A man was asked once to take a drink and he said: "No, I never drink, but I'll take a cigar and three cents." That man lived away back Bast Laughter.

A good man makes vou feel good. A bright, cheerful mail makes you happy with his hearty "Uood-mornine. If von start out fresh and cheerful in the morning and meet an ill-mannered man who talks about yonr "busting up" he sours your whole day. The man who deprives you of your good humor is worse than the pick-pocket who steals your purse. It is better to shed sunshine, go out into the garden and learn the lesson of the violet which perfumes the whole yard.

The aroma of a Christian charac ter will enliven a whole neighborhood. was going through the market in New York one day and one bov said to an- uuier: ooej vou re poin to Inae on them green peas."

I wouldn't take the moral responsibility of telling a boy he would lose on them green peas. I don like these croakers.

If there is a lame sheep in a nock, all the "crows in the neighborhood know it. My brother was once walking in the streets of Brooklyn, snd a man said: "Are you the man who has the consumption?" My brother said "No." "Well I thought you knight be, because somebody is -sick here on this street," said the man iu a gloomy voice. My brother turned, and, pointing his hnger at the man, said: "I'm a minister, and I have preached for fifteen years, and during my time I've buried about fifty such big fat fellows as yOJ. are. Laughter.

Some people are not happy unless they are miserable, and then they are miserably happy. I west to the New York anniversaries to make a speech, and, owing to an accident, got there late. I asked the sexton of the church where to put my sitchel. He said, "I don't care where you put I said, "If I leave it on this side will it be safe?" "Yea, if some of these jministers don't steal it." Laughter and applause, He was miserable, and wanted to make me so. AVOrD SATIN CJiPLKASAItT THINGS.

People are so apt to about their church, their club, their doctor, and their fellows. If your father I was so unfortunate as to be hung, they talk of capital punishment; if he failed, of bankruptcy laws; they are whisperers, and that is all they are good for. What a stupid thing this world would be if every one was alike. Greeley was excused for his oddity of and old Dr. McClel'an for bis eccentricity in preaching in his stocking eet and quoting Greek epigrams and I Shakspeare behind a slow -horse.

The philosopher who puts his candle jto bed and blows himself out of the window, is to be pardoned. Oddities are good in their place. Luther could have been; tempered by the calm ness of Melancthon. I knew a man who had an earthquake sneeze which seemed to shake the foundations of the earth, and wbieh he used in quiet prayer meetings. A man has certain inalienable rights, such as Efe, liberty and tbe privilege of sneezing wheu the inside of his nose tickles, bnt it is ill-nrjnnered to sneeze out of 'place.

Parents should teach their childreu good manners. A boy was brought in to see General Scott, and asked himiif he was the General Scott who got licked in running for the Presidency, and was called old fuss and feathers. His! father was mortified. He had not taught Mm correctly. There should be a regard for time and circumstances.

I have no respect for dandies with curls, and "oh and "all's" and namby pamby nonsense, and have just as little for recklessness of demeanor 'and breaking through all tbe decencies of life. Let two young mea go out, one with capital and bad man-ners, and the other with no capital and good manners, and tbe latter will win every time. Applause. They say if a man is urbane and courteous he is soft young man went to Washington to see the great jmen. He was treated rudely by aj Senator.

One went see Henry Clay and was treated politely and made at borne. There was no effeminancy in Clay. He was the only one who could call the House of Representatives to order with pen-knife. Politeness and suavity are evidence of weakness. Hear it, young men.

THf LOUItGEK the next picture. He comes at the wrong time and stays too long. The speaker then drew the contrast between entertaining cheerful friends and enduring the unmitigated bore. The greatest bore is the man who always speaks, always has the floor in prayer-meetings and public gatherings. It don't make any difference about his delivery, lie most speak ior bust.

They have not as much darkness to see as many others. Samuel Boyce perished a desolated home, i Richard Savage died in prison after eight years of incarceration. Crabbe wandered homeless on the streets. Fielding, who delighted the world with Jones, was buried a pauper without a stone to mark his grave. Samuel Butler, the author of lludibra, starved to death.

Tasso begged fo the light of a cat's eye because he had no candle, the greatest of Italian poets (was refused admission to the hospital which, his genius had built Weatley was stoned, Milton was blind, and Yonngfs Night Thoughts were the gems that glittered on the graves of nis aarung children, mere a no eye a in or WHOLESALE RETAIL DEALER ET ICE I Wagons Deliver in.

The "boss," as well may be supposed, is a dignitary "of the deepest dye," and there is no record of his ever having been accused of keeping an unhealthy house.

The small-pox mill (or Chinese boarding house), is quite commodious enough to accommodate about seventy or eighty people. When these figures are multiplied by ten, however, it is no wonder that the premises become fervid with unhealthy heat, and the air putrid with the reeking filth, stench and corruption. And when the gentle west winds waft the deathly odors froni this sweltering brothel of celestial corruption, over upon and among the white people of East Oakland, why should they not complain? THE DANGER FROM FIRE Is iu itself no small matter, for the Chines have chimneys, emptying from their fires in close proximity to sheds and other buildings. In the immediate neighborhood there are costly dwellings, and even Tubbs' Hotel is not free from the danger of being consumed by flames onginaung irons a spars, snai is uaoie as i .1 a any hour to be blown trpon it from the infected region.

In answer to many inquiries at the office of the City Superintendent of Schools, it has been announced that Superinteudent-Xodd left for Chicago with the Knights Templar last Tuesday. Although he did not ask permission from the Board of Education, he notified the President that he intended to leave. Section 19, of an Act to establish and define the powers and duties of the Board of Education of the City of Oak land, approved March 14, 1868. and amendatory thereto, approved March 1, 1872, reads as follows Sec.

19. If the Suoerintendent of Dub- lic schools) or any member Of the Board of Education, shall remove from the city, or absent himself therefrom for more than thirty days, except by permission of the Board, or shall fail to qualify as prescribed by law, within ten days from the time his election is duly ascertained and decided, his office shall be thereby absolutely vacated, and the Board shall thereupon pro ceed to fill the vacancy until the time of the next ensuing charter election. It will thus be Seen that unless Mr. Todd returns within thirty days he will be displaced permanently; Meanwhile the schools are running successfully, the able corps of Principals and assistants being fully competent to manage the various details arising in the department. THAT CHINESE CAR.

What the Ralload Company's Attorney Says. An effort has recently been made to induce the Railroad Company to put a car on the local trains in which only Chinamen should ride, and to compel them to ride only in such car. It was urged that the present existing state of affairs at the Jute Mills, and the fact that many Chinamen escaped the quarantine, such precaution. The matter was fully considered by the Company, and their attorney, Judge Sanderson, gave an opinion regarding the subject, Superintendent Towne says that the Company are ready and willing to do anything in their power for the peopla of Oakland, and hope that the people will not insist upon this as by law the Company would be clearly liable in heavy damages, if they insisted that people of any particular race or color should ride in any particular car on the trains. The Burlingame treaty says clearly, that the people of China in the United States shall have all the rights of people of the most favored nations.

Tbe United States Bills of Rights allows no railroad com-panyjto make any distinction among its passengers, on account of race or color, and if this Company were to make any distinction, it would have more law suits on its hands in a short time than the Courts could well dispose of.

The Library JSntertalament. At Germania Hall last evening there was quite a numerous attendance at the musical and literary entertainment and social dance, given in aid of the Library Fond of the Oakland Guard. Hon. F. M.

Campbell, who was down for the opening address, was obliged to go to Sacramento yesterday afternoon, and D. S. Hirshberg was sabstitated. Among the choice parts on the programme were recitations by the. Higgins a cor net solo by Prof.

D. Smith, guitar fantasie by Prof. Porrego, a ballad by Alfred J. jShare, and songs by Miss Carre True. All 'were received with warm applause.

Miss Ida Mohrig, who was on the bill, was said to have been suddenly taken ill. The announcement was a disappointment to many in the audience who had attended especially to hear her. After the literary and musical' part was coocluded, the floor was cleared and about eighty couples joined in the dance. The entertainment, it is believed, will net over $10Q-for the Gaard's 1 mi- 1 -fa. 1 Dsfemd Naptlals.

Dr. Talmage yesterday afternoon addressed tbe you eg ladies at Mills Seminary for an hour in his most delightful manner. The teachers and pupils were charmed, snake one time, and kept ion killing it until a man came along and said: "What are yon killing it for so many times, it is dead?" "Yes," said Pat, "I know it is, but it isn't sinseless." Laughter. THJERK ARC MORE PRIZES IK LIFE THAN BLANK. There are forests of pippins to one crab apple tree.

A man may be bdrn with forebodings and melancholy temperament, but he must give way. Responsi bilities can be shifted from shoulder to shoulder. Men make religion look gloomy, but it is a mistake. A Christian should be cheerful of! all men. A man who is bright in his store will go to a prayer meeting and make a speech which would melt an undertaker to tears.

A doleful brother was asked to speak in a Sunday School, Not one man in a tbousaud has the genius to talk to children. He said: My dear children, sh will speak a few wofSs. We are all sinners; ah? I was going down the road once, and what do yon' think I saw, dear children? 1 Baw a blue jay. And what do you think I did? ah! I tore his feathers out Oh, I was a great sinner. I was going down tbe street the other day, dear children, and what do you think I saw? I saw a Christian man with a hddle.

I Laughter. 1 I said, my dear brother; ab, do you know you're hddlede faddleing your soul to destruc tion? And what do you think he said, why, "go to grass yon old spooney, ah." There was ns religion in that Despondency is the worst feeling a man can have. God knows we cry enough, and the world is hard enough without making it worse. If we couldn't laugh and play, work would be a drudgery. Good cheer carries off three-fourths Of Our trouble.

Did you ever know a man who volunta rily eats late at night to take a cheerful view of things? A man was rushing down Wall street at five minutes to three with a note to py, and had not the funds. He ran against a man wbo said, "Who are you rushing against; if you do that again, I'll knock you into the middle of next week." He replied, "I wish you Would." Laughter. 1 he man who takes lobsters at eleven to-night will see his grandmother and three maiden aunts in coalscuttle bonnets, and will have the blues in the morning. He buys his nightmare and it runs away with him. God gave um the juicy pear and the tender steaica ana the canvass-back duck, but they mnst be taken in moderation.

If a civil war breaks out between the stomach and the brain we have to settle the war debt LACK OF EXERCISE Is a source of depression. It is a mis take that sudents only need (exercise, Everybody wants a change. Take plenty of out-door exercise. I believe you do it in I see it in Your bright faces, in your school children and your students. If you have a horse-, take care of him, groom him and then get on and let him prance and run and pass everything on the road, and come home with a good appetite-.

There is something wrong with a man who don't have horse. A man who will ill-treat a horse ought to be kicked by a mule. Have you a pair Of skates But no, you don't Bkate here, but maybe you'll Come to see us and try the invigorating exercise. (The speaker here drew a vivid description of the delights of skating, and followed it with lively picturing-, of base ball, hunting and fishing. I recommend amuse-ments.

We will soon have to meet the question ia our churches. Despondency degenerates into peevishness and people get touchy. They don't know what is the matter with them, and get to com plaining. Ihis thing is not only true in social life, but it RUXS INTO POLITICS. There are Republican and Democratic and Greenback hypocondriacs, who say the country is going to destruction.

I've heard this ever since I was five years old. It has never gone yet It never will. No party can rnin it. Our country depends not upon parties but upon the i arm of the ever living God. Applause.

Let there be no bigotry in State or Church. I acknowledge any I man as a patriot who loves his country whatever be his party or politics, There should be more sauvity in politics. I Men can be polite in talking politics without getting mad. A man was driving a cow, and it turned up the wrong lane, be shouted to another man, "Head her off." He replied, "She has a head;" "Turn her." "She's right side out nor." "Well speak to her." "Good morning. Miss." He was polite even to a cowj We can be polite to dogs, and cows and men.

There is no reason for getting blue about the future of our country. Under the arm of tbe Eternal God, Truth and Liberty and Justice shall yet triumph over all their foes. The speaker in his peroration said he once witnessed the most superb combination of GRANDEUR AND CALAMITY This nation has ever known: the burning of the Smithsonian Institute, where were collected the rarest gems of purest art, and the curiosities of adventure in all lands and climes. Saw the first glare of the tire peer through the windows of the massive pile, the maddening greed of the devouring monster hurl the treasures of the nation Into the abyss of flames beneath, the fiend with eyes aglow, with eyes of fire, glare demon like, and fly back to th" work of destruction; the tower wrapped in flames as it kissed the skies, fade into- the gloonof a whirlwind of smoke, as the long red streaks of withering fire trembled into the shadow of dire destruction, and he saw id gorgeous contra it the milk-white dome of the Capitol like the marble of the East come to resurrection in the light of heaven. No flash of excitement in its cold white veins, not a tremor in itsl majestic columns, but built to endure jwhile the world shall stare.

The time Will come when man shall be consumed and THE WORLDS WILL BLAZK. Not one tower will be not one city un consumed, forests will be disman tled, seas licked up in a moment of time, continents and islands will be annihilated, bat from amid the roar and ruin of earth by the light of uplifted eternal torches we shall behold white and pare its everlasting resurrection, the Tem- Ele ot Truth, Liberty and Justice. No aide of human hate shall blacken its silvered waits and golden turrets. No wrath shall rack its foundations, rend its massive colonnades, or cause to totter its! throne of eternal dominion; Heaven and- earth shall pass away, bnt truth and liberty and justice shall never pass awajy.

The human face is well adapted for everything around us: the eye to scan tbe beaatiea and encompass the grandeur spread before us, even the nose is admirably adapted to its many uses: it has two full scops, and is useful in com-login content with so many nuisances.

To one mile of rapids, there are hundreds of miles of gentle flowing waters. Water lilliea are anchored in sleeping beauty. -Hills coming down to Itathe their feet in the living stream. On it's a splendid world, though people denounce so. Instead of denouncing this beautif ul world and this grand age, get down on your knees and thank God yon are alive, I'd rather live ten years hen now than five hundred in the tine ef Methuselah.

Isn't it wonderfel that in such a bright world there are so many disagreeable people. There are no fisagTeeable people here; you are not the people I refer to. The husbands in this audience are all what they ought to be. When tbe wife wants money he says: take my parse, help yourself to what yon want, and if you need more, Seme again." The wives are all good eo. They greet their hubands with a smile when they eome home, and say: Here are your slippers, dear, pat up vonr feet bv the fire.

Bless the man. And your brothers yon all prefer your own sisters to any other fellow's sisters. Laughter. No where are there so many amiable people as ourselves, and that is why I wih you to take a walk with me tnigbt through the. rogues' gallery of disagreeable people.

They go in; the orchestra warbles, and weeps, and thunders and prays; the breathings of the cornet fill the air, and the shak ing of tbe flower-bells drop from the tamborine. It is thrilling in beauty, and he says Did you see that fat man with a red face who got so hot playing on the trombone His wife says, "How can yon say snch He replies, "Ob, yon 're satisfied with everything."

The place itself is an eyesore, not only to the people dwelling in the neighborhood, but also to all who have occasion to visit East Oakland, as it over hangs the creek and is in plain view from Twelfth street Eighth street bridge and the Railroad bridge.

Again, most of the buildings belonging to the Company are merely frame building, liable to catch fire in the future, as they have been burned in the past and peculiarly dangerous from the fact that they are crowded with thsr-Company's Chinese employees; and since the prevailing winds here sweep from the factory over thickly-settled portions of East Oakland containing numbers of dwelling-houses and a large hotel, the gravest apprehensions are entertained of the results in case of another fire. THE GREATEST EVIL. But the presence of the Chinamen is a still more senous matter. Seven hundred men of any kind crowded together is not likely to be productive of health in the neigh borhood, and when these men are Chinamen the danger is greatly increased owing to their well-known filthy habits. But it is now no longer an anticipated danger, for within the past week disease has made its appearance among these people, and numbers of them have been stricken down with small-pox.

Measures have been taken to prevent communi cation between the factory and the rest of the town, but the only result is to create a pest-house in the midst of a populous community. THIS RECEXT BRRAKtNO OCT 0 SMALL-POX Is bat the climax in the list of dangers threatened and disturbances caused by the existence of the Pacific Jute Manufactory in our midst, all of which justify us in pronouncing it a public nuisance, and in respectfully petitioning your Honorable Body to take measures for its abatement as such. And ypur petitioners will ever pray. Hiram Tubbs, Benj. Haynes, Wm.

Hall, And 28 others. THE OTHER PETITION Reads as follows. The undersigned property-owners and residents of Oakland would respectfully request your Hon orable Body to declare a nuisance the property situated at the corner of Second avenue and Xast Tenth street, known as the Pacific Jute Factory owned and operated for the benefit of the Pacific ute Manufacturing Co. for the reason that employed in and around said factory are some 700 or 800 Chinese, who reside on the property, in the same dirty, crowded and unhealthy manner customary with that class of people. The excrement from this largs number in such compact quarters poisons the sir, and renders unsafe the health of all residents in the vicinity.

The prevailing winds sweep all poisonous gases emanating from these people over Kast Oakland, rendering us liable to the various diseases having their origin in such causes. The thoroughfares connecting East Oakland with Oak land pass near the buildings complained of, causing every person passing either way annoyance. If you cannot find law enough to abate the nuisance by having the works re moved, we wonld respectfully request that the same steps be taken against, these Chinese that would be taken were people of other nationalities tbe aggressors.

L. Newson, D. Masch, D. Bailey, And many others. DIAGRAM.
