Unfortunate Omission.

One of the most singular instances of
punishment for an oversight was that
shown by the commitment of an alma
nae maker to the Bastille in l717.
1t was made out by order of the Duke
of Orleans, regent during the minority
of Louis V of France, and read as fol-
lows:
Laurence d'Henry. for disrespect to
King George l in o mentioning him
in lis almanac as king of Great Brit
ain"
How long this unlucky almanac max
er remained in prison is unknown. The
register of the Bastille, examined at the
time of the revolution, failed to throw
any light OH the subject.

Zebra Culture,

On several South African farms ex-

tame as ponies, and are readily broken
in for draft work. The object of their

like the zebra, is proof against the

they cannot stand overdriving.- Lon

Pacific Sugar Fleet.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-The
Golden Gate was one of the busiest
ports in the United States yesterday.
A dozen coasters and steam vessels
made port and six sugar boats got in
from Hawaii, while number of yes
sells came in from Australia and South
Sea Island ports.
All the vessels from Hawaii made
quick passages. The Santiago made
the quickest run of the fleet, arriving
here last Thursday night in the fast
time of fourteen days. The bark S. G.
Allen made the run from Honolulu in
sixteen days, and the barkentine Paint
er from Kahului in sixteen days, while
the barkentine George G. Perkins took
twenty days to come from Mahukona,
the Metha Nelson nineteen days to
come from Kahului, and the Marie
Hackfeld eighteen days to come from
Honolulu. All the sugar boats had fair
weather and every one of them sailed
in. Consequently the captains of the
various tugs that were outside looking
for a job were more than angry when
they saw the vessels sailing by them
under full sail.
The Metha Nelson when she entered
port completed her first round trip.
She was built year ago in Mendocino
and was named after the wife of Cap
tain Nelson. A few days after the
schooner left port for Hawaii Mrs.
Nelson died, and consequently the re-
turn of the vessel is sad reminder to
the owner of the schooner

sails were clewed up she began to
drift. Before the captain could take
any precautions he was almost along
side of the British ship Lismore. Luck

Planter was soon warped out of dan
ger.

Arthur Fitzgerald the young Eng

on the streets. It will be remembered
that the young man, after being sent
to Jail. had a difficulty with a fellow
prisoner and was confined in the dun
geon in consequence. It was not his
first experience of this kind for infrac-
ton of the rules, and Arthur took
his medicine like an old hand.
For the assault case he was SEN
fenced to the dungeon, on bread and
water diet, for ten days, the extreme
limit of time.
AS is the custom, prisoners in the dun
geon are brought out and examined by
the prison physician once each day

When the guard would hand him his

table. The guard was told to tell Fitz

that life in the dungeon would not
change the prisoners disposition, and
the punishment was changed. He was
given a ball and chain and put to work
in the garden for about six hours each
day and forbidden TO speak TO anyone
Then he was deprived of reading mat
ter and tobacco. The idea that he
could see his fellow prisoners and not
be allowed TO speak TO them. and have
nothing to read in his cell was too
much for the little fellow. and he gave
in and sent for Jailor Low and told
him he was ready for work. He is very
