SENATOR CHANDLERs LAST SPEECH
In the speech that Senator Chandler
made at Chicago the night before his
death he made the following suggestive
comparison:
Senator Ben Hill, Of Georgia, has said
that he was an ambassador from the SOW
ereign State Of Georgia to the Senate of
he United States. Suppose Ben Hill
should be caught in Africa or India or
some ofthose Eastern nations, and should
get into little difficulty, do you think he
would raise the flag of Georgia over his,
head ['aughterl and say: "That will
protect me-" [renewed laughter and APP
plause.
My fellow citizens, you may take the
biggest ship that sails the ocean, put on
board Of her the Gags of all the States
that were lately in the rebellion against
this government; raise TO her peaks the
stars and bars of the rebellion, start her
with all her bunting TO the breeze, sail
her around the world, and you would not
get salute of one pop-gun from any fort
on Garth. Loud and continued laughter
and applause
Take the smallest ship that sails the
ocean, mark her "U. 80 United States
of tAmerica-raise to her peaks the stars
and stripes, and sail her around the world
and:there is not a ship of any nation
en- Gods foot stool that would not receive
her with national salute. [Cbeers.l

No SABBATH IN AUSTRIA. An Amor
lean traveller abroad writes Whatever
else Vienna may have, she certainly has
no Sabbath. Unless the traveller keeps
close watch of the lapse of time, he will
forget the recurrence of Sunday, for there
Is nothing here-as in most other CONT
mental cities-to remind him when the
Lords day is come. We have been in
Vienna two Sabbaths, and outside of our
own party and n few American and Eng
iish travellers, We have not heard any sug-
gesiion Q. the day. Traffic, work, amuse,
ments, and worldly occupations have gone
on just the same on the seventh day as on
the sixth day. Indeed, the theaters and
the dance-houses do better business than
on any other day. The Catholic churches
tfor fnearly every ybody here is Roman
Csfhelie) have services on the Sabbath,
and small audiences gather, but the noise
of business outside browns the voice Of
prayer.

JOURNALISTIC CIYILITIEs.-Ther are
a number of our young Indies in Suisun
who are dying to see and know the new
man on the Vallejo Chronicle, who is al BILE
to write such soft things-just the ideal
editorials for the tender maiden. We
would warn our young ladies that they
will be sorely disappointed when they see
the aforesaid editor. lie is long, lean end
cadaverous, vinegar vsaged, and cranky
in joint and disposition. He has a whee-
~ voice, is squint-eyed, and is deaf in
one ear. He wears wig and masticates
with borrowed molars. There is some
thing about his manner that may be win
ming, Notwithstanding nature has done
but little for him physically but look
out the fellow may have wife and seven
children pushing him TO his utmost for
unbuttered bread. Don't trust to APP
pearances as displayed by his scintillating
wit.-So!dna Republican.
Now, perhaps the 1y-blown wallapus
OF the Republican thinks we are going ia
get mad. He's mistaken. But we'd like
to kick him, nevertheless and we would
too, but for fear his brain might concush
III the operation. Wonder if the Suisun
ladies know him +? For fear they don It,
let us photograph :he iguana. To begin
he has sweet, sweet smile, just about
four inches and a half in length but
don't trust him he's an atrocious, intern
al feRd fase>tongued midnight mon
ster a red handed assassin, he, school,
marm, a fraud, a sphynx, a blue bellied
wizen-faced nincompoop-a pea green
demon of the steaming pit, with cotton
wood tail, eyes IN his sides, and cork
neck, studded with door-k knobs. To sum
up, he's n frowsy- headed weaking-an
inclyodorulite-a hammocysus-a Sui
sunite There, ladies, you see the differ,
ence between us-take your choice

SHARP PRAcTIcE.--The Truckee Re
publican tells the following sell on
Sam Branran In the palmy days Of
Sam Brannan, one of Joe Potter's pals at
an agreed moment made furious and
rufiany assault upon the capitalist
Potter, elegantly dressed, was standing
close by, and gallantly rushed to the res
cue, drew revolver, fred at the assail-
ant, and succeeded in putting him to g-
nominious fight. Brannan having been
slightly acquainted with Potter before
the adventure was ever afterward firm
friend. He supposed that Potter had
saved his life or had at least protected
him from robbery and great bodily harm.
The various sums which in gratitude
were subsequently given and loaned to
Potter by the millionaire, were given
with perfect willingness, and Brannan is
doubtless ignorant to this day Of the fact
that these sums were all divided with the
pal who made the assault.

THE Chinese continue TO pour into the
Hawaiian Islands in such numbers that
the question of how to stop them is grow
ing to be of serious importance. They
constitute already over a fifth of the en-
tire population, and are almost all males.
They are useful on the sugar plantations,
but they do not assimi,ate with the native
population, whose extinction they threat
en- at an early day, and whom they will
hardly replace satisfactorily as loyal sub
jects and citizens. The Government is
trying TO get the needed labor supplies
from the South Sea Islands, but the
owners Of the Hawaiian sugar estates,
who care only for their own business in
forests, are pereiectly willing to take the
cheaper Chinese. Over 1000 Cinnamon
arrived at Honolulu in the second half of
last year, which, considering the scanty
population Of the islands, is pretty heavy
imm igration.

A WONDERFUL MIRRoR.-Among the
curiosities exhibited in the Paris Exhi-
btion, was huge concave mirror, the
instrument Of a startling species of optl.
cal magic. On standing close 70 it, it
presents nothing but a magnifcently
Inonstrous dissection Of your physIogno-
my. On retiring couple of feet, it gives
your own face and figure in true proper
tion, but reversed, the head downward 1.
But retire still further, standing at the
distance OF five or six feet from the mir
ror, and behold, you see yourself not q
rs1ection--but your veritable self stand
ing in be middle part between you and
the mirror. The effect is almost appal-
ling, from the fact, that men of the
strongest nerves will shrink involuntari-
ly at the first view. Ifyou raise your
cane 10 thrust at your other self you win
see it pass clean through the body and
appear on the other side. the figure thrust
ing at you at the same instant. The art.
ist who first succeeded in fashioning a
mirror of this description, brought it to
one'of the French Kings-if we recollect
Alright, it was Louis XV.-placed his
majesty on the right spot, and bade him
draw his sword, and babe him thrust at
the figure he saw. The king did SO but
seeing the point of the sword directed to
his own breast. he threw down bis weap-
on and ran away. The practical joke
cost the inventor the kings patronage
and favor his master being afterwards
90 ashamed of his own cowardice tnat he
never again would look at either tie mir
ror or its owner.
