ExEllnation.

A paragraph appeared in this
paper last week, which, without
further explanation, is calculated
to injure Mr.. A. B. Hotchkiss, ot
San Diego, in the public estima-
tion. 1t stated that Mr.. Hotchkiss
had been cited before Judge Nc
Nealy, of the District Court,
charged with corruptly dismissing,
while District Attorney of San
Diego, certain tax suits, and that
he failed to make any defense,
whereupon the Court entered up
judgment disbarring the defendant
from practice in all the Courts
OF the State. Mr.. Hotchkiss
claims that the assessments
on which the suits had
been commenced were double
assessments, and that the suits were
dismissed properly, on payment of
the Sheriff's and District Attor.
ney's fees. The dismissals were
entered on record by his orders,
and the entries were open for in
spection for two and q half years
before the time when these charges
were brought. When he was
brought up for trial in the District
Court, he endeavored to get a
change of venue for cause, but
failed. He then threw himself on
his rights, because he claimed that
a felony was involved in the infor-
nation, and that the Court was
not competent to try O felony of
this character, and If it was, he was
entitled to jury trial. He has ap.
pealed from the judgment of the
Court. and the names of number
of our foremost lawyers are given
as being desirous to go on his brief
to the Supreme Court.
We take the foregoing from the
Express of yesterday. We have
had the pleasure of a long and in.
innate acquaintance with Mr..
Hotchkiss and confess to having
lively admiration for his talents,
accomplishments and 5onhonsnsie.
That he would be capable of COM
mitting the offence of which he is
accused we utterly decline to be-
lieve, and our incredulity will be
shared by his many friends in Los
Angeles. Mr.. Hotchkiss's partizans
claim that his relations with the
Hon. VIM. T. McNealy, District
Judge of the Eighteenth Judicial
District, were such that that gen.
tleman was a most improper per-
son to hold cognizance Of the case.
It is proper to state that Mr..
Hotchkiss attached to the demurrer
filed in the Eighteenth District
Court an affidavit affirming his en-
tire innocence of the offence
charged. The Supreme Court, in
its April term will pass upon the
issue which has been raised be-
tween the parties to a controversy
upon the result of which depends
the legal status of all able and
amiable gentleman.

Wants to Digest 1t.

EDITOR HERALD: Please let me
suggest to our citizens the propri-
ETY. of not voting before the cleo.
tion. I like to see men firm and
decided when they have made up
their minds, but I also like to see
men investigate closely before
making up their minds. It strikes
me that some of our citizens are
rather hasty in advocating the new
Constitution. L have only cen
scraps of the new document as vet.
or what have seen there are some
proposed changes which like, and
some very Objectionable features in
1T. Let us be patient until we re-
ceive, read and digest the whole
document. PEEL.

The shopllfrer,sAt0r.

A strange narrative came 10 Ii ght in
New York recently, which welt illus
trates the dark and bright !ide of the
great metropolis. A young md hand
somely dressed lady made u complaint to
the police th..t q certain woman was an
noying and trying to blackmail her.
Tie party proved to be Mag" Morgan,
a notorious shoplifter, who surprised the
authorities by declaring that the COM
plainant was her daughter, and pro-
duced letters from the lady to prove her
assertion. The young lady after II time
said that she did not really know whether
The woman was her mother or not, as she
had lived with her aunt since she was
thirteen months of age. Her father left
her mother because she was q bad wo-
man, and she had no positive knowl-
edge that the Mag" was, or was not,
her parent. She said that she had mar
ried a retired gentleman and did not wish
to be annoyed or slandered further.
Mag" produced letters written by her
(claimed to be) daughter, commencing
"dear mother" all Of which, with one
exception, were claimed to be forgeries.
The shoplifter began to cry, and prom
ised to 60 away and to try and live q
better life. This so affected the young
lady that she, too, wept. Superintendent
Walling allowed the shoplifter to 60. and

A Child in a Bear.Pit.

Joe Beef is a noted character of Mon
.trcal who keeps 8. saloon and cating-
house. Under his "Cantcen," on Com
mon street, he has n bcar-pit. which is
rcigned over by II big black bear weigh
ing 400 pounds. There are also y she
bear and two comparatively young cubs.
One afternoon, Il short tiffle ago, while Il
colorcd preacher was holding services in
the singing-room of the "Cantccn," the
trap-door was thrown open to show the
bear to several American visitors. Just
as Joe stepped into the barroom his siX:
year-old son fell into the den. The old
bears were in Il corner, but Il cub ran ut
the child, wis scradAaA1, a. man
stretched himself on the floor, leaned
down, caught hold of the little fellow
and r.iscd him up, the she bear ut the
same instant selling the child. The
mans hold slipped and the child fell into
the bears claws. Joe meanwhile had
heard the scream and the noise. He
leapcd into the pit, lighting on the head
of one of the bears, and fearing the child
from the monster placed it behind him.
The she bear sprang ut Joe and drove
her teeth through his right knee. Joe
picked up brick and defended himself
from further attack, although the bears
had lost all tameness and had become in
furiated. When pulled out the man was
covered with blood, but not fatally in
iured.

Fashion Notes.

BOnnctS are worn very high.
Deep apron overskirts are still in
favor.
Some of the new vests are oval in out
line, and stop ut the belt.
The newest boots for dancing are
made of satin, with high heels.
The side cores of some ovcrskirts are
laid in eight lengthwise plaits.
The polka basque. us it is made this
year, is the old-fasllioned clatelaine
waist.
4 variety of belts are coming into
vogue. leather, linen and of other mate
rialS.
Lusterlcss blue turquoise is thought
to be exceedingly becoming to fair COM
pIryions.
Laundry pin-cushions, with 4 laundry
list printed on the under side, are the
latest invention.
English women wear and like the little
baMnrtS made of clusters of flowers lying
on black lace.
BaSqucs Of Il material entirely different
from that of the skirt are made by tie
French drcSSmakers.
Morning and travelling dresses and sea-
side costumes become more and more
masculine in appearance.
Summer colors are very gay, and the
streets look rs though flock of butter
flies were floating through them.
1t is prophesicd that the heavy braids
and rull'S will come in again rs soon as
puii.d skirts really become fashionable.
Bunting balmoraiS are shown for sum-
mcr wear. They are finished with two
or three plaitinss ut the bottom, and are
sometimes trimmed with bias bands of
satin.

sidering the prcjudicrs of early edit IL

Basques of Il different material from
the skirt will, it is said, be fashionable
in the autumn, and even now brOcadC

4 Fortune in an Old Trunk.

thought, in rather poor circumstances.
B. r. Cauthorn was appointed admins
traitor Of the estate, and u few days since
VI. Y. Duncan and J.>J. Steele, us ap-
praisers, visited the house of Corkcr to
invoice the property Of the deceased.
After going over various old notes, etc.,
they were about to leave when they saw
IN old leather trunk in the corner, which
they kicked open more out Of curiosity
Than with the expectation of finding any
thing in it. When will wonders cease?
In that trunk was nearly 800, 900 in old,
rusty gold coin and musty bank notes.
The coins and notes all bcar an old date,
showing that Corker did not believe in
banking his money, but boarded 1t up.

dicd there recently, it is claimed. ut the
remarkable age of III years. The case
of Aunt Esther, as she was called, is
worth more than Il passing notice, not

authenticated by very strong evidence,
but also because she was 4 slave of

her name, and, with tie rest of Mr..

after his death. Esther Jefferson and

enough to buy their own freedom. A

Wcston's last mile was made in eleven
minutes and twenty-one seconds, and he
appeared then to be still in good con-
dition. He got $4,000 as his share of the
gate money, which amounted altogether
to $4,000. The following comparison
shows the difference between the per-
formance of the two leading contestants
