Th- llrlff Political Career or IVentlee Muirbrtl A Mercenary Vl-w of Mlntes mennhlp Xovrl Methods or Canvassing Utter Kout at the rolls. This is tho confession of a political villain; not, however, a perjured politi cal villain. iTiovcr swore to run -for oflico for my country's gooil. I did run ouce.for an oflice for my own good. 1 ivas unsuccessful. Virtue Jias its own reward; so has vice. Tho wicked do -not always flourish like green buy trees. Indeed, judging from a home . experience,-1 am not prepared to ay that thqy flourish at all. The falljiolit- . ical campaign of 18G6- 7 came on while I was carrying my comic locturo about tho camps of Tuolumne, Stanilaus and Mariposa. - 3A .thought one day took possession of me, "why not run for the Legislature?" I belonged to a' political party. JVIy frozen loes troubled mc a gbbdTdeal, and the lecture did not pay much over expens33. 7 consulted with one of the pillars of our party. He be longed in Oak Flat. I took" tho pillar 4 behind Dan Munn's storo, on Rattle snake Creek, and avowed my intention. Tho pillar took a big chew of tobacco, stared, grinned and said: "Why not?" I consulted with another pillar behind Bob Love's storo in Montezuma. He was throwing dirt from a prospect-hole with a long-handled shovel. He leaned on the shovel, blew his noso au naturcl without artificial aid. grinned, and after some deliberation, said: "Why not?" I found another pillar of our parly slum ming out a reservoir near Jamestown. Ho was enveloped in yellow mud to his waist, and smaller bodies of, mud plastered him upward. A short pipe was in his month and a shimguilion shovel in his hand. Ho said: "join for it and win." ENTEKIXG THE FIELD. With less assurance and more fear and trembling I consulted with other and more influential party pillars in Sonora, the county town. Some hesi tated; some were dignified: some cheered mc on; somo said, " Why not?" I made the same remark to myself, and replied "Why not?" The Assembly was a good gate for entering the politi cal field. My ideas of its duties were vague. Of my own qualifications for the post I dared not think. -"But what matter?. Other men no better qualified than I had gone to Sacramento, received their ten dollars per diem and canie back alive. I could do that. They seemed to stand as well as ever in tho estimation of their constituents. Then " Why not?" Tho die was cast. I an nounced myself in the county papor as a candidate for the Slate Assembly. The County Convention assembled at So nora. It was a body distinguished for wisdom and jurisprudence. Somebody nominated me. I aroso and paid some body else five dollars. This was the first price of ambition. Then I found myself making my nominating speech. It'was a very successful speech. I left out politics altogether, made no pledges, discussed no principles and talked no sense. At first the audience 'stared. Thou they laughed immoderately at times. So did f. Then they nominated me by acclamation. It wa3 ono of the proudest moments of my. life, although I did not know it at tho time. Taken for all in all, it was no wonder they laughed. I was obliged to laugh my self at tho whole affair behind the Court House when tho Convention adjourned. And "Why not?" POLITICS WITHOUT SENTIMENT. It was the laugh of a fiend! I wanted the position for tho per diem. 1 was buried in, turpitude. My colleagues ru all running on principle to save the country. It is singular that the motive of such a wolf in sheep's cloth ing as I was at that time was not de tected. Tho great and good men, secure in their own rectitude aud purity of purpose, by whom 1 was surrounded, never onto guessed at the presence of the snake in theirgras. Looking back at this occurrence after the lapse of nearlv twenty years, I am more audi more astonished that the party should have risked taking such a load as my self on its shoulders. I had no position, no felantling, next to no Imputation, "ho property, no good clothes, no whole shoes, no fixed habitation and three soro toes. I had not nor did not real 'izethe responsibilities of a citizen. I had 'no family and could not realize tho duties and responsibilities of those who were rearing young citizens for the great Republ:c Should such a man bo, sent to the State Legislature? Of course not- Are such men ever sent? Of course not. I do not think now that at tho period spoken of I was even incor ruptible. Should a pefson who seldom saw over ten dollars in his possession at any one time be sent where he might bs 44 approached"' by designing men? Of course not Was such au ono ever sent? Never! Tho commonwealth of Cali fornia ran a fearful risk in my nomina tion. SINS. Or X CANDIDATE. Few, probably none, suspected the mental miserv I endured durinjr this campaign. Because 1 knew and felt my turpitude, I knew my unfitness" for the position to which I aspired. I knew where lay the snake in tho grass. Could 1 meet daily a trusting, credulous constituency, who -believed that my. mind was full of projects Sot the relief! ot tlie fctate and .Nation, without re morse? Of course not. I had remorse bad, but I dared not back out and off the track. So I kept on, and the vult ures jniawed mv vitals. Those1 who think the wicked have such a roodl time are sadly mistaken. Our party was firmly grounded on one grand be lief. It was that nothing the other par ty could do was right, nothing that we did was wrorg. This at that time I did not believe. But I pretended to. Or rather I stifled all thought on the sub ject. This was the first great sin. Un like my colleagues, I was untrue to my own convictions. They but how I wished for their faith. It could move mountains of doubt Mino couldn't. How 1 hated my conscience. It tor mented me worse than.a chronic colic There I was standing shoulder to shoul der with patriotsbattling bravely for a cause, a principle, while I I cared for naught save a seat in the Assembly at ten dollars a day. , A LIVELY CAMPAIGN. It was a stirring--campaign, that of 18G6, in and about Tuolumne County. Theantagonism Avas of the bitterest character. Political opponents reviled each other in print and' sometimes pep pered each other with pistols. Bullets flew about night and day. It was dan gerous in Sonora to sleep in a clap board cd house in tho averago lino of aim. Tho papers left nothing unsaid which could taunt and irritate. Editors went about the streets weighed down by masked batteries. It was calculated that fiverhuodrt'drpouud oUronwre daily packedabout the streets itt tbo shape of forringers.'jknives aid revolv ers. The cEimpions'of tho opposing parties never met on the highway i but that peopltT'pecrcd and squinted from door and window for the bombardment to commence. Knives were bathed in gore. Barroom floors showed bloody stains. Men died with their boots on. Loaded shotguns lay in ambush behind front and back doors. The atmosphere smelt of blood and possible killing. Saloon p'ate-glass in'rror.? showed the track of pistol bullet.. Mats jnceting3 were assemblages of men from town and country, su Telly armed. People spent most of their" time hating each other. Ministers went behind the or thodox returns and preached sectional and partisan politics. The more vital tenets of religion were suspended for the time being with the writ of habeas corpus. I canvassed the couutv with my comic lecture. It took. It was popular with both parties. It was a pleasant relief from tbo heavier logic and argument used by heavier and more solid speakers. It was like the farce after the tragedy. It sent assem blies and mass meetings home in good humor. Nobody asked if such a can didate was fit to" make law.s. But there Tuolumne showed wisdom. They didn't want anymore iaws made. Every body who had "'been sent to the Leg islatures since California was created a State had been busy puttingmoroJaw.s: on the statute books. J fiere was an overplus. People couldn't keep count of the laws already made. Tuolumne thon'showud'wisdo'nT.in its -endeavor to send one viah5rto , the Legislature of 18GG-'7 who,, not being -nlHot to draw up a bill, could not have added a single now law to the mass already made. NOVELTIES AT THE 1'OLLS. ; Feeling that I had'not done justice to the party in making an active canvass of the ccunty; principally because I had no money to make a canvass with by treating long lines of ever-ready patri ots at every liar in Tuolumne," I con cluded I would hold a series of private mass meetings in the day time on hor.-e-baok. I would do this on election da'. I would gallop from poll to poll and make a speech at each poll. I had a route laid out embracing half the coun ty. I made tho initial equestrian speech at Jamestown. Thenco I galloped to Shaw's Flat. Shaw's Flat upset me. The pillar of our party there, at whoso saloon tho polls were held, came to his door while I was s'peaking, took ono look-at-me and walked off in disgust.-1 saw the disgust on his face an inch thick. It smote inc. It throw a wet blanket overall this nowly-roused enthusiasm. I started for Columbia, but all tho way that man's face peered into mine. It robbed me of all courago -and confi dence. 1 had no further heart to con tinue the work. It was not at all tho regular thing. It was an innovation on old party usages. The country even then was too old for such politico-equestrian heroics. I rode back to James; town, put the horso in his stable, and hid myself. Tlie people did not agree to send me to Sacramento. Perhaps it was fortunate for them they did not. Probably it was for me. Whateverliap- ficns to a man in this life is probably tho cst thing for him, inasmuch as nothing else can happen to him. I had the profit of an experience in making a semi-political debut, and tho people profited by scntling another man. SOME SAGE KEFI.ECTIONS. " Could the past but be recalled, with all its conditions, contingencies and ac cessories; could I once more renew this episode with the advantage of years of past experience ana accumulated wisJ uom, 1 should succeed. I should' fill the post of Legislator, if not a Legisla tor. But the future is apt to come too late. To be sure it was for me a period of folly and weakness. My soul even now squirms with shamo to think of it "And it should," I hear my fellow human judges saying. Of course it should. Man's first.duty to himself is to hide his follies and bear himself as though ho never committed any.,, Only lean afford to tell what a wretch I have been. Were I a candidate for office I could not. Sonic day, when tho-world is wiser, men will cease strutting about in their masks of propriety and wisdom, and publish their own past errors as freely as now they do those of thoir fel lows. It is a good preliminary previous to entrance into that world where "jill things shall bo r,evealed,'Mvhcre each action lies in" its true nature, and where each ono of us mint " oven to th'otceth and forehead of our faults give in evi denco."

The Japanese tradesman, unlike the Chinaman, is not accustomed to adopt hhrh-Boundimr titles to denote his place of fcusincss.-and, until recently, trades men were designated by the names, of hcir respective stores, to which tifcir own surnabes were added. Tljcir business signs, or trademarks, ai'we would stylo them, reproduce in many cases the province from which tho fam ily originally came, to which frequently their former trade was added. Thus, presuming that Kane-Ko (metal child), to be earning on business i: Mito Ya (Mito's shop), his trade designation winld be Mito-Ya Kane-Ko. Of late this class is permitted to ate a surname, a privilege confined in 'formcr'days to the official 'class. These suraaraeTevP" dently derive their origin from the names of the landed property of those whobearthem We find amongthem the names of woods, forests, underwood, quick-river, hill-town, cliff-bridge, cliff cape, front-field, small-stream, virtuous river, river-mouth, or other words usu ally compounded of two Chinese char acters, names of one or three forming the exceptions. It is permitted to fam ilies to bestow their surname on per sons not related to them, and in this manner the nobility was accustomed to honor their retainers and the samuri, the servants and tradcsmeji who lived under their protection. 'Besides the surname, or family $de!gnntion, the Japanese employ the common name whiuh correspond with our baptismal title, add "a preference U shown by some families fornanes poascstisg cer-taiayeculiariUc3asf'foroxrnplRYosh-itaro YoshigTroT Yosliisaburof Kitchi (or Yoshi-)moske.

A" into is tho posthumous name which is engraved upon tne tombstone. This latter is usually selected by tho Buddhist priests, anil is determined bv certain rules, va rying according to the sect and rank of the deceased. Women have no sur names. They are known by a namo (iobi mi) which is selected by the pa rents about a week after the" birth" of the infant. The names of fruit, trees, flowers, colors, birds, certain animals, or some other fancy name, selected ar ibitrarilv, usually furnish this designa tion, which, except when tho perSon is addressed by a parent or superior, is generally used with tho prefix O. Tho names of singing ami dancing girls are frequently elaborated bj' tho addition of qualifying words, as. for instance, hoyoxhi (the little fortune.) while those of the public worae'rf are still more fancifully adorned, thus: Fuiinami (tho waves of the wisteria blossom). The daughters of the upper c!as6es,usually receive a. .name on their? betrothal, which consists of rono Chinese charac ter. It is-chbsen''by 'heir friends", but is ver rarely used.

Adulterated Tiiekg has been so much looso talk about the adulterations of food that it is important to find out what are the exact "facts regarding them. If tho 'general statements of somo of the alarmists" who'havo written on the sub ject have a correct- basis of fact on which to rest, food adulteration is prac ticed to so greatnn extent and is of such acharatcr that what we cat and drink is always liable to contain poison. The Hritish National Board of Trade has lately awarded prizes for essays on the adulteration, of food and drink", and for drafts of laws for ils prevention. The, essay of Mr. G. W. Wigncr, of Ijondon. received the first prize, and it is certainly a very clear, practical and exhaustive Jtlisciission of tho subject From that essay, and also from the essays which took the .second and third prizes otlcrcd, ve will make a summary of the 'facts. Tho public will be relieved when they hear that there is no satisfactory evi dence presented to show-iJiaWdanger-ous adulterations aro at all common among us.

The article sold is not wholly what it is represented to be, but the substances introduced into it, or mixed with it to cheapen its manufacture or to give more attractiveness to its appearance, are usually innoxious.

Y. Sun. A HoneSboer"s Experience. Nine persons out of ten will say that corns in horses' feet are caused by bad j shoeing. My experience will justify mc in saying that nine-ieuins oi me corns are caused by the owners of horses neglecting to get them shod as often as they ought Wo are nearly all agreed that horses should bo t-hod as often as once in every four to suymu weeks, ac cording to circumstances. Now, a great many horse owners, particularly farmers, will get a team shod and, un less the horso becomes lame, will per mit the shoes to remain on until they grow off. If tho horse has a round foot, and tho shoH was fitted closo all around, in four or five weeks tho shoo will have been carried forward by tho growth of hoof, so that one or both of the heels will be off tho wall, and in a short time corns will lie produced. Now. if tho owner would take his bor&c to tho shop on , .some fixed date every month, instead of leaving tho shoes on from seven to twenty weeks, horses would have fewer corns. In shoeing. I prefer a wide heel, and mnlo the heels of the forward shoes whether they have corns or not, on horses that have flat feet For interfering, level tfie lo t and fit the shoe all around close. Then mule the inside heel slightly. In winter it is a good plan to turn the outaido heel calk, as it keeps tho foot out of the trough of the road. .For over-reaching I have the best suc cess shoeing with long shoes all around. Let the heels of the forward shoe3 stick out an inch and tho hind shoes three quarters of an inch. As the forward foot raises, the long shoo will raise enough so the hind foot will pass un der, while with a short shoe tho shoo will raise iust enough for tho hind shoe to hit tho heels, causing a disagreeable clicking. I can do better and quicker work with the knife and rasp than with buttress. - If the foot is grown out very long, I take tho cutting pliers and nip the hoof oil' from quarters to toe. This insures the removal of the stubs of nails, and with a sharp knife and rasp, the foot is soon read. I practice cold-fitting, al though 1 do not think a thick-shelled foot is injured by touching it with a red-hot shoo that was provlously fitted. A thin-shelled foot 1 never press with a hot shoo. Was taught to weld toe-calks oa shoes first, and iieel up afterward, but I practice heeling shoes first and put on tho toe-calk when ready to uso tho shoe. If you toe last there will bo heat enough in the shoe after welding tho calk to fit the shoe. I let the heels which are nearly cold drop on tho wall of the foot and hold the toe, which is red hot an inch away from tho foot while fitting. Aftor tho shoe is fitted and level, harden tho too and nail on. I know a great many advocate heating a shoe red hot after tho foot is prepared and the shoe fitted, and press the foot for an instant with the hot shoe. But all the advautago they claim is an equal bearing and that tho shoo will be less liable to como off.' Now I can with knife and rasp get as good a bearing, and with a good nail fasten tho shoe so that it will etay longer than it ought J. W.

The deaths among tho lunatics of tho State are at a rate nearly three times greater than that -of tho whole community. The number.of recoveries is somewhat les than the deaths in most of the estab lishments. Another suggestive fact ap pears. Aoout uve-sixtiis ot the insane aro paupers. That goes to sustain re cent statements that insanity is most frequent among those who sutler from the poverty and wretchedness of modern life. We "must remember, however, that tbb number of insane patients given' does not include a iargo part of those who come from the ranks of the more wealthy. Many of these lunatics are not confined in public asylums, but are in private retreats or are kept at home. Add them to the number given by tho ceqsus of tho asylums, and the total of the insane in Massachusetts will reach 5,000. Insanity is on the increase in the State. Its growth does not fol low tho proportion of gain in popula tion, but is nearly double that New York Sun. Poor Tentilatlon.

The cowards did not start to the Pacific coast in tho old days; nil the weak died on tho way. And so it was that wo had then not only a raco of giants, but of gods. It is to be allowed that they were not at all careful of tho laws, cither ancient or modern, ecclesi astical or lay. They would curse. They would fight like dogs aye, like Christians in battle But there was more solid honor among those men than tho world will over see again in any body of men, I fear, till it approachus the millennium. Is it dying out with them? I hear that the new Californians are rather common cattle. Do you know whero tho real old Cali fornian is? the giaut, the world build er.-' ilo is sitting by iho Iran high up on the mountain His eves are dim. and his head is white. His sleeves aro his side. His feet arc wearv and sore. He is still prospecting. Pretty soon lie will sink his last prospect hole in the I Sierra. Somo younger jnen will como along and lengthen it out a little, and lay him in h:s grave. The old miner will havo passed on to prospect the out cropping that star tho lloors of heaven. Ho is not numerous now; but I saw him last summor high up on tho head waters of tho Sacramento. His face is set forever away from that civilization which has passed him by. Ho is called a tramp now. And tho new, nice peo ple who havo slid over the plains in a palace car. and settled down there, set , dogs on him sometimes when he comes that way. I charge yontreat the old Californian well, wherever you find him. He lias seen more, suffered more, practi-cd more self-denial, than can now fall to the lot of any man. And ihoush ho may die there in tho pines on the mighty mountain, while still feebly searching for the golden Uccce, do not forget 'that his life is' an epieuoblc as any handed down from out the dusty eld. I implore you treat him kindly. Some day a fitting p"oct will come,"andthen he will take his place among the heroes arid the1 gods. But' there is another old Californian, a wearier man, the successful one. -He. too,, is ffettinsr rray. But lie is a power in the land. He is a prince in fact and inner. nac sirangetiaie wasirmai threw dust in the eyes of that old Cali fornian, sitting by tho ttaii high up on the mountain,- and blinded ljim so that be could not see tho gold just within his grasp a quarter of a century ago? Ami what good fairy was it that led this other old Californian. now the banker, the railroad king, or Senator, to where the mountain gnomes had hid den their gold of old? What accidental beggars and princes we have in tho world to-day.! But whether beggar ot prince, the olil Cali fornian stands a head and shoulder taller tfian his fellows wherever you may-find him. This is" a solid, granite truth. Joaquin Miller, in the Valior- ntan. . i. v A Faardly Affair. Thk Kaffirs hold the doctrine of the transmigration of souls, and pay the spirits of their relatives the doubtful compliment of believing that theyhave special affinity for saakes and serpents. So; when some venomous reptile takes up its quarters, with, a family, in place of killing it, they abandon the hut to Its use. Dr. forbury tells a story of 3 missionary who came near to paying 'with his Ufa for the delicate consid eration of his dock. While officiating at a communion-table, he .fancied he heard a hissing sound, bringing the services' prenlaturelyr to a close, he peeped below. .the cloth, aad saw one of the most poisonous snakes in. South Africa. His parishioners had had their eves upon it all the time, but had de clined to say anything from motives of delicacy.. They tbeaght the snake must be a relative of their clergysun; and would not interfere in a family af fair. .
