SAILING IN THE OOZE.
A Ship Cruising i'm the Tide Flats at
the PotrerO.

The queer sight of full rugged vessel
sailing without sails. before the wind, over
land, is one OF the Christmas joys of the
Potrero. This is fact, and not the fancy
oil 0lsordered egg-noggy brain or the va
poring Of a stomach made i'll by the
Butehertown zephyr.
There is sure enough ship nosng ahead
over the mud fats of Fourth and Kentucky
streets.
1t Is the wooden American ship Harry
Morse, 100 tons register, that went ashore
last Friday during the first part of the gale
She was sent nose first on the flats and
the continuation of the storm precluded her
being taken of to deep water again.
The tugboats had all they could do 20 at
tend to the remainder OF the shipping in the
harbor, and as there was no danger of the
Harry Morse being injured in any way in
the soft ooZe. she was allowed to remain
there In comparative safety.
Her stern was abutted against the fury
OF the storm. and even when the tide re-
ceded she kept we'll up on the fats.
The heaviest part o the storm set in
after midnight or In the earlier hours Of
Wild blew HAIRY Morse, hIgn and dry,
felt herself boosted, as it were, in a west
erly direction.
She is in ballast, and as consequence
her weight is comparatively light aud she
is resting in a semi-fush position, her Eeel
deeply imbedded enough 10 keep her from
listing TO star5oard or port
In that position the gallant old vessel was
to great extent, like skate on ice with
very little resistance and power OF propul-
sion in the rear.
Thi. was hardly noticed until this morn
ing, when the residents about Kentucky
street, near the bridge. who had the vessel
almost at their doors on Saturday morning,
found her eighty feet nearer tie bridge than
when she first landed.
She had settled now after moving over
land a few feet an hour. in sort OF mush-
like pool of stagnant water from tie alb
sttoirs, aud stout hawser and powerful
tug will be able to haul her off without very
much of a strain.
There is little telling how far a continual
tion of the recent sOutheaster would have
driven the old vessel or how much damage
might have occurred. At the rate she was
going she would have carried away the

Shot Through the Pocket.

at 10 O'clock yesterday morning George
Mahan shot John Leonard In front of
Jack" MayDard's saloon at 231 Pacific
street. Mnynard's saloon is known as a
tough joint in the parlance Of the police.
The row started IN the saloon and was
uished on the sidewalk. 1t started about
nothing and ended in the wounding of John
Leonard of 1854 Broadway. whom Mahan
shot in the left leg.
1t seems that Mahan went into Maynard
saloon, and, after drinking for about an
hour, got into quarrel. An assault was
made upon MahaD, he saws, with intent to
rob him. The other witnesses say that the
men were trying to take him home. Out on
the sidewalk, after Mahan had been thrown
into the street, he fired shot from re.

actual campaigning it is very difficult to
keep the men and officers perpetually

Fell From Exhaustion.

The storm having ceased it Is hardly ex-
pected that many casualties would occur !;
but there was queer one yesterday morn
ing, nevertheless. near the park.
At the corner of Baker and Hayes streets
Is an immense fence that has withstood the
two recent successive storms, and in the
calm hours of yesterday morning II decided
to take a tumble, when, 10 an ordinary
observer, there was absolutely no reason for
the fall.
Thirty feet of the fence on the Baker
street side quietly leaned outward ana

of an uncultivated lot belonging to Golden

CHINESE NOT WANTED.

Carter H. Harrison, owner of the
Chicago Times, and four terms
Mayor Of Chicago, is at the Palace
Hotel. He is visiting California fol-
rest and health. Dir. Harrison is an
extensive traveller and has published
a book, part Of which is devoted to
the Orient. 1t Is called ga Race

asked what he thought with regard
to the Chinese question. He an
swered:
During my travels through Japan,
China, Singapore, Penang, Siam,
Ceylon and British India, made the
Chinese particular study. am a
great admirer of the race. There are
many points which the observant
traveller cannot help admiring IN the
qualities of the race. But when it
comes to the question of Chinese in
the United States, | have but one
opinion, and that is anti-Chipese to
the core. The European in China
can he among the people, but he can
never be of the people. In the same
manner the Chinaman can be among
us, but never of US. They cannot
and will not assimilate. They are
the white ants of any social structure
OF the races with which they come in
contact. AS a member of Congress,
l voted for the anti Chinese bill. In
plain English, am afraid of them.
AS for the Chinese Government be-
ing offended by an Exclusion Act,
that is nonsense. Any observant
traveller or resident in China knows
that the Government is not only in
different to the Chinese emigrants
but absolutely forbids such emigra-
ton officially. Russia or England
might urge China to use an Exclu-
sion Act as cause of quarrel in the
event OF trouble between the United
States and either of those two coun-
tries, but China of herself cares
absolutely nothing about the matter,
and, if anything, would privately be
in sympathy in her official circles
with such blockade of her emigrauts
in this direction. AS we debar the
criminal classes of Europe from
entering the United States for fear
of the moral injury which would
threaten our Republic, so should we
debsr the Chinese for similar rea-
sons. IS. +. Bulletin.

CHARLIE ROSS FOUND.
Employed AS n Laborcr ON Farm
in Missouri

st. Louis, April 7.-According to
the belief of II. G. Sparks of Ben
ton, suburban town west of this
city, the missing Charley Ross, who
was stolen from his parents in Phila-
delphia on July /, 1874, is found.
If Mr.. Sparks is correct in his belief
Charley Ross, now arrived at mans
estate, is at present living with and
employed by him at Benton. So
strong is the evidence already gath
cred in the case that relative of the
boy Is even now en- route from Phila-
delphia to Benton, Mo, to meet the
young man. The relative is expect
ed to reach here tomorrow.
Mr.. Sparks says that about four
months ago young man bearing the
appearance of tramp applied to him
for work. After becoming acquaint-
ed with him the young man told him
enough of his history, so far as he
could remember it, to convince Mr..
Sparks that he was Charley Ross.
BY close and careful questioning Mr..
Sparks drew from the young man a
strange story of adventure from the
days of his childhood up to the pre-
sent time. The man had recollec-
ton Of having, years ago, been car
ried away in wagon from a place
which even now he seemed to realize
was his home.
He remembered having been Sec
reted in dark and obscure places and
watched over by two men whom he be-
lieves TO have been criminals of some
sort. He remembered also of fire.
quent hurried changes from place to
place, now to little country village,
now to city, where he lived in a
basement and was never allowed to
go out on the street, and again to
secluded house, apparently miles
away from any other dwelling. This
nature of experience lasted for some
few years. Then suddenly the men
who had seemed to have charge of
him disappeared utterly from his life
and have never reappeared since.
He was apparently left without a
soul in the world, and since that time
had grown up homeless and friend
less, ignorant of his own history or
of whether he had relatives or friends
on earth. He knew that his name
was Charley, as he had been called
by that name by the two men who
had kept him hidden away for years,
and he had never heard any surname
given to him.

The stories of election bets are becoming
quite numerous. One is told of prominent
grocer and saloonist of town. The grocer
called upon the other man Monday evening
and said he would like to bet ON the presi-
Dental election. The saloonist was willing
and gave the grocer his choice The latter
put $50 ON Harrison The saloonist covered
the amount much against his will, as he
thought lIarrison's chances the best. Still
he had given the grocer his choice and he
stuck TO the bargain. just before the returns
came in Tuesday night the saloonist became
nervous. He felt that the money no had bet
on Cleveland with the grocer was dead loss
After turning the matter over in his mind
he gave a friend a sum equal to the amount
he had bet with the grocer and told him to
put it on Harrison. An hour later the re-
turns commenced to flow in and the saloonist
was kicking himself all over town because he
had "hedged"
