It ia't so mach tue micner in which yon do it, as the time yoa select for it. .Don't worry eo much about yoar manner, if yon are dead certain you have struck the rifcht time. Don't depend 83 much upon yonr fasciratin? ways as upon tha man s receptive mood. Never ask a favor of a Eta who ia on the point of answering his mail with a match. Don't talk your Dakota land scheme to a hungry xnaa. Never try to borrow of a man who has jn3t ra:eted the last car ana has to walk home. Don't try to tell tickets for the fair and icacreem festival to the man whojta despondent with some new kind of dyspepsia. Don't reed your petition to him while he is being shaved. Don't try to eiplaiu the nature of the securities yoa otler by talking to hira through the tranton of tne lalh-room while he is taking a tub. Don't describe your recommendations, qualifications and indorsements for the place while he 13 running for the ferry, and you are vainly trying to keep near him. Don't knock at his door after he has gone to bed and tell him not to get up, you'll jast talk through the keyhole. Don't approach a man at these times, and "You didn't suppose anybody ever did aprrca'-h a men on matten of basin 033 under such circumstances?" Oh, foolish boy, you hare much to laarn ; all these thirds are done by various cUsse? of foola every day ! Dja't you be one of them. K BAD CORRECT JTAIUTS. "For ten years past," said the new boarder, "my habits have been regular as clockwork. I rose on the stroke of six; half an tocr later I sat down to breakfast; at seven I was at work, dined at twelve, ate supper at six, and was in bed at 0:30, ate only hearty food, and hadn't a tick day in all that time." "Dear me," said the deacon, in sympathetic tones, 4,and what were you in for?'' And in the awful silence that followed you could hear the hash prate lt3 teeth. nr UEjiT err directly. The clock on the mantel tolled 1 a. m, and a little past, and still the knight lingered, trying to think of something to tay, although it was painfully evident that the baron's daughter was just toa aleepy fcr anything. '1 am afraid," he said at last, "that I am like an augur." "Wherefore, Sir Knieht?" she asked, yawning with that highbred courtesy appertaining to the upper classes. "Becaueel bore you," he said, smiling nroudlv at hia rieht pond wrr. "Ah, do," bhe said; "you remind me o! an old flint-lock musket." "Spoken like a soldier's daughter," quoth he, "and why?" "Takes you eo long to gooff," she said, kindly. At 1:15 a. in. the portcullis fell with a clan?, the draw-bridge was raised, and the castle slept. Away in the star-lit distance the good knight tramped wearily in tha wake of the last car, which had sailed two hours ago, and bitterly reproached himsel for cot thinking to tell the baaeaty ta ron'a daughter that her joke was" too aw fully premature, because muskets weren'tpoiog to be invented for nearly one hundred years. T5DER THE WIXTRY MOOS. "The moon is waning," Elfrida said, sitting a little closer to Ethelred to keep off the malaria. "Yes," paid old Sir Marmalade, her Bire, who crossed the piazza at that moment, "and the swain ia mooning. Uaw, Haw, haw!" And he wa3 gone. Ethelred shuddered, and drew Elfrida to his Bide until she had to breathe in her mind. "Thank Heaven," he said, earnestly, "that the moon is not waiing. I tremble to think what a joke it might have suggested to him." WISTES FASHIONS. Oh, no, dear, there will be no change in the winter fashions this year. Tne woman who steps on that part cf the sidewalk where bad boys have made a sliding-pond will be down in a heap and up a?aia with a faint little shriek before anybody knows anything about it, while the man will fall the f nil length of the whole blocicas usual, waving both hands in the air, kicking both feet, plunging, throwing hat and umbrella Into space, howling at every jamo, until, breathless and exhausted, he caroms on an aah-barrel at the end of the run, and rings down the curtain by rolling down stairs Into a barber shop. No difference at all, dear; everything same as last year. WATERED HIS TALK. "Don't I ?et a rebate on tMs sort of thing?" asked the trout, aa it took a little flyer with tbe hook. "Not any," replied the honest fisherman, making another cast. "I've got a corner on this pool, you know." "Ah!" said the dying Csh, "I think I catch on." And, indeed, he did, once too often. A CiOOD EISE SHOT. "What Is the Btanding army of the United Bta'ee?" asked the teacher. "It are tie men," replied the smart bad hoy who only came in last term, "who hang on to the straps la the street cars." And the principal eat up that night until the moon went down, trying to decide whether he should mark that boy zero, minus, and lick him, or ten, plus, and give him a toy pistol. TO "CESTLE AKSIK." Yep, dear, we know tbe mills of the podi grind slowly, bat they cia trot r,gh: around a barber when we are trying to ge; a shave and the last car. You could com prebend this awful truth more easily Annie, if you were that monster man. A CHAPTER 05 TRAMPS. Tramp, after all, are very much liks tramps. There Is a certain bond that tie ns ail together. True, he will not work, and when we are asked to take of our own flock and of our own herd to dress for the wayaring man that is come unto us, we say

with the apostle, "That, if any would not work neither should he eat." And yet I do not blame him vary sorely for not deBiring to work. I do not work because;! love to toil, and labor, and perspire, and ink my thumb. I work because I have to. I work because the ground was crtrsd for rxy family's sake, so that thorns and thistles grew np with the pipyras plant, aad ink acd tears came in together; and at my great grandfather, since deceased, wji3 a tramp, and went oat of Eden to sleep under tbe trees and eat his bread in the sweat of his face, even eo hare the restot tae family been "strangers and sojourners, aj wre all our father; our days on the earth areas a shadow, and ther is none 8 biding," "for here have we no continuing city, but we reek o:,e to come." As "one s;ar dirür-rtth from another in glory," deirly beloved, and as "all llfsa Is nottheeim flesh," so one tramp is not as all other trait pa. fomestimes the tramp singeth, and if she be a woman tramp, eo long aa thy pocktbook 1 astet h Bhe will not open her month save for a thousand dollars a nl?hjj carriage, aad a wagon load of bouquets. Doth ine work for that money? Nay, verily; sbe only worketh her audience for it, even aa her sister, sitting un3er the wsy6ide hedge to rest, worketh the cottayes along the road for "broken yittels." I have seen the man tramp come all the way from England, and tramp up and down tie iron highways of this land th,t floweth with fame and money, repeating at our charitable doors old lectures that were frayed at the edges, or ever they left the chores of Eritain, talking at the rate of two dollars a minute. Call ye that "work," ye that lift up the hands against the unshaven tramp who seeketh only to talk yoa cut of a cold breakfast? Verily, my kind fmiid?, 1 have tramped on the lecture lay myself, and I know whereof I affirm, that iä not "work," it is fun. Anybody can do it. Yep, I have known tramps who wandered about this land from Hoboken, New Jmey, to Tombstone, Arizona, seeking for an easy pulpit in a rich church, with an asistant pastor to do all the work. I have listened to the noise of tramps who wandered up and down for meat, crying in the ears of the people, "On, that I had in the wilderness, which is called Corgres, a lodging-place of wayfaring men, that I miht rest from my labor all the day 8 of my l?fs, and wax fat ahi kick." And when he goeth to Congress and draiveth hU fat Ealary, and commandeth his secretary to write him a epeech on the tariff bill or tbe Mornmn question, doeth he any "work?" Uh, my dear friend?, the country is fall of tramp, who have three charjges of raiment, like

Berry Wall, and fare sumptuously every .i . . 1 . - - - - , . . . uoj, mey iuu tot, oeiiaer ao iaey spin, but they rake in the shekels and tiourlsa ts magnificently as a gren biy tree. And there be few of uf, indeed, who love to work, and who would work three hundred and seventeen days io the year, unless W9 were driven by dire necessity. Robert J. Bcrpitte. LAMAR'S NOMINATION, fN Senator Stewart' iew of the Case la the Judiciary Committee. New York, January 9. The Times this mornirg publishes a three-coin oia letter from Seiator Stewart, of Nevada, to a constituent on the subject of ti e conCrmati oa cfilr. Lamar. Mr. Stewart reviews at length the record of Mr. La-nar since the close of tbe war, and sayi: "Ikaowofnj other man wha bore arms against the United States in the late war wi3 has so unreservedly accepted tbe verdict cf arm?, and so unequivocal v and continuously maintained the validity of the new Amendments to the Conatitu ion as Mr. Limar. If he is disqualified to 11 the office of Jastice of the buprtme Court by reason of his participating In the late war, no person who bore arms against the tbe United S ates Cia eve become eligible to that olilce." The Nevada Senalor ia clßting says: "The public press has so framed the issie that the rejection of Mr. Lamar will ;;e construed, both in the North and in tae South, as a declaration that hearty part.cipation in the war disqualifies him and all others occupying the same t03itioa for a place on the Supreme Bench. It is unreasonable to expect that the people of eleven States of the Union shall, during all the present generation, be excluded irom participation in the judicial determinations of tbe highest court in the United 8:ates. I appeal to the Representatives of tbe irf at Republican States of tbe North acd West cot to lend their intlcencs to carcfEt a union between New York and t',e solid South. Why should the South aad tbe Weat separate on questions invo!veirg their material interes's when those 'nterests are identical? Why should the South be compelled to do the bidding of a eingte city of the North, and her people be subject to the policies adverse to her most vital interests, under the supposed necessity of resisting the prescriptive policy of the Kpublican party when the party h3 never had auch a policy, but on the contrary, has been, now is, and must continue to be the friend of the South, always ready and willing to aid in her development and advance her prosperity? Unless a very diferent case can be presented against Mr. Lamar from anything which has come under my observation, I sball deem it my duty to vote for his confirmation and advise others Republican Senators to do the same. Sincerely yours. William M. Stewart." In an interview with a Tribune reporter, Senator Sawyer refused to state decidedly how he would vote, but said he considered Mr. Lamar better qualified for the place than any other man In the South. Senator Jonee, of Nevada, was alas Interviewed, but he declined to indicate how he would vote. Senator Stockbridge told a Tribune reporter that be would vote against the confirmation of Mr. Lamar. Washikotok, January 9 The Senate Judiciary Committee further considered, this morning, the nomination of Mr. Lamar to be the Aseociate Justice of the 8npreme Court, but reached no action. The time was chiefly consumed by Senator Evarta in opposition to confirmation. lie was rather aharply questioned by Democratic Senators and retorted in kind. All the members of the committee were present, except Senators Wilson, of Iowa, and Vest, who are paired. It ia in contemplation, since the resignation of Secretary Lsniar, to proceed with tbe sases of Messrs. Vilas end Dickinson, without respect to that of Secretary Lamar, though this course has not been determined upon. All the members of the committee having expressed themselves on the Lamar case in committee, no doubt is entertained that there will be a majority and minority report with division upon party lines, the majority report, of cours. being adverse. pyg Ammi Daldwln Dead. Cikcisnati, January 5. Mr. Ammi Baldwin, late cashier of the Fidelity National Bank, died suddenly at 3 o'clock this morning at his residence on Walnut Hill:?. Mr. Baldwin was indicted with the other officers of the Eidelity Bank, but for some reason h!a bond was placed at $10,000 and he was able to secure bondsmen and has cot been in jail. In the absence of specific information as to the cause of his death, the theory of suicide is common among down town people who are familiar with the family, and who know how much mental trouble the man has undergone within the past ten years. Tbe tbeoryof suicide so prevalent down town has no support whatever from the facta of Mr. Baldwin's death. He died from the exec's of a stroke of paraJysie. A year ago he had a slight attack and was obliged to take a rest for some time. On Tuesday night he retired in his usual health, but yester lay morning hia family found him lying unconscious. All efiorta to rouse him tailed. His physicians pronounced it a case of parfly.1; Jie never "ged consciousness, but died early this morning. Mr. Bald win was fifty-eight years old,

NEW YORK BANK SENSATION.

Comptroller Trenholm Assert- that the Fourth National Is All lil-Ut. New York. January 10. Toe retirement of O. D. Baldwin from the Presidency of the Fourth National Bank occasions some surprise. This is the bank that cashed Jay Gould's check for four millions, aahl to be the largest ever cashed in this coaatry. Comptroller Trenholm, ia an interview with a reporter la&t night, said: "It is a matter of pub'fc notoriety that at the recent txsminatlon in December, tha reserve fund of the Fourth National w3 found to be blow the minimum allowed Bylaw. This fact waa widely published in the regular bank ettttetueaT, bat occtsioned no rerrtlkrlf. f.:r I fiftpn rir-.H hnlf th hanlra of : the country in the same condition. The state cf aGairs is analoouj to a thoroughly tolvent depositor who happens to overdraw his account. The banks ere noticed that the reserve must be made good within thirty days, aad tho rüoney is usually ia a vault in a musa shorter time. This bank is one of the most solid institutions in the metropolis, and I was so confident that the mintmum reserve would be at once re-established that no notice was served. The reserve was made good almost immediately. There is absolutely to truth in the story that the reports of loans, discounts and reserve have not been properly made. So far as I know there is not a criticism to be made on the business methods pursued by the officersof the bank or upon its sound financial condition," Mr. Baldwin's narie has been prominently mentioned in connectioa with the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Assistant Treasurer Canda. Vice-President Bliss publishes a card in which he says: "A moit rigid examination of ihe bank has recently been completed, proving that never since its organization has it been in a stronger position than it now is, and this excellent ehowin? of the Institution ia oiog in a large m9a9ure to the ability and devote I services of Mr. Baldwin. Tbe -directors regret that he Is obliged to withdraw under existing circumstances, with impaired health, and he will, I am confident, have the personal sympathy of all who know him. I regret the indicnti0D, but do not hesitate to say that I still have the most Implicit confidence in his integrity." A rumor wts afloat la9t niht that Mr. Baidih had gone to Bermuda, but this was soon proven untrue, as he was called on yesterday by a maj irity of the directors cf the bank, who deiirrd to sssare him of their continued confidence and rappect. GOUDY'S VltSW. He Tliiiks all .lrlicl-- Published in Newspapers Should be Labeled. Chicago, January U. Ths Andrew Jackson League, anew political organization, which was recently formed in this city, gaveisfirtt public meeting . to-night at Central Music Hall, which was well filsd when the evenings txercis'S began. A cumber cf epeeche'a and musical selections were given before tbe chief event of the evening, the Epeech of Hon. W. C. Goudy, who has lone been ona of the most proaairent lawyers cf Cti'j;o and a great power in Illinois politics, occurred. Air. ooudy rpoke on the supremacy cf the law, but most of hi3 rt maris wero devoted to the press. Alter showing that res'raint and regulation isapnlied to nearly eery person and pursuit in life, Mr. Gouay said : "But there is on6 notable exception. The creates: poner ia civilized society to day ia that of the press, and it is practirally urrestraiced and free from r gulation by law. This fore makes and unmakes Presidents, Governors, Senators, Representatives in Congress, Legislatures, Judges and all officers In our complex system of government. It iä superior to the executive, legislative and judicial authorities, became it creates and destroys them. By the same means it enacts, and enforces or defeate Jaws. Private reputation, private property depends upon this immeasurable force. Ia short, the influence of the daily and weekly newspapers and monthly periodicals is omnipotent and omnipresent. "This power, however, is as potent for good 8s evil. Who exercises this immense power? Tbe press, the newspapers. Bat that is wholly Impersonal, and therein lies the danger. The writer may be Governor Hawley, who represents his State in the United States Senate, or the boy inst ont of college, earning his $10 per week. There icay tven be apparent editorial article?, bu. ia fact written to further some corrupt scberre, for which $1 a line is paid." As a remedy for these alleged evils, Mr. Goudy advised the enactment of a statute which would require that the name of the writer of every article, be it editorial, communicatiou or news, be given with it. General Sea well Dead. San Francisco, January 9, General Washington Seawelldied at lis apartments at the Berkshire Hotel early this morning. His disease was enlareemeat of the liver, which, combined with a weight of years, caustd his death. He leaves only two relatives, bis Bons Bullitt and J. M. Ssawell, who will inherit the bulk of his large fortune. He was born in Virginia in 1802, graduated from West Point ia 1823, and entered active service as a Brevet Sscond Lieutenant in the Seventh Infantry, being made full Second Lieutenant shortly afterward. Frtm to ls34. he was disbursing agent of Indian affairs, from which post he was transferred to the position of AdjutantGeneral and aide de camp on General Arbuckle's staff. From this on he was actively employed in Indian wars, where he was distinguished for braverv, and was promoted to be Captain in the E ghth Infantry. In 1842 General Worth recommended him for Brevet of Major, aud in 1 43 ureed his appointment to command of the corps of cadets at West Point. In 1S49 General Seawell was with tbe Second Infantry at Monterey. Cal., and was consequently one of the California pioneers. At tbe breaking out of the war of the rebellion, General Seawell hastened to apply for active duty, and had charge of a regiment in 1MJ1 and 18(J2. He was retired in R-C2. Though on the retired list,' he did not entirely give up the service until March 18C0, when he was fully retired, having served forty-six years and eight months in the army. At the time of his death he was the second oldest general in the retired list. General Seawell baa lived on the Pacific coast since 1SC4, and has been for the greater part of that time a resident of Sonoma County, where he owts one of the largest ranches in the State. Fora k er Inaugurated, C0LCMEU8, January 9. The weather was grand for the icanguration of Governor Foraker to-day. There was the largest crowd in attendance at any similar occasion 6ince the inauguration of William Allen as Governor. The parade which tool place immediately after tha formal exerelf es was composed of over sixty companies cf military, and as many more organizations in the form of political clubs and civic societies. All tha important towns of the State were represented. The oatk of office was administered to the Governor-elect by Chief Justice Owen of the Supreme Court. The Governor wa3 enthusiastically received. His Inaugural romarks gave an outline of the inaguration of thefirstGovernorof Ohio, and contrasted it with the exercises of to-day, drawing some very striking iessoDs and setting forth the advance which had been made since the adoption of the ordinance of 1787. Much cf hia address additional waa prophetic of the one hundred years to came. Funeral of MS. IS, Allen. Mrycu, January 9. Special. The funeral of B. B, Allen, one of the most honored citizens of Muncle, occurred yesterday. The religious services were held at the

Royal Rink and conducted by the Rev. Spiher, pastorof the church of God, of which Mr. Allen was a member, as he also was cf the Independent Order of Red Men, and the Grand Army. The two latter had charge jointly of the funeral ceremonies, and they formed the largest f aneral procession that ever passed through the streets. Mr. Alien in politics was a Jstanch Democrat, a man of integrity, and beloved by all. as wa3 manifested by the large attendance at his lateral. IIa 1 1 road Taxation, Communicated. Acece, Ind., January 3. I was pleased to resd your editorial article la a recent Issue ol the Sentinal, and I hope the press generally of the State will take no the subject, so the law-makers will see the necessity of a change ia the law ia regard

10 ine taxation ot railroad properties. A short time ago I had occasion to invöU gate this matter, and I found no clasa 0 property that paid so Utile tax in nroDor tion to the value as the railroads fa our State. I found also that no other clas3 was asseesed with so little uniformity and equality, and that thereby our law-making power had permitted the constitutional provisions on that subject to be violated or ignored. It can be readily demonstrated that some wealthy rail roads are appraised at as low as 14 per cent of their valae, while the poorer ones are appraised at from 40 to 50 percent, of their value. It can alsi ba shown that although real estate generally is appraised at oniy one third its markst value, our farmers pay two dollars to ev ery one paid by the most pow2rfnl eorpi rations in the way of taxes. The res trouble is in our law, requireing certain btate cracers to appraise the rail way?, some 01 which they have never seen . rrob ably not heard cf, and by officers who may not know anything about the value of such enterprises or the appliances whereby mey are operated, uy tae lay they are not even compelled to appraise uooa actual view, nor have furnished to them. the first item of information on wbieo. to base any value whatever. By our presat statutes the railways are not required to furnish for the information of the apprais ers a wora as to tneir prouta, their groce tsrniEgs ccr tne net income. I submit that the only true criterion by which a value can be ascertained, or as to a moneyed business or enterprise, is that vi us money producing power, uther things have their values established nDon different bases, and for other reasons, but business matters are estimated by the money they yield. Take a note, bond cr mortgage; 11 ltyieJdsyearly fCO, and money is wt rth (J ptr cent interest, we all know trat ttat note or bond i3 worth $1000. We know, too, that if a farm yields $J per acre net profit, that that lend is worth for that purpose $100 per acre. V hy? Because it is the equal of gold loaned at the lesal rate of interest And it makes no difference wfcat the land cost, whether $20, or ?-';u per acre. So it is with railroad enterprises. If we can ascertain their net proats, th03e profits S'.and as the premium or interest received upon a thing of yalue, which value is easily computed when wo determine the use or forbearance of money. If money is worm 0 per cent, me aggregate ot net profits 13 six-hundredthsof the value of the enterprise; 11 o per cent, then iiva-hun-aienins, etc. From Poor's "Manual of Rillroads for 1SS2," It will be found that the net earnitgs of all the railroads ia the United States in IScSl was Cd 3 10 per cent, of their gross earnings. In other words, for every dollar of gross earnincs, 20 cents and '3 mills were actual profit. This, of course, was the average. So. if the net profits are given, a small mathematical calculation will produce the moneyed or cash vilue of any railroad, or other financial enterprise. A further computa'ioa will show that if we take five railroads, having the following per centages of net earnings, viz: 30, 33, 3G, 30, 12, the value of each respectively, upon the theory indicated above, will be 5, b)i, C, GJa and 7 times the gross (arcings of each. Sa that here we have as good a basis for estimating the value of a railroad plant as we would have of the value of wheat if we knew the amount it sold for and the expense of marketing it. If other property in our State is aDpraiEed for revenue purposes at one third, or other part of its real or money-producing value, bo should railroad property be appraised, and consequently the above suggested railroads would, on the onethird basis, be appraised at 1 2 3, 1 5 C, 2, 2 1 C ana 2 13 tiauea their gross earnings respectively. And if the average aggregate levies in the State should be $150 on the $100 valuation, it is readily seen that the railroads spoken of Bhould, if compelled to pay their just proportion of taxes according to values, be assessed respectively the following per centaee npoa their gross earnings, viz: 2J, 2X, 3, Z)i and 3JS. By this process, uniformity is obtained as to that class of property, and it is placed on an equality With other money-producing property. By so doing the r&ihoads have the benefit of all speculative values, with the intrinsic value of all the lands, improvements and the material enteiiug into their plants or enterprises. Some objection and many suggestions o detail may be imagined, but it is submitted that no more feasible or uniform plan can be adopted, and the wonder to the writer is that the railroad officers themselves have not urged its adoption. As stated above, by our present laws and the appraisements under them, the least paying railroads are assessed much too high as compared with the best paving roads, another instance of the weaker bearing the greater burdenand of making the rich richer and the poor poorer. On the plan indicated it should be borne in mind that, in order to ascertain the net profits or earnings, all disbursements by a railroad shoHld not be deducted from its gross earnings, but only actual operating or running expemes, and such items as for litigation, damages for negligenc?, Interest, loans, fixed charges, etc., should not be considered. Hoping this subject may be agitated until a change shall be made, I submit these thought. W. H. Dills. Commercial Union. Torohto, Ont, January 5. The following is a special cable dispatch to the Mail: "The Tall Mall Gazette's traveling commissioner, writing from Toronto, says: 'Commercial union is tbe coming question for Canada. It is talked about everywhere, and is a question which will split Canadian parties end will determine the whole relationship between Canada and the United States for years to come and affect to a great, if not a vital, degree the future of i tbe Anglo Saxon race upon the globe. Both the Globe and Mail, of Toronto, the first being a Liberal organ and the second recently converted from Conservativeism to independence, vie with each other in strength of their support. My own experience is that outside of Ottawa, which is the centre of ministerialiem, three out of five of the most intelligent men I have met are enthusiastic commercial unionists.' " Foreclosure Sales of Hallways, Chicago, January 5. The Railway Age to-morrow will publish the record of foreclosure ta'es and receiverships In th5 United States showing that no less than thirty-one different railways, aggregating 5,478 miles, and representing aa apparent capital investment of $328..000,000 were Bold In bankruptcy during 1SS7. The Age says: "It Is reaiarkabla that while by far the greater prt of the railroad buildings has been carried on In the wild and presumably reckless West, the old, conservative and wealthy Fastern States of New York and Pennsylvania, furnish nearly one-third of the roads that had to be closed out during the year, while none of the States in the West or South mae such a showinsr ot recklejs and anlortucate management,"

MADDENED MASTIFFS,

They Nearly Kill a W nole Family la Their Forious Race. CAMtEK, N. J.t January 9. Two huee mastiffs, owned by Lawyer Thomas H. French, nearly killed three persons yestera . . m r i . cay aitemoon. jar. xrencn lives at 47 York street. Between 4 arid 5 o'alock yesterday afternoon Jennie Youne, the eight-year-old child ot a neighbor, was playing in the kitchen with the dogs, as ehe had often dene before. Suddenly Mrs. French, who was in the sitting room, heard piercing screams from the child. There was no Eervant in the bouse, and Mrs. French ran quickly to the kitchen, Jennie had oeen knocked to the floor and the dogi had attacked her ferociously. Mr3. French endeavored to drive them oft, but for the first time in tbe two years Mr. French has owned them, they relused to obey her, and instead sprung at her threat and bit vijfiously at her face. She was qaickly knocked down, and both animals attacked her afresh. Her screams brought Mr. French down stairs, and he made for the dogs. No soon er did they see him then they sprang upon him, and despite ail his efforts, the fierce beasts knocked him down close behind his now unconscious wife, and attacked him ferociously. He finally struggled to his feet, seized a poker and drove the beasis out of the kitchen and locked the door. Then he fell fainting to the floor, covered with blood and his clothing torn in a dozen places. Tbe child was badly bitten about the throat, face an t arm, and was one mass cf torn flesh and blood from her shoulders up. Mrs. French's face waa terribly iacera tert, her rieht arm torn, end one ear bitten half off. Mr. French's face was terribly cut snd torn, part of his cose was gone, and it will be necessary to graft ekin from his arm to preserve it. His face and n?ck were badly torn and cut by the fangs and claws of the brute, 8nd he is suffering very much from th shock. Mra. French is prostrated, and the physicians fear serious reBults in her case. The child bad many spasms and there are grave fears forher. The mastiffs have been in Mr. French's possession for two years, and never before exhibited any tendency to harm any one. A cocsultation of physicians was held to-day at Mr. French's residence, and the result was that they chloroformed bim, grafted a piece of ekin from his arm on his nose, and sewed up his other wonnds. Mrs. French's wounds were also sewed up. The little girl is cot serious'y lacerated, and suflers chiefly from nervous prostration. The oegs have been killed. FLUSH TIMES IN FRISCO. When liar b Drivers jnaoe 950 a Day and Theatre Boxes were 81, 200. Ean Erancisco Examiner. Col MikeBrannigan, the celebrated guide and hackman of El Paso, Tex is on a visit to this city. Mr. Brannigan said yesterday: "I have come back to San Francisco for tie purpoEeof seeing some of myoid friends of the Argonaut days of IS 10, that is, as many of iheraas are alive. I can toll you some interesting things aVut early times in this city. 1 owned and drove the first Lack that ever rumbled over the streets of San Francisco. In 18.11 I got $50 a right to drive Catherine Hayes, the famous singer, and bermother, between the Razette House and Tom Maguire's Theatre, which waa then situated oa Washintoa street, between Montgomery and Kearney. I also got tbe same eum from several others at the time for the same trip. Those, were good old days, and I as well, I suppose as very many others, would wish to see ihcm beck pgain. I bsw 1,200 paid for a lox in Maenire's Theatre oa the openin? night of Catherine Hayes' season, A Limerick butcher at Sicramento paid $1,300 for a box when 6he went to the capital city to slag. Dollars in those days were more plentiful than nickels are now. When the mail steamers would arrive T have seen a gsmbler give a man aa ounce 01 auRT(to8i is 5i() forhfs place lathe long line of anxious people waiting their turn outside the old nostoffice. which was then at the corner of Breaham Place and Clay street. Then you would have to pay $12 a dozen for articles to bo laundered, and men used to throw soiled under clothing away and buy new articles rather man pay lor washing. 1 remember when Lotta Crabtree first appeared in this city. She used to plav a banjo and dance ligs at Gilbert's Melodeoa at the corner of Kearney and Clay streets, and got $6 a week. I think that was la lfeo l or lfc55. She went to 1r2inia Citv in IStX), and made a hit. Twenty-dollar gold pieces were showered on the stage for ber benefit. My charges then as a hack driver were $50 a day and all expensas paid. I. would like to eee that state of things ajain and we would have less comnlainta lhmt capitalists and the like. Everybody was a capitalist in the old days, and it only a few of the wealthiest exist now. I don't know why they ought to be blamed. We all had a chance to become mlllionaires.,an i if we did not, it can't be helped, and there is no use repining. Warning is given that Pond's Extract. the great pain remedy, ia never Bold by measure nor in bulk, nor in any druggists' Denies, and the Pond's .Extract Company will not spare anyone caught infringing their rights, and deceiving the public with base imitations.
