the principle that the end justifies the
means. This whole thing is shocking
in the extreme, and it shows that there
has been lamentable relaxation OF old
fashioned morality that DR.. Parkhurst
should have been able to face his con-
gregation and the world with a recital
of his infamous adventurers. To carry
out his programme he simulated the
character of boozy westerner. The
women engaged received So apiece as
the price of their degradation, and the
whole party, minister included, seemed
to have been boozy with. beer. These
are certainly not the ways Of the Master.

SECRETARY FOSTER has asked for an
appropriation OF $4,000 to furnish and
equip the magnificent public building
which General Vandever's four years of
arduous labors in congress have secured
for Los Angeles. This lavish appropria-
tion is in keeping with the magnifcence
of the building, which is probably the
most ignoble edfice of the kind in the
country. The right thing to do is to fit
this precious little box up as quarters
for the United States courts, United
States marshal, register, collector and
receiver, and to build a suitable post

ADJUSTMENTS.

Charles Frohman's company in Gill
lette's clever comedy, All the Comforts
of Home, played to fine and appreci-
ative audience last evening at the Grand
opera house. The excruciatingly funny
complications of the play and the splen-
did rendition of the characters kept the
hearers in a jolly mood throughout.
The work of Sam Edwards as Theodore
Bender and of Kate Denim Wilson as the
Tartar of a wife, was especially COM
mendable. The play will be on the
same boards this afternoon and evening.

Divide Musin, the noted violinist, will
give two concerts at the Los Angeles
theater, on the 11th and 18th instants.
He will be supported by number Of
talented artists. A writer says OF
Musin: Violinists stand upon royal
ground with their simple instrument,
and there is trio of musical artists,
Joachim, Wilhelmj and Saraeate the
Spaniard, who are glad to form a quar-
tette with Musin as the fourth member.
Let these not be compared, for each has
in him his national and ancestral traits.
Musin has brilliancy, an airiness and
a glitter that are his own. He repre-
sented everything with his marvellous
bowling and delicious lingering as he
caressed the loving front of his living
violin, and out from mass OF music
and sounds grew and rose, distinct and
clear, now swelling and swaying, again
falling like the cadence of summer
breathings and dying away into melo-
dious silence. At times you were over
come by his boldness, brllliancy and
power, and then he embraced you with
his sinking strains till you caught your
breath and sighed.

Probably one of the most pleasant
parties given during the season was the
one in honor of the birthdays of Mr..

a solo. Miss Bowman recited one of
her popular pieces in such manner as
to win an encore; as did Mr.. Dan An

showed her talent for elocution. Misses
Levy and Goldman sang very path etic
song, as did Messrs. Jack Platt and

a recitation, after which all sorts of
games and dancing were engaged in.

AN AGREEABLE AND INSTRUCTIVE
"REMINISCENCES.

Everyone is familiar with the old
Wing and Republican joke, which is
still gotten off periodically, of the York
county or Berks county (Pennsylvania)
Democrat who still goes to the polls and
votes for Andrew Jackson, laboring un-
der the consoling belief that the old
hero is still alive. The humor of this
little pleasantly is innocent and rather
agreeable.
Just now we propose to devote a few
words to General Jackson and the Dem
ocratic party. The personal incident
will be pardoned in view of the circum-
stances. The HERALD Office yesterday
received visit from Mr.. A. A. Frew.
This old gentleman voted for General
jackson for president just sixty-four
years ago, and is S5 years old. Few per-
sons would take him to be over so. He
stands elk feet high in his stocking feet,
and is as straight and alert as an Indian.
He moves like a boy, his laugh is as
mellow as in the days of his youth, and
he is full OF wit and wisdom. He has
been close observer of political and
other events, and could hold his own
with the youngest in adiscussion of past
or current events.
Mr.. Frew showed us copy of the
American Manufacturer, published in
Pittsburg, and dated in 1882. 1t is vol
ume 8, No. 80 of that journal, Thomas
Phillips publisher. 1t was the prede.
cessor of, and was merged in, the Pitts
burg Post. Democratic journal now
recognized as one of the leading dailies
OF the United States. 1t flies at its head
the Democratic ticket for 1882, when
General Jackson was up for reelection.
This ticket ran:

The Folly of Suicide.

The sin of suicide is not more evident
than is its folly. In the vast majority
of cases the ills which provoke this des-
perate act derive their force not from
the actual misery they infiict, but from
nervous apprehensiveness. Theyare the
shadows of clouds which threaten. but
may and often do pass away.
1t was one of the cruel ironies Of fate
that the suicide of M. Provost -Paradol,
who had stultifed his most brilliant
writings by accepting post-that of
minister from France to Washington
under the Second Empire, took place just
as the Liberal cause. with which his
name had always been associated, was
on the eve of triumph.
When Mary Wollstonecraft, deserted
by her American lover, paced up and
down Putney bridge saturating her gar
ments with the rain SO that they might
not prevent her from sinking in the
water her life seemed indescribably
dreary-without ray Of hope Yet
this very hour of despair proved to be
the turning point in her history. and
from it dated the truest bliss she had
ever known-a period Of welded happi
ness and joyous work. And So with
"the marvellous boy, the sleepless soul
that perished in his PRIDE" Chatterton.
He poisoned himself in his wretched
garret at the very time when the feet of
one who would have relieved his pow
erty were turned toward the street in
which he died.-Boston Transcript

The Barred Head at Funerals.

The barred head at funerals is, for hy-
gienic reasons, becoming a custom of
the past in some localities. An agita-
ton against it was started by Captain
George A. Raabe, a member of many
benevolent societies In San Francisco,
and as a result of his labors nearly
every society of the kind on the Pacific
coast has adopted resolutions to the eff
feet that the members shall keep their
hats on at the graves of their departed
comrades. Grand Army posts in Cali
fornia have followed suit Societies in
Milwaukee are discussing the same
question. Health Commissioner Win
gate, Of that city, recently made these
sensible remarks on the subject of the
exactions Of the modern funeral:
Death comes at time very often in q
family when an overworked and nearly
broken down mother or sister or wife,
or perhaps husband, is nearly if not
completely Frustrated, and whose health
Is in a most precarious condition. Ply
sicians can testify, as no other class In
the community can, to the often serious
results of funeral as it is conducted
nowadays. A delicate member of the
family, who perhaps has not been out
of the house for weeks, worn down and
prostrated by the care and grief Incl
dent to the loss of dear relative, is sub
jected to long, slow ride in carriage
on cold, inclement day. Custom has
had its way; the victim, following the
custom, thinking it a duty, returns t.
her home, not to go out again till she is
followed over the same road to the last
resting place by perhaps others who fall
victims after her.
am comparatively young man, and
yet have not fingers enough On which
to count cases of this kind that have
come under my own observation and in
my own experience as physician, and
have resolved to raise my voice against
this custom whenever and wherever l
may have the opportunity.-Chicago

The American Soldier.

To know the American soldier well
you must toll with him over the desert
trail when the sun beats hotly down on
the dry and verdureless earth, and the
dust rises in white clouds that hide the
column from view, and fills the eyes
the mustache, the ears, the mouth,
with profanity and vexation. Here Is
Ehere his songs and jokes proclaim the
stuff that he is made of. Then when
you are sent out with him in the dead of
winter over twenty inches of snow,
your equipments and supplies on bob
sleds, he it is that dismounts time and
again without a murmur, pushing to
help the mules up hill, and repacldng
the overturned sled dozen times in a
day; then after it all digging his hole
in the snow, and putting up his tent at
night, all the time joking with his
"Bunkie," and ready as ever to steal a
wisp of hay or handful Of oats for his
shivering horse.
He it is that jumped into a boiling hot
spring to save the life Of the daughter
of a private citizen-a deed for which
the citizen. who was rich man, prof
fered the astounding sum of five dollars,
and the government the gold medal of
honor; he that took fiat bottomed boat
out in heavy sea In New York harbor
to rescue drowning boy; that lost his
life for his fidelity while attempting to
swim an icy stream with dispatches;
who single handed served field gun
through an action with a bullet in his
leg, to hold a position; he that you be-
ieve incapable of anything but 'buck-
ing faro and drinking strong liquors.

A Specific Against Snakebite.

will mention an extraordinary spe-
cific for the cure of snakebite which
General Sir John Bisset obtained at
Natal. 1t was called "Croft's Tincture
of Life, and was prepared and sold by
an old Scotchman who kept the nature of
its ingredients and preparation a pro-
found secret. It was put up in small
bottles about the length and thickness
Of a mans forefinger, and these were
sold for half guinea ($2.75 each.
Of the efficacy the general declared
that there could be no question. He had
himself preserved by 1t the lives of two
of his servants, who at different times
had been bitten by venomous serpents,
to say nothing Of great many oxen and
a beautiful and valuable horse. Unfor-
tunately, Crofts died some years ago,
and it is understood that the secret of
his tincture perished with him. 1t was
probably remedy the preparation of
which was impaired to him by some one
of the Zulu witch doctors, whose knowl-
edge of the curative properties of all
African mineral, vegetable or animal
substances is known to be most extern
sive.
But they guard this knowledge jeal-
ously, and are seldom won to impart it
to any European. If the secret of the
tincture could be rediscovered its finder
might perhaps be enabled to claim the
reward of 10000 now offered by the
British government of India for specific
against snaket s.-London Cor. Phil

A Clever Defense.

Sea captains have many adventures,
and the stories of their wonderful es-
capes seldom lose by repetition. Many
years ago pirates cruised up and down
the English channel to the great peril of
the merchantmen. The story is told OF
a Captain Davis. who was noted for his
quick wit as well as for his skill in navi-
cation, that he was returning from Ire
land with cargo consisting mainly of
butter.
He had not been out very long when a
pirate was seen coming down upon him.
In vain all sails were spread: every mo-
ment brought the pirate nearer.
The men were at their wits end, but
the captain knew a trick or two. He
ordered his men to take off their boots
and stockings, and directed that score
of butter barrels be brought on deck.
In few minutes the barrels had been
knocked to pieces, and the butter was
thickly spread all over the deck and out
side the ship. Not a rope nor a spar
that was not slippery. Even without
their boots and stockings the sailors
could scarcely keep on their legs.
On came the pirate, not dreaming how
smoothly he was to be received. Cap
tain Davis assumed an air of submission
and allowed the enemy to come along
side quietly.
But lol when they jumped over, fully
armed, with pistol in one hand and
sword in the other, they slipped about
and tumbled over each other on the but
tered deck like so many rats.
One fellow shot head foremost down
into the cabin, where he was imme-
diately set upon by the boy; another
slid across the deck and shot out into
the sea by an opposite portfolio.
Not one of them could stand on his
feet. and as pirates are generally super
stitious, an idea seized them that the
ship was possessed Of the devil. They
hurried back into their own vessel, cast
loose, and Captain Davis got safely into
port at the expense of few pounds of
butter.-Youtn's COMPANION.
