One Of the most beautiful of all the graces

 is mercy Crittenden, in the Matt Ward

 case, struck sympathetic cord in the hu-

 man heart when he drew picture of Justice,

 Truth and Mercy standing about the Throne

 of Deity. when in his infinite wisdom he

 conceived the thought of mans creation.

 "Make him not" said Justice, ''he will

 wrong his fellows and disgrace the power

 that created him. "Do not make man"

 exclaimed truth, '.he will pervert thy sanctu-

 ary; ;n but Mercy, dropping upon her pended

 knees aud looking up through her tears, said,

 "Makc man; will watch over him and pro

 tect him" Then God made man, in His own

 image, and said, ''thou art the child of Mer- cy." For those who, in the thoughtlesSness of youth, in the heat of passion, Tn retaliia-

 tion for some great wrong or under stress of undue excitement commit crime, the good

 offices of Mercy seem peculiarly requisite,

 and to such cases happily adapted. But,

 when man has arrived at that time of life

 when, if honesty as principle is ever to be- come fixed as q part of lis existence It should be fully developed, deliberately and with no incentive other than greed of gain, betrays an important trust, at the expense not only of his own conscience, if he has any, but of his friends who have trusted and vouched for him; and digraced those who have placed Lim in positions of honor, trust and profit, as well as those who have confer red upon him fayors and honors that money cannot buy nor position maintain: 1t seems waste of sympathy to seek excuses or try to paliate his offences. 'I can understand,h said Gov. Stanford, ''how a good man may kill another, but cannot understand how good man can steal cattle" When a man steals cattle he is not supposed to be under the influence of passion, but to go about 1t deliberately and with calculation. So when a man robs poStotlice with a view to leay

 ing his bondsmen to make good his defaica- ton, it is not the result of any ebulition of passion, tut a cool calculation that he knows will, in some cases at least, involve the ma ior portion of the accumulations of life time with those who have become security for the honest performance of his duty. But, we are told, he has brought back six thousand dollars which, with eight hundred dollars of salary still due him, will nearly settle his accounts and hold his bondsmen harmless. Suppose it does pay every cent of it; it is strange logic to give him credit for it's return, when 1t was taken from him by the officers who brought it and him back, when he was more than two hundred miles away trying to escape out of the country with it. Still, with all these plain facts standing out in such bold relief that there can be no mistake about them, we would not insist on an undue punishment, and if, when the trial comes in October, there can be any cxtenuating circumstances shown, we shall be most happy to recognize them and swift to proclaim them to the world.

young who felt that they ready willing TO
unite for the cause OF Christ or who wanted to pray

held the night before and the chapel of the church had
been foil but had been amply sufficient for the congre
gation but last night the result OF the announcement
was surprising Mr. Moody with his rude elouuence
was not TO be there, Mr. Sankcy, with his sweet
voice. There was 10 be no preaching; there was no
eloquent speaker; prominent clergyman gifted
layman; feature of the meeting that could attract
peope-young men especaily-from curiosity Yet
the response TO tho invitation was so general
that by the time Mr.. John Wananaker ready
TO open the services a crowd OF young men had
assembled such would have filled the large chapel of
the church a dozen times The main body OF the
building was therefore thrown open and the church,
which is very large one, was completely filled by q
gathering of the better class OF young men, all Of
them probably members of Protestant churches and OF
the Young Mems Christian Association The services
consisted entirely OF voluntary prayers and requests Of
individuals for prayers for themselves in behalf Of
their relatives friends.

The celebrated author, Thaekeray,
does not admire the dance, nor even
those who frequent it. He says:


The system of evening parties is a
false and absurd one. Ladies may fire.
quent them professionally with an eye
to q husband, but man is q fool who
takes q wife out Of such assemblies,
having no other meaos of judging Of
the object of his choice. You are not
the same person in your white Grape
and satin slippers rs you are in your
morning dress. A man is not the
same In his tight coat, aud feverish
glazed pumps, and stiff waistcoat as
he is in his green doubIe-breasted
frock, his black ditto, or his woolen-
Jacket. And q man is doubly a fool
who is in the habit OF frequenting
evening parties, unless he is forced
thither in search Of 3 lady he Is at
tached to, or unless he is compelled to
20 for his wife. A man who loves
dancing may be set down to be fool /;
and the fashion Is going out with the
increasing good sense Of the age. Do
not say that he that lives at home, or
freduents clubs in lieu of balls, Is q

brute, and has not a proper respect for
the female sex; on the contrary, he
may respect it most sincerely. He
feels that woman appears to most
advantage, not among those she can
not care about, but among those she
loves. He thinks her beautiful when
she Is at home making tea for her old
father. He believes her to be charm
ing when she is Staging q simple song
at her piano, bat not when she is
sereeching at an evening party. He
thinks by far the most valuable OF her
is in her heart; and . kind, simple
heart, myAdesF, shines In conversation
better than the best Of wit. He ad-
mires her best in her intercourse with
her family and friends, and detests
the miserable, twaddling slipshOd that
he is Obliged to hear from aud utter to
her In the course of ball, and avoids
and despises such meetings.

There is wide difference between

agement of railroad, and there is all
the difference in the world between
arranging system OF railroad freights
and fares in an editorial office or a leg

to the road rate of charges which
will be remunerative to the owners
and satisfactory to patrons. We have
never possessed an abiding faith in
the power of legislative bodies to re-
move the evils and correct the errors
which not unfrequently present them
selves in the business transactions be-
tween owner and patron. Our want
of confidence in the efficiency of the

the court ofinquiry is almost always


composed of persons whom no amount

Some of the newspaper artists are
indulging in adverse criticisms on
TOBY ROsENLHALs great picture
"Elaine." SHOEMAKER, of the Grass
Valley Union, who fathomed the mys-
terry of ocean currents while fiatboat-
ing on the Mississippi river, says the
picture is not true to nature, and PIX
LEY of the Chronicle, who owns
good deal of tide and swamp land, and
has travelled some on the Oakland
ferry boats and the Bush street cars,
endorses the opinion of the Grass Val
ley critic. The point Of objection is
this: According to TENNYsoN the boat
floats with the flood and moves neither
faster nor slower than the body of wa.
ter on which 1t rests, while according
to TOBY and as indicated by the spray
at the Prov and the flowers and things
trailing over the side, the craft is
moving through the water at speed
of about four knots an hour. There
is a seeming contradiction between
the picture and the text, but it will
not be difficult to show tLat the text
and the critics are wrong, and TOBY
right. Among nautical men and the
foremen CT fire companies there Is a
way of doing business called "skull-
ing" Now we have been looking at
that 'dumb old servitor" for the past
three weeks, and we are almost conf
dent he is skulling the boat with a
speed, ease and grace that would ex-
cite the envy of members of crack
boat club. When TOBY was boy he
used to divide his time between ped
ding matches on Kearny street and
bobbing for smelt from Long bridge.
1t is presumable that while engaged in
the latter avocation he frequently saw
the fishing boats coming into Mission
bay, not with, but ahead of the food,
skulled by the italian owners, who oc-
cupied precisely the position in which
he has placed the "dumb old SER
vitor." TOBY naturally concluded
that if the fish boats of Mission Bay
could come in ahead of the tide with
only fisherman standing in the
stern, he could force the Elaine pack
ct up to the castle little ahead of the
flood. Hence the spray at the prov,
and the trailing over the side. The
picture is true to nature. The fault is
with TENNYsoN; he should have writ
ten:


The dead sLtttted by the dumb,


Went up before the flood.

prevailed among the practical busi-
ness men of the world, that these er.
rors are self-eorrective. Whatever
may have been the feeling at the time
Ii is evident that now nearly every
sensible man In the State who has
given the subject due consideration Is
ready to admit that the passage of the
FREEMAN freights and fares bill, in
troduced at the last session of the Leg
islature, would have worked serious
injury to the commercial and agricul-
tural Interests of the State. Yet that
bill, conceived in spite and born of ha-
tired, had many supporters, and had it
reached him would have received the
sanction of the Executive. Had it
become law the railroad system of the
State would have been paraly2ed, Il
proportion of the roads could not have
been operated, and the interests of
farmer and trader, of producer and
consumer. would have been sacrificed
to the mendacity of one who used a
popular prejudice to feed his hatred of
the railroad company, Bills looking
to the same end, introduced by other
parties, though less vindictive, were as
useless and lmpracticable rs that of
FREEMAN. The bill of Senator IRWIN
was an enigmatical hodge-podge-
vague, mystical production -


which while 1t was pretended


to be In the interest OF the
people contained, as we are informed,


clause making it a misdemeanor for
the purchaser of railroad ticket to
transfer it to another person. This
clause, however, was so manifestly
unjust that it was stricken out by the
committee, and the author lost the
point on which he intended to popu-
larize himself with the railroad COM
pany. Another session of the Legis-
lature is near at Hand, and before its
close the farce of fixing railroad
freights and fales will be repeated.
Men who have no more knowledge of
the wants Of the people or the man.
agement of railroads than monkey
of the planetary system, will initiate
the example sf those high old political
economists, FREEMAN and IRWIN, and
we shall have bill after bill that will
accomplish nothing, prove nothing,
show nothing, beyond an ingenious
effort to carry water on both shoul-
ders. By-and-bye, in the far-off fu-
ture, when the Legislature, the State
Prison and the Insane Asylum become
three separate and distinct bodies,
somebody will discover that differences
between railroad corporations and the
people can best be settled by the par
ties directly concerned-that the in
terest of one is the interest of the other
and that mutual cooperation is the
only safe and certain guaranty of indi-
vidual prof and general prosperity.

Very iitlie is known as to the cause
of this disease. The stomach is SUBJ
| ject to spasmodic sensations, and the
mucous membrane is irrtated, result
ing in profuse watery secretion, which
flows from the stomach and mouth in
stream. The attacks are very sud-
den, and liable to come at any time of
day. Medical authors have set 1t
down as rule that those only whose
digestive organs are debilitated, are
subject to these attacks. From expe-
rience and long observation, we are
satisfied that this is a mistake. 1t is
confined to no class of persons; the
healthy, strong man is as subject to it
as the weak and delicate dispeptic.
Neither is it confined to any country
or climate, though there is more Of 1t
In Southern climate, except in those
districts where cistern water is exten-
sively used; and even in those dis
tricts, they are slightly subject to it,
unless they use ice in their drinking
water. But, it is generally the case
that ice is used in the warm season,
when cistern water is used, and where
ice is used constantly in warm wealth
er, they never have it. People may,
and do get sick then, but it is not the
waterbrash, or (phyosis). We have
been as healthy as ordinary persons,
but We do not remember to have
passed Spring in forty years without
suffering more or less with this dis
ease. In the North, the West or the
South, 1t has been the same, unless
when we had ice in all the water we
drank. Our experience, and our OBJ
servation, convinces us that the cause
of this disease will be found to exist in
the water We drink. Animalcules are
known to exist in all water that has
not been subjected to great heat
or extreme cold, either of which de-
stroys them. Our theory Is that in
common with all the species of fishes
in use among men, there are certain
seasons Of each year, that their use
will certainly produce disease. If our
theory be correct, the Spring and
early Simmer is the time when the
animalcule is more or less poisonous
to the human stomach, the very sea-
son we suffer most with the disease.
To prevent any bad effects, boil the
water and let it cool before drinking,
or drop lump of ice in a vessel of
water and let it stand twenty or thirty
minutes; everything will be precipated
to the bottom, and the water will be
pure. A thorough and long expert
ence cOnvinces US that this is correct.

THE HERALD's suggestion in regard
to the selection of Congressman for
this district, seems to meet with al
most universal endorsement among
the Democrats ofthis valley. We are
in receipt of letter from prominent
citizen, residing In the Southern part
of the county, in which we are assured
that Colonel WILSON will receive the
unanimous support almost of all par
ties in that locality. The fact that
Colonel WILSON is a resident of South
ern California, and familiar with the
people aud the country, is recon-
mendati ion which should secure him
the endorsement of the whole commu-
nifty, but when we add to this the ad-
ditional recommendation that he is a
man of sound, practical sense and
broad intelligence, who will fill seat
in Congress with honor to himself and
credit to his constituents, we think
we have said sufficient to satisfy the
people of this district that in Colonel
WILSON they will have a Congress
man of whom they may we'll feel
proud.
