MORE TERRIBLE rHAY DEATH.


lie was man of courage grim,
a man Of nerve;
No fear had power to check his course,
Or make him swerve.
Once when within burning house
Ten souls We're held,
He saved them all, and then alone
The fire quelled.
Twice had heplungcd within the main,
This hero brave,
His own life riskimg, that he might
Another save.
Thrice on the awful battle field,
With carnage rife,
He'd stormed the terror-Stricken foe,
And won the strife.
But now he's filled with dismal dread
That turns him white;
He sinks away from human gaze,
lie shuns the light.
Alas, he's tortured with fear
He cannot speak
He's got to wear his old straw hat
Another week.
--BoSton Courier.

East Indian Character.

Poor, conquered, degraded, there can
be no people among whom it would be
harder to learn respect for human ma
ture. But yet the memory of the In
dians, as it survives after full consid-
Grafton of all that is bad and sad, has in
it more of hope than of despair. The
Indians stand out in the travellers mind.
not by their poverty or degradation,
but by their affection, their patience,
their dignity, their capacity for admira-
ton.
Their affection has been made notori-
GUS by many tale. The nurses devote
themselves. literally giving life, for the
English nurse child. The servants en-
dure any hardships to follow master
they love. Everywhere we seemed to
see among them signs of a will to be
clinging or atfectionate, and their rec
ords are full of tales of loyalty and of
generous devotion.
II now there are not as many in
stances of such affection as there were
in the earlier days of the English occu.
patton, it must be remembered, as a
missionary said, that India has now
fewer English graves, and that employ
ers on their side more often break the
bonds when they, with light heart, take
their journey home, made shorter by
steam and swift vessels. Their patience
also has been toldof again and again

his regrets for not having had the ex-

plains that time was fleeting, and his

that the engagement that required his

clude the possibility of weeping on the
neck OF his "dear, dear, friend and as :

that he had not even had time to sip q

charming captain, Fred Carroll. He
expressed hope that the Oakland club

DeatlNkf a Railroad Dog.

Chippy. small yellow cur known in

southern California from Santa Bar
bara to San Diego, is dead. He was not
handsome, but he never forgot his
friends, of whom he had thousands He
was great traveller and recently made
trip from Ventura to Los Angeles on
foot and several trips to San Francisco
Every conductor on the Santa Fe and
Southern Pacific passed him and was
glad to see him jump aboard. He would
60 through the train from cab to the
baggage car, and putting his head out
of the door watch the track till his des-
tination was reached, which he always
seemed to know. His associates were
exclusively newspaper and railroad men.
With those of his own species he would
have nothing to do. He died on his way
to Tustin to see conductor he knew.
While looking out of a baggage car he
gave an almost human moan, crawled
on the baggageman's lap and expired,
some thought in fit, but probably
from poison. He was buried in style at
Tustin. and there were several moist
eyes at the little fellows funeral. Phil

MosLEY THE CROOK.
The Missing County Recorder OF SaI
Joaquin County ia a Forger.

Tho Missing County Recorder OF San
Joaquin County is Forger.
STOCKTON, June 5.-Nothing has been
heard yet of County Recorder J. F..
Mosley, who has been missing since last
Wednesday. It now transpires that
Mosley owes 100000, and issued forged
notes on which he secured over $50. 900.
He engaged in large land deals and bor-
rowed money to carry him through. So
far nine notes have been discovered to
be for9eries, six for $675O each,
signed by F. w. Hickey, and three for
$1,000, signed by A. H. Mcbride.
Both men pronounce the signatures
forgeries. Mosley gave three deeds to
one piece of property in Stanislaus
county and asked the holders not to
record them. Only one, D. S. Rosen-
baum, recorded his purchase, and the
others are losers. For several weeks
before his departure, Mosley borrowed
large sums of money, paying big premi-
ums for The accommodation. He left
Woodland a week ago with $4,000.
most of which was to be paid in dis
charging mortgages. Friends who had
every confidence in Mosley lost money,
and one of them has been ruined finan-
cially. 'F

CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.
The Antt-Options Bill Not likely to Pas
the House This Week.

The Options Bill Not LIKELY to Pass
the House This Week.
WASHINGTON, June 5.-With the pub
lie interest concentrated on Minneapolis,
only small share of attention will be
bestowed upon the proceedings of con-
gress this week, and in consequence it
may be safely assumed that the proceed
ings of the house will be marked by
apathy.
In the senate Vest will speak On the
free wool bill tomorrow, and Morgan
answers Sherman's amendment on free
silver coinage Tuesday.
In the house tomorrow motion will
probably be made to suspend the rules
to nom concur in the senate amendments
on the river and harbor appropriation
bill and to order conference. If time
permits, motion will be made to nom
concur in the senate amendments on the
naval appropriation bill and send it into
conference. Hatch will also endeavor to
pass the anti-options bill, under the sus-
pension of the rules, but the chances for
a quorum are 30 small that it is doubt
full if he will succeed. The opponents of
the anti-options hill will endeavor to
block the track with the legislative ap-
preparation bill.
