MUD BATHS AND EARTHQUAKES.

From the Humboldt Silver State, March N.l
cas- a remedial agent for the certain
cure Of all diseases to which flesh Is
heir, and many Of those acquired by
Individual enterprise, mud baths stand
unrlvalled. The hygienic properties
of such treatment Is not mentioned In
the therapeutics OF the medical faculty,
vet It's virtues are generally known
and appreciated In these parts: Dur
ing one Of the recent connections In
real estate, our friend Bob Reed was
enjoying the luxury rs we'll as testing
the curative properties of a mud bath
at the Hot Springs. Everybody knows
Bob, whose health Is quite delicate, as
his general appearance indicates, his
present avoirdupois being only q triile
over 200 pounds. Half buried In the
soft and warm mud. In that blissful
state of repose IN which the mind Is
almost oblivious Of surroundings, he
experienced a sensation novel and ex-
citing. He suddenly discovered that
tho earth was rocking beneath him,
and that the waters In the pool beside
him were considerably agitated.
Thinking the earth was sinking from
Under him, with a bound which would
make q circus rider famous, he cleared,
from his recumbent position, ten feet
of mud, alt" a-running on dry ground
and broke like a quarter horse for the
foothills. His appearance, after his
scare subsidized and he returned to the
springs to wash and dress, can DO more
easily imagined than described. 1t is
said that he bore a striking resemblance
to a New Zealand Chief, and that his
back looked like q map Of Mexico
at the close of a periodical revolution.
He thinks mud baths are q dead shot
on Reconsideration there arc earth
uuakes around.

made by him. Wise didn't see 1t in
that light, but Immediately swora out
q warrant for his arrest. Lewis was
arrested and admitted to bail In the
sum Of 81, 500 for his appearance at the
next term Of the District Court. This

SALT LAKE CITY,

A San Francisco paper, writing ul
the Importance of the trade of Utah,
declares that "Salt Lake City has now
q population Of about 80, 0O0."
This, says the Sacramento Union, /:
o wild statement. The Census Marshal
In 1870 returned for Salt Lake City
only 12,S54, whereof $3.50 were OIL
foreign birth. In 1860 the population
was S,190; so that the increase was
about 60 per cent. In the decade ending
1870. If we allow the same ratio Of
increase for the last two years. Salt
Lake City should now have 14,400 in
habitants, and no more. That 1t may
have 100,0 600, as the San Francisco
paper prophesies, In five years, Is pos
sible but II 1t should so turn out, the
ratio Of increase must DO greatly in
creased.

AN EARTHQUAKE THEORY.

W. F. Stewart, of San Jose, has a
theory Of his own In regard to earth
quakes. His opinion Is that they are
caused by electrical currents passing In
wave currents over portions Of the
earth's surface. lie further states that
these electric currents can be controlled
the same as lightning from tho clouds.
70 substantiate his theory he cites or
assumes that the late shocks that have
been observed vert severest along tho
line OF the Central Pacific Railroad,
and the farther removed from the lat
ter tho weaker they have been. AtOak-
land, where the road ends, the shocks
we're heavier than at San Francisco.
The greater the length Of the line, the
greater the conducting power, We sup
pose. If Mr.. Stewards theory Is true,
the people Of San Francisco ought to
be willing to have the Central Pacific
road stop at Oakland. BY so doing the
safety of San Francisco would be as
sured, and Oakland would have to
stand tho shocks.-Grass Valley Repu6-
licaa, March 29th.
The above theory may do very we'll
for San jose, Oakland, and the other
cow counties and outside localities, but
not for this side Of the big range. Inyo
county, 800 miles south Of here, or $40
miles south of the Pacific railroad, or
any other railroad, we produce as pres
ent evidence.

cOHJUsAL EPISODE.

On Monday evening last, says the
San Francisco Builrtin, a respectable"
married man of San Francisco, who
resides to tho north Of Russian Hill,
passed over to Oakland on the ferry
boat, and met q comedy lady who
arrived by the train from Sacramento.
The a%ffectionate greetings when the
parties met indicated that they were
not married, though some of the by
ISLANDERS, among them a policeman,
thought It might be n Of those rare
cases Of conjugal felicity which are
mentioned in novels. No, they were
not married; for while the steamer
was returning to the city, and the two
were sitting side by side In the cabin,
the mans wife appeared in view. Ana
she was very mad. She cuffed the ears
of her husbands companion and drove
her from the cabin, and. had not the
policeman iuterfored, tho nal would
have sustained severe damage at the
hands Of the partner Of his joys and
sorrows. He Is sorry that he went
over the bay now.

ST. PATRICK

In a recent lecture delivered BY Rob-
ert Collyer recently. in Boston, the
talented lecturer said: One OF the
most interesting relics Of this period Is
an ancient volume, in the Irish acade-
my, blackened with age, which was the
inseparable companion of the good St.
Patrick himself. He then spoke Of the
great esteem In which his memory was
held In Scotland and England, as we'll
as Ireland. But we are too apt to
mako ideals Of the past heroes and
clothe them In CARDS not theirs and OF
our own weaving. The same has been
done by those word-palnters who pain
ted the portrait Of John Wesley, his
faults covered and only his virtues
made public. We have done the same
for George Washington and for Abra-
ham Lincoln. Therefore, it Is not to
be wondered that the Irish have made
St. Patrick the author Of wonderful
miracles. though 1t is a little strange
that they should ascrlbe to uim the
work Of teaching tham how to dlstill
whisky something that has been poor
Ireland's direst curse. But putting
aside all these wonders, and searching
on the true man, the first thing we find
out about him Is that he was not an
Irlshman, but q native of another
country, probably Scotland, but an
lrlshman In the sense that when he
had made up his mind to leave the old
country for the new he took up the
cause Of the new with all his heart
and he trusted that all Irlshmen would
do the same nowadays.

SENSATIONAL SpuDs.

We we're certain Of II, says Max Ad.
First we had the explosion OF a grind
stone. followed by the Immersion Of
half the grindstones In the country IN
water, to prevent such accidents. linen
we had explosions Of lager beer, OF
doughnuts, and Of mince pie. We ex-
pected soon to learn that some other
u~nsuspicious article possessed the same
dangerous property ; and here nc last
we have the information that a sweet
potato has exploded in Indiana and
scalded o boy. It Is a treacherous
vegetable sweet potato. PROBABLY
our readers have heard the story Of the
misery which was brought on our
friend P. T. Bumm, by one Of them.
Mr.. Bumm pre-empted an island In
the Pacific Ocean, and went to live
upon It. Il was a small Island with n
Volcano 10 the middle oft. MIR. Bumm
planted q few acres Of his farm In
sweet potatoes, but they all died but
one. The soil was very rich, and this
particular potato grew, and grew, un-
iii its monstrous size alarmed Mr..
Bumm. But 1t continued to increase
and get heavier until the island began
gradually to sink under Its weight.
Tho e%ncroaching water finally drove
Bumm up the eide Of the volcano. AS
he went up tho potato grew, the waves
crept after him, and n day they
poured into the crater Of that volcano,
generating an appalling mass Of steam,
and Bumm, the volcano, the sweet po-
tato, and the island, were blown Into
microscopic atoms. Bumm fioated
| about in the Pacific Ocean in fragment
tary portions for nearly n year as bait l.;
| but he never recovered from the shock.
II was too much for him ; his nervous
system was hopelessly unstrung.

great grandfathers OF the younger portion
of this assembly had witnessed any change
whatever in the constitution Of the United
States. When it was originally adopted
in 1889, the government went into opera

resenting this country at the court of
France. lie returned to take part in til G
first administration Of Ger. Washington,
ard on his suggestion the state Of Virginia
proposed eleven amendments to the con-
stitution of the United States They were
adopted, and were Incorporated in the
federal constitution by what in that day
was known as the constitutional bill of
rights. In 1900, eight years after these
amendments were adopted,
VERY SEVERE STRUGGLE FOR THE
PRESIDENCY
ensued, in the first place between Jeffer-
son and John Adams before the people,
and ultimately in the House Of Repre-
sentatives between Aaron Burr and JEFF
ferson. That struggle gave rise to anoth-
er amendment, which changed the mode
in which the electors of President and
Vice President voted for those officers.
That amendment was consummated and
perfected in 1802,and from that day down
to the administration of Abraham Lincoln

NAMED unchanged and untouched.
