TAs GamIn's Spelling Match.

#
The spelling school fever affected
some of the gamins yesterday. They
talked it up around the Postoffice and
a dozen or more adjourned to an alley
and stood in row, while one Of their
number propounjed words tout of his
head" "Dog," "cat," boot" ''lem-
on" and some other words had been
got along with, when the word "mo-
rocco came into the teachers mind.
The first spelled it .mOre-rock-0' and
all the rest followed, and when the
teacher filed his demurrer they ran
him over a pile of barrels and hit him
with frozen potatoes, thus interrupt
ing the harmony and breaking up the
school. One of the boys was after
ward overheard saying, What's
spellin' good for, anyhow, unless a
feller wants to write pOetry~-De-

Horrible.

JACKSONVILLE, Ogn., April 20.--A
horrible affray occurred some five
miles east of Jacksonville, near the
old stage road, Sunday afternoon.
Two families named Doty and john
son lived near each other and have
been quarreIing for some time. Sun
day morning Mrs. johnson, who is a
widow with large family, passed
through Doty's field on her way to a
neighbours. On her return Doty at
tackled her, beating her senseless with
club. Thomas and. Brooks, sons of
Mrs. Johnson, learning of their moth
er's situation, went to her assistance.
The men were met by Doty, and a
fight ensued with guns aud revolvers,
ending in mortally wounding both the
boys. Thomas is a man grown, while
Brooks Is only boy about fourteen.
Mrs. Johnson will probably recover,
but both the boys are beyond hope.
Doty is in Jail awaiting an examina-
ton. There is great excitement over
the affair.

Practice and Philosophy.

Montague in letter to q duchess,
giving her his opinion of the best
method to be adopted for the educa-
tion of her son, observed that philos-
ophy should be opened to the boys
mind at a very early period. Montai-
que was right. Children are born
philosophers. Their strongest desire
is to know. II their mental powers
could be "materalized" by some clev-
er "medium" the combined faculties
would assume the shape of huge in
terrogation point. Then when their
speculation and curiosity are at fever
heat, why not lead them through the
fruitful groves of philosophy? While
the questiOn-asking impulse is the
strongest why not indulge it, thus
feeding the intellect while its hunger
is keen:

Window Gardening.

There are few places in the world
where flowers flourish, rs they do in
Southern California, the year round.
Every house in the country and city
can be surrounded with ever-blooming
flower beds with the least imaginable
trouble; and as it is universally
acknowledged to be the very best evil
dence of refinement and taste, it is a
cause of astonishment to all strangers
who visit Los Angeles to see so many
cottages and homes with surroundings
as barren and destitute as if they were
standing i'm the desert of Sahara.
Only few of our citizens deserve to
be complimented for the good taste
displayed in making their homes beau
tiful. The cost is but trifiing, and the
labor required is really pleasure.
Every man, woman and child can
grow a rose-bush, and few can realize
how much pleasure attends its culture
until they raise one from the cutting
to the perfection of the flower. There
is no occupation on earth so refining
to human nature as the cultivation of
a flower garden. Every cutting you
plant and every flower you raise seems
to become endeared to you, and before
you know it each one appears to be-
come a special pet, and when you
walk among them you feel as If they
greet you with joy. and every flower
and shrub seems to vie with each other
in looking the mpst cheerful in your
presence. And then there is that
sweet, silent language of flowers,
which no ear can hear nor tongue
utter, yet it reaches the heart with its
heavenly sensations and softens your
nature and makes you smile upon the
world. There is some excuse for those
who live i'm hired houses in the crowd
ed part of the city, If they have no
flower garden. But they can have n
window garden. Why should We not
have gardens in our windows? What
sets room off better than fresh grow.

the family of geraniums, felices, ol
ferns, and trailing mosses or grasses
in the hanging baskets. But the grea
variety of flowers in this country af
fords every one an opportunity to dis

Singular Deed.

A novel legal paper, in the form of q
deed, was filed in the Recorders office
ON the 14th instant, which is, in sub

Philip Dingler and his wife Rebecca.
"Whereas, the undersigned, Cosmus

good care taken of her in sickness and
health, and supplied with proper food

and for further consideration of $3.50

H00dIums.

We have the deepest sympathy for
what are called bad boys. Everybody
hates them and they are forever in
trouble. Nobody wants them around,
and they never hear word of encour-
agement from any quarter. They are
whipped at school, kicked and scolded
at home, scowled at in the street and
abused wherever they go. No wonder
they are mean; it would sour saint
to be treated as they are. They are
made bad; it is not their fault that
they are so. There may be such u
thing as natural bad boy, but we
doubt it. There are few deformed
children born, but it is unnatural.
The same may be the case in regard to
few bad boys, but they are very few.
About one-half the boys of this city
are called bad, but there was time
when they were just as good as the
best boys in the city, and the cause OF
their badness must be sought for out
side of themselves. In nine cases out
of ten, parents are to blame; perhaps
in one case in twenty accident or bad
association may have turned q good
boys head in the wrong direction. If
q committee were appointed to inves-
tigate the causes that make bad boys,
they would return a report about as
follows: "Home was never made
pleasant to the child; the father was
unbending; never spoke to him ex-
cept to command him; never was
known to converse with the boy in a
confidential manner; often whipped
him for disobedience and threat
ened him on all occasions. The
mother is fussy and scolding,
often boxed his ears. No efforts upon
the part Of the parents to make home
attractive for children-such as fur
nishing toys and games and music to
delight the childish heart; when the
boy found any pleasure such as makes
the youthful heart happy, he was
compelled to go from home to find it,
and very often on his return home he
was chastised for being out; he first
learned to tell falsehOods in order to
avoid these floggings. Thus the boys
heart has been driven from home, his
nature soured and his feet forced into
forbidden paths by the cruel treat
ment of his parents" If parents want
good children and easily controlled,
they must make them, love their
homes. This can only be done by
making home the happiest place in
the world for the child, and this is no
great trouble. The first thing to do is
to convince the child that you love it;
first, by talking tenderly and kindly
with it; don't sit back on your dig
nifty, as an old autocrat, but laugh
and play with your children. Then
bring around them such little parlOl
games and music as will delight
them; never deceive them, never
threaten them, never correct one
when you are angry. o, it is miser-
able life that some boys live, with
crusty, stiff, z-eold hearted parents.
Fathers and mothers, blame your
selves if you have bad children; you
ran them from home with your crusty
old dignity or your downright mean
ness, and now they make your heart
ache. No pity for you.

One of the finest improvements in

Lafayette Hotel. The whole of the
back of the house is already being
torn down, and the front will shortly
be built up. The stores will be just
half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others. such as cottons, table
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-

get again, and in order to prevent
great rush, we advise all to call early
and take advantage of the building OF

A Plea for Women.

LUDUs comes atus in yesterdays is
sue with "plea for women" There
are severa! reasons why we are not in
clined to enter into controversy on
this subject. Our principle reason is,
desire to obey the injunction of the
Bible which reads. "As muchsas lieth
in you, live peaceable with all men,"
The Apostle did not include women,
but we conclude it was an oversight.
He was an old bachelor, and having
no one at home to tickle his ears oc-
casionally, he often neglected to men,
tion them, when he could and would
have done SO, and very gracefully too,
if he had had Hannah or Rebecka at
home mending clothes. He not only
neglected to say many things that he
might have said, but we. are satisfied
that he said a great many things that
he would not have said if he had mar
ried when young. For instance he
says "wives obey your husbands"
at is a shame for women to teach in
public" "Let their adorning be
meek and modest spirit" and many
other similar remarks which none but
an old bachelor ever would have dared
to say, and if he were living in this
generation an old bachelor as he was,
he would have all the GRACE GREEN
WOODS and GAIL HAMILToNs in
America in his hair. No sir-ee-We
want to live in peace, you can't draw
us into any such trap. But it is our
private opinion, which we hope no
body will mention publically, that all
the power which women possess over
men, consists in their re-
tireing modesty. When they
intelligently occupy this po-
sition they are fortified as by Inn
pregnable walls of granite, and it
places them in supreme command Of
all the surroundings. Their will is
law, their slightest wish implicitly
obeyed, and all the lords of creation
bow i'm meek submission to them.
But when, from any cause, they are
induced to abandon their position,
they lose their power and influence.
AS we do not wish to get into any fuss
about it, we will say, in a low tone Of
voice, that the meekest and most re-
firing housewife in all the Gland can
WELD more potent influence in the
affairs of the nation than can GAIL
HAMILTON, Lucy STONE or any other
so-called strong minded woman. We
would not have anything we have
said to be construed as placing us in
opposition to the best and highest in
terest of the women. We are rejoiced
to see them occupying any and every
position suitable to their sex, but it is
source of the deepest regret to us to
see them placed in any position calcu-
lated to unsex them. Our opposition
to woman suffrage is based alone upon
this ground. AS to the effect it would
have on the Government, the men
have made a miserable botch of It.
and the women could not have done
worse; but 1t il for the sake of
WOMAN, her own dear self, that we
oppose 1t.

A Hindoo and u New Zealander met
upon the deck of a Missionary ship.
They had been converted from heath
enism, but they could not speak to
each other. They pointed to their
Bibles, shook hands, and looked smil-
ingly into each others faces. AT last,
with sudden joy, the Hindoo exclaim-
ed "Halleluia." The New Zealander
in delight exclaimed "Amen." These
two words, not found in their own
