In CoURT.-In the early days of San
Jose-that is, when the American citi :
zen began to pervade those parts-pro-
ceedings in court assumed "A certain
degree of freedom, or "looseness, char
acteristic of the men and the time. On
one occasion the clerk of the court came
to blows in open court with an attorney
The Judge, instead of causing their ar
rest, cody watched the progress of the
clinch, for the clerk was in favor The
sheriff, knowing the state of the court,
did not interfere. Whenever the favor
ite was on top, or the scuflie apparently
in his favor, the Judge would remark,
" this court is like any body else, and
don't know what is going on until dis
orders are called to its attention" OF
course no person took the liberty of call
ing his honor's attention to the row
in progress under his nose If, how
ever, the scales were likely to be reversed
and the attorney uppermost, the judge
would order the sheriff to quell the dis
tnrbance; but that official understood
that he was TO hasten slowly, and the
belligerents fought it out until separated

ARABIAN HoRsEs. Arabian horses,
says a writer, are especially esteemed
for great speed and endurance of fatigue;
indeed, in this latter quality none come
up to them. To pass twenty-four hours
on the road without drink and without
tagging is certainly something; but to
keep up the same abstinence and labor
conjoned under burning Arabian sky
for forty EIGHT hours at stretch ISL be-
lieve, peculiar to the animals of the
breed. Besides, they have deli
cacy, cannot say of mouth, for it is
common to ride them without bit or bri-
die, but of feeling and obedience to the
knee and thigh, to the slightest check
of the halter and the voice OF the rider,
far surprising whatever the most elabor-
ate manege gives a European horse,
though furnished with snafile, curb and
all. | often mounted them at the invi-
tation of their owners. and without sad
die, rein or stirrup, set them off Mt full
gallop, wheeled them round, brought
them up in mid-career at dead halt,
and that without the least difficulty or
the smallest want of correspondence be-
tween the horses movements and my own
will; the rider on their back really feels
himself the man half of n centaur, not a
distinct being This is, in great part.
owing to the Arab system OF breaking in,

SEA SICKNESS. There are scores of So
times one is etficacious, sometimes an
other, and often none OF them do any
good Still it is always well for those at
sea to know how sea-sickuess Blay be
alleviated and possibly prevented. Sir
James Alderson, in discussing this sub
ject, says that it is not only necessary
to take a recumbent position, but also to
lie in the right direction. A person
lying down with the feet toward the
bows of ship is, while it descends in
pitching, in the same position as per
son in swing descending forward. in
which ca Sc we have seen that sickness is
produced by blood being forced upon
the brain. On the contrary. person
lying down with his head toward the bow
is, during the descent of the ship. in the
position of one descending backward in a
swing in which case the pressure by the
blood will he toward the feet. and there
fore relief, rather than an inconveni-
en- e. will be experienced. the tendency
being to reduce the natural supply of
blood to the brain. 1t is necessary not
only to lie down, but to do so with the
head to the bows, and it is highly desIr-
able that this position should be assumed
before the ship begins to move There
is secondary advantage to he gained by
closing the eyes, and SO shutting out
the confusion arising from the move
ment Of the surrounding objects.

it takes its name. it presented sufficient
attractions to induce him to apply for a
patent and permission to settle there
The request being refused, it came to be
employed as a rendezvous for various
lawless characters. Smuggers sought
reinge there, buccaneers and pirates
made it then hiding place and head
quarters, aud English adventurers-not
on much higher level of morality
stopped there to rest aud recruit until a
favorable time arrived for sweeping
down on the Western coast to pillage
and plnnder. The principal means of
subsistence being the flesh of wild goats,
the Niceroy Of Perm caused large num-
her of dogs to he introduced on the
island the majority of the goats were
hunted down and killed, and period of
peace seems to have followed.

Our Insane Asylums.

A decision in the United States Dis.
rict Court in Vermont. says th,
New York World, restored TO liberty
and TO the control OF his own affairs
citizen Of Philadelphia, who had for
three years been confined as lunatic in
an asylum in Vermont The particulars
Of this case have not yet been made pub
lie; but it appears that the victim had
made bis escape from the asylum, and
we are left to infer that had he not sue
cceded in doing so he might have lin
gered out all his miserable days in the
living death to which he Ind been con-
signed either by malice or by mistake.
Quiet people when they peruse
Charles Reade's ferocious letters to the
press are sometimes tempted to think
that irritable genius little so. his
head But no man has ever painted
more sane and appalling picture OF the
miSeries of n rational man confined
among madmen than the author of Hard
Cash. 1t is sickening to reflect upon
the moral tortures of such position,
and the instincts of simple humanity
apply to it the ancient maxim of the
common law concerning the innocent
and the guilty. 1t is assuredly better
that nine madmen should go unrestrained
than that one sane man should he dealt
with AS mad. In addition to the case of
which news just reaches us from Yer
mont, rnmor declares that certain able
lawyers in this city now have in hand
the wrongs of citizen of New York,
who but recently effected his escape from
one of our own local instit ltions.
1t is impossible, in short, to doubt
that our existing rules in regard to mad
ness and asylums for the mad, are quite
inadequate either to prevent one of the
worst forms of wrong or to remedy il
when undergone.
The regulation requiring the attesta-
tions of two physicians to the fact that
they had examined the alleged lunatic
md found him really insane is practi-
,ally of little consequence. Its value
wholly depends upon the character of
he examiners. If they be men of learn
ng and reputation in their profession,
III is WE'LL if they be the reverse, all is
wrong.

The BAY Charles Francis
Adams, Jr, draws a picture of Massa
chusctts and its people one hundred
years ago, in his late oration, as follows:
"Tbe Massachusetts, of 1872 was Wig
orous community of some two hundred
and seventy Thousand souls, or a poor
twenty thousand more than are now
numbered within the wall of this single
municipality of Boston alone. Its peo-
pie were hardy thrifty race, who TILED
an ungratefuI soil, and navigated
stormy sea; elf-educated, self-sustain-
ing, self-reliant, they looked to no gov
ernment for protection for themselves
or their industry, only too grateful il
the harsh mother who had cast them
forth on the wilderness would abandon
them to work out their own destiny
in their own hard, simple way"

STUNG To DEATH. The bee is some
times formidable creature as poor old
lady who lately lived in Twickenham has
unhappily discovered. This lady,
Miss Hough, sister to the Vicar of Ham
found her chief pleasure, her hives, and
her cherished favorites, the occupants
have literally stung her to death. 1t is
said that bees when swarming, often
choose to alight on the human head.
If let alone they choke, and if disturbed
sting the owner to death. 1t is possible
to escape if the person assailed has great
courage, quickness, and presence of
mind, by sweeping the bees gently but
firmly and dex'erously into hive. Miss
Hough got frightened, and tried to dash
off her tormentors as she might and sad
to say, they attacked her with such
ferocity that before a doctor could be
brought she was dead. The case is a sig
nal warming against keeping pets without
thoroughly understanding their habits.

CURIOUS PoND. Another Vermont
curiosity: Just below the summit of the
Green Mountains, three fourth of mile
South of Hancock turnpike, is a pond
one-hundred rods in length and fifty
wide. which is of unknown depth. 1t
has been sounded one hundred feet and
no bottom found. It is fed by only one
small spring of ice cold water that would
scarcely gil half-inch pipe, while its
outlet is six or eight times as large. Its
waters are very warm. Trout and leeches
of large size inhabit the pond in goodly
numbers, the latter especially.
