The Debt of Mothers.

Mothers live for their children,
make self-sacrifces for them, and
manifest their tenderness and love so
freely that the name, mother, is the
sweetest in the. human language
And yet sons, youthful and aged,
know but little of the anxiety, the
nights of sleepless and painful solici-
tude which their mothers have spent
over their thoughtlcss waywardncss.
Those loving hearts go down to their
graves with those hours of secret ag-
ony untold. AS the mother watches
by night or prays in the privacy of
her closet, she weighs all the words
she will address to her son in order
to lead him to manhood Of honor
and usefulness. She will not. tell
him all the griefs and deadly fears
which bcset her soul. She warns
hint with, trembling, lest she may
-say4Avornruch,. She tries to charm
him with her chcery love. Yhilelk6&
heart is bleeding. No worthy and
successful man ever yet knew the
breadth and depth of the obligation
that he is under to the mother who
guided his needless steps at the time
when his character for virtue and
purity was so nearly balanced against
a course of vice and ignominy. Let
the dutiful son do his utmost to
smooth his mothers pathway, let
him obey as implicitly as he can
her advice, let him omit nothing
that will contribute to her peace,
rest and happiness, and yet he will
part from her at the tomb with his
debt to her not half discharged.

A Crisis in the Republican
Party.

The New York Tribune believes
that the Republican party has reach
ed crisis that must end in its ruin
unless speedy means are taken to
avert the disaster. 1t says; Grant
ism has come to judgment at last
This infamous abuse of the public
service for personal and partizan
gain has borne its inevitable fruits
The stubborn partisan may excuse
and protest as he will. In every
State there are thousands Of voters
whose minds are made up this day,
beyond possibility of change, to re-
deem the honor Of the American re-
public by such votes hereafter that
neither Grant nor any of his favor
ties, nor any man who has impudent-
ly called our civil service "the best
the world ever saw" nor any dcfen-
der or apologist for this most corrupt
and scandalous administration shall
ever again be able to claim that he
has the American people behind him.
Democracy may be dangerous, true;
but it is not filthy with dangerous
bribes and stcalings. Against dis
loyalty or reputation the people can
protect themselves in many ways;
against dishonor they can protect
themselves only by trampling under
foot every man who has participated
in or excused that infamous system
of public service called Grantism"

those trying times, She is truly a

Bonner Lake.

Donner Lake is located in the cold
est canyons of the Sierra Nevada
High mountains rise on three sides
of thelake, and thecold seems to con-
ccntratepponits surface Every year
heretofore Donner has been covered
with ice five or sixinches thick, long
before January, Skating has been cx-
cellent on the Lake when many Of
the ponds and reservoirs in1the Vi
cinity were partly open. This year
has been one of the coldest on record,
and the ice at Schaffer's and at the
ice pond is tenor eleven inchesthick.
Donner Lake recently wasn not entire
ly frozen over, and the See was suiy
abou. an inch thick in portions
w1t1e itrR6sl liIo1on Many g The
old Settlers have been puazIing their
brains over the enigma, and it is
pretty generally concluded that hot
springs must have burst forth in
some portions Of the lake bed in
such force as to prevent the temper
rature of the water being lowered to
the congealing point. Such springs
are common in Tahoe, but so far as
is known, there have never been any
in Donner.
