1t now transpires that Sullivan
sprained his right wrist in his COLI
test with Mitchell. In sending in a
swinging highlander his wrist was
caught on the point OF MitcheiPs
elbow, who of course put it there to
catch the blow. 1t is favorlte
trick and wonderfully effective. If
you want to &c. good idea OF its
effect, swing your right arm as hard
as YOU can SO that the tendons OF
the wrist strike the sharp corner OF
a table, and you will get fair idea
of it, A few rounds later on Sulli-
van gave Mitchell full receipt by
catching him the same way. This
accounts for the length of the mill,
as both men were fighting with
one hand only.

Death OF HENRY BERGH'

In the death of Henry Bergh, Of
New York, President of the Society
for the Prevention of cruelty to ami
mails, the horse has lost its best
human friend.
For years this brave and tender
hearted man has battled in defense
of the noblest of animals against the
cruelty, ignorance and stupidity OF
brutal drivers and taskmasters, that
the rights of the horse might be
recognized.
He caused bills to be passed and
enforced the laws until his name
became q terror to the wretches
who heaped on the horse every in
dignity that their hard natures could
devise. By these laws the weight
of loads were regulated, and scores
of obnoxious devices which made
life q hell to the poor beasts OF
burden were done away with. He
began his fight for the horse in the
face of prejudice and ridicule, but
the ability and sincerity OF the man
won him many supporters, and soon
he had the best people of the
country at his back. His labors
we're wonderfully effective, unit; he
became as we'll known a figure on
the streets of New York as was Cen
eral Grant in Washington.

There has been . serious break
in the Republican party at Sacra-
mento. 1t appears that at the Re-
publican primaries at Sacramento
the Republicans resorted to stuffing
the ballot box. The better class OF
Republicans repudiated this dirty
work as they ought to have done,
and have combined with the Demo-
Gratis to elect a municipal ticket un-
tainted by fraud. 1t rarely happens
that there is provocation for a bolt,
but an occasion OF this kind certainly
furnishes q sufficient excuse for
bolt and a combine with any estab-
lished party whose ticket has been
the result of fair primary.
No decent Republican can afford
to vote a ticket which was born in a
stuffed ballot box, and no honest
man would allow his name to go be-
tore the voters when his nomination
sprang from bare faced fraud as
compassed by ballot-stuffing.
The APPEAL hopes the new ticket
will win and teach the ballot-box
suffers that such dirty work will be
no longer tolerated in California.
Judge Beatty, of this city, is one
of the leaders of the revolt against
ballot-stuffing. The move will re-
suit in good to the party and help
it In the Fall campaign.

Some of the newspapers OF San
Francisco, are wasting a good deal
of ink in an Intellectual attempt to
define what fine English is. Fine
English is from the magazines
which would never be read but for
the pictures. Newspaper English
ought to be the English which puts
the most news in the smallest
space, and deals with glittering
peneralities as little as possible.
The masses want the news, and il
the news is properly classified they
do not stop to analyze the English.

Mrs. Jacob S., an estimable woman

covered early in her matrimonial career
that she had not been fortunate in her

to be excessively lazy and shiftless,

"NVhat we need in our church is less
preaching of prohibition and more

nation of a business man to a friend

A New War Story.
New York Herald

Apropos of the Bull Run battlefield
an interesting historical incident is told
which has never found its way into
print. Away back in 1861 Mr.. J. w.
McLain, respected and substantial
Virginia landowner, lived with his
family two and half miles northeast
of the sleepy old village of Manassas.
The southern extremity Of the farm
was bounded by little stream which
has since become famous in history as
Bull Run. On the banks of that stream
twenty-seven years ago yesterday the
advanced post of the Confederate
army, led by General Beauregard,
encountered the skirmish line of the
Union troops under the command of
General Mcdowell. Here then the
first actual hostilities of the war began
some months later.
When all the country hereabout had
fallen into the hands of the federals
Mr.. McLain ''refugeed"-that is to say,
e,nigrated-to the western part of the
State, where he purchased another farm
in the vicinity of Appomattox Court
House. This act placed Mr.. McLain,
who was true son Of the South and
an ardent sympathizer with the Sc
cession cause, within the Confederate
lines, and removed him to what he
regarded as a safe distance from the
hated Yankee invaders. Here he re-
mained until the spring of 1865, when
by the fortunes Of war the dreaded
invader again made his appearance.
This time, however, he came with
peaceful intent. On the farm which
McLain was then contentedly tilling
the two great chieftains of the war,
Grant and Lee, met, and under the
friendly shade of a spreading apple
tree, the negotiations which led to the
surrender of the Confederate arms
were begun. When the terms had
been agreed upon the principals and
their aids sought the seclusion of the
McLain mansion, where the instru-
ment which bound the transaction was
signed and delivered.
And so it happened that WILDER Nc
Lain's Virginia farm furnished the
theatre wherein the opening and clos
ing acts of the great drama of our long
civil war were played. The tableup
which the articles of surrender were
prepared is still in the possession of the
McLain family, who subsequently
returned to their home in this county
where they still reside.

Calhoun's Lecture to Thurman.

From the Rome, Ga, Tribune.]
During the recent visit of a Rome
committee to Mr. Thurman the con-
versation naturally turned upon the
greatest of Southern statesmen, John
G.. Calhoun, of South Carolina. Mr..
Thurman was asked if he had known
Mr.. Calhoun in public life. The re-
ply was interesting. "Ies," said Mr..
Thurman, II knew Mr.. Calhoun
in the closing years of his political
life, which were the opening years of
my own. I shall never forget my first
meeting with him. I was quite young
when I first entered Congress, and my
uncle, then United States Senator
from Virginia, took me the first thing
to see the great South Carolina states
man. Mr.. Calhoun received us kind
ly, and, from the first, devoted his at
tention to me-a young man-to GER
tain extent ignoring his colleague, my
uncle" II believe, Mr.. Thurman, I"
said he, "that this is your first term in
Congress, and from your youthful ap-
pearance I should say you had not long
been out of college" Mr.. Thurman
admitted both propositions. "Well,
sir, while you were in college I hope
you studied the history of Greek Re-
publics! Did you" Mr.. Thurman
gave some enumerations of his studies,
in which general history was included.
"But, sir, as public man, looking for
ward to public life, you should have
studied the history of the Greek Re
publics." "And then," said Judge
Thurman, "for full hour he turned
his attention to me, and I'll guaran-
tee that there never fell from
mortal lips such lecture as the ven-
cradle and distinguished statesman de-
livered to me, an audiecne ofone, upon
the subject Of the Greek Republics.
1t was Il profound volume upon gov
ernment.n Judge Thurman further
said that no living man was ever more
luminous in argument and more I'M
pressive in his sincerity than Mr.. Cal
houn. This republic never procured a
greater intellect.

Break Up the TRUSTS"
T Anderson Intelligencer.

:tUuCISOll llllcIllScllCcl.
This country is now cursed with
coal, oil, beef and sugar trusts, and now
Il miller's ring is being formed to con-
troll the price Of flour. This last is ad-
vocated on the ground that reasonable
shut-downs will for the benefit 0f the
trade" An exchange says: "lt does
not seem to have occurred to the mil
lers that if Il business is Overcrowded it
is fairer for manufacturers to scale
down their prices or so into other busi-
ness than to seek to make the public
support a lot of unnecessary mills.
Nor does it seem to have occurred to
them that the public may object to
having tax placed upon its bread in
order that few millers may keep
up their large incomes. There must
be an open fight against the trust idea,
and such action as that of the millers
hasten its coming" 1t is about time
to stop the formation Of these giant
monopolies to control the prices of the
necessaries of life; and now that they
seek to regulate the price of our daily
bread, the matter is brought home to
every person in the land. Congress
would do we'll to lay heavy hand on
the trusts.

ICED Tea.

Iced tea is Il popular beverage but
how many cooks or housewives know
how to name before the ice is added,
simple as it may seem? Here is
recipe which is said to be infalllble:
Put the tea in an earthen or agate
ware pot and set on the back of the
stove, where the pot and contents will
get thoroughly warm; then pour on
wrter that has been freshly boiled and
boiling thoroughly at the time; let
stand on back Of stove fifteen minutes,
by which time the tea will be perfectly
drawn. Ifyou desire the tea to be per-
fectly drawn. If YOU desire the tea to
be perfect and to remain so, separate
the liquid from the leaves by pouring
it off into another vessel. If your in
tention is to SPOIL it, YOU have only to
boil it and let it remain with the leaves
in the pot.
