The Latest Christmas Cards.

He had been her STEADY company for
about three years, says the Chicago
Times Herald, and she was beginning to
feel some anxiety, inasmuch as her other
half-hearted suitors had come to accept it
as foregone conclusion that they were
engaged. Furthermore, tiny "crow's feet"
were appearing about her eyes, the gas
bills were larger than they should be, and
last, but not least, she was a determined
young woman and wanted to know just
where she stood.
So it happened that when this tardy lover
appeared as usual at the pretty home on
Ellis avenue not far from the university
the object of his alteration met him with
profuse smiles and showed him more than
usual attention. She escorted him into
the dainty parlor, carefully flecking some
dust from the collar of his coat mean
while. AS soon as he was comfortably
seated and she had brought him a little
ash receiver and granted him permission
to smoke, she seated herself in close prox-
unity to him and looked at him intently.
Now the object of these attentions was
not unmindful of his duty in the case, and
ne repaid them with a look of admiration
and the remark Say, Nettie, you're a
treasure"
DO you really think so?'
why certainly. You're the only girl"
ooh, Joe, this is so sudden"
1t was rather sudden, ana Joe took a
second look at her to see if she showed any
traces of losing her mind, but she rat

better than anyone else for long time.
and you have made me happy

"And you needn't mind saying anything
to papa about it, for ne likes you and
knows we will be married."
But wait a minute, Nettie, l.
And now, you dear old goose, that this
part of it has been settled, 1 suppose
can have something to say about when it
shall take place. l think it would be just
lovely to get married on Christmas day
Oh you dear old fellow, how very very
happy you have made me. You would
just as soon make it Christmas, wouldn't
you? Say yes, say it," and she fell upon
him and so nearly smothered him with
kisses that he could not say anything.
And the cards are out for Christmas,

DEATH OF JOHN COFFEY.
Judge j. v. Coffey's Brother Buried
Sacramento.

Judge j. v. Coffey's Brother Buried at
Sacramento.
The funeral of the late John Coffey took
place in Sacramento on Sunday from St.
Francis Church, where services were held
by Father Augustine, a large number of
relatives and friends being present. The
floral offerings We're very beautiful.
The RecoldUnion says: John Coffey left
New York when boy for the West in 1S49
and reached California by way of New
Orleans. He first engaged in mining in
Sierra County, where he was associated
with John w. Mackay for some time Mr..
Coffey was we'll known in every one of the
S Sierra camps as man of enterprise and
restless energy and of courage very fre-
quently put TO a successful test in the ad-
venturous early days; a good and faithful
friend, but not inyeterate in enmity. He
was pioneer in the true sense. He was
among the first prospectors in the Washoe
country, going to Nevada before it was
organized as Territory. He was one of
the treasure-seekers at Frazer River and
later sought fortune in Cariboo, and was
foremost in the settlement of Idaho, where
for twenty-five years he was in charge of
important mill and mining properties.
The last twenty years OF his life he spent
in California, and he died in Sacramento,
which forty-four years ago was his starting
point. He left a widow and two sons,
jeremiah Y. and Edward l. Coffey. His
only surviving brother is Judge Coffey of
San Francisco.

The laws of electrical

time was his own. The laws of electrical
conduction or resistance, now so familiar,
were not even suspected. Who could pre-
dict that the lightning would obey anyjaw2
Besides, he had produced tremendous
shocks with his Leyden jars in series, and
had killed birds with them. More than
that, he had been terribly shocked himself
by the same means-stunned into insensi-
bility and nearly killed. He had said
again and again that an electric shock, if
strong enough would blot out life, though
without pang. If his idea was correct.
If his conviction was true, he was now
about to face an electric discharge beside
which that OF the most powerful OF man
made batteries would seem weak and in
significant.
All the world knows what happened.
The kite scared up into the black cloud,
while the philosopher stood calmly in tee
drechlng rain watching the string, until
finally he saw the little fbers OF the hemp
raise themselves. Then without tremor
he touched his knuckle to the key-and
| lived. For the spark cracked and lesped
to his finger as harmlessly as did that
from his own familiar electrical machine,
and allowed him to charge his jars with
the same impunity.
He sent the story of what ne had done
abroad, without particle of trumpeting.
He was not discoverer for revenue. No
stock market awaited the announcement
of his claims; no newspaper stood ready to
blaze forth his achievement in the interest
of the money jugglers. His own narrG-
tive barely fills one of the little columns
of the Gentleman's Magazine for October
49, 1852, and it has at it's, end only the
initials B. F.-Cassier's Magazine.

a letter was received in this city to-day
from Mrs. J. F. ood, wife of the man who
was suspected at first of knowing more of
Miss Parker's disappearance than he cared

december Augustine, while driving up
Santa Clara avenue with his wagon, was
run into from behind by an electric car
and, besides having received several con-
tusions about the head, had his wagon
completely demolished. The electric rail
way company, thinking it to be to blame
IN the matter, volunteered at first to pay
the expense of repairing the wagon and
sent it to Costier e. Picot's shop. Later
the company learned that Augustine was
to blame for his accident and refused to
pay the cost OF repairs. Augustine, after
recovering from his wounds, made de-
mand on the carriage e-makers for his vehl-
Gle, put when presented with bill for
storage and safekeeping, he demurred, ar
guing that he did not contract it. Being
met with refusal to deliver up the goods,
Augustine now seeks to recover.

Day afternoon, but he only had 81 and he
knew that 1T took two of them to procure

tried to collect back bills, but without sue

aged to scrape up the other dollar. But,
alas, it was too late. The County Clerk S
office in Oakland was closed. Sims would
have to wait until Monday morning at 8
clock. Saturday was a holiday and Sun
day he could not dream of. He felt very
much chagrined over this state of affairs,
but had to be. content to wait until to-day,
when he had the uniting ceremony per-
formed by Rev. Mr.. Jordan of the Baptist
Church, who charged nothing for his
services.
