Kne7U His Man.

Captain Drake. head of the ordnance
! department at Mare Island, is firm
/ friend of the man before the mast. This
has been proven more than once, with
the result that there is hardly a day
passes that he is not compelled to listen
/ to the tale of woe of some old salt who
/ imagines that he has a grievance.
i 1t was only a few days ago that an
old sailor named Murphy, whose coat
I sleeve was almost covered with service
! stripes and who has for several months
past been quartered on the receiving
ship independence, found his way to
/ Captain brakes office.
"Well, Murphy said Captain Drake
after the old salt had doffed his cap
and saluted, what can 1 do for you?"
Murphy grinned, saluted again, start
! ed to say something, stammered and
commenced twisting his cap around.
Drake got busy around his desk in or
der to give the old fellow a chance to
recover himself, and then after a short
silence picked uD a sheet of official
paper and began writing. In the mean
time Murphy moved uneasily from one
foot to another, but uttered never.
word. 1t was only when Captain Drake,
after writing rapidly for a few mo-
ments. had blotted and carefully folded
the sheet upon which he had been
writing and handed it to the old tar
that the latter spoke. Then he simply
said. "Thanky. SIR placed the letter
in his cap, saluted and walked out.
AS he left a gunner came in. Drake
laughed and said, "Old Murphy has
been at sea so long that when he gets
shore duty he gets 'homesick.' l just
gave him a letter suggesting that he
be sent to sea again. The old rascal

he came in here. This makes about the

When Diamonds Burn.

Ladies' to whom their jewels are
precious should regard their treasures
with greater regard to-day" says the
ST. James Gazette of March %, for
this is the anniversary of the discovery
that diamond is but carbon like unto
charcoal and blacklead, and at the
proper temperature friable as either.
Tt was in the Academy del Cimento at
Florence that Faraday and Sir Hum
phrey Davy made the experiment,
using the great burnt. g-glass of the
Duke of Tuscany for the purpose. A
glass globe was exhausted of air and
filled with pure oxygen. The diamond
was supported in the center of this
globe by a rod of platinum. to the top
of which cradle or cup was fixed, to
allow a free circulation of the gas
about the diamond. The burning
glass consisted of two double convex
lenses, each distant from the other
about 8 n feet. The heat from the
sun was concentrated upon the dia-
mond for three-quarters of an hour.
When, however, an obstruction of the
suns rays was removed, Davy OBJ
served the diamond to burn. 1t glowed
brilliantly with a scarlet light, inclin-
ing to purple, and when placed in the
dark. continued to burn for four min
utes. The flame having been ex-
tinguished, the experiment was twice
repeated, at the end of which the dia-
mond was entirely consumed, and so
we had the knowledge, Obtained at
price, that the gem is pure carbon"

EVERYBODY in the United States who takes an in

IL desires above all things to Grover Cleveland
reelected to the Presidency He also knows that the
desire Of the Eagle will be gratfed. 1t is very
easy the American people have much of Grover
and they have had a great deal of him already Such
being the case may be interesting to those who like to
watch the of politics to note that the Eagle de-
prved of all hopes of its first choice aside with an
easy fippancy and nomnates its second choice man
whom it describes "the editor of the New York
Journal" and names Arthur Brisbane.
In advocating the claims of its second best candidate
the Eagle says The justice of newspaper men every

Delayed Justice.


The sentencing Of Charles Cackley to
ten years Imprisonment by an Iowa
court thirty-six years after he had

ing lived an upright, exemplary life
in the interval, is a pathetic example

who knew nothing of his crime and
of the Indictment hanging over him.
His identity was discovered through
an application for a pension, from
which circumstance it is assumed that
he had rendered patriotic service. He
is now an old man, and the court,
doubtless in recognition of his age, was
merciful and gave him a comparatively
light sentence. The law must be vim
dicated, no matter how strong may be
the appeal to ones sympathies; but
many who read the narrative will re-
a fugitive from justice to the end of
his life. The incident shows, at any
rate, that there is latent virtue some
times in persons guilty of grave crimes.
The better nature of the Iowa muir
derer seems to have asserted itself for
thirty-six years, but such a considera-
tion could not, in the stern judgment
Of the law, atone for the grave crime
committed in his early manhood.

WE believe it is the experience of our business
w community that Chinese exclusion laws should
discriminate between the cooie laborer and the
Chinese merchant. This discrimination provided in
treaty with China which expires within year.
The real strength of cooe exclusion is in the opinions

weakness is in the of the for political

to prejudice instead of The former class know
how much Chinese trade depends upon the Chinese
merchants. They supplement white merchants and
do compete with them If we exclude Chinese mer-
chants then trade with their country must depend
entirely upon sending and establishing American

reciprocal right exclude American merchants In such
trade falls at once.
is necessary to put attention into this view OF
the case inasmuch as Senator Patterson of Colorado
with zeal born entirely of political ambition striving
include Chinese merchants in the provisions of the
cusion law. Such policy does not affect his State, but
does directly and vitay affect California. The first
section of the existing exclusion has the clause SO
far the inconsistent with treaty obllga-
tons The treaty obliges to admit merchants upon

strike that clause of the and if this is done

far and Senator Patterson is already the line.

TALK OF THE TOWN
AND 19Rfe>S O NIL
TINES ~
Their Little Arcady.

Way up on Telegraph Hill, just
where the beginnings of Chestnut
street waver along the verge OF the
quarry, there is a little old cottage Oh
weather beaten visage and cracked
roof which stands there poised in mid
air over the bay beneath mere pnan-
| tom shade of it's departed glory. In
that crazy old house there has lived
for the last thirty-ive years little
old Frenchman and his good woman.
They moved in there in the days When
some of the ''nobs'' of the city de-
lighted to honor Telegraph Hill with
their presence, and now when all OF
the old houses are becoming swarming
rookeries and the streets are the prov
ince of an army Of tiny, sun-browned
Italians, old NJ. Cazat and neat little
Nine. Cazat are left stranded upon this
inhospitabIe resf like some gallant
ships of the roaring forties, speared
through on desolate rock.
Behind the house there is little
garden, all laid out in tiny walks
hedged with abalone shells. There,
with the hollies and the fiaring nastur-
tiums, the sweet mignonette and the
marigolds, is one solitary orange tree,
strange exile on this crag OF bleak
winds and fogs. Beneath the strag-
Cling foliage M. Cazat has long ago
built him little arbor, very small,
very cozy, just a little lattice work
with some Roman ivy trailing over 1t
in vagrant festoons and a rustic table
propped up on grapevine supports set
nicely in the middle Of the bower.
Every afternoon in these long spring
days and in the later summer when
the wind does not bite and the fog
does not lift UP its gray arms from
the bay below, NJ. and Nine. Cazat be-
take themselves to their little vine
clad retreat, he with his Figaro or
Monde Illustre, she with her dainty en-
broidery work or knitting, there to\ sit
the whole drowsy afternoon through,
as far away from the great roaring
world below and around them as ever
a Pyramis and Thisbe in old Already.
Tout le monde may go on an on la

smile as he waves his pipestem over
to where the murky cloud from the
city smudges the blue sky through the
interstices in the bower, but Nine

touch their drum with indescribaole
skill. They have innumeraole turns
of the hand and tricks of style Wnlch
one cannot help but admire. Ihat the
rhythm can very well depict of itself
many things is self-evident. The dill
ference between joy and sorrow, be-
tween the jubiIance of victory and the
depression of defeat is too obvious
thing that few would fail to recognize
it. The drum is not only an tnstru-
ment of music, but the great instru-
ment of joy and social intercourse
among uncivilized races, inasmuch as
it is the constant accompaniment or
the dance. We are not half such per-
sistent dancers as our unsophisticated
brethren. While we limit our revelS
to the small hours of the night once
or twice a month, it may be, they are
always at it-at morning, at midnight,
in the afternoon or evening, it matters
not. Wherever a shady spot presents
itself or a friendly company is assem-
bled this offers a fair opportunity for
a dance, and off they go dancing
where we should only indulge in lit
tie conversation. To accompany the
dance, as we said, and to mark the
measure of the feet, the drum is most
useful, and, indeed, indispensable.
With it's strong accented rhythm it
keeps all the dancers right and is as
exhilarating and inspiring to them as
the strains of the violin and orchestra
to ourselves.

RADIUM ON THE BRAIN.

~ late some of the most influential journals in
Great Britain have been undertaking exposure
~ of the to which the exercise of municipal
control of public utilities has been carried by of the
cities of the kingdom The appears,
merous and COSTLY that municipal trading, the
British call it, is evidently becoming serious mat
taxpayers.
recent review of of the results of the move
nent toward municipal control says the advocates of the
system wish the city government of London to
upon the construction and operation of miles of
municipal tramways. 1t then adds: "On forty
miles, on one of the richest traffic in the world the
Council lost E225o last year. What cheerful result
might we expect from tAe working of thousand! No
