HILE THE LAST GRAND JURY, IN ITS INvestigation of the death of Joseph Griffiths, was) the ensuing term. unable to secure evidence against any person that would warrant a conviction for the crime of murder, as the body of the man had laid undiscovered in a mining shaft for eight months and time had obliterated any direct evidence that might have possibly been secured trom a proper examination of his person, yet that honorable body of men firmly believed from certain circumstances connected with the disappearance of Griffiths, that a murder had been committed. In the Grand Jury’s report a resolution was _ appended requesting Governor Gage to offer a reward for the apprehension and conviction of the murderer. The Governor very promptly offered a State reward of $300, and yesterday the amount of reward was increased to a total of $700 by the wise action of our cotinty Board of Supervisors yesterday, who offered a reward of $400. It is to be hoped that this sum of money will tempt some witness or accessory to the crime (if there was any) into divulging the desired facts of the case, which will result in the conviction and punishment of the guilty person or persons. If $200 was a sufficient amount of reward to induce a person who had the knowledge of the whereabouts of Griffiths’ body to ‘cough up” the information, it is not entirely improbable that a reward of $700 may be the means of inducing someone to tell how Griffiths came to his untimely death or how his body came into the shaft. If the reward does not catise anyone to confess what he or she knows, it will be taken for granted by the general public that there were no witnesses to the tragedy, excepting those who directly assisted in the murder—if more than one committed the crime. At any rate, the truth willbe known some day; if not in the immediate future, the facts will be known in after years when the guilty party is about to shuffle off his mor tal coil. out.” The old saying still holds true that ‘“murder will Going and Coming.

Discovery of Coal In Wales.’ During the reign of Henry VII many attempts wére made to discover eoal in north Wales, and a Shrewsbury man, named Richard Gardner, was the only person who succeeded. The old records read: ‘‘He attemptyd and put into proofe to fynde out coles about the town (Shrewsbury) in soondry placys, and in one place especiall°callyd Ematine Haye, hard by the sayd towne, he found by his great dyligence and troball great store of see cole, the which is lyke to come much commoditie bothe to the riche and poore, that he is not only worthy of commendacon and mayntenance; but also to be had in remembrance for ever.”—Cardiff WestThe Russian Climate. The Russians count upon thelr climate as one means of defense, as it was when Napoleon invaded Russia. Their troops are accordingly trained in winter maneuvers, including loading a battery, with its War transport and ing it for some distance over a difficult; snow covered country and bringing it into action again. A Curious Eating Custom. The Dyaks divide In pairs when the hour arrives for taking food, the father and mother at one platter, two sisters -at.one.and.still.two brothers at -anotber. When the family is not equally divided as to sex, a brother and sister may’ eat together, but this must always be the youngest and oldest of the family. Her Pet Name. “Ab!” he sighed after she had blusbingly whispered “Yes” in his bosom. “My own Mehitabel! Oh, that name’s so formal! Surely your friends use some shorter one, some pet name!” “Well,” she murmured, “the girls at boarding school used to call me Piekles.”—Philadelphia Press: His Mistake. “What curious mistakes men make sometimes! I've just been reading, for instance, that Columbus tmagined thi he had discovered the Indies.” “Ab, I made a worse mista that! When I married thought I’d discovered paradise!” Candid.

Admiral y ‘Schley declined to state the object of his visit, NEW.YORK.CROWDS. fhe Different Ways In Which They Impressed Two Men. “What I like about New York,” remarked a westerner, “is its tremendous energy. The crowds and bustle have upon me the exhilarating effect of a stimulant. As I move along among the masses on the sidewalks and look upon the perpetual stream of vehicles of all descriptions in the streets I am conscious of a buoyancy of spirit and an increased physical energy. “I feel like going all the time, my mind is brighter and clearer, and, in fact, my whole being seems. toned up. New York and its crowds are more beneficial to me than any resort I have ever struck. After a two weeks’ stay here I return home feeling like another man.” \ ; “Well, that Is strange,” said the person to whom this statement was made. “Do you know New York has upon me just exactly the opposite effect. To me what I might term the surplusage of life here is depressing. 1 am by no means fond of solitude. T-save lived in a moderate sized city all my life, and it bores me to stay in the country for any great length of time, but when 1 come to New York and am caught in the tides of humanity, see the overcrowded tenements and have my ears assaulted with the perpetual din of the streets I become positively melancholy. “I feel what an insignificant atom I am, after all—no more than a drop of water In a great river—and the feeling oppresses me. It. seems so like there was nobody here who cared what became of anybody. The only relief I find from the feeling is in the theaters. I go to a show every night while I am here, and of course I enjoy that immensely. But as soon as I have made the rounds of the shows I am ready to return home, where I know most ul erybody and there are many who care.” —New York Times. The Right of Defense. In the course of a trial an English judge is reported to have said: “The laws of God and man both give the party an opportunity to make his defense, if he has any. I remember to have heard it observed by a very learned man upon such an occasion that even God himself did not pass senfence upon Adam before he was called upon to make his defense. ‘Adam,’ says God, ‘where art thou? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof 1 commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the same question was put to Eve also.” re Brain Weight. It is stated by an authority that the weight of a man’s brain has nothing to do with his :nental pewer. It is a ques. tion of climate, not of intellect. The colder the climate, the greater the size of the brain. The largest heads of al} are those of the Chugatshes, who live very far north, and next. come the heads of the Lapps. Her Size. Young Man—I want an engagement ring. Jeweler—Yes, sir; about what size? “I don’t Know exactly, but she can twist me round her finger; if that is any guide.” Outlaw Killed. Hevexa, ‘Mont. Jan. 6 —-Alonzo Kilby and Roy Hoffman, two prison ers who escaped from the County Jail at Billings a week: ago, were cape tured near the Chandler ranch yesterday, sixty miles northwest of Billings, but not’ before Kilby had been fatally shot. Ever since their escape Kilby and Hoffman, who is only fourteen years of age, have been hiding in the Musselshell eountry. A posse located. them Friday. _ Kilby opened fire, and was himeelf shot. He died in a few hours. \A Greal Posioffice. WaSsHINGTON, January 6—Representative Cummings of New York, today introduced in the House a bill to appropriate $2,600,008 for a new post offiee building in New York City. RAILWAY RUMBLES.

The crowds and bustle have upon me the exhilarating effect of a stimulant. As I move along among the masses on the sidewalks and look upon the perpetual stream of vehicles of all descriptions in the streets I am conscious of a buoyancy of spirit and an increased physical energy. “I feel like going all the time, my mind is brighter and clearer, and, in fact, my whole being seems. toned up. New York and its crowds are more beneficial to me than any resort I have ever struck. After a two weeks’ stay here I return home feeling like another man.” \ ; “Well, that Is strange,” said the person to whom this statement was made. “Do you know New York has upon me just exactly the opposite effect. To me what I might term the surplusage of life here is depressing. 1 am by no means fond of solitude. T-save lived in a moderate sized city all my life, and it bores me to stay in the country for any great length of time, but when 1 come to New York and am caught in the tides of humanity, see the overcrowded tenements and have my ears assaulted with the perpetual din of the streets I become positively melancholy. “I feel what an insignificant atom I am, after all—no more than a drop of water In a great river—and the feeling oppresses me. It. seems so like there was nobody here who cared what became of anybody. The only relief I find from the feeling is in the theaters. I go to a show every night while I am here, and of course I enjoy that immensely. But as soon as I have made the rounds of the shows I am ready to return home, where I know most ul erybody and there are many who care.” —New York Times. The Right of Defense. In the course of a trial an English judge is reported to have said: “The laws of God and man both give the party an opportunity to make his defense, if he has any. I remember to have heard it observed by a very learned man upon such an occasion that even God himself did not pass senfence upon Adam before he was called upon to make his defense. ‘Adam,’ says God, ‘where art thou? Hast thou eaten of the tree whereof 1 commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? And the same question was put to Eve also.” re Brain Weight. It is stated by an authority that the weight of a man’s brain has nothing to do with his :nental pewer. It is a ques. tion of climate, not of intellect. The colder the climate, the greater the size of the brain. The largest heads of al} are those of the Chugatshes, who live very far north, and next. come the heads of the Lapps. Her Size. Young Man—I want an engagement ring. Jeweler—Yes, sir; about what size? “I don’t Know exactly, but she can twist me round her finger; if that is any guide.” Outlaw Killed. Hevexa, ‘Mont.
