The Kalloch. De Young Case

The San Francisco Post of the after
noon of April %, publishes the following card
from young Kalloch. "Editor Post: have not
a word to say about the facts or merits of my
case. wish it to be tried in the ordinary
way. Fair play, especially towards man
Charged with murder, is supposed to be a
characteristic of American communities, but l
expect no fair play on or before the trial if the
fast men and corrupt detectives who surround
the Chronicle office and assume to run this
city, can prevent it. 1t is Infamous that pub
lie officers who are paid by the community,
should work illegitimately for private
individuals and convert what ought to
be an honorable prosecution into maglignant
persecution. The article published in the
Chronicle of last Sunday shows how some of
our detectives invade private houses and try
to frighten ignorant people. As for the ar
rest of Clementshaw, have this to say: do
not know the man, and make no statement
as to my version as to what transpired. do
not say whether my statement was correct or
not. but do declare that he had no motive
80 far as can see, to conceal or prevent the
truth, and that there is nothing in his evidence
to indicate perjury. 1t looks to me as if his
arrest is intended by the Chronicle and the de-
tectives, to warn the citizens of San Francisco
that they must not testify to any facts that
would even tend toward my excu.pation.
Yours truly, j. NJ. KALLocH.

How "Tom Jones'" Was Sold.

We are told of Fielding's "Tom
Jones" that, when the work was com.
pleted, the author, being at the time
hard pressed for money, took it to a
second-rate publisher, with a view of
selling it for what it would fetch at the
moment. He left it with the bookseller,
and called upon him next day for his de-
cision. The publisher hesitated, aud re-
quested another day for consideration ;
and at parting Fielding offered him the
manuscript for EOS. On his way home
Fielding met Thomson, the poet, whom
he told of the negotiation for the sale
of the manuscript; when Thomson,
knowing the high merit of the work,
conjured him to be off the bargain, and
offered to find better purchaser. Next
morning Fielding fastened to his APP
pointment with as much apprehension
lest the bookseller should keep to his
bargain as he had felt the day before,
lest he should altogether decline it. To
the authors great joy, the ignorant
traficker in literature declined, and re-
turned the manuscript.
He next set off with Light heart to
his friend Thomson; and the novelist
and the poet then went to Andrew
Mllar, the great publisher of the day.
Millar, as was his practice with works Of
light reading, handed the manuscript to
his wife, who, having read it, advised
him by no means to let it slip through
his fingers. Aillar now invited the two
friends TO meet him at 3 coffee house in

A Rich Man on Riches.

The following story is told of Jacob
Ridgway, q wealthy citizen of Philadel-
phia, who died many years ago, leaving
fortune of $4,000, 900 or Sc, 5000, 600:
"Mr. Ridgway," said a young man with
whom the millionaire was conversing,
you are more to be envied than any
gentleman know"
Why so?" responded Mr.. Ridgway.
" [ am not aware of any cause for which
I should be particularly envied."
What, sirl" exclaimed the young
man in establishment. @Why. aren't
you millionaire? Think of the thou
sands your income brings you in every
month";
well, what of that9" replied Mr..
Ridgway. @An I get out of it is my
victuals and clothes; and I can't eat
more than one mans allowance, or wear
more than one suit at q time. Pray,
can't you do that much?"
"Ah, but think of the fine houses YOU
own, and the rentals they bring you"
What better am I off for that3 I
can only live in one house at time; as
for the money I receive for rents, I
cannot eat it Or wear it; I con only
use it to buy other houses for other
people to live in; they are the benef-
Charles, not L"
" But you can buy splendid furniture
and costly pictures, and fine carriages
and horses in fact, anything you de-
sire you can have"
"And after I have bought them," re-
sponded Mr.. Ridgway. what then? I
can only look at the furniture and pict-
ures, and the poorest man who Is not
blind can do that. I can ride no easier
in fine carriage than you can in an
omnibus for cents, without the trouble
of attending to drivers, footmen and
hostlers; and, as to anything I desire,
1 can tell you, young man, that the less
we desire in this world the happier we
shall be. All my wealth connot buy me
back my youth, cannot purchase ex-
emption from sickness and pain, can
not procure me power to keep afar of
the hour of death; and then, what will
it avail when, in a few short years at
most, I lie down in the grave and leave
it all forever? Young man, you have
no cause to envy me"

SILENT SONGS.

J :
: When the songs gone out of your life r..
That you thought would last to the end
That first sweet song of the heart,
That no after days can lend
The song OF the wind to the trees - 49,
The song OF the wind to the flowers +.
The song that the heart sings low to itself
When it wakes in LIES morning hours;
You can start no other song;
Nor even q tremulous note
Will falter forth ON the empty afr
It dies in your aching throat.
1t is all in vain that you try,
For the spirit of song has fed;
The nightingale sings no more to the rose,
When the beautiful flower is dead.
So let silence softly fall = ~
On the bruised hearts quivering strings;
Perhaps from the loss of all you may learn
The song that the seraph sings
A grand and glorious psalm
That will tremble and rise and thrill,
And fill your breast with its grateful rest
And its lonely yearnings still.

A Sunday TRAGEDY.


- The German societies of Patterson, n.
J., on Sunday morning, May 2, went to the
top of Carrot Mountain, to greet the rising Of
the sun as usual on the first Sunday in May.
A party Of young men. among them Joseph
Van Honton, stepson of Alderman Swift, Of
the Patterson municipal board, attempted to
cross the lands Of Dalsell, a farmer owning
property on the mountain top. They were
forbidden to trespass, but persisted, when
young Van Honton was shot dead by Dalsell.
The party then persued Dalsell to his house,
where the police were powerless to protect
him. They fired the house and barn and then
seized Dalsell and were about to hang him to
tree, the rope being already in position,
when q reinforcement of policemen arrived,
and Dalsen and his son, who was also impli-
Gated, were rescued from the crowd and taken

deed, ! am not sure that these excep-
lions are necessary there e no instru-.
ment OF the orchestra which woman
cannot play successfully. The extent,
depth, and variety Of musical capsbiity
among the women Of the United States
ore continued new sources Of astonish-
ment and pleasure to this writer, al
though his pursuits are not specially Of
. nature to bring them before his atten-
ton. It may be asserted without ex-
travagance that there is no limit to the
possible achievements Of our country
women IN this behalf, If their efforts be
once turned in the right direction.
This direction 10, unquestionably, the
orchestra. All the world has learned
TO play tho piano. Let our young Ia
dies-always saving, Of course,
those who have the gift for
the special instrument-leaye that
and address themselves to the violin,
the flute, the oboe, the harp, tie clar-
ionet, the bassoon, the kettle-drum. It
I is more than possible that upon some
of these instruments the superior dain-
tiness Of the female tissue might finally
make the woman more successful
player than the man. On the flute, for
instance, q certain combination Of deli
cacy with aexibility in the lips is alb
solutely necessary to bring fully out
that passionate yet velvety tone herein
before alluded to; and many male play
ers, of all requisite qualifications SO far
rs manual execution is concerned, will
be forever debarred from attaining it
by reason of their intractable, rough
lips, which will give nothing but . cor
respondingly intractable, rough tone:
The same, in less degree, may be said
OF the oboe and bassoon. Beside, the
qualities required to make . perfect Or
chestral player are far more often
found in women than in men; for
these qualities are patience, fervor and
fidelity, combined with dizziness OF
hand and quick jntuitiveness of soul.
To put the matter in another view,
no one at all acquainted with this sub
ject will undervalue the benefits to fe-
male health to be brought about by the
systematic use of wind-instruments.
Out of personal knowledge, the writer
pleases himself often with picturing
how many consumptive chests, dismal
shoulders and melancholy spines would
disappear how many rosy cheeks
would blossom; how many erect forms
delight the eyes which mourn over
their drooping-under the stimulus OF
those long, equable and generous in
