PERPETUAL MOTION.

The Petaluma argus, after full con-
slderation feels justified In giving the
public further information concerning
the alleged discovery Of a new combi-
nation OF motive power. equivalent to

George +. Allen, Of Petaluma. He
claims, on admitted scientific prlncl-
piles, that he can by q mechanical APP
plication Of hydrostatic and pneumatic
treasure produce a machine with
greater capacity than a steam engine.
aud one that will not only be self-sct-
ing, but that Is capable Of multiplying
Its own capacity. In fact, the only
limit to Its capacity Is In the strength
of material from which said machines
are constructed. The inventor Is TAX
Ing the necessary steps to secure his in-
v%ention, and a company Is being
formed and will incorporate under the
style of perpetual Motion Engine
and Machine Company" A small as
seSsment on the capital stock will be
levied to raise a sufficient amount to
construct a machine to test the appli-
cation of this, the greatest Of known
forces, and prove it to be all the In
ventor claims-a great discovery or 4

INFLUENCE Of WATER ON CLIMATE,

The temperature Of the air at Lake
Tahoe Is several degrees warmer than
at rruckee, although the lake Is about
GOO feet the highest In altitude. An
other singular fact Is that the waters
Of the lake, although exceedingly cold
in the Summer, are never frozen In
any place in Winter. At various places
around the lake at an elevation OF
$500 feet above the sea vegetables are
raised without difficulty, and potatoes
grown there, for quality, cannot be
surpassed anywhere else on the coast.
Only a few years ago 1t was generally
believed that neither grain o veget-
ables could be raised In the Sierra Ne
vadas at a higher altitude than 5000
feet above the sea. The temperature
of the air at Tahoe Is more even than
at any other point In California at the
the same altitude. and this fact Is
probably owing to the influence Of
such 4 large body of water on the at
mosphere. Bonner Lake, 500 feet
lower than Tahoe, freezes over In the
Winter, the lake being too small to
have any ~perceptible influence In mod

A CHINESE ROMANCE.
Irrom the TRINITY Journal.l

A young Chinawoman. generally
pronounced the belle Of Chinatown,
committed suicide last Monday by TAX
ing opium. The circumstances as we
gather them are highly romantic, and
deserve to be embalmed by the Chi
nese story-teller. The young woman
was lately brought to Weaverville BY
an old rascal, who Is said to make the
traffic In Chinese females his sole occu-
patton and finds It profitable. This
unfortunate victim Of his avarice would
not submit to dishonor, and was a
profitless investment on his hands.
She met with a dashing. honest miner
from the Flowery Kingdom, by whom
her tender affections were led captive,
and who re~ciprocated her tenderness
with all the ardor Of vigorous and Inn
FASHIONED manhood. It was necessary
to their happiness that the hero Of our
tale should redeem his fair one from
the clutches Of the ogre who claimed
her as his property. He toiled and
boarded until by hard labor and econ
omy he saved $500 toward her ransom.
But this was not half enough. She
was q fancy piece Of property, and was
held at the fancy price Of eight hun.
dred dollars. 10 get this sum by hard
knocks would require long years OF
toll, perhaps a lifetime. She might De
sent away; might be compelled 70
marry another, and If not, to walt TIL
he could carr the money, was an IN.
supportable thought. Tho future OF
the loving aud unfortunate pair was OF
inky blackness. But one feeble ray OF
hope was perceptible through the sur
rounding darkness. In the labyrinths
of Chinatown there dwelt a terrible
beast, whose conquest would result In
Glory and wealth to the successful an
tagonist. Animated, doubtless, by the
msxims that Fortune favors the
brave" and "None but the brave de.
serve the fair" last Sunday night our
hero attacked the tiger In his den, re-
solved to conquer If possible. The
rest IL briefly told. He lost all but
his honor, and his dulcinea drowned
her woe In a cup Of cold poison. She
was buried by her master without dis.
play, and all her wearing apparel,
perhaps two hundred dollars In value,
was burned at her grave.

Mrs. FaIR WANTS Her PIsroL-The
Clerk Of the Fifteenth District Court
on Saturday received a note from
Laura d. Fair, intlmating that the
plaything with which A. P. Critten-
den lost his life, and which WAS used
as evidence against her, be returned to
her. IS 1t vas her property. The clerk
was In a quandary; he knew not how
to act In tho matter, aud finally con-
suited Judge Dwinelle, who In turn
asked the District Attorneys advice In
the matter. The latter gentleman
said he knew Of no valid reason why 1t
should be retained from Mrs. Fairs

OF the decentralization necessary to oh.

THE

The battle has been fought and won,
but God grant that we may never sec
such another contest. Men were bought
and sold BY both parties like cattle.
We have e many political cam
paipns, but none that approached any
where near to this one In open, undls-
pui,ed corruption. We have read OF
Tammany frauds, and in common with
all good men blushed whenever they
were mentioned, yet even Tammany
thieves were not entirely lost to all
sense OF decency they assumed a vir-
tue If they had it not. But yesterday
men were seen In the full light Of
Gods blessed sunshine to betray their
manhood and sell themselves like Ju-
das Iscarlot for thirty pieces Of silver,
yes, and many for much less. Yet
sadder still 1t was to see such things
done and not excite a feeling OF gen.
eral adherence aud disgust. A few
short years ago, the men who bought
and those who were sold would have
been held up to the execration Of the
entire community. Are human sensi-
bilities becoming SO blunted that we
can now see such corruption and not
blush to think that these men ale made

The success which attended the up

about civil service reform which is not accept

to those who are simply political reformers
When the rascaties OF the general order
business were proved to his satisfaction, the
President went TO the root of the evil by order
ing the abolition OF the system. Now that the
abuses existing in the New York Custom
House are exposed he wastes no time in beat

| by ordering the United States District Attorney
to proceed against every officer who has been
shown to have received bribe and agains
every person who has offered to bribe al
official. Grant deals with dishonest public
employees as he dealt with the Southern reble'
he marches directly on their lines. At thi
rate the GROWERS who abuse the President haC

RE-ANIMATINa THE HAIR.-When the hair
ceases to draw from the scalp the natural
lubricant which is its sustenance, its vitality is,
as it were, suspended, and if not promptly
attended to. badness will be the certain results.
The one sure method of avoiding such an
unpleasant catastrophe is to use Lyons KG-
Htdtron, which, when we'll rubbed into the

prevent it from falling out, Besides that, this
