The Psychology OF YoIitiou.

u ASgNAOAos
We all know what it is to get out OF bed
on a freezing morning in . room without a
fire, and how the very vital principle with
in Us protests against the ordeal, Prooa-
bly most of US have lain on certain morn
ings for an hour at n time unable 10 otace
ourselves TO the resolve. We think now
late we shall be, how the duties OF the day
will suffer; we say 81 must get up, this Is
ignominious," etc. but still the warm
couch feels too delicious, the cold OUTSIDE
too cruel, and resolution faints away aua
p~ostuones itself again and again Just as IL
seemed on the verge Of bursting the resist
ance and passing over into the decisive
act. Now how do we erer get mp under such
circumstances? If / may generalize from
my own experience, we more often IMAM
not get up without any struggle or decl-
sion at all. We suddenly find that we
hare got up. A fortunate lapse OF con'
seriousness occurs; we forget ooth tne
warmth and the cold; we tall into some
reyerie connected with the days life, In
the course of which the idea flashes across
rs, Hollow, l must lie here no longer
AN idea which at that lucky instant
awakens no contradictory or paralyz'ng
suggestions, and consequently produces
Immediately its appropriate motor eheess.
II WAS our acute consciousness OF DOLE u
warmth and the cold during the period OF
struggle, which paraiyzed our acti't,s
then and kept our idea OF rising IN Ine
condition of irish and not OF tr'h' Inc
moment these inhibitory ideas ceased, the
original idea exerted its effects.
This case seems to me to contain IN nun
iature form the data for an entire psychol-
ogy Of y%olition. If we wisely generallze
its teachings we shall say that anywhere
and everywhere the sole knoSs' cd"Se !o'
the ererx5on OF n m~oreusat is tie bare idea
Of the moreme1fs execution, and that If the
idea occurs to a mind empty Of other ideas,
the movement will fatally and intalholy
take place FROM "V1dt the VA ETeets,"

aziRe for February.

BITTER wRANGJLNG.
New York Central Labor Union Has q
Lively Meeting.

New York Central Labor Union Has q
Lively Meeting.
NFw YORK, january 29.-There was a
bitter wrangling at to-day's meeting Of
the Central Labor Union between the
Knights of Labor and their opponents.
The brewery engineers who left the
Knights and organized an open union, are
seeking admission to the Central Labor
Union. This is opposed by the knights
OF the technicality that they have not
been organized six months, as the rules
require.
To-day the metal workers section pre-
sentsd a protest against the admission of
the engineers. The fight at once began
with a motion to table the matter, which
was lost by 2 vote of AZ to 80. A series OF
dilatory motions followed, and the excite
ment increased, several delegates climbing
to the platform and threatening to throw
Chairman McKim TO the floor. Finally
the protest of the metal workers was sus-
tanned by a vote of AZ 10 30, several dele
gates refusing to vote on the ground that
the question mad been improperly ordered
The fight will come up again next Sunday

He Objects to the Proposed Extrsdition
Treaty with Russia.
WASHINGTON, January ga plea for
the rejection of the proposed ~extradition
treaty between the Russian and Uniteu
States Government, has been sent to Sena-
tor Joseph 4. Hawley, of Connecticut,
by Sergius NJ. Stepniak, the Russian Nihi-
list, now located in London. Stepniak
makes a special request that the matter be
laid before the Senate Committee on For
eign relations. Stepniak lays down as his
text that it il the rule with all civilized
that nobody can be condemned
without being heard in his defence, and
that the projected extration treaty. with
the Russian Government, if ratified by the
the American Senate, will be an Wholesale
condemnation to capital punishment OF q
number of Russian patriotic people, desig-
mated AS Nihilists, who may seek refuge
from the despotism of the Car.

CORA LEE ACQUITTED.
The Jury Return q Verdict of Not Guilt
"a WAS ExDAetad.

The Jury Return q Verdict of Not Guilty,
Is was Expected.
SPRINGFIELD, Mo, January 29.-The
trial of Cora Lee for the murder in the
first degree of Sarah Graham, terminated
this afternoon about sis o'clock, in a YER
dict Of acquittal by the jury, after a delib-
Grafton of only about seven minutes. Tears
Of Joy rolled down the cheeks of both Cora
Lee and Mrs. Molloy as they received the
congratulations of their friends. The YER
dict was not unexpected, owing to the
mystery surrounding the murder, and the
contradictory and unsatisfactory evidence.
o. II. Traverse spoke for the defense this
morning, and County Attorney Patterson
closed the case for the State this afternoon.

General Dufield's surveying party in Bell
county, working under order of the United
States Court, is in trouble with the citi-
zens and that a wa is imminent at any
moment. 1t seems the party has been by
8 posse of citizens and ordered to seek 9TH
er parts. The guard has been doubled,
and every precaution taken to resist an
attack. Word from there this morning
says the posse was again on the outskirt Of
the camp armed with repeating rifles, and
. fight is looked for every moment. The
surveyors are at a disadvantage, and in
case of trouble they will be badly worsted.
Bat they propose to fight it if they must.

CONVERSION.
The Instantaneous Conversion sf
Paul.


DIR. w. J. Chichester held forth to a
densely-packed congregation, at the
First Presbyterian Church, yesterday
forenoon. He took for the subject of
his discourse the sudden conversion of
Paul when on his way TO Damascus to
persecute the Christians. The elo-
quent divine said that this conversion
was one of the most wonderful occur
rences in all history. Paul was man
of consequence among the Jews, and,
as he styled himself afterwards,
u Hebrew of Hebrews. His preju-
dices were deep, his mind active, his
convictions strong, his will unbend-
ing and his determination unmovable.
He looked upon the new sect with the
hostility of strong conservatism to
innovation, and he felt no compunc-
tion about prosecuting a sect whose
opinions and standing he held in con-
tempt. When, however, he was sud
denly blinded by u great light and
fell to the earth, and heard the voice
of the Lord call upon him, saying,
saul, Saul, why persecutest
thou me,n and told him
he was Christ, The whole tremen-
dous weight OF his error fell upon him
like a thundeIbolt. His spul was
sorely disturbed, and he saw how
greatly he had offended the true God
by prosecuting his believers. The
Lord of the Christians, whom he had
denied and ridiculed, he was con-
vinced was the true Lord, for he ap-
peared to him in person and spoke to
him with audible voice. He arose
from that wonderful visitation con-
vert to the true faith, and became
the most powerful instrument
ever raised by the Lord to
spread the doctrines of Christianity.
The conversion of Paul was brought
about by miraculous intervention !;
but every conversion possesses in
some way the elements OF the mir
aculous. In his case it was instanta-
neous. In all other cases it is the
same. There may be preparation ;
the convert may have been long u
seeker after truth and may have
wrestled sorely with the spirit; but
WDeu lu6 Clulc ChIut lOT Ills ucW
birth into the family of saints, it was
instantaneous. He woke up new
man, to a new life and to new
and ecstatic joys. No man,
who will earnestly and honestly seek
the Lord will fail to find Him. He is
knocking at the door Of every sinners
heart. All you have to do is to open
it to him and he will enter. Those
who harden themselves against the
grace of conversion are only piling up
fuel against the day Of wrath. The
bene6cent Creator is ready to receive
the worst sinner into his bosom, and
to take away his burdens. All he has
to do is to be willing tc
accept the Redeemer. He will find
Him always ready to receive him
All he has to do is to approach Him
in the right spirit, to give himself
entirely into His keeping, and tc
throw himself unreservedly upon His
mercy. If he will do so, his conver-
sion will surely follow and his peace
of mind will surpass all the joys he
had ever known or dreamed of before

John Higgins was yesterday taken
to the police station by Deputy j. f.
Anderson of San Diego for medical
treatment. Higgins was suffering
from two ugly gashes on his back.
Oae was about six inches long and
nearly two inches deep, in the small
of his back, and his left shoulder was
cut to the shoulder blade. Higgins
said he did not know his assassin was
or why he should have been assaulted
unless it was through mistake, which
he thinks was the case, as the sailor
had some difficulty with an inmate oi
the saloon near where the cutting took
place. The man was arrested by
Officer Anderson and lodged in the
San Pedro lookup to await exam
ination.
