been on trail of small band of Sioux,
and they had lodged us and beat us until
we determined to have them, and it aps
peared so suddenly, too, that there Vas
no chance for them to escape. Each
man seated himself squarely in his sad

on. There squat each identical Sioux on
his pony just as though we were miles

though they didn't care 4 continental

We have received, says the Examiner,
with the compliments of S. w. Sanderson, a
reply of the Southern Pacific Railroad Co.
to the third and last brief of the respondent"
in the case of the Stockton and Visaia Rail
road Co. VS.. the Common Council of the
City of Stockton. ''The reply in question
contains matter which i. disgrace to the Bar,
and ought to be received as an insult to the
Court. If that tribunal manifests the self
respect which it ought to entertain, "the re-
ply" will be ordered stricken frem the pro-
ceedings in the case. As Mr.. Sanderson once
occupied the position of Chief Justice on the
Supreme Bench, respect for himself ought to
have taught him better; but when we reflect
that, while occupying that high position, he
descended to act as chairman of political
hurrah meeting of the "boys" to make Cor
ham Governor, it is not surprising that lie
should be guilty of any breach of professional
decency or propriety. There was nothing in
tho brief of the Attorney General to prove oke
the gross personalities against the Governor
Of the State contained in his reply The brief
alluson in general terms to the acts of the
dominant party at the conclusion had nothing;
ofpersonalty in them. 1t referred to matters
historical in character; and gave no justifica-
tion for personal rctort If Mr. Sandcrson
thinks the Supreme Court can be influenced
in its decisions by any such poor specimens
of campaign invcctve, which might be ex-
cnscd in partisan newspaper, but which are
unworthy Of any decent member of his high
profession he is mistaken. We shall expect
the Court to administer to him severe but
morited rebuke. The Examiner could have
well added that this man Sanderson, is the
same person who was self convicted of being
the feed attorney of the c. p Il. r. Co.
while yet Judge of the Supreme Court of
the State, as proved by the Sacramento
Union. The Supreme Court must, to pre-
serve its self respect, make this billingsgate
lawyer apologize in open Court for this indg

ticing attorneys in the State

Mr.. Quimby having noticed in the

hives should be examined in the
course of the season, replied thus in
the Rural kelC. Yorker: If the pro-
FOUNDER of. this question fears to in

alton, let him be reassured-there is
not the slightest danger. Neglect has
destroyed more, n thousand fold, than
the mere opening of the hives. My
advice is, ''knOw the condition of your
bees at all times" If this questioner
wants TO keep them with as little at

care an irksOme task, am afraid he
will soon be one who chad bad luck. :"

! Those who expect to be successful
must perseveFe. Eminent success is
never reached except bypatient, earn

boy may rise to the highest station in
life if he has the will and energy to
persevere. In fact, nearly all of our

though everything may look dark,
and seemingly there is no prospect
ahead. Mark it as a rule, that per-
son who has the strength of mind to
earnestly peTsevere when all appears
to go wrong, and when misfortune


and failure threaten, will, sooner or
later, see their efforts crowned with
success. In whatever line of busi-
ness you may he engaged, make it a
point to work with your whole heart
in the matter. Fix your eye on the
desired goal and let nothing turn you
from the way you have entered. Do
you desire fame? You can place your
name high upon the roll of honor if
you are content to work and wait. Do
you desire wealth? Your chance is
Just as good as was hundreds of mil
liOnareS, who now live i'm their mar

happy home, where you can enjoy
life, aside from the hustle and tur-

have it by working for it. Do not sit
idly waiting for something to turn up
thousands have gone down to Obliv-

be, and stick to it until you have a
chance for something better. Go to
work with the hands, and with the
brains also. Do not allow either to
be idle for day, andsuccess shall fol-

often we hear persons sighing, al

idle wishcrs, desire wealth as a means
of gratifying their tastes and desires !;
that they may grOvel in idleness,
scOrn labor of all kinds, and live what
they consider n life of pleasure. For
tunate indeed is it for the public, that
such persons seldom realize their
wishes. Capital should be looked up
on as a means of advancing the arts
and sciences, or of promoting the pub
lie good in the extension of commerce
or the growth of themercantile world,
or still better to assist in supporting
the benevolent institutions of the day,
and thas benefiting our fellow man.
To this end should every true hearted
citizen work. Then go to work and
