C.. o. ID.

A man who had not been long in this
country was employed as domestic in
family, and upon one occasion he was
sent 10 the cypress Office to obtain a
package. He was about to leave with
it when the clerk called his attention to
the three letters c. o. ID.
Pat had no idea what the letters
meant, but he clcverly guessed at
them.

"Indade do. Call On Dad. It's as
plane as the nose on your face"
There is almost a pathetic truth in
the understanding conveyed in this old
story. Many man is bounded to
death by the unreasonable calls made
upon him by members of his family
who are educated up to this very end
by himself, at first in that fond, slavish
spirit Of indulgence which the Ameri-
can father displays toward his offspring,
as if it were some kind of an unthink-
ing mechanical pet, and afterwards on
the unfailing principle that they who

Call on dad.
Business is dull, notes must be met,
but appearances must be kept up. Mrs.
Shoddy is going to the sea shore. "Our
girls must go. the money is to come
out of dad"
At first he refuses firmly, but as one
reason after another is brought to bear
on him, like a battering-ram of persua-
sion, he gives way. New bonnets and
dresses are bought, railway journeys
expenses betrayed, and that is only the
beginning. Incidental expenses are
always the straws that break the patient
camers back. They accumulate in
heaps, stacks, and at last rise to the
dignity of monument, under which
lies pale, peaceful man, no longer

The Oceans Wealth.

Seldom or never has the enormous
importance of the harvest of the sea
been more forcibly represented than it
was the other day by Professor Huxley
in the address which he delivered at the
International Fisheries Exhibition. An
acre of good fishing ground, he pointed
out, will yield more food in week than
an acre of the best land will in 9 year.
Still more vivid was his picture Of the
moving "mountain of cod," l20 to 100
feet in height. which for two months in
the year moves westward and south
ward past the Norwegian coast. Every
square mile of this colossal column of
fish contains 10000, 600 fish. consul
ming every week, when on short rations,
no fewer than 840.0O0,O00 behring's.

Our San Diego correspondent gives
details of the throwing over of Mr.. A. K.
Horton by the Republican Senatorial
conference. 1t had been conceded that
the Southern county was entitled to the
nomination this year, and San Diego
employee of Gov. George c. Perkins dis
turbed this equitable distribution of the
party loaves by voting for San Bernar'
dino man. Whatever else may be said
of Horton, he has been the most ener-
getic and interchangeable friend of the dis
trict in which he lives that ever breathed
its air for a moment. He was the cre-
ator OF the city OF San Diego; and he has
spent his money like water to advance
its interests. His betrayal by resident
of his own county will result in rankings
that will give the Democratic candidate
undreds of votes. We feel like consol.
ing our old friend by calling his attention
to the obvious fact that it is bad year
for Republicans anyhow. While he ap-
pears to lose he has really gained by the
action of the Conference.

WILL MR.. BLAINE PLEASE EXPLAIN
Kentucky's Marriage License Laws
Passed Two Years After His Sec
ond Wedding.

BosToN, Sept. 2l.-The Boston Herald
publishes the following from John A.
Bennett, O well known lawyer of this
city:
"Again, Mr.. Blaine invites the conf

ment of the Indianapolis Sentinel. By
this letter it appears that he married his
wife in kentucky June 30th, 1850, sup
posing the marriage perfectly legal until
the winter of 1851, when he learned that
by the laws of Kentucky his marriage
without license was invalid. This
knowledge so worked upon his appre-
tensions that in March, 1851, the mar
riage was recelebrated, in time to re-
move all doubts as to the legitimacy of
the child which was born in June, 1851.

fancies he sought in 1850 have first been

The cause assigned for all these misgiv-
ings we see could not have been the true
one. Is it possible that early marriage

made that Mr.. Blaine's second marriage
took place tive years after the X entucky

would be in striking unison with the

are interested in knowing whether the

politically-the difference between the

TO one.half of one per cent.-while
nearly the whole white people of the

this fact for an immense amount of self
delusion, and our Republican friends ap-
