BUSINESS.-There is a good deal of
talking in Philadelphia, among the
brokers about o certain fast young
with millions.
The young man would not work,
and the old man could not bear an
idler, and many were the quarrels be-
tween them.


At last, the old man, quite out of
patience, said:


"Now, Jack, I give you one week
to make up your mind to what busi-
ness you are to go to. No son of mine
shall be lounger, and go to work
you shall. At the end of this week,
if you have made no choice, I will
stop your allowance altogether, and
make you take stool in my office,
and work enough you'll have of it
there.n


Well, Jack promised to look around
and make up his mind.


At the end of the week, sharp and
peremptory, as was his way, the old
broker sung out:


"Well. Jack, times up; have you
made up your mind to make your own
living?n


"Well, father, I've been thinking
of it, and have something in my
mind, but it will require considerable
capital"


"Capital, Jack! capital, my boyW
said the delighted father. "Only try
to make your own living, and I'll buy
you a pational bank or line of
steamers! What is it, Jack? What is
it?'


"Well, father, was thinking if you
would only advance me three or four
hundred thousand dollars, l could in
vest it in Government bonds, and make
my living by cutting off the couponsvn


The old man never talks to Jack any
more about "business.

A shrewish, hypercritical, conceited
Boston belle at Newport has been
making herself unpleasant to her ac-

for drive in his new "dog cart.n
The invitation was accepted, the lady
all ready, and after waiting half an

The San Francisco Post is incensed
over the circumstance that the Gen.
tinela lands were not sold to the "poor
immigrant" The s'poor immigrant"
or any other poor man wanting land
might have done well in purchasing
at this or other land sales in this val
ley, but he was not present at the auc-
tion, and the Post is deprived of its
argument that the Los Angeles Gland
sharks" deceived and swindled the
new corners. The truth is that only q
small proportion of the land sold at
auction in this valley during the past
six months was bid off by new corners.
The greater portion of the land dis
posed of has until lately been held by
parties who refused to sell in small
lots, and it was only through schemes
like Centinela and Artesia that the
tracts could be broken up. When,
however, the land was thrown on the
market, it was for the most part pur-
chased by residents who knew It's
value. Thanks to the Post and other
San Francisco papers, the "poor inn
migrant" is cautious, and frequently
loses a good opportunity through the
excess of his caution. In truth, we
do not know Of an instance where the
purchaser Of land in this valley could
not sell it out for more than it cost.

One of the finest Improvements In

Lafayette Hotel. The whole Of the

half as large as they are now, and, as
the Important has very large stock
on hand, they will not have half room
enough for their goods and in order to
prevent them from being damaged by
dirt and dust, they have decided to
sell all their Spring goods at less than
cost, and others. such as cOttOns, table
linen, ETC., at exact cost. We advise
all to call at the Important and con-

A SAN FRANCISCO paper attempts to
palliate the recently discovered frauds
in the Office of that city's Assessor by
asserting that it has no doubt similar
cases, only in lesser degree, might be
found in almost every county. This
may or may not be true, but should it
be only partially true it proves the
correctness of the assertion recently
made in the HERALD that the greater
portion of the States revenue is paid
by those whose wealth is not large,
while the substance of the rich is
passed lightly by and appears on the
Assessors books as possessing mere
nominal value. Nothing is clearer
than that fair assessment of all the
property in the State would necessi-
tate heavy reduction in the rate of
taxation.

Now that the Investigation into the
causes which led to the loss of the
steamer Ventura has closed, we pre-
sumo there is no further occasion for
the Withholding Of individual or jour-
nalistic opinion as to the circum-
stances which eliminated in that un-
fortunate event. The Nautical Board
Investigated the case, and part of its
decision is the revocation of the license
of Captain FAKE. The Board also
decide that the loss Of the vessel was
the result of negligence or carelessness
on the part Of the Captain, and GEN.
sure his act in running at so high a
rate of speed during the prevalence of
a dense fog, well knowing that he was
90 near the coast. This conclusion is
such as the statements of the passen-
gers foreshadowed, and bears out the
views expressed in the HERALD soon
after the occurrence Of the accident.

The Telegraph wastes time con
ducting an argument with a paper
like the Tyler Reporter, which as
serts that the press represents the
sentiments of aspirants for political
power, and not that of the masses of
the people. If the Reporter pro-

perfectly natural for it to suppose
that Others do, and no such paper
ever yet arrived at position where
Its smiles were to be courted, or its
frowns feared, and hence it happens
that notice of its opinions is waste
time altogether. If the press Of

per, we present the patriotic ad-
dress Of the new Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee,
and to it we invite the careful at
tention of our readers. The ad-
dress ably and clearly sets forth the
causes operating to produce the ap-
parent haste in the action, and they
are perfectly satisfactory. 1t is in
deed all important that sufficient
time be given the people to con-
slider all the momentous interests in
volved in, and to be settled by our
next general election, before they
appear at the ballot box, to act in
a cause, and settle questions of inn
mensc magnitude to the people.
We are in favor of the Convention
ordering the election within thirty,
and certainly not later than sixty
days after adjournment, because
until the question of the final ac-
ceptance or rejection of the new


constitution is determined by the


popular vote, an inevitable feeling


of insecurity and doubt will pervade


the public mind, fatal to that peace


and quiet which only can serve the


best purposes of government in
Texas. The arguments in favor Of
an early election are so many, and
are so plainly evident that to reca-
pitulate them is unnecessary.


What we most want now, is for the
Democratic masses of the State, to
throw aside all chickering's, jealousies
and disappointments and come up
to the work in all seriousness,
determined that the benign policies
of the old time honered party, shall
prevail, and that individual nor Sec
tional prejudices nor partialities
shall be permitted to stand in the
way of that harmony which is all
important to perfect unity,and con-
sequently to perfect success.


The recommendations of the
Chairman relative to careful and
judicious, selections of delegates,
cannot be too strongly urged. In
deed, the whole matter covered by
the acceptance or rejection of the
new Constitution depends largely
upon the action of our Democratic
Convention, then it surely follows
that the men who are to pass upon


a matter as grave as this certainly


is, should be men of breadth, intel

There are some pluoky little girls on


the north side. A circumstance tha,


happened on Wednesday morning shows


that two of them at least have more


than ordinary courage for their years.


They are the children of q well-known


business man who resides on Pierson
street, and their ages are seven and ten
respectively. Their father had left the


house on the morning in question for
his place Of business about 8 s'clock,
leaving the children together, the old
est being in her teens. This latter was
in the rear part of the house somewhere,
when the two young ones went into the
parlor, and came upon a man who was
stealthily walking across the floor to-
wards the mantel, evidently searching
for somthing. The older Of the two at
once, nothing daunted, went up to him
and, taking him by the arm, asked him
what he wanted. The man grufly NUT
tered that hs wanted 'gold," where
upon the child said they had none for
him and told him to leave. He said
then that if he couldn't get gold that he
wanted girl, and. without showing an
inclination to leave, sat down on the
sofa. The smaller child ran into the
rear part Of the house. seiaed broom,
and came in with it psll nell, while the
other child ran to the hallway and
called to her father, pretending he was
in the house. The intruder, fearing he
wsuld be elected rather forcibly, if not
arrested, at once made his way out Of
the house, the children running after
him, and the little one in particular
giving him a parting tap with her
broomstick. The man had found the
front door open, and had gone in to help
himself without any ceremony probably
also knowing that the head Of the fam
ily was absent. Chicago Times
