The San Francisco Daily Herald, a
strong Democratic paper edited by Hon.
john Nugent, thus refers to the Democrat
ic wire-pullers local ticket and the Peo
pies independent moyementnow started
to defeat it The Herald Of the 10th
says:
1.-The repentance Of the csbal comes too
late. They have pursued their course not
without frequent and earnest warnings
from US. 1t is incomprehensible that the
interests Of the Democratic party could
have been SO listlessly and 50 long entrust-
ed to such selfish and unprincipled keeping.
On the eve of "a most important election. In
which the spoils offices were the least in
consideration, and by which the fate of
some OF the most momentous questions that
ever claimed the attention Of the people of
California was to be decided an effort is
made to render other consideration and
interest subse rvIent to the success of
few ind viduals in their aspirations for
local office. They might have attained
their purpose without especial challenge or
objection, if they had pursued it in the
usual and legitimate way and, in the tre-
mendous upheaval which is now in pro
gress against clique domination, there is
not observable any particular hostility to
individuals so much as resolve to trample
under foot the insolent attempts Of self-cun-
stituted rulers to thrust down the throats
of the people nominations hatched in secret
and made in scorn and defiance Of the right
of the citizens to choose their own servants.
1t is in this spirit the HERALD has opposed
the "slate, and surely in no spirit OF u
charitabeness or unklndness to the gentle
men who, in defiance of all decency, and
contemptuous disregard of the voting mass
es, were determined upon in caucus coun-
els, as its constituents and nominees, long
before any convention sat.
The Democratic party has decided as
tendency aud majority Of votes in this city.
They are permitting those who ass ume the
control OF their deliberations to fritter away
their prospects of success in coming elec-
ton. 1t is really notifying to see great
party, the masses of which are SO true and
loyal to principle, bartered away so shame
lessly. The pigmies have mounted upon
the giants shoulders and are busy crvlng
him of at auction.
We have spoken of the uph eaval that is
in progress. Never in the history of San
francisco has there been such ferment as
is now observable. The people are more
thoroughly aroused then they have been
for years. There is a stern determination
among them not to be imposed upon, and
they are now inclined to join any move
ment that will give them freedom from
caucus dictation

The Eye of an EagIe.


The eye Of all birds have q popularity
# structure which enables them to see
md hear distant objects equally we'll
md the wonderful power is carried to
the greatest perfection in the bird OF
prey. When we reCOlleCt that an eagle
will ascend more than q mile in perpen-
dicular height, and from that enormous
elevation will perceive its unsupectinC
prey and pOunce on it with Unering Ger
tainty, and when we see the same bird
scrutinizing with microscopic nicely an
object close at hand, we shall at once
perceive that he possesses power Of ac-
cOmmOd lting his sight to distance il the
manner to which our eye Is untitted,an
Of which it is totally incapable.
five take printed page we shall find
that there is some particular distance
probably ten inches, at which We car
read the words and see each letter with
perfect distinctness; but if we move the
page to the distance of forty inches we
shall find it impossible to read it at all
scientific men would, therefore, call ter
inches the focus or fOcid distance of Our
eyes. We cannot alter this focus except
by the aid OF spectacles.
But an eagle has the power of altering
the focus Of his eyes as he pleases; he
has only to look at an object at the dis,
tance Of two feet or two miles in order tC
to see with perfect distinctness. The
ball Of his eye is surrounded by fifteeI
little plates, called sciOrotic bones. They
form a complete ring, and their edges
slightly overlap each other.
When he looks at a distant object this
little circle Of bone expands, and the
ball Of the eye is thus squeezed into {
roundeT and more convex form. The
effect is very familiar to everybody
A person with very round eyes is near
sighted, and only sees clearly an Object
that is close to him; and a pesrOn with
fiat eyes, as in old age can see nothing
except at a distance. An eagle by the
mere will, can make his eyes round OF
fiat, and can see with equal cleaTness at
anv distance.
