Spare Moments.

Work is good. No one seriously doubts
this truth. But work is not the only good
thing in this world. 1t is not fetch to
be adored, neither is it to be judged,
like a sum in addition, by its outward
and immediate results. DR.. johnson had
scant sympathy with inconsistent and
arrogant industry. mo man. sir, is
obliged to do as much as he can. A man
should have part Of his life to himself"
Leisure has value Of its own. 1t is not
a mere handmade of labor, it is some
thing we should know how to cultivate,
to use and to enjoy. 1t has a distinct
and honorable place wherever nations
are released from their first rude needs,
their first homely toll and rise to hap
pier levels Of grace and intellectual re-
pose. "The success Of any society worth
considering is to be estimated largely by
the use to which it's fortunate put their

The Spanish wit and philosopher,

Never give yourself rest; that is another.

Paticrca With EccentricitY.

Many Of the leading people in English
society regarded Thomas Carlyle with a
feeling almost akin to reverent deligl
when he chose to behave like an igno-
rant boor In their drawing rooms, even
taking his seat, 1t is said, unbidden in
the presence Of the queen. This gener-
alton, however, has little patience with
such eccentricities.
1t was an English bishop that is still
living who, when the historian Freeman
had worn out his patience with his rude
ness, introduced him to waiting audi
ence as ''the distinguished scholar that
80 admirably describes and illustrates
the savagery Of our ancestors. ."-Youth's

FARRAGUT'S OLD SHIP.
The Historic Hartford Resting on
Terra Firma.
Her Timbers Are Well Preserved and
the Cost of Repairs Will Be
Less Than Estimated.
Special to THE MORNING CALI.

VALLEJO. July 26-The Hartford was
cast loose from her moorings in Rotten
Row at o'clock this afternoon, where she
since being out of commission. Prior to
casting loose her cable mooring-chains the
drydock had been flooded and the caisson
moved ready for receiving the old ship.
AS soon as all was in readiness the navy
yard tug Nellie went alongside and making
fast to the Hartford steamed down stream
to point opposite the drydock, where
lines we're made fast and the ship hauled
into the dock.
AS soon as the ship was in proper posi-
tion the stayblocks, which bad been previ-
ously adjusted. we're secured underneath
the old hull and the pumps started. In
one ard half hours the dock was cleared
OF all water and Farragut's flagship once
more rested on terra irma, the first time in
over eight years.
Her hull was comparatively free from
any fouliDg incident to exposure, and from
haSty examination made this afternoon
it was evident that the Hartford is in
comparatively good state of preservation
and that it will not require the amount
first specified to replace the rotten timber
and put the ship in serviceable condition.
AS Commander Glass, who is senior
member of the board OF survey to survey
the Hartford, is member of the Sullivan
court-martial, it is more than probable
that the board of survey will not inspect
the Hartford before the Sullivan case is
disposed of.
