The Well Water Ajfitation.
Instances are not wanting where
Ajseases of one kind and another in cities
have been traced to pump water. Yester
day we published an article from the New
York Medical Register giving several in
stances where it was proved beyond ques
tion that the violence of cholera epidem
ics was wholly due to impure water. In
1864 the cholera suddenly attacked a num
ber of persons in Berwick, a sub-district
of London, who were in the habit of using
water from a pump in their neighborhood.
The epidemic was confined to the imme
diate vicinity of that pump. The history
of cholera shows the Importance of pure
water in such a marked degree that sani
tarians cannot afford to overlook it. It
may be that no cases of disease have been
traced to the pumps in this city,
and that persons have grown fat
drinking pump water, but who
has undertaken to trace diseases to them ?
It is a fact that diseases that are caused
by poison of some kind, such as malarial,
typhoid and other kinds of fevers and
diphtheria, prevail here at times. Who will
say that pump water is not to some extent
responsible for these diseases? Who will
deny that if investigation had been made
it would have been discovered that pump
water caused the most cases of them ? A
failure to answer the question, Who has
died in this city from disease caused by
drinking well water? ought not to quiet
apprehension in any one’s mind. Some ol
the wells may contain water but slightly
contaminated, and those who are
strong and healthy may experience no
ill effects from drinking it. Their sys
tems throw off the poison. But bow is it
with the weak and sickly, and particu
larly if they get their water supply from
wells which contain a great deal of pois
onous matter? Will thev not yield to the
effects of the poison after awhile? Those
who have been using pump water for
many years may continue to use it with
out being strongly conscious of any ill
effects. Their systems have become satu
rated with the poison, but the chances
are that it will shorten their lives even ll
it does not cause them serious sickness.
A person may take arsenic or morphine
in small doses for a long time, but either
will destroy his health eventually, and
finally cause his death. Persons who
have not been accustomed to drink the
pump water of this city would very soon
realize, probably, that there was some
thing wrong with them if they should be
gin drinking it, unless they were remark
ably stroDg and healthy. If they escaped
serious illness the bad effects of the water
would not be so apparent perphaps after
their systems became somewhat accus
tomed to the poison. People may treat
with indifference, and even contempt, this
talk about pump water, but if they will
think a moment they must ad
mit that it is a serious matter.
The only authority they have rela
tive to the condition of the water
is the doctors. What do they
say about it? Do they not say that it is
contaminated—that it contains poisonous
matter? Were not the tests of the condi
tion of the water, made by one of the most
trusted physicians of the city, and re
ported to the City Council in the presence
of the assembled physicians, absolutely
convincing? Those tests showed that the
water in all the wells is bad, and in some
of them very bad. The water from the
pump near the cemetery and from the one
in Forsyth Park showed the presence of
more poisonous matter than any
other that was examined. Of course the
Council intend to do something about
this well water business. They probably
tbink they cannot do all that should be
done at once. They will show wisdom by
delaying as little as possible. There are
difficulties in their way, of course, but
the greater the difficulties they overcome
the greater the credit to which they will
be entitled. They will confer a great
blessing on Savannah by shutting off well
water and introducing a satisfactory
vault system.
Lightning Casualties.
A couple of weeks ago the Insurance
Chronicle contained some interesting
facts relative to the number of suicides
in this country. In its last issue it pre
sents some valuable information respect
ing lightning strokes. In this immquiate
vicinity thunderstorms have bden more
frequeut than usual this summer, and
the thunder has been heavy and the
lightning sharp. In this State a number
of people have been killed since June 1
by lightning, and many buildings, of one
kind and another, destroyed- The records
of the Insurance Chronicle have not, of
course, been made up for the
present year. The records, how
ever, show' that in 1888 lightning caused
217 important fires in the United States
and 274 in I*B3. There is no doubt that
the number for the present year will be
much greater than for any previous
year, because thunder storms have
been unusually frequent and severe up to
the present time, and it is not improbable
that August will show a goodly number
of thunderbolt casualties. According to
charts prepared by the Insurance Chronicle
for 1882 and 18S3, lightning strokes are
chiefly confined to the region of country
north of the Ohio river and east of the
Missouri river. In the two years 85
per cent, of the strokes were in that re
gion. It seems that lightning strokes are
rather uncommon in the South, except in
the three States of Louisiana, Texas and
Georgia. The two principal centres of
electrical disturbance are in New Eng
land and the Northwestern States. Of
the lightning casualties, two-thirds oc
cur in the summer and one-third in
spring and autumn. With reference to
the character of property that is destroyed
by fire caused by lightning the Chronicle
.says: “The property subjected to this
destruction is mainly situated in the rural
regions, and embraces barns, dwellings
and churches. The question has been
asked a number of times why lightning
should show tbe remarkable preference
that it does for barns and granaries. One
explanation to this phenomenon by a
Western underwriter was to the effect
that the hay and grain, with which they
are stored, or the vapor arising from grain
in a damp state, was the attracting influ
ence. But it is difficult to accept this
theorv. since lightning is most festive in
July, during whioh month barns and
granaries are generally empty. Again,
when they are filled with fresh grain, as
in the autumn months, there is no evi
dence that lightning is more common
than in the spring.”
Mr. A. O. Bacon, of Macon, and Mr.
Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, were among
the speakers at the Manhattan Club re
ception in New York on Thursday night
last. Mr. Bacon, in the course of his re
marks, said that the Democratic party
was a party of principles. It has always
stood by the principles of the fathers.
Continuing he said:
We of the South are most forcibly re
minded of this. We could have got spoils
by selling out our loyalty. Our young
men have been tempted in every way to
desert their faith, but—honor to them for
it—they never wavered.
Mr. Walsh felt sure that the voice of the
American people was speaking for Cleve
land’s election.
No man, he said, could say that Cleve
land’s nomination was the result in any
measure of machine politics. So far as
the South was concerned his nomination
was the result of a spontaneous convic
tion that be was the man tor the hour. All
sectionalism should be buried and the
country stand upon such a platform as tbe
Democratic party presented. All honest
men, irrespective of party, could stand
upon that platform, vote for its nominees,
ana feel that with Gov. Cleveland they
would have honesty of reform in the ad
ministration of the country.
The brig Mississippi recently arrived at
Baltimore from Demerara in ballast, not
having been able to procure a cargo of
sugar. The ballast was of pure, white
sand, and the Captain of the brig sent
sixty miles from Demerara for it, rather
than take loam, which, he feared, might
contain disease germs. If the masters of
all vessels should be as careful, the spread
of disease by shipping would be a very
rare occurrence.
A fashion note says the latest Paris bat
is called “Henry the Second on a Jour

demijohn all broke up.
CURRENT COMMENT.
Found a Mare’s Nest.
Baltimore American, ( Pep.).
In fourteen sentences of his address to the
Democratic Committee, Gov. Cleveland used
“I” sixteen times, “me” six times,“my" seven
times, “we” seven times, “us” three times,
and “our” four times. And yet, one of Mr.
Cleveland’s most distinguished traits Is his
“unassuming modesty.”
An Effective Defense.
Boston Pott {Bern.).
The g N>d people of Buffalo who have twice
rallied around their distinguished son—Gov.
Cleveland—will stand by him now with a
sturdy and unyielding devotion such as is un
known to the foul-mouthed gutter-snipes
and human Jackals who assail him. And a
majority of the voter* of the Republic will do
likewise.
Nice Presidential Responsibilities.

The arduous duties and the solemn respon

Round for tlie White House.
Louisville Courier-Journal (Dem.).
As for the Democratic nominee, each day
increa-es his strength and popularity. The
more his record is examined the more admir
able does it appear. He has been a faithful,
conscientious public servant, always sulior
dinating private interests to the public wel
fare. He is getting the support of all patri
otic men of every c ass. His face is firmly set
toward the White House and it is not thought
euen the most aggressive campaign can turn
him aside.

A strange epidemic among hogs is re

Moi.tke the Silent, as he is called, at 81 is

the streets of Berlin slowly and noiselessly.
Saluted by every soldier he meets, he returns
the courtesy, but apparently without noticing
to whom, and everywhere he retains the cold,
absorbed, mysterious manner which he did
not allow to be broken even at Sedan.
The case of Stephen Whitlock, who died in
Lyons, N. Y., recently, is a curious one. The
deceased during one whole day ate immense
quantities of peanuts, at the same time drink
ing copious draughts of ice-cold water. The
next nay he continued eating peanuts and
cherries and drank more ice water. In the
evening he returned home, when he was sud
denly taken with intense pains in the stom
ach, and from that time his case grew more
and more helpless, until death. It was found
that his stomach had burst.
The best dressed woman at Atlantic City is
said to be Her wardrobe is supe
rior in quantity and quality to any other at
the seashore, and probably is not equaled in
the United States. She never puts on the
same dress twice in a season at one resort,
though she will go through with the wardrobe
again to Saratoga. The job ought to bring a
reward to her vanity, for certainly it is ardu
ous. She rarely rests while on parade, but
walks Incessantly on the verandas and through
the corridors of her hotel. She is thus afoot
four hours without intermission. The taste
shown in her garments is excellent, and all
arc beautiful as well as costly.
According to a writer in the Cincinnati En
quirer a eollege for monkeys has been estab
lished in London by a half dozen evolutionists
and naturalists of the very advanced school,
who are attempting to teach the monkeys to
talk, or at least to express their wants. The
method is by letter blocks, and when the pupil
picks out the correct letters and forms a word
he is given a prize in the shape of something
good to eat. Thus there is continual incentive
to learn. However, should these animals
learn to pick out tlie letter forming some word
or series of words it will not prove them to
have been the progenitors of mankind. Dogs,
and even pigs, have long ago been taugbt as
much.
Traveling in the south of Germany one
finds, half hidden among the trees, scores of
tiny villages, the straw-thatched roofs of
which crowd round the village church.
Round these villages there is “a general dirti
ness and air of shiftlessness.” and though the
grapes and wine of ihe district may be cele
brated all over the world, it is evident that
poverty reigns supreme in these regions.
But the villager, in spite of want and dirt, is
well satisfied with his mode of life, which at
the best allows him to get rich enough to give
his daughters a few pieces of furniture at
their marriage, and to lay up a few shillings
for a rainy day- If he succeeds in doing this
he’s considered wealthy.
The loquat Is a fruit about the color of an
apricot, inches in length and 1 inch in di
ameter. The seeds are small and the flavor
like that of a cherry, delicate, sub-acid and
frood. A gentleman near New Orleans, who
uis trees 20 feet in height on his farm, de
clares that for eating fresh, for sauce and for
pies the loquat has no superior. The fruit
does not easily pull from the stem, and, in
order to ship a long distance, the stem must
lie cut so as to avoid breaking the pu'p. The
loquat is grown from see .s with the
greatest ease, also from cuttings and layers.
In form it is globular and 1‘ 4 inches in diame
ter. It begins to ripen in April and continues
until the first week in duly.
A correspondent in the Catskills says:
“The chief industry up here is producing
wood flour, a kind of cousin to wood pulp. It
was first manufactured in the Catskills about
nine years ago, and now over twenty mills
are in full blast. The process is exceedingly
simple. Any soft-wood tree—poplar is the
favorite —is felled and drawn to the mill. The
bark and boughs are remoyed and the trunk
put in a machine which is nothing but a lead
pencil sharpener on a large scale, with four
or more knife edges instead of one. The pro
duct is a soft, fine, yellowish white flour, simi
lar in appearance to a very well-ground corn
meal. It possesses a slight, woody smell and
is almost tasteless. It is put up in large bags,
and then is dispatched, unmarked, to the
buyer.
One hundred thousand United States sol
diers were massed under Gen. Sheridan in the
Southwest just after the war to induce Louis
Napoleon to let Mexico alone. Gen. Grant was
in favor of force. Secretary Seward couched
a diplomatic request to the French Emperor
in the politest terms. This angered Grant.
Gen. Ayres says he took dinner with Gen.
Grant that day, and he said hardly a word
throusriiout the whole repast. After it was
over they went out together to smoke, and
sat down on the parapet. Gen. Ayres gave
Gen. Grant a long black cigar, and he sat
down and puffed away, still silent. Finally
Grant blurted out a single remark: “I’m
down on Louis .Napoleon and Bill Seward,”
and this was the sum of his conversation for
that day.
A REMARKABLE SERVICE WHS held at Chi
chester, England, recently. In November
last, during a heavy thunder storm, the light
ning conductor to the Cathedral spire wasshat
tered, the building escaping with out injury.
The dangerous work of replacing the conduc
tor has just been completed without accident,
and at the close of the afternoon service the
Bishop of Chichester, Dean Burgon, Arch
deacon Walker and other clergv, followed by
the choir, proceeded from the Cathedral to the
siiot at which the conductor enters a well.
Here the choir chanted a psalm and sang a
hvmn. and the Archdeacon, Dean and Bishop
offered prayer. An address, founded on the
37th chapter of Job, was delivered by the
Bishop, and at the close a peal was rung on
the Cathedral bells.
One of the four spacious hanging stairways
that will afford access to the new Philadelphia
City Hall from the corners of the vast struct
ure is ready for the massive bronze balustrade
of handsome design which will be placed on
the outer edge of the steps. The stairway is
built entirely of Cape Ann granite. It has 156
steps and SO platforms, the average size of the
latter being 24x12 feet, which project from the
wall without api arent support. The steps
are tirmlv fixed in the wall a distanceof 1 foot
6 inches, and each block has a bearing of 1 :< *
inches on the step below. The first 3 steps are
cut solidlv from one block of granite. The
octagonal' form of the stairway permi’sof
the greatest strength and security being
attained. It is estimated that the cost of-the
stairway wi'l be aliout 1100.000. Similar
structures will be built in the other three
corners of the building.
Bather an imeresting case against M.
Munkacsy, the great Hungarian painter, is
pending in one of the Paris courts. Six years
ago M. Munkacsy was building himself a
house, and the tradesman who did the fur
nishing asked to be paid the *3,000 due to him
by a picture instead in cash. M. Munkac-y
took long credit, and only delivere t the pic
ture in the winter of 1862-S3; and the furni
ture dealer has now brought an aetion ou the
f round that the article is not up to warranty.
t seems, in fact, to he a mere sketch, as its
owner discovered when, hoping to realize
someof the enormous prices which he knew
were now given for “Munkacsys, 1 he took it
to a dealer the other day. The furniture in
the picture has no legs, and the features of
the figures are not indicated. An “impres
sion*’ by Munkacsy is, unfortunately, not
worth as much as one of his pictures.
Lord Mandevillf. is quoted as saying that
he observed a marked difference between the
gamblers at Saratoga and at European re
sorts. “On the other side,” he explained,
“the dealers only are imperturbable. Few of
the amateur gamblers make any effort to hide
their anxiety. Besides the tremulousness and
high color, which can only be prevented by
habitual self-control, they don’t try. as a rule,
to hold their tongues or steady their nerves.
Bound the roulette and black-and-white
tables at Baden-Baden I have seen quite a
hubbub. There’s no such thing here. There
is just about as much stolidity in front ot this
table as behind it. The heavy loser over there
has red hair; he’s naturally excitable in tem
perament, but he doesn’t let a muscle quiver,
though he’s dropped over *SOO m about as
many minutes. It is a characteristic of
Americans, at least of your city men, to keep
cool. You are a nation of Sir Charles Cold
streams.”
The history of the famous Eddystone light
house is a convenient epitome of the progress
of the art of building these edifices as it has
been developed in England. The first house
stood for five years, and was 6wept away by
a storm; the second, after a life of 48 years,
was destroyed by fire; the third, built by
Smeaton, in 1756, stood for 122 years, when it
had to be removed because the rock on which
it was built began to give way; the fourth,
designed by Sir James N. Douglass, was fin
ished two years ago. Its total height is 170
feet, exceeding its predecessor by 74 feet. In
height, indeed, it stands prominent among its
fellows, thongh the Sksrryvore house, eleven
miles from Tyree, a small island among the
Outer Hebrides, shows its light at a greater
elevation. The Eddystone, which may be
taken to represent the newest ideas of light
house arrangement, consists of ten stories,
arranged in the following order: Entrance,
oil rooms, store and coal room, crane and
store room, liTing room, low light room, bed
room, service room, the lantern being the
highest of all,* as the water tanks are, on the
other hand, the lowest.
A Long Branch correspondent writes:
“One of the most plainly dressed women in
the room was Lady Exmouth. She wore a
black lace dress over a canary-colored silk, cut
very decollete, and exposing a beautiful neck
and sloping shoulders. Loops of canary-col
ored ribbon, diamond ornaments, including a
necklace, and a huge bouquet of yellow roses,
finished her costume. Lady Exmouth is 32
years old, but she has not the freshness and
bloom of English girlhood nor the buxom ex
pansiveness of a British matron. She is rather
thin and pale, and if it were not for her way
of wearing her hair, cropped at the top and in
a Langtry knot at the back, would look more
American than English. Lord Exmouth is a
dapper little man, about the size of Sunset
Cox, with a bright eye. During the evening
the noble pair never moved from their chairs;
he sat on one foot, swinging the other, with
an eyeglass in his ocular, watching the dan
cers, and she alternately partook of a power
ful smelling bottle and tlie fragrance of her
roses. These emblems of the English aristoc
racy left last night for Saratoga, with openly
expressed disgust for Americans, though they
have only met two during their stay in the
hotel.”
There is a wondrous beauty at Long
Branch according to several writers. Her
name is Gloria Cespedes. She is a daughter of
Gen. Cespedes, who was killed about 14 years
ago in the Cuban revolution. Twins were born
to the widow a few months after her patriot
husband's death, and Miss Gloria is one of
them. She is descrilied as a most beautiful
specimen of the pure Spanish type. Her face,
while characteristic of her nationality, is
more regular and delicate in its features than
is usual among her countrywomen. Her hair
is et, her ejes large and lustrously soft, her
complexion rich and clear, and her expression
bright and amiable. Still more remarkable
than her perfection of head is her faultless
ness of figure, combining stateliness and grace
in both carriage and pose. Whenever she ap
pears among the dancers in a hotel parlor, or
the lounger. on a veranda, there is nothing
else to be looked at. She dresses in a childish
fashion yet. and not with any adherence to
Cuban styles; nor are her juvenile manners at
all affected bv the coquettishness common to
the girls of Cuba. Her fan is not used iu
tropical tricks, and her eyes seem to know no
other than honest witchery.
Among English Judges and barristers, says
Notes and Queries, there has always been a
strong prejudice against wearing hair on the
face, and until within the last few years it
would have been impossible to find a barrister
witli a moustache, and, I believe, no English
Judge for centuries has adopted this natural
hirsute appendage. No doubt this custom is
a survival of the days when “the priest all
shaven and shorn” was the principal lawyer.
We know the coif of the Sergeants-at-law
was designed to hide the tonsure. As an il
lustration of the judicial dislike to moustaches,
the following observations, which I heard at
the Sussex Assizes about six or seven years
since, when they were held at Brighton, may
be of interest. Lord Chief Justice Cockburn
said to a witness: “Witness, in consequence
of your having a moustache, I canuot hear
distinctly what you say. I don’t mean to say
that you should cut it off, if you think it an
ornament; but it prevents me from hearing
you. and you must, therefore, speak more
loudly.” It is somewhat singular that the use
of the wig is now confined to the Judges and
the bar, having been abandoned by the rest of
society; possibly, therefore, the artificial use
of hair on the lop of the head may be consid
ered to make up for the removal of the natural
hair from the face.

DR. KOCH’S MICROBE.
The Existence of the “ Comm* Shaped”
Bacillus Doubted.
In an article in Nature, certainly a good
authority, says the New York Times, some
doubts are expressed as to the existence
of a particular bacillus in cholera, desig
nated by Dr. Koch as a microbe. Dr.
Koch describes this bacillus as “comma
shaped,” and found in the discharges of
the cholera patient. In his report to the
German Government. Dr. Koch argued
that this bacillus, having found entrance
into the cavity of the intestines, “there
multiplies, and produces some ferment,
which, absorbed into the system, sets up
the whole chain of appearances consti
tuting the symptoms of cholera.” But. as
the writer in Nature argues, the alimen
tary canal is not the only passage through
which the cholera poison enters the
system, but that its entrance
through the respiratory organs is also an
established fact. The trouble of the ali
mentary canal, then, is a symptom of the
malady, and apparently only a symptom.
Dr. Koch has never found this comma
shaped bacillus in the blood or tissues.
The question at once hinges, apparently,
on this: Is -the cholera germ received by
respiration or by contact? If we are
properly informed, Dr. Koch is somewhat
careful about his hands when touching
cholera patients. In his bold researches
in presence of the actual plague, if ab
sorption of cholera by breathing an in
fected atmosphere would have given Dr.
Koch the disease he would have
taken it long ago. The writer
in Nature, undeniably proficient,
states that in examining the evacua
tions of patients who had been ill in Corn
wall of diarrhoea in 1883, in addition to the
ordinary micrococci and straight bacilli,
the comma-shaped ones were discovera
ble, and these were exactly like those
known as the Koch microbes. Microscoj)-
ists may have had their attention called
to Cohn, who, noticing curved forms,
classed them as vibrios. There can be no
wish to disparage Dr. Koch’s self-devo
tion and heroism; still, the subject of
cholera, and what may be the visible germ
of the disease, is so important a subject
that every possible light should be sought
for as to what might be the distinctive
character of this particular cholera ba
cillus, if any such special one does exist.
THE GREAT SMITH FILTER.
How a Gentleman of That Name Se
cures Pure Water for Faintly Use.
“I tell you, Smith, I’ve got this filtering
business down fine,” remarked an elderly
gentleman on the Nantasket boat within
hearing of a Boston Globe reporter.
“How do you do it,” asked “Smith,” de
positing a number of bundles on a camp
stool and lighting % cigar.
“Just this way. I took a common water
pail, and bored a lot of holes in the bottom
of it, about as large as 5-cent pieces.
Then 1 got my wife to make a tine muslin
bag, a little larger than the bottom of the
pail, and about an inch in height. Then
I filled the bag with some tine clear sand,
that I bought at a glass factory, and
placed it in the pail, pressing the edges of
the bag against the sides of the pail. Then
I poured in the water and it came through
as clear as a bell. Never saw anything
work finer. Of course, it’s nothing more
than a good strainer, but it takes out lots
of impurities, I tell you.”
“That is all well enough,” said Smith;
“but you can’t tell by the looks ot water
how good it is. It may be good to look at,
and yet full of substances more or less
injurious to health. I’ll tell you how I
made my filter. It’s perfect, I think, and
only cost about $2. I bought a common
galvanized iron pail for 50 cents. This I
took to a tinman and had him cut a hole
in the bottom and solder around it, on the
outside, a piece of tin about three-quarters
of an inch deep, so as lo direct the flow
of water in a uniform direction. Then I
got two quarts of small stones, at a store
where material for roofing is sold, and,
after a good washing, placed them in the
bottom of the pail, which they filled to the
depth- of about two inches. On these I
placed a partition ol Canton flannel, cut
to fit the pail. Over this I placed a layer
of animal charcoal, about the size of gun
powder grains, 6uch as is commonly
called bone-black. This layer I made three
or four inches thick, covering it with a
second partition. Over this I placed a
three-inch layer of sand, as clean and
line as I could get, and, covering it with
another partition, added another layer of
fine stones or shingle, about three inches
thick. This last .ayer served as a weight
to keep the upper partition in place.
That’s all there is to it. Careful as I was
in washing all the material, I knew
there’d be some dust left, which would
have to be washed through, and so I ran
fifteen or twenty bucketfuls of water
through it before using it. The next day
it was all right, and water comes through
it now freed from all impurities. It will
even take away the yellowish color to
water, something that is very difficult to
remove with ordinary filters. I renew
the filtering material’ anil also the par
titions at long intervals. It’s all nonsense
to talk about ‘self-cleansing’ filters. In
my opinion no filter should be used which
cannot be readily taken apart and
cleaned.”

“Yes, this is a fine evening,” remarked
a Broadway stage driver, as he put a

“Do these new cabs take away any of
your customers?” asked the passenger.
“No, none of ours, but they takes away
many from the reg’lar cabmen; but I
know of one cheap cabman who wished
he’d never been born.”
“Why, how is that?”
“Well, you see, he was drivin’ slowly
up Broadway, and who should get into
his cab but Vanderbilt. He told him
where to drive, an’ when he got to the
door Vanderbilt asked him how much
was the fare. ‘One dollar,’ says the
driver. ‘What! one dollar?’ says Van
derbilt; ‘is it possible!’ ‘Yes, one dol
lar, an’ don’t you forgit it,’ says the
driver, who was mad. ‘Well,’ says Van
derbilt, ‘I always paid ss,’ as he handed
the man a cart-wheel and went into the
house. Then the driver recognized Van
derbilt, ap’ was mad as blazes, for he
might have got a ten-dollar bill out of
him. So he gets down and kicks himself
black and blue, and then he bought a
razor and cut off his own ears. That’s a
fact, sir; 1 seen him without the ears.”

“THE ALCALDE.”
A Functionary of the Early West, nd
School Teacher Who Emulated Him.
The first Alcalde of Nevada City, says
the Boston Star, was elected by a voting
population of 250, but in many camps ten
or a dozen men chose this peculiar and
all-powerful officer, .giving him all the
powers granted under the Mexican and
earlv Spanish system. He became the
Judge of the village, the petty lord of the
tented town, and only the voice of the
people could bring his powers to an end.
Brief though the reign of the Alcaldes
was, it left a deep impress upon society,
as a story will illustrate. The writer
once knew a California school teacher, a
man of mighty muscles and great energy,
who had spent his boyhood in placer
mining in Siskiou, in cattle raising on the
Eastern Oregon uplands, and in Indian
fighting and wild prospecting tours along
the frontiers of British Columbia. When
the war broke out be rode for Mis
souri, crossed the lines, joined a
Virginia regiment, and came back so
crippled and battered that the old free,
careless life was impossible. Always a
great reader and a close student, he turned
to the school room and won a reputation
over three counties as a successful teach
er. Under these circumstances he was
called to take charge of what was, with
undoubted justice, called the worst school
in Northern California. The trustee had
written to him at his cabin, perched on a
pine clad height of the Sierra, trout
streams within a stone’s throw, grouse in
the woods, and deer and bear, his gun and
rod, his “Marcus Aurelius” and “Noctes
Ambrosiana” on the shelf within reach.
He saddled his horse, and, rising at day
break, reached the village, once a min
ing camp, before 9 o’clock. When sehool
was called to order he found that efficient
work demanded a reclassification, for the
previous teacher had tried to gain cheap
favor by advancing grades and skipping
the hard places, and had come to grief by
begging a large boy not to smoke a ciga
rette in school. The playful lads ducked
him in the adjacent stream, sousing him
up and down till he escaped, waded to the
farther bank, and sought other pastures.
But the new teacher was of sterner ma
terial.
“I shall have an examination to-day to
see where you belong, and must turn you
back in your grades it you deserve it,” he
said.
A loud murmur of discontent and al
most open rebellion followed. Nothing
abashed, the teacher made his first and
last speech. He took from the table a
book and addressed an older pupil:
“Do you know what this is?”
“Yes", sir: the school law.”
“And it defines the grades, and you all
think you have passed the examinations,
and that I can’t go behind the law?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Very well! Now you are quite mis
taken. I am the Alcalde of this school,
I am Sheriff, and Register, and judge and
jury, and absolute finality here.”
And with this revolutionary and com
prehensive statement he threw the school
law out of the window, and proceeded,
amid an awe-struck throng, to break up
and consolidate class after class, reorgan
izing the school on his own system.
ALMOST YOUNG MERMAIDS.
Girls of 12 and 15 Swimming Like Pro
fessionals.
The Misses Kate and Teresa Bennett,
says the New 7 Y r ork Times, have a swim
ming school at Fort Hamilton this season.
A long pier runs out to the spot where the
building is moored, just above the fort.
This was thronged a few evenings ago,
the gathering being made up for the most
part of ladies. At 4:30 o’clock a chubby
little girl in a pink costume and a thin
and taller girl in a dark blue suit came
out of the house and got into a skiff. The
first was Emma Rosenheim, the 12-year
old daughter of J. T. Rosenheim, the
President of the London Needle Compa
ny, and the other was Kate Kelly, 15
years old, both of this city. The boat in
which they took seats was pulled over to
Fort Lafayette, a quarter of a mile dis
tant.
The tide was running in pretty strong,
and there was considerable of a swell on,
but the girls did not hesitate. They
plunged boldly into the water and started
back for the baths. The tide was so
strong that it threatened to carry them far
above the baths, but they buffeted against
it and reached them in as good form as the
half-dozen men who accompanied them in
the water. The young swimmers w r ere re
ceived with loug-continued applause by
the ladies on the pier. The girls then
went into the ladies’ bath and gave an ex
hibition of fancy swimming. Kate Kelly’s
swimming underwater was something re
markable, while Emma Rosenheim, by her
precocity, amused the crowd for an hour.
She swam around the bath eating a
cracker without getting so much as a
drop of water on it. She reposed in the
water like a sleeping beauty, and received
a bouquet in the manner of a prima don
na, throwing kisses in return for it. Miss
Kate Bennett gave her an imitation cigar,
and this she stuck in her mouth, while she
put her fingers in the armholes of her cos
tume to represent Gen. Grant. She also
swam with her hands and feet tied.
Annie and Ellen, the daughter of Capt.
Jack Hussey, the life-saver of Castle Gar
den, also gave an exhibition of swimming.
The father of Emma Rosenheim, a very
jolly man, cannot swim, but her mother
is an expert swimmer. Eddie, the 10-
year-old brother of the little girl, can
swim three miles, and is wonderfully
clever at pulling an oar. The men in Mr.
William P. Bennett’s class are to swim to
Fort Wadsworth and back, about seven
miles, for the Bennett gold medal.

“I find PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER a WHOLESOME and
STRONG combination of PURE MATERIALS, entirely free from AM
MONIA, which is contained in almost all other Baking Powders, including
the‘Royal,’ in which I HAVE FOUND AS HIGH AS FIVE PER CENT,
of this unnecessary substance.”

PROTECTION.
Every housewife can try the “Royal,” or any brand of
Baking Powder, by placing the can, top down, on a hot stove till
heated. Remove the cover, and if there, she will smell AMMONIA.
After which she can change it for Price’s Cream that has nothing
base in it.
