the mysteries of a game Of euchre.
/ confess to little surprise at this,
although had so often seen respec-
table looking parties, both of ladies
and gentlemen, play cards in this
public manner on the cars and steam.
boats, that it had ceased to shock
me as 1t once did. You know:
"Vice is a monster of such frightful mien
As to be hated, needs but to be seen;
Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace"
And what would have struck our
grandsires speechless with horror,
might not cause, in our degenerate
days, word of comment, either of
approval or disapproval. Yet l was
surprised to see Christian gentlemen
and judges of law and equity, leaders
ofsociety, makers ofpublic sentiment,
lawgivers tor great State, directors
OF public morals, supposed to be pub
lie exemplars Of all that is good, and
guides to the young-thus setting
publicly their seal OF approval to
most dangerous and evil practice.
To be sure, they played for stakes
no higher than cigars for the party.
But it seems to me that in the eyes
of all discreet persons this does not
change the act nor lessen the danger
Of its example, but rather heightens
it; as from the less to the greater is
the invariable course Of crime. But

the game, and our remaining judge
was invited to take his place. I saw
the blood mount in an honest blush
of disapproval to his manly face, and
he hesitated and drew back. But
the game had become interesting,
and his now excited companions
urged him. "Come, Judge, take a
hand they cried "We can't go on
without you" So the Judge slowly
rose from his seat, lnwardly condemn
ing the act, as evidently saw, and
stepping forward took seat among
the players and the game went on.

to the rear OF the players, who had

A Thrilling Story.

In the winter of 1870 l had occa-
sion to go from Green Bay to Chi
cago, on the N. w. Railway. At
Oshkosh we were joined by a dele
cation of lawyers, on their way to
Madison, the capital, to attend the
Legislature, then in session. Being
personally acquainted with them all,
1 was greatly pleased to see such a
brilliant addition to our party. They
were all men of more than usual in
tellect, and of exceptional character.
Two were ex,judges of the circuit
court, and one 1 had seen chairman
of the Young Men's Christian Asso-
citation. The party found seats near
together, and after the first saluta-
tions were over, and the news duly
discussed, began to look about for
means to while away the time. The
day was dull and cloudy, and the
snow deep; just such day as makes
one hug the chimney corner, hunt up
old letters and read them over
again; read Mother Goose's Melo.

Or do anything wise or otherwise,

Pumpkin Pie.

If you want pumpkin pies in the
spring stew and put in glass self
sealer same as fruit. Apples peeled
and stewed and canned now will
afford you many a treat in May
when apples are scarce. To make
pies cut the pumpkin in small pieces,
stew with one teacup Of water until
soft and dry as possible. Put
through a colander. Take eight
eggs, two tablespoonful of pumpkin,
one and a half cups OF sugar, one
cup OF milk; flavor with cinnamon,
allspice and ginger. Put in pan
lined with pastry and bake.

A QUESTION OF ETHICS.

The action of the Board of Education in
revoking its order regarding the counting
of the monthly reports in the Sacramento
Grammar School seems to us to require
| some further discussion At the beginning
OF the school year the Board announced
! that the monthly reports would be used in
determining the standing of the pupils at
the end of the year. The pupils governed
themselves by that understanding all
through the year. They made special
efforts to bring mp their standing as high
as possible And after they had so ex-
erted themselves, and after they had been
led to rely upon this arrangement, the
Board turned round and declared that the
term standing should not be taken into
account at all. We are aware that q
number of the class teachers petitioned
the Board to take this action, but that
fact could not relieve the Board from the
moral engagement into which it had en-
tered with the children. The argument of
the teachers, that the monthly reports do
not constitute trustworthy or uniform
standard OF capacity, may be sound, but
it cannot alter the fact that ths
Board of Education had passed its word
to the children. 1t had entered into a
contract with them, and they had lived up

victoria TRRAsaED AGAIN.

1t is reported Of the founder of the New
York Herald that in his green and salad
days, when he was willing to do anything
for sensation, he invited SO many per-
sonal ehastisements as to acquire the nick
name Of Cowhided-Again Bennett. ="
Some such designation seems also to have
been earned BY the Apache chief, Victoric
for he has been thrashed up and down Ari-
IONA during the past three months, accord
ing to the reports. And notwithstanding
the heavy defeats he has sustained, this
obstinate fellow does not appear to know
that he is beaten, but fights on in the most
stolid and provoking manner The last
battle ID reported to have cost him from
thirty to sixty men. We believe that he
only had about sixty when he started, and
that he had previously lost about double
that number always according to the re-
portsl. II he does not soon surrender, at
this rate he will be left without any fol-
lowing in year or two.

THE FAILURE OF THE KALLocH I'M
PARCHMENT.

The attempt to procure the removal of
DIR. Kalloch from the Office of Mayor of
San Francisco has broken down, the Su-
perior Court having yesterday dismissed
the case, on the ground that the charges
preferred against him do not constitute
official offenses within the meaning of the
law. This defect in the Indictment was
practically admitted by Colonel Barnes on
the preceding day, and the counsel for the
defense were not slow to recognize the sig
niticance OF his admission. One of the
Judges files dissenting opinion, to the
effect that Kalloch's acceptance of free
passes on the street railroads was an of
Tense within the statute, and that he could
be removed for it. The majority of the
bench, however, evidently held that the
acts charged against an official must be
acts committed while in the performance
of his stticial functions, and that such
acts as ne may do in bis private capacity
will not afford the necessary basis for
prosecution: 1t remains to be seen
whether any attempt Will be made
to procure more valid charges against
the Mayor, or whether his adversarics will
rest content with this failure to GUST him,
and will wait until his term expires. Judg-
ing from the line taken by the Court, how
ever, we should think it might be difficult
to hit upon any more specific and strictly
official lackes on his part. 1t viii be re-
membered that when these charges were
first brought against him we expressed Sc
rious doubts as to the possibility OF max
ing them stick, and for this some vehement
opponents of his accused us of desire to
betriend him. 1t is now in order for those
intemperatc persons TO make the same ac-
cusation against the Superior Court.

TIE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

Very little Of Importance has been
added to the general knowledge of the
causes of the late railroad accident by
the witnesses examined at the inquest
Perhaps the most significant point is the
statement of section foreman that the
iron on the curve where the accident hap
pened was too light, and that he had been
expecting something to give way there.
The general conclusion TO be reached is
that there was not a satisfactory and care
full supervision exercised, but too many
matters were allowed to run themselves.

THE HARBoR OF REFUGE.

Professor Davidson's report to Congress
on the question of harbor of refuge for
this coast is a somewhat curious document.
Without expressly saying anything of the
kind, he contrives to make it quite APP
parent that in his opinion no such harbor
is needed. The boldness of the coast-line,
he says, and the regularity of the winds
during the greater part of the year, render
it very improbable that any extensive de-
mand for harbor of refuge should arise
He proceeds then to consider the various
places which have been named as available
for such purpose, and expresses the
opinion that only three of them, namely,
Trinidad, Port Oxford, and Cape Gregory,
deserve any mention, while he is led to
reject Port Oxford for several reasons.
The question thus lie between Trinidad
and Cape Gregory. The claims of these he
thinks very evenly balanced. But after
going over the whole question ne concludes
with the opinion that the whole problem
els not yet in condition to warrant
'final judgment" He thinks it "neces-
"sary and imperative to have made a
Thorough and exhaustive examination
land study at each locality, of all the
physical conditions involved, extending
through period of perhaps two winters
sand one summer" This reDort will
doubtless be regarded as exceedingly I'M
satisfactory by the advocates of Port
Oxford, and by such as clamor for prompt
decision. But considering that harbor
of refuge is certain to be very costly
undertaking, it will perhaps occur to con-
sentative people that it would be as well to
ascertain clearly whether such a thing is
really wanted at all, before going any
further. Professor Davidson appears to
doubt very much whether it is needed.
