G. A. saIa and His Epitaph.

Among some autograph letters and
historical documents sold recently were
a series Of eight letters by George Au-
gustus Sala addressed to w. p Firth,
including an amusing forecast OF his
own epitaph:
When / die It may be written on my tomb,
He wrote the worst burlesque ever acted;
He abused the constituted authorities
and
with malice prepense
msligned
The Royal Academy Of Arts.
He did the things he ought not to have
done and never did
Those he should have done.
He was stout In person and bloated in
countenance, and
He never came 10 dinner when he was
asked.
But when he dropped in unasked was
no doubt better company than many In
yited guests are!

ILLEGIBLES NOT PUBLISHED.
Said Mayor Schriver this morning,
People have stated and printed that
the papers did not publish all Of the
names included in the petitions. That
is true. The stenographers went over
the original petitions very carefully
and copied every name that was legi-
BILE, in many instances consulting the
city directory TO ascertain the cor
rect name. They were aided by men
who are we'll acquainted with the city.
In those cases where names could not
be deciphered or found in the direc-
tory, a reference TO the page of the
petition and the line Of the petition
was made. There are between 300
and 400 ineligible names on the petit
tions. Whether they will be thrown
out, cannot say.
MIGHT OBJECT TO 1000.
We are still receiving affidavits
from men who declare forgeries and
fictitious addresses. might say that
had we the time to go over the petit
lions more thoroughly. we might find
reason for objection to at least 1000
OF the signatures on the petitions"
II is thought that there are suffi-
Client signatures to warrant the declar.
alton that the petitions are null and
void, and furthermore. that there are
many instances wherein men who
have been instrumental in the circu-
lation OF petitions are liable for for.
gerry and for perjury. II is also un.
derstood afidavits Of an exceedingly
sensational nature have been obtained
showing not only the fact that the pc,
titions as a whole are illegal, but es
tablishing beyond a doubt that the
moving spirit throughout was. as The
Argus has contended all along, the
discredited saloonkeeper.

Although the COLLECTION of books and
other things deposited at the doors of
the United Presbyterian church for
the identifying of the county Jail and
uplift of the prisoners, was of goodly
proportions. the pastors who are be-
