Ed. PARKER's case was disposed
of by Judge Dundy one day last
week, by imposing fine of 800 and
the payment of the costs of the pros
ecution. He was only charged with
stealing property or mail matter of
less value than $l5. In view of Eds
former character we think the sem
sence of the court the best that could
have been made.

1t is noticeable fact, attested by many
well-known cases, that when men seek for
and hoard wealth until they have grown
old, and then resolve to retire and enioy
1t, they are apt to die shortly after enter
ing upon their long-promised era of rest
and enjoyment. A great many people
firmly believe that if such persons ATTEMPT
to build fine houses they are almost GER
tain to shNffe OFT this mortal coil lust
about the time the buildings are complete
and ready to be taken possession of by
the owner. Mark Hopkins, of San Fran
cisco, amassed princely fortune, built a
palace that cost million and half of
dollars, and then laid down and died
There have been many like him. and no
doubt in the years to come many others
will follow his example. Whether there
is any marked fatality in pursuing the
course adopted by Mark Hopkins or not
it is a safe principle not to- put off the en-
joyments of life so long that you cannot
enjoy them. In other words, use your
wealth while you have health and strength.
while the evil days come not, and the
years draw nigh when you shall say,

EIGHT O'CLOCK.

Eight times the clock has struck;
The stars peep out o'erhead.
Across the air there comes
A sound of marching tread.
In city and village and town
The children are going to bed.
With footsteps swift or slow,
With faces grave or bright,
BY two and threes they go,
All robed in gowns of white:
And each with backward glance,
Calls cheerily out, Goodnight"
Now darker grows the sky.
The stars their watches keep.
When next the clock shall strike
With hollow voice and deep,
In city and village and town,
The children will be asleep.

From that Celestial Land.

Yesterday afternoon a LEADER req
r~esentative met DR.. Chas. L. Fisher, a
passenger ON the east bound train, upon
his return to his home in New York
City, after an absence Of about four
teen years. DR.. Fisher has been in
China and Japan in an official capacity
during the time Of his absence, having
spent about twelve years in Japan, and
the past two years as %vice-consul atTien
Using, succeeding Wiley P. Mangum,
who died in this consulate. Mrs. Man
gum, widow Of the consul, accompanies
the doctor. She returns after an alb
ssnce of twenty-five years. DR.. Fisher
has but very few favorable words for
Japan, and thinks that both Japan and
China are good countries for a white
man-to leave. Japan's progress is
delicious. As q country, it is bank
rupt. The people have no money, and
the government is crippled. The peo-
pile are quick to initiate, but the Inn
provement wrought is not substantial.
On the contrary, the Chinese arc very
slow to accept new Innovations and
modern ideas, as the fate of that unfor'
nate railroad some years ago will show.
Old ways and thoughts have become a
part of her national life, and new ideas
and thoughts must be e%ngrafted upor
these national institutions before theJ
can exist in this Celestial land. Hence
the change is very slow but it Is perma'
nent. The populace a few years age
destroyed a railroad as a devilish nova
tion, but to-day the government is con-
structing q telegraph line, and n rail
road is in prospect. The change i.
gradual, but sure. The people of this
country really know nothing about the
Chinese from personal observation. II

starvation exist. 1t is truth in q meas
