SAN FRAScIsco, September 1.-THE
sensation to-day was the Hayes-Hig-
gins haud-organ procession. Long be-
fore the time for starting arrived Mont
gomery street was literally thronged
with men, women and children. Every
window, roof and balcony, was appro-
priated by crowds of people anxious to
witness the proceedings. Promptly at
IL o'clock the procession moved from
jackson street down Montgomery. Mr..
Higgins with his hsnd-organ, was pre-
coded BY "a carriage in which rode
Messrs. Badger and Sweeny; close be-
hind him was special officer Bloomer,
carving a small sized monkey on his
shoulder; then came Kidd's Band. A
large force Of policemen under Chief
Crowley accompanied them. The ex-
element knew no bounds, and in the
din and uproar of the vast throng close
" hacked around the performerand surg
ing to and fro the music of the little piping
organ could not be heard more than
forty feet. Considerable sums were
brought to the collectors, but the prin-
cipal part was thrown into the street.
Half dollars and packages Of money
came flying from every direction, and
as they fell the crowd would pick them
from the ground and throw them over
to the carriage. Carpets, clothing,
books, etc., came flying p~romiscuously
from windows, roofs and balconies on
the heads Of the crowd beneath. They
were placed in and on the carriage in
which the treasirers rode. Fully eight
thousand people were on Montgomery
street, and the utmost endeavors Of u
large number of officers were required
to make room for Higgins and his party.
As it was, they were nearly four hours
going from Jackson to Market street,
Including o visit to the banks on Cali
fornia street. During this time another
procession, with wagons, visited Front
and Battery streets and collected o large
quantity Of merchandise Of every descrip-
iiou-tobacco and whisky excepted. At
this hour the result has not been an
nouuced, but the cash receipts approx
mated FIVE thousand dollars.

An exchange suggests that where
there are no cooperative stores, people
of small means may realize important
economies by uniting in the purchase OF
many household supplies in bulk. A
saving of from three to ten cents per
pound in articles Of constant use
amounts TO something in the course OF
the year. Men of property understand
this, and buy their supplies in bulk,
while those who most need to economist
think it impossible because they have
only the means at hand to purchase in
limited quantities. OF course the grocer
who weighs out and delivers his goods
in small mounts cannot live without a
large per centage Of profit. He would
be glad to sell in larger amounts at a
much less profit, and if people would
form he'habit Of buying in bulk, the
machinery and cost Of distributing might
be greatly reduced, to the advantage Of
all classes. This can be done in many
things by families clubbing together
and buying their supplies at wholesale.
A saving of from Is to IS per cent may
thus be effected, which is not a trivial
consideration with those who find it
difficult to make their wants and re-
sources balance.

Tho sacramento Stale R.ir.

1t is quite common for friends to ad-
wise one another to "keep cool. take
things easy and letthe world move along.
while they enjoy what Of the good things
it affords and bear tho evil me with u
good grace, even though they are sour"
These are evidently philosophical and
wholesome directions, but who among
us can lay claim to the strict observance
thereof? Why, the very first thing
every one wishes to find is excitement
and that. condition Of mind which is
best suited to the varied taste Of discon-
tented humanity and seems TO be farthest
from GOODNESS or taking things easy.
The young man, midile-aged, and elder
ly father guzzle down alcoholic liquors
by the quart per day for the pleasure
found in the excitement. That unso-
phisticsted youth and soft old greeney
places his hard-earned dollar on the turn
Of u card because it is II pleasing excite
ment. The strange womsn entangles
the inexperienced in her meshes of de-
ception, and ere he is extricated there
from fieeces him o. his change because
be was in search Of excitement. Sweet
sounds Of music allure many an inno-
cent, w~sll-meaniug man into the dens
Of iniquity, and before he leaves his
money is gone and he only has remain
ing many causes for regret Of his eager
ness to find excitement. These remarks,
we hope, will not be regarded rs q hon.
lily on morals, but merely allusion which
requires but little reflection to discover
that they have a direct practical appli-
cation at the present time. New places,
games and tricks, with alluring attrac-
tons, are under full Roadway in the
city just now, for the sole purpose Of
catching the unsuspectiug and innocent
ly inexperienced, and fleeing them Of
their money. The only sure way to beat
the games is to keep away from them.
But should any meet the fate Of the
preacher who staked his watch on the
duce, and lost it, let them have the
frankness that he did-admit the waru-
ing was given but not needed. We
heard considerable complaint yesterday
relative to exorbitaut prices for meals
and lodging being charged strangers BY
some Of our bosrding-houses and hotels
since the Fair. commenced. Such Il
course is not only bad policy, bad treat
ment and bad taste, but it borders on
msanness. However, this matter has
been looked after by the Committee Of
Reception, and notice is given that BY
application being made to the Commit
tee, we'll furnished rooms Can be had at
reasonable rates.-U Union.

Overlooking is one great cause OF
discomfort; remember this when you
are tempted to feed it more to stop its
cries.
Mothers, use your dear children to
fresh air If they are warmly clothed, II
they avoid drafts they will not suffer;
have their room warm and we'll venti-
lated day and night; they will thus be
free from colds and other maladies.
Mothers, dress your children for their
health and comfort, no matter what
fashion dictates. Its eItremities should
always DO kept warm. In order to do
this its arms must be covered with sew
eral t%hicknesses; if the weather is cold,
you can find ample scope for inventive
genius in knitted sacks, undersleeves,
and numberless things; you can devise
ways enough if you are really deter-
mined to dress ~hygienically.
rEErHING.
There is more or less disturbance Of
the digestive organs and bowels during
~teething. The child should be fed more
carefully, if possible, than ordinarily.
If it is feverish at night, take a soft
piece of cloth Of two thicknesses, wide
enough to reach from its arms to its
thighs, and long enough to reach around
it; wet in tepid or quite cool water,
put it around the child and cover it
with soft flannel a little longer than the
cloth; if this dries during the night, re-
wet it. Should the child be really sick,
give it an enema Of tepid water and also
a bath; then apply the compress, and,
nineteen cases in twenty, it will be well
in the morning, and not harmed by
doses.
II we would remember that pain and
sickness are always the result Of an eff
fort on the part of the system to rid
itself Of some offending matters, and
only wants gentle assistance, we should
hesitate in using harsh measures, par
ticularly with children, for their sys-
TENS are so active that, if let alone, they
will soon from the numerous
ills to which they are subject.
The excitement produced by the effort
Of the system in ~teething, is much sg-
~grevated by any arrangement in the d.
gestive organs. 1t is sven more i'm
portant now that they should be care
fully and regularly fed, that they should
sleep as much as possible; give them
fresh air and outdoor exercise. II the
bowels are too loose don't give astrin-
gents, moi ever fine -four, keep them
quiet, give them less to eat, and u daily
bath; put the girdls on them at night;
have patience, wait, and they will soon
be better. Try this once thoroughly,
aud you will ''throw physic to the
dogs" as we'll as all other drugs OF
whatever nature.-Hsrah Of Health.

FRoLIcsoME VENTURES.

All over now. OF course but we are
reminded of them in going irto Court
and hearing a case called in which
"Uncle SAM the mine, is concerned.
In the days when twenty dollar pieces
were too loose to be of >sordid account,
the ''Uncle Sam" and my "'Mag Ann
were great institutions for Gold Hill
speculation. Heaven bless us, how
men do change with the times, or alter
or resume their real nature. We recol-
lect when the "Trojan aud Gold Dust
Company was lin its prime, that folks
who are now "tighter nor Shadows
buskius on F~allstaff" were "as liberal
as the sun 10 dog days" And-this is
the s,rsngsst thing-some who were
graspiug in those days, and didn't sue
coed, are now Flooding along in legiti-
mate efforts, working for moderate,
regular pay, and noted in our commu-
mites as generous TO a fault. If you
will run over, lin your mind-uot with
your ehaise } your list Of intimate ac-
qusintsnces from go, you will con-
firm thisreport.
Why, il was a common joke, in 1868,
to venture a cool thousand on the undo

twenty Senators to be chosen at the
late election, says the Sacramento Bee.
Union men have been chosen in the
10th, llth, goth, 2lst, 2sd, Gath, 26th,
and il is believed 10 the 9th Districts
the litter being composed of the eoun-
ties Humboldt, klamath and Del Norte.
There are thirteen Union Senator's
among the %hold-overs, so that if the

will be in the Senate q Union majority
Of one, but IL the district has been car
ried by the Democrats the party votes

ELECTIONS IN THE EAsr.-The news Of
the California election will have n direc,
and powerful effect upon those Of the
following States, which are to be held
during the Fall as follows:
Maine, Sept. 9th ; Pennsylvania, In.
diana and Ohio, Oct. 9Th New York,
New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesota, Illinois and Kansas, Nov. 9Th.
When the papers from those States
reach US to tell the extent Of that infu-
euce the Union men who have aided in
bringing about the disaster will realize
the true character of the work in which
they have been engaged. Had Sherman
disbanded his army in the heart Of Geor.
Eia and turned his arms over to the reb.
els, the effect would have been scarcely
more disastrous to the Union cause and
certainly would have been as excusable
in him as the action of the disatfected
Of the Union party In Californi" Sac
Record.

JEALOUSY AMONG THE CoSFKprRArrs.
The Examiner of last evening has the
following:
"tTHe Independent Press.'"-whilst
there is, undoubtedly, much credit due
to the Independent journals for their
course in che late canvass, yet the glo-
rious result is by no means attributable
to them alone. We unhesitatingly con-
cede them great acumen in shutting afar
of the breeze that was coming over our
State-the keen d~iscernment Of the
threatened revolution in public senti-
ment, and the smartpess to shape their
course so as to be found on the side OF
the strong and popular. But when the
presumptuous Bulletin claims that it
aud the Sacramento Union did it all,
we are disposed to go over the ground
and ask the public to soberly examine
into the facts, and whilst awarding
credit where it is due, not magnify into
too great importance the part borne by
those papers"
Now, this is too bad. Has the Exam
,nsr no generosity, 10 magnanimity?
Has It no fraternal feeling? Cant it
afford to lay aside its foolish jealousy
a allow its best friends, its strongest
ailies, to enjoy the sweet reflection that
they ibid it ALL and to claim even the
lions share Of the glory Of the late e1.

How 1T FEELS TO BE ScALPED.-Wil-
liam Thompson, a telegraph repairer
along the line Of the Union Pacific Rail-
road, has had a novel experience. He
has been scslped by Indians, and yet
lives to tell the tale. He lost his hair
lust before the capture Of the train at
Plum Creek Station, recently reported,
and this is the story he tells to the Won
dering citizens Of Omaha, where he now
is:
About 9 o'clock, Tuesday night, my
self and FIVE others left Plum Creek
Station, and started up the track on n
hand-car to hunt up where the break in
the telegraph was. When we came to
where the break proved to be, we saw
a lot Of ties piled on the track, but at
the same moment Indians jumped up
from the grass all around, and fred on
Us. We fred two or three shots 10 re-
turn, and then, as the Indians pressed
on US, we ran away. An Indian on a
pony singled me out, and gallopsd up
to me. After coming to within ten feet
of me be fred, the bullet entering my
right arm {; seeing me still run, he club
bed his rife and knocked me down. He
then stabbed me in the neck with his
knife, and then making a twirl round his
fingers with my hair, be commenced saw
ing and hacking away at my scalp.
Though the pain was awful, and / felt
dizzy and sick, l knew enough to keep
quiet. And what seemed to be half an
hour, be gave the last finishing cut to
the scalp on my left temple, and as it
still hung q little, he gave it a jerk. l
just thought then that l could shave
screamed my life out. can't describe
it % you. It Just felt as if the whole
head was taken right of. The Indian
then mounted and galloped away, out
as he went he dropped my scalp within
q few feet Of me, which | managed to
get aud hide. The Indians were thick
in the vicinity, or I then might have
made my escape. While lying down I
could hear the Indians moving around
whispering to each other, and then
shortly after placing distractions on
the track. After lying down about an
hour and a half, l heard the low rum
bling Of the train as it came tearing
along, and / might have been able to
flag it off had I dared.
