Mrs. Stowe and Her Brother.

Mrs. Stoves forthcoming autobiog-
raphy will contain the following eX-
preston of her views regarding the
scandal in which her brother Henry
was involved. Her statement was a
reply TO George Eliot, the English nov
elist, who had written her a sympathetic
letter: " He has had the misfortune of
a popularity which is perfectly phe-
nomenal. l can not give you any idea
of the love, worship, idolatry with
which he had been overwhelmed. He
has something magnetic about him that
makes everybody crave his society
that makes men follow and worship
him. But all this time | saw and sus-
pected the two men who have brought
on all the prosecutions. | saw the long
haired, handsome Tilton following,
fawning, caressing, using and abusing
his contiding nature-but in vain. Ny
brother is hopelessly generous and con-
fiding. His inability to believe evil is
something incredible, and so has come
all this suffering. You said you hoped
| should be at rest when the first inves-
tgating committee and Plymouth
church cleared my brother almost by
reclamation. Not So The enemy had
so committed themselves that either
they or he must die, and there has fol-
lowed two years of the most dreadful
struggle. In all this long history
there has been no circumstance of his
relation to any woman that has not
been worthy of himself-pure, delicate
and proper-and | know all sides of
him, and certainly should not say this
if there was even a mispiVino Thank
God, there is none, and | can read my
New Testament and feel that by all the
beatitudes my brother is blessed. His
calmness, serenity and cheerfulness
through all this time have uplifted us
all. Where he was there was no anx-
iety, no sorrow"

Getty of the Dead" He accepted the
invitation, although no day was named.
Knowing his love for classic arch@ol-
ogy, the authorities did not doubt for a
moment that he would fall in with all
their plans. So they fixed upon Sun
day, and on Saturday morning it was an
nounced in all the papers that a special
steamer would take Mr.. Gladstone
and family, the authorities and news
paper correspondents to Pompeii,
where there would be an excavation.
But they" counted without their host,'
or rather their guests, for the "grand
old man" firmly but politely informed
them that he did not use the Sabbath
for mere worldly excursions" that they
must change their whole plan, or he
would not 90. And yet, without his
knowledge, the correspondents, seeing
the announcements in the Saturday pa
pers, without further inquiry tele-
graphed to their journals in England,
France and Germany, which published
on Monday morning, that Y yesterday
Sunday Mr.. Gladstone went on an
excursion to POmpeiiP' Many were
the recriminations in the opposition
journals and in the religious weeklies
in England, and some, not opponents,
deplored that he should set such per-
nicious example. Yet on that Sabbath
Mr.. Gladstone was in his regular place
at church, and did not visit Pompeii
until the Tuesday after.-Erchdnge.

Parents and Children.

1t is not unfrequently the case that
parents who fondly love their children
constantly neglect them in the pursuit
of their own personal ambition and in
terests. If children do not find fellow
ship with their parents they seek it
somewhere else. They hunger and
thirst for sympathy and communion
and if it is denied them at home they
will find it abroad. An Indianapolis
paper recently reported the case of a
felon who was brought before the bar
of the court to receive his sentence.
The Judge whose painful duty it was to
pronounce the sentence had been init
mately acquainted with the culprit's
father, and knew him to be learned
lawyer, the author of famous work on
some phase of legal science. Surprised
and grieved at seeing the son of so eX-
cellent man in the felon's dock, the
Judge asked him if he remembered his
father. Perfectly" was the reply.
He had one invariable way of address
ing me. Whenever / entered his pres
ence he would say, Run away, my lad
and don't trouble me-"

In his speech at the Dean Stanley
commemoration meeting James Rus
sci Lowell told of a tombstone in the
neighborhood of Boston on which was
recorded the name and date of the death
of wife and mother, and then the
words, "She was so pleasant" APP
plying this thought to the subject of
his address, Mr.. Lowell added: CT
think no man ever lived who was so
pleasant to so many people" The
whole force of the sentence lies in that
later half of it, for everybody knows
how easy il is to be pleasant at times,
and TO certain people, but when it
comes to so many ahl there's the
rub; for no man, be he dean or deacon,
or nobody in particular, could ever win
like encomium by being pleasant only
when it was pleasant to be pleasant.
Very lovely must have been the life of
the New England mother whose biog-
raphy could thus be summed up in one
short sentence which yet leaves nothing
to be told, and of that other mother
whose resting-place in an Old England
church-yard is marked with marble
slab bearing the beautiful words: She
always made home happy Many a
time must the outcries of wearied
muscles and overtaxed nerves, not to
speak of sOrrow-smitten hearts, have
gone unheeded in order that the face
might seem full of sunshine to the
sharp eyes ever upon it. 1t may APP
pear hard thing to say, but can't be
gainsaid, that there is no duty more
largely neglected by the average every
day Christian than the duty of being
pleasantl-which, in view of the fact
that no other duty is so easy of per-
Torrance, and costs so little, seems
passing strange, particularly when, of
all people in the world, Christians ought
to be the most cheerful in their social
relations. Understand me. | have no
reference to that thin veneer of genial
ity which the gruffest of us can assume
together with our company manners
There is something so patiently insin-
cere about this that it hardly deceives
even the children. Nobody would earn
the Massachusetts, mothers epitaph,
though they practiced that kind of
pleasantness all their days. True
pleasantness, like true beauty, must be
more than skin deep. 1t must have its
roots in the heart ere it flower forth in
the face to brighten and bless. If
Christians only realized as they should
the gain of being pleasant, they would
surely take more pains to cultivate the
grace. "-Smddy- School Times.

Friendships in Congress.

You can look down from the gallery
of either house on intimacies between
professed opponents like that between
Steele and Carlisle. The ingenious Mr..
Pickwick was not more astonished at
the amiable relations of the opposing
counsel in the great case of Bardwell u.s.
Pickwick than is the average thick-anG-
thin partisan by the personal friendli-
ness shown by the hottest orators on
the floor for the boldest leaders of the
opposition. Everybody knows how in
innate Senator Cameron and Senator
Butler of South Carolina are. How
they talk together in the senate, lunch
together, drive together and hunt and
fish together, in closer bonds than
either is with any party friend. AL
lison's friendship with Beck, and Reeds
with Randall are perhaps not so gen.
orally known. Hawlev has many
friends on the democratic side, and 20
have Sherman, Morrill,, John p. Jones,
Evarts, Aldrich, Hale. Sawyer. SpoOner
and MandC rson, while Wade Hampton,
Vance, CoIqultt, Payne and McPher
son are equally popular on the republic
can side. Even Edmunds and Hoar
have had their friends among the
democrats. Hoar still keeps his, but
Edmunds seems to grow more reserved
continually. lie misses Thurman from
the democratic side. They were great
cronies. John d. Long was the most
popular republican on the democratic
side of the house. Mckinley and Reed
are both liked there, and so is Butter

popular democrat on the republican
side, and then comes the Breckinridges

The Crust of Tartar

Speedily leaves the surface of teeth
upon which the cleansing and preser-
vative influence of SOZODONT is daily
eXerted. No form of decay can infest
a set of "ivories " upon which it is
used. 1t has, moreover, a most re-
freshing effect upon the mouth, in
which it leaves a very agreeable taste,
besides rendering the breath fragrant.
If the mouth be rinsed with it after
smoking, the taste of the tobacco is en-
tirely dissipated. As an auxiliary to
personal comeliness it cannot too highly
be eXtolled. Sold by druggists.

poetic blush; "never but once, and

inquired her friend, cautiously. But
the caution was of no avail, and she

The Face.


The face is page that is printed
All over, and legibly, too,
with inward feelings and inward thoughts
That we fain would hide from view.
The face is a bold portrayer,
chart OF the spirits great deep;
A tell-tae a babbler, pratng child
That never a secret can keep.
The face is n tablet, engraven
And chiseled with symbol and sign;
But never shade or stroke too deep,
Nor false or meaningless line.
The face is a mirror, rejecting
with more than the precision of art
Aud the beautiful face is that which reveals
The beauty Of soul and heart.
As in the painting the artist we find,
In the statue the sculptor we trace,
So the Master Spirit that works and rules
We may see in each human face.
For there Is u Power behind and beneath,
A power Of strength and Of grace;
The mind, as sculptor, sits within
And chisels and mouds the face.

THE POOR BURSrED BOOM!
How Real Estate Has Fallen OFF
I'm Value!


Some three and half years ago, when
the Triennial Conclave of Knights Tenn
plar met in San Francisco, one of the
delegates fell in love with this State, and
determined, by all means, to make this
his future home. At the Bay City and
all through the upper country he heard
no word about Los Angeles excepting
those decrying her worth. At the
same time. they told him prices
of real estate we're at an enor-
nous pitch in the lower counties.
The tenderfoot returned to his Eastern
home, cold all he had and come to Cali
fornia. He could buy a ticket to San
Francisco via Los Angeles as cheap as
via Sacramento, so he decided to come
this way. The result was as usual. He
came, he saw and was conquered. At
the time of his first visit to the State, lots
out on Flower street below Eighth, were
freely offered for $500. 1t happened
that the newcomer settled there.
He is living there now. He has
an Office where he is practicing law
in the city. One day recently eigh-
Dor came to him and said he heard there
was big boom in Denver, and he
wanted to go there; he would take So 900
for his lot-the house is not worth much
ON Flower street, just below Eighth.
In the meantime, there arrived here q
new arrival from Denver, who had re-
Gently sold $4,000 worth Of property
there, and brought the money here to
invest. He heard of the AngelefIo 30
anxious to get to Denver, and thought
he would help him to go, so he went to
him aud finally bought his lot for $4,000.
The very day on which the papers
passed, real estate agent, in inquiring for
lot on Flower street, about Eighth or
Ninth, for which he had customer at
about $5 900, heard of the lot in question
and went to the premises to see the
owner. "Oh!" said this man, so anx-
ious to shake the dust of the city from
his feet; 81 have just sold it to this man
here in the yard. He paid me $4, 900,
all cash, for it."
"Will he sell it at an advance ?"
queried the agent. 81 will give him
S. 900 for it,"
The proposition was made to the new
purchaser to make 81 900 by writing his
name, but he replied, "No, | think not:
l have looked around good deal, and l
regard this lot cheap at So 1000. 1t is
worth more. In fact, had made up
my mind to pay more than So, 900 for it,
but as Mr., - was so anxious to &c
to Denver, paid him $4,000 OF Denver
money for it, saved 81, 200 or 81 500 for
myself, and made him happy"
The look on the face of the seller al
that moment showed too plainly how
lawfully jolly" he was iust then. The
marvel is that property eligible situated
is still worth money here, and that while
foolish people are parting with it very
cheap SO as to go elsewhere, there are
wiser men coming from that selfsam,
elsewhere to accommodate these dis
contepted fools.

Final Arrangements for

ALTERATION OF PROGRAMME

A dispatch was received at the Wolf
skill depot yesterday stating that
the Senatorial Committee, travel
ing in a special train would
leave Lathrop for this city about
4 O'Clock, and would arrive here during
the small hours to-day. Mr.. Muir
then sent telegram to Assistant General
Manager w. G. Curtis, who is acting as
the Southern Pacific's escort, informing
him of the arrangements that had been
made, and asking him to present them
to the Senators and see if all was satis-
factory. In reply came the following
telegram:
LATHRoP, 4 :37 Pm.
Answering your telegram, the Sena-
torial Committee desire me to say that
they will with pleasure, accept the
invitation of your Chamber OF Com
merce, to leave Los Angeles at 8 to-
morrow forenoon to 60 to San Pedro and
return, to reach Los Angeles at noon and
take lunch at the Westminster Hotel. If
agreeable to all, they will make short
trip around San Pedro Bay by steamer.
The Committee regret to advise that
previous engagements prevent their
acceptance of the invitation to dinner
tomorrow evening, and they will confer
with the gentlemen after arrival at Los
Angeles regarding the proposed after.

1t is thought that the reason the invi.
tation to the banquet was declined is
because arrangements had been prev
iously made to take dinner with Mrs.
Senator Jones at her new Santa Monica
residence. 1t is expected that the Wis
itors will remain here over night, for q

THE WHAM ROBBERY.
What Is Being Done to Capture the
HighwaYmen.


Highwaymen.
The officers at the Army Headquarters
here are confident that within very
few days the desperadoes who robbed
Paymaster Wham of $29, 900 on Saturday
will soon be captured. Cavalry and in
fantry have been sent out, 80 that the
Mexican line is guarded for a length of
125 miles, this being done 80
that the thieves cannot cross
into Mexico, where the task of
their capture would become ten times
more difficult. Twenty Indian scouts are
trailing the fugitives and all the troops
on the ground are kept ready to advance
at moments notice to any given spot.
Colonel Volkmar of the headquarters
here is directing the movements of
constant telegraphic communication
Clay, of this city, has been over the
ground where the encounter took place,
and says that it is just the place for an
ambuscade. At the place where the
attack was made, huge rock rises to q
height of about fifty feet above the trail,
and on the other side there is q
rdVluo. 1uo buTldCo VI tuo SrouuO
is covered with brush and cactus
and it would be possible to secrete 500
men about the place without trace of
them being seen. The Indian trailers
that are working on the case are in the
regular Government employ and are kept
at the central stations. They run down
the fugitives, but although they carry
rifles they will not make any attack, nor
aid in the assault unless such a thing is
rendered imperative for their own
defense.
