MOTION.
Written for the Ledger.

Written for the Ledger.
Since all appear to be in the notion
We will say a word about perpetual
motion.
There is no quiet, tits but an empty
sound,
A dream all shadowless the world
around.
To the pig city where Mr.. Jones has
flown,
Such a thing as rest is never known;
There is no quiet in all the realms of
life,
Mans all motion and endless strife.
The words that come from human
tongues,
The breath that parts the lips and
fills the lungs;
Each heart beat and every thrill
Must keep US all in motion still.
When this we know is the Ease
With the whole human race,
Why should feeble man wear his life
away
To solve what we see every day?
There is no rest, nor rest can e'er pre-
vail,
The world is in motion, hill, forest and
vale;
The storm, the darkness and the light
Proclaim a motion that is might.
Then why should man, puny man,
Try this motion to fathom Or span,
When that wonderous old ocean
Has always been in perpetual motion.

They Did Not Expect Too Much.

They Did Not Expect Too Much.
One reason why marriage is so
often a failure is that the average
man. falls In love with a woman
because she has two or three of
the qualities which he attributes
to the ideal woman, and never gets
over blaming her afterwards be-
cause she doesn't have the rest.
Women don't make any such mis-
take. They don't expect to find
in the average man any of the
qualities possessed by their ideal,
and they are very seldom disap-
| pointed.

One Of the Largest Audiences
Ever in the Opera House.

The Mexico Opera House was
crowded last Saturday night Full
ton was represented with a delega-
ton of about fifty, Columbia sent
over about one hundred stu
dents, eighty Fleet Cadets came
down in a body, and Hardin Col
lege was represented by forty
young ladies. Every seat in the
house YVES taken, and the interest
throughout was intense. Col. A..
F. Fleet was presiding officer; Rev.
A. E. Rodgers opened the exercises
with prayer. The Judges were
Col. John E. Hutton, Hon. W. Fl.
KEENAN, and Judge G.. B. Macfar-
lane. The following were the
orators and their subjects
"Some of the Battlefields of
Human Progress" M. M. Bogle ;
"a messenger of Peace" T. B.
Dorman; "The Message of the
New World to the DID," F. P.
Divilbiss !" "The Rise and Fall of
Mormonism,"P P. N. Crews 1.-THE
Irrepressible Conflict" T. B. La
Motto "Tne Sovereignty of the
Masses W. R. LittelI.
The young men all did we'll and
each Grafton had some especial
point of excellence. The commit
tee awarded the fret prize to f. P.
Diviloiss, the second to T. B.
Dorman. The decision met with
the hearty approval of the entire
audience. Dlvilbiss is a born orator.
His delivery was ornate, scholarly
and impressive. He held the au-
dience from start to finish, which
is more than the others attempted to
do, and we think he stands a good
chance of carrying off the honors
in the Interstate contest at Soda
liza April 10Th. Dorman is a finish
ed orator but not nearly SO inn
pressive as Divilbiss.
The Mexico people enjoyed the
contest and will trust that the
young men of Mexico became in
spired and shortly give us some
thing of this kind.

SENT TO THE PESTHOUSE.

A Young Monaghan Left to Suffer Sew
eral Weeks in Basement.
Some days ago, in his perambulations
through Chinatown. Sergeant Spillane
learned Of a young Chinese named All Moy,
who was lying in the basement of 1O1S
Stockton street in helpless condition.
1t was stated that he had been there for
three weeks and that food had been brought
him by some of his cOuntrymen. He had
met with an accident to his instep, but
through Improper care the wound had NOR
tilted, and he was in 4 terrible condition.
The place is literally a dark hole, without
air or light from any source. The officers
who visited the basement were compelled
to hold their nostrils, and for some hours
afterward INDUCED in all sorts of unpleasant
imaginatiOns. SergeaDt Spillane stated that
he had never gone down To such wretched
dnd foulsome hole in all his Chinatown
experience.
The Health Officer was notified of the
case, and yesterday Inspector Bartlett
visited the basement and had the Chinese
removed to the Pesthouse. 1t is thought that
1t will be necessary TO amputate the leg.
The police officers stated that, notwith-
standing the horrible condition of the Chi
nese and the filthy condition of the place,
white men CROPPED their way in the night
time down into the basement and smoked

PLENTY OF FINE FRUIT,

he

1t Is Arriving in Vast Quantities From
Cup the River"
That plenty Of fine fruit is constantly ar
irving in the city is shown every morning
by the scene presented on Jackson-street
Wharf. There the steamers from the fruit
districts Of the Sacramento and its tribu-
taries land their freight. and there the COM
mission men, Gamers and peddlers 60 to get
their supplies. These vessels discharge
great loads OF luscious peaches, baskets of
purple prunes and boxes of magnificent
pears. Four OF these vessels make tri-
weekly trips between here and about eighty
landings this side Of Sacramento.
Fruit has seldom been more abundant in
the local market than at present. and it is
bringing fair prices. A large portion of the
fruit has already been sold by contracts
made early in the season between produc-
ers and local Gamers. From present fi0.
ures it is evident that 1891 will be the BAN
ner frpit-producing year in the States his
tory.
