State division Is no new thing in Ameri-
ca. 1t is not exact to say that all the
lands formerly held in the west by the
old states formed an integral part of
these. But the lands held, say by Con-
necticut and Virginia and Ohio, were SO
after fashion and were merged into
o great state. Besides this, however,
we have the formation of Kentucky out
of Virginia, Tennessee out of North
Carolina, Maine out of Massachusetts,,
Mississippi and Alabama out of Geor-
gia, Vermont out of New York and
West Virginia out Of Virginia. In none
of these cases were the conditions more
diverse than those of our two great di-
visions in California. There is no record
that any Of these regret their new state
hood, nor is there an intimation that
they desire or have ever desired t.
merge again into the old state.
The desire for local self government
in southern California arises from nc
jealousies, no antagonisms to northern
California, and, least of all, to political
place hunting. 1t is the result of econom-
ic and political necessities. We need q
state government of our own. In fed
eral affairs we have our own separate
officers, courts, military department,
ETC., just as Oregon has; we have our
own financial and industrial independ-
ence as much as Oregon has, and we have
q new population quite as distinct from
that of northern California as is that o;
the state of Washington.-Cali

One night not very far back a scene
was enacted In the, north side Brandy
wine park which might have ended in
O tragedy. IL seems that a very pretty
young married lady had made an en-
gagement with young lochinvar to
walk within the park. As the shades
of evening fell, the couple met on the
north side of Market street bridge, and
proceeded TO walk lelsurely along the
railroad track out to the benches
which are strewed go picturesquely
through that beautiful seat OF nature.
III due time this particular spot was
reached and they seated themselves
very lovingly upon one of the numer-
GUS benches.
But alas, there Ia not always sill.
yer lining to each cloud, not by any
means. The husband who Is Il railroad
man and was not expected home un-
til after midnight, owing to some mis-
understanding came home sooner and
not finding his wife In her accustomed
place, happened to meet d friend who
stated he had seen her out near Mar
ket street bridge. Without waiting to
get the duet of travel of or to change
his clothes. with fire 10 his eye and q
heated brain he walked quickly out to
that bridge. and upon inquiry found
such lady had gone up the railroad
with gentleman. On went our en-
ragged better half. After walking
some distance he saw ahead dress
and figure very familiar.
Z AZ the hunter cresps silently upon
his prey or the Indian cleeps towards
his victim. eager for his scalp'loek. so
this railroad man cIept up until after
they were seated. He was secreted be-
hind o tree in hearing distance.
The first thing the lady said was:
e, l cannot fulfil my engage
iment OF tomorrow night"
His reply was: why, my darling;
why can you notq
She said: Because l expect my
husband home late tonight, and he
will not go out again at once"
With this expression the enraged
husband rushed from his ambush and
deliberately seized the young mer-
chant by the coat collar.
The wife and young man did not
know what to do; first. they turned
white then red, then white again. The
husband lifted the young man on his
feet, then with the vigor OF an athlete
and the strength to which indignation
added force, applied number shoe
to the seat OF his pants, rapidly as the
motion of one of their own engines
came these shoe tops. time after time,
they came.down.
The wife cried and pleaded for her
lover, but the more she entreated, the
faster and harder came the blows un-
til exhausted, when the now thorough
ly frightened merchant wrenched him
self loose, and with the swiftness of
the wind, rapidlyran toward the upper
Brandywine. The husband then turn
ed upon his erring spouse and taking
her roughly by the arm, marched her
directly to her home and when there
gave her good floRging. Our mer-
chant still walks with painful effort,
l"poor fellow" and tho wife is not pre-.
lsentable upon the street.

Gait ia an important part Of physical
expression. By his gait man tells us
whether he is fresh or tired, strong OF
feeble, in good health or in bad. To some
extent also gait denotes occupation. The
upright and somewhat rigid walk of the
soldier differs largely from the rather
rolling gait of the sailor, and different
from both of these is the slow, joltine
gait of the country laborer, which, how.
ever, is partly accounted for by his clum.

A new principle has been suggested in
the manufacture of bank notes. If a
sheet of paper be plunged into mixture
of various coloring matters, each color
will penetrate into the fiber with diff
ferent degree of speed, each brand hay-
ing distinct color. 1t would be impos-
sible to initiate these effects without an
exact knowledge of how tho mixture of
colors was made. If drop of the mix
ture of eolors be allowed to fall on sheet
of paper, number of rings, each having
determined size and shade, will be de-
veloped, and thus imitation will be rem

No one who has not actually mixed
with New York handles knows how
much they spend. A social philosopher
has lately reckoned that young man
about town, who takes his part in the
good things which are going, cannot
dress under $500 year. His tailor's
bill will eat half Of this, his shirts and
'gentlemen's furnishings" quarter, his
boots not less than sees. twill cost over
$500 to outfit him for yachting, tennis
and polo. Then add to this his bill fol-
horses, his club bill, his florists bill, his
restaurant bill, his lodging bill and the
nameless sundries which constitute one
half of the outlay of q young man about
town, and it will be seen that man may
have $4,000 year and yet be familiar
with the face of duns.
One of the Oldest and wisest clubmen
of-the day recently, after an hours study
of the necessaries of life for man of
fashion, declared that he would advise
no one to attempt the life with less than
$25, 900 a year.-Cor. San Francisco Ar.

a Very Poor Way TO Mend Hard
Times.
From the Morning NewR.

Mr.. EDrTon:-we hear much OF hard
times now; and, doubtless. the times
are for some very hard. Let ne fer.
vently hope they may not be worse as
the winter comes, with Its especial
burdsns.
We hear much also OF remedies for
these hard times. Some OF them may
be good. and some may not be. En-
perieuce alone can settle the question
as to portion OF them.
But there is absolutely no room for
doubt in regard to the effect OF some
things upon the condition OF gffaire
with which we are now confronted.
What l have IN mind especially In
troubling you with the communities
ton is the list published in to.day's
paper OF applications for saloon licen-
ses to be made at the next term oil
court.
When SO many men and women
hitherto employed are idle. and when
Notwithstanding the utter failure by
some to earn any wages at all-thelr
own needs and the needs of thell
families remain practically as before,
is IL time to open new saloons, or
even to continue SO many of the old
ones?
When the times are SO hard that even
the necessaries of life cannot, except
by charity or by running into debt OF
by using up the savings of years, be
obtained, is 1t, / ask again. time to
put afresh and in additional numbers

|laboring people to spend money for
that which Is not only unnecessary
but hurtful2 And, further, to endanger
their future ability to earn their llveli-

lie not this very poor way to mend
hard times?
Let any OF your readers scan tho list
las published to-day, and II he be at all
intelligent or candid, he will be oblig-
ed to confess that not one OF the
places therein named Is necessary In
any sense OF the word, except to en-.
rich their keepers, at the expense most.
ly of the workmen of Wilmington and
their families.
Does 1t not seem positively wicked
thus to endeavor to make the times
for these harder than they already
are?

Is it too much for me to beg my
fellow-citizens that they will consider
this grave question anew in the light
of our present and prospective condi
