How TO PUT THE CHILDREN TO BED.
Not with reproof for any OF that days
sins of omission or commission. Take any
other time but bed time for that. IF you
ever heard little creature signing or sob
bing in its sleep, you could never do this.
Seal their closing eyelids with kiss and a
blessing. The time will come, all too
soon, when they will lay their heads upon
their pillows lacking both Let them at
least have this sweet memory of a happy
childhood, of which no future trouble or
sorrow can rob them Give them their
rosy youth. Nor need this involve wild
license. The judicious parent will not so
mistake my meaning. IF you have ever
met the man or the woman whose eyes
have suddenly filled when little child has
crept trustingly to its mether's breast, you
may have seen o e in whose childhood's
home dignity aud severity stood where
love and pity should have been. Too
much indulgence has ruined thousands of
children too much love, not one-Fanny

POLYGAMY ILLUsTRATED.-You are
struck with the great number of child
rem everywhere here. Some houses absol-
utely overAowing with them; some tables
are embowered in "olive-braDches." The
different sets get along very we'll together
generally, but that is little wonder, after
the miracle of agreement between the
mothers. Polygamy does not seem to
spare woman the cares of maternity. l
know Norman house in which two mid
dle-aged wives count two dozen children
between them. took two little iair-haired
girls for twins and they were a sort of
polygamy twins, born almost at the same
time in the same house, of different mothers
1t seems to me that the children here do
not look as happy and bright as in our
owns l fancy that the little girls, at least,
have something Of the suodued, repressed
look ofotheir mothers. But some few of
them are pretty, and nearly all neatly and
comfortably dressed. l hear that they
have very good schools, and are under good
discipline at home, answering to the roll
call at night and duly honoring their father
and their mothers.
Many Mormon wives are sisters, and it
is said they get along quite harmoniously.
The very nature of women upside down
and inside out An intelligent "6rst wife,
told Gentle neighbor that the only wick
ed feeling she had about the husband TAX
ing a second wife was that he did not take
her sister, who wanted him, or rather
share in him. She would have liked to
have the property kept in the family. l
saw the other day pair of young wives,
sisters, walking hand in hand, dressed alike
in every particular, of the same height and
complexion, and cf the same apparent age
indeed, looking so exactly alike that it
was almost case of mitigated bigamy. 1t
must seem queer, even to them, to say,
"our piano." our husband" or our pony.

Toadyism is the great Characteristic of
the Anne icas Goldfish aristecracy, says the
Santa lara Argus This characteristic
only needs the incentive of contact with
royalty or its titled minions to burst into
full bloom 1t is quite as effective halling
from barbaric Asia or Africa as when
coming from a civilized quarter. The
latest exhibition OF this debasing character
istic has been called out by the presence
of Charley DeLong and his japanese pro-
teges. San Francis took the lead in it,
aud all the officials there and representa-
tives of Front street made complete noodles
of themselves by eating and excursioning
and serenading the Tycoon lackeys. The
contaeion reaches to Washington, too
and we find Congress seriously discussing
a proposition to appropriate S50,0OO dol
Jars of the peoples money to pay the ex-
pense of wining aud dining the "Japanese

ANECDoTE OF JOHN AaDOLPH John
W. Forney, in his sketches of public men,
writes thus of an incident between Ran
dolph and Kremer, characteristic of both.
After one of the peculiar speeches of the
eccentric Virgnian, which he inerarded
with copous quotations in Latin and
Greek, Kremer arose, and, in strain of
well acted indignation, poured forth to-
rent of Pennsylvania German upon the
head of the amazed and startled Randolph
His violent gesticulations, his loud and
boisterous tones and his defiant manner
were not more annoying to the imperious
Southerner, than the fact that he could not
understand "a word that was spoken. And
when honest George took his seat, covered
with perspiration, Randolph lose and beg
ged the honorable gentlemad from Pen
nsylvan ia to enlighten the House and the
country by translating what he had just
uttered Kremer retorted as follows 81
have only to say in reply to my friend
from Virg MIA that when he translates the
dead languages, which he is constantly
using for the benefit of us country mem
bers, into something like English, will be
equally liberal in translating my living
Pennsylvania Dutch into something the
House can understand" The laugh was
completely against Randolph.

REMNANTS OF FOoD A dish that has
no more than the appearance of palatable-
ness has at least as much to recommend it.
Nicely OF appearance is inexpensive and
within the reach of the humblest. We
have in mind special reference to the serv-
ing of the remnants of food, which, above
all di'hes, require dainty arrangement
If cold meat is to be served, it should be
thinly sliced and laid on a clean platter.
Remnants of food should never be put
away in gravy, if intended to be eaten cold.
Warmed up vegetables, stewed fruits,
sauces, puddings, etc., should appear ON
the table in clean dishes, and not in the
dish they were sent from the table in, un-
less cleaned Some housewives send
warmed up food to the table in the same
dish in which they were warmed, which is
always untidy. A dish which is present
able at table should not be subjected to
the heat required in cookery, excepting of
course, pie and pudding dishes.

A new feature of the Woman's Rights
Movement presents itself; away off in Spain,
however, so that it is not certain that it
will have any influence upon the Suffrage
Without Distinctions Sex Question, in
this country. Heretofore, the men of
Spain have meanly monopolized all the
honor and glory of c,ntending in the bull
fight; but now two young ladies, burning
for distinction, have entered the arena at
Madrid, and have handsomely slain not less
than three roaring and dangerous bulls
And what harm was there in doing this
IF in Spain or anywhere else it was proper
for men to kill bulls, and not only proper
but honorable, Why should women be ex-
cluded from this noble field of human exer
ton? And if women can gloriously figure
in bull fight, may she not be able to do
the State service ola certain sort by crack
ing crowns in the scrimmages of New
York election

Party PLATFoRMs-THE HORNS OF A

Party PLATFoRMs-THE HORNS OF A
DILEMMA.-Mr. Stebbins unquestionable
made center shot in his speech at
the Japanese banquet in San Fran
cisco, though the Union does say that
his illusions, to tbe anti-Mongolian planks
in the State platforms were "out of place,
n execrable taste, and insulting both to
the Governor of California and to the
foreign guests" Mr.. Stebbins is not a
politician, and probably does not under
stand the diplomacy of State platforms.
But whether bis remarks were in good
taste or not, their truth cannot be ques
toned, and when men descend to the
endorsement of platforms in which they
do not believe, we really have very little
sympathy for their feelings under an un-
pleasant rebuke. But the point to which
We wish to call attention is this: the
Union declares that State Convention re-
solutions are "poor authority" and thai
they "never did have the sanction of the
dominant party OF the State" Now, the
only ground it has for asserting that the
people require the repeal of the Five Per-
Cent Law is the same "poor authority" of
State Convention resolutions, which, it
affirms, are of often disapproved by the
best judgment OF the State, sand which
are not meant seriously" What right
has the Union to assert that the majority
of the people did not approve of the resoIu-
tons favoring the exclusion of the Chinese
and japanese ? During the campaign its
own columns contained articles fully indors-
ing these resolutions. Are we to under
stand that its own position of this question
was "disapproved by the best judgment of
the State :" We think that it is extremely
probable, but our gushing neighbor has
got itself into dilemma from which ex
traction will be somewhat difficult In one
breath it insists that Legislators must be
bound by the platform, and threatens them
with dire penalties if they recede from the
strict letter of it. In the next it coolly
declares that platforms are "poor authority" 4"
and that they are often disapproved by the
best Judgment of the State, and are not
meant seriously 1t appears that the
Unions conscience is very elastic where
its interest prompts change, but rigid as
marble when policy demands consistency
There has never been any indication of a
change in public opinion concerning the
Mougolian planks in the platform, yet our
contemporary promptly pooh-poohs them as
fallacious and untrustworthy Il [Sacra.

"Thus, while dispose of a fine business,

The King of Sweden is said to be an ex-
cellent locksmith, and to devote much
time to the improvement of that branch of
mechanics. The King of Portugal excels
as turner of wood and ivory. The MEM
bers of the royal house of Hobenzollern-
possibly with view to some future con.
tingency-have all been trained up to some
useful art. The present Crown Prince is
said to be all expert book binder, and his
wife an accomplished miniature painter.
The Queen of Holland is poetess, but
poetry is an inspiration and not an art.
Louis Napoleon and Queen Victoria have
both essayed to write books. The wife of
the Prince of Wales is superb musician,
and has but few equals among amateurs as
pianist. The Czarina Of Russia paints
miniatures well. The Queen of Belgium
is a horse trainer and a fearless rider,
while the Queen of Denmark is great
housekeeper, and one of the best cooks in
her dominion. 1t is also said that some of
the junior male members of the royal fam
lily of England are proficient as practical
composers, while the Prince Imperial of
France is a first-class typographer.

To Young Men.

A gentleman writingto the New York
Times tells the following truthful story:
A friend Of mine, who is at the head 5of
one of our Government Offices, has in his
employ a large number Of clerks, among
whom was strong, bright boy, occupying q
subordinate position, the duties OF which the
bow filed creditably and satisfactorily for q
few years At the end Of that time a vacancy
occurred. The boy then just grown ap-
piled for the advancement. "ho, i" SAID my
friend, s'I cannot give you the situation"
Il think, sir, am quite capable OF hlhng
that place, dnd 1. would do my best II.
cannot give it to you, and what is more, !, do
not intend to let you remain here in any po;
sition.." Chow, Sir, in what have l failed
to give you satisfaction !? ! have always done
my duty" eyes, and it is that l think well
of you that / wish you to do better: you
never can be anything more here than a
clerk. 1t is a miserable life for a young man
to begin upon. You win pass the best OF
your life here, and at Fifty hayn no more
salary and have done no more than you now
do at twenty, You have, an uncle who is
butcher; you are good accountant, write a
good hand, are honest and bright, and with
those qualities your uncle will be glad to
take you with him." Eighteea months after
this conversation nice little wagon and
horse drove up to the office, well
dressed, fine looking young mangot out. 1t
was the ex-clerk come to thank his former
employer for the advice he had giFSn' him.
He said eff it had not been for you, sir, T.
would have gone dronius on this routine OF
elerksbip all my life; whereas now my uncle
has taken me into partnership. We: have a
large market shop and are doing paying
business" 1t seems to me that this story
might point way out of fdiHiculties offnaipg
situations for unemployed clerks. I have
told it exactly as it occurred, forbearing to
alter the trade of butcher for one that would
suit fastidious taste for agreeable surrounds
Jugs For myself would prefer having
a large market shopto being a shabby gen.

Bagging A City.

Sheriff Bryte has been in office hut briel
month. vet he has been ordered to perform
a Job almost equal to that delegated to
Hercules in the little matter of cleaning out
the Ausean stables. lie yesterday received
a "writ of assistance" from the fifteenth dis
trict court, San Francisco, Samuel Ii.
Dwinelle, Judge, commanding him to place
LLOYD Tevis in possession of-and to eject
all persons. from-that territory, bounded as
follows: Commencing at the junction of the
Sacramento and American Rivers, following
the cast bank of the Sacramento down to
street; thence along the line Of 7 street to
Thirty first street; thence along the line OF
Thirty first street to the American River;
and thence along the south bank OF the
American River to the place of beginning;
the territory in question comprising the
whole of the city Of Sacramento, including
the State capitol railroad works, agricultural
park, &c., &C. This monster writ of assls-
tante" is issued in conformity 10 ayJudge-
mcpt rendered in the fiftecnth district court,
june "a, 1870, in favor of Lloyd. Tevis, at
the suit of Tevis VS.. Ii. A. Cnulield. Alice
Anderson ct al. The suit was brought, we
believe, upon one of the numerous Sutter
titles formerly held by Saunders as sort OF
trustee for somebody. 1t is believed not to
affect all tho land in the city, but, under the
judgement and the writ, Tevis is let loose to
take the pick of the many fat things here
abouts, the whole of which, according to
the City Assessor, amounts to some s6,ooo,-
600.
Sheriff Bryte has sixty days in which to
execute this large sized writ, but nc is some
what puzzled to know how to commence ope-
rations. The entire force of his Office is less
than dozen men, and he docs not very well
understand how he is to get posse OF men
here to aid him in driving themselves and
families out of their homes. lie did think
of making requisition for the Amador
Guard, but on second thought concluded
that that force would prove insufficient; and
then. again, it was doubtful if the Governor
would issue tho necessary orders 10 dispossess
him of his newly ftted-up mansion and his
Adiutant-G cneral of his many lots. Still
the Sheriff feels that the law forces him tc
act, if he bursts in the attempt and though
he is not aversc to milk and water, measures
he is disposed, in this case, to go. the whole
length of the legal tether.
To become the lion of party, it is moi
