BIOGRAPHY OF THE BARD.
In Rhyme
In peaceful cottage by the sea
A couple dwelt in harmony;
Ere breath Of scandal reached the ear
OF him about his Wife held dear,
He was drafted man in War,
And falsehood ha 1 been written afar
BY Old Maid, who trie1 to marry in VAN.
Ine letter bore the sigma u.e OF on honest
mans name.
Though the letter was a forgery he went ou.
of his head
Soon as honest mans names to the stories ba
read,
And declared he would kill his wife either
sooner Or late;
Crazed fourteen years and then died: yery
sad, sad fate.
The cottage was not quite as near to the sea.
ASH the susquehanna river was flowing peacs-
fully~
toward the sea.
Dwelt happy couple once, and one~ef that
couple was me.
It appears that before she married the
M liJary gentleman known as California
Kelley the Bard was teaching school in
susquehanna county, Pa In one of her
effusions she says:
am thinking, am thinking,
OF the days when I was young.
was the very best of teachers,
At least my praises so were sung.

OF Susquehanna county at that time:

There are hosts of men and women
who, to coin phrase, are only half alive.
That is to say they seldom. ii ever have an
appetite, are nervous, weak, fidgetty and
troubled by numberless small pains and
aches. In the presence of vigorous, ex'
uberant vitality, they seem mere pig
mics. Such persons are usually fond of
frequently dosing themselves, swallow
ing enough drugs in the course of year
to stock an apothecarys shop OF average
dimensions. This of course. defeats in
stead of furthering the end in view, viz:
the recovery of health and vigor. Were
they to seek it from an unfailipg source
of vitality, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
how different would be their case. Then
vigor would return to their debilitated
frames, the glow of health to their wan
cheeks, their trembling and uncertain
gait would grow firm and elastic, appe-
tite, that grandest of all sauces would
give relish for the daily food. were it
ever so coarse, and refreshing sleep
would crown the task of the day.

SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT SEA


pecfal 10 the Herald bv Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, February 23.-The
schooner Domatila, which sailed from
this port some months ago, was discov.
cred bottom up in the Hawaiian channel
on February 10th. The Domatila had
ON board crew of six men and one pas
senqer. Their fate il unknown. Loss,
$G500; insured for $1,000.
On January 2Sth the sNamer Planter,
which was recently in this port for re-
pairs, was WI, cked oil Niiban, Hawaiian
Islands. The Planter was chartered 10
20 from Waimea Kanai 10 Nlihan, and
during heavy fog she struck reef and
was completely wrecked. No lives were
lost. 1t is possible that the machinery
and other effects may be saved. She
carried no cargo. The original cost of
the Planter was S75, 1000, and the repair
ing on her cost about $4,000. She was
not insured.

DAY DISPATCHES.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-The bill
to confirm entries of land under the laws
of the United States reported to-day by
Senator Van Wyck from the Senate
Committee on Public Lands provides
that any entry heretofore made in con-
formity with the rules, regulations and
decisions of the General Land Office at
the time, shall be adjudged in the same
manner as if said rules, regulations and
decisions had not been reversed or medi-
fled; provided that such entry must
have been made in good faith, and that
no charges of fraud has boon made
against the same.
Van Wyck says the purpose of the
bill is to quiet the apprehensions of set
tiers who fear that some of the rulings
of Commissioner General Sparks,
may have the effect of cancelling claims
which were taken IN good faith under
the laws as interpreted by former Com
missioners. He proposes therefore to
crystalline certain well recognized prin-
eiples of practice into the statutes.

CHICAGO, February 23.--The railway
running ont of this city to the Missouri
river are openly selling first-class lin
tied ticket to San Francisco, in connec
ton with the Burlington and Rio Grand,
and Union Pacific roads for forty dol
lars; and second class limited for twenty
seven dollars. The same rates are
quoted in connection with the Atchison,
Topeka and Saata Fe road, though ii
the case of the latter company the full
rate is imposed and rebate allowed
travellers on reaching San Francisco.

The meeting called by the Trades
Council for the Tabernacle, Saturday
evening, will doubtless be largely at
tended. Many Of the leading citizens
Of Los Angeles have been invited to
attend and deliver brief addresses,
and doubtless the invitation will be
largely responded to. The necessity
for an earnest and energetic outgiving
on the Chinese question on the Pacific
Coast is appreciated everywhere and
the people are moving irrespective Of
party. The present agitation began
with the insolent demand upon the
part OF the Chinese employees OF a
leading San Francisco cigar house to
have the Caucasians employed in the
factory discharged. 1t was intensified
by the murder of the Wickersham
family by Aug Tai Duck. 1t is en-
phasized by the lamentable straits to
which honest white labor has been
reduced on this coast by coolie com
petition. The Trades Council avows
none but pacific objects. 1t resorts
to purely law abiding methods. This
spirit, now 30 universal and so self
poised, will undoubtedly accomplish
its beneficent purpose. The knell o.
Monaghan immigration to the United
States has been sounded.

so fatal TO the prestige Of the party u!
power. There have been great and
bitter controversies in the Democratic
party in this State which the HERALD
has studiously ignored. They have
arisen from the ordinations and
recriminations OF individuals - Of
self.constituted leaders Of the "rule
or ruin" order, whose supremacy, on
the one side or the other, is in no
sense vital to the party. A political
or other tidal wave might engulph
them all without in any sense weak
ening the organization. Amongst the
mass OF Democrats there are no es'
sential differences. All Democrats
deserving the name believe that
corporations are subject TO the
power that created them, that
railways, like individuals, should
pay their taxes, that such portions OF
the public domain as have reverted

ure Of their donees to comply with

ought to be very easy 10 formulate a
platform and name candidates for
the Democracy which would leave
the party with the winning chance in
the elections next fall. The motto
ought TO be "Let the dead past bury
its dead" The living issues Of the
day, Invested Of personalities, are
ample for an authoritative party deliv-
cry which would rally all Democrats
under common standard, and that,
in this State, always means victory.

Chances for Health and Dis
ense.

Man is dependent upon his surrounding
for the necessities Of life. Air and watel
are necessities OF life, but impure air anc
impure water are most prolific sources o.
disease. Food is also necessity of life, bu
numerous diseases are treceable both to tht
lack of necessary food, and an over indul
gence in special kinds of nourishment
Besides these external sources of disease
there are other more subtle and internal
causes. Each individual inherits from his
parents certain physical constitution
Each person, therefore, derives his chances
for health and disease from double source
namely his inherited constitution and his
surroundings in life. Sanitary science de
votes attention to our surroundings. Medi
cal science seeks to overcome the consti
tutional or inherited weakness by medi
cines that supply what is wanting in the
system. De Ravens Dyspepsia Cure sup

Really, we must apply ourselves to
removing these discrepancies. We
are moving in the matter OF public
buildings, and when the Board OF
Supervisors adjusts certain little con-
troversies, Jail and court house
commensurate with the importance
of Los Angeles county may be looked
for. The city has $245, 900 which il is
at liberty to apply to our streets, sew
ers and water system. But, over all
these partial mitigations OF our CON
dition, looms up the fact that we
have been dilatory and unresponsive
TO the demands of the hour. Where
Riverside saw her ability to make a
superb drive and alameda through
her Arlington, Los Angeles ought
surely TO have been able to create
similar thoroughfares to her majestic
ocean and to her beauteous San Ga
