Had Nothing 10 Contributc.

When Lincoln was practicing in the
old Sangamon County courthouse, in
the days OF old-fashioned slat settees,
a tall, slim lawyer, noted for wearing
a very short coat, slid along on the
seat to be nearer the advocate address
ing the jury. A protruding nail tore
the seat OF the lawyers pa~ntaloons.
Obliged to follow his opponent imme-
diately, there was no time TO sew up
the rent in the garment. A legal wag
present wrote a subscription paper:
We, the undersigned, agree to pay
the sums set opposite TO our several
names for the purpose OF purchasing
Brother Brown a new pair Of panta-
LOOMS" Several of the lawyers put
down sums ranging from fifty cents to
ten cents. The paper was presented
to Lincoln, who sat opposite the rear
Of the advocate, who, bending I've in
gesticulation, made quite an exposure.
Lincoln took out his pencil, and wrote
upon the papor; al have nothing to
contribute to the end in view" The
lawyers roared with laughter the judge
asked to see the paper, when he, too,
in turn, had to roar. All this time the
unconscious victim OF the fun was ig-
norant of the cause of the laughter,
and at last joined in the merriment.

A Mistake e.

A beautiful young lady tripped into
Doctor Hatcbett's drug store a few
days ago. and told young Mr.. Speight,
who presides there, that she wished
some c~astor-oil, and asked him ii he
could mix it up SO as to disguise the
taste Of it. "Oh, yes." says Speight.
Presently speight said: "Will you
have a glass of soda water, Miss
--?" "Oh, yes" says she.
After drinking the soda-water the
young lady waited a while. and then
asked Speisht if the castor.oil was
ready. "Ohl" says Speight, "you
have already taken the castor-oil in
the soda-water." "Great heavings!"
said the young lady:"I wanted the
oil for my mother. Fort Gaines Tri-

Queer

Charlie Ross, a young man who
came to Nevada City from the State
OF Washington about two months ago,
met with a peculiar accident recently.
says the Nevada City Transcript. He
was seated in q chair in the billiard
room in the Union Hotel watching a
game. when SUDDENLY an explosion oc-
Cured which sounded like the report
OF a pistol. Ross felt something strike
him in the right hand, and supposed
that somebody had shot him. A
moment later he discovered that his
vest pocket OH the right side had been
blown completely out. Ross then
quickly OWNED the cause OF the ex-
plosion to be a giant powder cap of
large size, which he had been carry
ing in his pocket for about seven
months. 1t is probable that a match
or wooden toothpick came in contact
with the covering of the Eliminating
inside the cap, and by some movement
Of the body vas forced against it hard
enough to cause it to explode.
Ross received quite a painful wound
in the back OF the hand, between the
thumb and iorefinger. Strange to SAY,
his body was not hurt in the least.
Over q dozen small pieces of copper
from the cap picked out of his
hand. Caps OF this kind are poor
trinkets to carry in ones pocket.

Oh Was Ever Thnsn

A correspondent Of the White Pine
News, writing from Hamilton, contri-
butes the following to that paper:
Our Spring term Of Court was held
here last week, Chief Justice Bush
presiding. There was but one case on
the calendar and that was for assault
and battery alleged to have been COM
mitted by one Tognetti upon Cavilli at
Pancake Mountain. James o. Doyle
appeared as counsel for the defendant
and after getting the cas well under
way, surprised the Court and people
by asking a stay of proceedings as he
felt very strangely a sort OF goneness ;
and that he never felt SO before and
that he was sure he would never feel
so again ii the Court would grant his
request and allow his client time to
get additional help. The Court very
impressively informed him hat his
client should have an impartial trial
and that In any event that simple JUS
tice only would be melted out. Attor-
ney Doyle replied in a very impressive
name that justice vas what he
feared, and in his weakened state sank
back exhausted. The Court fully
realized the situation and with COM
mendable sympathy adjourned the
case until Saturday last, at which time
District Attorney Peter Breen from
Eureka appeared for the defendant,
and, after a short trial before a jury Of
ten, secured a verdict OF acquittal. II
is thought that it was Mr.. Doyle's
mustache that caused his weakness
and. in confederation, will state that it
has entirely disappeared since the trial
and it is believed now that he will
fully recover, but never to resume the
practice OF law.

We hear that an application has

Assessment, WORK for 1891.

The desire OF many miners that the
provisions Of the law suspending as
sessment work for 1893 be extended "a
1894 meets with a great deal OF oppo'
sition in Congress. True, no test oil
sentiment has yet been made, but it is
a fact that when the bill for 1898 was
proposed it also included 1894. This
proposition encountered much objec.
ton, and, to save the bill, Congress
man Bell, Of Colorado, went before
the House Committee and consented
TO an amendment striking out 1894.
In this shape the measure became a
law I; otherwise, it was certain to be
defeated.
1t cannot be said that the miners Of
the gold States take a great deal Of in
terest in the measure at least they
do not by any means consider ii vital
TO their welfare. In the silver States
the matter is regarded quite differ
emily. II it we're possible to exempt
the silver mines only, there would be
no great objection to suspending the
provisions OF law in their favor alone /;
but it is not. II any mines for precious
metals are favored, all must, in the
nature Of things, be included. What

able that a bill for 1894, containing
exactly the same provisions as last
years law, can be passed by this Con-
gress but il ought to be done at the
present session before any assessment
work is done and while all have a
chance to secure its Notwithstanding

Hurled Alive.

A Sioux City, Iowa, dispatch of
April IL says: A few days ago the
fifteen-year-old daughter OF j. Luckish
OF Bresco had a tooth pulled while
under the influence OF an anasthetic.
The next morning she was found dead
in bed. The following day she was
buried. Two or three days later some
friends Of the family who feared that
she had been buried too soon. secured
the permission OF the parents to have
the grave opened, and then it was
found that the girl had been buried
alive. The glass Of the coffin was
broken to fragments. The body was
fearfully c~ontorted, the hands cut and
bloodstained, and the hair torn out.
The girl had turned ovef and the body
lay face downward.

The Ex-Chnmpion's Opiaios.

John l.. Sullivan gives the following
as his opinion regarding the coming
fistic contest which it is supposed will
take place between Coz bett and jack
son in June next: | do not believe the
winner, be he Corbett or Jackson, will
have an easy time Of it. Far from it.
The battle, in my opinion, will be q
hard, scientific one from start to finish
and OF about 90 to 80 rounds duration.
Jackson knows full well that the
younger man can outstay him and will
endeavor to force the pace. Corbett
will meet HIM when compelled TO do
so, but will not. in my opinion, " mix
it," as he did with Mitchell at the Ego
in" He will play general" and en-
deavor to win without serious injury
to himself. When his antagonist is
weak OF winded he will "mix it,;
then and not before. Jackson may
fool him at that. However, | think
not, and as an American | hope not.

Nicolay's article on Lincoln in the
current number of the Century shows
that the President had only one year
OF schooling all told. He learned
grammar while reading law, and made
a brave effort to master the element OF
Euclid after he had been elected to
Congress. His knowledge Of grammar
and rhetoric. small as it was. seems to
have been adequate for the compost
ton OF perfect English, as his Gettys-
burg address proves him to have been
the greatest orator OF which time
