WIT AT THE CIRCUS.
Two Examples of Side-Bar Remarks
from the Boxes.

From the Boxes.
AS neat thing as has been got OH
about the Circus Maximus, was the
grimly witty remark of an Irishman on
one of the upper tiers on Thursday night.
With friend he had watched the dra-
matically tragic scenes in the arena for
long time, and followed the slaves with
sympathetic eye as the dead were ever
and anon picked up by the sable servi-
tors and packed off. When. at last. after
the slain had become too numerous TO
count, and the final contest between the
two gladiators ended with the fall of both,
while the blood gushed from their
wounds, Barney remarked, with sigh,
to his friend:
rs it George Clark over there that's
the Imperor?"
Its him, sure" answered Michael.

Not so happy a wit, but better punster
was we'll known society woman who
looked on last night with occasional
bursts OF admiration for the splendidly
acted scene under the management of
"Magister" Pierson, the well-known
civil engineer.
Finally the Magister left the arena and
took up position, with his staff of auhor-
lty borne before him, in one of the boxes
overlooking the arena, as the mounted
sword combat proceeded. The escort of
the lady lnnocently asked her:
why does Mr.. Pierson go up there
and leave the ring, Miss X-?"
"Can'tyou see?" quickly answered the
fair punster. "The better to survey the

Three Good Strokes.

An eminent New York divine, in the
course of an address at a fraternity din
ner recently, told this story Said he
Il met Brooklyn friend of mine a few
days ago, and as he appeared to be feel
ing in an unusually exuberant frame OF
mind, asked him why. He replied that
he was happy because he had done three
good actions the day before. He had
met poor woman on the street. The
woman held q sickly looking child in her
arms, and she was weeping. INQUIRY
showed that she was weeping because
she was convinced that her child was dv-
ing, and unbaptized.
"'But,' said the Brooklyn man, WHY
do you not have the child baptized p
"'Because / have no money, and the
fee for baptism is one dollar said the
woman.
"Whereupon the good Samaritan
handed the woman a $40 bill. gave her his
address, so she could bring back the
change which she did return-and went
his way.
"That is one good action said the
doctor. Now for the other two.'
".Oh,' observed the Brooklyn man,
they are all three in that one. First, l
relieved the sorrows of a weeping
woman; second, assured the child OF
eternal salvation; and third Here he
hesitated.
".Yes?' said the doctor. What was
the third?'
well said the Brooklyn man, the
third was that / got rid of that vile
counterfeit ten-dollar bill / had been

SUPREME COURT DECISIONS
A Street Assessment Case-The Righ
of Appeal Must Not be Abused.

A Street Assessment Case-The Right
of Appeal Must Not be Abused.
The Supreme Court has rendered de-
cision in the case of T. A. Gill respond
ent) VS.. S. Dunham and the Stockton
Savings Bank (appellants).
The action was to foreclose lien for
street assessment in the city of Stockton.
The plaintiff had judgment, from which
and from an order denying new trial
the defendants appealed. The defendants
demurred to the complaint, partly on the
ground that the plaintiff assigned his
claim to one msbottom, and that the
re-assignment of it to him by Ramsbot-
tom is not properly shown in the COM
plant; also, that although the resolution
of intention to improve the street was
published in the Stockton DAILY Inde-
pendent, it was not posted according to
law.
The court holds that the re-assignment
was sufficient, and that when the resolu-
ton was published in the daily paper
posting was unnecessary.
The next objection was that the work
done was not Identical with the specifca-
tions, and that the plans and specitica-
tions were not prepared under the direc-
ton of the City Council or authenticated
by the Surveyor; but the court holds diff
ferently on the latter points, and says
there was a substantial compliance with
the specifications, which is sufficient. The
lot was assessed to an unknown owner,
but it is not denied that Dunham was and
is the owner of it, and the Identification
is sufficient without his name being in
serted,
The judgment and order appealed from
are confirmed.
The court has also decided the case of
Duncan VS.. Grady ct al.
lt was motion to dismiss an appeal
because of the failure of defendants to
file a transcript within the time pre-
scribed by a rule of the court, and for
damages.
No transcript of appeal was ever filed
and at the time of giving notice of motion
to dismiss the plaintiff gave notice that he
would ask for damages. An affidavit
shows that the defendant Grady, who
was attorney for himself and the other
defendants, wanted plaintiff to take a
chattel mortgage for the amount of the
judgment, telling him the judgment
would bear only per cent. and he would
appeal it and keep him out of the money
tor year. The affidavit also states that
none of the defendants ever pretended
to have any defense and that the appeal
was only for the purpose of delay.
The court holds that ordinarily the in
terest would be sufficient compensation
to the plaintiff. but as defendants had
abused the right of appeal and attempted
to Wrest the law from its true object and
use it for purpose which was never in
tended, it dismissed the appeal and gave
judgment for respondents for S100 dam
ages and costs.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $40
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re-
Gently purchased twelve thousand Gcres of
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from first
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from SO to $40 per acre. in subdivisions of
40, 80, 12O, 16O and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold in
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment Of
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the prin-
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in
terest at the rate of per cent. per annum
making payments extending over a period of
eight years., Intending purchasers are as
sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an acre,
with other grades Of land at prices to CORE
spond between these figures
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands suitable for general farming, and es-
! pecially adapted for fruitrgrowing cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
/ 500 an acre. An examination of the land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
homeseekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase of good agricultural land at $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre. on termk Of
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy of
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase Of this
body of land was the breaking I'D OF q Iaroe
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
Element in smaller quantities and its devotion
to diligent husbandry.
