Up TO the present time Speaker
Carlisle has been notified by eighty
members of their desire to be heard
on the tariff bill 1t is scarcely
possible that there is Il member of
Congress who is in doubt as to how
he will vote. The fate of the bill
has already been forecaste, but it
becomes necessary for members to
make history and perpetuate their
names in the Congressional Record,
and in order to do so time must be
spent in oratorical efforts.

A PETITION, with twenty-five sig
natures, was presented to the Board
of Supervisors, requesting that A.
d. Mcintosh be appointed jailor
and janitor, at Il monthly salary of
$50. No reason was given why Mr..
Mcdonald, the present incumbent,
should be removed, except that Mr..
Mcintosh would perform the du-
ties for less salary than is now paid.
The petition was signed by fifteen
persons at Holbrook and ten in ST.
Johns-eight Mtxicans and two
Americans. The Board took no
action on the petition. The right
of petition is guaranteed, and CEN
sure never attaches to petitioners
in good faith; but in this case,
some of those who signed the petit
ton have cause to complain, and
do complain bitterly, at the mis-
representations made to them, and
the mendaciOus means used to in
huence their action. Mr. Melon
aid has received kind letters from
a number of gentlemen at Hol-
brook stating that they were in
formed that he was about to resign
and remove to his ranch, and that
they signed the petition under that
impression, and for that reason
only. Mr.. Mcintosh is relieved
from all responsibility in the mat
ter, and proof positive has been
furnished that he had no hand in
the disrcputable and malicious at
tempt to remove faithful and eff
cient officer by false, fraudulent and
lying statements; and that when he
allowed his name to be used he had
no idea that his pretended friends,
would use.him as an instrument to
accomplish their selfish and base
purposes.
The scheme to remove the TAILOR
originated in st. Johns, and was
conceived by some whose names do
not appear on the petition, but
whose purposes and designs are
we'll known. Mr.. Mcdonald has
had no idea of resigning or remov-
ing from St. Johns. The writer
who sent that statement to Uol-
brook knew that it was an untruth
when he wrote it, but in order to
carry out the designs Of himself
and a few others, wilfully wrote
what he knew to be false, and will
soon see that he has put his foot
in it,"

! When first we practice to deceive"

"What is the best plan?'
81 am inclined to favor the suggestion
of Weston, the electrician. He suggests
the use of nitric of amyl. 1t is well
known that this drug possesses the power
of causing insensibility very quickly in q
human being breathing its fumes. The
effect is equivalent, temporarily, to q
paralytic stroke. Now, nitric of amyl is
very cheap and plentiful. He proposes to

nitric dashed on he deck of war ship
would soon render her crew helpless. The
most powerful ironclads would be even
more vulnerable than the light cruisers,
for they would be sucking down great
draughts of air through their artificial
ventilators and the odor would thus
rapidly permeate the whole ship. The
whole crew being rendered helpless for an
hour or two, the ship could, of course, be
towed into safe spot, while the captors
ventilated her and removed the insensible

CHILDHooo'S FAIRIES.

When the wind comes cool from the drowsy west
And the sun goes down and the shadows die,
And the sounds of the day are hushed to rest
And the stars are lit in the deepening sky
Then the tree toads lift their Pickering cry,
And the crickets chirrup their virelays,
And think at the flash of FREELY
These are the fairies of childhood days
Then the weird owl boots from her hollow nest,
And bevies of chattering bats fly by,
And the frogs in the moonlit marsh protest,
While katytids bicker on branches high;
And over the tree tops one may spy
The shimmering twinkle of silver rays
And the woods awake and the great pines sigh
These are the fairies of childhood days"
Then the whppoor-wills triple their stern behest,
And the ''culprit fay" with tear at his eye,
Ayers that the honest way is the best
Confessing the fault that he can't deny
Invisible legions of wee things lie
In the hollow hid where the cold stream strays,
And leaves sing to leaves as they peek and pry-
These are the fairies of childhood days"

And Katydid, dear, your cheeks are ablazel
But only the whispering winds reply

sucn puny creatures, SUCH notes in the
blasting tides of icy sands, that l was
glad when sleep put an end to my specu-
lations and fancies
When / awoke the next morning all
was still-still as the grave; not sound
save the heavy breathing of my compan-
ions and the occasional cracking Of the
wood under the terrible cold; as still as
though the snow had buried us deep I'M
der its soft weight. And shall never for
get how it looked as stepped out into the
morning air:
Like an external changeess sea
OF FURNISHED marble lay the plain,
In dazzling, shoreless, soundless waste,
Horizon grit, without a stain.
The air was still; no breath of sound
Came from the wide expanse;
The whole earth seemed to lie in trance,
In hushed, expectant silence bound.
And oh the beauty of the morning sky,
Where famed the herald banners of the king
And as gazed with famished eye,
Lol day came on me with a spring
No one would ever dream that the night
before this calm plain had been dashed
and driven by an appalling tempest. The
terrible ride of the night before seemed
almost dream. There was no receding
swell upon TINS ocean, as upon the Attain
tic; on the contrary, it looked so marble
like and still that one could hardly mag
inc it ever being moved again. The bril-
liant sun flashed from millions of ice
points on the snow, making a broad way
of dazzling gold and diamonds-a
royal way for the coming of the
morning. Its glory was almost, not
quite, compensation for the experience of
the previous night. That night, as we
sat around the cannon stove in the VAN
burger grocery in Bloomtown, Moore told
our story with trimmings" adding
! among other things, the actual fact that
the thermometer was 80 degs. below zero

facts. l will not mention. Moore is good
fellow, and undoubtedly regrets the ex-
aggeratiOns which the enthusiasm of the
moment induced. -Harper's Weekly.

Testing the Teaching Machines.

A professor or governess is engaged to
instruct boys and girls, let us say in Latin,
history, or physiology, and it is assumed
that he or she will act precisely like
teaching machine for that particular sub
ject, and never step beyond its borders.
A little common sense would dissipate
this idle presumptiOn-suppOs it to be
really entertained, and that the mania for
examining sheer knowledge down the
Threats of the young does not make their
elders wilfully disregardful of the moral
poison which may filter along with it,
Every human being, as l have said, eX-
ercises some influence over the emotions
of his neighbOr, but that of teacher,
especially if he be brilliant one, over his
students often amounts to a contagion of
enthusiasm throughout the class. His
admirations are adored, the object of his
sneers despised, and every opinion he
enunciates is an oracle. And it is these
professors and teachers, forsooth, whose
opinions on ethics, theology and politics it
is not thought worth while to ascertain
before installing them in their chairs to
become the guides of the young men and
women who are the hope of the nation

Chinese opposition to Steamboats,.

Among the remarkable reasons adj
vanced by the Chinese for opposing the
introduction of steamboats, on the Upper
Yangtse is the allegation that a very
fierce and strong species of monkeys live
along the river where it breaks through
the mountains, and that they would not
fail to hurl large stones from the heights
down upon the steamers, probably sink
ing them, while the authorities would be
powerless to prevent the outrage or arrest
the offenders.
The real obstacle in the way is not
monkeys, but about 90, 900 junk men, who
think steamboats, would take away their
present means of livelihood York

Over Dress In San Francisco.

While San Francisco pays close atten.
ton to European fashions in dress, it fur
nishes more examples of originality in
styles than most large cities This is
particularly true of the wearing of wraps
and OvercOats. For this the glorious eli
mate is largely responsible. In New York
on fine summer day the lady who would
parade Broadway in a heavy sealskin
ulster would certainly be regarded with
more than interest. Equally astonishing
in the metropolis would be the sight of a
lady in midwinter strolling through the
streets in thin, close fitting dress with
out mutf, wrap or tippet. Such anachron-
ismS pass unnoticed in San Francisco,
however
There is no climatic or fashionable de-
cree that forbids the appearance of the
sealskin ulster anywhere, and it does
active service throughout the year. Oc-
casiOnally it does duty under trying Cir
cumstances, for the fog or wind of a sum-
mer day is likely to give place at any mo-
ment to undimmed sunshine that makes
the thermometer 80 dogs. in the shade
Strangers from older communities, where
the sealskin ulster comes into fashion only
for brief space in the twelvemOnth, are
amazed at its perennial reign in San
Francisco. The fair sex are not the only
ones who present sharp and strange con-
trasts in the matter of overdress. The
overcoat is not often a necessity in San
Francisco, and is worn more for style
than comfort as a rule.-San Francisco

Advice From a Kindly Expert.
When young lady asked Miss Louisa
Alcott for advice as to earning living by
literary work, she replied: 81 can only
reply to yours as to the other innumerable
letters of the same sort which l receive.
One must wait and work long and
patiently before success of any sort comes,
and talent must be in the tales or they
won't sell. If people won't take the
stories try something else. For a young
woman with good health and brave
heart many ways of earning a living are
open if she can put her pride in her pocket
and take whatever comes, no matter how
humble the task may be. Nurse, teacher,
companion, housekeeper, seamstreSs or
servant are all honest trades and worth
trying while waiting for the more agree
able work.
81 tried them, and after grabbing for
twenty years made a hit, seemingly by
accident, but could see how every hard
experience had helped, every sacrifice en-
riched, and so believe heartily in that sort
of training for us all. do not know any
one in Washington, and ] think anything
better than the places women hold in
public offices there. If your stories are
good they will find market; if they are
not, stop writing and try something else.
The gift is born with us and cannot be
learned, as some think. New York Com

A correspondent Of the North Dakota
Churchman writing from jamestown, D. T.,
says something in the few lines below which
will be interesting and gratifying to the
many admirers of the gentleman named
therein:
Rev. W. H. Wyatt Klamath has received
&nd accepted call to Yankton, D. T., and
will leave here in time to preach his first
sermon. there the first Sunday in December.
The congregation Of Grace sChurch, James
town, regret to part with Mr.. Klamath. His
rectorship here is not quite twelve months
old. From his first service held here he
obtained the respect OF, not only the mem
bers Of the Parish, but of all others in this
community for his ability to present the
truths Of the Gospel and meet the much too
prevalent errors which float to the surface
in new communities. His mastery ability
in this last respect merited and received the
most unqualified approval Of the best citi-
zsns Of this place and the attention given
to his efforts by the local press attracted
attention elsewhere, and out of three invita-
tions he has accepted that Of Yankton and
he win carry with HIM to this larger and
more remuneratiye field the high regard Of
his people here.
