General Sherman's Speech at the G. A. r.
Reception in San Francisco - California
Hospitality.
SAN FRANCIsCo, Aug 4.-General w.
T. Sherman, in the course of his remarks
at the Pavilion reception last even
ing, referred to the enthusiastic
reception accorded the G. A. R. and
it's kindred organizations by San
Francisco, and spoke of the feeling Of
loyalty and gratefulness which prompted
it. Addressing himself to members of
the Grand Army, he said: owe are citl-
zens of the greatest cou ntry OF the world.
You must and will be ever loyal to
the G overnment of the United States.
We are brothers. We laid side by sid
and drank out of one canteen. We,
therefore, swear to maintain fraternity
and charity, not only to one another, but
charity of opinion to leave every
man to think what he pleases, all
though he may differ from us.
The men of California represent pure
principles. Grant learned a lesson here;
Sheridan did, and certainly you and old
Uncle Billy learned here. Cheers.1
While California did not furnish the sol
diers that saved the Union, yet the sound
of pick and shovel was music to our ears,
because with them we found what was
necessary in war. California said to you
one year ago, IF you will come here. we
will show you California's hospitality,
the beautiful mountains, its other mag.
niticent scenes and it's luscious fruits
We found this too tempting to resist and
came and were not disappointed" Turn
ing to the vast audience he concluded by
thanking the ladies and gentlemen OF
California for their great hospitality

LABOR AND POLITICS.
The knights of Labor, Trades Unions and
Other Labor Bodies in Chicago About to
Enter the Political Field.

The knights of Labor, Trades Unions and
Other Labor Bodies in Chicago About to
Enter the Political Field.
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-The fact is an.
nounced in the local papers that the
Trades Unions, the Knights of Labor,
Central Labor Union and all the German
and Bohemian labor orders, are about to
enter the political field in earnest. A
legislative ticket will be nominated in
every district and the candidates select
ed for the support of the laboring men
will be men who are known as good
friends of the sons of toll. Men will be
nominated of both parties and the whole
strength of these various orders will be
brought to bear in favor of their cleo
ton. The leaders claim they have failed
to accomplish their object by strikes,
and they are resolved to seek political
preferment, and thus affected a decided
reform in the matter of labor by chang.
ing the legislation of the State. In
furtherance of this scheme, a call has
been issued to all labor orders through
out the city to send delegates to meet on
Saturday, August 81, to consider the ex.
pediency of putting up full labor ticket
for the support of the working classes.

A NEW DODGE.
EXPLANATION of the Latest Dodge TO
Swindling Bank Cashiers.

Explanation of the Latest Dodge for
Swindling Bank Cashiers.
We are indebted to friend who has
been nipped for an explanation of
trick which has been successfully en-
ployed for swindling several banks in
various Eastern cities. A check, say
for ten dollars, is obtained from de-
postor of bank. and a blank check
exactly like the filled-in check is secured.
The two books are laid one upon the
other, so that the edges are exactly even.
Both checks are then torn irregularly
across, and in such way that the sig
nature on the filled check appears on
one piece and tae amount and name of
payee on the other. The checks having
been held together while being torn, of
course one piece of the bank check viii
exactly fit the other piece of the filled
check. The swindler then fills in one
piece of the blank check with the
name of the payee and an amount to
suit himself, say five thousand dollars,
takes it with a piece of the genuine
check containing the signature of the
bank, and explains that the check was
accidentally torn. The teller can put
the pieces together, and as they will fit
exactly, the chances are that he will
think that the pieces are parts of the
same check and become victim of the
swindle. The trick. of course suggests
its own remedy. The teller should re-
fuse to pay any check that is mutilated

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
PERSISTENCE.

A robin once came to our yard, in quest
Of something with which to build his nest
And, looking about him, the little thing
BeheId in the pathway tiny string.
Delighted. he hoped on the dewy grass
TO capture the coveted prize-but alas!
The string to post was fastened tight,
And he couldn't remove it with all his might
and then
Stopped moment to breathe, and tried it
again.
'"Fhis string I must haver' he seemed to say,
As he bobbed his head In q comical way.
Perhaps to obtain it may cost me some
trouble.
But the beautiful string is much nicer than
And better than any thing else can be
To fasten my house TO the apple tree;
And So" thus he chfrped, as he stood on his

But had he been given the strength and
OF all the robins on Bernor Hight
And had they all pulled to their very utmost,
They couldn't have broken the string from
the post
And hence, in Juggling away at the string
And trying to do an Impossible thing,
For though he had will, he was wanting a
But still he kept trying, again and again.
AT last, after twenty odd failures. just then
An unseen friend, who happened to be
AT hand near the lattice, cut loose and set
free
The string from the post and UP to the skies
The robin arose with his coveted prize.

These verses will not have been written in

Company of Little Ladies and Ger
men--A Contrast.
The other evening I sat in the parlor
of a large hotel on the shore of
Long Island. There were number
of children in the parlor, playing quiet
ly, and apparently having a delightful
time. The boys had their hats in their
hands, as from time to time they ran
out on the piazza. There was some
thing about all these children that told
you at once that they belonged in re-
for they were well, but simply, dressed.
1t was the way they treated each other.
There was no pushing or crowding.
They were playing game that amused
them all, and caused good deal of
laughter among themselves, which did
not become boisterous. They had Sc
lected corner of the parlor where
they would attract the least attention,
and be most secluded. No matter how
often the boys entered the room,
they removed their hats the
moment they entered the door. They
brought chairs for the little girls, who
took them with a gentle ''thank YOU

time after the game was started. AS
soon as she came in, couple of the
boys got right up and offered their
chairs. She looked at them, and,
though I was too far away to near
what she said, knew she was politely
protesting against interrupting the
game or disturbing the boys. One of
them motioned toward a vacant chair
in a distant part of the room. The
little girl sat down, and he carried the
chair into the circle and sat down in
the space made for him. 1t was de-
light to watch these children, whose
every act proclaimed them little ladies
and gentlemen. 1t was no trouble for
them to be polite; it had become a
habit While these children were play
ing, young man came into the parlor
with his hat on the back of his head
and both hands in his pockets. Do
you suppose he thought he was show
ing his independence by refusing to
obey the laws of polteness? It is
more charitable to think he was igno-
rant of the Christian Union.

The Dominant Feeling in Texas - What
Governor Ireland VIII Do in the Event OF
the Failure of Government Interference.
DALLAS, Tex, Aug. 4.-Governor Ire
land was asked yesterday what he would
do should Bayard's reply to the commu-
nication regarding Rasures prove unsat-
isfactory. He replied: 81 shall give the
Secretary a reasonable time to reply. l
think it unadvisable to anticipate his
answer by saying what shall do"
This means, it is said, that the Gov.
ernor in the event of an unsatisfactory
answer from Secretary Bayard, will use
his forces for warlike purposes.
very near relative of the Governor,
regarding the latter's purpose, said yes
terday: 'If the Federal Government does
not take immediate steps to avenge the
death of the murdered man and wipe out
the insult offered to Texas, the Governor
will call upon the people to assist him in
demanding reparation."
THE MILITIA READY.
The Bryan Rifles, Texas Home Guard,
Granite Rifles, Fourth Regiment, con.
ssting of fifteen companies, and, in fact,
nearly the entire State militia, have ten
dered their services at moments warm
ing from the Governor, while offers on
the part of individuals, to raise COM
mands, are reaching him hourly.
Jos. HoffStetter, the eXtraditlon agent
who surrendered Rasures, is out to-day
in card in which lie states that Sheriff
Oglesby applied to him for extradition
papers assuring him that he would have
the warrant and testimony from Mexico
the next day; whereupon Hoffstetter is.
sued the extradition order. He adds:
81 would also state that am reliably
informed that this man in 1878, while
refugee from justice from Mexico, de-
clared his intention to become a citizen
of the United States of America, since
