A Suspicious Character.

About 10 o'clock this morning
hard looking character named
Daniel Lynch was arrested on East
Commerce street, at the Sunset
crossing, on the charge of being
suspicious character, and was TAX
en- to the Central police station in
the patrol wagon. Whe searched
he had on his person $22.lO. sHis
cheek was cut badly and he ap-
peared to have been "on the road"
for a long time. He claimed he
was a book-keeper by, profession.
but that he had been working at a
stone quarry. He said he had met
with an accident ten days ago in
which his face was cut. There will
likely be some interesting develop
ments from this arrest when the
case is tried before the recorder to-
morrow morning.

Jesus Garcia and Juan Cava!lesO
were arraigned before Recorder
Shardein this morning to answer
to the charge of fighting. Garcia
pleaded guilty and the evidence
was heard. 1t seems that Garcia
met Cavalleso at the Bella Union
theatre last night and row re-
suited. Garcia pulled knife on
his opponent and endeavored to
cut him but was not successful as
friends interfered. Cavalleso then
went into the gambling room to
avoid trouble and was followed by
Garcia, who made three attempts
to cut him. Officer Dobrowalski
rushed in and arrested both parties.

l believe the first test of truly great
man is his humility. do not mean by
humility doubt of his own power, or
hesitation in speaking his opinions, but
right understanding of the relations
between what he can do and say and the
rest of the worlds doings and sayings.
All great men not only know their own
business, but usually know that they
know it, and are not only right in their
main opinions, but usually know they
are, only they do not think much of them
selves on that account. They do not
expect their fellow men to fall down and

1t is remarkable that men, when thu.
differ in what they think consideraii.,
are apt to differ in almost anything ,..'
Their difference begets contradict
contradiction begets heat; heat rises is,
resentment, rage and ill-will. Thus they
differ in affection, as they differ in judi:
ment, and the contention which began
in pride, ends in anger.-Cato.
He who never relaxes into sportive
ness is wearisome companion; bur lie

Such men desparage, by ludicrous asso
citation, all objects which are presence

themselves incapable of any emotion
which can either elevate or soften
they bring upon their moral being ,a;l

of the desert.-Southey.
In company it is a very great fault to
be more forward in setting off ones sell,
talking to show ones parts, than to learls
the worth and be truly acquainted witt

is like foolish tradesman who makes

any new.-Charron
