Be Brave.

Young men, be brave! Many people
imagine that courage is confined to the
field of battle. There could be no greater
mistake. Even contentious with men
unavoidable contentions-are not by any
means limited to the public battlefields.
And there are other struggles in private
life-struggles, it may be, with habits or
appetites or passions-all OF which require
as much courage, and more of persever-
ance, than the brief, exciting encounter of
battle. Enough to struggle against, en-
ough to contend with, enough to overcome
lies in the way OF every young man. 1t
may be one kind of difficulty, or it may
be another, but plenty of difficulty of some
kind every young man just starting in life
may be sure that he will find. And the
essential thing about it to him is whether he
will have the courage to look all difficult
ties resOlutely in the face, to meet them
bravely, and to persevere until he con-
quer; in other words, whether he will be
a coward and succumb, or be what the In
dians significantly term ''brave." He
who never falters, no matter how adverse
the circumstances, always enjoys within
himself the consciousness Of perpetual,
spiritual triumph, OF which nothing can
deprive him.

At Jamestown, Conductor Law invited
Joseph to supper with him. Joseph ac-
cepted, and after he was through, strolled
away from the eating house into the village
in search of bread aud some good things
for his family. He has good heart, and
means that Mrs. Joseph and little Joseph
shall have something to eat as we'll as HIM

the train pulled out and Joseph was '.left. ~
A mile or two from the station, passen-

''JOseph's left.'' The conductor inme-

Let your colt be domesticated and live
with you from his tenderest age, and when
a horse he will be simple, dOcile, faithful
and Injured to hardship and fatigue.
Do not beat your horses, nor speak to
them in a loud tone of voice; do not get
angry with them, but kindly reprove their
faults they will do better thereafter, for
they understand the language of man and
ITS meaning.
If you have long days journey, spare
your horse at the start; let him frequently
walk to recover his wind. Continue this
until he has sweated and dried three times,
and you may ask of him whatever you
please, he will not leave you in difficulty.
Observe your horse when he is drinking
at brook. If in bringing down his head
he remains square, without bending his
limbs, he possesses sterling qualities, and
all parts Of his body are built symetricaL

A young mans interest and duty both
dictate that he should make himself in
dispensible to his employer. He should
be 80 Industrious, prompt and careful that
the accident of his temporary absence
should be noticed by his being missed. A
Young man should make his employer his
friend, by doing faithfully and minutely all
that is entrusted to him. 1t is great mis-
take to be Over-nice or fastidiOus about
work. Pitch IN readily and your willing
ness will be appreciated, while the ''higl-
toned'' young man who bubbles about
what it is and what it is not his place to
do. will get the cold shoulder. There is
story that George Washington once helped
roll log that one of his corporals would

Russia worked as a shipwright In Eng

what you want to do. Be energetic, look
and act with alacrity, take an interest in
your employers success, work as though
the business was your own, and let your
employer know that he may place abso-
lutte reliance in your word and on your act.
Be mindful have your mind on your bus
iness be -ause it is that which is going to
help you, not those outside attractions
which some of the ''boys" are thinking

Judith Basin Murder.
From the Benton Record ]


Messrs. Bowles and Caruthers called at
the Record office on Wednesday, and gave
the following account of the shooting at
fair in the Judith Basin, report OF which
was published in our last issue but one, as
received from VIM. Cline. 1t appears that
deceased came to Major Reeds ranch in a
semi-intoxicated condition, flOurished a re-
yolver and threatened to shoot not only
Reed but several other inmates of the
house. Gurd was a stout, heavy built
man, and known to be an ugly customer
when under the influence OF liquor. he
struck Reed in the face with revolver,
repeatedly put the pistol to his head, and
compelled Reed to give him not only IL
quor but all the money in the till, and de-
ceased tore the money in small pieces and
threw it on the floor. Reed complied with
all his demands, and in addition offered
him horse and saddle to leave the place,
but finding he could not get rid OF him
wanted the other men to help him to dis
arm deceased, but for some reason or 9th
er thev did not offer to help. Reed states
that he had Henry rifle behind the coun-
ter. and would have been justified in using
it at an earlier moment, but the weapon
was unlosded, and deceased had revolver
pointed at him nearly all the time. De-
ceased finally chased one of the men out
of the room and around the house, and
Reed followed with the rifle loaded. AS
Reed passed around the house, he met de-
ceased who again covered him with his re-
volyer. Reed at once raised his rifle and
shot deceased dead. Bowles and Car,l-
theirs are willing to make affadavit to this
statement. 1t is said that Reed offered to
surrender himself to the Meagher county
authorities, but the latter refused to take
any steps in the matter. -

Seymour has no fear Of a disruption Of the

General distress makes general discomfort.
These give birth to various theories about

these theories only show that those who
hold them are in trouble, they bring out
many facts which will be Of value. To cure

DEATH OF BAlLLnE pEYToN.

The Bulletin of the goth instant pub
fishes an interesting sketch of Baillie Pcy-
ton, who died on thu 10Th at Gallatin,
Tennessee. Says that journal "Mr.
Peyton must have been well advanced in
years at the time Of his demise. He was a
member of Congress from Tennessee, his
native State, from 1888 to 1887. He was
Minister to Chile during the administra-
tions Of Presidents Taylor and Fillmore.
At the expiration of his term Of Office he
travelled up the coast, and settled in this
city. Mr.. Peyton belonged TO the class Of
politicians who, while moving from State
to State, never forgot their birthplace.
In this city he was a leader in the Wing
party, and on the dissolution Of that organ
ization passed over to the American party.
He was elected On the Know-Nothing ticket
in 1854 to the office Of City Attorney. The
head Of the ticket was Mayor Webb, who
Is now residing in Massachusetts,, but, we
believe. in poor circumstances and blind.
Previous to this triumph Of the American
party, the Democracy had been strongly
entrenched in this city. From the time Of
the American occupation, tho Wings were
partially successful only at one municipal
election. In those days the Democracy, at
least in San Francisco, was mostly North
ern in it's composition. The New York
element was largely preponderant. Many
Southern men were Wings, and others
manifested a strong tendency to organize
independent parties. Contemporary with
Mr.. Peyton were II. s. Foote, who had
been Senator and Governor of Mississippi,
and William Smith Of Virginia, better
known as Extra Billy Smith, who, how
ever, was an early immigrant. Mr.. Smith
had once been Governor Of Virginia. He
subsequently served the same State in
Congress, and afterwards was a member Of
the Confederate Congress, as was also Mr..
Footc. They were all old men when they
came to California. When the prize which
had tempted them here-the United States
Senatorship-had been carried off by poll
ticians more thoroughly identified with
the State, they strayed toward their old
homes, and now. at the end Of another
generation, Mr.. Peyton is the first to die.
