THE SCHOOL QfESTIOX.
0 ———
A Scrap of History by the State School
Commissioner.
Kditmm flkwaiffe and Sentinel .*
It is often objected to our scho.il sys
tem that it was forced upon us—that it
was wot wdwutarilv adoptid by the peo
ple of Georgia. This statement is true
!so far as it has application to the incur
pr-tiow of the system into the fnnria
j mental law. The Constitution of 1868
was framed and adopted as the objector
ailegru. The Convention of 1868 was a
remarkable body. The journal lies be
fore me. From it I learn that there
were one hundred aud severity-two
member*. Os these twenty-two were
of Northern birth, and four of for
eign. Nineteen of the members came
I among ws after the close of the war, and
l«€ thews nineteen eleven were Northern
[awm. The better uortiou of the people
I >f tbe State had no confidence in a
large nwmber of the members who were
native bora. The number of negroes
fresh from the cotton aud rice fields I have
no means of ascertaining. Some of the
members were said to be men of de
spicable character. There were meu in
the body, however, who were wise, con
servative, patriotic. To these our peo
ple owe a debt of gratitude which they
have not yet fully realiz<-d.
The Federal policy that brought the
Convention iuto existence was not les s
remarkable than the composition of the
body. Now, that the heated passions of
tbe times have abated, comparatively
few can be fouud to defend the policy— I
hardly any, at least at the South, who
remain so much in love with it as to af
firm it admirable per sc. By that poli
cy a large amount of the virtue, the in
telligence, the wealth, the patriotism of
the State was disfranchised. Quite a
number whom the policy itself did not
disfranchise were arbitrarily aud tyrau
ica ly disfranchised by the administra
tors of the policy. To the latter num
ber the writer belonged. I hud never
held an office in my life except that of
Intendaut of the little village of Oxford
—had never even been a candidate for
office. Yet after registering as a voter I
was stricken from the list., and what
does the reader suppose to be the rea
son? ft was because I ran the boun
dary line beUocen Georgia and Florida.
This was the alleged reason. lYiubtlesfc
the true reason was to get rid of my !
vote. An appeal to the Superintendent
of Registration, and, afterwards, to the
General in command, brought to relief.
The latter replied, in substance, “if you
held office before the war and engaged
in acts of rebellion during the war, your
name has been rightly stricken,” and
tliis, too, notwithstanding the paper
making the appeal set forth the true
slate of facts as to my never haviug held
office. Large numbers were treated as
I was.
The policy also enfranchised hordes
of ignorant colored men to whom you
could not have explained what is meant
by a Constitution by a week’s labor.—
Vast numbers of the true men 6f the
stole refused to go to the polls. Is it
■■lTrising that a thus con
stituted aud thus originating, should do
mim bad work ? The wonder is that
more of it was not done. Some of it was
bad enough. The portion of the Con
stitution framed, which provided for the
enacting of retroactive homestead and
exemption laws, though it has been
elaborately defended, can hardly bo ac
cepted as a wise piec u of legislation by a
plain, honest man. For one, I shall
never believe it right till I am convinced
that the Lord made a mistake when He
told Moses to write in the Decalogue,
“Thou Shalt not steal.” It has been
more corrupting in its effect upon the
morals of the people thau any legislat ion
adopted in the State since the first land
ing of Gen. Oglethorpe upon our soil.—
Some things done by the Convention
were wise aud statesmanlike. To this
class belongs the whole of the sixth arti
cle of the Constitution, which relates to
the subject of education. I shall endeavor
to show at the proper time, not only
that this article is founded in true wis
dom, but that, whatever changes may
be hereafter made, it is extremely im
probable that this article can ever be
altered. '1 he Constitution, as a whole,
whatever faults it may have, is the fun
damental law of the land. It has been
acquiesced iu by all the departments of
the government—legislative, judicial and
executive—for seven years. For the last
three years all the offices of the govern
ment have been filled by the suffrages
of the most intelligent aud virtuous of
our people, and all these officers have
sworn to support the Constitution, and
they meau to do so, in good faith, till it
is altered by competent authority. Ac
quiescence makes tbe whole instrument
binding so long as the acquiescence con
tinues, and when it is proposed to
change any portion of it, it will hardly
be satisfactory to thinking men to r use
questions as to how and by ivhom the
organic law was framed. It will be con
sidered by every good citizen much
more pertiueut to show that what is ob
jected to is bad, aud that the substitute
proposed is in itself wiser aud better.
Let us next consider the objection in
its application to the first school law
passed under the Constitution. To do
this properly, it will be ueoessary to
give a little historical information not
generally known. In the month of Au
gust, 1869, the Georgia State Teachers’
Association met iu the city of Atlanta.
At that meeting, Mr. Martin V. Calvin,
of Augusta, read a paper in advocacy of
the public school system. At the con
clusion of the reading, the writer of
this article moved for the raising of a
committee to report upon a school sys
tem adapted to the condition and wants
of the people of Georgia. Subsequent
ly the resolution was amended so as to
require the report to be laid before the
executive committee of the Association
for revision, aud to be submitted by
that committee, after revision, to the
consideration of the Association at a
special session to be held in the city of
Macon i* the mouth of November follow-
ing. . ,
The committee appointed under this
resolution consisted of the writer of this
article, Mr. B. Mallon, now Superinten
dent of the schools of the city of Atlan
ta; Hon. D. E. Butler, of the county of
Morgan; Mr. M. V.Calvin and Hon. D. W.
Lewis, now President of the North Geor
gia Agricultural College. Hon. D. E.
Butler afterwards declined to serve, and
was substituted by the Rev. J. M. Bun
nell, theu President of the Wesleyan
Female College. The committee agreed
that each member should study the sub
ject for himself, writing down a synop
sis of his views, and that a meeting
should be held at a fixed time to com
pare views and agree upon the matter of
the report. The meeting was held. Each
member read the synopsis he had pre
pared.
The reading developed a most remark
able coincidence of views. A Secretary
was appointed to record those sugges
tions in which there was an agreement,
and thus, after a most careful canvass of
the subject, the outlines of a complete
system were agreed upon and adopted;
and the writer of this paper was charged
with the duty of preparing the report.
The report when prepared was laid be
AUGUSTA, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 1875.
! fore the Executive Committee. There
were present at that meeting of the com
mittee, H. H. Tucker, now Chancellor of
the S‘at“ Uuiversity; W. Leßoy Brouu,
President of the State College of Agri
culture land Mechanic Arts; Alexander
Means, one of the oldest and most wide
ly known educators in the State; Prof.
W. D. Williams, of the Academy for
the Blind; Dr. J. M. Bonnell, Mr. Mill
ion aud the writer, the last three beiug
also members of tbe Executive Commit
| iee. The report was read, aud nine
hours were spent in discussing “it, sec
tion by section. After this most careful
consideration of the report, this commit
| tee determined to submit it without al
teration to the Association, which was
|to meet the next day. The Association
; spent au entire day in considering the
report, and after thorough discussion of
the different suggestions it contained, it
was .unanimously adopted, with a few
slight alterations, and a committee, of
-which the writer was a member, was
j raised, to lay it before the Legislat'irn
soon to assemble, accompanied by a
memorial praying that the system which
it embodied be put into statutory form
in the shape of a law.
Before the assembling of the Legisla
ture, reconstruction was reconstructed,
and on the assembling of that body
quite a number of the members elected
by the people were unseated, aud others,
who were not the choice of the people,
were substituted iu their places. Our
committee conferred together and were
unanimous in the opinion that our
measure, if adopted, would be odious
in the sight of the people in consequence
of the odium attaching to the body
adopting it; and we determined not to
be personally present when the Legisla
ture convened.
As the session advanced, it became
evident that some kind of a school law
would bo adopted; and two members of
the committee, Mr. Mallon and myself,
determined that we would do what we
could to influence the body for good. I
bad two warm personal friends, good
men aud true, who were meujbers, One
of them, the Hon. I. E. Shumate, was a
representative from thecountyof Whit
tield; and the other, the Hoii. Council
B. Wooten, was Senator from the Elev
enth District. I sent to each of them a
copy of the report of the Association,
and wrote letters requesting them each
to place his copy iJbfore the Committees
on Education of their respective houses.
I knew that, whatever might be their
private views of the subject, they would
both most willingly do me a personal
favor. Mr. Mallou did the same in re
spect to certain of his friends who were
members. When the law appeared, I
found that iu many portions of it onr
report had been closely followed. Some
portions of the law departed from the
system adopted by the Association and
were objectionable, but iu many of its
provisions the law was a good one. In
the duties assigned to the School
Commissioner in the
tions, both in respect to the noards of
Education and of Trustees and the du
ties assigned to these Board in the office
of County School Commissioner and
the duties imposed upon that officer in
►the provision for ambulatory schclols for
sparsely settled districts, iu the provid
ing of separate schools for whites and
blacks in the sources of school revenue
other thau that provided iu the Consti
tution; in all these things and in other
minor matters, the law follows closely
the report. Both the law and the report
are before me, aud the internal evidence
is overwhelming that the teachers of
the Georgia Association did much to
wards giving shape to the first school
law. Let those who raise the objection
which I have been considering remem
ber the history just recited, and wliat
has been said in reference to the educa
tional provisions of the Constitution,
and, further, that Legislatures of our
own choosing have passed laws incorpo
rating much of the original school law.
If they will do so, tdo not think we
shall hear s>f much further objecting on
that particular one.

THE OPERA HOUSE.
Concert by the U. Si Post Band of
Columbia, S. C.
Notwithstanding the general fatigue
consequent upon yesterday’s events, the
Opera House was well tilled by the elite
of our city last evening. The concert
given by the U. S. Baud of Columbia
for the benefit of our admirable troop
of Hussars was one of the finest we ever
attended. The selections were from the
finest classical composers of the old
world, and were without exception de
lightful in the extreme. One piece par
ticularly which pleased the audience
was “The Golden Robin Polka.” The
imitation of the bird was true to life,
and the harmony pf all the instruments
was perfect and complete. The mem
bers of this splendid band have certain
ly arrived at that degree of proficiency
which renders criticism absolutely ab
surd.
The leader, Mr. Bechar, may con-
himself upon having such skill
ful musicians to follow him as are the
members of his band.
The concert was delightful and we
trust it will not be the last that we shall
hear" of its kind.
The Hussars, we hope, have been re
paid for their efforts and have realized a
neat little profit from last night’s enter
tainment.
A GRAND WEDDING.
Marriage of W. H. Vanderbilt, Jr.,
Grandson of the Commodore.
New York, April 20.—The largest
and perhaps the grandest wedding in
this city for years was celebrated this
afternoon at Calvary Church, Fourth
avenue and Twenty-first street. The
bride was Miss Alice, daughter of Mur
ray H. Smith, and the bridegroom Wil
liam H. Vanderbilt, Jr., son of W. H.
Vanderbilt, and grandson of Commo
dore Vanderbilt. For days this wedding
has been the topic uppermost in conver
sation iu fashionable circles. Commo
dore and Mrs. Vanderbilt and others of
the family and a large number of distin
guished ladies and gentlemen attended
the wedding. The altar and chancel
rails were decorated with flowers. The
bride, who is very beautiful, wore white
silk, trimmed with point lace flounce, a
very long veil and the usual wreath of
orange flowers. All the bridesmaids
wore white, but each dress was of dif
ferent material and made and trimmed
differently. They all wore white veils
and damask roses in the hair. The Rev.
Dr. Washburn performed the ceremony.
The wedding was followed by a recep
tion at the residence of the bride’s
father, 213 West Forty-fourth street,
from three until six o’clock. Over two
thousand participated. The house was
thrown open from basement to roof,
profusely decorated with flowers, and
brilliantly illuminated. The parlors
were a bower of roses, the bride and
bridegroom reclining under a canopy of
flowers. At 6 o’clock Mr. Vanderbilt
and bride started on their wedding
journey. They had a special palace car
at their disposal, and the right of way
along the line.
UNDER THE KEA.
Tunnelling the Straits of Dover—A
Railway Under the British Chaunssi
—Feasibility of the Project—The
Prospectors’ Plans.
A company of capitalists and engineers
was formed in London in February,
1872, under the style of the Channel
Tunnel Company (limited), for the pur
pose of sinking shafts near Dover and
Calais, and driving galleries under the
sea sufficiently to ascertain the difficul
ties of extending the work under the
Strait and the cost of a sub-marine raii-J
way. If these prdiminaries justify tha
further exploratiofl, and the comp[etioff
of studies that have been costly, it ■
intended to appeal to the public for tl&
necessary capital. Committies iiavK
been created in both countries to direofl
the preliminary work.
The company asked general apprMfsto
from the Governments of both
without seeking subvention or
of interest. The F-vghsh Government
very readily promised its moral support /
but very speedily refused material ai'i
The French Government, three years l *
ago, called the attention of the munici
palities to the preliminary investigation
at Pas-de-Calais, and notified the Cham
ber of Commerce. A technical descrip
tion of the project was required sos
submission to them, accompanied by aii,
estimate of the probable consequences
of such a work ou the commerce, com
munication and general interests of both
countries. M. Thome de Gamond’s
schemes, the result of thirty-five years’
study and explorations, were exhibited
at the Exposition in 1867, aud attracted
much attention. They included sub
merged metallic tunnels; the construo--
tiou of an elevated bridge; transporta
tion for railway trains, etc. Sir John
Hawkshnw has examined both coasts
and all the Strait, 'and has indicated a
line by which the tunnel can be driven
through a brick stratum of chalk, witli
the wells needed for ventilation, and
pointed the most expedient approaches.
The plan was contingent in detail upon
the greatest depth of the Strait, that
has been proved not to exceed fifty-four
metres; so that if the Cathedral of Notre
Dame were sunk at the deepest point its
towers would rise twelve metres above
the sea. A tunuel driven at one hun
dred metres’ depth from the level of the
sea would, therefore, be perfected by a
roof forty-six metres thick. •
The possibility of this sub marine
work, without the possibility of the sea
breaking in, is proved by the lead and
coal galleries of Cumberland aud Corn
wall. These are strong and secure, and
miners work at great depths and far out,
where they hear the rocks rolled by the
waves. The numerous galleries at
Whitehaven are all reliable. The di
rector of one of the most important of
the Cumberland mines has stated that
the galleries traverses clay, coal, gravel,
attaining 564 feet in depth, and extend
-4,000 yards in one direction—s,2oo in
all, where the sea is 70 to 200 yards
above the mine. Pumps have raised
489,600 gallons in twenty-four hours. A«
ventilator is used. 'There is no more in- J
flow at’hrph than atiuw
amount infiltrated from the sea is inap y
preciable. Iu 1778 M. Pryce, an Eng
lish engineer, declared that sub-marine
galleries were protected from the sea by
some impermeable gelatinous substance
at the bottom of the water —instancing
one that had a roof but five metres
thick. All of the facts warrant a belief
that a tunnel would not be liable to in
filtration, as it will extend through an
unbroken bed of chalk from shore
to shore. It is generally held that
France and England were, at some for
mer period, united by an isthmus that
has been worn away by the erosion of
the sea; and neither in Dover or Calais
are the borings through the chalk that j
must have formed this connection ever ,
accompanied by finding water. Iu the ;
former place wells bored 110 feet through
chalk have been abandoned because they
gave no sufficient supply. Borings ;
through green sand at Harwich, near '
Dover, 325 metres, did not reach water;
the Calais artesian, 350 metres, failed !
utterly; the Paris artesian 3 show that
chalk does not admit water, and all dis
countenance the idea that the tunnel is ;
liable to infiltration.
With these reasons for believing that
the work can be safely prosecuted, there
is the additional fact that new engineer
ing appliances have made it more feasi
ble. When Gamond wrote it was thought
that there must be intermediate en
trances, to enable the prosecution of the
work at different stages simultaneously,
and he considered schemes to allow this.
Sommeiller’s machinery at Mont Cenis
and that of Favre at Saint Gotliard cut
through masses of granite, quartz, gneiss
and schiste without this assistance, and
can more readily dispose of the chalk
dud soft soil of the channel unaided.
The boring machine of M. Bruuton,
however, is particularly adapted to this
work. It is worked either by steam or
compressbd air; wili cut a section more
than two metres in diameter; pulverize
the material; deport it on an endless
cloth'moved by the same motor and de
posit it in cars at the entrance, to be re
moved. The English engineers recom
mend this invention highly, from their
own experience. Tried near Rochester,
it advanced from one metre to a metre
and a quarter each hour, and at this rate
would penetrate the distance from Calais
to Dover, sufficiently for a reconnois
sance, within two years. An approxi
mate estimate of cost for this gallery is
f 20,000,000 or £BOO,OOO sterling; and
this accomplished, renders the tuunel
itself a certain success. The gallerv
could be enlarged in four years ; con
nected with the French and English
railways, and finished at a gross cost of
fl 00,000,000 or £4,000,000 sterling. Mr.
Brassey estimated the cost atf120,000,000
—£4,800,000 sterling. Sir John Hawk
shaw and his associates did not consider"
it prudent to make the estimate from
existing knowledge. The possibility of
success is very much increased by the
example of the Thames tunnel. There
is also a tuunel under the Mersey, 1,200
metres long, between Liverpool and
Birkenhead, that is being cut through
very hard mateiial, six metres below the
river. MM. Brunei and Douglas-Fox,
engineers, stated last February that with
Beaumont’s machine the perforation
could be finished in two years.
The business and remunerativeness
of the tunnel, fed by the great railway
systems of Britain and the Continent,
may be measured by the existing obsta
cles it overcomes. The delays and dan
gers of the sea prevent travel and di
minish trade ; but both impediments
overcome in this manner, the movement
would necessarily increase and new
trade would be created. Every addi
tional facility for transportation has had
this consequence ; and a junction of the
British and Continental railways, con
necting the shops and factories of dif
ferent countries, by safe and speedy
transit, would not only minister to the
English desire for more traffic, but con
vey thousands to London and Manches
ter who would purchase more owing to
the certainty of quick delivery at any
part of the Continent. Then, too, Lou
don being within eight hours of Paris,
the great population of that city and of
all Britain would be led to seek the
I pleasant resorts of France and above all
tq visit Paris, that, lias a grand attrac-
L tion for ■them. Hardly enough trains
j. ..could be placed to transport the thou
i ! sands who would exchange the triste
British Sabbath for its joyous French
fellow. In 1869 there were 353,279 pas
' sengers across the Strait at four ports—
: Havre, Dieppe, Boulogue and Calais.
The time between London and Paris
; ranged from ten to twenty hours ; of
' which from one hour and a half to seven
flours were at sea. The fare was from
to to 75 francs. One-quarter of all the
A.ravei takes the shortest, although it is
Khreefold the most expensive route. Any
Heduction in time between Dover and
£ JJalais would, by tbe authority
II v countries, secure the whole
|Jfiuainesß ; and if this reduced time
accompanied by exemption Unm
Rea . sickness, and made agreeable,
pit i 8 impossible to compute tbe possib.e
llpcrease, growing daily. London too is
Ke greatest port for exchanges; and it is
that those now made with the Con*
would seek the shortest route.
/Sraiice now furnishes England with an
„Jhoimon,s annual sum, hot consisting
“j solely of articles de Paris aud other fab
rications; but iucluding cereals, wines
and early fruits. The tunnel would in
crease this business vastly, and owiDg
to the superiority of the French cuisine,
jyonld soon lead London to import all
grand dinners and banquets. The
service of the Messagerie between the
capitals would be extended almost il
liinitably by digging two pits about one
hundred metres deep and a submarine
gallery at right angles thereto.
The prosecution of the plan is not yet
certain. The preliminary company in
France is formed with £BO,OOO capital to
sink the two French shafts, and that ac
complished, to obtain £160,000 more for
driving the horizontal galleries as de

THE RAILROAD WAR ENDED.
A Treaty of Peace Signed by the Hos
tile Powera.
The citizens of Augusta will be glad
tq learu that the long protracted and
bitterly conducted railway war has come
id au end. A treaty of peace—in the
shape of a new contract between the
Augusta and Summerville R.iilwav Com
pany and the Cnarlotte, Columbia aud
Augusta Railroad Company—has been
signed, sealed and delivered. The
bloody struggle has ceased never, we
hope, to be commenced again. The
basis of the settlement is as follows:
The charge for passengers passing
through the city ou any of the roads
has been wholly discontinued—the dis
continuance being retroactive and tak
ing effect from the first day of last Feb
ruary. The local charge for passengers,
jtoijpb applied only t<v the Charlotte,
EKs*n,'liaS also been disfontiuued from
F the same date. The charge for local
freight—which also applied only to the
Charlotte Road—has been discontinued,
from the first of last Febrbary. The
only charge upon the railways remain
ing under the new contract is on through
freight aud this tariff has been reduced
just one-half of the contract rates." More
than a year ago the Charlotte Road ,
ceased to make any payments under its '
contracts to the Augusta aud Summer- ,
ville Company. The contract provides ,
that of the amount from that time only
one-half shall bo paid. It will thus be
seen that the Augusta and Summerville
Road has made large concessions and
we hope that the peace made will not be 1
[easily broken. I
Music by Telegraph.— A goodly rep
resentation of the American Electrical
Society was present in the Union build
ing last evening. The assemblage was i
entertained and “electrified” by Elisha i
Gray, manager of the Western Electric
Works, who gave an illustration of his
recent discoveries of the conveyance of
musical sounds by electricity. This was (
accomplished by means of the telephone, (
by which tuues were produced from a
violin that was made to take the place
of a receiver, upon which was fitted a
vibrating band of metal. He then
showed the use of this invention in ex- t
periments with such instruments as will j
be employed when the invention shall i
become so perfected as to be required 1
in practical telegraphy. Mr. Gray j
promises to exhibit further develop- J
scents of his invention at au early day.— (

• Just As He Expected.— He was an
ndventist, which did not hinder liis
l>eiug a Cook county Granger. He be
lieved for a long time that the world was
to come to an end last Monday,
which did not prevent his having on
hand numerous stacks of hay. He was
pions, which did not prevent him frorii
seeing his shortcomings. But he muf
fled himself up iu his ascension robes
last Monday, and mounted on one of
tffise stacks of hay to get a good start
fpr the New Jerusalem, which did not
him from going to sleep after he
hsd waited awhile for the grand event.
Peacefully he dozed, until just before
the rain, when some heathenish boys set
ire to the hay-stack, and as the flames
•circled around him he awoke. He sup
posed it was all over, and philosophically
remarked: “In h—ll, just as I ex
pected !’’
The Key to the Brooklyn Closet. —
The man we want to hear from is Henry
C. BoweD, proprietor of the New York
Independent, founder of the Plymouth
Church, prominent member and liberal
paying pew holder in the same institu
tion, and the sworn enemy of both
Heecher and Tilton. If Henry C. Bowen
goes to his grave unchallenged and si
lsnt, the world will never know the cen
tral pivot upon and around which the
nfighty wheel of monstrous mischief has
Svolved. He holds the master key to
tpat secret chamber in the Brooklyn
tabernacle where lodges the demon
that was potent and dreaded long before
a. whisper of the Tiltonian story floated
it the air. Will the key ever be used ?
will that chamber ever be opened ?
Will we* ever know the truth, and the
whole truth ?— St. Louis Republican.
Robbing the Poor Box.—August
Barth was held in default of 3500 bail
in the Tombs Police Court on charge of
stealing 3163 from the poor box in St.
Patrick’s Cathedrul. It was shown, on
the examination, that thieves stand near
the Cathedral on Sunday morning pro
vided with a long whalebone with a
piece of wax on the end; and that when
the ushers are inside seating strangers,
the thieves drop a whalebone into the
box and draw out whatever adheres to
the wax. Hundreds of dollars have
been stolen in this way within a few
months, and it was some time before
the clergymen learned why their par
ishioners were giving so little for the
■Lor. —New York Sun.
Dealing in “Futures.” —Madame
Lung, a favored mortal to whom the fu
ture is an open page, all nature a mere
spelling book, aud the starry firmament
a tell-tale story, has been honoring Bal
timore by her distinguished presence
and exciting it by her rapid disappear
ance. Her coming had been announced
by advertisements which set forth her
skill as a seer and her willingness to un
fold the scroll of fate at the ridiculously
low figure of §1 per roll. Ladies were
the only customers she desired, aud
when Madame arrived they came in
shoals. Her method of lifting the veil
of futurity was peculiar, and compre
hend the lifting of other articles. She
required, as a sine qua non, the deposit
ing with her of some valuable thing,
say a diamond ring or any other little
piece of personal property that would
be portable. On this she would work
her charm, aud tbe visitor, coming again,
would learn what futurity had hidden
and secure the return of Uo» jewels. Hav
ing {been entrusted with a trunkful of
trinkets, Madame, looking to her own
future, got up and dusted.
There is the spice of romance about
Chavez, the most noted outlaw ou tbe
Pacific coast. The authorities pretend
to be iu want of him, but they do not
go far out of their way to find him. Iu
the meantime he seems to thrust him
self directly in their way whenever it
suits him, and with perfect safety. He
lately visited the town of Hollister by
moonlight, one night about 10 o’clock.
He was by himself and recognized by
several of his old friends on the streets.
He shed tears iu talking to them of the
death of Vasquez on the gallows at Sau
Jose. Chavez’ mother lives in Hollister.
He spent an hour with her iu her house
locked up. In the meantime the au
thorities were informed of the presence
of the outlaw, and there was great con
sternation iu town. When his inter
view with his mother was over he went
into a saloon and took a drink, answer
ed to his name, showed his weapons
and walked out of town without meet
ing a known foe. Some officials started
after him, but he mysteriously disap
peared, and so they hunt for Chavez.

The Symptoms of Liver Com
plaint arc uneasiness and pain in tlie
side Sometimes the pain is in the
shoulder, and is mistaken f.>r rheu
matism. 'llia stomach is affected
wiih toss of appetite and sickness,
bowels in general costive, some
limes alternating with lax. The
bead is troubled wiih pain, and
dull, heavy sensation, considerable
loss of memory, accompanied with
painful sensation of having lsft
undone something which ought
to have been done. Often com
plaining of weakness, debility and
low spirits. Some ime» many of
the above symptoms attend tlm
disease, and at other times very
few of them; but the Liv< r is
genet allv ilie organ most involved.
Nearly all di-eases originate from Indiges
tion and Torpidity of tho j Ivor. and relief is
always anxiously sought after. • If tho Liver is
Regiii .ted In its action, health is almost inva
riably secured. W lit of ac ion in the Liver
causes Hetdahe, Constipation. Jaundice Pain
in the Shoulders. Cough, Chills, Dizziness,
Sour Stomach. Rad Taste in the Mouth. Bili
