THE GERMANS VS.. THE DGMoCRATS.- The Dem
ocratic organ in this city says the ''radical poll
ticians, more particularly in San Francisco, are
working hard to array the Germans against the
Democratic party" We are not advised that
much hard work to that effect has been done at
San Francisco or anywhere else nor, indeed
was it necessary "partcularly in San Fran
cisco" If there is a speciality of German char
acter more remarkable than any other trait, it is
honesty. That they have practced from time
immemorial, and it is the chief reason why Prus-
STA to-day is at once, one of the best admins
tered governments and OF the highest credit
1t is quite natural that people of this character
should oppose the Democratic party, which, rs a
rule, regards the public u poor goose to he
plucked for the benefit Of the party leaders. We
challenge the history of the world for n more
thieving and corrupt administration than the
city government of New York has been ever
since the Democrats have controlled its finances ;
not to mention the late Legislature of this State
But if these examples were wanting in material
to disgust the Germans, the last Democratic
convention Of San Francisco supplied them TO
redundancy. BY the testimony of good wit
nesses, that body sold its nomination for money
precisely as butchers and drovers sell hogs and
sheep. OF course the Germans, who generally
have property to be taxed, could entertain moth
ing but hatred to such an abomnaion. This is
quite enough to account for their opposition,
without lnggiug in the question which now agi-
tates Europe. question on which the Demo-
cratic press of this country very early took
grounds against the wishes of United Germany
and in favor of the outrages of the French EN-
perOr, probably more from n desire to reward
the Emperor for his manifestation of hatred to
the United States, and punish the Germans for
assisting to preserve the Union during the late
war, than from all other causes combined .-Sac-

How Higgins Gently Broke the News.

Yes, l remember the anecdote, the
Sunday School Superintendent said, with
the old pathos in his voice and the old
sad look in his eyes. 1t was about a
simple creature named Higgins, that used
to haul rock for old Maltby. When the
lamented Judge Bagley tripped and fell
down the court house stairs and broke his
neck, it was great question how to break
the news to poor Mrs Bagley. But finally
the body was put into Higgins wagon, and
he was instructed to take it to Mrs. B.,
but to be very guarded and discreet in his
language, and not break the news to her
at once, but do it gradually and gently.
When Higgins got there with his sad
freight, he shouted till Mrs. Bagley came
to the door. Then he said: ~
"Does the widder Bagley live here 20
THE ao5d0ao Bagley? No, sir!"
"Tll bet she does. But have it your
own way. Well, does Judge Bagley live
heres"
"Yes, Judge Bagley lives here"
"I'll bet he don't. But never mind. il
amt for me to contradict. Is the Judge
in?"
No, not at present"

of whom secured the body and then

the man hid himself until the war was

AN old Boston merchant once said to a
young man of good reputation from New
Hampshire, to whom he had just sold lot
of goods, partly on credit: "My young
friend, have a word of advice to give
you, as you are just commencing business
on your own account; it is this: You
should always keep in mind that you must
either cheat your customer or your cred
itor" The young man listened, went
home, thought over the matter, and soon
packed up nearly all those goods, shipped
them to a distant point, and ran away, and
the Boston merchant never got a dollar
for them.

particul RS: "Two young brothers, Eu

cisco Cantu, were engaged in clearing out
a well, at place called Los POsitOs Sud
denly rabid lion appeared, and violently
rushed upon one of the young men, Eu.

ground. The other young man, twenty
years of age, on seeing the ipmit ent
danger of his brother, rushed in turn upon
the beast, who Immediately abandoned
his prey, and furiously faced the one who
intended to dispute him. Jose Maria pos
sesses extraordinary strength, and having
succeeded in drawing his arms around the
beast in an advantageous manner, he at
tempted to choke it The young man and
beast rolled on the ground for some time,
and finally the beast freed itself from the
hold of its oppressor, in dying condition,
and the brave Cantu finished killing it by
smaohing its head with an agricultural in
strument which he was using at the time
when he was attacked. The two young
men were hurt more or less. The beast
was attacked by hydrophobia.

his mind to give it all the attention that is
needed to make crop?
But how many plant orchards aud
hedges, and never after give these any
care of any sort, and yet in due course of
time expect to gather an abundance of
luscious fruit, and see their lands protect
ed by good hedge?
If man has lost nearly a lifetime in
the neglect of his orchard, let him not
waste the remainder of his days in trying
to force that orchard to become young
again. Better, far, begin anew again,
plant young trees; not four, or five, or
six years old, but one and two-year-old
trees. These suffer so little in transplant
ing that they are entirely better than a
three year old tree
The mania for big trees is first subsid-
ing, and this is so much in the right direc-
ton. Plant an orchard of young trees
and plant some trees every year, and as
the old trees die out, add new ones, and an
abundance of fruit is almost certainty

found to succeed in your locality, and &C

aperture just below the base of the spire,
and partly by its own hooks caught upon
the stone moulding round the next story
above the tower. Up this pendulous
ladder one of the men clambered, hang
| ing to the rugs like a parrot to its
perch. On the ledge of the molding
which the hooks of the ladder hung to
was a good base Of operations. A half a
dozen ladders were provided. One was
drawn IN and planted on the new base,
and dashed in place both at the top and
bottom. The top touched the last ledge
of molding in the ascent, the base out of
which the tower arose. On the streets

directions, and along Eighth eastwardly,
witnesses watched the ascent, while near

spectators The two brothers were on the
scene by this time, and the ascent up the
spire proper had been commenced The
first ladder of this final series rested on the
base of the spire, and was dashed to it
both at the top and the bottom, by ropes
passing around the spire. The two men
carried a second ladder up this one, lash
ing the bottom of the former to the top of
the latter The next thing was to secure
this last addition to the climbing apparatus.
One of the brothers CHM red it while the
other held its base Up in that dizzy
height a rope was thrown around the

cured by it, until five or six ladders were
strung in the series. the topmost reaching
within two or three feet of the base of the
cross, which terminates the spire at a
height of 232 feet above the base of the
cathedral When the line of spliced lad
ders had crept up the eastern face of the
spire to this position, a ladder with hooks
at the top was carried up and hooked upon
the cross. One of the brothers assembled
this, took position first upon an arm of the
cross, and then stepped up and stood erect
upon the very top of the upright portion
OF the stone cross Standing there, he
unscrewed the top of the lightning rod,
and tossed it to the ground. Several
variations of the performance took
place about this time. Gree, both
the brothers were on the opposite
arms of the cross. The standing upon
the top of the cross and the climbing
about its arms continued for some time,
when the men descended, leaving their
ladders for continuation of the perform

turned from the sight with the remark
that it was too much for his nerves. 9th

Thrice Armed

Thrice is he armed who keeps within reach OF
his hand specific that at one and the same time
will sire ngthen. regulate and purify his system
when enfeebed, disordered and corrupted.
Such is the three-fold operation of Hostetter' g
Stomach Btters, and hence the great superiority
of that standard vegetable restorative over all
medicines that merely tonics and nothing else.
The effect of the ordinary astringent tinctures and
extracts upon the bowels is disastrous, and upon
the depraved blood or bile they produce no bene-
fetal effects whatever. In dyspepsia and liver
complaint al the fluids and humors of the body
are more less infected, and the bowels are often
badly constipated. An unmodifed astringent-
Quinine for instance--does infinitely more harm
than good in such cases. In Hostetters Bitters,
on the other hand, the stimulating and tonic ele-
ments are qualified with aperients and antiseptic
ingredients. The finest laXatives and blood de-
prrents in the vegetable kingdom are intermixed
with those of purely invigoratipg nature, and
under the operation of this admirable combina-
ton, the three important processes OF invig0ra-
ton, regulation and publication go on together.
The rapidity with which the disordered organZa-
til returns TO its natural condition, under a
course of the Bitters is due to this Every
disturbed function of the body is favorably affected
by the various properties of this comprehensive
and well-balanced preparation. As general rule
the bowels are more subject to irregularities, and
the fluids liable to become vitiated in spring
and summer than in winter and hence the Bitters
are especially valuable as spring and summer al
terave, corrective and invigorant AT all seasons
where the seeds of Intermittent fevers inject the
air. this heathful vegetable elixir should be taken
as protective medicine.
