A D.scussicn Between John and Sallie on
Editor Sau Antonio Light.
John and Sallie were living on a «ruall
homestead upon which there was an un
paid balance of $5OO drawing 12 per cent
interest. Industrious and economical
they were saving every cent to save
their little home. Often in their quiet
discussions they would count up the bad
debts due them, which, if they could
only collect would go a lo’g ways to
wards paying this oppressive balance.
On a Saturday night John went home
with his week's wages and a bag of $lOO
in silver, extra. "Here, Sallie, handing
her the bag, is an unexpected payment
of an old debts, what shall we do with
it?
Why John, you surprise me. from
whom did you get it? Ohl it mutters
not, lie replied ; the question is wliat
shall we do with It? Sallie looking at
the live solid roll-’, said. John you Inui
better go and pay it on this note for our
bouse. So John on Monday morning be
fore going to work, went and handed
over the bag and had the amount duly
credited on the note
In a few day's John returned home
from his work, and to Sallie's great as
tonishment had in his hand the identi
cal bag of one huadred silver dollars.
Why, John, how on .arth did you get
that same bag of silver? Why Sallie
you see tlie bolder of our note did not
want to keep this money as it was silver,
and he loaned it out with other sums of
silver, and this bag fell into the hands
of one of our old debtors, who was hon
est enough when able, to pay us our
just debts, but what shall we do with
it Sallie? Just let it go w ith the other
hundred dollars, said Sallie. So John
went and had tlie note credited again.
Not long afterwards John came home
with the same silver bag: Whv. John,
said Sallie, it seems we can't keep this
silver from coming back to us. That's
all right, Sallie, I reckon we can pay ii
out as fast as it conies in.
And that silver kept coming back tin
til the five hundred dollars principal
and interest was fully paid, the note
taken up and the homestead secured.
There is one thing, John, about this that
1 don't dully understand, said Sallie; 1
see in the papeie that these silver dol
lars are worth only 80 cents; how is it
that they are worth a dollar to us? Never
mind, Sallie, we have our home paid for;
we are out of debt, and when the silver
comes back again 1 will build you that
cow-shed I have promised you so long,
and a chicken house, and a new fence in
place of that old pole and brush fence,
and make our home comfortable and
convenient.
Respectfully referred to Mr. Manning,
Secretary of the Treasury. D. Cs It.
Last evening, just before dark, a shoot
ing affray occurred near the Mission
Mills, the reason of which is at present
Involved in mystery. A Mexican, whose
mine cannot at present be ascertained,
was riding to his home on the Medina,
and had proceeded about half a mile
from the Mission, when he saw two
horsemen approaching, who, by their
appearance, he believed to be Ameri
cans. As they neared him, one of them
drew a pistol ami tired at him, the bullet
striking the Mexican at the side of his
head and ploughing its way upwards
through the crown of his skull. A short
time after the man thus shot was discov
ered lying in a pool of blood on the
ground by two inhabitants of San Juan,
and he was conveyed to the house of
a Mexican named Joaquin; despite tiie
serious wound the man recovered con
sciousness and was able totell the above
tale. On the Sheriff receiving informa
tion of the fact Deputy Sheriff Bob
Alexander was dispatched to ascertain
full particulars, and if possible, te arrest
the perpetrators, of whom however noth
ing has been seen or is known. At the
time of going to press Deputy Sheriff
Alexander has not returned, though a
telephone message that the man is not
expected to live many hours longer lias
been received.

Inches of water in the san Pedro ditch,

Aiderman Lockwood
Alderman A. 1. Lockwood has his say
on Ills hold-over question in Hie Exprass.
He s ivs that considering that Mr. Pauly
was a very conscientious gentleman
with a high sense of honor, he could not
do otherwise than he did, and resign,
and that he no doubt would be returded
by the appreciative voters of the Fourth
Ward where he was held in high es
teem "The remarks of Aiderman Lock
wood allow very damaging inferences
as to himself in contrast to the action of
Mr. Pauly. Uis arguments on the sub
ject go far what they are worth, coming
from one who is disposed to “hold over,”
hut it is noticeable that the burden of
the responsibility is thrown on the
shoulders of the Mayor, who it is under
stood voluntarily accepts the same. The
.Mayor probably thinks he may as well
take it with the many already saddled
• n him.

Life's Philosophy 1886.
Do uot hurry, do not flurry !
Nothing good is got by worry.
Bide the hour to make the spring !
Take life easy; that’s the thing.
Do not trouble, do not trouble!
Heavy hearts make toiling double.
Groans the back w ith loaded pain ?
Laugh, and ’twill grow light again
Do not sorrow, do not sorrow !
Grief to-day is Joy to-morrow.
Life flows smoothly after fears :
Eyes shine brightest washed with tears.
Hark the children, hark the voices !
Somewhere, everything rejoices.
Blasts without of winter ring,
Yet inward mirth makes endless spring.
Soon from elms will rooks b< caw ing.
Youag lambs leaping, old folks thawing;
Soon with a sunny April dawn
Will daisies bright bedeck the lawn.
Forward, then, to victory straining!
Forward, as brave men, uncomplaining!
TLe game's afoot, and Lere's the ball;
Yonder the goal; on, comrades all!
India. Ireland? Brood uot o'er them!
Church and State? Fight, fear not for
them!
Statesmen baiHed. leaders lost ?
Yet, courage, friends! Gods leads our
host!
Good gathers strength, and Io! Hie pow-
ers
Of darkness yield. The day is ours.
Tho’ cloud and tempest wrap the sky,
Yet wakes behind the Eternal eye.
Watching, wondering, yearning, know
ing
Whence the stream, and where 'tisgoing
Seems all mystery ? By and by
He will speak anil tell us why.

of whom are working on the New Or
leans division and others on the Jackson

Shoe Operatives Dissatisfied.
Milwaikke, Wis., February 22,—A
general strike among the employes of
the Milwaukee boot and shoe manufac
tories is reported as imminent. At recent
meetings of assemblies of the Knights
of Labor, composed of employes of the
boot and shoe manufactories, resolu
tions were adopted to ask all manufac
turers to agree upon a certain scale of
prices, similar to that in effect in Brad
ley A Metcalf's factories. The resolu
tions were put in the form of a fermal
demand and were to-day served upon
the manufacturers, notice con
tained the scale of prices which was
asked to ba established, with the de
mand that the various shop committees
he notified of the intention of the em
ployers nt or before 9 o'clock this morn
ing. At the hour named, six manufac
turers notified the committees they had
refused to comply with the demand.
T. T. Sneubert A Co., alone consented
to adopt the scale formed by the men.
Immediately upon receiving the replies
of the manufacturers the executive com
mittee of the Knights of l.abor was no
tified by shop committees, and a meet
ing was at once called to decide upon
the next step. The meeting lias already
been discussed at length, and it has been
decided to order a general strike in the
shops w here the demand was refused.
About 61.10 men will quit work.
Chinese Wrongs.
New Yoru», February 22.—"11ie Mail
and Express publishes the following in
terview w ith Ching Hoy. Chinese Consul
of this city, based upon a St. Louis dis
patch, saying that the Chinese Imperial
Government contemplates retaliatory
measures on account of the treatment
accorded Chinese subjects in this coun
try : "1 cannot say that I am advised
that an imperia 1 proclamation has been
issued compelling all Chinamen of this
country to return home, but I can say
that the Consul-General at Frisco has
sent out notices advising all Chinamen
to leave. Whether the Government is
back of this I cannot say. As to sug
gestion of retaliation. 1 have no doubt
measures of this kind will be taken by
our government. If Chinamen aredriven
out and outraged here, why can’t our
people drive out all Americans from
< hina? The good name of this country
has been disgraced by the recent out
rages. and the question lias become very
serious. There is’ no protection to
Chinamen at all. but American mer
chants and missionaries are well treated
in China, and whenever ill treated the
Government Las taken prompt action,
not only paying damages, but redress
ing the wrong done. What 1 don’t un
derstand is why the good people of the
East remain silent. It certainly was
not the intention of Congress that mer
chants and others should be treated in
this way. If nothing is done, commerce
between the two countries, amounting to
$50,090.000 annually, will be destroyed.”
Cheap Rates.
Chicago, February 22.—The Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe road to-day issued
instructions to all agents to give orders
for a rebate of $2O on the $5O, llrst-class
ticket cut rate, and $5 on the second
class immigrant cut rate. The same
were quietly distributed this afternoon.
The Burlington and Denver and Rio
Grande, accidentally hearing of this im
migration cut issued orders making first
class coupons from the Missouri River to
San Francisco $3O, and $2O second-class.
It is understood that the Union Pacific
officers, who had been notified of this
last reduction in overland rates, will
meet it promptly.
To Suppress Gambling.
Berlin, February 22.—Prince William,
son ot the Prince Imperial, whois a
Colonel of the Grand Hussars, has or
dered every officer of that regiment to
withdraw from the Union Club, on ac
count of the reckless gambling permitted
in the chib rooms. The committee of
the club intend to suppress all gambling.
