Manufacture Of Paper.

Of the 1900, 100000 human beings
inhabiting the globe, $50, 100000 have
no paper nor writing material of any
kind; 5OO,OOO,O0O of the Mogolian race
use paper made from the stalks and
leaves of plants; 100000 use for
graphic purposes tablets of wood; 130,-
100000. the Persians Hindoos, Arme-
mans and Syrians-have paper made
from cotton, while the remaining 800,
100000 use the ordinary staple. The
annual consumption by this latter
number is estimated at 1900, 100000
pounds or average of six pounds to
the person, which has increased from
two and half pounds during the last
fifty years. To produce this amount
of paper 200, 900, 900 pounds Of woolen
rags, 1900, 900 cotton rags, besides
great quantities of linen rags, straw,
wood and other materials are yearly
consumed. The paper is manufac-
tured in $3.50 paper mills, employing
10000 male and 1906 female labor
ers. The proportionate amounts of
the different kinds of paper are stated
to be: OF writing paper, S00,OO0,000
pounds of printing paper, 900,000,00
pounds OF wall paper, 100000, 900
pounds of cartoons, blotting paper &c.

The City Funds.

The Council will meet this evening,
and we are requested by number of
citizens to remind that body that some
arrangement should be made by which
the city would realize something from
the use of her money. We are informed
that for the next six months the city
funds ought to earn for the taxpayers
at least five hundred dollars per month.
Three thousand dollars is quite alarge
sum to throw away these hard times.
The people expect the Council to COM
ply with the law regarding the city's
funds, and we trust the members will
this evening take some action in the
premises. There is general scarcity
of money, our people are heavily
taxed and not few find it difficult to
meet the demand Of the tax collector.
This unsatisfactory condition of affairs
creates a universal desire that the
Council will practice economy in not
only the disbursement of the city's
money, but also in realizing every
dollar that can be legitimately earned
from her resources. We allude to this
subject at the request of many tax
payers, who feel that their burden
would be somewhat lightened by a
saving of five hundred dollars per
month.

IF the President and zAcK CHAM
DLER supposed that the storm of in
dignation raised by the appointment
of the latter to place in the Cabinet
would soon spend its fury and leave
clear sky and all serene, they were
mistaken in the temper of the press,
and the people. The columns of our
Eastern exchanges are filled with ed
itorials and communications condemn
ing the act of the President in appoint
ing ZACK and denouncing ZACK him.
self as man morally and socially un-
fit for the position. Asa mere express
sion of the will of the people these
articles are we'll enough but it is ex-
pected they will induce the President
to revoke the appointment or compel
CHANDLER to resign the object will
not be attained. GRANT is not in the
habit of reconsidering his acts and
CHANDLER will stick to the place
with the tenacity that death is said to
cling to an emaciated American citi-
zen of African descent.

The River Channel. !.

Repeated mention has been made in
the columns of the HERALD of the
condition of the river bed opposite the
city and on several occasions we have
endeavored to impress on the Council
the Importance of removing the OBJ
structions which will impede the pro-
gress of the water as soon as the rainy
season sets in. Bars have been form
ed in different localities and on these
have sprung up rank growths of will
lows which unless removed will form
the nucleus of distractions that will
in flood times turn the water from its
natural channel and cause overfows
of the lower land on either bank OF
the river. Much damage will result
to property in consequence. We are
informed that few hundred dollars
expended in removing these bars now
while there is comparatively but lit
tie water in the channel would secure
a temporary guarantee against over
flow and thus save thousands of dol
lars for the hundreds the improve
ments will cost. Some day when we
have discarded the penny wise and
pound foolish system of doing things as
now practised ana realized the truth
of the adage that what is worth doing
at all is worth doing well, the people
of Los Angeles will levee the river on
each side for three or four miles oppo-
site the city. These levees will be
made high and wide enough to render
property secure against the possibili-
ty of damage by overflow. They may
be made useful in more ways than
one as we'll as an ornament to the city.
Suppose they are made fifteen or
twenty feet wide at the top and rows
of trees planted on either side. In a
short time they will become beauti-
full drives. The trees will secure them
ag ainst the wash and wear of the wa
ter and using them for roads will pack
them solid and keep them always in
repair. We do not suppose that the
authorities can be induced to COM
mence this much needed work now
but it will be und ertaken and carried
out at no distant day, and when it is
done the lower portion of the city will
have guarantee against damage by
overflow which can be secured in no
other way. At present the most that
can be hoped for is removal of the
Instructions in the channel and this
is most earnestly desired by a large
number of citizens and property hold

Fighting For An Eel.

A fight between two eagles occurred
at Masonboro Sound few days ago.
A large number Of persons were at the
different landings along the Sound at
the time, when their attention was at
tractad to the combatants by pierre
ing cry, often repeated at short inter-
walls. The birds were each of the bald
eagle species, and when first observed
were about 200 yards above the Banks
channel.
One of the birds held pendent from
his talcns an enormous eel which the
other bird was endeavoring to get
possession of. The bird possessing
the eel was taken at great disadvan-
tage, as it required the use of his talons
to hold his pley, which left him but
his beak with which to ward off the
assaults of his foe. The attacking
bird, realizing his advantage, swoop-
ed upon his enemy, tearing the feath-
ers and flesh from the back and breast
of his opponent. Long and fierce the
struggle waged. Each of the birds
was of enormous size, yet one of them,
taken at so great disadvantage, at
last perceived that resistance was in
vain, and, after one despairing wall,
released its prey.
AS the eel descended, and had nearly
reached the water the triumphant
bird, with victorious cry, swooped up
on it, and firmly clos ng it in its tall
ons, bore it away to the distant sand
shoals. The struggle lasted about fif-
teen minutes Wilmington Star.

Carl Schurz.

CARL SCHURZ is one of the ablest
speakers and most convincing reason
ers in the United States. At no pc
riod of his public life has he given
more convincing proofs of his orator
ical and argumentative powers than
within the past few weeks. 1t is now
generally conceded that the Republi-
can victory in Ohio is due to the eff
forts of SCHURZ alone, and what is
remarkable he did not make these
efforts so much in behalf of the Re-
publican ticket as in opposition to a
measure incorporated in the Demo-
cratic platform. His strong argu-
ments against imitation turned the
scale and sent ALLEN to the shades of
private life, from which it is more
than probable he will never again
emerge. 1t was SCHURz who drew
from the Democratic ranks thousands
of German votes and enrolled them on
the side of hard money and non-divis-
ion of the public school funds. He
is just the man to make an effectual
campaign in contest such as that
waged in Ohio. A non-party man, he
is the more able to deal with questions
and issues as they are, and not as par
ties present them. Holding no affili-
alton with either of the two great par
ties of the day, he is free from partizan
glamour and approves and denounces
| the good and bad measures of both
political organizations. He is not al
office seeker, and the daze of party
aggrandizement neither clouds mol
warps his mental vision. The opinion
of no man in the nation is entitled to
more weight on the currency question
than that of SCHURZ. He has care.
fully studied the issue and as carefully
studied the temper of the people oil
that issue, and he does not believe the
initiation contest is over yet. The
feeling in its favor is strong in the
West and is confined to no particular
party or locality.

A romantic couple of Franklin,
Tenn, whose course of true love did
not run smooth, of course, planned a
runa way match which they proceed
ed to carry out early in the morning.
They had got as far as the depot,
waiting for the train, when the young
lover became nervous lest the irate
father should overtake them, but his
betrothed reassured him, thusly: ~
don't see how he can; l really don't.
He lives three miles from here, and if
he comes he will have to walk. He
can't make the distance afoot before
the arrival and departure of the train.
l foresaw the danger of such denoun-
ment last night and made my arrange
ments accordingly. 1 went to the
stables, hid all the brides, locked the
doors, and threw the keys away.
When left home this morning moth
er and father were asleep. I quietly
turned the key on them and threw ii
away too.

THE returns show that 81, ,374 votes
were cast for the constitutional con-
vention and 24,552 against it. The
San Francisco Ledger and several
other papers claim that the conven-
tion is called. Some days since the
HERALD assumed this position and
maintained that if a majority of all the
votes cast for and against the propo-
sition were found to be in its favor
the convention was called. In re-
sponse correspondent of the Express
cited law which lie held required that
majority of all the votes cast at the
general election must be for the con-
ventien in order to secure the meas
ure. There is sometimesa wide diff
ference between the letter of the law
and the spirit of the law and though
the statute may read as quoted by the
Express correspondent; it is more
than probable that the man VIII o
framed that particular section intend
ed it to mean majority of all the
votes cast on the measure should be
accepted as an expression of the peo-
pie in its favor. A decision on the
point however must come from tri-
bunal that is opposed to convention
and we may rest confident that car
ried or cot carried no convention will
be called.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 27th.-Mr.
Mills, President of the Bankof Califor-
mia, says there will be no time lost in
resuming the business of the Branch
Bank in Virginia City. A new build
ing will at once he erected on the old
site, but it would be of n less substan-
tial character, the cost not exceeding
six or eight thousand dollars. This it
was believed would provide sufficient
accommodation for the present, and
substantial additions would be made
whenever necessary. The loss to the
corporation by the fire was compare
lively trifiing, and the business of the
Agency would not be seriously inter-
fered with. Mr.. Mills spoke in
pleasant manner, and did not seem to
allow the burning of the Virginia
City building to worry him in the
least.
