From Judges Library.
 The Bingses, mother and daughter, had long out-stayed their visit at their coun- try friends house. Moreover, they evinced no sign of going away, nor did the moth CT seem to be in any way affected by the strong hints to go which the overtaxed hostess threw out from time to time. Finally, forbearance exhausted, the en- tertainer decided to reach the mother through her daughter. So one day, call ing the little visitor to her. she said, "Maimie, when do you expect to go homer"
 "Oh, I'm sure I don't know" was the careless reply. We've several other places to stop al yet
 Well, when do you go on to the next placer"
 Cant even tell that. Mamma hays it's immaterial to her just when she'll leave here"
 But, my dear child" exclaimed the ex- asperated hostess, doesn't your mother realize how high living Is these days?"
 "Oh, yes; she knows how high it is. That's why we left the city,
 Well, Maimie, I cannot afford to enter tain visitors any longer, and l wsh you'd tell your mother that at once!'
 'Is that an insult?" rejoined the child turning haughtily to the speaker

 Brannan, who had been a printer, took out with him on the ship the equipment of Mormon paper that had been printed in New York. Upon reaching California he at once established a newspaper, the Yerba Buena California Star. It was of the same size as its contemporary, the Californian and was issued weekly. The first number of the second volume came out In enlarged form on January 8, 1S4S. It continued until May 26 1s4S
 Both papers were compelled to suspend when the gold excitement broke out all over California in the spring of 1S4S. and every persons who coudl get to the gold fields did so. Not only did all the printers org the two papers immediately stampede for the Sierras, but abou 95 per cent of the subscribers went too. Indeed, num- Der of the editors also joined the rush. Grammar instantly adapted himself to the situation, and soon had established himself as the owner of the best equipped general store in the mining country.
 One of the members of the force of the Californian made a valiant stand and issued several extra sheets after about every one else had deserted the office. In one extra sheet appeared two columns or news dDOul lHc tlcdty ol oiO|A'Sct AAS mont's trial, etc., two advertisements, and this editorial
 For the purpose of convincing what is left of the public that the Californian is not extinct, nor yet altogether used up, we, in our triple character of editor, printer and devil have compiled, set up, worked off, and circulated this extra, which we hope will do our readers much good. for it would probably very much y,I. far 1f what precise period they will hear from us again."
 From May until the latter part of June, 1S4s, during the development of the gold excitement California did not possess single newspaper About July l, 1S4s' some of the printers, disguested with the result of their gold seeking ventures, re- turned to San Francisco and began the publication of the third volume of the Californian. The paper was Issued irregu- larly until August, 1S4S. when the regular weekly issue was started again under the editorial control of IT. I. Sheldon. In September E. C. Kemble, who formerly had editorial charge of the Star, returned from the mines and purchased the Cali fornian. He also purchased the in terests of his two partners in the Star and united the two papers under the title of the Star and Californian, commencing publication where the Star had stopped, Vol. IT., No. 24.
 The Star and Californian was the only paper then published in California and was issued weekly until the last of De- cember, 1s4S, when the title was aban- doned and on January I. 1S49 MT. Kem- ble, with Messrs. Gilbert and Hubbard. began the publication of the Alta Cali fornia, which was published for a good many years afterward.

Crown Point, Ind, Feb. 10. The
grand jury, In session at Crown Point,
I'm the Lake circuit court, will today
return an Indictment against William
eagle, charged with the murder of Liz
zie Schroeder at TOIIestOn over a year
and a half ago.
The grand jury had presented for it's
consideration the written confession
which eagle made to the police and
also the testimony of the Gary business
men, who went with him over the scene
of his crime and heard him describe it
in detail.
The indictment is expected to be re-
turned promptly. and as soon as eagle
had given his testimony he was re-
turned to his cell in the county jail
Attorney Bretsca of Gary and Attor-
ney d. E, Boone of Hammond have vol
unteered to defend the fend incarnate
free of charge. and will try to save
his neck on the plea that he is in
sane.
While it is generally believed thai
eagle should have attorneys who coult
make q good defense, 1t is believed, II
view of the fact that he has confessed
that any miscarriage of justice would
arouse a storm of protest and Nigh
even lead to lawlessness.
/ OF course, the case will be big ad

their solicitors with copies of THE

them in securing new business, show

be used in the canvass of that state.
