An English Opinion.
[From the Alta California. |


An English coachman, evidently a
fresh Importation, was holding forth
in saloon much frequented by his
countrymen, yesterday afternoon.
Repeated mugs Of ale had loOsened his
tongue, and his opinion of San Fran
cisco aristocracy flowed fast and free.
81 like the hold gents well enough, "
said the coachman, "but the ladies
hof the family don't suit me bit.
They 'aven't the right style habout
them, you know; and they are too
fond Of showing my haccent hOff when
they visit people who 'aven't an En-
glish coachman. They Thomas me
all the time. TITS Thomas, do you
know where Mrs-lives? When l
reply, they say, Thomas is awfully
English; lived with a marquis before
we took HIM Then | know the hold
man is hafraid of me when [ wait on
the table, fear he'll do something
crooked with his knife. They all seem
sort of awkward when Pm in the 'ouse
because, l suppose, they don't feel
quite sure they are doing the right
thing. The hold man likes to talk to
me about the great people at 'ome,
and l give him a new dock or marquis
every day. The last dock took him
SO that he talked of raising my wages
at the bend of the month, and card
him telling the missus that Thomas
was real treasure
''How do you get on with the other
servants, Thomas?" asked an &C
quaintance.
'"The 'ouse maid is pretty, she's
Hirish, and she believes hall hof us
should be blowed up. They may talk
their haristoracy ere, but there hain't
any haristocracy. My people is wul-
gar, lawfully vulgar. The young imam
is friendly, but he's vulgar, too. He
comes into the stable with bottle of
whisky and hasks me 'ow the Henglish
young men hact, hif I never saw a
young lord that he reminded me hof.
never did, but tell i'm he's the born
himage of one | know, and this pleases
i'm, and he brings bout the cigars. l
never saw people SO greedy for hevery-
thing Hinglish. Pm not surprised
those New York girls run away with
hour fellows hif their young men hare
the same as I've met ere"
This interesting inquisition was
cut short by the entrance of theyoung
master himself, who greeted the coach
man with warmth, and in lordly man
ner invited him to drink.

Murderers as Heroes.
From the Louisville Courier ourn;

From the Louisville Courier ournal.l
Our heroes in Kentucky are the
murderers. They havepluck and bra
very and admit no allegiance to the
law. We pet them and humor them
and strive not to hurt their feelings.
The grand juries show them great con-
sideration, and we make it possible to
exclude from the petit jury all who be-
heve murderer is not something of a.
hero. By those who do not like
to trouble themselves with matters Of
government it is said that the news
papers make too much of these MUIR
derers in Kentucky. They do not
make enough of them. If the press
and the public would each do their
duty fairly between this and Deem
Der the next Legislature would not
dare to adjourn before giving us an eff
fective system of laws under which
murder could be punished. The pub
lication of these facts give the state a
bad name abroad, but unfortunately
Kentucky deserves bad name. Our
people are stricken with a strange
apathy and indifference. Murders
grow apace; the victims are forgotten;
the murderers become heroes to be pro-
tected by every imaginary legal con-
trivance. There is limit to all this.
THERE'S certain to be revolt. There is

The Buoyant Power Of Water.

The human body weighs pound in
the W alter, and a chair will carry two
grown persons-that is it will keep the
head above water, which is all that is
necessary when it is question of life
or death. One finger placed upon a
stool or chair, or a small box, or q
piece of board, will easily keep the
head above water, while the two feet
and the other hand may be used as
paddles to propel towards the shore.
1t is not necessary to know how to
swim to be able to keep from drowning
IN this way. A little experience of the
buoyant power Of water, and faith in
1T, is all that is required We have
seen a small boy, who could not swim
a stroke, propel himself back and
forth across a deep, wide pond by
means Of a board that would not sus-
tain five pounds weight. Children
and all others should have practice
IN the sustaining power of water. In
nine cases out of ten the knowledge
that, what will sustain pound weight
is all that is necessary to keep ones
mead above the water, will serve better
IN emergencies than the greatest ex-
pertneSS as a. swimmer.

1t has been said; but when d woman is
dragged down, emaciated, wan, and q shad-

word she can be no longer beautiful or

in her gifts, and endowed her with all the

Inundated, whole commonwealth

leaders cannot devise better methods,
if the governor and the Legislature

there were of GEORGE WASHINGTON, but the por-
trait OF Grant by Boga1dus, taken just after his

i'll perfect health, is the only one that viii be

even children recognize it before they know the

Will live III the minds of the people Ofthe country
he saved. Millions saw Gen. Grant at about the
time this was taken. Even though Gen. Grant
shall happily be spared to his country for another
generation, he can never have portrait taken
that will fill the popular eye and heart this
does, taken when at his best. Hence this will be
the portrait of history. Nosteel engraving or oil
painting can compare, as a likeness, with the
photograph-the mirror of the face.

And Serious business 1t Was

Some half a dozen boys were play
ing theater," in Mr.. Decker's back
yard, at 1876 Ten Eyck Street, New
York. They called the play" "Busi-
ness" Henry Decker IA years old,
was the hero Of the play" and, to
properly personate that character
got his father's rifle and loaded it with
bird shot. When he rushed to the res
cue of the maiden that was being car
ried off by the captain Of the Corsairs
he placed the rifle against the fence
In some manner not explained-per-
haps it was overcome by the excite
ment of the play-the rifle fell and ex-
ploded and the birdshot found q lodge
ment in the faces, necks, legs and arms
OF the half dozen actors. 1t took two
doctors an hour and three-quarters
to pick the shot out.

Where the Scorpion Gets his Poison.


When he strikes you with the end Of
his tail, like a wasp, he exudes a
venomous liquid, and man might
better hold red-hot iron in his hand
than to get tenth part of a drop of
this liquid into his blood. 1t is not
necessarily fatal, particularly in the
Bahamas; but it condenses the heat
of forty furnaces. In some parts of
South America scorpion bites are fire.
quently fatal, but have not heard of
anyone having been killed by them in
Nassau. This is easily accounted for.
The scorpion likes to feed on decayed
wood. In South America, where dye
woods and other poisonous woods
abound, the scorpion feeds upon them,
and thus work into himself q good
supply of outside poison, which, taken
together with his naturally poisonous
liquid, does it's work for whoever is
unfortunate enough to bestung. But,
in Nassau, such poisonous woods are
few, and the scorpions have to fatten
themselves respectfully on pine, cedar
and mahogany.

Cake Baking at Camp-MeetinE.

Ptsmdn Grooe Letter, in Phil0deEphiG Press.
Capt. Kelso Carter, principal of higher
mathematics in Hyatt's Chester Military
Academy, took for a text from the Book of
Hosea the words, "Ephralm is a cake not
turned" and pre- ached from them remark
able sermon. He said that many Christians
OF to-day were only haf-turned cakes. done
only on one site and not baked through. We
want TO get turned over and done all the way
through. He then preached the doctrine of
sanct ficatiOn. and when through asked all
desiring this state of heart to come forward
and bow to The altar. A score knelt at the
altar rail, and some startling scenes followed.
A middle aged man, with black whiskers,
jumped to his feet and exclaimed:
I've got it! I've got it! Glory, glory,
glory"
lie threw out both arms, moved his face
heavenward, and shouted "Glory !" till he was
hOarse. Then he clasped brother about the
neck and Rugged him. Then he danced and
shouted, and jumped up and down: then
climbed to the platform and exclaimed:
Pm turned over! Glory! Pm baked on
both sides! Glory to Cod" and he went all
around shaking hands with every body. A
woman also received the influence, and the
dense crowd Of people drew up closer, climbed
on the seats, and pressed up around the
altar.
Several more made their way to the altar
rail, AMI Father Stockton said: 1--WE are going
in for PentecOst. We are going twenty knots

The Negro Problem.

The future of the negro is a problem
that constantly increasing number Of
Northern writers is trying to solve. OF
course they don't all reach the same re-
suit. Some of them are satisfied that the
increase of the negroes in parts Of the
South will be so much greater than that
Of the white people that the white people
will be forced to seek homes elsewhere.
There are others who find amalgamation
to be the solution of the problem.
One thing that is particularly notice.
able is that all these writer's find it neces-
sary for their purpose to compare the
number of negroes in 1870 with the num-
Der in 1880, as shown by the census re-
turns. 1t is admitted, however, that the
census of 1870 is very Incorrect, and that
a fair idea of the increase Of the negro
race cannot be obtained by comparing
the figures Of that census with those of
the last census.
Several articles have appeared lately in
reviews and magazines, the writer's OF
which attempt to show that amalgama-
ton is inevitable. 1t is probable that
these writer's have a theory but not the
facts to sustain their theory. If it can be
shown that the number of mulattOes is in
creasing more rapidly than the negro race
is increasing, they might have something
to sustain their theory. But is there any
such increase of mulattoes? 1t is certain
that the belief throughout the South is
that the mulattoes are gradually dis
appearing. In view of the atten-
tion which this race question is ex-
citing the next census will be looked
for with deep interest. 1t Is safe to pre-
dict that those who hold to the amalgama.
tion theory will suffer a great disappoint.
ment The tendency is away from and
not towards amalgama:ion.
