TWO QUESTS.
BY ELLA c. DRARBLE.

There are two guests which come Co bless, The one not than the other less
 Tn power and grace. One guest is love, and one is pain: Oh, open to the heavenly twain
 The inmoSt soull Forget then, not where dwelleth love. Close in his steps sweet pain shall move
 With yelled face. lf meekly borne. where grief doth dwell, Love in his hOliest robes as well
 Shall walk beside. And neveTmore feel then surprise If love come wearing sorrows guiSe
 With eyes tear-wet. Who knoweth one knows both they blend As one to serve the same grand end
 To lift the soul. Who knows not love how can he feel The sharpest pang that griei can deal" Who tastes not grief. how can he know The balm love only can beStow?

which does not contain the works ot that incompatible novelist, Charles Dickens. We have secured at a very low price several thousand sets of Dickens, complete works, in fifteen volumes, which we are offering, together with one years subscription to this paper, for only $500. The books alone are worth much more than that sum, and our readers should not be slow to take advantage of the re- markable bargain here offered them. Full particulars, with description of the books, etc., are given elsewhere in this issue.

Ice Caves.
St. Louis Republic.


 No county in the United States, with the exception of Oxford county, Maine, the county in which the Split mountain caves are located, makes any pretentions 10 compete with Schoharie county, New York, in point of num- Der and variety ot it's natural ice caves. Besides the ice caves found within the limit of this cave fertile county, dozens of the regulation kind are known to the tourists of that wild and rocky region. "Ice Hole," the most celebrated of all the ice caves of the Cstskills, is in the near vicinity of Grosvenor's corner, Schoharie county.
 Although discovered more than century ago, thorough exploration of "Ice Hole" has never been attempted. At no time in the year is the tenn perature of this icy grotto above the freezing point, and as the floors and walls are very rough and jagged, but few of the many who have visited it have had sufficient courage to push to a very great depth into its frozen con- fines. Tourists, less timorous than the average, who have been 80 fool hardy as to venture beyond certain prescribed limits, have returned worn out and exhausted to tell marvellous stories of perilous ascents and de- scents; of unfathomable,icy chasms and sleek, polished peaks of pure, virgin ice, many feet in height. The rare beauty of this veritable home of old Boreas can better be imagined than described.
 Marcus Lee, the veteran traveller, who recently penetrated the slippery corridor of "Ice Hole" to & depth hitherto unequaled, gives his opinion of the wonder in a few words; an opinion which is none the less intel igible on account of its brevity. He said: "The awful grandeur and the unspeakable solitude of the interior of Ice Hole will long be remem bered, even when the other myriad incidents of my travels have been effaced from my memory"

Opinions ON the Bill for Suppressin
Pool selling.

Opinions ON the Bill for Suppressing
Pool selling.
The Los Angeles Turf Club are sparing
no pains to make their coming spring
meeting q success. On Tuesday next
their Secretary, Mr.. A. 7. Rodman,
journeys north for the purpose of iu-
ducing the northern owners to enter
their horses for the valuable purses
offered by the club. There is little doubt
but that they will respond in a liberal
manner and the horsemen of Los An
geles will find in the northern stables
foemen worthy of their steel.
Whilst north it would be we'll for the
courteous Secretary OF the Turf Club to
appear before the committee having in
charge the Suppression bill, or as the
Breeder and Sportsman has it, "the bill
to limit poolselliDg and .bookmakiDg :"
Whatever may be the object OF this bill,
the effect it will produce, will be 10 ruin
every Turf Association in California.
There is no man better qualified to pass
All opinion on these matters than Mr.. II.
II Rodman, as he has vast experience on
the subject acquired in every State in the
Union.
The supporters of this bill claim that
pool-selling and book-making on Eastern
events detract from the attention be-
slowed on home contests, and that in
conse equence, the State fairs fail to secure
the support and attendance OF those who
frequent the pool-rooms. If ever
there was fimsy excuse offered
for passing . sumptuary law,
this is one. But the supporters
of this bill and amongst them are certain
journals which claim to be representa-
tive OF the interests of the turf in Cali
fornia, have, in the heat OF their anxiety
to make strong case, exceeded in theil
| arguments what the facts would warrant
The statement for instance that ninety
| five per cent of the whole number o.
breeders OF race horses and fast trotteit
lin California are in favor of limited pool
selling is inc ,rrect.
MIR. E. J. Baldwin, of the Santa Anits
stables, considers it unnecessary, as thu
question Of allowing minors to frequen
pool-rooms can be easily regulated By
the police.
Mr.. L. J. Rose, Jr., isstrongly opposet
to the bill.
| Mr.. Harry Rose believes that the pool
rooms are q stimulus to horse racing, as
through them, lovers of racing can keel
track Of the doings of the California rep
lresentatives on the Eastern circuit.
| DR.. D, K. Wise thinks that the bill
mot only unnecessary but injurious, sine
the attempt made by it to limit specula
ton will tell equally against the owne
who wishes to back his horses, as agains
the outside public.
Mr.. "Knapsack" Mccarthy expresse
himself as strongly opposed to the bill
He is of the opinion that it is but tn
thin end of the wedge to finally suppress
racing. The point that the pool-room
lessen the attendance at the track ca
be easily met by closing them on til
days when there is racing in the vicinit,
the city in which they are.

ABOUT THE CITY.
Attempted Suicide of a
Young Man.
THE STORY OF HIS DOWNFALL
A Tale About Rev. Sam Jones Brought
Down From Sacramento by
q Visitor.

A young man of about thirty years of
age was brought to the Police Station last
evening, suffering either from excessi Q
drink combined with morphine, and per-
haps cocaine, or else under the influence
of the last named article taken for the
purpose OF committing suicide. He was
found by the police in house of doubt
full repute, on Also street, and was
brought to the Station in an unconscious
condition. The mans name was
McCabe and he was formerly clerk at
a Spring-street drug store. 1t is said
that ne once possessed the commodity of
good reputation. but having parted
with that and with all his assets of
a financial sort, through drink,
he became desperate and undertook to
get out of the scrape by what
seemed the shortest method. It is also
said that he was considerably enamored
of one of the residents Of the house
where he attempted suicide and that his
ruin grew out of this hopeless passion.
The city physician, DR.. Choate, was
called and did the man the kindness, or
unkindness, as the case may be, to help
him back to life again. Ats late hour
he was resting quietly and bis recovery
was certain.

How They Were Discovered Unde

How They Were Discovered Under
the Mattress.
On the 22nd instant telegram ap-
peared in the HERALD and in several
other papers throughout the country,
stating that Mrs. Oglesby. Snyder, re-
Gently married daughter of Governor
Oglesby. of Illinois, had lost diamonds
and jewelry at the Del Mar Hotel, where
she and her husband were stopping, to
the value of $4,000. The report stated
that when they (Mr. and Mrs. Snyder)
arrived at the Del Mar Hotel, Mr.. Snyder
took his wife's jewelry and diamonds,
and, putting them in an envelope, hand
ed them to young man whom he sup
posed to be the clerk, requesting that the
valuables be placed in the safe. A day
or two later Mrs. Snyder desired to use
her diamonds, but, upon application at
the Office, was told that they knew moth
ing of the diamonds. The safe was
searched and no trace of the valuables
could be found.
Mr.. ]. B. Mccullough, manager of the
hotel, writes, stating that Mr.. Snyder
may have intended placing the dia-
monds in the hotel office but failed to do
so, and in the evening must have placed
them between the mattresses of his bed
and forgot all about them until wanted,
and then, thinking he had left them in
the Office, called for them and, OF course,
was told they were not there. This led
to a great deal of talk. Mr.. Snyder in
sisting that he had left them there. The
talk finally reached the chamhermaid's
ears. and she remembered seeing an en-.
velope between the mattresses Of his bed
and Immediately told him Of the fact. A
search revealed the missing diamonds,
thus exonerating all the employees OF
the hotel.

essity for the bill, and is of the opinion
that it will seriously injurs trotting and
racing on this coast.
Mr.. P. G. Dornalech, apart from the
moral aspect of gambling at all, thinks
that pool-selling on all races gives .
stimulus to sport.
Mr.. H. L. Samuels is of the opinion
that no man can afford to run race
horses without backing them, and is op-
posed to the bill since it would take
away the opportunity of d, ing so.
In fact, the owners and breeders of
Southern California are unanimous in
their condemnation of the bill, and it
will be sorry day for sport on this
coast should it ever become law.

Fan Tan Players.

A lively gambling raid was made last
night by Officers Dorsey and Wixom
which resulted in the capture of an inn
mense gang of the heathens who were
engaged at the game of fan tan. The
officers pounced unexpectedly upon the
door-keepers and managed to get into
the room where the play was in progress
and prevent any Of the players from es-
Gaping. Their queues were then tied
together and the entire crowd brought
to the station. Two were booked
as cashiers, two as dealers and twenty
seven as players. They we're huddled
together in back room at the station,
and kept under guard until the arrival Of
an interpreter and boss gambler with q
bag full of gold. The necessary deposit
of bail was then made, and they were all
allowed to go fres. For the next two
weeks the case against them will drag
along through the courts at considera BILE
expense to the city, with small proba-
bility OF any convictions, and with q
certainty that the vice has not been sup
pressed, or even impeded.

A Religious M aniac.

An insane man by the name of G. D.
Defort was brought to the County Jail
Saturday night from Baldwin's ranch.
He is about 20 years Of age, q powerful,
good-looking fellow. Religion appears
to have been the cause of his abberra-
ton. He believes that he is Chris. and
that his present existence is being
passed in heaven. The variety Of para
disc provided by the County Jail not sat-
isfying him he made an effort soon after
he was put into his cell to hang himself
with one of his suspenders. It was
found necessary to put the muff on his
hands to keep him from ibjuring himself.
He had been serving as farm hand on
Baldwin's ranch for the past four or Eve
months, and had never shown any SIGNS
of insanity until this idea seized him
that he had been sent as Savior to
mankind. He will be examined by the
Insanity Commission to-day.
