How to Save Boys.

Women who have sons to rear and
dread the demoralizing influence of bad
associates, ought to understand the ma
ture of young manhood. 1t Is excessive
ly restless. 1t is disturbed by vague am
bitions, by thirst for action, by longing
for excitement, by irrepressible desires
to touch life in manifold ways. If you,
mothers, rear your sons SO that their
homes are associated with the repress-
ion of natural instincts, you will be
sure to throw them in society that in
some measure can supply the need of
their hearts. They will not 60 to the
public houses at first for love of liquor
very few people like the taste of liqu-
or; they go for the animated and hila-
rious companiOnship they find there,
which they discover does so much to
repress the disturbing restlessness in
their breast. See to it that their homes
compete with public places in attrac-
tiveness. Open your blinds by day and
light bright fires at night. illuminate
your rooms. Hang pictures upon the
walls. Put books and newspapers upon
your tables. Have music and entertain
ing games. Danish demons of dullness
and apathy that have SO long ruled in
your household, and bring in mirth and
good cheer, invent occupation for your
sons. Stimulate their ambitions in
worthy directions. While you make
home their delight, fill them with high
erpurposes than mere pleasure. Wheth-
er they shall pass boyhood and enter
upon manhood with refined tastes and
noble ambitions depends on you. Be-
lieve it possible that, with exertion and
right means, a mother may have more
control over the destiny of her boys
than any other influence whatever

Jenny Flood and Her Papa.



Miss Jennie Flood, the California
heiress, who is reported. by London
paper to be engaged to British peer,
is in this city .and emphatically denies
the report. 1t is understood, too, that
Miss Flood denies that she was Tilted by
young Grant but claims that match was
broken off by mutual consent. Miss
Flood is an accomplished and amible
lady, highly esteemed by all who know
her. She possesses in her own right 81,
500, 900 in government bonds, presented
her on recent birthday. The English
noble referred to by the London paper
is believed to be Lord Beaumont, who
was in San Francisco not long since. II
is understood that the young noble
made overtures for the hand of the
wealthy young heiress, but demanded a
dot of So, ,00O, 900, which old man Flood
Indignantly refused. Mr.. Flood, like
Mr.. Mackey, is anxious that his daugh-
ter should marry some well-bred Amer.
lean business man.

provisions of the law that appear to
have been introduced by some reckless

fence rails, goose skins, hay, hoop poles

ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
After committee consisting of Messrs.
Sheffey, Gooch and Mayer, had reported
the financial report accompanying the
Presidents report to be correct, the cleo
ton of officers was proceeded with.
Judge Shelley nominated President
Samuel Spencer for reelection, paying a
high tribute to the ability, watchfulness
and economy with which that gentleman
had managed the affairs of the COMPANY
for the past year. Mr.. Spencer was unan-
imousY reelected.
SOME INTERESTING STATEMENTS BY THE
PRESIDENT.
On coming in, Mr.. Spencer, in thanking
the Stockholders for the confidence they
had reposed in him, took occasion TO refer
to the affairs of the road in some matters
not so fully developed in the annual report.
He said it would be observed that of the
1874 1897 increase in the net earnings of the
road in the II months of 1884, the sum of
500 ,24S had been the increase for the last
eight months only, which indicated that if
the net increase be kept up it would reach
$43 500, within So 900 of the interest pay
able on the mortgage bonds, which is
S45 600 per annum. This is encouraging,
but not more than was expected This
had been done in an exceptionally dull
year with grain at low price and the
wheat which ought 10 have been moved
ia August and September not yet moved.
The traffic for ore and coke had also been
small, and it might be added that the
large exchange of business with the Rich
mond q Allegheny road, expected, had
been disappointment. The Stockholders
would be surprised when they learned that
the Valley road up to the date cf the
report had delivered 240O car loads to the
R. y A. Co.. and received from it less
than 6O0-less than % per cent. in return;
and in express matter the Valley road had
delivered to the R. & A., 30s, 900 pounds
