The best business treatise that we
ever saw on paper is P. T. Barnum $
Lecture on the art Of money getting,
published entire in his new book. In
this, he says with multitude of other
good, and true things, on page 4S5,
Engage in one kind of bu siness only,
and stick to it faithfully until you sue
ceed, or until your experience shows
that you should abandon it. A con-
slant hammeriDg on one nail will gen.
orally drive it home at last, SO that it
can be clinched. When a mans undi-
vided attention iscentred on one object,
his mind will constantly be suggesting
improvements of value, which would
escape him, if his brain was occupied
by dozen different subjects at once.
Many fortune has slipped through a
mans fingers because he was engaging
in too many occupations at a time.
There is good sense in the old caution
against havingtoo many irons in the fire
at once"
There is no class of men who have
more thoroughly put this hint into prac
tice, than the pioneers of Western
Michigan, nor is there any class who
have been more steadily and surely
prospered, in their varied avocations
than they have. With them forehanded
independence is the rule, and property
the exception. But few of those who
are living, have yet retired from active
business, and, though many of them are
bowed with the weight of years, they
have 10 disposition to live on their
hard earned money, without adding to
their store, and they are now in the
harness of busy life.
Of such is Thomas Conklin of Hart.

CoNGREssIoNAL.--T Republican
Congressional Convention of the Third Cal
ifornia District is to be held June 21st.-
The object in setting it thus early was to
hold it before the State Convention, in
order that there might be no trading, and
for the purpose of naming the strongest
candidate. Evidently the State Conven-
ton will not be held until July, for expert
ence teaches that ga short and lively cam
paign' is always the most efficient. The
Vallejo Recorder on this subject says:
at is thought best to have the several
Congressional candidates make there fight
before the people and secure their dele
gates respectively without reference to
State and local issues. The people demand
man who will best represent them in
Congress-one who will present their claims
as citizens demanding equal protection
with others owing allegiance to our common
flag. This representative should be chos
en- by the free suffrage of the people, be-
cause they believe he will best represent
them in Congress. This cannot be if 8
candidate is forced upon them through
State and county issues"

A KU KLUx EXCURSION IN KEN
TUcKY.-The Ku Klux of Wolfe county,
after retirement of several weeks, mus
tered in force on Saturday night, and went
bravely out on whipping excursion.
They visited number of families, and
before morning these cowardly hounds
had stripped and whipped eleven white
persons, six of whom were women. They
also stole from stable in Campton horse
of James J. Conway, the specia! bailiff of
General Murray. and rode him all night,
generously returned him with note at
tached to his manc, informing Mr.. Conway
that the Klan had taken his case under
consideration, and voted on the disposition
they should make of him. The resolution
to hang him was lost by one paltry vote,
hence the Klan felt obliged to inform the
bailiff that "unless he quit his Id
radical business they would hang him
soon, any way" Possibly some member
of the Legislature has been added to the
ranks of these calico-gowned heroes, and
thus stimulated them to their noble efforts
in whipping white men and women. 1t
would be difficult to enumerate the NUM-
Der of lashes these cowardly sccundrels are
entitled to if they should be caught and
sentenced to this popular mode of correc-
tion-Louisville Commercial.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS GAINS.

At the Virginia City municipal election
on Monday the Republicans elected the
Chief of Police and three Aldermen
Democrats elected the Mayor.
Woodland, Yolo county, has heretofore
been a Democratic stronghold, and the
Democrats elected all the municipal off,
GERS at the first election held under the
corporate authority. The second election
took place on Monday last and the Repub-
licans elected the City Marshal, Assessor,
and three out of FIVE Trustees.
Stockton went for Haight and has since
gave the Democratic ticket majority, but
at the city election held on Monday, the
united Republicans came to the scratch,
and elected every man on their ticket from
Mayor down to Alderman, the first official
receiving a majority of over three hundred
votes.
We believe that all the municipal cleo
tions held in the State this year, without
a single exception, have shown marked Re-
publican gains. The TACT is the Pepubl-
can party is now uuited, aud will go into
the next campaign with confidence, enthusi.
asm, and determination to win. ''Tramp,
tramp, the boys are marching"

BUY IN SHASTA.

The country traders ofthis county, and
northward points, who fail to come to Shas-
ia to purchase their goods, will find them
selves out and injured. Our merchants
are men of capital and determined to keep
on hand large stocks and assortments of
merchandise, and do now, and will contin-
ue to Wholesale and Retail goods cheaper
than they can be purchased at any other
place north of Sacramento. All we ask is
an examination of the quality of the stocks
offered, and comparison of the prices
asked here with those demanded elsewhere.
Quick sales and small profits is the motto
of our business men.

FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR.

The Sacramento Daily Record of April
goth thus speaks of Hon J. N. Chappell /:
"Senator J. N. Chappell, of Shasta
county, passed through the city yesterday
afternoon, en- route from San Francisco to
his home in Shasta Senator Chappell's s
name is favorably mentioned in connection
with the Republican nomination for Lieu
tenant Governor at the coming election
and we learn that his claims will be strong
ly urged by the northern counties of the
State. Senator Chappell has represented
his county in the Legislature during the
past twelve years, sure test of merits a
staunch Republican and if nominated and
elected will do honor to the Office
While this favorable mention, and evil
dence of friendship toward our Senator,
cannot be otherwise than highly gratifying
to him, yet we understand that he is not
in the field as an aspirant for any official
position.

All YINC.

All Ying, who killed one Chinaman and
nearly settled a second one, at Whisky
Greek, about eighteen months ago, and who
has been under indictment for murder for
the past year, was brought to trial last
week, before the District Court. The Dis
trict Attorney and J. S. Follansbee Esq,
appeared for the prosecution, and the
Court appointed J. W. Bracket Esq. to
defend the accused. The trial occupied
several days and resulted in verdict by
the jury, of equity of murder in the first
degree"
The case was difficult one to defend
and in the plea of insanity rested the only
chance to secure acquittal, butth evidence
was deemed insufficient to show that the
accused was Of an unsound mind The
opinion expressed on every hand was that
Mr.. Bracket handled his side of the case
with skill and tact, and that he is not only
well versed in law, but is fluent, logical,
and persuasive speaker.
After the rendering of the verdict,
Judge Rosborough passed sentence ofdeath
upon All Ying, and has set Friday June
I'd as the day on which heexecution shall
take place

The COAST CROP PRosPEcTs.-From
Mr. Gresfdfd, who arrived on Monday from
San Luis Obispo county, we are put in
possession of some light in regard to the
crops in strip of country running from
San Jose south to Santa Barbara He re-
ports that around San Juan, in Monterey
county, and in the coast valleys of San Luis
Obispo, good feed for stock exists and
some prospects of crop of grain. In
Santa Barbara county feed is short and
stock are dying. At Salinas Crossing feed
has all been dried up, and that stream is
lower than ever known before at the low
.er end of Salinas plains, the grass is very
short, and where 5000 sheep could be
kept in former years, 1000 cannot be past
ured now. Below San Jose herbage is all
dried up, with an occasional wisp of dried
grass only to be seen. Stock raisers in the
section south in the country mentioned are
driving their cattlo Eastward across the
Sierras in serch Of pasture. His judg-
ment is that in considerable portion of
the Coast region there will be nothing
whatever produced this season. He draws
picture of desolation that is fearful to
dwell upon.--Vallejo Chronicle.
