Advices from Mexico give rumor that Governor

OF absence to visit the interior. The Governor Is
represented as exerting his influence in behalf OF
more liberal legislation by the State Legislature.
The system of taxation lately introduced is regarded
as unsuccessful Most OF the influential citizens win

road robbers were recently captured and shot near
Colma. Terrible land slides had occurred in diner

fly desperately to pickles for relief, but
dnd none. Even pickles are only q com
pound Of verdigris, copperas, arsenic, prus-
sic acid, belladonna; even the gherkins them
selves have had the sunbeams extracted from
them, as described by Gulliver, and there is
nothing left but poisonous fruit, bitter to the
taste az toads' tongues. But amid the sounds
of wailing there are suddenly heard cheers
and cries Of joy. Relief is found; an anti
dote is discovered. Where? In short weights.
Fortunately for the community, fortunately for
the lives of all our men, women and children
the grocers don't sell full weights, and hence
the danger Of desolation and annihilation is
still remote. Heaven only knows what would
become of the people if these dealers in drugs
and poisonous compounds sold full weight.
They would all go to kingdom come as
swiftly as fat-bottomed skif would glide
over Niagara.
Seriously, how strange 1t is that the analyses
Of these alleged poisonous compounds do not
always agree, even when performed by the
same chemists. A sample Of liquor, for in
stance, is taken to an analyzer, and it is pro-
nounced everything that is bad and injurious,
poisonous and deadly. A sample of the same
liquor is presented for analyzation by another
party and it is declared free from impurities,
unaduterated, good and wholesome. Not to
add deeper crimson to the infamy that
already marks the inqnisitions Of these Bo-
hemian pokenoses, they should at least have
taken the precaution to have had correct
analyses taken Of the various compounds they
had examined. But we see these analyses ofthe
same article, taken by the same chemist, do not
agree. Somebody therefore, must be wrong.
Who is to blame? Can it be that such pro-
found, learned and world-renowned chemists
and philosophers as Professor Draper and Pro-
fessOr Doremus have been duped and bam-
boozled into lending their professional counte-
nance to the nefarious schemes of these needy
and Irresponsible Bohemians? They are
reputed to enjoy comprehensive knowledge
of the highest and most mysterious labyrinths
in the regions of chemistry and natural and
physical philosophy. Is it possible they lack
common sense? Although perfect in the ave-
nues Of science are they only dull plodders in
the walks of everyday wisdom? But, after
all, they may not be to blame any more than \
those other worthy men, the grocers and
traders, who have been SO grossly lbelled by
these Bohemians. 1t is possible that the lat
ter, not satisfied in their devilish malice to
destroy the regulations Of honest tradesmen,
must needs essay to damage those Of our
most respectable chemists and philosophers
Be that as it may, it is certain that the indig-
nation of the community, as well as the more
practical operation of the law Of libel, has
compelled these Bohemian harpies to seek
their polluted nests, from which it will be
dangerous for them to emerge for long time
