The San Francisco Assassination.

The assassination of Charles
DeYoung by son Of the Mayer
of San Francisco is an event de-
plorable not only on account OF
the useful life that has been sac
rifced in such brutal fashion,
but because of the fresh evidence
therein presented that Califor-
MIA, under the reign of the Com
munists, is returning 10 the
methods of barbsrism which
were characteristic of her earlier
history. Kearney and Kearney-
ism have been the curse of the
Pacific coast From the day
that this blatherskite began to
preach his hellish gospel Of dis
order California has had no
peace. He taught the people of
the slums that their will must be
their only law; that might in
their hands became right; that
the rich who would not surren-
der their riches were the legiti-
mate prey of the vagrant poor;
that the shedding of blood was
a yenal sin in such q cause, and
that the royal road to happiness
lay not in raising men to the
level OF the highest. but in bring
ing them down to the level of the
lowest. Charles De Young was
q man who by his own efforts
had risen from a social condition
not superior to Kearney's and
become, through the journal
which hs conducted, a power in
the country. He valued his vast
business interests the more be.

Senator Garland, -of Arkansas,
is showing himself to be a states
man as we'll as an honest man.
In his State lately, a sentiment
favoring reputation has made
it's appearance. He has written
a letter in which he depicts, in
strong and eloquent terms, the
wholesale ruin which reputation
will bring upon the mercantile
and industrial interests OF the
State. He warns the people of the
State that if they wish for pros
perity they must pay their obli-
cations. He denounces every
proposition that has for it's object
anything than the payment of the
State debt dollar for dollar. He
deprecates ethe reputation sem
timent which prevails in Louisi-
ana, Tennessee and Virginia, and
says that the people Of these
States, by their dishonest course,
will gain only temporary relief
from taxation, and that eventu-
ally they will find themselves far
worse off than if they had hon.

they owed. Ii there we're fewer

Advertise, by the year, says
an old, experienced business
man.-It is cheaper, and yields a
better return in proportion to the
money invested. An advertise
ment should always be before
the public in some shape. If it
disappears it is soon forgotten
and those that remain have the
superiority and advantage OF the
competitor. There is only one
excuse for the discrimination OF

men by their autecedents, and in
showing K 'lIoch, Kearney's can

drel he went out of his way
to say that his father was
little tetter. Kalloch re-
torted by an attack upon De
Young's mother, and then De
Young took his pistol in hand
and went outside of the law to
avenge the insult. It was the
act of a desperate man, and in
excusable. But it was crime
committed in heat, under great
provocation. Even this may not
be said in palliation of the crime
of young Kalloch. He has waited
for months to got even with the
man who assailed his father, and
the latter, meanwhile, has recov-
cred and is fully able to take
care OF himself. It is a cold
blooded murder, and unless all
respect tor law and regard for
the sanctity of human life have
fed from San Francisco, it will
be punished accordingly. Mr..
De Young was not model man;
he was product of a semi-clvil-
lied condition Of society; but be
had done some good in the world.
He will be remembered as the
founder and conductor of one of
the greatest newspapers of the
country, which, however erratic,
was in troublous times a fearless
champion of law and or1er, and

violence he invoked violence in

What 'Gath" Has to Say of Tilden.
Cincinnati ENQUIRER. I

L
New YORK, April 24.-To-day
[ saw Samuel J. Tilden on Wall
Street. I can, therefore, give
you an unqualified description of
what he looks like: Twas, stand
ing On the corner of the street
opposite the sub-treasury, when
I saw the old man coming down
from Broadway, and said to a
friend of mine: "Hold on, and
l will show you the greatest liv-
ing curiosity"
While we were gathering our
selves up so as to loose no fea-
ture of this "What is it," We saw
other people who had also es-
pied him getting around in fa-
vorable light to take the old man
in. While we all had had our
mental glasses turned on him it
pleased some loafer to stop Til
den and communicate with him,
probably In order to tell the tale
to his children. We therefore
observed that Mr.. Tilden was re-
markably we'll dressed. He had
on a dark-brown spring over
coat, a high silk hat, cloth
clothes, a1d neat, polished shoes.
He walked, as invariably, with
his toes turned inward. The
loafer aforesaid had hardly spo-
ken to Tilden when that small
and slightly-built worthy exer-
cised the ruling passion of stick
ing up his mouth in the loafer's
ear and telling him, with a great
appearance of confdentiality,
something. The loafer did not
seem to be surprised or instruct
ed.
Tilden had a cheerful conute-
nance. The tint of his skin was
clear-steel blue, as if his stomach
Was working right. His left eye
lid was dropped on his cheek, as
if that eye was out, but it did
not appear to give him the least
trouble. 1t looked as if he was
in the habit of shutting one eye
in order to get the best attaina-
BILE sight with the other one. His
left arm appeared to be eewed
up in the sleeve of his spring
overcoat, because we could see
no hand, nor any appearance of
demonstration on THAI side. The
coat-sleeve was knotted up, too,
as if it was not expected to open
for any arm. The old mans
while talking to the
loafer was bright, but mysteri-
GUS. He is expected to be in the
mood for talk, and did all the
talking. When he shook the
loafer and came on down Wall
street aud turned up Nassau,
there were perhaps one hundred
persons taking him in: His toes
were turned inward, and this
gave him something of the
stumbling gait which exaggerat-
ing people ascribe to paralysis.
can say that, excepting he was
quite an old man, nothing what
ever modified his appearance of
ldiosynocratic good health and
self-esteem. Ke looked as if he
could stand q presidential CAM

First Deed of Long Branch,

The original document is still in the pos
session of the Chamberlain family. 1t was
executed by Mr.. John Chamberlain, Sr.,
great t-grandsire of the present Charles
Chamberlain) and Rebecca, his wife, to
Henry Green, May q, 174S, in the reign
of George III. In it is recorded the sale OF
three hundred and sixty and three-quarters
acres, comprising portions of the most val
liable lands in Long Branch. Starting from
stone now more than two hundred yards
in the sea, little north of the Rowland
Hotel, the line runs west to the Long
Branch and Deal turnpike, thence south to
stream flowing into Whale Pond, now
known as Green's Pond, so to the ocean !;
embracing the Rowland and West End
Hotels, Hoey's place, and other valuable
property. The price paid was seven hun
dred pounds (eight shillings to the pound.
A reservation was made of three rods square,
being a family burying ground. The spot
is some three hundred yards northeast of
where the barns were situated before the
incendiary fire, on the premises OF Mr.
Charles Chamberlain, now residing on the
ancestral domain. Adjoining the above on
the south, but separated from it by the
Whale Pond, lies another tract Of ONE hun
dred and fifty acres, decided March is, 17SS,
by James Green, and Anna, his wife, to
John Green, for four hundred pounds.
This also extends to the pike on the west,
and on the south to road now known as
Woolley avenue. These deeds are the first
made for what may be properly termed
Long Branch property.

that he has man every morning to pre-

". and soften the skin by the application
Of delicate French cream, which is ap-
piled from head to foot. He is, in short,
the product of high civilization, minus the
vices, plus the absolute selfishness which
grows out of habits of luxurious indulgence.
His tastes are refiIfed to the last degree. He
eats at no common table-has his meal
served on a quaint little Dresden service in
his room. A Chateau Yquem cocktail be-
gins his day, and is accompanied by the
little desert of fresh fruit which precedes
his breakfast. The last is as dainty as the
most fatidious lady could require bird,
roll, little pat of fresh butter, cup OF
chocolate. If it rains he docs not 90 out,
but closes his rose colored blinds and de-
votes himself to the daily newspaper,
which have been brought TO him, and the
absorbing pages of q new novel. If ii

dress and all details of taste, and quite
too sweet for anything" as any of his young
lady friends will tell you.

Look ut your Tongue.

A man can never be well and happy if
the stomach is out of order; and dyspepsia,
like hysteria, initiates the symptoms Of in
Vulnerable disorders. But how, the reader
may ask, can tell whether the illness from
which think am suffering be real or i'm
aginary? AT any rate, l should answer,
look to your stomach first; and, pray, just
take glance at your tongue. If ever i
was so far left to myself "a to mediate
some rash act, | should before going into
the matter, have a look at my tongue. IL
it was not perfectt clear and moist, | should
not consider myself perfectly healthy, nor
perfectly sane, and would postpone my
proceedings, in the hope that my worldly
prospects would get brighter. What does
physician discover by looking at the
tongue? Many things. The tongue sym
pathizes with every triiiing ailment OF body
and mind, and especially with the state OF
the stomach. That thin, whitish layer all
over the surface most likely indicates midi
gestion. 4 patchy tongue shows that the
stomach is very much out of order indeed.
4 yellow tongue points to bilicusness. A
creamy, sllivering, thick, indented tongue
tells of previous excesses; and | do not
like my friends to wear such tongues, for
I sincerely believe that real comfort cannot
be secured in this world by anyone who
does not keep his feet warm, his head cool,
and his tongue clean.

Romance of Insanity.

Six or seven years after the kiIkbride
Insane Asylum was opened in West Phila-
delphIa, Pa, young man was brought
there for treatment for mild form of ln-
sanity. He was the son of e wealthy Geor-
gian planter and large slave owner. He
was educated at Yale college, but before
graduating he ran away to sea, and after
some years absence, he was picked up by
an American vessel on one of the Southern
Pacific Islands. lie then returned home,
but about year later his mind becoming
disordered, he WAS sent to kirkbride's asy-
Ium. His case was rarely violent, and the
keepers regarded his threats of vengeance
upon them as harmless. One day
he asked DIR. kirkbride to allow him to
20 to Washington TO visit some friends, but
the doctor refused positively.
'.AIl right, sir, the man replied, ''you
refuse me, and upon the honor of South
ern gentleman, you shall pay for it..
DR.. Kirkbride thought little of the threat
and would take no precaution to prevent
him from carrying it out until one morning
re patient was missing from the asylum,
and then it was too late.
Or. Kirkbride said: ''Oh, he'll return
here before long" and he did. He return.
ed one night, scaled the high wall of tho
hospital and concealed himself in tree.
The next morning, while DR.. kirkbride
was walking in the grounds, shot was
heard, and the superintendent fell to the
ground wounded The man then descend
ed from the tree, gun in hand, and gav1
himself up. The bullet had glanced from
DIR. Kirkbride's head, doing no seriou:
damage, and buried itself in the soft flesh
where il remains to this day. \ charge oi
assault with attempt TO kill was entered
against the man, but the verdict of insan
| ity was found, and he was sentenced to the
Eastern penitentiary for ''safe keeping.
/ No one thought he would remain there
/ long, bat his father lost all his money by
the war, and so ended the young mans
chance for freedom. twenty-five year
after his attempt on DR.. Kirkbride's life
the venerable physician called upon him il
his cell As he entered the warden said
''Do you know who this z" The prison
er looked up quietly, and, after moments
pause, said: ''Yes; that is DR.. kirkbride
whom tried 10 kill twenty-five years ago
He insulted me, and promised as South
ern gentleman, to punish him for it, and
did" Towards the end of his life he re
gained his reason sufficiently TO long TO
his old home in Georgia. He used to 81
up in his well-worn chair and ask his keep
ers sadly if they thought his people would
send for him before he died.
