In my grandfather's family the old
cook was accustomed To bake cakes in
large rounds, which she cut into fonrs
with sharp knife, each quarter being
put TO bake by itself. She was most
careful that during the baking the
pointed end of those quarters should
not be broken, otherwise death might
shortly be expected. Even the ship
PING. of piece of soap from persons
hands when washing has been con-
strued to mean that the death of some
relative is imminent, as, indeed is the
persistent burning of fire on one side
only of the CRATE. Every one knows
that to dream losing teeth means that
some calamity may be looked for. If
the eyes of a corpse are difficult to close
they say they are looking for a sue
cessor; and ifthe limbs do not become
quickly stiff, it is supposed that some
one of the family will be soon also
among the dead. If the house door is
closed upon the dead before the friends
have come out to take their places in
the carriages, Sheffield people say an
other death will happen before many
days and If at a funeral where the
mourners went in a scattered struggling
manner this WAS thought in the west of
Scotland to betoken the same mislor-
tune. Even if the mourners walk quick
ly the omen was bad TO walk under
a ladder hetokens misfortune. if not
hanging as it does in Holland To meet
a funeral when going to or coming
from wedding was considered very
unlucky in Lanarkshire; or if the fun
eral was that of a woman the newly
made wife would not live long, and if
1t was that of man, the fate of the
bridegroom was scaled. If one heard
tingling in his ears, it was the dead
bells" and the news of the death of n

NcatnesS i'm Women.

\ woman may be handsome or re-
markably attractive in various wavs
but If she Is not personally neat, she
cannot hope TO win admiration Fine
clothes will not conceal the slattern. A
young woman with her hair always in
disorder and her clothes hanging about
her rs if suspended from a prop, is al
ways repulsive. Slattern is written on
her person from the crown of her head
to the soles of her feet, and if she wins
a husband, he will turn out, in all
probability, either an idle fool or Il
drunken ruthan, The bringing up of
daughters TO be able to work, talk, and
act Nike honest, sensible young women,
is the special task of all mothers, and
in the industrial rank there is imposed
also the prime obligation of learning to
respect household work for its own
sake, and the comfort and happiness
it will bring in the future. Housework
is drudgery; but it must be done by
somebody, and had better be well than
i'll done.

OUT OF REACH.

It seems very ridiculous for any
Pacific coast newspaper to speak slight
ingly of Henry George. When Mr..
George was a journalist in California,
hardly known beyond the State, it was
perfectly in keeping with the surround
ings for his contemporaries to ridicule
him. The Bulletin did it persistently,
as has long been it's habit in dealing
with men it cannot successfully meet in
debate. Now the case is different. Mr..
George has passed beyond the sphere Of
feeble envy and belittleing malice, and
in the language Of the worldly the world
Is his oyster. He has written book
which has placed him at bound in the
rank of the leading thinkers of two
continents, not alone taking his place
among the living but the dead. He
has shattered the fallacies Of two hum
dred years growth, and by unanswera-
bic logic solved questions of political
economy which have long detied the
reasoning of the most learned and
thoughtful. His book has been trans
lated into several languages, and yet
when he comes back to this coast ON a
visit, instead of extending the hand of
welcome, the Bulletin, Enterprise and
Stock Report sneer at his success.

THE MATCHLESs DOOLIN.

The Sentinel suggested the other day
that the last Legislature was being
killed off alphabetically. The Virginia
Chronicle takes issue with US because
Senator Doolin has been spared. After
quoting the remarks of the Sentinel, the
Chronicle jokes the Senator as follows:
And what of Dooiin-Doolin the re-
sonant, the matches? 1t is not diff
cult to understand why Death should
skip with his scythe an orator who has
on more than one occasion saved the
State from an Indian war by his sooth-
ing elOquence and furnished employ
ment to worthy mechanics by making
repairs to the plastering of the Senate
Chamber necessary, but Doolin stands
living and glorious proof Of the un-
soundness of the alphabetical theury of
PrOvidence's plan Of vengeance upon
the late Legislature. Can it he that
DOolin's continued existence is intended
as a stern rebuke to the giant railroad
monopoly, compared by the Unapproach-
able DUOlin to an octopus EMBEDDING this
State in its bOa-like tolls, and sinking
its tiger f;lngs with woltish ferocity into
the breast OF the Battle-born? Perhaps
this explains the neglect Of Providence
to remove DOolin.
Doolin, like Napoleon, is protected by
mysterious fate. He is singularly tie
child of fortune. He is about the only
man in the State with anti-railroad
ideas who has succeeded in getting
etfice. An opponent of the Central
Pacific who can get elected in Nevada
must have some supernatural backing
not accorded to the common run q
candidates.

A SENSIBLE DECISION.

Judge Sawyer, Of California, has re.
Gently rendered decision to the effect
that corporations, firms, or private in
dividuals cannot pass upon thfx tight
eousness or amount of an ASSESSMENT
for taxes and so withhold the money
demanded, and enjoy the use of it until
their refusal shall be passed upon by the
courts. Their duty is, and they must,
pay the money demanded. They may
then bring suits if they choose. This
has always been the rule with common
people. 1t is only railroad and mining
corporations who have claimed and en-
joyed exemption from the rule. This
decision of Judge Sawyer is eminently
just aud proper.
The Leader in commenting on the ar
ticle published by the APPEAL relative
to the thimble rigging business in
Sierra Nevada says: Whether the ar
ticle is true or not it is certain that the
mine has been the favorite gamble with
miners of Eureka, who claim to get the
cae from friends working in the mine
for years. Their favorite expression is,
"Sell the last single off your house,
but hang onto your Sierra Nevada. It
is bound to go the front in time" On
the other hand the Virginia Chronicle
says that the Superintendent and
others on the inside claim there is not,
and has not been, any ore developed in
the mine, and that there is no imme-
diate likelihood of any being shown up
soon, and expresses its endorsement of
this bear view Of the north-end sit.

THE NATIONAL CAPITAL.

Guiteau's TriaI-A Motion for Postpone
 ment Denied-The Presidents Return
 From New York-Other Matters.
 WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.-In the criminal court to day, Judge Cox decided that the mo- could not be granted unless there was 8 con- currence of counsel on both sides. In regard to the motion to instruct the District attorney to deliver to Guiteau's counsel certain papers, Judge Cox said that in consultation yester. day with the District attorney and MT. Rob- inson, the District attorney offered to furnish any papers that he had for the inspection of counsel He did not see that the court could give any order for the production of papers that might be evidence on the part of the prosecution. On that score, however, there would be no difficulty.
 Mr. Brewster argued to-day before Judge Cox in favor of letting the information against the Star routes stand. Colonel Enoch Totten will make the closing argu- ment for the defense. He is lively speaker. He is expected to occupy the entire day. It is generally thought now that the court will set the information aside.
 Hon. Lionel Sackville West has officially communicated to the State department his dfI1VdI DuL AO Ooy 415 OOCA oCo 4OI tAAO pIO- sentation of his credentials as the British minister on account of the uncertainty when the President and Secretary Blaine will re- turn.
 President Arthur will return from New York tomorrow. Secretary Blaine and Post master General James will come with him. Secretary Hunt will be absent for week longer. Chauncey J. Tilley, postmaster at St. Louis, is writing to see the President. and it is reported that he will be appointed to succeed Postmaster General James when the latter retires.
 It is the opinion at the Bureau of the Comptroller of the Currency that the Newark bank will certainly pay depositsrs sixty per cent, and that it is quite probable that it may pay in full. Payment in full depends upon the recovery of about $500, ,OO0 from Nugent, which is thought probable.

Leasing of a Railroad by the New Yor1

and New Eng land Company.
 The New York and New England railroad company has effected lease of the Norwalk and Danbury road, which it wants for the transportation of freight to and from New York. Its through western freight will come over the Erie to Fishkin where the two roads connect but New York freight, in cluding what it can obtain from the Pennsyl- vania road, can be given more direct trans portation to the main line by going over the Norwalk and Danbury and for the re- mainder of the way by steamboat. One inn portant feature of the new arrangement is that the New York and New England has made contract with the Iron Steamboat company of New York to run two of their steamboats daily between Bells Island (Nor- walk) or immediate vicinity and New York. This, of course, involves the extension of the Norwalk and Danbury road from South Nor walk to the shore. It is stated that the man. agers of the Consolidated road went to Dan- bury last week for the purpose of leasing the Norwalk and Danbury, but found that the New York and New England had got ahead of them in the matter It is in accordance with the new arrangement that R. P. Flower re- signed the presidency of the Norwalk and Danbury and James W. Hyatt of Norwalk was elected his successor.
 The trains on the New York and New Eng land road will commence running from Fish kill on the Hudson river opposite Newbergh Monday morning at ten o'clock, and will er- rive at Boston at half-past six in the evening. A transfer steamer will run across the river to Newbergh, where a connection will be made with the Erie branch road. It is ex- pected that a large amount of coal will be carried over the road, benefting Waterbury, Hartford and other places along the line.
