it safe to say that by figuring closely, at

the fire, but I have only estimated such
expenses as were directly traceable to it.

from Waihington, D.- C, we extract the
following:
On the 5th instant Mr. Fred W. Wil
son, now student at the John HoDkms
university at Baltimore, in company
with Mr. Ed Mays, of the University of
Caliiorma, were visitors at the national
capitol. Both young gentlemen were in
excellent health and great good spirits.
Senators Dolph and Mitchell and Repre
sentative Hermann showed them every
possible attention. ; Their stav in Wash
ington was brief,' but nevertheless they
saw many of the attractions of the city
and departed full of admiration for the
seat of government.
He Dismissed tbe Coart.

an Oregon justice of the peace who sen
tenced a man to tne penitentiary;

it was an Oregon sheriff who allowed
his prisoner, convicted of murder and
sentenced to death to go home and put

show up on the day of execution. And
the man was banged too.
ine uemew is severe. What if we
should say that it was a Washington
citizen who found himself elected jus
tice of the peace and the only law book
he had was a copy of Cushing's Manual?
The first case before him was that of a
cowboy for stealing a steer. When the
case was called the leading" lawyer of
the town was there to defend the 'pris
oner. "As there is no counsel for the
other side," he said, "I make a motion
that the case be dismissed." The jus
tice looked over bis manuel. "A motion
has to be seconded," he said, "I second
the . motion," promptly responded the
prisoner. "The motion has been
seconded that the case be dismissed said
the court "all in favor will please say
'aye' " The prisoner and his attorney
voted "aye." "All opposed will say
'no.' " Nobody voted. ''The motion is
carried and the case is dismissed" re
peated the court. "A motion to adjourn
is now in order.' The prisouer made
the motion, and the court adjourned to
a saloon in the vincinity. -

oh the 15th of December; ;1891; and held
an interesting and harmonious session.
The following resolutions' were consid
ered of enough importance tahe public
to demand publication : v
Whereas, the convict labor of the
state of Oregon is now contracted to a
corporation at a very small compensa
tion, yielding but little revenue to the
state, leaving the greater part of expense
of keeping and guarding the; convicts-a
burden on the taxpayers ofc.the state;

. ... Whereas, the labor,, as at present em
ployed, is in competition with fiee or
honeBt labor; and . .
Whereas, wo believe that the labor of
the convicts ought to be employed in
such a way as to be, in a measure, self
sustaining and a benefit to the state, and
at some work in which all, or nearly all,
may be employed : and
Whereas, the present contract of the
conrict labor is about to expire i and .
Whereas, the jute plant in San Quen
tin prison, Cal has proved a self-sustaining
institution ; and the state of
Washington is nxw patting in, a jute

Resolved: That we demand rof the

Thanksgiving Mirny in New York City. "
It used to be that Thankserivinsr dav in
New York was, like the day all over the
eastern part of the .country, a day which
centered around a "dinner., This dinner
was inevitableimd the families saw each
other then that never saw each other in a
group at any other.time."". The prodigal
returned for it; the poor relation looked
forward to it and praised it as it pro
gressed heavily through its different
courses; and the several members of the
family tried to be more polite and genial
and loving toward One another at that
meal than at any other of the three times
365 other meals of the year. There are
some who like family dinners, and there
are -other; wicked ones who sympathize
with the young woman w.ho assented to
having a family dinner by saying, VYes;
and let us have any family but our own!"
It is an awful and solemn ceremony in
majpy homes, and it is made more so, as
a rule, by some one of the elder of the
poor relations, who endeavors to enliven
the general gloom by trying to be "the
life of the dinner." He does this by
growing reminiscent over the younger
members, and telling- how pretty they
were as children, and how they used to
make him tell and retell the old story of
the roast pig he stole the night before
Gettysburg, with which introduction he
promptly tells the old story again.
It may not be so everywhere, but
around New York city' this has all
changed. It is - not that the families
around the great metropolis love each
other less, or that they have less cause or
less desire to be thankful, but a great and
powerful and fascinating rival has come
te take the place of the Thanksgiving
day dinner, and it is known not only in
New York, but from Texas, or wherever
else a Yale man is carrying a transit, to
Canada, or wherever else the Princeton
man is building a bridge, as the Thanks
' giving day game.
And now everybody goes out to "see
.Princeton and .Yale decide the football
championship, and instead of boring each
other around a dinner table, grow hoarse
and exhausted in shouting for their fa
vorite son or the college of their son.

- A tteorgia Stale Mine.
Squire Spudler has just discovered an
extensive buy mule mine on his farm
near here. The squijp was fishing down
by the creek neiir where an old Indian
mine was worked for mules, and he wad
attrjicted by a- sound resembling tho
nr:;y of a uinle corning from s little cava
in the bank of the stream. The squire
commenced a search and poon discovered
tho ears of n uinle prytrtulinrj above the
soft earth near the water. Work was at
once commenced anil several fine sptici-j
raens were unearthed. The squire's son-in-law
started with one fine specimen to
a mineralogist's to have it :is3ayed, bnt'
it bucked and jumped with hint, and;
after sendin-j him off oh a voyage of dis
covery toward the planet Saturn, went
on a grazing spree in the adjacent cow
lot. It ia believed that the mine will
prove vfery profitnble, and fodder .nd
corn have advanced to fifty dollars pet
