Courtesy in Command.

A certain Northumberland of cav
airy was noted for his profanity, but
one day he met with deserved re-
buke. General Custer was with him
when he rode up to sergeant of the
guard in his regiment, and swearing
at him furiOusly, ordered him to at
tend to matter that had been neg
lected, The man folded his arms and
stood at bay looking the officer square
in the eye.
"Do you hear me ?" asked the co..
onel, with another oath. "Why don't
you do as 1 tell you ?"
"When receive proper order ]
will obey" said the soldier firmly,
1.-The articles of war forbid you to adj
dress me in the language you have
used"
General Custer laughed, with a
keen appreciation of the state of af-
fairs.
Hes got you there ~ he said to
his subordinate.
The colonel at once changed his
bearing, and apologized with very
manly frankness.
"Seargeant," said he, "you are
right, and L apologize. l should not
have addressed you as 1 did"
Then he gave his orders, the man
touched his cap respectfully, and
turned away to fulfill the command.
The colonel, moreover, had risen
many degrees in the estimation of his
soldiers.

Stung but not Disheartened.

When Salmon P. Chase was a stu
dent in the boarding-school of his
uncle, Bishop Chase. he was stoop-
shOuldered, stumbling, slouchy lad,
and had bad impeachment in his
speech, AS he was walking one day
along the road, two rail-splitters by
the roadside, struck by his odd ap-
pearance, stopped working and gazed
upon him with curious eyes. "What
awkward fool is that ?" asked one of
them of his fellow, THAT'S the
Bishops newhew," replied the
other, with a sneer of contempt,
land he hasn't enough spunk in him
to amount to anything ~ Young
Chase heard his uncomplimentary
speech. and it stung him sorely; but
instead of allowing it to Gepress him
he let it serve as spur to efforts to
conquer his defects. He submitted
to severe gymnastic training until it
made his person erect, dignified. and
even majestic. He practiced speak
ing until, like Demosthenes. he con-
quered his imperfect speech. He
studied with unresting diligence I'M
til he mastered the science of law,
and finally won distinction as Chief
Justice of the Tn ted States Supreme
Court. To that youth who is bur-
dened with defects of person or lack
of culture the voice of Justice Chase
cries as from the dead, "Be not dis
heartened by rebuke, by scorn, or by
difficulties! Resolve to be all that is
possible to your capacities! Work
hard. Persevere, trusting in God,
and YOU will surely win some prize
in the lottery of life. "-Ou' Youth,

So saying she stuck her teeth
through the nape of his neck and

more than he had bargained for. and
he squaked shrilly with the pain.
"Ah," said the cat. "a rat who
knows he has but "A few minutes to

brow and intellectual head and which
rendered prominent his aquiline nose

dropping moustache and pointed
goatee. The oft caricatured Adonis
curl fell above alert and piercing eyes
and gave to his blond complexion
an expression of afiectation strangely
in contrast with the general solidity
and firmness of the Saxon contour OF
his face. Intensity of spirit and in
tegrity of purpose was shown from
his chin to his crown. He was Il
a trained athlete, and nothing pleased
him better than to don the gloves

EXCESSIVE tariff is direct protec-
ton to capital, and its benefit to labor
is OF the most shadowy sort. The
economist who said "wben you see
two bosses chasing one man, wages
are high but when you see two men
chasing one boss, wages are low" hit
the nail on the head. With no re-
striction on the millionaire to prevent
his getting all the cheap labor he
wants from abroad, excessive imposts
will result in no good to the poor man,
1t will not add cent to his wages
where it will add ten to the cost of his
shirt, twenty to the price Of his boots
and a hundred to what he pays for his
coat.

Much complaint is made by citizens
dwelling near the bridges on the river,
and those en- a few of the chief streets
OF East Los Angeles, concerning the
driving OF large herds of wild cattle
and vast flocks of sheep through the
city and across the viaducts. The ex-
ception seems to be well taken. The
cattle brought here from the Terri
tories are very dangerous. One can
well imagine what may result at any
moment to some one walking or dfiv-
ing over the Buena Vista street bridge
and meeting herd of long horns.
1t is dangerous to the viaducts,
too, for ii one of these bands ever gets
stampeded on one of them it is quite
likely to go down. The bridge ever
the San Gabriel at Los Nietos was de-
stroyed in this way last summer. By
all means inhibit the driving OF cattle,
sheep and horses through the city
during the day hours; let this be done
at night, and then let the river bed be
used, not the bridges.

A Fine Road Improvement.

We are glad to see that the Mission
street road, from the intersection o.
the extension OF Macy street beyond
the covered bridge, to the public park
at East Los Angeles, is being improv-
ed. The sidewalks all along have
been curbed and the street cut down
and leveled. When finished it will
be one of the finest avenues on the
east side, and contribute very materi
ally to the value OF property along its
line for handsome homes. The street
will be we'll packed and rolled
so as to give solid foundation for the
surface paving, which will consist of
red gravel taken from hill in the vi
cinity. A layer of four inches of this
gravel will be laid, thoroughly soaked
with water and then packed with a
twenty-ton roller. This will be repeated
with another four.inch layer of red
gravel, the whole nicely rounded off.
1t will thus be seen that the Mission
street road will soon be one of our
pleasantest drives, and not, as he eto-
fore, either a dusty, rutty thorough
fare in summer, or Z cut-up bog in
winter.

The election to determine whether

THE election to determine whether
the new charter will be adopted or
not is set for the 9TH of May. We gee
that a proposition has been made by
the friends OF the charter in the City
Council to get the Freeholders who
framed the instrument to call public
meeting to discuss its provisions. If
it is to be free discussion on both
sides there is no objection to
such a meeting. But if it is
to be meeting, got up with
official sanction, only to entertain
one side OF the question, no good will
come of it. A full, free and fair dis
cussion is what measure of this
Importance should be accorded.
Whilst much can be said in favor of
the instrument, yet it has defects OF
so gross and impractical character
that it would be calamitous to adopt
the measure when it can be SO easily
remedied by the substitution of q per
feet charter. The article on streets and
street grading is dangerously faulty.
There should be limit to repairing
at the expense OF the property 'front.'
ing. In all cities when streets are
substantially paved with perfect
pavement, and accepted as such by
the municipality, they then become a
general charge. When street grade
is once established, a change which
damages any property built with re
gard to that grade, should make the
property benefited, or the city
liable to the parties damaged
by the change. That is proposition
which rests on an immutable princi.
pie OF justice, and it should net be
left in the power of a majority to vio'
late it. The fatal error of submitting
a charter which renders it impossible
to have legal Board of Health is one
of those blunders which 30 amount o.
merit in the rest of the instrument
can condone. Under this proposed
charter the city would find itsel
with two Boards OF Health, neither o.
whose acts would bear the test Of jul
dicial scrutiny. Hence, we would
probably have none. A municipality
without Board of Health would be
about as efficient for practical pur
poses as a man without head, fiie
engine without hose or water, or &
steamboat without propelling power

sandbagged and Robbed.

A young man named John Kei
came to the police station last night al
about 9:30 O'Clock in an excited con-
dition and his face despatched with
blood. He said he had been knocked
down and robbed at Main and Twelf, b
streets by two unknown men. The
robbers procured only 50. so from their
victim, which was all the wealth he
had. The young man had badly
bruised face and his wounds were
dressed before he went away from the
station. The police have no clew to
the robbers.

WHEN the charter is voted upon on
the 7th OF May, every man who wishes )
to see popular methods prevail in our
municipal government, should vote
down the blunderine instrument which
takes too much power from the peo-
pie, and centers it in the hands OF a
ring Of politicians.
