A WEIGHTY JoKE.-The Sierra Dem
ocrat tells capital story about He
brew in st. Louis who was called upon
by the Sealer of Weights and Measures,
and, under the impression that the Off
cial was paid by the State, ran hastily
around to his neighbors and brought
into his own store for inspection and
recti6cation all the weights in town.
He thought he had good thing on the
Sealer until that individual, who was
no doubt surprised by the rare alacrity
and oficiousness of the Israelite, pre-
scented his bill for $24.50. Louis,
laughing, asks, "Vas is dat ?" The
officer told him that the man using the
weights pays the expense Of sealing.
"Mein Got! quoth Louis, 81 tot der
State pays you! Veil, dat is good
shoke-dere is burty much all de Weights

and here's the money" The Sealer

GOLD THEoRIEs.-A writer in the
San Andreas Independent argues in ia
vor of the theory that electricity is the
agent by which gold is deposited in
quartz. This idea is not new, but past
experiments have not substantiated it as
probable. Another recent theory is
that gold is the product of vegetable
decay, the theorist urging that gold has
never been found in places barren of
vegetable growth, and that it has been
found in the ashes Of plants. An inge-
NOUS friend of ours once suggested
that the prevalent yellow color of Cali
fornia flowers is due to the presence of
the precious metal. He did not know
that G. erman chemist had claimed to
have extracted gold from the petals of
the violet. When it is discovered how
gold is formed the dream of the alche-
mists will be realized. We may ven
ture to express a hope that electrical
currents will never affect the metallic
currency of the world.

THE INDECENT SICK.

The regulations for taking care Of the
INDECENT sick, are SO imperfect that not
outstanding the Hospital tax is levied
and collected equally in all parts Of the
county, butfew receive benefit therefrom.
This is in consequence of there being
but one physician appointed, and but
one place in this large county where those
who are unfortunate enough to fall upon
its charities for relief, can be taken care
of. 1t is impossible that patients labor
ing under the depressing influence of fe-
yers, and other diseases which are Incl
dentto our climate, can with any ordinary
degree Of safety be taken to Nevada from
any part of the "Ridge," in consequence
of the long and steep hills to 60 down
and up, before reaching that place.
All the INDECENT sick, or nearly so,
from one end of the ridge to the other,
are taken care of by their immediate
neighbors, or by way Of subscription
hence it is apparent to every one that
there is no fairness in the present Hos
pital regulations of this county. say
this county, because the Legislature has
enacted such laws that each county must
attend to its own matters in this line.
Now the only mode of relief which I
can fall upon is to divide the county in
to two or more "indigent sick districts, -
and let the care of the INDECENT sick in
the different districts be provided for by
the board of Supervisors, asat present.
1 know that many would object to this
plan because it would cost more than un-
der the present arrangement; grant it so.
The object of the law is humane, and
intends that all the INDECENT sick shall
be taken care of without regard to what
expenses may be necessarily incurred for
their comfort.
The Legislature has made ample pro-
vision that each county may be enabled
to meet all emergencies of the kind
The Board Of Supervisors should no
longer permit SO badly regulated an in
stitution as our county Hospital to con-
tinue, without such organization that its
salutary influence would fall upon all
alike. 1t is to be hoped that the Board
will look into this matter carefully, and
bring about the happy result so much de-
sired by the
PUBLIC.
