How the Gear Met His Daughter.

NOW the Czar met his DhuShters
London Letter describing the Cars landing
at Dover.
As she (the Russian yacht approached
near enough to distinguish persons upon
her deck, figure standing alone on the
starboard paddle.box attracted all eyes.
1t was the Czar. He wore a gray coat
with sleeves hanging loose, and he was
looking through his glass at the landing
place, endeavoring no doubt to catch
the first glance of his daughter. She
was waiting for him at the very edge of
the pier, and as he saw her he kissed his
hand to her again and again. The work
Of getting the vessel alongside of the
pier was one of difficulty, aud both
father and daughter grew impatient.
Finally, the Grand Duchess and the
Prince of Wales left the landing place
and ran up the stone steps to the top Of
the wall which was just level with the
paddle-box on which the Car was stand
ing. The ship at this moment grazed
the side of the pier, and the Duchess,
with what was really daring impetuosity,
jumped upon the paddle-oox, and the
next instant was in her fathers arms.
He held her closely to his heart; he
kissed her again and again, aud she re-
turned his caresses with equal warmth.

A Liberal Gentleman.

II is o favorite argument with those
individuals who are straining every
nerve to defeat Mr.. BEAuDRY, that
his public spirit and liberality only
presents itself when an enhancement
in the value of his ownproperty is La
Bile to follow. We have taken some
little trouble to Investigate the truth
of this charge and find that it cannot
be sustained. We will cite few of
the many instances where Mr.. BEAU
DRY has given property and expended
money for the public good: In 1865 he
purchased the Ballestras tract--a
vineyard-through which he opened
Center, Howard and Ramirez streets.
These streets are fifty feet in width.
On them he built six bridges, which
together with the land occupied by the
streets he gave to the city. He pur-
chased attract of land lying Northwest
of Sixth street and through this land
he opened streets some sixty and some
eighty feet wide. The land for these
streets did not cost the city dollar.
We shall not particularize but if so
disposed we could show where he has
expended thousands of dollars in
grading streets by which the city was
greatly benefited, and for which he
has never asked the Taxpayers to re-
imburse him to the amount of a single
dollar. His method of selling lots on
the monthly payment plan has ena-
bled hundreds of families to secure
homes who could never have pur-
chased lots on the cash down princi-
pie practiced by the parties who are
now going beyond the confines of truth
for arguments to defeat his election.
1t is fact we'll known to every we'll
informed citizen that Mr. BEAUDRY
has always been and is now u liberal
minded and enterprising citizen and
no unprejudiced voter will deny but
that the city's progress and develop
ment would have been greater had she
possessed few more such men.

If the will of the Democracy of CAL
ifornia is embodied in the expression
Of their papers, Senator P. A. ROACH
of San Francisco, chief editor of the
Examiner, is the favorite candidate
of that party to succeed NEWTON
BooTH. Those of our Democratic ex-
changes that have yet expressed their
preference for the Gubernatorial can
didate have done SO in favor of the
gentleman named. Mr.. ROACH is
popular with the masse for the reason
that he is known to be thorough
honest man and because during his
long public and journalistic career he
has always been on the side of the
people. If the State is to have DEM
ocratic Governor it will be difficult to
find man who will be more general
ly acceptable to the rank and file of
all parties than Senator ROACH.

Hunting for Himself.

The ludicrOuS spectacle of 4 man
looking for himself and suffering the
keenest chagrin at failing to find him
self, was exhibited on he;Union Pa
cific Railroad not long ago. An East
arn-bound emigrant train stopped at
Rock Creek station for breakfast. One
emigrant strayed away, and the first
section of the train started without
him. He reached the second on time
and managed to get away. His friends
in the first section missed him and
were seized with dread that he had
been. killed. The conductor tele-
graphed to the second section to look
for him and bring him or his body to
Laramie. The passengers turned out
readily to aid in the seach. Foremost
among them and displaying terrible
anxiety, was the man for whom they
were looking. He hunted for the miss
ing emlgrant with zeal which could
only be accounted for by the fact
unknown to him-that he was look
ing for himself. During the whole
day and following night the search
was continued, the unconscious cause
of it suffering deeply to think that he
had been lost. When he reached Lar
annie the idea never occurred TO his
friends that the railroad employees
might still be looking for the missing
emigrant, when one bright individual
startled the crowd with the remark
that our hero had been looking for
himself and had failed to find himself.

The Wisdom of liberation.

If, as some philosophers hold, the
human race is growing weaker, the
evidence is also equally strong THAI it
is growing wiser and something better
Perhaps no people III the world pos
sess stronger qualities for adapting
themselves to circumstances than they
of the United States. Certainly no
people are more liberal in their own
views or more tolerant of the views of
others. Only q few years ago the ma
ton was divided. a civil war such as
the world had never before beheld
ragged with demoniac fury. To-day
how different. The soldiers that then
met as deadly enemies are to-day
neighbors and friends. A great party
that for years has swayed the Govern
ment is overthrown, wrecked, crushed
out of existence between the rising
and setting of the sun, and business,
national and Individual, moves on as
serenely as if the will of forty million
people had remained unspoken. But
it is among theological teachers and
the converts to creed and denomina-
tion--a class as remarkable for intoler-
alton rs zeal in the denunciation of
antagonistic faith-that we notice the
growing wisdom of liberation. The
spirit of religious persecution is rap
idly giving away to a feeling of pious
unity, opposing faiths are realizing
that good may come out of Nazareth.
Ministers of different creeds change
pulpits, and the Methodist divine
breaches God and morality to Pres
byterian congregation. Christian
charity is beginning to exist in fact as
well as in name. A, Sunday or two
ago, in San Francisco, Con-
gregational minister, Presbyterian
clergyman and a Jewish Rabbi assist
ed in the installation of Universalist
preacher After this the millennium.

THE Democratic majority in the
House of Representative is now con-
ceded to be 70. What will they do
with it? They may use this majority
as the stepping stone to national su-
premacy, or they may make of it the
milestone that shall sink the Demo-
cratic party until it is drowned in the
muddy waters of corruption wherein
now lies the corpse of the Republican
party. The present majority it is true
will give the Democracy but mega
tive strength, the Senate and Presi-
dent being against it, but it is a
strength which, while it cannot force
the enactment of just measures, can
yet prevent the passage of bad ones.
1t may check and defeat such swind-
ling schemes as the Credit Mobiler
and it can Investigate those of like ilk
that have had the sanction and encour-
agement of Congress heretofore. What
the Democrats will do with their ma
jority is what the people are eager and
anxious to know.

How to Light the Streets.

The HERALD Office is lighted with
gas manufactured by the Union gas
machine. The gas is of first rate
quality, giving forth a pure, white
light, much superior to. the ordinary
coal or brea manufactured article,
which costs in San Francisco $4 and
in this city 81 so per thousand feet.
The gas made by the Union machine
costs less than 50 per thousand. Since
the lighting of the HERALD office,
one week ago, several of these ma
chimes have been ordered for private
residences in this city and some ten
or fifteen Others will be ordered as
soon as the parties become satisfied of
the great superiority of the Union.
These machines are automatic and are
by far the most complete, cheapest
and most convenient apparatus for
furnishing light that science has yet
offered this benighted world. A large
number of private residences in San
Francisco, Oakland and Alameda are
lighted by the Union gas machine,
and up to this time no complaint has
been made or accident occurred.
They are the best and most economic
means for obtaining good light avail
able to the masses. But our purpose
in writing this article is to make a
suggestion to the people of Los Ange-
les. Our street-lanps are not lighted
and it seems that at the ruling rates
for coal gas, the municipal exchequer

The Pacific Mail steamer Mohongo,
from Panama and way ports, arrived
to-day. The Saranac lay in the har-
Dor of La Paz, prepared to protect
American citizens, even at the cost of
bombarding the town. No belliger-
ent act had been committed and the
Saranac's commander said no further
trouble would ensue.
The steamer Cyphrenes sails at 10 A.

She will carry English mails and q
pretty full complement of passengers.
The weather continues very unfav-
orable for the postponed trotting race
between Occident, Fullerton and
