ANTI-MONGOLIANISN Run MAD The
California Assembly actually inserted in the
nev Quarantine Act . provision requiring
every Chinaman, on landing, to be vacinated
BY an officer who is to receive $40 for the job,
and prohibiting the removal from the State
of the remains of dead Chinese, under a
penalty of another $40 in each case. OF
course the motive Of these provisions is not
actually to promote health, but to make a
speciai revenue out of the Chinese, and to
discourage their immigration. The attempts
to accomplish these objects in other ways
having been declared unconstitutional, it II
now sought to accomplish them BY indirec-
ticn, under the color of sanitary laws. The
provisions quoted are nevertheless contempt
ibly mean and unworthy Of great State. 1t
il = sufficient commentary ON the vaccination
clause to say that the Chinese at home prac-
lice innoculasion almost universally, and that
when small pox was extensively epidemic in
San Francisco it did not break out in the
crowded quarters of the Chinese. The pro-
hibitiou a. to removal Of the dead 10 simply
shameful. There has been no such extreme
example Of bigotyy in. partisan Legislation
elsewhere that Ne can call to mind. Or have
ths Democsaes in the Assembly really fallen
90 much in love With the Mongolians that
they haee 10 mart sse1 With his dry bones

Ere SALvB.-Ths Springfield TN
Journal records . trial In the County
Court which 10 interesting to all persons
who have ophthalmia. Torrey, the
plaintiff, had inflamed eyes. He saw
advertised the celebrated +" DR.. Walkers
Chemical Eye Salve." and he purchased
. boz of that renowned medicament.
He applied it to one eye before going TO
bed, and of that eye he awoke in the
morning stone blind-to the damage,
as he said in his declaration, of $40, 900.
Upon this, to make matters sure, he
salved the eyes of a dog with the same
sovereign remedy, and the dog became
as blind as Homer in a few hours. The
defendant, the druggist who sold it,
proved, however, that two hundred per.
sons had used the salve, and that none
of them had totally lost their sight.
Verdict for the defendant. Moral: Be
careful how You use quack preparations
for the eye, and, whatever happens,
never sue q druggist.-Aedieal Surgical
Reporter.

CARL YoRK's HAM.-Dan De guile
relates the following pathetic circum :
stances in yesterdays Enterprise:
The man suspected of stealing Carl York s
ham, out at Mountain City, has just been
caueh,-at Mud Springs. The following are
the circumstances The snow became very
long and the grass very short out in Cope,
when i. was rumored that Carl York was the
lucky possessor of 4 fine large ham. The
news spread like wild-fre through the camp
at Mountain City. Next morning Carl found
a large hole in his tent, but found no ham.
He might have found Shem and Japhet. but
''ham" was missing. He had his suspicious.
He went after the suspected party, and TAX
ing him to his tent made him pull of one
of his boots. Putting the boot into the track
that was plainly to be seen at the side OF his
tent, the fit was found to be exact. Carl talk
ed of the Constable, an arrest, ETC.. when his
man said-'why, you don't think would
steal your ham, York - "Vell, no" said
York, "but den you see have my suspicious,
Yohnny !" Yohnny made his escape the
same night, and the boot having been sent
this way in search of him, no man could be
found whom it would fit until the town Of
Mud Springs, California, was reached. In
that place they found a foot that would fit it
size No. Is. The man upon whom the ham
theft has thus been fastened claims to be
from Oregon, but is doubtless the real "Yohn-
ny" from Cope.

ABOUT A JAIL DELIvERY.-It seems
that Sheriff Irwin came near losing
some of his pets the other night. The
White Pine News of the 9th inst. says
Just after dark, last night, Judge
Beatty bad occasion to pass the south
ern wall of the Courthouse, when he
heard . grating noise on the inside,
where the Jail cells are situated. He
called the atlestioa of Sheriff Irwin to
the fact, when that officer went to the
wall aud listened until be was satisfied
that some of the prisoners were attempt
ing to dig through. He sent q deputy
inside, to examine into the mstter. The
latter found Clifford and Moore 1.-THE
stage robbers), Who occupied the cell
next the wall, busily at work and
eagerly gazing out upon the ''besutifnl
snow" One of them had brought the
blade Of case knife TO Jail with him,
concealed in the bottom of bis boot.
This had been manufactured into a saw,
with which the wooden wall of the cell,
six inches thick Of plank bolted together,
had been sawed out, and all the brick
of the main wall Of the Courthouse
taken out except the outer one. The
mortar between the outer bricks had
been picked out, 90 that the prisoners
could see the open world. Or being
discovered, one Of the prisoners cody
remarked: "It is our business to get
out of here, and yours to keep % II you
can" Both prisooers we're then %.
eurely ironed, aud will to-day be placed
in the inner cell vacated BY Howard.

An ALASKA PocAHoNrAs.-Why is moi
Ootzanhoo as fitting . local habitation
for romance as Virginia; Why is not
Shick-Shanny as poetical a name as
as Pocahontas and Why is not Captain
Sullivan q name as suggestive of hero
ism under sufferings and danger as tina,
of Captain John Smith Why not, to be
surf, when the Alaska Times of January
% relates the following true story That
paper tells us:
By the arrival of Shick-Sbanny, a
chiefess oflhe Kake tribe of Indians, We
learn that the schooner "Langley,
Sullivan. Master, Was wrecked near
Ootzanhoo that the vessel is q total
loss, and that the Captain and another
man succeeded in swimming ashore, but
the Indians took them prisoners and
carried them to their village, where the
unfortunate men we're made slaves. On
the arrival of Shick ShanDy at the viii
lsge, upon the information being COM
municated to her. she generously offered
TO take the two white men in her canoe
to Sitks, but was refused, unless she
would pay the savages twenty blankets
as ransom. Immediately on the arri-
val of Shick-Shanny at Sitka, she re-
ported the matter and presented letter
from one of the white men to Gen. Tomp-
kins, who, 10 the absence of Gen. Davis,
commands this Department. Gen.
Tompkins went Immediately on board
the q. s. Man of War "Cyane" and re-
quested the assistance Of Capt. Hopkins,

placed at the service of the Commanding

NJ JoHx Fl. KIxKEAD, our former fel-
Low townsman, is, as may not be gen.
orally known, located at Sitka, Alaska
Territory. Ii seems that q mulish fel-
low, named Manasse, has been acting
meanly toward John Henry, and that an
honest Mayor clipped bis Nanassinine
name for him. Says the Alaska Times
of January %:
On Saturday last, Mr.. A. Levy, rs
agent for J. N. Manasse, sued out an in
junction against J. H. Kiokead, prohi-
biting him from erecting q certain build
ing close TO a store owned BY eaid Man
asse. Mr.. Kinkead filed q counter
af6davit and asked that the injunction
be dissolved. His Honor, the Mayor,
heard the testimony presented, and on
the following Monday rendered q lengthy
opinion giving Judgment 10 favor of Mr.
Kinkead and dissoising the Injunction.

BREcKIsRIDGE seems disposed to re-
deem himself. The telegraph reports
him as follows:
LOUISVILLE, March 9.-General Breckin-
ridRe, in an argument in criminal trial at
Lexingtoo, denounced the Kuk-Klux IS
either idiots or villains, and asserted his free
dom from them and his readiness to form
one of the Sheriff 3 posse to arrest and bring
them to justice.
There are some hopes for Kentucky
when men of Breckinridge's influence
and standing thus fearlessly pronounce
against the outrages of ex-Confederate
bushwh ackers.
