THE LAND OFFICE.
General Cosby About to be Installed
as Receiver.

General George B. Cosby has, by or
der Of the Government, closed the In
dian farm In Amador County. and now
the poor Indians will have to hustle
for acorns again, just as the General
had got things to working nicely on
the reservation. Only moderate ap-
preparation had been made by Con-
gress, and that has been exhausted.
Whether or not it will be renewed re-
mains TO be determined.
1t is possible some of the Indians may
choose to remain on the farm and work
out their own salvation, but unless
there be someone to look after them
they will be apt to take to the woods
again. Should another Superintendent
be appointed, however, it is quite likely
that S. ]. Holsinger, a prominent citi-
zen of Amador (and well known In this
city, will be the man. He has strong
petition now on file in Washington. Mr..
Holsinger would be an excellent man
for the place.
In a few days General Cosby will en-
ter on his duties as Receiver Of the
Federal Land Office in this city, sue
ceeding Charles A. Gardner, whose
term expired some months since.

LIKE GOOD ANGELS.
How the Salvation Army People Re-
spOnd to Cries of Distress.

The case of distress in the rear of
91S Second street, to which attention
was called in the Record Union" yes
terday morning, has been investigated
by the Salvation Army and found to be
as represented.
The noble hearted men and women Of
that organization have, with their usual
charitableness, provided for the imme-
date wants of the sick and suffering
members Of the family. But their
means are limited, and the public
should respond freely and promptly to
their appeal for help to aid the sick
and those in want
There need be-indeed there is-no
fear that any funds intrusted to these
good people will be misapplied but that
they will be properly and economically
used in relieving cases of actual want.
Their Christmas fund has now reached
the 5000 mark. and it ought to be soon
doubled or trebled. A small sum each
from those who can afford to give even
little will in the aggregate make a
handsome sum.

HEIRS SALARY.
Trustee Devine Attempts to Prevent
Its Payment.

BY the aid Of Louis and Henry Myers,
who have promised to the extent of
a $500 indemnity bond to see him
through the Superior Court, City Trus-
tee Devine has sued out an injunction
against City Auditor Young and City
Treasurer Carmichael, restraining them
from paying to G. w. Herr the sum Of
SoI6 so, alleged to be due for services
IN inspecting streets and alleys during
the months OF June, July, August and
September, 1895.
The ground upon which the injunction
IS asked IS that the revenue Of the city
for the fiscal year ending January g..
1896, was insufficient to pay current
expenses.

Present Sympathy.

My text also suggests the reason why so many people do not get any real com fort. You meet ten people. Nine of them are in need of some kind of condolence.
 There is something in their health, or in their state, or in their domestic con- dition that demands sympathy. And yet most of the worlds sympathy amounts to absolutely nothing People go to the wrong crib or they go in the wrong way. When the plague was in Rome, a great many years ago, there were 80 men who chanted themselves to death with the itanies of Gregory the Great literally ohanted themselves to death and yet it did not stop the plague. And all the music of this world cannot halt the plague of the human heart come to some one whose ailments are chronic, and say, .'In heaven you will never be sick" That does not give you much comfort. What you want is a soothing power for your present distress. Lost children, have you2 I come to you and tell you that in ten years, perhaps, you will meet those loved ones before the throne of God. But there is but little condolence in that. One day is year with them, and ten years is small eternity. What you want is sympathy now-present help. I come to those of you who have lost dear friends and say: ''Try to forget them. Do not keep the departed always in your mind" How can you forget them when every figure in the carpet and every book and every picture and every room calls out their name. Suppose I come to you and say by way of coincidence, ''God Is wise. "Oh," you Say, "that gives me no helpp Suppose come to you and say,
 "God. from all eternity, has arranged this trouble" "Ah," you say, "that does me no goodp' Then say, "With the swift feet of prayer go direct to the corncrib for heavenly supply" You go. You say, "Lord, help me; Lord,
 comfort me. But no help yet. No
