A CORRESPONDENT who was before
the Sonoma County Roard of Exami-
nation says: "Among the many ri
diculous and absurd questions given
by the State Board of Examination at
its last session was, Explain
GRUBE's method Of teaching primary
arithmetic" Out of the forty-eight
applicants at Santa Rosa, and includ-
ing the County Board of Examination,
not one had heard of GRUBEW There
is one peculiar point about this state
ment to which we wish to call atten-
ton. GRUBE's method has been ex-
planned three or four times in the
California Teacher, a concern to
which the State pays a subsidy of
$4 500 per annum. Either the County
Board and fortJ-oisht applicants are
very Ignorant or the California
Teacher is very obscure publication.
No more complete steal of the peo-
ple's money was ever made than the
$4,000 thrown away on the California
Teacher.

FISK, Jr.-not JIM, but reverend
gentleman of Grand Rapids, Michi-
gan-who was charged with a crime
similar in nature to that urged against
BEECHER and GLENDENING has writ
ten letter acknowledging his guilt
and asserting that he will not do as
ADAM, BEEcHER and GLENDENINa
did-plead that ga woman did it."
This fallen minister is not the worst
man in the world. He may be a
rascal-in fact, he admits himself to
be one-but he is not sneaking cow
ard who attempts to palliate his crime
by pleading that a woman was his
tempter. FISK claims to be but a
man, but he is more than a craven.

WITH a PRESENT.

tMr. w. Leith, the gardener of Mr.. Childs,
received yesterday, on his twenty-fifth BIRTH
day, a present from his neighbor across the
way" with the following lines:l
,Tis so pleasant 10 remember
This, thy birthday in December,
May IL often come to pass;
And we wish you all the blessings
Extra fine, with all the dressings
That's what we come for to-day,
Neighbors from "across the way"
May this little birthday present
OFT remember you, how pleasant
We have our evenings spent.
You will think OF that old couple
Who showed never care nor trouble,
Although they are old and gray
Overthere across the way.
Five and twenty years, dear neighbor,
Now have passed with care and labor;
Don't you feel yourself quite old d? [ber,
When you've lived three times that num-
Think of those that will then slumber,
Though you will be old and gray.
Who lived once "across the way"

A Merry Christmas to All.

Some say, that ever ,gainst that season comes
Wherein our Saviour's birth is celebrated,
And then, they say, M spirit dares Stir abroad !;
The nights are wholesome; then no planets
strike,
SO hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
Christmas, with its pleasant memo
ries and hallowed associations, has
come again. 1t is time when all
hands are open and charity reigns in
the heart of every one. To-day the
absent ones return and all save those
who have gone up higher are gathered
beneath the old roof tree. Old times
and pleasant scenes come trooping
along the dim avenue of the past.
They are brighter and fresher and
seem to come nearer to-day than of
all the other days of the year. Old
memories and dead hopes are passed
in silent reviews and glancing back
ward toward the dead sea of Oblivion
many, too many, see much to sadden
and too little to gladden. the heart or
cause wish that these rapidly reced-
ing memories might be stayed in their
flight. Christmas, with all it's happy
scenes and merry faces; with all its
noise and mirth and jollity, is yet
suggestive of thought and retrospect
and self-communion. The mind will
float down the River Time" and re-
visit the elsie" of the "Long Ago" 1t
will relight the long closed and funeral
draped rooms of Memory's Chamber,
and our idols, long broken but ever
worshipped, fit before us. The gentle
face-the loved form-of our boyish
dreams, stands out from the faded
canvas, fresh and beautiful as in the
rosy dawn of life's fair morn. Scorned,
blasted, trampled dead affection quick
ems in in its charnel-house, and while
the mind inaudibly repeats, 80, the
dreary, dreary moorland; O, the bar
rem Shore" the heart thrills with the
old but never forgotten joy. Old
times, old scenes and loved faces all
pass again in memory's grand review.
But why recall the past? 1t is gone;
it is beyond our control. To-day is
ours; it is all we have. Let us eat,
drink and be merry, for tomorrow we
die. Man comes into the world, lives,
suffers and gives place to others who
learn the same lessons, thrill with
the same joys, writhe in the same
anguish and disappear from sight
perhaps from memory. Time rolls on
and the day draws near when those
who know us now and, let us hope,
love us, shall wet our graves with their
tears, mourn, then sorrow and finally
be consoled. Christmas should be
happy day. 1t is the anniversary of
the birth of Him who died that we
might live. 1t is the day on which
harmony and good feeling prevails and
all hearts rejoice. In the old time
Twas Christmas broached the mightiest ale;
Twas Christmas told the merriest tale;
Christmas gambol oft would cheer
A poor mans heart through half the year.

truth in the story running through
the newspapers to the effect that he
had announced or caused to be
announced that he would not take any
nomination for reelection to the Sen

that his friends were urging him for
the mission to Russia, answered that
for very obvious reasons he had never
thought of making any such an
nouncement, and for equally obvious
reasons he had never thought of going
as Minister to Russia. Both stories,
so far as they referred to any declara-

Means Business.

The Los Angeles and Pacific Rail-
road Company held meeting yester-
day, at which it was resolved to COM
mence immediate action. Orders have
already been given for material to
commence the wharf. This is as it
should be. We are tired and the peo-
pie are disgusted with the flood of all
talk and no action in railroad matters.
If loud talk alone would build a rail
road, two or three men we wot of in
Los Angeles would have encircled the
globe with a double track long ago.
The people have come to regard these
gentlemen as large sized whales-reg-
ular spouters-and nothing more. The
Los Angeles and Pacific Railroad
Company, however, give signs that
they do not intend to be classed among
the fin-back tribe. We hope they will
not fall by the wayside, but give us
something to point to and write about
as real live working railroad COM
pany. That they will do so we are
beginning to have faith, and the fol-
lowing letter will tend to inspire some
thing of that sort in the breasts of
others:
