womanish affairs. No philosophical
student of the sex thus adludges them

will not succeed"
The first evening of their arrival the
bride retired to her chamber and the
groom fell in with a poker party. with
whom he sat playing cards until
o'clock in the morning. His wife spent
the weary hours weeping. At last he
turned up and met his grief-strieken
bride with the hilarious question:
..Well, amt doing the old married
man like daisy?"
She never referred to the subject
again, and everybody knew after that
that they had just been married.-SG1'

A Hint to the Nihilists.

1t is remarkable what bad shots these
nihilists are. Here, they have fired,
first and last. about four and half
pounds of bullets ut the present czar
and the Emperor William; but instead
of turning those well-known parties in
to portable lead mines, no particular
harm has been done. Not so much as
a two-bit watch crystal has been brok-

machine builders are selling equally

about making a tour of Europe. Com
muniStS and other dissatisfied stock

at short distance above Suffer creek. we
crossed the ditch leading from the Amador
canal to Plymouth. The water here we
found to have temperature of about $50
or 700. In taste the water was quite in
ferior to that found in the main canal. there
being taste smacking decidedly of decay
ing vegetable matter, or as if il had stood
Tor considerable length of time in a re-
seryoir.
THE DITCH Is QUITE SMALL
And not capable of carrying any great
amount OF water, but sufficient of course.
Tor the use to which it is now put. Our
observations of this ditch convinced US
mat water for the use of Sacramento to be
the best obtainable, should not be brought
down on the low hot hills of Amador and
Sacramento counties in an open ditch. Nor
should 1t be passed into and through re-
servolrs to any greater extent than abso-
lutely necessary that the water for Sacra-
mento should be brought rapidly from the
main canal
~ ilfI-S Or olFFltlENT CAPACITY
That reservoirs should be entirely dis
pensed with or made as small as practi-
cable, with a reservoir at the head of the
pipe leading into Sacramento, of capacity
sufficient for several days supply in case of
accident TO the pipe or ditch lines above,
but to be used from only in ease of neces-
sity.
Summary of conclusions arrived at from
our observations and from the information
received
First-That there is an abundance of the
best OF water at the head of the Mokelumne
river.
Second-That there are unlimited storage
facilities near the sources of that river.
Third-That the watershed from which
the waters are derived is all that could be
desired
Fourth-That from the Blue Lakes down
the Mokelumne river, and as long as the
water remains in the main ditch and with
out being reseryoired, il is of as good quail
lty as at the sources OF the river, being only
a few degrees warmer
Fitth-That when the water is reser-
yelred, or carried in small bitches al the
lower elevations, it rapidly deteriorates dur
ing the hot summer months.
Sixth-That in order to obtain the water
in its best possible condition it should be
brought from the main canal at a point
above the reservoirs to Sacramento in pipes

Executive Pardons.


Yesterday James Dever was pardoned
from the State Prison by Governor Stone
man. He was convicted in November,
1884, of having been implicated in the forg-
ing Of San Francisco street warrants. but it
was known then that, although guilty of
an lniraction of the law, he was only the
TOOL III the hands of adroit politicians, who
escaped their just punishment and left the
comparatively innocent TO suffer That
the innocent did suffer is true. When
James Dever was sent to the prison he lett
young and loving wife and three small
children, all of whom have since died
the Mother overworked and with broken
heart, the children preceding their mother,
because the latter was unable by her feeble
exerhons to care for them in sickness or
provide for them suitable food. The letters
Of appeal from the wife to the Governor,
pieading>fo for the pardon of her husband,
were neatly written and really heartrend-
ing. Some weeks after their receipt the
Governor asked his Secretary. Mr..
Aoreland, to call upon Mrs. Deyer in
San Francisco and ascertain the
facts of her suffering. Mr.. Moreland called
at the number of the house. but was in
formed by the residents that Mrs. Dever
had buried ali her children, and that she
dlSo stel5t III u grave beside them at Lone
Mountain. The wife and children found
early graves, owing, as it appeared, entirely
to the fact that the husband and father
their only protector and proyider-was
confined in a cell in the State Prison. One
of her letters written to the Gov
ernor three days prior to her death ap-
peared in iull III these columns some
months since. The suspense and disgrace
upon young, pure and unprotected
mother was more than she could stand
and she soon sank into q premature grave.
Deyer. upon being set at liberty, will find
himself wifeless, childless and alone. The
pardon was granted on the petition of Hon
j. n. L. Wilson, the District Attorney of
San Francisco; Alex Badlam, State Treas
urer Oullahan, Rev. II. =. Gallagher and a
host OF others, who claim that the prisoner
was more sinned against than sinner.
pardon was also granted to Willie
Bliss, who was convicted of burglary in
Santa Clara county in April, 1885 and who
was sentenced to one years imprisonment
The State Board of Prison Directors
recommended this pardon, and many
prominent citizens of Santa Clara county
petitioned that it was Bliss first offense,
and that his previous character was ire
