The bottom fell out out of the Excelsior Companay’s ditch about one o’clock Thursday morning at a point just in front of Michells Dancing Academy, letting the stream of water down into Thos. Mahar’s mining tunnel forty or-more feet below’the surface, and from the tunnel into Deer creek. The break was not discovered till daylight, by which time a hole some 25 feet in diameter at the top had been made over the tunnel and focusing atits roof. Workmen are engaged in repairing the damage. The tunnel was blocked up by the debris. Memorial Day. ‘*Memorial Day is not far distant,” said Mrs. Charlotte Locklin as she invited the ladies of the G.

THE WINE INDUSTRY. Considered From Moral Financial Stand points. The mass meeting at the Theater Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Dr. Mary E. Little presided. -After some good singing had been listened to Mre. A.J. Rapp was introduced and delivered a very interesting and inStructive address on the subject of grape growing and wine making. She said in substance: In the organization of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union there are more than forty departments of work, and anyone belonging to the ranks can find work particularly adapted to each peculiar taste or inclination. The “Flower Mission” department is of exceeding beauty, and I believe it will be as assiduonsly kept as is Decorration Day when it becomes generally known the 10th of June is Flower Day for the W. ©. T. U. So far as can be arranged there are superintendents for each department of work. That of viticulture is presidad over by Mrs. 8. M. M. Woodman of Chico as State officer, and your speaker as superintendent of that depa:tment in this county, and it is to our work.we wish to call your attention this evening. In the temperance work in California perwe have to contend is the wine pro duct, concerning the value of which much has been said and written; but of the other‘side, the injuries resulting from wine making and drinking, comparatively little is published. We have no certain knowledge of thé original manufacture of wine, but in all probability it was first drank fresh and sweet as Pharaoh drank it, just expressed from the grape. The statement is so often made by the papers and many of the people that wine making is the greatest industry of the State that asa rule itis so regarded. The welfare of the State depends upon the welfare of the people; andwhatever injures the people injures the State. We want to show you there are other industries that far exceed the wine product in California. The wine product of 1887 amounted to $2,780,000; the wheat crop of the same year was $26,250,000; the barley crop amounted to $8,800,000; the wool clip was more than'$4,784,000 ; the lumber was worth $8,000,000; the produet of the gold and silver thines of ( alifernia exceeded all the other industries. 1t is to the interest of those engaged in the liquor traffic that wine making should be made prominent. Because the wine industry’is an uid tothe saloon business, and wine drinking prepares the way for stronger drinks which constitutes the principal trade of the saloon, is why we raise our voice against the entire industry. A production which continues to give employment to laborers is vastly more profitable to the State than one which is all ready for market. When wine is made it gives employment to no one except those who sellit. But wheat, wool, lumber, etc., continue to give employment to many laborers in many ways, A fair estimate is 344 tons of grapes to the acre. Wine grapes are worth from $10 to $25 per ton, raisin-grapes from $13 to $30, and table grapes from $60 to $100. But in localities adapted to apples, peaches and cherries, it is claimed the profits on these fruits exceed those of grape raising. The olive will flourish in every locality where the wine grape will grow successfully, and yield $500 to the acre with comparatively small cost of cultivation. Prunes are also more profitable than wine grapes, and adapted to the same localities. Even now many men who have been engaged in raising wine xrapes in Napa and Sonoma valleys are grafting table and raisin grapes into the old vines, while others are pulling up the vines entirely ‘and planting other fruits. When men are tilling the soil and planting trees anu vines, why not select the varieties that will put the most money into the working man’s pocket instead of something that will give.the profit to a second or third man? All interested in wine making claim the vse of our nalive wine will promote the tétaperance cause; but itis an undeniable fact there are more saloons in wine growing districts, according to the population, thanin any other places, In the town of Sonoma, having a population of 600, there .are 16 saloons, and in wine making districts entire families who never drank intoxicants before they began to make wine are drunkards today—made such by the use of their own ‘‘pure grape wine.’”’ Sow wine and you reap drunkards. California with her native wines as a promoter of the temperance cause, stands third in the list of this entire union in having more saloons in proportion to her population than any other State, there being one to every 99 inhabi-. tants. France is constantly quoted as ‘a proof of the beneficial effects of the use of light wines, but the testimony of the residents of Frauce prove there is a vast amount of drunkenness in all phases of society. From 1820 to 1880 the number of insane in France increased [ronr 3,000 to 54,000, with 40,+000 idiots added to the list, and the increase of all thie is due to the use of wine originally. No, dear friends, don’t ask us to imitate France, for as Americans we most positively assert we don’t wish to follow France as a leader. We cannot be too careful of stand still or alone, but are constantly helping someone to be better or drag‘. lady, you can do no better thing than ‘win the confidence of your brother. Make him realize and know your are interested in his welfare, get his confidence, and. your influence will be a power demons can’t overthrow. How often it is suid boya can’t do right tily th ey have seen and committed just so much evil. Our boys were given to usscrofula, all humors, . ,; ie ng. -Union----attracted_a large audience. . the influence we wield for we neither as pure and innocent as were the little girls, and if they do not grow up so it is because of the indifferent negligence and wrong teaching of parents. O, that God would help us to teach our children that what is wrong for a girl to do is equally wrong for a boy. 1 the interest I feel in their welfare they would understand why I am so much concerned about them. Dear boys, a few years more and you will be the rulers of the land. You will hold the balance of power in your hand. Yon will be the ones to whom our little boys are looking for examples. Tf it is your ambition to be one of God’s noblemen, it is in your power, not by yi-lding to temptation, but by looking steadily onward and upward with your standard set high above everything that will ‘injure either you or your brother man. When tempted, ask yourself the question, Is is right? If not, say no, and stick to it in spite of all the sneers and jeers that can be heaped upon you. Knowing the awful danger of the saloon is why we want to save our boys from its influence. Dear fathers, do you know your examp'e mukes it almost impossible for mothers to teach by precept? Graduating in early years from Sunday school, temperance’ meeting and church, they follow your example and haps-the greatest obstacte_with whict, . go to the saloon—a place where women . must not go. If we put out our hand to save even our own, we are called cranks, fanatics. Thank God, cranks are good for something, and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union is just the crank that is going to turn ‘ound and round, and keep turning until every saloon: is ground out ob this entire nation. Our boys and girls stand a mighty phalanx for the protection of home. When parents teach their children they have souls to be nurtured and cared for, teach them their first obligation is to God, and urge them to daily ask his guidance in all they say and do, there will be no moe saloons. Saloon _keepers—don’t grow on Bible soil. By legalizing the saloon you say to your boy: There now is a place for you to go and spend your time and money. Yourboy? Ah, no! you warn your boy against the saloon and its fostered evils, but you make it a proper place for your neighbor’s boy, ind I am your neighbor. I, a poor, defenseless woman who has no voice tn-what shall or shatl not” be, “and . when I see my boy, my only son, the pride of my life and hope of my declining years on the sure road to ruin, and put out my hand to caltwback my own boy, I am cursed at and called a fool for interfering with a man’s business. O, Father in Heaven, if man will not heed the cries of heartaching and heart breaking mothers to stop this awful evil, do Thou answer our prayers and take our boys to Thyself in their-innocence and purity before they become a victim to the saloon. I believe I voice the sentiment of every mother’s heart when I say, dearly as I love my own precious little boy, a thousand times sooner would I lay him on the hillside in the cemetery than to have him live and become a victim to the saloon. This, dear friends, is why we ask for. better protection for our boys and why we feel that every man is responsible for every drop of. liquor sold in this city until he has done his utmost to put it down. And dear women who have husbands, brothers and sons, are you not willing to make some sacrifice in their behalf? Come then, join .our ranks -and let thé white ribbon on your breast be u silent reminder, ‘It was done for your sake.’4 Fathers and brothers, one and all, in the name of humanity, in the name of your own beloved boy, give us your aid and influence to help us save ours.

The Sacramento Bee of Saturday publishes the following: When the Golden Gate Special rolled into the Sacramento depot yesterday afternoon it was a few minutes late. There were about ‘thirty passengers aboard the magnificent train. Two gorgeous new cars were attached, and this was their trial trip. They excel, if possible, in beauty and richness the first cars sent out several months ago. They are upholstered in beautiful plush of light blue, ornamented with leaves and vines of light green silk. The interior panels of the car are of French plate glass. The carpets are heavy and as soft as velvet. An improvement in the new cars is the addition of a dressing room for ladies, in one end of which is a bathroom fitted with all modern conveniences, with-marble sinks, stands, etc. There are no smoking rooms in the new palaces on wheels, the lovers of the weed being required to go to the observation car, a cozy place with “lazy” chairs and tables placed about conveniently for those who may feel inclined to play cards. It cannot be denied that the Golden Gate Special is the handsomest train in the world. —+ 0 Oe-— Sabbath Breaking.

Fan tan is a very simple game and is very fair, There seems to be no opportunity to cheat. The dealer, Fa “ ee ron Amertcan Paradise, seat on the bench and opens the game. He is a thick: set Chinaman, with a broad and repulsive face, He wears a dull and sleepy expression from excessive opium-smoking, but he is far from stupid. He conducts himself with great dignity, and looks with a haughty glance at the wash-men and gamblers who crowd about the board, anxiously waiting for the game to open, He takes a bag of “cash” from the pocket of bis blouse and draws a long, tapering wand trom the ample folda of his sleeve. He draws from another pocket a metal cover which looks like the cover of a butter dish. All these he places on the matting which covers the table. In the middle of the table juat under the gas jet is a square painted onthe matting. The lamp or gas jet is covered with a tin screen which shields the eyes of the doaler and throws the rays of light directly on the center of the table. This is the only light in the room; The effect is a peculiar one.

He takes a handful from them-on the -matting near the square and covera them with the metal cover referred to. The bets are then made, the money wagered being placed on the different corners of the square, The dealer then takes up his long wand, and with a point dexterously draws out four coins atatime, The number left after ho has drawn out the last four ‘‘oash"’ that can be drawn from the pile determines the disposition of the bets. If one coin or —“eash" 1s left, corner number one wins; if two “cash" are left, corner number two wins; if three “cash” corner number three wins, andif four are left, corner number four Wins, and all other corners lose. The players bet against the bank, the winners getting ond for one and the losers losing, Fan tan is simply-betting on the equalization of coins. r t There are, of course, rules governing the game, by which bets are made conditional, These bets are signitied by ‘‘coppering,” if that term: may be used, by strips of red leather and black and-white beans, When & wager is_made and a large sum is staked, it is the custom to roll up the money and place itina “blind bet.'’? If the bet should win, the cashior of the game counts the money and gives the player an equal sum, and, if it loses, the cash is dumped into the capital of the game. “ONLY” A REPORTER. , How Sorely the Most Patient of All Newsp paper Workers Are Minjudged, 8 Although the writings of newspaper mon are more generally read than those of ahy ing machines, tennis and croquet sets, telescopes, microscopes, hammocks, tents, etc., every before advertised by any.

Still, there is too mich of the old idea remaining. Here isacasein hand. A city editor of one of the big dailies had oocasion to introduce into a somewhat solect New York family an intimate and dear friend of his. The editor’s friends were charmed with the young man and spoke of him afterward in the highest terms. Later they learned that he was a reporter. One of the young ladies on hearing this said: “You do not mean to say, Mr. 8., that Mr, B. is only a reporter?” The intonation upon the “only” so disgusted Mr. 8. that he never called upon the young lady again. Mr. 8B. is now one of the editors of a big New York daily. Besides, not only 1s he a -graduate of Harvard College and law school, but he is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and a member of one of the most prominent families-in the city. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, and.it is to be regretted that there are still some scoundrelly fellows engaged upon the staffs of leading papers. They are, however, day by day, growing beautifully less. ‘ : canon atl ey A KICKING WITNESS.

C., on business for a Boston concern, How it was lie was summoned as a witness in a police court case in which he had no interest, and was, therefore, provoked at being callod to testify, the Listener hardly remembers, However, being there and put on the stand, the following scene was enacted: Clerk— You solemnly swear~Witness—No, I don’t. * Judge—What do you mean, sirt ig Witness—I do not swear. I affirm. Then followed a discussion between bench, bar and witness, ended by the judge, who said: . ‘ ' “Very well; let him ‘affirm’ if he prefers that way.” \ The formula recited in the antiphonal manner, the clerk said: a “So help you God.” = . No answer, ips sia “Bo help you God!’ repeated the clerk, in a tone that smacked of irreverence. “So help you God,” said the judge, also with slightly irreverent color. , Witness—I shall not say it. ; Judge—You must!” ne Witness—I have the right to say: “This I say under the pain and penalties of perjury.” f + More discussion, ending with the witness’ triumph, Then said the clerk: ‘Kiss the book,” handing bim a dirty and most disreputable-looking volume, Witness refused, on the ground that there was no law compelling bim to kiss the book, or even to touch it. And for the third time heconvinced them thet he was right. 4 .

THE WINE INDUSTRY. Considered From Moral Financial Stand points. The mass meeting at the Theater Wednesday evening under the auspices of the Woman's Christian Temperance Dr. Mary E. Little presided. -After some good singing had been listened to Mre. A.J. Rapp was introduced and delivered a very interesting and inStructive address on the subject of grape growing and wine making. She said in substance: In the organization of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union there are more than forty departments of work, and anyone belonging to the ranks can find work particularly adapted to each peculiar taste or inclination. The “Flower Mission” department is of exceeding beauty, and I believe it will be as assiduonsly kept as is Decorration Day when it becomes generally known the 10th of June is Flower Day for the W. ©. T. U. So far as can be arranged there are superintendents for each department of work. That of viticulture is presidad over by Mrs. 8. M. M. Woodman of Chico as State officer, and your speaker as superintendent of that depa:tment in this county, and it is to our work.we wish to call your attention this evening. In the temperance work in California perwe have to contend is the wine pro duct, concerning the value of which much has been said and written; but of the other‘side, the injuries resulting from wine making and drinking, comparatively little is published. We have no certain knowledge of thé original manufacture of wine, but in all probability it was first drank fresh and sweet as Pharaoh drank it, just expressed from the grape. The statement is so often made by the papers and many of the people that wine making is the greatest industry of the State that asa rule itis so regarded. The welfare of the State depends upon the welfare of the people; andwhatever injures the people injures the State. We want to show you there are other industries that far exceed the wine product in California. The wine product of 1887 amounted to $2,780,000; the wheat crop of the same year was $26,250,000; the barley crop amounted to $8,800,000; the wool clip was more than'$4,784,000 ; the lumber was worth $8,000,000; the produet of the gold and silver thines of ( alifernia exceeded all the other industries. 1t is to the interest of those engaged in the liquor traffic that wine making should be made prominent. Because the wine industry’is an uid tothe saloon business, and wine drinking prepares the way for stronger drinks which constitutes the principal trade of the saloon, is why we raise our voice against the entire industry. A production which continues to give employment to laborers is vastly more profitable to the State than one which is all ready for market. When wine is made it gives employment to no one except those who sellit. But wheat, wool, lumber, etc., continue to give employment to many laborers in many ways, A fair estimate is 344 tons of grapes to the acre. Wine grapes are worth from $10 to $25 per ton, raisin-grapes from $13 to $30, and table grapes from $60 to $100. But in localities adapted to apples, peaches and cherries, it is claimed the profits on these fruits exceed those of grape raising. The olive will flourish in every locality where the wine grape will grow successfully, and yield $500 to the acre with comparatively small cost of cultivation. Prunes are also more profitable than wine grapes, and adapted to the same localities. Even now many men who have been engaged in raising wine xrapes in Napa and Sonoma valleys are grafting table and raisin grapes into the old vines, while others are pulling up the vines entirely ‘and planting other fruits. When men are tilling the soil and planting trees anu vines, why not select the varieties that will put the most money into the working man’s pocket instead of something that will give.the profit to a second or third man? All interested in wine making claim the vse of our nalive wine will promote the tétaperance cause; but itis an undeniable fact there are more saloons in wine growing districts, according to the population, thanin any other places, In the town of Sonoma, having a population of 600, there .are 16 saloons, and in wine making districts entire families who never drank intoxicants before they began to make wine are drunkards today—made such by the use of their own ‘‘pure grape wine.’”’ Sow wine and you reap drunkards. California with her native wines as a promoter of the temperance cause, stands third in the list of this entire union in having more saloons in proportion to her population than any other State, there being one to every 99 inhabi-. tants. France is constantly quoted as ‘a proof of the beneficial effects of the use of light wines, but the testimony of the residents of Frauce prove there is a vast amount of drunkenness in all phases of society. From 1820 to 1880 the number of insane in France increased [ronr 3,000 to 54,000, with 40,+000 idiots added to the list, and the increase of all thie is due to the use of wine originally. No, dear friends, don’t ask us to imitate France, for as Americans we most positively assert we don’t wish to follow France as a leader. We cannot be too careful of stand still or alone, but are constantly helping someone to be better or drag‘. lady, you can do no better thing than ‘win the confidence of your brother. Make him realize and know your are interested in his welfare, get his confidence, and. your influence will be a power demons can’t overthrow. How often it is suid boya can’t do right tily th ey have seen and committed just so much evil. Our boys were given to usscrofula, all humors, . ,; ie ng. -Union----attracted_a large audience. . the influence we wield for we neither as pure and innocent as were the little girls, and if they do not grow up so it is because of the indifferent negligence and wrong teaching of parents. O, that God would help us to teach our children that what is wrong for a girl to do is equally wrong for a boy. 1 the interest I feel in their welfare they would understand why I am so much concerned about them. Dear boys, a few years more and you will be the rulers of the land. You will hold the balance of power in your hand. Yon will be the ones to whom our little boys are looking for examples. Tf it is your ambition to be one of God’s noblemen, it is in your power, not by yi-lding to temptation, but by looking steadily onward and upward with your standard set high above everything that will ‘injure either you or your brother man. When tempted, ask yourself the question, Is is right? If not, say no, and stick to it in spite of all the sneers and jeers that can be heaped upon you. Knowing the awful danger of the saloon is why we want to save our boys from its influence. Dear fathers, do you know your examp'e mukes it almost impossible for mothers to teach by precept? Graduating in early years from Sunday school, temperance’ meeting and church, they follow your example and haps-the greatest obstacte_with whict, . go to the saloon—a place where women . must not go. If we put out our hand to save even our own, we are called cranks, fanatics. Thank God, cranks are good for something, and the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union is just the crank that is going to turn ‘ound and round, and keep turning until every saloon: is ground out ob this entire nation. Our boys and girls stand a mighty phalanx for the protection of home. When parents teach their children they have souls to be nurtured and cared for, teach them their first obligation is to God, and urge them to daily ask his guidance in all they say and do, there will be no moe saloons. Saloon _keepers—don’t grow on Bible soil. By legalizing the saloon you say to your boy: There now is a place for you to go and spend your time and money. Yourboy? Ah, no! you warn your boy against the saloon and its fostered evils, but you make it a proper place for your neighbor’s boy, ind I am your neighbor. I, a poor, defenseless woman who has no voice tn-what shall or shatl not” be, “and . when I see my boy, my only son, the pride of my life and hope of my declining years on the sure road to ruin, and put out my hand to caltwback my own boy, I am cursed at and called a fool for interfering with a man’s business. O, Father in Heaven, if man will not heed the cries of heartaching and heart breaking mothers to stop this awful evil, do Thou answer our prayers and take our boys to Thyself in their-innocence and purity before they become a victim to the saloon. I believe I voice the sentiment of every mother’s heart when I say, dearly as I love my own precious little boy, a thousand times sooner would I lay him on the hillside in the cemetery than to have him live and become a victim to the saloon. This, dear friends, is why we ask for. better protection for our boys and why we feel that every man is responsible for every drop of. liquor sold in this city until he has done his utmost to put it down. And dear women who have husbands, brothers and sons, are you not willing to make some sacrifice in their behalf? Come then, join .our ranks -and let thé white ribbon on your breast be u silent reminder, ‘It was done for your sake.’4 Fathers and brothers, one and all, in the name of humanity, in the name of your own beloved boy, give us your aid and influence to help us save ours.

The Sacramento Bee of Saturday publishes the following: When the Golden Gate Special rolled into the Sacramento depot yesterday afternoon it was a few minutes late. There were about ‘thirty passengers aboard the magnificent train. Two gorgeous new cars were attached, and this was their trial trip. They excel, if possible, in beauty and richness the first cars sent out several months ago. They are upholstered in beautiful plush of light blue, ornamented with leaves and vines of light green silk. The interior panels of the car are of French plate glass. The carpets are heavy and as soft as velvet. An improvement in the new cars is the addition of a dressing room for ladies, in one end of which is a bathroom fitted with all modern conveniences, with-marble sinks, stands, etc. There are no smoking rooms in the new palaces on wheels, the lovers of the weed being required to go to the observation car, a cozy place with “lazy” chairs and tables placed about conveniently for those who may feel inclined to play cards.

Fan tan is a very simple game and is very fair, There seems to be no opportunity to cheat. The dealer, Fa “ ee ron Amertcan Paradise, seat on the bench and opens the game. He is a thick: set Chinaman, with a broad and repulsive face, He wears a dull and sleepy expression from excessive opium-smoking, but he is far from stupid. He conducts himself with great dignity, and looks with a haughty glance at the wash-men and gamblers who crowd about the board, anxiously waiting for the game to open, He takes a bag of “cash” from the pocket of bis blouse and draws a long, tapering wand trom the ample folda of his sleeve. He draws from another pocket a metal cover which looks like the cover of a butter dish. All these he places on the matting which covers the table. In the middle of the table juat under the gas jet is a square painted onthe matting. The lamp or gas jet is covered with a tin screen which shields the eyes of the doaler and throws the rays of light directly on the center of the table. This is the only light in the room; The effect is a peculiar one. The dealer opens his bag and empties his pile of cash The Transcript publishers long ago had a full real zation of the situation, . and have endeavored to conduct their business go us to meet the requirements How well they have succeeded is best , demonstrated by the steady growth of WhatSver success and popularity the TRansthis paper’s subscription list, cript has attained has been bared on ita endeavors tu -keép pace with the demand in the matter of news-giving.

Not content with giving their patrons the San Francisco Daily Call for $3. a year (half price), the Weekly Call for nothing (less than half price) and the Texas Siftings for 50 cents a year (one-eighth price)—these prices will be increased on April 15tli, remember— the Transcrirt has nearly completed arrangements for offering ‘the largest and most desirable line of premiums, such as solid gold and silver Waltham watches, baseball photograpbing ‘‘kits,” firesrma, sewoutfits, amateur , it. and _places . pf course, Pt on the table. He takes a handful from them-on the -matting near the square and covera them with the metal cover referred to. The bets are then made, the money wagered being placed on the different corners of the square, The dealer then takes up his long wand, and with a point dexterously draws out four coins atatime, The number left after ho has drawn out the last four ‘‘oash"’ that can be drawn from the pile determines the disposition of the bets. If one coin or —“eash" 1s left, corner number one wins; if two “cash" are left, corner number two wins; if three “cash” corner number three wins, andif four are left, corner number four Wins, and all other corners lose. The players bet against the bank, the winners getting ond for one and the losers losing, Fan tan is simply-betting on the equalization of coins. r t There are, of course, rules governing the game, by which bets are made conditional, These bets are signitied by ‘‘coppering,” if that term: may be used, by strips of red leather and black and-white beans, When & wager is_made and a large sum is staked, it is the custom to roll up the money and place itina “blind bet.'’? If the bet should win, the cashior of the game counts the money and gives the player an equal sum, and, if it loses, the cash is dumped into the capital of the game. “ONLY” A REPORTER. , How Sorely the Most Patient of All Newsp paper Workers Are Minjudged, 8 Although the writings of newspaper mon are more generally read than those of ahy ing machines, tennis and croquet sets, telescopes, microscopes, hammocks, tents, etc., every before advertised by any.

A notable example of this is the case of the little police judge whose name appears in the New York papers more than that of any other person. From the stories published about this little yuatice one would imagine that for wit and learning he is un. 8urpassed, The fact is that the police reporters are responsible for most of the wit accredited to him, and that he is far from being ‘earned. Tho whole secret is'that the “ judge" knows how to treat his friends the reporters, Hundreds of instances might be added to this. Again, how sorely reporters are misjudged.

Still, there is too mich of the old idea remaining. Here isacasein hand. A city editor of one of the big dailies had oocasion to introduce into a somewhat solect New York family an intimate and dear friend of his. The editor’s friends were charmed with the young man and spoke of him afterward in the highest terms. Later they learned that he was a reporter. One of the young ladies on hearing this said: “You do not mean to say, Mr. 8., that Mr, B. is only a reporter?” The intonation upon the “only” so disgusted Mr. 8. that he never called upon the young lady again. Mr. 8B. is now one of the editors of a big New York daily. Besides, not only 1s he a -graduate of Harvard College and law school, but he is a gentleman in every sense of the word, and a member of one of the most prominent families-in the city. Of course there are exceptions to every rule, and.it is to be regretted that there are still some scoundrelly fellows engaged upon the staffs of leading papers. They are, however, day by day, growing beautifully less. ‘ : canon atl ey A KICKING WITNESS. How aYankee Convinced a Southern Judge of His Rights, 4 { The Boston Transcrtpt Listener's informant had gone in his early youth, and early in the century, to Charleston, 8. C., on business for a Boston concern, How it was lie was summoned as a witness in a police court case in which he had no interest, and was, therefore, provoked at being callod to testify, the Listener hardly remembers, However, being there and put on the stand, the following scene was enacted: Clerk— You solemnly swear~Witness—No, I don’t. * Judge—What do you mean, sirt ig Witness—I do not swear. I affirm. Then followed a discussion between bench, bar and witness, ended by the judge, who said: . ‘ ' “Very well; let him ‘affirm’ if he prefers that way.” \ The formula recited in the antiphonal manner, the clerk said: a “So help you God.” = . No answer, ips sia “Bo help you God!’ repeated the clerk, in a tone that smacked of irreverence. “So help you God,” said the judge, also with slightly irreverent color. , Witness—I shall not say it. ; Judge—You must!” ne Witness—I have the right to say: “This I say under the pain and penalties of perjury.” f + More discussion, ending with the witness’ triumph, Then said the clerk: ‘Kiss the book,” handing bim a dirty and most disreputable-looking volume, Witness refused, on the ground that there was no law compelling bim to kiss the book, or even to touch it. And for the third time heconvinced them thet he was right. 4 . There was much merriment in the court, which reached its height when the judge said: “Weill, you are the crabbedest stick of a Yankee J ever did see, and that is saying a td ue: Farming East and West: The Western farmor, with his hundreds of-acres of new and fertile soil, looks with contempt upon the small and often sterile farms that are . te-be found in-some parts of New En-" gland.
