A Magnificent MnusoIcum.

contract has been signed for tho
| construction Of II magnificent mausolculn
III Laurel Hill Cemetery for the Floods,
and work upon it will commence in a
few days and be prosecuted steadily by a
large force of men for year, when il is
hoped that il will be finished. The
mausoleum is to be finer than tho bcauti-
full one lately completed by james G.
Fair and equal to that of the Crocker
family. 1t will cost ut least $1OO, 900.
1t will be modelled after the Jay Gould
mausoleum, but in beauty of structure
will, it is stated, even. surpass it. Its
form is to be thnt of n pcripteral Ionic
temple, and it will be constructed entirely
of California material, and almost entirely
of granite. The only other material used
will possibly be little marble along tho
margins for the reccptaclcs of the dead.
Even this will be dispensed with, il pos
sible, and artistically worked granite
substituted.
The great tomb will be about thirty
two feet long and twenty feet wide, and
will reach to a height of twenty feet.
There are to be twenty eight columns,
each being perfect polished piece with
out joint and unmarried in any way.
The celia will be ten feet eight inches in
height with angle of volutc caps on all
sides.
When completed, the mausoleum will
in the interior have the effect of great
mirror, as its granite sides, and even tho
floor, which will be of granite, will be
rs smooth rs glass. The dome in its in
terror will be of panccd and curiously
carved granite.
The mausocum rs at first constructed,
will have rcccptacles for six persons, or
foras many as constitute the Flood family.
When the monument is completed the re.
mains OF MIR. Flood will be transferred
from the OBricn vault to their permanent
resting placc.-iSan francisco Chronicle.

A MoteI Clerk Outwlttcd

" 'Thc best lawyer story know Of, "
''said prominent clubmnn to San
Francisco Examiner man latcly, "is this !:
A Napa County man arrived in town not
long ngo and went to hotel, tho name
of which shall be undivulgcd In tho
evening he handed tho clerk fifty dollar
bill for safc-kecping, saying, Tm going
out tonight, and don't want to carry
much money around with me- There
huppened to be only one clerk in tho
office MS hc took the blll put it in an
envelope and apparently stuck it in the
safe.
"Two days later tho visitor sauntcrcd
into the hotel office, looking rathor
shcepish and detected. Waiting until ho
saw the clerk alone, he sided UP and
said Il will trouble you for that $50,
please.
"'What $500 asked the official, coolly.l
"The guest recalled the incident Of
his handing over the money for safe,
keeping, but in spite Of his insstcnce the
clerk denied oil knowledge of tho matter!
whereupon the man from Napa County.
consulted lawyer.
Procure another fifty dollar bill, said
the lawyer. take friend with you
and go to the clerk again. Say YOU
found you were mistaken, and that you
discovered the bill in your pocket. Ask
him in your friends presence if he will
keep it in the safe until you need it,
Then come back to me for Instructions,
"The visitor did as he was bid, and
returned to his legal adviser the next day.
Now go back to the hotel alone, and
when you find your clerk disengaged ask
him for your money
"lrhis the visitor did, and tho money
was forthcoming.
Z" Nov, said the man of law when the
client appeared for further orders, take
the friend who was n witness to YOUR
handing over the second fifty dollar bill,j
go with him to the clerk and ask for your
bank note again.
"Thc rusc was entirely successful. The
clerk, finding that his victim had wit
ness TO the transfer OF his money, and that
a denial would be useless, stepped behind
the desk, dug the original dollar bill
from his pocket, thrust it into an en-
velope, stepped to the safe, and, pretend
ing to take it out, handed back his
booty

SUCCESS

'As no gaze up. .life's slope, as we gaze
In the morn, ere the dewdrops are dry,
What splendor hangs over those ways,
What glory CLEANS there in the sky
What pleasures seem waiting us high
On the peak of that beauteous slope,
Whnt rainbow hued colors of hope,
As we gaze!
AS we climb up the hill, as we CLIMB,
Our hearts, our illusions, are rent;
For Fate, Nwho is spouse of old Time,
Is Jealous of youth and content.
With brows that are brooding anu bci
Y. She shadows our sunlight of gold,
And the way grows lonely and cold
AS we climb.
AS we toll cn through trouble and pain,
There are hands that will shelter and feed !:
But once let us dare to attain,
They will bruise our bare hearts till we
bleed,
'Tis the worst of all crimes to succeed
Know this rs ye feast on crust,
Know this. in the darkness and dust,
Ye who climb.
AS we stand on the heights OF success,
Lo! success seems as hard rs defeat
Through the lives we may succor aud bless
Alone may its bitter turn sweet
And the world, lying there at our feet,
With its caviling praise and its sneer
We must pity, condone and not hear
Where we stand.
AS we live on those heights, we must live
with the courage and pride of god;
For the world, it has nothing to give
But the scourge OF the lash and the rod.
Our thoughts must be noble and broad
Our purpose must challenge mems gaze,
While we seek not their blame nor their
praise
AS We live.

In the Streets OF TripoIi.

In the varicgatcd crowd filling the

guished. Arabs of the town, drapcd in
their blankets like Romans in their toeas.
and, in fact, tho ''jaram" is the direct
descendants of the toga and, Judging from
its looks, seems to have retained all the
dirt of those intervening centuries; Others,
whose costume consists simply of flow
ing robe, generally white, Or of Il pre-
else, which was once white! Sometimes
this robe is of silk of vivid hue, and the
effect of that gay note in bit of street is
like poppy in wheat-iield. Bcdouins,
whose limbs, wiry and strongly muscled,
shine superb bronze color through
their scanty coverings, elbow Jews in
ridiculous costumes, half native and half
European. In n few moments one has
met with an infinite variety of negroes,
from the pure type hmost without nose
and with enormous jawboncs and huge
lips to those whose lincaments are abso-
lutely Caucasian. Portcrs, in simple
tunics corded about. the waist, carry
heavy swinging bales on long poles rest
ing on their shoulders, cheering their
progress the while with an invocation to
Allah and his innnmcrable prophets,
chanted by an old man and repeated by
the chorus; a true song of savages burst
ing forth like fanfare of trumpets.
Yelled women, voluminously wrapped,
pass by like ambling bundles of clothes.
Officers by scores, those of the new school
stiff but neat, trying to resemble their
German confreres, since the fashion in
Turkish circles is to initiate the lions of
the day; the older officers kindly look
ing enough. but in what miserable cos.
tunes. Moorish dandies stroll and pose
languidly about, seeming absorbed in pre-
serving their immaculate patcnt-lcather
slippers from any impcrtncnt Aeck of
dirt. Crafty featured Greeks and Levan-
tines tread their insinuating way among
the motley groups. At each step it is a
new tableau, and the desire scizes you to
top while the eyes follows curious type,
and turning from it with regret you see
ten as interesting. g.--.ScriJner.
