Col. FoRsYTHE, OF Fresno, whose fate
is now swinging in the scales as head of
the horticultural bureau of the world s
fair, is not disposed to sit down tamely
under the aspersions of Mr.. Hatch, who
made the extraordinary statement that
the colonel had formerly kept an assig-
nation house at the Geysers. This was
indeed curious charge. The Fresno
raisin man replies that his hotel at the
Geysers was patronized by the best
people of the state and he brands his
impugner as "a contemplate scoundrel
and liar" The impulse which leads
Californians to back-bite and slander
each other is one hard to
understand. The most ordinary in
stinct of common sense would
have suggested that we should
have picked out our man for the bureau
of horticulture and stood by him to the
death. The fight which was originally
made against Maxwell was uuwise in
the extreme, and it has been followed
up by the same dog-in-the-manger tao
tics ever since. Director-General Davis
has at last lost all patience, and he
threatens, if Colonel Forsythe is not con-
firmed, to abolish the horticultural bu
reau altogether and to make it part of
the agricultural department. There is
something very contemplate in the
jealousies and chickering's of Californians.
Personal by-play and detraction are
said, on good authority, to have lost
California a cabinet position in General
Harrison's cabinet.

MINE LOVE.

Half the pleasure and joy in life,
That drive h away sorrow and strife,
Comes from telling our love.
Let mother, sister, children and wife,,
Those loved ones who are our life,
Know they're our treasure troYe.
Fold them close in loving embrace,
Shower fonu kisses on upturned face.
They are our all in all.
Enter your home with loving face,
With words OF love their sorrow etface,.
Affectionate there, whatever befall.
Hearts that are weary and worn,
souls from which tunshine has flown,
Are gladdened by words of love.
'Tis too late when they are gone
And our hearts with agony torn
Cur remissness doth reprove. JNo.

HER HUSBAND CAME NOT.
So Mrs. Fong You Tired of Life and
Suicided.

Mrs. Fong You is the name of China
woman who committed suicide last even
ing. A dose OF opium made the almond
eyed daughter OF the fowery kingdom a
corpse in few hours. Coroner Weldon
was notified, and he visited the quarters
in Chinatown occupied by the dead
woman. The friends OF the deceased
state that about two yeara ago her hus-
band, All Burt, sailed for China, promis-
ing to either return or send for his wife
inside of six months. All Burt must
have fallen victim to the charms Of

terly failed to write. Fong You became
respondent and swallowed the deadly
drug, "alee samee Mclean people" :"
Coroner Weldon will hold the inquest

Comment UNNECESSARY.

TORONTO, June 9.-The Empire con
servative) commenting on tbs death o.
Sir John Macdonald says: Fare
warned is forearmed." Even in the
life time of the leader they made des.
perate onslaught, but were driven back
by his valorous arm, though he gave
his life blood to contest and now lies Q
martyr to his countrys cause. But now
the opportunity they have hoped fot
has come and every force that can be
made for blotting out from the map the
name of Canada and handing US over to
the United States will be marshalled to
the fray with redoubled fury. But
plotters and traitors both domestic
and foreign, who are seeking to bring
about annexation Of this country to the
United States, through spurious
schemes OF unrestricted reciprocity or
continental free trade, have been SO
completely crushed that they will never
dare raise their heads again in Canada

A BLOODY Amy.

FULTON, Mo-, J:ne 9.-Yesterday
evening, while Claude Franklin, l3'
year-old white boy, and Warrie Kibby,
q l3-year-old colOred youth, were en-.
gagged in a game OF marbles, quarrel
arose between them. Young Franklin
drew from his pocket q knife, the blade
of which was about four inches long,
and when the Kirby boy turned to run,
thrust it to the hilt in his back just
under the shoulder blade, the instru-
ment entering the lungs, from the
effects OF which the wounded boy may
die. Franklin bears bad reputation.
Only short time since he attempted
to stab playmate, but was prevented
by older boys.

NEW York, June s.--.-The Evening
Sun says that French syndicate has
been formed TO purchase the entire
stock OF silver In this country. The
syndicate is represented here by
Heidelbach, Ickelheimer' & Co. The
head Of the syndicate Ia Europe is
ThorSch & Co.. OF Vienna It is said,
that the American house holds about
1900, 900 ounces OF the stock repre-
scented by the receipts of the Mercantile
Trust company, which last year were
8, 346. 900 ounces. As the needs OF the
syndicate which propose to purchase
5000, 600 ounces, ape not filed, the
silver will not be withdrawn from the
Mercantile Trust company. If this
were done the shortness in the supply
would become at once apparent and
silver would advance rapidly. The plan
Of the syndicate seems to be about as
fellows: 1t Is thought THAT the stock OF
silver held in View York represents q
large part of the whole floating supply.
Last year England held q large stock
Of silver, but 1t has since been
sent to Japan, India and China.
IhC WHOtc PTVuuCblOL' Vi bHlb
country is used up by the government
in meeting its legal requirements for
coinage and the avts. Heace, II Eu-
rope needs aDy more silver, the syndi-
cate controlling practically a large part
Of the floating supply, will Se in posi-
ton to'dictats the price az which it
will part withit. Moreover as election
time approaches 1t Is thought the west
will renew thssilver agitation and that
another effort will be made in the next
congress- to put through the free coin
age bill. Silver went up to 120 last
year in expectation Of free coinage and
ifithe bill should become a law this
year it will undoubtedly go t0that fig
ure again. The third point that the
syndicate is said to be calculating upon
is that thsrecent and present troubles
in Europe will be to force the gold
standard countries to adopt the birnet-
allio standard.

repeated shocks.
The worst shocks occurred about 2
o'clock in the morning. Shocks were
felt In Venice and Milan. The center
OF the disturbance was at Verona. A
subterranean noise was heard like the
roar OF artillery, which was followed by
three strong shocks. The inhabitants
rushed into the streets In terror. At
Marienigo three persons were killed,
and at Babadia, Calvenia, seventeen
were badly injured by falling houses
and chimneys. At the latter place an
other shock was felt at o'clock in the
morning, and much additional damage
was done. The movements we're undu

shocks. The commission appointed t.
examine the damaged houses report
that at least three-fourths OF the house:
in the cities are IN such condition thai
public safety will demand that they be
torn down. Large bodies Of troops have
been dispatched to these towns to assist

noon about o'cloeit, n shooting ARRAY
occurred between Mr. George ". Du.
PFC, one Of the editors and proprfetors
of the Daily States, and DR.. Oliphant,

slaughter houSa. matter, and the de-
claration that as. the board OF health
had forfeited the confidence and re-
speot of the people Of the state that

caused Ea'. Oliphant to-day, to send to

coward and tradueer, who coul6not re-
0eivie ahe recognition due gentle
man.
Upon receipt of the note Mr.: Dupre
at once went TO the Office OF the board
of health, and confronting DR.. ELEPHANT
with the letter demanded him to step
outside. Immediately the firing eom>
menced, and Dupre states that several
of the,emploYes OF the board af health,
jumped on him and commenced strik-
ing him, thus diyerting his aim, and
one Of them, it is not known whom, cut
Mr.. Dupre. in the face while DR.. Oil
phaat was firing o. him, bit none OF
his bullets took effect. At this point
the 0ombatants were separated, and
Mr.. Dupre who was bleeding prOfusely
was sent to the hospital where his

Referring to the clip case of Gamer
on vs.. Arend', II csnt,y decided by the
commissioner, Messrs. Britton & Gray
write us as follows:
at is not necessary for us to go into
an extended statement as to the many
arguments made by us in this case, OF
the efforts put forth in your beh9li
therein. Suffice it to say that after the
commissioners fist decision adverse to
Cameron, we fled motion for review,
and ON the same two elaborate aud ex-
tensive arguments. A decision was
then prepared which was also adverse
and after repeated arguments. before
the law clerks of the conimiss, oner,
such decision was adhered to. 1t then
became necessary to fight the matter
before the commissioner III person,
which was done; and as result, fa-
vorable decision was secured"
1t will thus be seen that it was only By
the greatest persistence that Messrs.
Britton a. Gray were enabled to secure
to the settlers their rights.
