SAN FRANCISCO. January p. 1ss6

SAN FRANCISCO, January q, 1886.
The latest man for breakfast affair in
San Francisco was the killing of young
man named Mish by one DIR. James A. Nc
Donald As there were no witnesses, and
as Mish died almost instantly after being
shot, and Mcdonald refused to talk with
either reporters or detectives, an air of mys-
terry surrounds the case. This, however, is
partially dissolved by the knowledge of
attendant circumstances. .Mish was young
man of about %, the son of well-known
milliner and was a clerk in one of
Here he formed the acquaintance of a
young shop-girl named Schultz, which re-
suited in an intimacy and an infatuation
on the part of the young man. The girl
married DIR. Mcdonald while her relations
with Mish still existed, but SO great was
the boys infatuation that he could not
keep away from Mrs. Mcdonald. He en-
tered the doctors rooms, for what purpose
is not yet publicly known, and was shot by
the doctor. The papers in their accounts
of the affair have sided against the doctor,
most of them speaking of him as "mur-
derer." He says he wants his case tried by
the Courts, and not by the newspapers; but
the latter have already convicted him.
They seem to forget that man accused of
murder is not murderer until so pro-
nounced by jury. The reticence of the
doctor seems to have angered the papers,
and this, in connection with the fact
that the Mish family are prominent
in Jewish circles, while Mcdonald is
obscure, seems to have prejudiced them
somewhat. Not one of them has yet at
tempted to consider the fact that young
Mish could have had no legitimate bust
ness in DR.. McDonalds rooms, and that a
mans house is his castle; and it further
seems to appear that Mish was there for the
purpose of taunting the doctor by at least
hints Of illicit relations having existed be-
tween him (Mish) and the doctors wife be-
fore her marriage. may be little ahead
of, or little behind, the times, but, in my
estimation. such a taunt would sting any
honorable man to the quick, and would
call for an instant and bloody revenge.
The killing of young Mish is not without
a lesson, which | hope will not be lost on
young men of his class.

POLITICAL RUMORS.


The air is thick with political on dts, as
we say in the French. One is that Tar
Flat is being devastated by what is known
as the Murphy boom. AS | do not visit
that stronghold of the unwashed and I'M
terrified Democracy, can only speak from
hearsay. Paddy Murphy is well-known in
Sacramento. where for many legislative
sessions past he has acted as legislative re-
porter for the Erening Post. He at present
occupies the position of Secretary to the
Pilot Commission, and enjoys the added
distinction of being a reporter on the Post.
1t appears that in the late English elections
Mr.. Parnell spoke in eulogistic terms of
Mr.. Murphy's services in the Land League
in behalf of the cause of Ireland. The
news reached Tar Flat, and Tar Flat is a
unit for Mr. Murphy for State Senator from
that district.
l also hear this funny little story, which
| an very much inclined to distrust as
being made out of whole cloth. 1t is that
Christopher Buckley is to be rendered
Democratic Congressional nomination, with
the understanding that he decline the same,
the object simply being to show that he is
solid with the party, and that the party is
ever ready to extend to him its fealty and
distinguished consideration. l think, how
ever, that the willy Chris. is too cunning TO
make himself ridiculous by the use of such
buncombe methods.
Speaking of bosses, to the outsider they
seem to be all mixed Up, so to speak, and
at skies or sevens among themselves, but
as this is an old and well-worn boss trick,
the stories of their chickering's must be
taken cum grdnO sails. The people are
heartily Sick and tired of boss rule, but the
people don't seem to have the gumption to
take the matter into their. own hands; or
if they do, and the bosses see that such
movement is likely to succeed, they man.
age to get their work in and corral the
spoils.
The numerous army of aspirants to Fed
eral preferment when the rascals were
turned out, seem to have settled down to
condition of settled despair. Changes are
few and slow, and while the old warehouses
who have been for years seeming the
manger from afar and now find that dis
lance only lent enchantment to the view
are not doing any audible swearing at the
Administration. it is plain to see, that like
the Pennsylvania Dutchman's boy, who
was forbidden TO swear, they are thinking
" DAMN
So eager are the professional politicians
for the FRAY that they would like to open
the campaign right now, but are prevented
by the fact that they do not know where
they stand The O'Donnell element, not
withstanding ridicule and belittling. is
the entire State, and one that will require
the best of diplomacy and cool judgment
to prevent becoming balance of power.
There is no use in laughing at this thing or
attempting to ignore it.

rHE sHARoN MEMORIAL.

The late William Sharon made bequest
of the sum of $50 600 for the improvement
of Golden Gate Park, subject to the discre-
ton of his trustees as to the manner of ex-
penditure. After numerous conferences
between the trustees-Fred. Sharon and
Frank 6. Newlands, the testator's son and
son-in-law, spectively-and the Park
Commissioners, it was decided, as has been
published, to devote the money to the cree
ton of memoria. gate as an entrance to
the Park. While | fully appreciate the
motives of the trustees in thus desiring to
perpetuate the memory of their dead rela-
tive and benefactor, | must say that very
large portion of the thinking community
consider the proposed structure in bad
taste. Mr.. Sharon left the money for the
improvement of the park. The majority
of people, their wives, children, sisters,
mothers, aunts, cousins and sweethearts
would just as soon enter the park through
one of the present entrances as through
q stone gate erected to perpetuate the MEM
DRY and virtues of Mr.. Sharon. Such
gate would be inappropriate, also from the
contrast it would present to the ramshackle
old wooden fence which now surrounds
the park. If Mr.. Sharon's trustees
may erect memorial gate
at Golden Gate Park, what is
to prevent any other wealthy man from
doing the same? Then we could have the
Sharon entrance, the Luning entrance, the
Michael Phelan entrance, and in fact, as
we have SO many millionaires the old
fence would soon fade away and the Park
be fenced in with memorial gates 1t is
not believed that Mr. Sharon intended his
$4,000 to be expended in this way. He was a
modest man in his daily walk, and did not
believe in tinkling brass, sounding
cymbals, pomp and panoply, nor
towering stone. He was nothing, if
not practical. His idea probably was that
the money should be expended in some
way to beautify the Park and add to its
pleasures-a lake, a grove, an aviary, or
even an additional grass plat, as a romping
ground for children. There are no song
birds in the Park, that hateful and pugna-
cious alien, the English sparrow, having
driven them all from this peninsula.
What a beautiful thing would be an aviary
of birds of song and plumage, set in
grove, with the wires of the prison artfully
concealed, and it wouldn't cost $4,000.
The trustees of Mr. Sharon's estate have
proved themselves to be sensible, practical
men, as shown by turning the $4,000 over
to the Park Commissioners, to be expended
by them according to their judgment. 1t
is to be hoped now that at least a portion
of the money will be spent in adding TO the
attractions of the Park

The recent death OF Major General
George II. Stannard of Vermont,
brings prominently before the public a
splendid military record that had been
almost forgotten outside OF New Eng
land. When the presidents procla-
nation was issued in April, 1851,
General Stannard was the first Ver-
monter to volunteer for war duty, he

banks the offer Of his services. OF the
second Vermont regiment organized
in May, 1851, he was the Colonel; also
of the ninth, and then brigadier general.
He participated in nearly all the bat
Ties OF the Army OF the Potomac, re-
seiving dangerous wounds and losing
IN arm. He was adoor-keeper at the
national capitol, at the time of his
death. The house of representatives
voted his family, who did not reach
Washington before his death, six
months pay and funeral expenses.

The Geographic announcement 81
Henry Ward Beecher' s death was soon
contradicted, but there is no doubt
that the great orator thinks he is near
his end. He expects to die of an
apoplectic stroke before long. That
has been his conviction for g. year,
and he has talked it to his intimate
friends repeatedly. In SO thinking he
has been influenced by his physical
temperament, his failing health, his
old age and his family tendencies. In
conversation on the subject he has
been cool, calm and cheerful, but utter
" hopeless OF surviving theyear. The
trustees OF Plymouth church have per-
suaded him to begin a vacation at
once, and Mr.. Beecher has decided to
90 to Europe on June 1 Z, accompanied
by his wife. His advisers adiure him
to do no speaking abroad, but to rest
entirely, but he says that political
orasory in England would be recre.
alton, and he has already written to
Gladstone with whom he has for
twenty years been in occasional CORE
ondence rendering his services

How to Face an Audience.

Any young orator may gain assur-
ance in the same way. Let him re-
member the anecdote OF the young
priest who was startled in the midst
OF a simple sermon by his bishop sud
denly appearing robed in his full
canonicals. The sermon was COM
pleted with as much ease and sell
posse sslon as 1t began. At its close
the bishop asked ii his presence had
disturbed the preacher NO, your
lordshlp," was the reply: Il always
regard my audience us so many cah-
bage heads, and the presence
OF a red cabbage among them
makes no difference" In brief,
a wholesome nonchalance in regard 10
ones audience IS much to be desired.
The audience is only human after al,
and even the critics are not gods. Let
US, then, be calm. On the particular
night OF which speak ] was strung up
to the highest tension, and yet ] was

succeeded or Jailed, can make no ex-
cuse on the ground of nervousness or
excitement. Macready says in his
biography that he used to prepare

upon him, supposedly prayer Ibid

should not have been a player. But
we'll remember making my way
through the muddy alley which leads
