Considerable sensation was created
In the city yesterday morning by the
receipt of intelligence from Calistoga
of the deliberate killing of Major Harry
Larkyns of this city, by Edward j.
Muybridge, the well known photo
grapher. The cause leading to the act
of murder was the discovery of con-
vincing proof by Muybridge of the in
fidelity of his wife with L.arkyns, and
Immediately thereupon he set out to
avenge his wrongs, leaving the city in
pursuit of Larkyns on Saturday, know
ing him to be in the vicinity of Calls
toga, engaged In preparing maps of
the mines in that locality. He reached
Calistoga at o'clock in the evening,
and without stopping for food or rest
he went in search of his intended vic
tim with horse and buggy. Larkyns
had returned from Pine Flat on Satur-
day evening and stopped at the Yellow
Jacket mine, eleven miles from Calls
toga, intending to pass the night

for false Imprisonment and for arrest
OH Il general warrant
The affair of yesterday is one of the
bruta! use of personalities i'm journal
ism. against which the community has
often protested but allowed its protests
to be disregarded. Now that it has cul-
minated i'll an emanation too gross to
be tolerated, now that life Las been
jeopardized, it is to be hoped the peo-
pie will throw off their Slur~ishncss
and stamp their disapproval of attacks
on private character. An example has
been set in making wholesale arrest.
and it should hereafter be the duty of
every citizen, when maligned, to in
woke the aid of the law in the same
manner.

MYSTERIOUS Loss OF STARs.-There
is record of a star suddenly appearing
in 1872 and swelling out with such mag
nitude and brilliancy that it was seen
in the daytime. Tycho Braks, a Danish
astronomer, saw it and wrote an account
of it. 1t was seen for year and five
months and then died out and has not
been seen since. Another in 1904 dis
appeared. In 1910 one became invisible,
then at intervals for two years was seen,
and then was lost as it seems forever. So
late as 1866 dim star was noticed by
astronomers, grew to great brightness,
then grew dim again and in four months
was lost. Several others, say ten or
twelve, were known and are gone What
became of the stars thus lost is a great
mystery.

growth and save the nation, we have
passed through the ha rowing operation
of intestine war, dreaded at all times,
resorted to at the last extremity, like the
surgeons knife but absolutely necessary
to extirpate the disease which threatened
with the life of the nation the overthrow
of civil and political liberty on this con-
tinent. In that dire extremity the men,
bers of the race which | have the honor
in part to represent-the race which
pleads for justice at yonr hands to-day,
forgetful of their inhuman and brutal
izing servitude at the South, their degra-
dation and ostracism at the North-hew
willingly and gallantly to the support of
the National Government. Their suf-
ferings, assistance, privations and trisls
in the swamps and in the rice fields,
their valor on the land and on the sea,
is part of their ever-glorious record
which makes up the history Of nation
preserved, and might, should | urge the
claim, incline you to respect and guar
antee their rights and privileges as citi-
zens of our common Republic. But ]
remember that valor, devotion and 10y
atty are not always rewarded according
to their just deserts.
The results Of the war, as seen in re-
construction, have settled forever the po-
litical status of my race. The passage
of this bill will determine the civil status
not only of the negro, but of all other
classes of citizens who feel themselves
Disseminated against. 1t will form the
cap-stoue of that temple of liberty be-
gun on this continent under discouraging
circumstances, carried on in spite of the
sneers of monarchists and the cavils of
pretended friends of freedom, until at
last it stands in all its beautiful symme-
try and proportions, a building the
grandest which the world has ever seen,
realizing the most sanguine expectations
and the highest hopes of those who, in
the name of equal, impartial and uni
versal liberty, laid the foundation stones.
The Holy Scriptures tell US of an hum
BILE hand-maiden who, long, faithfully
and patiently CLEANED IN the rich fields
of her wealthy kinsman; and we are told
further that at last, in spite of her an
tecedents, she found complete favor in
his sight. For two centuries our race
has reaped down your fields" The
cries and woes which we have uttered
have entered into the ears of the Lord
of SabbaGth," and we are at last politi-
cally free. The last vesture is only need
ed-civil rights. Having gained this,
we may, with hearts overfowing with
gratitude, and thankful that our prayer
has been granted, repeat the prayer of
Ruth "'Entreat me not to leave thee, or
to return from following after thee, for
whittier thou goest, l will go, and where
thou lodgest, / will lodge; thy people
shall be my people, and thy God my
God where thou diest, will die, and
there will l be buried the Lord do SO to
me and more also if aught but death
part thee and me-" [Great applause

DoDo OR No.-The great question as
to whether or no dodo is at this time
in actual existence is exciting the live
liest interest in scientific circles in Eng
land. We published few days ago
report to the effect that such bird had
been found alive in the Navigator Is
lands of the South Sea, and sent to Hon.
olulu ON its way to Europe. This same
fact was made known in England, and
awakened the instant opposition of those
who preferred to believe that the dodo
was extinct. Professor Owen, who is
certainly an authority on every point
relating to animated nature, and is
supposed to be particularly learned on
extinct beasts and birds, maintains that
the Honolulu dodo is no dodo at all, but
only a dodlet. We may assume that
dodlet is the diminutive of dodo, as gos-
ling of goose; and this theory is support
ed by the learned professor who goes on
to say that the extinct dodo was six
times larger than the living dodlet. Mr..
Owen having written quarto volume
on the dodo 1t is scarcely possible to go
behind his dictum; so there is nought
left for ordinary mortals to do but to
mourn the hopes that have deceived
them, and to continue to glide through
this vale of tears uncheered by even
passing glimpse of the formida BILE fowl
of former days.

The book itself has had an eventful
career. AS it was being rebound in a

The Benton Family = Sad History,


"Baron Boileau, who was sentenced
to Imprisonment by a French court for
his connection with the Memphis and
Ell Paso railroad affair, is confined in
the Conciergerie. Mdme. Boileau is at
Boulogne. She and her six children
live through the generosity of their
friends" To many people of Missouri
(says the St. Louis Dispatch) this brief
paragraph will convey more than pass
ing interest. Nine or ten years ago
Baron Boileau was the French consul at
New York city, trusted and respected by
the government, and popular and ac-
complished in his intercourse with the
people of America. He married, while
consul at New York, Susan, daughter of
Col. Thomas II. Benton. The marriage
was most happy one. Baron Boileau
was afterward appointed minister to
Ecuador, and it was while performing
the functions Of his office in that locality
that he was recalled and discharged by
the French authorities. During his stay
in New York he had become involving
in railroad schemes, and had been induc-
ed in an evil hour to recommend, in his
capacity, as an official agent of the gov
eminent, the negotiation of the Mem
phis q Ell Paso railroad bonds. In this
he violated the plain law of his country.
Rigid in all such matters, the French
government carried out the law to its
utmost and imprisoned him. Fremont
is brother.in-law of the Baron, and
the same court which tried him, found
his connection guilty also, and sentenced
the General to serve term of years.
He made good his escape from France,
however, and in the absence of anything
like an extradiiion treaty will probably
keep it good. There was once period
in the affairs of Missouri when Col Ben
ton was its political autocrat. Troubles
not few have come to those whom he
nurtured and loved. Mrs. Fremont is
the wife of man who has been declared
felon, because of speculation which
has ruined his brother-in-law, bankrupt
ed his family, and consigned his wife
and children to charity. Another daugh-
ter, Mrs. VIM. Cary Jones, now widow
residing in San Francisco, California,
has felt most terribly the misfortunes of
life, and though not enduring all the
privations of extreme poverty, is sup
porting herself and children on the
small wages paid to her as teacher in
the public schools.

Baby Asleep.
BY NANCY A, W. PRIEST.

Baby has gone to the land of dreams
Hush, or you'll wake him how still it seems;
carefully shut the bedroom door,
Noiselessly tip-toe across the floor,
See how sweet be looks as he lies.
With fringed lids shutting the dark brown eyes.
One pink palm pressing the dimpled cheek.
And his red lips parted as If to speak.
Yopder, in the low rocking chair.
Is a broken plaything,-he left 1t there;
And there in the corner beside the door
Lies a motley heap of many more;
Jack knife, picture book. marbles, BALL
Tailless monkey and headless doll,
And new, bright pennies. his special joy.
By the father boarded to please his boy.
There lie his shoes on the kitchen Hoor
That ali day long they have pattered Ger
Battered and chubby. short and wide,
Worn at the toe and cracked at the side:
And there hangs the little dress he wore.
Scarlet flannel and nothing more.
But there clings about il q nameless charm.
For the sleeves are creased by his dimpled arm.
Dear little feet that are now so still.
Will ye ever walk in the paths Of illg
Rosebud lips will ye ever part
Bringing pain to a mothers hearty
Keep, o Father. that baby brow
Ever as pure from stain as now;
Lead him through life by thy guiding hand
Safely into the better land.
