ASSASSINATION or KMLOcH.

The shooting of Rev. I. S. Kalloch in San
Francisco by Charles DeYoung has caused the
greatest excitement to prevail in that city.
Rev. 1. S. Kalloch, who was nominated by the
Workingmen their candidate for Mayor, for
some time past has been repeatedly attacked
by the DeYoung brothers in the Chronicle, an
organ representing the party in that
State known as the Honorable Bilks.
The latest attack Killoch made by the
Chronicle reflected on the character of Kalloch's
father, who has been dead eight years. Kali
loch notified the De Youngs that if they did not
cease their attacks he should feel compelled to
read in public extracts from an article in a
paper called the San published several years
ago derogatory to tho character of their mother.
This did not have the desired effect, as the
Chronicle continued its merciless attacks.
Kalloch then gave out that he would read the
article at his next speech. Charles De oun g
sent him word that should he read the article,
he would shoot him On sight. At the meeting
the article was not read, but its contents were
stated and commented upon by Kalloch, who
took occasion to refer to the De Young brothers
as % bastards, the sons of W, reared and
nursed in the lap of prostitute y
Young drove up to the Metropolitan
Hotel in close carriage, and sending word in
to kallock to the effect that ." a lady wished to

approached the carriage, DeYoung shot him
twice. Before he had time to get away
his carriage was overturned and he
was terribly beaten by the infuriated
mob. He finally escaped however and

| his life. The widest excitement prevailed
among the Workingmen, and it was with grea
difficulty that they were ceunseed to modera.

The sooner the youth of this country
are compelled by the score and tendency
of our public school system to recognize
that only one boy in a hundred can be
a lawyer, doctor, or clergyman, the bet
ter it will be for the American people.
To that end it is essential that our
methods of training shall cease to foster
the silly and abortive preference for
gentlemanly pursuits-shall squarely
face the fact that manual labor is the
sphere in which the great majority Of
the human race are destined to move,
and that il is mechanical skill and gen
ius which have transformed the world
and which should command the highest
prizes in the race of life.

Sullivan's Cannon.
Iseneca County On. Il News. ]

Something has been discovered in the
mud, halfway between Waterloo and
Geneva, that resembles q mounted can
non. Some one who drove down to it
came up and reported there was a wheel
on it with broad tire. On sounding
with an iron rod, some hard metallic
substance was struck, which some of the
more sanguine ones believe to be Sulli-
vans lost cannon. The bottom of the
canal at this p pint is the bed of the old
Seneca River that flowed nndisturbed
one hundred years ago. In fact, the
canal there is simply the river cleared
out With tow path built on the side.
All sorts of conjectures are made re-
garding this discovery, but a. yet no in.
telligent opinion can be formed until
the thing is dug out and examined.
