In the little home wherein to-day
Her children keep Thanksgiving.
There are tiny hands that pull her gown,
Aud small heads bright and golden;
The childish laugh, and the childish frown,
And the dimpled fingers folden
That bring again to the mother breast
The spell of the sunny weather,
When she hushed her brood in the crowded

And all were glad together.

CAUGHT A TARTAR.
A Big Man Who Dragged to His Own
sorrow,

A Big Man Who Dragged to His Own
Sorrow.
There was a lively set-to on Seventh
street, near j, yesterday, shortly after
noon.
Two young men who are employed in a
factory in that neighborhood, had an al
tercation during the lunch hour over a
$40 wager. The larger of the two was the
one who lost the wager, but refused to
pay, and Dragged" that the other could
not collect the money. The smaller young
man was not disposed at first to insist
upon the payment of his claim, but when
the larger young man essayed to jeer at
him, and call him a coward, he became
fighting mad and pounced upon his burly
tormentor.
Acquaintance of both parties expected
to see the little fellow literally annihi-
lated as the result of his rash act, but to
their surprise he proved wonderfully pro-
flcient with his fists, and a verdict was
soon rendered TO the effect that the big
man was not in it," Two beautiful
shanties of the Eastlake pattern We're
erected over each of the big mans eyes,
his lips were swollen, his nose distorted,
he was bleeding at various places, and al
together he was rather badly used up.
The little fellow acquitted himself with
out a scratch, and his fellow-workmen
promptly elected him champion of the
factory.

SURVIVAL OF TIE FIIHTEST.
The System Should Apply to Teachers
as Well as Clerks.
So Thinks Citizen Frank Miller, and
He Gives His Reasons Com
cisely and Clearly.

a SUNDAY UNION reporter having re-
quested Frank Miller to express his views
on the subject of single or divided day
sessions in the High School, that gentle
man said:
''The effort of the teachers and scholars
OF the High School to secure the
luxury of single session and a
long afternoon out of school should
not succeed. 1t must be remem-
bered that no work nor study is done in
summer evenings. After shutdown every
one is out OF doors; therefore the more
necessity for occupation during the whole
day. The winter time is more suited for
single session than the summer.
An important fact is yet TO DE eonsid-
cred. Our teachers and schools are not
up to standard. Under the easy-goinp
discipline which is maintained oueg' the
teachers the results are less than we should
receive for our money.
1T is well known that our teachers are
selected chiefly from ladies who have been
residing here, and that many of them
were educated in our schools. 1t is seldom
that one OF them is dropped and her place
given to better teacher who has been
obtained for the same price from abroad.
Ii the lncumbents do fairly well they
hold their places until they get married.
1t is well known that the large stores
in this city employ many ladies, who are
of the same description as the teachers
named, and quite equal to them in
every respect. Now, let us see under
what discipline these clerks serve.
Zach store keeps system of marking
the ability of every clerk, showing who
is at the bottom, and for what reason.
New clerks are continually taken on, and
those at the bottom steadily dropped.
This rigid process of selection secures
a splendid corps of workers. Honestly, L
think these clerks stand higher as a body
than our teachers.
The same substitution of best for me-
dunn must be inaugurated by our Board
OF Education, and new teachers, if neces-
sary,, brought here from other places to
supplant the least capable. Probably six
teachers should be retired annually in
this way, and perhaps more
The best teachers work as hard as the
best clerks, but the average teacher does
not work as hard as the average clerk.
Finally, the parents are to blame.
They think they are paying nothing for
the tuition of their children, and they feel
as if they had no care nor government
over the subject. 1t is high time that the
Board of Education had the substantial
backing and support of the parents. Some
reforms should be had, and few must
not stand the labor and odium which is
usual -

EXTRA DEPUTIES.
A Suit to Stop the Payment of Their
Salaries.
1t is Set Forth that the Supervisors
Acted Wrongly-Deputy Doody
Picked Out.

&. A. Burr, who, it is said, represents q
body of local reformers, has commenced
an action in the Superior Court to oust
James f. Doody, Chief Deputy in County
Clerk Rhoads' office from his position.
County Treasurer Lyon and Auditor
Johnson are also made defendants to the
suit.
The complaint sets forth in substance
that the Board of Supervisors, acting
upon the application of the County Clerk,
allowed that official an extra deputy (Mr.
Doody) at a salary of 800 per month. The
complaint then goes on as follows: "Thus
far, during the year 1891, the defendant,
johnson, as Auditor, has, on the first
Monday of each month, drawn and de-
livered to said County Clerk warrant on
the County Treasurer for $500 for each
month. the
FULL AMOUNT OF THE SALARY
Allowed by law for the performance of
the duties of said office of County Clerk.
and the defendant Lyon, as Treasurer,
has paid said warrants each month out of
the County Treasury of Sacramento
County. That defendant Johnson, as
Auditor, has thus far. also, on the first
Monday of each month, drawn and de-
hlFClCt W IiSiCill6iiib IJOOuN u "dTTdDU IOT
the further sum of 500, alleged to be in
payment for the services of said defend
ant Doody as Deputy County Clerk"
Burr continues to allege that by the con-
tnued payment of Doody's salary the
county
TREASURY WILL BE DEPLETED
And taxpayers injured. He therefore
asks that the court forever enjoin Doody
from demanding his salary, and Lyon
and Johnson from paying it. The COM
plaint quotes Section I'll of the county
government law, under which the Super
yisors assume to have acted when they
granted the County Clerk another deputy,
| and expresses the opinion that such pro-
vision is wholly Unconstitutional and
void, and that Doody should be paid by
Rhoads, if at all.
Burr's grounds for declaring this sec
ton of the law invalid are that it is in
direct contradiction to the Constitution Of
the State, which provides that the salary
of no officer shall be raised after he has
been elected to Office. The plaintiff holds
that the payment of a deputy out OF the
general fund is the same as raising the
salary of the officer.
WILL AFFECT OTHERS.
This suit will affect several other dep
utyships, as the Supervisors allowed
various county officers to appoint extra
deputies on the plea that the work was
more than could be handled by the usual
force allowed by law.

rangement of fine ware in one window
and that of cheaper grade in another.
Lack OF room prevents elaboration of dis
play, or even any idea of the magnifi-
cence OF what can be seen on the inside:
but careful consideration is given the ar
ticle in order to secure its prominence.
In one window can be seen French
china; Rochester piano lamp, with onyx
table and silk shade; fancy parlor table,
with genuine onyx top; French bisques
in statues and fower-holders, imported
cut-glass ware, French-china fish set
complete, a variety of Eastern novelties,
cut-glass wine set, and other imported
lines. In the second window can be no.
ticed general display, neatly arranged
of goods both in the crockery and glass
ware line, the market price of which is an
inducement to the trader.
MOORE & M'GRATH.
Nowhere does genius find more vent
than in this model window. The dresser,
while exacting attraction, does not de-
viate from what should be the aim of all
exhibitors-an open invitation to inspect
what may be seen in the interior of the
store-and in this particular instance a
broad and explicit inference is conveyed
that those in charge are alert to the de-
sired colors and styles. Not many ar
ticles are presented, but they are gorgeous
in makeup and blending of colors. The
foundation is of black velvet, with gold
draping-the latter color predominating
a new innovation in the form of hats
made of sea-weed is an additional nov

all the latest colors and designs are
sampled. The whole exhibit only creates

not one of magnitude, has become lead
ing center OF fashion.

Without any idea of elaboration, or a
desire to become pretentious in the dis
play, the show window of this store pre-
sents most tasty and inviting appear
ance. The space allotted to this particular
necessity from standpoint of trade), is
meager, but the dresser is evidently anX-
ious to convince the observer that on the
inside a most complete stock awaits in
spection. The window is now decorated
with the latest New York styles of straw
hats, manufactured expressly for Mr..
Nathan; very complete stock of neck
wear, of which ne makes q speciality.
The display of furnishing goods is very
complete. The finest quality of shoes,
gloves, silk overshirts, and innumera-
BILE other articles of value are presented
to the public gaze.

In both windows OF this establishment
may be noted the ambition of the propri-
etor to materially impress upon the pub
lie the remarkably low prices for which
his boots and shoes are sold. While the
limited amount of space will not permit
of u gorgeous exhibition, considerable
taste is displayed in the arrangement.

strictlx CONSTITUTIONAL.

A careful studyo of the Constitution of
the State fails to reveal any provision
prohibiting the municipal authorities
from sprinkling the streets whenever
they become SO dusty as to make life
miserable.
1t is but charitable to suppose that the
City Fathers have been laboring under a
misapprehension on this subject. On
the assurance that they have power to act
in the matter, it is hoped they will wake
up and do something. If they have not
the necessary money in the sprinkling
fund, that is their fault-the people have
never objected to providing it.
