John Vance Ceney contributes another
installment OF. his prosy yarn about Califor-
MIA in 40 and 80. Unless Cheney hurries
up his characters and incidents SO as to
comport little more naturally with the
rapid chances and developments Of those
go den, wldeawake days of hopeful activity
and chronic suddenness, so to speak, he
will never catch up with the real progress
of the country at all. His characters talk
too much, and have been three months
already getting as far as Sacramento. At
this rate it vii take a year for them to
reach Downieville or San Andreas and take
a look through the gold diggings, and they
never will get back to San Francisco at ALL"

THE OPERA house.

Bilee Taylor drew full house last night,
the combined attraction being that Sodene
was on the boards and the opera was sup
posed to be rival Of Pinafore. While it
is hardly possible that B. Taylor, Esq, will
ever create such Juror as Sulivans
opera, it is, nevertheless, delightful piece
of music, and has the advantage of being
too difficult in places for school exhibitions
or church choirs Miss Soldene seemed
tr file heavy for Phoebe, but made up for her
over weight by splendid singing and acting.
Rose Stella captured everybody as Arabel-
la by her charming singing and piquant
acting Mr.. AppIeby as Felix Flapper
gave a clever rendition of the Anglican
swell. Marsha made the most of his Ben
Barnacle, and Quinton as Sir Mincing Lane,
with his capital make up and excellent act
ing, was pleasing feature. The choruses
were we'll balanced, and the charity girls

Kearney streets between Thomas ". Gun
bingham and j. A Chand er, in which the
former was killed and the latter wounded,
| though not dangerously. Family quarreis
were the cause Of the tragedy, the parties
having married sisters. Chandler claims
claims that Cunningham sought to break
up his family, IN consequence of which
| Chaudier's wife left him and sued for a
divorce. He SO claims that Cunnir CHAM

Lately he has been ont OF business but

It is reported ttat he is nephew Of the

A more extended latement by Chandler
regarding the tragedy is 20 the following
effect: Owing to the Influence of Cunning

EEEECrs Of PNE.ON LIFE
strange Transformation OF Traits of
Character.

4 State Prison officer stated to On APPEAL
reporter yesterday that the strangest
changes IN the natures of men take place
after they are consigned 10 the State Prison.
For instance, the most daring and desper-
ate criminal, after he assumes The regula-
ton garb, becomes the most tractabIe and
who are committed for minor offenses are
the most difficult to mana1e Such cui-
prits as Prich I'd, Sharp, the stage robber,
aud others of that ilk, do no more think of
infringing upon the prison rules than they
do Of abandoning hope for an ultimate par
don. The sneak thivf, however, who is in
carcerated for ''roing q drunk" for suff-
cient amount to bring his crime up to the
standard Of grand LARGE y, is always getting
himse into t cub e by the feigning of
bravado, which his cowardly nature would
not permit him to exhibit outside of prison
wal That class of convicts try the
p2tence and endurance of those who are
II4c..rcerateu for greater crimes, the com
mission Of which requires the demonstra-
ton of :: certain degree Of courage. Under
these circumstances, prison officers are sur
prised, in She face of all the vigilance they
exercise, hat not more of the Clover caste"
known" causes.

One thing about the market that looks
after break. The pubic only buy on
rising markets It is the insiders with
heavy capital who step in when things are
tottering. The little breaks in the market
have all been checked, and the market still
holds. Unless some strong hand was sup
porting things, the line would all go to
pieces in a couple of days.

Valuable discoveries have been made and vSlu .t!v
inventions suggested by tho varisss accident. An
slchemist while seeking to discover a mixture OF
oarths that would make the most dursbls crlcibes
one day found that he had made porcelain. Tho
power of lenses, as applied to the telescope was
discovered by q watchsnaker's apprentice. Wills
holding spectacle glasses between his thumb and
finger he startled ut the suddenly enlarged ap-
appearance Of 3 neighborlns church spiro.
This art Of etching glass was discovered by 3
Sursm6urg glass cutter. By accident few drops
Of aquafo.ts: !e!l upon his spoctaclcs. He noticed
that the glass bocsmc corrosd and sottened whore
tn, acid had touched 1t. That was hint enough.
He drew figures upon glass With varnish, applied
the corroding fud then cut away the 81 Asa around
the drawing. When the rarnish WAS removed the
figures appeared raised upon dArS grouu3. Mez-
zotlnts owed its invenng to tho simple accident OF
the gun-barrel Of a sentry becoming rus:sd with
dew. The swinging to aud fro OF a chandelier In \
cathedral suggested to Calico the application o!
tho pendulum.
The art OF li:hographing WAS perfected throu Oh
suggestions made BY accident. A poor musician
was curious to know whether music could not be
etched upon stone as we'll as upon copper. After
he had prepared IL his mother asked him - m Akes
memorandum OF such clothes IS she proposed to
send away to be washed. Not having pen, ink and
paper convenient, he wrote the list On the stone
with the etching preparation, intending to make
copy Of it at leasure. few days later, when about
to clean tho stone, he wondered what eff SC: sqnafor-
It's would have upon It. He applied tho acid. and
In few minutes saw the writing standing out In
relief. The next step necessary was simply to Ink
tho stone and take on an impression. Tho compo-
stion Of which printing rollers are made was dis
covsrsd by sa!oplan printer. Not being able to
ind the peltball, he linked tho typo with piece Of
soft glue which had fallen out Of glue pot. II
WAS an excellent subs.ituts-so that, sfter mixing
In mossses to give the glue the proper oonslsssnoy
the old pol. ball Wa entirely discarded. Tho shop
Of . Dublin tobScconist BY tho name OF Lundy was
destroyed by nre. while he was gazing do sfully
Into tho smouldsring ruins he noticed that his poor
neighbors were gathering tho suuH from tho banis-
tors He tested tho snuH for himself. and disoor-
cred that the IRE had largely improved its pungsn-
cy and aroma. 1t WAS heat worth pro6ting by.
He secured another shop, built , lot of ovens
aud suggested the snud to heating process, gave
the brand particular name. and In few years be-
came rich through accident which he at hrst
thought had completely ruined him.

How to Detect Glucose.

The proportion of glucose added varies

than sugar, the glucose settles at the bot
tom of the cup, unless the hot tea or cof-
fee is persistentiy agitated, and, when lett
to dry, forms hard, horny film, similar
to dried gelatine, but little more readily
straped or cut. Upon the surface of syr-
up thus adulterated film or pcllicle
forms upon exposure to tho air. The
pelliclc Is Of extreme thinncss and trans
parancy, but becomes corrugated when
the exposure is prolonged, and possesses
q considerable degree of resistance to
rupture. A lens is not necessary to its
and study. These arc very sim
pie tests, but they are capable Of detecting
a very minute percentage Of the adulter-
ant.

Two CalifOrnianS.

Josqui9 Nil lori
knew Two neighbors, old Californians,
who had about equal fortunes. They
were both old settlers, both rich, and both
much respected. In that fearful year,
1852, when the dying and destitute immi.
grants literally crawlcd on hands and
knees over the Sicrrns, trying to reach the
settlements, one Of these men drove all Of
his cattle up to the mountains, butchercd
them, and fed tho starving. He had his
Mexicans pack all the mules with flour,
which ut that time cos; almost Its weight
in gold, and push on night and day over
the mountains to meet the strangers there
and feed them, so that they might have
strength to reach his house. where they
could have shelter and rest. Tho other
man, cole and cautious. saw his opportu-
nifty and embraced it. He sat at home
and sold all his wheat and mules, and
meat, and with the vast opportunities for
turning money to account in tina, new
couutry soon became almost Prince in
fortune. But his generous neighbor died
a beggar in Idaho, where he had gone to
try to make another fortune. He liter
ally had not money enough to 1uy a
shroud; and. as he died among strangers
by the roadside, he was buried withou.
oven so much as pine board coffin.
