SAND GUIDES.
4 Curious Charity Endowment in
Lancashire.

Lancashire.
From the London Star.
The latest report of the Charity
Commissioners discloses curious
charity at Immersion, Lancashire.
There is an endowment for a guide to
conduct travellers across the Kent and
Leven sands, on the north of More
Gamble Bay. The North Lonsdale di.
vision is isolated from the rest of tbs
country by the bay, but a detour OF
nearly fifty miles can be avoided by
travelling across the sands at the
mouth of the River Kent
But the tide comes in with such
raeehorse swiftness that in an incredi-
bly, short space of time it overtakes
incautious travellers, nils the fresh wa
ter bitches which cut up the sands.
hides them from view, and renders 1t
impossible for any one without a guide
to reach the opposite shore.
The earliest record of the charity is
in monastic record of Henry VIII,
where John Hartley is described as
''bailiff and guide of the whole people
of the lord the King by the sands of
the sea called Kent Saunds," and he is
to have sc out of the revenues of
Conished Priory. Another guide receiv-
ed &c year from the funds of Cart
mel Priory for rendering the same serv-
ice at Cartmel, or Leven Sands. which
separate INVERSION from Flookbor-
ough.
In the reign of Edward VI we find
sand record of one of these guides
across the treaeherous sands. He was
a drunkard and gambler, and was in
dicted for allowing travellers to drown
before his eyes.
When Henry VIII. seized the two
priories the Duchy of Lancaster recog
nized the duty of paying these guides,
and the chancellor of the duchy con-
tinues TO this day to appoint them.
When it was proposed to make the
INVERSION and Lancaster Railway,
which crosses the sands further north
than the ancient guides road, the act
provided that inasmuch as the fees
and gratuities receivable by the guides
might be diminished thereby, the COM
pany should pay them ego a year. But
the railway diverted so much traffic
that the duchy in 1875 thought the
guides receipts too great for their
work, and so they spent a considerable
portion of the endowment in building
houses for them.
The Kent Sands guide now receives
SIS year and the use of house and
premises reckoned at ESQ. while the
Leven Sands guide receives $40 and
the use of a house valued at E25. They
are required to prove the fords" two
or three times a week, and to point
them out and give assistance to travel
ers. who average now two a day., The
travellers are generally fishhawkers
with carts.
In both cases the guide resides on the
western shore of the sands. and can
only be utilized by persons starting
from that shore, but curiously enough.
says the report no difficulty seems to
have been experienced by persons
starting to cross from the esatern
shore.

Another shooting.

Thursday evening W J. N. Me Curdy, the well known attorney, shot Frank Main in the Palace saloon, the ball from small pistol, penetrating Mains right lung and lodging under the shoulder blade.
 McCurdy was arrested and lodged Tn iail. Main was taken to his room, and, at last accounts, was still living with chance of recovery.
 Yesterday afternoon McCurdy was taken before Justice Ashley for ex- animation. The first witness was M. M. Conn, who testified to hearing McCurdy and Main disputing over a bet at the rou.ette wheel, which Main was temporarily running, aDd that McCurdy was very abusive. The re- gular dealer, Kennedy returned and put McCurdy out of the door. In a moment McCurdy returned, stepped inside the door and fired pistol hit ting Main. He then ran out.
 Jos. Anderson, barkeeper, testified in about the same teaor.
 Doctor Ferguson testified to the nature of the wound, its course, etc.
 For the defence P. Torres testified that in putting McCurdy out Ken nedy kicked him in the head and body while he was down. Practically the remainder of Torres testimony coincided with that of the preceding two witnesses.
 The case was then continued until 9:30 a. m. today

AN IMPORTANT WORK.

To the legislature of Arizona, now in its twenty-hrst session, there has been presented for consideration and adoption or rejection the work of the code commission created by the twentieth legislature, embody- ing codes of law for the future government of the people of the territory. Consideration of these codes is a very important undertak- ing, and THE OASIS is pleased to note that the legislators have turned their attention thereto with a full sense of the gravity of the work, and the consequences to the welfare of the business interests of our growing commonwealth.
 As yet it has remained 10 most matter of conjecture as to what the proposed codes of law contain wherein they differ from the body of law now in force, and what will be the effect upon the public veal should the changes contemplated be accomplished. But there seems a determination upon the part ot the legislators to go into all those matters thoroughly; and the pro- posed new codes will not be adopted without the most careful scrutiny, and numerous amendments in very important particulars will be adopt ed if what has leaked out with reference to their provisions prove true. For instance 1t is hinted that the ections pertaining to municipal government incorporate many new and novel features which eliminate to a great extent the right of local self government, and vest in the territorial board of control a supervisory power over affairs. At this writing this is merely rumori but if the rumor proves true Il requires not the gift of prophecy tc predict that such part of the civi code embodying such a provision will be incontinently stricken out
 Some of the legislators openly express a determination to reJec the entire body of proposed new law. But that can be hardly brought about. The work to date has cost the taxpayers some hv' thousand dollars. To reject th' work of the commission would b' to throw away that money. Other' favor printing the codes and dis tributing copies pretty freely. Thei the people can study their pro visions and determine at the nex election whether they want them

WILBUR OPERA COMPANY.

Perhaps the most important feature in connection with the engagement of the Wilbur Opera company next week at the Jacques is the fact that the fam GUS Pauline Hall heads the company. Miss Hall. it will be rem en,b bered, was starred with Francis Wilson in the revival of "ErmInie" last May, appear ing with him at Polis and creating q splendid impression by her remarkable voice and thoroughly artistic singing. Miss Hall is not regularly connected with the Wilbur company. being en- gagged for a few weeks only at q very high salary as q special feature. and Waterbury is particularly fortunate in being one of the cities where she is to appear with the company. If there were no other feature of interest con nected with the engagement of the Wilburs this one extraordinary feature of Pauline Halls appearance at every performance should serve TO pack the Jacques to overfiowing all next week
