Chris. Evans, the cowardly muir
derer, surrendered to Sheriff Kay at
Visalia last Monday and is now In
the State prison at Folsom, His last
act shows that he is sandless blow
hard. He often declared that he
would never be taken alive, yet he
souawked when he found himself i'll
hole. When he chad the drop
on anybody he was terribly bold, but
when it came to give and take, man
fashion, he got behind Il rock. He
should never have seen the inside OF
a Jail.
The old project to invoke Govern
ment aid to explore the Comstock to
depth of 5000 feet in being re-
vived 1t is a proper scheme. A
few million dollars cannot be better
employed. The Comstock saved the
Government; row let the latter re
suscitate the old lode. There are
millions remaining III 1t and the
country needs all, But the short
sighted things who now manipulate
the political apparatus must be tired
before the proposition can be hope
fully di cussed.

Rare Endowment.

Rev. VIM. H. Movers delivered most
entertaining lecture, at the Christian
Church, Friday evening. His subject
was Madagascar. He told with thrilling
eloquence the awful condition of NADIA
gascar less than century ago, and OF
the subsequent work of the missionaries,
who continued faithful to their noble
purposes in spite of disease, persecution
and massacre. Then he showed the
wonderful triumphs of Christianity as
exemplified in the moral, material and
political progress of the people. His
lecture is made doubly interesting by
the use of a splendid double streopticon.
The listener feels himself personally
present on the scene of which the lee.
turer is speaking. In addition to these
views of travel, Rev. Mevers exhibited
a number of miscellaneous views OF
wonderful merit. He will preach in the
Christian Church, Friday and Saturday
evenings, and Sunday, morning and
evening. He will deliver lecture one
evening next week on Palestine. Nc
one should think of missing such trea
at the small admission of fifteen cents.

is particularly interested in volunteer
pumpkin vine growing in his back yard.
Adjoining his establishment is that of
a grocer, who slipped over and fastened
few pears on the vine by means of
wire nails. The owner of the vine soon
discovered the young pumpkins, and
with proud and excited air called all
his neighbors in and pointed to the fruit

the secret, pulled off one of the young
pumpkins and displayed the wire con-
nections. And now, Brother Hirsch
never says pumpkin. But he does say
other things when the matter is men
