A Threatening Danger. San Bernardino Times To-morrow evening the citizens of Mill district meet to consider a most important matter that now presents itself to them, and in which our town and the whole vicinity is more directly interested than is generally supposed. It is the taking of measures to prevent the drainage, if possible, of the artesian basin upon which they are located, by a number of enormous wells which have already decreased the flow, and in some cases, stopped it entirely, of the smaller wells in that district. It will be well for San Bernardino, although net yet affected, to take preventive steps against a like calamity, for the danger already threatens us; and if the Gage system of water appropriation be not stopped, then San Bernardino might as well at once resign her claims to artesian water and allow it to be taken away. Riverside's greatest object is to get water; honestly, if she can; and her continual growth demands more and more. The value of water has grown so that an inch of it is already worth an almost fabulous sum delivered over there. Shrewd speculators are taking advantage of every means to get control of it, and already have fixed their eyes and their hands upon our supply, and unless the citizens of San Bernardino just vicinity take early precautionary measures our artesian basin will be drained, and the water—the great beauty and feature of our valley—will be run over to Riverside. This is going on under our very eyes, and we are supine enough to sit and see it done without a murmur. The Gage wells are an experiment, a costly one to the owners of property in the vicinity, and this experiment is being watched with interest by other Riverside speculators. So well satisfied are they too, with the result that already the Riverside Water Company have purchased forty acres of land on the banks of the Santa Ana, immediately south of this town, for the purpose of sinking another group of wells that will drain this place as the Gage wells are doing Mill district. San Bernardino is situated immediately above a subterranean lake, which is supplied from the rainfall on the surrounding mountains; and from this we get our New York, Inventor Ellison celebrated some of his profession on New electric dinner to mates and friend little home in Jersey in itself. threshold without lighting the gas filled with a network Upstairs there is worth a fortune to put your head on touch a button or is lit again; fix an side and you will want to by a gong.

San Bernardino is situated immediately above a subterranean lake, which is supplied from the rainfall on the surrounding mountains; and from this we get our artesian water. The lower outlet will, if large enough, invariably drain the upper, and a group of large wells can be made to drain the entire supply, and leave every well in this town dry. The immense sums of money which have been spent in sinking the wells of our town, will have been wasted, and the pipes that furnish our residences with the life-giving fluid be left dry. If it is allowed, Riverside will make a water famine in San Bernardino—to-day the best watered town in the State—and our greatest pride will be gone. Can we help ourselves? There are to-day in our town and immediate vicinity probably five hundred small wells, each sufficient to furnish all the water required for domestic purposes. Upon these we depend entirely for our water supply. Riverside has long looked at these with envious eyes, and now the prospects are that they will be taken from us entirely, and San Bernardino left a dried, parched town. The artesian supply is not inexhaustible. This has been proven when a few dry seasons, and a number of even small wells, so materially affected it that many wells went dry. Let now the Riverside Water Co. sink enough large wells to drain the whole of this artesian supply, and who doubts that they will do it, and where will our wells be then? Everything in the way of water is being grabbed up by Riversiders, and to them it matters not who is injured so long as they get the water. San Bernardino may be completely drained and ruined if they can get our great water supply, and then they would tell us it served us right for being such fools as to live elsewhere than at Riverside. It has been their boast for years that they would take the county seat to their burg, and if they but succeed in taking our water they might as well take the buildings, the population and all, and we might just as well, when the first artesian well flows into the Santa Ana from the Riverside Water Co.'s purchase, pack up our household goods and move, and leave our homes behind us for all they will be worth. What are we going to do about it? Shall we sit by until our water, our very life, has been taken from us, and then complain because we have been robbed, or shall we not better look the stable door before the horse is stolen, and fight the thief before he makes an entrance?

Shall we sit by until our water, our very life, has been taken from us, and then complain because we have been robbed, or shall we not better lock the stable door before the horse is stolen, and fight the thief before he makes an entrance? If our artesian water is taken, all that we possess might as well follow; our lands, our homes are worthless, and the man who will not make a hold stand for his home and right is a cur, indeed. Let San Bernardino join with the Mill district people in proving what rights they possess before the courts; fight the appropriation inch by inch until it is decided whether a claim in the artesian basin is a valid one, or one of which some wholesale appropriator can rob us at pleasure. Take the case to the highest courts in the land, and fight it legally to the bitter end until we know whether we own our water interests or whether in this respect we are in the condition of the robber states of old, where "They shall take who have the power, And they shall keep who can." Facts and Figures: The number of men killed in battle, on the Union side, was 44,238. Died of wounds, 49,205. Suicide and execution, 526. Died of disease, 186,216. Died of unknown causes, 24,184. Making a total of 304,469 men who lost their lives during the rebellion. There were 280,000 men wounded in action, and 184,791 men captured and reported missing. There were 188,353 deaths in the hospitals. The number of engagements that took place was 2,261. The number of men, in round numbers, who enlisted under President Lincoln's different calls for troops. from 1861 to 1865, was 2,850,000. From the above figures it will be seen that only 44,238 were killed in battle, while 60,000 died in Confederate prison pens and soon after release.

Pittsburg Dispatch.) New York, Jan. 2.—William Hanmer is Inventor Edison's chief electrician. He celebrated some of his recent successes in his profession on New Year's Eve by giving an electric dinner to twenty of his old classmates and friends. Mr. Hanmer's pretty little home in Jersey City is an electric machine in itself. You cannot walk across the threshold without starting a burglar-alarm or lighting the gas in the hall. The walls are filled with a network of wires and buttons. Upstairs there is a bedroom that would be worth a fortune to a lazy man. When you put your head on the pillow the gas is out, touch a button on the side of the bed and sit it again; fix an alarm attachment on the side and you will be awakened when you want to by a gong. The guests walked around on tip-toe when they entered Thursday night. Nobody sat down, although ottomans, sofas and chairs were scattered through the rooms. When each newcomer tried to sit down, the chair either doubled up or started for the door, propelled by some unseen hand. If he touched a sofa, the banjo on the opposite wall began to play, and if he took another seat the movement put out the lights, and queer phosphorescent figures came up. No one knew when he was safe, for electricity was everywhere. Finally, after they had adjourned to the dining room, one of the number worked up courage enough to take a seat at a table loaded with the usual delicacies. The others followed. At the head a figure of Jupiter presided, and at a signal from the host the great god began to make an address of welcome, "phonographically." He wore electric lights for shirt-studs, a bibulous red light for a nose, and his green eyes had the snap of lightning in them, while blue bolts started from his side-pockets continually. The table seemed bewitched. Reach for an innocent-looking sandwich, and you rang a bell on the inside, where the meat ought to be; pour a glass of lemonade, and it was incandescent and full of fire as it touched your lips; put your spoon in a dish of cream, and sparks of red and green flame abseize; try For Only a Penny. An Italian, who keeps a penny grocery in South Fifth avenue, near Bleecker street, gives the following list as an illustration of what can be done in a penny grocery with a silver quarter: Three ounces of coffee...1 ct. One ounce of tea...1 ct. Three ounces of rice...1 ct. Small loaf of stale bread...1 ct. Six sticks of kindling wood...1 ct. Three onions...1 ct. Four potatoes (old)...1 ct. Three ounces of barley...1 ct. Three ounces of brown sugar...1 ct. Four ounces of starch...1 ct. Thin slice bar soap...1 ct. Enough raisins for rice pudding...1 ct. Small tea cup of black molasses...1 ct. Lampful of oil...1 ct. Quarter yard of lamp-wick...1 ct. Quarter pound oleomargarine...4 cts Scuttle of coal (mixed)...4 cts Three ounces of lard...1 ct Two pickles...1 ct Total...25 cts A small family can live for a day on these purchases. The coffee will be sufficient for a big potful, and the tea is enough for two drawings. The rice and raisins make a small pudding. The stale bread will serve for a meal, and there is enough sugar to sweeten the tea and coffee. The onions, potatoes and barley, with the addition of a beef bone or piece of meat and a penny bunch of potherbs will make a stew or soup. There is enough soap to wash the dishes, and scrub the children's faces; enough oil and wick to last all night; a scuttle of coal and wood to kindle the fire in the morning. Then there is lard, molasses and the next thing to butter, oleomargarine, and the two good-sized pickles for a relish. The penny grocer buys small stale loaves for a half-cent each and retail them at a cent. Medium-sized stale loaves cost them one and a half cents and sell at two cents, and large stale loaves they retail at three cents. The coal they sell is coal-yard sweepings screened, and contains a good deal of slate. Cure for Piles. Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of weight in the back, loins and lower part of the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has some affection of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At times, symptoms of indigestion are present, flatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspiration, producing a very disagreeable itching, after getting warm, is a common atendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors, allaying the intense itching, and effecting a permanent cure.

Reach for an innocent-looking sandwich, and you rang a bell on the inside, where the meat ought to be; pour a glass of lemonade, and it was incandescent and full of fire as it touched your lips; put your spoon in a dish of cream, and sparks of red and green flame rose; try to pick a grape, and an electric light flashed from the stem that you pulled it from. But everything was good, and the coffee was cooked by electricity, and when the little clock tinkled out 12, ushering in the New Year, pandemonium seemed to have changed places with the quiet dining-room. Two little cannon crawled in through the door, apparently unaided; sounds were heard under every chair; the lights went out and the place was in an uproar. It lasted several minutes, and worked the guests up to such a nervous state that they left the house an hour afterward, feeling that somehow they had been living half a century ahead of the times. Blue and Pink Oleomargarine. [New York Sun] Two hundred retail grocers of town, who crowded the hall of the Retail Grocers Union in East Twenty-third street last night, voted unanimously that they wouldn't have anything more to do with the sale of oleomargarine, butterine or any kind of imitation butter, unless the manufacturers colored the stuff so that it wouldn't look like butter, and wouldn't fool the public. Then the grocers adopted a petition asking the dairy commissioners of the State to prosecute all grocers who continue to sell oleomargarine for butter. The grocerymen further resolved that they would hereafter put a sample-lot of the oleomargarine on their counters, to show their customers the difference between it and butter. Two-thirds of the grocerymen in town are not union grocers, but the union men say that they will break up the business of non-union men if they try to palm off oleomargarine on the helpless public as pure Orange County or any other county butter. Irrigation in Arizona. Tuscon Citizen Chicago parties have been at Florence looking over the route of the proposed irrigating canal south of the Gila river. They expressed surprise that such a great enterprise had remained so long undeveloped and then will at once begin the work of excavating for the great canal. The water will be taken from the Gila river at Butte, where a dam can be easily and cheaply constructed there is enough soap to wash the dishes, and scrub the children's faces; enough oil and wick to last all night; a scuttle of coal and wood to kindle the fire in the morning. Then there is lard, molasses and the next thing to butter, oleomargarine, and the two good-sized pickles for a relish. The penny grocer buys small stale loaves for a half-cent each and retail them at a cent. Medium-sized stale loaves cost them one and a half cents and sell at two cents, and large stale loaves they retail at three cents. The coal they sell is coal-yard sweepings screened, and contains a good deal of slate. N.Y. Mail and Express. A Beast Tamer's Invention. Mr. Ranspach, a tamer of wild beasts in Germany, has invented an electric wand which is said to have the most marvelous effect upon his beasts. He has experimented himself in his own management with the following results. The lion touched with the electric wand became very frightened, trembled all over and growled. The tiger received the touch more calmly, appeared frightened and crouched in a corner. The bear was quite insensible to the first touch, simply growled and showed his teeth, but after renamed application, became quite quiet. The strongest effect was upon the bear constructor, a beast from Cacome, twenty feet long. On being touched he became paralyzed and remained six days without moving, after which he appeared a little better, but remained three days in a state of semistorper. The elephant on being touched at the end of his trunk made a great noise and became so frightened that the tamer thought he would break the bars of his cage. The tamer left and so terminated his first experiments. Trying to Qualify. A good story about that eternal duel question in France comes from Bordeaux. Three years ago a young navy officer, having quarreled with a corn merchant of the town in a Club, sent him his seconds on the following day. "Gentlemen," said the corn merchant, "I am quite willing to fight the Leu tenant, but I do not think that our risks are equal. He is a bachelor and I have three children. When he has three children I shall be at his disposal." Lieutenant Carjazac was obstinate. A barber of the neighborhood had a pretty daughter. He immediately courted her, obtained her parents' consent and married her in October, 1882. Ten months later he was presented with a boy, and in 1884 the young officer was blessed with a daughter. At last, to his great joy, a third child was born, three months ago. He lost no time. Taking his first two children in his arms, and ordering the nurse... Irrigation in Arizona. Chicago parties have been at Florence looking over the route of the proposed irrigation canal south of the Gila river. They expressed surprise that such a great enterprise had remained so long undeveloped and they will at once begin the work of excavating for the great canal. The water will be taken from the Gila river at Butte, where a dam can be easily and cheaply constructed across the narrow and rocky channel. The water can be conducted over the broad and fertile mesa that extends from the river to far beyond Casa Grande, and it will bring a great many thousand acres under a proper condition of cultivation. There is no better fruit land in the world than the section through which this canal will pass, and at one time, during the ages past whose history is still unrecorded, and can only be conjectured from the few evidences that time has failed to obliterate, a prosperous and highly civilized people dwelt upon this land and cultivated it. The ruins of the old canal are yet to be seen and occasional reservoirs indicate that water was stored at convenient points for community uses. The old canal was constructed with a mathematical precision, being a perfectly straight line with a uniform grade, showing the work of a skillful engineer. Who those people were and the fate that swept them from the face of the earth, are still subjects for the archaeologist to fathom. The spade of the explorer has brought to light many evidences of a wonderful skill in the arts, some of which exhibit an intricacy of workmanship, beauty of design and harmony of color that would elicit the admiration of the most advanced artisans of the present day.

Lancereaux has presented before the Academie de Medicine session of November 17, 1885, an analysis of the "alcoholic" cases at present in the hospitals, and shows that they come chiefly from the departments in which wine is not produced. He would arrange the alcoholic beverages in the following order of increasing toxicity: Cider, beer, wine, the liquor derived from grain, from potatoes and from beet root. He proposes the national adoption of the following measures: 1. Absolute liberty in the sale of cider, beer and wine on condition that they are of good quality and unadulterated. 2. Government supervision of the manufacture of spirits of all kinds, and the granting of prizes for diminishing their ill effects. 3. The imposition of the highest practicable tax upon spirituous drinks and an insistence upon both good moral character and a severe license in the case of liquor dealers. 4. The punishment of those found in a state of intoxication, and the establishment of refuges for those who cannot refrain from the abuse of strong liquors.—Medical News.
