A Pleasant Affair.

Saturday evening the Alexand
ria Cornet Band, under the com
mand of Prof. S. Schmalinski, the
accomplished leader, took a little
jaant out in the country. The par.
ty consisted of sixteen, and were as
jolly a party as ever left Alexand-
ria. After very pleasant ride the
party pulled up at Mr.. Jos. Cham
befs' place, and were warmly vel
coined by the gentleman. Music
being in order, the band discoursed
sweet harmony and were followed
by Mr.. Chambers and his three
daughters, whose instruments con-
sisted Of two violins, an organ and
piano.
After exchanging music for qnite
awhile and the enjoyment of most
pleasant time, supper was announce
ed at the 'witching hour" and
such a supper-well, it was a
splendid repast and ample justice
was done it by one and all. The
egg-nogg and punch, supplied in
abundance, was highly appreciated
by the visitors and the health of
the host and the winsome ladies
was drank over and over again.
From Mr.. Chambers the band
boys and their friends proceeded to
Mr.. B. NJ. Hayes store, where they
rendered several selections and met
with a cordial reception. Mr.. Har

THE SHOOTING OF m. II.
DE YOUNG.

Another case of shooting has oc-
CURED in the Office of the San
Francisco Chronicle. The dis
patches state that Adolph Spreck-
els, a son of Claus Spreckels, en-
tered the Office and fred three pis-
tol shots at De Young. One took
effect in his shoulder, and at the
present writing the result is I'M
certain.
The shooting was inspired by a
series of articles relative to the su-
gar monopoly, established by Claus
Spreckels. in the Sandwich Islands
and being a public matter was a
perfectly legitimate subject for ed
itorial comment. Spreckels has
been public man for many years
and it is quite probable that had
he known of his sons contemplated
attempt upon De Youngs life, he
would have given the boy a sound
spanking and put the hottie AIDED
youngster to bed.
The Chronicle frequently makes
harsh statements concerning public
men, but We have yet to know OF a
ease, where its retraction and apol-
ogy was not prompt to follow
proof that it was mistaken.
Again it is said that for years
past Spreckels has prompted
small weekly in San, Francisco to
keep up a constant shower of ma
licious statements regarding De
Young's private character. If this
is true the Spreckels family will
get no sympathy for trying to vim
dictate the elder Spreckels' reputa-
ton for honesty, at the muzzle of
the pistol.
The statements made regarding,
Spreckels' method of managing a
stock operation was not liable to in
jure him in the least, as such
charges have become 50 common
that few people take any notice of
them.
IF the attack of the Chronicle
was purely malicious, as claimed
by the friends of Spreckels, its ma
liciousness would soon defeat its
powers of harm. Whether malic-
ious or disinterested, true or false
these were issues which could not
be decided by blood-shed.
Our private opinion is that the
Chronicle has done a good thing in
fighting the Spreckels sugar mo-
nopoly.

THE CONSTITUTIONAL CON-
VENTION.

The Sentinel claims that the Con-
stitutional Convention has won and
the Times-Review says:
1--WE are glad to know that it was
mistaken in its belief that the Con-
vention proposition was defeated,
but it is hardly probable that it
was in error. The Sentinel should
remember that every ballot cast,
which was not abolutely in the af-
firmative, counts as though in the
negative. The tickets in other
