PERFECTLY PREPARED.
There was once perfectly modern girl,
With perfectly modern ways,
Who saw perfection In everything
That happened TO meet her gaze

There was once a perfectly modern GIRL
With perfectly modern ways,
Who saw perfection in everything
That happened to meet her gaze.
Such perfectly lovely things she saw,
And perfectly awful too,
That none would have dared TO doubt her word
So perfectly, perfectly true.
The weather, she said, in summer time,
Was perfectly, awfuy warm;
The winter was perfect, too, when there came
Some perfectly terrible storm
She west TO perfectly horrid school,
In a perfectly horrid town;
And the perfectly hateful teachers there
Did things up perfectly brown
Her lessons were perfectly, fearfully long,
But never were perfectly SAID,
And when she failed, as often she did,
Her face grew perfectly red
The church she attended is perfectly mag
With perfectly heavenly spre;
And perfect crowds 90 there TO hear
perfectly stunning choir.
The latest style is perfectly sweet
The last the serfcctest out;
The books she reads are perfectly good
Dust here we raise doubt)
A ride she took was perfectly grand,
On a perfectly gorgeous day,
With perfectly nobby friend OF hers,
Who happened to pass that way.
The perfectly elegant falls she'd seen,
When on her way to the lake,
And the graphic description she gave us all
Was simply modern mistake.
The perfectly splendid form dashed up,
In perfectly killing style;
And the perfectly terrible waves came down
In perfectly lovely pile.

For wonder, and for the first
time in years, Senator Sharon, OF
Nevada, has gone on to Washing
ton to take his seat in the Senate.
This exemplary conduct is doubt
less referable to the fact that Shar-
on is q candidate to succeed him.
self. He is emphatically on bis
good behavior. 1t is to be hoped
that the Democratic Secretary of
the Senate, who has announced it
to be his purpose to decline to pay
Sharon either salary or mileage for
the period during which he has
been absent from his seat, will
stick to his determination. It is
simply outrageous that a man who
is notoriously o citizen of San
Francisco should be elected United
States Senator from Nevada, and
the infamy is intensified when, for
years at stretch, he never once
presents himself at the scene of his
supposed labors. The thing calls
for reform in both aspects.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-11-27

THERE is no doubt of the fact
THAT in San Francisco a very ener-
|getic movement for the annexa-
tion of Mexico to the United
Estates has its headquarters. 1t is
fostered by capitalists in the East
fern States, and it is said to have a
very strong support in certain dis
affected provinces of Mexico, or at
least amongst the disaffected pub
lie men of those States. 1t is long
|fime since the restless elements of
the United States have had any oc'
|cupation for their military and ac-
{quisitive impulses. In the days
when the Democratic party swayed
the country almost despotically its
|pewer was largely founded upon
The fact that it was continually
/ adding to the national territory
and doing it at any hazard-peace-
fully If it could, forcibly if it must.
This policy guaranteed to the De-
mocracy the allegiance of the
large class who do not theorize
much about right or wrong, but
who are content with the loaves
and fishes of this life. All projects
OF the acquisition of new territory
were always fought by New Eng.
land. AS section the six staunch
little New England Common
wealths have ruled the United
States for the past seventeen OF
eighteen years. All the indications
point to the transfer of this power
to the great west, northwest and
southwest. These people them
selves inhabit territory which was
either acquired by purchase or con
quered, and they naturally sympa
thize with the policy which ha
made them what they are. Con
sequert!y, we should not be great
iy surprised If the advocates of al
extension of the stars and stripes t.
the southwark should make them
selves felt in the next eighteel
months. That diligent and stronI
efforts are being made to secur
such result there can be no doubt
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-11-27

THE New York Sun justly re-

ments of this fortunate soldier;
and, at the same time, thrown into
obscurlty his faults as civil mag

happen to Grant would be to be re-
lieved from the opportunities of
ill-advised friends who would like
to force him into a position in
which he would be surrounded by

made his eight years. residence in

DUBLIN, Nov. 26th.-A govern
ment engineer has surveyed the
districts bordering on the Shannon
river, with view to the encourage
ment by the government of a
scheme for the drainage, which is
to cost 100000. The prospect of
employment for laborers in these
districts is regarded with great sat
isfaction.
LONDON, Nov. 26th.-A dispatch
from Dublin to the Times says:
| While Irish agitators tell the pub
lie they are engaged in legal and
constitutional agitation, and osten-
sibly advise people to keep within
the law, this country abounds with
evidences that u different interpre-
| tation has been put upon their
language. Threatening notes and
acts of violence are practical COM
ments upon their words. There are
evil omens for the winter which
are beginning to be felt. A cores
| pondent of the Times calls atten-
tion to the brisk trade doing at an
Irish Fair in old government ri
fles. One hundred and twenty ri
fies were sold in the district of
Dungannon in one week at about
seven shillings EACH.
The Arrested Agitntsss.
SLIGO, November 26th.-Davitt,
DAILY and Killan, arrested last week
and lodged in Jail here, were
charged before the Magistrates
with sedition. Monroe, the Queens
Counsel and Crown Law Adviser,
conducted the prosecution. The
inquiry will be very protracted.
Parnell and a number Of priests
were in court. There was no DEM
onstration. The prisoners were
brought to court under heavy es-
cort. There is a great crowd in
Sligo. Extra policemen have been
drafted
Monroe, in opening the case for
the prosecution, pointed out that
sedition meant not only open vio-
lence, but anything calculated to
inoite disaffection or set one class
against another. He then proceed
ed to call evidence. Rsa, Solicitor
of Belfast, and himself at one
time political prisoner, defended
Killan. The prisoners all looked
well and chatted unconcernedly.
The court room was crowded, al
though tickets were necessary to
secure admission. The London
counsellor for Daily applied for q
copy of the notes which the gov
ernment shorthand writer had
taken at the meeting. The appli-
cation was granted.
