A New York letter, of Monday, says
'.The streets in the lower part of the
city to-day presented an unusual specta-
Gle, reviving ones recollections OF the
late Franco. German war. A body OF
about 1000 natives Of Alsace and Lor-
raine marched down Broadway, to the
music Of the Marseillaise. to the Office of
the French Consul, in Bowling Green,
and there solemnly registered an oath
never to submit to Kaiser Wilhelm. At
about the same time another procession,
composed of Teutons, carrying the Ger
man flag, we're passing down Barclay
street. within stones throw OF the
Frenchmen, en- route to Shutzenfest at
Hoboken. The spectacle was fair illus.
tration of the cosmopolitan character of
the city; at the same time that it reflect
ed the good sense Of Gauls and Teutons
alike, that they could thus have their
celebrations at the same time without
interrupting each other or coming into
hostile collision in our Streets"

A correspondent of The New York
Tribune, writing from Kalamazoo, Mich.
makes novel suggestion, which may be
of use in the campaign. Abiding to the
custom in former campaigns Of building
''log cabins" and "wigwams" as places
for holding political meetings, he thinks
that the farmhouse" might be made q
symbol Of great power and influence.
His idea is to apply the name to the
place OF meeting in each village and
town, whether it be reading-room for
campaign papers or the regular campaign
club-room. He thinks the symbol espe-
cia]ly significant at the present time,
since it typifles the home.circle, "where
wayward and estranged brothers may
meet and be reconciled- "a symbol of that
love and reconciliation which now pre-
dominate in our national politics, and of
which Horace Greeley, resting in his
farmhouse at Ohappaqua, is the living
embodiment and representative" In
conclusion, he says: ''While the white
hat symbolizes the man OF Chappaqua,
let his farmhouse typify a pure and
loving Governments Government that
has . heart big enough to love all its
children, and an honest, pure purpose to
deal justly by them all. Let us build
farm. houses all over the land"

Every year increases the popularity of this
valuable Hair Preparation; which Is due to
merit alone. We can assure our old patrons
that it 10 kept fully up to its high standard;
and It is the only reliable and perfected pre-
paration for restoring GnAY OR FADED HAin to
its youthful color, making it soft, lustrous
and silken. The scalp, by it's use, becomes
white and clean. It removes all eruptions
and dandruff. and, by its tonic properties,
prevents the hair from falling ont. as It stimu.
lates and nourishes the hair glands. By its
use, the hair grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary glands to
thoir normal vigor. and will create a new
growth, except in extreme old age. It is the
most economical HAIR DRESSING ever used, as
It requires fewer applications, and gives the
hair q splendid glossy appearance. A. A.

BILLS TO BE KLLED.-There are n
couple of bills pending somewhere in the
Legislature, says the Sacramento Union.
that ought TO be returned with gentle ad-
monitions to the introducers, or silently
and unobservcdly as possible be consigned
to merited oblivion. These bills are, one
to regulate the social evil and the other
to license gambling. The social evil is
bad enough for the districts to which it is
confined. But there are editorial and leg
latiye declaimers who persist in making
it social nuisance to everybody. Every
day or two the vices of dens are dragged
to the prominent columns of newspapers
and the purest minds rendered familiar
with the facts from which they must re-
coil. The Legislature is called upon by
these fellows, who l0unt infamy in the
face Of decency, to legalize vice of the
most degrading character. The gam
bling bill introduced by Minis, of Yolo,
is one the public sense cannot approve.
The State cannot afford TO have il under
stood that it has prostituted iteslf by an
act which is nothing else, if passed, than
II sanctoning and legalizing of gambling.
Apart from the appearances, it is wrong
for the Legislature to waste an extra mo-
ment Of time upon such bills, because it
cannot be possible for an enlightened Ex-
ecutive to approve them.

The WAY THE TRACK is CLEARED
Speaking of the blockaded regions, the
Corinne Reporter says: Probably q
600 men are now employed in that re-
gion shovelng snow; wages per day,
So 10; per night, So 20. Often after men
have worked without cessation for forty
eight hours, and completely exhausted,
taken a few hours sleep, they have walked
TO find their cut filled again while they
slept. The snow-sheds have been found
to be too loose and slight, SO that in some
instances they have been completely fll-
ed with snow from end to end. The
snowfences have apparently served to
collect the snow, having been placed too
near the track. II has filled up level be-
tween them, and between the second tier,
and even the third. Men would, on the
ttart, shovel three feet of snow and dirt,
nearly as hard as ice, off the track, max
ing the banks six feet high. This had 10
be done over again and again the sec
ond time there would be six feet TO throw
ont, and when done, the banks would be
twelve feet high, and SO on until the snow
cuts in some places are from thirty to
forty feet deep. Again there are places
where the track is an embankment and
obstructed as badly as the cuts. This is
on account Of rising land near by on one
side or the other, or both, which acts the
same as fence in catching and lodging
the snow.

CHLoRoFoRM. - The Grass Valley
Onton says: Tuesday a fine horse over
at Henry Scadden's stable had an opera
ton performed upon him. He had a
detormed upper molar tooth which kept
the mouth very sore, and which caught
grain and particles of hay. These were
constantly irritating the mouth. The
ugly tooth had to come out. The horse
was thrown and the chloroform was
administered. DR.. Sterling pulled that
lelt-upper-lront-molar with a pair of gas
fitter's tongs. The horse did not suffer
from the operation owing to the choro-
form. The horse did not know of the
moment the tooth came out.

AN IMPROVEMENT. - Now that the
Railroad fight is over, the Legislature ap-
pears to have settled down to work In good
earnest, and judging from present indica-
tions will make pretty fair record, out
side of the craw-flsh movement at the
bidding of the Central Pacific for reasons
that do not convince or deceive ANYBODY.
We are to have this session, as ALWAYS
before, the usual proportion of speeial
legislation that fills our statute hooks
some of which is necessary and lust but
much of it-and we opine the most of #
an incumbrance and unnecessary expense.
California, perhaps more than any other
State, contains counties with limited
means Of communicating with eacb other
which, from locality and the predominant
industry of the section, vary widely from
other counties differently situated. This
neoessltates some special legislation, but
1t has been overdone and quite likely al
ways will be. We expect more of the
present Legislature than of the last, for
the reason that it is plainly apparent that
int ellectually the former ranks vastly
higher than the latter. This is easily to
be seen from the discussions in the two
bodies; a more bigoted set of partisans
than the Democratic Legislature of two
years ago could not be selected again and
w. we doubt not never will bo. More than
likeely The very general denunciation their
actlon ON the Railroad question has called
iofth VIII spur our Legislators TO do their
posl ior the people in all other respects.

then foreclose the mortgage on the human
race, close out the concern and shut up

his steps back to the Orient with his jap
