It is the common opinion among Off

the various navy-yards on the Atlantic
coast is merely precautionary measure

since the Virginius complications the
large number Of vessels then prepared

allowed to fall into disuse Or neglect, and
that a very small amount of work is all
that would be required.

The Presidential succession.

The death of Vice President Henry
Wilson, who would have succeeded
President Grant If he had been called
upon by the Relentless Archer, will give
rise to the question of how, in such
cases, the Presidential Office is filed.
The Constitution of the United States
only provides for the Vice-Presidential
succession. The rest is to be provided
by law. This law was passed by the first
Congress which assembled at the seat OF
Government In Philadelphia. The Sen
ate elects presiding officer to take the
position of Vice-President when he is
absent. By law of Congress he is to
be President, if both the President and
Vice President should die or become in
capable. After him there is the Speaker
of the House of Representatives.. Then
the Chief-Justice of the Supreme Court.
After him all the Associate Justices in
the order in which they were appointed
by the seniority of their commissions.

"Dip deep thy pen into my heart.
O angel scribe, and write, that
May know myself; will not cry
Nor weep-dip deep; will not start"
The angel dipped deep in her heart,
And drew his dripping pen and wrote
And, though her knees together smote,
She did not cry, nor weep, nor start.
He wrote one word in many ways,
All quaint. but beautiful, until
His fair white roll was full, and still
Her modest eyes she did not raise.
els it all written?r "Even so,
Behold" She saw not, for her sight
Was dim with pain; and in despite
Her woman's tears began to flow.
Then through her tears she looked again,
And saw the word all written fair:
And smiled and sighed, and with her hair
Toyed, crying: 90 Love p but love is pain;
Yet Thou, dear Christ, hast shown me how
To die for love; let others wear
Life's roses in their waving hair,
Irvine Thy thorns about my brow
The angel bent his stately head,
And babe her bless him as he bowed;
IS For though my name and state be proud
am no peer to thee" he said.

reted Monitor pattern, several of them
being, in addition, armed with ram

THERE is good reason to believe that
contagious diseases are often communi-
Gated by dogs, cats, and other household
pets. A case of scarlet fever recently
occurred in England in which dog con-
veyed the disease. He had been the
constant companion of fever patient,
and his hair doubtless became impreg-
mated with the malaria.

CoNsTRAINT.

Down through the orchard wandered we,
Where, bending low, each burdened tree
Hung full of fruitage yellow.
Twas morning, and the autumn sun
Shone on the leaves of gold and dun
With radiance soft and mellow.
There came blush upon her cheek,
/ thought my time had come to speak,
She seemed so sad and tender:
touched her snowy dimpled hand,
But found no words at my command.
Ny burning love to render.
At last we paused beneath tree,
The branch that sheltered her and me
Reached low its luscious fruit.
/" Be seated, pray gently plead;
'I cannos--cannot,' soft she said,
" I'm in my walking suit"

have been let for the erection Of four
new school houses, one in East Los
Angeles, one on Pearl street, near the
Woolen Mills, and one near the cross
ing of Washington and Figueroa

completed before the rst of August.
The houses will be frame buildings,
36ft, by 2Sft, and l4ft high. There

cloaks, and room for the library and
teachers wardrobe. The schoolroom
will be soft by 2Sft. 1t will be lighted

The houses are all so situated as to
have ample grounds for recreation.
These grounds can be easily improved
and made very attractive.
The High School building will be
re-painted in way to make it a thing
of beauty. When all the improve
ments projected by the Board of Edu-
cation are finished the citizens will
realize that their money, so freely Civ
en-, has been well expended.

A Card.

AS I will shortly remove from the
well known Cigar Store, next to Wells,
Fargo & Co.'s Express, take this op-
portunity to offer my entire stock of
cigars, tobacco, pipes and smokers
articles, contained at the stand, at cost
price. Any one buying box Of cigars
will get them at manufacturers price,
as the stock must be closed out in a
very short time. lido not wish to re-
move any of 1t to the store, Identical,
at 3S, Main street, as the stock of
cigars, tobacco, gents furnishing
goods is already large enough to sup
ply all the wants of the public. The
business, after the removal, will be
carried on at 3S, Main street, under
the Backman House, where l hope
that all those who have so far favored
me with their custom, and put up with
the inconvenience of walking block
further, as the quality of the goods
will amply reward them for the
trouble.

the most astonishing manner and the

To say that all were delighted would
be tame commendation; to say that
their equals as performers in this line

would be nearer the truth. With the
