KALLOcu.s GANG.

Kearney and Kalloch's crowd in San
Francisco are eminent reforraers. All
their sand-lot talk was for reduction of
salaries, and yet We find that since Rev.
Kailoch and his gang have been in
stalled the salaries Of the city officers
have been increased, in the aggregate,
from s22, 500 to 100000. This is re-
form with a vengeance
The fact is, that the last Democratic
administration of San Francisco was
the best in management that the city
ever had, and if the foolish followers of
the preacher Kalioch had consulted
their own interests and been only infu-
enced by dispassionate reason instead
of wild fanaticism the Democrats tick
ct would have been returned in that
city and the taxpayers would have
been safe from the greed Of adventu-
rous cormorants and irresponsible place
hunters.
No community OF people ever bene-
fitted themselves by following OF after
"craze" or sensation. The world is
governed by an evenness or an equi-
poise which cannot suffer sudden re-
vulsion without some sections being the
sufferers.
The Kearneyites and the kallochites
had nothing at stake in their fight
against the law-abiding citizens end
taxpayers of the Pacific metropolis,
and now since they have won the peo-
pie have no rights that they are bound
TO respect.
1t is well that lessons of this sort
drop in the arena of political autonomy.
The San Franeiscans followed of after
false gods and they have the benefit of
their infdelity. Let KaIloch and let
Kearney revel in their ill-gotten gains,
and let the Golden City sit in her ashes
and lament her folly

ADVICE TO 4 WHISTLER,
TBurdette, in the Hawkeyo.l

Sometimes, my son, you will want
to whistle. DO not entirely repress
this desire to aspirate your feelings in
sibbilant strains of wheezy music !;
merely modulate and regulate 1t. Go
of into the woods five or six miles from
any habitation, II the desire comes upon
you during business hours, and whistle
there until the birds make you ashamed
of your poor accomplishment. Do not
yield to the temptation too readily lest
you become addicted TO tho habit and
become u slave to it, and go wbistling
around even as man who has lost q
dog. There are men, my son, Who can
whistle musically once in while You
find men whose whistle is pleasant to
the car and soothing to the soul, but
yon only find one Of these every three
or four thousand years, and they die
young, son they die very young. You
will observe that the best whistler is he
who whistles least, and practices in SOL
itude. The poor whistler, who flats on
the high notes and gasps on the lower
ones, and wbeezes in the middle regis
ter, is the man who whistles at all
times and in all places. Whistle all
you will in solitary places, son il it
pleases you whistle in the night as you
go home, for a CHEEKY whistle in the
dark is pleasant sound unto the lis
tening soul Of the belated passenger,
but when you come into the assem-
blages and the business haunts Of men,
unpucker your musical lips and shut up
your whistle in your heart. And il
over the temptation comes TO you to
whistle against the edge of a card,
crush it out, If the effort kills you.
Whistling is not lofty, though it is a
universal, accomplishment. Though
you practice u hundred years, and
though you whistle never 30 whistley,
my son, yet the commonest switch.en-
gine that ever scared human being
deaf can beat you at it. The great
and good wero not great whistlsrs, son.
George Washington never sat in a
friead's Office, with his feet on the win
dow sill, whistling Grandfather's
Clock against the edge of card.
Strive to emulate George Washington,
and although you may never DO FIRST in
war, first in peace, and in the hearts Of
your countrymen, yet fame will not
forget you If they can write upon your
tombstone that you never whistled your
countrymen inte convulsions Of intem.
perAte but fruitless profanity.

Tho preparation Of the new bible.
which IS TO be inspired by sweet rea-
sonableness, has not made much ad-
vance set. We lay before our read
ers the improved version Of the first
chapter Of Genesis
l. There never was beginning .
2. And Cosmos was homogeneous
and differentiated.
Q. And mo.ecule evolved proto-
plasm, and rhythmic thrills arose.
and then there was light.
4. And q spirit Of envy was devel-
oped and formed Tho plastic cell
whence arose the primoridal germ.
5. And the primoridaI germ be-
came protenge, and protenge some
how shaped cocoon, then was the
dawn of life.
G. And the herb yielding seed and
the fruit tree yielding fruit after It's
own kind, whose seed is in itself, de-
veloped according to its own fancy.
7. The cattle after his kisd, the
beast Of The earth after his kind and
every creeping thing became evolved
by heterogeneous segregation and
coneomitant dissipation OF motion.
s. So that by the survivaIsof the
fittest there evolved the simfads
from the jeIly-fish, and the siniads
differentiated themselves into the
antilrophomorphin primidoriaI types.
0. And in due time one lost his
tail and became man, and behold he
was the most cunning or all ami
mails.
10. And in process of time, by nat
ural selection and survival Of the fit
test, Matthew Arnold, Herbert spen-
Ger and Charles Darwin appeared. and
behold it was very good.

Champa street has a remarkable
cat. She has one kitten, the most
beautiful, precious little exit that
was ever seen. AS was passing
her going home one day, l greeted
her after the customary manner of
saluting fine, genial, well-bred cats,
and was continuing my way, when
she commenced calling. and, as
kept on, she raised her voice as il to
summon band of serenaders. Said
I, "Puss, what is the matter? What
makes you call SO loude" | looked,
and beheld she had followed me as
far as the cellar, and there perched
upon the door, so TO speak. 1t was
evident that she wanted me 10 fol
low heI; 1 went, puss going ahead
until she came to barrel, when she
leaped upon the side ahd mewed, in-
viting me to look in. This was the
nest of her kitteR, and the little
thing was in serious trouble, and this
was the mothers method 10 obtain
relief. A gunny sack had been
placed iu the barrel for the cats to
lie upon, and the little kitten, in
squirlning around, had become en-
tangled in raveling. The string
was four times around the little crea-
ture's neck, and it was in danger OF
being choked to death. I informed
the grocerynan of the kits dilemma
and he cut the strings with a sharp
knife. The old cat then came cut of
the barrel and followed Us up to the
walk, expressing her thanks with
many contortions of her body.

HANGMAA.s DAY.

The San Francisco Eramiaer aug-
gests, in common with several Eastern
Journals, that Friday shall not be exelu-
sively solicited as the day Of the week
on which to hang persons condemned to
that ignominious death by due process
Of the law. In connection with the
subject the Philadelphia Bui'ctia states
that to Ex-Governor 1Iartranft, the
hargman of the murdered lady, AIrs.
Mary Surrftt, must the credit be given
Of departing from tho custom of ap-
pointing executions on Friday. The
San Francisco Post remarks thercupon
that the change of day was first made
by Newton Booth, whilo Governor Of
that State. As matter OF fact, IN
California and nearly every other State
the Judge of the Court in which the
conviction occurs appoints the day ol
execution i'll pronouncing sentence
Hence, in reference to Governor Booth
the Post is in error. But it is further
in error in attributing tho new depart
ure in tho selection Of hangman's day
As early as 1853 Judge Il. p. Boise, ol
Oregon now ono of the Justices Of the
Supreme Court Of this State-brokC
away from the Friday line of immemo
rial usage, and appointed Tuesday as
the day Of execution. Since then he
has sentenced three or four othci mur-
derers to'death-~down to ls70-and in
no instance has he appointed Friday as
the fatal day. Judge r. J. Bowers,
County Judge and Superior Judge elect
of Marin county, California, was Chioi
Justice OF Idaho Territory daring the
Presidency Of Andrew JOHNSON. lie
sentenced Simeon Walters, whose muir
der Of Joseph p. Bacon was ne Of the
most extraordinary in the annals Ci
erlmc, to be hanged on wednesday
in August, 1869. instead of on Fri
day. And Of late years many in.
stances have occurred wherein criini
nails condemned to death, within the
United States, were hanged on some
other day than Friday. In England,
as a reference to the newspapers Of that
Kingdom will show, Friday is rarely
appointed now as the day OF execution.
The rule appears to be, among the
Judges in the various portions Of tho
country, TO accommodate the death sen
tenee TO the engagements Of MarEood,
the exeeutioner. who is generally en-,
ployed FOR the terrible service. Friday
is slowly recovering from the evil name
it has for centuries held, in popular en-
timation and among superstitionsr
equally as hangman's day and n day Of
ill-omen for departures from sea-Porta
on long voyages, or adventures in q
business way.

He was found one mile from where the
murder was committed. 1t is supposed
that ho hung himself the next day after
committing the deed, well knowing the
fate that was his should he fall into the
hands of his countrymen. A small
cord was used for the purpose, which
was fastened to limb about ten feet
from the ground. To accomplish his
purpose it was necessary for him to
climb the tree, fasten the cord, slide
down the trunk and strangle himself to
death,
