Hat hill and oxamlncd a map. " Natuo it?Homo," suggobted ono ol them. Homo?" said another, doubtfully, asn't built in u day, you know."

Thoir names aro not ma terial, but conveniently, to distinguish thorn from ono another, wo shall make UBO of thoir titles, respectively generul, oolonol and major. Dulco ot decorum est [It is sweet and proper) to Borvc one's country on tho Hold of battle, vanquishing her enemies and uphold' ing tho honor of her Hag. That is one .way to secure distinction and a mili tary title. Tho major had boon a citizen of Lot Angeles ono month?ho ?tili sometime* Inadvortontly said "you" when he meant " wo. Tho colonol had two months longci to his eredit, and lutended to run for tho oilloo of County Supervisor at the -??t.?. ? Tho g9nfer?4was a vorltfibl?oldtlmer. Ho had boon living in Los Angelet now nearly a year. Nobody know whonco they came, rhore thoy v/ero ; that'u all. In this muttor thoy wero no worso off (or shall wo Hay no better) than many othors at that samo timo and plueo. Tlio gen oral, for example, when ho was intro duced to strangers had a way of saying in a loud voice: " Yes, sir ! My name Is Bangs, sir ! And that was my name boforo I came hero." Then he would look aggressively around, and it hap hapouod not iufrequently that of them that heard him ono or two would turn a llttlo palo and east do?vn thoir eyes. Ah, whither have they gone, those judges, commodores and generals who for a brief timo seemed to own tho town? Can it ho that thoy aro all in Oklahoma? Tho capital stock of tho Glorious Cli muto Company was $0,000,000, of which sum : I ??' hud been subscribed and paid in. It was well known, however, that tho company wa? hacked by a powerful English syndicate. In those days when a man desired to outer upon any llttlo enterprise, snob as building a railroad, constructing a deep-water harbor, or founding a largo manufac turing center, he would always take dare Hrst to secure tho backing of some powerful English Syndicate. Thoy wero always powerful ; nobody over heard of a weak ono. Tho only other assets of tho Glorious Climato Company was a document bearing tho signature of a degenerate scion of a onco Illustrious Castilian house?an option on a price of hind fa vorably located for a town si to. Tho generali for all that tho seams of his coat woro shiny and Iiis culls somewhat frayed, carried about with him, nevertheless, a secret talisman, lie had a "pull" with tho railroad. Tho information had come to him " from the inside " that tho California or Bust Railroad (projected) was to pass directly through tho tract covered by thoir option. Bolievo in this railroad ? Well, thoy know tho public did, anyhow?tho dear, trustful public, that always be lieves in things. Tito oolonol had been a newspaper man In his early days. In a surpris ingly short timo everybody in South m. ern California know that great things wero In stoto for the now city of Rome. On a certain day in August, the traet was to bo thrown. open to tho public in u grand auction": +u. the meantime a few lots woro disposed of at private salo?principally to news paper men, public officials of high stunding, railway magnates, famous writers ami actors. Tho major was to act as auctioneer. He admitted to Iiis partners that he had never sold lots in Iiis life, his greatost efforts borotoforo in tho lino of mis representation having boon limited to the trading of horses. "'The principle seems to he about the same, howovor," ho said. " Ask livo times what it is worth, and then take whatever Is olTercd." Ho was a cool and easy speaker. The crowd, tho music and tlto enthusiastic ehooring of tho cappers moved him to extraordinary effort. Many of thoso who came tc ?s?'ojt. remained to buy. No one was more astonished at the result of tho salo than tho conspirators theinsolves. There was money enough to transform tho option Into a deed, pay till tho dobts of tho company, es tablish a handsome hank account anil Uli tho pockets of all three with coin. So much prosperity terrified tho ma jor, who anxiously inquired whether thoy had not better divido up and holt. Tho othors laughed at his fears. Thoy had accomplished thus much with no monoy at all. There was no limit to what thoy could do now'.with re-estab lished credit and a full locker. '* But wo must change our tactics." tho general adtnittod. "Uorotoforo it has hce u faith and not works that iiavo oeon olTered tho public. We must now show them that wo moan business; that wo aro laying tho foundation of a great olty." Tho mixt day llfty men wont to work in I tome, and tho dirt began to Hy in all directions. Thoy woro laying out a city on a grand soalo. A second auction salo wits to take placo In a few weeks. In tho mean time brokers in tho employ of tho com Jiany wont about buying back a few of ho lots already sold, thereby stiffen* ing the market. Several thousand street railwj.y ties, rented for a short timo, woro scattered through tho traet to foreshadow tho coming tramway. ** To hoar of these things through tho nowspapers did tho public seriously In cline. Whon the Mocond salo took place tho crowd in attendance was enormous. People fought for places, and otic red to pay sueh ama/.ing prices that tlto major, hardened horse dealer that ho was, almost hesitated to accept the bids. Whon the day was done tho city of Homo had passed completely out of tho hands of tho oompany. Now it was tho general who enun solod immediate llight. Ho had ro oolvod a llttlo more " insido Informa tion "?tho C. B. It. R. svas not coming to California at nil ! "Wo must got out of tho country before that is sprung," said he, "or we ?hall bo tar red and feathered." '?And the many promises .of tho Glorious Climate Company," Haid tho colonel?" houlovarda we weroto build, parks to lay out, public buildings to construct?how about them'/"' Tho general entiled. " Lot tho Eng lish syndicate take care of ail that," said ho. A few days later the trio had disap peared. Bo had the laborers upon the foundations of Home. As a mattor of fact, the great boom in Southern Cali fornia was at an Oath The impression began to leak Into many people ?bat somowhore they had heard something about "a fool and hia money." Ah for tho throe, they certainly were no fools. But Tho goueral went to Now York and loet It all in Wall street. Tho colonel went to Ohio and lost it all trying to fouuil a newspaper. Tho major went to Europe and lost it all at Monto Carlo. Naturally each, when ulraudod, ap pealed to the others. Naturally, too, the reply lu oaoli case was depressing. It was sovon years after tho episode of Homo that tho three men drifted to gether again in Chicago. The general's eoat was again shiny at tho soaniB and Iiis culls frayed as bo fore. Tho colunel drank beer and smoked ehoap cigars. Tho major had taken to strong liquors. Euch confessed to discontent, though nono of them was disposed to go iuto particulars. All lamented tho hal oyou days of tho founding of Home. "Thoro was no such combination as that at Monto Carlo," said tho major. " No such lambs Is Wall street," sighed the genoral. " No such suckers In Ohio," echoed tho colonel. "Why not go back thoroV" asked tho genoral. "1 don't moan to Home, ' for the coyotes must have iunipod that r claim, but to Southorn California." 44 Walk V" said tho colonel, briefly. " I can got tho transporting," said tho goueral. "My pull with tho road still holds good?ono way." ' "Ono way ?" repeated tho major. " Yos?away from Now York, where my swell relatives live. Tho return is i not so easy. i "Shall wo go by the California or Host lino?" asked the major with a grin. i " You needn't laugh," said tho gen oral, "That road was built after all, and 1 intend to got passes over it." i Four days later, as tho C. H H. H. "Overland" was Hearing tho end of Its run, tho thioo comrades, deep in a i poker gaino in tho smoking ear, wore \ e lee tri lied to hear a passenger sayiug : I "This station is Home. Grown quito a city, hasn't it?" " Wha-a-t!" cried tho general, drop ping hit cards. " Is there a Home on i this lino?" "Is thoro?" eelioed the passenger. " Just look out of the window and fib?." i Tho throe rushed'to tho platform just as tho train drew up at a hand some station surrounded by a well kept i par*. In plain letters over tho door l thoy road the name : ROME}. " Yes, it's tho place," said tho colo nel. Don't you see tho hills covered with beautiful residences?just as I predicted they would ho." Tho general led tho way out into the mail) street, it was built up solidly with substantial looking business blocks. The sidewalks were crowded with people moving briskly. Several street ears and omnibuses passed, woli lillod with arrivals from the train. Tho ollicors of the one-time G. C. L. St W. C. walked oi. for sumo distance without speaking. At length tho major, turning to tho general, broke out: " What do you suppose property is worth here in the business section?" Tho goueral groaned, hut did not speak. " If wo had only hold Oil !" said tho colonel. "If wo had ouly believed a little bit of our own lies I" " And theso lots wo lot go for a song," said the major, indignantly, "are now crowded with big buildings, and worth no end of money. Wo wore robbod, gentleuinii ! I say robbed !" " What are wo doing here?" growled tho general, sarcastically. "Think of taking tin option on the city? Let's go out ! I see no particular opening hero for tho ({?ose that didn't save Homo. Tho walking is good. Come along out of this !" And three figures moved down tho track in solemn, silent, single Hie. CONDEMNED 11Y TIIiLMAN. Tho " forty" Conference Doch Not Moot His Approval?He Prefers His Own Agreement. Senator Till mini was interviewed by a nowspapor correspondent last week, and gave his views upon tho action of the recent convention and questions relating thereto, as follows : " It appears to me that the action of tho convention tends,, rather to aggra vate than to soothe'Cho situation. Tho failure to-adopt as a part of the scheme of panlfieatton the conditions agreed upoti by tho conference held, on Febru ary 20, while accepting the idea of giving half to each faction, opens the whole question, and will, I fear, de stroy in v, largo measure the chances of having the convention elected with out a struggle between the factions. Those conditions are vital and I for one, would never consent to any such agreement, and in speaking thus I desire to recall the fact, which some people seem to have forgotten or pur posely misconstrued, that I have never in this business assumed to dictate to tho people or attempted to hind thorn in any way. Many of my friends havo misunderstood my actions, and others have boon quick to suggest treachery to tho people, and in a willingness to make terms with tho enemies of the Hoform movement, which wore unfair and undemocratic, inasmuch as agreed to advocate an equal division as far as possible, thereby surrender ing tho right of the. majority to govern. I havo never and do not now assume to do more than advise and that advice will be taken or not as the people see lit. " I note that grout stress was laid on tho fact of tho Governor and myHolf agreeing to an equal division, ami the proposal to sub?tituto ' fair ' or ' equit able' for 'equal' was rejected mainly on that ground, and herein lies tho very danger of which I spoke in a pre vious interview of betrayal of tho He form movement under tho guise of pa cification, it is v. ell known that there are men holding positions in tho He form movement who havo boon opposed to almost everything wo havo accom plished or uudoi taken. In faet, thoy aro Hoformors only in name, and for us to agree to an equal division without con ditions, and thnn havo somo of those mon oleeted as Koformcrs with tho most absolute certainty that they would align themselves In tho convention with the antiw would bo to Hiirrondor tiio control of that convention lioforo it is elected. As a trusted leader of the Hoform move ment i could never consent to advo cate any scheme that would jeopard i/o tho right to veto of the poor ami II literato whito men who havo ho trusted mo. l'lieso men were warned by tho Conservatives who opposed tho calling of the, convention last Novem ber that if the convention was called thoy would havo voted their last time, and now it is proposed to havo a con vention oleeted giving tho Conserva tives half of tho representation without conditions, thus making itposslbloto havo tho prediction fulfilled. The oxeuso is that wo must have a con stitution which will onsuro white supremacy without resort to fraud. I don't know that any ono proposes to incor|H>rato a provision in the now Constitution which will givo us a fraudulent whito supremacy, but wo can't lift, ourselves over tho fence by our i.i straps, and wo must ba\p relief from the incubus of universal negro h*nu*Yage. It is all v?ry well for tbo '* Forty" convention ami tho Con servatives to eubserlbo unanimously to tho doctrine of white sUprt macy. A simple education and ptoperty qualilieutiim would solve the wloie vexed question. Wo would Intvo wl ii ! supremacy and we Would ul?o have the supremacy of tho o n crowd who have been out in the cold for four years utong with it. i'liueu men have been ehiibt ned by dufuat uud tlien restoration to power might not pro duce any unpleasant revolution in exlstiug couditious, but 1 will never consent to put it iu tbeir power to dis franchise auy white man except for erlmo. " 1 am roady to staud by tho agree ment wo havu already made and exert whatever Inllueuce. 1 may possess in electing a non-partisan convention on | that basis. Thousauds of Hiformors i aro dissatisfied with the idoa of equal I ropresontation, although they are per fectly willing to give proportionate, re presentation upon tho basis of tho primary of 1802. This is perhaps as good a time as auy to state thut as practical men all the Iteformurs who attended the eonforoneo of the 20th of February foresaw that this would bo tho case ami we expressed tho liolief that tho Reformers would not -consent to do more than this. There was no deception ou either side in that meet ing and we agreed to advocate equal division as individuals ouly aftor the vital conditions of which 1 have spoken woro incorporated in the agreement. " 1 boliovo ulnuty por cent, of both factious would bo glad to have a bet tor stato of feeling and less strife and bitterness, and when the tlmo eouies l boliovo that tho people will settle this whole business in a way that will bo satisfactory without giving any moro weight than they deserve to tho aetion of tho "Forty" convention. When tho time comes If It l)e neces sary 1 will stump tho Stato iu advo cacy of tho sohemo proposed by the conference, but 1 will light tho world, tho llosli and tho dovil rathor than soo a convention elected which will fail to secure white supremacy with out detriment to tho poor men who huvo trusted and followed me. I am not wedded to the Mississippi plan, i but if nothing bettor olfors, then those who are opposed to it and threaten appeal to tho negro may as well got roady." BUTIifc.lt IS HBAIM? fc'kom.

Untier on his way homo from Washington was Inter viewed by a reportor of Tho Stale, and ox pressed his views on tho action of tho roeent convention of tho Forty. in reply to tho question, " Do you approve the aetion of tho Forty eon foroneo V" Gen. Butler said : x "Yes. From what I have seen In the. papers it is on tho right lino, and I trust tho plan will bo carried out. Tho proposition submitted some time ago exacting pledges as a condition precedent for going into tho conven tion was insulting to every free man, and could not lie tolerated for a moment. Of course every intelligent man recognizes tho importance of white supremacy, but it mnst be founded on justice to all. White supremacy is one tiling; Hing supre macy is another. White supremacy is hotter for tho white mail and.better for tho negro, hut, as I have said, it must bo founded on justice and fall'DOSS to all." " Would you advise submitting the new constitution to tho peopleV" "Well, you know I am done with public life?or, to speak more ac curately, public life is done with mo. I therefore speak ouly as a private citizen. My opinion is that question should be left to tho convention itself. Tho best men ought to he elected delegates and then left untrauunelcd and entirely free to do the very best possible for all the people. 11 must not be forgotton that tho organization of a contitutional convention is the highest exorcise of popular sovereignty, and should not he sectional, partisan or prejudiced, hut representative of all.. It should be conliucd to tho enuncia tion of general principles of govern ment, expressed in tho briefest, sim plest form possible, and free from o very thing legislative. As the con vention will boa sovereign body, direct from the people, it will do what a majority may think best. "Yes. I think tho Forty has done a great service to tho State, and 1 antic ipate the happiest results from its action. 1 was at its birth in Columbia some months ago, but had some ap prehension then thai its patriotic pur poses might be thwarted by extreme .men and demagogues. When 1 saw tho eharaetor of the men who were getting together in tho different counties, i felt much encouraged, ft only remains now to allow the people themselves to settle tho matter, free from boss ism or dictation, and we shall again have harmony and good feeling among our people."

Somu of tho most amusing stories are those which have a serious side. An old Confederate soldier tho other day told a story that is very laughable in these days of peace. It was after John Morgan was made a Gen. tbat a company was formed of some of his old old squadron, who had just returned Camp Chase, where for some tlmothey had hceu imprisoued. Tho company was formed by a man by the namo of Quirk, a reckless, daring follow, and a stranger to fear. Tho company wont by tho numo of Quirk's Scouts. It was a common occuranco for the Quirk Scouts to faco a whole rogimout of Yankoo soldlors, and in many instan ces they had caused tho regiment to rotroat before them. At this time tho company was down in middle Tennessee and was skirmish ing around for a tight, when thoy sud only came upon u regiment of Federal cavalry, in a little while tho two bodies of soldiors wore standing face to faco and tho bullets wore flying thiek and fast through tho air. The light thai followed was a desperate ono, and each side seemed determined to stand its ground. Suddonly, as tho light was at its hol test , a horse was seen to dash out of the Confederate lino and start in a direct lino for the Yankee regiment. On tho horse's back was a man named English, who was leaning hack in his saddle and pulling with all his might in a futile effort to stop his frightened horse. Tho animal was yellow in color, and in running took long and clumsy jumps. Tito rider finally saw that he could not stop tho animal and ho made up his miud to maKo tho best of the situation. Ho leaned forward in Iiis saddle until his head almost touched his horse's neck add his hands clasped tho bridlo near the bit. Fven the rider's ears soemed pinned back, so great was his olTort to mako himself as small as possible. His face win as pale as death. On wont the frightened ani mal toward tho regiment, turning neither to tho right nor to tho left, aud olosor and closer did the rider koop to the animal's body. The Yankees saw tho horse with its rider making straight for them, aud they wore seized with consterna tion. Some of the soldiers ceased firing and looked excitedly at the half maddened animal flying toward them. In a short while he reaehed tho regi ment, but did not stop. Tho Federals almost fell upon each other in their ef forts to got away from the horse's heels, and a regular panic, followed. Tho animal went plunging through the centre of tho regiment, foaming at tho mouth and with head down. The horse and rider dashed on through tho entire regiment, and tho Yankees kept making way for them all down tho line. Not a shot wus lired until lie had gotten out of range, and then nearly half of the regiment, who had managed to recover themselves from thoiraston ishmont, fired at a cloud of dust rising in the air, hut the horse and rider wore at a safe distance. The horso made a complete circle, returning to tiie Confederate company in safety. When th?: liebols saw their comrade had returned without a BCI'toh from such a dangerous ruin, they almost forgot tho light that was before them, and there went up a great cheer. ?it will not do auy longer to say a thing is not, worth a cancelled postage stamp Ouo man's collect! on of stamps, mostly cancelled has just been sold in New York after spirited bidding on each stamp, for $10,811.40.

Every house should havo a good sized medicine chest, or if not this, at least a small portublo cupboard, which should always bo well sup plied with a number of good common remedies for minor ills, or in case of accidents not serious enough to cajl for the aid of a physician. In city houses, where bathrooms are quite generally found, it is not unusual to see a cupboard in the bathroom at the back part of the house. While this may do well in steam-heated apartments, it is a mis take to have it from the sleeping rooms in ordinary dwellings, espe cially in winter time, and if there are little children in the house. For a mother to get out of a warm bed in zero weather to go through a long, cold hall to get medicine is an im prudence too many are guilty of. llettcr havo the medicine in this neat, condensed form in the bed room, hanging up out of the reach of little lingers, where they cau be gotten instantly if needed and with no discomfort. The shelves should always contain a supply of camphor, arnica, witch hazel, ammonia, alcohol, vaseline, baking soda, alum, quinine, myrrh, sweet oil and lime water, a mixture of equal parts for burns, a good ointment, nitre, ready-made mustard plasters, a good liniment, ami u reliable cough syrup, together with a roll of soft, old white cotton, u needle, spool of thread and scissors. Let us not delude ourselves; if we find the love of sin and of the world stronger in our hearts than the lovt of Christ, we are not. partakers ol his redemption. ram 1 1 A YOUNG GIRL'S FORTUNE. AN INTERESTING SKETCH. Nothing appeals bo strougly to a mother's affection as her daughter Just budding into womanhood. Following Is au instance: "Our daughter, Hlanelio, uow 15 ycArs of iw:<\ hud been terribly afllictcd with nervousness, and bud lost tbo cntiro uso of her right arm. Sbo Was in such a condition that we had to keep her from school and abandon her music les sons. In fact, wo feared Kt. Vitus dance, mid aro ixwltivo but for an Invaluable remedy she would havo hud that torriblo afllietion. Wo had employed physicians, but she rcceived.no benefit from tbeiu. Tho first of last August slio weighed but 75 pounds, and although she lias taken only tbrco bottles of Nervine sbo now Weighs 106 pound*; her nervousness and symp toms of St. Vitus danco aro entirely gone, sbo Attends school regularly, and studies with com fort and ease. Sho has recovered complete use of her arm, her appctito Is splendid, and no 'money could procure for our daughter the health Dr. Mites' Ncrviuo has brought her. When my brother recommended the remedy 1 had no faith In patent medicines, and would not listen to htm, but as a last resort he sent us a bottle, wo began giving It to manche, and tho Offset was almost immediate."?Mrs. It.
