A SUBMARINE QUARREL.

A curious case Of assault and battery
was lately brought before the police
tribunal at Marsellles. 1t appears that
a diver, engaged In investigating the
wreck Of q vessel sunk In the port Of
that city, discovered an article of some
value. which he put aside In a corner
of . rock for future disposition. Re-
turning for the last time beneath the
surface, he went to secure his prize,
but at that moment two other divers
attacked him and attempted to wrest
It from him. A lively fight ensued,
which lasted until the people above,
alarmed at the confusion below, drew
the combatants up TO the surface. The
thus commenced fifty or sixty
feet below tho surface Of tho sea, was
ended at the police station.

THE STOCK CALAMITY.

from the s. F. Chronicle Of yesterday
The sudden imitation and decllne Of
stocks recently occurring in our mar
ket Is n great calamity to San Fran
cisco. Every financial movement that
distribute. money Is productive Of
great good. Every movement that
Concentrates capital, by taking from
the many and giving to the few. Is \
real and permanent injury to the COM
munlty In which It occurs. The stock
sharps knew that the prices were in-
Hated to an unusual value, and having
created the excitement, they realized
and gathered In the earnings Of the
outside and toillng multitude. 1t Is
not n calamity like a fire or a storm at
sea. as nothing of value was destroyed,
but It was 10 less a calamity In making
rich men richer and poor mon poorer.

VOLCANIC Esurr1oS.-CaptaIn Moss,

VOLCANIC ERUPTION. Captain Moss,
recently from tho mines Of Southern
Nevada, gave the Los Angeles Ne,os
an interesting account OF the outbreak
of volcano near Death Valley on the
2lst ult., the day Of the earthquake at
Inyo. He says the eruption occurred
at about 0 o'clock In the evening, a
flame seemingly thirty or forty feet In
diameter, shooting up several hundred
feet Into tho air. The entire surround
ing country was thoroughly illumina-
ted BY the fiame. II continued thus
until the following morning; and for
several days afterward the air was so
thickly impregnsted with ashes, Of sui
phur and iron, that objects were
scarcely d~iscernabls at a distance Of
one hundred feet. Since that time the
volcano has resumed Its previous inac-
tivity.

1t Is grieyous In the eyes Of all true

perverse wlckedness exhibited BY some

natured remarks about any contempt
rary who didn't happen to slop over
In disgusting adulatory worship Of
Jones, or indiscriminats billlngsgate
abuse Of Sharon, during the recent ex-
element regarding those two gentle
men. As for ourself. we simply took
the right course in the matter, squarely
defending Jones against the foul
black-malling SANDER, and blaming
Sharon only so far as the true facts OF
the case eventually proved him to be
blameable. Our course Is now reeog-
nized BY all sensible citizens and news
papers to be the only practically cor
rect one. Not belonging to either
Sharon or Jones, We were lndepend-
ent, and able to act with unbiased
Judgment In thu matter. For the
same reason we have not favored
either OF these gentlemen In their Sem
atorial aspirations, aud do not propose
to. Like the miners and workuigmen
of Storey county, we mind our own
business, and hope our contemporaries
will try and mind theirs. Tho Jones

Their can he or his friends control 1t to
tho utter exclusion OF all other con-
testants for the Senatonllip. He has
simply got to have a fair chance with
the rest whether Mr.. Sharon stays In
the ring or not, and any Of his friends
who contend for anything more will
only work to the detrlmsut Of both
themselves and their liege lord.

DECORATION DAY.

Tomorrow the nation will do honor
to Its patriot dead, and tho Grand
Army Of the Republic marching to the
mournful cadences Of martial music
will visit and adorn with flowers
the graves Of their deceased CON-
rades who fought beneath the starry
folds Of the banner Of the free In de-
fence Of tho honor Of our country.
Remembering with fervent gratitude
their incalculahls sacrifice not only
for the country, but for US who have
survived to enjoy the precious heritage
Of freedom and union, this day has
been set apart In the lovely floral sea-
son Of each year to commemorate with
appropriate observances their glorious
death and garland their graves with
tributes Of affection culled from Ma
lures choicest offerlngs-the beautiful
and fragrant flowers Of Spring. In
every part Of this broad land, save,
alas! where the spirit Of treason, sub
dued but not ~eradicated, still broods
over whole communities, there will DO
n general observance Of these beautiful
and impressive ceremonies. In city,
town and wayside-hamlet throughout
the land, fair hands are already weav-
Ing and fashloning the floral wreaths
and immortelles, and tomorrow, from
the forests of Maine to the fertile val
ley Of the Mississippi, and from New
England's rock-bound coast to the blue
waters OF our foam-sklrted Pacific the
grand procession Of mourners will be
marshallIng. Wheeling into column
the many thousands Of separate divis-
ions will wend their several ways into
a. many different cemeteries, there to
hear tho addresses, poems, music and
other exercises appropriate to tho SOL
cmn occasion, and then deploying
through the grounds to deck each
grassy hillock which marks a soldiers
grave with . simple floral tribute.
Thus the whole nation reverences the
memory OF Its departed heroes-its
brave defenders In an hour Of dire ex-
trsmity.
It was \ sublime conception, the In
stitution of this new American May
day, which to the time-honored and
natural celebration Of the glorious
season when nature Il putting on the
beautiful robes Of Summer, and the
air Is laden with the perfume Of flow-
ers and green foliage. joins a national
commemoration In honor Of the men
who laid down their lives as n willing
sacrifice upon the altar Of their coun-
try. Already 1t Is beginning to take
