CRAZY AS A BED BUG. All Sue, the Chinese
chicken thief, who is SD anxious to get back
to his old quarters in the State Prison, and
who has been the subject of numerous para
graphs in the HoRNING APPEAL, is, without
doubt, AS crazy as bed bug. A reporter Wis
tied him in Jail yesterday, and the fellow was
singing one If his heather songs, and appear
Q happy as a lark. He was nervously in
quiring when he would be sent back to Jake
Lynn, the Commissary Of the State Prison,
for whom he has taken great fancy; and
when told that he would be sent back to
morrow, his face lighted up with an insane
JOY. He has peculiarly abnormal passion
for chickens, dead or alive, and he seems to
regard them in the light Of deity. He was
asked how chickens cackled, and in a simple
manner initiated that fowl, just as if the
question had been put to a child. Every
look and question of the Chinaman denot, o
that he is insane, although his madness is
not Of violent or dangerous character He
is now awaiting the action of the next Grand
Jury; but it would be as well, before putting
the county to any expense, which his trial must
entail, to have his mental condition examined
by competent medical Board, and if he is of
unsound mind, send him to Stockton
WATER SUPPLY FOR STATE INSTITUTIONS
Several of the State Capitol Commissioners
were at rreadway's ranch yesterday, examn-
ing springs for the purpose of securing water
for the State Capitol building and Orphans
Home, as the water supply at the Warm
Springs is inadequate to the demand, and the
fall is not great enough. At present it looks
most feasible to purchase two springs on
Thorne's ranch, which have a fall of from 80
it is doubtful whether a sufficient supply of
water could be gotten from that source

mise of a much longer life. Their style of
living ruined them. The bill of fare was
large and generous. They paid for what
was in it. why not eat it? They began
with soup and ended with nuts and
raisins. Their diet palled on their palates.
Vigorous condiments were added to give
their food relish. Copious draughts of
liquor were enjoyed. They lived a fast
life, and had fast life's reward. My style
of living is entirely different. regarded
the hotel as my home, where was to live
for years. The spread was af1uent, but
my living was simple. changed my soup
daily, confined myself to one kind of
meat. and changed it every day. The des-

HELP ONE ANOTHER.-ThiSl little SEN
tence should be written on every heart
stamped on every memory. 1t should be
the golden rule practice not only in every
household, but throughout the world. By
helping one another we not only remove
the thorns from the pathway and anxiety
from the mind, but we feel sense Of
pleasure in our hearts, knowing we are do
ing duty to fellow-creature. A helping
hand or an encouraging word is no loss to
US, yet it is benefit to others. Who has
not felt the power of little sentence?
Who has not needed the encouragement
and aid of kind friend? How soothing
when perplexed with some task which is
both difficult and burdepsome, to feel a
gentle hand on the shoulder, and to hear a
kind voice whispering, "Do not be dis
couraged; see your troubles, let me help
you" What strength is inspired, hope
created, what sweet gratitude Is felt; and
the great difficulty dissolves as dew before
the sunshine. Yes, let us help one anoth-
er. by endeavoring to strengthen and en-
courage the weak, and lifting the burden
of care from the sad and oppressed, that
life may glide smoothly on, and the fount
of bitterness yield sweet waters, and He
whose willing hand is ever ready to aid
us, and every good deed will be ''bread
upon the water, to return after many
days." if not to us at least to those we
love.

A FAIR FOR MARRIAaEABLE DAUGH-
TERs.-Baby shows have become matter
of common occurrence; but what shall we
say to an annual fair for manageable
young girls? Such show took place a
short time since, and is of immemorial
custom among the Roumanians. As the
time for the fair approaches the fathers
whose children are marriageabIe collect
what they can afford as a dowry. What.
ever this consists of it is packed, if posi-
BILE, into cart or carriage, and on the ap-
pointed day they all-fathers, children,
and chattels-start for some trysting place
generally chosen among the western
mountains of Pennsylvania. When the
fair is opened the fathers climb to the TOP
OF their carriages, and shout with the
whole power of their lungs, ~ have
daughter to marry. Who wants wife ?'
The call is answered by some other parent
who has son he is anxious to pair off.
The two parents compare notes, and if the
marriage portion is satisfactory, the treaty
is then and there concluded The young
man takes possession of his wife and all
her goods and chattels, and drives off mer-
rily. If. on the other hand, the match is
not equal, or for some reason or other un-
satisfactory, then the parents begin to cry
their live merchandise once more,

MoTHER.--Despise not your mother
when she is old. Age may wear and waste
a mothers beauty, strength, senses and
estate; but her relation as mother IS as the
sun when it goes forth in its might, for it
is always in the meridian, and knoweth no
evening. The person may be gray-haired,
but motherly relation is always in bloom.
1t may be autumn, yea, winter, but with
the mother it is always spring. Alas! how
little do we appreciate mothers tender
ness while living! How needless are we in
youth Of all her anxiety and kindness! But
when she is dead and gone-when the cares
and the GOODNESS of this world come with
ering to our heart-then it is that we think
Of the mother we have lost.

THE oBsTRU0TED TRACK.

On crisp night in October the wind
rustled the leaves in the woods that sur
rounded Viola Vathek's house.
Above the fair girl, who looked out of a
small dormitory window, shone countless
stars; she might have seen Boots and ORR
on had she looked, but that night the
worlds of heaven had no attraction for
her.
She was listening to strange sound
bt rne from the west by the nocturnal
breeze that chilled her cheek. might
have said, with propriety, a succession of
sounds, for it seemed as if number of
persons were cording wood or moving
heavy timber not far away. Save this
noise the night was quiet, and she heard
without interruption from the window of
her boudoir.
Il believe it is in 'Gwynne's CUT" she
said at last to herself. "Perhaps some
william is obstructing the track for devil
ish purposes. The Red Bird will soon be
due, and this is Ed s trip down."
Her face grew triflle paler as she spoke
and moment later she stood before the
ancient time keeper in one of the rooms.
The moonbeams stealing in at the win
dow fell on the face of the dial and told
Viola that it was ~ o'clock. s.,.. ,l....
''Twelve!' she murmured. t'What! IL
o'clock, and he whistles to me at half
past! Ny heavens! what if the track is
INSTRUCTED in the cut!'' y,@
With the last word on her lips, she turn
ed and soon left the house.
Attic gate she paused moment and
listened. The sounds were still to be heard
and she believed that thew emanated from
spot ia the cut near the cattle guard
Then she started forward again and cross
ed the meadows that lay between her home
and her destination.
The stars looked down upon q little OBJ
ject that glittered like silver in Viola'a
hand. 1t was revolver, and her fingers
held it firmly. Once or twice she glanced
at it as if to satisfy herself that it was
there. Then she looked up again with an
air of determination.
She was the belle OF the country she in
habited. Her father was dead, ana %lsh
her widowed mother and a little brother
OF twelve, she dwelt IN the humble house
won by the sweat of her fathers brow.
A railway station called Beaumont was
the only settlement paar, and it was SIX
miles from her home. She seldom went

THE FIRST STEP.-Christian parents
should read and anxiously ponder, the fol-
lowing testimony from one who has suf
fered. He gives the beginning of drum
kenness'' in himself, as follows:
"Tell me- said gentleman to poor
drunkard, when urging him to give up
the cup, ''where it was you took your
first steps IN this Incorporate course.''
Sat my fathers table," replied the un-
happy man. Before left home to be-
come a clerk, had learned to love the
drink that has ruined me. The first drop
/ ever tasted was handed me by my now
broken-hearted mother"

Kind Words Do Not Cost Much.

They never blister the tongue OF -.
And we have never heard Of any 7 sal
trouble arising from that quarter. 8
Though they do not cost much, they
accomplish much. s.
1. They help ones own good SIRE and
good will. Soft words soften = If own
soul. Angry words are fuel to the fame
Of wrath, and make it blaze more fercely.
2. Kind words make our people good
natured. Cold words freeze people, and
hot words scorch them, and hot irritate
them, and bitter words make them
wrathful.
There are such rush of all other kinds
Of words in our days, it seems desirable
to give kind words chance among them.
There are vain words. and silly words, and
hasty words, and empty words, and pro-
fame words, and boisterous words, and
warllke words.
Kind words also produce their own
image on mems souls. And beautiful
image it is. They soothe, and quiet, and
comfort the hearer. They shame him out
of his sour, morose, unkind feelings. We
have not yet begun to use kind words in
such abundance as they ought to be used.

MARRIED AND GONE.
By MARY WILKINSON.

MARRIED. AND GUNE. -'
By MARY WILKINSON. .t,-.-..
1ST. !.f- - 4
Married and gone, the maiden fair.
Gone from her fathers watchful care,
Gone from her mothers tender love,
That hung, like an Rgis, about her dove;
Gone from the home nest warm and true
Will she find it as true and as warm in the now?
All, the last gay peal Of the marriage bell
Sounds sad, almost like funeral knell,
A kiss and a tear; smile, and moan;
The pride of the household is married and gone.
Gone! gone where? All, who can tell,
From the half sad tone Of the joyous bell!
Gone to strange and untried life,
With the bridal wreath and the crown Of wife,
Are there thorns concealed in the orange flower.
That will pierce when urged by the new made
power?
Will the crown press hard on the temples fair,
And grief's pale sign streak her sunny hair?
A stranger sits on her " ung hearts throne,
She is wooed and won, and married and gone.
BIRD. -s,
When storm winds rock the sheltering bough,
Will the love-wreath fade above her brow? p
Or will her trust and love 60 strong,
When skies are dim and storms are long?
And will her song be sweeter still.
When suffering adds its quavering trill?
Mysterious future. Who can tell
From the dubious tones of the half sad bell.
If woe, or Joy has most in store
For her, who has launched with but loves oar
To pilot her over iife's treacherous sea?
Will it guide her always under the lee?"
The vows are spoken, the ring is on
The ring sweet token. She's married and gone.
