Eastment.] ; ^ V k ^HAT we were beloved by our 2 brethren of the press we have | not doubted for many years past, but just how strong the Sentiment was we could not guess until after looking over our exchange list the other day and scissoring out the following extracts: Think of the assurance of it!

How a criminal can run such a long career among our people we fail to un^ derstand, but there are signs, thank heaven, that it is drawing to a close.

Eagle. | As a lawyer in Giveadam Gulch for two years we frequently came in contact with Jim Hellso of the Kicker. We have no hesitation in denouncing htm as all that is bad. He is a menace to the territory. As a lawyer I cannot consistently counsel mob violence, but iii this case it seems as if the public owed a duty to itself. ? Lawyer Jim & f* Abrahams. We were building up a fine medical . practice in Giveadam Gulch when we happened to make an error in a prescription and a Chinaman went dead over it This man Hellso took the matter up and raised such a fu?s over it that we had to flee the town. He is said to have killed-over fifty Chinamen himself in cool deliberation.* and yet he refused to allow for one single mistake on our part We would give our all to hear that he had been hung.?The Late Dr. Jones.

Several times we have heard of his death and rejoiced over it in our paper, but only to be disappointed. ? Siocum's Press. In a joking way we threw a brickbat throoah his window one night, and he roused up and shot us through the hip and made us a cripple for life. That's the kind of man Jim Hellso is.?Ilank Stephens. lie delivered a lecture here at Grass Valley some two years ago, and there was a plot to kill him.

Could villainy go further??Mayor of Grass Valley. We raise our cliapeau to tho3e who hare written a3 above. We do not hanker after praise, but when a person goes out cf his way to say a kind word for us it touches our heart. It has ever been our mini to merit commendation and stand well with our fellow men, and we shall pursue the same policy to the end. .Again, thanks. M. QUAD. * Flynns Goat A MAN named Flynn Once had a goat that had a way Which sad experience could not stay. He would begin At early morn to look around For anv chance that might be found For butting in. A goatly grin Would overspread his features when He found occasion now and then For butting in. Fate takes a special care. It seems, for those who can't forbear From butting in. Repeated sin, However, always gets its pay. He saw a small plain box one day And butted in. Although 'twas lettered clear in sight, He couldn't read. 'Twas dynamite. He butted in. Poor Mr. Flynn Is goatiess now. no more ne n see His Caprian pet in capering glee. He butted in. And as he tells the tale he notes Its moral, warning men and goats 'Gainst butting in. Possible Trouble. "I'll ha\ s to put you in a stateroom with another man," said the clerk of the steamer.

A Chicago lawyer tells of a suit that took him to a small town in Colorado some years ago. The attorney soon discovered that his client had a weak case. The principal expedient to be adopted, therefore, was to string out the proceedings for as long a period as possible. This he succeeded in doing by skillfully interposing numberless exceptions and objections, but finally judgment was rendered against liis client. Turning to associate counsel, the Chicago man contributed a last bluff. "We'll carry the case to a higher court," said he, with great gravity. "I'm afraid we're done for," was the response. "There is no higher court on earth. This court is 10,000 feet above sea level, and that's way above the supreme court of the United States."? Philadelphia Ledger. / Queered Himself.

"Remember," said the preacher, consolingly, "that everybody must die some time." "Yes." replied the pale sufferer, "but years UL av.s icigii, nas at. uo height when his son came to the throne. The council of Trent in 1545 had solemnly condemned the practice of single combat, impartially including principals, seconds and spectators in its penalty of excommunication. In 1602 an edict of Ilenry pronounced the "damnable custom of dueling introduced by the corruption of the century" to be the cause of so many piteous accidents, to the extreme regret and displeasure of the king and to the irreparable damage of the state, "that we should count ourselves unworthy to hold the scepter if we delayed to repress the enormity of this crime." A whole series of edicts followed to the same effect, but it was easier to make edicts than to enforce them. Degradation, imprisonment, confiscation of property, loss of civil rights and death were the penalties attached to the infringement of the laws against dueling, and still the practice prevailed. In 1626 Richelieu published a milder form of prohibition. The first offense was no longer capital, a third only of the offender's property was to be confiscated, and the judges were permitted to recognize extenuating circumstances. A few months later the Courte de Bouteville thought fit to test the minister's patience in this direction. The Place Royale had long been a favorite dueling ground, and De Bouteville traveled from Brussels to fight bis twenty-second duel liere, in the heart of Paris, in deliberate defiance of the king's authority. The result was not encouraging. Montmorency though he was, the count went with his second to the scaffold, and the marked decrease from that time in the number of duels may be attributed either to the moderation used iu framing the law or to the inexorable resolution with which it was enforced.?Macmillun's Magazine. The Flyliisr Lizard of Java. The curious little animals known as flying lizards (Draco volans) are only found in Java, and their strange appearance is supposed to have been the origin of the dragon of the mediaeval eastern imagination. The reptile is like an ordinary lizard, but is provided with folds of extensible skin which are spread out by the long ribs and enable the animal to glide through the air from tree to tree in pursuit of the insects on which it preys. When lying prone on the mottled surface of a bough, it is an excellent example of "protective resemblance," as it is most difficult to be seen unless it moves. He Made Sure. A story is told of the Sudan railway which shows patient literalness. To an official there came the telegram from an outlying station: "Station master has died. Shall I bury him?" The reply was sent: "Yes; bury station master, but please make sure he is really dead before you do so." In due time back came the message: "Have buried station master. Made stjre he was dead by hitting him twice on the head with a fish plate." There was perfect assurance that there had ha ncAmfltnro Vmrfnl How's This?
