THE CALrroRNTA COUSIN.

Sydney Standish was at her writing
desk, and this is what she was writing:
"Dear Mr.. Melville: have been

Sydney Standish folded, enveloped the
letter, laughing to herself all the time.
Then abe ran to the glass, shook her
brown hair into order and tripped down
to the parlor. A demIre but rather pref

'Syd! you never have been 90 reckless"

ward her.

"Now, don't you worry, you dear, good

growing first pale and then red. "He

Sydney was unaccountably silent that
day and the next. There was no help
for 1t, she thought. Melville would
think her bold, silly girl for writing to
somebody she had never seen, and who
had always been looked upon as Sally's
particular property.
She pored over the photograph.

Immigration.

Last year there were landed in the
United States seven hundred thousand
aliens, this number exceeding that OF the
previous year by about one quarter OF a
million. Up to the first Of the month
the arrivals at the port of New York
alone, since the beginning of the year,
have been two hundred and twenty
eight thousand, an excess of fifty thous-
and over the figures for the correspond
ing period of last year. More than
ninety thousand immigrants landed at
Castle Garden during the month OF May.
The total amount of immigration to this
country during the present year will be
enormous, and very much in excess OF
that Of previous years. If immigration
continues in this ratio, by the end OF
the century there will not be many peo-
pie left in some European countries.

DISCUSSION of the situation in Ireland
is still going on in the House of Com
mons, but it is impossible to forecast the
result. One day We are told that the
Irish members and the ministry are
about to effect compromise; then we
are informed that any hope of a satisfac-
tory arrangement is impossible. The
more the matter is debated the more
bitter become the speeches on both
sides. Mr.. Healy on one side and Sir
William Vernon Harcourt on the other
are the most frequent speakers, and the
speeches are sometimes anything but
courteous.

HOFFENSTEIN'S SURPRISE.
A Colored Citizen Possessed of Re
markable Pedal Extremities.
New Orleans Times Democrat. !


A negro, with nothing but a ragged

at some shoes.

The platform of the Democratic State
Convention is one of which the party
may well feel proud, and which COM
mends itself to all Californians who
really desire the prosperity of the State.
The immutable truths underlying the
time honored principles of American
Democracy have been affirmed again,
and there is no installing the ring OF
the challenge now resounding from San
Diego to Siskiyou. This war cry, like
the Norman war-song before Hastings,
is the harbinger of victory, for
.Truth crushed to earth shall rise again
The eternal years of God are hers
and the people, remembering what is
due to the good old party under which
we're laid the sure foundations OF the
States prosperity, will show by its ver-
dict that it is grateful for services
which have made the nation also what
it is to-day, and that, atulally, it looks
to the Democracy as its only protection
from the ills it suffers.
No Californian can doubt that to the
heroic persistency Of Democratic MI
nority in Congress the commonwealth
owes what slight relief from the Chinese
evil has been wrung from an unwilling
Republican majority, and in spite OF the
unjust exercise of their perrogative by
two Republican Presidents of the United
States, no Californian is unaware that
the safety of our children in the land
that God gave to our fathers depends
upon the exclusion of the Chinese, and
that solely under Democratic rule can
this be accomplished.
There is no workingman in California
who can fail to see in the principles set
forth at San Jose tho simple statement
of his needs, and a promise on which
reason teaches him he may implicitly
rely. Nor can he fail to remember that
it is the party actually in power which
has created and now fosters the monop-
olies expressing us all alike.
The other planks are equally COM
mendable. In short, there is nothing in
the Democratic platform not german to
the condition Of the State and the ma
ton, nothing to which an honest man
and good citizen can not assent readily,
nothing which he can not conscientious
" ratify by his vote. And, whoever
the men may be whom the convention
may select to uphold and vindicate
those principles, of one thing the public
viii be assured. They will be men
whose records are free from the shadow
of a blemish, men whose characters,
ike that of the wife of Caesar, are above
and beyond suspicion. To such as
these Jefferson was wont to entrust the
management Of the affairs OF the people,
such as these the people loves to honor.
There has been enough of the misrule
of party without principles other than
that of public plumbers The municipal
elections which have recently taken
place in different parts of the State suf-
fc;ently indicate the wish Of the people
for change. We are convinced that,
on the platform presented by the San
Jose Convention, and under the leader
ship of the men who will be nominated
there, the Democratic party will carry
the State at the coming election, even
against all the voluntary contribu-
lions" which will be lavishly used by
the opposing party.

We believe that our city can justly
claim the honor of the first conviction OF
an "opium fiend," although similar
conviction was had in Visalia almost
simultaneously. There not only the
keeper Of the "joint," but two women
who were taken in the practice were
convicted and punished. That the au'
thorities of Los Angeles are determined
to prosecute the holy crusade is matter
Of public congratulation. As will ap
pear from our police report the keeper
of another "joint was arrested yester
day and will undoubtedly receive
merited punishment in the City Court
In this particular the law cannot be too
severely administered.

The cabalistic o. X. was first officially
used by Old Keokuk, the pacific chief of
the Sacs and Foxes. When he sold
Iowa to Uncle Sam he signed the deed
with his initials. His co-chief, the fiery
B. H. BLACK Hawk refused to sell or
sign away the rights of his people to
this beautiful land, and hence the
''Black Hawk war;" Old Keokuk years
ago passed on to the happy hunting
grounds of the Great Beyond, but his
sign continues to supply along-felt want

Mr.. SECRETARY CHANDLER was dined
in Boston the other day, and, of course,
made speech, in which he alluded
feelingly to our almost utter lack of a
navy, and asserted that we could not
possibly go to war with the ships we
have. This is true, but it is not proba-
BILE that we shall need navy for such a
purpose. As long as Mr.. Chandler and
Mr.. Robson occupy their present posi-
tons, however, it is not likely that we
shall get any navy.

done, but his arguments were of no

An East Boston father discovered that
his daughter, who has soul for romance,
proposed to elope, and he didn't sit up
with bull dog and shotgun to waylay
the fugitives. Oh, no! He went to his
daughter and told her he desired her to
marry young man, naming her lover,
and he would set him up in a good pay
ing grocery business; and the young
lady at once declared she'd die rather
than marry any man just to please her

We beg leave to offer to our City
Council the following suggestion con-
corning the fountain in the plaza. On
two or three occasions since the begin
ming of the year small children would
have been drowned therein but for the
timely aid rendered to them by persons
who happened to be in the neighbor-
hood at the time. Would it not be well
to fill up the basin of the fountain until
the water shall be so shallow that no
danger need be apprehended?

A Horse That Could Steal,
London Figaro.l

One evening the officer on guard hear
ing noise in the stables, concluded that
horse most have got loose. He there
fore went with corporal and, looking
through a keyhole, saw an old troop
horse lifting up the lid of the corn bin
and munching away at the oats. The
officer ratified the door by mistake. The
old charger instantly cooked his ears,
stole back to his stall, artfully slipped
his head back into his halter, sand
awaited events. The officer and corporal
pretending to be deceived, after look
ing round the stables, went out again.
So soon, however, as the horse heard
the lock turned upon them he slipped
his halter and attacked the corn bin
again. After this the crafty old warrior
was firmly secured.
