Back Rooms Arc Preferred.

How. much of your income do you
have to pay for Office rentY' was asked of
a well-to-do lawyer the other day. His
rooms are on the first floor back of Dia-
mond street law building.
Well" said he, my partner and I
have three rooms. way back, as you
would call 1t, and have to pay for their
use the modest sum of $500 per year. I
feel sometimes that I'd rather be the
owner of large law building than be
an attorney with big practice.
You say your Offices are in the rear;
what do the men in the front of the build
ing pay?"
Not nearly so much. You're surprised?
Well, no doubt; but what say is right,
and III tell you why. Persons occupying
rooms in the rear of building sre will
ing to pay little moro than for front
rooms. This is because they are not an
noyed by habitual Office loafers, Of whom
there ere many; then the man who runs
il just to write q note, Us he says, or
wants to use your desk minute, is TN
known. Fakirs don't find you in the
recesses of your rooms. and the noise and
rumble of wagons ard street life do not
annoy you. These are G few reasons why
back Offices are preferable and command a
higher rate of rent. burg Dispatch.

The son sher and the Hard Shell.

Il Is popular fallacy that soft shell
crabs are different species from hard
shell crabs. Practical fishermen and
scientific books both disprove it. The
soft shell crab is the hard shell crab soon
after it has moulted. Four times year
to the young crab and once or twice a
year to the grown crab comes season of
peril and fear. He crawls into dark
Granny or nook In the rocks, swells out
until he cracks open his shell, and then
creeps out. This operation is sometimes
extremely painful, for his claws are much
larger than the joints through which they
must be pulled, and they are often LAGER
ated in the process. If his flesh did not
become soft and watery before shedding
he could not get out at oil.
When the crab has moulted, the once
mailed warrior, who feared no foe except
O more powerful antagonist of his own
kind, is at the mercy Of any enemy who
can get into his retreat. When the
female crab mouths her male consort
chivalrously guards the entrance to her
hiding place until her skin is covered
with O fresh deposit of lime. The ex-
perienced eye can tell when the change is
approaching. Last year a number of
''shedders" established themselves on the
Thames, few miles south of Norwich,
near Fort Point. They caught hard shell
crabs. imprisoned them in crate be-
meath the water, and when the shells had
been shed, the soft shell crabs" were
shipped to New York and other points,

No song Of bird makes glad the afr,
No hue Of foyer brings to her eyes
Outward glimpse Of Paradise
A thousand miles and half away
My lady Is in love today.
And all her heart Is singing, singing.
And every new south wind is winginz
Tidings glad from her true lover,
And kisses bridge the distance over
Lips to lips and heart to heart,
A thousand miles and half apart

Dirty Folks.

There is something peculiarly
dirty in not letting a man bathe'
There recently came to San Fran
cisco from Australia, pugilist Of re-
markable strength and skill-a man
who is in all probability at least
equal to any fighter in the civilized
world. He is quiet, dignihed,
gentlemanly man, too. His name is
Peter Jackson. AS he was recog-
nized at once as very dangerous
man to stand up with, the San
Francisco fighting men at once be-
came tremendously aristocratic-
turned up their eminent Irish Amer
lean noses, and said, 'Oh no, we
couldn't descend to fight with col
orhd mani" For Mr.. Jackson's
skin is black-didn't we mention itF
They would have descended with q
vengeance, if they had dared to en-
ter the ring with him, and they were
remarkably wise in being SO very
haughty-much wiser than they
were brave. Wen, after awhile the
best Of California pugihsts, Jacl
McAuliffe, was man enough to ar
range for battle with jackson
which is to come off in due season
Mr.. McAuliffe, in this, has show
himself gentleman. We are no
patronizing the prize-ring; but Y
may admire physical strength
skill and courage, and as betwee
Messrs. jackson and McAuhff'
"may the best man win.
But We we're about to remar
that Mr.. jackson was refused lea'
to battle. He desired to pracn'
for swimming match, and for tn
purpose applied at the palace Al
at the Crystal" bathing establis
ments, and was refused at bo
places because he is Q colored ms
AS the water in the bay and oce

Anarchists.

Inspector Bonfeld of Chicago
tells a startling story about the
anarchists of that city. He says
they are more numerous and better
organized than ever, and that they
have become wiser and are keeping
ON the safe side of the law. Also
that they have established a system
of Sunday-schools to teach their
doctrines. The daily papers are
printing this stuff with sensational
display heads, as if it amounted to
something terrible. If it does, the
American kind of freedom is not
worth a cent. Let those fanatics 60
on lust as they are doing, and keep
within the law, and they will harm
nobody but themselves, and if there
is danger that it will be otherwise
The way to prevent the danger is t.
teach better. If Gods Sunday
schools can't get the better of tn
devils Sunday-schools the devl
will have to get away with the com
munity, that's all, but we don't be

The TX. Of L.

The annual report of the Treas
surer of the order just presented at
Indianapolis, looks pretty blue.
The number of members has fallen
off by 10000, and it is necessary to
cut down expenses by $4,000 a
year. Mr.. Powderly's $4,000 salary
must come down again to $4,000, and
SO on. We do not rejoice at this
news, but it is no doubt true that
the constitution and management of
the Order require to be greatly
trengthened if it is to continue to
have any efficiency.

Rev. DR.. Dowie and Mrs. Dowie
have now concluded their months
mission in San Francisco. The re-
suits Of their labors have been 50
encouraging that they will begin g
third series Of meetings for another
month, to begin Sunday November
25th at the Central Presbyterian
Church, corner Of Golden Gate
avenue and Polk street. All per
sons are invited to- attend. One
interesting result Of their labors has
been the establishment Of the

A Labor Question.

We would gladly have one ques-
ton discussed at the labor meetings.
It is of much Importance to all
working people. 1t might well have
been considered at the annual
general assembly of the Knights OF
Labor, at Indianapolis. So it might
at the coming convention OF trade
unions to be held in this city next
week. It is this: How are we to
raise wages of labor, without raising
the price also of everything that
labor produces? The great demand
of working men is for better wages.
Now it seems clear enough that II
boot and shoe manufacturers have
to pay higher wages they will have
TO charge more for boots and shoes.
So the tailor who pays more to MS
iourneymen will have to charge
more for his clothes; and so all
round. How can this be helped
It will not do to answer that the
higher wages must be taken out ol
the profits of employers. There may
be a few cases where this might bt
done, but it can't be done every
where. A good many people ar
saving that Mr.. Andrew Carnegi'
gets too much money, but teV
indeed are the employers who ar
making a million and half a year
The great majority of employers ar
really not making too much money
One answer to our question is: In
troduce cooperation. This will sc
cure better pay to working men
without raising the price of commod
tiles. But there are practical diff
culties about cooperation. We d
not pretend that it is the onl
remedy. What we suggest is tina
the labor organizations discuss tn
matter.

a Chance for Work.

Chinese laborers are becoming
scarce. It is reported that Califor-
MIA needs to-day thirty thousand
work folks This state of things
opens up a great field for colored
labor; for in great part of Califor-
MIA during much of the year the
climate is like that of the Southern
States, and at the same time the
state of things is such that colored
men coming from the Southern
States to this coast will much better
their condition. They can get bet
ter wages and they will be able tx
vote too. Some efforts have alread,
been made to import colored labo
| into California, and with fair de
gree of success. A fraudulen
scheme on pretence of similar un
dertaking, has just been broken u
IN San Francisco; but the failure {
fraud is no argument against a
honest undertaking. The railroad
have already given liberal aid
such an enterprise, and sta nd read
to do it again. A business-hke el
terprise to bring laborers from Il
Southern States to California, pushe
with energy, would certainly be su,
cessful. Who will begin it?

the collection of delinquent taxes for the

CITY Prison on charge of felony embez-
element, on n warrent sworn to BY Mayor
Pond. Colin NJ Boyde, the Chairman OF

Pond swore out the warrentl, alleges that
Gavigan has collected delinquent taxes TO
the value of $1,000 and has not turned
over the money to the city. The Com
mittee is still examining Gavigan's books.
Gavigan refused to make any statement
Alta
Gavigan is a reckless, loose
witted, careless, useless sort OF a
ward politician, and entirely unit
to be in any Office of trust, but we
do not believe he is criminal. 1t
is altogether probable that his
accounts are mixed. but we do not

Is it ell owing to the Ladies alone
or does the Importer assist them
