Pennsylvania Engine Company's Receptien—A Happy Time. — The pleasant and commodiis hall of Pennsylvania Engine Campany was made extra cheerful Wednesday evening by reason of a reception given there under the auspices of the Pennsy) vanians, and at which were present as invited guests the members of NeGaylord, Sukeforth and Locklin of the Board of City Trustees, also representatives of the local papers. A table extending lengthwise of the hall was spread with a fine collation which included sundry tempting ediblés in abundance. In the way of drinkables there were several kinds of wine of home vintage and therefore of superior quality; also beer and soda which were likewise the production of local manufacturers. Shortly after nine o’clock the company sat down to the feast, and an hour or so was spent in the enjoyment of it. J. B. Gray, acting as master of ceremories, ten made some appropriate opening remarks. On behalf of the hosts he extended a cordial welcome to the guests and told how these meetings served to strengthen the bonds of fraternity between, the two branches of the Department,’ besides keeping alive the spirit of sociability so essential to maintaining an active interest The Union Pacific Promises to Begin.

Nevada City has indeed good reason to feel proud of her firemen. Their labor is one of pure patriotism, and they are entitled to the everlasting and unbounded gratitude of the community whose property they so faithfully and effectively give protection to. “Drive Whist™’ Party. A “drive whist’? secial was hed Wednesday evening at the residence of Miss Lena Locklin, upwards of twenty young ladies and? gentlemen being present. In playing the game there are five tables by lot numbered respectively from one to five. Table number one is called the ‘‘king table.’ The players are divided among these various tables and carry on as many gumes of whist till seven points are scored by the ‘‘king table.” Then a signal is sounded, whereupon the players are re-arranged, the winners being advanced and the losers set back, The score is kept by gold stars distributed to the Wititiers and blue-stars.to the losers. At the close of the series of games these stars are counted and prizes are Wednesday evening the ladies’ first prize (a decorated cup and saucer) went to Miss Bell Stover, and the gentlemen’s first prize (a gold pen and holder) to Frank Cammett. The ladies’. booby prize (a Japanese owl) was won by Miss Alice Crawford, and the gentlemen’s (a Japanese frog) by M. M.-Baruh. At midnight refreshments were served, after which singing and dancing were indulged_in for an hour, The evening was delightfully spent, say those who were there. Suit For Money. Mrs. J. W.

This idea is a natural one, but of course it is entirely erroneous. The word ‘northern’ conyeys to the Easterner the sense of cold and barrenness, but it should be fully explained that when applied to California it is susceptiole of an entirely different meaning. During my stay in Los Angeles recently I came to the conclusion that the high price of land in that section would send many of the lund-seekers who go there further north.

Where the Cornish Language Was Spoken for the Last Time. « — According to a magazine article, the old Cornish language was spoken by a few old fisherfolk !at Newlyn and Mousehole probably for the . st time during the closing years of the eighteenth century, and the last sermon in Cornish id said to have been preached at Lundewednack toward the close of the seventeenth. The same authority goes on to say: Traces, however, are still to be found in the names of. persons and places, and’ in a few rustic words and phrases, whi-h, uncouth as theys may sound to a stranger’s ear, often have in their meaning a ‘wild beauty’.of their own. For instance, Polufrian meant, to a Cornish ear, “the seabird’s home;’’ Carrag Luz, ‘the hoary rock,’’ and Creeg Morgan, “the stony hillocks by the sea.” It was a Cymric rather than a Gaelic dialect, and was tolerably understood by those who spoke thé tongue to which it was mest nearly. allied—the Welsh and the Bretons. Indeed, Bishop Gibson, in his Additions to Camden's ‘Cornwall’? (1678-1709), pointed out that one of the disadvantages of suppressing the old language Hwould be the loss of commerce and correspondence with the Armoricans of Brittany. Scawen, A Cornis ; writer and Vice Warden of the Stannaries, who 200 years ago even then lamented its impending disappearance, contended that it was ‘‘not as gutteral in the Welsh, nor.so. muttered, like the Armoric;” wnd we have the ‘testimony of Professor Max MuHer that it was “a melodius and yet by no means an effeminate language.’’ Yet it must-be admitted that the coup de grace was adminstered by the Cornish themselves ; for Scawen is compelled to admit that“‘our people in Queen Elizabeth's time desired that the common liturgy should be in English tongue, to which they were then, for novelty’s sake, affected, not if true judgment desired it’” The dialect spoken even in the present day in some country ~districts are quite unlike any of the English dialects, and are as unintelligible to a tc a a ree PRIESTLY DUTY, Converting a savage is as hard’as taming a rhinoceros, which, it is said, will die of a broken heart before it will ubate its natural ferocity. The nature of an Indian is hate of the white ian, and this inborn dislike must be subdued to a respect for a white teacher before any good impression will take hold. Tosee a savage, therefore, at the feet of a Christian missionary learning the divine precepts is an exhibition of wonderful will power of the latter over the former. An instance of the kind is the mission service of Rev. L. N. St. Onge, P. P., who, through very trying exposure during ten years ot hard Indian missionary life in_ the Rocky Mountain region, pursued his noble calling. Of this “he writes that he encountered a worse enemy than the savage (developed from his mode of lite)-and—taking hold of him with the tenacity of death itself, With this enemy he struggled very hard, which, , like the Indian's prejudice, he had to urapple because it was violent, and, ‘ike his own will power over the savage -thatwhich he employed to conquer ind subdue—was in its nature as oversowering as the influence he exerted on le savage mind. It penetrated with nugical effects and made its permanent esuit, Let him explain.

A table extending lengthwise of the hall was spread with a fine collation which included sundry tempting ediblés in abundance. In the way of drinkables there were several kinds of wine of home vintage and therefore of superior quality; also beer and soda which were likewise the production of local manufacturers. Shortly after nine o’clock the company sat down to the feast, and an hour or so was spent in the enjoyment of it. J. B. Gray, acting as master of ceremories, ten made some appropriate opening remarks. On behalf of the hosts he extended a cordial welcome to the guests and told how these meetings served to strengthen the bonds of fraternity between, the two branches of the Department,’ besides keeping alive the spirit of sociability so essential to maintaining an active interest The Union Pacific Promises to Begin.

A “drive whist’? secial was hed Wednesday evening at the residence of Miss Lena Locklin, upwards of twenty young ladies and? gentlemen being present. In playing the game there are five tables by lot numbered respectively from one to five. Table number one is called the ‘‘king table.’ The players are divided among these various tables and carry on as many gumes of whist till seven points are scored by the ‘‘king table.” Then a signal is sounded, whereupon the players are re-arranged, the winners being advanced and the losers set back, The score is kept by gold stars distributed to the Wititiers and blue-stars.to the losers. At the close of the series of games these stars are counted and prizes are Wednesday evening the ladies’ first prize (a decorated cup and saucer) went to Miss Bell Stover, and the gentlemen’s first prize (a gold pen and holder) to Frank Cammett.

This idea is a natural one, but of course it is entirely erroneous. The word ‘northern’ conyeys to the Easterner the sense of cold and barrenness, but it should be fully explained that when applied to California it is susceptiole of an entirely different meaning. During my stay in Los Angeles recently I came to the conclusion that the high price of land in that section would send many of the lund-seekers who go there further north.

Where the Cornish Language Was Spoken for the Last Time. « — According to a magazine article, the old Cornish language was spoken by a few old fisherfolk !at Newlyn and Mousehole probably for the . st time during the closing years of the eighteenth century, and the last sermon in Cornish id said to have been preached at Lundewednack toward the close of the seventeenth. The same authority goes on to say: Traces, however, are still to be found in the names of. persons and places, and’ in a few rustic words and phrases, whi-h, uncouth as theys may sound to a stranger’s ear, often have in their meaning a ‘wild beauty’.of their own. For instance, Polufrian meant, to a Cornish ear, “the seabird’s home;’’ Carrag Luz, ‘the hoary rock,’’ and Creeg Morgan, “the stony hillocks by the sea.” It was a Cymric rather than a Gaelic dialect, and was tolerably understood by those who spoke thé tongue to which it was mest nearly. allied—the Welsh and the Bretons. Indeed, Bishop Gibson, in his Additions to Camden's ‘Cornwall’? (1678-1709), pointed out that one of the disadvantages of suppressing the old language Hwould be the loss of commerce and correspondence with the Armoricans of Brittany. Scawen, A Cornis ; writer and Vice Warden of the Stannaries, who 200 years ago even then lamented its impending disappearance, contended that it was ‘‘not as gutteral in the Welsh, nor.so. muttered, like the Armoric;” wnd we have the ‘testimony of Professor Max MuHer that it was “a melodius and yet by no means an effeminate language.’’ Yet it must-be admitted that the coup de grace was adminstered by the Cornish themselves ; for Scawen is compelled to admit that“‘our people in Queen Elizabeth's time desired that the common liturgy should be in English tongue, to which they were then, for novelty’s sake, affected, not if true judgment desired it’” The dialect spoken even in the present day in some country ~districts are quite unlike any of the English dialects, and are as unintelligible to a tc a a ree PRIESTLY DUTY, Converting a savage is as hard’as taming a rhinoceros, which, it is said, will die of a broken heart before it will ubate its natural ferocity. The nature of an Indian is hate of the white ian, and this inborn dislike must be subdued to a respect for a white teacher before any good impression will take hold. Tosee a savage, therefore, at the feet of a Christian missionary learning the divine precepts is an exhibition of wonderful will power of the latter over the former. An instance of the kind is the mission service of Rev. L. N. St. Onge, P. P., who, through very trying exposure during ten years ot hard Indian missionary life in_ the Rocky Mountain region, pursued his noble calling.
