Sir Roger Tichbourne.
HE TURNS UP THIS TINE IN SAN DIEGo-oTHER
TICHBoURNEs.

1t seems that the interest which was so
generally manifested in the great Itch.
bourne case is not to die for lack of nour.
ishment. Soon after the long trial was
closed, and the claimant Ortion was pro.
nounced an imposter, the veritable Sir
Roger Ilchbourne was reported as making
his appearance in various parts of the
world. But of all localities, the Pacific
Const seems to have been especially favored
in this respect. Once Sir Boyer was af.
firmed to be sojourning at San Quentin,
where he was wearing garb that would
not, probably, assist his Identification had
he appeared in it at the Tichbourne House
Again, only short time ago. Sir Roger APP
peared in some remote part of British Col.
umbia, where he had for long time been
engaged in some humble occupation. And
now, for the third time, the long. lost Sir
Roger appears coming up from San Diego
to consult w. III. H. Barnes as to his case
According to the story as told by Mr..
Barnes, man camo to him short time ago
and said that he was the long.lost Roger
Tichbourne Mr.. Barnes told him that he
was an unmitigated humbug, but asked him
to call again in ten days. In tho meantime
he devoted himself to studying. Accord.
ing to the representations of Mr.. Barnes,

with the requirements of tho record of the
true Sir Roger; has not forgotten French;
is familiar with the genealogy Of the Itch.
bourne family; can describethe Tichbourne
house and grounds; can furnish all the de-
tails of his youth; even names his tailor,
aud that he never was passenger on the
Bella or the Osprey. He is credited with
the story that no went from England to
Lima, Peru. He started from Lima to 60
across the mountains, but was taken i'll and
was deserted by his servant, who robbed
him Of all he had. He remained here about
year, during which time he was insane.
Upon his recovery be adopted the sea rs
sailor; then entered the United States
Army and served through the war; then
worked at Mare Island Navy Yard, at tho
same time being Captain Of the Frisbie
Guards, and then obtained small farm at
San Diego and secured position as Light
House Keeper. Tie married Miss Williams
in New York, IN 1866, and has now four
children, all of whom have Tichbourne
family names. As to his strange silence all
these years, he states that no left England
on account Of disappointed love, his amt
objecting to his marriage with mis- cousin,
Kate Doughty, aud that when he recovered
his reason after his illness in South America,
he was inspired with such hatred Of tho
world in general and of his aunt in psrtic-
ular, that he had vowed not to reveal
himself until that generation had passed
away. The moment that he was released
from his vow he FASTENED from San Diego
to lay his case before Mr.. Barnes.

The Trade in Canaries.

The importation of canaries from Ger

$4,000 birds every year. The importation
began about the year l847, and has been
steadily increasing ever since. Almost

now come from the little town of Andreas.

MEMORY.
BY JAMES A. GARFIELD,

This little poem, from the pen of tn
President, was written before his first tern
| in Congress-hence some twenty years ago
At that time possibly the president Of
Christian college was the summit wher,
the sunbeams fell, !" but the last lines are al
but a prophecy.
lis beauteous night; the stars look bright
Upon the earth, decked in her robe of snow
No light CLEANS at the window, save my
own,
Which gives its cheer to midnight and to me
And now, with noiseless step, sweet mem
Ory comes
And leads me gently through her twilight
realms.
What poets tuneful Tyre has ever sung,
Or delicate pen Ger portrayed,
The enchanted, shadowy land where mem
ory dwells?
1t has it's valleys, oheerless, lone and drear,
Dark-shaded by the mournful cypress tree
And yet it's sunlit mountain tops arc batllcd
In heavens own blue. Upon its craggy
cliffs,
Robed in the distant light of dreamy years,
Are clustered joys serene Of other days.
Upon its gentle, sloping hillsitles bend.
OF dear departed ones and yet in that land,
Where'er our footsteps fall upon the shore,
They that were sleeping rise from out the
dust
OF deaths long, silent years, and round US
AS erst they did before the prison tomb
Received their clay within its voiceless
halls.
The heavens that bend above that land aro
With clouds Of various bues. Some dark
and chill,
Surcharged with sorrow, cast with somber
shade
Upon the sunny, joyous land below.
White as the falling snow, their margins
tinged
With gold and crimson hues their shadows
Upon the flowery meads and sunny slopes,
Soft as the shadow of an angels wing.
When the rough battle of the day is done,
And evenings peace falls gently on tho
heart,
bound away, across the noisy years,
Unto the utmost verge of memory's land,
Where earth and sky in dreamy distance
meet,
And memory dim with dark oblivion joins,
Where woke the first remembered sounds
that fell
Upon the ear in childhood's early morn;
And wandering thence along the rolling
years,
see the shadow Of my former self
Gliding from childhood up to mans estate.
The path of youth winds down through
many o vale,
And on the brink of many dread abyss,
From out whose darkness comes no ray of
light,
Save that a phantom dances DER the gulf
And beckons toward tho verge. Again the
path
leads DER the summit where the sunbcams
fall;
And thus in light and shade, sunshine and
gloom,
'orrow and joy, the life path leads along.

EDITOR CHIEF:
Every man who writes for q newspa-
per knows what an arrant humbug it is
to talk about the good old times. In
every community there arc lots of old
fossils who are continually dinning your
ears about the decadencc Of virtue and
patriotism and everything that is good.
It is true that we all might be great
deal better than we are but can not
discover, after q careful comparison,
that we are much worse than our grand
fathers and grandmothers, nor can l be-
lieve that our grandchildren will be
much worse than ourselves. 1t is very
true that fifty years ago New York had
no Jay Goulds or Vanderbilts, but John
Jacob Astor, with his three millions
was just us good a man as William H .
Vanderbilt or Jay Gould are to-day with
a hundred millions Of dollars. Murders
were just as rife, swindlers were just as
plentiful, and robberies were quito as
numerous according to the population.
Forty yeaIs ago; who that remem bcrs
anything of that time can forget the
murder of Helen Jewett, and the start
ling assassination of his persistent credi-
tor by John C. Colt' Fire ladtlies and
prize-ring rufiians ruled the city with
rod of iron; and out of this element
was born VIM. NJ. Tweed, Mike Norton,
John Morrissey, and the rest Of the
crowd whose fortress was Tammany
Hall, and whose treasury was-the three
thousand millions represented by the
property of the city Of New York. Low
beetle browed rnffians, who would have
found it difficult to sign their names, en-
joyed salaries equal to the revenue of a
king, and sported diamonds in their
shrt-frouts and on their fingers that
would have purchased a princes ransom.
The office of Sheriff was worth over a
hundred thousand year, aud this be-
came the reward of rascals whose only
claim to consideration was that they
had outraged the sanctity Of the ballot
box and thereby earned themselves a
passport to the Penitentiary or State
Prison. have i'll my minds eye now
one of these scoundrels who has lived on
the public for the last twenty years,
who has claimed and received the high
est offices of profit and trust; who, if his
entire record could be made public,
would have been breaking stones in
Clinton Prison years ago.
AS l said before, we are not quite
models yet-the millennium is far off
but looking back on what we were I
find very little to regret. Irecollcct the
time when ferryboats ran between New
York and Brooklyn in the daytime every
half Eonr. and after nine at night only
