THEAIMcAL.-Theatricals are so dull

HERo1SE.-Tbe San Luls Obispt

A HERorNE.-The San Luis Obispo
Tribune of Dune oath relates this incl
dent:
The stage from San Francisco was
some four or FIVE hours behind time on
Friday, the 10Th instant. The occa-
sion was as follows: At about 8 A. N.
Of that day, 1t was on Its way from
Pleito Station to the Nacimiento river,
when the driver, whose name Is Henry
-, took out his watch to observe the
time, holding tho lines meanwhile In
one hand. One of the leaders, hap
pening to be Of the stumbling kind,
fell down, and on rising jerked the
reins from the drivers hand. The
team then. started to turn, and the
driver jumped from his box, with the
intention Of heading the horses of.
On reaching the ground his LEFT leg
was broken by the fall, producing a
very severe compound fracture. Be-
ing perfectly helpless, the stage passed
over his hip, and the horses returned
back toward the Pleito for a distance
of three miles, finally upsetting the
vehicle. Luckily, there was a young
lady aboard of the Grace Darling kind,
a school teacher, who was on her way
to take charge Of a school at San Mi
guel. Her name has $een given to us
as Miss Plunkett. This lady climbed
out of the stage, through the window,
unhitched the horses and tied them to
the wheels Of the conveyance. Lucki-
ly, there was o band of cattle nea
where the upset took place. Procur-
Ing the assistance Of one Of the va
queros to take charge of the horses,
the heroic young lady walked back In
the dark a distance Of three miles, In
search Of the driver. On arriving
where the poor fellow was, she bound
up his leg, packed him water to allay
his burning thirst, and stayed with
him two hours until assistance came.
DR.. Hays, who was called upon to at
tend the injured man, assures US that
If a drawknife and suitable material
had been on hand, she would have had
the mans leg set and properly bound
up in splints before daylight. The
young lady is from Oakland, and Ia
only about eighteen years of age.

A GRAVE JoKE.-rhe following Is
related by the San Rafael Journal Of
the 9th:
Among the many invalids who have
visited this locality this season to re-
gain their health there were several
liquor dealers from San Francisco.
One day last week M Of the party
-conceived the idea that it would be n
capital joke to telegraph to the city
that one Of his companions was no
more in the land Of the living. On
receipt of the telegram his friends shut
his store, put Grape on the door, and
Informed all the neighbors Of the de-
mise of their genial friend. They
made extensive preparations for re-
cciving his body, and quite a number,
in company with the undertaken and
hearse and coffin, came over to San
Rafael to bring his body home. I'M
agine the surprise of the grief-stricken
party, OIL their arrival here, Of finding
the supposed corpse walking around
the streets, looking mainly due to San
Rafael climate and living as If he
wanted to become acquainted more
with a grocery store than all under
taking establishment. The party who
perpetrated the hoax vas not visible
Tor some time, or there might have
been a funeral in earnest. The mourn
ers returned to the city rather sore.
but very glad to find their friend had
not, nor IS likely to for many years to
| come, "shuifled off the mortal coil"

PoIsoN INCUBATION FROM A CoRpsE.
The M~arysville appeal Of the 2lth In
slant says:
Yesterday Coroner Hamilton met
with what would have o o proved a
fatal accident to one unacquainted
with the effects Of incubation, from
tile virus of the corpse of a Chlnaman,
who died from the effects of opium.
The Cinnamon wanted the corpse put
IN n coffin, and in lifting the corpse
out the head rolled over, and ooze
from the mouth ran across the Coro-
ner's wrist. Being much heated and
perspiring freely, the virus was i'm
mediately absorbed, and In a minute
the hand commenced b~listering and
swelling. He Immediately went to
Hornung's drug store and there eau
terized all the blisters, thus checking
the spread Of the poison. This, with
internal remedies, sased the pain and
stopped the further swelling and dis
coloration Of the arm. Last night he
WIS ut his work Us usual, though the
pain in the hand was severe, and the
swelling had not entirely abated. 1t
was rather Il close shave for the Coro-
ner.

STEAM VS.. HORSE FLEsH.-Thc Ma
rysyille STANDARD of the 9th has the
following
Passengers by the Vallejo train Of
cars due in this city at 2:20 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon witnessed an OK
citing race between the locomotive and
six horses, who refused to leave the
grade between the tule trestle work
and Suffers. station. The engineer
blew his whistle, and kept blowing,
and the horses continued to keep at the
head of the engine. After q race Of
about three miles three Of the horses
flew the track, but the other three kept
up the race for two miles further, when
they concluded that steam had more
endurance than horse flesh. During
the contest for possession Of the track
the passengers Of the train occupied
no enviable position.

from the Los Angeles News of juno

and Is more numerous In the orange
groves this year than for several years
past. 1t Is said that the dry seasons
are worry favorable to the rapid increase
and development Of this little pest,
which has the good taste to prefer the
orange tree as a place OF residence, al
though not unfrequently attacking the
lemon and lime. Don Mateo Keller
has taken the field against the invader
Of his orchard, aud Is having all of his
infested trees washed with strong soap
and water, by which means he expects
to abate the nuisance and destroy the

THE INCOME TAX A

The Anti-Income Tax Association at
New York Is persistent in its opposi-
tion to the collection Of the tax, Its
attorney, within a few days, having
applied for all Injunction to restrain
a Collector In Brooklyn from respect
ing the law In that district, and an
order to show cause why a perpetual
Injunction should not issue has been
granted by the Supreme Court. This
decided action will bring up the whole
question for argument, and while the
proceedings are pending the citizens
of four c~ounties-the whole OF Long
Island and Staten Island-may enjoy
the use Of their money. The case will
probably be argued upon the point
that the tax is unconstitutional. Mr..
Eyarts, in his exhaustive argument
before the United States Court, defined
the law relating to direct and Indirect
taxation, and taxation In proportion
to representation, and made a clear
demonstration Of the unconstitution-
atty OF this imposition. All the au-
thorities agree that a tax is direct when
it IL taken directly from income or
capital !; and this Is precisely what the
Income tax does-while the Constitu-
ton of the United States declares that
"direct taxes shall be apportioned
among the several States according to
their respective numbers" and that
"no 'capitation or other direct tax
shall be laid, unless in proportion to
the census" The question now to be
decided Is Of great moment to every
interest. So long as the exigencies Of
the Government, In a time OF war, re-
ouired the exercise Of extraordinary
powers, obedience was given /; but the
occasion has passed away. The i'll
come tax has ceased to be necessary
it has ceased to be profitable and We,
official influence has prevailed over
Congress and over the protests Of the
taxpaying community. Recourse to
the Courts Is now the Legitimate re-
sort.
