SING Me- TO SLEEP AGAIN l--One night in
Sonora not long since. we lay trying to sleep
Sleep was for us coquett;sh nor would she
Law her head on our pillow. We have in the
past murdered sleep; we have been black
sheep, a wolf in the fold. raging lion seek
ing what he N ight devour and for thie reason
we are now punished we cannot sleep. And
as We lay tossing and tumbling and sqnirm-
into a conglomeration of knots and tangles,
sunGry strains Of vocal music from the ad-
joining parlor fell on our restless ears. We
listened and were Gained. Slowly our limbs
settled into a human shape; the bed clothes
united them. Music hath charms to sooth
even the uneasy sheets. They sung; they
sung good old fashioned and new fashioned
church lures. They sung in bli-sful uncon-
sciousness that there was man in the house:
q strange man at that a man undressed at
that although in bed. Had they known there
was sucn man in the house, they would not
have chippered. But they did not and so
they sung We listened. They sung them
selves clean out they exhausted every bar
in the hymn book and then they discovered
right there in the parlor indications" of the
strange man, hat and cane. Aud then
they were so sorry. so ashamed. so cumfns-
tered, so cumfusticated, so cumcaterpiIlered
that they had sung while that man was there.
II makes all the difference in the world
whether you know there rs strange man in
the hoase or not when you sing, don't it
though?

The Democratic State Central Committee
will meet at San Francisco on Thursday next,
May 18th, to determine when and where the
State Convention will convene for the purpose
Of nominating Governor and State ticket.
The Stockton Republican speaks good word
for that city and suggests the propriety of
the Committee fixing that place as the one to
hold the Convention at this year. We think
il as good place for convenience to delegates
as either San Francisco or Sacramento and
will be glad to see it made the political Mecca
for ISL. The State Convention will probab-
ly be held about the middle of June.

Hon WIN. b. ALLISON arrived in
this city on Thursday, and remain~
ed over the next day. On Friday
there was quite an assembling of
leading politicians here from differ

turned from the East, was represent.

conference had reference toEthe Sen
atorial election. The result may be
inferred from a subsequent remark
of a leading friend Of Mr.. Wilson, to
the effect that ''something had to be
''done-. it won't do to U both Will
"son and Allison. One or the other
"ofthem will have to get out of the
"way."-On being asked which u
would have to be sacrificed, he said

Wilson, s...r. d. 10. x..
We give this for what it is worth.
The indications are that there is to
be q change OF programme. We
shall not be surprised to see Mr..
Wilson's name formally withdrawn
before the meeting Of the General
Assembly. He has developed but
little strength, and there does not
appear TO be any prospect Of increass
ing 1t. The fact being that the field
vas occupied before Mr.. Wilson had
his ain announced as q candidate.
The Republicans generally had exs
pressed themselves as favorable to
Mr.. Harlan or Allison, the latter:.be-
Ing supported by nearly all who did
not favor the formers re.election.-'
Under these circumstances il Is not
that MI. Wilson'S sup.

AFTER THE CITY DADS OF DU>

Wednesday says:-The honorable
mayor and councilmen of Dubuque

night, armed with q summons from
the United States circuit court, at
Des Moines, for the appearance
forthwith before that tribunal, of our
worthy mayor and his aldermaniac
cCmpeers.
The Herald after giving a copy of
the summons says This proceed
ure grows out of the Arnot judgment
case. Those versed In city affairs
will recollect that on the 10Th day OF
October, 1870, s. j. Arnot recovered
a Judgment Of $50, 379 against the
city of Dubuque. in the United
States Court in New York, which
sum, with accumulated interest since
that time until now, must fit up to
$50, 600 In round figures, and that on
the oath day of July, 1871, a writ of
maRdamus was issued from the cir
cult court Of the United States for
the District of Iowa, requiring the
city TO levy a special tax for the
payment of the aforesaid Judgment.
AT a subsequent session of the city
council q resolution was passed or.
dering that a two per cent. tax be
levied, and collected with the regu-
lar tax in December of this Q
but at the same time they neglected
to pass an ordinance to that effect
