loved so well. They did him good, poor
soul, and one of the chief causes that
led to his premature death was being
deprived of his heck and soda in the

prison rules, you know. He often

Dream ss


Nay! Let them dream their dream of perfect
love;
1t is the sweetest feeling, the most fair, :.
This flower-like JOY that blooms In the soit
air
OF Youths bright heart, with Hopes blue

Breath naught OF disira nchisement; do not
bring
Misgiving to the bliss OF blended souls,
The while Life's briMming river golden rolls
Through primrose lighted uplands OF the
Spring.
The blossoms OF eternity lie furled
In the dim kindling buds of dreams that
keep
futtering pulse within Times broken

Dreams are not idle; dreams have saved the

And therefore to the many heights afar
Our lowiand eyes that yearn and dream we

But will not pity teach you, too,
To kiss these lips no fire burns through?
These cheeks made colorless and thin

That walk my world by day and night
And bar the way of all delight

A Correction by Judge Beatty

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN An interview you
published this morning as taking place
with me needs correction in one or two
particulars. You will remember that in
asking my views about the matter discussed
in that interview, you prefaced your re-
quest for my views about the constitutional
question, with the remark that you under
stood had something to do with the plan
adopted in the Constitution of dividing the
Supreme Court into departments. | re-
piled | had suggested plans for dividing the
Court into departments, and stated to you
the outlines of that plan, which was quite
different from the one adopted by the Con-
vention. | did not state. | think, that
had urged my plan before the Constitu-
tional Convention, or, indeed, ever spoken
to a single member of the Convention
on the subject after he was elect
ed. What / did was this l made
my suggestions as the only practical way
of organizing a Supreme Court that would
keep up with the business. | made the
suggestion to number of the members of
the Bar of Sacramento county. At a ses-
sion of the Supreme Court held in Sacra-
mento, shortly after the passage of the law
authorizing the election of delegates to the
Convention, | saw many lawyers, and to
those with whom l was best acquainted l
presented and urged my views on this SUBJ
ject. Subsequently, Judge Heydenfeldt pub
lished a pamphlet urging the department
system for our Supreme Court. His plan
was somewhat different from my plan, and
according to my recollection, different from
the one adopted by the Convention. 1 had
no consultation or concert of action with
Judge Heydenfeldt. l do not know that
he ever heard of my plan, nor did I, so far
as | now reeollect, consult with any mem
Der of the Convention after his election

| talked before election, were subsequently
elected members. H. o. BEATTY.

Street sprinkliDg.

The Chief Engineer of the water works
reports an enormous amount of water be-
ing daily used in this city. Surely the
street sprinklers cannot be charged with
using much Of it. for a dustier city than
Sacramento at this time would be hard to
find. Complaints come in from every
quarter; whole blocks, streets and alleys
are apparently neglected, and the visits of
a street sprinkling cart in some localities
are so few and far between, that they have
become to be looked upon rather as curiosi-
ties than familiar Objects and he who does
not sprinkle down the dust in front of his
own premises must suffer the consequences
of his own neglect People are bitter in
their denunciation of the Street Commits
sioner for his suffering the contractors to
thus slight their work, to the great annoy
ance and detriment of the public. During
the incumbeney of II. B. Nielsen as Street
Commissioner, he had two extra sprinkling
carts which he placed 10 work upon every
neglected route, and paid them out of the
contractors allowance. When this was not
sufficient, in his judgment, he withheld a
portion of the contractors money. By
such means he secured tolerably fair full
fillment of street sprinkling contracts
Would not the present Commissioner do
well to profit by the wise example set by
his predecessor?

ADVERTISEMENT MENTION.
LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Aroused Him.

In downtown saloon last evening an
inebriated individual fell asleep in chair
and snored so loudly, and with such dis
tressing change of pace and volume that
he caused himself to be greatly dislked.
The barkeeper made several efforts to
arouse him, calling and shaking him dur
ing the intervals when he relapsed from
bis nigh arm furious sn0rts into gentle
little SHORES, which showed that he was not
all bad, but it was useless. 1t was his time
for sleeping and he was attending to it.
Then by-stander suggested remedy, and
producing bottle Of catarrh snuff and
quill toothpick, he blew a charge of the
nasal lrritant into each nostril. The sleep
er's snore broke off so suddenly that the
spectators Thought his lungs had collapsed,
and for few seconds he ceased to breathe.
The silence was painful. Every man there
would have felt relieved if he had started
his calhope up again, to drive away visions
OF Coroners jury, and the man who
loaded him wasn't well satisfied with him
self. Then there was noticed slight
twltchlng on one side of the patients nose,
and the skin wrinkled up. Then the other
nostrll gave signs of desire to crawl away
somewhere, the forehead creased, and the
upper Up trembled. Up to that time his
breathing had been suspended, but then
there came spasmodic action of the chest,
accompanied by a snuffling sound, and it
was hard to say which was going to declare
liseLI hrst, snore or sneeze BY degrees
the man chest expanded, his face swelled,
inc VEINS stood out like whipcord, his
mouth and eyes flew open. and ii was ap-
parent that the sneeze was ON top. A
glance at the by-standers showed that they
had unconsciously sympathized with the
sufferer, their mouths were open, their nos
this tremulous, and hung fire was ex-
pressed on every countenance. And then
came the end-a sneeze more like that of
horse with the epizootic than a human
effort, accompanied by an eruption rivaling
that recently experienced in New Zealand.
The sleeper was fully aroused.
