Tom Marshall.

MANY wears ago, when the science OF
chronology first began to attract public
attention, q lecturer of that sort, orimiul
OF enthusiasm, turned up in LOUISVILLE
and gave a series Of talks to the people,
and examined large number OF heads
made charts at so much each, and
in short, developed quite an amount OF
hidden vice and virtue which hao
not been before even suspected
among the good people OF that
CITY. Tom Marshall was present, and
enjoyed the exercises. After this AFFAIR
was over q crowd adjourned to the Calf
House to post books and render Judg-
ment on the science itself. Tom said he
could examine heads as well as any body
it was all humbug penny-catchlng
business and to satisfy the people he
was right he would. take any
number of men who chose to
go into the parlor adjoining
and make the experiment, although he
was little the worse from an overdose
of Bourbon. Many went in, and Tom
seated them, and went around from man
to man, most of whom he knew, and made
a vast amount of fun for the crowd, as be
always could on almost any provocation.
1t so happened that among the persons
present, Louisville buck, of scant
amount of brains, who was distinguished
for puppysm and fOrwardness,
had taken his seat. Tom passed him, but
announced, nevertheless, that he had eX-
amined all the heads in the room, where
upon our buck arose with "Bcg pardon,

THERE is serious apprehension that
our new Council will earn the reputa-
tion of the Council of ten million
speeches. The Counciimen are all
serious, earnest workers, but two or
three of them appear to be afflicted
with q disease called diarrhga of
words and a constipation Of ideas-a
little wheat and a mountain of chaff-
all talk and no cider. Welike to hear
a Councilman express his views on a
measure or proposition ten or fifteen
times, and our patience is generally
proof against the fiftieth repetition,
but. when he insists on travelling
around the little circle thousand
times during one session, we begin to
regret that the audience does not like.
to hear the gentleman talk as we'll as
he likes to hear himself. The fact is,
a man of one idea cannot make him.

fails to present that idea in a new
dress. Some of our Councilmen will
have to hunt up o new idea or read up
in the dictionary if they wish to sus-
tain their reputation as eloquent
speakers.

structive TO quiet rest as it is antagon-
istic 80 the acquisition of the solid
information offered by an able lec-
turer of the HEPwoRTH DIXON stamp.
While this state of things exist, Cali
fornia will remain poor field for the
philosophical and scientific lecturer,
and until it passes away, suicides and
the mental and physical prostration,
that must come when the structure
will no longer bear the strain, will be
noted everywhere. While we sacri-
flee every thing to money getting,
neither lectln es will be heard nor the
days of steady habits and solid COM
forts reached.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-10
The Effect and the Cause.

The failure of a man of such great
learning and eloquence as HEPwoRTH
DIXON to obtain an appreciative audi
ence to hear him lecture in San Fran
cisco, is a subject for more serious
consideration than it will receive from
many of our people. The lecturer
ought to be, and, when deserving Of
the name, is, one of the most inter-
esting of teachers. Yet we are daily
furnished with the most positive evil
dence that our people do not take to
lectures. In the interior towns, where
the population is small, some excuse
may be offered for the thinness of the
house to which man who has spent
the best part of lifetime in collecting
and classifying Information is called
upon to speak; but San Francisco is a
city at least 100000 people reside
within her limits - and it seems
strange almost disgraceful = that
there, a learned man and a polished
speaker should be forced to dismiss
his audience because it was so small
that he could not speak to it. Yet
after delivering two of his course of
five lectures, Mr.. HEPwoRTH DIXON
was compelled to do this. Why does
this fault exist? 1t is not because
San Francisco's people are not suffi-
ciently we'll informed or educated to
appreciate learned lecture. No city
in the world will rate higher in intel
ligence than the metropolis of the
Pacific. The reason must be found
somewhere else, and we know of no
more probable or potent cause than the
want of time. Californians have all
the time there is, yet they have none
for rest, recreation, or even obtaining
information, except the moment at
the breakfast table devoted to scam
ming the morning paper. Especially
is this true of the people Of San Fran
sisco. They live in an atmosphere of
feverish excitement, which is as de-

Change Of School Text Books.

On the sixth inst. the State Board
of Education ordered a change of the
principal text books used in the pub
lie schools. MCGUFFY's readers
which have been in use for the last
four years are to be thrown out togive
place to series of readers got up by
BANCROFT & Co., publishing house
in San Francisco. MoNTEITH's geog-
raphy which has been in use six years
is substituted by CoRNELL's. PAYsoN,
DUNToN q SoRIBNER's system of
penmanship is thrown out and the
Spencerian system adopted. What
other changes have been made we are
not informed, but the changes known
to be made are sufficient to warrant
the belief that the book dealers have
secured control over majority of the
State Board of Education. The
changes we have enumerated
will cost the people of the State of
California at least $5OO,000. The Sac
ramento Union estimates that the
change of readers alone will cost those
who purchase school books $3l8,0O0.
How paltry and flimsy We're the ex-
cuses of the Board for imposing this
heavy tax on the people may he seen
from the statement of DENMAN of San
Francisco, who said he was not so
much opposed to McGUFFEY's readers.
as he was to the house that furnished
them (WTLsoN, HrNKLE & Co. Of Gin
cinnati). In order that the people
may know who have so boldly defied
them and saddled such an enormous
tax on the parents and guardians of
children, we give the vote on the
changing of readers:
Ayes-Allen, Principal of the State
Normal School, Santa Clara; Den
man, County Superintendent of San
Francisco; Kelly, County Superin-
tendent of Sacramento; Kennedy,
County Superintendent of Santa Clara,
and Lynch, County superintendent Of
Alameda--5. 84ss

THE JIM FISK estate has been set
tied up, and there is nothing in it.
Where millions were expected nothing
was found. In life FISK stole = the
popular term is financiered-himself
rich. But he lived for the day. Had
his life been prolonged until he was
eighty years Of age he would have
lived rich as he did live and died poor
as he did die. He was an animal, with
only the instincts of an animal. His
financial genius was but the servant
Of his passions. He knew nothing Of
the future, thought nothing of it and
provided nothing for it. The bullet of
STOKES was the time stroke which
closed a career that began in the world
and ended in it.

THE city public schools will reopen
tomorrow morning, in accordance
with the directions of the Board of
Education. The Common Council
suggested, or rather demanded, that the
vacation should be eextendedone month
longer, but the Board decided not to
act upon the suggestion, and the
HERALD endorses the action of the
Board. The dismissal of the schools
for one or three months will do moth
ing toward eradicating the scarlet
fever, which, by the way, does not
exist to a serious extent in the city.
The argument of correspondent
whose communication appears in an
othor column, is correct and covers the
whole ground.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1875-01-10
Contradictory Opinions.

Great men will sometimes commit
very silly blunders, and the editor of
the San Francisco Bulletin has fur
nished an example. BY way of an
apology for an article that he ought to
be ashamed of, he gives a legendary
yarn about RALEIGH having torn up
a manuscript history of England,
which he had written, because a dozen
or more men disagreed on the facts of
case they had all witnessed. We
do not believe RALEIGH ever did any
such foolish thing, but if he did act
the fool it was no excuse for the ed
itor of the B1lletin to do likewise. He
says that General PHIL. SHERIDAN
and. Congressman PHELPS gives diff
ferent statements about affairs in
Louisiana; therefore the impartial
critic will find himself in q condition
of doubt as to know how matters stand
in that State. General SHERIDAN
had been in New Orleans twenty-four
hours when he telegraphed to Con-
gress to pass law declaring the best
men in the State banditti. This is
just what we would expect from PHIL.
and it is just what he was sent there
to do. If the party in power want
any innocent blood shed, they know
who to call and send to do it.
PHIL. is unfortunately SO constituted
that his instincts lead him to make
war upon innocent people. He won
his fame and became pet Of the Adj
ministration by burning out the
homes of poor women and chill
dren in the valley of Vir-
ginia. Thousands of :. women. and
children became homeless wander
ers and perished in the : cold or
Of starvation by his incendiary act.
The administrator promoted him for
it,, When sent out to fight the noble
red man Of the forest, true to his in
stinct, he murdered whole village,
including the women and children.
The Bulletin would have Congress pass
some wholesome laws for Louisiana
because SHERIDAN requested to have
the best people in that State declared
outlaws, and upon this testimony the
Bulletin cannot decide who is in the
wrong. Mr.. PHELPS, leading men,
Der of Congress-a Republican-was
sent to New Orleans by the authorities
at Washington for the purpose of in
vestigating the affairs of that State
Government, and after searching in-
vestigation he exonerates the White
League from all or any disloyal or
dishonorable acts or intentions. In
deed, he considers they have been of
great service to the government in
keeping peace and good order. But
SHERIDAN, the agent of the Govern
ment, wants them declared banditti.
He wants to try them by Military
Commission. Hesays, "Do that, and
leave the balance to me.' And the
Cabinet in solemn conclave at WASH
ington says, no need of further orders
about Louisiana-we will leave it to
General SHERIDAN; proving conclu-
sively that there was secret UNDER
standing between the Cabinet and
SHERIDAN before he went there. They
were to give such orders as he request
ed and leave the balance to him. The
fear of popular indignation alone pre-
vented the Cabinet from declaring the
White League banditti.

NEW YORK, January 9Th. = The
Times has the following concerning
Phil. Sheridan's "banditti order:'
"There isno fact justifying this theory;
but Sheridan's banditti dispatch could
scarcely be warranted under any con-
ceivable facts. Nothing like 1t has
ever been seen before under any Con-
stitutional Government Sheridan
could scarcely have shown greater
Ignorance or disregard of law if he had
proposed to the President to declare
the Constitution annulled, to disperse
Congress, silence all newspapers and
proclaim himself Dictator and Sheri-
dan sole minister and chief execu-
tioner.n The Times denies that the
Republican party is responsible for
Sheridan's vagaries.

SALT LAKE, January 5th.-One OF
John D, Lees wives, No. A, gives the
following review of the Mountain
Meadow massacre: 1t is claimed by
her that these emigrants poisoned
spring at Corn Creek, and an Indian
and some stock died therefrom; that
the Indians then rallied, followed the
train, and, Notwithstanding all the eff
forts, of the Mormons, the party was
surrounded by Indians. After several
days fighting, Lee induced the emf
grants to surrender their arms to him
in two wagons, with which he started
for Cedar City, telling them to follow
him for protection, soon after which
he heard firing and sounds of the mas
sacre, but he was unable to stop the
blood-thirsty Indians. The Gen:iles
consider this one of Brigham Young's
schemes.
