AT SCHOOL.

We are all at school in this world of ours,
And our lessons lie plain before us;
But we will not learn, and the Tying hours
And the days and the years pass 'er us.
And then we grumble and mourn and say
That our school is so tiresome and weary,
And we ask for a long bright holiday
That will Danish our lessons dreary.
But what is it God is trying to teach?
Is it patience, or faith. or kindness?
Is the lesson really beyond our reach,
Or made hard through our wilful blindness
If we were in earnest and tried to learn,
If our listless study we mended
Who knows but our holiday we would earn,
And our school days be gladly ended?
Who knows but We make our lessons long,
And hinder their meaning from reaching
The hearts that would be full of joyous sons
If we knew what our God was teaching?
Then let us study His viii while we may;
There's a warning for us. in the rule,
That the scholar who will not learn a.lday
Is the one that is keEt sitter school.

what Is in a Cheese.

A Swiss scholar has been taking n
census of the inhabitants of a cheese.
The microscopic examination OF one
gram of fresh cheese, such as is sold
under the name ofGruyere, contained
no fewer than 10000 so-called mi
crobes. This prodigious sencampment
after seventy days, proved to have
increased to a tribe of 500, 900. An
other sort of cheese contained within
single gram board and lodgln ioI
about 100000 microbes, while in a
gram cut from the rind of the same
he found about 100000 ofthese in
habitants. A piece of cheese upon
our tables. of n few pounds weight
may consequently contain more mi
crobe inhabitants than there arr

A SAD OMISSION

Two women met in Paradise
Where they had recently arrived;
And each one of the other asked
How in the bright abode she thrived.
Then straightway each one made reply,
"Tis very beautiful and bright
There's everything to please the ear.
And everything to feast the sight"
Then each exhaled a long, deep sigh;
And said, I've searched in every nook /;
But nowhere can | find a glass
To see how these new garments look"

IT NOW looks very much as if there
would be two vacancies on the United
States bench on the Pacific coast shortly.
Speculation has long been busy with
the retirement of Judge Sawyer, and
Hon. w. W. Morrow and number of
other distinguished gentlemen have
been named as his successor. Mr.. Nor
rows name, however, has also been as
sociated with the mission to Japan, and
if he preferred that position he could
doubtless have it. From all accounts
Judge Hoffman is likely to soon retire
from his onerous posi- ton, and that will
leave another place for some aspiring
gentleman. The Republicans have GER
tainly had remarkable luck in filling
judicial positions, and in creating them,
when no vacancies existed, in order to
fill them.

them. Some rather amusing histories
could be written about the social life OF
that city, which would'perhaps astonish
people from the staid east or Europe.
But whatever may have happened in
the past, the present haa ton of San
Francisco is severe and censorious to
degree, illustrating the old idea of the
devil turned precisian. The lat
est absurdity in that highly
moral city is the hullabaloo
which it has been sought to raise be-
cause Mrs. Win Crocker gave break
fast to the Bernhard. This seems to
have sent thrill OF horror down the
marrow of the high-cast danes of that
most precise of American cities. 1t is
to be presumed that the breakfast was
most toothsome affair, and that the feast
of reason and flow of soul were accom-
paniments OF faultless cuisine. No
doubt the genius of the divine Sarah
was at its perihelion, and that the corus-
cations of wit rivaled in brilliancy the
sparkle of the wine. That being the
case. everybody ought to be sat-
isfied, Mrs. Crocker because she has
succeeded in getting herself more talked
about than any woman in San Fran
cisco, the Bernhardt, because she has
had delicious repast served by a charm
ing hostess, the Mrs. Grundies because
they have had an opportunity to scold
and find fault, and the general public
because they have had hearty laugh at
the absurdity of it all. 1t is quite ap-
parent that Mrs. Will Crocker knows a
thing or two. about attaining fame at a
bound, and her cool audacity marks her
out for social leader of the first emin-
ence.

THE CHILEAN CIVIL WAR.

The insurgents who are now waglng
war against Balmaceda deserve the SYM
pathies of all liberty-loving people. No
doubt that under the strict neutrality
principle our government is pursuing
the incumbent course in trying to catch
the Itata, but no one who takes a cor
rect view of the question at issue IN
Chile will be sorry if the chase OF the
Charleston is barren of results.
Balmaceda, as president of the Re-
public, undertook to perpetuate his
power by exercising his prerogative in
warping the constitution, and to name
lis successor, who would have really be-
come his factotum or tool. The congress
of Chile resisted this effort oviolate the
fundamental principle and Balmaceda
used his power as chief of the army and
navy to force the congress to yield to
his illegal and revolutionary methods.
The Chileans are brave, intelligent
and spirited people. They rose to arms
and espoused the cause of congress, and
were joined in their determination to
resist the attempt of Balmaceda to
trample on the liberties of their country
by portion of the army and nearly the
entire navy. Santiago, the capital, has
been held in subsection by the despot,
whilst the Notifications of Valparaiso
have been strong enough to keep that
port in his possession.
With the richest portions of Chile
oppressed by his arms, Balmaceda has
had the advantage of almost unlimited
resources to draw upon, and with these
he has been enabled to hold together a
very large organized but mercenary
army. The patriots of the country have
gone over to those who are in insurrec-
tion, and the courage and determination
with which they have kept up the war,
and created formidable land force, and
a powerful fleet to scour the seas, have
encouraged their friends in the hope
that they will vet succeed in deposing
the usurper, and restoring to their coun-
try the constitution and liberties which
he has SO shamefully violated and be-
trayed.
We want to see our country faithful
to its international obligations but we
hope that the Itata will speed to
Ieuique, without interception or mis-
hap, and that the good ship Charleston
will return to us with unshot guns, and
be preserved to a time when she can
signalize her impregnability and the
gallantry of her officers and crew in
some action of which we shall be proud
as liberty-loving people. Who could
throw up his cap and shout hozannah il
the administration should succeed in
seizing the few stores the Itata is carry
ing to the hungry patriots at Iquique
who are fighting for their rights and
their liberties?

Los ANGELES is in some danger of los
ing the reputation which she has late ly
acquired of being law-abiding city.
During the last four days we have had
two sensational murders. That of Miller,
in the back room of the Carleton saloon,
night before last, is mysterious in the
extreme. According to the most care
full investigation, the crime must have
been committed about nine or half past
nine o'clock, in little cardroom adjoin-
ing the billiard-room, which was
crowded during the entire evening and
up to the time of the discovery of the
body. This apartment was being con-
stantly passed and repassed by the pat
rons of the saloon. Miller could even be
heard to snore. And yet there was ap-
parently no intimation of the deadly
incident TO any one on the outside. Two
mysterious disappearances complete the
record of the four days.

A Question of Etiquette.

1t has repeatedly been asked as to why
the empress, after the news of Sedan
was made public, did not present herself
to the guards and the people of Paris, and
call upon them to rally around her and her
son, and to maintain for the latter the
imperial throne. The cause of this sin
gular abstention has been made public.
1t was because no suitable riding habit
could be found for her in which to show
herself on horseback to the troops and
the populace.
There was only one to be found at the
Tuileries in the hurry and confusion OF
that terrible crisis. 1t was one made for
the hunting parties at Compeigne, and
was in the Louis XIV style, composed of
green velvet embroidered with gold, and
necessitating cooked hat for compile
tion of the costume. 1t was too theat-
rical. 1t would not do, and so the gal
liant appeal to the public was given up,
and with it the last hope for the preser-
vation of the empire. Paris Cor. Phila-

cit is not generally known in this
city," says yesterdays Times, ''that a
brother of Dyes was hung for murder
in Sacramento some years ago, for kill
ing old man Tullis, the public admin
istrator." 1t is very true that such a
"fact" is not generally known in this
city, nor in any other city. The reporter
then goes on to dish up mess of stuff
which would do discredit to the merest
tyro in knowledge of current events in
this state; such as that "Troy Dye was
at the head of a gang of hard cases who
took it upon themselves to kill off a
number of old Californians who had dis
pleased them in some way" 1t would
seem, according to our veracious histor-
ian, that this Troy Dye gang had been
in feud with their victims on account of
numerous rows which had occurred Gin
San Francisco way back in the fifties,"
and that the gang had their headquar-
ters on an island in the Sacramento
river. There have been few criminal
causes in this or any other country
that have excited more intense pub
lie interest than the developments
in this, very celebrated trial.
Troy Dye, not Tullis, was the
public administrator of Sacramento
in 1878. He also was the proprietor of
saloon on K street. His mother and
other relatives lived in Yolo county.
They were respectable people and did
their utmost to save their kinsman from
the consequences of his cold-blooded
crimes. Business was slack in the pub
lie administrator office, and Troy Dye
conceived the astonishing idea that if
he could kill some rich old bachelors,
who had no relatives in California to
take charge of the estates, he could Off
cially administer upon them and trans
fer their property to himself. In pur-
suance of this extraordinary conception
of his official powers, he made out a list
of victims, the first of whom was rich
old farmer who ranched on Sherman
Island. He took two others into the
murderous conspiracy, built duck boat
and proceeded to Tullis's place, was
kindly received by the old man, and
murdered him in cold blood. Troy Dye
and Swede named Andersen were
tried, convicted, and executed for the
atrocious crime. Another member of
the gang effected his escape, and has
never been heard of since. The careful
reader of our version of this celebrated
case, will probably be able to detect a
few slight and unimportant inaccuracies
in the historical account of this remark
able criminal event as given by the
Times.
