Prophecy and FuIfiliment.

A British paper says that eight or ten
years ago mechanic, whom the work
ingmen elected to Office III that city,
declared that the time was near at hand
when there would be but six hours
work day for workingmen, and when
man would put on his overalls and
take them off but once a day. The eff
feet of his theory upon himself was
that he left tools, donned black kid
gloves, and from being first-class me-
chanic, commanding the highest wages,
he became very poor refor1ner, living
upon assessments uponhis fellow-work-
men, and soon brought his own family
to want.

Ii this were night in June, love,
And | were it's fairest rose,
would Chamber up to your easement
And watch your calm repose;
would blush at my boldness, darling,
And whisper, ''No one knows"
The night, the dewy silence,
The south wind wandering slow,
Ana my watching face at your window,
would bring you dreams, 1 know;
"ouid you murmur, "My climbing roses
Are the sweetest flowers that grow"
The deep blue slumberous heavens,
The stars so far away,
The nested birds all sleeping.
The fitting moths at play.
Would leave you free to whisper,
Would leave you free to stay

ASTONISHING Few persons are aware
OF the time, talent, and expense neces-
sary to develop and perfect an invention.
The new. Wheeler 6 Wilson No. 8 Sew
ing Machine, advertised in our columns,
has already cost that Company over
$500, 900, and to bring it well before
the public will require 5000, 900 more.

as to launch irst-class ocean steam

The Mountain and the Squirrel.

The mountain and the squirrel,
Had quarrel.
And the former called the latter ''Little Prig
Bun replied
"You are doubtless very big;
But all sorts of things and weather
Must be taken in together
To make up a year,
And sphere;
And [ think it no disgrace
To occupy my place.
If I'm not as large as you,
You are not so small as |,
And not half SO spry;
I'll not deny you make
A very pretty squirrel-track.

If / cannot carry forests on my back,
Neither can you crack a nut.

An OVer-LOyal Lord,

A strange scene occurred at the
bennington railway station in England
recently, on the occasion Of the Queen
visit to Balmoral. Just before the train
arrived Lord Aylesford, captain in the
Warwickshire Yeomanry Cavalry, now
training at Warwick, rode up at the
head Of his troops and demanded to be
permitted to occupy the station as a
guard of honor. As all demonstration
had been strictly prohibited by Her
Majesty he was refused. After an in
effectual attempt to force his horse
through the gateway, his lordship dis
mounted and had scuffie with the por-
tiers, two Of whom had their hats knock
eel off. Eventually he got up to the
station and asked Mr.. Chiffon, the sta
ton master, to inform the Queen that
he was there. This was refused. and
he then asked for one of the lords-in-
waiting, whereupon Lord Ponsonby
was called and had some conversation
with them. When the train left Lord
Aylesford gave military salute and
afterwards returned with his troops to
Warwick. His lordship insisted upon
his right to be in the station, and said
he was above the law.
So numerous have been the applica-
tons for permission to copy the works
Of the late Sir Edwin Landseer in the
National Gallery, London, that a reso-
luton has been passed that no more
than two students at time shall copy
or study from any one of the pictures
by Sir Edward Landseer in the gallery.

"the times are hard, and I will lower

that capital and labor are reputed to be
at variance ?-Nea0 York Ledger. re

An Educational Journal.

Through the kindness of DR.. LUCKY,
City Superintendent of Public Schools,
we are in receipt of the initial num-
Der Of the Pacific Coast Educational
Journal. The Journal is published at
the well-known and popular printing
house of J. H. CARMANY & Co., and
w. w. STONE is editor, and the new
educator is to appear only quarterly.
1t is designed to fill the place made
vacant by the narrow mindedness,
illiberality and hopeless imbecility of
of the California Teacher. The num-
Der before us is filled with articles of
general interest to parents, teachers
and pupils. A free expression of
thought and opinion is apparent
throughout the contributions, and in
his salutatory the editor talks as one
having no little self-admiration circle
to serve, and gives promise of broad,
high, liberal course, which will COM
mand for the Journal the respect and
cooperation of all intelligent teach
ers. We cannot hope for much from
an educational publication that ap-
pears but four times a year. We are
moving far too rapidly to remember
these quarterly stopping-places. The
lesson begun in one is forgotten long
before we reach another. The pub
fishers must issue the Educational
Journal once a month. It's mission
demands its appearance at least that
often. While we are in the role of
counselor, let us urge editor STONE
to guard against danger which will
beset him from this time forward
that Of becoming the ergan or San
Francisco's school ring. He will find
it difficult to avoid this danger. If he
becomes its victim he must strike the
words " Pacific Coast" from the title
of his journal. There are excellent
schools and accomplished school
teachers outside of San Francisco,
and an educational journal can only
become useful and popular in the pro-
portion it is frank and fair and impair
tial on all issues and with all locali-
ties. A popular journal of this char
acter must open its columns to all
opinions on education and matters
pertaining thereto. Men and women
who have devoted themselves to
teaching differ on the best mode and
manner Of doing it. Let them discuss
these modes through the columns Of
the Educational Journal. 1t is by An

1T is fact-an ugly one, perhaps,
but nevertheless fact-that the gam
ing table is always the last resort of
those who have failed through all
other means to raise money.
Nations, corporations, individuals,
churches, all try gambling before sur
rendering Sse last hope for obtaining
moneys National and corporation
lotteries have saved many n bank
ruptcy, and a well-managed fair con-
Quoted by the fair has removed the
mortgages and added the spires to
hundred of debt-oppressed churches.
France is the last nation to which
this scheme presents itself. She is
terribly in debt. Trade is dull and
taxes are high. The suggestion has
been made to overcome this trouble
by licensing gambling, under Govern
ment control. The German gambling
places are all closed. If France should
act on the suggestion she would be
filled with the sporting men and wo-
men of the world and her license rev.
enue would be immense.

WE hear it reported that in many
sections of the State the owners of
vineyards are digging up their vines
to make room for more profitable
crops than the grape is proving. To
dig up our vineyards is great waste
of time, labor and money. Men have
spent years in growing these vines,
and so much valuable time should not
be thrown away. The greater portion
of the vines of this State produce the
wine grape, and it is the product of
this grape that the grower finds it
difficult to sell at a profit. Suppose
we try the raisin grape. 1t might be
grated into the wine vine, and thus
the growth Of years would be saved.
The raisin grape Of California is
among the finest in the world, and
the raisin market is worldwide.

AN ANONYMOUS ISLANDER,

Our enterprising competitor, Captain
| Eads, who has succeeded so well in OBJ
structing the navigation of the Mississippi
above his barge trap, has taken measures
to put stop to the outlet trade from the
mouth Of the river. This will make
bayou Of the river and send the whole
trade Of the West kiting through the tun-
nels and over the bridges to the Eastern
ports. Among other powerful agencies en-
ployed for the benefit of the bridge and tun-
mel interest is that of the correspondent
press. This spreads the jetty scheme before
the public broadcast from Corpus Christi to
Bangor. Among other contributors to his
torical truth is paragraphin published
letter to tie St Louis Republican to the
following purport:
There is no other opposition to the Eads
schem except such as comes from the Tow
boad Association and from defeated as
pirant for office in Missouri.
We do not know how many disappoint.
ed aspirants in Missouri, who not being as
fortunate as the anonymous correspond
ent, may be disposed to blackmail the
jetty scheme, but We do not know any
interest in New Orleans that is not in
favor of the canal Our representatives
in Congress are unit in its favor, and
the representative usually speaks for the

ceedings of our Legislature, our Chamber

obstruction. By the way, will the .Nis.

Hartley. who conducted the improve.

the same Improvement would answer

doubts whethe: ANYBODY has ever adduced
any experiment in this country. or any
other, which proves that the Eads jetty
offers any prospect OF effec.ing the pur.
pose. The Sertonian bog. in which whole
armies have sunk, oI the Hontine marshes,
