THE 4 5

In reference to the case ofJohn Muir
ply, who was reprieved by the Gov
ernor while on his way to the scaffold,
the Carson appeal says: "If We held
the power to do it. we should conf
mute John Murphy's sentence to I'M
prisonment for life. The law told
him. as it tells everybody, that if he
killed a nan under certain circumstan-
ces and those circumstances were prov
en- against him, be would be hanged.
He accepted the situation, killed his
man, stood his trial, was condemned
to death and was on the appointed day
ready for the execution of the sentence
which had been put upon him.
Then the State, by the power placed in
the hands Of its Executive. i~nterposed
and said wait. Two Of the Board
of Pardons-the Attorney General and
the Governor, said Wait. 1t is upon
them and not upon Murphy, that The

fering, sorrowing mar Of an opportu-
nifty of being put out of his misery
without further delay. The law had

Doomed men have rights which the
law should respect. Murphy had a
right to be hanged. That right was

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE IN CUBA.
Quite a little brsess has been caused
among the Spanish newspapers in
Cuba by the reference made in the
Presidents message to the state OF that
island. We miss, however, the reck-
less declarations Of hostility which were
so freely made in answer to former
representations. The truth is, the
shareholders have learned to despise
the Washington government and its
menaces. which mean nothing. They
seem to have made up their minds that
the people ofthis country will continue
to regard the mutual slaughter going
on in the island with the same indiffer-
ence in the future that they have in
the past. Their anger is, therefore,
tempered by contempt. Should the
insurgents. however, continue to pro-
gress westward as they have been do
ing the new Congress might feel called
upon to recognize . state Of war, now
that the Cuban insurrection enters on
its seventh year Of duration.

BENICIA, Dec. 81.
Last night, at 6 o'clock, the steamer

time OF the accident the fog was very
thick, and it was impossible to make
an accurate calculation. The steamers
Parthemius and Walker passed the
island in safety, but the Amador, on
her way to Sacramento, missed her
course and came heading directly into
the island, and in such a way AS to
strike the Amelia amidships and crush
her. The passengers stood terror
stricken, awaiting the blow, but at the
last moment the danger was seen, and
by Il skillful of Captain
Fouratt, OF the Amador. the direciness
of the blow was avoided and no Sc
rious damage occurred to boat or pas

ately put back to the relief of the .Aine-

Walker remained with the Amelia to

and tow her to a place of safety, in

A NERRlE CMRISTMAs rO ALL.

To all of our patrons and friends we
send greeting, on this suspicious an
niversary, and heartily wish them a
Merrie Christmas, and many returns.
ON this, of all days of the year. none
but the kindliest thoughts should lie
INDUCED, and none but the best
wishes given. If we have an enemy
let US try to forgive, at least, for the
time being. forget; let luminosity.
hatred and illwill be laid aside in men,
ory of Him who eighteen hundred
years ago assumed the form of man
and ca-le into a lost and ruined world
10 redeem and to save. No matter
what may be cur creed, what III re-
ligious doctrine or belief, surely we
can respect and esteem, if we can not
reverence and adore the character and
works of Him "who went about do
ing good" Should We deny Him all
other claim than this. this of itself
should be sufficient: and all can
heartily unite in laying aside business
and care for IL day, and joining in
the celebration Of His advent upon
earth.
In olden time this. Of all times, was
the most marked by the Christian
world. Months were spent in prepar-
alton for it; the vule log was carefully
selected;
The mis,ietos hung in the ca,tl. hall.
And the solly branch shone on the Old oak
WALL"
The bes, cheer that could be had was
INDUCED; roast beef and plum-pud-
ding. in old England, was dealt out
without stint. and the bitterest enemy,
OH claiming it, received unbounded
hospitality, and was permitted to de-
part unquestioned.
OF later days We, with Il hard,
practical ,grasring, struggling life. have
been inclined to neglect this as we'll as
all other holidays. This should not be
80. We have repeatedly urged that we
as a nation have too few holidays; too
much care and too little relaxation.
In our efforts to acquire the means to
enjoy life, life passes and we are old
men and women without the capacity
of enjoyment before we stopto enjoy, if,
indeed, we are not prematurely oldand
broken down, long before u prime,
by our intense application. There is
TIC wise philosophy in this; life should
be enjoyed as we go along; innocently
enjoyed, Of course, but enjoyed as
much as it can be with in.
nocence, the rights Of others and our
duties 10 Heaven and ourselves.
Therefore, Let US enjoy this holiday
heartily, vet in such a manner as to
leave behind it nc cause for regret.
Let US not selfishlv forget others, but
promote their happiness, and above all
let us lot forget those who upon this
day are less blessed than ourselves with
the comforts OF life. Let non so hun
grv, athirst or cold; let III charity be
wise but not stinted. In this way not
only will We promote their enjoyment,
but enhance our own; and then, in
deed, will all have, what We at the
commencement OF this article wished
them-A MERRY CHRISTMAS.

An impression prevails at the West
that the days of wooden barrels are
numbered, and that within the coming
decade every pound of -four shipped
East ward will be in barrels or boxes
made from the straw on which the
wheat grew. The conversion of straw
into paper is process already quite ia
miliar, and, in the next step Of convert
ing it into paper mache, there is moth
ing to daunt either the intrepidity or
ingenuity of this inventive age. We
have large trays and bowls and tubs
made Of this material now, and the
step which would extend the size to
that of barrel has often been exceed
ed in late years. When slaves go up

is nothing more sure than that the
man will arise who will enable our farm
ers to utilize their straw in the man
ner foreseen by some of the far-sighted

Articles Discovered in Pompeii.

One Of the most interesting features
Of the excavations in this buried city
is the discovery of many homely do
mestic articles of which we have
counterparts. It is astonishing how
many things in common use now were
in use then. Here you will see a.
most every cooking utensil, portable
cooking stoYes, jelly-cake and butter,
moulds in tho imitation of birds and
flours; pots, kettles, crooks, fishes,
cups and saucers, spoons, knives and
forks, dippers, skimmers, sauce pans,
frying pans lamps, lamp stands, flesh
hooks. braziers for cha rcoal. In word
pretty much every kitchen, dining
room or chamber article found in mod
ern use entered into the economy of
the daily life Of Roman antiquity. All
the articles Of a lady's toilet, including
jewellry Of all kinds, gold and silver
ornaments, corals aud precious stones,
were found in houses in Pompcii.
Taken from the retail shops were
steoiyaros, OallanceS, WelSntS, ana
measures. From q doctors Office was.
recovered full set Of sergical instru.
ments, including "pulikins" for ex-
tracting teeth. and trepans for drilling
holes in the skull. There is any num-
Der OF shoemaker, tailor, carpenter,
and black smith tools, and indeed,
implements Of almost every present
mechanical operation. Taken alto
gether, the collection of articles taken
from the dead city is surprising re.
velation to every one, showing that
the ancients invented and per-
fected ten thousa nd implements and ar.
ticles of common life which we still
use with little improvement thereon,
and without giving them credit there.
