What Kisses Have Done.

That kiss has been of Importance
in history we all know. and that wo-
mems kisses have made and unmade
Kingdoms. The most famous of kisses
always seem to me that one, or that
many, given by the Duchess of Gordon
when she recruited an entire regiment,
the Gordon Highlanders, better known
as the Ninety-secOnd, by having each
man take the Queens shilling" from
between her teeth. so that he had, if
he wanted, good opportunity to kiss
her. 1t is almost unnecessary to say
that the gallant laddies who fought so
we'll at Waterloo did not resist the
charm of Il lovely woman's mouth.
However, remember the kiss in vogue
and just remember this, too:
You will find, my dear boy, that the dearly
priced kiss,
Which with rapture you snatched from the
haif-wiing miss,
You give the same girl when you've made
her a Mrs.
This is slangy, but it's the sad, sad
truth.
Do you know how to kissP If you
are man you give semi-scornful
and notwithstanding smile at this
question and make no answer. If you
are Il woman you laugh a merry laugh
and wonder what kind of a kiss you
are expected to be acquainted with.
Why, the latest, of course. And it isP
For your sweetheart to stoop over
you and kiss you just back of your
shell-like ear. If you are wise that is
where you put little perfume, and
the chances are that he will kiss you
not once but twice there and tell you
that kissing you is like putting ones
lips to the heart of a great red rose.
This is natural in him, but it shows
that he does not realize the differ
ence between kiss made perfect by
art and that which is tiower-like by
nature. What do | meanP That the
next thing to kissing a flower is kiss
ing baby. You take that in your
arms, you look in its clear eyes-eyes
that have never been saddened by
looking on anything but the pleasures
of life-you put your lips to its rose
bud of mouth and then you kiss it,
and then you know that you have in
hailed the perfume of a fOwer-the
flower of the fiock,-NeaO York GTdphic

There were two cellars, one opening
out of the other. We had succeeded
in reaching the inner one, and found

Emotional Prodigality.

Something has been wisely said Of
late about the danger of overpressure
in our schools. The time spent in
study that ought to be spent in out
door play or in exercise in gymnasia
is worse than wasted. But the over
pressure of intellectual work would
not be so bad were it not for the emo
tional prodigality of many children
both at home and at school. Teachers
are spurred TO strain pupils to the ut
most that they may meet the coming
tests for promotion. The healthy
spontaneous emotions that make the
delight of childhood to learn are
crushed, and fictitious emotions Of
fear and dread are substituted. At
home the emotional excitement is
often greater than at school. Prizes,
the expectations of parents, piano.
practice, company, parties, dancing,
petting, and reproofs are the stimuli,
eliminating often in late hours spent
in preparing half-dozen lessons for
the next day. The tasks at school,
hard as they are, often are less in-
furious to children than the emotional
dissipation ut home William II. Burn

ruoyorements Ia Building Bara UiTs
Fences

In building barb wire fence some put
the top wires on the outside and the
bottom wires on the inside Of the Gu
closure. A better plan is to have half
the posts set with the required wires
on the outside of the field, and posts
upon tie enclosure, thus having alter
nate posts on either side of the wires.
This Is ~, oerior to the common practice
of setting al the posts in straight
line. Tue former method serves to
prevent the wires being pushed Oft from
either side. In Missouri the general
wire fence consists of three wires at
taohed to posts set sixteen feet apart.
There is tendancy now to add the
fourth wire at the bottom, thereby af
forling a fence practically etsieient

THE GRAY EAGLE NINE.
q Lively Contest Expected In Plac

Lively Contest Expected In Placer
County Land Case.
The following was handed into this Office
last evening for publication:
A case of great importance to land-own-
ers commenced yesterday in the United
States Land Office here before Commits
sioner Hetzell. viz, Mrs. Clementina De-
meria VS.. Gray Eagle Mining Company,
and was adjourned on account, as the
Judge said, OF too much prejudice" The
suit in question involves the ownership of
lots IL and u, township Ii north, range 10
east, of section 6, homesteaded by Mrs. G.
Demeria in November 1886. Since then a
mine has been located on the same piece of
ground by a wealthy San Francisco firm,
and known as the Gray Eagle Mining Com
pany, located in Spring Garden Mining
District, Placer county, with t. G. Derning
ager, the company comprising such we'll
known capitalists in San Francisco as
Messrs. Horton, SearIs, Francis, Stout,
Page and others, besides numerous local
investors, who took shares in the GRAY
Eagle, believing it TO be a good thing,
which no doubt it is, but for whom the
law must decide. Now, we will tell the
shareholders of the Gray Eagle something
they never knew before, viz: Away back
IN 1856 there was mining company ipcor-
porated known as the Hawkeye Mining
Company, composed of Messrs. A Farling,
II. Condor, ]. Condor, James Sebastian,
n. NJ. Mutt, A. WOODBURY., A. Tullweyer
and others, who claimed 100 acres of land,
which covers the present location of the
Gray Eagle, and ran tunnel and worked
out their assessments up to 1885, without
finding mineral in paying quantities.
Now, Mrs. Demeria steps in and home
steads the land. Next on the scene is T.
g. Derning. who locates piece Of land on
the same claim already homesteaded by
Mrs. Demeria, and calls it the Gray Eagle. A
mining company is formed gold is found ~
number of capitalists are let in " to the
secret, the mine is started and shares go up.
Machinery is put in, men employed, and
everything is lovely and the goose-the
golden goose-hangs high; too high for
the shareholders ever to see the color of
her, and from Information received they
never will, but yet they mean to fight for
the ground, and who the lawful owners
are the Courts in the dim future will be
able to tell. Parties say, and they ought to
know, that the honorable company at San
Francisco have been let in for - well,
there will be few more assessments. and
then it will be, Who sailed that mine? and
echo will answer, Who?
Each side had formidable array of wit
nesses on hand, and what promised to be a
highly sensational case was postponed.
Had it gone on the shareholders of the
Gray Eagle would have heard something
drop, and it no doubt would have made
noise that would have been heard all over
the Pacific Coast; and, as they say, coming
events cast their shadows before, it looks as
if the end is not yet.

Professor McKeown.

Professor John McKeown, the wonderful
horse-trainer, gave another interesting and
instructive entertainment last evening in
his tent on Postoffice square, the lot where
the old Catholic Church stood. at Seventh
and K streets. An admirer of horses-and
there are few who do not admire mans
best friend-should not fail TO attend these
performances, and witness what power man
has over this noble animal. How he can
make the most vicious horse understand in
a few moments that he is not going to be
hurt, becomes kind docile and obedient al
most instantly. Last evening his first SUBJ
iect was a young black horse, the property
of Mr.. Suthforth. He was a vicious ami
NAL, has run away with buggy twice, and
on one occasion came near killing his
owner. He was conquered in few min
utes. so that he cared nothing for beating
drums, rafting tin pans, discharging fire.
arms or burning fire-crackers. A horse of
]. w. Hanley, who was wild and treacher-
Gus, was handled in similar manner, with
equal success. The exhibition continues
tonight, and some very wild and vicious
animals will be brought into the ring.

EDS. RECORD UNION The report of the
Chief Engineer of the Water-works to the
City Trustees for the week ending Sunday,
March 18th, gives the amount of water
pumped at 1S,790,750 gallons. In the re-
port yesterday to the Trustees for the week
ending Sunday, March oath, the quantity
pumped is placed at II, ASS, 500 gallons,
making difference of 1881, $50 gallons.
During the week ending March 17ih we
had an abundance of rain, and no water
was used for street or lawn sprinkling,
flushing sewers, blowing out fire plugs, or
building purposes, etc., yet we used over
one million and quarter gallons more
during the week it rained.
BY using 1870, $50 in one week, with an
estimated population of 10000, it places
our water consumption at SO gallons per
capita per day, or nearly double that used
by the approximate average of fifty of the
principal cities of the United States. The
question is what do we do with this large
amount of water per capita, as reported to
be pumped. Yours truly, d. FALcoNER.

Metropolitan Thaater.

Sol Smith Russell, in "a Poor Relation"
had good house last evening. The per-
sonality of the star held the audience in
mirth and fixed attention. The play itself
is very light in plot and purpose, and at
times drags in the development of the
story. But Russell is the chief interest in
it, his inimitable drolleries, his mirthful
popularity of manner, the repose of his
humor, the subtle quality of his wit, made
his comedy effort in the character of Vale
one of the most artistic. 1t uplifted and
buoyed the play and gave to it what inter-
est it had. Russell is a splendid artist in
dry humor, and inimitable in grotesque
character personation. He is. indeed, at
once genius and an artist. He is one of
those who feels the elemental emotions
that underlie real humor, and knows pre-
cisely how to interpret the one and play
upon the other. There was nothing finer in
his performance than the hesitating steps
he took upon the borderland of pathos.
His foot dozen times pressed the thresh-
OLD OF the chamber of tears, but he invari-
ably drew back and converted the pity of
the auditor into merry laughter. His pro-
fesslonal support was good, and in Miss
Merri Osburn he had foil of capital metal.
She is soubrette of uncommon brightness,
ease and naturalness. This is to be said
of Russell's performance as whole, that
with the gauziest of material, the
possible thread OF story and web of plot,
he vitalized the play and made the charac-
ter he assumed the pivot of the comedy,
yet without giving it offensive or tiresome
prominence. In the meantime he kept the
audience in the merriest vi strains by the
droll methods peculiar to him. AS the
success of dramatic performance is 10 be
fairly judged by the enjoyment it gives,
then the verdict must be one of emphasis
in favor of Mr.. RusselPs Vale. Tonight a
change of bill, Mr. Russell appearing in
the eccentric and satirical comedy, "Be-
witched," said by those who interpret
boldly to be farcical scream in three acts.
In this play Mr.. Russell introduces his
character sketches, many new songs and
oddities
