Hrhe Largest Cak Board:

The largest oak board ever sawed was
ripped from the body of mammoth

cumference, and was said to be the
largest perfectly round oak in the state.
1t was purchased by FL. Hermann, the

quired the combined strength OF two
yoke of oxen and eight horses a whole

CALIFORNIA; CARNIVAL.
Her Ice Palace Is Built, and the Affair Is
a Success.

CALIFORNIA; ice palace is an accom-.
plished fact, and her ice carnival has
just been opened, and she is reaching
for some of the laurels hitherto monopo-
lized by Canada. 1t is a striking illus
tration of the wide range of climate in
the state and the varied attraction it of
fers that while an ice carnival is in full
swing in one part the orange crop will
be harvested in another part.
The ice carnival is being held at
Truckee. The ice palace is built of lum-
Der and wire netting, veneered with d
coating of ice. Water is sprayed over the
structure every day and freezes during
the night. A week ago the ice coating
was two inches thick.
The skating Kinks are in good condi-
ton, there is good sleighing already and
big toboggan slide is building. 1t will
be California S first ice carnival and is
attracting much attention all over the
state and in neighboring states.

Brevet Rank.

The story is told of soldier of the
Army of the Potomac who had his own
ideas as to his financial value, as we'll
las the method by which that value could
be realized.
He was a white man and was detailed
for service as a teamster in train
which was driven for the most part by
negroes. The negroes were hired at the
rate Of $25 per month, but the white
soldier received no more than his regu-
lar pay of $40.
he appeared somewhat dissatisfied
with this arrangement and made an ap-
phcation to his captain.
Il should like" he said gravely, to
De appointed negro by brevet, and be
assigned to duty in accordance with my

FIRST OF JANUARY RESOLUTIONS.
Notions That, Carried Out, Will Help to
Make 1896 a Pleasant Year.


If you wish to avoid one fruitful cause
of discomfort during the coming year,
make resolution not to grumble about
the weather. Kicking and fault finding
never made hot day cooler or a cold day
warmer; but, on the other hand, they al
ways intensity the current weather trouble
immensely.
If you want to make your husband good
natured, resolve to help him to have his
own way invariably. He probably will
anyhow, and the adoption and carrying
out of this resolution will save whole lot
of trouble.
If your wife has got in the habit of ask
ing you for money every day, resolve to
make her a regular allowance and then
keep your resolution. You'll be as much
surprised by the result as she will be by
the resolution
If you have become disheartened by the
depravity of your fellow men, resolve to
stop thinking about it and try to do a
favor every day for some one of them. 1t
will amaze you to see how quickly the
world at large will improve in your eyes
If the new year finds you clean discour-
aged because of lack of progress in 1890,
review the 10 months carefully and see II
wasted time has not been at the bottom OF
your failures If it has, resolve to make
the minutes count in 1896. A year is
made up OF minutes, and you cannot well
fail to advance between New Years days
If you make every minute count.
If you have had hard work keeping your
New Years resolutions in the past, resolve
this year to make none and to conduct
yourself in such way that none will be
necessary. Good practice is better than
good resolves always

CAUGHT HIS TRAIN ON HORSEBACK.
A Runaway Locomotive Had Many Sleep
ing Passengers In Tow.

/
ing Passengers In Tow.
Early ono morning the engineer and
fireman of she Santa Fe overland train,
bound east, when near Cajon pass, i'm
agined they saw something on the track
right ahead Thinking the train was
about to be wrecked they both jumped
/ The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
/ when the fireman picked himself up out
of the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood of wagon to
which two horses had been attached.
Their driver had seen the headlight Of
the engine and had jumped in time to
save himself, and the animals them
selves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside, which showed that
they had not been greatly disturbed by
the accident.
But the train, with nobody at the en-
gine's throttle, was plunging away
through the darkness, the passengers
asleep in their berths, utterly uncon-
scious that they were being drawn by a
wild locomotive.
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind, thought he would try to overtake
the flying train on foot Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one OF
the horses, he set out after the runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly, as
it had to climb very steep grade, and
i if the fire under the boilers was not kept
up the supply of steam would not fur
nish sufficient pressure to keep the
wheels going around. The vagrant train
did stop mile and half from where
| the accident occurred. There did not
seem to be any reason for an Interrupt
ton of the journey just at that point,
and so the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask the
engineer what had given out.
When they found the cab empty, Of
course the trainhands We're very much
mystifed. They asked each other good
many questions, and were engaged IN
looking up theories to account for the
strange disappearance of the engine
crew when the fireman came Looping
along on the horse he had borrowed.
| After explanation had been made, lie
turned his horse toward this city and
brought the first tidings the railroad
people had of the missing train. hack
was sent out to the scene with another
| engineer, and as soon as steam was
raised the overland went on over the
bill through Cajon pass. The same car
riage brought the injured engineer to
the city Francisco Examiner.

LAST SLAVE AUCTION.

d =. vv,s al Savannah Year and a Half
Before the War.
The last great slave auction held in
This country occurred just year and a
hoJf before the war-in October, 1859
at +he race track in Savannah. The
slaves were the property Of Pierce But
Ter a picturesque and prominent figure
at that day in Philadelphia society,
who is today only remembered as hav-
ING been the husband of Fanny Kemble,
the actress, reader and author. His fam
ilv name was Mease, but he inherited
fortune in lands and slaves from his
grandfather. Major Pierce Butler Of
South Carolina, on condition that he
should take the latter's name.
Buffers inveterate~ passion for gam
bling got him into financial difficulties.
j 1t is said that he lost $26, 900 on sin
gle hand-four deuces against four
kings held by his opponent.
Finally, to meet his losses, Butler
was forced to sell his slaves. There
were 988 Of them in all. The sale took
two days and Melted $303,850. Butler
had chosen a good time to sell. A yesr
later his negroes would not have been
worth a dollar head. But the sale
would have been more profitable had it
hot been announced as one of the con-
Editions that no division Of families
would be permitted. Hence, in order to
secure a good slave, buyers often had
sto take with them infrm or aged rela-
hives. Out of this limitation grew
memorable tragedy. Tom Pate, a we'll
known Vicksburg trader, bought at the
bale man, his two sisters and his wife,
with the guarantee that they should
bot be separated. Disregarding this,
PATE sold the sisters, one to Pat Somers,
y brother trader, and the other to resi-
dent Of st. Louis. What legal rights
NEGRO had in the south were we'll pro.
tected. Somers was told of the guaran-
tee, and he sent the girl back to Pate
u and demanded his money. A quarrel
was the result, and Somers was shot
dead Ten days later his nephew killed
pate, and died from wounds received.

AT THE PAVILION
A German-American Meeting That Was
Such Only in Name

Editor Herald: Last night was ad-
vertised as German-American and
workingmens night at the pavilion. 1t
is not my intention to speak Of the alb
sence of workingmen in last nights Re-
publican meeting. but of the scarcity
of the German element. Being thorough
ly acquainted with the German ele-
ment in Los Angeles dare say there
were not fifty persons of German ex-
traction in the pavilion last night, wo-
men and children included, and there
were numbers of these. The German
speaker in English last night, ex-Judge
l.. Gottschalk, or, as one next to me
would have it, Gotcheek got Off such a
conglomerate of platitudes and claptrap
that a whole lot of people left because
they couldn't stand 1t. There was no
better evidence of what DR.. Joseph
Kurtz said some time ago in the Wig
wan, that the Germans would vote as
16 to / against Mckinley, than what was
shown last night in the pavilion; In
fact, IL appearances are any way right,
the Germans are going to vote SO to 1
