MORNING APPEAL
FRIDAY .-... APRIL Ii, 1853
Too Many Facts.

The report made by the In
vestigating Committee Of the
San Francisco Stock Exchange
has caused general row in the
institution. 1t appears that the
statements made in the report
fall rather heavily upon the toes
of certain parties. The COM
mittee rakes the mine man
ayers over the Goals for the
secrecy in which the work is
conducted and hints at hidden
bonanzas. The Stock Exchange
now says that it did not author
ize the report. This report vir-
tually substantiates the AP-
PRAL's statement, made sslne
time ago, to the effect that large
quantities of good milling ore
was being quietly taken out of
the Comstock, while the inno-
cent stockholders imagine that
the mines are only making
enough out Of low grade rock to
just about skip half the asses5-
ments.

Sandwich island Coming.

1t is believed that the King of
the Sandwich Islands will want
about $500, 100000 coinedand the
probability is that the coming
will be done in SIN Francisco.
At first the king thought that
$l0,OOO,OOO would be enough,
but Daggett, whose ideas Of
(other people's) money is always
big, advised the old king to go
the whole hog while he WAS
about it, and have a good
healthy treasury. Daggett
painted the slories Of !. mon
archy with a full treasury, and
the old king was 50 delighted
with the picture that he hes con-
Guided to turn loose and be an
other Monte Christie, with Dag
gets assistance. If this amount
Of money is coined in San Fran
cisco it will push the capacity Of
the Mint there tosuch an extent
that more coming will be done
in Carson.

Misguided Sympathy

1t is said that 100000 citizens
have petitloned the President
to pardon Sergeant Mason, who
was Court-martialed for trying
TO kill Cuiteau when placed ON
duty to guard him from the
mob. These 100000 people
wish or think they wish to see a
man pardoned who committed
one Of the worst crimes known
to military law. His act was a
shameful breach Of discipline
and Il shameless violation of
trust. 1t was probably COM
United under the inpressi on
that he would make himself
popular. Possibly, the shot WAS
merely meant TO show the world
what a desperate patriot Ser
geant Mason is. A large num-
Der OF foolish people have snb-

The death of Jim Fair means
the resignation Of Governor
Adams the elevation ofLaughton

on the part of these men the pro-

look more plausible.

The facts of the case are that the

ADVICE TO A BRIDEGROOM.
Hi Of Advice that May he Followed 10
ADVANTAGE.

To become husband is as serious n
matter to a man as it is for woman 10
become wife. Marriage is no child's =
play; it brings added care, trial. per
pexity, yexation, and it requires a great
deal OF happiness which legitimately
springs out OF it to make the balance
in its favor. Very few people live hap.
PLY in marriage, and yet this is not be-
cause unhappiness is germane to this re.
lation but because those who enter it do
not know, first, how to get married, and,
second, how to live married happily.
You have already made your choice
wisely, | am bound to believe. These
qualities of character which have at.
tracted you to choose az you have, should
make your love grow dali while you live
together.
As to the second point: II you wish
to live in harmonius union with your
wife, start out with that avowed recog-
milton Of the fact that she is your com.
panion and co-partner. Marriage usually
makes the wife neither of these. In
many instances, she sees less Of her hus-
band than before she married him. He
comes, he goes, he reads, thinks, works,
and under the stimulus of business
brings all his powers and faculties to the
surface, and is developed thereby-not
always symmetrically, Int vigorously
not always harmoniously, but with in-
creasing power. Married men do not
usually shrivel up or put on look of
premature age. but women frequently
do, and it is plain TO me why they do.
Married women are shut up in houses,
and their chief care is for things that
have no inspiring influences. Their
time is taken up in meeting the physi.
cal necessities Of their families
washing dishes, keeping the house in
order, sewing, receiving company not

to culture and elevation. Married We
men are devoted to the house. and this
means life Of vexation and pettiness.
1t gives no sort Of stimulus to the
spirit. So the husband. who is out OF
doors, active, interested in measures
which affect the public good, coming
into contact with men greater than him.
self, who inspire him to better purposes
and nobler ends Of labor, develops into
manly beauty and grows in character,
while his wife at home, who has as faith.
fully performed her share of the work,
withers and decays prematurely.
Treat your wife exactly as yourself
would like to be treated il you had to
live under her circumstances, and YOU
will not go far wrong.
Do not entertain the silly notion that
because she is Of different

A Dinner Party.

Of Well-known banker of Liege, Bel

dinner party to which ten guests had
been bidden, beside himself and wife,
making twelve in all. They were just
about TO set down when in dropped a
friend from the Antipoles and invited
himself to dinner, thus making the fatal
number thirteen. The banker, to pre-
vent i'll luck, rushed downstairs to his
Office. found the cashier Just about to
leave for the evening, dragged him up
stairs, fitted him with a dress coat, and
led him triumphantly into the drawing
room amid the applause of his relieved
guests, three of whom declared that
thew would not sit down to the best din
ner ever served if there were thirteen at
liable. At that moment the bell rang,
and note was brought for one of the
guests whose wife had suddenly fallen

remain. Thirteen again Gloom and
despair; and the cashier finding himself
the Jonah of the evening, volunteered
TO depart. The banker saw him down
stairs and was expressing his regrets

A College Prank.

Ren Butler relates one OF his college
pranks in breaking up an abolition meet
ing We students went into the country
and paid an old farmer fifty cents to let
us catch in his barn all the swallows we
wanted. We got dozen, or so, and on
the night Of the meeting n number OF us
were present, distributed iudiciously
about the room, each boy with swallow
in his pocket. The church was lighted
by old-fashioned chandeliers, holding
each five or six whale oil lamps. AT n
given signal, when the services were
under way, the swallows were let loose,
and almost in the twinklmg Of an eye
out went the lights. The birds OF cours'
went for the lights, and the rush OF all
caused by their wings put out the lamps
We kissed girl two, and they OF cours'
shrieked. All was commotion and con
fusion for few moments. Then th
moderator of the meeting demanding
silence, said that some unaccountable &C
cident had put out the lights, but tina
the audience must sit quiet and presery
order, and the lamps would soon b
lighted. The sexton hurried away for

those days-and presently he came int
church. holding it in front OF his fac

bass streams which, by reason Of the
clearing away of the forests and the
