DON'T live single an hour of your life
without doing what is to be done in it, and
going straight through it from beginning
to end Work, play, study-whatevcr it is
take hold at once; and finish itup square
ly and cieanly; then, to the next thing,
without letting any moments drop between.
1t is wonderful to see how many hours these
prompt people contrive to make of day; it
is as if they picked up the moments that
the dawdlers lost. And, if you find your
self when you have so many things pressing
upon you, that you hardly know how to be-
gin, let me tell you secret take hold of
the very first one that comes to hand and
you will find the rest all fall into file, and
followafter, like company of We lldrilled
soldiers; and, though work may be hard to
meet when it charges in a squad, it is easily
vanquished ifyou can bring it into line You
may have often seen the anecdote of the
man who was asked how he had accom>
plshed so much in his life "My father
taught me-" was the reply, "when had
anything to do, to so and do it." There is
the secret-the magic word, Now.

ONLY let woman be sure that she is
precious to her husband, not useful, conve>
nient or necessary, but lovable and "just
right" let her feel that her care and love
are appreciated and returned with interest;
let her judgm mt be asked and respected
on subjects in which there is common
interest, and she would not change places
with queen. Her sun will rise and set
with her husband; she will desire no higher
sphere than that afforded by her home, and
she will keep her good looks and good tenn
per as long as health and life are spared
her. She will bear pain, toll and anxiety
without murmer; for her husbands love
will give her strength and patience; adver,
sity will lose the sharpness of it's sting,
shielded and sheltered as she is by him.

THE estimates Of the crops which are
being published in the San Francisco
newspapers just now are necessarily de.
ceptive and misleading. Every intelli-
gent Angcleno knows how almost impos.
sible il is to form n correct opinion as
to the agricultural outcome in this
county, and yet We will see accounts
which pretend to be accurate fiourished
in the columns Of leading Journals as
though they were worth something.
No one who has gone through
the San joaquin valley dur.
ing tho past fortnight would give
bauboe for the judgment of any
one as to the crop outcome In that vast
region. The same may be said MS to
the Sacramento valley. As to Los An
geles county, any estimate which could
be made may be changed In ten days so
completely as to make the person who
formed it look very foolish indeed. A
good rain, within the next two weeks,
will make couple Of million dollars
difference in the market valne of the
products of this county alone. The
yield will be large, in any event, but it
can be SO amplifed as to surprise even
our own people. Three weeks from
now we shall read crop estimates with
some degree Of interest. As it is, we
attach no importance whatever to them.

PERHAPS one of the most unaccounta-
BILE things ever done by a Democratic
body was the failure of the California
Senate to confirm Hon. n. Greene
Curtis aud Mr. l. w. Hellman, both
Democrats of recognized standing, as
Regents of the State University. As to
Mr.. Curtis it may be rightly said that
he is ore OF the most popular Democrats
of the State, and no man would rally

he is acknowledged to be self.made
man Of unusual business capabilities and
a Democrat whose unainching zeal has
always stood the party in good stead in
the contests of the past. Gov. Perkins,
though Republican, paid both the
compliment OF nominating them to this
distinctively non-partizan position,
while Democratic Senate hesitated
about confirming either. not relish.
ing the situation as it stood, Mr.,
Hellman promptly resigned The tele-
graph advises us that Gov. Stoneman
has acquitted himself of the graceful act
of renominatipg Mr.. Hellman, cour-

THE persevering and indefatigable
efforts to prevent the extradition of
Louis Houck, alias "Doc Davis, seem
to have come to nothing, largely owing

TIE experiments which have been
conducted so successfully in electrical
illumination encourage high hopes that
the day of exorbitant prices for light,
which, next to heat, is the most
material element both of life, and in
the economy Of our daily lives, will
soon be over. 1t Is almost as dazzling
rs the light itself.-the advance which
has been made, during the past three
or four years, in the manipulation Of
electricity as an illumination. Already
tho distressing, fitful glare has almost
become thing Of the past, while the
cost of the light has gone on steadily
declining. Gas stocks, the most sensitive
register of the advances of the new H.
Illumination, have steadily declined in
the market during the past year or two.
e requires no straining of the magma
ton to believe that, with the progress
already made, natures storehouse Of
light and heat, electricity, will soon
afford cheap and universal servitor Of
man.

Twice, in short span OF years, the
people OF San Francisco have tried in
vain to get them new charter But
they are making progress. Two years
ago the now charter was overwhelming.

by only a trifling maiority-at last ac-
counts only thirty-three. At this rate
only another fight ought to be needed
to guarantee success. The new charter
was probably beaten by its own wordi.
ness. Just think of the average voter
being obliged to digest document
which contains ninety.six thousand
wordsl It is safe to say that not one
citizen out of hundred ever read it,
and those who performed that difficult
feat voted against it in despair of ever
understanding what it meant. The
Chroaicte's advocacy of, and Denis
Kearney's opposition to, the new mu-
nicipal organic law were doubtless about
staud-oif. The many people who
hated both were about equal in number,

perpetuate them. Give him and the
tribe he trains with the opportunity
and they would, every day of the year,
cheat the Democracy of New York and
Kings counties of their just representa-
ton, both in the State Legislature and
in Congress. This supertine politician
is very much exercised now because the
Democratic Legislature of the Empire
State proposes to so district that COM

There was provision in the Consttu.
ton of the State Of New York calling
for census every ten years, so ar.
ranged as to fall midway between the
census of the United States, so that
Congressional and Legislative represen.
tation might be adjusted every five
years, instead of ten. Knowing that
the Democratic population of New
York and Kings counties was increasing
at rate disproportioned to that of the
Republican rural counties, the Republi.
can party, with large majorties in both
houses, steadily declined to make the
enumeration prescribed by the Constitu,
tion of the Empire State. At no time
was the voice OF George William Curtis
heard in depreciation of this unspeak.
able outrage. He was quite willing to

IT 10 still doubtful whether Los An.
geles is to be favored by visit from
the Railway King, Vanderbilt, but 1t is
settled that we are to have call from
Charles A. Dana and the venerable Simon
Cameron. The latter seems to defy the
advances of age. He must be now
either at or beyond his ninetieih year,
and yet he is as active rs youth of
sixty. It is not often that, in the
United States, we can produce public
men to rival the octogenarian statesmen
of Europe, but the Winnebaga Chief is
one of the exceptions which can occa.
sionally be found, here and there, in the
broad expanse of the United States. In
Mr.. Dana our people will see man who,
since the death of Horace Greeley, is
perhaps the representative American
journalist. 1t is significant fact that
celebrities are thronging towards Los
Angeles and California at large at such
a rapid rate. Nothing could more per.
fectly show the interest which this Sec
ton has awakened in the outside world.

The marked success Of the sale Of lots
in the Beaudry tract on Monday last
shows that there Is a decided interest in
the hill portion Of the city. With the
contemplated early laying Of line Of
street cars up Temple street to these hill
lots, when their relative cheapness is
considered, they are most desirable
investment. Selling at scarcely more
than tenth Of the rate commanded by
lots at the same distance from the Court

ground, they are tolerably certain to
enhance greatly in value.

THE death of Alexander ii. Stephens
leaves the politics of Georgia in their
normal state. The deceased statesman
who was a man of ability that had
been advanced to high station by
the Democratic party, instead of
feeling any impulse Of gratitude
for continuous preferment, seemed to
take delight in counting his adversa-
ries, and in using the popularity which
he thus acquired as a sort Of club with
which to beat bis friends over the head
II was an open secret In Georgio
that il the Democrats had failed to nom.
mate Mr.. Stephens he would have run
as an independent candidate, and so
attached have the people of the South
become to their public men who have
been long in official station that it is
very likely he would have been elected.
1t has been q tradition in that section
that when q man has once been pre-.
ferred to keep on eleeting him. But
what contrast has been afforded to the
career of Alexander II. Stephens by
that of Horatio Seymour, for instance.
There has scarcely been year, at least
since the first election OF Grant, in
which, ii the Sage of Deer,ield had
chosen to court Republicans he would
not have been the most popular man in
the United States Horatio Seymour,
and other illustrious Democrats of the
North, never for moment faltered in
their party fealty. Never from him was
heard the most oblique intimntion Of
wavering in his party ties. Respected
to-day as few men have ever been in our
political history by people Of all parties,
his eminence was gained without, his
ever having compromised, for an instant,
his manly and ringing Democracy.
However gifted Stephens was, and his
talents were great. though they were
greatly exaggerated no lacked this
browning grace which has made Sey.
mour's career so splendid and inspiring,
