WANTS TO SELL.-Anybody wishing to to speculate in real estate can buy house in New York cheap It is situated between two churches that have clocks; and that's the reason Mir. Johnson wants to sell it. One of these is invariably second or two behind the other; consequently when John son stops out until one o'clock, as he often does, Mrs. J. says to him, as each of the clocks strike one

 "There A nice time for married man to come home-two o'clock ]"

 Johnson, like the gay old sport that he is, thought he might as well stay out until two, nasmuch as he got the blame for it. So he stayed, and Mrs. Johnson she stayed two she stayed up until he got in, and made him listen as the clocks struck four. Then she threatened to go to her mother or get her ma 10 come and live with her, as it was impossi- ble to live all alone in the house. This kind of frightened the old fellow, so he came in the next night just little before twelve o'clock, and as those clocks commenced a duet at twelve and jingled out twenty four strokes, he looked at his wife with smile, as if to say:

 'Now I've got your'

 She began to cry, and said he stayed out until ''all hours.n Thus it is that Johnson is grieved and wishes to dispose of his pro perty.

A TEXAS DUEL.-Manning and Molett, rival physicians in Giddings, Texas, quarrel ed as most rival physicians do. They agreed to settle their difficulty with knives in a qui- ct place in the woods just out of town There were no seconds or spectators, and each of the physicians took along lint and bandages to dress his wounds. The accounts of the fight are alike, and are as follows {: The weapons were long bowie-kniyes. They stripped to the waist, and at the first on slaught got such firm hold of each other that the weapons could not be used. After a long struggle they separated and stood warily watching for q chance. As they at length rushed together, Manning received slight stab in the neck, and Molett a more serious cut across the arm. They stopped long enough for each to dress his wound, and then faced for another round. With great caution and many feints and dodges they spent what they say seemed like half an hour without coming together. Finally Molett caught Manning's head under his arm, and while for an instant he was able to hold him in that position, stabbed him deep ly twice in the breast but, Manning, with his arm free, was able at the same time to plunge his knife in Molctt's back. These serious stabs ended the fight Molett was able to reach his surgical appliances and at tended to his wound Manning tainted and fell insenS;ble and bleeding. After attend ing to his own hurt, Molett says he was about to go away and leave his adversary to bleed to death, but his better nature domi- mated, and with considerable effort he saved Manning's life. Assistance soon came and they were taken to their homes, where they will be confined long time by their lnju- ries.- New York Sun.

Who's SEEN MY BABY.-A ball was given at CamptonvilIe, Tuba county, Cal, on New Years eve, which was attended by certain lady who resides some distance from that place. She had a baby that could not be left at home. Arriving at Camptonville early in the evening with her baby, she put up at the Globe Hotel, kept by one Jones She told Jones she was desirous of attending the ball if she could find some one who would take care of her baby Jones being an accommodating fellow. proposed that he would father" the 'youngun" ad interim. The lady accepted the offer with joy, and putting the baby to sleep, laid it down gen tly on Jones' bed, and then went to the ball. Up to midnight Jones made frequnt visits to the room, to attend to the wants of his pre- cious charge. From that hour the babe, so far as Jones or its mother were concerned, was left alone, for Jones fell to sleep. It happened, however, that a stage driver was asleep in room nearly opposite to the one occupied by the babe. About o'clock A. M., says the North San Juan Times, the baby began to cry feartully, and to appease it the stage driver took 1t to his own bed and kept

 it quiet the remainder of the night, He was up and off by daybreak, before the mother had returned from the ball and be- fore any one was stirring in the house. leav- ing the babe fast asleep in his own bed. An hour later the ball broke up and the mother returned to the hotel She went straight to Jones' room to see her babe. Lo! and be- hold it wasn't there-neither was Jones. Soon the whole house was in an uproar, and search was made for the missing babe, but all in vain. In the meantime the whole town was startled by the information that a child had been stolen and carried away. Finally it was remembered that the stage driver Lad slept in the house that night, and that possibly he might know something about the missing child. He was telegraph ed to on the subject, to Downieville, and in the course of few minutes reply was re- received from him. which read as follows: Frank Rampp;n: You will find the child in my bed at the hotel" On the reception of the telegram the mother rushed frantically to the stage drivers room and found her precious babe lying in his bed, fast asleep Nearly everybody in Camptonville got drunk that day rejoicing over the event.

The fact that gentleman OF this city says

candidate for Governor. The conclu-
sion is that among the delegates are
friends Of all the candidates, but ma
jorities for none. The striking feature
Of the election is the unusually large
vote polled and the great interest
manifested. This is q straw which
indicates how San Francisco will vote
at Che election. The Examiner &C.
cepts the primary vote as evidence
that the city will go largely Demo
cratic in September. The Indepen-
dent and Republican papers are silent
on this point, and their silence implies
that they are both astonished and dis
satisfied at the number Of Democrats

Democrats nominate good men there

The trial of the "Elaine" stealers,
just terminated in San Francisco, de-
veloped nothing as to the object of the
robbers beyond a desire on their part
to make money by the theft. 1t was
hardly to be expected that the real
bottom of the transaction would be
reached in the trial, for the reason
that if the thing had any real bottom
the instruments used were not aware
of the purpose of those who induced
them to become the principals in a
transaction which did more to spread
the fame of the creator of "Elaine"
than could have been done by life
time at the easel. Ever since the re-
covery of the picture we have had our
opinion as to the real purpose of the
theft. Of the four men who carried
out the robbery, one at least was in
earnest, and stole the painting with
the sole and only view of making
money by the theft-the reward that
would be offered for it's delivery and
no questions asked. This one of the
party was the man who went in at the
window, ascended to the gallery and
cut the picture from it's frame. OF the
three who watched outside there is the
faintest shadow Of suspicion that they
were working for the reward paid by
those whose purpose it was to add to
TOBY RosENTHAL's fame. The easy,
careless manner in which the noted
detective worked up the case and cap
tured first the culprits and then the
picture is q curious feature in the
chain of events. If some, at least, of
the parties who stole "Elaine" were
not "put up" to it by those who
wished to create furore over ToBY's
''last and greatest" we have underes-
timated the inventive genius of q
shrewd detective.

The moral bar to the commission of
crime is nothing like SO strong in some
natures as the fear of the punishment
inflicted by the law. The cravings of
conscience are less dreaded than the
verdict of jury. "A sense Of justice
will sometimes stay hand, but the
penalty designated by the code is the
more powerful argument against strik-
ing the blow. Great criminal lawyers
give these opinions as the result Of
lifetime study. Where there is no
punishment save the consciousness Of
wrong-doing, crime and lawlessness
are more common and human life less
valuable than where the laws are
rigid and conviction and punishment
tread close on the heels of the offence.
These aphorisms are intended as in
troductory to few remarks on the
apparent laxity of the law in the con-
viction of evil-doers and the lightness
of the penalty imposed on them Of late
years in California. Under the quib-
bles Of the law many offenders escape
the punishment they justly merit, and
through a maudlin sentimentality un-
worthy Of an intelligent community
light penalties are imposed. In San
Francisco they say political influences
enable offenders to escape, and there
they do not hesitate to charge that
just before election, in the courts Of
judges desiring to retain their seats,
fines and penalties grow light in pro-
portion to the number of votes con-
trolled by the prisoner at the bar. We
trust there is no ground for these
charges in San Francisco or elsewhere.
The law must be enforced and crime
punished. The safety of the lives and
property Of all depend on this. We
cannot maintain the peace by permit
ting law-breakers to escape with q
nominal fine. Let justice be dealt out
with an impartial hand.
