THE following incident occurred in the
presence of friend of ours while on a visit to
Gen Grant, early one morning last week: A
little fve-y ear-old boy came marching into the
room with a magnificent bouquet Of flowers.
The little fellow started in to make speech.
He said: General, [ have brought you this
nice bouquet here he broke down and
said he had forgotten what else his mother
had told him to say The General smiled and
took the boy up on his knee, thanked him for
the flowers, and said: "Never mind, little
man, you have now probably made better
speech than your mother cond. Wallet o

EVERY respectable voter in California de-
precates the position that Kearney has gained
in politics and his influence over turbulent
element which can be used for the worst ends.
Denis most bitter opponent is the Era,niner,
but that opposition has its foundation in the
knowledge that large proportion of the sand
lots party are Democrats, and that such de-
pletlon of lbs rank and file brings sure de-
feat. They'll gravitate back soon enough
but not before the people have discovered
the kind of material of which that party is
made up. We are ready to aid in breaking
up the hoodlum organization, and to send
the sand lot chickens home to roost in the
bosom of the Democratic party, but we are
at the same time sorry for the party It's
leaders may discover in time that the return.
ing predgals have become a disturbing ele
ment which no party can readily absorb,
without danger to its unity. While the
Workingmen can hardly hope for success as
party, and under such leader as kearney;
they are at least powerful enough to dictate
terms, and as they naturally belong to the
Democratic organization, we may see some
new planks ia the platform one of these days
The Paris Ftgoro, commenting on the re-
cent affair in San Francisco, says: the politi-
cal struggles had brought into antagonism

Young, editor of the Chronicle, who supported

UNCLE JOHN'S PELICAN DINNER We
were on the box with John as he steamed In
from Tuscarora. On the meadows below
Dunphy IL Hlldreths ranch, some pelicans
were feeding and floating clumsily around
which reminded Uncle John of a Christmas
dinner he had eaten some years ago. John
is slightly profane, and remarked that it was
the COLL darndest dinner (only he used
more giant powder adiectlves) that he ever
sat down to-. You see" said John, "Bll
| invited the boys to a wild goose dinner, and
! told us of couple of the biggest geese he
had ever seen, which he bought from an In
dian, and which he was going to have roasted
in style. We wus all set for that dinner
you bet your sweet life; an when we sat
down at that table in Bis cabin, We wur as
in December at late grub time Bills China
man produced them geese an Bill started in
to carve, but it was the toughest job any one
ever tackled We waited with our mouths
waterin' and told Bill to be patient mebbe
he hadn't struck the joints just right
"Joints, hell boys, [ can't get through its
ID hide p However, by perseverance Bill
got it dissected, an we tackled it, an
if you ever seed disguised set of boys,
you can Just bet your pile they were
in that ere cabin. It was the
- toughest job that ever l tackled, and
the taste of them geese reminded me of india
rubber washers fried in axle grease, an we
got up disguised an hungry lot. Bill
blamed it on his Chinarnan, but the Chinaman
come the innocent and said, Me no sahe
cook pelican pelican no good" mo. good,
hell p says Bill, there was no pelican in
that; it was goose" 'No goose, - said John,
"Indee man heap lie !; me sabe, you lookee, l
see Indee man cut him sack off, me showee
you" Bill went out into the brush with the
Chinaman, an there lay the heads an pouches
of two pelicans, which the id Piute had
chopped off, an Bill had paid dollar piece
for their carcasses, an We had pelican din
ner; fact by Cd. Bill never recovered
from that sell, an it would not be safe to ask
him about the habits of pelicans now, an
that was ten years ago.

London Editors.

Certain London editors do not seem
to fraternize with the utmost affection.
Thus the Whitehall Reuiew, uoon the
death of the Princess Alice, said in ra-
Their a stately way: cit is our mournful
duty to convey to the sorrowing queen
the respectful and sincere cordolence
of that section Of the community more
intimately connected with the court and
It's surroundings than any other por-
ton of her maj esty's subjects" Upon
this the London Wo,M newspaper, ris-
ing up savagely, says that the proprietor
of the Whitehall Review is an egg-mer-
chant, named Peacock, of the firm of
Merdin & Peacock, Wells street; that
the editor is an ex-reporter Of the Nor
ming Post, and was formerly the snb-
sub-editor of third-rate country news
paper. And he wants to know, does
this sub-acidulous critic, GLOW this
tradesman and his young man are
more intimately connected with the
court and its surroundings than any
other portion of her majesty's Subjects D
unless mark the fine irony 1.-THE one
purveys the butter for the royal house
hold, and the other the paper in which
the butter is wrapped p And SO, with a
whitening allusion to rampant Idiocy
and sickening funkeydom," he leaves
this pin sticking in the side of con.
temporary and brother!

The New Orleans Picay,taae in an ar
ticle pointing out the unsatisfactory
method of assessment in louisiana
says: "The whole state of Louisiana ap-
pears to own household goods, jewelry,
silver plate, mechanics tools, and other
such personal property, to the value OF
$1,71653O, Of which only $50, $40 worth
appears to be owned in the country
But what is still mere remarkable is
that only ten country parishes own any
of these articles, and forty-seven par
ishes are entirely destitute of them. 1t
appears further that while the city OF
New Orleans has rs per centum of the
population of the state, the assessments
of real estate for New Orleans are 81
per centum of the assessments of the
state. That is to say, New Orleans ap-
pears to be between TWO and three times
as rich as the rest Of the state, which
New Orleans people in general will be
rather slow to believe. The real estate
of New Orleans is valued at $1O4 ,0O0O00
and the real estate of the country par
isnes at $73, 100000, so that ali the land
IN the state of louisiana, with it's houses
fences, cotton-gins, sugar houses, steam
engines, ETC., is worth only three dollars
an acre, according to our official assess
ments.' ...5

How EsparterO Won a Peace.
London Times.

l have persued many an obituary no.
tlce on Marshal Espartero, but [ have
seen nowhere the real story of the great
achievement of his life, the pacifcation
of Bergara. The Carlist army had suf-
fered great losses, but could still have
held the field for some time; on the
other hand, the Liberal army, after
seven years campaigning, felt truly sick
of the business. Don Carlos had gone
to France for holiday; on each side
the leaders had a genuine desire to fol-
low his example. 1t was under these
circumstances that Esparterc had con-
ference with Maroto,, the CarIist general,
for the purpose Of negotiating truce.
they were old chums of the South
American wars, but since that time they
had exchanged only cannon-bails in ad-
dltlon to more than one fierce procla-
nation. When they met in lonely
farm one night, in the greatest secrecy,
1t was feared by many lest quarrel, or
even perhaps personal encounter,
might arise from the occasion. Both
entered lower room, in which a table
had been disposed with candles, paper,
pens and ink, and then were left alone.
For more than five hours they were
closeted. What were they doing all
| this time? Simply this. On seeing Els
partero, whom he knew well for the
greatest gambler that ever lived, Maroto
had taken out his pocket a pack of
cards and challenged his foe at tresilo.
Espartero had always been lucky. He
won first all the cash Of his opponent,
| then he won his own terms for the
truce, then, article after article, he won
the entire submission of the Carlist
army, Maroto paid his debt, like gen.
tleman, within tWenty-four hours, and
so ended the first Carlist war.

port OF paupers or the punishment OF
crime. Apply to the county auditor,
and the answer will come quickly back
comparatively nothing. 1T is safe to
say that the $500 saloons in the city do
net pay IN the aggregate $4,000 per an
mum In the shape of municipal taxes.
Most Of them will not be found on the
tax duplicate at ALL All industries are
taxed except this class. The man who
drives dray or hack, the peddler who
sells his ware, the huckster who stands
IN market, are all taxed, but the saloon
keepers, In the aggregate, are compare
lively exempt from the tax burden.
This, 1t is to be said, is not the fault of
saloon-keepers, but Of those people
who would outlaw that class. They
have been outlawed, so far as exempt
ing them from taxation is concerned
but IN other respects they are as free as
those engaged in other branches Of bus
mess that are taxed. The figures we
have given prove this much, among
many other things. The constitution
says the legislature shall not license the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. but it may
provide against the evils resulting from
the traffic. Well, it has not licensed,
and in spite of all the feeble. efforts, in
Guiding law and moral suasion, we
have within circuit of three miles, the
courthouse being the centre, saloons
enough; ifplaced III line, to reach six
miles, giving to each house only ten
feet of ground. There is, besides po-
lltlcal power that can rule, and virtual.
ly does rule, the city government. 1t
is power. too, not counting the man
ufacturing interests behind it and in
sympathy with it, that command re.
tail business of SO 100000 year. It is
power, too, that is led to disrespect law,
because it is outside law. and always
liable to suffer if it permits it's influence
over the civil authorities to slip from its
hands. AS a consequence, there is
hardly ward in the city in which sa-
loon-keeper, who sells liquors contrary
to law and is not taxed at all, could not
defeat the largest taxpayer for NUM-
cipal office. .-
