Painting Faces.

The really mystifying fact belonging to
this style of painting is, that such persons
as devote 'hemselves to it do not paint to
deceive. No one can be in the neighbor-
hood of such face and not know that it
is painted. Nobody ever preiends that
people are stippled blue by nature. IL is
not, then, done to deceive, but because,
on deliberalion, art is preferred to nature.
Some womer would rather be artificial
than real. Can there be- anything ia this
world more astonishing Let the fact be
chronicled and kept. Let the deed be
considered and pronounced upon. We
are not going to say here that the prac-
tce is ugly in it's results. There is un-
doubtedly certain strange sort OF
beauty in the performance. But is this

A Bill 10 License Gambling In CALI
fOrnia.

From the San Francisco Bulletin. Dec. 49,
A bill has been introduced in the Leg
;sleinfe Of this State by Senator Green.
and referred to the Committee on Public
Morals, ostensibly ITO restrict gaming F"
by granting legal license to follow It.
The bill provides that "auy person may
procure license for carrying on any
of the usual gambling games upon pay
iug to the sheriff in any county polling
two thousand or more votes $3.50 quar-
trrly IN any other county, $3.50. Each
license must locate and describe the room
iu which gambling is to be carried on,
aud will be good for only one of the
games specified, which ore faro, monte,
roulette, lsnsquenette, rouge-et-noir, rom
de-, or any banking game played With
cards, dice or any other device, whether
the same be played for money, checks,
credit, or any other representative of
value. A separate license must be pro
cured for each separate game. Gambling
without license is made punishable by a
fine of not less than $1,000. nor more
than $4,000, or by Imprisonment 10 the
county jail not less than three nor more
than twelve months, or both such fine
and imprisonment; aud the same penal
ties are attached to renting rooms for
unlicensed gambling.

rhn sfncl.ton Calamity.

Tie memory Of the dreadful Avondale
disaster Is revived hy the details Of this
unfortunate sffsir in Pennsylvania. From
The way the mines are worked in those
coal regions the only wonder lie that these
disasters do no, happen oftener. What
with the greed of the capitalists who own
them, and the recklessuess Of the la.
borers, there is but little security for men
working in them; then the disposition
to "rush things," and the danger from
fire increase the chances for acciSsnts.
These coal tragedies illustrate the cynical
maxim that "ihere's Boihing as cheap
as fssh and blood" A few dozens or
hundreds of poor creatures toiling under
ground who may be suddenly burned
alive or suffocaies can be easily replaced,
and in The meantime the capitalist suf-
fers little or none. The only thing which
would give the owrer an interest in pro-
,eciiug the miners by having proper
exits from the mines and otherwise pro-
viding for their safety, would be to make
the owners iDdictable for murder when
ever an accident occurred which was
clearly their fault.

1 ightins street Lamps by Elec.
tricity.


Last evening, after the adjournment oi
the Councils, the members witnessed an
exhibition of the Bostonian invention oi

electricity. The trial was made On the
lamps in Iodepes dence Square, and was
found to prove, in every respect, salts.
factory, but few seconds being required
to extinguish or light The lamps 10 the
square.
The apparatus consists of small box
about two and half inches square,
wtseh is attached to each burner. The
boxes are connected by wire with o
central office, something after the fashion
of our Grc-boxes. A small battery and
one operator can control the entire city
The wires which are required for the pur.
pose are encased in a small tube, and
can be laid under ground. A city can
be divided up into circuits of one hun
dred lamps each. II will require about
four minutes to light one circuit. The
circuits ell started at the same time by
means Of clockwork, worked by telegraph
and separate batteries. The time now
required to light and extinguish the
lamps by hand is about two hours.
Ine boxes uuder the burners are so
arranged that tho lamps of each circuit
light successiveiy, and not simulta
neously, so that mach less electric
force can bs used. One cell with a
Rumpkoff coil is sufficient to light the
ctrcuit. The gas is not turned on at one
general head, ahd then lighted, but each
burner, by an automatic arrangement,
turns the gas both off and on, as may be
wanted. Thete is thus no waste of gas.
Tae gas does not bave to be lit before It
is wanted. Il can be turred on and of
in a short lime, and several times in one
night if the weather should make it
necessary. The cost of employing the
boxes is about five dollars to each lamp,
not incudi og the laying of wires. The
cost of inJroduciiou, it is said, is more
than made up in the course of one year
by the saving of gas and the wages OF
lighters.

american Girls in Europe

A letter writer. now abroad thus re-
marks upon the comparative beauty OF
Z iglish aud American girls:

beauty, which is most satisfactory and
enduring, and most of which will wash.

from New York to New Orleans, has
spoiled my eyes for the other; and when

along comes a group Of my fair country
women on their travels, and they spell u
all eQaip. Those dear Yankee girls
fear you DO not half appreciate them al

them-that is, the men admire ans the
women envy. On the continent they
rave about then.
Half dozen American bellies send Q

only their beauty and grace, but their
wit, spirit and happy sudacily. The con-
tinental customs favor their iriumpbs.

rang door bells, or threw cab-

peering out into the night, forgetting
that it was Hallow Zen, wondering
"Who could have pulled that door,

it young again, we hope they will be
willing to let the boys who come after
them have their fun on Hallow Fer.

When Dawkins had that shop OF yours

Soap, candles, tape and button blue,
He made IL pay, and why don't YOU
He answered slowly, Its no go,
But what's the reason, dun no"
SO seeing Dawkins shortly soon,"
Seq leone here, you sly old coon,
And tell me how you made your money;
Now do not look so mighty funny
How did you make your cash, say,
When keepin store Just up the way"
"There's SlopSon, civil and polite,
Who always tries TO do what's right,
His stock is good, his store is clean,
Yet no one near the door Is SEEN"
