WILLIAM CHIN.S FATE.
Young Californian Who Was Drow1

Young Californian Who Was Drowned
In Oregon.
G. Muecke, or Aurora Mills, Oregon,
writes to the Marysville Appeat as fol-
lows:
In August of last year young Califor-
MAN, aged about "A years, came into this
neighborhood. His name, as near as /
could ascertain, was William Chin. He
hired himself out during the hop season
and picking time to 7. w. Nc
Clincy, postoffice at Wilsonville, Clacka-
mas County, Oregon. On the Sd of Sep
tember, this young man and young Nc
Clincy We're crossing the Willamette
River near Wilsonville (near Boone's
Ferry, in small boat; the boat was cap
sized and the young Californian, William
Chin, was drowned. His body was re-
covered next day and given decent
burial at Wilsonville.
Messrs. McClincy, father and son, tell
me that William Chin frequently and
lovingly mentioned his mother as living
in the Sacramento Valley, and they fur
ther tell me, that as far as they recollect,
the name of the city of Marysville was
mentioned by William Chin.
May be that the poor mother has never
had any news from her son since he left
her, and naturally must be very anxious
about him. / now, i'll submitting the
above, leave it to you, sir, to make men
uon of these facts in your valuable paper,
and also draw attention of this matter to
the RECoRD-UNIoN in Sacramento, so that
the mother of said unfortunate young
man may be informed of and learn the
fate of her son.

The Republican Legislators Practi-
cally Agree Upon Them.
The Republican members of the Senate
and Assembly held another joint caucus
last night on the Congressional and legis-
lative apportionment bills. The work
was not wholly completed, there being still
some diversity of opinion regarding the
lines of some districts in San Francisco.
which the local delegations are to settle.
The Congressional bill agreed upon is
practically the same as that introduced q
couple Of weeks ago by Senator Voorhies
and published in the RECORD UNION.
A prominent Republican stated last
night, after the caucus, in reply to uues-
ton as to what will be the probable po-
litical complexion of the several districts.
under this bill, that there would be three
districts regarded as solidly Republican.
three in which the Democrats would
have "a fighting chance to win, and one
(the Fifth, in San Francisco,) solidly
Democratic.
The legislative apportionment makes
no change in Sacramento's districts. but
reduces the number of San Francisco AS
semblymen, it is said, by two or three.
Several of the delegation from that city
are far from satisfied with the bill, and
some changes will perhaps yet be made
before It's passage can be assured.

THE SUNDAY LAW.
Further Discussion of the Pending
Legislation.

Il uICucT DISCUSSION or The Tending
Legislation.
EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: Rev. J.. B. Sill
cox (Congregationalist), of Sacramento, is
one OF the more prominent and ardent of
the Sunday law advocates. In his
speeches he invariably quotes the maxim,
Whatever is morally wrong cannot be
politically right" This was the leading
thought of his address before the Com
mittees on Public Morals of the two
Houses of the Legislature This seems to
be his creed on the Sunday law subject.
AS he ardentiy supports the pending bill,
we may conclude that it expresses his
idea of the exemplification of the above
MAXIM.
The logical conclusion, therefore, is that
1t is morally right ON Sunday to keep in
operation hotels, boarding houses, res
tatlrants, markets, bake shops, barber
shops, lighthouses, retail drug stores,
llyery stables, and such manufacturing
establishments as are necessarily and
usually operated continuously. All these
are excepted from the provisions of the
bill. Now, ask, can the civil law make
any act moral or immoral? If the pro-
posed law is only to enforce civil Sab
BATH" as its friends claim, how can any
act be made more immoral upon one civil
uty tudIl upon aHOInor!
furthermore, can anyone tell how or
why 1t is moral to keep open livery
stable and immoral to work in black
smith shop? Why is it moral to conduct
bake shop or restaurant, and immoral
to sell groceries or dry goods? Why is it
moral to run barber shop or house
and immoral to do laundry work? How
can 1t be moral to operate manufactur-
ing establishment because it is usually
N
moral for poor man to labor in small
shop at manufacturing the same kind of
article?
Such are few of the incongruities aris-
ing from the proposition to impose civil
Sabbath law for moral reasons. They
demonstrate that such an enactment
would be most glaring type of class
legislation, doctrine which the people of
California have long ago most emphati-
caily rejected; and our legislators have
for years recognized the fact. These Gu
rious Inconsistencies show that the
American Sabbath Union has more in
view than mere rest day for overworked
laborers. If that were the real aim, why
Is the greater portion of continuously
worked employees excepted from its pro-
visions?
But another point which Mr.. Silcox
always holds up before his auditors, and
which he presented before the committees
at the hearing, is the highly moral condi-
ton and wonderful prosperity of the city
of Toronto, Canada, where there is a very
stringent Sunday law But late issue
OF the Toronto World, which is in better
position to give the facts, says that To-
ronto has higher percentage of criminal
convictions than any one of five other
Canadian cities brought into comparison,
and which have no Sunday laws.

Changes of Climate

Kill more people than is generally
known. Particularly is this the case in in
stances where the constitution is delicate.
and among our immigrant population
seeking new homes in those portions of
the West, and where malarial and
typhoid feyers prevail at certain seasons
OF the year. The best preparative for a
change of climate, or of diet and water
which that change necessitates, is Hos
letters Stomach Bitters, which not only
fortities the system against malaria, a
variable temperature, damp and the de-
bilitating effects of tropical heat, but is
also the leading remedy for constipation,
dyspepsia. liver complaint, bodily
troubles specially apt to attack emigrants
and visitors to regions near the equator,
mariners and tourists. Whether used as
safeguard by sea voyagers, travellers by
land, miners or agriculturalists in newly

tend to a garden, yet there is more profit
to be derived from the garden, even when
used for supplying the family, than from
larger areas of land planted to staple
crop. Vegetables and small fruits should
have place on every farm, as they can
be had of better quality when grown at
home than when purchased elsewhere.
1t is useless to attempt to engage in
market gardening unless the vegetables
grown are Of the choicest and best quail
lty. The prices obtained depend on the
appearance of the articles. A single
bunch OF asparagus or celery, that has
been properly grown and neatly put up,
is worth three punches of inferior kinds.
The liberal use of manure in market gar
dening is the most essential matter, and
next comes cultivation of the crops,
which must be thorough. There is no
such thing as too much work on marke
garden. The receipts more than balance
the extra labor.
