From what Gossip has been told he would imagine that Governor Sheakley, of Alaska, who, by the way, is from Mer cer county, in this State, is or ought to be the best satisfied Governor in the United States. He has no Legislature to defeat his pet measures or pass bills over his vetoes, or to trouble him in any of the many ways in which a con tumacious Legislature can trouble the Chief Execu tive. Hu orders are to adopt Oregon laws where they suit the case, and if not, to make his own, and a recent visitor who spent some time in the Executive chamber expresses the opinion that the Governor gives himself the benefit of the doubt. His office is in a arge log house which formerly was the headquarters of the Russian officials In one corner of the lower room is a large Russian stove, so built into one corner of the room as to monopolize a large portion of the room and consume wood to a degree which would make our Forestry Commissioner shudder. The F.xecutive clumber faces the fort and parade ground, and on the arrival of eve y steamer the Governor has a fine view of a game of base ball between the "Steamer picked nine" and an equal number of soldiers from the fort. The lat ter, being trained players always win. The sale of intoxicants is forbiden by law, but the native Alaskans have a way of their own of making an intoxicating drink of fermenting bran, which is noted for its ability to make the average Alaskan crazy drunk and ready for any thing that turns up, and ready to turn up any thing that comes in his way. It is stated that those from more southern climes, who have tried this drink, that it is simply de testab'e, but then any one who has seen the Alaska Indian knows that his stom ach can staud a decoction which would sicken a mule, and that a c'rink may be execrable and yet furnish him with all the exhiliration that his limited comprr hension cau appreciate. Notwithstanding this prohibition it is evideut that no small amount of intoxicants eventually reach Sitka and other Alaskan ports. Recently one of the coast steamers was damaged by running on a rock, and in examining a large number of barrels of flour w'hich formed a portion of the cargo it was found that a nice gallon keg of whiskey w-as nicely stowed away in the centre of each barrel and that' the consignment was intended for one of the Juneau drug gists who also had a grocery store. The tourist who remains a few days at Juneau, one of the largest towns in the territory, which furnishes all of the granb jurors for the Sitka courts, is sur prised to note the large number of drug stores which line both sides of th<* street and which indicate that the drug business must be an excellent one there. Tie visitor is convinced that it must be very unhealthy -when the town can support so many stores of this kind, and his mind naturally reverts to the piles of fish heads and other retuse with which the wharf and shores fre lined, and he connects them with the excellent character of the bnsiness. The character of the dirty In dians who be meets along the street is another indication of the cause of disease, which may be the cause of the thrifty business, but when he is told that a drink of whisky can only be obtained un der the shelter of a doctor's prescription, he can readily exp ain the matter and 1 understand why it pays to be a doctor and keep a drug store in Juneau. With all of these inducements Governor Sheakley is. however, brought face to face with some disadvantages. During the summer months he may sit out on the porch of his Russian log hov.se and read ordinary print untii it o'clock and can take excellent photographs at 10 o'clock at nigbt, In feet he may at any hour of '.lie night, during the summer, see the point at which the sun disaopeared and the one at which the rising sun will re appear. He may hear the yells of the Alaskans at the ranch along the shore of the bay below the little town, or he may hear the songs of the young Alas kans at Dr. Sheldon's mission back of his office" either of which usually received the maledictions of the tired tourists who are used to darkniss at 9 o'clock and who are trying to get the requisite sleep i*i their staterooms at th-: wharf, to enable them to climb the glacier the next day. The Sitka post office is a small wooden building and the post office lioxes art built into one of the front windows an 1 op<*n from the out side, so that they can be opened without troubling the postmis tress,who sits sewing inside, but as the mail arrives, as the Governor puts it semi occasionally, this after all is more of a convenience than a hardship. Governor Slieakley may also carry his drinking water in a Yackatac basket made of finely woven cedar roots, so nice ly formed and so closely woven that they are nater tight and are used by the In dians to boil tl eir fish and meat in, the water l>eing heated by hot stones from a fire nearby. These baskets by the way, are marve sof skill and show what may be accomplished under adverse circum stances aud surroundings. They are made of finely spii' cedar roots woven during the long winter evenings and dyed with vegetable dyes prepared by the natives, and it is interesting to note the regularity and beauty of many of the patterns with each color woven into the structure wi'li a nicety and care which forms a harmonious whole and produces a basket which will comp re tavorably with any, with the additional value that it will hold liquids. The Alaskf n doctor has also improved upon the methods of his more southern breth ern, for instead of waiting to be sent for he starts out into the streets with his "medicine man" hung on his neck and it tells him when he comes opposite to a in which there is anXone sick o- going to be sick within the next week or two. If the sick person is found be is speedily cured by methods onty understood and appreciated by an Alaskan Indian and his Squaw. The standard blood purifier, strength builder and nerve helper is Hood's Sar saparilla. The engineer and fireman of the Pitts burg & Western passenger train south from Kane captured a fine deer alive one day last week. The train had left Kane about len miles when they noticed a deer running a long on the track. They whistled several times to scare it off the track, but the dter kept right on and coming to a trestle its legs fell through the ties. They stopped the train then and with the assistance of some of the passengers caught it alive. Tying its feet like a sheep they placed it in the bag gage car and and sent it to Oil City.

To little boys and girls he brings A lot of sweet and pretty things That fill their hearts with gadness, But to the old he carries cares, A few more wrinkles and gray hairs, And buckets full of sadness. But when the little faces beam Witt joy and with affection, The elder people catch the gleam Of pleasure's bright reflection. And they are happy just because The little folks love Santa Claus. A Bit of Life. A maden sat within the door And sang as many tines before, A man to daily toil passed by, No love or pleasure lit his eye, But when he heard the merry song He whistled as he went along. A woman by the window wept For one who in the churchyard slept, But when upon her hearing fell Th; t tune she knew and loved so well. The flood of burning tears was stayed. And soon a song her lips essayed. Her neighbor heard the tender strain And softly joined the sweet refrain. Thus all day long that one song bore Its joyousness from door to door.— ,tooi>'S PILM cure L4vei i.i., Biliousness, Indigestion, lle>»ilaehe. A pleasant laxative. All l>raefists.

It is estimated that a saving of 10 per cent, will be made in operating expenses alone. The intention is to my up all the small concerns not in the combination. A big bull dog was the first victim to die on Ohio's Electric death-chair, just set up in the State Prison at Columbus He was strapped in the chair exactly as a man would lie, and the hair shaded from his lx>dy where the electrobes were applied. Fifteen hundred voltes were turned on. Death was apparently in stantaneous. The machine will be tried in the presence of the prison managers with a mule for a victim next.

The dif ference is not creditable to this country. In Lexington Ky., there is a club whose youngest member is K9 years old All the other members are over 90. The meetings are held regularly, their object being simply pleasure and mutual im provement.
