When spring, like Raleigh, flong hi« cloak
For her email foat’s light treading,
The stripling larches fresh buds broke,
And pennon leaves 'gun spreading.
The vassal sun, his glory shedding,
In cloth of gold drest humblest folk
When spring, like Raleigh, flung his cloak
For her small foot’s light treading.
The loyal birds shrill homage woke,
And daisies,bumble field flowers heading,
Curtsied and bobbed beneath an oak
Decked out as for a r,oyul wedding
When spring, litfb Raleigh, flung his cloak
For her smull foot's light treading.

A MAN FROM OHIO.
Mr. Longley's mistake, the mistake
Of his life,-grew out of his first mistake,
which was in ever coming to California.
He was agent for the PacifieRiteamship
company prior to his occupying a simi
lar position in a great lakes company.
He had never seen the ocean until he
came to Monterey. But he didn’t think
much of it—not after the lakes. Of the
people he thought even less.
He used to go over to the telegraph
office where Carpenter was, and there,
on a pile of blue butter boxes, air his
mind pretty freely concerning “these
infernal greasers.’’ Longley wasn’t a
bad fellow back in Ohio, bat out here
he could not or would not shake into
place. He was going back, when he had
a stipulated sum saved, to marry the
prettiest girl in Ohio. Meantime he
chafed and fretted at his chain.
One of the first things he did had
gained him the ill will of all the loung
ers in the crooked little street. Benito,
4 years old, came running to him. Ev
ery one adored Bonito, for the Spanish,
are baby lovers aud not in the least
ashamed to show it—Benito, with lovely
crimson cheeks and great, velvety black
eyes. Dirty? Oh, so dirty, but also so
charming. Just as he reached the hom
bre grande, lie tumbled flat, and the
“great man” calmly put out his foot
and lifted Benito out of the way on the
toe of his boot. They all saw that—
Manuel, Francisco, tho Moreno boys,
Jose Erron, all—for they wero sitting in
front of Charley 'Rodrigues's saloon,
keeping a wary eye out for possible
whales in the bay. Bonito ran howling
to them, and the wound his vanity had
received was healed with candy and soft
words. But it would have been well for
Mr. Longley if that had never happened.
The Spanish mamma is an excellent
matchmaker, and very seldom has any
old maids on her hands. Sha takes ad
vantage of that contrary little twist in
a man’s nature which makes'him want
what is just out of liisreaeh. So Ysabel,
or Carmelita, or Dolores, as the case
may be, is sedulously guarded by the
mother, who makes certain thut her
daughter is never alone with any young
man a moment Mr. Longley said often
he did not care,a pin fox their customs.
He was from Ohio and brought his own
code of ethics and etiq.netto, which these
greasers were obliged to trim to—not he
to fit to theirs. No, sir I So, in line with
these sentiments, he told Carpenter one
day that he was going to take Julia Es-
tudille to the Thanksgiving ball.
“Have you asked her mother?” in
quired the cautious Carpenter.
“I don’t intend to, ” replied Mr. Long
ley. “I haven’t asked the girl yet, but
she’ll jump at the chance to go with a
white man. Say, she isn’t a bad looking
girl for a g----- . ’’
“Look outl” interrupted Carpenter,
"you uro a little too handy with that
epithet. And you intend taking tho
girl alone?”
“Alone!” said Longley firmly. “No
old duenna tags mo around. ”
“You’ll get yourself in trouble sure,”
Carpenter warned. “If you’re not sand |
bagged at tho baile or assassinated be
fore the baile—mark my words—they’ll
rope you into marrying the girl. ”
Mr. Longley slapped himself on his
chest aiid gave his friond to understand
that he had not journeyed all the way
from Ohio to have his life cut off in its
flower and prime by the hand of ay as
sassin, nor did he leave the prettiest
girl in “the states” to come out here to
marry one of these “Spanish beauties”
and for the rest of a fevered existence
strive to keep enough frijoles und tortil
las in the larder to feed her and her
4,000 relatives. “Don’t you worry over
Longley. He can take care of himself, ”
was his parting adjuration.
•
•••••
Lured by tho sound of viol, flute and
bassoon, or, to bo exact, accordion, two
guitars and a fiddle, Carpenter stole
away from the office to peep in at the
Thanksgiving ball. The long hall was
brilliant with keroseue lamps and gay
with palms and flowers. Longley was
there with his Julia. A quadrille had
just ended, and the men were rushing
about for new partners. When not
dancing, the girls all sat at one end of
the room, looking demure and pretty in
their white frocks, w-ith roses in their
black hraids. Facing iheni on ««long
bench sat the duennas gossiping and
smoking, but each keeping an un
wearied eye upon her particular charge.
Longley caught sight of Carpenter
•nd came hurrying out. “You see I
brought her, ” he said.
"And her mother?” asked Carpenter.
"Mother nothing! You want t> hear
how I did it?” and Longley unfolded a
tale that made Carpenter gasp.
"Well, my son, if you really did this
—persuaded that foolish girl to climb
cut of the window and go with you un
known to her mother—I don't know but
what you deserve your fate. Yon know
too mush over to take advice, hut I 11
give you this piece, so I won't liave you
on-my canscience as not having doae
•11 I could. Don't go home the tins’
way you came, and, if it wunme, I'd
walk backward every step of the way.'
Longley waved the advice lightly
from him and hurried back to Jalia.
••••••
The next time tho friends ni"t was at
Longley’s wedding, four wet ks sfter
the Thanksgiving ball. Longley looked
weak and pale. Carpenter judged be
had hardly recovered from the gsrrot-so
that had laid him low as be was lionet-

ciwsion of the brain. Part of the time
he wfc unconscious. He had strange
dn am«. The bare little chamber was a
prison cell, and Julia was tiZjailer. He
dreamed he clamored for Kitty—Kittv
lewk in Ohio—that is, he thought “Kit
ty and struggled to say it, to scream
...
**’kc" wosd turned to
Julia
lie strove, he fought, strug
gling as a drowning man struggles for
breath in the water, to call for Kitty.
He was not Julia’s, he was Kitty’s.
That kept floating back and forth in
his brain like a pieoe of kelp sloshing
to and fro in tho fide.
When he got the kinks stTaighteued
out hl his head, ho found that they had
finished calling the banns for him and
Julia, and that they were preparing for
the wedding to take place as soon as he
could stand.
The thing was monstrous, without
doubt, but what could be done? Carpen
ter was the only one who would^even
try to interfere, and he could do nothing.
Jtllia elbthed herself in stupidity, and
against that impenetrable armor Car
penter battered in vain. The mother, of
course, understood so word of English;
so it was useless to appeal to her. And
there they had poor, conceited, rattled
Longley fast.
Tho marriage could not take place in
the church, as Longley was not a Cath
olic. The priest did not approve and re
monstrated with Senora Estndillo in re
gard to fhis impious alliance with a
heretic. “Valgame Diosl” she said,
with a despairing shrug. “What would
you? Those of the true faith will not
work, and there are seven of us and
nine of the family of my sister. Would
you have us starve?” It is a sad thing
that religion must give way to matters
of expediency. The dollar dominates
even in slumberous old Monterey.
Carpenter, with a grim line round his
mouth, wondered ss he stood watching
the priest’s genuflections if Longley
was reealling any of his somewhat in
temperate remarks about priests and
greasers. He looked white enough, as
he stood limply by bridal robed Julia,
to be recalling the sins and misadven
tures of a bad life a century long.
Longley never did get to looking
“right peart”—he began work too soon.
He worked early and he worked late,
for were there not 19 blood relatives, and
28 collaterals, also the blood relatives
of the collaterals, and all big eaters?
But it is an unwritten law that yeu are
not expected to clothe the collaterals or
their relatives.
A dozen or so would comedown from
Tassajara, another dozen from Tres
Pinos, and there "visit” three or four
weeks at Longley’s in the most perfect
amity. Being bnt human, Longley
would occasionally raise Cain and the
roof, but as most of his swarthy rela
tives were surprisingly destitute of a
knowledge of English his revolts were
ineffectual.
They had parties.every Sunday night,
and to the strains of ini accordion and
three or four guitars they would fairly
dance the lint out of the floor and walls.
In the old unfettered days that which
had met with Longley’s most unquali
fied scorn were these very Sunday night
dances.—Edith Wagner in Argonaut.
Electric Fencing.
Lover« of fencing will be interested
in an invention which has jnst been
tried in London, and which is said to
do away altogether with the difficulty
constantly experienced by ail umpire in
judging hits between two equally
matched competitors. This end, it is de
clared, has teen achieved by covering
the front of each jacket with fine copper
or brass wire gauze, and connecting this
with the adversary’s foil and an electric
bell (of the burglar alarm pattern) and
battery iu the same circuit. It follows
that when a hit is.made the circuit is
closed, and the bell rings and continue»
to ring until stopped by the person in
charge. A special arrangement in each
foil handle provides that only a direct
point produces a ring. Two entirely
electrically distinct circuits are used,
each including a bell, foil und jacket;
flicks or blows or grazes produce no re
sult. The bells being at different tone«,
and, moreover, placed on opposite side«
of the room, there is no difficulty in de
ciding who has scored a hit, or, in cases
of almost simultaneous hits, who deliv
ered the point first. By a simple ar
rangement the wires passing from the
batteries to the combatants’ ool.ars arc
kept well out of the way, however sud
den may be their movements of advance
or retreat In the London trial -«x se
