Meditation.
She was alone. and the last light tread
Aud laugh had died upon her ear;
She looked as III all friends had fed,
And none again would e'er draw near.
The clouds had gathered thick and fast,
Alone, she watched the paitering rain;
Then came the memory Of the past,
And bound her with his iron chain.
chained her in his gloomy cell,
In that dungeon dark and drcar;
And all might guess her feelings well,
When she chased away the starting tear
10 me she wore the hue OF that hour,
While pondering DER a gale long fed:
For when she thought ofits magic power
she was as mute as the silent dead.
When she thought Of clouds that DER hcl
past,
Those clouds that darken pleasure.
noon;
She felt that soon some whitening blast,
"ouiu all her JOY and hope consume.
On earth she has a stranger grown,
She bears alone her load Of care;
For silent low in lands unknown,
Lie all that could her sorrow share.
Still DER those days her memory wakes.
And foniIy broods with miser care;
Time but the impression stronger makes.
As streams their channels deeper wear
10 deck your past in robes OF green.
And sfrew your future life with flowers .
That liie's thorny path may lie unseen,

Labor Strike on Mob Hill. :
FITCH AND TYLER FINED
Mining Litigation mt Rode.

SAN Francisco, April 2.
All is quiet on Mob Hill this afternoon.
The laborers have been standing rouud
on the pretense of waiting for their pay.
No work is going on. 1t appears that the
strikers have been paid monthly, getting
their money on the 5th, and more lately
on the 10th Of the month, for work of the
previous month. They o demand half
a dollar in advance, and bi-weekly pay
ments, and say they will allow no one to
go to work at old rates. The contractor
announces his intention of putting on
men at old rates, and thinks he can get
plenty, as there are a number Of idle men in
town. Over one hundred men were dis
charged yesterday from the Sutter-street
Railroad, where they got only a dollar and
q quarter per day. No serious disturb
ance has occurred. The reports of strik-
ers stoning workmen prove to have been
exaggerated. A squad of police has been
on duty all day.
In the City Criminal Court, to-day, Tom
Fitch and G. w. Tyler, who INDUCED in q
fight in the courtroom q, few days age,
were fined $3.50 each.
The Belvidere Mining Company has
filed suits in the Twelfth District Court
against the Riqueza, South Standard and
Rustler Mining Companies, to quiet title
to certain mining lands in Bodie District.
Jas. Strain, of Ireland, aged twenty
seven years, died this morning from the
effects Of q pistol shot fired by his own
hand, accidentally, while intoxicated and
scuff1ing with a friend yesterday.

PUBLIC OPINION,
As Shown by the Press of the Pa.
ci6c Coast.
RADICALLY

RADICALLY UNSoUND.
From the Sacramento Record Union.
The new Constitution is not of the kind
that can be licked into shape by the aid of
q few amendments. 1t is radically and
hopelessly unsound throughout. 1t does
not contain a single satisfactory article,
and scarcely a satisfactory section, save
where it has been taken bodily from the
present Constitution.
Z CHINAMEN ARE BENEFITED.
From the Austin Reveille.
There are 17S prisoners in the Nevada
State Prison, OF which number 25 are
Cinnamon. If the Chinese don't contrib
ute much to the State Treasury, they get
the benefit of a good share Of other peoples
contributions.
CONCEALED WEAPONS.
From the Gold Hill News.
The knowledge that even the q~uietest
citizen has probably the means of defense
on his person, makes many a bully and
blackguard keep a civil tongue in his head
and his fists to himself.
Eureka daily sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1871-1887, 1879-04-03

The French Assembly has got up another
excitement about q measure which vir-
tually proposes to suppress the Jesuit col
leges by declaring them and other unrecog-
nized religious orders illegal. This is a
bold step, but it is by no means strange or
new in France. To all classes Of French
Liberals the religious orders are obnox-
ious. 1t is not a recent development OF
radical Republicanism. having flourished
under both empires and both the Bourbon
dynasties. Modern Instrumentation has
rendered all the religious orders dangerous
to the Republic.
