He Has Our Sympathy.

ne hdS OuT o. SuipdGuy'
We deeply regret to hear that our
old friend DR.. Thos. E. Jennings, of
Modoc-our friend from the warm and
bright and sunshinY days of young
manhood to old age-to the cheerless,
chilly, gloomy days of the seer and the
yellow leaf-is now encompassed with
grief, and his heart is bowed down in
sorrow. We learn that his son, now in
Georgia, some time since, became en-
gagged in quarrel with another mau
and it was this sons misfortune to kill
his opponent. And now this beloved
son of his aged old father, is soon to
be put on trial for murder. But we
don't believe it is possible for that boy
that son of DR.. Tom Jennings-the
high-toned, the honorable, the warm
hearted old Tom Jennings-to commit
murder. For of course his fathers
manly, noble principles were lnstilled
into him from his cradle up; and it is
now simply incredible for that sen to
60 so far astray as to wantonly take
the life of his fellow man. In behalf
of son and father, our prayers, and
trust, and hope are, that the son may
soon retarn to his dear old father
free man, and absolved from the foul
charge which now stands against him

The King of Pail.
From the Geographical Journal.

From the Ge0Srapnlral JOufndl
NV first sight of the King of Pail was
most imposing. Having heard of the APP
proach of my party he came out TO meet us
We had stopped the night before at the
small village Of Jepiroh, beautifully stu
ated on high ground, and chiefly reparkable
for the numbers of small green and red par
rots that swarmed in the guinea corn fields
all around it. 1t was the only place where L
saw them in any quantities. We started off
about $50 while the heavy dew was still
sparkling on the grass, and soon met the
head of the Pail contingent. First came 100
bowmen, carrying nothing but their weap-
ons and wearing only the smallest OF ioin
cloths. At regular intervals among them
were mounted officers. Next came body
guard of twenty picked men dressed in red
gowns with white pleats down the back
and armed with every imaginable kind of
gun, the locks Of which were incaSed in
leather. After passing these men / came on
a really beautiful sight.
The king had drawn up under the trees
on one side of the path and some forty or
fifty mounted followers had arranged them
se'yes all around and behind him. They
were dressed for the most part in white
gowns, but generally with either a colored
lining or another cOlored gown underneath.
Voluminous white or blue turbans covered
their heads, and some of them wore very
handsome riding boots, though the major
ity were barefooted. The high-peaked sad
dies were covered with brightly colored
saddle cloths and the horses heads We're
almost hidden by enormous brides covered
with tin ornaments, which kept up a per-
petual juggling as they tossed their heads
about to keep off the flies. On my APP
proach they waved their spears over their
heads with the butt to the front in token of
friendship. This with the king in the CEN
ter wearing a cap of chain mail under his
turban and bowling with courtiy grace,
made truly medieval picture.

the new structure have not as vet been
decided upon, but the general features of
tfe exterior as above indicated will be
carried out. and the interior will be ar
ranged and finished in such a style and
manner as viii make the new building
lrst-class and thoroughly modern. This
Improvement will also serve TO continue the
traditions of the site, where early in the
present century. a hotel building was
erected. 1t has continued down to the pres
ent day to be usad for the same purpose.
IL may also be- said that Wizards Hotel has
been for years one of the famous hostelries
of the capital city, and 1t is evident that
the reputation established and maintained
through such a long psriod of years will
be continued in the future. In this respect,
as Well as in others, the erection of this
building is likely to mark a notable point
in the history of the city. for in addition to
the general character of the proposed i'm
provement and the public benefit which Is
likely to follow, 1t Will represent the largest
investment of money in single enterprise
that has been made in this city.
