stances had undergone an important change.
When hydraulic mining began there was
no farming interest in California. The
mining interest was supreme, and when
ever it was found necessary to legislate
upon that interest, everything else was
made to give way to it. 1t was under
such conditions that hydraulic mining was
instituted, and for several years the miners
had enjoyed right Of deposit, or they had
assumed such right, without let or him
drance. When, however, the valley lands
began to be cultivated the existence of
grave nuisance became apparent, and as time
passed the conflict between the mining and
agricultural interests increased in violence
In law and equity it was evident that the
miners had the weaker cause. They could
claim certain implied rights of egress for
their deposits, as necessarily involved In
their contract with the Federal Govern
ment, but they could not meet the unan-
swerable legal maxim, that it is the first con-
dition OF ownership SO to use ones property
as not to injure others. It would need the
demonstration of very broad and con-
spicuous philanthropic purpose to warrant
the Government in permitting one private
person to destroy the property of another
private person. But here the motive was
in no way philanthropic. It was simply
that of private interest. Again, it was
argued that the mining interest was neces-
sarily ephemeral, while the agricultural in
terest was permanent that the latter was
now the dominant interest also. and that
the former must yield. And after much
debate on both sides issue was joined be-
tween the parties in the Courts.
The farmers were hot for litigation. The
miners were more doubtful of the result,
but not less determined to defend the great

to devote some attention to the genesis OF
crime and criminals. It may be said broadly
that SO far as crimes of violence and depreda-
ton are concerned, the tendency to commit
them is distinct survival from savagery.
Originally all men were murderers and tmeVes
when occasion arose. As civilization al.
vanced the majority ceased to murder and
steal. but theft and homicide were committed
bv soldiers. and upon the enemies OF the
sfote Rioioov shows that the human en-
hruo masses through the forms of life through
which Man is believed to have worked his
wav during the period of CESSATION. During
tbe neriod of boyhood the persistence OF
many savage traits is to be remarked. Most
hnns are naturally cruel, naturally dishonest,
and naturally untruthful. The traits OF the
SAVAGE ancestor are here reproduced, just as
dnrino CESSATION the traits OF the lower or
eanisms are represented. Education and civ.
fixed surroundings SO influence the youthful
Mind in the majority of cases that the savage
tanJancies are at least so far concealed as to
be overlooked. Whether they are eradicated
- question which it might be rash to answer
~ The affirmative. But the thief and the ha-
h;tnal law breaker generally is, 50 far as crimes
- y;oIence and depreciation are concerned,
veoIlv the survival Of the primitive savage.
He i what we all once were. He is an in.
stance OF arrested development. Again, it
is very certain that crime is often as
hereditary as genius. Investigations have
been made which show that strain OF
criminal blood may be sent down through
four or FIVE or six generations, as certainly
and as disastrously as strain of insanity.
Whether indeed it is not form of insanity,
and whether what we have just spoken OF as
arrested development does not imply want
of capacity in the cerebral organism, are
Interesting considerations, and not i'm
possibly important ones. But that heredi-
tary crime exists no student Of penology can
any longer doubt, nor can it be questioned
that the subjects of it are incorrigible:
1t is not to be inferred that all habitual
criminals are hereditary offenders. In a
great many cases the criminal career IS
question Of social environment entirely.

"You wish to be lawyer, John-well, I'd
not say word
Unless felt quite certain that your long

To board you rs I'd have to do, aud pay
your office rent.

And you were meant by common toll to
earn your daily breal;
But thriving farm and a pleasant home
where man and wife agree
Beat any one-horsc lawyers luck MS far as
can see.
"If you'd been born with talent, John, you'd
long ago have shown
That you had gifts, by stealing off to study
books alone;
Now, il you've ever read book, rally
don't know when,
Though come to think, believe you sling
somewhat legal pen.
"Be wise, my boy; the legal ranks are more
than crowded now,
And half of them who starve therein were
cut out for the pillow,
But they mistook pure laziness for talent,

And helped TO fill big supply where there
was no demand.
"Aro they not cducatcdi Yes, but here let
me explain,
That seed that's grown In shaky soil brings
forth but little grain;
And this higher education to an ordinary

Is like pair of big gold specs upon man

There is no prouder place than 'twixt the
handles Of the plow,
Though stumpy land has humblcd me at

A Boy Again.

Sometimes an old man becomes
a boy again, though too smart to
drop into second childhood. An il.
lustration of this pleasant tendency
was given, not many months since,
by an old man worth several mil.
lions.
He was in the habit of prowling
around the Office of the insurance
company in which he was director.
One morning, as he was thus in.
vestigating, he happened to come
across the er.pail of the Office
boy. His curiosity led him to take
of the cover. A slice of home.
made bread, two doughnpts, and a
piece of apple. pie tempted the mil.
lionaire's appetite. lie became a
boy again, and the dinner. pail
seemed the one he had carried sixty
years ago.
just then the office boy came 10
and surprised the old man eating
the pie-he had finished the bread
and the doughnuts.
That's my dinner you're eating.'
exclaimed the boy Indignantly.
"ies, sonny, | suspect it may be;
but it's first rate one, for all that.
Pvc not eaten so good one for
sixty years.
"There," he added, as he finished
the pie, "take that and go out and
buy yourself dinner, but you
won't get as good a one" and he
handed the boy q five.dollar bill.
For days after the old man kept
referring to the first class dinner he
had eaten from the boys pail.

A Clever Dodge.

The story, if not new, is ingenu-
ous, of the careful Bloomsbury mat.
ron who, having broken the cover
Of butter.dish, went to the china
shop where it had been bought. and
with much artiulneSs asked the
proprietor if he would sell her a bnt
ter.dish similar to her own without
its cover. "les," the shopkeeper
said, he would spare one to oblige
the lady, but he must really charge
hertwo shillings aud sixpencc for it,.
"But the thing complete is but
three shillings," urged the customer.
"Just So" said the china dealer;
"but you see the cover is actually
valueless; it is the dish itself that
cost all the money, and the six
pence | allow is more than the worth
of the cover "lou are sure of
that'" said the lady. "Quite, mad
am" WAS the reply. "Dear me-
exclaimed the customer on this.

on the counter, she took up the
cover and left the shop before the
astonished tradcsman could recover

to adopt any means for the accom-.

refuses to see difficulties; and thus
the preparation which might over.

feat is crushing, because it is deem.

arrogance have burned the bridges,
and left no opportunity to gather
the shattered forces by retreat.
