The Two Turkeys

An honest farmer once led his
two turkeys into his granary and
told them to eat, drink and be
merry. One OF these turkeys was
wise and one foolish. The foolish
bird at once INDUCED excessively
in the pleasures Of the stable, UNI
suspicious OF the future, but the
wiser fowl, in order that he might
not be fattened and slaughtered,
tasted continually, mortified his
flesh and devoted himself to gloomy
reflections upon the brevity OF life.
When Thanksgiving approached,
the honest farmer killed both tur-
keys, and by placing ro,k in the
interior of the prudent turkey
made him weigh more thaa his
plumper brother.
Moral-As we travel through life
let us live by the way.

Los Angeles and the Supreme
Court.


The Assembly Judiciary Com
mittee has acted with commedable
wisdom in deciding to give Los
Angeles two short sessions of the
Supreme Court yearly, and there
should be no opposition in either
House to 80 manifestly just O
measure. The southern counties
0f&thIs StateSare in about. the same
dissatisfied relationship with the
northern counties that the South
used to be with the North. We do
not'anticlpate any attempts at se-
cession, while to contend that the
700 statute miles from the north
crntO the southern borders of Cali
fornia will foreverremain under one
government, is admitting that
which few have the hardihood
TO expect. But it is unlikely
that California will be divided for
number Of years yet, however
strongly ths'southern counties may
urge the measure. Hundreds of
thousands of people must be added
to our population, our mountains
must resound with the mining
whistle, our valleys TEEN with
husbandmen and the southern part
of the State must grow cities and
vast farming communities before it
Will be desirable to add another
State jewel to the diadem of the
Pacific Coast. In the meantime,
though, Southern California mus
be kept on good terms with the
balance of the State. Our relations
must be such that when the proper
time comes for the division 1t will
be looked upon as mutual advan-
tage, In which both sections Of
the present State will be equally
benefited. Manycomplaints have
already been heard from the South.
What has been deemed proper at
tontion to its irrigation has not
bsen paid. 1t has never yet had a
United States Senator, nor q Su-
prome Court. The bill now
before the Legislature provides for
the present two annual terms
of three months each at San Fran.

leach (instead of three months as
heretofore at Sacramento, and
then of two annual short terms oil
one month each at Los Angeles
This endowment of Supreme Court
dignity to Los Angeles, besides be
ing in accordance with the require
ments of strict justice, will go fai
toward pacifying Southern Cali
fornia to the existing order oil

Bret Harss's waning star.

They are speaking very unpleas-
antly at the East about Bret Harte.
A New York correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette serves him up
thus cruelty: One of his best
friends once told me that Harte's
great trouble lay in the fact that
he was absolutely devoid of q con.
science. If his washerwoman had
saved $500 by long years of careful
Industry, he would borrow 1t with.
out the slightest inteE...on of re-.
paying it, or without q single
twinge of conscience over his ac-
ton. Indeed, Harte has closed up
most Of the avenues about him as
Dick Swiveler did. The New York
Times, which once published some
stories Of his, spoke of him, edito-
rally, some time ago, in way
that was the next thing to
calling him swindler. There Is
an old story about his lectur-
ing in Boston, with q Sheriff's of.
ficer at each side Of the platform,
Den1nu the scenes, waiting to get
the money for tho dress suit in
which he was lecturing, and there
are stories innumerabIe about his
personal debts, and of the sums he
has received from publishers in adj
vance, without furnishing them
with the stipulated equivalent In
manuscript. The mystery is,where
all the money goes, for there has
been great deal of it, and he is
not known as a man Of gambling
habits. 1t is a melancholy thing
TO witness the rapid decline OF q
man who stood so high and had
such brilliant promise. But his
friends have ceased to defend him,
and it is q good while since an
American magazine printed any
thing from his pen.

This morning about 3 o'clock an
accident occurred in the Gould &
Curry mine which resulted in the
almost instant death of William
Callacott. Deceased and three other
men were retimbering the shaft at
= point rs feet above the seventh
station, when Callacott, in moving
from one plank to another, slipped
and fell into the pump compart-
ment, descending to the seventh
station, where he was caught IN
the oss-timbers. His companions
Immediately went down and found
his body lying
sLIMP AND MANGLED ACROSS A
TIMBER,
With the blood streaming from his
head and chest. He was quite dead,
and the cage was lowered to take
him on. An attempt was then
made to remove him from the
beam on which he lay, and ropes
were brought into requisition, to
swing the body across the compart-
mant to the cage. 1t was lying in
such manner that 1t barely held
itself In place, and the moment 1t
was moved it slid from the grasp Of
the men and
SHOT HEADLONG DOWN THE SHAFT
Falling o distance of 500 feet.
While this unfortunate mishap was
much to be regretted, it really
made no difference to Callacott,
who was quite dead from his first
fall. The cage was then lowered to
the bottom of the shaft, and the re-
mains of the unfortunate man
picked up, shapeless mass of flesh
and bones. They were bound up
in gunny sacks and removed to
Wilson & Browns coffin rooms.
Cdllacott was a CornIshman, about
s. years efage and leaves a wife
and two children. The inquest will
be held this evening.-VI Virginia
Chronicle, Jan. 25.
