PUBLIC OPINION,
As Shown by the Press Of the Pa
ciGc Coast.
ONLY THE MULES SAD

ONLY THE MULES SAD.
From the San Francisco Daily Exchange.
Everybody around Sutro feels cheerful.
The mules alone are sad. They have all
been up to the blacksmith's shop and shod.
They recognize the fact that this means
business; but each consoles himself with
the thought that he may be the particular
mule destined to avenge the wrongs Of the
race by kicking the great tunneler over
Mount Rose, when he goes up to sec the
the melancholy animals put to work again.
a PROPER sTEP TAKEN.
From the Virginia Chronicle.
We observe with satisfaction that the
Police commissioners last evening held a
special meeting for the purpose of consid-
ering the best means of breaking up the
opium dens with which Chinatown is
dotted. This il a proper step and indi-
Gates that the Commissioners are alive to
their duty. They should see that the Off
GERS lose no time in doing their share OF
the work. We would also suggest that
when a conviction is secured, the Justices
of the Peace should inflict the highest
penalty permitted by law.
POOR PLACE FoR coLoRED MEN,.
From the Reno Gazette.
The exodus of blacks from Louisiana
and Mississippi continues. and the emf
grafton excitement seems to be increasing.
Any one familiar with the plantation negro
can not fail to foresee u vast amount Of
suffering for these people. The West is a
splendid field for energetic, intelligent
men, but the INDECENT, ignorant colored
man, bred to the habits of shiftlessness
and waste OF the plantation, no more un-
suitable country exists. Whatever their
trials were in Louisiana, they could better
have borne them than become pioneers in a
new country.
THE NOMINEES FOR 1880.
From the Gold Hill News.
Whatever may he tie results Of the NOM
~ination, it looks to-day as if Tilden and
and Grant would be the nominees.

to escape, and would probably have sue
ceeded had there been any need OF es-
cape. Max had managed to be alone long
enough to put ON the clothes prepared
for the occasion, then had boldly turned
a wagon and wheeled 1t toward the gate.
Nobody had missed him when Lutte
took him to the guard room, and with
radiant face presented him to the aston
ished officials. Waving ordinary rules,
the warden did not allow Max to go
Into his cell, but invited him to become
his guest till he could be legally dismiss
ed. Then Lutte carried him off in tri-
umph to his impatient grandfather.
At first Max thought that he could
never live in his native town again, but
the congratulations that poured in day
after day from friends and strangers
helped to wipe out the bitterness. His
grandfather's sorrow and humility and
weakness softened him; and, besides,
could he ever refuse anything to
Lutep She wanted him to stay, and he
staid.
There was grand wedding to please
the old man, though they would have
preferred 1t otherwise. Lutte rustled up
the church aisle in silk and laces, sur
rounded by troop of lovely girls, and
leaning on the arm of her uncle, who
was her nearest relative, and who gave
her away. Max stood ut the altar wait
ing for her, and in his erect, proud form
and flashing eye there was no sign of
the convict, though his cheek was yet
pallid, and his face closely shaven. The
church was full. all eager for q glimpse
of The bride, but the person most inter
ested in them did not see at all, though
he sat in the very front seat. Mr.. Hunt
sat and wept without ceasing all through
the ceremony, and could scarce force a
smile when Max came and presented
his bride to him. When they both call
ed him father, he broke out again.
They live there together, the old man
sinking into his second childhood, but
watched over and attended with cease
less vigilance and.affeclion; Lutte trying
to realize her happiness, which she
hasn't been able to do yet, and Max be-
ginning to think that his hard discipline
did him, perhaps, more good than harm.
After the first flush ofanger, they hearth
ly forgave the author of their misfOr-
tunes, and in all the land there is no
hopper household than that of him
who was once Max the convict.

A ReyaI Detective.

ID EVILLAGIGEDO was the very
In hard name of very good viceroy
of Mexico during the Spanish rule, who
displayed as much shrewdness in dis
covering crimes as justice in dealing
with them. Altogether he was sort
of christian Haroun AL Rasehid, who
took much pride in being a good ruler.
On one occasion noble young lady bor-
rowed thousand dollars from her rich
uncle and gave him case of valuable
jewels as security, which this amateur
pawnbroker, like wicked uncle, swore
he never had seen, when at the end of
the allotted time she brought him back
the money and asked for the Jewels
The young lady Immediately went to
the viceroy and made as long story of
it as young lady would be expected to
do. Revillagigedo rebuked her severely
for making such bargain without wit
nesses.
But he was my uncle"
Uncle be id" said Revillagigedo,
with several cardjos and caramb0s, in
pure Castillian don't you know,
Senorita, that an uncle will steal Just as
well as any other man, and that niece
cannot be as dear as diamond ?''
No. says the young lady beginning
to cry in the usual way.
"Does he smoke 7" asked the viceroy
in a consoling tone.
"No," said the Senorita, drying her
eyes ; "but he takes snuff"
That's just as bad. Tell him to come
here. No, on second thoughts, don't.
I'll send for the rascal, and you wait in
the next room till L get the jewels"
Saying which he pushed the young la
dy in one door, and sent soldier
through another after the wicked uncle,
who presently arrived, and was de-
lighted to hear from the viceroy that he
was to be consulted on matters of
State.
But" says Revillagigedo, feeling in
his pockets" I've forgotten my snuff.
box, and can never start on politics
except with sneeze."
" Your excellency, do me the great
honor to take snuff from mine" said
the uncle, bowling low and passing his
own snuff.box.
The viceroy took it in his hand, and
had just begun to sneeze, when it sud
denly seemed to occur to him that he
had left his handkerchief in the next
room. So he excused himself and went
out with the snuff.box, and, giving it to
an officer, told him to take it to the un-
cle's wife, and tell her from her hus-
band by that token to send him case
of jewels he had recently gotten. Sure
enough, in half an hour the officer
brought case of jewels, which the
Senorita gazed on with such rapture and
described with such particularly that
Revillagigedo knew them to be hers.
So he fined the wicked uncle thou
sand dollars for stealing and another
thousand for being found out, and sent
the young lady home SO happy that she
Immediately married and named son
Revillagigedo, which causes the difficult
name to be still preserved In commemo-
ration of the good viceroy aud also the
moral, which is-not to lend except on
business principles.
