It requires some nerve to pay $13,000 for a portrait of one's self, but a great deal more nerve to chuck it into the fire if one is displeased with it. This is what Mrs. Mackey did with her portrait, painted by Meissonier. J. LAWRENCE SULLIVAN is being treated with the most distinguished consideration by the police of San Francisco. When he gets drunk, the city's guardians call a back and take him to his rooms at the Palace Hotel instead of yanking him off to prison, as they do less distinguished sloggers. A MINUTERIAL decree recently issued in the Grand Duchy of Westmar enjoins upon all public departments to abstain as rigidly as possible from the use of foreign words in their official reports, documents, etc. The Grand Duke is desirous of restoring the language of the Fatherland to pristine purity. GENERAL SHEEIDAN has recommended to Congress that thirty-six military posts, mainly in the Territories, be opened for settlement. He says that they are no longer necessary for military purposes, as the Indians have been driven back and civilization has done away with the need of the army. They include in all 711,680 acres of public land. The live advertiser takes advantage of any prominent public topic and twists it to his uses.

Holland is much MATTERS MADE CLEAR. A Characteristically Concise Statement—With an Intimation that There is a "Nigger in De Venes." Ed. Gazette:—The public pulse in and around Anaheim yet gives strong indications that your letter in answer to Mr. Saxton and the "four objections," together with personal explanations, have wholly failed to quiet the clamor as to the action of the Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company. Though I make no pretentions to being "eminent" in the sense in which that much misapplied term is oftimes used, and never have given any advice to the Directors, yet I claim the right as an interested stockholder to express my honest convictions; and when the object for which I offered the first resolution (consolidation) is fully accomplished it will then be time for somebody to rise and explain. Anything at this stage of the proceedings that tends toward disruption should be avoided by all. Our only aim now should be to fully carry out the purposes and objects of consolidation regardless of the means by which it is attained. The only stickler that now seems to stand in the way, is the signing of the by-laws. I advise my friends to sign anything that will consummate our one great object, other than their own death warrant. Why hesitate to sign the by-laws? If they are objectionable, will we not repeal them? We will not surely keep a bad law for our own government. But one of the 1165 acre persuasion says we don't want to disincorporate the A. W. Co., and I ask why not? And he gives you what he conceives to be the best and most unanswerable reason in the whole category of thought, "because," "just because." Now let me give you a few of the many reasons why we should disincorporate. In the first place the A. W. Co.-day has nothing on earth but a name, a few old books and a Board of Directors, most of whom are anxious to be relieved from further annoyance or responsibility. We have absolutely nothing, having legally, lawfully and rightfully, as the stockholders authorized by a four-fifths majority of all the stock, conveyed to the Anaheim U. W.

We'll have a big Dam—n, then go on digging gold and smoking fine cigars made at" etc. Not only in Paris, but in Germany and, in fact, throughout Europe, the cry of the unemployed is being heard. Holland is much troubled with it at present. In both Amsterdam and Rotterdam there is a large amount of labor eager but unable to get work, and driven into destitution. In Amsterdam the Government has devised some temporary work, and in Rotterdam two thousand of the "disinherited" has issued a protest against the subvention of the opera by the municipality during this distress. Speculators in tax titles have got their business down to so fine a point that it borders closely upon blackmailing. In general it may be said that their object is not to acquire the ownership of the property, but merely to so cloud its title that the real owner will have to pay an extortionate price to have the title cleared. At a sale in Oakland, the quintillionth part of an inch of one tract was bought by a tax title speculator, and in Los Angeles a few years ago eight inches of the Pico House was sold in the same way. It seems to be impossible for Congressmen to discuss the most trivial and irrelevant subjects without bringing politics into the question. One would think that a bill conferring upon States the right to exclude cattle suffering from pleuro-pneumonia and other infectious diseases, could be discussed without rancorous political references. But not so; the debate developed into a discussion of States Rights, and Congressman J. S. Wise of Virginia is reported by telegraph as speaking in opposition to the State rights doctrine, which had been presented as an argument why the bill should not pass. The three States most boisterous about the constitution, most jealous about Federal power, were Louisiana, Texas and West Virginia. Louisiana was bought with money out of the pocket of the Union and had no particular reason to kick; Texas was bought with blood, and had some reason to feel kindly toward the nation, instead of continuing to cackle about the constitution, like a guilty bird robbed of her nest; West Virginia was nothing but the bastard off-spitting of national violence committed on Old Virginia. He had heard the gentleman from New York (Cox) boast that he was the shining light and monument of Democracy sent here to point out the doctrine of State rights. He did not call the gentleman a monument. He called him a pillar of gas by night, a pillar of brass by day to lead the Democracy. He was sick of hearing the little hantling chick- And he gives you what he considers best and most unanswerable reason in the whole category of thought, "because," "just because." Now let me give you a few of the many reasons why we should disincorporate. In the first place the A. W. Co.-day has nothing on earth but a name, a few old books and a Board of Directors, most of whom are anxious to be relieved from further annoyance or responsibility. We have absolutely nothing, having legally, lawfully and rightfully, as the stockholders authorized by a four-fifths majority of all the stock, conveyed to the Anaheim U. W. Co., everything in the shape of rights and property; but some few of the old persuasion say, "hold on," "our water right belongs to the land," "and the great law givers have so decided." Will you permit me to ask you what you did with that theory in 1878, when you changed your whole base of operations, increased your capital stock, and opened your books for the sale of stock and water to an unlimited extent? If you still contend, however, that you did not then part with any personal right, let me ask you what do you part with now by signing the by-laws and receiving your certificate of stock in the new company? You assuredly part with only the rights you have in the A. W. Co. as a stockholder, and not with any personal right, for if it be conceded that any individual right could in such manner be surrendered, then I say you have none to part with, having in 1878 signed by-laws and resolutions precisely in accord with those now presented by the A. U. W. Co.. All you do by accepting the new company by-laws, is to place yourself in the same position to that company that you occupied toward the old one. If you have any individual rights you can as well and successfully assert and maintain them in the A. U. W. Co. as you could ever at any time have done in the old company. All the new company does, so far as rights and property interests are affected, is to take the place of the old companies. But aside from all this, did not the adoption of the report of the joint committee on consolidation effectually settle the whole question beyond controversy? When you voted for that report you not only authorized but you instructed your Secretary, Mr. Melrose, to subscribe for you the number of shares of stock to which you were entitled in the new company, then proposed to be organized, and he did so subscribe; hence, I maintain, that you are to-day as much a member of that corporate body as if you had signed the by-laws forty times, and had your certificate of stock in your pocket. There can be no question as to the correctness of this proposition. Each and every stockholder of the old companies, by the act of consolidation, now bears the same relation to the new company they did to the former, other than they are now owners of fifty per cent. additional stock. The act of consolidation was lawfully and legally effected and no party in either of the old companies can avoid its consequences. And let me ask, in the name of common sense, why should anyone wish to Wash In the Senate, legislation appropriating of the sufferers b storm in the South five hundred people many thousands w resulting from the and Pugh support In the House, resolution approprion but of seed am Ohio floods.

He had heard the gentleman from New York (Cox) boast that he was the shining light and monument of Democracy sent here to point out the doctrine of State rights. He did not call the gentleman a monument. He called him a pillar of gas by night, a pillar of brass by day to lead the Democracy. He was sick of hearing the little bantling chicken of State rights being pitted against the heavy gorgeous red-combed fighting-cocks of the nation, for it knocked it to smithereens every time. In discussing the same bill, Congressman Hatch of Missouri took occasion to say that "he had traveled long enough in the wake of the old barnacles of the Democratic party following the Republican party. He wanted a little new blood in it; a little independence in it; a little originality in it. Before he would have followed the Republican party to Chicago he would have gone to Los Angeles; he would have gone where the thermometer recorded 400 degrees below zero, or 300 degrees above the boiling point, rather than have gone to Chicago." The pertinency of these remarks is not very clear, but the startling fact is clear that he compared Los Angeles to Chicago, and by inference placed our orange groves in the same category with the pork-packing establishments of that city, which shows that Mr. Hatch is wofully lacking in that taste and culture characteristic of Missourians. A man named Heith, imprisoned at Victoria, B. C., had refused to take sustenance, except through a tube, since January 16th, or to leave his bed, but the application of an electric battery made him leap from h's bed and dance around in a lively manner.

Some ignorant and unthinking fools, who allow others to think for them, seem to be at a great loss to understand why I have so changed my views. I answer, surroundings have changed; and while some people do change there is an old adage that fools never do, and as for some of the parties, if they were struck by a ray of intelligence, and for one moment fully comprehended the situation, it would be too much for their poor weak intellects and the result would be a cheap funeral. Allow me, in conclusion, to advise you as stockholders (mind, I advise not as a lawyer) to do all in your power to hasten on consolidation in a spirit that means union and success. Respectfully, Rorr. W. Scott. A Problem. Ed. Gazette.—What is the intrinsic value of a tract of land, speculative value six hundred dollars, in cash or its equivalent, viz.: The 1st payment made under penalty of forfeiture if fail, with others yearly. The principal unpaid at the time of sale to draw interest at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum. I know of a person who contracted for twenty acres on said terms, paid cash $150, spent on land, extra in cash, seed and labor, the amount of $300, making total expended $450 during the two years in the possession, put in three crops (with extra care) took nothing from the land during this time. The seller is now in possession of the tract, with the first payment made and the taxes paid during the buyer's occupancy. The buyer out money and labor (crippled in means to make another start). But clear of the land, with some experience. Value probably, 0000. Question. In justice between seller and buyer, what is the true value of such land? or the actual loss or gain to either party in the transaction? This might be considered by those interested a moral as well as a financial question. J. D. T. NEWS OF THE WEEK. A Willimantic, Conn., lady, more than 80 years of age, is reported ill of the mescalen, which she escaped in childhood. A number of regular boarders in a San Francisco hotel felt insulted and went away because Johnny Sullivan and his gang of pogilists were received as guests. Russell, Kan., has raised $10,000 for an artesian well. It has now reached the depth of 960 feet. One hundred and fifty miners have been discharged from the mines at Cole City, Ga., to make room for a large invoice of convicts received. Seven steamers, with an aggregate tonnage of 32,200, will be added next season to the fleet of steamers plying between Montreal and Europe. Eight hundred vagrants, a score of them men whose ages ranged from 90 to 98 years, were arrested in a single week toward the close of last month in Paris. Many of them asserted that they had not slept on a bed for thirty years. A census of sporting men and athletes in Canada gives 15,000 lacrosse players, 5,000 curlers, 4,000 snowshoers, 3,000 or 4,000 cricketers, 2,000 foot-ball players, 1,000 rowing men, 1,000 base ballists, 1,000 bicyclists, and 10,000 given to other sports. A well-digger found a diamond in Wankesha county, Wisconsin, in the rough, which is almost as large as a canary egg, and experts say it will cut in superb form, be of dazzling beauty, and, when finished, be free from flecks and flaws. The Chicago Common Council has adopted an ordinance fixing the rate of saloon licences for selling whisky and other ardent spirits at $500, and for selling only malt liquors (beer, etc.) at $150, in accordance with the new Harper High License law. A pastoral letter from Bishop Carr was read in the Catholic churches of the diocese of Galway, Ireland, advising the people not to emigrate, and calling attention to a letter from the Archbishop of Toronto, saying there were in Toronto immigrants from Connaught No Explanations. A traveller for a Detroit wholesale grocery house, says the Detroit Free Press, was the other day making a trip between two northern country towns with a sleigh, when one of the horses was taken sick and he drove up to a farm house and inquired if he could put the animal out and rest him until he recovered. "You can," replied the woman, "but I want to warn you in advance that I have run away from my husband on two different occasions—once with a drover and once with a map seller." "Well, what of it?" "You'll find out as soon as the old man comes up from the slashing. He'll think you're after me, and there'll be a row." "Oh, I guess I can explain matters to him." "Don't you wait to explain nothing," she continued; "he'll go for you without a word, and if you can't wallop him he'll give you this worst licking a stranger ever got." The horse was too ill to go on, and the agent had no recourse but to stay and face the music. He was at the barn, rubbing the animal down, when the old man suddenly showed himself at the door. Waiting just long enough to draw a full breath he made a break for the traveller. The latter dropped his wisps of hay and felt of the farmer's right eye in a way that laid him flat. He got up and came again, but was received with a stinger on the jaw, and as he went down the traveler got him by the throat and held him fast. By and by, when he dared let up a little, he explained: "I was forced to stop here and take care of a sick horse." "Well, that's all right," replied the farmer. "Let me up and I'll help rub him." He was assisted to his feet and went to work with considerable heart. By and by he went to the house and had his eye bound up, and when supper was ready he insisted that the traveler should eat with him. Not a cent would he take when the latter was ready to go, but extending his hand he said: "Stranger I've licked seven different men who stopped here within the past six months, and it kinder does me good to get knocked under the benches. Next time you Washington Notes. In the Senate, Ransom offered a joint resolution appropriating $100,000 for the relief of the sufferers by the recent great wind storm in the Southern States. He said over five hundred people had been killed and many thousands wounded, and the suffering resulting from the storm was terrible. Brown and Pugh supported the resolution. In the House, Gibson introduced a joint resolution appropriating $30,000 for distribution of seed among the sufferers from the Ohio floods. Referred. Clements from the Committee on Foreign Affairs, reported a resolution requesting the President to transmit to the House all communications between us and Russia in regard to the condition and treatment of the Hebrews in Russia, especially in relation to Hebrew citizens of the United States. Adopted. Under the call of States, the following bills were introduced and referred: By Oats—To prohibit aliens and foreigners acquiring or owning land within the United States. By Rosecrans—To authorize the coinage of silver dollars and fractions thereof, under the metric system; also, for the coinage of the gold metric dollar, two dollar and fraction of a dollar, and the double eagle, eagle and half eagle; also, for the coinage of stella; also, to establish a system of coinage of gold and silver, and to obtain the proximate value between them. A Practical Railroad Man. "So you want a situation as conductor, do you?" said the President of the road. "Yes, sir," the applicant replied. "Have you the necessary qualifications for such a responsible position?" "I am sure I have, sir." "Well, suppose your train should meet with a serious disaster in which a large number of passengers would be killed and a large amount of property destroyed, what action would you take in such a case?" "I would telegraph the newspapers that the accident was of little importance, and then send word to the President of the road to sell the stock short." "H'm," replied the President, "I am afraid those are not the proper qualifications The Chicago Common Council has adopted an ordinance fixing the rate of saloon licences for selling whisky and other ardent spirits at $500, and for selling only malt liquors (beer, etc.) at $150, in accordance with the new Harper High License law. A pastoral letter from Bishop Carr was read in the Catholic churches of the diocese of Galway, Ireland, advising the people not to emigrate, and calling attention to a letter from the Archbishop of Toronto, saying there were in Toronto immigrants from Connaught actually starving. A London dispatch says: The wine merchants are badly off, owing to the decrease in the consumption of all wines except claret and champagne, but the whisky trades flourishes. A Scotch train the other day consisted of twenty-four cars laden entirely with whisky. According to the presentation of Rev. A. Gurteen, secretary of the charity organization movement in Chicago, there are in that city 30,000 pawners, which is equivalent to one in every twenty of her population, and a leading paper of that city, while confessing its inability to dispute the correctness of the figures, says, "the facts are undesirable but." The largest boring hitherto attempted by a single bit, it is stated, is now being made at a Liverpool sugar works. The upper port of the bore is 2 feet 10 inches in diameter, reducing to 2 feet 6 inches, at which diameter it is proposed to drill to a depth of 1,000 feet, or through the red sandstone. The cast steel boring appliances weigh one and a half tons. The German Government proposal for the insurance of workmen against accidents has been generally favorably criticised by the Berlin press, but much fault is found with the exclusion of agricultural laborers from its benefits. The rigid economist is also naturally opposed to the interference of the State in such matters. The fundamental idea of the bill emanated from Prince Bismarck. Very high prices were obtained recently at a sale of a collection of Burns's works. The first (Kilmarnock) edition of poems, chiefly in Scottish dialect (1780), fetched £51. A unique copy of the second and enlarged edition (Edinburgh, 1793), with annotations by the poet, went for £30. The original lease of Burns's farm at Ellisland (1791) went for £33, and £13 was given for an imperfect autograph letter to Mr. E. Ainslie. The sum of £40 was recently paid at Glasgow for the MS. of "Holy Willie's Prayer." A Horrifying Blunder. There are those who assert that this vowely, soft-sounding Castillian is an easy language to learn—but they are generally those who never tried it. What with reciprocal NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.

You can consider yourself engaged as Superintendent of the road, at a salary of $10,000 a year. Professional Obesity. An English medical journal reports that a retired showman has been making public some of the secrets of his trade, notably the secret of fat women. He says that in the case of these women a hollow needle is made to penetrate the adipose to the areolar tissue, air being then forced through until the woman is distended to her full limit. What is taken for fat is therefore largely wind. Prompt Cure of Ringworm. R. W. Taylor, M. D., in the Journal of Cutaneous Diseases, reports the best results from the use of a paint composed of a tincture of myrrh and four grains to the ounce of bichloride of mercury. Other skin affections are cured by the application of this remedy. A gentleman was giving a little Keokuk baby boy some peanuts the other day. The good mother said: "Now, what are you going to say to the gentleman?" With childish simplicity the little fellow looked up in the gentleman's face and rephed: "More!" Herr John Frantz Luther heads a colony of Germans, 500 strong, who are on their way to Southern California, where they will settle as farmers. A Horrifying Blunder. There are those who assert that this vowelly, soft-sounding Castillian is an easy language to learn—but they are generally those who never tried it. What with reciprocal pronouns, reflective verbs, preterite conjugation, backward construction and genders that change every word in the sentence, it is the most difficult language under the sun. The mistakes which tyros make are often too dreadful to be amusing. A friend of mine in Monterey, who prides herself on having mastered Spanish quickly, and who is withal something of a coquette, desired to display her new-found knowledge for the further captivation of a handsome young officer. As he passed her window one day she rolled up her blue eyes at him in sentimental mood and meant to say: "I am very lonesome"—yo estoy muy solitario—but what she did say, by merely changing the tense of the verb and the final a into o was: "I have a tape worm!" Not till long afterward did she learn her mistake and comprehend the look of horror, not unmixed with compassion, which swept over his face as he precipitately took his leave, never to return. Mexican cor. Springfield Republican. One of the French prisoners in Berlin during the last war between France and Prussia, who was earning some money by making shoes, was a very good-natured fellow, who, like Mark Tapley, seemed determined to make the most of the situation. When taunted by a Prussian as being a captive, and asked what had become of French boasting now, he undanntedly replied: "French boasting, indeed! We said we should be in Berlin in three weeks, and here we are!" M. W. Connolly killed an eagle on his farm, adjoining Litton Springs, last Saturday.

This invention supplies a long felt want for a cheap portable bed, that can be put away in a small space when not in use, and yet make a roomy, comfortable bed when wanted. Of the many cots that are in the market there is not one, cheap or expensive, on which a comfortable night's rest can be had. They are all narrow, short, without spring, and in fact no bed at all. While The Bedette folds into as small space, and is as light as anything can be made for durability. When set up it furnishes a bed wide and long enough for the largest man, and is as comfortable to lie upon as the most expensive bed. It is so constructed that the patent sides, regulated by the patent adjustable tension cords, form the most perfect spring bed. The canvas covering is not tacked to the frame, as on all cots, but is made adjustable, so that it can be taken off and put on again by any one in a few minutes, or easily tightened, should it become loose, at any time, from stretching. It is a perfect spring bed, soft and easy, without springs or mattress. For warm weather it is a complete bed, without the addition of anything; for cold weather it is only necessary to add sufficient clothing.
