COUNTY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SANTA ROSA,R SHAME.

Under the above head the Fan Fran
cisco Post of Saturday offers stinging
Tebuke to the officers of the Court in
which Morrow was tried last week
Some Of the proceedings were Disgrace
full in the extreme, if correctly reported,
and call for the severest condemnation.
From the article in question We repro
duce the following:
I'VE pointed out yesterday some of
the grounds for objpctlng to the treat
ment Of the people iii Court. The in
finitely small technicalities on which
the evidence of bribery was ruled out
by Mr.. Morrow's judicial friend can
hardly blind the eyes of the Court to
what is going on outside. It is charged,
and has not been denied, that members
of the jury were drunk at Mr.. Mnrrow's
expense after they had been sworn to
try him. This is almost incred BILE, yet
u fact that is attested by abundant evil
tlence in scarcely less 30. We refer to
young Northey's spree. We do not
know how Judge Rutledge or the case
tixers Of Santa Rosa regard the matter,
but the citizens of Snn Francisco, who
are not oversquemish in such matters.
are supposed to be indignant.
Young Northey was confined in the
Jail as witness, brought over from San
Quentin. While in custody of Sheriff
he was taken from the j"il at midnight
on Thursday night and taken on a tour
at the saloons and flash houses of the
town for several hours. Young Nor
they, with the Sheriff's deputy in tow,
WAS discovered Mt three o'clock yester.
day morning trying to brenk into
Louise of prostitution, and arousipg the
nrighborhood with his foul language.

from San Quentin to testify for tho PEG.

the importation Of Tuttle than Presi-

With many writers, especially in for
mel times, various curious STYLES of COM
position were much in favor. One au-
thor, for example, would compose verses
with some particular letter omitted from
every %stanza; others would write in such
n way that the line read the same back
ward and forward, and still others made
anagrams. 1t was fashionable at one
time to write verses in fantastic shapes.
The forms of a bottle, a glass, or n
lady's fan were initiated, and this was
done by lengthening or shortening the
lines as required, though with sad detri-
ment to the verse. Where the design
was n bottle, a number of short lines
would go to form the neck; gradually
~lengthening, the shoulder would be
formed, and then the body.
We read also Of verses arranged in the
form Of ga pair of gloves, a pair of
spectacles, and n pair of pot hooks. {"
Specimens of this kind of literary friv-
olity are to be found in French, Spanish
and English books of the Sixteenth CEN
fury.
Both in China and Japan such literary
feats are held in great esteem, ever in
tho present day; in the latter country the
poet not infrequently arranges his verses
in the shape of n mans head-thus, per,
haps, giving a facial outline of the sub
ject of his verse; and though the Chinese
may not make so nice n choice, choosing,
perhaps, n COW or other animal for the
design, they display greater ingenuity by
50 doing.-Youth's Companion.

What n Metropolitan Artist Says-The
Meaning of Certain CoIors.
There is no more beautiful instru-
ment Of expression" continued the
painter; ''but, alas! it is no longer gen
orally studied. In comparison music
itself is n clumsy vehicle of thought.
No tongue has the depth of tone, the
subtle shades of meaning and the robust
vigor of color speech. In the middle
ages the language was reduced TO n sci
enco and invariably studied MS n prepare
ton for an artistic career. Our modern
school OF impressionists are awaking 10
the Importance of the subject, and the
result may be the renaissance of the
language.
Red is n warm color. Its type is
found in the rainbow or prismatic spec
trum and the common wild poppy. 1t
is indicative of jubilation, victory and
ardent love. By the law of opposites,
that is to say, on the old principle that
extremes meet, it is the emblem of blood
shed and revenge.
In medieval art blue wa eminently
symbolic. Azure was typical of immor-
tally, and it became the bustom to cover
the collins of children with blue cloth.
The ceilings of churches were painted
blue and powdered with stars TO represent
the canopy of heaven over the faithful.
Ihis color was used in draperies by the
Ole masters to typify modesty; and the
Virgin Mary is found in their works
clothed in n blue mantle. In heraldic
shields blue stood for chastity. loyalty
and good repute. From this last sirnif-
cation, doubtless, the term blue blood
took its rise.
Love, constancy and wisdom are the
attributes of yellow. This tint is found
In all its winsome purity in the common
buttercup of the pastures. In China vel
low is emblematic of faith. On the other
hand, yellow tands for treason and ieal-
ousy. In Spain the garb of the public ex-
ccutioner is red and yellow, and symbol
ICES the vengeance of the law and the in
fanny of the criminal. In the olden time
the French were accustomed to daub the
llntels of n traitors house with yellow
paint, and in commemoration of Christ's
betrayal jews were obliged in many
countries to wear garments of the same
color Judas, in the illuminated missals
OF the middle ages was always pictured
in yellow raiment.
Tho secondary colors are equally
pregnant with significance. Brown,
ever since the most remote period, has
been the Ssn Of voc. The dun robes of
certain religious orders are eloquent of
enumeration and penitcnce. Green,
among all nations, Is considered emble-
matte of the joy Of spring and the prom
Use of harvest. With the Greeks it be-
tokened victory. The blended hue of red
and yellow, namely, orange, has been the
symbol of indissoluble marriage from
time immemorinl. Black, the negation
of color, has n universal significance of
grief and mourning. In sacred paint
ings it often looms up on canvas as the
shadow of evil. White, on the contrary,

Our Fresh Water sailors.

The sailors who mar the vessels which
engage in the lake commerce are among
the best in the world. They are brave,
reckless men. They sail their vessels
until the lakes arc ice bound. Storms
have no terrors for them. When freights
are high and the business profitable the
crews of these ships are willing TO sail rs
long as their officers darc keep the en-
gines going or the sails set. A large por-
ton of these men live on farms during
the winter. They own a few acres of
land and their children tend their fields
during the summer, while they sail ships
up and down the lakes.
There is n fascination about life on the
inland water hat attracts families of
men. If an American begins TO follow
the water of the lakes his SONS are sure
to ship us sailors, and their sons after
them. The school of the lakes is the
best schools to produce effective sailors
that | know of. Salt water sailors turn
up their noses at fresh water lubbers, rs
they call them. l know both classes,
and | unhcsitatingly say that the lake
sailors arc vastly superior to those who
sail in ships which ply between Liver
pool and New Hork-and they are tho
best Of the salt water sailors. Tho lake
sailogs are self reliant, rcsourccrul and
courageous. They arc intelligent, skill
full and ambitious. Their duty is to care
for and sail the vessels, and they reso-
lutely refuse 10 handle the cargo or 20
trim the ships. They are well fed and
well paid. Frank Wilkeson in New

If you are sick or ailing, don't depend
too much ON the medicines you take or
the remedies you apply to effect a cure.
TONES and alternatives are of great use,
but attention to the rules of hygiene,
mental as well as physical, will make
them more efficacious. In the first place,
don't give up too easily; have courage;
exert your will power; don't brood over
your aches and pains and symptoms, but
try TO forget them and the chances are
you will forget them SO thoroughly that
when o do by chance remember them
you will wonder where they are. II the
worst comes, and you must give up, then
do SO gracefully and thoroughly, keep
hopeful, and 80 order all pertaining to
your mind as well as your body, that the
best results may be obtained from the
remedies used.
Half of the suffering Of nervous people
comes from their brooding over their all
ments till the imagination gets the upper
hand. Nine times out of ten all their
symptoms would disappear If they would
pay strict attention to their diet, have 1t
light and nutritious, and avoid stimulants
of all kinds-even tea and coffee; battle
daily, using friction with n brush or
towel; take plenty Of outdoor exercise,
whether the weather be pleasant or not;
and try to forget their nerves in pleasant
reading or pleasant company-not excit-
ing company, for that would only irri-
tate-or in c%ongenial work; and If work
they must, and it be not congenial, then
let them make the best of 1t under the
circumstances and do it ''by Gods law"
thoroughly and conscientiously and they
will be astonished to find how the sun
shine will even seem brighter, the icy
wind less cold, the noise less irritating
and their friends 80 much p~leasanter,
when in reality it is all in themselves
they are only taking brighter views of life,
and not causelessly irritating themselves
and others around them. -Demorest's

The Worst nlock In Now York.

It is the block called ''the bend" in
Mulberry street. -Four thousand prison
crs have been dragged out of this one
block in the last two years. Four hun
drcd arrests have been made there in one
night. 1t is here that the crowds on the
sidewalks in the daytime are SO dense
that no one but a policeman can make
his way through there without difficulty.
No one ~begrudges the police this distinc-
ton, I may add. Here each side of tho
street, with its tall tenements, is duplicat-
ed by a rear row of equally big hives, SO
that it is two streets, in reality, instead
of one. Some cities that think them
selves important have no more popula-
ton than this block. The bulk of the
people are Italians. They sleep in the
rooms. n score or more together-men,
women and children-heaped in like

are the foulest wrecks that rum can
make-men and women lettering on the

which is the madhouse and the morgue.
