THE SLAYER.

The Lord alone can read the secret soul,
Or count the sleepless hours one act has
By that vast Power that wields supreme
control,
Ger worlds unnumbered, not one item Is
lost!
Exacting conscience, ever claims her due,
Remorse now holds thee in her iron
thrall;
The SOULS deep peace, thy hapless victim
knew,
Shall never, never on thy spirit fall.
Strange as it seems if thousand worlds
were thine,
/ marvel not, but thou would'st give them
all, w
Ay, even more, would almost life resign,
Might only these that one rash act recall |!
Be heaven thy judge, tits not for us TO say,
We all have need of Gods compassion
here;
Many shall tremble at the judgment day,
That felt assured, themselves, at least,
clear

The Moon and Weather.

Almost everybody believes that the

d-lusion. Some one has written to the
University Monthly to inquire 10 any
changes in the weather are attributable
to the influence Of the noon. The
editor referred the communication to
Com. Maury. His answer will disappoint
Q great many weathsr.viss folks. The
moon changes. says Maury, every ~

weather must take place within the pc.

Until the alleged new Chinese treaty
has been passed upon BY the Senate. its
provisions will not DO made publicly
known. It is ssmi-0ficially stated. how
ever. that this treaty is merely q repe-
tition OF the Fifteen Passenger bill which
was rejected and very properly vetoed
by President Hayes a. inefficient and
not coming up to the requirements.
This seems hardly reasonable and Is
doubtless not true. The Commissioner
most certainly must have known and
appreciated this and tried TO get up
something better. The Sacramento
Record. Union discusses the proposition
a. follows:
The so-callsd fifteen passenger bill was
sspricious attempt TO deal IN an arbi-
tr,ry way with the question Of Chinese i'm.
migration. Why the number nftsen

was introduced to Congress IL was pointed
out that 1t could not possibly produce the
effects anticipated from IL. II the argu'
ments then addueed against that measure
we're sound. we fail to see what satisfae'
ton the alleged new treaty can give. -.
All that can safely or properly DO said
on the strength Of the statements thus Tar
given to the public 10 that the Commission
appears TO have facilitated its negotiations
in . manner somewhat new to diplomacy.
We had expected. from the known talent Of
the Commissioners. . broad. profound and
comprehensive scheme Of international re-
l~ations, which. while keeping the avenues
Of commerce duly open. would have guar
anteed protection to white labor In the
United States. II seems TO US that this was

very much misrepresent the facts. some
thing quite different from this has been
| achieved.

Reno Gazette. Norember "a.
The Railroad Conductors excursion
party arrived here at $50 last evening
on their special train OF Ave Pullman
coaches and Q baggage car. There were
one hundred conductors and iorty.eight
or fity ladies' In the party. They are
from all parts Of the United States and
Canada. representing an organization
known o the Conductor Mutual Aid
and Benefit Society. The society has
been In, existence six years and has Q
convention every year. This 10 the frat
year that an excursion has been made.
The party cams straight through from
Chicago. And will remain six days In
San Francisco. On their return they
may visit Virginia City, but that II not
certain. Their trip ksd % far been
pleasant and without accident. Their
train remained In Reno only long enough
for dinner and then started west on the
time Of the regular overland. moving as
Its frst section. The second section OF
the overland arrived about 1890 with
passengers and mails.
A heavy gold watch chain and q big
dangling seal are indispensable parts Of
Q conductors outfit. A conductor may
sometimes worry along without q ticket
punch but would feel lost without his
chain and seal. When the excursion
train arrived last night and the psssen.
gers alightsd, the platform fairly cleaned
with seals. They flashed out 10 the
darkness like Q swarm Of frefiss. It 10
remarked that the more service q con.

chain become. The degree Of . conduc-
tors experience can always be told In
this way. II one applies to the Super.

just % the excursion train was about
10 start last night, and while the plat

Of the party yelled:

There we're about atty conductors on
the platform. From the force Of habit
each one answered, and they all sang out

"Oh. dammit What do you waut2"
1t was o glorious sight to see those
fifty conductors swing themselves aboard
as the train was pulling ont. They ell
