MODESTO, April 21.-A deed was re- corded to-day in this county for all of the land and real and personal property of the late pr. T. E. Tynan, who died at San Francisco last week, aged 80 years. The property was all deeded to the widow, Mary Tynan. pr. Tynan was the aged pioneer who was in hiding for two years while two stepchildren by former mar riage attempted to secure their alleged interest in the property, which was valued at s25O, 900. pr. Tynan supse- quently returned from Boston, and the Supreme Court of the State handed down an opinion that the contestants had no rights to the property. Owing to the de- preciation and costs of litigation the es- tate is not now considered worth more than $l50,00O The deed was made in 1896, but was not recorded until to-day.

Four cruisers of between eleven and twelve hundred tons are distributed around the island. In addition to this force Spain has stationed in Cuban ports a large number of gunboats, ranging in displacement from 800 to 200O tons.
 It is recognized by the officials that Captain General Blanco, in view of the hostile parade being made by Rear Admiral Sampson's fleet, will not di- rect the confinement of Spanish vessels to Cuban ports, where they will be pro- tected by land batteries, and it is the expectation of the authorities that these ships will attempt to do as much damage to the blockading squadron as possible.
 Rear Admiral Sampson is expected to take measures to destroy any vessels making an attack, and while he will not Lombard any Notifications he is expected to direct the commanding of ficers of the vessels of his fleet to cap ture or destroy any Spanish men-of- war which they may meet.
 This will be especially the case with the torpedo gun vessels which Spain has in Cuban waters, as naval experts fear that these hornets may attempt to put torpedoes into the hulls of the battle-ships and monitors forming the attacking force.
 Information has reached the au- thorities that the Spanish officials in Cuba and Porto Rico, in anticipation of the arrival of the American fleet, have placed mines in the harbors of these islands, and have taken every precau- tion possible to defend them against attack. It is not proposed to risk any vessels of the North Atlantic squadron by sending them into a harbor in or der to attack cities or any men, -of-war that may be lying therein
 AS the Herald has stated, the inten- tion of this Government is to institute a pacific blockade, but it is not ex- pected that its pacificatory character will last long. in view of the practical certainty that the Spanish ships in Gu ban waters will resist the coming of tba American fleet

LIFE'S MYSTERIES.

One evening, in the late autum of
1887, was passenger on ferryboat
plying between South Ferry, New
York and Stapleton, Staten Island.
That being before the day of the
double deckers," both the ladies and
gents cabins were on the ground floor
Anyone familiar with these old boats
need not be told that the gents cabins
were veritable smokehouses. Now, as

which 1 imbibe, you will please to inn

sauntering out upon the forward deck
leisurely putting "rosa perfecto."
There is, to me at least, something
facinating in a large volume of swiftly
gliding water, and nowhere has this
feeling been so strong as while watch
ing the Hudson rushing out to meet
the Atlantic impelled by the ebbing
tide.

1000 words. Then he went back to the
office of the Kazoo and turned out copy
for three or four hours. It was the
sentiments of Barkis, but not his words.
1t was an Grafton of beautiful, sonorous
and well-rounded sentences; full of
logic and arraying it's facts like an
army on parade, in glittering phalanx.
Then the reporter went to bed, un-
certain whether he would get his So or
be kicked out of the Office the next day.
1t was o'clock in the afternoon
when he cautiously approached the
owner and editor of the Daily Kazoo.
He was handed an envelope containing
$15 with gracious nod.
'That was damned good speech
Barkis made last night" said the editor.
The reporter was non.committal
"He came around just before noon
and ordered the forms put on the press
and an extra 1000 copies of the paper
printed. He also left $40 for the man
that reported the speech"
The reporter smiled grimly and
turned to 60.
"Say, young fellow, I'll give you $12
week to make yourself generally use
full around here"
'It is too much money, Mr.. Padfoot.
With fifteen dollars in my inside pocket

is large enough to hold me. Good day."

BEHIND PRISON BARS.

In the practice and carrying out of
Universal Brotherhood there is no
class of people that appeal more strong.
ly to the charity or compassion of the
noble minded than those confined with
in our prison walls; and yet, how very
little of their real character and condi-
tion is known outside of the walls
which inclose them.
The prison door clangs behind them;
they are shut out from the world; and
the world gives sigh of relief and SET
ties down into sense of security and
immunity from further annoyance
from their acts. Society is protected;
but what Of the convict barred from
every tie on earth; banished from every
kind influence, every helping hand.
Could the world go with him to his
cell and there witness the feelings which
surge in quick succession through heart
and brain: the shame, the keen sense
of disgrace, the utter despair at leav-
ing behind all that made life dear; the
hopelessness of a future which appears
worse than death; the oft-times over
whelming sense of his crime-which
nothing but the close, unrelenting walls
of prison might ever have thought
him to realiZe-a crime committed nine
times out of ten under the influence of
Intoxicating drink, or maddened by
passion or fancied injustice. What
of him, say? True he has merited
punishment; broken law must be
atoned for, and our courts of justice
have apparently adjusted the matter.
But does our responsibility end there :?
Must he be left to his punishment with
out one ray of hope for his future? Is
there sin so great as to doom an i'm
mortal soul to damnation? That may
have been the belief of the dwellers in
the dark age, but scarcely meets the de-
mand of rational minds to-day.
Punishment is sometimes just, but
let justice be tempered with mercy.
Life in prison could never cease to be
a punishment under the most favorable
auspices to the prisoner
Aside from few exceptional cases
of hardened criminals, there is much of
good and noble sentiment beating with
in the heart concealed beneath con-
vict's jacket; and in prisons where the
regime is of the more humane order.
and where outside, benefcent influence
es are allowed to creep in, many in
stances might be cited of kindness and
mutual helpfulness among the prison
ers, as we'll as high and noble aspira-
tions which frequently find expression

A JOB.

"What can you do?" said the editor
and proprietor of the Kalamakosh Daily
Kazoo to picturesque-looking young
fellow who had just applied for a job.
"Write leading editorials or scientific
essays, translate from about a dozen
languages, do general reporting and H..
lustratlng, make up forms, set type and
ads, write poetry and solicit advertise
ments," was the modest list of the
young supplicant's glibly and brazenly
announced accomplishments.
"Write shorthand ?"
"Er-yes."
"Well the Hon. Mr.. Barkis, the con-
gressional candidate on the Demopub.
lican ticket from this district will de-
liver speech at a mass meeting tonight,
and if you will report it verbatim for
our morning issue it will be worth S5
to you. That is the only job in sight
at present"
The applicant was broke. The ques-
tion whether to eat or not to eat hinged
upon his successful reporting of that
speech. He didn't know the first rudi-
ments of shorthand, but after his bonn
bastic announcement of his accomplish.
ments he was ashamed to acknowledge
it. So he accepted, and appeared note
book in hand to report the grand speech
of Mr.. Barkis,
Barkis was butcher, who had made
money in glue and oleomargarine. His
speech was somewhat halting and full
of repetitions, antiquities and impos.
sible metaphor, but in the main he
stuck to the good old text of "Protec-
tion to American Industries" and the
delegation of the government control
of the circulation medium to the
national banks.
Our alleged shorthand reporter took
notes, few words here and sentence
there, with his whole mind concentrated
on the absorption of the speech of over
