The good people of San Jose are re.
presented as mildly exasperated at the
lateness OF the hour at which the San
Francisco mail arrives. Let US see
The distance from San Francisco is
Some II miles. Fourteen Of this must
DO made by steamer, and three-from
San Quentin up-by rail. The steamer
with ayoring wind and tide, can make
her part of the distance In one hour.
II there are no COWS loaflng on the
track, tho train will run up in ten
minutes. Allowing five minute, for
tho transfer at San Quentin, we have
tile whole trip In an hour and a quar-
ter. 1t Is very evident that tho malls
cannot arrive any earlier 1--WE do not
know at what hour they do a~rrive) I'M
less they are started Off earlier. IL may
be objected that our explanation APP
piles to San Rafael instead of San Jose.
We can't keep track OF all the mail
routes.
Some remarks by a writer In the
Overland Monthly concerning the ben
ehcent influence of the Press, have
into our impossible intel
lect the following Reflections Re-
election 1.-The beneflcent influence of
the Press Is most talked about by the
Press. Reflection 2-If the Press were
less evenly divided upon all social,
political and moral questions, the In
fluencs Of Its b~eneficence would DO
greater than 1t Is. Reflection 3-The
Of Its influence would DO
more marked. Reflection 4-If the
Press we're more wise and righteous
than 1t Is, 1t would escape the reproach
If being more foolish and wicked than
t'should be. (Reflection 5-The fore
going reflection Is not ar Identical
proposltion). Reflection CO a) The
of the press cannot be pur-
for money; (b) 1t can If you
have enough money.
The following exquisite story OF
Anna Dickinson Is upon Its regular
Autumn tour. "While travelling West
she was asleep In a car at night, with
her head resting upon a muf on the
back Of a seat, when a man sat down
her and pressed her foot with
his. Miss Dickinson wakened III
looked him full in the eye and
laid: do that again and l will call
the conductor and have you put of
The train.' The man went into an
other car" 1t Is a pity to spoil 80
excellent a tale, but candor compels
Us to explain that after the man had
zone, Miss Dickinson was heard to
nutter, "The coward! ~ meaning
to express her contempt for o
man who had not the courage to con-
.lnue his advances, like a moving body,
the line of least resistance.
