Earnestness and Success.

The success of any individual in any voca-
ton OF life is largely dependent on two cir
cumstances. natural ability and eaucation'
or tnat particular training which fits him for
bis chosen work. While it is true in GER
tain sense that there is divinity shapes
our ends, rough hew them as we may,'' 1t is
equally true that every man is the architect
of his own fortune.' While 1t is impossible
to enumeTate all the elements of success. yet
there are certain general principles which
must ever be kept before the mind of him
who would be successful. And not the least
important of these is earnestness. Earnest
ness and success walk together hand In
hand. Whatever injury tia former receives
is also felt by the latSer. Whole-souled
earnestness in the prosecution OF work is
necessary to long continued, close applica-
tlon. The only way in which student can
maintain a living, healthy interest in any
study is by advancing understandin9ly step
by sep, firmly welding together each and
every link Of the chain until at last he
acquires clear and accurate comprehension
OF ne whole. Now if from any cause, he
fails to obtain perfect understanding of a
single part, If be looses bat one link in the
chain. he no longer has perfect understand
ing of the subject; he looses interest. and
his usual stimulus being removed, he heg-
lects his lessons and acquires only super
fclal knowledge of the subject. That cir
cumstances do occur in which the student
is compelled to leave certain study before
he has mastered Ii, is a well known fact. But
no one, however brilliant he may be, can dc
so without impaIring his earnestness and
lessening his prospects of success.
And what is true IN the case of the student
is true, of every calling and vocation
OF life. He who would succeed must be IL
earnest. His mind must sparkle, and seethe
and glow with the intensity of the feel
ing which arouses it. There is no way O
escaping this fixed law. No golden crowns
await these who are not in earnest.

OUR WORK.

Greas and noble is the work of the
true teacher. Yet there are many en-
ga ged iD his occupation, who have
greatly mistaken their calling. Now, as
we are commencing our summer schools.
1t is very essential that we weigh we'll
the meaning OF the words, Teachers
work. IF we could but feel the full
meaning of the word "teacher," as 1t is
isped by the dear, innocent little chill
dren whom we have in charge, how it
would arouse our ambition and our en-
ergies 10 greater and better work.
Many of US are asleep to the fact, that
there is much depending upon US besides
going through with daily Rotations.
Few of US are sufficiently atten tive to
the manner in which children spend
their Moons and recesses. This is a
matter which we think indispensable to
a teachers success. Children are apt to
make use of vulgar expressions, slang
phrases ETC., on the play ground and
even in the school-room, if not carefully
watched by the teacher. Nothing of
this character should be overlooked, as
it has its influence which is altogether
bad. Teachers as a general thing do
not converse enough with their pupils.
They hold themselves aloof from them,
during recess for fear they may become
too familiar, and consequently take
advantage in school hours. There. can
be no greater mistake. Teachers should
be ever ready to converse and become
acquainted with their pupils. There is
no work that requires so mucn of kind
ness. am cure there is no child who
will refuse teacher who says ''please. "
I am sure there is no child who does not
feel the full meaning of the words "thank
you" Teachers should encourage such
little acts of respect, By setting worthy
example. "As is the teacher, SO is the
school," has been truly stated. How
important is it then that we watch our
selves carefully.

Death from Excessive Heat.

Major w. H. Forbes, agent OF the
A. and N. M. express line at Indian
Wells, dropped dead Sunday while go
ing from dinner TO his Office. He was
found lying on his face In the sand by
parties passing, and when taken up
life was quite extinct. None OF the
circumstances attending the sudden
death are known, but 1t Is safe to say
that the cause is directly attributable
to the uncomfortable hot weather which
prevails in that locality.
This is the second death from exces.
sive heat which has been reported
from the end of the track within .
week. We learn that all of the track
layers and railroad iaborers have been
compelled to stop work, even the In.
dians succumbing to the torrid rays OF
the sun. During the day the ther-
mometer frequently reaches l28 de-
grees In the shade, and at midnight
ranges above so. The body of deceased
was brought to the city and his rela-
tives telegraphed for instructions con-
cerning the burial. Major Forbes was
about fifty years of age, and leaves
wife and one son, who has reached
manhood. The sudden fatal news
will fall heavily upon them.

San Diego News.
From the.Union Of thell7.l

Our irrepressible friend Balcom,
within twenty minutes after the re-
ception of the news from Cincinnati,
had procured the painting of fine
banner, with the names of Hayes and
Wheeler inscribed thereon, which he
has flung to the breeze, where all may
salute 1t. Viva
Hon. John Wasson, of Arizona, edi-
tor of the Tucson Citizen, arrived here
last evening from his recent trip East
ward, and leaves for Tucson this morn
ing. We were glad to greet him, If
but for few moments.
The Republicans, and the Demo-
Gratis, too, Of San Diego awaited the
news from Cincinnati yesterday with
considerable impatience; and many
were the speculatioDs upon the result
INDUCED in by the waiting people. To
most the nomination of Hayes was q
surprise, for Blaine's chances were
looked upon as almost certain. But
tie announcement was greeted with
strong expressions of satisfaction on
all hands. In few minutes after the
issuance of the Union's extra, there
could be seen gathering here and
there of the live Republicans Of the
city, and there was stirring maui.
festation of enthusiasm. Soon the
booming of one hundred guns gave
loud-voiced expression to the general
feeling, San Diego was probably the
first town In California to salute the
nomination of Hayes and Wheeler.
Our cannonade began at $3.50 p. NJ,
and was nearly six hours ahead of San
Francisco.

THE BLACK FOx,s RUN.

Hank Small, the man who brought the
Oakland Point, with his engine No. l49I
known on the line as 1.-THE Black Fox" in "a
hours, tainted as soon as the train halted.
Just as the sun had begun to shine
On the high Serras' snowy crest,
Hank Small's black engine took the line
To traverse the backbone OF the West"
All that day in maddening haste,
AS swift as the treless swallows fly,
1t sped o'er the barren sagebrush waste
And level deserts OF alkali.
Darkness enveleped the flying train;
Onward 1t swept with Its precious load,
Till just at midnight it. left the plain
And into the mountain fastness rode.
Above, the giant pine trees swayed,
Below, yawned chasm and black abyss:
The quick succession of light and shade,
OF dizzy trestle and precipice.
Slanting downward from pine-cIad hight
The glow of the moon was softly shed,
And next the glare of the great headlight
Glove its way through the gloom ahead.
And as the eye of the engineer
Glanced along the inclines and curves,
Did ever the qualm of a craven fear
steal like tremor along his nerves?
Thongh he knew that his flying steed must
Where bravest and stoutest hearts mig ht
fail.
With hand on the throttle and look ahead,
Heurged the "Black Fox" DER the quiver-
ing rail.
As he swept along on his laundering ride,
Scoring each minute aI.other mile,
He knew the Death Angel rode close beside,
His wing overshadowing all the while.
But with sin ews that never tire,
The gallant engine held the rail,
While a pillar of smoke and a stream Of nre
Hung behind like comets trail.
When the gimmer of morning shone at last
Over the rocks and the chapparral,
Brave Hank Small was still holding fast
To the faithful engine he steered SO well.
For day and night he had held the rein,
Mid anxious Watching and nervous shock,
And never WINGED till the flying train
Rested painting on Gakland's dock.
And whizz of the piston stroke
Was stopped hy the staunch old engineer,
From the swaying crowd around him broke
The stunning echo o welcome cheer;
Then the old man with the heart uf oak
Fell fainiing powerless upon the pier
