From. weaverv;I,c

Cram, Rogers & Co. and Rhodes g. Co. have
each supplied us with the Trinity Times Of the
18th. We gather the following items:
Division of the Order Of Sons of Temper
ance was organized in Weayeryille on the 9th
inst. The editor doesn let body know whe-
ther he is going to join the fraternity or not.
The Times says:
"We thank the Courier for its recommenda.
ton of ourselves to the editorial fraternity, and
would say that the last qualification which our
friend Dosh says we possess, seems to be very
necessary one, judging from our acquaintance
with the editorial fraternity of California, which
acquaintance however, is limited to the press OF
Shasta"
Did anybody hear anything drap?
The Times has very severe article relative
to the Senator of that District. That paper can
not exactly appreciate the propriety of having
that district represented by citizen of San Fran
cisco. We pity the editors blindness. The
State of San Francisco is great g institution
possessed of tremendous inhuence-and any
portion of California should be proud to be fur
nished by her with Senators. The Times aston
ishes us.

iBoLITIORIsX REBUKED.

The Rev. Samuel Fl. Cox, D. D., late
Of Brooklyn, N. Y, in speech recently
delivered in that city, at a meeting to
promote the cause of missions in the
southern States, has told some homc-
truths Of the meddling clerical busy
bodies of the North, which are remark
ably well timed. DR.. Cox is one OF the
most venerable, talented, and pious di-
vines in the Presbyterian ministry. We
wonder what the 5000" will say of
him. We give the following truthful ex-
tracts:

influences in all our religion-and preach
the gospel. Instead of this, how MANY

to be done with a gentleman who en-.
cages the affection of a young lady, and
then leave her?
Answer.-Bless him and let him 90.
We always think, in such cases, thai a
young lady has abundant cause for con.
graduation and instead of whining and
crying over ''spilt affection" let her put
on her sunny smiles and endeayor TO
csptiyate more worthy beau. You
may depend upon it, that man who has
no more stability or mind, or honesty of
purpose, than to act in this way 10 a
young lady is not worth q tear of regret;

SToRMING A CITY.

When city is taken by storm, in mil

usages of war, it is @ given up to the SOL

ent from the frightful picture of Badaios,
as it appeared on the night after it had
been carried by the allies, under Well
ington, April 6, 1912. Says an English
officer, who participated in the assault:
1t was nearly dusk, and the few hours
while l slept had made fearful change
in the condition and temper of the SOL
diery. In the morning they were obe-
dent to their officers, and preserved the
semblance OF subordination; now. they
were in state of furious intoxication
discipline was forgotten, and the splendid
trooIs of yesterday had become a fierce
and sanguinary rabble, dead to every
touch of human feeling, and filled with
every demoniac passion that can brutal
