An INTERESTING SIGHT.-It is stated
by an exchange that party of army Off
GERS, who have been engaged in mounting
guns and otherwise putting the Gull
Forts in scrviceable condition, while sail.
ing through Mississippi Sound, since the
recent food, encountered remarkable
scene. For miles were seen logs, drift
wood and patches of tuft and soil floating
out into the Calf, filled with live animals,
who clune to their frail barks with ;he te
nacity of shipwrecked mariners. Among
the animals were seen rats, raccoons,
possums, rabbits, alligators and ccasiu
snakes in uncounted mum bcrs, all brought
down from the swnmps and marshes, per-
haps from fifty to one hundred miles in
land. The novel exhibition had scien
tliic interest, as it suggested the manner
in which, during past geological periods,
animals were transported from regions
tar inland to the mouth Of estuaries, and
their bones being cntombed in the silt
and soft mud, furnished the organic re-
mains which are preserved for ages iY
the hardened strata. 1t was doubtless by
similar means that the fossils now found
IN the solid limestone were engulled and
/ preserved, and also that animal life has
been distributed over portions of the globe.

THE TEMPERANCE CRUSADE.

The Alta CatJo,1liu has become the
champion of the liquor dealers and dur7
ing the past week has given some figures,
showing the amount Of capital invested
in and the number Of men who derive EN-
ploymcut from the business, in its var
ious branches in San Francisco. There
are always two sides to every question,
and the showing made by the 1la is one
calculated TO create more than one i'm
preston. The are eleven thousand men
employed in San Francisco in branches
of industry connected with and dependent
upon the liquor trade, to whom over ten
millions Of dollars are annually paid as
wages. This is strong showing as to
the amount of capital necessarily invested
in the business and its accessories. The
temperance advocates urge that this ar
ray Of figures IS, Of itself, a convincing
reason why anti-license should universal
ly prerail-that it would be far better if
this number Of men were put to employ
ment Of Il more useful character than
their present mode Of livelihood.
Generally, the press Of the State has
RETAINED from taking sides in those local
tiles where the question of Local Option
was before the people. 1t has been re-
garded in much the same light that a re-
ligious question would be, or questions in
which there are equities on both sides to
be respected. There is no diversity OF
opinion upon the main fact, that intem-
perance is a great evil, and as such should
be abated, but whether the present law is
the proper means to be used, is n point
upon which even the most earnest friends
of temperance reform are divided. That
a law may be sustained by majority of
the voters of community is not, Of it.
self, a sufficient reason for its being adop-
ted-such a procedure would be the old
political dogma of popular sovereign
~" carried to extremes. A law, to be
effective, must be sustained by the over
powering preponderance Of public senti-
ment, and, unless so sustained, it be-
comes a nullity and its enforcement an
impracticabliiy.
The first elections held under the Lo-
cal Option Law, were in the main won
by the friends Of temperance. But later
elections have generally resulted the OPP
poste way. The important points Of
Red Bluff, Colusa and San Jose, with
others Of lesser note held elections last
week, the returns from which were all in
favor Of license. OF course the result OF
an election does not alter principle, but
it shows the drift Of public sentiment
In the meanwhile the constitutionality OF
the law, the point on which its usefulness
will rest, remains undetermined. 1t
would seem advisable to secure decis-
ion on this point as speedily as possible,
for if the law is consttutionally defective,
it would be as well to spare the counties
the great expense attendant upon such
elections.

A CHINESE GIRL SOLD FOR Two Hun
DRED DoLLARs.--Y yesterday afternoon
officers Mckenna and Hutton arrested q
Chinese female named Loi Ho on q
charge Of msdemeanor in dealing in hu-
man flesh. She is charged with disposing
of a young Mongoian damsel named All
Cheung, through the instrumentality of
an individual termed the middle man,"
named All Lole, to another Chinese bel
dame named Qui Fob for 5000 The bill
of sale which legaized the transaction
has been translated by the Interpreter as
follows:
Loi Ho makes this distinct agreement
to sell one, because Of her present distress,
having no money to use, but having a
girl named Al Cheung, aged thirteen
years, born in the first month Of the year,
the goth day, Mt 2 O'Clock A. NJ. Now
LOi Ho is willing to sell this girl to
another person TO get money to use. The
middle man, All Loke, finds Qui Fob
willing to buy her. The three persons
(Loi no, Qui Fob and All Loke), face to
face distinctly determine the price of her
body to be 5000. From the day of this
agreement, the money being all paid in
presence Of all, Loi lIo with her own
hands having received the money, the
girl and the money both exchange hands.
Qui Fob may take the girl, All Chcung,
for her own until she is grown up TO full
size. This is true money and true bar
gain. No other person has any part in
/ 1t. That there may be proof Of this, Loi
IlO makes this bill of sale, one paper, and
gives it to Qui Fob to receive and keep for
proof.
Signed by Loi Ho, her finger mark.
The girl is willing to testify to the fore
going state Of facts. 1t is charged that
the matter is conspiracy, and that Loi
IIo is herself a chattel and is indebted to
her master in large sum, and it is with
a view to settle the Indebtedness that the
case has been brought. The matter will
be developed in the Police Court to-day.

TIE Sacramento UajOH is by no means
sorry that that Lultrel's resolution, call
ing for an invest CATION into the affairs OF
the Contract and Finance Company has
failed to receive an investigation at the
hands Of Congress, and adds: There
will be another Congress some Of these
days" OF course The Union is not sorry;
nobody for moment supposed that it
would be. The worst thing that the Dolly
Warden organs have TO dread Is an i'm
partial investigation into Railroad affairs.
When they had full power in this State
to investigate the affairs Of the Central
Pacific Railroad, they constantly refused
to do it, and insisted that the Legislature
should go it blind for measures dictated
in malice and spite. Investigation will
expose the falsily Of their anti-rairoad
howl and leave the facts for the people to
base a Judgment upon and then the polit-
ical stock in trade Of the Dollies will be
gone. 1t is only by keeping the people
in the dark that the Dolie5 can hope for
further success. Ofcourse the Union is
not sorry.
