Republican State Convention.

The Republicans of Nevada held
rather peculiar State convention in
Virginia City last Saturday. One fac
ton was in favor of adopting a plat
form while the other did not care to,
expose their hands to the people OF
the State. The majority favored
platform and committee on resolu-
tons was appointed. This committee
labored earnestly and all but one of
it's members agreed upon a platform
that contained wisby-washy Silver
plank and made no mention of the
funding bill. G. Fl. Colburn, the on
ly member Of the committee that had
the courage Of his convictions, offered
clean cut planks fayorrng the free
coinage Of silver at the ratio Of Is to
l and opposed the funding bill. This
precipltated hot discussion that
ended In victory for Mr.. Colburn on
both propositions. The platform as
finally adopted appears below with
the exception of the plank opposing
the funding bill. This resolution as
published in Sundays Enterprise is
unintellgib1e, hence it's commission
from the following report: ~

was presented by the California Com

they had brought with them from the

grew to any great actual size, but in
the matter Of strength it was a verita-
BILE Orson. After rousing the entire
family one morning by breaking loose
from the post to which it was chained,
laying waste the chicken coop, making
such onslaught upon the horses and
cows in the stable that they were near
ly frightened to death, Mrs. Logan de-
cided it was time to have it killed This
was accordingly accomplished with con-
siderably difficulty, and the animal
was sent to the National Museum to
be stuffed, that institution having re-
fused the bear as gift, alive or dead.
Then Mrs. Logan. thinking to surprise
the family pleasantly by bringing back
the stuffed bear cub in triumph, started
out to the Museum one day. The little
animal had been mounted so as to
stand on it's hind legs, its front paws
clasping firmly a brass waiter in which
guests as they enter Calumet Place now
deposit their cards. This was accord
ing to orders, of course, but at the time
proved decidedly awkward, as it made
the little bear cover too much area to
be gotten into the coupe.

nished the point of the bodice in front,

sleeves were of the green velvet, with
big epaulets of the striped green and
pink weighted with jet. Instead Of a
collar, two fan pleatings of the striped

LETTERS A DOLLAR APIECE,

California Miners Lined Up for the
Mail, and Places Worth $500.
A well-known patent attorney in this
city, who was in California in the early
mining days, apropos the publication in
the Post Of the cost Of carrying mails
on the Yukon, makes some interesting
statements about similar service on the
Pacific coast in 1S49-'50:
ave had to pay 81 for every letter
sent or received" he states, "besides the
government postage. We were in the
mines and had to send q messenger,
with an order for the postmaster to de-
liver to him our mail at Sacramento, q
distance of from IS to 100 miles, acI
cording to the location of the camps.
Parties made business of carrying the
mail and had regular routes around
through the mining camps.
"At that time mail went by way of
the isthmus, there being but one steam
er every three weeks. AS q result, at
San Francisco and at Sacramento, the
two main offices and supply points for
the State, there would be large crowd
waiting every time mail arrived They
finally adopted a rule among themselves
requiring all to form in line and take
their turn, and hundreds stood or laid
in line day and night to keep their
places, sometimes several days before
they could be served, the line being
formed days before the steamer ar
rived. Resident spectators would take
position in the line, and when they had
advanced near the door would sell their
place to others from the mines, who
were waiting, frequently getting from
500 to $500.
'Such a thing can hardly be believed
by those who have never had any such
experience, but in the fall of 1849 an
oX-team driver got $40 per day and
board, Sundays being counted the same
as other days, while carpenters got from
an ounce $16) to an ounce and half
per day, everything else costing in pro-
portion; and hence the mail carriers
for the mines could better afford to pay
for the position in line than to wait Oh
expense and lose the time, they sopie-
times being kept waiting for week
before they could get all their mail for
the several camps.
zone of the curious sights was the
sale of the New York papers. AS soon
as the steamer arrived man or boy
with a lot of papers would rush ashore,
mount box, and just as fast as he
could hand out the papers and make
change dispose of them at a dollar each.
OF course in time all this changed, hut
communication with the States was
then so slow and the time required so
great that to us, isolated as we were
from home and friends and the whole
outside world. it seemed almost an

glnatcl during the early days of the
nrst Cleveland administration, when
one was sent as a gift to the Presidents
bride from abroad. This French poo
die, by the way, turned out to be a
Dutch poodle. At least, having first
seen the light of day in Holland, it
seemed strangely stupid when it first
came to make its home in the White
House. Try as Mrs. Cleveland would,
nothing she could say to the dog had
the slightest effect in making him mind
or inteaching him anything. Finally she
gave 1t up as bad job, and the Presi-
dents valet fell heir to the care of the
poodle until one day, some work being
in progress in the east room of the
White House, a Dutchman wandered
IN and turned and spoke to a companion
in his native tongue. At the sound of
the familiar language the poodle went
almost wild with joy, and the mystery
OF its stupidity was then and there ex-
planned. 1t had simply not understood
one thing that was said to it.
This poodle during the first Cleveland
administration came to have the most
widespread notoriety of any dog that
has ever lived in Washington. 1t gain
ed almost an International notoriety
from the frequency of its abductions
by dog thieves in search of a reward
and its thrilling escapes from it's cap
tors. 1t is now owned by ex-Secretary
and Mrs. Fairchild who keep it at their
home in New York.
NO family that has ever lived in the
White House has had larger or more
varied collection of pets than the Cleve-
lands. These pets have come to them
from every part Of the Union and have
included deer, monkeys, parrots, white
mice, canaries, squirrels and all manner
OF Things that creep, crawl and walk
on two and four legs.
About the only cat Mrs. Cleye-
land has ever possessed was a funny
looking little coon cat that was sent
her by q friend of her mothers in Bos-
ton the year after her marriage. This
cat never allowed Mrs. Cleveland TO
be out of its sight while the latter was
within doors, and because of its great
bushy tail, larger than its body, stand
ing erect as it did, of course attracted
no end OF attention from visitors.
When Oak View was bought during
the Presidents first administration he
laughingly declared that he was
forced to purchase country place in
self defense, as some such place was
necessary to accommodate the live
stock sent him from all parts of the
country. This list even included a fine
