MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

A sheriff arrived here from the south
ern part Of the Territory the other day,
laid hands upon our esteemed contem-
porary, and made ready to bear him
hence Ii was a case of mistaken ideD-
tity. How on earth any one could have
mixed up q nmp-hacked, lop-aded, skinny
old critter like our contemporary with a
man who was called Terrible BILL" and
had shot three men, we cannot possibly
understand, but such was the case. We
were one Of dozen TO step forward and
declare the mistake, and the sheriff went
away without prisoner Nothing more
ridiculous has ever happened in the history
OF Givesdam Gulch, and the people won't
get over Laughing for weeks Our es-
teened gave US no thanks for swearing
60 his identity. On the contrary, he has
threatened to make it hot for US. believ-
ing that we had something TO do with the
case We hadn't, of course, but if 1t viii
do him any good 10 get out an old gun and
pop away at US, he is welcome. He
can't bit a barn at ten feet, and the only
thing we object 30 is the wheezy sound his
old pistol makes when he pulls trigger
He ought to pour in some troches for hoarse-
ness along with the cartridges, or
iced the thing overnight with cough
syrup. We felt sorry for the sheriff when
be went away, though he said he should
have felt degraded for life to take such a
man along with him and pass him off as

The Good Old Times i.

In Queen EliZabeth's time the common
hour for risingin the country was 4 4o'clock,
summer ana winter, and breakfast was at
5 O'Clock, after which the laborers W ent to
WORK and the gentlemen to business. The
Ean and Countess of Northumberland break
tasted together and alone at O'Clock.
The meal consisted OF quart of Wine, q
quart of beer and a cline of beef. The
merchants of London took dinner at noon
and supper at 6. The farmers dined at
high noon and took supper at or 8
O'Clock. The great drink of the realm
was beer. And Harrison dwells loving
ly on and devotes many pages to de-
scription of the process of making this
beer, as practiced once month by his
wife and maidservant. Drink was served
in pot goblets and bowls of silver. 1t
was not set on the table, but the cup
was brought to each one who thirsted
and he called for the cup as he wished
In SEakcspeare's day much less time
was spent in eating and drinking than
formerly, but the English Were good
eaters ever Ia those days. The arch
bishop of York entertained $500 persons,
and the following is q list of the food
required for them: Three hundred quar-
tiers of wheat so tuns of ale, 104 tuns of
ale, 1 O4 tups of wine, so oxen, 5000 geese,
2, 900 pigs, a 900 comics, 1000 herons, A. 900
veniscn pasties, cold, and 800 hot. 4,0o0
cold tarts, 1000 cold custards, seals, 4
porpOises and 20 on.
Busino saw lad OF fifteen led to execu-
ton for stealing bag Of currants. At the
end OF every month, besides special exc
cutions, as many as twenty-five people
at time rode through London streets in
Tyburn carts, singing ribald songs and
carrying srrigs Of rosemary in their
hands. Everywhere in the streets the
machines of Justice were c-visible-pillories

feet, and chains to stretch across, In
case of need, and stop q mob. In the
suburbs were oak cages for nocturnal
offenders At the church doors might
now and then be seen women enveloped
in sheets, doing penance for their evil
deeds
Hanging was the common punishment
for felony, hut traitors and many other
offenders were drawn, hanged, disembow-
eled and quartered; mobiles who were
traitors usually escaped with having their
heads chopped off only. Torture was not
practi ced; for, says 81 arri son, people
despise death, yet abhor to be tormented,
being of frank and open minds. And ''this
is one cause why our condemned persons
do go 90 cbcerfully to their deaths, for our

The world round, but, as her scheme is TO
be put into Immediate practice by a leader
OF Cape Mays social set who has acted
rs hostess here time and time again, the
French ladys lawn party becomes a local
affair. She gave lawn party on the
banks of the Seine, and provided row
boat for each OF the fifty couples invited,
each boat being given number. They
were decorated with flags and bunting
and massed together in line.
Each man and woman was given a
numbered favor and sought the boat bear
ing the same number. A noiseless tug,
with the row OF boats attached, started
up the river amid laughter and fun, and
in ten minutes the order was given to
change boats, each man being transferred
TO the boat ahead, while the man in the
front boat went back 10 the last, swift
naphtha launch attending TO the transfers.
Twenty-Five changes were made on the
way To u pretty grove, where lunch was
served, and the rest of the changes were
completed on the way back.
There were no wall-flowers at this
party-everyone stood an equal chance.
