The Marysville Appeal gives this sensible advice which will apply to people who write letters ‘as well as to writers for the press:, Many newspapera/in the country have fallen into the habit of using Latin and French phrases at every Opportunity. It’s a bad practice. Nothing but English for English readers shoud be the rule of the press. The lugging of foreign words into Engiish papers displays not scholarship but faulty judgment or bad taste. It is true that ing difficult to expreas in English, and (OFFER NO. 8.)

Tidings: A Hill’s Flat citizen who tly ‘‘got a bargain” in a horse trade, as he thought, is now meditating on the cussedness of man in general occasional use of such words or phrases . Another fault that may be justly charged against the press in general SEDUCTIVE SOLITAIRE. Mere About the Truckee Victim of the Game. «<-> The Republican says of Walter Stafford, the solitoire crank who was taken by Sheriff Lord on Wednesday to the Insane Asylum at Stockton: Stafford is but one of a large class of individuals who seek to ‘“‘reat’’ their minds by trying to arrange adeck of cards so that the pasteboards can be formed in four piles from an ace to king. It is a game where the chances are against the dealer, It a game in which, if the cards do not come out right the firet time the player will try it again, and. if failure continues, he player can always be detected at sight. He has ‘a hang-on expression and a sort of vacant look, his eyelids are but half open, he has no pride or ambition and the seat of his trousers is always threadbare. Perforce, he is the lasiest man in town. A professional .solitaire player is not fit for anything else and it is a wonder that they do not moreoften land-in-an asylum. Men have been known to cheat themselves at the game and even to play it with » short deck. When a man reaches this stage there ia no reclaiming him. The case of Stafford furnishes a warning which those who have not gone far downward should heed. He would habitually cheat himself in the game and when the boys would eteal two or three cards from the deck he would aver on his honor as a solitaire player. that he ‘did it,” He could_not sleep at night unless he ‘did it” ten times. He wouldn’t do anything except to play solitaire and} when Supervisor McPhetresa broke up his game by ordering him out of the pest house, he set fire to the building. Didn't Like the North Country. The Eureka (Nevada) Sentinel of last Saturday saya: Some of the men who were thrown out of emplowment here by the shutting: down of our furnaces went almost direct to Washington Territory, After two or three weeks in that region several of them have returned to San Francisco, and they now write to their friends here that-the north is greatly overrated and they could find nothing in which they could engage and makea living, With plenty of money people can speculate in real ea'ate, which seema to be the only business followed by a majority of those who are booming the Territory, At Seattle and Tacoma town lots are being sold five and six miles out at-fabutous prices, It will require a month’s work to clear the huge timber neither eniployment nor opportunity for a wage-earner in the northern country, A Truckee Scene. The Republican says: Truckee produces in the winter some beautiful snow and ice scenes, not to be found in any other portioh of the State, A specimen scene can be observed in the. rear of the box factory where there ig a huge mass of ice formed from water from the waste-way.

The Marysville Appeal gives this sensible advice which will apply to people who write letters ‘as well as to writers for the press:, Many newspapera/in the country have fallen into the habit of using Latin and French phrases at every Opportunity.

It’s a bad practice. Nothing but English for English readers shoud be the rule of the press. The lugging of foreign words into Engiish papers displays not scholarship but faulty judgment or bad taste. It is true that ing difficult to expreas in English, and (OFFER NO. 8.)

Tidings: A Hill’s Flat citizen who tly ‘‘got a bargain” in a horse trade, as he thought, is now meditating on the cussedness of man in general occasional use of such words or phrases . Another fault that may be justly charged against the press in general SEDUCTIVE SOLITAIRE. Mere About the Truckee Victim of the Game. «<-> The Republican says of Walter Stafford, the solitoire crank who was taken by Sheriff Lord on Wednesday to the Insane Asylum at Stockton: Stafford is but one of a large class of individuals who seek to ‘“‘reat’’ their minds by trying to arrange adeck of cards so that the pasteboards can be formed in four piles from an ace to king. It is a game where the chances are against the dealer, It a game in which, if the cards do not come out right the firet time the player will try it again, and. if failure continues, he player can always be detected at sight. He has ‘a hang-on expression and a sort of vacant look, his eyelids are but half open, he has no pride or ambition and the seat of his trousers is always threadbare. Perforce, he is the lasiest man in town. A professional .solitaire player is not fit for anything else and it is a wonder that they do not moreoften land-in-an asylum. Men have been known to cheat themselves at the game and even to play it with » short deck. When a man reaches this stage there ia no reclaiming him. The case of Stafford furnishes a warning which those who have not gone far downward should heed. He would habitually cheat himself in the game and when the boys would eteal two or three cards from the deck he would aver on his honor as a solitaire player. that he ‘did it,” He could_not sleep at night unless he ‘did it” ten times. He wouldn’t do anything except to play solitaire and} when Supervisor McPhetresa broke up his game by ordering him out of the pest house, he set fire to the building. Didn't Like the North Country. The Eureka (Nevada) Sentinel of last Saturday saya: Some of the men who were thrown out of emplowment here by the shutting: down of our furnaces went almost direct to Washington Territory, After two or three weeks in that region several of them have returned to San Francisco, and they now write to their friends here that-the north is greatly overrated and they could find nothing in which they could engage and makea living, With plenty of money people can speculate in real ea'ate, which seema to be the only business followed by a majority of those who are booming the Territory, At Seattle and Tacoma town lots are being sold five and six miles out at-fabutous prices, It will require a month’s work to clear the huge timber neither eniployment nor opportunity for a wage-earner in the northern country, A Truckee Scene. The Republican says: Truckee produces in the winter some beautiful snow and ice scenes, not to be found in any other portioh of the State, A specimen scene can be observed in the. rear of the box factory where there ig a huge mass of ice formed from water from the waste-way.
