Negro Philosophy.

The train was speeding along when in
the distance a wagon loaded with wood
was sighted. 1t was standing in the road
beside the tracks, and as the train ap-
preached it was seen that four sleepy look
ing mules were attached to it and that a
big negro was asleep on top of it.
"Why, darn me-" said the old northern
farmer who was going south to visit rela-
tives, "he's stuck in the mud"
Fright you are" said the Pullman con-
ductor
Just then the train shot by the wagon
and one of the mules dipped an ear as
sort of courtesy to the passengers.
= "And bust me all up if the driver amt
asleep" exclaimed the old farmer, hurry
to the rear of the car to get another look
at the wagon.
Looks that way" admitted the con-
ductor
"Why, he amt stuck bad," he said after
a last look.
.sNop"
"Naw. Old Nance, my gray mare, could
yank that load of wood into the next
county and not half try"
1T wouldn't take much of yank." q
"And that feller with four mules jest lies
down on his lead and don't try to get out. !"
"Yes; that's the way they do down here" !"
"Well, what in blazes is he waiting for9"
The conductor seemed surprised at the
question.
"For the mud to dry up, of course" he
said "What did you think he was wait
ing for-Gabriel's horn? I've seen half q
dozen of EN- lie two days in that hollow"

Her Name on the Hollenbeck Register
Worries the Reporters.
"Anna Dis de Bar" was the magic
name that appeared on the register Of
the Hollenbeck hotel yesterday. The
reporters soon got on to the fact, and of
course were anxious to interview the
noted adventures. Miss Dis de Bar is
famous as a spiritual fakir. She has
figured in number of sensational epi-
sodes, and the reporters rushed over to
the Hollenbeck in the expectation of
getting graphic story from the lips of
Miss Dis de Bar. le

the night clerk. 1t was the same thing

'Why, Miss - registered that way

though he failed to appreciate the result

LETTER BAG
Against Negro Immigration.

EDITORS HERALD: To our regret we
see in the Examiner that Leland Stan
ford wants to colonize the curse of the
south-the negro-in California. Many
have left the sonth to get away from the
negro element there, and no doubt
many good people would not want to
come among that negro element here.
1t will be removing the curse from their
home upon us, where we do not want it.
If Leland Stanford wants them here for
political purposes, they will answer his
purpose, and be an improvement on
his purpose; but why should he want
them for political purposes, when his
legislature does as he wants them
to do? We do not want the negro here !;
they will fill the towns, as they do in the
south, and run politics in their low
grade saloons and will not work on
farms. CITIZEN.

Ais Well That Ends Well.

The Intelligent compositor" does not
often perpetrate more benefcent blum
der than was committed in Brooklyn the
other day, the outcome of which was the
reconciliation of a husband and wife who
had become seriously estranged. After a
domestic quarrel of a strenuous nature the
man betook himself to a newspaper Office,
where he wrote an advertisement stating
that he would not be responsible for his
wife's debts. Desiring two insertions of
it, he wrote over it, "For two days"
When the "ad." appeared it announced
that for two days only he would not be re-
sponsible as aforesaid. The wife saw it of
course, and was so greatly struck by its
comical aspect that she forthwith sought
her irate husband, and in short time they
peacefully buried the hatchet. All on ac-
count of a printers stupid mistake. Truly
he builded better than he knew, and was
instrumental in causing the wrath of man
to eventuate in domestic harmony.-New

Sapeck gravely walks into grocer's

ard of large educational establishment,
he says:

our institution. What are your best

"The Phoenix, the Etoile, the Bonne

"We keep ten varieties in stock"

"You can keep your candles l think l

virginia Farmers Alliance.

RICHMOND, Va, August 19.-Newspa-

hall while the Far ners' Alliance was in
session today. The chairman of the
press committee gave out information.
A resolution was adopted that the Alli-

judicious to pay taxes in money, and not
in coupons, and earnestly beseecbes the
taxpayers in the larger cities not to sac
rifice the state upon the altar of CONNER

RetributiOn.

His energetic action, in spick -and-span claw
hammer, would have paralyzed buzz
saw in the fraction of week,
And he spent a summer season trying hard to
find the reason for the mortifying music
of the patent leather squeak.
His efforts tying neckties would have taken
him to China, if he'd skipped this daily
torture and had started out to walk,
And the names that he invented for the scents
with which he scented, If a polyglot had
heard them would have turned him
white as chalk.
The geometric creases in his trousers were a
passion which developed in proportion to
the tailors that he had.
And he passed his nights in thinking Of an un-
known way Of prinking, which would
give him proud distinction as the author
of . fad.
And then he met an heiress with taste that
was aesthetic, and with all the calm assur-
ance of the latest thing in clothes,
He sat right down and waited in manner cul-
tivated-but she shook him for farmer
with wart upon his nose.

The news published on another page
that Mr.. Rose has concluded to give up
the breeding of thoroughbreds will be
read with genuine regret. The writer
had .conjured up brilliant achievements
for the youngsters bred at Rosemeade.
The dispersal of this stud will be sad
blow to the thoroughbred interests of
this county and state. Although it has
been intimated that Mr.. Rose intended
to retire, the HERALD this morning con-
tains the first official announcement.
The writer has assisted and fostered the
breeding interests of Southern Califor-
mia. He has watched it grow from next
to nothing until its present dimensions,
and it kind Of goes against the grain to
brood mares and stations must be sold

Monroe Salisbury was the only Califor-
nian to 90 back east with a string. He
has been rewarded for his enterprise, as
the small band under George Harris's
watchful eye has done wonders. Home
stake has been disappointment, to be
sure, but the brilliant victories of Direct,
Little Albert and Vic H. have more
than counterbalanced the failure of the
speedysson OF Gilbralter. yesterday Little
Albert won the richest stake at Spring
field and reduced his record to 2:1714.
At the big breeders meeting at Chicago
Vic III. beat big field, and reduced her
record to 2:1514. This is the second
race Vic III. has won in succession. She
suffered from pinkeye early in the sea-
son, but is now all right. Direct starts
today, at Chicago, in the 2:24 pacing,
and it is dollar to dime that he is
winner, although there are no less than
twenty-five sidewheelers entered for the
event.
Faustino, who won the interstate
stake for foals of 1888, is Californian.
He was record breaker before he was
sold east. He is by Sidney, and yester-
days victory stamps him as a star in
the trotting world. The time i2:18 is a
gilt-edged race record for 3-year-old.
The northern fairs do not appear to
be very successful this year, from a
racing point of view. The reclassifca-
ton scheme is playing havoc with sew
eral of the associations. The Napa
meeting now in progress is the next
thing to fzzle. Several OF the best
classes failed to fill. Oakland will be
) the first good meeting.
