Good Grit.

At the commencement Of the present
term Of the medical college, q young
student from the West started for KeO-
kuk to attend. Arriving ut Abba he
found his means would not he sufficien,
and he footed it the rest Of the way to
this city. He paid ia full for his tuition
and then had just seven dollars left.
Three of these were laid out for quar-
ter's rent for q room, in which was moth
ing but his books. M bucket, no stove,
no furniture, no bed, not even blanket,
and only four dollars 10 live on. In a
month or 20 he procured blanket, and
considered himself fortunate. His mon.
ey was laid out in corn meal, and twice
week he would 60 down by the pork
houses and make up lot of corn bread,
bake it, aud bring it to his room, and On
corn bread alone he has been subsisting
during the entire term.
He has worked and earned five dollars
since he has been here, and on this and
the seven he. bad left, after paying his
college fees, twelve dollars 10 all, he has
subsisted.
During all this time no one has known
how he subsisted, and the only remarka-
bic thing that has been n,ticed about
him il, that he is one Of tho brightest
students in the class, and bids fair to
graduate with the highest honors. His
condition would not have been found out
had it not been that gentleman rented
q room in the same building in which
the student was located, and, by making
his acquaintance ascertained how he had
been living.
The student is bright, frank, fearless
fellow, who asks no favors, has paid in
advance for everything he has got, is not
afraid Of difficulties, and if he proves
not bright and shining light in his pro-
fessiOn--if he is not heard from as an
eminent physician and surgeon, ere many
years roll around, we lose our guess

Plain Language on Obstinacy.

How many mistake this trait for firm
ness! No doubt many an asa has been
led into error from this opinion, aud not
till he has the ricketts, from we'll merited
abuse, does he learn his mistake. How
many maintain what they call a strong
opinion, which proves after all to be a
very stupid one strongly maintained
How many dull heads require an hour to
convince them, followed by complete
failure, and when they should have been
mauled on the head at first without at
tempting to convince them at all, thing
utterly impossible. How many on the
other hand have tried for two hours to
convince another, when they should have
had gag at his throat for their own OBJ
stinacy.
have heard of man who STAYED up
all three nights and a day to convince a
stubborn jury to the right opinion, and
another who never pretended to he Of
the same opinion of another juryman If
he could help it. S,me men have no
respect for conviction till they are knock
ed down, and some would even consider
it satisfaction to die in q wrong opin-
ion.
am afraid fewer martyrs had existed
but for this obstiuacy in the heart OF
man. The best way to kin act or

Labor Conduc tiye of Long Life.

In view of the short duration of life
entailed by some occupations. it must b.
regarded as cOnsoling, yea, sublime
fact, that labor in general does not tend
to shorten life; but, on the contrary, by
strengthening health lcng,hens life
while, on the other hand, idleness and
luxury are productive of the same results
rs the most unhealthy occupations. Dr.
Guy, an Englishman, in calculating the
average duration of life in the wealthy
classes, arrived ut the very surprising re-
suit, with regard To adults, that the high
er the position 10 the social scale, the
more unlimited their meaus, the less tue
probability Of long life.
We have 40 long been accustomed t.

A Battle of tho Ants.

All day long, on Wednesday, un-
til late in the afternoon, war,
fierce and deadly, was going
on at the north end of the Semi
7ropic office, and many thousands
of the combatants, on both sides,
persisted. About 8 o'clo elk
our attention was attracted by a
swarm of what was at first thought
to be bees, perched on the gable
and flying about In close proxim-
ity. A closer examination showed
them to be small winged ants,
some red and some black, who
were waging a war Of extermina.
tion with one another. They would
wheel and dart, now advancing,
now retreating, until at last dozen
or 30 would make dash, and Crap
pling in last embrace, the
whole bunch would fall to the
ground together, there to continue
the combat until one or the other
was stung to death. All day long
was the fight kept up until the
ground was strewn with the slain.
There must have been fully quart
of dead bodies left to tell of the
struggle. What caused
the fight or why it was SO bloody
and relentless will have to be told
by some more skilled "bugologist"
than ourself, but we saw the battle
and pointed it out to others. 1t
was very singular affair, and we
would like rational explanation
Of it.-Colton Semi. Iropic.

This afternoon, three reporters,
representing the Chronicle, Enter
prise and Gold Hill Netcs, stroiied
into the Police Court together, just
in time to hear Constable Norton
remark to Lib Hastings: "They
caught him near the ravine, and
had terrible fight taking him."
"Who was that?' asked these
three in a breath, getting out their
notebook
"ADel Filkinson," said Norton.
The name went down at once on
the three notebooks as "Abe L..
Filkenson," cable Filkin's son."
and "a. Bell Filkinson." "What
did he do?" asked all again.

What the Land Reform League
Wants.

The following list of questions,
embodied in q circular and sent by
the Land Reform League of San
Francisco to candidates for the
Constitutional Convention, fore
shadows the desire on the part of
that body, for some very sweeping
land reforms. The interrogatories
are as follows:
l. If elected to the Constitutional
Convention will you endeavor to
abolish Land Monopoly in this
State, and If so, by what measures
do you propose to accomplish that
object?
2. Are you in favor of providing
that the bona tide and peaceful pos
session, use and improvement of
land for a shOrt period of time
say one year-shall constitute an
indefeasible title thereto?
8. Are you in favor of making
the land bear the burden of taxa
ton now levied upon personal
property and Improvements, so
tnat Iand or equal value shall be
equally taxed without regard to
the use made oft?
4. Are you In favor OF providing
a summary process by which lands
not cultivated or improved may be
legally condemned to the use of
actual settlers, for homestead pur-
poses, upon payment, to the owner,

JUDGE rAwoErG's VIEWS.

AS Judge Fawcett, of Santa Bar
bara, has been elected to the Con-
stituticnal Convention, and is one
of the few men of eminent ability
who will sit In that body, his views
on Constitutional reform become
important. He recently addressed
: letter to o friend, in which he
says:
/. am In favor of taxing mort
Cages, bonds, and ell solvent
Debts" so-called.
2. l am opposed TO any sectarian
division of the school fund, or ap.
preparation of public moneys to
sectari an purposes, or even to pri.
vate charities.
s. The knife must be applied to
Especial legislation 1.-THE cause of
nine-tenths of the corruption now
prevalent in legislative bodies.
Where such legislation is abso-
lutely necessary, 1t should be re-
ferred to local boards. But, as
affecting private interests only, it
Is never necessary, and should not
be tolerated.
4. The power of State, counties,
cities, districts, and all other polit-
ical divisions, or subdivisions, to
incur debt, should tie strictly linn
tied, or taken away altogether.
Ifpermitted at all, the limit should
be placed at q very low figure.
s. favor such reasonable meas
ures as will result in the subdivi
sions Of large tracts of agricultural
lands. I recognize the fac
that the holding Of sucl
lands in large tracts is not in &C
cord with the genius Of Republican
Institutions, and that the practice
should be discouraged by all prope
measures. But, at the same time
I do not wish to be understood q
favoring confiscation or desroil
ment of the land owner, or any
thing tending in that direction. N
agrarianism, communism or social
lam for me.
6. Finally, I am in favor of
good governments government
Of and for the whole people-whicI
does not, even In the slightest de
gree, favor one class at the expens
Of another. Perhaps this is an idea
standard, but we should labor t
attain 1t as nearly as possible.

utterly false. She has continually
reported just such tales of horrible
treatment from the Doctor for the
past ten years, In order to create
sympathy to obtain liquor. Some
times in her dellrium, (when appa-
rently rational, she has stated that
she has been nailed to the wall
through the palms OF her hands,
and her feet to the floor, and at
other times reporting the loss of a
fortune and from three to six chill
dren, when the fact is she never
had either.
His devotion to this woman is
without a parallel, as, through all
her debauchery, he never could be
prevailed upon to forsake her or
believe she reported such tales
about him; and If she did she was
not responsible for what she was
saying.
As to the time in question, he
took her home to his own private
residence In Garden Grove, in the
same state Of body and mind as he
has been in the habit Of doing very
many times. He fixed her bed
and gave her some beer and choral
hydrate, just as she requested.
After observing that she did not
recover as rapidly as usual, he
called in DR.. Hardin, who under
stood her case thoroughly and pre-
scribed accordingly. My brother,
DR.. Cowan, was with his wife when
she died, as also some of the ladies
of Garden Grove.
The committee which the Santa
Ana informant speaks Of, need an
ticipate no trouble in finding Dr.
Cowan at any time, as all they
have to do is to call at my residence
in Anaheim any day.
| One word in regard to the editor
of the Star. 1t seems to me thai
before attempting to blast the rep
utation of a man, he should bt
more careful in getting the rea
facts in the case. If l surmis'
correctly, his informant has thu
reputation of being the most noto
riously untruthful and mischief
making poltroon in Santa Ana
fact of which the Star editor ]
probably well aware.
