DocToR HAMILTON, in giving his opinion
upon The insanity Of Guiteau and other ILL
balanced knaves who have allowed vicious
tendencies and violent temper to grow
unrestrained, says; Bad vicious conduct
may just as well become chronic as good
conduct 1t is matter eroftemperamenta of and
training, the latter being Of more impor-
tance than the first Guiteau found all his
life that people would not punish him for
petty swindling or for immortality, and he
went on from bad 10 worse simply because
he was not stopped before His conduct
since his arrest shows no signs of insanity,
but points unerringly to the conclusion
that he is one Of that large class Of vicious
but perfectly responsible persons whose
disregard of the decencies of life, and dis
eased vanity should have been stamped
out by wholesome discipline long ago.
Herbert Spencer is perfectly right in say
ing that with many children punishment
is the only true method and kindness the
mistaken one. Spencer says that if any
young child bites or inflicts physical pain,
it should be made 10 feel pain Of the same
character. Misdirected intellectual correc-
tion is often useless, but one or two whole
some lessons given TO the viciously inclined
child win avert much subsequent suffer
ing. Vicious persons, whether adults or
children, believe should be punished in
proportion to their misdeeds. A child may
fly into passion whenever it is laughed at,
or commit some purposeless, vicious act.
The weak point in its mind is evidently
hereditary, and some over-tender moralists
might say that as such the child is no more
responsible for the weakness of flying into
a passion when laughed at than an idiot is
10 be blamed for not being able to reason
1t should be tenderly counseled- Never
fheless, the right treatment is to overcome
byrigid discipline the peculiar eccentricity
in the. child at once, for the child's sake,
for socie.y's sake, and for the sake of the
child's children 1t may be, and doubtless
is, fact that thousands of children who
have had some such weakness have grown
up without conspicuous trace of insane
heritage about them, il having been rub
bed out or has died out for want of proper
environment for an unhealthy growth. But
1t might have been otherwise, and devel-
oped into that form of ungovernable rage
or egregfous vanity which some eccentric
persons exhibit to the extent of taking the
law into their own hands"

The Hon Roswell G.. Horr, from
Michigan, who spoke on the above topic at
the Congregational Church, Monday even
ing, is well-known as an able, practical,
clear-headed Congressman, who, by his
ready humor and direct, incisive way Of
putting things, has won for himself the
reputation Of popular speaker. Mr.. Horr
has unquestioned talent and good sense
upon, most subjects, and his lecture was
entertaining, racy, and stimulatiye in
many ways, but he certainly does not ex-
pect the good people of Wellington to en-
dorse and enjoy all he says concerning
things held sacred by believers in Chris
tianityf Not that the genuine faith is
going TO be tarnished by any of his asper-
sions thrown upon it either in fun or
otherwise, but Mr. Horr should label his
sarcasm and not let his own intelligence
be impeached by want of discrimination
in some of his hearers. Bob IngersolPs

so much Greek to the little boys who did
the shelf p of the applauding after it was
started, and reflected the genuine senti-
ments of but small portion Of the audi
ence.
There were no bears to hunt in this
vicinity, and 1t was mere practicing at a
mark at which any Of the average clergy
men could afford to laugh as well as any,
when the ministry was set up for target.
Thst part would do very well as being
suggestive to very young ministers, Tor
whom II was doubtless designed, or as q
burlesque upon some Of earlier times; for,
as Mr. Horr must know If he has any ex-
1ensiTe acquaintance in this profession,
the people win not long tolerate a preacher
who is not abreast with the age. He is

of topics and general outline of the style

filed the promise made in his opening re-
marks, that he was going to say the most

During his recent trip to the Adj

Mass, purchased stone monument
which was found twenty-eight years
ago in the township of Saranac. The
monument is about three and a half
feet long by one foot wide. and when
found was facing the east, and about
half its length embedded in the earth.
On the monument are strange cha ac-
ters, which are said to resemble those
found on ancient PhRnieian monu-

was above the surface of the earth when
found is much worn, apparently by the
storms of centuries, while the part that
was below the surface has sharp cor

the annual meeting of the National
Women's Suffrage Convention held
in Washington City, Mrs. Stanton
announced that the first memorial
service in honor Of the late Mrs.
Lucretia Mott, one of the pioneers
in the cause OF universal suffrage.
The platform upon which the mem
bers of the convention were seated
was tastefully decorated with the
American colors and a portrait OF the
deceased imbedded in smilax.
The hall was filled to its utmost Ca
pacity, the audience being composed
principally of ladies, and the proceed
inss were marked by solemity be-
fiting the nature of the occasion.
When all had been comfortably seat
cd. Miss Phoebe Cozzens arose and
asked the audience to join in silent
invocation out Of respect to Mrs.
Motifs creed, she being Quakeress.
This was followed by dirge, render

then pronounced e eulogy upon the
deceased, in which she referred to
her efforts in the cause of humanity,
her moral worth and independence
of character.

WITH the Chinese the lily is the
national flower, and many supersti-
tions attach to it. Should it blos-
som upon New Years Day it is re-
garded as most happy omen, bring
ing the best luck to the fortunate
owner of the plant. For this reason
q good deal Of care is bestowed upon
the lily by the Cinnamon, in the
hope that it may put forth its flower
upon the morning of their great an
niversary. The Chinese lily is
different from any other variety. 1t
is grown by placing the bulb on bits
of window glass, stone and china,
and giving it a liberal supply Of
water. The flower is white, with a
gold-colored centre, something be,
tween a daisy and narcissus. Its
fragrance is delightful. There is
scarcely Chinese house or shop il
San Francisco without its lily, while
it also adorns the residences of man,
white families.

WHAT FINALLY PERSUADED THE
MuLE.-A gaant and wicked-looking
mule belonging to a countryman
balked in River street yesterday
afternoon, and the usual crowd gath
cred to offer advice and suggest
plans for moving the animal. Var
ious expedients were tried, such as
twisting his tail and putting dirt into
his eyes, ears and mouth; but he
retained his composure and refused
to notice the treatment of the opera.

about to build q fire under him,
when a saloon-keepsr in the neigh
borhood offered to bet S. that he
could make him "get," and there
being no takers, concluded to do it
lust for the sake of showing his
knowledge of mules. He took from
his pocket q flask of River-street
"tanglefoot" and poured a little into
the passive mules mouth. In q
second afterward there was blank
astonishment in every feature of that
animals countenance, and the next
instant he bumped himself and shot
down the street as if with the intent
of eclipsing /" st. Julien's" record.
The owner watched him for a
moment, and then, turning to the
bottle holder, said: Mister, it

A POET in the New York Commerce
ial Adrertiser gives her sorrow words
in the following tender lines
I dreamt that thou didsI love me.
And called me all thine own,

dreamt that thou didsI love me-.
And called me all thine own,"
But cloud has passed above me,
And my dream OF love has flown.
This should teach you, darling, to
bear in mind that dreams are not to
be depended upon, and that when a
great, greedy fellow chuckles over
You because you are "all his own, -
like o gluttonous small boy with a
whole mince pie, the sooner he flies
the better. We infer, by the way,
that your "dream of love" didn't
have an umbrella with it, which may
account for it's flying away at first
sight of the cloud that passed above
you.

Scenes OfDeSOlutiOn.
Effects Of the Flood in California
Sacramento Bee, Feb. 7th

Sacramento Bee, Feb. 7th.
The scenes tc be- Witnessed along
the banks of the Sacramento River
surpnss any of a similar nature which
have been inflicted by floods since
the settlement of his State by whites.
There are more men and women,
more children, more homes, more
stock, finer fields and orchards and
4 more extensive range of levees
subject to the devastating influence
Of the floods at the present time
than there we're in 81 and '62, and
Q ,nsequently much more discomfort
and proportionate loss. From for
above Colusa to the extremity of
Sherman Island, where the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin rivers form
a junction, a vast system OF letess
have been nearly wiped out, and it
is doubtful if the attempt to restore
them will be made, until the debris
problem is settled, the river channel
cleared of it's mountains Of mud or
an additional outlet to the sea Great
ed.
The situation in and about Wash
ington is deplorable in the extreme,
and hourly becoming worse. The
break which occurred on the lower
end of the Hoagland lsvee continued
to increase in width throughout Sat-
urday night and yesterday, all efforts
at saving any portion of the levee
extending along the front OF the
town being abandoned on Saturday
evening. With the exception of
here and there a lump of earth stick
ing up out of the water in front of
the Hoagland property, there is no
leves to be seen between the town
and the upper end of what was the
Todhunter levee-the river flowing
across the country in one broad
sheet Of water, leaping and tearing
its way down through the town with
the force and mercilessness Of q
mountain torrent. Houses, barns,
fences, etc., have continued to be
swept away until what is left OF the
railroad embankment has become
piled up with r'ass of boards, tim
bers, furniture, etc., in one common
wreck. The work Of removing from
the ill-fAted town was continued
throughout yesterday, the railroad
embankment and the sidewalks on
the high grade having been pretty
much relieved of the furniture and
other household goods temporarily
stored thereon. Boats were plying
in all directions, visiting such fami-
lies as still remained in their houses,
and affording whatever relief was
required. This was no easy matter,
as the water swept through the
streets and trees with great force,
forming numerous strong currents,
whirlpools and eddies, making boat
ing both difficult and dangerous.
