herself, sir, responded Richard, grave
ly.
Then why don't you marry herr
said his father, bringing his cane en-
phatically down upon the floor.
Because, sir answered Richard,
hesitatingly-"because father, to tell
the truth, II am already married"
What roared the old man.
Yes, sir; I've been married these
two months" confessed Richard pen
itently.
You have, and you dare tell me so?
Married 10 whom?" he roared again.
ITO Miss Clara Weston, sir"
This was too much. The old gen
tleman was speechless, and his wife,
scarcely less agitated than himself,
shrieked to Miranda for water.
\ few gulps restored him TO speech
and the first use he made of that fac
ulty was to order mis- son TO quit the
house.
Il will, sir, said the doctor calmly,
but not until you have seen my wife.
She's in the next room dutifully wait
ing to be presented to you and my
mother. Come here, Clara, my dear!
And Mrs Holmes help, blushing
and little frightened, advanced and
stood by the doctors side
This is my wife, my dear father and
mother-Clara Weston, the city girl.
l hope you will forgive the innocent
plot, but | wished to prove to you that
she could do something more than
frizzle her hair, paw on pianos, and
wriggle around in her tinery.'
The mother, her first astonishment
subsiding, was easily reconciled to the
state of things, and in her heart Sc
cretly approved the young couple
proceedings. Perhaps, also, in his Sc
cret heart, her husband did the same,
though he thought proper TO grumble
and growl for a day or two over his
sons undutiful conduct in marrying
without his consent, and imposing his
wife upon him in his own house as
somebody else. But still, considering
that only good came of it-a good that,
without the trick, would have been
lost TO them all-the old gentleman
finally magnanimously made up his
mind to forgiveness, and even con
sented to his happy wifes proposal Of
big dinner in honor of their son and
his pretty bride.

FORGIvE vENESS.

o God, forgive the years and years
or worldly pride and hopes and fears;
Forgive. and blot them from thy book.
The sins on which mourn TO look.
Forgive the lack of service done
For thee, through life, from life begun;
Forgive the vain desires TO be
All else but that desired by thee.
Forgive the love of human praise,
The first false step in crooked ways,
The choice OF evil and the night,
The heart close shut against the light.
Forgive the love that could endure
No cost to bless the sad and poor;
Forgive, and give me grace to see
The life laid down in love for me.

Stanford's Queer Disease.

The Washington Post says: News
comes from Europe that Senator Stan
ford, who has been there for some
time. is the victim of an extraordinary
disease. He cannot sleep when he
wants to, and he cannot keep awake
when he wants to. He can hardly
ever be said to be awake. and hardly
ever asleep, but perpetually oscillat-
ing between the two conditions. He
does not sleep more than a minute or
two at time Gf we may call il sleep,
for want of better word-sonnam-
bulism might more nearly cover it,
and his eyes don't remain open, or his
senses active for more than the same
same length of time at a stretch. He
is never allowed TO walk alone, for il
he tried it he wonld be sure to fall,
the somnolence coming upon him
without notice. Sticking pins in him
is no use; he dozes off notwithstand
ing If he starts to talk with you he
may get through with few sentences,
and then be cut off in the midst Of an
unfinished word, but when he eawakens
to consciousness again he has the
knack of taking up the talk precisely
where he left off. To use printers
phrase, his sleeping, his walking, his
talking and his thinking are all done
in very short takes But he has no
pain.

"A Notice Regarding the Approach
Ing Convention.
The baggage agents are making prep
arations for their eighth annual conven-
ton which is to be held on the 18th of
January. At the last meeting San
Francisco was the place selected for the
next conference, so next month the coast
will be visited by host of railroad men,
most of whom will stop here for day or
two, either going or coming. The
following special notice has been received
by the agents: "Recent arrangements
for interchange of baggage business be-
tween the Tranecontinental and Eastern
lines, make it very desirable that the
Eastern Baggage Agents of all such lines
meet together for better acquaintance
and exchange of ideas as to the best and
most expeditions manner Of trans-
acting the Transcontinential check
ing and adopting an uniform
mode OF checking, tranferring, &c., when
baggage could only be checked as far as
the Missouri River. Eastern lines had
no interest in it after they reached there,
but now each line is personally interested
in it until it safely and quickly reaches
its destination. Thus it will be very
beneficial for representatives of all the
Eastern lines represented to attend this
meeting. The recent adoption of the
transcontinental ticket and the collec-
ton of through excess adds to the i'm
portance OF holding this meeting at the

william Winn in Company With an
Unknown.
Officer Cooney found a man named
William Winn in the arms of an indi-
vidual Saturday night under eircum-
stances that looked rather strange. Winn
was apparently under the influence
of liquor, and by some means had re-
ceived an ugly cash over the right eye.
When the officer passed by him on Third
street an individual who refused to give
his name had him by the arm and was
endavoring to take him somewhere. He
said that Vim was his roommate
and that he wanted to take him
to his room but this story appeared to
be rather thin, so Officer Cooney took
them both to the police station. Some
friends of Winn's appt ared at the police
station later and said that Winn
was very respectable young man but
they did not know the man who was
with him and were under the impression
that Winn had been in the clutches oi
one who wanted to rob him. No one
was able to account for the cut over
Winn's eye.

A REMARKABLE CURE
BY
Haemony, The King Of Herbs
Los ANGELES, December 4. 1888.

Los ANGELES, December 4, 1888.
C. H. Webb, Esq, s10 East First Street, Los
Angeles, Cal;
DEAR SiR-I wish, for the benefit of sufferers
with Rheumatism or Stomach troubles, to sub
scribe the following. 1t has been my misfor-
tune to be sufferer with Rheumatism at differ
ent periods of my life. Two attacks lasting
nearly two years each.
About four months ago was prostrated with
an aggravated case of In1ammatory Rheuma-
tism in my knees, hands, wrists, etc. Also had
Sciatica in my right thigh and some pains in
my back. After seven weeks in bed, with a
prospect of as many months before me, a friend
recommended Haemony. I procured bottle,
and after taking six teaspoonsful, or six doses,
in three days, was able to go down town on a
pair of crutches. In weeks time the crutches
were put aside, and to-day am enjoying my
usual good health, with no pains Or soreness
Water Brash, Sour Stomach. ETC., and to my
surprise and delight, after four bottles of
Haemony am entirely cured, and can eat as
healthy as when a child. and am not distressed
thereby. cannot say too much for Haemony.
Very truly yours,
E. B. BUCHER,

tion To-Day.
To-day's session of the Council will be
quite interesting, and if there be no time
lost in discussion an immense amount OF
business will be transacted. Nothing
has been done for the past three weeks,
and business has accumulated until 1t
will require considerable attention on
the part of all concerned. Besides the
routine business the election of officers
will take place. and as no programme
has been agreed to by everybody, it is
probable that there may be a contest
over most of the appointments. Some
of those whose names we're announced
after the new Council had been seated
have Withdrawn as candidates for posi-
tions, but still remain in the field ready
to take advantage of every chance that
may occur. The election of Chief OF
Police and City Clerk will be the most
interesting event of the day.
Besides this business the Southern
Pacific application for a franchise is

He Stole to Keep himself From
Starving.
On Wednesday last an honest appear
ing German named Henry Deneke ap-
peared at the Police Station and asked
for a nights lodging. He said that he
was willing to work for his board if he
could only find anything to do. He was
furnished with lodging and given letters
to men who would be likely to have
work for him, but it seems that he was
unsuccessful, for Saturday night he was
arrested on charge Of petit larceny. At
the Police Station he said that he had
wandered the streets looking for
something to do and couldn't find it.
He went from Wednesday until Saturday
night without eating anything and he
felt that he could not do it any longer,
80 he stole an umbrella from in front OF
q store on the corner of Spring and First
streets and would have pawned it for a
meal if he had not been captured.
