WHAT IT Is TO BE FORTY.

To discover sprinkle of gray in your beard
thlnness of crop where the upland is cleared.
10 note how you take to your slippers and
gown,
And hug to the fire when you get home from
town
All, that's what it is to be forty.
To find that your shadow has portlier grown.
Inat your voice has practical, bus ness-like
tone;
That your, vision is tricky, which once was so
And a hint OF a wrinkle is coming to light
Ah, that's what it is to be forty
A sic 'gh ride, party, dance or dine;
why, OF course, you'll be present, you never
decline,
But alas there's no invite, you're not "young
folks" you see;
You're no longer peach but crabapple tree
Ah, that's what it Is to be forty.
A daughter that grows like lily, queen
And that blooms like a rose in garden of
green,
A dapper young clerk in an ice cream saloon,
Both dude and Ounce, is to carry off soon:
ana boy that Is ten and the pride of your
eye,
Is caught smoking vile cigarettes on the sly
All, that's what it is to be forty.
At twenty man dreams of fortune and fame
AT thirty his fire has a soberer flame:
AT forty his dreams and his visions are DER
And he knows and he feels as he ne'er did
before,
That man is tool till he's forty.

Profit I'm Oranges.

While in Oroville the other day, D. n.
Friesleben informed US that he had pur-
chased the crop of oranges On seven trees
for 500. This is about SIS per tree. The
trees are six years old At the rate of 100
trees to the acre, this would pay reason
able income. 1t is safe to say that in this
section an acre of oranges will pay 81 900

TO A NEwFoUNDLAND DOG.

When some proud son of man returns to earth.
Unknown to glory, but upheld by birth,
The sculptors arts exhatsts the pomp of woe,
And storied urns record who rests below
When all is done, upon the tomb is seem
Not what he was, but what he should have
been;
But the poor dog, in life the firmest friend,
The first to welcome, foremost to defend,
Whose honest heart is still his masters own,
Who labors fights, lives, breathes for him
alone,
Unhonored falls, uunoticed all his worth
Denied III heaven the soul he held on earth.

Pass OMIT honors none you wish to mourn

Our orange trees are now getting in fine
work as advertisers. Unhappily, they can
not walk about like sandwich men, that
all might enjoy them. They shine out
like lights in dark places against the more
somber foliage of November. The orange
is peerless tree, and would triumphantly
decorate the most desolate corner in Cali
fornia. In golden-bearing it has festive
Christmas-like air that is magnetic any
where. 1t will captivate the stoutest heart
steeled with cold facts; and it is sure
magnet to fix the wandering stranger
within sight of its glittering consultations.

THE local OPPORTUNITY.

With Warner Miller as the candidate of the
Republican party, and with David Is. Hill as
the candidate OF the Democracy, at once
and by very virtue of that situation, all that
is excellent in public sentiment turns in
stinctively toward the Republican standard.
and all that is base and degrading is drawn to
the standard of Hill and the Democrats. Never
has there been in this State campaign in
which the line was more clearly drawn between
the good and the evil Of politics, the welfare
and the injury Of the State. This is partic-
ularly to the advantage OF the Republican
party in its National contest, because 1t shows
in a glazing light the real character OF the
Democracy, which, with an utterly brazen
disregard of moral considerations, has thus
officially denied that it has any desire to grow
respectable. For our part, being mindful OF
the Scriptural assurance that leopardS won't
wash, we never supposed it had, but there arc
some credulous people who have been hoping
against hope, and to them the present condi-
ton Of things in this State must speak with
convincing force.
Now. il happens that this city is the most
important if not, indeed, the deciding battle
ground in both the Nation and the State This
is well understood, and the question that the
politicians generally are considering IS that OF
tactics in the contest here. The question OF
tactics IS undoubtedly most important, but
so soon as tactics are looked at apart from
principles a certain serious risk is run. Tactics
must be harmOnized with principles or they
cease to have any virtue, and become-to the
Republican party, at leaSt-a source OF peril
rather than Of strength. The Republican party
always occupies difficult position in this city,
but to-day, in the campaign now upon us,
its position is exceptional. 1t always has the
moral advantage Of its opponents, but 1t has
never before enjoyed such great and peculiar
moral advantages as are now at its command.
Wisely used they must give to the Repub
Leans a complete and overwhelming victory
in the Union, in the State and in the city too.
The Democrats are going to lose many votes
on the issues perSonlied in both Cleveland and
Hill. The National issue is industrial. and
the workingmcn, as we'll as those whose in
terest in the result is less direct and immediate,
are becoming alive to their danger. Hundreds
Of men who have heretofore supported the
Democratic ticket will vote for General Har-
rison. The State issue is one of public moral
ity. Hill represents all that is vicious, dema-
gogc and unprincipled in politics. Warner
Miller is an upright, conscientious, honorable
man Of signal ability. Hundreds Of men who
have heretofore voted the Democratic ticket
will vote for Senator Miller as against HILL
1t is the obvious duty of tie municipal Repub
lican organization to further each Of these
Democratic revelts and also to profit BY them.

YELLOW FEVER IN NEW-YORK.

The sudden death Of man so well known
as Professor Richard A. Proctor is sufficient
" startling event of itself it is made doubly
SO by the undoubted fact that his death was
due to yellow fever. But we wish to take the
earliest opportunity to declare that there is not
the slightest reason for panic. The city s
Health authorities have taken every possible
precaution to prevent the spread of the con-
tagion. The last case of yellow fever in New
York occurred year ago last winter, when the
disease was instantly stamped out. So it will
almost certainly be in the present instance
Besides, we are close to the time Of frOst-in
fact. a cold wave of more than usual rigor is
looked for to-day-and it is well established
that this form Of fever is decisivey checked
by low temperatures. Sporadic cases Of vel
low fever are not infrequent in different parts
Of the country, but with reasonable precau-
tions the disease can be kept within the mar
rowest limits. 1t IS the clear duty OF the
Health Department to exercise the utmost
vigilance and to be on guard for any possible
outbreak of the disease. We are convinced
that the authorities are on the alert, and that
everything needful will be done.
Professor Proctors death will be widely la
mented He was well known both in the
United States and Great Britain as lecturer
and writer On scientific, and especially on
astronomical subjects. 1t was his gift to pop
ularize knowledge, and his range was WIDE.
As an instructor of the people, both from the
platform and in a large variety Of literary
channels, he did most excellent work How
he contracted the disease which caused his
death is not known with exactness. He came
from Florida to this city on Monday with a
clean bill of health, and when Frustrated he
could not believe that yellow fever had at
tackled him. As he had been for a consider
able time on his farm in Florida, there must
have been some exposure to the disease Of
which he was not aWare.

IL 4NTE PAPER-
Free Trade.

One of the gross disfigurements of our streets
is the waste paper that litters the sidewalks
and the roadways newspapers, circulars,
scraps Of every kind, all Of them filthy, blown
here and there by every breeze, an offence to
the eye and often the means, no doubt, Of
carrying the seeds of disease. Is there no way
of stopping this ? Dirty streets are bad enough,
but when there is added to the ordinary dirt, to
which we have been accustomed from time
immemorial, this muck of dirty paper, the COM
bination is utterly vile. 1t ought to be pos
sible for people that put down the greatest
rebellion the world has ever seen to devise
some means to keep the streets of its cities
clear of filthy paper. Scavengers might be
appointed whose sole duty it should be to re-
move papers, just as there are men on one or
two streets who keep on the tracks of the
horses. One way of diminishing the evil would
be for merchants to give up the practice Of
distributing circulars, which are now univer-
sally regarded in the light of a nuisance, and
advertise in the newspapers The average man
feels that he has a grudge against tho dealer
who forces a circular upon him. Their day
is past.
This condition Of things eXciteS the surprise
Of foreigners who come here. 1t may be more
of an cSthetic than a sanitary consideration
but it has its importance from both points of

avery day. Efforts to belittle his public Ser
vices have met with such evidence OF popular
disapproval as long since to compel their aoan-
donment. Misrepresentation of his record have
brought such discredit upon the heads OF those
responsible for them that they too, have been
recognized as unsafe weapons. His character
as man has appeared in harmony with his
accomplishments as a statesman, and to re-
spect the people have added the tribute of sin
cere admiration. They see in the Republican
candidate not merely one who has performed
his duties as an American citizen with rare
fidelity, high motives and uncommon skill, but
they discover in him a combination Of personal
qualities that has given him unique position
in this hot battle of party principles. He is
shown to be in all essential respects an ideal
candidate.
This counts for great deal with the Ameri-
can people. The Nation generally knows little
of its prominent political characters beyond
the record of their official sayings and doings.
1t has not time to 60, nor is there any reason
why it should go, into the more intimate circle
animated by their personal influence and quail
tiles. But this circle is heard from quickly

As public man, General Harrison stood in
a prominent and commanding position when
he was chosen as the exponent and personlica-
ton Of his party's principles He had been
active and powerful among the National Re-
publican leaders. He had made a dstn-
gushed reputation among those who were
conceived to be the ablest and worthiest Of
their party His nomination was in no sense
an experiment. The great convention at
Chicago. drawn as directly from the people as
could be possible under any scheme of repre-
scntation. did its work carefully. deliberately
fully mindful Of its responsibility to the Ma
ton. Nearly three months have elapsed since
il selected General Harrison As the representa-
tive Of its patriotic aims and purposes. 1t did
not lack for material from which to make It's
choice. but from among a score OF men whose
achievements, in any instance, would have dig
nified the campaign, it selected him as, on the
whole, the one best equipped to serve the coun-
try in this particular emergency.
Certain it is that no convention charged
with this highest and graveSt Of duties has
seen at this stage Of a campaign surer evidences
Of popular approval than that which met
last June in Chicago. General Harrison has
risen in the esteem and favor Of the people
