The conviction of the boy Maurer for the burning of Mr. West’s house on Alta Hill was principally brought about by the admission of his own tofore stated. This case was the third that has been tried ‘in a series of four in which he and Stevens and Edwards were alleged to have been implicated, no previous convictions having been obtained because pear to be the worst boy in the gang by any means, but had poorer luck than the others and. must now pay the penalty of his infamous crime, It is a poor startin life for a young ally resolve themselves into moons, and the dark places on the moon are not mountains or’ seas, but simply indentations, andthereforetess Ja— minéus. The black spots visible up— on thesurface of the sun are but the holes through-which only the parent Mass canbe seen.” .~ . A Geod Name, Here is something for the boys of Nevada county to read and + ponder over: . We once.visited a public school. At recess a little fellow came up and spoke to the teacher. As he turned to go down the platform the master said: “This isa boy I can trust.” We followed with our eye. and looked at him when he took his seat after recess. He had a fine, opeh, manly face. We thought a good deal about the master’s remark. What a character had that hoy earned. He had already gotten what would be worth more to him than a fortune, It would be a passport into. the best’ store in the city, and, what is better. into the confidence aud respect of the whole community. We wonder if the boys know how soon they are rated by othér-people. Every boy in the neighborhood is known and opin: . lons are formed of him; he has a! character, either favorable or unfavoiable. A boy of whom the master can say: ‘‘I can trust him, he never failed me,” will never want employment. The fidelity, promptness and industry which he shows in school are in demandand prized everywhere. He go ia faithful in little ‘will be faithful in much, A Los Angeles paper is demanding that the Governor shall call in session tillan apportionment bill be passed.

Or coursE it is the policy of the Democratic party to oppose the adMhinistration upon all occasions, This is the reason why it is at the present time standing iti with Conkling and his friends. It imagines that there is to be a split in the Republican party of New York and is already beginning to count out numerous chiekens of one kind or another. But the Democracy is farther away from the White House now than it has been for many years. Popular opinion is with the present Administration,and as longas it behaves itself and runs the Government economically and honestly, the people will stand by it.
