A Genuine Freeze Out.

Another effect of the curious San
Francisco climate is OF considerable in
terest to strangers, as it makes nine
out of every ten sick the first week they
are here. The traveller from New
York. or even Canada. coming here at
this season does not bring his fl'rs and
tiannels. Before getting to California
he crosses thousands of miles of plains
and deserts, and is nearly baked. He
smiles if San Franciscan happens to
be along and talks of overcoats, and, il
the San Franciscan is 3 smaller man,
feels like knocking him down when he
sits up and watches him wipe the pers-
piration Off his brow and talks about
cold winds and flannels.
1t must be confessed that along the
Arizona or Utah desert, with the ther-
mometer boiling in the shade. the
easterner has a right to feel angry with
the San Franciscan's talk, and even
until Oakland, only three miles from
the city, is reached, his incredulity
seems justified: but now it is different.
Mark the change that short three
miles briggs. Mark how pal,ry half
hour will draw that self-contident east
ener up, will chill and turn blue his
erstwhile smiling lips. The keen wind
sweeps across the bay, and by the time
the terry lands at Market Street. San
Francisco, climate has got in its work,
and the easterner goes to bed shivering,
while one of the porters goes out and
gets him a "back-warmer" and some
winter clothing.
Wealthy people here go away in the
summer to get warm. instead of cool,
and about the first of every June the
furs and flannels are packed away,
while paterfamilias buys his ticket fol

Not at all singular. The train may

BEAUX AND BOWS.

And so the Archery is DER,
u. dear. what shall do?
1neres not the least amusement now
Of any kind in view
30 many thoughts 1 dare not tell
just now my memory throng;
IN order to compose myself
must compose q song.
Now, list to me, for good advice,
Each well-skilled archeress.
On what concerns you. even more
Than crinoline or dress;
hou all expect to win and wear
prize some day. l know:
Dear girls, your every chance depends
on managing your beau.
In choosing bows. you must exert
The very utmost care.
Inc new-made ones are apt to warp,
The old ones will not wear.
Nnlie worthless ones are vanished
And Oft deceive the eye,
And some are stiff and cross grained, too,
And very apt to fly.
Some ladies hold their beaux too high,
a plan disapprove.
Hold fast, but gently. in your hand
The bow should freely move.
And never, never trust your LOW
To any other hand,
For very. very few indeed
Will such a trial stand.
No doubt, on prudent grounds;
They like TO boast their hand can draw
With ease so many pounds
Sharp-shooters they. to me it's quite
Amazing to behold
How earnestly their eyes and hearts
Are fixed upon the gold.
This fact. state not of myself,
l speak but what hear;
Some ladies in our archery club
Have found their bows too dear.
Good beaux are dear, anl should be SO,
They re scarce found anywhere;
! almost think I'd give my hand
To find thing so rare.
Select bow that bends with grace
O5edient to your will.
However light you pull the cord.
You bend it plant still:
For I've heard married ladies say,
The point can't decide,
That every beau begins to snap
Soon after it is tied.

WENDELL PHILLIPS DEAD.

Wendell Phillips the great orator,
philanthropist, statesman and agi-
tator died at his home in Boston last
Saturday. In commenting thereon,
the Boston Star says:
1t is given to few men to achieve
such triumph as that won by the
great apostle of abolition. Com
mencing the fight against hum an
slavery in his early youth, with mil
lions of his fellow countrymen OPP
posed to him, Wendell Phillips lived
to see the principle for which he
commended effect one of the greatest
revolutions in human society that
the world ever witnessed. He lived
not only to see this, but to tarry in
the land score of years after the
victory was won. The black man,
when Mr.. Phillips first began his
fight, was a dcspised being, held in
the bonds of slavery. Long ere the
good man closed his eyes, the black
man had been given all the rights OF
]iis white brother, and members OF
the race filled positions Of trust and
responsibility.
The life of sReh q man furnishes a
good example for the youth of the
nation. lie had 3 definite purpose
and to accomplish it he bent all hi'
energies. lie was net always RICH
in his conclusions, but he was incor
ruptlble. If the young men of TIN
present day will follow the example
set them-if they will pin their faitl
to some great principle, even the
it brings obloquy and seorn, AM
have the courage of their convie
tions, the nation will be better an
purer than it is. They may not b
popular-Wendell Phillips neve
was-but IN the great problem Q
human life they will leave ineffac'
able marks which will have beal
ing on future generations. In mos
cases the country has, sooner or la
er, reached the ground upon whic
he took his stand. Even the man
who disagreed with him acknoV
edge his honesty of purpose.

The Democrats in the House {

The Democrats in the House of
Representatives are, in various ways,
letting out the fact that they do not
like the Civil Service law passed by
the last Congress. Were they po-
litically wiser they would try to
conceal this fact until after the next
Presidential election. The truth is
that if the people wish this law to
be sustained and applied, they must
keep the Democratic Party out of
power.
Essex County herald. [volume] (Guildhall, Vt.) 1873-1964, 1884-02-08

One of the hopeful signs for the
success of the Republican party at
the next election we have in the fact
that all wings and sections of the
party are disposed to work toy ether,
and that local factions have almost
wholly disappeared. The former
bosses seem to have taken the back
seats.
