 AT a meeting held in San Francis co yesterday, the following request to the president was adopted and tel egraphed to Washington: At meet ing of the executive committee of the Republican State Central Committee, of California, it was unanimously re- solved that the president be respect fully, but most urgently, requested to sign the bill for the limitation of Chi nese immigration. as such immigra- tion is believed by the committee, ar d by those whom it represents, to be not only preiudicial but disastrous to tho welfare of this state.
 Dispatches have been sent to all the Iunty committees in the state, urg- ing them to repudiate the action of the president should he veto the bill. X mass meeting of citizens has been called by the board of supervisors for Thursday afternoon. Gov. Irwin has been asked to preside, and the secre- t.r!es of the state central committees of the republican and democratic par ties will p-obably officiate as secrc- tarieS.

 The national workingmen's assem- ply of this city appeal to tEc presi- dcut to sign the bill restricting Chi. nese immigration, as the only means that will prevent terrible calamity and the utter annihilation of the Ch;- ncse of the Pacific coast, which is sure to follow the veto of the bill.

A strange coincidence Of the Hickey
murder, at Warren. Ohio, has come to
light. Nellie Hickey, a twelve year
old daughter Of the murdered woman,
works in the family OF Perry Woods,
Akron, that State. On the evening OF
the murder, she awoke out Of a horri-
ble dream, in which her mothers
bloody and mutilated form appeared
before her in all the dreadful reality
in which it was found at the Warren
Hotel. The dream was related to mem.
bsrs Of the family, but though it made
a deep impression on the mind of the
young girl, nothing more was thought
of it until she took up the evening pa
per and read therein the details of the
bloody tragedy almost precisely as she
had dreamed it at about the same hour
1t occurred.

LET IT DRY.-Mr. SpurgAon once wenl
to preach in little church outside o
London. The day was wet and muddy
and the pants VI Mr.. Surgeon were
plentitul!y covered with dirt. A good
deacon in the vestry said
mir. Sturgeon let me get brush
and take off some Of that mud you
can't go into the pulpit in that state y
"Don't be foolish, deacon" said Mr.
Spurgeon in his usual good humored
way don't you see the mud is wet
aud if you try to rub it off now, you
will rub the stain into the cloth Let
it dry and then it will come of easy
enough, and leave no mark"
There Is an admirable hint here for
every one. When evil spoken against.
as We may be for the sake of truth, and
men throw mud at us, don't be in a
hurry about brushing it of. Too great
eagsrness in this respect is apt to rut
the stain into the cloth. Let it dry;
and then, by and by, It can bs remov.
cd by little effort. II there is a lit,
tie trouble in the church, don't foster
1t by hate and hurry in doing some.
thing. Let it alone; let it dry; and II
will be more easily settled than you
think now. Time has q wonderful
power In such matters; and it is sur
prising how many things in this world
would be far better arranged, and how
many diff, ulties easily got over, by
judiciously letting them dry.-Beptis

so short q speech. But as Mr.. Webster
was ascending the steps of the Capitol,
ON the morning that he was TO speak, he
met Judge Story, who told him it was a
good opportunity to give his views upon
the Constitution. Webster acted upon
the suggestion, and, instead of speaking
for only half an hour, he spoke for three
hours.
Mr.. Gales. under the spell of the ora.
tor, wrote ON, perfectly unconscious oi
the lapse of time. But when he came
to look over his notes he found th't they
were so voluminous that he would never
have time to transcrihe them. The
speech not appearing in The Intelligencel
in due time, Mr.. Webster called upon
the editor at his house, who told him
that the speech was 50 long and his time
70 much occupied that he feared he
could not find time to write it out fol
publication. While the orator was ex,
postulating with the editor and endeayor
ing to urge him to the work, Mrs. Gales
appeared and said she thought she could
write out the speech, as she had been il
the habit of assisting her husband II
transcribing his notes. She undertook
the task and in two days sent Mr.. Web
ster his speech in full. A magnificent
diamond necklace was the rich reward
of the Massachusetts, Senator. And thus
was preserved to American literature the
masterpiece of our greatest orator.
