Nothing 80 Conducive to Health and Grace
as Outdoor Athletics.
Why is it, that ladies, as rule, are
SO averse to outdoor exerciseP It Is
time that any prejudices against II,
such as the thought that it is unlady-
like, were put aside, and a common
| sense, practical view taken. Nothing
is so conducive to health and grace
and beauty as outdoor athletics. OF
course some judgment must be exer-
cised in regard to athletics as we'll as
| to every thing else. Undue develop
ment and over exercise must be guard
ed against But If care be taken, al
most unlimited good will result. Boat
ing is one thing in which ladies can ex-
Gel, ana q person without experience
has no idea how much thorough enjoy
ment may be derived from it
A few simple rules should be care
fully followed. In rowing. the heels
should be placed together, the oars
grasped firmly from above, and the
handles drawn nearly together ready
for the stroke. Then the knees should
be bent little, the arms extended to
their full length, the lungs expanded.
and the oars pulled with q steady, even
stroke, care being taken to keep the
back flat. The beginner should not
row far nor fast, at first, and should
only take short, easy strokes, until by
practice, she can take longer ones
without difficulty. She should never
row so violently as to cause any great
increase in breathing. There is no
more delightful experience than being
able to glide quietly along on some in
land lake, perhaps gathering water
lilies or watching the fish in the water
beneath.
But" you say, 'show about those
who are not SO fortunate as to live near
body of waterP" For these there are
tennis and croquet, and horseback rid

elapse, will be as rugged and sturdy az

| AHealthy Exercise which Deprives Man d
| ALI the Fury of His Nature.
Every human male man, who pos.
sesses even a lingering faint of temper,
should keep an axe and Wood-pile
somewhere handy, that he may rush
out and work of his wrath when Il
wakes fierce. There is nothing in this
vain old world that will send man
back to his appointed work with 9
more wilted collar and truer COM
prehension of himself, than thirty
minutes wrestling with,a full-favored
axe He can use it SO fercely on the
wood. ALI the fury of his nature, all
the hate he feels for his enemy, he can
infuse into that axe-handle, and how
the chips viii fly. Not very artistical-
~, probably, but they will fly. And
presently it begins to dawn upon the
man that he is feeling more
calm. Evidently he is experience
ing q change of heart. He does
not hate his enemy SO bitterly, after
all. The axe weighs about eighty-one
pounds on the up stroke. He does not
hate his enemy at all. He changes his
stroke. and begins to- chop on the sys-
tenn of Italian psnmanship, the up
strokes heavy, and the down ones
light. He rather loves his enemy now.
At last he puts all his failing strength
into one terrific blow. He misses his
tip with the axe and smites the chop
ping block with the handle. A Jingle
as though he had swallowed an alarm
clock goes from elbow to hip and
back again, the axe drops from his
powerless hands, and weak, limp,

lies down on the first thing that looks
like a lounge, and is ready to die.
There isn't fear or fault in his
heart Death has no terrors, and life
has no temptations for him. He has
chopped out all his baser nature, and
is just as ethereal and spiritual as he
can be on this side of the Jordan. It
Is great medicine.

Accident and DELAYED Trains.

There was railroad taDgle near Pinole
yesterday, the result of a collision near
Tones bridge. A construction train en-
gagged in placing the duplicate trsck be-
tween Port Costa and Oakland. by son,s
means not known, met a DELAYED down
freight IN gravel cut about a mile from,
Perole. yesterday about 8 o'clock A. N
There IS curve at that point, and the
trains were upon each other too suddenly
to prevent the collision. The engineers
and the fireman of the freight sprang of.
and escaped, but Ed. Fish, the fireman of
the construction train engine was caught
between the tender and engine floor, and
had his leg badly crushed. A physician
was summoned from Oakland by wire and
Surgeon Woolsen came uD on the Wreckine
train with Superintendent Wilder The
unfortunate mans Lex was still pinned be
tween the timhcrs and could not be re-
moved. The surgeon at once decided upon
amputauon, ana the leg was severed
through the thigh. The unfortunate fire
man suffered greatly during his confine-
ment but bore the pain with fOrtituGe He
was conveyed to Oakland, but it was feared
he could not survive the shock The col
lision wrecked both locomotives, which
were badly telescoped; several cars more or
less crushed, and some Of the train hands
We're bruised slightly. The wreck de
layed the passage of trains some
i've hours and caused an accumulation of
passenger trains either side of the scene Of
the accident and as far back as Port Costa
that made railroading very lively and in
tTicate when once they got started again
The force of men brought to the scene of
the accident worked with the construction
force with great energy, and under imme-
diate supervision of Superintendent Wilder
cleared the track and made pssssgeway to
The right of the wreck with more speed
than was deemed possible by most of those
who viewed the wreck. The first San
Francisco train for Sacramento did not
reach this city until 4:25 P. NJ and the
other delayed trains followed in rapid sue

NEARLY SETTLED
The Final Vote on the MiJls Bill, and
the Probable Result.

The Final Vote on the Mills Bill, and
the Probable Result.
TCoppioA. 1855, by the California Ai,ocaated Press
WASHINGTON. July 17th-The tariff bill
is finished at last. After spending nearly
the entire day in discussing the admins
tration features of the internal revenue sec
ton of the bill, the House settled down to
its work, and in the last hour or two waded
through the last half-dozen pages. A few
fag-ends yet remain to be voted upon,
clauses in the bill which We're passed over
by unanimous consent. OF these the only
one likely to produce the most discussion
is the amendment Congressman Vance, of
Connecticut, has roposed-restoring the
duty on Sumatra tobacco wrappers-and
Vance and Mills are still at loggerheads on
that; but, as other members
of the Ways and Means Committee
favor fixing" Mr.. Vance, it is more
than probable that the gentleman from
Texas will give in.
The outlook tonight is such as to Justify
the assertion made in these columns by
Speaker Carlisle yesterday, that a final
vote on the bill would be had on Thursday.
Mills, however opposes this course, as do
also the Republican leaders, asserting that
it will be impossible to get all their men
there by that lime. Both sides started out
kilograms to-day By the score after men,
bers in almost every section of the country,
telling them to return with all speed 10
Washington to take a final vote on the bill.
Speaker Carlisle, in speaking about the
bill to night, said that he expected there
would be six or seven Democratic votes
cast against the bill. These, in his opinion,
would be Sowden OF Pennsylvania, Merri-
man and Freeman of New York, Williams
and Foran of Ohio, and Boyce of New
York. Randall Will not be present, of
course. II he was he would vote with the
Republicans. Just how Archibald of New
York would vote no one seems to be in
formed, but it is probable that he will, at
the last moment, conclude TO obey the
leaders of his party and cast his vote for
the bill. Three Republicans are likely to
forget the issue upon which they were
elected and vote for the first step towards
absolute free trade. These are Anderson
OF Iowa, Smith of Wisconsin, and Fitch of
New York.

Moro Dynamite,

Some weeks ago the RECORD UNION pub

ing of dynamite bombs by some unknown
parties on the ranch of Mr.. Soule, some
three miles southeast of this CITY, between
the Upper and Lower Stockton roads. The
whole affair was shrouded in 30 III uoh mys-
terry that many doubted the truth Of the

for which his widow now asks for pen

suited from exposure in the Confederate
army. He adds:

poses to Do.
WASHINGTON, July 17th-The select
House Committee on the Importation of
Contract and Pauper Labor will first visit
New York and Boston, and later in the
season will probably proceed to San Fran
cisco to inquire into the Chinese labor
question Morrow of California, member of
the committee, says the operations of the
Committee will not in any way be allowed to
affect the prompt action of Congress upon
the pending bill to give effect to the new
Chinese treaty, but will be mainly devoted
to the ascertainment of facts attending i'm
portatlons OF Chinese laborers across the
British Columbia frontier This will prob.
ably necessitate visit by the committee to
Port Townsend, and if the allegations are
borne out TO the satisfaction of the commit.
tee, 1t Is the expectation that recommen-
dation will be made that negotiations be
commenced with the Government of Great
Britain looking to the imposition of proper
restrictions on this kind of immigratio on.
