Skulls from the Catacombs.

Among the Philadelphia constituency

chaperoned by DR.. William d. Hastings,
who now prides himself that the winds

through his long whiskers. The party
included, among others, Lewis Z. Belt
Ter, who is Mayor Stuart's right bower,
and William B. Gill, who is the local
head of the Western Union Telegraph

When the Pacific Mail steamer City
Of New York arrived from Panama, j
A. Magee, New York sporting man,
was one of the passengers. When he
got up he forgot nine 800 bills In a
small pocketbook that he had placed
under his pillow the night before, and
when the tug came alongside, while the
steamer was at anchor in the stream, he
made haste TO land No sooner had he
reached the Baldwin hotel than he dis
covered his loss, and hiring coupe
made for the Pacific Mail dock, which
he reached just as the steamer was made
fast. An inquiry for the lost bills
proved that they were safe in Captain
Johnston's hands. All Ping, Chinese
in the stewards department, while max
ing up Magees berth, had found the
bills and taken them to the captain
Magee was handed his money, and
called for All Ping, to whom he gave
twenty-five dollars.
The Chinese had hardly time to appre'
ciate his good luck when Chief Steward
COttrell was angry because the stray
hills had not been given to him TO re-
turn TO the owner, instead of the cap
tain, and ordered that All Ping should
be discharged. Unless the wrathy stew
ard is called down by some of the head
officers of the company All Ping will
have 10 leave the steamer for being
honest. Had he chosen he could easily
have secreted the valuable paper bills so
that no one could have found them and
made away with tho whole sum.-San

CHARGED Corsets.

Now that electricity is being o
and more widely used it is nc longer
safe for a woman to carry her watch
in the place where it has always been
most seeure-in her corsets. A New
York woman a few days ago was going
to pay a visit Of curiosity to an electric
light plant. She was warned that her
watch might be charged with electric
ity, and 30 she did not take it with
her. Her precaution was useless. The
next day the movements OF the watch
were most eccentric. Now it was fast,
now slow, but never right. She asked
her husband, who was an electrician,
what could be the matter with il, and
he soon found that her corset steels
had been charged with electricity dur
ing her visit to the plant. and that next
day, when she placed her watch in its
usual resting place, the charge had
been communicated to its works.

The Inauence Of sne Press.

Probably the time is coming in the
halcyon future when everything that
everybody does will be open and above
board, when there is nothing hidden
that shall not be known, when that
which is spoken in the ear shall be
proclaimed upon the h~ousetops. and
we rather think that the impertinent
press is helping to bring about that
day. The fear Of publicity deters many
a man from doing wrong or delivers
him from the temptation to 60 astray.
Men who seek 10 take unfair advantage
Of their fellow men because Of their
poverty or ignorance or weakness, or
for any other reason, find an obstacle
in the light which the press throws
upon their actions and motions. Indi-
yidual newspapers have their idiosyn-
cracies and other faults, but as q whole
the press believes in right living, hon.
est dealing, truth telling and doing as
you would be done by.-Sprinsield

than has occurred in a long time, ex-
cept during a sitting Of court. Panaca
and Spring, Eagle, Pahranagat. and
Cave Valleys, and al, 0 the Wash, we're

Deputy Harrison in the County Re-
corder's Office has been busy for some
time past with mining locations and
transfers from Yellow Pine District.
His biggest item was two patches Of
location notices which occupy ffty.fiy
pages Of the location record book.
The general stagnation Of business
felt in town here, extends all over the
county, and even the cattlemen shake
their heads obviously when asked what
the future for us is to be, though they
are presumed to be more independent
Of our chief industry than any other
class.
Already a material part Of our popu-
lation has journeyed out toward the
great Fair. and many more talk of CO.
ing shortly. The question arises, shall
we let them all 20 at once, or insist on
enough remaining to keep guard over
the town?

Origin OF

1.-THE English are very fond Of the
curious game Of billiards, and a letter
has been discovered in the British Mu-
scum which gives the origin of the ma
tional sport. 1t was invented by q
London pewnbroker, whose name was
William Kew. Kew not only lent
money but he sold cloth, and for the
latter purpose had a yard measure with
which he used to compute the amounts.
One day to distract himself he took the
three round balls which are the en-
blems OF his trade-they may still he
seen in front Of certain shops in Lon
don-and, placing them on his coun.
ter, began to hit them about with a
yard measure. He found it made a
pretty game. He got kind of skill in
making one ball glance off the other,
and his friends who saw him thus en-
ployed called the game Bills yard. 1t
was soon shortened into billiards. But
the yard was the instrument with which
the balls were knocked about, and the
difficulty arose what to call il. They
called it after the name Of the pawn
brokers' Kew."-English Paper.
