The. recital . 'of terrible results of
the iant power explosion near Herke
ley. on Friday, productf-d- a 'profound
sensation in the community, and not
witlistanding the bad road and diffi
culties attending a trip to the scene
of the disaster, hundreds of people,
from this cit' and Oakland j'esterday
wended their way to the locality where
the calamity occurred. A visit to the
spot convinced those who went there
that such a scene of "disaster and ruin
could not be lully described in the
darkness and gloom which prevailed
ou Friday night. Yesterday the re
porter of the-'"Chronicle" paid another
visit to the ground -and gained addi
tional facts. Within ten feet of the
building destroyed was a magazine
built of . brick. With walls twenty
inches in'thickness, ami covered with
iron. rIhc explosion had rent by walls
asundetj and thrown a portion1 of them
down while the roof was raised up and
then fell back into the ruins.1 There
is stored here about 6,000 pounds ot
giant powder cartridges and it seems
wonderful thai they also did not ex
plode. To the westward of his point
were almost wholly -.'demolished. One
of those was s;iuilar in construction to
the one .destroyed, being made of
2x6-itich scantlings, firmly bolted-f
together, and haviug end walls of
brick td inches thick. It was used for
preparing -glycerine used" in the man
ufacture of cartri ljje.s. The wood
work of this structure was destroyed,
and walls thrown down. Further on
were some glycerine and acid tanks,
inclosed, in wooden structures, two
in number, both' of which were torn
to pieces.
Th reporter sawa number of men
women and bo$-Si searching the hill
sides, the ruin and adjicent marsh
laud and bay shore, picking up pieces
of flesh that had been torn from the
men killed, and putting them into
bags Or pieces ot matting and in boxes
At 10 o'clock the coroner took to Oak-
idand about 300 pounds of pieces of
human flesh and bones. The nearest
sembls.ee tohumanity found was the
body of a Ghiuaman, minus the head
and- one leg and a portion of the
lower part of the left side. Strange
to say, nearly all the pigtals of the
Chinamen killed were found uninjured
Some of them had pieces of the skin
of the skull attached, but nothing like
a human skull attacked, but nothing
like a human skull or even a piece ofrsembly, and ratified this the 29'Ji day

that he was goiiig to the power works

: Ine tVitfj Vvi(ue.
The reader has,' perhaps, been under
the galling examinations of some im
pudent, smooth-tongued lawyer. If so,
he can heartily appreciate the follow
ing. It occurred in a divorce suit in
one of our city courts.
A witeess for the defense wan call-
ea. lie was a young man, flashily
dressed, but his features had a sharp,
shrewd expression. ': ',!
The counsel for the plainthT examin
ed him thus:
TV hat do you know about this case?
I don't know much.
You don't eh? What did you come
here for?
Because I cou!i?h't help it.
What's your occupation?
I have no particular occupation.
You have not, eh? Well who do you
work for what kind of business are
you engaged in?
Well if you must know. I work for
Street & Walker ; my business is to
hunt for pleasure.
Now, here, young roan. Don't you
attempt to be witty or make any impu
dent remarks. You say rou have no
occapation, and that you loaf around
doing nothing. I suppose 3-ou are one
of the light- fingered gentry eh?
Well.; ah yes ; lama thief.
Oh you are. eh? I thought so the
moment I saw you. I can always tell
an honest man the moment I see h:m.
Now sir what do you mean by coming
here to testify -do you think honest
men will believe you?
Yes, I do. I have sworn to tell the
truth, but I did not tell you what kind
of a thief f am. I'm a thief of, a pe
culiar kind, a second Macawber, wait
ing for something to turn up. Fro-
castination is the thief of time, and as
I am a prccrastinator, I am therefore
a thiof of time, do yea see?
The lawyer did not see, but the au
dience 'did, and they laughed heartily
,to think the lawyer had been so sadly
taken in.
lb.3 lawyer drew himself up in a
dignified mann-or, and angrily said to
tuj witness: .
Yoa think ya aro.vry ;.lLty, .lever
jouiig man Uo n't yen? Yea must i.ct
think "tbt y'wU can ins".:.t, tu2 cov.rt
with impunity. I sha'.i have you im
prisoned for contempt of court if you
do net answer me truthfully. Now,
sir were you ever imprisoned?
The witness seemed unwilling to an-
swer. lne lawyer saia, impatiently.
Answer me sir !
I was, said the witness, slowly and
reluctantly. I
Ah ! you were,, eh? 1 thought so.
When and where, how long, and for
what?
When I was a boy, about ten years
old. Where? in the cellar. How
long? one day. For what? playing
hookey.
Now, sir, no more of this tomfoolery,
or you shall be imprisoned for con
tempt of court. Answer me truthfullyj.
sir. Were you eer imprisoned for
theft?
The witness hesitated.
I must have an answer. j.
I was, came slowly and reluctantly
from the witness' lips.
The lawyer smiled maliciously, and
said :.:.;. '
Ah ! I thought so. Let us have a
truthful account of it.
When I was a boy about eight years
old I was very fond of pears, but hav
ing no money to buy any, I occasional
ly borrowed soma from the orchard of
a ctertam lawyer. Of course I intend
ed to repay him, but one night : ha cap
lured me, and put me in prison for
debt. j j. .
Fray go on ; quite interesting ; the
beginning of all thieves, forgers, and
blackguards robbing orchards, very
pleasant pastime for small boys. How
many years did yoa stay in prison?
I was released the next day.
i
What ! do you mean to say that the
lawyer did not prosecute you. : I don't
believe that. J I
Exactly. He didn't prosecute, be
cause he was caujbt that very niht
borrowing somebody's horse without
permission and he was lynched.
The audience went in to roars of
laughter. When sdence wa restored,
the lawyer seemed to be satisfied with
what he had learned of the witness'
character, for his next question was :
Were you with the defendant in the
army during the late war? ; .
No, sir; I did not serve in the late
war. . - '-
On, of course yoa didn't. Fighting
for your country didn't agree with your
constitution
I deserve my country's gratitude,
nevertheless, for hare, single-hand
THY (iOD'S. D TIUTII S."
carried pn for many years a painful
atid disastrous civil war on a small
6cale against my mother-in-law, and I
have aiwaj-s had the satisfaction of
coming ofT vanquished. For this I de
serve my country's gratitude.
You arc just the kind of a man moth
trs-in-law ought to take care of.
On the contrary, my' mother-in-law's
great sorrow. is thajt I am not a lawyer
for then, says she,iIwou!d bo a limb
of the law, on whom she could lean for
support and protection. She likes
lawyers, Secause, she says, they resem
ble her in being so generous and ready
to interfere and adjust other people's
affairs.
The audience laughed heartily at
the hit at the lawyer. He sarcastical
ly said :
luai win to; i nave nothing more
to ask. I don't want to waste any
more time; your, testimony is worths
less and puerile. J
The witness was seated on a chair
four feet above the floor. He leaned
forward, and looked down at the law
yer and said : 1 4 j
Sir, you are beneath me? j
He then stepped down, am'id the up
roarious laughter of! the audience.!

The eccentric but brilliant John
Randolph once rose suddenly up hi
hi3 seat in the House of Representa
tives and screamed out at the top of
his shrill poice : ". -.'...'
'Mr, Speaker ! I have discovered

Tohn Randolph dropped many .rich
gems, rrora his mouth, but never a
richer one than that. ' - . :
' Pay as yon go," and vou uccd;not

"Ti:y as you go." and you can walk
the streets with an erect back and

3'cur ilngers at the world, r.r:d when
you laugh it will be an heart, honest
one. ; It seems to us, sometimes, that
we can tell the laugh of a poor debtor.
He looks as though he was in doubt
whether the laugh was not the property
of his creditors, and wad not included
in articles "exempted from attach
ment." When he does succeed in get
ting out an abortion he appears
frightened and looks as though he
would be pounced upon by a consta
ble. :
"Pay as you go'" and you will meet
smiling faces at home happy, cherry
cheeked children a contented wife

John Randolph was right.

philosopher's stone.
The International Recieio contains
the following account of the well known
Ne w York political organization known
as Tamrany Hall : The Tammany
Hall organization' consists of thiee
parts--first, the secret society known
as the 'Tammany Society, or Colum
bian Order which was founded in
1789, in the first rcosth of Washing

porated "in 1805 ; which erected' the
building on the corner of N-issaa and

Deir Sweet Ma: I am j dying

How bright have .tho anticlipations of

me dangerously ill iuntill yesterday. or
I should have summoned you to my
bedside that I might have tile satisfac

will say, "If I had been there, perhaps
my child would not have died," but I
wish to assure you tliat nothing could
hare been more tender aDtl j devoted
than the nursing I have received dur
ing my illness; and even had I been
at home wit b you, J could not have
received more devoted care than has
been constantly and unceasingly be
stowed upon me by Mrs. Thompson,
Mrs. King, Miss Lide, Dr. and Mrs.
Caldwell and Mrs. Glascock. I love
them all better than any one on earth
except you and tne others of niy dear
relatives, for they have been; to me
father, mother, ' brother and sisters,
and I wish you to ever remember them
for their love and kindness to me.
This is the fourth day of my illness, I
was taken with pneumonia, which ter
minated in congestion of the lungs I
know it will comfort your I heart to
have the assurance front me that I am
perfectly resigned to death and feel
satisfied that I will bo accepted at the
Throne of Grace. I feel that I will
meet you in Heaven, and jbat very
shortly I shall joinj my " dear father
there. Do not grieve fr me, j darliDg
Mother, and you, my dear sister, but

Dear little Helen,! I wish : I could

wills it otherwise, and I must sabmit
to His righteous decree. Tell her nott
to sorrow too deeply but to meet me
in Heaven. Dear Johnny, too, be
