THE

Yesterday was Tilden's day, and our
dispatches this morning will be found
favorable to his success accordingly.
Republican members of the Congress
sional Investigating Committee o n
cede that Florida was carried for
Hayes by fraud. 1t is also reported
from Washington that a leading Re-
publican Senator stated that his
party would at least demand
Wheeler for the Vice Presidency.
This would seem to imply that the
Republicans are disposed to concede
the election of Tilden. However, it is
Hayes turn next to have the advant-
age and to-day's dispatches are as
likely as no to upset all that was tele-
graphed yesterday.
1t is predicted, probably from an in
terested source, that Chamberlain's
government in South Carolina will
shortly crumble to pieces.

proxies were illegally voted by the

in consideration OF a stay of legal pro.

timber in the mountains has been cut
down, and in the localities thus left
barren the rainfall has diminished,
but in the mountains where the tim
Der still exists there is a heavy fall of
snow, which keeps the rivers and
creeks full. The railroad having been
built on the plains, there has been
since 1869 a greater fall of rain and
dew than ever was known before, and
there are many who contend with a
show of reason, from practical expert
ence, that the planting of trees and
shrubbery which is the consequence of
immigration, through the instrument
tality of the railroad, does contribute
to the agricultural prosperity of that
location. Tracts of land that were bar
rem six years ago are now producing
from forty to sixty bushels of wheat
per acre-the rate of product running
from twelve to that amount. The av-
erage product now is thirty to forty
bushels. 1t is true that it is still an
open question, but the preponderance
of practical experience is in favor of
the forest and railroad theory. 1t
would be we'll for cur friends in San
Diego to try the experiment. There
can be nothing lost by the effort.

A Leaf From My Journat.

The cold wind blows gust of fine
rain through every open door: the
loose windows rattle and bang, in and
out of their cases, while from the dis
tant corner rooms comes the sound of
rain against the panes and howls of
wind through the crevices. Just out
side my ricketty window the wind
loudly means down the side way,
through the thickly-hung, sweet
smelling honeysuckles. Dear bios
SONS, that have so often gathered to
sooth and please Nanny's sick fancy;
how pity your frail stems, and how
will your fair buff and white posies be
blown aside by this rough, cruel wind.
and you have given your sweetness
without stint. BIT alas! all life must
"ripen, fall and cease" Tonight L
sit beside dim light, and the noisy
storm makes sad havoc with my
thoughts; sometimes they fit back
ward, cross the bewildering track
in sadness that starts forth in tears
over the crushed wayside flowers.
What veil the war of eiements draws
over happy embrances! One only
calls to memory now the weary bur.
dens put upon the weakened shoul-
ders, and the bruises of the sore heart.
Oh God! must poor humanity be huff
feted with and trampied upon, even
as this thy blossoming nature is?

Senator Booths Position.

A Washington dispatch of yester-
day states that an acquaintance of
Senator Booth asked him by tele-
graph from indianapolis if he would
accept that conventions nomination
for the Presidency. He replied, mo;
l hope my name will not be men
toned as candidate" From the in
formation he has yet received he says
he does not intend to pay any atten-
ton to it, not regarding it as matter
for special notice. He says there are
only two points of agreement between
his financial views and those of the
convention, namely, that the United
States legal tender notes should be
substituted for all the National Bank
notes, and that the easiest way to
bring them up to gold, and provide
for their redemption, is the intercon-
vertibiity of 9.65 bonds, which, he
says, he has heretofore advocated.

perior intelligence, verging upon pre-
cocity, and We may safely congratu-
late ourselves upon the fact that we
have In Southern California a degree
of mental capacity in the rising gene
ration that will, if rightly directed,
tend toward the completion in a social
and moral point of view, as well as in
commercial regard, the accomplish
ment of the highest destiny of our
State that her most sanguine friends
and advocates aspire to. Natures ex-
traordinary extravagancies in devel-
opment are not confined to the mate
rial world alone, but extend also to
the human family. An Intellectual
overgrowth must be curbed, directed
and trained to proper application to
the requirements of the age. Nova
days everything is becoming practical,
and particularly in our State should
we make our educational system con-
form. No logical objection can be
produced to the highest classical edu-
cation of our youth, but at the same
time we should look year or two be-
yond the graduation from the High
School or the College, and consider
how the mental development can be
applied to the requirements of every
day life. There are numerous in
stances where men of brilliant
ability, who have received col
legiate education, come from
their Alma Mater absolute nom
entities in society. In this regard
we should bear in mind that the edict
still hangs over us that man shall
earn his bread by the sweat of his
brow; and the day may come when
the brightest classical scholar, nursed
in the lap of luxury, may be compelled
to accept the imposition of this SEN
tence. Hence, while it cannot be gain
said that education is a social neces-
sity, it must be conceded that a
knowledge of the practical arts is
equally important. Therefore while we
develop the intellect, it becomes us to
learn our boys and girls practical
trade. 1t is no disgrace for a gradu-
ate of Harvard, Yale or any other
University to thus acquire means of
living in case the opportunity of fol-
lowing his chosen profession fails him.
The failure of the adoption of this sys-
tenn of education has caused much
misery in this country, and retarded
the development of many of our most
valuable interests. This principle ap-
plies most emphatically to California,
and 1t is to be hoped that some atten-
tion may be paid to the matter by pa.
rents. No matter how brilliant our
children may be, the day may come
when their classical education will be
of no avail to them. Teach them all
trade, thus giving them an opportu-
nifty to recover in case of former fail
ure, and furnish an opening for the
practical demonstration of the utility
of education.

Education.

A glance into the school-rooms on
Friday was suggestive. In this day
of enlightenment it is not necessary
to indulge in homilies upon the neces-
ity or the benefits of education.
Threadbare axioms are entirely out of
place and in bad taste, but witnessing
the exercises at the exhibition at the
High School, prompts the idea that a
word or two upon the practical appli-
cation of education is not inappropri-
ate. A view of the pupils in the
rooms, and the methods of instruction
shows that the average of intelligence
among the scholars is far above the
average, and that the capabilities of
our teachers is equal to the require
ment of carrying out thorough sys-
tenn of theoretical, and in a measure a
practical system. Among the schol-
ars there Is q marked evidence of su-
