Progress ana Prosperity of Nevada County’s New Colony. « W. B. Hayford can be seen at the Park almost any day superintending the work of land clearing and tree planting, which are being more. extensively prosecuted there than at any . other point in the county except per“haps in Pet Hill district where the Excelsior Company, Mr. Segestrand, Mr. Driesbach and others are converting what was afew years ago a comparatively unproductivo region into oae of the most attractive garden-spots in the foothills. Hr. Haven, a civil engineer from Minnesota who has acquired a com. petency and retired from the active pursuit of bis profession, a short time ago arrived at Chicago Park and made a careful inspection of the new Nevada county colony’s lands. Without investing he took-his departure and made a four of observation through the San Joaquin, SantaClara andother valleys whose lands are so famous for their productiveness and whose climate is so much lauded. He has now returned to Chicago Park. satisfied that no -other locality holds out_so-many-inducements of the most desirable character, and having purchased a ten acre tract there will build himself a fine honse, plant vines and trees and settle down to enjoy the balance of his days._ He wants no_more of “Minnesota winters and blizzards, after a taste of the entrancing climate of the Nevada county Bartlett pear belt. Four-score and more of able-bodied laborers are busily engaged in clearing and planting the Park lands. Arrangements for the , building of the new and beautiful hotel are--progressing satisfactorily, and on a basis}. that ensures the erection of even a finer structure than was at first pro~~ Superior Court. The following business was transacted in the Superior Court Tuesday, Judge J. M. Walling presiding: People vs. Edward Farley. Arraign~~ ed on charge of burglary: W.-D: Leng appointed attorney.

On Friday evening of next week Nevada City is to be favored with a visit by the renowned Royce & Lansing Musical Comedy Co. This company, it will be remembsred, made a decided success on the Pacific coast about one year ago. They return from the East with an enlarged company of the best talent that could be obtained, and their program is far superior to any that has been presented by them during the past nine years. Their present. season cannot fail to add thousands of friends and fresh laurele to those already gained. All those wishing to enjoy an evening of refined music and comedy should secure seats at once. Died of Pneumonia. James L. Stevens, who worked recently at the Delhi mine, died at this city Tuesday morning of pneumonia. He had been ill about a week. He leaves a wife and three daughters.” He belonged to Monarch Lodge of Odd Fellows in Colorado, from which State he came about three years ago. The funeral will take place at three o’clock Wednesday afternoon under the auspies of Oustomah Lodge. ee Death of J. KR. Collins. ie ' ieee Jas. R.

Pard. brought out the Transorrer that said the Legislature had adjourned, and after reading it a few moments remarked : “Well, I see they have quit.” ‘Who hus quit and what?” I asked. “That would be hard to tell,” he answered, ‘further than that the California, Legislature has quit.’ “But why do you say they have “quit’—only that and nothing more ?”’ 'T asked. ‘Because, from what I learn from the Sacramento and San Francisco papers, law-making is not the only thing that has stopped. Somehow, the Legislature, or rather this Assembly, that has just adjourned, has left the most unsavory odor behind it of any that ever got together in this State. I remember the ‘Assembly of a thousand drinks,’ thé Stanford Legislature, the Swamp Land and Mud Flats Legislature, and one that was said at the time to contain more real, good, scientific poker players than could be got together in any other State in the Union: Well, the latter is not the worst reputation such a body might have by any means, A man to be a good poker player must be cool as a cucumber, as sharp as a needle, a good judge of men, andmust possess the courage of his convictions. Moreover, I have generally found men that played high to be good fellows, square in their dealings and careiul of their reputations. There are exceptions, of course. I don’t hear or read of but one thing about the Assembly that has just adjourned—and that is that it was a weak, corrupt crowd. There. were some-ygood men in it, but on every question whenBuss Buckley choose to wield his influence he overruled right and the best interest of the State. Could a worse reputation be attached to any man than that he followed the lead of this .Boss?. I believe Ewould rather be called a horse. thief and net_ be able. to say I was uot, than—te—be—ealHed—oneof Buckley's ‘lambs’ or ‘tools.’ “It means political daath and burial, andsit ought to. The people of this State have been told times enough who and whatthis fellow Buckley is to. make then ‘copper’ him on all occasions. We are asking Eastern people to come here with their money ‘and their families, but will the present rate of taxation be an easy thing to explain as an inducement to leave States where the whole! tax is less than half a cent on the dol? lar?” Will: men move with their wives and little ones into a State that is run by a gin-mill Boss?’ ‘Look here, Pard,’’ said I, ‘ain’t you plustering it on pretty thick? How do you know that Buckley ran the late Assembly? And iurther, what was done bythe late Legislature that has excited your ire? It was said that Yell’s Police bill was the pariicular child of Buckley and the one he tried the hardest to get throigh. If he had the call on the Assembly» as you seem to think, why didn’t that measure go through?” ‘*Well,’' said the Old Man, ‘don’t you know there is a liniit to what. an Assemblyman dare do? He is apt once in a while to cast Ris eye over his shoulder to see what his constituents thinks abont his doings. Two fellows went into a farmer’s shed in the night where hung a fine dressed hog. They wanted the whole of it, but-questioned their ability to get away with it, So they concluded to be honest as to one half of it. It isn’t always a good plan to go for everything there is in sight. You want to know what Iam mad about? I’ll tell you. I expected to see taxation reduced, and to do this I expected to see-the States’ expenses cut down, But what did we get? An increase of four millions of dollars for the next two years and the Legislature itself the most outrageously expensive of any that has met for years! One measure that would have relieved the people of this State of a burden of at-least two hundred-and-fifty thousand dollars a year was defeated for' no other reason that I can understand, except Buckley. I speak of the Mutual Insurance bill. If this extra four millions would be carefully spent for the interests of the people, we would not complain; but it was notorious about Sacramento that such was not the purpose for which the appropriations were made.” “Well,” I asked, ‘‘what are you going to do about it?’ ‘‘That’s the old Tweed. question, but Bill Tweed died in Ludlow-Street ‘Jail. The people can be hoodwinked for a good while, but at last they get ‘. at the truth, and woe to those en whom their wrath falls, It were better for that man that the great mill stone were tied to his neck and he was cast into the sea.

A DESPERATE STRUGGLE. ANight With the Excelsior Whist Club. Mrs. J. M. Hadley entertained the Excelsior Whist Club Monday evening,. The usual number. of players (20) were on hand at half past eight. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The President, Mrs. Emily Rolfe, announced that the election of oflicefs for the ensuing term of the months would be held Moiiday evening, April lst. ‘There seems to be a desire to reelect the present officers, but they object to serve two consecutive terms. The meetings are growing more enjoyable each week, and members declare there shall be no vacation’ nor disbanding of the ciub. It’s going to continue indefinitely. : At nine o’clock cards were drawn and earnest work began. The twenty-five games: were finished in two hours and correct.returns were handed in. Ihe score Showed twenty-three points won by two couples, viz = John-—V. Hunter and Miss Lucy Bobo, William Giffin and Mrs. W. H. Jackson. Here was a tie for first prize and everybody became excited, especially the ‘big’ four.”’ It was proposed to “saw off” for prizes and that method was adopt-. ed. The four seated themselves at the table and the ladies cut for deal— “Miss Bobo won, The members crowded around the table and eagerly watched the play. The players were so wrought up they could hardly hotd the cards. “An outsider would have thought a brick house was at stake so intense was the feeling of players and Spectators, It was ‘‘Giff’s” first play and he was so agitated he didn’t know what to lead, He has never played for anything but marbles, therefore it is not surprising that he lost his ferve and led the card which lost. His adversaries had 8 tramps, the ace of hearts and ace of diamonds. . Spades were tumps. ‘‘G.ff” led the 4-spot of trumps and the fourth hand took it with an 8-spot. That settled it, but everybody didn’t~ know” it; Every card that was played from that time on had wings onit. They would sail down on the table and scoot off again hke a humming bird. The ladies trembled so their bangles sounded ike tambourines. Hunter and “Gift” mopped. their brows and looked as savagely-at each other as Apaches on the warpath> very one present took sides and talked with both hands, One of tine ladies became 80 nervous She exclaimed, ‘‘For Heaven’s sake, let’s give’ib to them.” “Not by a globe sight!” shouted “Giff.” The other lady begged to go out to get fresh air or she would. faint." Hunter glured at her and bringing his fist down on the tuble yelled, ‘‘Not by a mill site! Stay where yeu are or I'll hammer the table into — kindling wood.”’ This frightened the lady and she threw down a handful of trumps and took all the tricks. Thus ended one of the most exciting card contests on record, The prizes were worth fighting for as was discovered when they were presented by Mr, Hadley to Mr. Hunter and Miss Bobo, “Giff,”’ defeated, sore and discongolate, would not be comforted till it was announced that I. J, Rolfe and Mrs. Giffin had knocked the booby off the bush. Then he jumped up = and screamed with delight, Things quieted down and lunch was served. Geo, E. Turner was at his best and told Missouri stories till all hands were laughing so they could hardly eat. Mr, Hunter, Br. Dobo and Mr. W. H. Jackson favored the company with suloson the violin, after which the club adjourned to meet at the residence of Mrs, Lester on Monday evening next. oo OOO A Law About Burials, About now goes into effect a law passed by the last Legislature providing that no person shall be buried in the State until those in charge of the interment shall’ have first obtained and placed on record a statement signed by a coroner, justice of the peace or two reputable citizens giving the age, name, sex and color of the deceased, also a physician’s certificate setting forth the cause of death,. The penalty for non-observance of this law is imprisonment in the county jail for not to exceed one year, a fine not to exceed $1,000, or both fine and iimprisonment. / Hiotel Improvement.

To use a homely but expressive term, “‘times are dall,’”? and business men who seek patronage must hold out a substantial inducement for it. The public are not to be misled by meretricious offerings. They have outgrown the.giudy chromo and. the like, and demand dollar for dollar. The man with something te sell— be it influence, votes, speeches, land, dry goods, groceries or even newspapers—must prove to the people who are bargain hunting that he has just what they want, and that it is, not only of the best quality but offered at the lowest prices. ~ ; If he cannot do this he might as well shut up shop first as last. The Transcrier publishers long ago had a full realization of the situation, and have endeavored to conduct their business so as to meet the requirements: How well they have sncceeded is best demonstrated by the steady growth of Whatever success and popularity the Trans: this paper’s subscription list. cript has attained has been based on its endeavors tou keep pace with the demand in the matter of news-giving. And now le.ving generalities, let us consider cold, practical details. Not content with giving their patrons the San Francisco Daily Call for $3 a-year (half-price), the Weekly Call for nothing (less than half price) and the Texas Siftings for 50 cents -# year (one-eighth price)—these prices will be increased on April 15th, remember— the Transcrirr has nearly completed arrangements for offering the largest and most desirable line of premiums, such as solid gold and silverWaltham baseball photographing ‘‘kits,” firearms, sewwatches, outfits, amateur ing machines, tennis and croquet‘seta, telescopes, microscopes, hammocks, tents, etc., every before advertised by any Pacific Coast premium giver. These articles will in connection: with the San Francisco Bulletin at -half price or less be supplied to new-subscribers for the Transcript at a discount on the manufacturers” wholesale prices, The full particulars as to this great surprise Offer will soon be made public. It will remain open but a limited time, and those who desire to enjoy its benefits should not delay. Due notice will be given in these columns of the inaughration-of the plan. Ten Obstinate Men. The Grass Valley Union is extremely sore-headed over the outcome of the Lord trial. Jt has no patience with the ten obstinate men who would not agree with those two brainy and deepthinking gentlemen named Torpie and Sleeman. The Union says: ‘After the jury was discharged Messrs. Torpie and Sleeman received much attention from the citizens of Nevada City, who gathered about them and congratulated them for remaining true to their convictions of duty, and it was proposed to banquet them, but this was declined, The other members of the jury did not receive like attention, and some of them were actually hooted when they appeared on the streets.” The Union accuses three of the ten of “getting bilin’ drunk’’ when they were releaced from the jury room,and otherwise reflects upon the manliness and self-respect of those who were so rash as to dare to disagree with Torpie and Sleeman. The Union was the only daily paper in the county that lacked the fairaess and enterprise to have a reporter in constant attendance upon the trial. The Union should confine its remarks to bubject it knows something about and not make itself ridiculovs by sloshing around so. : A Philadelphia dispatch of Tuesday says: ‘‘A special tothe Ledger contains an eccount of the Edison concentrator, which concentrates real ore dug from the mines, ridding it by mechanical means of all dirt and earthly matter that interferes with smelting. It makes possible the profitable working of low-grade ore.’’ This invention is probably on a par with the. ‘‘drywashing’? processes for working gravel. : eA rea Es See ar Swept by the Tide of Popularity To the topmost pinnacle of success, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters stand a shining proof of what genuine merit, backed by the living force of proven facts, can attain. ‘The North and South American continents, Europe, Australia, theWest Indies, Guatemala and Mexico have all contributed wide patronage and testimony of the most favorable kind—but. unsolicited—to swell the reputation of this sterlin, remedy, Among the maladies for which the most convincing public and professional testimony proves that it is a benign curative, are chills and fever bilious remittent, dumb ague cake,dyspepsia, liver complaint, nervousness, debility, kidney and’ bladder complaints.

We eat by system, so many times a day, and at such and such hours. We sleep by measurements. We dress by rule. We, ped get all. our gala days in before and crowd our summer pleasures into two small weeks and keep pace with this ceaseless, clook-like clinking round of system; and then to add the final cap-stone— the Sunday-school specialists have caught the spell and cry system, system, system.” And so it is, and so it will be. The successful teacher will jhave system. Like the uniyerse about us, every thing that operates harmoniously runs by system—' not in ruts, but by a wholesome, generous, life-infusing system. ! , System in preparation is essential in securing well-digested teaching material, Contact with the ideas that underlie every lesson will produce ideas upon the lesson: A habit of going regularly to the fountain will keep the teacher desiring to go. It will proMany a teacher’ looking at the topic produces a talk. It were better to talk over the lesson and produce a topic. Topics born of careful and systematic preparation produce teaching points, and teaching points are rivets of truth which can be fastened inside and outside of the student's life and character. System in preparation will produce material and power in teaching: One must. not have all system— husky, unserviceable system. General Braddock, who attempted to fight the Indiane near Fort Du Quesne, used system without sense, and his army would “have altogether perished had not young Washington covered tlie retreat with a sensible system of caution and bravery. Syatem in preparation and teaching is like a foundation and frame-work in building—it constitutes the preliminaries about which you are going to spread the lasting effects of truth. And again, system in teaching has another likeness to foundations. structor begins with what the pupil already knows, and from what the pupil knows, direct to what may be ‘new’? and unknown, This might be illustrated in the lesson on‘*‘The Timid Woman's Touch,” by referring to diseases that are common among people: “;=8 sore upon “thie hand, a patch of scrofula—and work up the conception of a running sore lasting twelve yoars in ite ravages, and at length cured by some skillful physician.

Or is it a merit'in &@ woman to captivate a ‘giided numbskull, that they should immediately levy blackmail upon alb their‘friends; aye, -and even their bare acquaintances? Doubtless there is a considerable amount of shrewdness and perseverance displayed in the pursuit;-hence it may be considered a highly meritorious action whe two young people succeed in the endeavor to make each other miserable ‘for life. But why should we, who are not in the smallest degree gainers by. the interesting event, open our sometimes sparsely-lined purses in-order to give cither gentleman or his betrothed a wedding present4 If aman goes up’ to the city daily for the purpose of making money, . the world says he is a shrewd fellow, with no. fool's flesh about bim; and if by any chance he may make a lucky coup upon the stock exchange, or in whatever business he may devote his labors to the worship of the golden calf,his friends will cither say he has the luck of Lucifer, or perhaps that he is # hard-headed, steady worker, and deserves his coveted prizo. They do not rush off to Regent street in search of some costly tribute;-rather would-they expect him to benefit them tn some way in giving a little dinner at Kiohmond or Greenwich. Why then should a man, because his friend writes to him saying: My darling Chriscable has -promised to make me the happiest of men," immediately begin to rack his brains in order to discover what he shall buy as a suitable wedding present? Would it not be far more sensible, and perhaps more heartfelt, if he wrote to his friend and wished him joy of hia great good luck in winning thro lady of his love? Surely there would be more real feeling in such a course than in the little packet which is sent straight from the silversmith’s, with Tom Smith's or John Jones’ compliments. At any rate, there would not be the feeling of loss attached to the action which must in many cases render the announcement of % friend’s bliss a subject rather of annoyance than of gratification. There are few people who are not glad to hear of a friend’s projected marriage,and perhaps there are few also who do not feel the imposition of the wedding preaent business, ; Returned to George III, “ Roger Wolcott, at a meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, alluded tothe fact that the equestrian statue of King George, in the city of New York, after having been pulled down, was carried to Litchfield, Conn, and was buried in the field of Oliver Wolcott, Governor of the Btate. Being’made of lead, it was cast into bullets by his children, and these were distributed among the soldiers, so that it wus said that it was returned to his Majesty's troops with the compliments of the men of Connecticut. Ap . ‘The Eliminated “ Obey.” ~~ Lillie Devereux Blake says that the word “obey’’ should be omitted from the marriage service. Fashionable society is beee to agree with her, for many of the wides of the last few months failed to promise obedience to their husbands as they stood atthe altar. Perhaps the time is not far distant when it willbe the custom for the bridegroom to repeat the word which 80 many brides at present find obnoxious.

Progress ana Prosperity of Nevada County’s New Colony. « W. B. Hayford can be seen at the Park almost any day superintending the work of land clearing and tree planting, which are being more. extensively prosecuted there than at any . other point in the county except per“haps in Pet Hill district where the Excelsior Company, Mr. Segestrand, Mr. Driesbach and others are converting what was afew years ago a comparatively unproductivo region into oae of the most attractive garden-spots in the foothills. Hr. Haven, a civil engineer from Minnesota who has acquired a com. petency and retired from the active pursuit of bis profession, a short time ago arrived at Chicago Park and made a careful inspection of the new Nevada county colony’s lands. Without investing he took-his departure and made a four of observation through the San Joaquin, SantaClara andother valleys whose lands are so famous for their productiveness and whose climate is so much lauded. He has now returned to Chicago Park. satisfied that no -other locality holds out_so-many-inducements of the most desirable character, and having purchased a ten acre tract there will build himself a fine honse, plant vines and trees and settle down to enjoy the balance of his days._ He wants no_more of “Minnesota winters and blizzards, after a taste of the entrancing climate of the Nevada county Bartlett pear belt. Four-score and more of able-bodied laborers are busily engaged in clearing and planting the Park lands. Arrangements for the , building of the new and beautiful hotel are--progressing satisfactorily, and on a basis}. that ensures the erection of even a finer structure than was at first pro~~ Superior Court.

On Friday evening of next week Nevada City is to be favored with a visit by the renowned Royce & Lansing Musical Comedy Co. This company, it will be remembsred, made a decided success on the Pacific coast about one year ago. They return from the East with an enlarged company of the best talent that could be obtained, and their program is far superior to any that has been presented by them during the past nine years. Their present. season cannot fail to add thousands of friends and fresh laurele to those already gained. All those wishing to enjoy an evening of refined music and comedy should secure seats at once. Died of Pneumonia. James L. Stevens, who worked recently at the Delhi mine, died at this city Tuesday morning of pneumonia. He had been ill about a week.

Pard. brought out the Transorrer that said the Legislature had adjourned, and after reading it a few moments remarked : “Well, I see they have quit.” ‘Who hus quit and what?” I asked. “That would be hard to tell,” he answered, ‘further than that the California, Legislature has quit.’ “But why do you say they have “quit’—only that and nothing more ?”’ 'T asked. ‘Because, from what I learn from the Sacramento and San Francisco papers, law-making is not the only thing that has stopped. Somehow, the Legislature, or rather this Assembly, that has just adjourned, has left the most unsavory odor behind it of any that ever got together in this State. I remember the ‘Assembly of a thousand drinks,’ thé Stanford Legislature, the Swamp Land and Mud Flats Legislature, and one that was said at the time to contain more real, good, scientific poker players than could be got together in any other State in the Union: Well, the latter is not the worst reputation such a body might have by any means, A man to be a good poker player must be cool as a cucumber, as sharp as a needle, a good judge of men, andmust possess the courage of his convictions. Moreover, I have generally found men that played high to be good fellows, square in their dealings and careiul of their reputations. There are exceptions, of course. I don’t hear or read of but one thing about the Assembly that has just adjourned—and that is that it was a weak, corrupt crowd. There. were some-ygood men in it, but on every question whenBuss Buckley choose to wield his influence he overruled right and the best interest of the State. Could a worse reputation be attached to any man than that he followed the lead of this .Boss?. I believe Ewould rather be called a horse. thief and net_ be able. to say I was uot, than—te—be—ealHed—oneof Buckley's ‘lambs’ or ‘tools.’ “It means political daath and burial, andsit ought to. The people of this State have been told times enough who and whatthis fellow Buckley is to. make then ‘copper’ him on all occasions. We are asking Eastern people to come here with their money ‘and their families, but will the present rate of taxation be an easy thing to explain as an inducement to leave States where the whole! tax is less than half a cent on the dol? lar?” Will: men move with their wives and little ones into a State that is run by a gin-mill Boss?’ ‘Look here, Pard,’’ said I, ‘ain’t you plustering it on pretty thick? How do you know that Buckley ran the late Assembly? And iurther, what was done bythe late Legislature that has excited your ire? It was said that Yell’s Police bill was the pariicular child of Buckley and the one he tried the hardest to get throigh. If he had the call on the Assembly» as you seem to think, why didn’t that measure go through?” ‘*Well,’' said the Old Man, ‘don’t you know there is a liniit to what. an Assemblyman dare do? He is apt once in a while to cast Ris eye over his shoulder to see what his constituents thinks abont his doings. Two fellows went into a farmer’s shed in the night where hung a fine dressed hog. They wanted the whole of it, but-questioned their ability to get away with it, So they concluded to be honest as to one half of it. It isn’t always a good plan to go for everything there is in sight. You want to know what Iam mad about? I’ll tell you. I expected to see taxation reduced, and to do this I expected to see-the States’ expenses cut down, But what did we get? An increase of four millions of dollars for the next two years and the Legislature itself the most outrageously expensive of any that has met for years! One measure that would have relieved the people of this State of a burden of at-least two hundred-and-fifty thousand dollars a year was defeated for' no other reason that I can understand, except Buckley. I speak of the Mutual Insurance bill. If this extra four millions would be carefully spent for the interests of the people, we would not complain; but it was notorious about Sacramento that such was not the purpose for which the appropriations were made.” “Well,” I asked, ‘‘what are you going to do about it?’ ‘‘That’s the old Tweed. question, but Bill Tweed died in Ludlow-Street ‘Jail. The people can be hoodwinked for a good while, but at last they get ‘. at the truth, and woe to those en whom their wrath falls, It were better for that man that the great mill stone were tied to his neck and he was cast into the sea.

A DESPERATE STRUGGLE. ANight With the Excelsior Whist Club. Mrs. J. M. Hadley entertained the Excelsior Whist Club Monday evening,. The usual number. of players (20) were on hand at half past eight. The minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. The President, Mrs. Emily Rolfe, announced that the election of oflicefs for the ensuing term of the months would be held Moiiday evening, April lst. ‘There seems to be a desire to reelect the present officers, but they object to serve two consecutive terms. The meetings are growing more enjoyable each week, and members declare there shall be no vacation’ nor disbanding of the ciub. It’s going to continue indefinitely. : At nine o’clock cards were drawn and earnest work began. The twenty-five games: were finished in two hours and correct.returns were handed in. Ihe score Showed twenty-three points won by two couples, viz = John-—V. Hunter and Miss Lucy Bobo, William Giffin and Mrs. W. H. Jackson. Here was a tie for first prize and everybody became excited, especially the ‘big’ four.”’ It was proposed to “saw off” for prizes and that method was adopt-. ed. The four seated themselves at the table and the ladies cut for deal— “Miss Bobo won, The members crowded around the table and eagerly watched the play. The players were so wrought up they could hardly hotd the cards. “An outsider would have thought a brick house was at stake so intense was the feeling of players and Spectators, It was ‘‘Giff’s” first play and he was so agitated he didn’t know what to lead, He has never played for anything but marbles, therefore it is not surprising that he lost his ferve and led the card which lost. His adversaries had 8 tramps, the ace of hearts and ace of diamonds. . Spades were tumps. ‘‘G.ff” led the 4-spot of trumps and the fourth hand took it with an 8-spot. That settled it, but everybody didn’t~ know” it; Every card that was played from that time on had wings onit. They would sail down on the table and scoot off again hke a humming bird. The ladies trembled so their bangles sounded ike tambourines. Hunter and “Gift” mopped. their brows and looked as savagely-at each other as Apaches on the warpath> very one present took sides and talked with both hands, One of tine ladies became 80 nervous She exclaimed, ‘‘For Heaven’s sake, let’s give’ib to them.” “Not by a globe sight!” shouted “Giff.” The other lady begged to go out to get fresh air or she would. faint." Hunter glured at her and bringing his fist down on the tuble yelled, ‘‘Not by a mill site! Stay where yeu are or I'll hammer the table into — kindling wood.”’ This frightened the lady and she threw down a handful of trumps and took all the tricks. Thus ended one of the most exciting card contests on record, The prizes were worth fighting for as was discovered when they were presented by Mr, Hadley to Mr. Hunter and Miss Bobo, “Giff,”’ defeated, sore and discongolate, would not be comforted till it was announced that I. J, Rolfe and Mrs. Giffin had knocked the booby off the bush. Then he jumped up = and screamed with delight, Things quieted down and lunch was served. Geo, E. Turner was at his best and told Missouri stories till all hands were laughing so they could hardly eat. Mr, Hunter, Br. Dobo and Mr. W. H. Jackson favored the company with suloson the violin, after which the club adjourned to meet at the residence of Mrs, Lester on Monday evening next. oo OOO A Law About Burials, About now goes into effect a law passed by the last Legislature providing that no person shall be buried in the State until those in charge of the interment shall’ have first obtained and placed on record a statement signed by a coroner, justice of the peace or two reputable citizens giving the age, name, sex and color of the deceased, also a physician’s certificate setting forth the cause of death,. The penalty for non-observance of this law is imprisonment in the county jail for not to exceed one year, a fine not to exceed $1,000, or both fine and iimprisonment. / Hiotel Improvement.

To use a homely but expressive term, “‘times are dall,’”? and business men who seek patronage must hold out a substantial inducement for it. The public are not to be misled by meretricious offerings. They have outgrown the.giudy chromo and. the like, and demand dollar for dollar. The man with something te sell— be it influence, votes, speeches, land, dry goods, groceries or even newspapers—must prove to the people who are bargain hunting that he has just what they want, and that it is, not only of the best quality but offered at the lowest prices. ~ ; If he cannot do this he might as well shut up shop first as last. The Transcrier publishers long ago had a full realization of the situation, and have endeavored to conduct their business so as to meet the requirements: How well they have sncceeded is best demonstrated by the steady growth of Whatever success and popularity the Trans: this paper’s subscription list. cript has attained has been based on its endeavors tou keep pace with the demand in the matter of news-giving. And now le.ving generalities, let us consider cold, practical details.

It will remain open but a limited time, and those who desire to enjoy its benefits should not delay. Due notice will be given in these columns of the inaughration-of the plan. Ten Obstinate Men. The Grass Valley Union is extremely sore-headed over the outcome of the Lord trial. Jt has no patience with the ten obstinate men who would not agree with those two brainy and deepthinking gentlemen named Torpie and Sleeman. The Union says: ‘After the jury was discharged Messrs. Torpie and Sleeman received much attention from the citizens of Nevada City, who gathered about them and congratulated them for remaining true to their convictions of duty, and it was proposed to banquet them, but this was declined, The other members of the jury did not receive like attention, and some of them were actually hooted when they appeared on the streets.” The Union accuses three of the ten of “getting bilin’ drunk’’ when they were releaced from the jury room,and otherwise reflects upon the manliness and self-respect of those who were so rash as to dare to disagree with Torpie and Sleeman. The Union was the only daily paper in the county that lacked the fairaess and enterprise to have a reporter in constant attendance upon the trial. The Union should confine its remarks to bubject it knows something about and not make itself ridiculovs by sloshing around so. : A Philadelphia dispatch of Tuesday says: ‘‘A special tothe Ledger contains an eccount of the Edison concentrator, which concentrates real ore dug from the mines, ridding it by mechanical means of all dirt and earthly matter that interferes with smelting. It makes possible the profitable working of low-grade ore.’’ This invention is probably on a par with the. ‘‘drywashing’? processes for working gravel. : eA rea Es See ar Swept by the Tide of Popularity To the topmost pinnacle of success, Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters stand a shining proof of what genuine merit,

backed by the living force of proven facts, can attain. ‘The North and South American continents, Europe, Australia, theWest Indies, Guatemala and Mexico have all contributed wide patronage and testimony of the most favorable kind—but. unsolicited—to swell the reputation of this sterlin, remedy, Among the maladies for which the most convincing public and professional testimony proves that it is a benign curative, are chills and fever bilious remittent, dumb ague cake,dyspepsia, liver complaint, nervousness, debility, kidney and’ bladder complaints.

We eat by system, so many times a day, and at such and such hours. We sleep by measurements. We dress by rule. We, ped get all. our gala days in before and crowd our summer pleasures into two small weeks and keep pace with this ceaseless, clook-like clinking round of system; and then to add the final cap-stone— the Sunday-school specialists have caught the spell and cry system, system, system.” And so it is, and so it will be. The successful teacher will jhave system. Like the uniyerse about us, every thing that operates harmoniously runs by system—' not in ruts, but by a wholesome, generous, life-infusing system. ! , System in preparation is essential in securing well-digested teaching material, Contact with the ideas that underlie every lesson will produce ideas upon the lesson: A habit of going regularly to the fountain will keep the teacher desiring to go. It will proMany a teacher’ looking at the topic produces a talk. It were better to talk over the lesson and produce a topic. Topics born of careful and systematic preparation produce teaching points, and teaching points are rivets of truth which can be fastened inside and outside of the student's life and character. System in preparation will produce material and power in teaching: One must. not have all system— husky, unserviceable system. General Braddock, who attempted to fight the Indiane near Fort Du Quesne, used system without sense, and his army would “have altogether perished had not young Washington covered tlie retreat with a sensible system of caution and bravery. Syatem in preparation and teaching is like a foundation and frame-work in building—it constitutes the preliminaries about which you are going to spread the lasting effects of truth. And again, system in teaching has another likeness to foundations. structor begins with what the pupil already knows, and from what the pupil knows, direct to what may be ‘new’? and unknown, This might be illustrated in the lesson on‘*‘The Timid Woman's Touch,” by referring to diseases that are common among people: “;=8 sore upon “thie hand, a patch of scrofula—and work up the conception of a running sore lasting twelve yoars in ite ravages, and at length cured by some skillful physician.

WEDDING PRESENTS, Mothing More Than « Legalised System f of Levying Blackmatl, The world has hitherto bowed its head to blackmail for wedding presents, Is it, aske the London Standard, a merit in a math to woo and win a pretty woman? Or is it a merit'in &@ woman to captivate a ‘giided numbskull, that they should immediately levy blackmail upon alb their‘friends; aye, -and even their bare acquaintances? Doubtless there is a considerable amount of shrewdness and perseverance displayed in the pursuit;-hence it may be considered a highly meritorious action whe two young people succeed in the endeavor to make each other miserable ‘for life. But why should we, who are not in the smallest degree gainers by. the interesting event, open our sometimes sparsely-lined purses in-order to give cither gentleman or his betrothed a wedding present4 If aman goes up’ to the city daily for the purpose of making money, . the world says he is a shrewd fellow, with no. fool's flesh about bim; and if by any chance he may make a lucky coup upon the stock exchange, or in whatever business he may devote his labors to the worship of the golden calf,his friends will cither say he has the luck of Lucifer, or perhaps that he is # hard-headed, steady worker, and deserves his coveted prizo. They do not rush off to Regent street in search of some costly tribute;-rather would-they expect him to benefit them tn some way in giving a little dinner at Kiohmond or Greenwich. Why then should a man, because his friend writes to him saying: My darling Chriscable has -promised to make me the happiest of men," immediately begin to rack his brains in order to discover what he shall buy as a suitable wedding present? Would it not be far more sensible, and perhaps more heartfelt, if he wrote to his friend and wished him joy of hia great good luck in winning thro lady of his love? Surely there would be more real feeling in such a course than in the little packet which is sent straight from the silversmith’s, with Tom Smith's or John Jones’ compliments. At any rate, there would not be the feeling of loss attached to the action which must in many cases render the announcement of % friend’s bliss a subject rather of annoyance than of gratification. There are few people who are not glad to hear of a friend’s projected marriage,and perhaps there are few also who do not feel the imposition of the wedding preaent business, ; Returned to George III, “ Roger Wolcott, at a meeting of the Massachusetts Historical Society, alluded tothe fact that the equestrian statue of King George, in the city of New York, after having been pulled down, was carried to Litchfield, Conn, and was buried in the field of Oliver Wolcott, Governor of the Btate. Being’made of lead, it was cast into bullets by his children, and these were distributed among the soldiers, so that it wus said that it was returned to his Majesty's troops with the compliments of the men of Connecticut. Ap . ‘The Eliminated “ Obey.” ~~ Lillie Devereux Blake says that the word “obey’’ should be omitted from the marriage service. Fashionable society is beee to agree with her, for many of the wides of the last few months failed to promise obedience to their husbands as they stood atthe altar. Perhaps the time is not far distant when it willbe the custom for the bridegroom to repeat the word which 80 many brides at present find obnoxious.
