first paragraph that caught my eye:
'SU1cIDE AT SAUCEL1To. Yesterday
afternoon the body of NJ. P. NJ. Dodge
was found in the woods at Saucelito. He
had shot himself through the brain, and
the pistol with which he committed the
act was still firmly clutched in his hand.
Disappointment in business has been as
signed as the motive for the deed. The
deceased has been only six months on this

pocket led to his Identification. They
bore his name as the special travelling
agent of the Purely Philanthrop1c Life
Insurance Association. The company

fearless operator There was no insurance

great load off my mind. I had slain a

homicide. after all. No jury would find

The Hero's Grave.
BY ST. GEORGE BEST.


Where yonder mountain lifts it's sunny head
Mld natures lovliest Wilds, the traveller
Ihe .unpretending grave of one who led
His people on to victory and peace.
No sounds unholy mar his peaceful sleep
Near Where yon foaming river rolls his
wave:
All nature breathes. or seems to breathe. a
And settled calm around his i wed
grave.
re need not marble bust nor storied urn
10 keep his memory of his deeds in mind;
In every loyal breast, where're We turn,
hitting tribute to his worth We find.
In times that tried the very soul, he made
"A record centuries cannot etface,
And more through love than fear or favor
sWayed
The rude but honest fathers of his race.
The storms of winter howl less fiercely round
The humble doom that guards his sacred
mold
With greener verdure summer decks the
ground,
Their rarest tints the autumn months un-
fold.
When spring returns to cheer the frozen
earth,
She breathes her hottest bepediction here,
And conscious OF tie spot, she checks her
mirth,
And dews the soil with many a precious
tear.
He sleeps in peace, beloved of all who claim,
By birth or blood, his country as their own:
Thee is not on the page of Time name
That hath anobler sound, a richer tone.

The Depth Of Depravity.

A Western paper tells of new and
dreadfully mean swirdle 4 stranger
calls at grocery and calls for two quarts
OF molasses. The grocer draws the arti-
Gle and asks it the stranger has Jug to
put it N. "No," says the stranger, ''but
you can put it in my hat The grocer
smiles broad smile, questions to himself
whether the stranger IS a fool or a great
American humOrist, and disposes OF the
moasses as requested, laughing half to
death as he completes the job, and think
ing what rare good story he will be
able to tell the boys Who gather around
his stove during the long evenings to
discuss politics and chew tobacco. Sud-
denly he starts, however. and with most
excellent reason. The disgusting strang-
er has clapped the hat on the grocer's
head and firmly drawn it down, the mo-
lasses and all, over his ears. It takes
him five minutes to partially recover
from his establishment. the molasses and
the hat, and when he has sufficiently re-
moved sweetness, and tears from his eyes
to look around the deceiving person has
gone, taking with him the contents of
his money drawer and such other arti-
cIes as. happen to be portable. The
mind which could invent such an out
rage is lost; the man who could transact

we have not that respect for coniding
grocer which induces awe, we do look
upon him as respectable fellow citizen.
entitled to all the immunities; and to
think of the feelings of that person as
enoeavors to tear off the hat and the
accompanying molasses--of his sudden
repulsion from good nature to astonish-
ment, and then to the extreme OF most
1mpotent anger and indignation-is to
contemplate a depth ofanguish not here
totore reached by any sympathy in the
world. We remembered the melancholy
spectacle, a good many years ago, of a
pollce justice Of great enterprise and
dignity sallying out to do little arrest
Ing on his own hook. He arrested two
unpleasant men for being disocderlv,
ana started with them for his office, cne
on either side. Suddenly one of those
young men jumped high and brought
his list down on the high hat OF the goo
old public functionary, and in q momep-
the rim of that hat was resting peace
fully on his shoulders, the crown thereof
covering his countenance, and fitting as
firmly and closely as if it had been so
much uncompromising stovepipe The
wicked young man ran away, taking g
mean advantage Of the frantic efforts of
his honor to release himself: The look OF
pain, Of wounded dignity, of extreme as
tonlshment, OF mingled horror, and anger
and humiliation that rested on the face
OF that police justice when he had finally
got out OF the hat can never be forgotten.
VI the many who saw it there is not one
who Will not take it with MIN to his
lonely grave. But what was this outrage
in comparison with the molasses atrocity?
What had this honored gentleman to
complain of when one considers the con-
hdlng grocer and the wholly misplaced
sweetness that agitated bis hair! We can
not do justice to this subject. It is more
complex and hopeless to the humanitar-
ian than the Bulgarian fendishness.-

To give you the names of the humble pair
Who have passed through the courts OF

But the cot on the lot on the top of the hill,
Near the spot where just have cried
lis the lot where the old folks toiled and lived,
And the cot where the old folds died,
Is dearer far to my weary hea It

For that was the cot on the lot on the hill,

The Union Square Theater Company of
New York appeared last night for the first
time this week at Pixies Opera-house in
Mother and Son." among the best of
Sardou's plays. The principal interest, as
he title indicates, centers in the char
acters of the Mother" and "Son." The
plot is this: The mother, the Baroness
lie ST. Andre, who is a widow, had
had husband who kept mistress
She had also noble son, who having dis
covered this, sacrificed himself to save his
mot her. On his wedding eve, when it be-
came necessary either to expose his father S
fault or to assume the guilt himself, he
chooses the latter course. At lass the real
ruth is discovered and the mother finds
solace for her husbands disgrace in her
sons love. Upon this the rtain drops.
The play is well acted. Mr.. George Clarke
sustained the part of "Fabrice," the son.
Mr.. Clarke met with a mishap in the eli
max of his efforts last night. He had but
few lines yet to speak, when lie was sud
denly seized with some hing like paralysis
| nearly rendering him speechless. Blood
gushed from his nose, but he soon recovered
and finished his part without difficulty. A
great part of the play devolves on Miss
| Fanny Morant. the mother. She plays it
with dignity and strength.
"Mother and Son" will be repeated every
evening this week.
