Law, and Common Sense, Too.

A decision has lately been rendered
BY the California Supreme Court which
is OF intense interest to Nevada owners
OF water rights whose source of supply
are within the boundaries of our neigh
boring State. The syllabus OF the de-
cision says, with other points:
An appropriation of water by means
OF ditch is not measured by the Ca
pacity OF the ditch, hut is limited to
such quantity, not exceeding its capa-
city, as the appropriation may put to y
useful purpose, and no mat ter how great
in extent the original quantity appropri-
ated may have been, any amount less
than the whole amount appropriated
which has not been devoted to l,eneti-
cial use at some time within five years,
is lost and forfeited az against a subse-
luent appropriation thereof.

Ever since we ascertained
that the officers Of the Valley
Bank; the soundest of sound
money men, were lending their
jealous support to Governor Nc.
Laurip, an aVowed silver bug, we
have marveled, casting around the
while to discover the real reason.
The puzzle is not yet solved. Per-
haps it never will be. No one
can toll, but, after all, it may be
that the Valley Bank is SIMPLY
paying a debt of gratitude,
Let us explain. The charter of
this hourlshing institution was ap-
proved oy our Anse on the 2sp,'
day of SeptemhGr iSaS, and very
property pretermitted the hurtful
''silver rider" that the Governor
was using promiscuously about
that time. 1t viii he remember
cd that d number of corporations,
mercantile and what not, charter
ed during the past season, were
not permitted by our sllvery and
slippery Anse to borrow money
or make any other obligation pay
able in gold, the prohibition being
embodied in what is above referred
to as his famous ''silver rider" >"
This rule was not applied to the
Valley Bank. In short, dis
crimination, 1t seems, was made in
their favor, and the Governors
sign manual with the great seal of
the State were promptly affixed to
their charter without qualm or
bubble. Just why the Governor
Disseminated in favor of the Vol
ley Bank, and against the other
corporations mentioned, this de-
ponent saith not, but it seems to
be game of ''you tickle me and
III tickle you;'' and So General
Cyrano Reinach, the handsome
president of the bank, and Colonel
Billy Boy Roberts, his accomplish
ed cashier, are making the fight of
their lives in favor of The Archi
tect.-Bolivar Democrat.

CHRISTMAS IN INDIA.

The following poem, not found
in the collected works of Rudyard
Kipling, is one of his earlier, as
well as one of his best, produc'
tions:
. Dim dawn behind the tamarisks-the
sky is saffron yellow
As the women in the village grind
] the corn,
, And the parrots seek the riverside,
each calling to his fellow
That the day, the staring Christmas
day, is born,
Oh, the white dust on the highway,
Oh, the stenches in the byway,
oh, the clammv fog that hovers over
earth,
And at home they're making merry
meath the white and scarlet berry
What part have India's exiles in
their mirth?
Full day behind the tanarisks the sky
is blue and staring
As the cattle crawl a-feld beneath
the yoke,
And they bear one DER the field path
who is past all hope of caring,
To the CHAT below the cn"li"- ii..-
NGsaVh| =, =. smoke,
Call on Rama, going slowly, as ye bear
a brother lowlYi
call on Rama--he may hear, perhaps,
your voice.
With our hymn books and our psalters
we appeal to other altars,
And to-day we bid good Christian
men rejoice"
High noon behind the tamarisks--the
sun is hot above US
AS at home the Christmas Day is
breaking wan,
They will drink our health at dinner
those who tell us how thy love US,
And forget Us till apqtheF year be
gone
Oh, the toll that knows no breaking
Oh, the heimweh, ceaseless, aching!
On the black dividing sea and alien
plain,
Youth was cheap-wherefore we sold
it.
Gold was good-we hoped to hold it,
And to-day we know the fullness OF
our gain
Gray dusk behind the tamarisks--the
parrots fly together
AS the sun is sinking slowly over
home;
And his last ray seems to mock us
shackled in the lifelong tether,
That drags us back howe'er so far
we roam.
Hard her service, poor her Judgment
she in ancient, tattered raiment,
India, she the grim stepmother OF
our kind.
If year of life be lent her, if her tenn
ple's shrine we enter,
The door is shut--we may not look
behind.
Black night behind the tamarisks--the
owls begin their chorus
AS the eonches from the temple
scream and bray.
With the fruitless year behind us and
the hopeless years before us;
Let us honor, 0, my brothers. Christ
mas Day!
Call truce, then, to our labors, let US
feast with friends and neighbors,
And be merry as the custom OF our
caste,
For, if "faint and forced the laughter, "
and If sadness follow after,
We are richer by one moeking Christ
mas past.

He Has Something to Say About the
River Mail and the YazoO Canal.
Yesterday a letter was received
here by the Board of Trade from
Congressman T. G. Catchings in
regard to the threatened discon-
tinuance of the river mail service
between this city and Greenville.
GeneraI Catohings stated that he
had held conversation with the
second assistant postmaster gener-
al, and the latter had stated that
the matter of disseminating the
river service between Vicksburg
and Greenville, and the substitut-
ing ofa star route service, had been
considered by post Office authorities
but that as yet no orders had been
given in regard to same, and that
no action would be taken in the
premises until the Board of Trade
of this city had taken some ac-
ton in the matter, ,-Vicksburg

THE DIvAS PARROTS.
Patti has always been very fond OF parrots,
and the last time she was in New York she
was informed that there was a marvelously
clever Polly" for sale, of which she ought
to become the proud possessor. Now Patti
was quite willing to pay the enormous price
of $50 to add jumbo to her already valu-
able collection of wise and witty birds. No
sooner did Jumbo come into her possession
than not one word would. he utter Months
went by. but still he remained mute. One
day. however, he took violent cold, and on
the prima donna's doctor entering the room
to prescribe for her sulky pet this strange,
unaccountable parrot opening his beak for
the first time, exclaimed in hoarse, shT1ll
accents: "Oh, doctor I'm SO sick. Take me
out of ths!''

where the tale of love is accompanied,
as it were, by the beating Of tom-toms
and the din and clatter of frenzied re-
ligionists.
But such was the turbulent course Of
played cut-throat euchre with the Duke
Of Guise and Admiral Coligny, using
Catholics and Huguenots alike as cards
and the supremacy Of France as the
stake. It is this period that covers the
life of Jean de Marquette, the hero Of
the romance. The story of his wander
ings brings the warm color of life to
the Huguenot settlement in America
during the sixteenth century. The book
therefore strikes a note In French his
tory that is in weird accord with the
stormy measures which Frenchmen are
playing even now.

When Rudyard Kipling says of this
"epic OF whaling" that no other word
save immense can describe it, that he
never read its equal for decp-sea Won

book SO completely covers the business
of whale fishing, it is in order for COM

theless there are such graphic descrip-

such excellent illustrations that at the
risk Of being called presumpsuous we
venture to say that 1t is good book
