He Wanted Olemargertne.

GiIhooley strolIed into his grocer's es-
tablishment yesterday just as that dis
tinguiShed statesman was opening a keg
of golden tinted olemargerine.
THAT looks nice. It's genuine butter,
| suppose; none of your bogus stuff?'
queried Gilhooley.
Now this was a leading question. The
grocer wanted the worst way to sell
some of that olemargerine to Gilhooley,
so he spoke up at once:
"Of course it is butter. Just look at
the beautiful golden hue, only found in
dairy butter Makes one think of COWS
and buttercups just to look at it-dont
it, nOw?"
But is it butter?"
Butter! Why, Of course it is. Some
people are so suspicious they won't be-
lieve that butter is butter unless they
take it out of the churn themselves.
Man alive just smell it, Don't it make
you think you are rolling in fresh-mown
hay? You can just taste the buttermilk
if you try"
But is it butter ?"
He had to lie or lose a customer
When that issue was fairly put it would
haye been commercial suicide to have
hesitated, so he came right out like a
little man and said it was butter.
Yes"
Then" said Gilhooley, as sad smile
passed over his features "then l don't
want it. Cows butter is no longer fash
ionable | wanted some of this olemar
gerine, made, you know, axle grease, sec,
ond hand tallow, and mucilage, that
looks like butter, but contains organ
isms Of new kind of tape worm.
don't say that | like that kinC
of jelly, but am going to keep up with
the procession, anyhow. So you haven't
cot any oleomargerine? Sorry, for
thought you kept frst-class establish
ment," and he passed out like beauti
ful dream.

and then he spoke confdentially to him

From the san Jose Times.

From the San j oSe Times Ersa
Charles Crocker owns whole square
on Mob Hill, San Francisco, excepting a
small piece. which had on it two or
three story residence; that house and
lot were owned by Nicholas Yung, an
undertaken. Croker naturally wanted
to buy it. and through some one not
known to his agent, a price was agreed
upon, but ,Yung afterwards ascertaining
that the intended purchaser was Crocker
put up his figure to $4,000, on the prin-
ciple of ''it will bear" but Crocker
failed to perceive the justice Of such a
procedure when applied to himself, and
so put a three story fence around three
sides of the lot. Yung lived there for
some months afterwards, but the gloom
and closeness we're too much even for
an undertaken, so Yung left and moved
his house, but still owns the lot. The
fence has remained all these years until
the last day of 1882, when strong wind
blew part of it down. Is this an omen
that 1882 was the last year of railroad
rule? Is their fence that has hemmed
in popular rights for years past to be in
part demolished, as was Crocker's fence
on Mob Hill? A belief that such is to
be the event may help to bring it about.
On the first day Of the New Year Eli
sha H. Allen died in Washington. He
was the minister from the Sandwich
Islands who negotiated the reciprocity
treaty with the United States in 1875 or
1876, and has been minister ever since.
Under this treaty or partly under a
gross misconstruction Of it, the United
States has been defrauded of at least ten
millions of dollars for the benefit of
ring of sugar refners and land grab
bers, officials, lobbyists and congressman,
while most atrociOus system of slavery
has been built up on the island, mainly
by means of the same. And now one of
it's negotiators has died. Is this an omen
Of the death of the treaty? The great
est statesman of France died with the
year. Is it an omen Of the death Of the
Republic of France, >or Of its birth into
a new life? 1t has Of late become ag-
gressiye, as England always has been. 1t
has seized Tunis, has swindled few ig-
norant African chiefs on it's west coast
out of valuable territory under a pre-
tense of sale, and has acted outrageously
in Madagascar When a nation thus be-
comes robber power it deserves to die
as nationality, or to change its FORM
Were France more of a democracy it's
national brigandage would be less pro-
nounced.
We do not believe in omens, but it is
not often that the close Of one year and
the opening of another has been so
marked by events which may become
somewhat Of the nature Of condolences.

Fred DosaEas Appeal.

Editor of the Globe:
The appeal of the Hon. Fred Douglas in
the national convention of colored men
held at Louisville seems to make quite q
stir among the Republican party through
out the United States, AS negro I can
safely say with the exception of a few
sore heads the colored people of Mime
sofa endorse the address unanimously. The
Pioneer Press says the presentation of the
case which Mr.. Douglas makes is disingen-
uous and in part absolutely false. We can
not concur with their side of the story
Mr.. Douglas says we have never been
helped and the P. p. aserts that no other
nation ever puts forth such efforts for the
improvement Of class or race as have
proceeded from the United States in the
cause of the negroes. While we say that
no other civilized nation had the chance to
correct ignorance with the political soul
duggery of this country as did one half of
this great land of liberty styling them
selves the Republican party, the saviour of
the negro, making them believe that they
were their god and besides me there is no
other, and now the time has come; the eyes

SUMNER resorts produce q luxuriant
crop Of social scandals. No season OF the
year is exempt from uncomfortable, i'm,
plicating gossip, but its most active
manifestation is generally found in the
great summer hotels at famous watering
places, and the various resorts of lslsas-
ure seekers. The corridors Of boarding
houses and hotels are crowded with mot
ley assemblage, where listIess and idle
mode of life is like that of the old Athe-
nia1s, devoted to hearing, telling some
new thing. A display of rich, costly and
gorgeous attire, firtations from the more
shrinking and retiring, to the dashing and
reckless, attract attention, and often star
tie the observer, while envy, jealousy and
and rivalry give point and piquancy to
the discussion and dissection of character.
Modest Miss Angelina is seen at the mid
night hour in a restaurant with gay,
pretentious gentleman, who may have
seen many or fewer summers, or they may
be seen at the same hour threading the
mazes of the shady bowers, or the con-
venient corridors, disporting in seemingly
amiable and lively converse; and up
springs large volume of singing gossip,
and spiteful scandal. The bride of few
months, by her gay flirtations, clouds the
brow, and gives hard thoughts and great
distress to her young husband, and thus
lays the foundation of anything but future
peace, happiness and confidence.
But worst of all, the
staid business husband, who plods at home
during the week, while his fashionable
wife and daughters are disporting them
selves at some sea- side resort among the
gay throngs of summer jewellers, is startled
by reports furtively conveyed to him,
regarding the carryings-on of the devoted
wife of his bosom, and his accomplished
daughters, and instead of awaiting the
customary Saturday night to visit them,
dashes off in mid-week, to ascertain if
what he most wishes to disbelieve, is really
true. This is too often the outcome of the
artificial life of the gay and wealthy sum-
mer pleasure seekers. Sorrow and re-
morse, for many, take the place of pleas
ure, satisfaction and good conscience.
Long Branch, Newport, Saratoga, Coney
Island, Cape May, and the whole cata-
logue of resorts reek with vicious scandal
and gossip, men scandal-mongers, no less
than women giving volume to suspicion
and jealousy. And then the sublimated
style, the royal, exacting etiquette of GER
tain "sets," and the regal airs of superior
ity are enough almost to make angels
weep! And these, and thousand other
things, go to make up the dire
repose, and unsatisfying rest of the sum-
mer pleasure-seeking resorts that dot the
land. How much is rational, how much
is calculated to minister to the sober en-
joyments of home life, and to promote de-
votion to the sacred duties of domestic
life, let the thoughtful and considerate
ponder we'll.

To shave or not to shave on Sunday is
the question which has been agitating
Jury n a st. Louis court during the
past few days, and the arguments pro and
con have certainly been unique if not
strong. The counsel for the defense ar
gued long and labOriously that shaving
was necessary for the prolongation Of
life and that, the efore, it should not be
restricted ca Sunday. In support, he de-
claret that q man who did not shave could
not live even an average length Of time.
One witness was e the opinion that shay
ing frightened tie mind as well as the
face, and declared that newly shaver faces
had their brains in better order than their
moro hairy brethren. The state counsel,
however, insisted that men with long
boards were stronger than those who
shaved frequently. ''Who was the strong
est man inthe world?" he asked. Witness
did not know. "Wen," Numbered the
prosecuting attorney, 'it was Samson, and
didn't he have beard that extended to
the groand?" The case is still on.
