THE Texas-Paclfic guarantee bill

THE Texas Pacific guarantee bill
seems, like q wounded snake, to
drag its slow length along in Con-
Rress. We were led to expect that
the battle would have been fought
and won or lost long before this.
Capt. Sherman, one Of the agents
Of San Diego In Washington, wrote
home, about q month ago, that
Col. Scott would be on from Phila-
delphia in few days and that the
fate of the measure would then be
decided. Next to the passage OF
the guarantee, there could be moth
ing 10 grateful to the people of San
Diego a. the ending Of the long
and cruel suspense from which they
have suffered. There are people
living in San Diego to-day who
have been waiting and hoping for
a transcontinental railway for the
last twenty-five years. They have
all been on the tenter hooks of ex-
pectation for the last five years.
A. result Of their patience and
their sacrifices three or four miles
of railway have been graded be-
tween New San Diego and the
race track near Old San Diego.
Such prolonged suspense is almost
more than mortal can bear. The
people of that devoted burg have
over and over again experienced
that hope deferred which maksth
the heart sick. They will know
their fate In q few weeks. Person
ally, we should heartily wish that
1t might be q pleasant one, al
though we have seen no reason t.
alter our original opinion thai
Congress has passed from the era o
granting favors of any kind to rail
way corporations to- that OF insist
ing that these institutions shall rig
idly fulfill their obligations to the
people. As an Angelefio we would
Of course, wish to see our local roae
converted into transcontinenta
one by the ex tension of the South
ern Pacific 10 the Rio Grande. We
would not, however, raise a hane
to prevent the utmost good fortune
that might come to San Diego from
settling upon that devoted spot and
recompensing its people for theil
long and self-denying vigil. II il
for the interest of all parties to the
struggle, however, that the long
aud wearing suspe nse should be
brought to an end at the earliest
practicable moment.

WHEN the announcement was
made that the deceased millionaire,
Mr.. w. S. O'Brien, had made very
liberal requests to charitable OBJ
jects, the public were prepa red
for something very munificent.
The sum of one hundred thousand
dollars, which is the sum total OF
Mr.. O'Brien's effort in that direc
ton, hardly realizes the expecta-
lions which had been formed. Mr..
O'Brien was bach elor; and, conse-
quently, he might readily have
yielded to the impulse to devote
his large wealth, in great measure,
to purposes Of general benevolence.
The ties of paternity are SO strong
that we are not surprised that tesla.
tors yield to them to the exclusion
OF projects which might benefit
their kind and confer upon their
names that degree of notoriety
which must pass muster for i'm.
mortality in this busy, work-a-day
world. He was under no such re.
strlint. Three or four millions of
Mr.. OBrien's money could have
been dedicated to public proje
which would have made the fact
that he had "lived, moved and had
his being" in California a thing to
be PLEASANTLY remem bered. The
O'Brien College or Hospital, started
on scale rivaling the literally en-.
lowed institutions of Great Brit
aiu, would have carried the name
of its founder down to the remotest
generations. As 1t Is, in aTdecade
from now-in the short span of ten
years-not one man in thousand
amongst Californians will remem-
Der that such man as w. s..
O'Brien ever existed.

rock of this kind, bearing marks Of abra-
SION such as would naturally be caused
BY such use. AS they are too heavy to be
used by hand. they must have been fas-
tened to the end of an elastic beam, or
pole, the other end Of which was fastened
in something immoYable, and rested on q
support OF fulcrnm. Thus the elasticity
ofthe beam would overcome the weight
Of the hammer, which could thus be work
ed up and down by a gentle movement of

One Of the stones, which has a very
ancient appearance, was found four feet
under the ground. Both were found near
st. Peter. Other stone hammers of this
kind may have been found in the State,
but we have never heard of any. Still, if
our readers will pay little attention to
the matter, they may find that some of
the apparently worthless stones lying here
and there, were in reality once the ham
mers or axes of races of men who lived
here centuries ago. They can be recog
nized by the shape. The Historical So
ciety have collected few Of them, and
would be grateful fer some more good
specimens. Their cabinet is the proper
place for them, as it is free to the public.

Virgin in their midst black in the sheets
ot golden light. Tall tapers, like white
lily stalks rise between them. In the
nave a crystal cross blossomiug with light
hangs from the gilded dome among the
long-draperied prophets.
At every cornice on the edge Of every
column, stands great golden angel keep
ing guard over tall white taper that
rises before him. The ciear-cut curve of
the arch and the graceful winged shape
are defined against the dusk of the great
side nayes. Undert the shadowy arches Of
the side nayes hang heavy bronze lamps
with crimson glowing flame, casting rud-
dy lights upon the dark marbles of the
walls. Before the brown old bass-reliefs
OF Virgin and Child, straight and slender
with golden halos about their heads, hang
silver lamps heavy with chains.
The manifold rays Of flame penetrate
deep into the dusk of the arches, glow
mellow in the pale gold Of the domes,
transtigure the faces Of the prophets, and
saints and evangelists, and converge to-
ward the lamp Of dark bronze that hangs
from the great dome where the apostles
gaze down from among the oliye-trees to
form glory about the bronze Christ on
the cross that rises from the pavement
below.
At the prayer desks and on the pale
nosaicked floor kneel dark yelled figures.
like statues, against the chancel flame.
The people stand with faces raised to the
throne above the altar glory, where the
great pale Christ sits with His hands up
lifted in blessing. The symbols of the
evangelists stand about Him-mighty
monsters praising God for the many
Christmas-eves they have known since
he old Greek workers called them into
life. A peace not of earth lies upon their
grotesque features, and on the faces of the
worshippers standing with hushed adora-
ton about the shadowy columns. There
are old men whose guns hang by the side
OF the brown Madonna in token of graft
tude for their preservation in the time of
OF the revolution; young girls with rapt
faces; young men with dark brave ewes;
mothers with their babes crying out for
JOY at the brightness. The glory of i'm

Japanese Children.

One OF The first lessons presented to

heartedness of Japan children. One NAV

-Four principal causes of this superiority
OF the children of Japan over those Of 9th
er nations have been suggested by an Eng
lish lady resident there They are
worthy of the attention of the teachers at
home. The style of clothing, loose and
yet warm, is far more comfortable than
the dress of our children. japanese
children are much more out in the open
air and sunshine. The absence of furni-
ture, and, therefore, absence of repeated
ly given instructions mot to foach.'
The thick, soft mating forming at once
the carpet and beds of all japanese houses,
ana the raised Intel on to which the
child may Chamber as it grows strong,
constitutes the very beau ideal of an IN
fanfs playground. Children ale much
petted, without being capriciously thwart-
ed. A child is not cuifed one moment
and INDUCED the next. To these four
most suggestive reasons the writer would
add fifth, which IS, that japanese char
acter IS SO constituted as to bring their
elders into strong sympathy with the lit
tie ones. Ithas been we'll said that .Jap4
