A Good Boy.

Our Reverend friend, Mr.. G. w. LIN
TON, is writing series of very racy
letters from this city to the Ackron
Argus, about Southern California and
the Los Angeles Express. According
to LINTON this is the worst country on
the face of the globe. The desert of
Sahara is a blooming Paradise COM
pared with Los Angeles valley and the
Arabian Nights are the embodiment
of truth compared with Senator JONES
Los Angeles paper. G. W.-which
we suppose stands for GEORGE WASH
INGToN though GEORGE WASHING
TON LINTON is very unlike our GEORGE
who couldn't tell lie, or MARK TWAIN
who could but wouldn't for G. w. l..
can and does-proceeds to tell how the
birds eat up the peas and turnips; how
the crows and blackbirds destroy the
corn crop; how the rabbits go for the
potatoes; how the things that fly in
the air go for the figs, peaches and
pears; how irrigation superinduces
rheumatism; how he knows of
number of men whose health has
been destroyed by wadlng in mud and
water waist-deep while irrigating
their worthless acres how it does not
rain here from May to November
how the grass dries up and stock must
live from the product of the farm
how the markets are glutted and moth
ing can be sold how from ten thous-
and acres seeded to barley not BUSH
ell was harvested how society is not
desirable how there is a general dis
position to swindle the stranger how
men are leaving and returning to their
old homes in the East as fast as they
can get away how titles are imper-
feet how the ErpreSs lies and de-
ceives the people and how great
many other things transpire here that
he does not admire. We like GEORGE
WASHINGTON LINTON and the Er-
press likes him and he likes the Er-
press. We cannot however help think
ing G. w. l.. made mistake in select
ing profession. The gospel does not
require his peculiar style of talent. He

tion of the road for years. But, so
reads the Republican indictment of
the Democratic party, the Democrat
ic majority in Congress have stepped
In, saved the people three hundred
and fifty million dollars and thereby
secured the much desired road and
guaranteed its completion at a much
earlier date than we could have hoped
for had the SCOTT bill become law.
These are the facts set forth or i'm
piled in the indictment, and we have
no doubt the Democratic leaders are
perfectly willing to have this part of
their record paraded against them in
the Presidential campaign. Ifitis in
dustriously handled by the Republi-
cans it will increase the Democratic
strength at least one hundred thous-
and votes.

The Responsibility.

If we accept as correct the conclu-
sion of Republican journals on the
Democratic majority in Congress and
through it on the Democratic party,
rests the responsibility of the defeat
of the Texas Pacific Railroad bill, and
we are assured that this responsible
ty will be made to hang about the
party's neck in the approaching Presi-
dential campaign with the weight of
a thousand millstones. AS the party
is already indicted on this grave
charge it will perhaps be as we'll to ex-
anime the Indictment and learn to
what extent it is likely to weigh down
the organization which it seems is
forced to carry it in the race so soon
to come off. We shall assume that
the party pleads guilty to the charge OF
defeating the Tom SCOTT Texas Pa
cific Railroad bill, and having done
this, let us look at the probable conse-
quences likely to follow convic-
tion on the indictment. The peo-
pie of the South and East and
those of Southern California earnestly
demand the construction ofa Southern
overland railroad. The prosperity of
fully one-half the nation will be di-
rectly, and that of the other half indi-
rectly, advanced by the building of
such road and hence the almost uni
versal demand for its construction.
Has the Democratic party defeated
this great wish of the people? If it
has it deserves and will receive the de-
nunciation of the entire common
wealth. But We deny that it has done
so. Further than this we assert and
will prove to the satisfaction of all
fair minded men that in defeating the
Tom SCoTT bill the Democratic party
have not only facilitated the building
of Southern overland road but have
saved the people three hundred and
fifty million dollars. The SCOTT bill
provides that the Government shall
become responsible for the interest on
the bonds of the road and this interest
foots up three hundred and fifty million
dollars. 1t also gives SCOTT and his
associates an exclusive franchise. and
does not demand an early completion
of the road. Under the SCOTT subsidy
bill it would be years before we pos
sess the much coveted road. The
Southern Pacific Railroad Company
have proffered to build this at once,
and ask therefor no other assistance
from the Government than the alter
nate sections of land once granted to
the SCOTT party and by them forfeited
while lobbying for money subsidy
of three hundred and fifty million dol
lars. Even while the Texas Pacific
ring managers are idling away their
time hanging around Congress, the
Southern Pacific company are hard at
work and have already pushed their
road Eastward one hundred and
twenty-five miles from Los Angeles.
If the SCOTT subsidy bill had passed
it would have given the Texas
Pacific company the right to build
the road from side to side of the
continent and thus killed the
work now being pushed energet-
ically forward by the Southern Pacif-
ic, added three hundred and fifty mil
lion dollars to the burden of taxation
already so heavy that it is crushing
the people and delayed the compile

A Prize Fight in Nevada.

VIRGINIA CITY, March 2lst.-The
long talked of prize fight for $500 be-
tween Sullivan, champion of Austria
liza and Trevillian of this place came
off this morning on the Carson river.
A special train lett the depot at s
o'clock with the combatants and
about $50 of the fancy ostensibly for
the Mound House, but on nearing that
station it was discovered that the
Sheriffs of Ormsby, Stoney and Lyons
counties were on hand to prevent the
meeting and the engineer was in
structed to run past, which he did,
leaving the officers standing on the
platform. They stopped few miles
beyond and pitched the ring near the
county line. AT half past IL O'clock
the men entered the ring, both APP
pearently in fine condition. Trevil-
lian was the heaviest by about twenty
pounds, but Sullivan's reputation for
science and staying qualities made
him the favorite. Time being called
be : men stepped to the scratch and
the fight began, both were cautious
and did some good sparrings. Travil-
lian got in light blow on SuIlivan's
nose without drawing blood. Sullivan
then got in one on Trevillian's mouth
and much sparring followed, when
suddenly Trevillian got in tremendu-
Gus blow, knocking Sullivan COM
pletely off his feet, he fell fiat on his
back and when his seconds got to him
he was bleeding profusely from the
mouth and nose. This virtually set
tied the fight, Sullivan staggered to
the centre. On time being called for
the next five rounds only to be knock
ed down without making any resist
ance. On time being called for the
7th round Trevillian came up smiling,
but it was all Sullivan could do to
walk to the scratch, Trevillian struck
Sullivan heavy blow on the cheek
knocking him down and ending the
fight.

THE Power OF lGNoRANCE.-It is a COM
mon sentence that knowledge is power but
who hath duly considered or set forth the
power of ignorance knowledge slowly
builds up what ignorance in an hour pulls
down. knowledge, through patient and
frugal centuries, enlarges discovery and
makes record Of il; Ignorance, wanting its
days dinner lights FIRE with the record
and gives n flavor to its one roast with the
burnt souls of many generations. Knowl-
edge, instructing the sense, refining and null
tiplying needs, transforms itself into skill, aud
makes life various with a new six days
work comes Ignorance drunk on the seventh,
with frkin OF oil and a match and an easy
"lIct there not be"-and the mauy-colored
creation is shrveled up in blackness. or q
truth knowledge is power, but it is power,
refined by scruple, having conscience OF
what must be and what may be
whereas Ignorance is blind giant who, let
him but wax unbound, would make it sport
to seize the pillars that hold up the long.
wrought fabric of human good, aud turn all
the places Of joy dark as buried Babylon.

ticed vision may not see that Ignorance

I Made HIM What He Was.

\ few weeks ago saloon-keeper in Dover,
Delaware, who patronzcd his own bar very
literally, stepped into a back room, where
men were at work about a pump in we'll.
The covering had been removed, aud he ap.
preached to look down, but, being very
drunk, he pitched In head-foremost. He had
become so much of a blOat by the use Of strong
drink that it was impossible to extricate him
in time to save his life.
There was great excitement in the town.
Men and women who had never been inside
of his saloon before we're the first to rush TO
the rescue and to offer sympathy TO the be.
reayed family. AS he was being dragged
from the well and stretched out dead upon
the saloon floor, wholesale liquor-dealer
from Philadelphia stepped in. Alter the FIRST
shock at thus finding one of his good custom
crs dead, he turned to q prominent lady, a
crusader, and said, pointing to the wrecked
victim, 81 made that man what no was. l
lent him his lirst dollar, and set him up With
his FIRST stock of liquors, and he's now worth
$4,000 to $4,000.
Looking him full 10 the face she responded !:
"You made that man what he was-a
drunkard, bloat, a stencil in the nostrils Of
society, and sent him headlong into eternity,
and to n drunkards hell2 What is 81 900
weighed against lost soul wasted life, q
wife widow. and children orphans ?"
He turned deadly pale, aud without word
left the house.
And so we ask "What is all the business
and all the revenue TO the millions whose
homes are despolled whose children are beg
CARED, and whose loved ones are sent head
long to drunkard's grave and drunkard's
hell Put yourself in the place Of that
mother whose son is pursued day aud night
by this demon, till the hairs of his head be-
come serpents, and live Goals burning into
his flesh to the very bone, and fighting devils,
he leaps out into eternity; and then ask

OF TENDER YEARS.


Our darling is of tender years
The angels in their flight
Scarce from tho bordor-land OF tears
Have brought our beam of light.
She, wondering, treads lies flowery way
Beside the peaceful stream
Ne cloud obscurcs her little day,
No waking breaks the dream!
We love to link her little hands
With softest beams Of light.
Alas how coon the broken bands
Drop into depthless night
o childhood thou art like tho dow
Upon a roses robe,-
We see It's bushes blooming through
The colored crystal globe
So life through thee its glory sheds
In tints that aush and fade
Thy joy reflects the Gowery beds
On which It's limbs arc laid
How light the boarded renper's tread
Amidst the growing grain
But when the z rb Of gold isspread
Upon the harvost-plaln,
lie cometh, scythe in hand So thou,
Oh cruel reaper Time
Pass lightly Ger our DAZZLING now,
Fer ripened by the rhyme.

Bring forth our darling's fruit.

We know thy love can suit
