Wild Girls.
IGail lIamilton.l

Wildness is thing which girls cannot
afford. Delicacy is thing which cannot
be lost or found No art can restore to
the grape its bloom. Familiarity with
out confidence, without regard, is de-
structive to all that makes woman ex-
alting and ennobling. 1t is the first
duty of woman to be lady. Good
breeding is good sense. Bad manners in
a woman is immortality. Awkwardness
may be ineradicable. Bashfulness is
constitutional. Ignorance of etiquette
is the result of circumstances. All can
be condoned and not Danish men or
women from the amenities of their kind
But self possessed, unshrinking and ag-
gressive coarseness of demeanor may be
reckoned as States prison offense, and
certainly merits that mild form of re-
straint called Imprisonment for life.
1t is a shame for women to be lectured
on their manners. 1t is bitter shame that
they need it. Do not be restrained. Do
not have impulses that need restraint.
Do not wish to dance with the Prince
unsought; feel differently. Be sure you
confer honor. Carry yourself so loftily
that men will look up to you for reward,
not at you in rebuke. The natural senti-
ment of man toward woman is rever-
ence. He loses large means of grace
when he is obliged to account her as a
being to be trained in propriety. A mans
ideal is not wounded when woman fails
in worldly wisdom; but if in grace, in
tact, in sentiment, in delicacy, in kind
ness, she would be found wanting, he re-
ceives an inward hurt.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1882-05-31

he succeeded in getting there, while it
is more than possibility that one or
both might be defeated. Blaine's re-
tirement from public life has much
greater elements of consolation and dig
nifty about it than those which attach
to Conkling's. By far the larger portion
of the Republican party look upon the
Plumed Knight as a martyr to tho
stalwart ascendancy which was brought
about by the bullet of Guiteau. Conk-
ling, on the other hand, has but lin
tied amount of the public sympathy.
With a cynicism that many public
man has encountered before him, the
general verdict is that if man has a
right to make fool of himself it also
involves the right upon the part OF the
masses tol be Indifferent to his fate.
From different motives it would be the
height of rashness for either to expose
himself to the chances of rebuff from
single Congressional constituency, and
each is probably keenly aware of that

THE Webfoot State will this year blow
the first blast upon the political bugle
horn, and its echoes will be awaited
with good deal of interest by the peo-
pie of this Coast. A Governor, State
officers and a Congressman are to be
elected there. Oregon has always been
a closely balanced State, politically. OF
late she has been the beneficiary OF q
good deal of immigration from the East,
a preponderance of which, it is claimed,
is Republican in politics. We shall not
have long to wait for the judgment of
that much baptized community, as the
election comes off next Tuesday. If
Oregon fails to register sweeping DEM
ocratic victory, in the light of the events
which have thronged upon each others
heels since the second of last July, we
shall not only be disappointed but sur
prised. There is nothing, however, like
having something to base Judgment
upon, whether it is for or against one,
and Oregon will furnish some data for
the political quid nuncs.

Measures Not Men.

There has been entirely too much
talk about men in the speculations as to
the action of the approaching San Jose
Convention. 1t is true that this is al
most unavoidable from the great num-
ber of offices to be filed this Fall, and
the consequent multiplying of candi-
dates. 1t would be far more profitable
to devote the time which intervenes be-
fore its assembling to deyising a wise
and statesmanlike presentation OF the
issues of our current politics. This year
the party will not, if it ever does, derive
its strength from the personnel of the
ticket. We of course assume that CON-
petent and respectable men will receive
the party honors. The Democratic par
ty owes its strength in this State to-day
largely to the fact that, on the Chinese
issue, it has been true to the aspirations
Of the people of the Pacific Coast. 1t
has also been greatly helped by the
scandals of the administration of Gov
ernor Perkins, and by the rapidly in
tensifying conviction that the Repub-
lican party has been already too long in
control of the government for the public
veal. A wise and skillful presentation
of the debris and sumptuary law ques-
tions is imperatively called for, together
with comprehensive assertion of the
essential principles of Democratic gov
ernment at the national capital. The
pendulum has swung too far one way in
our national politics; and, without dig
ging out the Virginia and Kentucky res
olutions of '9S, California Democratic
State Convention ought to have much to
say which would not meet the approba-
ton of the Conklings, Camerons and
Robesons of the day. We may rest
pretty well assured that, when the Con-
vention meets, the candidates, in person
or by their friends, will be there to at
tend to their own concerns. The great
danger is that what is no.
body's business in particular-th
making of ringing and mastery
platform-may be altogether neglected.
There has never been better time in
the history Of California politics for the
construction of consummately effective
document of this kind than now. The
very air is pregnant with suggestions,
and it is difficult to say whether our
local or national issues are the most ex.
igent. Particularly should all proper
changes be rung upon the great labor
keynote, which has lately begun to vi.
brate so sonorously in the East, through
the agitation of the Chinese question.

CALIFORNIA TROUT.

Shad
New York Sun.


Twenty-Five members of the New
York Association for the protection o
Game and Fish met at Pinards las
evening for the last time this Sring. Mr.
r. Barnwell Roosevelt presided. Ii
his speech he compared Eastern
trout with Western trout. He i:
of the opinion that the trout which have
been brought from the McCloud river
are different from those known as the
California mountain trout. He unrolled
big bundle of trout and spread them
on the table in front of him. The Nc
Cloud river trout had more vivid red
mark, and they only, Mr.. Roosevelt
said, ought to be termed rainbow trout.
He also showed hybrid trout, cross
between the larger male lake trout and
the smaller female brook trout.
"There is no use," President Roose-
velt continued, Sin trying to restock the
played-out trout brooks in the East with
Eastern brook trout-the conditions ol
trout life are wanting-but the Califor.
MIA brook trout might be put in Eastern
brooks. They are so tough that they
would live. They grow much faster
too, and will endure handling. As {
table fish their quality is excellent

stocking of Eestern brooks with thes,

that they smash fishing tackle amply

Mr.. Roosevelt spoke bitterly of tn,
failure to appropriate money for carry
ing on the fish hatchery. State FISH

cd to turn the States money to raising

it pity to destroy the 1000, 600 eggs o

A Curious Perhaps"

The San Francisco Chronicle has late
ly found out that Grant has lost a good
deal of his influence and popularity.
Most people had discovered that long
ago. However it may be with the deus
er machina of the Chronicle, probably
all its staff of reporters knew it before
Grant had been two hours on California
soil, after his return from Asia. There
was absolutely no excuse for anybody s
being ignorant of it after the result Of
the Chicago Convention. There has
been great deal of vaunting about the
BOG votes which Grant received in that
body. Whilst amongst his partizans
there were unquestionably many men
who acted from misguided but honorable
motives, by far the greater portion OF
that vote would not bear analysis. The
delegations of Pennsylvania and New
York were procured for Grant by the
most reprehensible tactics-by the
dragooping of political "bosses"-
against the well known facts that the
great majority of the Republicans OF
Pennsylvania were for Blaine, while a
very considerable majority of the Re-
publican constituency of New York
were decidedly against Grant. That
surly individual scarcely received q
score of votes from the distinctively Re.
publican States, with the exception OF
those named. As to the composition Of
the rest of the 306 it could be classed as
colored, carpet-bag and scallawag, and
much of it was downright purchasable
commodity-as much so as bacon and
sides in the Chicago markets, and
Grants managers We're in the main mer
who controlled immense sums of money
and used it unscrupulously. This con
fession, by the Chronicle, of the deca
dence OF its old time pet, is quits a,

which wrecked Grants two administra
tions, the Chronicle says:
