Some years ago Lord Pslmerston visited

many miles over 1t in search of game. They
had, however, little sport, and became tired
and hungry. 10 the distance Lord Palmers-

good as a stable-tO which be made his way,
in company with his friend and a keeper
and found the tenement occupied by an old
woman and her pig. His lordship asked
If she had anything to eat. ''God bless your
honor; sure there's prsties aud eggs at your
service was the reply; and while the old
woman, without further ado, commenced
Washing the potatoes, and putting them In

the old woman that she had been many

San Franci.co Chroniele. 30. 10. |


The cause Of this brutal attempt at assas-
sinatioe can hardly be a matter Of conjecture.
1t is known to everyone that lhe Chronicle has
been fearless and unsparing in its structures
upon the methods by wIicn the 1rm Of which
Adolph Spreckels is 4 member used the Haw-
allan Reciprocity Treaty as as means of rails
ing enormous profits Tor itself without cores
ponding benefit 20 the people OF this coast.
1t is also known that lately the Chronicle pnb-
hsned u detailed account Of the collapse Of
the Hawiisn Com mercial Company, in which
IL appeared that the entire assets OF the com
pany would probably b. absorbed by j. ID.
Spreckels & Co., leaving nothing for the
shareholders but their certificates, and moth
ing for the directors but the prospect of a
vexatious lawsuit. Il is further known that
q newspaper published in this eity-whiSh is
understood 10 be under the control of, If not
the absolute property Of, Mr.. Spreckels-has
been diligently engaged for months In pub
fishing indecent personal attacks upon Mr..
De Young and his IA. lily. In return, not a
single word has ever been said in the ChrUJsi-
eis against the personal character Of Claus
spreckels and his sons. The CAro,sicls simply
attacked the monopoly OF which these men
were the head WHAT inference NAV be
drawn from these facts what light they NAV
shed upon yesterdays attempted murder-it
is hardly necessary for US TO point out.

'Tbe blind Of an eye is king among the
blind, " has seven equivalents; ''Moss grows
not on an oft turned stone" is found in
Greek and Latin and niue other European
languages. Under these circumstances, II is
difficult to decide u what source We should
look for the original root; but II any one
could tell US how many OF these widespread
proverbs are to be found in Sanscrit, or in
the modern languages Of India We might
have some grounds for forming theory how
they arose.
Again, the experiences Of our several
lives, though they may differ widely in their
surroundings, are eurious.y alike in essen
tals; and it may we'll be that one reason for
the similarity of proverbs is, that all man
kind have TO learn the same lessons, calling
the same qualities into play, and that they
find the result Of their summing-up not so
very different after all. Such is the follow
ing: "There will come in day what won't
in an age" This is common to modern
Greek, Latin, Italian, French, aud English.
IL is an entirely abstract proposition; there
Is no piciuresqueness or allusion to catch the
fancy; il is evidently drawn in each case
from the deep wells Of experience.
