sS One of the most disgusting and useless
of all the vices of which man is guilty, is the
habit of profanity. A man may steal, and
that which he thus obtains may, in some way.
be of benefit to him; he may lie, and thereby
accomplish its object; but where, in the name
of common sense. is there anything gained
by swearing What good does it do? OF
what benefit isit ave have heard men of sense,
reason and Judgment who never spoke, save
with an oath; and yet there is mot one OF
these persons but would be asha med TO use
such oaths in the presence of ladies And
why? Because, in the frs tplace, it would be
considered extremely and onensiyely dis
courteous; secondly, it is not gentlcmanly,
and thirdly it is disrespectful. Would not
these objections make a gentleman abandon a
habit so pernicious? 1t would seem SO. Yet
such is not the case. The habit is so com
mon that little boys of ten years of age ring
out an oath with vim and gusto that would
do credit to a swcarer of forty years prac-
tice Boys are imitative, and they think it is
manly to do that which they see done by those
older themselves. Now, there would be a lit
tie excuse for the offence, if it was a habit
that man could not abandon. Butas he can
if he ciHthere Is no palliation for the offence
1t is not eNcusable on the plea of necessity
but can fall only under the category Of sense
less, useless, foolish habits

THE REPUBLICANS IN COUNCIL

The California Republican State Con-
vention met yesterday at Sacramento.
The opposing factions of the party, the
monopolists and anti-monopolists, mar
shaded their respective forces for the
fray. In vain, however, the delegates
from the rural districts attempted to
turn the tide of battle in their favor,
for on the first ballot Senator Sargent
was elected Chairman and Marcus D..
Boruck Secretary. There are many
rumors afoat relative to the manner in
which the Convention is being worked
and the proposed platform of prin-
ciples. George c.. Gorham is chief
engineer of the wire works of the Con-
vention, and it is said that he favors
the adoption of resolutions strongly
denouncing monopolies in general and
the Central Pacific Railroad in particu-
lar. The object of this proposed attack
on monopolies is to deceive the people
by making it appear that Sargent,
Gorham IL Co. have cut loose from the
railroad, and have suddenly been con-
verted from worshippers of Stanford to
his most violent denunciators. This
rumor is scarcely credible. 1t seems
incredible that men endowed with the
shrewdness and cunning for which
Gorham and Sargent are noted would
resort to such transparent subterfuge
to conceal their rea! sentiments and de-
ceive the people. The greater part of
yesterdays meeting was occupied by
Sargent in delivering an address, and
late at night L. G. Phelps was nomin-
ated for Governor. and a platform of
resolutions adopted.

SUMMARY OF THIS MORNINGS
DISPATCHES.

The last shipment of the Ccnsoli-
dated Virginia mine amounts to $780,
500, making total of 81 ,438, 800 since
last dividend, which barely covers cur
rent expenses and dividend for the
month.
The Pope, in reply to an address pre-
scented to him from students of colleges
in America, thanking him for the ele-
walton of Archbishop McClosky, refers
to the excellent reception given to the
appointment, aud adds that the harvest
is ready, and laborers only are wanted.
A somewhat sensational paper in
Brooklyn says it is understood that
new and important evidence in the
Beecher case has been unearthed.
A Especial to the Chicago Times (not
the best authority says the prospect of
annexing the rich mining provinces of
Northern Mexico was not killed by the
failure of the Senatorial excursion, and
adds that the balance of the respective
American and Mexican claims will be
the fund for purchasing the rich min
ing country.
At New York, in the United States
Circuit Court, yesterday, the Grand
Jury found indictments against II. B.
Claflin, of the dry goods house of Claf-
lin & Co., and William I'll. Talcott, silk
buyer of the firm, for being engaged in
silk smuggling frauds.
Beach resumed his argument yester-
day, and was received with storms of
applause.

Railroad, indicates that the company

formed by persons well acquainted with
the President of the company, that
from letters received from him, they
feel satisfied that the work of grading
the road will begin in Oregon this
summer. The surveyors have deter
mined the feasibility of the route by
way Of Goose Lake, and find no
mountain ranges at all difficult to over
come on the line from the Cascade
Range, southeast to Winnemucca.

THE Eureka Sentenel says the papers
in the case of Elko vs.. Eureka were
duly served on the Board of County
Commissioners last Monday. The
suit is brought in the District Court of
Humboldt county; but, as the case will
be appealed to the Supreme Court. no
matter how it is decided in the lower
Court, the Sentinel suggests that it be
taken at once to the Court of last re-
sort to save costs.

He smiled blandly as he halted for a
moment in front of the City Hall. He
looked like a man who could palm off
almost anything on the public at 100
per cent. profit, and yet leave each
customer in a grateful mood. He had
tin trunk in his hand, and as he
sailed down Lafayette avenue the boys
wondered whether the trunk contained
tax receipts or horse liniment. The
stranger halted in front of residence,
his smile deepened. and he mounted
the steps and pulled the bell.
Is the lady at homer. he inquired
of the girl who answered the bell.
The girl thought he was the census
taker. and she seated him in the parlor
and called the lady of the house.
When the lady entered the stranger
rose, bowed and said:
