TO APPEAR FOR TRIAL. men, and partly to allay that terror by pointing out how best to avert the red right hand which inspired it. Our advice to Oak-landers who may wish to live out their days, even if it has to be done in Oakland, is to study the press reports of recent meetings of their City Council and find out exactly what it was that Mr. Hackett said of Mr. Dietz.

The words should then be inscribed on the tablets of memory, with a black line struck through them as a permanent reminder that under no provocation are they to be said of Mr. Brosnahan. Gentlemen who do not mind being loaded up with holes, and who consider preparation for the morgue the same thing as preparation for another and better world, may sass" him any way they like.

I remember the wonderful story which I told when this nihilist was put on exhibition. How he had beeri confined for years in the mines of Siberia, a thousand feet be. low tbe surface, and th intense heat had forced the hair to grow upon his body to an abnormal degree of lengrtii and coarseness. The story was such a thrilling one and the appearance man so frightful that tbe faces of my hearers were wont to grow pale with fear as they to me. He drew crowded houses in this city for a long time, and then went with me to'Cbieago, where I fixed him up as a gorilla, lie was certainly the most frightful looking object I had ever gazed upon.

We chained him to the floor with heavy bhackles and bis roars of anger could be heard a block away. Strong men grew weak while looking at kim, and the authorities at last, becoming alarmed, stopped the performance. I remember the la.t night that he appeared on exhibition. As he stepped out of the cage he said to me in an anxious tone: "'Mr. Coy lee, how vos I doing dot bix-ness? Well, I replied, 'you are doing very m-cIL but you don't holler loud 4 Veil, de fact replied the gorilla, with a weary sigh.

We have not in California a single poet who could have written those lines if he had been beseeched on bended knees. The sentiment of them goes to the heart like old wine old champagne, for example.

We understand it to be the Board's duty to foster and promote all our principal industries. Of tbese Poetry is clearly chief.

A Cruel and Fiendish nax Perpetrated by Medical Students. iVwn th Toronto The readers of the will call to mind an extraordinary marriage which was said to have been celebrated In a sleigh in Montreal, Immediately followed by the death of line groom, a Mr.

Ralph B. Husson of Brighton, England. Tbe story was to the effect that Hus-aon, who bad been living fa Canada, became engaged to a Miss Mnlcahy of this city, returned to England and, becoming seriously III, came out with bis father and a clergyman, and tbe lovers were married upon the party's arrival. This wss, la substance, the story related by Mrs. Mclcahy, the mother of the young woman who was alleged to have become a bride and widow within the same hour, The local newspapers publishad columns of detail, but no one could be found to tell what had been done with the body of the young Englishman, and a good many unpleasant things hod been said and insinuated with reference to the condition of the yonng lady who was tbe most interested in.

The poor girl's father, who was a compositor In the Gazette office, took: the matter so much to hear that he threw np bis situation and went to Chicago, while the family are still living In Montreal. It Is now time to give the true version of the story, which hss been obtained after an endless amount of research, and investigation, and It will be seen that Miss Mnlcaby has been made the victim of one of the most cruel and wicked Jokes ever perpetrated in this or any other community. The facts of the ease are as follows: Mr.

Hnsson was no myth, and not only did be board in the house on Bleury street, but paid frequent visits to the Mulcahy household, where he was received with greet favor by the eldest dauehter. It seems that the young gentleman from Brighton, previous to his departure to tba old country, had made known his intentions of marrying Miss Mulcahy at a future date to a number of medical students. At a subsequent date, however, to Husson's sailing for home these embryo doctors resolved to perpetrate a boax on the young woman. On Mondsy morning Mrs. Mulcnlry received a note from a friend, saying that her presence was required at once.

No sooner bad the good lady left her borne when a second messenger entered bearing a note for Miss Mulcahy, entreating that lady to repair at once to a well-known hotel In the city, where business of tbe utmost importance to herself bad to be transacted. The young lady at first decided to await ber mother's return, but at the earnest en having been approached formally, though they said Eaton had acted in a suspicious building being ned for the exhibition of The gorilla is now a reputable manufac manner, and had introduced O'Brien to one queer things.

Millions are spent to keep garrisons on dress parade in tbe East, but the soldiers who fight Indians, bandits and train robbers, and make weary marches across trackless deserts are remembered in a ridiculous allotment of for shelter and accommodation. In sixteen years the Government has spent nearly six millions on armories and arsenals, of which less than $400,000 was spent at Benicia. These figures are given on the authority of General Miles.

Harris had been thirty years in the navy. -He entered as an assistant engineer in 1859, served throughout the war in various responsible capacities, and in 1871 was commissioned a Chief Engineer. Mr. Harris for the past few yaars has been useful in superintending the construction of new ships, and hi3 last duty previous to the Charleston's trial cruise was in connection with the Monadnock at Mare Island. He was a brave and a kindly man a generous shipmate and an accomplished officer in every respect.

He went through the fearful bombardment at Fort Fisher, and was also a participant in the attack upon Charleston by Admiral Dupont in 18G3. He was a member of the Military Order of the Loyal Legion, and had quite a reputation as an expert in mechanical engineering. His death will be sincerely deplored in naval circles.

It is important that the great cities of tbe Atlantic seaboard should be provided with fortifications, and it is proper that the greater portion of the appropriations should be devoted to that nse, but it is not right that the Pacific Coast should be ignored or treated like an unimportant province.

Of course there are fake skeletons, out the genuine article is almost as scarce as ben's teeth." How about the midgets and bearded women?" Plenty of 'em. Thicker than hair, on a dog. Market elnttcd. These come under the head of what is known to the trade as 'fill-ins." as do giants and Circassians. In-order to secure jnwations the tattooed men are now tiering to urnush tattooed pigs am! dogs.

Yon see it is an easy matter to get tattooed. There are places in this city where your whole body can be covered with tattooing for $25 or $30. And Circassians! They are as plentiful as actors on the Ui-alto. The latest development in the way of a curiosity is Ida Conroy, who is known as the She is a fat woman, a bearded woman and a tattooed woman all at once. She is truly a most remarkable departure from precedent." How about the What Is It? He is a trifle stale just at present.

But I am informed that there are a few genuine what-is-its in tbe country, or they can be made if necessary." "How about the fasting man; isn't he comparatively new in this business? "Yes; but they are not genuine. The one on exhibition in this city a few days since disappeared one day last week and no one knows where he has gone. A much more remarkable man than the faster was John Snyder, tbe walking phenomenon. I saw him in. constant motion myself for eight weeks.

It is said that he walked for three vears and four months and died walking. The most remarkable armless man in the world is Charles Tripp. He paints, cuts glass, puts on his collar and combs his hair with his feet. You should see him in a saloon before a bar. He always wears shoes which are taken oiT easily.

When the glass of beer is drawn and placed on the counter before him he kicks off one of bis shoes, puts his heel on tbe counter and grasps the glass with his toes. When he gets into a political discussion it is very funny to see that heel beating up and down on the counter to emphasise his remarks. A GREAT SCHEME FOlXED. By the way. Charlie and I had a great scheme on hand last year, which, if it had been carried out, would have yielded us a barrel of money.

It was a patent mermaid racket. Although Charlie is armless he has complete control of his shoulder-blades. The idea was to clothe him in a celluloid suit with the fins at the shoulders in as close an imitation of the popular idea of a mermaid as possible. Expensive tanks were made and the scheme was to have Charlie perform under the water. The siory which I was to tell was to the fleet that a ship sailed from San Francisco on the way to China.

The vessel was wrecked in the south seas and three men sailed away from tbe wreck in a boat After a week's exposure to the intense heat of the tropics, without food and water and all the horrors ol a shipwreck two of the men were to die in the usual dime novel fashion. The one man who survived was to be cast upon a desert island in the south seas. After pulling himself up the beach out of reach of the waves, and partially recovering his strength, he was to hear strange and beautiful music coming from a little cave in the island. Looking through the grass, he saw a most wonderful sight. Disporting themselves in tbe edge of the breakers, and flirting up the sand with their graceful tails, were a group of most exquisitely beautiful mermaids.

The sailor after infinite pains secured one of the little mermaids and placed it in a hole, which he dug in the island and filled with salt water. Far months, tbe mermaid was tenderly cared for by the sailor, and then he was rescued and taken with his prize to Honolulu. After a variety of surprising adventures and the death of tbe sailor, the mermaid found its way to San Francisco, was seen by a reporter, and the marvelous discovery was heralded to the world. Oh, we had it down fine, and the scheme would have worked but for the fact that Charlie was taken with hemorrhages while practicing in the tank, and the mermaid racket was abandoned. We lost about $500, and our tank now lies useless in EifiBLtSB Buss or Milk ta re aas-r La titat food in th world.

With Corporal Tanner in the Pension Office and Comrade Bussey as the Assistant ttorney-Geneial to render pension there need be no fear that the pension will hold out as long a3 the surplus Joes. Here is a sample of one of "Comrade" fcussey's rulings: George W. Allen was a member of Company Seventy-second Indiana Volunteers. In 180'-J, while in camp at Bledsoe Creek, the troops were ordered to play bail for sxercise. While doing so Allen fell and sprained in arm, which is now disabled.

In 1877 he spoiled for a pension, but Pension Commissioner Black rejected the application on the ground th the injury had not been received in the line of dnty. Bussey reverses that decision and (rants a pension to Allen, as the injury was curred in the line of duty. The other day Comrade" Bussey gave a limilar decision iu the case of a soldier ho, having been ordered by his corumand- jig officer to bathe, went to a stream, Dlungcd in, caught rheumatism and now, if ter twenty-seven years, finds himself in- The decision was that the heumatisra was contracted in the line of iuty. If such claims as these are to be countenanced a great injustice will be done to ihe deserving pensioners who have a real tie to substantial recognition by a grateful country. The purpose of Governor Waterman and his assistant whitewashes at San Quentin seems to be to chastise the Assembly Ways and Means Committee for finding out anything about the mismanagement of the prison.

A writer in the Washington Sunday Herald contributes a column of interesting gossip abuat the first President, from which the following Is extracted "In Washington's earlier life, as all the greatest soldiers ia history, save Lee, Grant and a few others, have been, be was given ta promiscuous as an unlawful weakness for women Was then denominated. That be was the father of at least two children Is certain, if the talk of prominent Virginians half a century ago had any foundation.

This one became a very distinguished man, was a Brigadier-General and Governor of Indiana while it was a Territory.

In 1759, Washington's life was most exemplary ia this well as In every other respect.

"A good deal has been said of General Washington's fortune. When be died in 1799 it was reported that he was worth $509,000, a great sum In those days. The truth is that from the close of the revolution until his death there never wss a year in which he did not have to encroach upon the priucipat of his fortune to live. It is a matter of history that he loaned to the Government during the revolution S65.000 in gold. Not one penny did It ever py back.

It is trne that James Madison la 1793 did make some proposition to introduce a bill ia the Senate or House to refund this sum, but be said General Washington received me so haughtily when I called upon him In respect to the matter that I thereafter When be died he was worth about S65.00O or 70,000 this, of course, does not include Mrs. Wsshlngton's estate, which was always kept separata from the General's.

From, the Bed Bluff SnitineL Will Hartte has a peculiar cat; that is, a cat with curious affections, ber peculiarity being that she has adopted a gray squirrel as one of her family.

She gave birth to a family of five kittens a short time ago, and three of them were killed. Tbe squirrel was then pnt with the two remaining kittens, and it seems just as much at home as when out in the woods. It allows th kittens to scramble all over it, and greets Its adopted mother very effusively when she appears in the box where the family reside. The foster-mother suckles the squirrel as she does her kittens, and when the little fellow scampered out on th fence the other day she quickly followed, and, catching th truant by tbe back of the neck, took him back into the box. The squirrel is about half grown, and Is at perfect liberty to go and com at will, but it very seldom leaves the box.

PET Examiner on May 6th, Charles Ladd of Eu The notion of putting Councilman Brosnahan of Oakland under bonds to keep the peace is not tiOFpitably entertained by the Wisest minds': the complaint against him would necessarily be defective in several respects. In the first place, Mr. Brosna-kan'a declaration of intention to fill his victim full of holes and prepare him for the morgue was made with reference to any man," not any particular man; it is evident, indeed, that a man who is very would not care to-get near enough io Mr.

Brosnahan to incur the holes. Moreover, it has been decided that a threat, the fulfillment of which is specifically conditional upon a stated course of action on the part of the ullillee, is not a threat within the meaning of the law; and the reason is sound. It the threatened per son to make himself safe by abstaining from the course of action disagreeable to the threatener than by procuring the arrest and restraint of the latter. A man is supposed to have sense enough to exhaust all possible measures of security before applying to the courts. Mr.

Brosnahan's resolution of intention had a proviso he would fill with holes any man, provided that luckless person should say about him (the filler) what Councilman Uackett had said bout Boniface Dietz. No valid complaint could be based upon such a threat as that: "any man" making a complaint would simply be advised by the Judge not to Bay of Mr. Brosnahan ancestors." "Oh, I see!"

After eating the eggs the chemist pounded the shell up tine and calcined them in the fire. These he sold as a remarkable cure for sore eves. He was measurably successful with his eye wash, but his aims in life were higher. He decided to open a school of languages in this City. He called on Dr.
