Mi The lates novelty of the new law ons can testifyin the Courts: The Courts are not permitted to exclude the evidence of any person. This is one of the few rales te which there are no exceptions. The new Codes even provide the way of getting from the State Prison convicts under sensired, on either civil or criminal . trials, . The Court in which the trial “er party to the suit, directs in writing the Sheriff to produce the convict witness, and that officer shows his crder-to the State Prison authorities: who thereupon turn over to him the man wanted. The Sheriff keeps the ' prisoner in custody until he has given his evidence, and then tukes him back to San Quentin. In the CriminalCourt, at San Francisco on Friday last, in the case of two parties who weré brought up for’ sentence, the District Attorney asked that sentence be postponed until the next term of the Court,asthey were material witnesses for the People in another case. The Judge called the District Attorney's “attention to the provision of the law above noticed, and said the prisonerscould be produced at any time when wanted. However, sentence could be reserved if there was any particular reason for-it. The cases were then passed. Of course the new provis\ ion does not contemplate’ that’ thet evidence of convicts shall be received with equal favor to that of other persons. It can be shown, as herétofore, that they dre convicts, and while that fact will not exclude their evidence, it must necessarily affect its ereuibility. Courts and juries will seldom pernnt the evidence of convicted felons to assume the dignity of testimony. = < a Total Wreck. The ship Patrician, which sailed from San Francisco on Friday, foundered and sunkon the Bar with a eargo of wheat for Cork, valued at seventy thousand dollars. She had cleared the outer edge of the Bar, but a heavy ground swell was run_ ning; about 5 Pp. m. there wae heard a crash which shook the ship from The pumps were set at work, gans fired and rockets sent “up, the water gained rapidly in the hold and in three minutes.there wag seven feet of water there, The ship was put about and headed for pert, but it was evident she must godown,. the Captain finally ran her around on a four fathom bank, ‘where she now lies with her rigging visible above the waves, Her officers and crew numbered twenty-one; no pasy_ engers. All hands got off on board . the pilot boat, which returned to San Francisco--with them. The vessel and cargo isatotal loss. Whether wreck itis not known, a+ fe >; Dear Dack, . On Tiiesday, an -individual, . well known in Truckee, without asking leave, abstracted a-dead duck from the lunch stand in one of the saloons in town. The ‘‘taking,” or: theft, was witnessed by several persons. He was interviewd privately and informed that one dollar, cash in hand, would pay for the dead duck. This, however, reflected upon his dignity, and indignantly refused to pay for the aforesaid sum of one dollar, or make restitution of the bird. The individual was thereupon arrested and introduced to Justice Keiser, “He plead “not guilty,” relying, we utation for honesty ‘and good intentions for an acquittal, but as the proof against him was. positive. he was convicted without much ceremony. The Court sentenced him to pay.a fine of $75, or rot for half that number of days in the County Jail. We understand says the Pepublican, the fine was paid. The duck wastaken as a joke, we understand, but it proved rather serious: ' A youne man who has passed himscIf off as ‘an English nobleman, and who spent ‘considerable indney at Bastport, Me., while there a short time ago, turns out to be a St. John _lerk who borrowed a sum of money }at that plac e and cleared out, ed themselves of invitations fo visit . leading Chinese housés of Sat Frabcisco and partake of the hospitalities of the inmates, the principal desire being to witness the curious eustoms of the Orient.

She elluded all the men and mingled among thé social lights of ®an Francisco with similar #ffect. She came here to avoid the rigors of an Eastern winter and to visit friends of her youth, and, until. her visit to the Chinese quarters, was happy and contented, even thé gayest of the gay. In the accountant of a large tea store she met, as she thought, -her fate and at once fell in love with him. He isan intelligent Celestial, of a graceful figure’ and manly. bearing,taller than the ayerage of his countrymen and appar-. ently about twenty-six years of age. His complexion is fresh, clear and nearly white, his cheeks showing just a dash of the rnddy tint of the pippin, and his teeth seem very pearls, She was first attracted toward ,him by the rapidity with which he figured through the aid of his button rack, and. after an introduction, was captivated by the charms of his conversation and especially his analysis of Confucian lore. The young accountant was also smitten by cupid’s dart and by his delicate attention in vogue in polite life, allowed the fair inainorta to see that he was willing to be a-captive. After the young lady had returned with her frienéls she the nicest gentleman she had ever met, Noone thought Strangely of this remark and no special attention was paid toit, But astime passed away and the young lady continued to praise the Celestial, and there was an increase, rather than an abatement of her regard for him, her San Francisco friends called her to account and endeavored to change her taste. All remonstrance failed to wean her affection from the Celestial, and the case each day assumed a more hopeless feature. Theabnormal affection intensified and seemed ‘incurable, and an estrangement between herself and friends occurred on this account and there wus » social earthquake in the home she figured as a guest. -FheBulletin says her friends were finally compelled to hasten her return eastward, to avert an alliance that would have rent the atmosphere of social propriety like a thunderbolt. i 4 > A DECISION of much interest to insurance companies, as well as to parties insured, was recently made b the Court divided the drinking portion of the population into three more by accident than otherwise, but in so exceptionable a manner that they cannot be regarded as being addicted to the use of spirituous liquors; those who acquire a constant appetite for a regular habit of using alco‘holic stimulants, and those who remain sober for weeks, months, or it may be years, but’ who go upon periodical sprees, keeping up the debauch for a longer or shorter period. The case decided was_in_relation to a man who died about _ten_months after he’had taken out apolicy. His death was caused by excessive drink. ing after the policy of insurance had that he belonged to that class of drinkers whose constitutionally nervous appetite for alcoholic stimulants amounted to a disease. The ‘decision was in favor of the insurance company, and the Court held that the two latter classes named came within the prohibition of the poliey, which stipulated that if the insured should die by reason of intemperance from the use of intoxica}null.and void.——. ‘Daring the recent season of Celestial festivities many Americans availremarked that the Celestiat-clerk-wast ade by . ont their consent, . pa _,. fhe strock s-bank-or-some sunken . tie Supreme Court of Obio,in which .

McDermotand wife and Charles Main and wife—a party of four. Mr. and Mrs. Majn, who were walking ahead, turned to look at some pictures in a show window, when they, aswell as other persons in the immediate vicinity, were startled by the report. of’tlve discharge of a firearm. Mr. Main turned, and as he did so, saw a woman standing on the middle ‘of the sidewalz with a pistol inher hand, which she held in the direc. tion of-McDermot’s head. He, at the weapon, disarmed her and placed. her in charge of an officer. The prisoner is an unmarried woman, moved with . avout thirty years ef_age. Her name is Lizzie Gannon, and she has been blandishiiénts of New York~gentte‘tn-this State about eight years.—_Duar-. ing most of that time she has been a-servant for different families Hiving in Sat Jose. She went to San Francisco abotittwo -weeks ago from that place, and took-ap her residence with afamily named Cosgrove. She steted in presence of several~parties in the office of the Chief of Polize. that she had shot at Mr. McDermot aiid that she was very sorry she had not killed him; that he had got her bard earnings—the savings of eight year’s labor y ‘and thaf although he had bought others off he could not buy ber off. She declined to say anything more, or give any explanation of her remarks, but said that when the case came -up for a hearing she would: have ‘an: opportunity to explain herself. Mr. McDermot, who, some little time since, was’ married to Mrs. Main, and whose marriage was the topic of conversation in fash4 {ionable.circles for several days,stated. at Police Headquarters that he had no knowledge of the woman; was unacquainted with her; but though that he had seen her one before. -He also stated that he knewof no reason why she should have made an attempt to take his life, = On it” Badly. un : We. stated a few.days’ ago that Frink was ‘‘on it,’’ and proved it by an extract from the Truckee Republiean.

To all such we will say that if they have been omitted on the political slate such omission was unintentional on our-part. We will state to all such that if any damage has been done them it can be repaired. It is not too late. Eleventh hour candidates are just as good and likely to succeed as those who came first.

At that time little hdd been secured, and it was feared that the harvest would prove a failure. Mr. Hale, President of the Nevada Ice Company, informs the Republican that they have secured about seven thousand . tons. “This amount does not include nearly one ‘thousand tons obtained and stored at their. works at Quaker Hill, near’ Neyada City, They expect to make 500 tons moré<at Camp 16, near Boca, and with that rea will close their ice harvest for thi season.

Theabnormal affection intensified and seemed ‘incurable, and an estrangement between herself and friends occurred on this account and there wus » social earthquake in the home she figured as a guest. -FheBulletin says her friends were finally compelled to hasten her return eastward, to avert an alliance that would have rent the atmosphere of social propriety like a thunderbolt. i 4 > A DECISION of much interest to insurance companies, as well as to parties insured, was recently made b the Court divided the drinking portion of the population into three more by accident than otherwise, but in so exceptionable a manner that they cannot be regarded as being addicted to the use of spirituous liquors; those who acquire a constant appetite for a regular habit of using alco‘holic stimulants, and those who remain sober for weeks, months, or it may be years, but’ who go upon periodical sprees, keeping up the debauch for a longer or shorter period. The case decided was_in_relation to a man who died about _ten_months after he’had taken out apolicy. His death was caused by excessive drink. ing after the policy of insurance had that he belonged to that class of drinkers whose constitutionally nervous appetite for alcoholic stimulants amounted to a disease. The ‘decision was in favor of the insurance company, and the Court held that the two latter classes named came within the prohibition of the poliey, which stipulated that if the insured should die by reason of intemperance from the use of intoxica}null.and void.——. ‘Daring the recent season of Celestial festivities many Americans availremarked that the Celestiat-clerk-wast ade by . ont their consent, . pa _,. fhe strock s-bank-or-some sunken . tie Supreme Court of Obio,in which .

Mr. and Mrs. Majn, who were walking ahead, turned to look at some pictures in a show window, when they, aswell as other persons in the immediate vicinity, were startled by the report. of’tlve discharge of a firearm. Mr. Main turned, and as he did so, saw a woman standing on the middle ‘of the sidewalz with a pistol inher hand, which she held in the direc. tion of-McDermot’s head. He, at the weapon, disarmed her and placed. her in charge of an officer. The prisoner is an unmarried woman, moved with . avout thirty years ef_age.
