EPIDEMIC OF CRIME.
A Little Girl Mysteriously Butcher ed
Near Somerset, England.

LONDON, January 4th.-The frightful mur-
der and mutilation of the little boy at
Brantford last week, clearly copied from
the Whitechapel fend, was followed to-day
by the news OF the terrible murder of
little girl in a field close to the village road
in Somersetshire, with much the same gen.
eral details.
In the same paper, which gives two col
umns to this crime, is another column,
narrating the hanging of two lads under 20
years of age for murder al Tunbridge
Wells, and giving the fac.s regarding the
inquest on the body of the woman found
mysterious.y murdered at Poplar
The whole subject of murder has become
so familiar during the last couple of weeks,
and has occupied such predominant
place in the public mind, that another
Whitechapel murder now would throw the
community into frenzy of excitement.
The police are watching the whole East
End of London with redoubled vigilance
just now, as heretofore the crimes there
nave almost invariably happened during
the full moon.

Slight Prospect of Compromising the
mining Troubles.

VICTORIA. January 4.-The Wellington
miners held meeting to-day, when they
decided not to return To work till their de-
mands were granted. They ask an in
crease in wages of ten cents per ton; that
permission be granted them TO appoint a
committee 10 hear all complaints of the
men, such committee to place all griey-
ances before the management; that Mr..
Dunsmuir meet them at Wellington before
MONDAY January 7,h, and discuss the
grievances.
Dunsmuir refuses to meet them at We'll
lington. He says he can be seen at his
office in Victoria. He thinks the lockout
will last tor some time.
Some of the quieter class of miners are
leaving for other parts. The remaining
ones will not probably do anything further
until notified TO leave their houses. All
credit in the stores has been stopped.

Spreckels Says There is a Great Future
for the sugar Industry.

PHILADELPHIA, January 4th. - Claus
Spreckels was at the Lafayette Hotel 10
day, and said of his California beet sugar
venture: My beet sugar factory is COM
plete. 1t has a capacity of forty-four tons
a day. This will eventually be increased to
fifty. 1t is really the first successful effort
to make beet sugar in this country on
large scale, and is grand success. There
is no doubt in my mind that this country
can raise not only the material and manu-
facture all the sugar it can consume, but
will in few years be able to export 1,000,-
600 or more tons years"

MULLAN WINS.
The California Agent Adjudged Entitled
to His 20 Per Cent.

to His 25 Per Cent.
WASHINGTON, January 4th.-It will be
remembered that Captain John Mullan was
authorized by the Act of the California
Legislature to represent the State of Cali
fornia to secure the payment OF certain
debts due the State by the Government.
According to the contract he is to get 25 per
cent. of all he receives. When it appeared
that the bill giving to the State of California
5 per cent. of the money received for the
sales of public lands for school purposes
was about to pass, Governor Waterman
wrote to the Secretary of the Treasury that
he did not recognize Captain Mullan as the
States agent, and requested that the de-
partment refuse to receive or hear him in
that capacity. The Secretary of the Treas
ury has decided that Captain Mullan was
duly authorized by the Legislature and
that it is not within the power of Governor
Waterman to revoke the appointment or
annul the contract

ADTERSITY.

Men and women become lndolent

ly dependency is a grievous thing aud
heavy load to bear. To see disaster
and wreck in the present and no light
in the future, but only storms lurid by
by the contrast Of the past prosperity
growing darker as they advance is
enough to wreck and blight the hopes
and ambitions of the most worthy per-
son. When want isimperiously knock
ing at the door with no strength to ex-
pei ir, or courage to endure, this is
dreadful enough, but when a man is
wrecked with his fortunes it IS more
dreadful.
If trouble comes, you need not look
at it as a punishment, only as some
thing to teach you to walk in the right
way. 70 be over-laden with adversity
has nothing in it of disgrace.
Indeed to stand composed in the
storm, amidst its rage and widest
devastation, until it passes by yon and
leaves you undlsmayed. is to 6e true
man. But how many do thisi The
number is easily estimated.
The storms of adversely like those of
the ocean arouse and excite the skill
and fortitude of :he voyager. A
smooth sea never made skillful mari.

greatest usefulness and happiness. If
you SOW, guided by duty, you will reap
happiness. Duty well performed is
the most favorable means to keep mis-
fortunes and distress from our doors.

HALUE OF CHARACTER.
By Lem Willis.

By Lena Willis
Would we have our names enrolled
with the great we must have characters
of our own Tn some instances men
may irrespective of their own merits
receive tokens of honor. It is much
easier to acquire money than charac-
ter. Wealth may to a certain degree
command respect, but in an intelligent
community nothing is so valued as
character
1t is but poor passport here to
say that you had ancestors who were
distinguished. In some +, S, ecs it is n
disadvantage because more is expected
of such one.
A person nay have a fine reputa-
ton, but very poor character; while
on the other hand one may have
a bad reputation and IA good character.
Some girls may think they have hard
time at their homes. Frequently the
work assigned them Is not the kind
they prefer. 1t becomes tedious and
tiresome. At last it is found very
difficult to be industrious; but by be-
ing patient and faithful good charoc-
will be the grand reward.
Those who possess chara cter will ere
ate friends, gather enough of earth's
treasures, and open sure way to hap
riness and honor. No one can esti-
mate the real value of a character un-
til it Is once lost. Once lost so easily:
yet more than lifetime may be re-
qnilel to regain 1t.
A good name may be injured but if
you once merit bad name no matter
where you go, it will follow you. If
we are sufficiently watchful over our
own actions, we shall have no time to
find fault with the conduct of others.
The life of Franklin was marked
by propriety as veil as by seIf-respect.
He possessed more moral greatness
than appeared to the lncredulous. The
character of Washington is one which
every young American should emulate.

NO EXCELLENCE w1rnoUr LAnor.
BY. w. A. Thornton.

/ ~ W a. 4DOrnt00.
The education, moral and intellect.
ual, of every individual, must be his
own work. Education is the art of
drawing out or developing the mental
faculties; OF training humanity for the
duties of life.
The ancients We're strong morally,
intellectually and physically. Their
lives have done much to shapen our
characters. and in this way they have
IN part become the architects of our
fortunes. How else could it have hap
pened that people, who have had the
same opportunities, should be constant
ly presenting us with such different re-
suits and rushing to various directions2
Difference of talent will not solve the
problem, because that difference is often
in favor of the unfortunate one. You
can see coming from the same school
sometimes from the same famiIy,-two
young men, one Of whom is admitted
to be genius of high order, the other
scarcely above mediocrity. You may
see the son of genius sinking and per-
lshing in poverty and wretchedness;
while the other win be plodding his
slow but sure way up the hill of pros.
perity, gaining at every step, and
reaching at last to eminence and dis.
tlnction, an ornament to his family and
school, and blessing to society.
Whose work is this but his ownq
The best school can only afford op-
iportunities for instruction. There
fore you must depend upon yourself as
to whether you will he instructed or
not, or to what point you will press
this opportunity, for there is no excel.
lence without labor. You may find
yourself toiIing over the most intricate
problem of mathematics until you are
Z
almost exhausted, but, "if at first you
don't succeed, try, try, again, time
will bring you your reward, try, try,
again, for there is no excellence with
out labor
Genius exerted unwisely Is ike the
poor moth that futters around a car
die till it scorches itself to death. Cen
lus should be like the Condor pitching
from the summit of the Andes. SOARING
above the clouds, and at last sustain
ing itself at pleasure, in that empyreal
region, with an energy, invigorated
rather than weakened by the effort,
1t is this capacity for high and long
continued exertion-this vigorous pow
er of searching investigation and these
long and deep reaches for truth that
raise us to the highest point of emf
nence. This is the power from which
will eminate the achievements which
are to enroll our names with those of
the great and good.
