RENTED THE FINES.

His Honor Didn't Want to Refuse =
Friend Favor.
Thomas F. Marshall, q nephew Of
Chief Justice Marshall, was in his day
one OF the most eloquent of kentucky
orators. He was famous also for his
brilliancy and quickness at repartee,
so that many stories in which he figures
are still current. One such is related
by Henry NJ. Rowley, in a sketch print
ed in the Southern Historical Society
Papers"
Mr.. Marshall was defending q man
charged with murder. The adverse
testimony was strong, and Marshall
was hard put to it, especially as Judge
Lusk seemed determined to rule
against him. Finally, greatly excited
by some ruling of the judge, Marshall
exclaimed:
'Our Savior was convicted upon just
such rulings"
1t was now Judge Luslz's to be indig-
nant.
Clerk" said he, center fine of ten
dollars against Mr.. Marshall"
''Well, this is the first time 1 ever
heard of anybody being fined for abus-
AhS l. OhOluS lIdIc, was N1dTSRdll s
response.
Clerk" said the judge, center an
other fine of twenty dollars against
Mr. Marshall"
Marshall rose at once, and with an
inimitable expression upon his face,
Remarked:
eff your honor pleases, as a good
citizen feel bound to obey the order
of this court, and intend to do so in
this instance; but Us don't happen to
have thirty dollars about me, shall
be compelled to borrow it from some
friend, and as I see no one present
whose confidence and friendship have
so long enjoyed as your honor's, make
no hesitation in asking the small favor
of loan for 4 few days, to square up
the amount of the fines that you have
caused the clerk to enter against me-"
This was what Dick Swiveller used
to call an ''inscrutable staggerer.
The judge looked at Marshall and then
at the clerk, and finally said:
CLERK, remit Mr.. Marshall's fines;
the state is better able to lose thirty
dollars than 1 am Youths Com
panion.

Vetoed Bills.

Governor Jones has sent three bills
to the Secretary OF States Office with
out his approval. These arc Assem-
bly, bill 80, relating to the locating,
recording and working OF mines,
mineral deposits and for other pur-
poses; Assembly bill 1872, to encourage
the mining industries of the State of
Nevada, and Assembly bill 81, allow:
ing the payment OF taxes i'll semi-an-
nual installments and regulating the
collection of taxes on personal prop.
erty.
The Governors objections to the
first bill are that it makes new and
unusual requirements for locating
lode and placer claims, which are in
consistent with the mining laws of
the United States. He believes "the
other purposes" clause in the bill
means the promotion of endless liti-
cation as it would lead to confusion
and trouble.
To the second bill his objections are
that the bill is ambiguous, unintelli-
gible and uncertain and il approved
it would be ineffective and void.
The objections to the third are that
it is impracticable in its provisions
and would not meet with any favor
from the average taxpayer and would
be declared imperative and void by
the courts. 1t would also conflict
with the revenue laws of the State
and therefore retard the collection of
taxes while resulting i'll no practical
bic benefit to the general taxpayer,
although possibly it might be advan-
tageOus to the wealthicr class, OF
whom, unfortunately, there are but
fcwin Neuada. Therefore, believing
that legislation should afford the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, he withholds his approval of the
bill.

MARRIAGE.

In Germany it is customary for
young couples, when they become en-
gagged, to announce the momentous
event to the world by simple adver-
tisement in the newspapers. Hans
Mcycrand Crete Schmidt are ''verlobt,"
and that is usually the whole story.
a popular Viennese actress, howe yer,
has been moved to infuse not a little
originality into the public announce
ment Of her matrimonial projects. The
notice runs thus: 81 hereby desire to in
form all my friends and'acquaintanccs
that am on the eve of appearing in a
new role, which l have never hitherto
ventured to assume. The play is en-
titled MARRIAGE The part of first

that the fate of the piece will depend.

But Jefferson was too much absorbed

Marseilles Harbor.

This point enjoys the important
position Of being the trst seaport
OF France. Its development is OF
recent date, have been commenced
in 1874 till that period, the natur.
al shelter of the old Harbor had
been alone utilized.
Today artificial methods Of pro-
lection have raised total shelter
ed area of the Harbor to 3lS acres.
Before the adoption of the outer
Breakwater in 1874 the artificial
quarys at this point protected 81
acres.
The growth of the port has been
rapid in the last 30 years. Its &C.
commodation for vessels has been
quadrupled in the last SO years
being twice that Of Havre and only
inferior to London and Liverpool
among the British Ports.
In 1882, S,56S vessels utilized the
artificial basin the total weight of
exports and imports of that year
being 100000 tons. The above
figures give a fair idea of what has
been accomplished by an artificial
Harbor at Marseilles.
When ever the people OF Texas
adopt the outer Harbor plan they
will attract to our Texas Coast the
class of shipping and commerce
that today utilities artificial ports
at Marseilles, Aberdeen, Aldermy,
Toilette, Lazaret, Arauc Basins,
Algeirs. Boulogue, Cera, Port Said
Colombo, Colon, Dover, Wicke
and more than score of other
places where the citizens have
constructed artificial ports.

To Lover of Dogs.

Now as the time is near for the
dog catchers to commence, June
all the true lovers of dogs
60 to the city collector and pays
for license and the cur breeder
commences to make preparations
to keep his ours up in the back
yards until the dog catchers get
through with their work.
Now when last year that the
dog catchers were out for the city
they were very good at laying
around the homes Of good dogs, to
see If they could rope them in.
This is well known to the own
ers Of good dogs in this city,
and IL you went across to the
Mexican quarter OF the city you
could see each and every Mexican
with 3 or 6 worthless ours run
ming at large without being taxes
although | am very glad to state
that after the dog catchers had
been out last year they were able
to kill 722, dogs not taxed and
the collectors reprot shows 2,516
Dogs that license had been paid
for. Now although there have
been 722, killed for not having
license there are still / believe
1900 dogs that have been kept up
while the dog catchers were GO
ing their rounds and after they
stopped hunting for unlicensed
Dogs the streets were,--foQded
again with a lot of worthless curs.'
Although 1 am lover of pure
bred dogs and handle the cur a
little rough it is not because /
don't like him but have no use
for a cur unless he is of some
special good to his master.
think the number killed has
done good toword keeping the city
rid of some good for nothing dogs
and l am in favor next yeae Of
making the dog tax one 500 or
$3.50 per dog instead of 50s
year. II a good dog is wor tn hav-
ing it is nearly worth that amount
to protect it from going to the dog
pound. When the tax is SOC
those who keep ours say to them
selves swell, the dog catcher has
got Topsy poor thing; Iguess I'll
pay SOC rather than see poor Top
sy killed" Now very true, it
saved the life of one OF my best
friends but still Topsy is cur and
let her go to the pound. There
will always be ours but there is
thing as keeping them in less
numbers and that is my reason
for making the taxes $3.50 as they
who keep ours would not care to
pay that amount for a cur unless
he was good for some special pur-
pose, but let him be ever so good
you can always geta pure blooded
dog to do what ever cur can do
and very often more and he does it
better and looks better, and to fin
ish up he is a setter or pointer
or some other well known breed
that you would fancy.

GRADE IIi-LESSON V.
THE WEASEL.

The weasel is a very pretty and very
graceful little creature. 1t makes its
home in hollow trees, in stone heaps, or
in hole in the ground where it can keep
dry and warm.
1t has a long, slender body, long neck,
and little head, with small, round ears,
and bright eyes. 1t is covered with
smooth hair, which is Of a brown color
on its back and pure white below. 1t has
strong claws and very sharp teeth, which
it can use so well that many larger ami
mails live in great fear of it.
The weasel has need to fear but few
enemies; for even birds of prey, which
are always trying to catch rabbits and
other small game, are shy of the little
weasel He is often more than match
fer them.
\ hunter once saw n large hawk, nigh
in the air Tapping its wings as If in great
trouble Then it darted downward and
fell to he earth almost at the hunters
feet, and as it lay there, gasping and dy-
ing. tiny weasel sprang from the heap
of feat hers and ran away to hide itself
in pile of stones near by.
On looking at the bird, the hunter
found that its throat had been torn to
pieces by the weasel. The little creature,
although it was held fast by the hawk 5
claws, had turned itself about until 1t
could reach its enemy's throat, " hen its
sharp teeth soon did their work.
Rats and mice, squirrels. moles, frogs,
and birds OF all kinds are hunted by the
weasel In country places, It may often
he, seen about the fences and barns, where
ii watches for chickens, young turkeys,
AMI OF her fowls. 1t sometimes does more
harm i'll aud about the harnyard than
many rats would do. For this reason
farmers are not usually friendly to the
little animal.

mice as will one tame weasel. Pussy must

til he IS foolish enough to come out. But
the weasel follows the rat into his hole
and catches him AT home.
Weascls are often kept on board OF
ships, and are petted by the sailors; for a
ship with Il weasel upon it is always Tree
from rats. In some farmhouses, also,
wease- are kept instead of cats; but they
must be taught not to harm the chickens
