BLINDED BY A BOOT HEEL.
DRIVEN INSANE.

Tommy Upg Stang, Chinaman
who WAS steward on the vessel,
was sick one day and told the cap
tain he could not work. The cap
tain then took him by the hair aud
dragged him out of his bunk and
beat him with knotted ropes, after
which he stamped on him and left
him lying senseless. He was
taken to another place to lie, the
captain refusing TO allow him to be
placed back in his old bunk. The
Chimamen kept his bed for the
rest of the voyage, and was often
heard to cry. While lying off
Wilmington the Chinaman was
found lying In the hold OF the iron
rails. his head being crushed and
bleeding and the iron wet with
blood. It was not known how he
came to be in the hold. When he
recovered consciousness he was
crazy, and was brought to our Jail
and kept In confinement till he
was taken to tire Napa Insane
Asylum last Friday by Deputy

ARREST OF THE CAPTAIN.

The Gatherer arrived in the har.
bOr of San Francisco on Tuesday,
and as soon as she cast anchor
Deputy u. S. Marshal Favor pro.
cesded on board armed with q
warrant for the arrest Of Captain
Sparks. The Captain took the in
formation that he was wanted
very coolly, and at first refused to
recognize the officer or his author
ity. But other parties coming on
board, he submitted to their ad-
vice and proceeded ashore with the
Deputy, who locked him up. On
his way to the prison the Captain
declined to make any explanation
of the conduct of his subordinates,
being content to heap maledictions
upon their heads, and accusing
them generally of being devils in
carnate. He finally admitted hav.
ing the worst mates that he had
ever seen or heard of. Arrived at
the prison the Captain was es-
corted to cell in murderers' row.

There is no denying that the
first session of the Forty-seventh
congress, which has just adjourn
ed has as many blunders to an
swer for as any that have pre-
ceded it. In the matter of ap-
propfiatihg moneyit exceeds the
Forty-sixth congress $4,000.
600 with little to show for it. It
increased appropriations where
ever it could, and was reckless in
every respect. The comments of
the Philadelphia Times are ap-
propriate and are produced below:
'1t was one of the longest seq
sioas upon..record. and altogether
the most Improbable and dis.
graceful. 1t produced no single
measure, OF public value, no legis.
latiOn at all except what was es-
sentially dishonest, and it has left
undone everything of Importance
that called for action. 1t is an
n0ylng to think that this country
must endure another session from
this congress-though it cannot
be prolonged beyond three
months-but it will be more than
that, 1t will. be disheartning, If
the November elections do not
make sweeping change In the
membership and character of the
house."

The interviewer in France.

Formerly every contributor to paper
had his place, but he felt that not only
his personal reputation, but that of the
paper also, was on his shoulders. There
was a certain discipline, a sense of honor
and of serious responsibility. Now all
this is changed. Wealthy patronage, or
a lucky hit made by one article, is
enough to introduce a recruit to the po-
sition, which, as Nj. Alphonse Karr has
graphically told us, was hard enough to
acquire and keep in old days. Special
aptitude for special subjects is a tradi-
ton of the past. Rep0rtage is indeed an
easy enough employment, as to which

MIDGETS BED TIME.

Has anybody seen little Midget
Who always works herself into fidget
When .d-tlme comes? She doesn't ike TO go
With other brides to the nest. Oh, no!
A But when her little nightie unfold;
This little Midget then begins TO scold.
And makes with tiny feet in. the poor floor
hole, where she stands stamping Ger ana
DER.
Midget no do to bed.' she cries; ah me,
How naughty little girls can sometimes be!
In vain point to where the stars are peeping,
To see if little Midget sweet is sleeping;
In vain say the birdie are in bed:
She only shakes her curly golden head:
Midget no seepy! Mamma. pease do way!
And now. dear me! the night has come again:
I've searched for Bapy Midget all in vain.
Where can she be? I've looked beneath the
chair:
No! baby is too wise to hide her there
Under the table? No! Where can she be?
VIII some one find the truant wee for me?
Here is the little nigktie clean and white,
Waiting to be slipped DER the head so bright.
The airy chariot waits my little ore
To bear her to the Land of Nod. The sun
Has shone good night to all on earth, and
To bed my Midget surely ought to go.
But where is she? Can anybody tell?
We've hunted for the baby long and well!
Ah what is this-this little silent bunch
Behind the bed, all lying in a hunch,
And lips from which the naughty pout has
fled?
Only the lOng-lost Midget, found at last
Already by the Sandman's power held fast;
For while she hid away from me and night,
Behold the dropping lids soft and white
Grew heavy with the silence, and fell down
Over the wllful eyes of misty brown:
And thus my Midget with the birds has gone
To Land of Nod, to stay until the dawn.
