LIFE IN CALIFORNIA IN 4s.

A State Of Society in Which Women Had
Little or No Part for Time. t
Life in California was at that time a
wild romance No words of mine can
describe the scenes that were enacted
during that chaotic period. Thousands
of men, organized in bands or wholly
disorganized, were constantly arriving
from every part of the world and leav-
ing for the diggings Outlaws and pro-
fessional gamblers opened saloons by
the score at every point where men con-
gregated. Money was scattered every
where as if by the wind. Miners who
had realized fortunes IN few days
came down to Stockton, Sacramento
and San Francisco to squander them in
q night. Scarcely a woman was any
where to be seen. All restraining infiu-
ences of society were absent, and can
not find an expression better suited to
the case than "Pandemonium on a
frolic."
As there were no wives there could be
no homes or families. A few stores had
been hastily put up along the shore,
made of rough boards or canvas, and all
of them were doing an enormous bust
ness. The rest of the village consisted
Of shanties or tents used for restaurants
and saloons. Human life was moving
panorama. The whole place was alive
with mass of unkempt men clad in
flannel shirts and heavy boots, who were
inspired with the one desire to hurry on
to the mines.
This rough life was not without its
touches of sentiment. One day the town
was electrified by the rumor that an in
voice of women's bonnets had arrived
and could be seen at one of the stores.
The excitement was intense, and there
was rush from every direction to get a
realistic view of even SO insignificant a
substitute for female society. do not
overstate the truth in saying that the
thoughts Of home that were awakened
in the breasts of the rude looking men
at the sight of those bonnets started
tears from eyes which the worst forms
of privation and hardship had failed to
moisten.
The Christian missionary was already
on the ground, and good Parson Will
Jams had managed to find place where
he could preach on Sunday. One of the
first men who arrived with his family
came to one of these meetings attended
by his wife and baby. During the ser
mon it CHANGED that thebaby cried, and
the mother was about to Withdraw,
when the preacher addressed her thus:
"My good woman, beg you to re-
main; the innocent sound of that in
fant's voice is more eloquent than any
words I can command. 1t speaks to the
hearts of men whose wives and children
are far away, looking and praying for a
safe return to their own loved ones at
home" Never shall forget the sobs
and tears which those words evoked
throughout that rough assembly. That
infants cry seemed to them the music of
angels.-John G. Fremont in Century.

Love CANNOT fAlL.s

sLcve cannot fail, !" when Joy grows pale,
And Hopes blithe heart forforn;
When Sin makes black the shining track
Below the hills Of morn;
Wheu Faith Is weak, and dare not seek
Tho Souls abiding place; .3sfla
When Doubt doth lift from Times dark drift,
A wan, bewildered face;
When PAINS keen blade deep wounds has
made
From which we vainly shrink;
When Life burns low, with fiickering glow,
Above Deaths sorhber brink;
When EarthAs last light fades into night
~And all is said and done~-
Love cannot fail, and must prevail,
For God and Love are one.

A Recommendation From Tennessee.
1t is more than likely that many of the
readers of the HERALD will agree with II.
B. Wayne, of Whiteville, Tenn, in his
opinion of Chamberlain's Cough Reme-
dy. He says: 81 take pleasure in rec
ommending it to the public as being a
medicine of great worth and merit. The
manufacturers of that remedy certainly
have been great benefactors to suffering
humanity" One of the most valuable
properties of this remedy is in its power
of loosening and relieving cold, and
freeing the system of any bad effects of
the cold. For sale by G. f. Heinzeman,

Man with a Lariat.
A man was found nearly buried in the
sand near San Francisco. Two deputy
coroners could not pull him out. A
horseman was sighted. This is what
happened: He rode up to them, and
when the situation was explained, calm
~ alighted, united long lariat which
was coiled at the back of his saddle. and
without a word began to make one end
OF 1t fast about the upper portion of the
dead mans body. The rope was passed
under the arms and tied in a knot at the
shoulders. Having accomplished this the
stranger paused, and looked I'D at the
astonished morgue officials as much as to
say:
what's the matter with that?"
what are you going to do nextY'
asked the deputy coroner.
Dor Why, I'm going to pull him
out"
"Well, you might as well give up that
idea, returned the deputy. ''It would
take half a dozen men like us to move
that man."
Maybe it would, replied the stran- |
ger, with a chuckle that was certainly
little out of place, considering the oc-
casion; "maybe it would take a dozen
men such as we are, but it will only take
one horse such as this is.
AS he said this he pointed to his steed.

taking a turn around the horn of his
saddle with the free end of the Iasso

drawn tart. Then, in response to a gentle
'luck from his rider, the animal settled
MS feet down into the sand and steadily
bent his strength against the rope. There
vas no jerking. 1t was an even. steady
pull. The line vibrated rapidly under

TERRIBLE DOMESTIC TRAGEDY.
4 Mother Kills Her Three Children and
Then Commits Suicide

NASHVILLE, Tenn, July 21.-The MUIR
der by Mrs. Lochridge of her three children
and her own suicide was a peculiarly hor-
rifle tragedy. The family lived three
miles from Springfield, Maury county.
and Mr.. Lochridge is a well-to-do farmer.
Mrs. Lochridge was something of an in
valid, but when her husband left home
Sunday morning to go to church she was
apparently as well as usual, and there was
no hint of the tragedy that was so soon to
be enacted. The. children-aged 4 months,
and and years respectively-were play
ing around their mother all too ignorant
of what was passing in her mind.
The Terrible Slaughter Accomplished.
As soon as her husband was well out of
sight and hearing, it seems, Mrs. Loeb
ridge took his shotgun, breech-loader
and began her dreadful work 1t is be-
heved that she first chloroformed the lit
tie ones before using the gun. Taking
each child in turn she drew up the clothes
so as TO expose the flesh, and discharged
load of shot into its heart. Then she
placed the little corpses side by side on a
pallet, drew down their clothes neatly
about them, and standing at their feet
fired fourth charge into her own heart
a letter she wrote to her husband shows
plainly that she was demented.
