"OnY CANNON" has, after much trouble
and deep wading in lexicons, discovered
what "saponoceous" means, but fails to give
the true meaning. Webster says it means,
"soapy, resembling soap, having the quail
ties of soap" Our neghbor thinks he is a
kind of salt. We guess he is that kind the
Scriptures speak of when they say: "The
salt has lost its SAVIOR, and is only fit to be
cast on the ground and trodden under
foot"

GOAT ISLAND MEETING-A large anti
Goat Island meeting was held at San Fran
cisco on Saturday evening last. 1t was
attended by men of all parties. Governor
Booth, Caleb I. Fay, NJ. NJ. Estee, Frank
Pixley and others addressed the meeting.
Governor Booth taking the position that to
give or lease he island to Stanford & Co..
would enadnger the harbor if the company
attempted to make railroad terminus of it;
but really all the company wanted with it
was TO hold it as pistol at the head of San
Francisco to compel her people to give mil
hons OF money to bring the road into that
city. The meeting meant more than what
appeared on its face. 1t was the opening of
the antlGorham- Stanford subsidy fight for
the next Legislature, L. S. Senator AMI
Congressman, and for this reason Booth was
made chairman and chief spokesman that he
might fully commit himself against the STAN
ford crowd at this early day, and that the
people all over the State might know it. BY
thi' act Booth says to Stanford's chickadee
papers, am against the men who hold the
Republican organization OF this State in the
hollow Of their hands, and make it do the
dirty work of the great monopoly. Now do
your dirliest, You funkeys of Gorham.

The CODES are now the law of the land,
and yet no provisions are made by which
Justices of the Peace can procure the very
law under which they are to act. The 10
mans published their laws but hung them so
hieh in the air that no one could read them,
but in this they only went us about "one
better" In many of the counties the Su-
pervisors are buying complete sets of the
Codes for their county magistrates, and we
suppose Cur Supervisors will do the same
thing The twenty-five Justices can be
supplied with the Codes complete for $40.

The motives, the aim, the faith, the

drawn. They can never be higher or

weak, aud that man is religiously weak
because the. source of his religion is
low. If he "professes religion" and
Joins church from motives of interest,

some distance before losing his hold.

broken, the broken bone piercing
through his clothing, boot and all, it
is said, and a piece of the fractured
bone broken off, Hi. leg was broken
between the knee and ankle-a COM
