Hints to EMPLOYEES.

There is only one spirit that achieves
great success. The man who seeks only
how to make himself useful, whose aim is
to render himself indispensable to his en-
ployer, whose whole being is animated
with the purpose to fill the largest place
in the walk assigned to him, has in the
exhibition of that spirit the guaranty of
success. He commands the situation, and
shall walk in the light of prosperity all his
days. On the other hand, the man who
accepts the unwholesome advice of the
demagogue, and seeks only how little he can
do, and how easily ne may retain his
place and not lose his employment alto
gether, is unfit for service. As soon as
there is a supernumerary on the list, he
becomes disengaged as least valuable to his
employers. The man who is afraid of do
ing too much is near of kin to him who
seeks to do nothing, and was begot in the
same family. They are neither of them
in the remotest degree a relation to the
man whose Willingness to do everything
possible to his touch places him at the
head of the active list.-Scientifc American

TIE vANDEvER BILL.
Ex-Congressman Page Says that Califor-

Ex-Congressman Page Says that Califor-
mia Cannot be Divided.
WASHINGTON, December 6th.-Ex-Con-
gresham Page of California said to your
Correspondent tonight that he was amazed
that Representative Vandever should have
had the temerity to seriously introduce a
bill proposing the division of California
into two States. Read this section of
Article ". of the Constitution of the
United States" said Mr.. Page. The section
is as follows New States may be ad-
mitted by Congress into this Union, but
no new State shall be formed or erected
within the jurisdiction of any other States
or State, nor be formed by the junction of
two or more States, or parts of States,
without the consent of the Legislatures of
the States concerned, as well as of the Con-
gress."
Read carefully" said Mr.. Page, the
first twenty seven words of this Article,
and you will clearly see that the Constitu-
ton of the United States prohibits the
division of California or any other State OF
the Union"
How about the division of Virginia into
the States of Virginia and West Virginia ?''
asked the correspondent.
THAT was a war measure, and | doubt if
you could find a lawyer of any promi-
nence who would say that the Constitution
of the United States in time of peace gives
any warranty for such division"
"It is contended that Texas has right to
be divided into at least four States" said
your correspondent.
THAT is undoubtedly true" replied Mr..
Page, because when Texas was admitted
she came into the Union with the promise
that her territory might be divided into
States. There was no such provision re-
lating TO a division of California, and the
Constitution explicitly prohibits any divi-
sion of State"
Representatives from other districts oi
the State complain that General Vandevel
introduced his division scheme without
consultation with his colleagues. Vandevel
says he does not think he was called upon
to consult his colleagues to give voice tc
the sentiment of constituency which be
alone represents.

Italy Wants Peace.

ROME. December 6th-In the Senate to-

tions of the Government were regarding
Massowah, and, for information as 10 tae
relations between Italy and France.
Signor Crispi, Prime Minister, ssid he
did not think the Government would
abandon Massowah. Italy desired solely
to exercise ciVilizing mission, and did not
aspire to conquests. In regard TO the re-
laJions between France and Italy, Sgnor
Crispi said:
Our relations with France, which lately
were not entirely satisfactory, are now not
only good but cordial and friendly.
Nothing justifies the supposition that war
with France is probable, or near. Never
| theless, in view of the situation throughout
Europe Italy cannot dream of disarmiug.
On the contrary, owing 10 her position and
engagements, she must labor to perfect her

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
Anteceoents of Policeman Thompson
and John Hayes,

and John Hayes,
SAN FRANCISCO, December 9th Two
years ago John Hayes, who was shot last
Monday night. and W. S. Thompson, the
policeman who shot and killed Rosenbrock
last night, met in stable on Pacific street
and fought with bare fists to settle a grudge
arising from some previous trouble on the
water 'front.' Thompson was getting the
worst of it, when suddenly he struck a
blow which sent Hayes against John Long
ford, who was present to see the fight.
Longford drew knife and plunged it
into Hayes side. Then a man named
Jackson, friend of Hayes, took part in
the row, when one Stevens stabbed him.
The parties were all arrested, but there
was no prosecution, because all was fixed
up. Since the fight Hayes and Thompson
were the best of friends, and when Thomp-
son went on the police force Hayes gave
him revolver, the one Thompson used in
killing Rosenbrock.

aboat an extra session of the Fifiy-frst

that the Republican majority in the House

have g majority to organize, whereas, if
there was an extra session called immedi-

Congressman Morrow's Plan for Identi-

WASHINGTON, December 6th.-At the

Mr. Morrow will urge the advisability of
proceeding to British Columbia to investi-

mittee he will offer bill requiring that
every Chinaman in the United States shall,
within six months after its passage, be Off

registration, by which he may in future be
identified. An absence of the certificate
will send the Chinaman out of the country.

that they were distracted by some one
familiar with the method OF handling
