Ia several * gounties in the State there was helda deferred teachers’ ' examination y* esterday,the new questious haviwg been forwarded to the Superintendents from Sacramento. They were written in ink on printing paper. and protected. by-tissue paper being pasted over the ends, and then placed’ in two mucilagefastened envelopes. What all this trouble will avail if’ anyone seesfit to contest the legality of the certificates awarded at such examinations, Section 1770 of the Political Code says: ‘The County Board must meet and hold examinations as follows:. Commencing on tho last Wednesday i the po. of J une and Novem-« ber of each year.’ When Mrs. Carr, as Deputy State Superintendent, wrote to G, E. Robinson, . Superintendent of Nevada county’s schools, that there would be issaed no State certificates based upon the November examination, or that county certificates issued then would not. be recognized, Mr. Robinson very properly paid no attention to the official declaration, but went 6a with his business as though nothiftg-had happened, The query arises, _what authority: does the State Superintendent, have concerning county certificates? The law certainly gives him none. The.county Board is an independent body,, and the law says they Most commence the examina_ tion on the last Wednesday i in November én June of each year. Had “Granny” Carr essed the forethought. to eommunicate with the. county and ¢ity Superintendents, advising them to adjourn the Board from day today until the 11th of December, at which time new questions were to be prepared, the difficulty would have been obviated. As’ he did not do so, however, the examination now being held is a farce of the most ludicrous order, not being provided for by law. As each applicant upon passing takes and subscribes to an affidavit saying they have had no assistance during the application, if they swear falsely they should be prosecuted for perjury. A Board of Examiners possessing ordinary powers of observa: tion can easily detect by the answers if any candidate has had access to the questions. MEGHT HAVE BEEX EXPECTED, Now that Jim Keene is through playing with the gold and wheat markets,-he is coming West and will arrive in San Francisco Saturday evening, The enly reasonable construc-; tion of this last movement is-that he wants to take a hand in the steck market. If Keene and Flood cross swords, then let the small fry stand from under. There will be another revulsion, and no small one either, — Skea was, well enough as fat as he went, but the bonanza firm crushed him out with so slight an effort that it was scarcely worthy of them.— Keene is altogether a different, kind of man and knows no such word as fail. If the battle is inaugurated the present calm will be transformed in: toa perfect tempest, and. many a craft will be swamped. a ea A HAPPY SURPRISE. On the occasion of a recent wedding in this vicinity, thé happy one of the sterner sex presented -his: bewitching bride with what was appwrently @ pair of plain dead-gold ear-tings. The recipient put them on, and advanced to a mirror that she might behold how they became her. As she was lookihg at them, probably thinking to herself that} 24 were rather pretty although o “great shakes,” the xlonor step-_ aoe up behind her and quickly touched the ornaments. A _ transformation .of the most bewildering nature immediately took placo in their appearance. By his manipulating secret springs they had assumed altogether another form,. and in } each was displayed a magnificent diamond of great value.

Anxious to do his fiiend a favor, Jimson offere.l to give him some letters of introduction to certain friends of his in New. York-and Chicago. He turned on Jimson-with the fury of a roused lion; and then suddenly relapsing into his usual quiet remarked grimly: “‘If I didn’t know youmeant all right I should murder you. Years ago I promised .myself the pleasure . of shooting the first man who ever ‘In the name of the great North American Shanghai, what do you mean?” Jimson tremblingly asked. %Mean? Why, I mean just what I say—but I will tell you a story that will explain the cause of my sudden ‘anger: When I first made up my mifid to come to California, my (and so did I) thought it would be a good thing forme to have letters of introduction to some of the. wealthy business men of San Francisco, This was easy. of accomplishment, as my father was a lawyer, a member of the church, and withal a man of considerable local influence;-and the result was.a pile of letters. They came from doctors of divinity and plysics, lawyers, merchants, and men of large wealth and ample leisure. Lat once conchided that I was a man of ‘mark,’ and great importance, though I hadn’t yet raised my first cropof whiskers. The letters represented me asbeing a ‘young man of great energy and business capacity,’ which-was lie number one; of ‘large expectations’—~lie number two; and that I ‘had jast graduated at Havard with the highest. bonors’— lie number three. The facts were that I had great energy for doing nothing, business capacity for spendimg the old gentleman's money, and my large expectations consisted in a few: hundred dollars and no prospect of any more unless I earned it; while instead of graduating with.the highest’ honors I had actually been at the foot of my class.’ So, you see, I was a very that. .When I arrived at San Francisco I was received by the many friends which my high-toned letters. of introduction gave me. I was feted and wined and dined to my _heart’s content; was led from one folly to another, and my little pile of money was all the time growing smaller and beautifully less. When I began to appreciate the situation, and to inquire about the prospects of business, of the ‘Arctic and Antarctic Bank’. would retire from his position.in. a. couple of years, and that by investing afew hundred thousand in the stock I could easily. step into his shoes; by another I was informed that the Treasurer of the ‘Blazing Fire Insurance Company’ was dying of consumption, and could hardly live more than five years longer, and that by investing my spare capital I could. readily assume the official mantlé at his demise; while still another advised me to buy outa wholesale importing house on Kearney street. So it went, until at last in sheer desperation I pawned enough of my wardrobe to buy "me a pair of overalls and woolen shirt, and I actually bummed my way on a river steamer to Sacramento, and frem there footed it into the mountains.

King was taken before Judge Garthe, who made out a complaint charging him with battery, ‘and the trial will take place to-day. He is now in the Jail, sobering off. The prisoner is a great howler when drunk, making enough noise for a dozen ordinary men.
