A Sequel.

In our last issue we chronicled
the result Of a fishing excursion
by our friend Smith. We now
learn that the half has never
been told and that the balance
of the party consisted of the three
Eds, Green, Breen and Yang
niaux, Two of these Eds also
joined in the fishing excursion
and thought to meander the
stream for suckers. Our special
reporter informs us that the two
boys got into a discussion over
the reason the fish would not
bite, and either to ascertain if the
temperature of the water had
anything to do with it or to hold
a consultation with the finny
tribe, they fell into the creek.
For the present they have given
up searching into the hidden
mysteries of the fish; but this
much they do say. 1T is no
fun to to walk several miles to
camp with wet clothes and then
with the thermometer going down
to freezing, try to cook bread
for a midnight meal. Ed says
that the evenings are remarkably
cold on Salmon river, but if he
only had had that calf and rope
he could find no trouble in keep
ing warm. At the same time he
don't approve of fishing without
a line, or fastening one end of
a lariat about his neck when he
wants to catch risky calf,

Greene VS. Petersen

On Monday morning the case
of A. D, Greene ys Matt Petersen
was called In Justice Robbins
court at Cottonwood. Owing to
the lack of Deputy Sheriff or
Constable in this district the
court adjourned until Wednesday
at 10 A. M, in order to summons
a jury.
| On Wednesday the court was
called and the jury empaneled.
The case was one in which A. d.
Greene as plaintiff sues Matt
Petersen as defendant for dam
ages to the amount OF $4,000
for tearing down q certain fence
and removing the same and al
lowing plaintiffs stock to go at
large and his pasture to be eaten
out by stock. The defence set
up that the fence was purchased
of Mr.. Greene and removed by
his consent. After an all-day
examination OF witnesses the
jury brought in verdict giving
the plaintiff $1.O0 damages and
taxing costs to the defendant.

FLOWERS OF THE NIGHT,

 Insects.

Peculiarly Adapted to Attract Winged
 Insects
 As we all know, there are day-bloom- ing and night-blooming flowers, says the Cornhill Magazine. The former lay themselves out for the fertilizing visits of bees and butterflies; they are generally decked in red, blue, yell low or purple, and have often lines, spots or markings on their petals which point to the nectaries and so act as honey guides. The night-blooming flowers, on the other hand, lay them selves out for the visits of moths or other crepuscular insects, and therefore have recourse to something like the tactics of the fref1ies and the glow-worms. They are usually pure white and the petals are often of such peculiar tex ture that they seem to glow with in- ternal light in the dim shades of even ing. At times one might almost fancy they were stained by nature with some curious forerunner of luminous paint, so strongly do they reflect every invisible ray of the faint twilight. They thus succeed in catching the eyes of moths, which, of course, are es- pecially modified for receiving and per

THE AUTHOR OF "sPARTAcUS."
Composed by Elijah Kellogg When Stu H dent at Andover.

Composed by Elijah Kellogg When Stu +' dent at Andover.
 Talking with correspondent of the Boston Herald Rev Elijah Kellogg, of Harpswell, Me-, thus described how he wrote that favorite declamation of school boys: "Spartacus to the Gladia- tors'':
 Ut was while I was at Andover," !" said he, smiling as the remembrance of the event came back to h1m. We were required to prepare speeches for our rhetorical exercises. and after each man had spoken he was subjected to criticisms by his fellows-and their comments weren't always so compli- mentary as they were pointed. Then the professor would follow with seri- ous criticism, and he always found faults that needed correcting.
 ''So these speeches came to be looked upon with dread, and at last made up my mind that I'd try to get something so different from anything we had had and so interesting that it would hold their attention too closely for them to think about points on which to criti- else me, and so would get off free.
 ''Wel, wrote 'Spartacus.' When began it worked just as I had ex- pected. They were so taken by sur prise that they never thought of any thing but the speech. You could have heard pin drop at any time while I was speaking, and they did not recover until I had finished and had come down to ask for criticism.
 ''Then when Prof. Payne turned to the students and inquired: What criticism have you to offer, young gen tlemen?' there wasn't one of them had word to say, for they were all think ing of the piece and hadn't noticed anything else.
 'Gentlemen,' said the professor, we are not here for theological dis quisitions nor for learned arguments, but these exercises are purely rhetor- <ical, and, gentlemen, that is rhetoric
 "Then, turning to me, he remarked; T could criticise you, Kellogg, but don't know whether it would do you more good or harm, and so, on the whole, think will say nothing'
 "So,'' added the old gentleman, with chuckle, T escaped criticism"

CHRISTOPHER EVANS EXIT


 Thatgodly man, Christopher Evans, is again abroad in the land. As potent to unbar jail doors and clear the way for liberty as were the prayers Of Paul and Barnabas was the little pistol which Jailor Scott of Fresno permitted to be carried by stranger within the jail doors. This oversight of the jailor was perhaps one of the ways by which Prov idenee rights the wrongs of the op- pressed.
 But whether or not Providence had anything to do with it, the bandit is outside the jail walls, and work which cost three lives and thousands of dollars goes for nothing, unless, perhaps, it furnish the ground work for another act of Miss Evans stirring melodrama, "Evana and Sontag."
 The story of the escape is one of the most interesting imaginable. The seeming purpose of the bandit to steal the major part of Fresno's population and take it out into the wilderness with him IS almost without parallel in the record of jail deliveries. What he wanted to do with his captives is uncer- tain, but it can be presumed that he in- tended to found colony in more salu- brious and moral climate than that which surrounds Fresno. Had he suc- eeeded in getting away with respect able number of citizens he would prob ably have returned later for the jail in which to lock up the horde of detectives who will follow him at a safe distance.
 An incident of the escape illustrates 6 peculiarity of that town frequently adverted to in press dispatches. A city marshal was shot by the outgoing bandit, but the marshal had reason to believe that his assailant was Evans, from the fact that he recognized him. Otherwise he would have supposed that in the pur- suit of his avocation he had encoun- tered the regular and ordinary foot-pad, to meet whom on the streets of Fresno is about as stirring and unusual an in- cldent as common salutation by pass ing acquaintances on the streets of other towns.
 It must be matter of regret to some of the citizens of Fresno that MT. Evans did not succeed in car rying some other citizens away with him.

AGRICULTURE ABROAD.

THE vintage in Italy was more or less damaged, owing to the presence of peronospora, a fungus that settles on the vine leaves and eventually de- stroys them.
 THE total net profits from 192 acres of the German Crown vineyards. on the Rhine, have averaged $19, $50 over a period of twenty-four years, or $1o2. 24 per acre per annum.
 HORSE breeding for the Indian mar ket is not now being carried on with much attention in Australia, and the class of animals shipped to India is not as desirable as formerly.
 AGRICULTURE is being developed along the Amazon valley, and at differ ent points new commercial centers are springing up, and those previously ex- isting are growing in population and wealth.

ceiving the slender stimulus of dusk and the gloaming.
 But the nocturnal flowers have no lines or spots, because these last could never be perceived in the gray gloom of evening. They make up for it, how ever, by being heavily yiscented; indeed, almost all the strong white flowers, like jessamine, tuberose, gardenia, stephanotis, cereus and syringa, which are such favorites with florists, belong to night-blooming plants, specially adapted to attract the eyes and noses of night-fying insects.
