EDITORIAL NERVE"
A CALIFORNIA SKETCH.

The scene was in Sacramento
Street, in front of well-known
hotel. 1t was twenty-five years ago,
and San Francisco was in her in
fancy.
Quite a crowd had gathered on the
street, and the cen tire of attraction
was a big fellow, who stood with a
newspaper in his hand, raving aud
cursing.
What's tho matter, Wolff"
asked Il newcomer, who was evil
deutly familiar with the irate man.
"Mattcr ?" returned Wolf, for
that was his name, "matter enough
and rough it'll be for some folks.
Them young whelps that prints this
paper has gone an published some-
thin bout me. q, I'll fix 'cm !!
They'd better never ha' been born !!
They'd better go an kill themselves
after ten minutes it'll be an easier
death fur "cm."
Wolf was Il noted desperate, who,
it was said, had killed more than
twenty men, and but few knew him
who did not fear him. lie was at
that time chief of a gang of loafers
and gamblers that were nearly always
to be found lounging in the vicinity
alluded to, and disturbing the peace
of the whole neighborhood daily
with riotous conduct. If there was
any law in those days it was seldom
executed against such characters, and
in the full conciousness that they
were feared they did pretty much us
they pleased.
The newspaper which had given
deadly offense to Wolf was little
weekly Journal, and its office was in
the second story of building on the
same street with the hotel ] have
mentioned, and only few rods dis
tant. II was published by two young
men-or, l might say, boy $, for they
were only eighteen and twenty years
old, respcctivcly y-named Darrell and
Haynes. The paper aud its youthful
proprietors were already well known
in the city of San Francisco.
The article which had excited the
wrath of the rufiian Wolf was a bold
denunciation of himself and iscrowd
for their lawless conduct, and it par
ticularly mentioned him by name,
charactcri zing him as u " "blustering g
bully" 1t was the work of young
Darrell, fearless boy hailing from
Ohio. Before leaving his home he
had acquired a fair education, so that
he could at least edit newspaper in
those early days; and he possessed,
besides, that courage and daring
which may be natural in the first
place, and which are more thoroughly
developed by exposure to dangers
and hardshirs. Young Haynes was
quite a differcnt kind of person in
point of courage, being an unusually
timOrOus nature.
TO return to the scene on Sacra-
mento street. Working himself up
into his very worst mood-and his
best was bad enough, heaven knows
Wolf tore the paper to atoms and
started for the publication Office.
