a CORRECTION.

In tho publication of the prcscntmcnt
of the grand jury the omission of the
word "dispcnsary" made the report say
what the jury did not intend. 1t was
the useless bringing Of dispcnsary
cases that the jury wanted to avoid.
This part of the report should read rs
follows: .~..
"Ihc grand jury would, however,
state that in their Judgment the county
is put to a very great and, Us VIC think
unnecessary expense in the number OF
States witnesses brought into court in
the cases brought by the State against
violators of the dispcnsary law, who
when brought before us do not know
anything about tho cases."
1t seems that many trivial eases with
an army Of witnesses arc brought be,
fore tho grand jury, and the county is
thus put to Il useless expense.

THIRTY-NlNE YEARS IN ned.
Queer Whim of an EngIishwOman
Who Has Just Died.

A spnster lady of fortune died last
week, at Teignmouth, Devonshire, who.
for the last thirty-nine years, has led a
most extraordinary life
one evening, in the years 1858, being
then in her 38th year. and in perfect
health, she retired TO rest as usual The
following morning she remarked that bed
was the most comfortable place In the
world, and announced her intention of
remaining there for the rest of her natural
life And she did
From that day until the day upon which
she was placed in her coffin last week.
she never got up again, although remain
ing to within a few months of her death
in the best Of health. For two years she
lay in an upstairs room, but for the last
thirty-seven years her bed was placed in
one on the ground floor, commanding the
entrance to the house and grounds From
this vantage point, by an ingenious ar
rangement of mirrors, She could see eve
rything that went on around the house
and in the gardens; while her sense OF
hearing became so acute that nothing
transpired inside its four walls which es-
capped her attention.
Neither the death of her father nor that
of her mother, which took place after she
had retired for this long rest, operated to
alter her resolution. on the latter's de-
cease she found herself possessor Of the
9 o'clock every night and the keys put on
a table al her bedside. She proved an ex-
cellent woman Of business, transacting all
her affairs, managing her servants enter
tanning her guests and revising her visit
ing list without turning counteTpane so
to speak. Neither did she change her diet
in any way, but. despite her recumbent ha-
bit of life, continued TO eat her usual
meals, dining at s and consuming such
things as ducks, game, peaches, pork and
all things indigestlble and taking her cof-
fee and liquors regularly all her life.
Doctors visited her but she had no need
of their prescriptions, and IL was only a
few months ago that the effects of her ex-
traordinary manner Of life began to be
visible. Then she gradually broke up. The
medical men who made a postmortem ex-
animation Of her remains found that her
heart and lungs were free from disease
so that had she led an ordinary existence
she would in all probability have lived for
another ten or fifteen years. At her death
at the age Of n, she weighed nearly seven
teen stone and the coffin in which she was
buried was considered the largest ever
made in South Devon. She was no miser
but lived well gave freely and handed on
her fortune unlmpaired TO her collateral
descendants

OF Drain in animals surprisingly little is

Just little Is known about the senses Of
insects. There is no question that they pos

PENSION AGENTS.
Contra Costa News: A lot of hungry
pension agents have conceived the idea
of having the Government pay pensions
to all ex-slaves. and a bill is about to
be introduced in Congress to that ef-
feet. Such law would be an imposi-
tion upon the American people, and it
is safe to say it will never pass.
RIPE OLIVES.
Peoples Cause: We who are used to
the picked olive have no idea of the
ripe one 1t is a blush black, and has
not the agreeable flavor of the olive
picked green. The juice is oily and the
meat black. In large plantations the
olives are gathered by hand, men and
women climbing ladders to reach the
fruit In olden times 1t was believed
that the olive tree became unproductlve
If any woman under 40 years was al
lowed to pick the fruit.
BE ON YOUR GUARD.
Redding Free Press: The following
swindle is being worked in Oregon and
Northern California, and no doubt the
rescals will try the same game in this
section in the near future. Swindler NO.
1 calls upon a farmer with a patent
wagon tongue and informs him that he
is on his way home, having made good
thing out Of it and has only one county
to sell. He tells the farmer he can have
it for 500, and if he wants it to write
to him. In few days swindler No. z
comes along. He has heard that the
farmer has the right Of the county for
the patent wagon tongue, and as he
has made big thing out of it in Penn
sylvania, he wants to buy the right of
the county and offers the farmer S2o0
and pays SO to bind the bargain. The
farmer writes No. l and sends him his
note for $100 He never hears of either
of the men again, but his note comes up
for collection in a neighboring town, and
he is out 500.
FUNDING BILL SECURITY.
Bakersfield Californian: In discussing
the funding bill one fact should not be
lost sight of, and that is that the Gov
or ic J1o
tween Ogden and San Jose. If the fund
ing bill should be adopted, the railroad
would pledge it's entire property to the
payment Of the Indebtedness, instead of
only small portion, as at present.
