"A fool must now and then be right,

Not every one who has the gift oil
speech understands the value of ST.
lence.-Texas Siftings.
Why not reverse the ancient or.
der of things? Let trouble go to pro.
test and borrow happiness once in q
way.
1t takes genius to tell good lie
that will stand the test of investiga-
ton. ANY simpleton can tell the truth.
Galveston News.
If one would be pungent he must
be brief; for it is with words as with
sunbeams, the more they are con.
densed the deeper they burn.-South-
ern.
--Gayety is to good humor as per.
fumes to vegetable fragrance; the one
overpowers weak spirits, the other rec.
reates and revives them. DIR. S. John
son.
Some men are smart because Of
what they say. Others are great deal
smarter because of what they don't
say.-Merchant Traveller.
The power to hate truly what is
evil must be involved in the power to
love truly what is good, and must, in.
deed, usually precede the growth Of
the highest kind of love. Newman.
There is a sweet pleasure in con-
temptation, and when man hath run
through set of vanities on the declen.
sion of his age, he knows not what to do
with himself if he can not think
Blount.
A lame Dublin attorney wanted to
be enrolled III volunteer corps.
''You'd never do" said the officer to
whom he applied for admission; 'the
more We told you to march, the moro
you'd halt'
Duty ought never to wait on feel
ing; but feeling ought always to wait
on duty. A man ought never to pivot
his duty on his feelings; but every
man ought to conform his feelings to
the demands of duty.-S. S. Times.
Many confess that they are proud;
some will even confess that they are
vain; some will sigh frankly over their
passionate tempers; and others will
admit that they are of careless dis
positions. But who tells, who con-
fesses how mean she is, or how sly, or
how envious?-Jean Ingelow.
What maintains one vice would
bring up two children. You may
think that a little tea or a little punch
now and then, diet little more cost
ly, clothes perhaps a little finer and
little entertainment now and then, can
be no matter, but remember many
mickle makes a muckle; and further,
beware of little expenses; small leak
will sink large ship.-Franklin.
Any body can soil the reputation
OF an individual, however pure and
chaste, by uttering a suspicion that his
enemies will believe, and his friends
never hear Of; puff of the idle wind
can shake million seeds from the
thistle and do a world of mischief
which the husban dsman must labor
long to undo. Such are the seeds of
the slanderer, SO easily sown, so diff
cult to gather up, and so pernicious IN
their fruits.
No man can maintain himself in
position of great prominence suddenly
thrust upon him unless by instinct and
education he has been prepared for the
responsibilities of the place. Nor can
man bear the strain of temptation in
such circumstances, and in a position
of trust and confidence, unless his con-
science has been educated and his
sense OF responsibility to others has
become rule of action in his daily
life.-Once Week.

sit en- the fence. Eastern orders proved
hight and from 0 80 TO IL o'clock hardly any
trading was done, for the reason that the
buyers insisted upon 10c decline from yester-
days figures on heavy, and l0c oil on light,

fused. Later, however, the situation be-
came so desperate that they finally acceeded

The recelpts of hogs were the heaviest OF
any day in five months but none too heavy
for the demand. The market was 50ll0c
lower, in sympathy with the decline ut other
points, and fairly active at the decline. The
market here opened with the best light and
light mixed hogs and the prime heavy sell
ing at 81 21l4@I30, with some as high as
A3216. About half of the hogs, and the best
half, sold early in the morning, but the pack
crs wanted tho mixed and heavy hogs at

willing to accept. For awhile the trade was

BENEFICIAL RAINS.
Much Good and Small Damage

Much Good and Small Damage
From the Recent showers.
SAN FRAKCIsCo, Dacsmber 7.-Repcrts
from over fifty points in the State SHOW
that the rainfall for the present storm
has been generally quite heavy, but that
in the majority of cases it will prove
beneficial rather than injurious
to most crops. The postponement
of fall plowing and seeding has proved
q most annoying feature to a majority of
the farmers. The roads in some sections
have been badly washed, and streams
are swollen. Stockmen are we'll pleased
with the prospects. Some snow has
fallen near Nevada, Downieville and q
few other points.
At Ell Verano it is estimated that from
0,000 to $40, 900 has been lost by vine
yardists in Sonoma county whose grapes
were unpacked, the growers of table
grapes and foreign varieties of
wine grapes being the greatest suf-
ferers. Several tons of raisins and
considerable hay WAS spoiled in the
neighborhood of Hanford. AT San Jose
it is stated that while the October rains
spoiled fruits and raisins which were
being dried, to the extent Of SIS, 600, the
later rains hsve done little or no
damage.
San Diego estimates the losses by the
present storm at about $40, 900, of which
about 5000 represents expense In sav-
ing the raisin crop.
TULARE, December mo damage,
but much benefit has been done by the
rain. Farmers say prospects we're never
better for crops.

q Los Angeles typo earns dollar by the
operation, nor is q dollar left in this
city. This is bad business policy
from every point of view. These
sheets have absolutely no cir
culation, no standing, and could
influence nobody. The modus operondi
is simple in the extreme. The operator,
for instance, gets permission to insert
the card OF a dentist, a real estate agent,
q dry goods merchant, or what not. He
then hies him to his metal box and takes
out lump of stereotyped matter labeled
according to sample, probably himself
sets up the name of the firm, and the
job is done. These enterprises are very
likely patronised on the principle that
they are cheap, The truth is that they
are dear at nothing. The business men
Of Los Angeles should learn that in their
own responsible and established press
they have the best and surest guarantee
Of publicity, and it is such advertising
that pays, even though it should seem to
cost little more than the fake staple.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-12-08

Few of our people stop to consider the
am cunt of interest money which ID
yearly sent up to San Francisco from
Los Angeles. A number of gentlemen
who are specially conversant with euch
matters place the cum as high as $36, 600
a month, or $432, 900 per annum. This
shows that the capitalists of San Fran
cisco are not afraid to lend their money
in large sums in this section. The Ger
man Savings and Loan Society of the
Golden Gate alone have upwards of
$3 600, 900 placed on Los Angeles real
estate. The question is whether, with
our ten commercial and five Savings
Banks, it would not have been wiser to
have kept this large amount of interest
money at homer Placed in circulation,
it would have no Insignificant influence
in relieving the stringency Of the money
market.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-12-08

THE Express says that we have been
drawing comparisons between the ras-
calls and defaulters of the two great
parties, and suggests that Silcott figures
in the kilograms. Our energies in that
line have been confined to Los Angeles
county, and we have aimed to enforce a
purely local moral since President Cleve-
land gave US such an excellent set oi
officials. Mr.. Harrison's crop of relations
have not yet had time to prove their
mettle. And this gives US another op.
portunity to emphasize the striking fac,
that neither the city nor the county oi
Los Angeles has ever lost a dollar
through the defalcation of Democratic
official. No wonder the Express thinks
comparisons are odorous."
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-12-08

IT Is astonishing the extent to which
men of good business qualifications In
other lines will allow themselves to be
taken in by taking advertising schemes,
engineered by irresponsible persons from
