RoNDo!-A great rondo game was played
yesterday in Justice Donaho's Coart. Chas.
Gallowitch was one Of the players and the
People the other. Charley made the game
and the People bucked against him, but
Charley made q triumphant rondo, cleaned
out the People and established the innocence
of himself and of the game. There were n
great many spectators, q great many wit
nesses, and very large jury of six, besides
deputy district attorney, common attor-
neys. policemen, etc.. dd infnitum, in at
tendance, all of whom seemed to enjoy
the game and to think that it was one of
the pleasantest amusemen.s that could
be INDUCED in during rainy day
We don't believe that the People will buck
at rOndo any more in that way, in these
parts. This trial should satisfy every
one that it is not gams of chance, for
the People have no more chance to win
at it than Nicely Johnson has of being re-
elected Governor.

SoNoMA VALLEY SETTLING UP The ra-

truly astonishing, in itself, as we'll as the
cause of much rejoicing among our people.
But not more need we feel occasion to re-
joce over the present and prospective future
on account of the steady tide of immigration
that is daily pouring into the county. The
sun does not go down on a day that has not
witnessed one or more white-topped wagons,

horses &c, OF the family, vending their way
through our village, in search of a new
home, in come one of our fruitful valleys.
This is the right kind Of an army Of inva-

our county, and make our future prosper

DEEDS Us. WoRDs-The spoken word, the
written poem, is said to be an epitome of the
man; how much more the done work
Whatsoever of morality and intelligence
what of patience, perseverance, faithfulness,
of method, insight, ingenuity, energy in a
word, whatsoever of strength the man had in
him will lie written in the work he does
Great honor to him whose epicis melodous
hexameter Had. But still greater honor, if
his epic be mighty series of heroic deeds, a
mighty conquest over chaos There is no mis-
taking this latter epic. Deeds are greater
than words. Deeds have such life, mute
but undeniable, and grow as living trees and
fruit trees do; they people the vacuity Of
time, and make it green and worthy Car
lyle.

An Old Rose.

As wandered lightly musing,
Where the richest roses bide,
Culling this, or that refusing;
Casting many bloom aside,
In my way wilted flower
Simpered still, and kept her ground;
10th to loose her olden power,
10th to leave the bellies around.
Fair, though wrinkled; sweet though faded
Not leaf had left its core:
Must she then by all unheeded,
Through all time be known no more?
Is there any life for beauty
After beautys dreary close?
Death is sure the only duty
OF poor old Rose.
Still the rose her doom refusing,
Smiling hides her blight and pain;
While each little wind at choosing,
Bares the unseemly spots again.
Yield thy spicy leaves, dear beauty,
Ere their scent TO poison grows;
Spreading sweets is still the duty
OF poor old Rose.
Die. old Rose and live forever
Soul of scent that cannot die:
Live in every lovers favor,
Every poets minstrelsy.
Scatter thou, and will gather,
Standing fast, through winters SHOWS,
In dream of summer weather,
From poor old Rose

A RIVER WITH RARE QUALITIEs.-In the
province of Andalusia, in Spain, there is
river called the Tinto, from the hues of its
water which are as yellow as topaz. 1t pos
sesses the most extraordinary and singular
qualities. If stone happens to fall in and
rest upon another, they both became in one
years time, perfectly united and conglutina-
ted. All the plants on its bank are withered
by its waters whenever they overflow No
kind of verdure will come up where its waters
reach, nor can any fish live in its stream

until other rivers run into it and alter it ma

Now LTy1NG.-A cotemporary says that
the boy is now living who will be the Presi-
dent of the Republic in 1900. What his
name is or where he resides he does not stop
to inform u.s. He may at this moment be
gathering pumpkins in Oregon or peddling
popped corn around Troy. Daniel Webster
once made a new suit Of satnett" by selling
catfish at shilling string. Wherever be
may be- all unconscious of bis high destiny
he feels his divinity that stirs within him. and
grasps his book, thristng for knowledge
His parents as they answer his endless que
ries, rejoice at bis developing intellect, yet
little dream tLat his will be great name
among men, known wide as the world Or
perchance the hard hand of poverty, or the
cold hand Of orphanage, are moulding and
training him for the patient effort, that self
reliance and resolute will, that fit him for
great achievements He must pass through
the school that prepares him for bis high ca
reer. In his youth many trial and wrong
must break him to the hardness of life. In
his manhood many hardships must be endu-
red, many obstacles overcome, and rivals out
stripped in the race the voice of envy and
detraction despised and hatred and malice
defied. Through such school and training
the President of 1900 will doubtless come,
and is now coming. But from what eondi-
ton in life, from what part of our broad land,
no one can predict or know, but Providence,
who presides over the destinies of all nations.
