THE RIVER AND I.
The river goes drifting past me
On towards the great wide sea,
DalIyipr here with the lilies

The river goes drifting past me
On towards the great wide sea,
Dallyins here with the lilies,
Wooed by the wind and bee;
And whispering there to the rushes
And reeds by the eddie's edge,
Where the piover's nest is hidden
Deep in the cool, green sedge;
So, idle and aimless ever,
1t drifts to the great, wide sea,
And is lost at last in the ocean,
And it is type Of me.
Ny life goes drifting on seaward
Like river, with the years,
And it has so much Of sunshine
That there is need of tears.
| am drifting idly onward,
And throw the hours away,
For an hour is counted squandered
II no good is done they say;
SO if | do nothing helpful
To myself or those with me.
My life is an idle failure,
As it drifts to the unknown sea.
If the force Of the idle river
Could be made to work for men,
AS it floats on to the ocean
To come not back again,
BY turning the busy millWheel
On its &: cen and pleasant edge,
Instead of its isle drifting
Past lily and reed and sedgc;
Then, as it neared the ocean
And was merged IN the mighty food,
They would say Of the little river,
1t has done the best it could.
] will rouse from my idle drifting
a leaf on the tide of time
| will force the power within me
TO deeds which if not sublime,
Shall be something lpful and cheering
To those | meet in the way;
| will be no more like the river
But do what can each day;
And when to the dear Gods New " orll
| drift Oh the great, gray sea.
Let "IEe did his best be spoken
BY those who come after me.

JOHN JAY KNOX.
Ex-Comptroller of the Treasury.

Mr.. John J. Knox. OF New York,
for seventeen years Comptroller of
the Treasury of the United States,
has, after an honored and success
full career in the public service, re-
signed his position to engage in
private business. In view of Mr..
kxox's long and conspicuous pub
lie service we present our readers
with an excellent likeness Of the
gentleman who has so long presi-
led over our national banking sys
lem.
Comptroller Knox was appointed
Deputy Comptroller October TO-
1867, and Comptroller on April y
1872, and thus has had a coItin-
u0us service of seventeen years in
! the office. Previous to his appoint,
ment as Deputy Comptroller he
| had charge of the Mint and Coinage
correspondence, and was sent by
Secretary McCulloch to San Fran.
cisco in 1866 to examine the branch
Mint in that city. His report was
published with a complimentary
notice by Secretary NcCulloch in
the finance report of that year
April 25. 1870, he completed re
vision of the Mint and Coinage
laws of the United States, whicf
was transmitted to Congress witt
an elaborate report. Upon his re-
commendation the coinage of the
silver dollar was discontinued, anc
subsequently the bill which he
proposed was passed by Congress
with few amendments, and is nov
known as the "Coinage Act of 1873.
The Comptroller subsequently
visited New Orleans and discover
ed in the office Of the Assistan
Treasurer the largest defalcatior
ever known in the history of tht
government. The failure of ths
First National Bank OF New Orlean:
followed, and Mr.. Knox remainee
for some weeks in that city acting
as Assistant Treasurer. He wa
reappointed Comptroller withou
his knowledge before the expiration
of his first term, and confirmed by
the Senate without reference t.
anv committee. He was again ap
pointed to a third term on Apri
II, 1882.
GARFIELD's FIRST CHOICE.
It is well known to Senator Sher
man and others that the C1mptroll
er was the first choice of the lat
President Garfield for Secretary Q
the Treasury, and this fact wa
communicated by the President t.
I we'll known gentleman, to whom
the President said that he was onl,
prevented from carrying out hi
original purpose by political com
plications which afteward grew "
7 in filling other places in his Cabl
net
Mr.. Knox has accepted the presl
dency of the National Bank of tn
Republic, which owns, jointly witt
the First National Bank OF NeN
York, the ''United Bank Building,
on the corner Wall street AM
Broadway. 1t is an old institu
ton. originally organized in 1885,
and has a capital of 100000 ant
a surplus Of s6000,OOO.

Pedigree Of Nelson Junior.

Nelson Juuior. bred in Iolo county, Cal, was
sired by the ccItbrnled trotting size John Ntl
son, out of mare Pauline; Pauline by Robert
Bruce, out Of well bred mare of Messenger
stock. John Nelson sired by Imported
trustee, out Of the celebrated trottng mare,
AraDella, the trOtling queen of the turf in her
Trus &c side, of the famous running mare, Fash
ion, and is himself the sire of many brilliant
trotters how the turf. For the extended
pedigree Of Imported Trustee, Arabclla and
John Nelson see the Turf Registers. Nelson is
perhaps the fastest horse of his size and weight
IN the state. His first public colt race over the
Woodland race track established his reputation
as colt of splendid lower and gameness, and
his subsequent seasons as Il stallion gave him a
first class reputation as a sire and getter OF
strong and fast horses. lis colts in Golo county
are has best advertisement and like their sire
| show power and speed Nelson Junior Is strong
enough for any purpose aid can trot like Il
storm"

The most noticeable and salient fea.
ture Of the daily life Of Southern Cali
fornia, of late years, is the timely resur-
rsction Of tho idea that human life has
= pronounced value, and that blood
outlines is 10 be tabooed in the future
Of this charming section. This is the
lesson taught in the prompt execution of
Mcdowell and in the other executions
which have, within the past few months,
redeemed California from the imputation
Of being an Aceldama in which blood and
coin were commingled. Until lately this
State has been sort of refuge for all
men who believe in the ready detonation
Of the pistol and the responsive thrust
Of the dagger. We are glad to
note. irrespective of private griefs,
that a new era has set in which will
be characterized, if the courts and juries
maintain their present mood for little
while, by a fine and entirely proper re-
gard for human life. This lesson cannot
be learned too soon or adhered to with
too much continuity. This reign Of the
pistol, the knife and the garrote is COM
ing to an end in this brightest and most
promising of all the States of the Union;
and the execution of Billy Mcdowell,
under all the solemnities of the law,
very finely and effectively marks the
new and wholesome departure.
