EDITORIAL NOTES.
Won* is to bs begun this week on Ui«
great canal that ia to irrigate the San
Luis Valley, in Southern Colorado. Tht
canal ia to be seven miles Ibttg and at
the bottom sixty feet wide, and there are
to be many lateral i-anals from it, all to
irrigate two hundred thousand acres ol
land now almost worthless. Several col
onies Are to be organized to occupy the
land.
Prom time to time complaints of the
inefficiency of our jury system appear in
the publio prints, and not a few lawyers
of ability do not hesitate to recommend
the time honored trial by jury. It ia
natural that juries should reflect populai
sentiment, and it ia not surprising that
the average intelligence and prejudice oi
the times should always appear in
the deliberations and conclusitms "of a
jury. There is no such thing as the re
form of the jury system. The improve
ment aimed atoannot be reache i without
reforming the people at large. With the
elevation of popular morals and intelli
gence, juries will naturally rise to the
height of their duties, and execute the
trust confided to them wisely and firmly.
Tun largest private house (n Non
York city is now in proctss of building
near Central park on Madison avenue.
It is to be oeenpied by Charles Tiffany,
the jeweler, Louis C. Tiffany, the deco
rator, and Mitchel, a son-in-law of Charlce
Tiffany, It is expected to cost $400.-
000, not including the lot. The house
will be five stories high to the coping-
style of architecture French, hosed on
**jc Benaisance. The walls ore of brick,
of a pecuuar - _, m taotured espec
ially for the purpose at Perth Amboy.
Baph brick ia four inches wide, one and
a half inches thick and thirteen inches
long, and of the color and texture of fire
brick. In the center of'he building iso
paved court thirty feet square, open to
the nVy, me various stones ue ulg Tuugea
around it, and lighted from it, after the
manner of the European palaces.

* In the Hawaiian kingdom there arc
about 2,000 lepers, of whom probably
half are under restraint. The afflicted
are nearly all natives, and the few whites
probably fifty or sixty, who are victims
of the disease are not under restraint,
when a leper ia reported, the police at
oneepnt him in a detention hospital.
When it is discovered that he is really a
leper the authorities send him to the
island of Molokai, there to remain until
ha dies. On this inland there are proba
bly a thousand lepers. The scenes at
parting when the unfortunate sufferers
are separated from their families to lie
sent to their place of exile are described
as being sad in the extreme. Of course
under the circumstances, there is no
help for it. There is no such thing as
curing leprosy, and when the disease
breaks up a family, the separation may
be regarded as eternal.
Salt Lake is one hundred miles long
and fifty miles across at the widest part.
The average depth is forty feet and
sounding have nowhere gone beyond
ninety feet. 'J he bottom is hard, white
sand with a gradually shelving shore,
and the water is so clear that the bottom
is easily seen where the depth is not over
twenty feet. There is over twenty per
cent of salt in the water and one gallon
of salt is obtained from five ga Ions of
water. The density of > the water is' so
great that to dive in it is impossible, and
a strong man cannot swim in it over one
hiindred yards. To a person who does
not swim the bathing is delightful, as
the water bears him up and allows his
liedy absolute rest as he floats. On
coming out it is necessary to sponge the
body with fresh water as the salt will
form a coat of armor not pleasant to
wear. Ther is no form of vegetable or
animal life to lie found in this lake which
holds more salt than the' Dead Sea
The rag pickers of Paris are to be ban
ished from the city and the work of re
moving the dust heaps will be done more
thoroughly by regular street cleaners.
The c ass known ns rug-pickers with
us are called tin France ‘•chiffoniers.”
Men; women iud'boys are engaged in
the work. They go out at night with
lanterns, bags ami hooked sticks with
which to i xplore the rubbish. In Paris
nothing seems wasted. Bones, broken
glass and china, corks, cast off clothes,
and even bread crusts and vegetables
half decayed are collected and used by
the ingenious Frenchmen. Instances of
surprising honesty among those degraded
creatures are not rare. In 1858 the Em
press Eugenie lost a diamond bracelet
which was found by Gelestin Colct,
chief of the rag-pickers. The chiffonier
carried the bracelet to police headquar
ters and it was toon restored to the owner.
The Empress bestowed a yearly pension
of |125 on Collet as a reward for hia hon
esty. '
Washington contains 05,000 colored
people, a larger number than can be
found in any other city tu the Uult&l
States, They enjoy every right hat the
law has given them, many have accumu
lated weal h, and they own bandfiolno
residences and h*Vo mtmoroas churches.
But tile color lino s rigidly druwn in so
cial matters. Even among ihc colored
people there are throe distino classes,
separated by insurmountable barriers.
Tho so-called uppor crust consists of men
of wealth, learning nnd high political
position. Tlicso people associate -Elly
with each oilier, slid nro wait d upon by
colored Borvnnla who are made to keop
their places. Tho second class is com
posed of government clerks slid people
in comfortable circumstances, and the
thirl class consists of laborets nnd poor
people generally. In tho first of these
circles the loaders are such families as
tho Bniflcs, Gregorys, Langstons, Worm-
leys and others. These people arc weal
thy and well educated, nnd they live in
excellent style, ttill they aro an is iated
set, ns they are not good enough for
white society and too good for that of
thoir own race. The student of the raoo
problem will find much to. interest him
iu Washington,
California continues to hold hor own
ns tho wine region of tho United States,
ill is country is credited with a wine pro
duct of 39,000,000 gallons, nnd California
will produce this year ten millions of gal
lons, against eleven millions last year.
This shortage is snid to be due to n throe
days’ norther Inst June, This wind
scorns to be in the nature of a sirocco.
While Ohio and other sections have be-
come prominent for wine production,
first The state probably produces
twenty varieties of grapes, and six ol
seven of these stand deservedly higli in
tho opinion of wine experts. It ia impos
sible to get at the quantity of wine con
sumed by our people, bocause the devil
try of adulteration cannot be definitely
estimated. The adulteration of wine it
increasing the profit of tho dealer tu
something like one thoussnd per cent,
and it is becoming a serious question
with the Californians how to get theii
wine to market at lionost prices and still
maintain its reputation for richness, pu
rity and strength. How to test wine is
something in which all peoplo feel more
or less interest. Ono thing is now pretty
well assured—bouquet is never present
except in tho purest wines, nnd there is
no truly fine wine without a strikingly
marked or agreeable bouquet.
One of tho biggest swindles evci
known in this country was tho pretended
discovery of extensive diamond fioldsin
Arizona iu 1872. At that time a man
named Harpending made his appearance
in San Francisco with a lot of diamonds
which were examined and pronounced
gems of the purest water. The excite
ment flamed up at onoe and spread nlong
the Pacific coast. In a short time twenty
men organized for {in expedition to tli6
diamond fields. In the party was a Mr.
Jones who acted as agent of Harpending,
and assumed the position of pilot. Mike
Gray was elected captain. After a toil
some journey tho explorers reached the
mountains of Arizona, and here theii
hardships began in earnest Alter fif
teen days’ tramping they found to theii
astonishment that they hod been travel
ing in a circle. Tho pilot, Jones, was
appealed to, and that individual admit
ted that he had lest his way and hail no
idea o 1 the situation. The diamond hun
ters worried along another week or so,
and then Jones was dismounted and
forced to leave the camp. The party
soon broke up Two died from exposure
one became deranged, several others re
mained in the territories for sometime,
and the remainder made their way back
to San Francisco. 'J ho true inwardness
of the affair was Boon exposed. Harpen-
diug had “salted” his alleged diamond
fields in Wyoming, and in order to gain
.time in which to dispose of stock, he
caused the Arizona expedition to start
off on a wild goose chase. While these
poor fellows were floundering about io
the wilderness, Harpending sold stock
in liis bogus diamond bonanza and
skipped before the exposure came.
Mb. Hunky Villakii, it appears, has
had a serious disagreement with a num
ber of his associates and the result has
been Mr. Villard’s resignation of the
presidency of the Oregon Transconti
nental Railway and navigation com
panies. Ho is succeeded by W. Endioott,
Jr., of Boston, as President of the Ore
gon Transcontinental, and by T. Jtefltason
Ooolidgo, of Boston, as President of the
Oregon Bailway and Navigation Com
pany. A syndicate has also been organ
ized to lake between Id,000,000 and $10,-
000,000 of the bonds now owned by the
Oregon Transcontinental. It IS oliimbd
by Mr. Vitiord's friends that Ho still re
tains a largo interest in those companies,
but it is pretty well understood that the
millionaires who havo been backing him
heretofore nro not satisfied with tho con
dition of affaire. Notwithstanding the
rosonte reports of Mr. Villard, the float
ing indebtedness of the two companies
named has increased in the past sis
months from $8,000,060 to 123,000,000,
an iucrease which eon only bo accounted
for upon tho theory that ihe losses have
resulted front a protracted attempt to aus
tain in the market the securities of the
' orthern Pacific system. Mr. Villard'i
railroad career dates from the time when
as the rocoiver of the Kausns Pacific, he
succeeded, in chiseling Jay Gould nnd
other Capitalists out of Sevoral hundred
thousand dollars. Organizing n wealthy
following ho turood his attention to the
developement of tho railway and steani-
shlp systems of Oregon, capitalizing
them at eolossnl figures. The uinu's au
dacity, aud his immense private invest
ments, such ns bis now palace, and sev
eral hundred thousand dollars of govern
ment bonds, registered in his wife’s
name,, havo inspired distrust, and the
preferred stoi kholders of the Northern
Paoiflo are now moving to replace him as
president of that company. The indica
tions are that Mr. Villard’s career has
received a serious check.

Power Absorbed by Railroad Brakes.
In the instance of the Metropolitan
railway, tho stations average but a half
a mile apart, and although the engines
are as powerful as those on the Great
Northern railway, while the trains are
far lighter, the average speed attain
able is only twelve miles an hour. No
sooner has a train acquired a reasonable
speed than tho brakes have to bo sharp
ly applied to pull it up again. As a re
sult of experience and calculation it is
found that 00 per cent, of the whole
power exerted by tho engine is
absorbed by the brakes. In other
words, with the consumption of thirty
pounds of coal per train mile no less
than eighteen pounds are expended in
grinding away tho brake blocks, and
only the remaining twelve pounds in do
ing the useful work of overcoming fric
tional and atmospheric resistances.—

The United Htates has brought suit in

by the State, and afterwards sold to
Josiah Tattnall Tattnall in 1779 mails

righted and afterwards purchased from
tho State, anil has held possession of it
since that time. The present suit has
been pending about thirteen years. One
of tho principal issues of the case is
whether the original deed from the State
of Georgia to Josiah Tattnall was suf
ficiently explicit to determine that
Grover’s Island was the identical piece
of property which waa said to be pur
chased.
