Main ST., Near the Brdg

Word was received here yesterday after
noon that Patrick Conley, formerly OF
this city, but for some years a resident OF
San Francisco, died in that city after an
Illness OF four days. Mr.. Conley was a
prominent citizen OF San Francisco, serv-
ing several years at Sheriff, and 1t is
stated that he accumulated considerable
property. His relatives still reside in this
city.
Yesterday afternoon man riding on
one OF the electrics got a big tumble at
the foot OF Broad street. The car was
goirg down Main street and he was sit
ting on the edge OF the seat. As the car
went around the curve at the Benedict
House he took a sudden dive, landing on
his head and shoulders. Everybody who
saw his flight through space thought he
was fatally injured, but he pulled himself
together and got on the car again.

An Interesting Patent.

OF the many people who think they know
a good deal about the confederate govern
ment only a few are aware of the fact that
the confederacy was supplied with a pat
ent office, and thatsit issued patents in just
about the same style as that practiced by
the United States. How many inventions
received such protection as could be
thrown around by the power which ruled
the south for four years may never be
known, but it is certain that az least fif-
teen received official recognition, for on a
wall in the office of Mr.. James L. Norris
is an original document which assured
John L. Jones, of Tally-Ho, N. c., that for
fourteen years from the 26th day Of
August, 1861, he should have ''the full and
exclusive right and liberty of making,
constructing, using and vending to others
to be used" new and useful improvement
in carriage wheels.
This was the fifteenth patent issued by
the confederacy. It was signed by Judah
P. Benjamin, attorney general, and coun-
tersigned by Rufus r. Rhodes. commits
sioner of patents. Mr.. Rhodes was United
States commissioner of patents prior to the
war. Accompanying the parchment,
which is properly sealed, and which cost
Mr.. Jones the sum of forty dollars, are the
customary specifications and drawings.
The penmanship displayed in the specifi-
cations is extremely beautiful, while the
drawings, which are in india ink on linen
tracing, could hardly be improved on. The
whole forms most interesting and valu-
able souvenir.-Washingt Star.

To the Palace.

The pail, or ssprecipice, can be reached
by long drive from Honolulu When
two ladies who had Travelled much and
were accustomed to hearing French spo-
ken in foreign countries were told that the
pail was one of the places to be visited
they translated the word palace" As
they were invited to the latter place to
reception one evening they ordered car
rage and set out, in their best finery, after
giving the coachman the order, "To the
pail"
Il fear you will have an unpleasant
drive" the hotel clerk had ventured to re-
mark, but they only replied:
"Oh, no; we have determined to go, and
it doesn't matter"
The distance seemed interminable, and
at last the ladies called to the driver:
'sDo you know where you are going?"
Faith, an I do" was the assured an
swer. cts to the pail, an I've been there
often"
Settling back in their seats they resigned
themselves to the fact that they were going
to some country place belonging to his
majesty. They were now in the open coun-
try.
An hour or more had elapsed, the road
way was steep and rough, and the rain
was still falling. The ladies in their anxi-
ETY. had forgotten their French, and cried
out in honest English:
s'Where is the palace?"
''Palacep' quoth the driver; tits not the
palace at all; it's the pail, an there it is,'
After this there was nothing to be done
but to turn about and retrace their steps,
but they were forced to descend in the
mire and rain while the driver turned the
carriage. Wet and bedragglad, they ar
rived at the palace just as the guests were
departing, and next morning found that
their adventure had become town talk

Soda wateff at Home.

Children often say that their notion OF
ideal luxury would be to own private
candy shop and soda water fountain, so
that life might be perpetual gorge OF
sweet things and an endless spree Of car
bonic acid beverages, with sirups and
cream.
The latter part of this ambition is no
longer beyond attainment, inasmuch as
the big apothecaries now advertise to sup
ply soda water and sirups in small COM
pass for home consumption. The sirups
are of the best quality, prepared from fruits
and put up in bottles, guaranteed to keep.
With these the soda water is sold, like
wise in bottles, and it is directed that both
soda water and sirup shall be kept in the
ice box
To make soda water at home "equal to
that drawn from the fountains the fol
lowing directions are given:
''Set out the required number of glasses,
and in each pour about three tablespoon
fuls Of strip, adding an equal amount of
cream, if desired. Then open one or more
bottles of plain soda, which has been kept
for several hours previously on ice, and
half fill each glass with it, stirring thor
oughly with a spoon. Finally fill the
glasses with the soda water, stirring it for
a moment and drink
Among the strips sold thus bottled are
lemon, vanilla, strawberry, raspberry, pine
apple, apricot. orgeat, French current, nee
tar, sarsaparilla, malta, red orange. maple
ginger, Concord grape. peach, blackberry,
ounce coffee and chocolate. The price is
81 bottle or $40 dozen. Milk punch and
eggnog are put up in the same shape for
S1.50 bottle or SIG q dozen. The bottled
soda water costs s1.225 dozen pints.-

The Oldest Known Inscription,

In the palace of the Louvre, Paris, in that
position set apart for Hebrew antiquities
may be seen the famous ''Pillar of King
Mesa" 1t is fashioned from pure black
basalt, measures 40 inches in height, 90 in
width and IA inches in thickness. For $500
years this famous historical "stela' re-
manned in one position in the country of
the Moabites," on the shores of the Dead
sea, at the spot, as is supposed, where the
frontier of their territory joined with that
of the tribe of Reuben. 1t bears upon its
faces the very Oldest inscriptions that have
yet been deciphered, characters, words and
sentences that were ''graved thereon" at
time contemporaneous with the Bible, 800
years before the birth of the Saviour.
One remarkable thing in connection with
this antique pillar and its history is the
fact that it was not buried in the sands, as
most well preserved ancient relics have
been. but remained standing erect in the
full light of the day for twenty-eight CEN
turtles. The first news Of the whereabouts
of this ancient pillar was communicated
to M. Clermont- Ganneau, one of the French
consuls at Jerusalem, in 1870. The great
historical value of the find may be judged
from the fact that many of the inscrip-
tions supply facts that have been wholly
omitted from the Biblical accounts of the
wars between King Mesa and the Israel
ites.-St. Louis Republic.
