Vice-President Wilson ut the Grand Central Ho-

tho course of which Mr.. Wilson said that he had
never made and was not now making any efforts
to secure a nomination for the next Presidency,
Notwithstanding the rumor to that effect which
has been prevalent for some time past. Since

ever ready to misconstrue the object OF his vls-

You knew at once by her general appearance,
says writer in the Rochester Chronicle, and tho
manner in which she smiled and the giggles
which she giggled, and the way that she talked,
that this was tho first time that she had ever had
a beau. She WAS, in fact, very much excited,
and like person stricken with tho first shock
of numb palsy, didn't know exactly how to use
ber tongue The blood rushed to her head un-
til there was tremendous buzzing in her ears,
and she recognized all her acQuantances. old
and young, and called them by name in loud
tone of voice, and wore at tho Same time very
triumphant expression Of countenance. 1t was
moment of intense ecstasy (to her)-a moment
looked and longed for ever since she got in her
teens and all the heroes and heroines of all tho
dime novels she had ever read went trooping
across her vision like row of bees in swarining
time. Apples and peaches and hollyhocks and
mushrooms and pumpkins and hedge fences, at
they hung on trees or blossomed on stalks,
or grew in the grass, or tore her new dress as
| she swept by them, borne almost from her feet
| by all electric force-all passed as an accessory
panorama Of bliss on her way to the circus, that
glorious, grand, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS MONDAY
Of her new experience. Did she enjoy the show
| Did she remember how the elephant stood OIL
| his hind feet Did she follow the flight Of the
unsurpassed, unrivaled, wonderful, astonishing
most daring horseback rider in the world, as h'
dived in doubled up way through two hoop
and alighted on the horse again right side up
Was the music the most delightful she had eve
heard2 or course ! But somehow these thing
got all mixed up in one glorious whirl of delight
in one glorious fact that she had q beau-a mic
beau in black cloth and a red necktie and
stovepipe hat, and WHO smoked cigar an
bought peanuts and candy and lemonade ever
time the man who sold it came around and whis
psred his goods 80 softly that the noise of tn
band and the best ten-year-old joke OF til
clown was drowned out of hearing entirely. OF
how her little heart went pit.apat and throbby
ty-throb and bobbyty-bob on her way home tha
glorious afternoon?

News comes from Washington that only $685.
0OO, 900 of the new 5 per cent bonds remain in
the Treasury All the rest of tho $500, ,0O0,0 900
issue has been subscribed for and sold. Ere
long, the Insignificant remnant remaining Will
be taken. The placing of these bonds will then
have enabled the Secretary OF the Treasury to
redeem an equal amount OF the per cents The
saving in annual interest will amount to per
cent on $500, 900, 0O0 Or 55,O0O,0OO. The people
are freed from yearly tax of this amount This
il notable illustration of the fact that honesty
is the best policy. The law which enabled the
Secretary Of the Treasury to practically fund the
8 per cents in 5s by selling the latter and using
the gold thus got to redeem the former was Wig
orously opposed by many Democratic Congress-
men. They argued that the country ought
to cheat its creditors by redeeming the 6
per cents in greenbacks, then worth any
where from 81 to IS cents on the dollar. But
this Republican measure has enabled us to keep
perfect faith with our creditors, and yet save
moro money than we would have done by paying
the bonds in legal-tenders. For the average
time the new 5 per cents will run before pay
ment will be at least twenty years, and the saw
ing in interest each year, ID per cent. on the
whole amount. The total saving, therefore, will
be 90 per cont, so that we will practically re-
deem tho old 500 bonds at a cost of 50 per cent
! II he had taken Democratic advice, and paid ou
greenbacks instead of gold in exchange for the
| bonds, the cost would have BEEN from 81 to Ss
solemn pledge and our credit would have
sunk 80 low thai in all probability we should moi
have been able to negotiate . single bond il
Europe for years to come. Honesty has beeI
| the best policy.
We have established the fact that our Govern
ment can borrow millions Of money at five pc
cent interest, and this foreshadows our borrow
ing at ~ and eventually at per cont. Onl.
one thing can prevent this. European capital
lists are waiting for the popular voice to declare
itself on the currency question. II Ohio is car
red by the rag money men. and il Pennsylvan
votes in the same way, it will not be easy for u
| to negotiate another 8, or even new per cen
abroad. But if the votes OF those States ar
trumpet tongued for honest money, and if the
find an echo throughout the country, we cal
confidently issue ~, if not 4, per cent. bond
and place them on the market at par. Whe
we sell the 4 per cents at par, our credit will b
very nearly as good as that of England. Her
per cents are quoted at 50 and 93. II A pc
cents are sold at 100, we shall borrow money d
most as chesply as it is borrowed across the Al
lantic. Funding the old 6s in the new 5s is
great step towards this end. 1t is one OF til
! most striking successes of Republican rule.-

BUSY SATURDAY..


What busy day for little May
Bvery Saturday lsl
There's 80 much TO do. enough for twa,
And how she ever can get through
Ia one of the mysteries.
You'd think she'd desire some help to hiie,
Bat times ave hard, you know,
And she hardly knows now to get the clothes
For her two dolles, Lou and Rose
Iler bank funds are so low.
Tie washicg comes first, md that's the worst
The clothes for Rose and Lou;
She puts them In tubs, and hard she rubs,
And with her little fist She scrubs
TIL she thinks that they will 10.
Then she ties line OF stoutest twine
From the do0r-knob to a chair;
Then quickly wrings the tiny things,
And In a little basket brings,
And hangs them up with care.
Now while they dry, her hands must NY,
And busy her feet must be-;
Firs! she must mako some rolls and cake,
And put them iu her stove to bake,
For company's coming to tea.
And then in haste, no time to waste,
Her chldren's beds she makes;
Then she must see that the dishes for tea
Are washed as clean as they can he,
And with these great pains she takes.
Now her clothes are dry, and she must Try
To iron them very soon;
For there's sweeping to do. and mending tco,
And then her children, Rose and Lou,
She must dress for afternoon.
Should you not think that she would sink
With 80 much work to do2
But, s,rang to say, throughout the day,
Many an hour she'll ind to play,
And help her mamma too.

Carruth, the wounded editor, is said to be
failing in health and gradually growing weaker.
He suffers constantly from severe pain in the
head and cannot rest at night. The wound has
not yet healed and from 1t there is a continual
discharge. Grave doubts are entertained about
his recovery and the belief seems to be pretty
general amongst those who have watched him
since ho was stricken down that he cannot long
survive the shot. We greatly fear that his death
will ensue before the winter has passed and had
it not been for an iron constitution, he could moi
survived 80 long. The report that settlement
had been made between Mr.. Carruth and Mr.
Landis is without foundation, and should Car
ruth die, the latter would probably have to un
dergo trial for his murder.

only seyen or eight persons being present.
There was no organization. Mr.. Townsend was

hundreds who never sec the attractive bills

such advertisements carefully. He kpows
who is selling out and exactly what IS offered
for sale. The Advertisements arc a topic of
conversation when friends meet, and arrange

of ten, twenty or fifty times what it cost to ad-

not be counted dear when its produc-

Downey City, the principal town of
the Los Nietos section, has been for
some time the southern terminus of
the Anaheim branch of the Southern
Pacific Railroad. The place has a
popul alton of perhaps two hundred
and fifty; it is enterprising and
thrifty, as most of the places of its
kind, which grow up from a necessity
OF commerce. 1t is supported by the
rich agricultural country which sur
rounds it and has the best of fourda-
tions for continued prosperity. Some
additional Importance may have been
added to Downey City from the fact
of its being heretofore at the end of
the railroad. This prestige, whatever
it may have been, will now be lost, as
the road at present writing has been
extended as far as Anaheim-eighteen
miles further south. The town, how
ever, can never be of less Importance
than it is now, and it will increase as
the country around it becomes better
developed.
All coming to Los Angeles county
in search of homes will find it to their
advantage to visit Los Nietos settle
ment and see and examine for them
selves. But there are other equally
rich localities in Los Angeles valley
offering like advantages to the farmer,
to each of which it is our purpose to
direct attention.
