Railiff Rashford,s place

Thomas Bashford, who was out cunning
on Saturday for Police Judge Campbell
and others because the Judge had declared
his position as bailiff of Police Court l
vacant. was around yesterday declaring
that he did not intend 10 kill anybody.
Judge Campbell therefore ventured to fill
the vacancy. In the morning he appointed
ex-Assemblyman James p. Brown as his
bailiff, and in the afternoon declared that
the appOin tment had been rescinded. II
was then announced that Frank McNa-
mara had been appointed. Brown has the
"star" and McNamara's friends say that
the latter has the job. The Judge had not
fully decided the contention when last
seen.

FOR TEMPERANCE.
An Ent EIusiastic Meeting Prelim-
inary to a Special Congress.

An Enthusiastic Meeting PreIim-
mary to a Special Congress.
Earnest advocates of temperance held
an enthusiastic meeting last evening at
the big tent, formerly used at the Yatman
revival services, on the corner Of Seventh
and Mission streets.
The occasion was announced as mass
meeting, preliminary to the great temper
ance congress to be held in this city from
the 21st to the 28;h inst.
Short speeches were made by prominent
clergy aud laymen. Among those particu-
larry we'll known on the programme being ::
Rev. +. B. Pullen. o. E. Moore, Rev. j. q
A. Henry, Rev. c. o. Brown, Mrs. S. G.
Sanford, Rev Eli McClish. Mrs. B.
Shorterant- Peet. Major Ripple, Rev. w.
w. Case, NJ. >. Woodlands and Rev. j. A.
Adams
The Importance of temperance work
among the young was dwelt on in a bright
ana interesting vein, ana it was pointed
out that much progress had already been
effected in this department of work on the
coast, and even more might be expected
under the kindly influence of the ap.
preaching congress.
The eloquent addresses were varied by
choice musical selections and apt recita-
tons. Letters of sympathy with the work
from prominent friends of the young gem
Grafton were read and received with ap-
plause.
In view of the success of the meeting it
was intimated that the cause of temper
auce would be specially urged by various
churches in the interval before the holding
of the big Temperance Congress.

CRUMBLING RUINS.
All That Remains of San
Fernando.
But the Old Mission Has a PiCtur.
esque Beauty Even in Its
DeSOlation.

The very mention of the name of San
Fernando brings up visions of the days
gone by. And there is every reason why
it should because 1t really has no place in
this busy prosaic age. The glories of San
Fernando in old mission days were known
all over the world, but now only a few
crum bling walls remain to tell of what
once was.
San Fernando, one of the youngest, was
also one of the richest and most useful of
California missions. In the first fifty years
of its history there were recorded 3149
baptisms. 2140 burals and 923 marriages.
Its principal building was 500 feet long,

NPxro Superstltions.

Among thu superstitions of southern negroes are those which make it a most unfavorable thing to see a black cat crossing ones path, or to turn back without making cross" in the street, road or path. The belief in witches is perhaps more general than any other, and an ex- congressman tells of a case in this section within the past 30 years in which a witch was killed in very strange fashion. A negro called on witch doctor. a very old woman, and was told that the cause of the trouble was witch and that she must be kill ed; that the only way possible to thus put her out of the way was to go into the woods and cut the figure of per son on the bark of big pine tree, mark a cross on the body and shoot this with a silver bullet. the cross representing the witch's heart The shooting was duly done in the presence of quite number of persons. This occurred in the northern part of this county. Ce- dar balls are carried in the pockets as a protection against witches. The ne- gro belief in these is certainly fully matched by that of white men who car Y in their pockets buckeyes and Irish potatoes. or who wear thick iron rings on their fingers as preventive of rheu- matism- Cor.

English Criminals.

Doubtless, to judge from your aver age daily journal, murders and sui cides, crimes and catastrophes, wars and feuds and frauds, would seem to re- main the staple of the human record. But be it remembered that, for obvious reasons, all our worst and darkest is col lected there. One might as well judge of public health by the painful cases described in medical publication as of the vast mass of solid human happi- ness and innocent living joy by the dai- ly catalogue of these really trivial ex- captions to it. As for sins-the most se- rious of which are only such as are malicious-though the population in crease, they seem steadily to diminish. We had ST, ,G6S "habituals" in 1868; now the evil roll is only 52, 153.
 When the population of England was 19,257, 900 in 1869, there were 2,5S9 persons undergoing penal servitude; now, with population of 27, $50, 1T9, the number is only 947. In 1878 the en- tire number of prisoners in our jalls was 20, S33; the entire number at the same date last year was 12, 663, though the population had increased by 6,000,- 900. Pauperism is also declining. In 1870, 1,O79, 1891 persons were in receipt of relief; in 1891, with an addition of more than 2, 1000, 900 inhabitants, there were only 774, 9O5. The upshot of these figures - without pressing them too much-seems surely to be that tn" eos mic process" in our own little corner of the universe is not doing so badly.-Sir Edwin Arnold in Longnan s Magazine.

WEALTH HERE AND ABROAD.
Points of Contrast Between the Rich I
 America nnd Tn Europe.


 Points of Contrast Between the Rich In America and In Europe.
 The English and the Americans are both rich, but which are the richer2 Perhaps the statisticians know or can find out, but it is not certain that the statistical answer would give the infor- nation that one really wants and which involves the distribution of wealth as 1 we'll as its mere existence. Most Amer jeans have to work; but, as is we'll known, a considerable proportion of English people toll not nor spin, and make no pretense of doing anything tor living. Is that because the English arc richer than we, or is it matter of taste or a result of primogeniture? So also it appears-from close study of documents submitted by Anthony Trol- lope and other contemporaneous histo- rians-that British gentlemen in re- spectable circumstances employ from five to fifty servants and have several houses apiece, all of which they live in, and travel much besides. An Ameri- can who lives in that way is looked upon as man of very exceptional re- sources, but it would seem that an Eng fish gentleman who does not live in that way is thought to be somewhat strait ened. In England there arc 800 or 400 hunt clubs, and something like 20, 900 Britishers ride pretty regularly to hounds. But hunting is an expensive sport that takes both time and money. These English seem to have both to spare.
 A returned traveller was speaking of the shoals of agreeable English people he met in tie Riviera and in all the play places of southern Europe. When asked if they were rich people, he said not, but that they were able to live as they did because they knew how and got their moneys worth. He thought, too, that the well to do English had a more complete domestic apparatus ready to. hand than most Americans and could spend a larger proportion of their incomes on travel and amusement. Houses and furniture and such expen- sive vanities they had already by in- heritance and were not compelled to spend useful money in providing them.
 Regarding the English habit of pub fishing novels in three bound volumes would the American buy novels in such costly form? Are not all the habits of living that we borrow from the British, from dock tailed horses to indoor men servants, more costly than the customs they supersede? They must have great deal of money to spend, those enterpris- ing islanders. No one would hesitate to say that the Americans are richer than the Russians, or the Italians, or the Germans, or even the thrifty French, but the Briton gives us pause. Is he really richer than we are, or is he mere- ly an older son, and a dweller in a land where servants work for small pay, and clothes are cheap, and novels are rented out by Mudie, and the tax on stimulants is laid for revenue, and not for prevention, and whero to loaf and l invite ones soul is esteemed a prefer able thing to toll ?--Harper's Weekly.

Mixing tho EacR.

An amusing incident has just come to light anent tho recent marriage of a prominent young railroad man to an up town belle. As is usual on such oc- casions, the arrangements, including tho financial end of tho transaction in hearts, were left to the best man, him. self we'll known club man and a cricketer of local repute. The story that IS now going the rounds, and which is creating~ considerable merriment, deals wholly with the part played by the latter young man. By some unac- countable contretemps the youth in question delivered to the organist the magnificent sum of $50, while the shock headed youngster who supplied the wind for the instrument was gladdened by the gift of $l0.
 When it came to tho clergyman, how ever, the lavish expenditure previously made had so depleted the nuptial funds that only S2 remained. With unblush- ing effrontery and perfect sang froid the best man rendered the two plunks to the dominic, whose feelings can bet ter be imagined than described.
 The organist says tho wedding was the most brilliant of the season, while the shock headed boy who supplied the wind characterizes 1t as "hot stuff. " It would be interesting to know what the clergyman who tied the knot thinks about it.--,Philadelphia Record.

DnIYeriZed Cork.

Considerable use is now belng made of the newly introduced French article to which the name of subirine has been given The substance consists of pull verized cork of different degrees of fine ness, known as impalpable, fine, medi- um and coarse, the pulverization being effected by very simple means, such as a horizontal g1indstone. Among these the medium powders have for some time been employed in the French navy and by various navigation companies for painting tho sheet iron and parti- tions of the insides of vessels. The effect of such coatings is said to be to consider ably diminish the conductibility of the sheet iron and the vibrations so un- pleasant which arc produced as soon as the sea becomes little rough. Another use for these cork powders is in the preparation of substance called lie zine, which consists of the powder mixed with fine plaster in the propor- tion of about 10 per cent. This iegine composition is turned out in all shapes and sizes and is stated to be specially useful as a protection alike from heat or cold, or for partitions, roofs, lofts,
 ceilings and coatings of all descrip- tions; also as packing for boilers, ice houses, conservatories, coverings for in short, for the large number of cases where it is desirable to maintain
 an equal temperature.-N York Sun.
