ADJUSTMENTS.

The best first night house Of the en-
gagement of the vis-Moulton Com
pany greeted it at the Clunie Opera
house last evening. Evidently the thea
ter going public has at last awakened
to the fact that this troupes first nights
are as good as any subsequent ones as
to performance, since the company is
playing a repertoire with which it is
perfectly familiar. The play was the
rafting farce comedy, or rather low
comedy, Turned Up" which Nat Good
win has made famous Mr.. Moulton was
the Caraway Bones of the comedy, and
Miss Harrington the widow who was not
a widow, and whose maritime husband
was personated by Mr.. Sellery capitally.
In that part he sang baritone solo and
won warmly deserved applause for it,
These two, Mr.. Sellery and Miss Har-
rington, were all that the exacting could
ask for in the parts, but the roaring fun
Of the piece was cyclonic about Moul-
tens Bones, which he made the most
absurd and rfdiculously funny charac-
ter imaginable. In that part he sang a
topical song, parody on Sweet Marie"
that took immensely and will be heard
on the street before the week Is out
Miss Myra Davis as Sabina left nothing
wanting in her part. In one scene she
does as clever a bit of work as is ever
seen in comedy. Mr.. Lonergan was the
unhappy George Medway, who was
made half insane by the endeavor to
ascertain just what his relationship to
his several parents was, and the very
absurd part he made the most Of Miss
Stuart was charming as Ada Baltic,
and was gowned 50 tastefully and richly
as to win complimentary remarks from
the ladies in the audience and the ad-
miration of the men for her taste. Fan
ny Yantes' Cleopatra was as clever
bit of eccentric character acting in black
face as one might wish to see. The play
took excellently, was warmly applauded
and served to keep the risibilities of the
audience ait the highest pitch of exalta-
ton of merriment the entire evening.
The same comedy will be played to-

BIRDS THAT PERCH ON WAVES.
Their Ocean Journeyings Described
by Edwin Arnold.

Sir Edwin Arnold, in an account OF
his voyage to America, which appears
in the London Daily Telegraph" says:
Every day we see playing round the
ship and skimming up and down the
wave-hollows companies of lovely little
terms and sea swallows, the latter no
larger than thrushes. These fearless peo-
pie of the waste have not by any means
followed us from the land, living, as
gulls often will, on the waste thrown
from the vessel.
'"They are vague and casual roamers
of the ocean, which, spying the great
steamship from afar, have sailed close
up, to see if we are a rock or an island,
and win then skip away again on their
own free and boundless business. Yon-
der tiny bird, with purple and green
plumage, his little breast and neck
laced with silver, is distant 1000 miles
at this moment from drop of fresh
water, and yet cares no more for that
fact than did the Irish squire who lived
twelve miles from a lemon.
eff his wings ever grow weary, 1t is
but to settle on the bosom of a great
billow and suffer it for a time tOrock and
roll him amid the kissing Spindrift, the
milky, flying foam and the broken sea-
lace which forms and CLEANS and dfsap-
pears again upon the dark slopes. When
he pleases, a stroke of the small foot
and beat of the wonderful wing launch
him off the jagged edge of his billow,
and he fits past Us at 100 knots an hour,
laughing steam and canvass to scorn,
and steering for some nameless crag in
Labrador or Fundy, or bound, it may
be, homeward for some island or marsh
of the faraway Irish coast.
"Marvelously expressive of power as
is our untiring engine, which all dag
and night throbs and pants and pulses
in noisy rhythm under the deck, what
a clumsy, imperfect affair it is COM
pared to the dainty plumes and deli
cate muscles which will carry that
pretty, fearless sea swallow back to his

AN old colored man on my place
down in Texas" said Captain Dick
Ayres of the Lone Star State at the
Metropolitan, was explaining the silver
question to a lot of his Senegambian
collea gues not long since.
It's jes' dis way said Uncle Eph-
rain. Dis yere Is to 1 bizness is pow

you kin git sixteen silver dollars fur

dat de silver dollars am wuf only fifty
cents but even at dat you comes out
SS ahead eve'y time you changes a gold
dollar fur a silver one
"Old Ephraim's hearers listened with
some incredulity to this explanation and
one of them appealed to me to know if
the old man was stating facts. Not
wishing to injure the patriarchs repu-
tation for financial sagacity 1 refused

Marysville Appeal: Large pictures

ELEVENTH TIME.
Ca1averas Chronicle: For the eleventh
time the representatives of the Republic
can party have assembled in National
Convention, formulated a platform of
principles and nominated a Presidential
ticket. There are no new departures
in the platform, 1t Is merely a reiteration
of the doctrines which have been fol-
lowed by the party since its birth and
which have given the country its long
est and greatest period Of prosperity.
While, of course, no ticket could have
been nominated that would not have
disappointed some good Republicans,
certainly no ticket could have been
named that would have pleased more
Republicans than the one that was
named.
RIGHT.
Colusa Herald: The party that sue
cessfully solved the slavery question
will easily solve the money question.
NO APOLOGIES.
Alameda Telegram: McKinley's broad
Americanism, to which a useful career
bears honorable evidence, Is of the kind
that finds the warmest commendation
in the hearts of the people. His record
IS clean, and the role of apologist will
not have to be assumed in his behalf

inatio of General Grant has there been

POPPY COCK.
Placervllle Nugget: All this poppy
cock about Hanna being the boss of the
Republican Convention is tiresome.
Mr. Hanna was the manager for man
selected by the people long before the
convention convened. What a fine
spectacle any man would make of him
self making his own fight for candidate
for the office of Chief Magistrate of

WIDE TIRES IN EUROPE.
Santa Rosa Democrat: The smooth
ness of European roads is due in great
measure to the use of wide tires. In
France every wagon and market cart
is a road maker. The width OF the
tires there runs from three to ten
inches. most four-wheeled vehicles hav-
ing a six-inch rim and a rear axle sew
eral inches longer than the front axle.
In Germany, where the main roads
are models of smoothness, every wagon
for heavy loads must have at least a
four-inch tire. Even the light vehicles
are required to use tires not less than
two and one-half inches wide.
The laws of Austria require wagons
built to carry loads of more than two
and one-quarter tons to have tires not
less than four and one-half inches wide,
and If the wagons are intended for loads
Of more than three and one-half tons
the tires must be six and one-quarter
inches wide.
In Switzerland the width must not be
less than one inch to each draught ami
NAL Wagons for the transportation of
heavy articles must not have tires of
less than six inches.
