date for Mayor, Shot Down by Charles De
Young of the Daily Chronicle.
SAN FRANCISCO, CAL, Aug. 23.-
This city was thrown into intense excitement
this morning by the shooting Of the Rev. L.
S, KaIloch, the Workingmen's candidate
for Mayor. nv ;Tharles De Young, one Of the
nronrietors of the Chronicle newspaper. The
difficnltv which led to the shooting originat-
ed in the repeated and bitter assaults of the
Chronicle on the character Of kalloch, and
in slanderOus illusions to his deceased IA
ther, TO which Kalloch replied in a speech.
For several DAYS past the newspaper OF the
De Young brothers has been filled with the
alleged details Of Kalloch's career, COM
mencing when he was lad of u years of age,
and bringing the history of his life down to
the present time. To these attacks KallOch
replied in kind at mass-mecting of the
Workingmen held last night, making
the most outrageous allegations against
the character of the De YOungs and their
mother. Having heard what had been said
about them, Ch1rles De Young drove in a
coupe to the side entrance of Metropolitan
Temple this morning, and sent District
Telegraph messenger to tell kallOch that
some one wished to see him. kallOch imme-
diately made his appearance, in obedience
to the summons, entirely unarmed and UNI
prepared for an attack, when De Young fired
a revolver at him twice, shooting him once
in the breast and once i'll the thigh. produce

wounds The discharge Of the pistol brought

ing the tragedy published the following:
To our political friends: For the information
Of the New Constitutional party in the inte-
rior, where the affair between |. :. kalloch and
one of the proprietOrs of this paper may he
altogether misunderstood, we say that the oc-
currehce was entirely "a personal matter,
which in no sense whatever affects or con-
Germs the political principles of the Chronicle
or the party which it supports We put it TO
any brave aud honorable man III this COM
munty, who has Il mother or the memory OF
one, and who loves, respects, and reNereS her,
if such language as that used by hallOch IN
the hearing of thousands does not chal-
lenge and provoke personal chastisement
to the death. Ii would be infinitely
worse than death to bear such AN insult put
upon ones mother, and no man has right to
give it without being prepared for the worst
of consequences. The man who would not
resent it is mcaner than Il dog, and the mode
of resentment in such cases is the same
throughout the civilized world. Let those
who have made haste to condemn Charles
DcYoung for shooting kaloch calmly reflect
upon all tlis-mentaliy put themselves in his
placc-and then say whether they desire
that a SANDER loving mob should be permit
ted to take this case out OF the hands OF the
law.

HOUSE, FARM AND GARDEN.
The Care Of Harness.

| The first point to observe is 10 keen
the leather soft and pliable; this can be
done only by keeping it well charged
With grease; water is a DESTROYER of these
but mud and saline moisture, are ever
more Obstructive. Mud in drying, alb.
serbs the grease and opens the pores OF
the leather, masking it ready prey to the
water, while the salty character of the
perspiration from the ANNA. injuries the
leather, stitching and mountings. II
| therefore follows that to preserve har
! ness, the straps should be washed and Oh.
ed whenever they have been moistened
by sweat or soiled by mud. To do this
effectually, the straps should be unbuck-
led and detached; then wash with little
water and brown soap, then coat with a
mixture of neatsfoot oil and allow it to
remain undisturbed until the water is
dried out; the rubbing Is important, as it,
in addition to removing the surplus oil
and grease, tends TO close tle pores and
gives finish to the leather In hanging
harness care should be taken to allow all
straps to hang their full length; brides
gig saddles and collars should be hung
upon forms of the shape of each. Light
Is essential to the care of leather, and
when the harness closet is dark the door
should be left open, at least half the time
during the day. All closets should be
ventilated, and when possible they should
be well lighted. To clean plated mould
ings use channels with little Tip oil
or rotten stone, but they should be scour
ed as little as possible. Rubber covered
goods are cieansed in the same way
Leather covered needs to be brushed
and rubbed with wooden rag. II a
harness is thoroughly cleaned twice a
year, and when duly treated as we have
recommended, the leather will retain its
softness and strength for many years.

points around this area toward the center.
Now, if the earth were flat and at rest,
and the air over this sandy area equally
heated, the wind would blow in straight
lin from the circumference toward the
center; ascend and spread out at the top
there would be no motion forward or
back ard of the whole body of air, and
this condition of things might exist for
ever. But, owing to the conigurahon
and motion of the earth, and the laas of
heat and its influence in evaporation nd
condensation, a change is soon impressed
on this initial upward and centric motion
of the air, and the collection of phenome-
ma which we term storm results.

A Strangers Nose.

Some of those chaps who wear their
elbows down thin leaning or saloon count
ers, have an artificial fly with fine
thread attached to the back, and some
times these toys can be handled to the
amusement of small crowd. When an
unknown man yesterday fell asleep in a
Michigan Avenue saloon, the young man
with an artificial fly was there. he took
position behind his victim, who was ~
ing back IN his chair, and presently the
fiv alighted on the stranger nose, walk
ed up the bridge and down, and settled
for moment on the tip end. The sleep
er never moved finger. The fly went
over the old route, dove into the corner Of
the left eye, galloped over to the right,
and came down to the grand stand on
e dead run, but the sleeper slept on. Ii
began to appear that he was used 10 flies,
and so the game was changed. By stick
ing pin through one OF these toys, you
can make quite bee OF it, the pin being
the singer.

About Storms.

Benjamin Franklin first made the OBJ
servation. a hundred years ago, that all
so-called northeast storms came from the
west. This observation Of our greatest
philosopher has been SINCE so absolutely
verified as to constitute law. All great
s.o1ms in this country move from the
west IN q general eastcrly dircction-usu-
ally little to the north of the east
Nearly all of them originated III that sec
ton of the country marked on the maps
as the Western plains high table

degrees on the east and the Rocky noun,

Treatment of Cuts.

In treating ordinary cuts, cleanliness
and care are generally more exquisite
than . i'll. If the cut be extensive, or
an artery, vein or any other important
part be injured, it becomes more ur-
gent matter. Accidental cuts from
knives, cutting tools, scythes, etc. are
more likely to occur on the face and
limbs than on the body. All that is re-
quisite, in general, is to bring the parts
| together as accurately as possible, and to
bind them up; this is usually done by
adhesive plaster, when the cut ceases to
bleed Nothing is so good for this pur-
pose as paper previously washed over on
one side with thick gum water, and then
dried, when used, it is only to be slight
IL wetted with the tongue. When the
cut bleeds but little, ii is as we'll to soak
| the part in warm water for few min
utes, or to keep wet cloth on it. This
removes Inflammation an pain, and also
a tendency to faintness which cut gives
some persons If the bleeding be toe
copi~ us, dab the part with rag wetted
with creosote. If the wound be large II
should be scwed up. If the blood tina;
issues be very scarlet, it may be conclud
ed that an artery has been touched, and
then, whenever the bleeding cannot be
stopped, medical aid must be procured
the best method to pursue is to bind W
the wound tightly, or to hold = tngei
| tightly against the part that bieeds.

Large Farming a precarlons business

The following figures are gwen by a
San Francisco correspondent Of Phila-
delphia paper, as evidence that farming
on gigantic scale is profitable neither to
the country nor the farmer. He says
The largest wfeat producer in California,
or in the world, is DR.. j. II. Glenn. He
was formerly from Monroe county,
Missouri. He is man of great enter
prise and energy. His rancho lies in
COlusa county, and comprises 10000
acres, nearly all arabic land. He has
this year $4,000 acres i'll wheat, which, al
low calculation, will produce 100000
bushels. His wheat will sell for 81
cents per bushel or $765,000. DIR. Glenn
has been farming ten years, and one
would suppose he ought to have hand
some sum TO his credit in bank: but what
with u failure of crops-which occurs
two years in every tive-and the enor-
nous interest he pays on his loans, he Is
said to owe a round million of dollars.
Last year his credit was bad, as he had
no crop. Now, with his splendid crop
in prospect, he will probably get out.
The Dalrimples of ST. Paul, who, ten
years ago, were the largest farmers OF
wheat IN Minnesota, raising as much as
10000 bushels in single year, went to
the wall. Another large wheat raiser is
ID. NJ. Reavis. whose land lies on the
borders of Colusa and Butte counties.
He is also from Monroe county, Missouri,
and has an unpretending little estate OF
$4,000 acres, $4,000 of which are in
wheat, which he thinks will average
this year thirty bushels, or 800, 900 bush
els. He is also hard pressed, and l am
told is paying nine per cent on couple
of hundred thousand dollars of borrowed
money. If farmers, raising half a mil
lion to million bushels OF wheat, can
not get out OF debt, it might be well to
inquire what is t use of having SO much
land2 The truth is that from the fire.

OVER THE BALUSTERs

Over the balusters bends face
Darlingly sweet and beguiling!
Somebody stands in careless grace,
And watches the picture smiling.
The light burns dim in the hall below;
Nobody sees her standing
Saying "Good -nightln again, soft and slow,
Halfway up to the landing
Nobody, only the eyes OF brown,
Tender and fun OF meaning,
That smile on the fairest face in town,
Over the balusters leaning.
Tired and sleepy, with dropping head,
wonder why she lingcrs
And when all the od-nightsm are said
Why, somebody holds her fingers
Holds her fingers and draws her down,
Suddenly growing holder,
Till her loose hair drops its masses brown,
Like a mantle, over his shoulder
Over the balusters soft hands fair
Brush his cheek like feather;
Bright brown tresses and dusAy hair
Meet and mingle together.
