A New LIFE PREsERyER.-Mr Orms-
bee has invented new life preserver,
which he also calls the Pleasure Swim
mer and Cushions Combined" The
principle on which Mr.. Ormsbee bases
his invention is that the body in itself is
self-sustaining, and his preserver con-
sists simply of two sleeves of india-rub-
Der, which, after being drawn on the
arms, can be inflated by blowing in them,
when they will sustain the body on the
surface of the water in any position the
swimmer may assume. The sleeves are
so made that they can be adjusted on the
arms and inflated in fifteen seconds.
When not on the person, and when part
ly inflated, the preservers can be used
either as cushions or pillows, and were a
timid person in vessel at sea he might
adjust the sleeves on his arms, and while
they furnished him with an excellent pill
low he might feel certain Of being safe
from death by drowning. When in the
waller a person wearing this preservei
can float any number OF hours or days,
carrying an umbrella for protection from
the sun and sufficient cigars to insure his
comfort,

SINCE the year 1S4S, when there were
but about 5000 miles Of completed rail-
road in the country, the railroad system
of the United States had increased, on
January /, 1878; to II, 900 miles in actual
operation, with 5000 more in process of
construction. The railroad statistics
show that in 1858 there were q, 900 miles
of road built, in 1869 $4,000 miles, and
that since the war the half of the whole
has been constructed and put in opera
ton. The average railroad growth for
the last five years has been nearly 5000
miles annually. At rate of $40, ZOO
per mile the cost OF the completed roads
would be perhaps $4,000, 000,000 while
those in progress and not yet completed
will cost $500, 200, 900. ..s.

is lack of wagons to haul the dirt. In

As residents on the Pacific Coast, and
many of us formerly living in San Fam
cisco, none of us can be indifferent to
whatever affects the welfare Of the me-
tropolis. A correspondent, writing from
San Francisco, some years since re-
marked that that city was the great
moral, social and political ulcer of the
Pacific coast" How true the remark
was then We need not stup TO determine.
The report of the Grand Jury for the
November term shows how the case
stands now. The report shows that the
Grand Jury examined IS charges for va
rious offenses, and found IS true bills.
After remarking upon the dissraceful
condition of the County Jail, owing to
the crowding together in each of the
small cells so many criminals, the re-
port proceeds to offer some suggestions
on the primary cause Of so much crime,
and under that head says:
In almost all the cases Of serious
crimes we have examined, the greater
part can be charged directly to the too
frequent use of Intoxicating drink. This
need not surprise any one, when we have
two thousand places opened daily for the
retailing of spirituous liquors, many oil
them under the management Of disre'
putable persons. We cannot understand
why the merchants and manufacturers
who are advancing the best interests
Of the city by their enterprises
aud industries, should be com
PEELED to pay a heavy license, AM
these drinking establishments, whicl
are creating crime, poverty and insanity
disturbing the public peace, occupying
the time of Courts and juries, mostly mo
nopolizing the services OF the police IL
looking after their customers, to protec
the property and lives of all good an,
peaceful citizens. also society in general
from the demoraliZing results of thei
traffic, should be charged only the paltr
sum of SIG for three months privilege t
spread crime and poverty broadcas
throughout the city.
The report urges the Supervisors to e'
tablish a license at $50 month for th
sale OF liquors at retail, licenses to
granted only to persons Of good NOR
character. The report also suggests thu
women be prohibited from serving
barrooms or saloons where liquors Al
sold. Surprise iis expressed that the
has been so much crime committed
half-grown boys, and it is recommends
that an ordinance be passed prohibitil
boys under IS years of age from appea
ing upon the streets after o'clock
night unless accompanied by their pa
ents or guardians. San Francisco is b
coming puritanical.

A FITTING REBUKE.-There are many
men in existence who deem it no harm
to speak slightingly Of women; accord
ing to their idea, it is quite meet that
the strong should assail the weak. One
Of these robbers Of reputation received a
severe rebuke on o recent occasion. At
q dinner at which no ladies we're present,
this man, in responding to toast, "Wo-
man." dwelt almost solely on the frailty
of the sex, claiming that the best among
them were little better than the worst,
the chief difference being their surround
ings. At the conclusion Of the speech,
gentleman present rose to his feet, and
said: II trust the gentleman, in the mp.
plication Of his remarks, refers to his
own mother and sisters, not ours" The
effect of this most just and timely rebukt
was overwhelming, and the maligner o.
woman was covered with confusion ant
shame.
