No DISGRACE to Work.

When Lysander, the Laced@~
monian general brought some hand
some presents to Cyrus, the young>
est son of King Darius, the Prince
politely led his guest through his
extensive gardens, and showed him
their vrrious beauties.
The General was much gratified
with what he saw, and he could not
find words to express his pleasure.
"Everything charms me-" he
said, but what strikes me most is
the exquisite taste and wonderful
industry of the person who drew
the plan Of these gardens.
Cyrus modestly replied, " |
drew The plan, and many of these
trees were planted by my own
hands. "
The General was so much. sur>
prised, that the young Prince adj
ded, Il assure you that when my
health permits, ! never sit down to
table to ca, without having first
earned an appetite by labor of
some sort.
Sensible people have been found
in all ages and countries, and l
shall prove this point by selecting
rly examples at random, and with
wide spaces Of time and distance
between them.
Ona d dark, December day, in
1924, "a friendicss youth, Of eigh>
teen years, entered London print
ing house, seeking for employment.
" Where are you from p asked
the foreman.
" imerica' wac the reply.
= Ah," said the foreman, ssfrom

Jog employment as aprinter Well,
10 YOU really understand the art of
printing? Can you really set type!"
The Intelligent looking lad made
no reply, but going up to one of the
cases, IN few minutes set up this
verse from the first chapter Of St.
Johns Gospel: "Nathariel said
unto him, Can any good things come
out Of Nrzareth =? Philip saith unto
him, Come and see 46th verse
Ii was done so quickly, SO correct-
/ ly, and conveyed so we'll adeserved
rebuke, that the youth was at once
engaged to work in the Office.
This promising lad was Benjamin
Franklin, who is numbered among
I the great ones Of the earth.
Twcnty~four years after the
American thus introduced himself
10 the London printer, another
STRIPPING of sixteen set off from his
quiet Virginia home, to survey the
immense tracks Of wild land be-
longing to Lord Fairfax, in the
Alleghany mountains. Although
we'll born and bred, he is not above
work. as he is setting off, with q
stout heart, to carry out the pur'
poses of his employer. In early
childhood he had been taught il
the Church Catechism, that ht
must be contented to ''do has duty
in that state Of life to which
plea5eth God to call him.

Written for the Enquirer Southerner
TO CLARENCE.
Alas too true her boy il dead,
His spirit is on high,
Yet in his dying agony.
His mother was not by
She knew not Deaths cold s!>nel.
Upon his brow was pressed,
That never more his little head,
Would pillow on her breast.
Kind loving friends stood round his couch,
They caught each look and tone.
For in their hearts he was beloved
As If he were their own
They prayed that in his distant home,
God would their hearts prepare,
And soften with his gracious Love.
The woe they'd carry there.
That prayer was heard-Ie sent 2 dream.
And when the morning broke.
Tha, mother in trembling, listening dread
Awaited the sorrowtul stroke.
1t fell! the solemn pageant came.
At the lonely sunset hour,
Bringing to that stricken home.
Their crushed and wilhered Howcr.
Now lying beneath tie pines, lie Sleeps,
They sigh his mouufui lay.
Help them TO say Thy will be Goae
For him lis Eternal day.

The Independent recently tried
To "n)i@c ;he Rev. DR.. r. L. Dabney,
Of iiampaen Sidney, Va, as one of
lis contributors, upon " religious
and other themes " to be assigned
him, and to be treated according to
his own convictions. DR.. Dabney
replies to the editor, Rev. Mr..
Hayes Ward, in a vigorous letter
dated June 9TH, which undoubtedly
expresses the views of multitudes of
orthodox writer's and readers re-
specting the influence of that news
paper. He declines to give the
proprietors OF the Independent "the
use Of his name to help them to in~
troduce their newspaper into a
number Of Southern families where
all its ito them) startling novelties
would be sure to be read" and
says " Neither my common sense
nor my conscience permit me to ac-
cede to this bargain. He objects
firmly to the secular, political and
latitudiuarian theological principles
Of that journal, and concludes by
saying: 4 could by no means per-
nit my own sons to read Independ.
ent statedly; the golden rule re>
quires me to decide the same way
as to other peoples sons
This is keen and honest, 1t has
been somewhat of a mystery to
many people why other orthodox
and popular writer's have so long
patronized a paper which zealously
aims to undo all that they teach,
and whose latitudinarianism covers
so many yagaries and noxious err
rors.- Christian MtelHgencey.

The Petaluma Argus has cast the po-
litical horoscope and figures it out thusly,
Owing to the apathy Of the Republicans
the Democracy will make some gains
this year. The Republican majority in
Congress will be considerably reduced as
it has often been before, and the Demo-
Gratis will probably carry one or two
States in which the party has been in Il
minority lately. This will so elate the
:: grand old party" shat it will straight
way cut its own threat. The leaders will
at once begin to talk about assuming the
rebel debt, the notification Of the Consti-
tutional amendments, payment for the
slaves etc. The people will wake up to
the possibilities of Democratic admins
tration, and the Republicans will nomin-
ate for President true and tried patriot
like Sherman, Washburn, Jewell or
Hawley, and elect him by the biggest
majority any President has yet received.
The so-called Independent party will run
a ticket in three or four States, which
will not receive an electoral vote"

KLAM4Fn.-The last Legislature pass
ed law disorganzing klamath county
and dividing its territory between Hum
boldt and Siskiyou-presumably in res
ponse to the desires of the klamath peo-
pie. The office holders of klamath do
not feel disposed to surrender their grip
so easily, as we judge from the fol-
lowing dispatch to the Chronicle =
Judge Cary, of klamath county, issued
q writ of prohibition short time since,
upon the application of the District At
torney of that county, directed to the Su-
pervisors and other officers Of the county,
and to the Supervisors Of Siskiyou and
Humboldt counties, forbidding their TAX
ing any steps under the klamath Annex
alton Act, towards carrying out the pro-
visions of that Act. This writ the Su-
pervisors of Siskiyou and Humboldt
have declined to. obey, and have proceed
ed to appoint Commissioners to appor-
ton the debt of klamath county, Siski-
you appointing Elijah Steele and Abisha
Swain, and Humboldt appointing John
A. Watson and John Keleher as such
Commissioners. On the other hand the
klamath county officers have decided to
yield obedience to the writ.

AT the foot of the Rocky Mountains,
just within the Canadian Dominion,
there has been established thieves
and outlaws paradise, which already
numbers a population of 500 men, be-
sides some women and children. These
people are fugitives from outraged Unit
ed States justice. They spend their time
in illicit distiling, and barter the product
with Indians for furs. 1t has been eX-
pected that a collision would occur be-
tween Canadian police expedition and
these outlaws. The expedition was to
consist of three hundred mounted police
men, commanded by n military man,
and the result of the scrimmage will be
awaited with interest.

A FAVORED REGION 1t is becoming
more and more apparent that the people
of California are especially favored by
nature, and that this region is, of all 9th
er portions of the habitable globe, the
most inviting. We are now favored
with cloudless skies and genial temper
ature, while in other portions of the coun-
try furious storms prevailed, causing
great destruction of life and property
More lives have been destroyed by tor
nadoes and thunder storms in the East
ern States during the present summer
than have been lost by earthquakes in
California since the State was first set
tied, yet earthquakes have been made a
bugbear to frighten the timorsome from
settling in this State. 1t will eventually
be understood that California is far less
subject to those convulsions of nature,
which are destructive to life and property
than many of the other States of the I'm
ion. When our people themse yes fully
understand the real advantages they pos
sess, and will make united effort to
utilize and make available the latent re-
sources of the State, California will be
generally conceded as the most favored
region on the Stockton Hade-
pendent.

Don't Fool WITH THE ELEPHANT.-
At the performance given by the circus
company and menagerie, in Virginia
City, at 10 o'clock on Saturday morning,
for the accommodation Of miners who
work in the afternoon, an officious indi-
vidual gave the elephant chew OF to-
baccc. The infuriated animal made a
pass at the fellow with his trunk, and
tore off one sleeve and the whole side of
his coat. Had he been foot nearer, he
would undoubtedly have been killed.
Several showmen attracted by the up
roar, put the man out, warning him that
if he ever showed his face within the
canvass again the elephant would kill
him if he found an opportunity.

CONFLICT OF INTEREsTs.-Th farm
ers Of Linda township, Yuba county,
whose lands touched on the Yu5a river,
have called a meeting for August 8th,
for the purpose of considering what &C
ton is necessary to be taken in reference
to the rapid filling up Of the Yuba river
bottom by the sand from hydraulic mines
in Yuba and Nevada counties. They
find the water and sand encroaching from
year to year upon them, and that one OF
two things seem to be imperative-min-
ing must cease or the farms be abandoned.
