on the continent which can empty itself
more speedily than Washington of the
transient visitors who give life to it
while congress is here. ...
The session of congress which has just
come to an end has not been rich in the
making of regulations. If any one man
has grown greatly in the estimation of
house and senate it is Speaker Cannon,
who, in single session, has enrolled
among the little group of really great
speakers who have presided over the de-
alterations of the house. There are not
many of them. Clay, Colfax, Blaine,
Carlisle and Reed are the names which
occur easily to anybody with historical
bent of mind, and it is high tribute to
Cannon that at the close of an unusually
short and uneventful session, there
should be many who are disposed to
group him with the historic lights.
Both republicans and democrats unite
to sing Cannon's praises He is as high
ly regarded on the democratic side of the
house as among his own party associates.
Even the most hopeless partisans are
forced to admit that they have no COM
plant to make against the speaker on
account of his conduct in the chair. So
free from partlsanishp has he been that
the house has been treated several times
to spectacle hitherto unprecedented
since the creation of the committee on
rules. That committee more than once
has made reports providing special or
ders for legislation in which the repub-
licans and democrats on the committee
united in unanimous action. If this had
happened in the administrations of Reed,
or Crisp, or Henderson, it would have
been thought that the heavens were
about to fall.

vic diseases have no idea that their
trouble is due to catarrh. The majority
of the people think that catarrh is dis
ease confined to the head alone.
This is not true. Catarrh is liable to-
attack any organ of the body; throat,
bronchial tubes, lungs, stomach, kid
neys and especially the pelvic organs.
Many a woman has made this dis
covery after n long siege of useless treat
ment. She has made the discovery that
her disease is catarrh, and that Peruna
can be relied upon to cure catarrh

speeches in which
he treated the republican majority with
out gloves. But that he had the qualities
of real leadership was hardly suspected
except by some of his intimates until the
time came when it was necessary to
pick out somebody to assume the re-
sponsibility laid down by Richardson, of
Tennessee.
Williams rose to his opportunity in a
way to delight his fellow democrats in
the house. He has shown tact and bril-
lial.cy has kept his lance poised for any
possible vulnerable spots in the repub-
lican armor, and at the same time has
maintained personal relations with the
republican leaders which give him in
fluence on the majority side of the house.
Williams is a rather curious product
of democratic generation. He was born
in Memphis, Tenn, and his father was a
confederate colonel, killed at Shiloh.
Then young Williams, with his mother,
moved to his mothers old family home
stead in Yazoo country, Mississippi He
still maintains himself there during the
recesses of congress as lawyer and a
cotton planter. He is one of the most
highly educated men in either branch of
congress. AS he himself expresses it, he
received a fair education" at private
schools.

Lots' begun.
The city of Washington is growing
to the northwest with a rapidity which
attracts the attention of all observers.
Fifteen years ago the business center
was on Pennsylvania avenue, between
Ninth and Fourteenth streets. At that
time F street two blocks to the north,
was chiefly occupied by residences, Ten
years ago the center OF business had
been shifted from the avenue to F
street. and almost every residence had
been transformed into a shop.
F street Is still the center, but with
in another five years 1t will have lost
its prestige for places of business arc

ten years the business center will be

HE HAD CALVES BREATH.
The Model Young Man Didn't Use
Tobacco and 1t Made His
Girl Sick.

After the capture of Newbern, N. c.,
by the union forces under Burnside,
there was little fighting for some time,
and the boys when off duty made the
best of their time in visiting the ma
tives and winning them back to the old
government. The young men brushed
up their uniforms, donned paper collars,
and put their best foot foremost for,
as there were many men and only few
young ladies, it was considered quite
an honor to obtain lady escort, and the
captivating young man who was most
popular was looked upon with envy by
his less fortunate comrades, relates the
American Tribune. Sergt. Peck, of the
Tenth Connecticut, was considered a
model young man. He always went nat
tily dressed, did not use liquor or to-
bacco in any form and his lips never
formed an oath. Yet Sergt. Peck never
succeeded but once in securing lady's
company, and after that they seemed to
shun him more than any of the men.
Puzzled by their persistent refusals, he
asked his cousin, who was, on the con-
trary, always able to bring lady to
church or gatherings, to make inquiry
and find out why they all disliked him,
The cousin, after eXtolling his merits,
his temperance and avoidance of tobac-
co, asked some of the ladies why they
all refused TO keep company with such
nice young man, and was surprised to
hear the lady who had been the only one
to go with him say:
"Oh! he didn't use tobacco, and his
breath smells just like calf. 1t makes
me sick"

Died Suddenly.

Andrew DOuet, pioneer citizen of
Amador county, and resident of
Clinton since early days, died at the
Douet place, near Clinton, on Friday
last. His death was sudden, although
he was feeble from extreme old age.
The circumstances were held to Justify
an inquest, and Coroner Huberty went
up to the ranch Saturday and i'm
panelled a jury to inquire into the facts.
1t appears that Friday about 8 O'Clock
deceased retired to his room, as was
his wont, for his afternoon nap. He
was apparently as we'll as usual, al
Though 1t is claimed that he had been
somewhat disturbed over little trouble
that occurred on election day, concern
ing his right to sit on the board after
a substitute had been selected to take
his place, owing to his being lata at the
polls. He was Qne Of the regularly ap-
pointed officers Of election at Clinton.
The matter was adjusted by Douet
taking his seat, but the affair ruffied
him considerably. On retiring to his
room in the Lintiilac home, which de-
ceased sold to the present owners sew
eral years ago, retaining room there
in, nothing noticeable occurred until
the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lintillac
returned from school about hslf-past
four. She repaired to his room to
greet MIN, as was her custom, but
found him lying unconscious on the
bed, frothing at the mouth, in fact
dying. The family was alarmed and
sent for the doctor, but before medical
aid arrived he passed away. The jury
found that death resulted from natural
causes.
Andrew DQuet was a native of France,
aged 81 years. He settled in Amador
county in early days, and devoted his
attention to mining. He operated a
gravel claim near Clinton, and
took out fortune therefrom. In the
flush time at Virginia City incident to
the Comstock discovery, he did much
business there in the sale of wine and
spirits, produced on his ranch at
Clinton, and made large sums of money
He speculated in Comstock shares. At
one time he was worth over 800, 600,
and might have retired with a hand.
some fortune. He continued to specu-
late, and lost, keeping however the
Clinton property. This he sold to Jean
Lintillac about three years ago. He
was unmarried. The funeral took
place on Tuesday, under the auspices
of Amador Lodge f. 4 A. M. of jack
son, of which order he was a mem ber
in high standing. The burial was in
the Jackson cemetery, the members
following the remains to the grave in a
body, dressed in the full regalia of the
order.
The only relatives known are a
nephew Lying at Virginia City, and a
niece, Mrs. Tabeaud, of Jackson.

Hasty Action.

Let all things be done decently and
in order" is scriptural injunction as
applicable In these days of commercial
hustle and excitement as it was in
ancient times. 1t is customary, in the
event of death, to delay matters con-
corning the administration of the estate
of the decedent until after the remains
of the dead are laid away in the grave.
This custom has become so well es-
tablished that any departure therefrom
naturally elicits comment and inquiry,
particularly so if the breach of custom
is the result of official action. In the
case of Andre Douet, who died near
Clinton last Friday, and was buried by
the Masonic fraternity on the Tuesday
following. application was made for
letters of administration of the estate
by the public administrator on the l4th
instant, the day before the funeral,
and special letters were actually granted
on that day. At the time the funeral
cortege was passing through the
streets of Jackson, notices were ex-
hibited on the bulletin boards petition
ing for letters in the interest of the
people of California, to ia ke charge of
the estate of the one whose body was
on the way to its long home. We
understand that the reason assigned for
this haste is that the estate demanded
immediate attention, and we make this
explanation and let it pass for what it
is worth.
