AT THE RINK.
The San Francisco Champion Gets
Away With Two Local Men.

The San Francisco Champion Gets
Away With Two Local Men.
There was an exciting two-mile race at
the skating rink last evening.
Charles Andrews, the San Francisco
champion, agreed to race William Wal
lace and William Louser over the course
each one of them a mile. Wallace was
Andrews first opponent, and made a
gallant effort to keep with the swift San
Franciscan. Andrews, however, took
the lead at the start and held it all
through the mile. Louser, fresh and
strong, then took Wallace's place, and
sailed around the rink in Andrews
wake. Andrews, tired and perspiring.
had 10 redouble his efforts TO keep off the
new foe. The second mile was quite ex-
citing. Louser gained rapidly at first,
but became oyer-anxiOus, and Andrews
drew away from him. Andrews won the
race, by over half lap, in seven minutes
and twenty seconds.
There will be more racing Saturday
evening at the rink. Manager Sullivan
also announces that he has secured some
specialists, who will exhibit at the rink
shortly. Among them are Dave Canary,
the bicyclist who astonished the Sacra-
mentans last year, and the celebrated
Herbert trio.

PARKER And LABS.
Dispute Between the Contractors Con-
sidered by the Trustees.
Labs is Ordered to Supply Parker With
Gravel Immediately-Cau of
the Delay.

Contractor r. w. Parker appeared be-
fore the Board of City Trustees last even
ing, at special meeting of that body, and
stated that he was unable to procure
Folsom gravel for improving D street
from Eleventh to Thirteenth. The con-
tract called for it and the property-owner
expected it, but he was unable to get the
gravel from Mr.. Labs, the agent of the
Folsom pit.
c. III. 0atman appeared as attorney for
Mr.. Labs, and stated that the reason
why his client refused to give Mr.. Parker
gravel was because the latter owed him
SI25.
Mr.. Parker said it was true that there
was slight difference between himself
and Mr.. Labs in some money matters,
but he claimed that he was willing to / ay
what lie thought was right.
Mr.. Conklin said he thought the board
was not sitting for the purpose of collect
ing or adjusting debts. He wanted the
people of ID street to have what they
asked for, and he did not think it
right that Labs should refuse to sell the
gravel when he had promised to do so.
Mr.. Parke was not 10 anne.

Mr. Parker stated to the board that he
was willing to pay Labs $50, which he
claimed WAS all tnat was due.
III. G. Ewing said he was an interested
party as a partner of Labs and he be-
lieved Parker had made very fair offer
to Labs.

agreed with Mr.. Conklin that the gr;,vel

Ing vacancies IN the Democratic List
Not Filled in Time.
Through some inadvertence, the Demo-
cratic City Central Committee failed to
file with the City Clerk within the time
specified by law its nominations to fill
vacancies on the ticket nominated by the
recent Democratic City Convention. Con-
sequently, the ticket filed soon after the
convention adjourned represents, SO far
as the City Clerk is officially informed,
the nominees of the party. 1t contains
the names of three gentlemen who have
declined to be candidates, but, if they
still persist in declining, they can, &C
cording to law, send in their resigna-
tions 10 Mr.. Young before next Saturday
night, and thus prevent their names from
being advertised as candidates and
printed on the ballots.
The Democratic Committee sent its list
to fiji vacancies to the Clerk Yesterday
afternoon, but that official held that the
twenty-day limit had expired, and he
could not consider the paper properly
filed. However, the names to fiji vacan-
cles are the same as those sent in by the
republicans, and the Democrats can vote

He Liked Sausage.

A correspondent sends from Michi
gan true story Of farmers dog who
had been guilty Of obtaining goods
under false pretenses.
He is extremely fond OF sausages,
and has been taught by his owner to
go after them for himself carrying Q
written order in his mouth.
Day after day he appeared at the
butcher shop, bringing his MASTER.
order, and by and by the butcher be-
came careless about reading the docu-
ment. Finally, when settlement day
came. the farmer complained that he
was charged with more sausage than
he had ordered.
The butcher was surprised, and the
next time Lion came in with a slip OF
paper between his teeth, he took the
trouble to look at it. The paper was
blank, and further investigation
showed that whenever the dog felt
craving for sausage he looked round
for piece OF paper, and trotted off TO
the butchers.
The farmer Is something out OF
pocket, but squares the account by
boasting OF his dogs intelligence.

The young woman OF to-day VINE
is sweeping Broadway with the tail OF
her frock, says New York CORE
spondent, would do well TO remember
the story that was told in the middle
ages abcuta proud Japs Who Haunted
along with ner tall behind her as vain
as a peacock, and yet presenting a
most horrible appearance. For on
this tail sat collection OF little
devils, all fighting as hard as they
could and making her burden very
hard 10 bear. At last, how
ever, she became conscious of
her folly, and. reaching a sloppy
place, she lifted up the train. and all
the devils fell in the mire. Her sense
returned to her. and she cut off the
nonsensical length and gave it TO be
made into flannel petticoats for the
poor! History doesn't relate how
many petticoats were made out OF this
tail, but it is fair to conclude that
there must have been several, else
they would not have been referred TO
in the plural number. II may be
mentioned, quite casually, that the
little devils sitting on the trained
skirts OF to-day are named Dirt and
Rags. She who runs ought to read
the moral Of this story.

Loved the Light.

In parts Of Missouri nothing is COM
moner in out-of-the-way places than q
solitary "coal-shaft." In one OF these
remote mines there was kept, hun.
dred feet below the surface, little
old mule. whose business 1t was to
draw the loaded cars up the incline
plane TO the foot OF the shaft.
Back and forth. back and forth IL
made its dismal journeys during work
ing hours, and at night was left alone
IL corner fitted up as a stable, to
await in the silence and utter darkness
the return OF its human comrades.
For five long years it had never
breathed the upper air, or seen the
light OF day. 1t was great pet with
the miners, who used to bring it
lunches OF fresh grass in summer or
Jumps of sugar and apples in winter.
One night when the mule was being
embarrassed, some one proposed tax
ing jimmy" up in the cage. 1t was
done; her tremors as the cage began
10 ascend were soothed by the assur-
ing words aud caresses OF her COM
panions, and soon she found herself
restored to mules natural privi-
leges.
The next morning when the time
came to go to work jimmy" positive
ly refused to return. Neither per-
suasion nor threats could induce her
10 approach the shaft and step into
the waiting cage.
A council was held. The miners,
touched by what the poor brute had
suffered in her five years OF isolation,
and reproducing themselves that her
imprisonment had been SO long. at
length solved the problem by subscrib-
ing on the spot enough out of their
scanty earnings to buy jimmy" and
she was Immediately loosed and
turned out to grass"
For years afterward she could be
seen nibbling the grass near the shaft
Or sheltering herself behind liberal
haystack that somehow was always
there for her. When working hours
were over she was sure TO be near the
shaft, where she could mutely testify
70 her liberators as they came up, that
,he was thethappiest mule in Missouri.

The EssSiave Pension Blii.

Hon, w. II. Vaughn, who is father
of the bill introduced in Congress fol
the pensioning of the negf6es freed
by the emancipation proclamation,
has received letter from Frederick,
Douglass, the following OF which is q
| copy:
thank you very sincerely for call
ing my attention TO the bill prepared
by you and presented to Congress by
Hon. W. j. Conuell, of Nebraska,
whict provides for the pensioning OF
freedmen. Upon first view was
somewhat amazed and startled by the
apparent impractieability OF the bill,
but the more thought of 1t the more
practicable 1t seemed, and saw thai,
what the nation ought to do, that
the nation can do. The nation. as a
nation, has sinned against the negro.
1t robbed him OF the rewards OF his
labor during more than two hundred
years, and its repentance will not be
genuine and complete till, according
10 the measure OF its ability. it shalr
have made retributlon. II can never
fully atone for the wrong done to the
millions who lived and died under tho
CALLING yoke OF bondage, but 1t can. II
it will, do justice and mercy to the
living.
There never was, and never can be,
a proposition more just and bene6cent
than that contained in your pension
bill. II men do not SO regard it. the
reason is to be found in the fact that
long years OF injustice toward the
negro have blunted and perverted
their moral sensibility and driven the
negro outside the beneficent range OF
human brotherhood.
Under the whole heavens. and in
all the history of the world, no people
were ever more deeply wronged.
Even their freedom was burdened with
a curse. 1t was emancipation coupled
with starvation. They were turned
loose not TO comfort. but TO misery;
not to shelter, but to the storm. Age
and infancy, the infirm and the strong,
were so turned out not to live and
flourish, but to starve and die.
The Egyptian bondsman went out
with the spoils Of his master, and the
Russian serf was provided with farm
ing tools and three acres upon which
to begin life, but the negro had neither
spoils, implements nor lands, and to-
day he is practically a slave on the
very plantations where formerly he
was driven to toll under the lash.
Those who had once the power to whip
him to death now have the power to
starve him to death. This Is largely
due to the restitution to which he
was doomed by the manner OF his lib
Had measure like that you
now propose been adopted at the
start, untold misery might have been
prevented.
Your bill is just, and l thank God
that you have the head and heart TO
press 1t upon the attention OF the ma
ton. Very truly yours,
FREDERICK DOUGLASS.
