marked tina. he had been West

and robust frames, and he was
much pleased. "This," said he, lis

Wheeler, the muruefeE "a No1A"
Tillson, his sister-in.law and mis-
tr.ss. stands q reasonably good
show of having his neck legally
broken in the somewhat uncertain
future, the Supreme Court of Cali
fornia having affirmed the action OF
the Superior Court in which
Wheeler was last convicted.
Wheeler, as almost everybody
knows. murdered the Tillson girl
by choking her to death in q San
Francisco lodging house. about
three years ago. The act OF
Wheeler had none of the dime
novel romance in 1t, hut was vul-
gar and an unromantic murder.
Had he killed the outcast girl by
shooting her scientifically, or carv'
ing her up artistically, there might
have been, perhaps. something OF
sentiment in the action OF the
female feather heads who brought
tracts and bouquets of rare flowers
10 the wretch's cell. But as it was,
the bouquet and tract bearers made
sorry figures OF themselves
Wheeler has been convicted two or
three times, and his case has been
tried before the Supreme Court.
Now his lawyer will try to get the
case before the Supreme Court o.
the United States, claiming. as IN
the case of Rattan and .Hurtado
the Sacramento murderers, tina
conviction was obtained on infor
nation and not by indictment
Meanwhile Wheeler is faring wei
at the Hotel de Broadway, Sal
Francisco, enjoying his substantial
if not elegant three meals o day
his blissful sleep, his visits fron
the tender. hearted and tender
headed flower-distributing women
and no doubt has frequent chuckle
over the beauties of "the laws d.

Between July 18th, 1891, and July
%, 1882, the White river packet Hard
Cash made fifty-four consecutive
weekly voyages between this port and
White river, traversing distance of
over 10000 miles. Had the vessel
started due east from here in July of

she would have been somewhere about
China on her third trip around the
world last July; that is, if she could
have travelled overland as we'll as by

$50. 1t was originally set at $500, was
afterwards fixed at 800, but upon the
recommendation of the mercantile
delegation from here, it was put at
$50, which cotton gin men deem very
reasonable.

The new opera Of 1.-THE Merry
War" by Johann Strauss, the author
of a budget Of popular waltzes, was
presented last night at the theater to
very large audience, and its repre-,
sentation by the Ford English Comic
Opera Company was quite clever. The
performances was smooth and satisfac-
tory throughout, as is usual with all
the Ford company have given here,
and the leading artists won several
encorcs during the course Of the eve
ming. The prima donna, Marie
BOckel, appeared in admirable voice
apd was as yiyacious and entertaining
as ever in the leading part Of Violetts.
She was efficiently supported by the
reRaialsf Of the company. The
brief engagement of the Ford troupe
was brilliant aud profitable, The she
alter will be closed until a week from
20 day, when the Devils Auction"
troupe will appear.

The, Bad Boy and His Pa.


Said the bad boy to the grocery
man: 81 think when man Is in
trouble, if he has a little boy to take
his mind from his troubles, and GET
him mad at something else it rests
him. Last night we had hot maple
syrup and biscuit for supper, and pa
had a saucer full just in front of him,
just steaming. ! could see he was
thinking too much about his mining
stock, and / thought ifthere was any
thing / could do to take his mind off
of it, and place it on something else,
/ would be doing kindness that would
be appreciated. sat on the right of
pa, and when he wasn't looking | pull
ed the table cloth SO the saucer of red
hot maple syrup dropped offin his lap.
Well, you'd i died to see how quick
his thoughts turned from his financial
troubles to his physical misfortunes.
There was about pint of hot syrup
and it went all over his lap, and you
know how hot melted sugar is, and
how it clings to any thing. Pajump-
ed up and grabbed hold of his pants
legs to pull them away from hisself,
and how he danced around and told
ma to turn the hose on him, and then
he took and poured pitcher of ice
water down his pants, and he said the
condemned old table was getting so
rickety that saucer wouldn't stay on
it, and | told pa ifhe would put some
tar on his legs, the same kind that he
told me to put on my lip to make my
mustache grow, the syrup wouldn't
burn so, and then he cuffed me, and
think hefelt better. LISA great thing
to get mans mind offof his troubles,
but where man hasn't got any mind
like you, for Instance"
Atthis point the grocery man pick
ed up fire poker, and the boy went
out in hurry and hung UP q sign

Overwork.

We continually hear good deal about
men being overworked Professional
men and public officers seem especially
to suffer from this atlliction, and 4 great
deal of sympathy is bestowed upon
them, especially upon the professional
men. The clergy are made much of
when they are overworked. Then the
congregation raises a handsome sum and
sends the poor, overworked man off to
Europe to amuse himself, and he amuses
himself very much indeed. We know
a good deal about work-honest, square,
steady, effective work; but about over.
work we have n great deal Of doubt
Generally speaking, when a man is said
to be overwor6ed, the truth is that lie
has been guilty Of some excess which
breaks down his strength. There NAV
be easesin which there is an excess Of
work, but of these cases there are very
few indeed. The excess Is in eating,
in drinking, in neglect of exercise, or in
some other mysterious way. A man of
ordinary health can stand all the real
work that he has to do, but the addition
al strain which he puts upon himself
outside of work is more than he can
bear, There is no delusion more fire.
