SA"4i,

GAMPETTA and Mur^t, bw publisher, yesterday gave notice of their intention to appeal the cases decided against them. Yesterday was the last day on which notice of such intention could be given and very clearly shows the dilatory line of policy they intend to pursue. It is possible by ^vailing themselves ot eery delaj which the law allows to postpone final execution of the sen. fence, until after the election. Gambetta will certainly be elected a member ot the assembly, and will secure immunity in that way. He hopes the Republican majority may be so great that the bullet headed Marshal President will be effectually bulldozed. It hardly teems possible, that the people of France will permit him to be imprisoned for making the very mild remark that "If the people of France give a decisive Republican majority, President McMahon must yield to theii wishes or resign his post." How that can be construed into an insult to McMahon does not appear. A weeks opposition from some red hot paper like the Indianapolis Sentinel would make McMahon jfeel like voting a pension to such a loyal patriot as Gambetta. What Mc

Mahon really needs is to be called hell hound,' 'a christless whelp' 'a red traitor* and a few other choice epithets that mean business Then he would let people alone who never speak any harsher of him than the mild mannered men of France do.

Evidently McMahon needs instruction pn the point of liberty of speech.

COUNTY AFFAIRS.

Our present Board of County Commissioners has done many admirable things since it was organized. On an assessment of property in the County much lower than it was last thne, they have so reduced expenses that the same rate as before, and in tome cases even a lower rate has sufficed to raise sufficient money for all County purposes. Had the old rate of assessment continued, the tax per cent would have be greatly lowered. So much for the economy with which they have managed affairs.

Since the County was organized its affai^ ...h^ve not been in better shape. •!,*' -t

The bridges throughout the County have been

Kept

in excellent repair. New

ones, where needed, have been built, of the best material and in the most substantial manner. The accounts of Trustees and Supervisors have been carefully looked into, and these officers required, as far as it was possible for the Commissioners to compel them to keep their roads in first-class shape. Our County school system has never been more efficient, whether the length ot the school year, the number of pupils in attendance, or the amount of work done arc taken into consideration. County orders, are at par, for the first time in )ear&, and payable on presentation.

The poor expenses are less than ever before, the number of paupers cared for being taken into consideration, and our poor larm is bevond all question^'* the of the the

A STATEMENT -.OF THE RECEIPTS AXD DISBURSEMENTS OF THE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY,

Yesterday was occupied all day by the officers of the Vigo Agricultural Society in paving off premiums at the office of H. D. Scott.

of the expenses for the year is given below, in order that that the public may see to what use the money received has been applied. Nearly a thousand dollars has been expended on permanent improvements, but for which the premiums coujd have been paid in full. The society still owes $400, lost in the Fair last year, but is otherwise clear of debt, and with the grounds iu better shape than ever before. Those drawing premiums are ertinentlv satisfied with the manner in which they have been treated. ,.t

The prospect? for a fair financially, as in other respects successful next year, are excellent. It will be noticed in the appended statement from the Secy. Mr Jos. Gilbert, that seven hundred and fifty dollars are paid in fixll. This is the society's shar^ of the race money.

There are a number of small bills which have not yet been presented, but at which a guess has been made. These are included under the last item, entitled "Diplomas and sundry bills."

the good people of Vigo, interested in the charities of the county, no better advice than is contained in the suggestion to pay that institution a visit.

For this very creditable condition of affairs, the various officers in immediate charge, are oi course primarily deserving of recognition, as they would be personally responsible if anything went wrong. But in as much as the Board of Commissioners direct and manage allot these things, they are certainly entitled to the thanks of the community at large. Public officers so often mismanage affairs, they so otten deserve centure rather than praise, that is a real pleasure for the Gazktte to be able, in the present instance, to call the attention of the people, to some of their affairs which have been administered in a highly gratifying and satisfactory manner. And we hold it to be the uuty of the people, since they censure where things are mismanaged, to show some appreciation of faithful public service. The people, in their collective capacit)', would be a poor employer jf they never recognized the work ot officers except to censure mismanagement or condemn fraud. It is apart of its duty to, at leaRt, recognize good work when it has been done. And this, we claim, is what is now true of tlie present Bgard of County Commissioners, *i3

WHO WAS MY QUIET FRIEND? Bret Hartein thu^fgw YorkSun* ''Stranger!',

The voice was not loud, but clear and penetrating. 1 Looked up and down the narrow and darkening trail No one in the fringe of alder ahead, no one on the gullied slope behind. •'O! stranger!"

This time a little impatiently. The Californit vocative, "O," always rpeant business.

I looked up, and peiceived for the first time, on the ledge, thirty tcvt above mc, another trail parallel with my own, and looking down upon me through the buckeye bushes a small man on a black horse.

Five things to be here noted by the circumspect mountaineer. First, the locality—lonely and inaccessible and away from the regular faring of teamsters and miners. Secondly, the stranger's superior knowledge

returned his salutPtion.

Got any tobacco?" he askeu. I had, and demited the fact, holding up the pouch inquiringly."

All right, I'll come down. Ride on, and I'll jine ye on tlie slide. "The slide?'' Here was a new geographical discovery as odd as the second trail. I had ridden over the trail a dozen times and seen no communication between the ledjje and the trail. Nevertheless 1 went on a hundred yaids or so, when there was a sharp crackling in the underbrush, a shower of stones on ttie trail, and my triend plu ged through Hie bushes to my side down avgraue that should sc^icely have dared to lead my horse. There was no doubt lie was an accomplished rider—another fact to Jjc noted.

As he ranged beside me I found I was not mistaken as to his size he was quite under the medium height, and but lor a pair of cold gray eyes, was rather commonplace in leature. "You've got a good horse there," I suggested.

He was filling his pipe from my pouch, but looked up a little surprised, and said, "Of course." He then puffed away with the nervous eagerness of a man long deprived of that sedative. Finally, between the puffs, he asked me whence I came.

I replied from "Lagranee." He looked at me a tew moments curiously, but on my adding that I had onlv halted there for a few hours, he said: "I thought I knew every man between Lagrange and Indian Spring, but somehow sorter disremember your face and your name."

Not particularly caring that he should remember either, I replied, half laughingly, thai as 1 lived the other side Indian Spring, it was quite natural, lie to,.k the rebuff—it" such it was—so quietly, that as an act of mere perfunctory pUueness, I asked him where he came from."_* "Lagrange.?' "And you are going to

"Well! that depends pretty much on how things pan out, and whether I can make the riffle.'V He let his hand rest quite unconsciously oft the leather holster of his dragoon revolver, yet with strong suggestion* to me of his ability "to make the riffle" if he wanted to, and added "But just now 1 was reck'nin' on taking a little PASSAit With you."

There was nothing offensive in his speech, save its familiarity and the reflection, perhaps, that whether I objected or not, he was quite able to do as he said. I only replied iliat if ourpasearwas prolonged bevond Heavytree Hill, I should have to borrow his beast. To my, surprise, he replied quietly, "That's so," adding that the horse was at my disposal when he wasn't using it, and half of it when he was. Dick has carried double many a time before this," he continued,

and can do it again when Vour mustang gives out, I'll give you a lift and room to spare." 1 could not help smiling at the idea of appearing betore the boys at Red Gulch en'croupe with the stranger but neither could 1 help being oddly affected by the suggestion that his horse had done double duty before. On what occasion, and why?" was a question I kept to myself We were ascending the long rocky flank of the Divide the narrowness of the trail obliged us to procced slowly and in file, so that there was little chance for conversation, had he been disposed to satisfy my curiosity.

We toiled on in silence, the buckeye givi way to chimisal, the westering sun, reflected again from the blank walls beside us, blinding our eyes with its glare. The pines in the capyon below were olive gulfs of heat, over which a hawk here and there drifted lazily, or ris ing to our level, cast a weird and gigant ic shadow of slowly moving wings on the mountain side. The superiority of the stranger's horse led him often far in ad vaace, and made me hope that he might forget me entirely, or push on, grown weary of waiting. But regularly he' vould halt by a boulder, or reappear from some chimisal, where he had patiently halted I

beginning to hate him mildly, when at one of those reappearances he di to my side, and asked me how

at one of those reappearances he drew up I liked Dickens!

Had he asked my opinion of Huxley or Darwin, I could not have been more astonished.' Thinking it were possible that he referred to some local celebrity of Lagrange^ 1 said, hesitatingly.^ "You mean—?" 'Charles Dickens. Of course you've read him? Which of his beoks ^o you like best?'

I replied with considerable embarrassment that I-liked them all—as certainly I did.

He grasped my hand for a moment with a fervor quite unlike his usual phlegm, and said, 'That's me, old man. Dickens ain't no slouch. You can count011 him pretty much all the time.,.

With this rough preface, be launched

into

a criticism of the novelist, which for intelligent sympathy and hearty appreciation I had rarely heard equaled. Not only did he dwell upon the exuberance of his humor, but upon the power of his pathos and the all-per-vading element of his poetry. I looked at the man in astonishment. I had considered myself a rather diligent student of the great master of fiction, but the stranger's felicity of quotation and illustration staggered me. It is true that his thought was not always clothed in the best language, and often appeared in the slouching, slangy undress of the place

ably softened toward him, I tried him with othei: literature. But vainly. Beyond a few of the lyrical and emotional poets, he knew nothing. Under the influence and enthusiasm of his own speech, he himself had softened considerably offered to change horses with me, 'readjusted my saddle with protessional skill, transferred my pack to bis own horse, insisted upon my sharing the contents of his Whisky-flask, and, noticing that I was unarmed, pressed upon me a silver mounted derringer, which he assured me he could '"warrant." These various offices of good wi 1 and the diversion of his talk beguiled r/ from noticing the fact that the trail was beginning to become obscure and unrecognizable. We were evidently pursuing a route unknown tome. I pointed out the fact to my companion a little impatiently. He instantly resumed his old manner and dialect. "Well, I reckon one trail's as good as another, and what hev ye got to say about it

I pointed out, with some dignity, that I preferred the old trail. "Mebbee you did. IJut you're jiss no-v takin' a pasear with me. This yer trail will bring you right into Indian Spring, and onnoticed, and no questions asked. Don't you mind now, I'll see you •hrough."

It was necessary here to make some stand against my strange companion. I said firmlv, yet as politely as I could, that I had proposed stopping over night with a friend "Whar?'

I hesitated. The friend was an eccentric Eastern man, well known in the locality for his fastidiousness and his habits as a recluse. A misanthropfi ot ample

family and ample means, he had chosen a' m:eluded but picturesque valley in the I mony, quitted tlie table. Sii rras, where he rould rail against the "Ain't he just love.v world without opposition. "LoneVal K'V"Boston Ranch," as it was more familiarly called, was the one spot that the" average miner both respected and feared. Mr. Sylvester, its proprietor, had never affiliated with the boys," nor had he ever lost their respect by any ictive opposition to their ideas. If seclu sion had be&n his object he certainly was gratified. Nevertheless, in the darkening shadows ot the night, and on a lonely and unknown trail, I hesitated a little about repealing h«s nan-e to a stranger ot whfcm I knew so little. But my mysterious companion took the matter out of my hands. "Look yar," he said cuddenly, thar ain't hut one place twixt ver and Indian Spring whar ye can stop, and that's Sylvester's,"

I a**-enteJ, a little sullenly. "Well." said the stranger, quietly, and with a slight suggestion ot conferring a favor on me, *'Ef you're pointed for Sylvester's—why—I don't mind stooping thar with ye. It's a little off the road— I'll lose some time- but taking it by and larye 1 don't much mina 1 -tated, as rajy 1 iv and

I ould, that .1 quaintai.ee vim Mr Sylvester did no justify t':e introduction of a stranger to his hospitality—that he was unlike most of the people hete—in short, that he was a queer man, etc., etc

To my surprise my companion answered quietly: "O, that's all right. I've heerd of him. Ef you don't feel like checking me*through, or if fl*ou'd rather put •C. O. on my back, why it's all the same to me I'll play it alone. Only you count me in. Say 'Sylvester' all the tlmr. That's me!"

What could I oppose to this man's quiet assurance? 1 felt myself growing red with anger and nervous with emb.trassment. What would the correct Sylvester say to me? What would the girls—I was a young man then, and had won an entree "to their domestic circle by my reserve—known by a less complimentary adjective among the boys— what would they say to my new acquaintance? Yet I certainly could not object to his assuming all risk on his own personal recognizances, nor could I resist a certain feeling of shame at my embarassment

We were beginning to descend. In the distance below us alread twinkled the lights in the solitary rancho of Lone Valley. I turned to my companion. "But you have forgotten that I dont even know your name. What am I to call you? "Thet's so," he said musingly. "Now, let's see. Kearney would be a good name. It's short and easy like. Thar's a street in 'Frisco the same title- Kearney it is." '•But I began impatiently. 'Now you leave all that to me,' he in terrupted, with a superb self-confidence that I could not but admire, 'The name ain't no account. It's the man that's responsible. Ef I was

Iran upstairs to the little den that my hospitable host had kept always reserved for me in my wanderings. I lingered some time over my ablutions, hearing the languid, gentlemanly drawl of Sylvester below mingled with the equally cool, easy slang of my mysterious acquaintance. When I came down to the sitting-room I was surprised, however, to find the self-

an at re

pitiless archery of her eyes, with an ex citement that seemed almost real. "Whois your deliciously cool friend?" she managed to whisper to me at supper as I sat utterly dazed and bewildered between thfi enrapt May Sylvester, who seemed to hang upon his words, and this giddy girl of the period, who was emptying the battery cf he. charms in acii've rivalry upon him. "Of course we know his name isn't Kearny. But how romantic! And isn't.he perfectly lovely? And wbo is he?"

I replied with seveie irony that I'was not a«varc whrit foreign potentate was then travelling incognito in the Sierras of California, but that when his Royal Highness was pleased to inform me, I should be glad to introduce him properly. "Until then,' I added, I fear the acquaintance mu«-tbe Morganatic." "You're only jealous of him," shtf s*ard pertly. "Look at May—she is completely fascinated. And her father too." And actually, the languid, werld-sick, cynical Sylvester was regarding him with a boy ish interest ami enthusiasm almost incompatible with his nature. Yet I submit honestly to the clear-headed reason of my own sex, that I could see nothing more in the man than I have already delivered to the reader.

In the middle of an exciting story of adventure, of whicU he, to the already prejudiced mind of his (air auditors, was evidently the hero, he stopped suddenly. "It's only some pack train passing the bridge on the lower trails" explained Sylvester, "go on." "It mav be my horse a trifle onea?y in the stable," said the alleged Kearny "he ain't used to boards and covering." Heaven only knows what wild and delicious levelation lay in the statement of this fact, but the girls looked at each other with cheeks pink with excitement as Kearny arose, and, witn quiet absence of cere-

ing for breath, "and so witty," "Witty said the gentle May, with ju^t the slightest t*ace of defiance in her sweet voice. "Witty, my dear? why dfan't you see that his heart is just breaking with pathos? Witty, indeed why, when he was speaking of that poor Mcxicpn woman that was hung, 1 saw the tears gather in his eyes. Witty, indeed! "Tears," laughed the cynical Sylvester, •'tears, idle tears. Why, you silly children, the man is a man ot the world"—a philosopher, quiet, observant, unassuming." "Unassuming!" Was Sylvester intoxicated. or had ihe mysterious stranger mixed the 'insane verb' with the tamily pottage? He returned before I could answer this selfasked inquiry, and res med coolly his broken narrative. Finding myself forgotten in the man I had so long hesitated to introduce to my friends, I retired to rest early, ynlv to hear, through the thin partition*, two hours later, en tliU'iastic praises of the new guest from the voluble lips of the skirls, as they chat t."l together in the next room before retiring.

At midnight I was stacrled by the sound ot h' rses" hoots and the jingling of spurs bel-'W. A c»nv«-r»auoii D-iween mv host and some mysterious personage in the darkness was carried on in such a low tone that I could not learn its import. As the cavalcade rode away, I a is in "What's the matter?"" "Nothing" said Sylvester coolly, "only another one of those playful homicidal treaks peculiar to the c&untry. A man was shot by Cherokee Jack over at Lagrange this morning, and that was the Sheriff of Calaveras and his pogse hunting him. I told him I'd seen noboby but you and your friend. By the way, I hope the cursed noise hasn't disturbed him. The poor fellow looked as if he wanted rest." 1 thought so, too. Neveitheless, I went softly to his room. It was empty. My imprassion was that he had distanced the Sheriff ot Calaveras about two hourb. 9

that I reckoned was named Jones, and after I fetched him I found out on the inquest that his real name was Smith— that wouldn't make no matter, as long as I got the man.''

The illustraJitVn, forcible as it was, did not strike me as offering a piepossessing introduction, but we were already at the rancho. The barking of the dog brought Sylvester to the dwor of the pretty little cottage which his taste adorned.

I briefly introduced Mr. Kearney. Kearney will do—Kearney's good enough for me,' commented, the soi-dis-tant Kearney half aloud, to my own horror and Sylvester's evident mystification, and then he blandly excused himself for a moment that he might personally supervise the care of his own bea6i. When he was outofear shot I drew the puzzled Sylvester aside. "I have been picked up—I mean I have
