AN OLD DEMOCRAT PROTESTS.

u. U. Shattuck, of Sonoma, is one of the
former District Judges of this State, and &C.
cupied the Bench in San Francisco. He is
leading old.time Democrat; q man of un-
questioned integrity, of acknowledged ability
and is a sound lawyer. Judge Shattuck is
an aged man, and his views command the
respect, that many years of experience in
active life, close study and ability deserve.
Ihe Judge has positive views on the action
OF the Democratic Convention at San Jose
regarding tie Sunday law, and these are
puolshed IN letter to the Bulletin of the
l4th inst, from which these extracts are
made: -
CONFESS myself disappointed and mortir ed by the
act OF the late Convention in making the repeal OF
the SUNDAY TAR distinct issue The rceeal Of
that law had not been question before the reonle
anywhere, except San Francisco, and not even tbere
except by two excited factions and not seriosslv

from any county, to my knowledge, was elected IN

naturally Democratic doctrine. l consider its in
PRODUCTION an unfortunate mistake and fire. brand
for evil showing much more courage than 4iscr,-
ton. II means mischief and cannot be sustained
without division of the party.
The law known as the Sunday lac having never
as to its policy expediency and proprety been gen.
orally discussed before the people, was improperly
brought before the Convention
II the repeal of said law is persisted in as Demo
cratic doctrine during the coming campaign, 1.-THE
party will be divided not beaten at the polls
will in my judgment deserve defeat.
That the law is not sumptuary, is not uncenstitu-
tiona nor unjust, oppressive nor fanatical, nor
unwise; but on the contrary, MAINTAIN that it is
the reverse of all ths-a WISE conservative and just
law, which, if properly enforced, will be found
among our laws most efficient in promoting the
peace, prosperity and happiness of the whole people,
and that il should not be repealed.
There will be found no difficulty in enforcing
constitutional conservative law when the people
more fully understand its object and its advantages.

In wasco county, Oregon, south of Fifteen-mile
creek, nearly half the growing crops have been de.
stroyed by grssshoppers. But there is dull-blue
gray fly that follows the grasshopper and fights
him. These insects stay with them, and when the
hopper flies, dart at it and fasten under the wings
greatly retarding its fight. According to the best
observations which could be made the lArvs de.
posted by the fly upon the soft, thin membranous
spot under the wing Immediately pierces the mem
brane, entering the body of the hopper and remains
until full grown, eating from the substance of it.
Sometimes as many as five or six are found upon
opening the body OF the hopper. These Larvae are
carried about until the whole body is eaten out OF
the hopper dies by their ravages. Upon the death
of the hopper the larva crawls out and enters the
ground to become in due time fly again

Memory.

Old Autumn, thou art here! Upon the earth
AND In the heavens the signs Of death are hung;
For Ger the earth's brown breast stalks pale de-
decay,
And mong the lowering clouds the wild winds
And, signing sadly, shout the solemn dirge
Ger summers farest flowers, all faded now.
The winter god, descending from the skies,
Has reached the mountain tops, and decked their
brOws
With sglitserng frosty crowns. and eatned his
Among the trumpet pines, that herald forth
bis coming.

Before the driving blast
me mountain oak bows down his hoary head,
And nlngs his withered locks to the rough gales
That hercely roar among his branches bare,
Uplifted to the dark, Implying heavens.
!he skies nave put their mourning garments on
And hung their funeral drapery on the clouds
Dead nature will soon wear hep shrouls OF SNOW,
And lie entombed in winters icy grave,
Thus passes life. As heavy age comes on,
The joys OF youth-bright beauties OF the spring
Grow dim and faded, and the long. dark night
VI deaths chill winter comes. But as the spring
Rebuilds the ruins OF winters waste,
And cheers the gloomy earth with Joyous light,
So Ger the tomb the star OF hope shallris
And usher In an ever-during day.

Improvement of the Mississippi.

Ihe last Congress appropriated about six
million dollars for the Improvement of the
Mississippi. OF course, that vast sum. II
properly expended, will ''improve" the
great river somewhat, but It is likely to be OF
very little permanent benefit. In fact Con-
gress might appropriate an equal amount
next year, and the next year, and SO on for
dozen years, and still the mad waters of
the Mississippi would be only partially under
control and the channel remain treacherous
and unsatisfactory. The father of waters.

point some miles above Cairo to the Gulf

plain hundreds Of miles wide, through which
1t may wander at its own sweet will. When
rise comes, the majestic river goes where
It plesses and does as It pleases. Farms

natural objects, except the towering bluffs.
are as children's playthings in the hands of
giant. The substance OF all reliable
reports regarding work thus far done
to contne the river to certain limits and
keep it there is that the ietties or reyete-
ments constructed are all right "unless
changes should occur In the direction of the
channel" or words to that effect. Ooserva-
tion has shown that these changes are almost
certain to come sooner or later-usually
very soOn-and the rushing waters sweep
away the work OF years, costing millions. in
their resistless course. The Eads ietties
have 30 far proved an exception; but
what are they In comparison
with the prodigious fcheme pro-
posed for improving the Mississippi
from st. Louis TO Cairo and on down to the
Gulf The cost of "deepening the channel
and giving permanency to the banks'' be-
tween st. Louis and the mouth OF the Me-
rance, twenty miles below, already reaches
nearly fifty thousand dollars mile. AID
it is no exsggeration to say that for the
whole distance billion dollars mighg easily
be xpsnded-honestlV expended, too-and
the improvements then be left In a doubtful
state Of DermanencY.

Special dispatches to the Ttnes-iStar ssv:
REPORTS from the Twelfth Congressional
district show that Hart, Rep, is elected by

that McKinly, Rep, is elected by ma

The best information relating to the result
OF the vote on Congressman gives the Re :

Keller in the Eighth, Robinson in the
Ninth, Mccormick in the Eleventh, Upde-
GRAFT in the Seventeenth, and Taylor in the

favor OF the Democratic candidates. An
official count will be required to get at the
truth.
