Why They suddenly Lost interest.

nURING the last cold snap party
~ of pedro players, in Grass Valley
California, suddenly lost all interest in
the game. The stove in the room was
warm and everything was comfortably,
and the players were even somewhat
hilarious, when the game suddenly came
to an end. The first man to quit held a
bully" hand and had the pitch. He
was sure of making fifteen points, and
yet he put down the hand without play
ing and walked out of the front door !;
the others all followed him. None of
them stopped to take "what was coming
on the last round" The cause of it was
this Among the players was mining
man, and before he took seat he de-
posted several round packages under
the stove During the game he would
occasionally get up and turn those pack
ages over.
He seemed to want them to bake reg
ularly on all sides. His getting up so
often somewhat interrupted the game,
for no man can serve two masters. One
of the players demonstrated at these in
terruptions, and remarked:
See here, Uncle John, attend to the
game, and let them things under the
stove alone; what have You got there,
anyhow, that takes up SO much time ~
The old man only remarked:
Z" L want to thaw out them giant
powder cartridges agin mornin' SOS
they'll be rea--"
But the crowd didn't wait for the bal
ance of the explanation. Uncle John
then proceeded to roast his cartridges all
by himself, and was no longer bothered
by company or any side remarks. He
uttered something about some people
being sc so darn scary at nothing"

A PUZZLED TEACHER.

CHE was at one of the union school
y houses half an hour before school
opened. She had "Linda'' with her. She
was tall woman, forty years old, with q
jaw showing great determination, and
Linda" was sixteen, and rather shy
and pretty good looking. The mother
said she hadn't been in the city long and
that it was her duty to get Linda into
school and see that she was properly ed
ucated. When the teacher came she
boldly inquired:
You know enough, to teach, do
you ?''
81 think do" replied the teacher
blushing deeply.
"And you feel competent to govern
the scholars, do you 20
+" Yes'm."
DO you pound 'em with ferrule, or
lick 'em with whip?"
''We seldom resort to punishment
here, replied the embarrassed teacher
"That's better yet," continued the
mother. A." know that if Linda should
come home all pounded up I'd feel like
killing some one, / suppose you are of a
respectable character, amt you ?'
Why-ahem-why-"s stammered the
teacher, growing white and red.
81 expect you are" continued the wo-
man. It's well enough to know who
our children are associated with"
Now, then, do you allow the boys
and girls to sit together ~
No, ma'am."
That's right. They never used to
when / was young, and L don't think
Linda is any better than am. Another
thing, do you allow any winkingp"
"Any what ?" exclaimed the puzzled
teacher.
I" DO you allow boy to wink at agirlS'
asked the woman.
"Why, no ~
Z" I was afraid you did. Linda is as shy
as bird, and if she should come home
some night and tell me that she had been
winked at, don't know what I'D do.
Now, another thing-do you have a

"Then am doubly glad L thought of
it," returned George. 81 will call early
SO that we can secure good seats. And
now wish you good morning, Miss

handsome mansion in Belgravia, it will
not be for the want of asking, I'll war

Whether the asking was done as
they went to or came from the concert
that night, can't say, as did not go,
but If not then it was soon after, for in
three months there was wedding, and
pretty Nettie became Mrs. Herbert.
Miss Lulu, Miss Dorsey and Miss
Baldwin were all invited and were there,
lovely as angels, though they did WON
der at George Herbert's bad taste in
taking that baby-faced little girl, when
he might have had any of them for the
asking.
And George never explained why he
made the choice he did.

A DAUGHTERS LOVE.

IN THE hour of punishment, love al
Il ways has last effort to make for
human blame. And that is often its
happiest effort; for affection may save
at the last those who have been brought
to repentance for sin only by sims bit
ter results.
About forty years ago, an elderly
man living in Western Connecticut,
who had sadly reduced his estate by
habits of intemperance, found himself
threatened with an execution for debt
which would deprive him of his old
home, and leave him in friendless pow
erty. His daughters, with one excep-
ton, had grown and gone away, the one
remaining at home being an invalid ,and
his wife also quite infirm. That his
needy but loving family, who had often
pleaded with him to cease his indulgence
in strong drink, must be turned out of
doors, was prospect cruel in the ex-
treme and the thought that he alone
was to blame added remorse to the sor-
row that sobered him now.
There was a mortgage of eleven hun
dred dollars on his place, and the holder
wanted his money and would not wait.
In vain the aged debtor had begged for
a little extension of time. The creditor
had no sympathy for a borrower who
made and kept himself poor by his own
vices.
On the morning of the day when the
mortgage was to be foreclosed, the un-
happy old man, unbeknown to his fam
lily, to whom he had never told the des
perate state of his affairs, called at the
office of the lawyer who had the business
in charge, and made one more pitiful
appeal. But nothing could be done for
him, and, certain at last that the threat
ened blow must fall, he sank into a
chair, completely overcome. The law
yer, who could not help feeling some
passion for his misery, did not disturb
him, and he sat there two hours like one
stunned. At the end of that time a
carriage drove hastily to the door, and "a
moment after, a lady entered the office.
1ohO oOOPPSN anu SOHSd bOhhOliJ dO Inc
old man, who still sat with his face
buried in his hands.
g Father! |"
The old man suddenly raised his
head. 1t was a long-absent daughter,
returned to him in his distress. " Oh,
Margaret, you have found me in sad
time. Everything looks dark. Your
poor mother and sister will be turned
out of doors. 1 can't go and tell them
Ii
g There, there, father, hear me now /"
said the lady, the tears gathering in her
eyes. "Do you think you could live
the rest of your life temperate man if
this mortgage was paid off, and you had
your home again p'
"Oh, yes, could, and would if it
would do any good, but --"
"1hen sign the pledge, father. /
have it here, and the money, too.''

A Novel Bridal Trip.


ID ATHER an unique station-house
IN item is thus reported by the Jersey
City Journal Last night neatly attir-
ed young lady stood up at the Sergeant's
desk in Oakland avenue station and ask
ed for lodging. The Sergeant put up his
pen, pushed back the ledger, hung his
cap on the other peg, took the telegraph
box, wound up the clock, told Uncle
Ben to put on some wood and stop the
fire, and as if remembering something,
looked at the eyoung lady and said: "You
wish-p"
Lodging if you please sir"
"Oh, yes, excuse me"
Then the Sergeant put the usual ques-
tions of nativity, age, married or single,
read or write, place of birth, trade-it
was all printed and he must fill the
blanks-and the neatest and best cell
the tombs could afford was nervously
placed at the pretty visitors disposal.
Nothing further was heard from the free
lodger until just at day-break next
morning, when her fair face appeared
again at the SerBeantS S desk.
"Can see my husband now, ,please?"
she said.
Certainly, madam" was the polite
reply, and for three minutes the spookish
silence of the early morn was unbroken.
"Well, won't you please call him UP
for mel" she said, trying to bore hole
through the floor with the heel of her
right foot, " he came in just after did
last night"
"Oh, your husband is here also, is he?
What is his name r''
"Ive forgotten what name he told me
he would give. 1t wasn't his right name;
but he is here"
And the Sergeant went to the door of
the mems lodge and called out for
the husband of the young wife. The
seventeen dodgers raised up on their
elbows as one man, but neither came to
claim the lady.
Guess he isn't here" said the Ser
| geant, returning to the office.
The girl insisted that he was, and would
not be satisfied until the seventeen tired
travellers were made to come out and
stand in a row for her inspection.
She ran her glances down the line and
began to cry. Pauses here and there in
the flood of tears gradually let out the
whole secret. She had been married at
noon yesterday, New York justice re-
ceiving the combined wealth of the pair
for his official service, and the young
bride and groom had started on their
wedding tour on foot. In Railway they
had well-to-dO friends, who would make
them welcome, but the journey was too
long one for night, and the pair had
concluded to stop over, under assumed
names, in some police station. Oakland
Tombs was the one selected.
The sobs and the story had thus far
progressed when the street door hurried
ly opened, and a Young man, who had
declined the lodgers' accommodations
when shown him the evening before,
hurriedly entered and said was
just outside waiting.'' The young bride
stopped crying, both politely thanked
the sergeant, and with faces wreathed in
smiles the happy pair walked lightly
away.

respected uncle-all regular And now,

So ran George Herbert's soliloquy as
he walked home from his office one
evening, soon after he had became the
heir of his uncle
1 declare" he continued, as he set
tied into solitary corner in a half
empty car, +" would marry at once if

What did happen was that Mr..
George set out at very Questionable
hour next morning to call upon some of
his friends.
1t was so early an hour that he knew
they would not be expecting him or
ready to receive him, and that was Just
what he wanted.
His first call was upon Miss Lulu
Granger, where only the night before he
had spent so delightful an evening, ad-
miring Miss Lulu's faultless toilet and
soft sweet voice until a late hour.
A servant who was sweeping the front
steps told him Miss Granger was in, and
as the door stood open, George stepped
unceremoniously in, too, and walked
into the front parlor.
The heavy curtains were drawn, MAX
ing the elegant room somewhat dark,
but the back parlor was wide open and
George saw vision.
Miss Lulu, her hair twisted upon the
top of her head about the size and shape
OF peeled onion, her fair forehead
adorned with several little paper horns,
her pretty person arrayed in a soiled
frayed wrapper, without belt or collar,
and her pretty feet in slippers decidedly
shocking, was tossing over some shining
silks, in consultation with plain little
body, whom George guessed at once to
be her dressmaker.
Their backs were partly towards him,
and quickly turning, George beat a
hasty retreat, saying TO himself as he
ran down the steps

Select Poetry.
1T is NOT YOUR BUSINESS WHY.


Would you like to know the secrets
Of your neighbours house and life2
How he lives or how he dosen't,
And just how he treats his wife
How he spends his time of leisure,
Whether sorrowful or gay,
And where he goes for pleasure,
To the concert or the play?
If you wish it, 1 will tell you
Let me whisper to you sly
If your neighbor is but civil
1t is not your business why.
In short, instead of prying
Into other mems affairs,
If you do your own but justice,
You will have no time for theirs.
Be attentive to such matters
AS concerns yourself alone,
And whatever fortune flatters,
Let your business be your own.
One word by way of finish,
Let me whisper to you sly
If you wish to be respected,
You must cease to be pry.

sALLOrING FOR SENATOR.

The Democratic members of the Cali.
fornia Legislature met in joint caucus
again yesterday afternoon to ballot for
candidate for United States Senator.
Four ballots were taken in which the
candidates developed about equal
strength, Farley leading by a few votes.
Last evening several ballots resulted in
no material change, and the caucus ad.
iourned until this afternoon. As there
are SO Democrats in. the Legislature, AZ
votes are required for caucus nomina-
ton. On the eleventh ballot last night
Farley received rs votes. the highest
number yet polled for any candidate,
but long ways short Of the requisite
AZ. Unless one or two of the present
candidates are withdrawn. it is not im-
probable that new man will have to
be taken up by the caucus and awarded
the prize.

CHINESE ASK FEDERAL PRO-

The six companies, whose rules
govern all the Chinese on the Pacific
Coast and are much more respected
than the laws of the country, and
which furnish, coolies 10 any number,
for any purpose, at less wages than is
required to keep white man from
starving, have telegraphed the Presi-
dent for Federal protection. They
assert that mob of hoodlums made a
murderous assault upon a gang of
Cinnamon in San Francisco, and imply
that the local. authorities would not
interfere. A dispatch from San Fran
DISCO says this is a malicious falsehood.
and the only foundation for such COM
plant Is that three or four small boys
threw stones at some Cinnamon who
landed from the Sacramento boat, and
that the boys were soundiy spanked by
the Harbor pohcs tor doing 50. This
fact will count tor nothing against the
representations of the six companies at
Washington. Though petitions and
Inconsistencies against the. wholesale
importation OF coolies have been fire.
quently sent to Washington from this
coast no notice is taken of. the matter,
but lying telegram from the Chinese
receives immediate attention The evil
of Unlimited Chinese immigration,
which the st. Louis platform promised
10 suppress by legislation, is not con.
ssdered worthy of mention in the Presi.

greatest Importance and deserving of
AS much attention as the Mexican
