Chronicle and Chronicler

The California legislative assem-
bly, manages to vary the dreary
monotony of lawmaking delight
fully for the seDsationalists of the
press. The other day P. w. Viii.
cox, the "Mariposa blacksmith"
introduced some new business, no
matter what, and the correspondent
of the San Francisco Chronicle re-
ported and commented upon it in
his own way. Next day after Will
cox, with the paper in his hand,
rose to a question of privilege,
and characterized the writer of the
notice of him as Glow, dirty
backyard, and an Infamous, SLAM
derous liar" Wilcox did not ap-
peal TO the House for redress, but
announced that he had appointed
himself a committee of one 10 take
the said Glow, dirty blackguard,"
SC, shy the seat of the breeches and
throw him out of one of these win
dows."
Then the House proceeded with
its regular business. The Chroni-
Gle promptly assumed the respon-
sibility of the Objectionable matter
ys
The paper characterized Wilcox as
having committed q cowardly as
sault upon its correspondent called
him the "Mariposa bellows" and
had not heard of anybody being
chucked out of the window. The
threats of Wilcox towards its cor
respondent did not alarm the
Chronicle in the least, but its dis
tant heroism was crowding its cor
respondent, T. w. Somers, into q
very tight place. Wilcox came at
him with heavy Mexican mahog-
ony cane in his hand, and a pistol
in his breaet pocket. Two blows
on Somers' bare head in the Senate
chamber, during q session, broke
the club short off in two places and
suddenly adjourned the Senate.
WilcoX's arm was caught by Sen.
ator before he conld administer 9
third blow with the remaining
stump of the cane. Somers pour.
ing blood all over from the opened
fountains in his head, crawled out
from his chair and drew his pistol
Wilcox leYelled his navy revolver
but firing on either side was pre-
vented. The doctors are putting 1
new roof on Somers, and Wilcox il
under $4,000 bail to appear ani
answer TO a'charge of s'assault will
intent to MURDER" seon as Somer
is fit TO go out in the rain again
In the meantime the California leg
islative proceedings proceed, and i
is evident that the threats of tn
Mariposa blacksmith towards tn
Chronicle correspondent have n,
terrors for the editor of the Chron
) icle. The blacksmith has no
chucked anybody out of the capita
} windows yet, but he has practicall
demonstrated that Mexican mahog
any is not exactly the stuff for q re
liable cane. There is likely to b
t another bloody chapter of thes
t proceedings, for Wilcox has said b
will throw the Chronicle man on
of the window, and he means to d
, it if it takes him all the rest of th
winter-provided Somers bring
the seat of his breaches within reac
e of the bIacksmith's sinewy hand
!, But the Chronicle is safe, whateye
f becomes of the chronicler.-S

For Glae New Year.

One of the most successful bust.
ness men calls the following HE
'rules of order" Some of them we
have seen before, but most of them
are entirely new. We advise our
readers to post them up, and famil-
iariZe tho lessons taught, for they
are for the most part wholesome
and sensible:
Be true to your friends.
Do not speak evil of any one.
Nothing is profitable that is dis
honest.
People should do right from a
sense of duty.
The wise man bushes at his faults,
but is not ashamed to mend them.
The man who is angry is no lon
ger himself.
Pay due respect and reverence to
old age.
Never associate with a scandal
monger.
If a man cheats you once, blame
him if a second time. blame your
self.
Do nst run to the doctor for ev.
erv little pain, nor to the lawyer for
hui W Gl1O oL1
shop to quench thirst.
Never tell business or profession
al secrets to any one.
Merchants should take as much
pains in waiting on a customer who
only has five cents to spend, as the
man who buys 500 worth of goods.
Avoid discussion of religion and
politics.
II is better to be chosen as an
umpire by an enemy than a friend.
In the first case you make a friend
in the second, an enemy.
Try to make people temperate in
the use of stimulants and narcotics
by example and moral suasion.
Never use vulgar or profane Ian.
gusge of any kind.
Take your county paper, and as
many other good papers as you car
afford.
Never employ a professional mar
because you can get his services
cheap. Employ the best, and bC
willing to pay them liberal fee.
If you are a iurymsn, do not al
low public opinion to influence OIL
affect your verdict.
If you have anything to sell, ad
vertise It thoroughly, remembering
that he who makes the most money
does the most advertising.
Fine and exalted sense are not
half as useful as common sense.
Men can be persuaded by kline
words one hundred times, where
they can be driven once.
Newspapers are the companion
of our solitary hours. They ANUS
and in our sOrrows they comfort as
We should endeavor to educat
the whole man, head, heart ant
body the head to think, the hear
to feel, and the body to act.
Contract friendships with person
whose hearts are upright and Sin
cere.
Never talk of your designs unit
they have been accomplished, ant
even then the least you say the bet
ter.
Self help alone makes q man sac
coed. If he has confidence in him
self, let the world treat him ae /
may, he is sure of success through
his own persistent determination.
i Your friend is he who sympa
thizes with you in trouble, and doe
all he can to help you cut.
No one but q fool will use techni
cal language in his intercourse wit
the common people.
II thrown into the company c
{ women, let their character be as
may, treat them as you would tn
most refined and cultivated of thei
sex.
Incorporate habits, or more prov
erly called, the disease of intempeI
/ ance, is contracted in infancy, an
, seldom or never in mature years.
t Soothing syrups, teething syrup
t coffee and tea, administered to chi
3 dren in the nursery, lay the foundi
ton of intemperance.

One of the worst phases Of the
Winslow chapter at Boston is the
fact that various business men de-
tected the sanctimonious scamp
IN his rascalities at different times,
and allowed him to escape upon
condition that he would make
them good. This was a double
wrong; it was practically com
pounding felony, and it was let
ting the reverned forger go to
prey upon others. Is the moral
difference between his transaction
and theirs so very wide?

The great secret of success in bring
ing up children is to establish and pre-
serve perfect confidence between parents
and children. If the father is the boys
best friend, as all wise mothers are the
girls, there is no trouble about keeping
them from bad associates, whose vicious
examples and silly bravado have last
ing effect upon their characters. Faith
ers, in your efforts to secure fortunes
for your families, remember that money
will not save you from many heartache
if yorr boys go wrong, and that their
only safety is in being kept close at your
side, helping you in your business, and
you in turn sharing their fun and play.
Nothing is so tlattering to boys as the
society of their fathers, and nothing
makes a man so popular with them as
his joining in their amusements. Try
to do this, and your sons will try in
turn to understand your cares and trou-
bles. Take as much pains to preserve
them from contamination in the shape
OF immoral companionship as mothers
do their girls, and you will find them
growing up to be modest and virtuous
men, fit companions and husbands for
girls who have been carefully guided
from all knowledge of evil.
Devote your evenings to family
amusements and pleasures. Invite
young people to your house, and pay
them attention, instead Of going off to
bed or shutting yourself in another
room the moment they make their APP
pearance, as if there was and could he
nothing between your manhood and
their youth. So shall you be kept young
in heart, and the inexperience of your
sons will he tempered with something
Of the sobriety of experience.

A Lively Vision Of the Resurrection.

An American traveller thus describes
some strange bas-reliefs in German
church: "As there were carriages ut
the door when l entered, l concluded
there was to be a wedding, and so l
thought would wait and see what a
German wedding was like. The guests
assembled in the choir, while the
strangers looked in from outside the
rail- The altar was uncovered In a
thicket of dollhouse flowers and plants.
After a long pause, some one, the cler-
gvman. l believe. entered with a pan of
rosebuds and scattered them in the path
which the bridal pair were to tread on
their way to the altar. Then another
long pause, which improved by taking
walk around the church to look at the
ornaments. l was highly amused by
an old bas-relief of the resurrection. 1t
depicted lively times on earth, you may
believe. In the centre of the sky, COM
fortably bolstered in mass of puddingy
clouds, looking very much like one
of the enormous German feather beds,
was a representation of the Creator,
looking on with approval. On either
side were giant angels, blowing with all
tiltlT HliSHt, 'ti"t o"pPA.hhS viz
of life ut the rate of millions OF horse
power to newly animated humanity. On
earth, in the centre, was the Savior, SUI
perintending operations. On the left
was dense mass of human skeletons. l
never before could understand how the
miracle of the resurrection was to he
brought about, but now it was made
clear. 1t seemed to be by process of
gradual development. One had devel-
oped stomach, but his arms and skull
were yet devoid of flesh, and with the
others the opposite was the case. One
headless person was calmly seated with
folded arms, awaiting the reception of
his absent member; another was minus
an arm, and another was adjusting n
leg The people on the right were
completely rebuilt, and were evidently
waiting with interest to see what would
turn up next. The ground was covered
with choice assortment OF skulls, ribs,
thigh bones and so forth, showing that
there was plenty OF work to COME"

In .ScriJu.r for December is an inter-
esting paper by Major Powell, descrip-
tive of the Province of Tusayan," in
Arizona. We take from the article the
following account of Indian worship at
daybreak
At the dawn of day the Governor of
the town goes up to the top OF his house
and calls on the people to come forth.
In few moments the upper story OF the
town is covered with men, women and
children. For few minutes he harangues
them on the duties of the day. Then,
as the sun is about to rise, they all sit
down, draw their blankets over their
heads, and peer out through a little
opening and watch for the sun. As the
upper limb appears above the horizon
every person murmurs prayer, and
continues until the whole disk is seen,
when the prayer ends and the people
turn to their various avOcatiOns. The
young men gather in the court about the
deep fountain stripped naked, except
that each one has a belt, to which are at
tached bones, hoofs, horns or metallic
bells, which they have been able to pro-
cure from white men. These they lay
aside for moment, plunge into the
water, step out, tie on their belts, and
dart away on their morning races over
the rocks, running as if for dear life.
Then the old men collect the little boys,
sometimes with little whips, and compel
them to go through the same exercises.
When the athletes return, each family
gathers in the large room for breakfast.
This over, the women ascend to the tops
of their houses to dress, and the men de-
part to the fields or woods, or gather in
the kiva to chat or weave.
